NEW YORK, Sept. tr-The autumn
dressing for men la governed even more
by rules of country lit than during the
summer months. It may bs that ths mid
ale of September finds back at their desks
the men who were away in Augustr, but
ihero are not many of them who will not
i t .tlnue to spend as much of every week
uut of town as lies between Friday and
Monday. So country dress la as Important
la (hem during the first two months of the
winter as at any other time. Those for
tunate men who spend all their time in sport
find that they have greater opportunities
fur dressing at this season than at any
other season.
The close season for white duck might be
described as beginning with the first of
September. Even for sailing during the au
tumn nays wnue nana is w u wwu w
inure of duck or drill, and even more ap
propriate is dark blue. There Is something
about the white trousers that suggests the
yellow sands and the biasing of summer
and they have been known to send a sym
pathetic chill through a crowd on a Sep
tember day even if the weather were still
warm.
For the Aatumn Kaaetlau.
It rarely happenda that dress at the coun
try clubs or the race meetings or the hunt
breakfasts Is going to be informal enough
to suggest white trousers to anybody. Men
at these autumn functions are rather form
ally dressed when not in riding costume.
A brown cutaway suit, a sack someapun
suit in some shade of gray or light brown,
brown checks of different shades or the
dark brown herringbone stripes ae best
for these occasions, although flannels are
still proper enough If they are sufficiently
dark in color. They are smartest when in
shades of brown or gray.
"I always toll my customers," said one
of the tailors on Fifth avenue who is mak
ing up xome of these mtdseason costumes,
'that blue Is almost as summery a color
for flannel as white. It suggests the sea
irresistibly, and that means the warm days
of midsummer. So the flannel suits that
look best now are in brown with a stripe
of dark prple, green or yellow, warm
gays with dark stripes, blacks with a very
dark gray stripe and similar with the pre
vailing purple or old rose or even vermilllon
that is accounted appopriate for a fall
necktie. It is even pel mlst-lble for men
who do not admit the propriety of colored
socks at any other time to wear rather
blight ones at this season. I realise that
tlio last summer link been a great rebellion
uainrt colored socks on the part of well
dresxed men. Some of my customers even
say that they regard it as bad form for
a mau to wear any but plain, black socks
with low boots, even in the country.. That
may be an extreme view, but It Is a tact
th4 they are no lunger popular. Uut
4t k these neutral fall suits they may be
pardoned. men wear low shoes at
this period of the year, however, since at
lio other time is the cbance to wear gaiters
so good.

very dark homespun, which Is cut in some
what exaggerated style since It Is Intended
only for country wear. I have put flaps
on all the pockets, which I have also made
patch, and turned back a cuff on the
sleeves. These -little peculiarities are harm

gray suits, one cutaway with a dark check
outlined In red and green in almost in
visible threads and the other with a gray
ground so dark as to be almost black,
with a check outlined in lighter gray and
made up in a sack, complete the mid
season toilets of this young man, who
needs at least this number of new fall
suits every year because he goes about
from one of the. hunting meets to another
and keeps at the horse shows until they
have ended for the winter or it has become
cold enough for him to wear winter
clothes. The second sack, suit I did not
finish with the cuffs and the patch pockets
as it Is intended for somewhat more for
mal wear.
Loos Orereoat Needed.
"A loose overcoat la indispensable at
this season and it must have the informal
look of summer garments. I have turned
out several this year In herringbone pat
terns of different kinds. One was a red
dish brown cut to fall straight from the
shoulders with no fly and the buttons
going straight through the front of the
coat. I made up the same modal In gray
and both were finished with a velvet
collar of a shade to contrast with the
goods. Then I edged the pocket flaps with
a piping of the same velvet and put that
about the cuffs, which were turned back
from the bottom of the sleeves. These
coats were only lined about the shouldera
They are Just the thing to wear at a track
or in a motor, although they are not
properly automobile garments. They also
serve excellently for wear to the dinners
and dances that always accompany the
races and meets of the different hunts at
this season of the ' year. There la little
tendency to follow the lines of the figure
in these coats and there is no ornamenta
tion excepting the piping of velvet. One
long vent In the middle of the back la the
simple finish there. The so-called polo
coats made of two blankets are all that a
man may need If he Is going to take part
In the races, as It la warmer than any
other kind and not expensive enough to
make much difference whether It is spoiled
or not. Paddock coats In yellow cloth and
! made with as much elaborateness as if
they were to be worn in tow n are popular
with some men who think that when they
appear with riding clothes on or at a sport
ing event, whether It be in town or the
country, they should wear the right kind
of coat prescribed for such occasions."
The necessary color to complete the fall
costume and overcome Its monotony may
be found in the shirt and tie. The knit
ties in deep magneta blue, red or purple,
a plum, as the new shade which has Just
been put on the market Is called, or eveu
a warm "brown any of these shades is
considered sufficiently decided to add color
to a man's dress In this mid-season. The
university ties with striking contrasts In
stripes, vivid reds, yellows and blues, are
appropriate at this time and add a touch
of sportlness. Flannel shirts are often
worn with the fill suits, although it is
scarcely because the weight is necessary.
There are smart stripes and colors in the
flannel shirtings, which make them at
tractive with the special appropriateness
that comes with the heavier goods for
the fall season even if it be not necessary.
"Some shirts that I made up especially
for wear during this mid-season," said one
of the shirt makers near Madison (square,
"were of a smart design, but are generally
accounted too heavy for summer wear. I
used Oxford cloth in solid blues, pink,
white and gray and made them up with
no pleats but a perfectly plain bosom. But

