CLOTHES FOK EVERY OCCASION. Extensive Wardrobes ‘Tailors’ of the Merchant tional Exchange Delegates, BUT THEY WAVE COME HERE FoR soMZTHING MORE THAN TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE WELL DRESSED—REPORT OF THE WASHINGTON EX- CHANGE—OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED. The appearance of the convention of fhe merchant tailors’ national exchange when assembled this morning in the red Parlor of the Ebbitt House for the second day's session showed quite a marked contrast with that of yesterday. The personnel ©f the delegates was the same and the contrast lay in the change of garments. In honorof the @pening session yesterday those who attended eppeared dressed in garments of unexceptiona- ble cut and stylish colors. Today most of them ‘were able to repeat their triumphs of yesterday nd to show to the eyes of admiring experts that all their taste and skill was not expended fm one suit of clothes. In fact, most of the de egates make a point when they attend these an- nual gatherings to bring a trunk full of band- pome new suits. SUITS FOR BVERY OCCASION. They have garments for morning wear, even- img wear and afternoon wear. In fact, for most any hour of the day or for any occasion the appropriate suit is at hand. It is unneres- sary to nd: that the convention is composed of well-dressed men, and the changes made pos- owing to the extensive wardrobes the command of the members| je not the least interesting feature ef the convention. It goes without saying that the clothes worn by the delegates are no ordinary garments. ‘They are devised by men who stand at the head of the sartorial — = sior ir this country, and, as every one knows, America leads the “ well-made clothes of good design. These men are creatorg, original designers, and in the clothes which they wear are illustrated toa large extent their latest ideas. A merchant tailor must always be on the alert to originate, and if he isn't his pro- ductions, as far as style and cut are con Decome very ar to ready-made clothes. Most any well-dressed man cau see in this con- | Yention the variety of styies and colors that ue will have a chance to select iis own wardrobe from for the next year. For this reason it may be said that a visit to the convention by thos who desire to be well dressed will have an educating influence. THE WASEINGTON EXCHANGE REPORT. If any one supposes, however, that there is nothing in this convention but clothes he would make very serious mistake. The va- rious exchanges are represented in the national body by bright, active men, who ure good talkers, and the discussions ere interesting and well sustained. ‘The session this morning was oceupied mainly with the reception of reports from the various exchanges. Some of the re- orts were verbal and others were written. Bie Washington exchange reported through its president, Mr. Heiberger, that during the past year the membership had in- creased 43° per cent, and that therefore the exchange was entuled to another delegate. Next year they hope to be able to be entitled to another delegate. The feature, however, of the report was a rfumber of im- portant resolutions and recommendations. One of the resolutions thanked the Treasury Department for the efforts made to stop the smuggling of ciothes trom Canada. Also a reso- lution indorsing the bill to prevent the manu- facture of clothing in unhealthy places and the Bate of such clothing. THANKED FOR ITs INTEREST. ‘The report was accepted with thanks to the Washington exchange for their interest in the work of the national body and the recommen- dations were referred to the appropriate com- mittees. Mr. Heiberger believes that the na- tional body bas important duties to perform and he likes to see ail the members show an active interest. His remaks in this line were Father forcibly and plaiuly put and exception ‘was taken to it by some of the members on the ground that Mr. Heiberger was trying to lec- ture the exchanges. Such a purpose, however, he promptly repudiated and his disclaimer was accepted by the convention and business re- sumed its even course. In one of the reports of the exchange it was stated that in addition to keeping a credit let, or, in other words a list of those persons who were in the habit of con- sidering that it is not important to pay their tailor bilis, a crank list was also kept up. ‘This Jatter contains the names of those inen who are