Half of the tailoring done in Washington is unworthy the Much of it is cut on “chopping blocks” from common “shoddy” and half-wool materials and made up in the disease- breeding “sweat shops” of Baltimore, New York and Boston. It has been a long fight and a hard one to get you to appre- ciate “decent” “home” tailoring—“personally supervised” tailor- ing, but we are winning! We have at last, by immense buying at first hands and skillful manipulation of our “expert” force of tailors, pushed the price of our superior work right down to the price of their trash. The big business we are getting convinces us that you appreciate our efforts. We are getting repaid for the greatly lessened profits by this largely increasing patronage.

Gor GENERAL SPORTING NEWS SAN ANTONIO, October 14.—Corbett re- ceived the following telegram from W. A. Brady, at Hot Springs, last night: “Come at once; everything fixed; protec- tion guaranteed.” Corbett will leave for Hot Springs tomor- row night. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 14.—“There may be a fight at Hot Springs; but it will not be a prize fight,” said Gov. Clarke to an Associated Press representative. “I earn- estly hope that extreme measures will not be necessary. I know those people, every one of them, and they are my friends, and I should very much regret to be compelled to adopt harsh methods, but the law gives me the authority and supplies the means, | and, if the necessity arises, I shall certainly prevent the fight at any cost.” ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 14.—A special to the Republic from Hot Springs says: “The big fight will come off here October 31. In order to comply with the state laws, the articles of agreement of the Florida Athletic Club will be changed from a finish fight to a limited number of rounds, the referee being vested with power to stop the contest when, in his opinion, it becomes brutal. The contestants are to box with soft gloves. Spring Lake, a beautiful re- sort, four miles from here, has been select- ed by Manager Brady as Corbett’s training quarters. Fitzsimmons’ training quariers have not yet been selected. BALTIMORE, M4d., October 14.—Talk 1s being indulged in’ by local sports of ar- ranging to have the Corbett-Fitzsimmons contest brought off on Maryland soll in the ferm of a limited round sparring bout. So far those who are enginecring the scheme have met with no encouragement. Man- ager Al Herford of the Eureka Athletic Club, who brings off most of the big spar- ring contests here, refuses to have any- thing to do with the scheme. Gov. Brown said this morning that Cor- kett and Fitzsimmons could not even take part in a limited round contest here for the reason that no matter what it might be called it would, in fact, be a prize fight, and the lawful authorities would prevent it. WILL GO AT MORRIS PARK. An Important Three Weeks’ Meeting to Be Held at Westchester. ‘Thanks to the disinterested and unceas- ing labors of August Belmont and his asso- ciates, the gates of Morris Park will be thrown open tomorrow for a three weeks’ meeting, and the best traditions of the turf will be lived up to.at the most superb race course in America. The program gives every promise of brilliant sport. There are rich stakes for two-years-olds and three-years-olds, with great handicaps for the older division. No one can complain of the distribution of the prizes. The famous Nursery stakes and the Manhattan Handicap will be the fea- tures Tuesday; the Withers, which has been made a handicap, will be run Thurs- day, and on Saturday there will be the Albany stakes for two-year-olds. As the one objection urged by trainers against Morris Perk, the hill, has been removed by the new mile track, the entries in all the events promise to be unusually large. ‘The state racing commission held several sessions st New York ‘Saturday. Joseph S. Auerbach made the following statemen' “Col. S. B. Laurence, president of the Wes: chester Racing Association, was arrested and placed uncer parole, in charge of Mr. Auerbach. A writ of habeas corpus was granted by the judge, returnable before the court of Oyer and Terminer Monday morning. Corporation Counsel Scott, in reference to the police commissioners, sug- gested that proceedings should be taken to test the legality of racing at Morris Park, so it was decided to make a test case by the arrest of Col. Laurence.” NEW YORK, October 14.—Judge Ingra- ham, in oyer and terminer, today declared tkat no crime was contemplated by the Morris Park races, which open tomorrow. The matter was brought up by a test case, which was agreed to on Saturday on a conference between the police commission- ers, the district attorney and the state racirg and the West Chester Racing As- sociation. Tistrict Attoraey Fellows had advised the police commissioners that in his opinion the racing at Morris Park would not be illegal, or, at least, that no arrests should be made before a hearing on the subject had been had from a higher court than had heretofcre decided upon it. This was in view of the fact that Judge Bischoff, in this city, and Judge Gaynor, in Brooklyn, had rerdered opposing opinions on the consti- tutionality of the Drecy-Gray racing law.

