FRENCHMEN’S CLOTHES SHABBY.
While Paris is a fair market for
women to shop. American men are ad-
vised to buy all they need at home
before crossing the ocean, As French
women are probably the best appear-
ing In the universe, certainly their
husbands, brothers and sweethearts
arc the reverse—from a sartorial point
of view. Their clothes are ill-fitting
and of poor quality, their accessories
cheap and effeminate, and their under-
wear is coarse and out of date.

ASSAULTED BY BAND.
MEXICAN BEATEN AND STABBED
BY FIVE MEN.
Lazario Lopez Was Going Home This
Morning at 3 O'clock When He Was
Attacked by Band of Unknown Men
and Knocked Down—Wounds Are
Not Serious.
Lazario Lopez, an employe of Frank
Riley, plumber was assaulted by a
bunch of four or five men at the cor-
ner of Slh and Santa Fe streets at
3 o’clock this morning, and stabbed
in several places. None of the
wounds are serious.
Lopez was taken to the police sta-
tion and Dr. George Brunner dressed
his wounds. There Is one long cut
on the top of his head, another on the
hack of the neck, and an ugly bruise
over one eye.
The wounded man did not have any
Idea of the Identity of the men who
stabbed him, and said he could not
identify any of them. The band jump-
ed at hint from behind tbe corner, and
threw him in the street before he
could make a struggle.
New Style of Sleeping Cars.
On the Shore line of the New York
and Hartford railroad a new style of
sleeping car has been adopted for the
midnight express. It was used for the
first, time Thursday night on the ex-
press leaving the city at. midnight.
Instead of the berths being separat-
ed from the rest, of the car by cur-
tains, each passenger will be able to
obtain a compartment which ap-
proaches In size the average size sin-
gle loom In a hotel, and filled with
toilet conveniences. There will be ten
of these In each compartment with
two berths In each room. The rooms
will open out on a corridor running
the length of the car, and may be tak-
en insuites. Doors open from one
compartment to another so that mem-
bers of the same party will not be
separated.
In the new cars rare woods have
been used. In one apartment She
finishing Is in tigerwood, which re-
sembles the marking of a tiger. In
another a wood from the Philippines
la used, of which the experts at Wash-
ington have not yet determined the
origin and -species. Jingue wood.
Spanish mahogany, and Coulbarll are
olher of the unusual finishings which
have been employed to make these
cars luxurious and comfortable.—New
York Times.