for one reason hard to suit.and who havea tendeney to throw the clothes back on the tailor. ‘They are for this reason classed as un- desirable customers, and all the members of the exchange are notified of their character, and then if they undertake to make clothes for them they do 1 at their own risk. ‘THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. ‘The report of the executive committee, which was elaborate and contained recom- mendations on a number of important mat- ters, was read and acted upon. It was decided to the trade school im operation in New York city under the charge of the national body. At 10 o'clock the committee took a recess in Order to make a visit to the White House ‘The delegates will witness the play at the Academy of Music this evening as the guests ‘of the Washington exchange. ‘This morning «large number of the dele- took a ride on bicycles about the city. ir. E. H. Schneider was the escort and the trip was a delightful one. The smooth strects of the city were highly appreciated by the cyclers, who are not accustomed to such road- ‘ways at their own homes. ‘THE FASHION PLATE. Last evening a meeting of thé stockholders of the company to publish «fashion plate for the exclusive use of tailors who are members of the exchange was held. The following were ted directors to serve one year: Wm. C. Mertz, Washington, D. C.; Albert Beebe, Day- ton, Obio; L. 8. Davidson, New York city; W. F. Hammes, St. Louis: Chas. E. Hyde, Chicago, UL; A. 8. Smith. Allegheny, Pa., and Henry G. Hale. Pittsburg, Pa. Otticers were elected as follows: Aibert Beebe, president; L. S. David- son, vice presiden C. Mertz, secretary, and Henry G. Hale, treasurer. The first plate will be issued next fall and it is the intention to make it the best plate that ean be executed. Richard €. Notbohm, corresponding and @nancial secretary of the national exchange, is 9g ® “forty-niner” of the “badger state” and a rosperous citizen of jilwankee. When but @ lad he became imbued with the progressive western spirit, and upon reaching bis’ majority be began an active busi- ness career. Mr. Not-| bolum says that no city having a merchant tail- ors’ exchange can show ® more zealous and har- monious society than Milwaukee, nor is there Cat cad Fa ae, one among the list of | ‘or. and Fin. See. exchanges that takes greater interestin the aivaucement of the na- tional body aud the important questions in- volving the welfare of that organization. Mr. Notbohm was president of the Milwaukee ex change for three successive ter as chosen to the important office he now holds at the meeting of the national exchange in St. Louis ast year. Fortrendered by him reflects great credit on administration of his oftice for tie past year. Charles Edwin Hye. the treasurer, was born in New York city September 29, 1841. His Parents were old resi- = dents of New York aud were descended from the pioneers of western Massachusetts.

He was one of the principal founders of Covenant Lodge, No. 526, of Chicago, being the first se- nior warden and second master of this pros- perous lodge. R. J. Walshe, chairman of the executive board and also’ director of the Chicago ex- change, was born in Detroit, Mich, and having learned the trade he went to Chi- cago in 1855. He sought employment asacutter, in which capacity he labored until Septem- ber, 1861, when he suc- ceeded to the business with which he had been connected. The great fire of 1871 consumed everything he had ac quired in ten years time, but three weeks after he in busi- ness again, and when % | he moved back to the rebuilt portion of Chicago in August, 1872,there was not for quite a period of time another mer- chant tailor within a half mile of his establish- ment. On the orgunization of the drapers and tailors’ exchange in Chicago he was elected its first president and has been twice re-elected. | He has been present at every annual conve: | tion of the national exchange save the first, | being prevented from attending that one by sickness. He is interested heart and soul in | everything pertaining to the advancement and elevation ef the trade in. which he is engaged, and hopes that the time is not far distant when every city and town in the United States will | have a merchant tailors’ exchange. | _ Edwin N.

He is also considerable of a yachts- man, very much of an all-around athlete, and a member of the Lied- erkranz, Arion aud other | societies.

