( Special to TUB Buir.J-rSupcrvlsor Stoudcr said today that I work of counting the people and gathering other statistics in this the Second district of Nebraska is progressing satisfactorily , or at least as well as could bo expected during the lint week of the enuuiurntion. Some trouble has been occasioned by reason of uu Insuf- tlclent nuuntlty of certain kinds of blanks having been sent from Washington for dis tribution among the enumerators. For la- stance , only about half u doicn blank sched ules relating to manufacturing statistics wore forwarded for the use of the whole district. At the lust moment uu additional requisition far supplies had to bo sent to Washington. . Stouffer is getting dozomt of letters dally from his enumerators asking for the necessary blanks. The work In ttio ofllco hero is being well systematized and will soon bo running smoothly. The dally reports from the enu merators nro coming In with encouraging regularity. The number of persons listed In a single day by a single enumerator ranges from none to 400. the latter being the roiwrt of a Grand Islaifd man. There nro still two vacancies in the COO districts , but it Is hoped to have those two supplied this week. Thus far but ono complaint has come In In the matter of persons refusing to answer the questions propounded by the enumerators. That ono arrived today. A enumerator , who lives In ono of the western counties , writes to Mr. Stouffer that a cer tain banker In his territory llatly refused to make answer to his Inquiries , and when the 'ixmulty was pointed out the banker declared that the United States could prosecute him If It liked , but he guessed It would cost the gov ernment more before It got through than It would him. This man is In an open state of rebellion , believing , apparently , that ho has certain Inallonablo rights that the other sixty- live millions of ( icoplo are bound to respect.

Tlio Proper Tiling For the Masculine Gentler During t lie Coming Season. Glothlor mid Furnlshor : The Prince Albert coat aeofns to bo coming strong for morning wear In London In n variety of rough faced cloths , The general adoption under these conditions IB apt to bo moro prevalent than ever , for the now material is better adapted to in formal wear than the line brotidoloths und diagonals that liavo boon the rule. D The views of u number of the swell tailors that presage a revival of that dis tingue garment , the single breasted Prince Albert , may bo , under the cir cumstances , received witli un unusual measure of credence. * The Tuxedo coat nmy bo worn in the evening during the summer without the waistcoat. A black surah or satin sash is substituted upon these occasions. A black tie to match is worn with the sash. It is not good form to wear a black silk cravat or sash with the swallowtail coat. A high silk hat must accompany the hist mentioned garment , though with the dress sack coat a black straw nut or derby may bo worn. Nothing in the na ture of negligee wear save tho'sash and undoi ; the conditions mentioned must appear with evening dress. During this interinodinto season of cool weather gloves liavo been worn by the votaries of swnggordom on promenade. The correct walking glove at this season appears to bo an undressed kid of tan shade , with self-colored braid upon the back. During the summer , as at any other time , gloves must bo worn by the mon with o veiling dress. The metal headed oanes seem to tend in their decoration to repousso work in silver or a tracing of the silver in erratic designs upon the natural wood sticks. Some very unique results are obtained by the latter method. A now kink Is to have the buttons of the waistcoat match the shirt studs. A very chaste effect is obtained when white enameled studs are worn in the full dress shirt by having the waistcoat buttons also in a similar white enamel pattern. The gold scar/pin is in comport with the best taste nowadays. In knot or bull designs it is most distinguisho aud ef fective. The midget scarf pins , too , seem to have entirely gone out of fashion. The demand for rain coats has been greatly increased and the artistry of the manufacturers has kept pace with the dressiness of the times. A mackintosh , nowadays , in place of the ungainly wa terproof or sou'wester , is one of the most presentable garments in a man's ward robe. There has been recently put upon the market a now standinp collar , made es pecially to bo worn with full dress. It is but little ever nn inch in height at the back , but rises perceptibly higher in front. Tlio style is straight up , the ends almost mooting In front. The introduction of the turndown col lar with full dross will be moro general this coming summer , Tlio negligee in- llux and inlltienco will create a more marked feeling for comfort in warm weather and although the standup collar is pra-ominontljr on roglo for full dross , there will bo many that will yield a point in style for the solace that the turndown collar will impart. o IjesHon'H Dnugtitor. On Saturday , nt Paris , Mllo. Fer nanda do Lossops , oldest daughter of the great engineer , was married to her cousin , Counto Ferdinand do Gontaut- JBiron , says the London Standard. The wedding , our correspondent says , was extremely quiet , ana , In consequence of an nnnbiincomont in the papers that it had boon postponed , no crowd gathered about the Nunciature , where the re ligious ceremony was celebrated. Con trary to expectation Queen Isabella was not present , but she was represented by her major dome , the Marquis do Villa Sogunv.
