LONDON TAILORS.

"The best that can be said of the
clothes Imported by American men
from London is that they are well
made," said Nelson It. Huntington, of
New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study of tbe hospitals, to a Phil
adelphia North American man. "They
never fit. Indeed, the art of misfit
seems to be carefully studied. The gar
ments of both men and women never set
well, and even the actresses, who are
supposed to be exacting, suffer from
the inability or Indisposition of the
Knglish tailors to fit the figure. The
finish, however, shows fine and thor
ough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits, but the work is
atrocious, making tbe best garments
look cheap and hurried. Kot even im
portant buttons are secure. merican
tailors nnd dressmakers surpass every
thing in Europe in making a fit, and the
finish compares favorably with the Eng
lish, the New lorkers who import
garments made by Poole and other
fashionable London tailors had them
refitted by American tailors until a year
or two ago, when the latter refused to
touch them at any price."

Imatratea the True Prlnelales
of Freedom.
Boston docs not develop its character
through the medium of its aristocracy
alone, writes Margaret Allston in La
dies' Home Journal. It is the most
democrntic city in America, it not in the
world. It is both the cradle and nurse
of independence. Evidences of these
truths were set forth in the costumes of
the feminine mass in evidence at the
first symphony rehearsal I attended.
All of fashionable Boston was present,
and still the audience did not look fash
ionable from a metropolitan stand
point. There were so many women!
If you could hear the plaint of that ex
clamation you would understand at
once how oppressive in its preponder
ance is the femininity of Boston. "Wom
an" is stamped on every inch of Massa
chusetts ground. (There can be even
too much of a good thing.) She is as
inevitable aa the seasons. She is more
difficult to escape than the Mormon eye,
She inculcates and illustrates the prin
ciples of freedom all the way from her
emancipation creed to the shape of her
waist and the length of her stride when
she walks.

William C. Buhrman, ohlef Mrsooaff
of tills story, was a very rloh man at Oa
time of his death about a year ago, near
the village of Bayaide, in Long- Islaaa.
He had four sons, three of whom were)
given large fortunes by their fataere)
will. To the fourth child ha left ooJsy,
the atone throws in his boyhood.
Mr. Bubrman was a man whobeUevaar
In economv, for all bis riches. Hlnee
the year 1888 the little general tore,
feed emporium and the. grist mill bo
side it have flourished. They were UA
Mr. Buhrman by his father, himself a
rich man. The aoa took up the thread
of business life where his father left
it and continued famously. He loaned
money to the farmers and took mort
gages on their farms. In tnose aya
farming on Long Island waa a paying
enterprise. The railroads bad not then
put western commodities into oompo
tioa with those of the east, to the detri
ment of the latter.
Itich men went there to make their
summer homes, and they are there to
day. Mr. Buhrman never became am
bitious away from home. He worked
nay, he slaved at his business morning
aud night, and brought up his sons to
do Ukewise. One of these, however, re
belled against the vigorous regime of .
life set by the father. There waa a bit
ter quarrel between Mr. Buhrman on
his son one day. In the heat of it the
young man so far forgot himself aa to
pick up a big- rock and heave it at the
old gentleman's head. Then he went
away.
The man of gray hairs said nothing.
He simply picked up the rock he had
skillfully dodged, tied it in a bandanna,
handkerchief and tucked it high in his
safe among the bonds, deeds, railroad
stock and mortgages. Once in awhile
he would take it out and examine it,
saying to himself: "I shall leave mf
three sons $100,000 each. This son shall
get what he intended for me this
chunk of granite." He kept his word. :
In all the years that followed the)
father never forgot or forgave. The
stone stayed with his riches and on
his death waa sent back to the son who
had threatened him with it, the other
children receiving about $100,000 eaelu
Nearly that amoitnt waa found in the
old man's safe in ready caah. The n
mainder of the fortune was in lands,
taken on foreclosed mortgages; rail
road stocks bought at hundreds and
now worth thousands; city and coun
try real estate, two lots and granaries,.'
bnnk stock and electric trolley shares
all of it was given to the three both.
For a time the sons were apparently
happy. They built beautiful summer
homes near their poor old native dwell
ing andi spent their winters gayly in
New York. But remorse was gnawing
nt their hearts. They were not happy.
Mood Is thicker than water and the
stone which the old man treasured in
his just and righteous rage was nothing
to them.
They sent for the erring brother. He
did not come. Finally they went to
him, finding him in poverty, but de
fiant and sekf-reliant still. Be had
served a very hard penance for the one
rash deed of his life and the brothers
realized it. -
They offered to divide equally wit- -him
to make him a colegatee with,
themselves. Lawyers were brought
Into the matter and quietly, without
any blowing of trumpets, the three bla;
hearted, manly fellows opened their
purses and put their flesh and blood on
his feet for life..
So the old man's vengeance came to
an ineffective ending. Chicago Chron

There is a new Turkish regulation re
quiring Jews arriving at Y&fa to leave)
the country again in 30 or 90 days, K
they come as visitors. There is no pro
vision, however, as to how these people
are to be made to return. As the Turks
do not accept the word of the immi
grants on landing, a system of money
pledges has been resorted to. This may
be called "fine," "tax,'.' . "deposit,"
"backshish," "bail" or "pledge." It is
a money guarantee that the parties will
carry out the requirement of the Turk
ish government. Unless they pay the
guaranty the immigrants have great
trouble in landing. In many cases the '
consul is appealed to, and rather than
see them starve or sent hack to the
steamer, which would probably not re
ceive them again, he gives his word as
security that they will leave the coun
try at the expiration of the time speci
fied. Kespeetable American Jews, go
ing there as bona fide travelers, en
counter no more trouble than do Chris
tian travelers. It is the immigrant class
