There have been several changes In evenIng -
Ing clothes thin winter , the most notlccablo
being a slight shortening of the skirts of the
coat. Early in the season there was an at
tempt to Introduce velvet collars , but It did
not meet with the approval anticipated by
the tailors , and the experiment may be
regarded as a failure. The coat continue * ,

Km I n Bilk , and the buttons to bo covered
v/lth silk lasting.
There Is nomethlng qulto new In the collar
of the Tuxedo , wlilch , as overjbody knows ,
is a kind of glorified sack coat for Informal
evening wear. This coat has heretofore been
tnado only with a rolling collar , but thla
nInter many men are wearing Tuxedos with
notched collars similar to those on full-drew
coats , though the graceful rolling collar still
continues to be the favorite. The only pocke *

in this coat is on the inside , opened by a
perpendicular silt in the lining.
The waistcoat and tie worii with the
Tuxedo must always b black , tbe former
of the regulation evening cut , and the latter
* narrow strip of blaok satin , no other tie
feeing permissible. The old controversy as
to whether a tall hat should be worn with a
Tuxedo 1ms finally been settled in the af
firmative , for whll * the Tuxedo Is certainly
a sack coat , still it IB not the kind of sack
coat with which the wearing of a tall hat Is
prohibited. Tboro has also been some dis
agreement as to the occasions on which one
day properly wear a Tuxedo , and it maybe
bo well to answer that question now : A
Tuxedo coat may properly be worn at the
theater , at a dinner party where there are ' '
no women present , In the evening at home , : [
and at ono's club. |
The ( ashton of putting a cord or braid
down the outside seam of tbe leg of evening
"trousers is gradually dying out , though the
ctripe Is still worn by some military men
and a few actors. There has been no very
recent change in either the length or cut
of the trousers. Those worn with evening
drcoB chould never have pockets at the
eldcs. Most men have none at all , except
a tiny watch pocket ; but if ono Insists on
having them , the openings should be ctn
diagonally Juet below the waistband.
KvonlnicVnlntcontn. .
The latest evening waistcoats have only
three buttons , instead of four , and they are
preferably doublo-breaeted , though a few
elnglo-breofitod ones are seen. But If a white
vest is worn it should always be doublo-
brcasted and fastened by plain pearl hut-
tons. The finest evening vesta are now
lined throughout , back and front , with
white satin , and have- four pockets , two in
the usual place near the bottom and two
emallor ones high up near the armholcs.
These pockets are mere silts and have no
flips. Last year there waa an attempt to
Introduce flaps on these pockets , but the
Innovation did not meet with approval and
was finally abandoned.
The favorite materials for evening dress
ere whipcord and vicuna cloth , the latter
being a very soft material with a rough ,
woolly surface. Broadcloth for evening
wear IB quite out of date , except for old
men and clergymen. An effort has been
made to Introduce the custom , which is
teadlly gaining ground In London , of wear
ing evening clothes mode of dark gray
whipcord , but so far the attempt has not
met with success in this country. Inverness
overcoats of this gray material are , how
ever , made to be worn with black evening
clothes , though the black Inverness is pre
ferred by most men.
The various accessories which go to make
tip the ovonlng attire of a "well dressed man
are of great Importance. The shoes should
always be of patent leather and laced. Sharp
pointed toes are no longer worn.
Gloves should be whlto with barely per
ceptible white stitching on the back , tbe
broad stitching eeen on evening gloves a
year or two ago being entirely out of fash
ion. Pearl gray gloves are barely permissi
ble , but are not looked upon with favor
by careful dressers. The handkerchief car
ried should be of the Quest linen , with a
very narrow hemstitched border.

