M I with It a surprising variety

the well-dressed man may select the "wakings" of his

ult and overcont. Itich, elegaut worsteds, handsome cheviots, refined saxonies, In most attractive weaves and l riot of color combinations. Out the latter are far from gaudy; a general tone of quiet and refinement Is everywhere noticeable. As usual, stripes hd diagonals form the principal patterns, but they do not stand out vividly, nor are they broadly contrasting. There are to be seen many Ingenious combinations that give the Impression of small, neat effects, while diagonals and shadow stripes vie with each other for first place. Grays, as usual, are In the lead In all color designs, the lighter shades predominating, while many very pleasing patterns are composed of various combinations of light and dark shades. The choice of men who are never without a dark blue suit has been consulted too ; very dark shades of this standard color are to be bad In any of the fabrics men

tioned. Drowns will be very popular,. In several different shades, and with just a hint of some other color, caused by the Introduction of a single thread rf red, green, blue or purple silk. These make up Into decidedly nobby suits, and will no doubt be accepted by men who never before wore anything but black, blue or gray. The' Influence of the English style of dress Is strongly evident In the styles prepared for the coming season ; without In the least surrendering his independence, the American gentleman appreciates the propriety of dress as adopted by his brother across the pond, for t ho Englishman Insists upon being rroperly and comfortably attired for all occasions, both as to cut of garments and quality of "cloth used' In their making. Of course, the designers have modified the English styles In a manner to suit the marked personality of the American. Another reason for this modification la found in the fact that here in America we have no such leisure class ss In England, -despite demagogic ranting about the "idle rich." Tha American business men lack the opportunity, or the desire, to change their attires as frequently as men who have little else to do; therefore, the clothes , provided for Americans, whether of custom make or "ready-to-wear," are built well, for wear as wall aa looks. During tha coming season the sack or lounge suit will be as popular as ver, and will continue to predominate

largely for business wear. It will be of medium length about 30 Inches moderately form-fitting, a vent In the centre seam, with regulation pockets, with flaps to go In or out. This coat has three buttons, and is cut at a slight angle from the bottom button to the bottom of the garment, with slightly rounded corners. The sleeves will have either real or simulated cuffs with three buttons. The vest, of the same material as the coat, will carry five buttons, and will appear nearly an Inch above the coat opening. The morning coat, or cutaway, as It la better known, is popular with a certain element, especially among professional,

men who do not care to wear the doable-breasted frock the "Prince Albert" during business hours. This coat will also be largely in evidence for afternoon wear. The former habit of appearing in the afternoon, at any sort of function,

no matter how informal, in a sack or

lounge suit, has practically disappeared. It was duo partly to carelessness and partly to want of knowledge as to the demands of propriety.

But the American public is "now so

widely informed as to these things,

that the former excuses no longer exist, and the custom is now a thing of the past Today, a man with social pretensions, even of the humblest, feels entirely out of place unless clad in a cutaway or frock in the social centers of the country, and this is especially true when he is in the company of ladies. In other words, the American now heeds the edicts of fashion, and appears properly accoutered for business and social engagements. For town clothes, certainly the most popular of all is the morning or cutaway coat The correct morning suit for the coming season will be a black or darts gray coat, with w.aistcoat of the same material, and gray trousers with a narrow stripe. If the coat Is of gray, the trousers should match. A narrow strip of black braid, set in of an Inch from the" edge of both coat and waistcoat, forms an attractive and pleasing novelty. The braid la also set on the pocket flaps, the same distance from the edge. The coat has a welted breast pocket. One of the things which makes the morning coat so popular is the fact that it is better suited to the average

man's figure than the frock. The latter are smart on corpulent men ; but when one Is possessed of a good figure, be. much prefers wearing the morning or cutaway coat For semi-formal wear, the doublebreasted frock has not yet been displaced, nor 19 it likely to be for many seasons. In fact, it Is coming into its own again to a greater degree this winter than for several seasons past. Men of middle age and past will wear it more than ever. During the Coronation period this coat and the black silk hat were more in evidence in London than for several years before; the most prominent tailors of the West End, in the English metropolis, predict that they will be fully as popular, if not more so, from now until next spring. For the coming season the morning or cutaway coat will be made to roll, with three buttons, set In closely together. The roll is quite soft to the first button. Only the second button of this coat la designed to button.