The Gallaudet College Foot Ball Eleven Wins at Kendall Green. The Central High School eleven suffered defeat Saturday afternocn at the hands of the Gallaudet College “team of foot ball players in the presence of quite a large crowd. Two twenty-five-minute halves were played, the Gallaudet boys winning by @ score of 20 to 0, Play commenced with the ball in the hands of the High School team, and at the end of ten min- utes’ time Price scored a touch down, goal being kicked. Five minutes later Price made another touch down, and again goal was kicked. When time for the first half was called the ball was on the High School's five-yard line. In the second half Erd made a great run of twenty-eight yards, maxing the third touch down in twelve minutes’ time, but goal was missed. Ten minutes later Grimm was pushed over for the fourth touch down, but goal was again missed. The tackling of the High School boys was a feature of the game.

S.H.S.B. ao 5 ” er ite tore en Zn eSB ao lS 28F VINDICATED THE “ROOTERS.” Denial of Outrageogs Treatment of the Orioles. In regard to the assertions that the Bal- timore players were outrageously treated by the spectators in the games at Cleve- land, Elmer E. Bates, the Cleveland ¢orre- spondent of the Sporting Life, writes of one of the games: “I am thus able to refute, with a stubby pencil on scratch paper, the idiotic charge that the Orioles were subjected to any un- usual treatment here. A few farmers came into town from Berea and brought with them potatoes. These they hurled at each other, and, incidentally, one or two xot out upon the field. This gave the newspa- per boys who came along with Hanlon’s men a great chance to shout about inter- ference. In their eyes the potatoes were ‘gigantic rocks,’ and instead of falling harmlessly on the field they ‘inflicted bad bruises on the players.’ “Now, all this is very silly. I haven't saved much money in the newspaper busi- ness, but I will oiler $25 to any Baltimore Player who will produce before a repu- table witness any bruise, mark, abrasion, wound, scar or other indication of injury as a result of the games played in this city in the Temple cup games. “Some of the moih-eaten, moldy and out- of-date notions ~bout games being ‘thrown’ were put to rest as a result of the first three games in this city in the Temple cup series. The Orioles simply were unable to bac either Cuppy or Young with any ef- fect. That tells the whole story, but it may be added that both pitchers were backed up by supero fielding, as brilliant as was ever seen cn any diamond. “Presents came thick and fast in the final game. Ed. McKean got a diamond ring worth $1 ‘Cuppy received a present of a hammerless shotgun and a picture of himself incased in silver. Zimmer doffed his cap to a diamond pin; Young and Bur- kett were given firearms in addition to the latter’s diamond medal; t ‘Tebeau’s dia- mond ring was worth $300 of airybody's money, and thus it went on, diamonds, floral horse shoes, watches, umbrellas with golden headed sticks, ete.. etc., to every ™an on the team.

Brewer, appoint a meeting with Capt. Lea and adjjist rules and arrange de- tails of the game. There is now little doubt that the two colleges will come together. General Sporting Notes. The board of governors of the Palisade Boat Club of Yonkers has made a formal complaint egainst the intermediate eight- oared crew of the Montrose Boat Club of Philadelphia, asking that they be debarred from furtker ccmpetition in amateur row- ing. They sllege that the Montrose crew intentionally fouléd tHe Palisade crew in the Washington régatta on August 23. The executive committee of the Natio: Association of Amateur Oarsmen held th regular quarterly meeting in New York Saturday «nd discussed the alleged fouling of the Palisade Boat Club by the crew of the Montrose Boat Club of Philadelphia in the intermediate 8-odred shell race at the Potoriae river regatta on August 24. A com- mittee, consisting of Dr. Corrad Berens, O. P. Schmidt und Julius Mahr, will take tes- timony and report at the next meeting, in January. The fight between young Griffo of Aus- tralia and George (Kid) Lavigne of Sagi- naw, Mich., at Maspeth, L. I, was declared a draw Saturday night ofter twenty hard- fougnt rounds.

