Bu the local tailor and clothing merchant have not been so derelict, and be It known, incidentally, that the first-class outfitting establishments for" men have been Just about as busv as the modistes, and have been catering to an equally Tussy and fastidious patronage, for If anyone thinks masculine Portland is not seriously concerned about what It shall wear to the Horse Show, that person Is much mistaken. The manager of a Morrison-street men's outfitting establishment, which handles v. the swaggerest and most exclusive things for masculine adornment, declares that he has been compelled to engage new clerks and Import special orders to meet the dei mands of the early Fall rrade, and that at the Horse Show Portland masculinity will "bloom as the rose," bursting, forth In all the glory of natty new suits, swagi y Ber overcoats of the latest cut, and hats of the very newest block, brim and ma terial. Among the earliest and most In terested patrons of this establishment, . The Oregonian's camera man discovered T'onald Bowles, the "Beau Brummel" of the Baker Stock Company, and pounced upon hlra In the first blush of- his early Autumn glory, cld In his latest pur chases. Herewith Is shown the pictured result. ' No. 1 and No. 3 show the latest thing, and an exclusive novelty. In overcoats. This garment, like the ultra-fashlon-ahlo coats and suitings, 'Is rof .tne new rough tinlsh material, which comes . In brownish and 'dark tan tones. Rough homespun effects will prevail In all mas culine garments throughout the Fall and "Winter. One of the extreme novelties of this coat Is that Its buttons are of large pearl, and that at the front, -the button Is not hidden under a flap, but buttons entirely through- the material, and v through a buttonhole that Is cut vertical ly Instead of on. the horizontal. .This same idea is -carried out- In the ' pocket flaps and In the sleeve finishing. This garment also shows .the new- "patch pocket," of cavernous size and flapless tinlsh, the big pearl button and vertical buttonhole being used at the opening. The cut of the" garment Is in the new loose style, differing radically from the form-fitting garments of last Beason. The fulness falls direct from the shoulder, and the shoulder lines are extremely long, the whole effect being one to bring" Joy to the possessor of the narrowest or flattest of shoulders, to whom It lends a manly and athletic appearance. - That men's fashions, as well as wom- N CITY OF 7,217,839 ESTIMATE IX REPORT OF "THE COUXTV COTJXCIL.

The vital statistics given in the thirteenth annual volume (1906-7) Issued by the Lon don County Council deals with every de partment of the life of the-people. - - To begin with, it is estimated that the population' of Greater London (which in cludes the administrative county, Middle sex, parts "of Surrey, Kent, Essex and Hertford) Is 7.217,9.19; the estimated total of the administrative county (i. e.. the city and the metropolitan boroughs) is 4.758,217.

The coat is bound, not only at pockets and cuffs, but entirely around-' lapels, front and tails, with braid, exactly in the fashion of some 15 years ago.

Only two marriages of girls of 15 are recorded one to a- man of 25 and the other to a bachelor of 80.

Mysterious Escapes and -Free and Easy Clubs Ihow a Revolu tionist Fooled Guards. ' ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. .2. (Special.) "Prisons in Russia are mere inns." say the bureaucrats who are tield responsible for such law and order as exist In Czardom, "Inns in which the guests eat and 'drink more or less according to their tastes, meet together, gam ble, and even conspire. - When they wish to leave they either bribe a Jaijer or blow his brains out." This description seems exaggerated, but it is not altogether untrue. Pris oners possess revolvers, Jimmies, bombs and daggers, and often use them with dire results. The utmost that the Na tionalist Novoe Vremya can say on the subject is. "Thank heaven that the bombs, and- other weapon are. not distributed at the cost of the crown." For years 'Russian prisons were Egyptian rooms of mystery, in which miracles were daily performed. Pris oners managed to receive and stow away In their cells vast quantities of forbidden things. Bedposts were drilled and hollowed, whole window sills re moved, boards of floors carefully taken up, brlcka cooped, out. Ons might rwarofui lines, in marked comxasx vj the snug and rather trying form-fitting and seml-fltting styles that have pre vailed. Among the most attractive of the new novelty garments .are the showings in cravenettes, which are of a new craven- ette material-of the -nobby rougn nnisn, ir o-rtremelv lonss cut. To' the Port land climate this garment has an. especial appeal and the clothing merchants are laying In a generous stocK in anuciyaiiuu. fancy, that the great Mahatma himself had ethorallzed the articles and an fused them in the air. Detection could therefore only 'be the result of chance or treachey. Thus In the Sterlltamak prison, some vears ago. a convict named foooKat sheff hid a live horse, which he had unyoked a short time previously from the cart on which the flour had been conveyed to the prison.' All attempts m find if were fruitless.' At last, at the request of the inspector, Sookat sheff himself undertook - to -"search' for it. He succeeded in "finding" it, its feet tied together in the loft of a two-story house, the door of which was locked with the inspector's own lock. The Jailers, warders and governors of Russian prisons are an . Indulgent race of men, who humor the convicts whenever they can, and sometimes even when they cannot, without injur ing themselves.- Hence clubs, card par tfts and other means of killing time are in vogue in all Russian -places of detention. Most numerous escapes have also during the last few years been effected wUth the active co-operation or the- benevolent connivance of the lailers. Frequently warders receive vety harsh usage from those prison ers who. falling-in attempts at brib ery, manage by the 'help of smuggled arms to'effect a stormy departure. For Instance, a few weeks ago-at Khark off.-a chief inspector was killed, five of his assistants mutilated and ' th prison fired by half a dozen "politi cals" in a hurry to leave the "inn." Recently several revolutionists were .condemned to death on a charge of plotting against the life of the Czar. The time of the execution was draw ing near.' One of- the doomed -men. BinyavBky. the most determined revo lu tlon 1st of them all. was the father of an - Illegitimate child, the mother of which applied to the Advocate Soko loff, begging that he would get per mission for her to marry the con demned man. M. Sokoloff presented a petition without delay, but failed to move .the Metropolitan Archbishop of St. Petersburg. It -was against the canonical law, he remarked, that a person condemned to die should enter the state of matrimony. ine cnurcn, he added. "Joins two persons for life, not for death." Unbaffled, the Advo cate approached the Holy Synod, which at a special meeting the same evening granted the permission and dispensed the bride ana Driaegroom irom con fessing their sins or partaking of holy communion. Therefore, Stnyavsky -was legally Joined In bonds of holy matrl mony with the mother of his child. In the gray of the following morning the bridegroom was In . a world where they neither marry nor are given in marriage. This was how It happened. An accom pllce of Alclnlkoff s from outside had en tered the compartment adjoining the storeroom, bolted the door and quietly sawed through the wooden partition. Keeping a sharp lookout for Alelnlkoff, he walked boldly out the moment the prisoner made his appearance. Alelnlkoff naturally entered the compartment Just vacated, shut and bolted it, passed into the other through tlio hole In the parti tlon, and then qulcklv donned the clothes prepared for him. With the aid of a piece of unf ramed glass he put on a wig, spectacles and a cloak, and then emerged rigged out as an official of the court that was waiting to try him. All St. Peters burg Is shaking Its sides in laughter at the authorities, who are slowly awak ing to consciousness of the fact that In latter-day Russia stone walls do not make prison.- .
