and consequently the sack stilt can he
worn all day without offending any of
the dt. tales of good taste.
The sack suit should he worn >-t »<-
pleto of the same cloth, unless a don
blc-hioasted coat be worn, when troi-e-
ers of another pattern can be substi¬
tuted. For the coming season the sin¬
gle-breasted sack will be of the tbree-
button variety, although very tall men
can wear the four-button coat, as an
offset to height. Thirty-one Inches is
the right length for men of average
height-five feet eight inches—the hack
hnuging straight from the shoulders
and slightly fuller at the hips than last
year. H the four-button coat be worn
the vest should be completely covered,
Imt in the three-button style, the coat
should he cut away, ao that one button
of the vest Is visible. The coat should
be shapely at the waist, the shoulders
of natural width, and as square as pos¬
sible without padding. The collor is cut
higher than for summer wear, with
notch widths of 1 3-8 Inches and a roll
aliout six inches long. They will have
single-stitched edges, pocket flaps to go
In or out, find sleeves vented to close
with two buttons.
The double-breasted sack will be
much worn when the cold weather sets
In. It is an inch longer than the sack
and the hack sets the same as in the
suck. The collar will be long, with the
lapels decidedly peaked and in width
three inches. The sleeve will he finish¬
ed with a three-button bent. Either
three or four rows of buttons can he
worn.
Cheviots will la- the most popular ma¬
terial for these suits. Brown, grten
and red blendings, or what is called
“heather mixtures,” are the proper col¬
ors with plaids—the favored pattern. In
the double-breasted sacks solid mixtures
should be worn.
For Afternoon Wear.
The eccentric, bell-shaped frock coat
is a thing of the past. East year the
frock coat wins fulled In at. the waist
with the ends of ihe skirt reaching far
below and flaring out In grotesque style.
For an average man the length of the
’95-’06 frock coat is 18 1-2 inches to the
waist and 21 1-2 Inches from waist to
skirt bottom, Lamb's wool, worsted,
cheviots and vicunas for the coat and
vest and moderately striped woolens or
worsted for the trousers, are the cor¬
rect materials.
The collar will be extremely long,
will meet tlie lapels flush, and will be
about 2 inehes wide at the ends, and a
trifle narrower at the back center. The
lapels will be very decidedly peaked,
will average 2 1-2 inches in width at
the top, 3 IK at the breast, and 2 1-2
at the bottom, will lie evenly spaced for
five buttonholes, and will turn to the
third. The edges will be blind or priek-
stltched; the silk will extend to the but¬
tonholes, and the sleeve finish will he

The vest will be worn double or sin¬

the fancy-colored waistcoats will be
revived, although not coming into gen¬
eral use, and the patterns will be lesH