front or with slightly bent corners , la the
correct thing for full dress. The corners
of the cuffs should bo square , not rounded ,
the latter ahapo being considered In bad
taste.
The tie for full dress should be of lawn ,
very narrow and square at the ends , those
with pointed ends being out of date. The
well-dressed nun never under any circum
stances wears a ready mode up evening tie ,
always tlclag the bow himself. In selecting
a tie one should take care to get ono of the
proper length , as the loops and ends when
tied should be short. It Is very Important
that the tlo should be held firmly down In
front , and there are several devices for
effecting this , the best of them being a
little thing In gold wire , curved so as to slip
under the collar button , and having at each
end a sharp hook which catches Into the tie
and holds It securely In place.
The favorite evening shirt Is open part
way down both back and front , the shirts
opening all the way down not being gen
erally satisfactory , because In laundering
they are apt to become stretched on ono
sldo so that the stud holes will not meet
properly.
The studs should bo very small ones of
tiny pearls or plain gold. Either two or
three studs may bo worn , according to the
preference of iho wearer. TUo cuffs must
bo fastened with links , which should also
beery small and plain ; and no other
Jewelry of any kind , neither watch chain
nor fob , should ever bo worn with evening
dress.
GOSSIP ABOUT NOTED 1'HOI'LK.
Some time ngo a well known Irishman
was dining with Lord Hampden , governor
ef New South Wales. Wishing to pay a
compliment to his host the Irishman com
mented upon the fact that his excellency's
family had nil been true to the cause of
Ireland , with one exception. "Wo Irish
never could forgive that brother of yours
who sided with Calne for the Unionists In
the great division of 1886. We used to call
him the Brand of Calne. " "Ah ! " observed
the governor , good-humoredly , "I was that
brother ! "
( federal Baron nappe , Sweden's minister
of war , is a very absent-minded man. Being
summoned recently by King Oscar to a
cabinet council the general dressed in full
uniform , as IB required for such occasions ,
but leaving his apartments in a hurry at
the last moment put on a high silk hat ,
which Is part of his civilian dross , Instead of
his military plumed chapcau. The king
laughed heartily when he appeared In this
get-up at the council , but subjected him to
three days' arrest , nevertheless , for the violation
lation of a well established rule.
A. J. Bcverldge , the newly elected senator
from Indiana , was nicknamed "Apple Jack"
by his fellow students In De Pauw uni
versity. It Is said that his first fame as
on orator woa "brought about In a novel way.
It was advertised In an Indiana town that
ex-Governor Bcverldge of Illinois would de
liver n address. When young Beverldge
arrived and eaw the flaming posters he did
not wish to speak , but finally decided to
make the best of It. When the crowd flrst
saw the boy orator they laugh&d , but as he
warmed up their laughter changed to cheers ,
and right there ho made his public reputa
tion as an orator. .Ho has ever since been
In great demand. He IB a young , athletic
man , full of vigor and with a mind of his
own.

tillery was not less than { 20,000,000 a year ,
and the United States received an enormous
sum tor duties on the Walkervllle product ,
while shipments through this country In
bond to Mexico were common. "Tho humble
industry , remarkable sagacity and untiring
energy of the Yankee farmer boy told In
the long run , " eays the Detroit Journal.
"He reared a structure much greater than
ho ever thought. "
In a letter which Robert Buchanan wrote
the other day to John Morley he said : "I have

flces of The Literary Gazette , in Catherine

Broughton D. Harris , who died on tbe 12th
Inst. at Brattleboro , Vt. , was born In Ches
terfield. N. ! ! . , in 1822. In early life ho was
a lawyer and Journalist. President Flllmore
appointed him flrst secretary of the Terri
tory of Utah. Under the leadership of Brigham -
ham Young , governor of Utah , the territorial
legislature disregarded the provisions of tbe
enabling act of congress. This defiance im
pelled Mr. Harris to refuse to disburse the
United States funds committed to bis care
for the benefit of the territory. Aml1
threats of assassination ho refined to obey
the orders of the legislature , which by
resolution required htm to deliver the funds
to the United States marshal of Utah , a

ment which was sought to be executed upon
him , Mr. Harris returned to Washington
and restored to the United States treasury
the money appropriated. In these acts ho

