DUDES WHO WEAR STAYS.

"'P9S

There is in one of the corset manufactories of New York a little blond-haired woman who has for many years made a specialty of men's corsets, and has established an extensive business in a western city, says the New York Sun. She had a man trained to take the measure and, fit the corsets, and frequently she or her forewoman never Baw the customers for whom they made corsets regularly. It is a paying business, for men rarely question the price of an article they wish to purchase, and men's corsets are always made to order and never kept in stock. A woman the Bhape of a tub and a woman the shape of a broomstick will buy the same make of corsets in different sizes, and somehow fit herself into them but if a man wants a corset at all, he wants it to fit, and the cheapest one made to order cost $10. They do not differ materially from a woman's corset in construction, being made of the same material, only with heavier bones and stronger steels. They differ very materially in shape, however, being shorter and nearly straight up and down, though the constant wearing of corsets conduces to added fullness of chest, which compensates for the 'pretty bust curve and slope to a woman's waiBt. They are usually made of gray sateen or coutil, but occasionally a very fastidious customer is found who orders the daintiest of materials and decorations.

One of the lady's customers always wore satin corsets of a delicate color, flossed and laced with Bilk. He was very stout, and broke a great many of the silk laces, which a woman will wear almost a year without breaking. One of his latest orders is a Nile^green satin corset flossed and laced with cardinal silk, and trimmed at the top and bottom with fine white lace, for which he paid $25 with no demur.

Another customer was so extremely modest that he never went into the store, but his wife took his measure and ordered the corsets, fitting them on herself when they were finished. It requires three visits to insure a perfect fitting corset—one for the measure, which is taken very carefully one for the fitting, when only half the bones are in and the steels basted in place, and one for the final examination when everything is finished. After one per-fectly-fitting corset has been made, however, only one fitting is required.

Corsets are worn most by actors, the fit of whose garments furnish at present a large proportion of their stock in trade. Then there are clerks who sit bending over desks all day and half the night, to whom- corsets are frequetly recommended by their, physicians as a help toward straightening their curved spines men who from some injury or physical imperfection are obliged to wear them, and a fair percentage of dudes who rejoice in a small waist and a smooth fitting coat. An ambitious cutter in one of the swell establish ments, where a suit of clothes may be purchased for the price of a brown stone block, has an idea of winning an heiress for his wife at some popular summer resort where he spends his vacations, and accordingly arrays himself in all the elegance the establishment affords, hooks himself into a double 2sa. viiooi lie ^IllOplCU illB corset he buckled a broad belt of heavy leather about his body at the waist, but as he grew stout this expediency lost its efficacy.

A man's corsets are as readily detected by his fellow-men ae the faintest touch of rouge on a woman's face iB alway's discovered by her sister woman. Gentlemen Bay that a man in corsets goes upstairB like a woman and walks differently, and that if you observe him closely for a few minutes he will give a little peculiar hiteh to his shoulders, as if he were endeavoring to pull himself up out of the corsets. It was by watching Berry Wall mount a flight of stairs that it was fully determined that he was laced into a snuggly-fitting corset. His wife ac companied him, and they made the same motions in the ascent. Both the king dude and his roly-poly little chum wore corsets regularly on important occasions. It was at Mme. Griswald's, on Broadway, that the pink-haired dude returned a pair of baby blue satin corsets trimmed with lace, after they had been fitted three times to have them made a half an inch smaller, and his anxious perplexity was very amusing to the mischievous merry maiden who fitted them oa. It is no secret that Osmond Tearle wore cor sets, and that Kyrle Bellew wears them still. The noble Anthony has them made in ljondon in a little shop on Conduit street. They are not trimmed with pink lace or embellished with embroidery, which is the only surprising thing about them, but they are deliriously small and very short, not more than six or eight inches up and down.

In the same shop the duke of Beau fort has the pink satin, lace-edged corsets, which he makes no secret of wearing, manufactured and embroidered with his monogram, surmounted by a ducal coronet. He is an old, decrepit man, with a wrinkled yellow face and a fringe of white whiskers, and so bent over with age that the line of his corsets is plainly discernible through his dress coat. It is said that the prince of Wales affect9 them, too, and that is why he has abandoned horseback riding. Corsets are worn quite extensively by men in Paris, and all the handsome offioers in the German army wear corsets under their uniforms.

