A narrow stairway leads from the court building proper to the little annex and the room isnot large enough to hold the prisoners and witnesses, making it neces- sary to exclude the general public, and many days the witnesses are roquired to remain down stairs, causing many needless delays, which result in compelling citizens to remain about the court much longer than would be the case had the court the proper accommoda- tions. ‘The net $40,000 auc about $14,000 to” make occupancy. profit last year was something like the judges are only asking for the building fit for peas Sa ‘Meeting of Journeymen Tailors, A meeting of the journeymen tailors of Washington. presided over by Mr. J.

Yesterday afternoon in Judge Miller's court James Mahoney, the keeper of a grocery store at the corner of North Capitol and P streets, was placed on trial, charged with being the keeper of an unlicensed bar.

Most of the bottles are known to the trade as holding twelve and fourteen ounces, while some hold but eleven ounces, The sealer of weights and measures appeared and from the bottles secured as evidence in the case he filled # pint cup.

President Shepherd Delivers His Annual Address—Other Business Transacted. At the afternoon session of the Custom Fore- men Tailors’ Association at Willard’s yesterday Mr. Charles J. Stone of Illinois gave an inter- esting talk on practical tailoring. He believed that to get the most satisfactory results cutters must study proportions. He exhibited pat- terns and showed the different results to be obtained by tho slightest change in their use, demonstrating how necessary it is for cutters to study the proportions of their customers. He would never, he said, make a large-stripea Piece of goods up for a large man nor a small pattern of stripes or checks for a tall, thin man. It would be an injustice to tallor's good taste to do sucha thing, and it is the tailor's duty to make his customer as neor ® model man as possible.

During the evening session he talked more at length of his method. PRESIDENT SHEPHERD'S ADDRESS. At the evening session of the convention, which convened at 8 o'clock, President Shep- herd delivered his aunual address, in the course of which he said: “Our object in coming east is to enlist the sympathy und active co-op tion of custom cutters and to promote the terest of custom tailoring, not only in the mid- die, but in the whole United States. We deem it a matter of the greatest importance that cutters should organize local and state socie- ties and authorize delegates to atiend these na- 1 conventions. ‘e are now on the verge of a radical change vle—that is, if history repeats itself, as it has heretofore—and now is the chance for the tailoring profession to make a desperate stride in promoting their own interest and the inter- est of tailoring. We know there are many cut- ters of talent and genius in Awerica who are truly artists and if we could enlist them in the grent cause of promoting tailoring tho time would not be far distant when tailors would be known as artists, and not mechanics. 1s there a greater art in covering canvas or plaster with pigments to hide its defects than to clothe men and women in such a way as not only to hide but even supply nature's deficiencies, blendin, outline with form, color with complexion an material with sentiment? Can we then take a back seat to the users of the chisel, the brush and palette? Are we not artists in'the widest sense of the ter ‘The address was followed by s talk by Mr. Jobn A. Griffith of New York. He said that during a trip over Europe last summer he had carefully studied the standards of European tailoring. These he had found far inferigr to those of this country. Neither in correctness of fit, art, style nor workmanship does Euro- pean tailoring equal that done in America. ‘The next meeting of the association will be held in Indianapolis during the fourth week in January, 1893. Tonight the convention will be banqueted at Willard’s. ensuing yoar— Harrin 0. G ——— VETERAN FIREMEN.