The buttons are not silk-covered, but are of bone, black of course. Some of these coats will be shown, especially among the custom trade, with a double-breasted lapel with soft roll ; but this 6tyle will be the exception and not the rule. The sleeves are finished with four buttons close together, and a real cuff; they are cut very narrow, 10 or Inches at the outside, and tehort enough in length to show at least Inch of the starched shirt cuff. The buttons on the sleeve must button through, with 4 worked button-holes. This coat is very waisty, ' or formfitting, and is usually worn buttoned. The tendency to button the waistcoat high has been somewhat modified for the fall season. It must not be cut too high nor too iow, but at a happy medium, and must be in a direct line with the roll of the coat. The waistcoat opening is a moderate V in shape. Five buttons are correct for a coat cut not too long, and the last button of the waistcoat should never

be buttoned. There is positively no excuse for a chain hole. Trousers will be a little more on the order of the pegged top for the coming season. They should taper nicely to the bottom, and care should be taken to see that the back of the trousers come within an inch of the ground. They should not bag nor bulge over the front of the boot, which means that there should be a good slope in the cut Raised side seams of the wide type are fashionable. There is a decided revival of the demand for striped effects in the darker shades for the coming season, as these designs are more adapted for autumn and winter. These new effects are heavier looking than the old style, and, in many instances, there is a very distant double stripe which gives the cloth a most pronounced appearance. The popular shades will be brownr green and gray. The indications are that heavier cloth will be quite fashionable for

overcoats for : the approaching cool weather. Manufacturers are opposed to this return to beaver, but popular demand makes it Imperative that they once more place it on the market The new style of overcoat of the robust order lends Itself to beaver cloth. This coat It is proposed, will be of dark blue, will be long and will , have wide pockets and flaps. The collar and lapels will be bold. A broad band of cloth, not a stripe, without buttons and put on flat will be a feature. This band will not reduce tha size of the waist, which la well defined without being gathered, bnt It give an easy and comfortable appearance tt the coat, which will be made with a cloth collar instead of velvet Thli coat will be entirely correct for anj wear, day or evening. The overcoat for the conservative man will be of very dark Oxford blue, Oxford gray, or of brown. The blue shades will be used largely for Chesterfield and box overcoats, while the gray and brown will be need more tor paddock.

GOTHAM BOYS HELD . FOR SMALL RANSOMS

New York, Sept. 20. Two ten-year old New-York boys who disappeared mysteriously from their Bronx homes two days ago are back with their parents today as the result of a ransom of seventy-five cents which was paid to their kidnapers, members of a gang of older boys of the same aeigaborhooo. - The two- lads were held prisoners in a cave in an undeveloped part of the city a mile from their homes. . . While the police were- scouring the city for the missing youths, two of the captors called at the home of the

parents of one and told his mother that they would find her son for seventy-five cents. She agreed to pay the ransom demanded and was guided to the cave.'

DOCTORS SEE BURNING CANCER CURE. Philadelphia, Sept, 24. Members of the American Electro-Theapeatic Association, which is holding a convention in thi3 ciy, saw an operation for the cure of cancer by an entirely new and thus far successful method. The operation was . performed by Dr. S. Benton Massey, in the American Oncologic' Hospital, and 'was 'followed

with keen interest by thefifty physicians. Dr. Massey's theory is to burn the tissues affected and thus prevent " the spread of -the disease. In order to do this he employs a strong electric current applied to the affected part through steel needles " dippedin"zincl The zinc undergoes - a change when the electric current ia applied, and emits a chemical that destroys .the part to which it is applied. This leaves nothing but a burn to be cured.
