With a com- plete line such as he is now placing on his shelves there is no doubt but that he will receive a prosperous HE COMMON BLACK COAT. It May Be Superseded by One of Lighter Color, It would apppear from one of our trade organs that tailors are becoming a little anxious about the prospects of the ck coat of civilization, They fear it is in danger of being supersed- ed by a garment of lighter hue, if not of variegated pattern. Perhaps, if they were to give voice to the deeper apprehensions, they would say that there was more at stake than the black coat. There can, at any rate, be little doubt, whether the tailors are willing to admit it or not, that with the fate of the black coat is bound up that of the black waistcoat. Whether the two have been lovely and pleasant in their lives is a matter of opinion, but we feel sure that in death they would not be divided. ‘We mean no disrespect to the vest in describing it as a parasite of the eoat. It is an humble dependent, which has only found its way into so- ciety under the wing of its influential patron, to whom it adheres with a sin- gle-breasted fidelity rewarded on the other side by an attachment which is rarely brokén save for a short period during the summer months. The trousers, it is true, are connected with the upper garments by no such feudal tie; but their own opinion is complete, and, except in very hot weather, indossuluble. Hence, the far- sighted tailofs no doubt perceive clear- ly enough that if the black coat goes we shall be within measurable dis- tanee of the “tweed suit.” Nor are there wanting those who would do their best to accelerate the catastro- phe. Animated by the restless spirit of the age, its impatience of sobriety and its thirst for change and color in cos- tume, as in life, there is a school of so-called reformers who are endeavor- ing to urge the wearers of black coats to revolt. Let them give free play, ex- plain their anarchistic counselors, to “their taste Jn checks and stripes,” and they will be able to cut a far more picturesque figure at a far smaller an- nual outlay. With the outlay, of course, the public is not concerned, though that matter, doubtless, is not without its interest for the tailors; but we own to some uneasiness at the idea of the entire community indulging its multifarious taste in checks and stripes in a headlong pursuit of the picturesque. We have all of us, indeed, seen the experiment tried under very favorable circumstances, but with little more than dubious results, by those little bands of vocal and instrumental art- ists, generally six or eight in number, who are usually to be met with at race meetings or on the sands of popular seaside resorts at this time of the doa These pioneers of dress reform ave entirely discarded the black coat, preferring one of gayer color, with bo- ticeable-elongated tails, and the free- dom with which they indulge their taste in checks and stripes may almost be said to border upon license. Yet the effect, even with the addition of an open shirt collar of Elizabethan pro- portions, a corked face and a banjo, eannot be described as entirely pictur esque.—London Telegraph. Floating Sanitariums, The sanitarium at sea is a European Idea. A large steamer especially fitted up for thé accommodation of invalids in need of fresh air and a favorable climate is to be constructed by'’a ship- owning association. The ship is to be in constant employment for eight or nine months in the year, but for at least three months out of the twelve she will go into dock in order to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. It is proposed to make this steamer which is to be the forerunner of a large fleet similarly equipped, a veri- table floating palace in the matters of both comfort and salubrity. Al- though skilled advice and nursing will always be available, the accompani- ments of a sanitarium will be kept as much as possible in the background. The prominent idea to be carried out patronage. He will also keep all the magazines and daily papers. Dr, Z. K. Brown of Virginia and Victor Dolliver, of Minneapolis are here ona fishing trip. They are be- ing piloted this week by W. E. Neal. Mr. Dollver is an attorney of the Flour City, and a brother of Congress- man Dolliver of Iowa. Felix Malett, Wm. Weitzel, W. D. Leeman and Dave Cochran returned from Anoka, Thursday, where they at- tended the Republican congressional convention and helped to nominate Page Morris. Hon. D. M. Gunn and C. C. McCarthy have not yet put in an appearance. J. W. Johnson is having an exten- sion built to his pleasant residence on Leland avenue. When the work is completed Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will have one of the most beautiful homes inGrand Rapids. Web. Gilhland is the contractor, which is a sufficient guarantee that it will be well done. ‘T. H. Hennessey also has a contract to put in a system of water works. As refined entertainers the Brandon & Brandon organization of players have given the people of Grand Rap- ids an inovation in the series of high class vandeville and variety entertain- ers which they are producing this week. An entire change of program for tonight, overflowing with laugh- provoking situation, songs and dances. The same prices prevailing—general admission, 25 cents; children 15 cents; in this new departure is the isolation of a dangerous class, with the least possible amount of discomfort to its members; and, furthermore, that by a judicious timing of moves the suffer. ers will be afforded a chance of recoy- ery under the most favorable climatic conditions, which it would be difficult to secure otherwise. A lst of anchor ages has been made, all of which have their special seasons. As soon as any undesirable change of weather is im- minent at the port of stopping, the ship will sail for a more salubrious climate, Lawn Billiards, Lawn billiards is the latest sugges- tion for the popularization of garden parties. The game is, as yet, so little known that it merits a word or two of description: A ground about the same size as that used for croquet is rolled as smoothly as possible, and its bound- aries banked up a few inches in imita- tion of cushions. Croquct balls can be used, and holes in the turf take thd place of the regulation pockets. The D and balk line are marked with white chalk, and for cues a broad-pointed im- plement is employed with a small roller at the end on its underside to enable it to run with ease over the sur face of the grass. No stooping is re- quired, and those who have tried the game with appliances made to their own order and lawns pared by themselves are convinced that if the requisites were easily procurable and grounds upon which it could be played more numerous, lawn billiards would attract to garden parties many who at present attend them more for duty than pleasure.—London Telegraph. Very Unnatural. Mrs. Easy—Only to think of such a Reserved seats, 35 cents. Admiral Dewey’s injunction to his men: “Keep perfectly cool, and pay attention to nothing but orders,” might answer excellently as a motto for thechurch, On“Children’s Day” parents and children gather to hear and learn the order of the Captain of the army of the Faithful. If we at- tend to His orders fully. we shall cer- tainly win victories such as we have not yet achieved.