Though corsets are worn by men in New York, it is extremely difficult to find out where they are made. There is no special manufactory for them, and, though most of the first-class corset places receive orders for them occasionally, they are very reticent on the subject, for any publicity given to the fact would destroy the business altogether. There is one bright woman corset-maker on Fourteenth street who advertises to make a specialty of men's corsets, and receives a great many orders, which she fills Bimply by taking women's corsets of large size and removing the gores in the bust and taking out some of the fullness at the hips. Merchant tailors would hail with delight the general use of corsets, as they would render the fitting of garments much easier, and enable them to keep smooth and in shape much longer. It is the stout men who take to them moet kindly and who suffer most in wearing them, and it is hinted that two of the handsomest "areescoat actors" in New York resort to their use on the stage. Watch the man who never leans back comfortably in his chair, whose coat does not pull in lines at every button or gradually work up toward his shoulders, and whose chest is unusually round and full, and if he seems at intervals to be pulling himself up out of his garments by the shoulders and goes up stairs with an inflexible back, you may safely infer that he iB iaced into a pair of $10 stays, though he wouldn't admit it any sooner than a

woman would own her shoes were too tight. "A man caree more about hie shape than a woman," said a oorvet-maker, "and will resort to more stringent and uncomfortable measures to improve hie figure. A stout woman will walk a mile for two or three days and stop eating candy for a whole week to reduce her fleeh, but a man will submit to the most wearisome processes for the same purpose and keep up his effort for as many months as his trainer recommends. Place a glass at the left of any public stairway and four men to one woman will turn to look in it, and from these premises may be drawn the double conclusion that men are more vain than women, and that were the stigma of femininity removed from oorset wearing, and the custom adopted by fashion leaders, men would fall in line very readily. There is no more reason why they shouldn't suffer in them than that women should be laced mto_ them simply because they look more trim and shapely. In 1838 and 1840 corsets were worn by men, and the fashion might be revived if a few leaders as courageous as the apostles of dress suit reform would introduce the practice."

HOW IT CAN BE DONE.

Deputy Auditor Coon Shows That the State "Can Pull Through."

Peputy State Auditor Coons, looking responsible, sat in the little enclosure where he does Indiana's figuring, when a News reporter called at the auditor's office this morning. ".Will the state be able to 'pull through,' "the deputy auditor was asked by a News reporter. "Here, I'll show you something," he replied, and in his fine Mecklenburg hand, he wrote the following figures that are warranted not to lie: Insane Hospital... ^'999 Insane Hospital (Logansport) fc5,000 Dea! and Dumb Institute.— 85.000 Blind Institute.. jW»0 Reform Schoil for Boys «,000 Female Beformatory........ Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home... 72.000 Feeble-Minded Youths..... 8§,U» Repairs of institutions

Total otJhvS Interest on state debt 37u,uuu

Total ""^l'Sm'nno State revenue W" Balance 870,000

"That's just how it stands," remarked the deputy auditor when he had finished making the figures. "The sum of $370,000 will be left, after paying the expenses pf the institutions and the interest on the state's debt, for incidental expenses, salaries of judges and state officers, state house expenses, and other items. It's enough. But, of course, outstanding warrants and special appropriations cannot be paid."

The embarrassment over the failure of the loan bill is already being widely felt by the state institutions. The ordinary expenses might be met if the auditors figures were complete, but the biggest bills are extraordinary. Some of the institutions had procured plans and had begun work under the provisions of the appropriations made forjjimprovemente. These have been brought to a summary stand by the developments. It is proposed by some of those who will suffer most by the failure to procure money, to join in a petition to the governor to call an extra session. They cite the fact that Governor WiliA^seeejou. att^f _Jilflt bers of both houses to adjourn at the end of thirteen days. That eeasion was called to procure a passage of the state house bill. It is held that Governor Hovey could secure a similar pledge that no legislation except that agreed upon would be transacted, and that the business in hand be dispatched within ten days

The Wheat Crop of the State.

Secretary Heron, of the state board of agriculture, took advantage of the recent meeting of the board in this city to get the statements of its members as to the condition of wheat in their respective neighborhoods. As these members are practical farmers and their observations cover nearly every section of the state, the report is a valuable one. Taking 100 as the standard for first-class condition, Gibson county was reported at 100, with 20 per cent, less acreage Harrison, 95 Monroe, 95 Jefferson, 100: Bartholomew, 100 Henry, 90 Johnson, 85 Parke, 90 Montgomery, 80 Huntington, 100 Tippecanoe, 85 Wabash, S5, with 15 per cent, less acreage Fulton, 85 La Porte, 108 DeKalb, 80 Shelby, 85 Grant, 60 St. Joseph, 100. In all cases where a change in the acreage is not noted, the area planted was given as up to the average of last year, and the result show that the prQspects for a good crop are encouraging.