DOLL. henomenal, has made him celebrated as a | sad on any reception committee. as he always is with his duties as sec- re of the New York exchange, he finds time to attend to those he owes to the national exchange, of whose executive commit- tee he is the secretary. He has the reputation of always being on hand when he should be, of always being ready with what is expected of | him ‘and of never leaving undone that which he ought to do. As a secretary he is a model, as a hustler he is unsurpassed and as a clubable man he has few equals. Jas. S. Burbank, an officer of the executive board, was born in the town of Mattapoisett, Plymouth county Mass., January 21, 184 He attended ‘the com- mon schools in his native town until; the e of fourteen years and then entered a dry goods store in same town. At the age of seventeen ho secured a |. position in the old and S well-known house of Call & Tuttle, Boston; served them’ in the capacity of boy, sales- man and — assistant bookkeeper until Feb- JAMES S BUKBANK. ruary, 1872, when they gave him a junior interest in the business. Remained with them until February, 1880, and then joined the firm of Geo. Lyon & 'Co. With- drew from said firm in February, 1882. and started business on his own account. In the winter of 1886 the question of the formation of a merchant tatlors’ exchange in Boston was agitated, and he took great interest in 1t and was one of the original organizera He was elected seeretary and has held the office ever since. He was one of the delegates from Loston to Philadelphia im February. 1887, at the call of the Philadelphia exchange, to consider the formation of a national exchange and served as secretary during the preliminary meeting. He was a member of the executive committee of the natioual exchange for the year 1857; at the second annual con- vention of the national exchange, held in cinnati, Obio, was elected corresponding secr tary for the year 1883; at the third annual con- vention, held in New York,was re-elected corre- sponding and financial secretary for the year 1889; at the fourth annual convention, heid in Chicago in January, 1890,was elected president; the fifth annual convention being held in Bos- ton in August of that year, he was re-elected president for the term ending February, 1891, and was appointed by President Merwin a mem- ber of the executive board for 1891. His inter- est has increased rather than diminished in this work of the exchanges, so that he now looks forward to the national exchange becoming one of the strongest trade organizations in the country. Mr. Burbank has been of valuable as- sistance to the custom-house officers in his city in suppressing the smuggling of clothing from Europe, which for some time was on the in- crease in that city. Mr. W. H. Waters of Philadelphia was born in that city in 1853, learned tue art of tailoring =! a merchant tailor and | But | president. Tho sameenergy that characterizes him in business has been bestowed upon the office he now hold mighty strides made in the past year are the outcome of his determination to place the merchant tailors’ national exchange in the front and second to none in importance and influence in this or any other country. Under his leader- thip the subordinate exchanges Have increased in number from twenty to thirty-one, while the old exchanges have increased in member- ship, in many instances fifty per cent. suse ee oS THE PATENT EXAMINING CORPS. ‘What Col. Seaton Says of the New Method of Rating Employes. In speaking about the ‘article in yesterday's Stan relative to the application of the new method of rating the employes of the Interior Department to the examining corps of the | patent oflice, Col. Malcolm Seaton, a principal examiner, whoischairman of the committee that has the subject under consideration, said today to a Stan reporter: impression that there is any intention on the part of the examining corps or any member to evade the order of the President and the Secretary, such an impression is entirely erro- neous. This whole question of the application of the method of rating to the work of the examining corpe is now being considered by the committee, represent ing the principal examiners and the chiefs of division in the patent office. ‘The whole pur- pose of the committee is to give the matter careful attention with the view of carrying out this order as fairly, justly and impartially as possible. Of course there aro difficulties in the way of adaptmg such a system to the peculiar character of the work done by the ex- aminiug corps. ‘There are naturally some who are inclined to think that the proposed system could be improved and changed. {don't like the system myself and it is probable that the article in yesterday's Sram was bused on what has been suid at the mectings of the committee. ‘There has been a full and free interchange of opinions, and in a day or two the action of the committee will be em- bodied in a report, which will be submitted at ing of the principal examiners and heads on of the patent office. You will find, I venture to say, that this report will be in entire hariaony with the order and will provide for its _ execution in every particular. There are difficulties to able to reach a satisfactory conclusion. The report will recommend a daily report as to at- tendance, punctuality, &c., a8 well as provide for the other features of the system.

