I have brought down with me copies of the new fashion plates which have just been issued—and you will note in this figure A—a sack sult—the athletic appearance to which I referred. ‘This suit is made in the 3-button cutaway sack style, aml the most popular material will be fancy striped cheviots, The vest is single breasted, has ‘& notched collar and closes with 5 buttons. | The trousers are cut moderately full at the hips arid gradually taper to 16% or 17-Imch bottoms. The side seams are welted. The back of the coat is 29 inches long for aver- age height and the shoulders are broad and gracefully rounded. The edges are single stitched. ‘Figure B gives the back view of a very dressy 3-button business cutaway. Herringbone ebeviot is the material represented. The eoat has lengths of from 32 to 33 inches for the man of average height. You will notice the back is ent without a center seam, which adds con- siderably to the dressy appearance of the coat. “Figure C fs the new open 3-bntton cutaway: suit.

The coat and vest are made of vicuna or Queen's Jubilee cloth and the trousers of striped worsted. The coat should be about 37 Inches long. The lapels are peaked, the roll fs silk faced to the but- tonhalés afd extends nearly to the waist seam.

The coat is a sirgle-breasted sack, with a bold round to the bottoni{)¢ and is made of black cheylot. ‘The breeches, which are pear- shaped, are of whipcord rejn- fe cd with buckskin, and the leggiugs are of box cloth. The vest may be-of the same- material as the coat, but as a general thing some fane terial will be preferred, Hope for Plain Men, “Mr. Gatchel, I understand you have the reputation of dressing a plain man so be- comingly that he will look handsome,’ remarked the re- porte “Wel, I try to bring ont a man's best points,’’ replied the tailor. I do not use the same pattern for all men. Each individual requires a special pattern, adapted to his own physical peculiarities.

Justus Henry Rathbone, the founder and past supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was born in Deerficld, N. Y., in 1839, and died A. E. Glascock. at Lima, Ohio, Dec2mber 9, 1889. He was a student at several of the leading institu- tions of learning in his state, but left col~ lege in 1857. He afterward taught school for awhile in the northwest. At the break- ing out of the war, h2, with others, form- ed a company of volunteers to ea part of the Ist Michigan Regiment, then organizing in Detroit. On account of some informality, the company was not accepted by the government, but its memb2rs subse- quently enlisted in other portions of the state. While in charge of the Eagle Harbor school Mr. Rathbone became so impressed with tha story of Damon and Pythias that he determined. to do all in his power to in- duce. men to follow an example so pure, generous and holy. The result of his study of this character was the ritual of the Order of Knights of Pythias. It was he, tog2ther with four associates, who assem- bled in this city February 19, 1864, and or- the first lodge of Knights of thias of the world.

Mr. Saxton, the contractor, who did the street work when the underground system was put in by this company, will also equip this section of the road. The south track street to 7th street s system, and the s of the U street branch of the Capital Traction Company are also run over this piece of track, but by the Love system. The two, however, are used on the same track without any difficulty. Under the agreement between the Capi- tal Traction and the Metropolitan com- panies, the U_street section is to be equip- ped wih the Metropolitan system, so that there is no interference with the opera- tion of the Love system. It is expected that success will attend the installation of the Metropolitan underground motive pow- er on the north track, as was the case with the south track. It is not known exactly how much time will be occupied in doing this work, but it is thought that it will not be many days before the entire exten- sion is finished. street from 9th w operated by —————_ Great Improvement Shown.
