About
CLOTHING
Do you know thut there in a vast difference
in the make up, lilting, sewing and general
finish of clothing. ,
There is the "made to sell" kind, pretty
patterns, gaudy linings, but there 'h no atinfuc
tion in the wear; it is made in a hurry by
underpaid labor; just "made to wll."
t Then there's the "made to wear" kind, pro
perly Hhrunk, plain but strong linings, the
"vitals," or inside puddings, properly adjusted1
sewed with silk, made by nkilh'd labor and sold
on honor.
The "made to wear" kind ert m little more
than tin ,"inude to sell" kind, but, dour nic, it
is ever so much better.
We soil the mude to wear kind.

NEW YORK. April t-Tbera Is lit
tle faith among the Boer sympathizer
trere that peace is imminent in South
Africa, says a Tribune correspondent
from The Hague.
Hearts are hardened In consequence
of the conference held here and at
Utrecht, and the Boer enyovs and
rofuges are asserting In a louder key
than ever that the war will last four
years longer and that there can be no
peace without Independence. The cred
ulity of the burghers In South Africa
Is matched by the assumption uf their
agents here that their deliverance Is
coming from England' foreign com
plications when there Is not a clond
In the sky.
When the three Boer commisloners
were sent to Ameriacn It was assum
ed that a good case would be made
out for an investigation of the mill
tary conduct of the war and the ship
ment of supplies of horses and mules
from toe United States would be pro
hibited. These fllusions were dispell
ed when, the- delegates returned, but
a new fiction has been supplies. . Tbe
Boer advocates are asserting that Eng
land is fatally embarrassed by her at
llance with Japan and certainly will
be drawn into a war of tremendous
magnitude hi the Far East The Boer
sympathisers are correctly justifying
sn indefinite continuance of the guer
rilla warfare, and forecasting the ul
tlmate triumph of the cause of inde
pendence whne British troops cannot

says, Is at New Orleans awaiting In

Coolnel Crowder has already briefly
inquired Into conditions at Chulmette.
He has found, says the Tribune's cor
espondent that the Port Chalmetta
railroad pe;p1e claim to have full con
trol of the land occupied by the pens
and stable.
Colunel . Crowder Investigated the
court records pcrtalnin to the suit
brought by General Pearson in a re
cent effort toi prevent the sailing of

the objections. It is found that near

By Committee.
WASHINGTON. April g The agita
tion In favor of changing the date of
inauguration of the president from the
fourth o March to the Utter jirt of
April, received an Impetus at the
meeting , of the. national committee
having the proposition under coasld
era tion., The change lots been advo
cated mUnly owing tth Iftclemency
of the weather of early March.
Host of .the governor of the states
end territories accepted service on the
committee and the letter reeived from
them generally showed a desire for a
change In the Inauguration date.
It was agreed that the chairman
shuld appoint an eeutive committee
and such other committees as might
be necessary. It was resolved as the
sense of the committee that the date
of the inauguration day should be
changed from the 4th of March to the
hast Thursday of April, but that no
particular bill or resolution should be
advocated. Incidentally, the question
of the extension of the terra of con
gress was considered and it was agreed
that this committee had nothing to do
with the question of when congress
should adjourn. The proposition to fix
the SOth day of April was considered
but received on support because It was
felt that1 was better to name a day
of the week, rather than a day cf the
month; a day that would come always
In the middle of the week, so as to
avoid Sunday. Thw' committee was
unanimously in favor of the last
Thursday of April.

was listened to with closest attention
and was Interrupted by loud and con
tinued applause.
The president said ' In part: '11

But It had one thoroughly good
effect; It put a cap on the structiir

almost uneon-K'ious of It. and It Ulight
us how thoroughly one we were. When
we got through that war It did not
make a bit of difference whatever It
was, an admiral from Vermont or a

had done his duty in such a shape
as to make us each feel thrill of
pride in our common nationality."