| STORIES ABOUT WIZARD EDISON , '
I His Bool With a New But Very Important Office Boy.
tVt . * _ , - iv. _ A _ A
Not long since a new boy was employed
In the Edison laboratory In Orange , X J. ,
who forced Thomas A , Edison to give an
account of himself. It happened In this
way : The boy nns flrst told nil about the
man for whom ho was to work. Then ho
was told of the traditions of the establish
ment. Ho was told that the main building
contained a piece of every knowu substance
on earth , and that If ho could name any
substance not In the building ho would be
awarded a prize of $2.50. Ho was also told
that his special duty would be to guard the
room In which Mr. Edison worked , It be
ing Important that the Inventor , bo not
disturbed by curiosity seekers or schcmera
who often try to reach him. Then the
boy was placed on guard , full to the brim
of the Importance of his position. Dut ono
serious omission had been made by his in
structor. Ho had not told him what Air.
EdUon looked like. So when , soon after he
took up hla post , the boy was approached by
a portly , shabbily dressed man who at
tempted to push past him , ho grabbed thai
man In such a way that the man stopped
and gazed In astonishment.
"What Is the matter with you , boy" " de
manded the man Indignantly.
"You can't go In there , " retorted the boy
with Just as much spirit.
"Why not ? " said the man.
"Because no one can go In there without
written permission or when Mr. Edison
eends out for him. "
"Oh. I tee , " said the man , and then he
turned on his slippered heel and walked off ,
while the boy looked after the dirty yellow
duster which the man were and said several
things to himself not at all complimentary
of "blokes wet would try to bluff past him. "
Hut the boy was surprl ed about flvo minutes
afterward to see the man In the yellow
duster coming back accompanied by the
"Instructor , " who looked very , very serious ,
and who raid :
"Hoy , don't you knew who this gentle
man Is ? "
"No , " said the boy. "But he didn't hav&
any pass and Mr. Edison wasn't with lilm. "
"Why , this Is Mr. Edison ! " gasped the
Instructor.
The boy collapsed.
"Can I go In ? " asked the Inventor with
a twinkle In his eye. But the boy hung his
\
head , while the instructor started in to
berate him for his mistake. Then Mr. Edi
son turned around and stopped that Instruc
tor on tbe spot , while he at the same time
commended the boy for his vigilance. It
was the fault of the teacher , not of the boy ,
ho said. Nevertheless , the effect of the In
cident on the boy waa such that ho never
could enter itho same room where the in
ventor worked without a visible tremor.
Mr. Kdlson , who is fond of a Joke , sought to
reassure him by winking nt him tremen
dously every time he came In , but that did
not seetn to mead matters. Ono day he
was very sick , and on Investigation showed
that ho had been chewing tobacco. It
nearly killed him , and he resigned his posi
tion In consequence.
"That 'boy , " said the Inventor afterward ,
SIM ON.
"reminded me of the flrst chow of tobacco
I e\or took. I was about as big as ho U , and
with two other little fellows had saved up
a lot of scrap Iron and tin and zinc which
wo meant to sell when the holidays came
around. There was a large boy in the
neighborhood ( I think he must have become
a bunco stcercr afterward ) who know of
our hoard. One day when wo had been In
swimming he came to us and said :
" 'Say , jou fellows , If you \ \ 11 give mo
that tin and iron and stuff you have , I'll
teach i-cu how to chew. '
"Tho proposition struck us as being very
fair , particularly as ho agreed to furnish
the tobacco. Well , wo were quite willing , so
he brought some old Canadian cut down tea
a sand hank by the river. He divided tbe
stuff Into three parts and gave us each
one. Then he said :
" 'Now you must do exactly as I say , and
you must do It right away or you'll never
learn to chew. '
' 'Now then , ' he shouted , 'hold it up. ' "
We held it up. "
' Tut It la your mouth , ' be yelled. "
'We put It In. "
'Chew1 ! he hlised , dramatically. "
'Wo worked away at a great rate. "
' 'Swallow It , ' he screeched. "
'We gulped it down , and then that young
rascal fairly rolled down the bank with
laughter , while wo soon rolled down the
other sldo sicker , I suppose , than any of us
had been la our lives before or since. Ono
of the boys nearly died and they had a
very serious time with him. That was my
flrst cxperlenco with tobacco. "