the present garment. It will be made in
the same material as the frock coat and
will generally close with three buttons.
The absurd dove-tail has been abolished
and the dudes who love to strut about
with the long, hanging tails fluttering in
the breeze will have to select some new
subject for their extravagant devotion.
For the average man the total length
should not exceed 36 inches, and the
skirts should be well rounded to medium
width at the bottom.
Trousers for all suits are also under
the reign of king common sense, The
peg top is a thing of the past, and the
ankle spring will not be tolerated. The
proper width at the knee is nineteen
inehes. and at .the bottom seventeen
inehes. Evening snit trousers should be
half an ineh narrower.
Llttlr Change In Evening Dm«,
There is not much change in the styles
of evening dress. The peaked lapel on
the coat has been restored to favor at
the expense of the shawl roll.
The skirts will not be as
pointed as last year, but the shield ef¬
fect will still be carried out In the vest.
The materials should be of soft finished
and dull-faced goods, glossy cloths hav¬
ing gone out of fashion The waistcoat,
if of the same material as the coat,
should be single-breasted. Waistcoats of
silk or Marseilles can be double-breasted
dosing with three buttons and with a
collor of medium width.
In overcoats the only new thing ia the
KfiHninli mantle which should only be
worn to some festive, function in the
evening. The Spanish mantle takes the
place of the Iverness coat, The latter
iuus fallen into great disfavor. The Span¬
ish mantle can he tightly wrapped
around the bondy. The short Covert coat,
just long enough to cover a sack coat,
will be the popular autumn garment,
while for colder weather the Chesterfield
and surtout will he the correct things.
The usual length of the Chesterfield
should be forty-two inches in length,
hanging fairly close to the figure and
without the exaggerated back tlure of
the box coat.
Importnuce of Fruit Aa Food.
In the Popular Science Monthly, for
September, H. Benjafleld, an Australian
medical man, writing on fruit as food
and medicine, declares that the Creator Is
so anxious that this very necessary food
shad be eaten by tils creature* that he
makes It beautiful to look upon.
sweet and attractive in smell, and gives
to it such varieties ot tlavor that the
most fastidious can be satisfied, And
yet, in spite, of all this, the great mass
of the people look upon fruit as a luxury
upon which they can only spend odd pen¬
nies for the amusement of their cliild-
ren. And as for the amount of drugs
swallowed which should be replaced In
great measure by fruit it is beyond any
power to calculate. Millions upon mil-
lions of money are spent annually upon
mercuri il and odher purgatives, most of
which would be quite unnecessary If the
people would but look upon fruit aa a
necessary article of diet. recommended
Lemon Juice has been as
a specific for rheumatism. Garrod, the
great Jamdon authority on gout, advises
his patients to take oranges, lemon*,
strawberries, grapes, apples, pears, etc.
Tardieu, the great French authority.
maintains that the salts of potash found
so plentiful in fruits are the chief agents
In purifying die blood from those rheu-'
malic and gouty poisons, perhaps in our
unnatural, civilized society, sluggish ac¬
tion of the bowels and liver is responsi¬
ve for more actual misery than any
otner ailment. Headache, indigestion, con¬
stipation, hemmorhoids and a generally
miserable condition are but too often tne
experience of the sufferer, and to over¬
come it about half Ihe drugs in ihe world
are given in all sorts of compounds. ‘the
rhe writer mentioned says: “But
blood is the life;’ poor blood means poor
spirits, poor strength, poor tureath, and
poor circulation. Impure blood means
gout, rheumatism, skin diseases, rickets,
and other troubles. As it is proved that)
fruit will purify and improve the Quality
of the blood. It must follow that fruit
is both food and medicine combined, in

ing them to my patlents in small, but
frequent doses—oranges and baked ap-
pies, tf the other are not obtainable. For

rneumatism, plenty of lemons are mvalua-
lile White girls with miserable, pallia
complexions want a quart of strawberries

bananas, which contain much iron, are
a good substitute. Probably, of all fruits
the apple stands unrivaled for general
purposes in the household; cither raw or
cooked, It can be taken by nearly every¬
body, and It contains similar properties
to the other moire delicate fruits. To
my mind, the pear is more easily digested
than the apple, and for eating uncooked
—
It Is superior to it.”
A favorite argument with the vege-
tarians Is that the strongest, the most
powerful and serviceable animals are
those which subsist wholly on
food. The ox, the horse and the ele
phan-t are examples, They are not only
the most powerful and the most useful as

to the human races in a wild state, it will

are always savage and ferocious, while
those who subsist chiefly on fruits and
vegetables are of a gentler disposition.
Since the body of man is made out of the
foods he eats, it is plain that diet must
have a very great deal to do with hie
health, his physical strength, his mental
and moral qualities. Therefore, without
being converted to any special school of
dietetics. It must be admitted that fruit