most to the middle of the back of the
hand. Then In addition to the cuff button
I had two pearl buttons in each corner
of the cuff to catch it down to the sleeve.
The bosoms were, of course, unstlffened,
and the whole effect was for autumn and
for semi-sporting wear very striking, with
out being in the least loud. Then I have
also made up for wear at this season the
pleated bosoms with the same sleeve effect.
In pleating the bosoms, however. It Is not
possible to use the Oxford cloth, which is
too thick."
This Is, of course, the best of all seasons
for tan shoes. Most men wear high shoes,
and the low ones with white duck spats
on the earlier September days are as smart
a kind of footwear as can be put on.
There has come a curious rebellion against
the very broad ribbons that have been af
fected by overdressed young men.
The soft hat Is this year not only to be
seen In green and brown, but it almost
seems as if the Impossible had been ac
complished in devising a hat In other colors
which has some vestige of smartness. The
brown and gray soft hats were always
good style for mid-season wear. Now there
has been a blue felt hat put on the market
which seems certain to have a measured
degree of popularity this autumn. But the
gray and brown are better style perhaps
than any other, and thla year there is still
more informality in their appearance. They
are often not bound as to the brim, they
have narrow brims and there Is absolutely
no law as to the way In which they can be
worn. And he Is going to be dressed
smartly If he picks out a brown hat, how
ever be may wear It!

Corporal Lisle Crabtree, Company B, Sec

onment for life In the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth for the murder of Cap
tain John C. Raymond at Fort Des Moines
In June last.
The sentence has been approved and pro

The trial of Crabtree by general court

At the conclusion of the trial the belief
existed that the sentence would be death.
The opinion held among the army men of
Omaha is that the fight to prove Crabtree
insane had a vital effect In determining his
fate.

European Impressions of a
By Bst. Adolf Hult, Pastor Swedish Xmmanusl Lutheran
VI.
ENICE It Is early Sunday morn-
Vlng. We are gliding softly along
the Grand canal of Venice, re-
cllnlng in the gondola and 11s
,'12 tening to the bells of old St.
SSSaWsj Mark.g ag they chime joyfully in
this most romantic of all the cities of
Europe. The glorious mountains of the
Austrian Semmering are now forgotten.
Even the annoyance of rising early to
catch a train from Triste to the city of
the sea Is over. This is Venice, the water
lily of the Adriatic! I have met people who
said that "they were disappointed In Ven
ice," and I can easily comprehend how a
traveler without Imagination might be so.
The odors of the place are not wafted
forth from clover and rose beds, nor does
every gondolier Blng a Venetian water song,
and venerable St. Marks' cathedral looks
very decrepit, suffering from all the ail
ments of old age. Why, the mosaic floor of
the temple appears as if every stone has
risen up to quarrel with its neighbor.
Scraps of paper lie about here and there,
and the priests show a strange negligence
in their dally ministrations. If you go
about eyeing the equlsite shop windows
you are immediately disturbed in your rap
tures by what might be called a sidewalk
agent of the firm, who asks you to step
inside and skillfully urges a purchase. If
these and a host of other things make
Venice a disappointment to some there are
others who in these very circumstances
find a certain charm, novelty and fresh
ness. There are streets In Venice, but they
are not of boulevard width. To be sure of
your way you must be pretty well at home
In the city, as many a street ends in a
court or empties Into a canal. If you are
a romantio traveler the climax of luxuri
ous romance is certainly an evening prome
nade in the Incomparable square, or piazza,
of St. Mark's, where the band plays and
the refined, genteel Venetians sit at the
cafe tables or move' about on the piazza in
that peculiarly easy and yet dignified Ve
netian manner.
To locate a city on sandbars in the water
was certaluly a bold Idea of the eighth
century founders of Venice. The city sinks
continually. I had no opportunity of asking
If Venice might not be an ideal place for
all who might wish to contract rheumatism
and malaria as antidotes for some other
111. liut I did not see many crippled forms
thfre, though the houses on one or another
side do dip Into the water so that the cel
lars must perpetually be filled.
Words can convey no description of St.
Mark's, that marvelous jewel casket. To
me its aged and timeworn looks added a
beauty that this temple would not other
wise possess. The distinctly Venetian arch
itecture, Ideally seen in the Dodge's palace,
Is perhaps the most elegant style of civic
building that was ever conceived since the
classic days of Greece. The combination
of fairy lightness and grace and strength
is so successful that you stand amazed
before this creation of a people with rich
Imagination, soft fancy and mastery of
real life.
It's truly strange that this city of the
past still la a city of the present, crumbling
every year, yet every year surviving Itself,
thanks to the ever Increasing Influx of
visitors and the romantio location. For
what we call modern progress is entirely
unknown here, except as you look Into
those rich shops that rival the stores of
London, Paris and Lucerne.
An entirely different place is Milan, at
once the Chicago and Pittsburg of Italy.
It lies on the gentle Lombard plains and

