Norfolk News. SPRING STYLES FOR MEN. Two radical changes in the cut of men's clothes are in prospect this spring and summer; the shoulders of coats will bo built out square and broad, and the trousers will approach the "peg top' shape. The new materials are ''home spun' a wool cloth of uncertain pattern and coarse weave, in all the shades of yellow and yellow brown, bristling with light-colored hairlike particles, the par ticular use of which is not certain. Black worsteds, with hair line stripes from 34 to i inch apart, will be made into cutaway coats and trousers and waistcoats to match. Scotch cheviots in a great variety of patterns will be more popular than ever, and some of them run to very decided patterns distin guished by large green checks and green checks and green lines. The homespuns have even got into ready mace clothing, but it is not a practicable or desirable material for the one suit man. .Men who can afford several summer suits can risk a homespun in their ward robes. Blue and black cheviots will be deservedly popular as always. The one button cutaway frock suit will be popular with business men who are broad of girth . The materials most favored will be cheviots and tweeds in grays, blacks and blues. The trousers will be full in the leg and narrow at the ankle, to the delight of men with small, narrow feet, and the despair of those with broad, flat extremities. The three button business cutaway will be a stylish garment for men whose business does not entail much hardship on their clothes. They will be made in plaids and stripes. The edges will be double stitched and wide pocket flaps will be placed over the hips. A tailor in this town has made several suits for Lent in this fashion of plaids so indefin able as te be almost unnoticed. On one of the coats he has dispensed with the pocket flaps, making the garment some what trimmer. The three button cutaway for after noon wear will be generally worn . It will be made of thibets, rough faced cheviots or vicuna. The trousers will be of fancy cheviots in generouB stripes. The long frock coat will be slightly shorter and fit a trifle snugger to the lines of the figure. The double breasted sack suit will be a favorite for spring wear. No fancy or fashion seems to be able to drive out the double breasted coat, so becoming to slender men of good height. Fancy trousers will go with this coat and vest. The coat will not be so long as here tofore, and the shoulders will be very broad.and square. The covert top coat is in again in full force and is liberally stitched everywhere around the skirt, around the sleeves and around the collar. And the seams will be strapped. The average length will he thirty-three or thirty-four inches and the coat will be half box in style. The covert coat is the proper coat to drive in. It ma be well to notice that it will be a sad breach of fashion to allow the end; of the tail of undercoat to show beneath it. Th, conservatively swell man will wear the Chesterfield, which will be not shorter than forty inches for the average man. Fancy cheviot will be the material. The edges will be single stitched and will extend to the edges. The pocket flaps of the Chesterfield will be worn outside and the lees the pockets are used the belter for the appearance of the garment. The average width of trousers will be nineteen inches at the knee and seven teen at the bottom, quite a radical change, although the style has been gradually drifting that way. It will be good news to know that creases in the trousers-are commended by the best English ana American authorities. The crease is a great saver of the appearance of the trousers and freshens a worn gar ment as nothing else will do. The pointed toe in shoes will still be worn, although it has given place in point or ultra style to the round too. Tan shoes will be worn universally and the most popular will probably be the red shoe, of which one sees more than any other in the shop windows. LEECHES IN LINCOLN Significant. WE INFER.

MILLER & PAINE. It is somewhat significant that the two congressmen from Nebraska, Uainer and Mercer, who received good commit tee appointments from Tom Reed, should be the only Nebraska congress men who are working tho "favorite son" racket in Nebraska. The other con gressmen are in favor of McKinley ex cept Kem, and he is not in favor of any thing. Auburn Post.