The Wheat Crop and Price*.
The Springfield Republican figures up
that the wheat crop in the world tlhls
year will be about 90.000,000 bushels less
than last in Importing countries. That Is.
the exact figures show a shortage of 88,-
806 000 bushels In the importing countries,
and an increase of 16,6X6,000 in the export
ing countries, leaving a shortage for thv
world of 72,190.000 bushels. And yet the
Republican remarks that “wheat in the
Chicago market continues "weak.’ It Is
less than one cent higher than It was
last year at this time, when the price
was attributed to panic influences. The
Republican closes with this:
Those Influences have now passed away,
and with a shorter home crop, and a con¬
siderable world shortage, we hi»ve a
price for wheat not very much above the
extraordinary level of last year. Is 60
cents to become the standard price of
Wheat Instead of one dollar?
That Is not the question, With a con¬
tlnued fall of prices, wheat assurance
has The Republican or any other paper
run In the Interest of the goldttOs that
wheat will he worth 60 cents next year?
What Is to prevent Its continued de¬
cline until we reaeh the Chinese leveT?
There are three factors that make prices.
One Is the amount of legitimate money
In a country; another Is the supply and
demand, and the third i* the capacity of
the people to buy. Prices have been
scaled down 00 per cent, in twenty years.
They are still falling. In the meantime
the wheat of foreign countries is increas-
Ing. The faellltlre foir transporting are
likewise increasing. The gold which reg¬
ulates prices has nearly all grav+tftted to
the few money centres, and the people in

