Ease and Elt:gancu in Genllemen's Atire, No Startling Innovations Expected for the Coming Seasen—Tho Correct Thing ¥ and Collars, Gents' Trousers Now York Journal. Fashionable tailers say that there will beno decided changes in the cut of clothes the coming season. Some are trying to introduce a longer cutaway coat made to cling closer to the body an hay- ing five buttons instead of toree or four. The skirts are not cutaway as much as formerly. Mr. Doll said yesterday that such coats mighe do for tall men, to whom they gave a more elegant look. But on short men such a garment gave the wmppearance of being all buttons. They are mot so comfortablo as the ordinary cutaway. Both coats and vests will be cut lower in the neck than last year, 80 as to display more of the shirt front. Trousers acs not cut so tight as they have been. Evening dress broadeloth “suits show little change, though the vests are cut a little wider and the lapel or rolling collar of the coat is made narrower. Prince Albert coats are double-breasted, buttoned pretty high in the neck and not as long as formerly. As regards matoeriala, there is an inclination to push plaids and English and Scotch tweeds, particularly for sack suits, the vests being made without collars, Over gaiters of the same material are now worn with theso suits and give a more English appearance at tho sacrifice of comfort. For weddings in the afternoon Prince Albert coats and medium dark trousers are worn, cutaway coats being worn for morning weddings. Black or dark-brown diagonals and cork-screws are favorite materials for coats and a narrow stripe of quist color for trousers. _ L A great many ribbed pique white shirt fronts are worn in preference to linen. Four, two or one stud is correct, the lat- ter for evening dress. Many percale or Madras cloth shirts in fine patterns of checks and stripes of red, pink and blue are worn with white collars. The stand- ing collar, coming close together in front, in the favorite, especially with young men, the width varying from 1} to 2} inches to suit the taste of the wearer or the length of his neck. Turn-down col- lars with lapels ate preferred by old gen for rain, and the young man went so far as to concede a cold rain. From time to ti.ae the driver crooked his finger in a significant manner at people on the side- walk. The driver was not flirting with the ladies going home from shopping tours, The crooking of the finger meant, “‘Do you want to take this stage?” Some did and some didn’t. For those who did he slowed up, and came as nearly to n stop s his tea « would permit. He would saw vigorously on the reins, yell “‘Whoa!” and make remarks in deroga. tion of the horses, Tae off horse was of that peculiar shade of buff which is known in horses as ‘‘bu kskin, The near animal was a bay mare, “‘That buckskin,” said the driver, ‘‘is blind as a bat. He's gota mate just his color. I was off three or four days last week, and whoever drove the team lamed the mate, I never lamed a horse irn my life; never. I've been driving in New York 25 years 1 was driving a stage in 1860, We used to make 84 or 85 a day then. The boss was satisfiod it we turned in a ressonable sum in those days, but it ain’t s> now, There’s no money in stage.driving these days. Will you get out of the way? Look out where you're driving'—this last to the driver of a wagon who ran his vehicle across the track in which the stago was moving. **Where'd you get that wild ass of the desert you're driving anyway{"” No information on this point being given the stage driver continued: “T was driving stage when the war broke out. A fellow camo to me, & personal friend of mine, and asked me to work for him driving his cart 80 he could go to the war. I was making plenty of money on the stage. There wasn't anything in my friend’s offer to tempt me, 8o 1 told him I wouldn’t go. He rode with me four days, coaxing me to go. Finally 1 said I would. He was a personal friend of mine, but there wasn’t any money in 1t —not enough work to keep me in cigars if I had been hauling by the load. It was iron I was handling. One day I met with an accident, got my leg and foot crushed under some iron. I was in the Now York hospital a long time getting over that. It was down in Broadway When 1 got out my leg wasn't good for much.” The stage rolled out of Union square into Broadway grazing an Italian’s candy stand on the corner. The young man held his breath until he felt he was grow- ing black in the face in expectation of seeing the Italian go under the wheels, Tho stage coasted along down the west side of the street, picking up passengers here and there and letting out others. There scemed plenty of room on the tlemen. A plain, square-corner cuff is most elegant, the culfs for link buttons not being so favored lately. Night-shirts are made with fancy fronts showing red or blue stripes, or , various colors em- broidered on the bosom and round the edge of the collar, which is wide and rolling. Pajamas of silk or cotton are growing in favor to sleep in or to loaf around the room in undress while ehav- ing, swingiog dumbbells, ete. They are a short shirt and loose pair of drawers and are very comfortable. Half-hose are worn in dark colors, drabs and blues. In handkerchiefs white pongee silk, with fancy colored borders, and plain white silks have superseded the flaming colored silks, The styles in neckwear are various The Albert flat or puffed scarf is a favor- ite. The four-in-hand long silk tie is also a favorite. Striped, figured and spotted Ottoman silks, armures, brocades, taffo- tas and twills are worn, light colors being sure to come to the front with warm weather, Small white scarfs, are worn for afternoon weddings and demi-dress. Lawn ties for evening buckle in the ba of the neck, having a ready-made bow in front. White or pearl gloves for evening wear have black stitched backs, but many do not wear any gloves indoors. Tan or snuff colored gloves, with black stitch- ed backs or tan gbuckl, are favorites for the street. Bearf pins are worn with high buttoned coats and eum‘};xile solid gold or single jewelr, diamonds, pearls or cat's-eyes and even opals, The designs in gold range from pl cubes to flies, spiders, ele- st. | phants, owls, horses and dogs set with turquoise, diamonds, garnet or pearls. ECTS Limoges enamel is also used to make the flgures. Hammered silver jewelry is still worn to some extent, as well as ham- mered and dead gold. Mulacea canes of various colors with silver imitation of buckhorn handles are the famous walking stick and are elastic. Canes are also of- fered of Bouth American woods and «f bamboo with all sorts of eilver heads. Ebony or gatta percha canes have go.d hoads. Lislo thread or Balbriggan un- derwear show gay colored stripes princi- pally. Rowingshirts of netare handsomely trimmed with silk, Gauze shirts are also shown in colors. In the way of hats the orown of the fahivnable derby is nearly a8 high as formerly, but there is less roll to the brim, giving it an eppearsnce of greater width, On some buckles are at the back of the hat band. Black and seal brown ure favorite colors. The silk hat is of good height and well-formed, the brim being slightly less rolling, Soft tourists’ hats are to be had in cloth and felt. There is a decided reaction against long pointed shoes, though more poine is allowable for dress and evening wear than for ordinary street use. Patent leather is growing in favor, for material, and imi- tation goat skin, though nothing is per- haps more appropriate than calf, o — Ladies!

