Why These Exemptions?
By the incometax law it is declared
that salaries due to State, county or
municipal officers shall be exempt from
the income tax herein provided. There
are many public functionaries whose
incomes run well over the sum at which
the tax begins, and this clause relieves
them of a burden that falls upon all the
rest of the people.
There are perhaps some good reasons
for this, but we do not see them. Why
should a man be exempt from this tax
because his income is derived from the
treasury of some city rather than from
any other source ? What is the peculi-
arity in political service that thus com-
pletely sets it apart from all other sorts
of service ?

Gettysburg National Park.
The passage by both houses of Con-
gress of the bill creating a National
Military Park of the Gettysburg battle-
field will put an end to all questions of
future jurisdiction and insure the pre
servation of this historic battle-field to
all generations.
The bill authorizes the acquisition of
the battle-field by the United States,
and appropriates $100,000 to provide
for the expense of carrying the act
into effect. Once in the possession of
the United States Government, the field
is ceriain to be kept under intelligent
administration and to be preserved
from the vandalism of trolley compan-
ies and relic hunters.
The bill, which has passed both
houseswithout opposition is one that
will receive the approbation of all
patriotic citizens, and for that reason
is not likely to fall for lack of the
President’s signature.

True Way to Advertise.
“The first rcquisite for the successful
writer of advertisements, is honesty,”
'said George A. Lewis, the “ad.” man.
“Catching phraseology, striking style
in the arrangement of big letter type,
and allthat sort of thing is naturally
advantageous in attracting the attention
of the public, but it must all circle
around a solid pivot of absolute fact.
When the merchant discovers what the
people most need he should get it for
them and tell them all about it in as
pleasing and happy a. way as he can com-
mand, but he must take care not to
mispresent the character of the goods
he has to offer or the prices asked for
them by even so much as a hair’s
breadth. If he does, he might as well
devote the space he pays for to writing
himself down an ass in the biggest let.
ters he can find. There may have been
a time when the leading public could
have been imposed on by flaring adver-
tisements full of misrepresentation, but
it has gone by and no one appreciates it
or applauds it more than reputable
writers of advertisements.”
America’s Poor Showing.
Consul Campbell, at Newcastle on
Tyne, writes to the State Department
that in connection with the discussion
of the present small participation of
the American flag in carrying abroad
American products, it may be of inter-
est to note the experience of that con-
sular district alone during the past
year.
At Newcastle and its agencies at Hart-
lepool, Sunderland and Carlisle, 437
consular bills of health were issued to
foreign vessels bound to the United
States mostly in ballast, and bound to
ports all the way from Boston to Gal.
veston in pursuit of American cargoes.
Of these 402 were British, 35 were under
various continental flags, and 'with the
exception of 11 sailing vessels, all were
steamers, averaging above 2,800 tons
each. During the same period buta
single American vessel, a sailing ship of
1,572 tons, arrived and departed in the
Tyne consular district.