The other day a woman was traveling
by train with her dog and somehow when
the was leading the train at Udgcwater poor
dogglo was left on the platform by accident ,
while hla mistress was carried on to Chi
cago.
cago.Wo do not know qulto how the dog felt ,
but certainly his mistress was "In a frame
of mind , " and would hae qulto willingly
stopped tbe train at any point so that i > ho
might search for her pet. But trains are
relentless as fate , and every moment only
added to her anxiety until by the time she
pulled Into the station at Chicago she was
qulto ncarlng despair. be Immediately
looked up the station master , to whom she
told her trouble. The station master kindly
telephoned back to Edgewater , and after a
tlmo learned that a dog llko the ono de
scribed by the lady had Just been brought
to the police station. "Would the lady
speak to the dog through the telephone ? "
Of course the lady gladly did so , and when
a policeman placed the receiver to the poor
doggie's ear nnd he heard his mistress' voice
calling him by name , his joy knew no
bounds. Ho barked with delight , and began
to lick affectionately the mysterious means
of communication between himself nnd his
mistress , to whom ho was soon as possible
happily reunited.
\ HIGHEST UOG IV TIIU WORLD.
lie U a Hiipre St. Ilnrnnril ntul Hln
Anmv IN Simon.
There is llttlo doubt that the largest dog
in the world , or perhaps that his over
existed , is now a resident of Chicago. Ho
is a St. Bernard and his name is Simon
Lomond. Simon is not very widely known
outside of his own particular circle of ac
quaintances , as he has never been exhibited
at a bench show. Ho has , however , an ex
ceedingly blue-blooded pedigree , being
eligible to move in the select gatherings of
Chicago's four hundred.
Ho was whelped October 10 , 1S93 , and was
bred by Mr. Ostereltch of Detroit , Mich. , his
sire being Scion Lomond , and his dam Dud
ley Star both immensely large dogs.
To give an Idea of Simon's enormous size
It may be mentioned that from the ground
to a point between the ehouldors he meas
ures thirty-nine Inches ( this Is the standard
way of measuring dogs ) . Throwing aside
the curve over the dog's shoulder he meas
ures thirty-six Inches flat from the point of
the shoulder to the ground. Prom the tip
of his nose to the tip of his tall he meas
ures seven feet seven and one-half Inches.
So It will easily be seen that If the dog-
were to Ho down crosswise on the floor of a
room nnd stretch his forcless forward he
could very handily scratch the base board
on one sldo of the room with hla claws nnd
nt the same 'time ' knock a llttlo dust off
the opposite wall with his tall ; nt least he
could accomplish the feat in a great maoy
flats in Chicago.
His chest measurement ( circumference of
the body Just back of the forelegs ) Is forty-
sit Inches and his loin measurement Is
forty-one inches. Around the skull at the
ears the head measures thirty-two Inches ;
the skull , just over the eyes , measures
twenty-eight inches ; hla muzzle measure
ment is eighteen inches and from occiput
to tip of nose his head is thirteen Inches
long. The head and neck of the dog are
so largo and the hair Is so long and shaggy
that one Is reminded of a lion. The dos's
foot is so large that it would almost co\er
the top of a pint cup. Sitting on his
haunches the dog Is as tall ns a man flvo
feet five Inches in height. When the dog
stands by a table of ordinary height his
back rises several Inches above the top of
the table. His weight ( breeding condition )
Is 210 pounds , but It Is difficult to keep him
so low. He can easily bo made to weigh
240 pounds. His weight is not imaginative ,
but registers it on scales.
Simon is beautifully marked with the
genuine St. Bernard shades. His coat Is
colored with big splotches of whlto and red
dish tan. Oy connoisseurs in dogs this tan
Is called orange. His owner , James S. Mc-
Cullough , who resides at 14 Cicero Court ,
has never yet succeeded In persuading Simon
to answer to his proper name. "Puppy" Is
the caly uamo to which the dog will re
spond.

For ages it has been thought

gotten rid of , and the patient re