The tide of fashion and pleasure flooded by him, but he heeded it not, His mind was fixed on something higher—a seat beside the driver of & Broadway stage. The young man had uever ridden upon a New York stago. Neither had he ever trusted him- within one. His mind was filled with auticipation, but he wondered how on earth he was ever the top of vehicle. The driver, ho sup- posed, climbed up on a raiter at the stables aud dropped down on the top of the thing. There avo no rafters in Broad way at Twenty-third street. Fow things ara a8 hard in this world as they seem The driver yanked the young man up, wmed into # seat on his right, asked a8 going, jerked him his lap to 3 over hi ¢ on hus left, and didu't seem to mind it at all. The young man devoted his attention to hangiug on sud woudering if it was wore difficult owder, to .| hold an im’uut upon & man who had .| who halfulen from a Broadway stage than one who hud died a less violent leath. Vietor Hugo, the young man had read, always tosu on top of a stage, bus then the strects of Paris are better paved than the streets of New York, “‘Raw day,” suggested the dnvie vie opinion that it was The driver thought it was The and Roing to too cold ¥ ox| Roing to limb up o | street, but the young man knew that if he was down with the crowd he would think it was a busy day. ‘‘There’s a good many people on the atreet,” he remarked to the driver. “No more than there usually are on Mondays.” *‘Are there more on Mondays?” “Well you see women have to stay in Sundays, and they make up for it Mon- day. When I got out of the hospital a friend of mine who had been appointed an engineer in the fire department found me work there. I was in the department 15 years. First1 was driver, then my friend was promoted and got to be chief. and he made me foreman of the horse hospital. After a while he became a commissioner, and he offered me the po- sition of superintendent of the hospital. I took it, and that's when I made a fool of myself. It wasa political office and I hadn't influence enough to keep me and 1 was bounced. I went to a man I knew and he got me this. Hanged if Idont believe that mare is blind too,” The polo of the stage ran into the rear end of an express wagon, and slipped under » messenger sitting on the tail board. The stage driver sawed on the bits, the horses threw up their heads, and the end of the pole raised the mes- senger up and tripped him over back- ward, When he came up he made some’ remarks of an emphatic nature. “Oh, what's the matter with you?” yelled the driver. *“‘Shat up and keep atill or I'll raise you through the roof. Funny how some folks savs money. I had & salary of $1500 a year as superintendent. When L was bounced I hadn’t 25 cents. The last year I was there I went to & man I was doing business with and asked him for §25. He let me have it quick enough. Then he said: ‘How much money do you suppose you have drawn from me this year?' I said I didn't know. ‘Two thousand dollars,’ says he. He had his books there to show it. I was dealing with four fellows, and he was only one of them.” The young man clambered down to the ground, Twenty minutes later, by a coincidence he took the same stage up Broadway. *‘In business around hexc?” asked the driver. The young man ad- mitted his connection with the press. *‘I used to know a reporter,” said the driver. ‘The young man congratulated him, and suggested that that scquaintance was doubtless formed during his palmy days. “‘Ho was on the Star, on the old Star, when Joe Howard had it. He was an awful nice fellow, but he had one failing, and that was whisky. Ho got to carrying on #o they put him in an inebriate syl um, After two or three months he came cut and he was as straight as a string Bat he_fell back, and I suppose he went to the devil. I don’t remember his name.” The stage siddled across the street, picked up & woman, and threw a little dirt on a slender, good looking wan on the sidewa'k. ““That's Justice-—," said he driver. *‘I used to know him when was a politician, He don't know any more about law than I do sbout making w watch.

