Oddities in Dress the Privilege
^ of Fame Genius # ^
THE S JNNY SOUTH
THIRT> RAGE
David Belasco’s Ministerial Mako-Up.
T is the privilege of the fa-
i!-.ot:s to indulge in dress
vagaries.
Mark Twain, the veter
an humorist, has estab
lished this fact rather
more perfectly cleri&at make-up. The
collar, the black coat and tie. th" coat i
without a seam, and the hat. all mak*. !
him look like some worthy Episcopa- ;
lean dpan or bishop.
John Mitchell, the noted labor leader. 1
has a penchant in the same direction. J
though he never goes to the same ex- |
treme as Belasco. j
Samuel H. Pennypacker. who has just I
yielded up the governorship of Pennsyl- I
vania to Edwin II. Stuart, is one of i
the few northerners in public life who j
still wear top boots, and so proud has ;
he become of them that he always makes j
a strong effort to display them.
Senator Bailey, who has just won his !
light to prove his right to represent I
Texas in the senate, is a. notably bizarre
dresser. He delights in summer time to •
sit in bis sent arrayed in white flannels, j
At one time he declined an invitation i
to dine with President McKinley, be- i
cause to do so would Ivolve donning I
his first full dress siilf. but he has !
•bravely recovered from that absurdity,
and now cuts unite a figure in Wash
ington social events.
KEIFER, TOO.
Congressman J. Warren Keifer. of I
Springfield. Ohio, is undoubtedly tlie i
most picturesque figure in the house. He !
still clings to the old time habit of ;
Continental cut of coat and vest and •
always appear in immaculate evening |
dress. Ills colleagues in congress have [
long since become used to li ! s attire, i
but lie has more than once astonished j
hotel and restaurant guests in Wash- !
ington by appearing tor breakfast dress- !
ed as for an evening dance.

SULLIVAN AND WOODRUFF.
This was in the days before the col

of brilliance, but now John L. Sullivan,
for twelve years champion prize fighter
of the world, and to this day the most
popular boxer who ,-ver pulled on a

the most gorgeous one that Woodruff
ever know. It is a bright green and

so many followers, that lie is now ac
tually making his rig popular.
Not so many years ago Buffalo Bill
was perhaps the only prominent western
man who wore his hair long and clung
to t’ne sombrero of the plains, whether
lie was at Washington, the court of St.
Janies, the Grand Opera. Paris, or on
tiie plains of his Nebrnsko home. His
handsome face, fine goatee and magnifi
cent physique made Ills a most pic
turesque figure, and others have followed
in liis train.
GROVER INDIFFERENT.
Visitors to Prineton have noted the
complete indifference of Grover Cleve
land to what tie may wear. During
one of the Yale-Princeton games played
at Nassau, a reporter from a promi
nent New York paper was told to get
an interview with the former president.
Arrived at the grandstand, tie had point
ed out to him a stout gentleman, dad
in an old homespun suit that didn't look
as if it had cost ten -Solars when new.
The whole outfit was crowned by a tat
tered slouch Hat. Unable to believe that
tiiis was Mr. Cleveland, the reporter,
imagining himself the victim of a jok°,
went away without getting his interview.
But the shabby figure was the Sage
tof Pmceton, the only Democrat in
fi f tv
house. He was mgrely indulging In that
eccentricity of attire which is one of
the perogatives of fame.

of tiiis old man has been acknowledged
by tiie world, and presidents have felt | thrones

AMERICANS TO EAT RICE.
An idea of how profitable the farming
In Texas lias become since the mikado
took a hand in it may be gleaned from
the fact that land which sold from 50
cents to $1.50 an acre in !884 can not
now 'be bought for less than $50 and in
some cases brings as high as $70. The
average of the crop an acre may be
placed at $35, the cost of cultivation $12.
In 1900 the acreage of rice planta
tions was bui 40.000; it jumped to 100.-
000 the following year anj has steadily
Increased since.
In devoting their attentions to rice the