has the reputation of being In summer the
hottest place In Italy. The people look
like Chlcagoans, business-like, brisk and
and forceful, and the entire city . speaks
of progress, modern industry, commercial
Ideals, In fact, quite the opposite of ro
mantio old Venice. There is a new Italy
today. With the establishment of the pres
ent kingdom commenced a rejuvenation of
the country. The moldy Ideas that pre
viously prevailed have begun to yield to
modern conceptions of natural, social and
industrial life. The old regime offers stub
born resistance, on the whole without suc
cess. In practical Milan the commercial
and industrial new Italy may be seen to
good advantage. You may dream day
dreams in Venice, but in Milano you "step
lively," as the call of the Chicago street
car conductor puts It. One feels almost as
if the miraculous old cathedral, with its,
perhaps, unsurpassed Interior, were a piece
of beautiful old poetry recited In the din
and strain and stress of a time and a
place with a completely different civil
ization and culture from that evhlch pre
vailed when this great temple was reared
on the often blood-drenched Lombard
plains.
A few hours' ride through many a smoky
tunnel, and the traveler comes to a city
as unlike Milan as Milan is unlike Venice
the city of martyred Savonarola, of the
grand and art-loving Medicis and of a
loveliness that makes it the dearest place
of all Italy, solemn, soulful, sad old Flor
ence. I know not what makes Florence so
beautiful to one's heart, unless it be the
ever-felt, ever-seen figure of Savonarola.
On the square where he was burned in
1498 his medallion meets your eye on the
exact spot of his martyrdom. In San
Marco you see his room, picture and per
sonal mementos. Street boys sell his bust
In bronze everywhere. Post cards In win
dows and with street venders bring the
great soul ever before you. It seemed to
me even as If that most beautiful of all
church bells I have heard, that large,
solemn Campanile bell, that rang one Sat
urday eve at 7 o'clock so that Its tones
will forever haunt me with their eternal
solemnity, should be called the Savonarola
bell. Florence Itself may well be named
the city of Savonarola, for what with its
Plttl and Uffizl galleries and all that, the
sotl of Savonarola makes Florence a city
yoi' wish to linger long In. Its surround
ings are beautiful. The Arno river and its
hills are poetiy Itself.- Yes, and then
Dante, greatest of all Italian bards, was
a Florentine, and Fra Angellco, sweetest
and most angelic of all Italian painters,
enriched Florence with the peaceful rap
tures of his exalted Imagination. As for
modern Florence, things could truly be
much better. When the capital of the new
kingdom was moved in 1K75 from Florence
to Rome, the heart of the city almost
broke from sorrow. Splendid mansions of
the nobility became pensions for travelers.
Many a man went from success to bank
ruptcy. Only in these latter years tia-i
Florence begun to revive. Its cleanliness
misses the mark. Malodorous Italy thrusts
itself on one here in full force. The Inmate
disinclination toward personal neatness of
the lower classes sometimes almost ruins
your soulful raptures in the most soulful
city of all Italy. But all these things
aside one Is Impressed by the seriousness
of the worship In the cathedral, and other
churches, after coining from gay Venice.
The amazingly stern Interior of the ex
ternally showy Duomo Is about as exact
a reproduction of the Florentine mind and
history as can bo found. With all Its
superb art and exquisite refinement, the
Inward life of Florence, at least In its
greatest men, has been distinguished by a
remarkable earnestness. It Is not an ac-