No News Yet Heard of West, but Many Theories Broached. “Where is Charles 8. West? '1s en unanswered question. ‘Len days have now elapsed since he disappeared ard wot a single word has been heard frow him. His poor mother is nesrly crazed from gril Why be shon'd hava disappeared as he did is a perplexing question. Once before, it is said, West made up hie mind to leave for parts unknown and would no doubt have gone had he not been persuaded to re- consider his foolish determination, which was the result of something having been said to him that hurt his feclings. Mrs. West, his mother, who woman, is left upon her own resources and she has already applied for a position in the office where her missing son was employed. The day West disappeared he drew his pay from the office, which amounted to about £40, but it is possible that he had more mouey with him, as he was a person who spent but little money outside of his home. His ctte bili was probably his heaviest expense, as he was an inveterate smoker. Some people believe that his mind was affected by cigarette smoking and that he wandered away. But even this theory is not advanced by many of his friends. The fact that he was last seen with two strange men leads some friends to believe that he went off with these men and some even fear that he has been foully dealt with. ‘The police, from experience in other similar cases, do not believe that anything has hap- pened to the missing man, but that he is in some other city, and that he undoubtedly gets amusement out of the stories put in circulation about him. an elderly at MADE-UP GARMENTS. The Committee Now Examining Them—Other ‘Work of the Association. The convention of the Custom Foremen Tailors’ Association resumed its sessions this morning ut 9:30 o'clock in the tea room of Willard’s, There was a large attendance pres- ent, anda considerable amount of important business was transacted. Mr. Charles A. Hunt, corresponding secretary, gave a brief report of what he had been called upon to do during the past year. It was decided to postpone the re- port of Mr. H. E. Parker, treasurer of the asso- ciation, till the last meeting, in order that he might carry his accounts through to the end of the convention. A communication was read from a gentl¢man who regretted his inability to be present to ex- hibit an invention of his by means of which a garment couid be cut in twenty minutes with- out the use of a tape measure or square. Mr. Du Nah objected to the reception of the communication on the ground that he did not want the association bulldozed by any man who claimed anything so foolish as the ability to make a perfect-fitting coat without trying it on, Mr. Du Nah’s remarks were received with applause and the communication was carefully deposited in oblivion. ‘he committee of gentlemen from the Mer- chant tailors’ exchange, who were selected to act us judges in the made-up garment contest, were brought into the convention and given in- structions by President Shepherd as to how the contest was to be decided. ‘They were then taken to the room where the garments were on exhibition and all other people were excluded from the room while they were engaged in the examination. While they were out Mr. Robert Phillips of Chicago, recording secretary of the association, was givenan opportunity to speak in the interest of the Phillips Publishing Com- puny, which publishes a trade magazine for the custom tailors of the country. He ex- plained the progress that has been made by the tailors of the United States in the past three years on the ground that inteilectuality had taken the place formerly occupied by jeaiousy. He said the life of the trade hes in springing new styles on the customers all the time. If this were done the mechanics of the trade would increase in numbers from 200,000 to 1,500,000 in the next five years. To do this the cutters must act asa unit. Mr. Philips, in conclusion, expressed the gratification at the kindly treatment accorded to the convention by the press of Washington, and said that they had never received iairer treatment from the trade press than they had from the newspapers in this city. On motion from Mr. J. E. Guble @ vote of thanks to the press was pasced. Mr. Charles J. Stone of the committee of ar- rangements made the report of the committee. Itwas recetved, and the committee was thanked after the remark by Mr. Parker that such a successful convention had never been held be- fore nor at such small expense. President Shepherd made a brief address, accenting the suggestion of Mr. Phillips that changes in style were necded, and he recom- mended the adoption of the “peg top” trousers or any other novelty that might be suggested provided it had merit. The awards of prizes had not been made when, at 12:30, the association adjourned to make a callin a body upon the President at the White House. The prizes, medals and diplomas, for made-up garments will be given out at the ban- quet which is to be held at Willard’s this even- ing at 8 o'clock. ‘There was no session of the convention this afternoon, and the members of the ussociation availed themselves of the opportunity to do u little sightseeing around Washington. ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, TO PROTECT LIVERY STABLE KEEPERS.