THE COREAN REVOLT geageseneser Murder of the Queen by the Mob. THE KING SAID 70 BE A PRISONER His Father Has Proclaimed a Dic- tatorship. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE The Paris correspondent of the London Standard says that the Herald's Seoul dis- patch reports that the Japanese troops were at the gates of the palace during the brtchery incident upon the uprising of the anti-foreigners, headed by Tai Won Kun, father of the King of Corea.. There was nething to show that the Japanese min- ister was aware of the plot. The king is now a prisoner, and his father has been proclaimed dictator. A new cabinet has been constituted of Japanese elements. ‘The queen’s officials have fled. The Japa- nese soshi hss been arrested for the mur- der of the queen. British Cruiser Ordered to Coren. A Shanghai dispatch to the London Times Says that her majesty’s cruiser Edgar has suddenly been ordered to Chemulpo, where she will land a force of marines. It is reported from Pekin that some of the MaLommedan rebels in the province of Kansu have captured the city of Lan Chau, the capital cf the province. Japanese Among the Rioters. A cablegram to the New York World from Tokio, Japan, says: Persons wearing Japanese uniforms end carrying Japanese swords were among the rioters who lately attacked the royal palace in Seoul, Corea. At first li was supposed they were Coreans disguised as Japanese, but now it Is suspected that they were Japanese soshi, apparently hired ruffians. The Japanese government has ordered an exhaustive inquiry. ‘The chief procurator (prosecutor) of the court of Yokchama has been sent to Corea to direct the investiga- tion. The queen, it {s belleved, is dead. The Tal Won Kun is supreme. He has forced the king to issue a decree degrading nis consort to the level of a concubine and out- lawing her family. The foreign legations at Seoul are guarded by marines from the foreign warships at Chemulpo. All is quiet. The Murder of the Queen. Mr. John A. Cockerill, the New York Her- ald’s correspondent in the Orient, sent the following dispatch, which was interdicted at Toklo, but finally allowed to go: SEOUL, Corea, October 10, 1895.—The pal- ace was broken into on Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock by a body of Corean troops and a band of Japanese sosu. in civilian dress. The colonel in command of the treops, on refusing to enter the palace, was killed, and a number of the palace guards were slain. The Japanese entered the queen’s room and killed the queen, the minister of ‘he household and three’ women. The todies were taken outside and burned. The Japanese troops were at the palace, but took no part in the proceedings. Tal Won Kum the king's father, reached the palace soon after the assault and as- sumed the chief authority. He is now dic- tator and is known to have been in the plot. The pro-Japanese party are in control. Many of the queen's party have been er- rested and many more have fled. It is belfeved that the queen dowager was killed last night, and that the king will be forced to abdicate. Guards from the United States warsh'p Yorktown and a Russian cruiser at Che- mulpo have been ordered up. Great excitement prevails. It is thought that the butchery will hasten action on the part of Russia. The Queen's Influence. From the New York World. From the beginning the queen has frus- trated Japan’s reccnstruction plans. The shrewdest Japanese diplomats have been sent to Seoul, but she baftled every one. Oyeshi was stationed there because he was energetic, forceful. After he had vainly tried fom six months to carry out the Jap- anese program Otcri took his place and tried cenciliation, but with no better re- sult. Count Inouye, one of Japan’s ablest statesmen, was then taken from the im- Pperial cabinet, in which he was the home secretary, and sent to Corea. The queen, upon whom everything de- pended, associated with no foreign woman, except the Russian minister's wife, for whom she manifested great friendship. Russia is Japan's only rival now for con- trol in Corea. To win the queen from Russian influence was of the first import- ance. Count Inouye was accompanied to Corea by his wife, who has the reputation of be- ing highly accomplished, a natural diplo- mat and popular with her sex. Count Inouye had little if any better success than his predecessors. Regarding the queen, who had thwarted his cherished schemes, he frankly said: “She has a sagacity rare among her race, and for her weaknesses there are many extenuating circumstances. Her in- genuity in taming her inveterate foes and making them work devotedly for her is unsurpassed by any one.” The queen hated Japan with an intense and unconquerable hatred. The Japanese have sent over their most skillful diplo- matists, but nothing could turn the queen. She was bred to admire the Chinese, and therefore she hated the Japanese. As long as the queen lived Japan could hope for nothing, for the weak king, to suspect any and every one else, was blindly enslaved by the queen, a remark- able reversal of the usual order of things in Corean domestic economy. ——_+e-+—_. A WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE With Men Whom She Met in the World of Business. From Womankind. The woman who meets men in business in a sensible way, thinking no evil and ex- pecting none, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred will be treated respectfully and kindly; indeed she will find men much kind- er and more considerate than women in business dealings. In the possible hundredth case, where a man shows himself a beast or a puppy (by the way, I believe a puppy is a beast also, but we will let