The Evolution of Styles. Fashions Now
Are in the Interest of the Shop Keeper.
, Rough Wools, Braids and Buttons are
Conspicuous. About Under Garments.
“What are the fashions?” is a question
the feminine mind, but “\Vhat is fash-
ion 1’” is a. query ever open to argument,
and as productive of inconclusive answers
as the more vital one, “Is marriage a fail.-
ure?” The wise woman who says that
“fashion is simply force of example exer«
cised in cut and material, rather than
thought and principle,” gives a. pretty
clear solution of the problem. Some one
who, by fate, circumstances, or a peculiar
gift in originating designs, sets himself
up as an authority on dress, and no mat-
ter what manner of exaggerations he
thrusts upon the market of fashions, they
are, With rare exceptions, sure to be ac-
cepted if he finds a few followers to dis.
play them. \Ve rebel a. little at first, but
we gradually become accustomed to any
phase of dress by seeing others wear it
and soon mould our conservative ideas of
outline and harmony of color to agree
with the examples we have before us. To
be sure, we accept things by degrees so
we can deceive ourselves with the belief
that originalltaste is the guiding rule of
dress, but all the same the more unique
and striking the mode presented the more .
i burst is unspariiig in his denunciation-
reaQ we are to develop its advantages.
For example, the evolution of 'the sleeve
to its present proportions has occupied
several years, but‘here it is, the most
conspicuous feature of our gowns, and
we have grown such an admiration for
its possibilities that size seems to be the
one element of beauty in its make up.
.Extended skirts which measure eight
yards around at the bottom meet with
approval despite the fact. that they are
alarmingly suggestive of the much-dread-
ed crinoline, and so we are led on by con-
vincing illustration to almost any ex:
treme in dress which it may suit the
fashion makers to devise. It is too late
to expect any important changes in the
winter fashions, but it is just the time
when great variety in dress is in demand,
and every trifling variation which can be
rung from the theme of the prevailing
mode is sure to be useful. '
Smooth satin-faced cloths and rough
wool materials of medium weight are
used extensively for street gowns, par-
ticularly the rough wool crepons, and
among these is a. novelty called “cameo
crepon.” In wool goods shades of serpent
green trimmed with brown and brown
trimmed with green are favorite combi-
nations. ,
Braiding is coming in again for tailor
made gowns, and the military uniform
patterns, used above narrow bands of
fur, are very effective. .
Buttons of elegant enamel and imita-
tion gems are gaining favor, but they are
chiefly employed for ornament where they
might be useful.
Fine nainsooks, French batiste, and
sheer lawns are the popular materials for
underwear, and China silks are very little
‘used, except for night gowns, which
might be more properly called wrappers,
as they are elaborately trimmed and made
to wear over a nainsook gown. They are
sometimes made with a yoke of alternate
rows of lace insertion and silk, both back
and front; and again the back is tucked
to the waist}, where a short belt confines
the fulness, and to this a. ribbon is at
. tached, which ties in front with' long
ends. A‘ wide berths. of; lace insertion,

METROPOLITAN: Norse.
by the Daily Press of New York.
. The Patriarch’s ball,.'\vh‘i'cli is afiani'i‘ualfi
powwow indulged by New York’s excluo ’-
sive set with aristocratic desires, was
.argel y attended, too much so, in fact, to
be asuccess. A crowd is beastly common,
but when everymember of the society is
privileged to invite a. guest, the daugh-
ters usually have their way and the result
. . _ .is an attendance of a. lot of sissy dud’es
whichis, at least, temporarily settled in .
whom the truly patriarchial papa’s can-
not tolerate. The lines will be more
closely drawn hereafter. A society paper
announces that as the Baroness Fave. was
the leading representative of royalty
present, ‘Vard. McAllister, the President
of the Patriarclis, paid the Baronness
much attention. Giovanni del, Drogo,
who is a. relative of the Infants. ‘Eulalie,
took the Countess de Brazza-to supper.
Sir Roderick Cameron offered his arm to
the Marquise de Talleyrand Perigord.
And yet thisis America. From thechins
up, every woman at the ball might have
stepped from a picture of an early nine-
teenth century belle. All had their hair
brushed back in front and up in the back,
and then piled higher and higher, until
the knot seemed to end in a point.
Those church-steeple coifiures must be
new.
It is not everybody who can go around
among his friends and by a. little persua-
sive argument induce them to form a.
syndicate which will pay out $50,000,000
in gold at the beck of his finger. But
that is just what J ohii Aikman Stewart
did, and, although he is undoubtedly
proud of his success in so deftly manag‘
ing to secure the whole issue of‘governo‘
meiit bonds, he. does not exhibit the
slightest symptom of what is generally
termed the “big head.” '
But, then, John Aikman Ste’wart is
accustomed to deal with immense sums
of money, and while in this regard fam-'
iliarity is'not likely to breed contempt,.it
may bring down to the plane of the or-
dinary what might otherwise be a. man

had been at the head of the Sub-Treasury
in this city, with its gold laden coffers,
for years; if you had directed the affairs
of a great trust company, with its hold’
on untold wealth; had you been accus-'