Flower is beyond question our strongest candidate. He has been elected gov- ernor by 50,000 plurality, has the confidence of both factions and is a safe, reliableand popular democrat. “If the controlling element of New York de- mocracy persists in forcing Gov. Hill upon the party, and will accept no other conclusion, it seems to me our candidate should come from the west, In that event my personal prefer- ence would be for that tried and faithful demo- crat, Wm. R. Morrison of Iifnois, but Palmer, Carlisle, Gray or Boies can command the full democratic vote.” OTHER LETTERS. Letters of regret were also read from Chas. A. Dana, Roger Q. Mulls, Gove. Flower of New York, Russell of Massachusetts, Pattison of Pennsylvania, Abbett of New Jersey, Fleming a Florida and enhinger of Oregon and many others. COMING OUT FOR HILL. The Rome (Ga.) Trilune created # sensation throughout the state yesterday by theannounce- ment in its editorial columns that henceforth the paper wili advocate the nomination of David }. Hill for the presidency. The paper has heretotore favored Cleveland. Hon. Jobn J. Seay, the proprietor of the paper, is one of the strongest political leaders in Georgia. In its announcement the Tribune says that it has become convinced that the de- mocracy of Georgia is overwhelming for Sen- ator Hill, and adds that no such democratic leader has appeared since the days of Andrew Jackson. It declares that Mr. Hill is the best man to lead the democratic hosts to victory. JERSEY DEMOCRATS FOR CLEVELAND. A meeting of prominent New Jersey demo- crate was held in New York yesterday. It was resolved that tariff reform, as advocated by the democratic party and approved by an immense majority of the people, should be the issue upon which that party will go before the con- vention at the coming presidential election, and that the unlimited tree coinage of legal, tender silver would. if adopted, bring distress and ruin to the country, and its advocacy will insure the defeat of any party making It an issue in the presidential clection. The mem- bers also pledged themselves to use all proper exertions to secure the nomination of Cleve- lund. ‘The Jersey men will establish perma- nent headquarters and take an active part in the coming campaign. Indiantans Banquet at South Bend. The second annual banquet of the Tilden Club was given at South Bend last night. Prominent democrats from all parts of the state and adjoming states were present. Let- ters of regret were read from ex-President Cleveland, Speaker Crisp and others of na- tional repute. Senator Palmer's letter was a Practical indorsement of Clevelaad’s can- didacy and was received with enthusiasm, as was every other reference to Cleveland's name. MURDERED BY HIGHBINDERS, An Eminent Chinese Physician in San Fran- cisco Wantonly Shot. Dr. Chuey Sue Yee, a Chinese physician, well known and respected in San Fran- cisco, died on Sunday from s wound in- flicted on him by two Chinese highbinders Saturday evening. The murder was most wan- ton and unprovoked evenfor Chinatown. The doctor was cooking his dinner in thé rear of house onDupontstreet whentwoChinese entered and made themselves obnoxious .The doctor requested them to stop, when, without a word, one of them drew # pistol and shot him in the abdomen. ‘The assuins fled and have not been captured. Usually the Chinese murderers are members of one of the warring societies, but the docto- docs not belong to any of these. I¢is thought possible the Six Companies wi take the matter in hand and band over the murderers to justice, otherwise the chance of cupturing them is very slight. ———_oo____ SLEPT OVEK FOUR MONTHS, The Kemarkable Case of a Silesian Miner. . Aminer named Latus, living at Myctovitz, in Prussian Silesia, bas just awakened from @ sleep that had lasted for four months and ahalf. During this entire period his limbs were rigid, but now he appears to have com- pletely recovered, and his cataleptic rigidity has vanished. Upon awakening from bis long sleep he conversed with his wife. He was not aware of the long time he bad been asleep. He does not recall any sensation of pain or any other sensa- tion. Latus is now threatened with inflamma- tion of the lungs, and should he be thus at- tucked he will probably die, as he is extromely weak and in no condition to battle successfully aguinst disense, ‘The only nourishment he takes is milk. Firebuge in San Diego. ‘That dangerous firebugs are at work in San Diego is evident beyond adoubt. After mid- night Sunday the St. James Hotel was found pouring forth great volumes of smoke.