THE WORLD'S FAIR, Suggestion to Form a Joint Stock Company. San Franclsco Chrovicle, A meeting of the World’s Fair commit- tee was held in the Palace hotel last night, The principal business transcted was the reading of the report of the secrotary, Marcus D. Boruck, which was substantially as follows: Since the orga- nization of the committee the secretary has circulated 119,688 circulars and let- ters and 67,890 papers and_documents in regard to the exposition; 25,000 blanks for signature in favor of asking govern- ment aid to the amount of $2,000,000 have also been circulated, making a total distribution of 212,678, The peti- tions wero sent out only thirteen days since and thus far they have gained 9000 signatures. Tho great interest of the people in the scheme has been made manifest by the prompituds in thus sign- ing. To raise a sufficient fund of money to meet the absolute requirements of the work a joint stock company should be formed with a capital of £500,000, upon which 10 per cent should be paid at the timo the subscription is made. The shares should be $10 each, thus render- ing them obtainable by persons of limited means as well as by those of affluence, This insures a good working sum and will place the undertaking upon a some- what substantial basis. With but few exbeptions the governors of the respect- ive states and territories have not only acquiesced in_the importance of the ex- position, but have appointed commission- ers where they have had the power todo so, and those who had not will specially call tho attention of the legislature to the un- dertaking, and endeavor to seenre favor- able co-operation. The press of the coast in unanimous in giving conntenance to the affair, ana a constant advocacy distin- guishes overy newspaper. The petitions above referred to were distributed throughout Californis, Oregon, Novada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Mexico, Texas, Washington, Idaho and Montana terri- tories, and the petition in the sggregate will be the largest ever forwarded to Washington upon any subject. The suggestion of forming a joint stock rods running down, one on each side of the brake, 50 as to bring the step within a few inches of the around, a great deal in the position of the step on the front end of a awitch engine. The step is made 80 that it can be turned up out of the way when the car is not in use and is held there by a small catch. The brake- man stands on this step while coupling, and no matter how fast the car may be going he has nothing to do but watch out for his hands, General Superintendent Smith, Superintendent Chalender and a large number of railroad men were pre- sent yesterday when tho trial was made, and it was declared to be a grand suscess in every way. e — A good name at home is a tower of strength abroad.

Meanwhile, I had learned that the na- tives chewed the gum. I concluded that I would begin the manufacture of chow- ing gum. We have built up a large busi- ness, probably the largest of its kind In the world. We call the manufactured article ‘rubber chewing-gum,’ or rather that name was promptly given it us soon as we put it on tho market. Itwon't wear out like spruce or parafiine gum. It tastes like rubber, aud to people who want to chew gum it is just as eatisfacto- ry as any other kind. A great many per- sons chew pum—adults as wellas children.

He fixod his gaze on the window 80 intently that his eyes seemed to pierco the panes and the darkness beyond to seek some far-away object; hiws hands opened and shut nervously. Suddenly the lines about his mouth tightened; he leaned back in his chair, and, turning his face to look up at Walton, uttered the one word, ‘Yes.’ ; ““The banker seemed a little surprised. He evidently did not think his offer would be accepted. Still he was too proud and too gamea man to weaken now. So he walked over to a side table, and, drawing a blank check from his poket-book, filled it in for the amount named, scribbled his name at the bottom, and tossed it over to Sandy with the re- mark: ‘s that all right" “Sandy glanced at it. ‘Al right, I guess,’ he muttered; ‘does it go?’ “‘The banker nodded.

The room was still as death. *‘Sandy gavea quick glance around the ‘gallery’ and then began to pull away the cards from the bottom one by one. He was as white as a ghost, but otherwise betrayed no emotion, nor would any one have supposed that all he had in the world was at stake. “The excitement grew intense as card after card was removed and not a nine nor a face card showed itself. Ten, deuce, cight, four, ace, six— Sandy paused; the card beneath the one he was pulling had a thin layer of color along its edge—it must be a face card; but was ita queen, or only a jack or a king? “Sandy paused, and, taking his hand- kerchief out of his pocket, passed it light- ly over his face, and then replaced it. Again he pressed his fingers against the bhottom card, and, as it slowly yielded, a hoarse voice behind Sandy’s chair called out, “A queen, by —1" “Sandy's faco was the color of ashes, but all ho aid was: ‘T leave for the states in the morn- B¢ “Then he picked up the check, and, folding it up carefully, placed it in an enormous moracco pocket-book. ‘Game's closed for to-night,’ he remarked in an- swer to a question. ‘Cee, boys,let's go to the Bulle of the West, and V1l set up the wine for the crowd.” ‘‘As the crowd filed down the creaking stairway, one very old, white-haired gam. bler whispered to another, loud enough for me to hear: ¢ ‘The slickest I evér see, Mustadone it when he wiped his face on that thar handkercher.”” e —— Nervousness, Nervous Debility, Neuralgia Nervous Shock, 8t.