Women Inaugurate a Crusade.

A crusade against wine-rooms and the exhibition of nude pictures of women, suoh as are used in advertising theatrical companies, as well as those shown in cigar and news stands, has been begun by the Woman's christian temperance union, of Indianapolis.

to

arrangements completed by the centennial committee, to-day, President Harrison will come to Elizabeth direct from Washington. He will arrive at Elizabeth at about 8 a. m. Monday, April 29th. This plan, of course, does away with the roposed receptions at Philadelphia and Drenton. The president will breakfast with Governor Green, of New Jersey, at Elizabeth. At 11 a. m. he will be at Elizabethport, where the New York committee will receive him. Other Washington officials will arrive shortly after the president. After the literary exercises at the subtreasury the president will be driven to the reviewing stand opposite the Fifth Avenue hotel. Other guests of the committee will get there by a special train on the Third Avenue elevated road. The army committee find they will have to .provide sustenance for 8,000 Pennsylvania troops while here, the legislature of that state having failed to make an appropriation for the purpose.

"WILL WATCH OU* 80LDIKB&

Representative* of F«ni(i at the Oemlif Centennial

April

5.—It

may not have

occurred to many military men of this country that the ooming centennial celebration will affonl an opportunity which foreign war departments intend to eagerly seize. From well informed circles it has been learned that offioers of the army and navy of England, Germany, France, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain and even from Japan, Chili and other South Amerioap states, will be in New York during the celebration with no other object in view than to examine closely the military and naval forces which will be mobilized on that day. With the possible exception of the representation at Philadelphia in 1876, the New York centennial parade will include in its ranks more different state organizations than have ever been gathered together in the United States. The granii parade ot the army of the Potomac Shermans army in Washington, at ty close of the war, was undoubtedly the largest number of soldiers matshaled in one column in this country. But it must be remembered that they came from one grand section of the oountty. The mobilization for the centennial celebration will bring together national guardsmen from nearly every state in the .union..

As to the naval ahowitffc .there will be represented all the vessels of the North Atlantic aquadron, to say nothing ot the presence of many of our former "prides of the navy" pressed into service to carry the naval forces doing duty at the training station, at the torpedo station and at the navy yardB. The military attaches of foreign governments stationed in this country have had very few opportunities to witness great masses of UnitedStates troops in column. The foreign military attaches recognize and will note accurately every point of excellence and every defect. It is seldom that military troops are able to present a showing wholly void of defect, because they lack experience. There is something ia the every-day swing of the sword, the toss of the musket, the carriage of the body, that gives the regular soldier an easy, graceful and businesslike air. The same cannot be expected of militia troops, no more than can a landsman, .unaccustomed to the rope, be expected to run out on the yardarm with the agility of an able seaman. The military man leaves his work bench, his office, his deekr perhaps, and dona the regulation state dress, musters and falls •into line. He is unaccustomed to daily "setting up drill," and if he handles his musket once a week he is doing exceptionally well. Give the militia man three months training such aa a regular gets and he will be the same man that is the opinion of a regular army office.

A naval representation of theforoea will be regular men-of-wars men, aince there is no naval reserve. Nothing need be feared regarding the showing of our tars, for they have made their name respected throughout the world. As to the vessels, there will be several fine crafts, among them the Boston, Chicago and Atlantic, certainly. The military regulation of the country have in them no provisions touching military spies of foreign governments during peace time. In France, Germany and Russia the custom is to convey to the frontier any officer detected in the act of making military maps or drawings of forts and

.4$SU[S«L •BV&SLGsssm

with spy work. It will not have a depressing effect on military organizations to know that their doings on the day of the review in this city will be chronicled in the war departments of more than one European government within a fortnight afterward.

Despite the prophecy that Mr. Cleveland would sink into obscurity as soon as he left the White house he has just been appointed a commissioner of the High Bridge park in New York at a salary of $4 per day.

April 1 the Western union telegraph company reduced its rates from offices in Indiana to those in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Norlh Carolina, South Carolina and Minnesota from 60 to 50 cents and to Colorado and New Brunswick from 70 to 60 cents. Millers and porkpackers will be especially benefitted by the reduction on rates to Southern points. There is no competition in the Southern states.