it go at that), it is a very weak woman who cannot main- tain her dignity and teach her insulter a valuable lesson at the same time. During the years in which I was earning my living by newspaper writing I have been in tenements, cellars, through the slums, among chained and guarded con- viets and in drawing rooms—the worst places of all, sometimes, my lady—and al- most invariably have found men in rags, stripes or broadcloth kind, courteous and helpful. In threading my way through barrow byways in search of some item of news I have stopped to ask questions of the denizens thereof and never yet have found a man so drunk that he did not man- age to claw his hat off his head while he answered me in respectful, though some- what tangled up language. : Tam not declaring that all men are saints; in business they will crowd and supplant women, which they have a perfect right to do, if they use honest methods. Twice while earning my living I have been thrown out of good positions by men; not because they wanted or could fill the place I had, but through business jealousy and by un- derhand methods that would make a horse thief tlush; so I am prepared to admit that there are mean men, but they are in the minority. Men are just as“good, just as honorable, as generous and as worthy of trust and confidence as the women. It is time that this ery of working women against men be stopped. If a woman re- spects herself she will be respected, and this is the testimony of those gifted’ with beauty as well as ordinary, plain people, like yours truly. We find what we look for in this world; if we look for evil we find it, if for good, our search is doubly rewarded. —_—_—_-—___—<_ ~ The Evening Star for the full time the mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” is running, including back numbers, will be sent, postpaid, to out-of-town subscribers for 60 cents.

From the Gentlewoman, ‘There need be few if any “ructions’’ in a house the mistress of which has common sense, an even temper and a certain amount of foresight. However, she should be capable of managing small details for herself and should not unduly bother her husband about things which she should carry throvgh alone, beceuse to do that is one of the reasons why she exists at all. I am not one bit astonished at the ridicu- lous manner in which some people talk about marriage and the “fearful thral- dom and misery thereof,” when I have seen the idiotic way in which some women behave, and the manner in which they take every little detail of their lives to their un- fortunate spouses to legislate for, from the evil doings of the cook and washer- woman to the real or supposed social slights they have met with. A man de- tests these puerile matters, and she is wise who can manage her own domestic detafis and who never sees any slights. It is only a very small person who can be snubbed, and to acknowledge a snubbing acknowl- edges one’s own smallness in a singularly frank and open manner. _ But if a woman feverishly dwells on these things it maddens a man altogether, and I, therefore, advise the woman who is not err-ancipated, and who doesn’t tiink tout marriage in the imbecile way all too many people fancy they do nowadays, to arrange her: home and her life so as to have 4s little friction as possible, and to avoid all the small carelessness and forget- fulness from which so many silly little disagreeables all too often spring, resulting sconer or later in the grave quarrels which nay undermine a household and bring the whole “estate of matrimony” into un- deserved contempt. Men are impatient creatures, and must be recognized as such, and they are also very much more resent- ful of small discomforts than women are. VIEWS OF LIFE And of Men an Expressed in Witty Terms. _ From London Truth. It has been observed from time immemo- rial that a curious perversity of climate—so we have been accustomed to consider it— generally provides one sort of weather to match a precisely opposite sort of clothing. Thus a walking stick will generally attract rain and an umbrella will produce sunshine, Indeed, the principle of perversity gov- erns every department of life. Should sun- shine be necessary it will be wet. Docu- ments of no importance are never mislaid. We invariably meet the people whom we are anxious to avoid and miss those we es- pecially wish to meet. A woman generally loses her heart to the wrong man; @ man generally marries the wrong woman. Every one will be able to add to these ex- amples almost indefinitely from personal experience. There are no accidents whatever in life. Modern science has established that every incident is governed by an invariable law Careful observation and the study of sta- tistics prove beyond the possibility of doubt that clothes do very materially influence wedther, a discovery which shouid be inval- uable, not only to the farmer, but to @very member of the community. Recent science, moreove:, has erroneously adopted the theory of the survival of the fittest, The primal Jaw which govei every circumstance of life is the survival of the unfittest. For instance, if a man is to irherit a fortune from a relative the latter will survive to extreme old age. In litera- ture and in art the man of talent fails; the charlatan attains fame. In finance and in commerce the swindler makes a fortune and becomes fashionable; the honest man is driven into bankruptcy. An enemy ts sure to flourish. The pattern Sunday school boy is cut off in his youth; the truant grows to manhood, marries happily and dies respect- ed and regretted by all. The worthy youth never marries the woman he loves; she marries his utterly worthless rival.