eventually come to feel that a 'million,
more or less, was not a matter of over-

We are surprised to see that Dr. Park-
of Mr. Thomas C. Platt as a wicked foe
to municipal reform of the kind approved
by the pulpit of the Madison Square
Presbyterian Church. ,
. Brother Platt has been an attendant at
’ that sanctuary exemplary in his punctu.
galitytand diligent as a. listener to the
' spiritual and reformatory teachings and
admonitions of its pastor. He is a Pres—
byterian in his religious proclivities, and.
hence presumably of a severely religious
cast of mind. His choosing the Madison
Square Church as his particular place of
worship in town, and his prominence as
the oCcupant of one of the best pews,
would seem to indicate that he was ediv‘
fied by the outgivings of its pulpit: Not
any of the veteran and stalwart Presbyj
terians sitting about him, the Hon Smith
Ely, Jr., Mr. D. lVillis James, Mr. John
for instance, have been more punctual in
their attendance on the sanctuary, more
earnest in their devotions, or apparently
better satisfied with the spiritual food
offered them by the pastor than Brother
Platt, now scored as an abandoned politi-
cal sinner by Dr. Parkhurst.-—N. Y. Sun.
In spite of the apparent eagerness of
Lord Dunraven to bring about a. race for
the America’s Cup next fall, as matters
stand at present it looks as if the extra-
ordinary concessions de'manded by the
Royal Yacht Squadron wOuld make it
impossible to arrangea contest. The deed
of gift under which the New York Yacht
Club holds the cup is the principle ob~
stacle in the way of an agreement. This
document contains certain provisions
which were inserted for the purpOse Of
enabling the holders of the cup to prepare
themselves to defend its possession. The
English yaclitsmeii object inoststrongly
to the clause compelling them to disclose
the measurements of the boat with which
they propose to race for the cup, the claim
being made that this information gives
the holder of the .up an unusual advan«
tage in building a boat to defend posses-
sion of the trophy. To the lay mind,
however, such a result would seem to be
highly creditable to the skill of the de-
signer of thelAme‘ricau. boat and no hard-
ship whatever to the challenger. "

equipped she must be suppliedwvith a.
varied assortment of the flags of all na—‘
tions. ,'Tlie flag lockers of a cruiser like
the New York will cOutain mOre than two
hundred different designs.’ , 1 . 1
All the flags for our navy are made in
the equipment building at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The floor of the flag room
is covered with lines representing the
exact measurements of. the various en-
signs, and it is no easy matter to turn out
a. flag which will be exactlyaccording-to
pattern, both as to design and measure
ment. There are eight colors used in
flags—red, white, blue, orange, yellow,
green, brown, black and canary yellow.
The canary yellow is used instead of white
in flags used for signalling. This is be?
cause it is found that, when signalling at
a. distance, a white flag or a. device on
a. white ground blends with the horizon
. and becomes almost invisible. The larg-
est American flag made is called No.1.
It measures 34.86 feet in length and 13.12
feet in breadth, and is very rarely used.
The size called Nb. 2, which is consider-
ably smaller, is the one generally used by
war ships. Cruisers carry the Stars and
Stripes in seven different sizes, but only .
the Minneapolis and the Detroit-fly the .
gigantic No. 1 size. .
The most difficult flag to make is that
of'San Salvador. This flag requires all
the colors, and Costa Rica. runs it close,
requiring all but brown. Our own flag is
by no means an easy one to make. The
44 stars in their blue field have to be ac-
curately arranged, and the stripes mathe- I
matically exact according to the official
pattern. Th’esta'rs are made of muslin,
folded .25 times 'and punvchedl.’out by an . i
steel punch. Which cuts a dozen orgmore
stars at each operation. There are used
in the Navy Yard 50,000 yards of bunting
mniially, which is all made iulthc United
States . , '

One day he called at the-store of atail-

emphatic'way—for his conversation was
always highly flavored with the tobasco
of profanity—that he “Wanted a. pair of
breeches. And I want the best stuff'in

The tailor was somewhat bewildered,
but finally showed Langley the moat

“I want it.” said he, “and I waut'it

the trousers were made and delivered.
A friend called on Langley and re;
marked on the trousers in’ uncomplig

Langely said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in the old'rnan offering
to bet $25 that the cloth cost-mere a yard'
than that in his friend’s trousers. The
bet was taken, and the tailor was to de«
cide. He named the price. The“ friend
would not believe that the rough goods
could be so costly' until he was shown'tho

did other men on similar bets. That was