cident that Dante and Savonarola came
from Florence, and that its great Duomo
shows such an appalling simplicity ' and
gloom, but a gloom of Dante-like soulful
ness. If a man had no knowledge of history,
church annals and art, and would come
of a sudden to modern Rome, he would
hardly be forced to the confession of
Byron, "Rome, city of my soul." Truth
to say, Rome of today, superficially viewed,
is a rather tawdry-looking capital. It falls
far short of Its great name. Yet Just as
sure as you know and love history, the
most Interesting place In all the world
to you will be eternal Rome, the city where
classic antiquities and modern civilization
meet In violent contrast. The Irregularity
and haphazard street arrangement In
Rome reminds me of London. Slum dis
tricts creep right up to the walls of St.
Peter's and other public buildings. A
classic ruin may lie behind a tenement
house. A bit of the ancient Serlan wall
crops out In a busy square on the Via
Nazlonale. In one part of the Diocletian
baths you have a stately church and in
another portion a livery and feed barn, In
a third a museum. This almost ugly
commingling of classls ruins and modern,
yes, ultra-modern structures Is the Rome
of today.
It takes a good bit of determination to
overcome the shock which your romantic
Idea of Rome gets on your first arrival
there. Once you master yourself, the true
Rome dawns on you more and more clearly,
till at last you are seized by a tremendous
enthusiasm for the old. mighty city. Then
all Its modern ugliness disappears. In fact,
that begins to form one element of the
magic charm the city has for you. Rome
Is the climax of that strange experience an
ancient city with a complete modern civil
ization and an existence without interrup
tion throughout thousands of years. I
mentioned the Serlan wall. On a corner
near It you have a theater where In the
open wall, or ante-room, a mandolin or
chestra gives little two-penny concerts as
an attraction for the play going on within.
The ladles and gentlemen pay their pen
nies for a seat In the cool summer even
ing. But when their dreamy eyes look
out on the street there Is the hlstorlo wall
of earliest Rome, built long before the re
public, at the time when the city was a
mere town.
Rome throbs with life. Evidences of this
you have everywhere. The stately bank of
Italy, with a capital of 1&0.000.000 lira, Indi
cates that the once impoverished Italian
state has a new lease of life. The
street car system Is a great Im
provement on that In London, to
select one place only for comparison. A
visit to one of the sessions of the Chamber
of Deputies gave me a striking Insight
Into the new wide-awake spirit of new
Italy's political leaders. In ssz animated
discussion on a merchant marine tse name
"America" rang out again and again, as
the speakers drew lessons frem our ex
perience in the problem before the body.
An American citizen may be pardoned If
he Is vain enough to believe that there is
all hope even for a south European coun
try that studies seriously our American In
stitutions, whether for approval or rejec

particular, knows how to appreciate. It

hosts of American travelers In Eurooe to
make their purchases, wherever possible.

learning the advantage of our American
plan of business, though the old Ideas die
hard, as I saw proof of In a Vienna edl-i
torlal where a Paris dry goods merchant
who had grown wealthy in the use of
"fixed prices" and special "sales," was
scored In a furious manner for his Ameri
can business ideals. These latter were In
terpreted as mere chicanery and as a
wholesale bluffing of a gullible Parisian
public. In Rome it appears that things
American are not despised, rather the op
poslte. With Its splendid mayor, Nathan,
who, by the way. Is a Jew, the Italian
capital makes rapid strides forward. Old
quarters come down, new ones rise up In
their stead. Lovers of old Rome fear that
the classic picturesqueness of the city will
soon entirely disappear. There are reasons
for this surmise. The new tenements In
the former Ghetto constitute no ornament
to the Roman capital, even If the cleanli
ness has become a shade better. But Rome
must ever more become the metropolis of
a new Italy and antique sentiments must
yield. At least the classto museums, the
old churches, and the grandest of all
Roman ruins, the Coliseum, will remain to
tell the great past of anolent Rome.
The types of the people In Rome and In
j Venice differ greatly. Our Roman maidens
and matrons have a harder, sterner look
than the elegant ladles of Venloe. The
fact that Rome always was a seat of
world power, or church power, has set
Its stamp on the very countenance of the
Romans. Quite, often you see a woman of
years whose strong face makes you say
to yourself: "There could be a mother of
Cato, or Tiberius, or Gregory VL or Vic
tor Emmanuel." No doubt many a plain
Roman citizen today might traoe his an
cestry back to men of power and influence
in some of Rome's many great periods.
Even the slums reveal forma and faces of
such striking power that you would
Imagine them to be. Indeed, the descendants
of families with lnfluenoe and Importance
in state or church,
Rome Is an enigma. A thinking; crrind
never wearies In the vain attempt to soTve
It. I could do without a second visit to
Vienna, or even Venloe. But Roane, free,
powerful, cruel, hlerarohal Rome of old,
active, youthful Rome of today, would
seem freesh and Interesting, no matter
how often It were visited. Rome la the
world's chief summary of the history of
.all ages.