SEA-SERPENT
CAUGHT.
HE DRIFTS ASHORE AT BLACK.
WELL’S ISLAND.
CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE THAT
THE CREATURES DO EXIST.
Her* la a Chance (or Scientists to
Examine Thin Momfer.
__J HK night watch on Blackwell’s
Island turned out last evening,
and, according to their account,
captured a sea serpent after a
j hard battle. He was evidently sailing
through East River,
making a Short cut from Long Is¬
land Sound, where he has been playing
to crowded houses, to the New Jersey
•oast resorts, which he was to take in
as part of his summer circuit. Owing no
doubt to his attention being distracted
by the many odd sights and sounds in
the river, he allowed himself to run
aground. Ther. the guards at Black-
veil’s Island attacked him and dragged
him ashore.
A great difference of opinion exists
■ i s to the circumstances of the capture.
But the one grand fact remains that
the sea serpent, or one of them, is
caught; that is, if the opinion of the
medical staff on Blackwell’s Island is
final as to sea serpents. Er. George T.
Stew tart, chief of staff of the Metro
politau Hospital on the Island, made
tiie following important statement last
T jglit: i t
to the identity of the beast can only
tie had by a careful autopsy, but 1
have little doubt that it is a gentine
sea serpent. At any rate, it is a good
• nough sea serpent for me.’’
It may be remarked that a sea ser-
ent that proves satisfactory to a man
r science like Dr. Stewart should not
be cavilled at by the genera! public or
by any unauthorized layman.
Wie Ihe Critter Alive?
The great debate among the residents
«f the Island Is as to whether the sea
si rpeut was alive when he was discov¬
ered. Some of those who arrived early
on the scene say that he fought des¬
perately for his life and had to be sub¬
dued with night-sticks. Other experts
say that he had been dead at least a
week, and supported their claim with
their noses, but those who ask credit
for catching the animal say that sea
serpents always have a strong, fishlike
odor even when alive.
The Blackwell’s Island sea serpent is
twenty-five feet long and has a short
>iead and a short tail His captors saw
very little difference between his shape
.iud that of an ordinary rattlesnake.
He has large, sharp teeth, they assert,
and with these made violent attempts
to bite them.
i ] le sea serpent betrayed his presence
t() one of ^ Island guards, so they say,
^ ^ Qf (li „ reBS whi>n , le fouud
himself aground. At first he tried to
climb off the reeff, but finding this im¬
possible began to yell vigorously. The
night guard who found him said that the
cry sounded like one of pain from a big
dog. He thought at one? that a prisoner
had been injured in making his escape,
and was helpless. Then he went down
to the water’s edge, and to his horror he
aa w the green, slimy eyes of the awful
creature looking into his with rage and
hate.
Hie Heard Bloody; Hla Hair on End.
“He was snapping his teeth and
foaming at Ihe mouth,” sanl the keeper.
“Jlis heard was entered aith blood ami
his hair was standing on end. I didn’t
dare to go near hint till 1 had summon¬
ed some other men. We attacked him
in -t body and lie died almost without
a struggle. So soon did his death occur
that some of the men who wiere jealous
of our bravery say that he. was dead
when we tackled him. But that’s all
nonsense. lie was terribly alive, and
hungry, too, I should judge, by the
way in which he snapped at us.”
Before the body was turned over
sc me of the keepers thought he had
four legs. This.could not he so, how¬
ever. If lie had legs he would have
walked out into the deep water when
lie got stranded.
Whether this is the same sea serpent
that has been seen so often in the
Sound lately, is not now plain. It is
generally believed by sea-serpent ex¬
perts that there must be a school of
the monsters in the Sound, as so many
have been see;.
Of course no one can tell positively
where this creature, stranded on Black
well’s Island, came from. Perhaps there
is in truth a school of them in the
Sound and the waters about New York
Oity. Perhaps this monster which land¬
ed last night at Blackwell’s Island is
the very one about which The World
received last evening the following spe-
c'al despatch:
New London. Conn.. July 30.—The sen
serpent was evidently informed that the
New Y'ork Yacht Club would bo here
today, and he promptly put in an ap¬
pearance last evening in the lower har¬
bor. He was seen disporting himself
in true serpent style—performing his
ablutions when seen by four of the citi¬
zens of this town. In a letter to the
public press these men give the follow
ing written testimony, to wlhioh they
are willing to make oath, viz:
“The nndersigni'd four men were out
in a rowboat Monday night when they
came across the sea serpent. It rose
astern of their boat and. to their con¬
sternation. made for them. It seemed
at first just a piece of seaweed, but
when it raised its head and part of its
body seven or eight feet out of the
water they got out of rhe way as quick¬
ly as possible. When it sank into the
water it made a noise that was some¬
thing like the sound of a whistle.
tSignedl Henry Maynard. Jule Petrie,
F. Saville. T. Ingram.
July 28. 1895."
Captain Hazard of the Sound steam
er New Hampshire, saw the serpent
late on the night of July 16. When the
New Hampshire vtas about twelve miles
east of New Haven the captain heard
a great splashing in the water. He
turned the search light upon the place,
and saw a huge brown object low in
die water moving eastward. It seemed
to be about seventy feet long, and it
was alive, A foamy wake marked its
track after it had passed. These are
facts to which Captain Hazard will
swear.
There Ia Farther Evidence.
Captain Williams, of the steamer Con¬
necticut, reports seeing his snakeship
about au hour after Captain Hazard
passed it. Several Christian Endeav-
orers on board the Lowell will stUear
that they too saw the sea serpent.
Farmer Slackwvll, living ten miles to
the westward, was astonished one morn-
of late by a tremendous waterspout. He
climbed up his haystack, took an ob¬
servation and found the water commo¬
tion was caused by a huge sea monster,
which he believes to have been the sea
serpent.
One of the most curious and Interest¬
ing accounts of the sea serpent comes
from an elderly New Londoner who
owns a small yacht on which he sleeps.
The yacht was anchored not far from
New London last week. One night,
just as the owner had finished a letter
to his wife, he heard a strange shriek
from out the waters like the scratching
of a slate pencil upon a slate, only of
gigantic magnitude of clamor. He
rushed up on deck and saw two huge
red lights approaching him. At first
he thought it was a steamboat approach¬
ing him, and he shouted through Ills
cupped hands, “Keep off—you'll run me
down.”
Another hideous shriek was the an
swer, and there arose out of the water
What looked to the yacht owner like an
enormous corkscrew with a grinning
head on it.
An accurate account of the monster s
appearance comes from Miss Alauetta
Pennywick, a dressmaker of Poquou-
nock, who has just returned from a va-
cation near Greenwich, Conn, Wliile
out walking on the shore, she saw the
serpent rise from the water about fifty
yards distant. He was about fifty yards
long and of some shiny, dark brown ma¬
terial not unlike satin in appearance.
He tapered away at the other end,
where his skin fitted him with thee xact-
where his skin fitted him with the «?xact
wick estimates that the serpent’s collar
measure would be about ninety-six
inehes, his bust measures 168, and his
waist measure 132. He made no noise,
but swam rapidly away, with his body
half out of water.
Better than all the evidences in the
forgoing dispatch as to the existence
of sea serpents is the thing itself, which
lay last night on the shore of Black
well’s Island. The doctors are deeply
interested in it both because of what
it is and the queer incidents that at¬
tended its discovery.
Here is a description which one ot
them gave of the odd monster-
“The animal stretched out on the
grass was fully twenty-five feet long
and had much the appearance of a land
snake. He had an enormous head and
vicious mouth, with two rows of teeth
in each jaw. The body was larger in
the middle tapering to either end and
covered with mottled black and brown
scales. It was at least a foot thick
at the largest part, and at two points
between the head and tail there were
queer fin-like protuberances that gave
the beast a real sea serpent appearance.
The eyes were large and brown, and
the head over the eyes was divided into
two bony hillocks.
•'When drawn out of the water there
was a thick rope about three feet long,
shredded at the ends and adjusted in a
slip-noose, just hack of the monster's
head. It looked as if the beast bad
been caught in this noose, but had bit¬
ten the rope holding it, and then slowly
strangled to death.”
"We don’t know what It is or What
it’s sex is,’’ said Dr. Stewart, when a
World artist was sketching the mon¬
ster last night, “but we have christened
it -Trilby.’ We have a good many freaks
here, but I thiuk this is the greatest one
of all.”—New York World.
Better Let Benedict Go.
Mr. E. C. Benedict, a wealthy yacht
owner, who has gained a certain position
in the public eye through his intimacy
with President Cleveland, -announces that
unless the Democratic party comes out
squarely for the retirement of the green¬
backs he will vote against It and trans¬
fer his support to the party which shall
make the declaration. That is a terrible
threat. It reminds us of a story told re¬
garding Hoby, the fashionable and fa-
mous London bootmaker. A little ensign
came into Hoby’s shop one day and pomp¬
ously announced that he intended to with¬
draw his custom, whereupon the great
bootmaker called out to hie foreman: “Put
up the shuttere, John. Ensign So and
So lias withdrawn hts custom, and it’s no
use keeping open any longer.” Mr.
We advise the Democrats to let
Benedict go. His adhesion may have more
value than we are disposed to attach to
it, but no man is indispensable, and,
whatever his favor may be worth, it
would be far better for the Democratic
party to do without it than to incur the
hostility of the business community uy
another blind and abortive crusade against
the greenbacks. A renewal of the eg'ta¬
il on which did so much harm and caused
such widespread apprehensions of finan¬
cial disturbance in the closing session
of the Fifty-third Congress is the very
last thii.g that should be undertaken in
the present delicate condition of the cur¬
rency. Benedicts
We sincerely trust that Mr.
bumptious declaration is not to be taken
as indicating an intention on President
Cleveland’s part to repeat rhe experiment
of currency tinkering, which ended so
disastrously last winter. We are not dis¬
posed to put such an interpretation upon
It. Mr. Benedict himself disclaims the
idea. He says that it Is only his own opin¬
ion that he gives, and that Mr. Cleveland s
vijws are unknown to him. His personal
opinion would not seem to be based upon
any very profound study of the matter,
for be asserts that sound money men will
stand together to wipe out the green¬
backs.
Such an assertion betrays a ludrierous
ignorance of popular sentiment on the
greenback question, especially in the Re¬
publican party, John Sherman is a pretty
good sample, of a sound money man. and

foundly respected by the husiress r. ori 1
