Shirt Waists Are Not Safe if the Windows Are Open. Mrs. Kate Pettit, who presides over tho wardrobes of tho Uhrig's Cave singers, wore a long and thoughtful look last night. Sho was wondering how she was to get homo without her shirt waist. Mrs. Pettit has the masculine habit of taking off her superfluous garments when she goes to worlc Last evening, as every one knows, the .'.tmosphere was humid, and nil the city perspired. So Mrs. Pettit di vested herself of her bhirt waist. She hung it on a peg in her room, which Is on the Locust street side. The peg was near the window and the window was wide open. About 9 o'clock, far in the aistance were heard the songs and shouts of a very convivial party, whose members had a bugle with them. Ihey were coming down Locu street. Mrs. Pettit heard them as they were op posite her window and looked toward it. Imagine her consternation to see a largo whip lllrt in the window and curl about her t-hirt waist and disappear with the g.irment as it was Jerked out. A derisive yell of laughter burst from tho men as they whirled down the street waving the waist. They were still waving when Mia Pettit saw them vanish in the distance. c Tbc Ilnlf Cent.

New York Furnishers Pay Xtnv Dress for Men Needs Revision Is Too Much Like Under clothing at Present. itEi'rm.ic srnciAi. Camden. N. J.. Aug. 13 This city has taUen tho lead In recognizing the snlrt waist man. and to-daj the whole cltj is in shirtsleeves, including the police force and Mavor Cooper B. Mitch. Supreme Court Justice Garrison started the Innovation, which was followed by a shirt-waist banquet. Then the Reverend Doctor J. T. Stevtnson preached a s-ermon from the pulpit of the First PreMij ten.in Church in his shirt sleeves, and invited the male members to tike off their coats About 100 accepted his invitation, and then the pastor gave them a plain talk on rational dress, regardless, of place. But the greater surprise of all came to day when the entire police force appeared on the streets without their coats and with their badges pinned on sh't-tt?. tint, if they were not uniform, were at least neat and clean, and the men looked cool Hid com fort, ible. The polite also wore straw hats and showed their anpreciation of the de parture from the legulation uniforms by giving tlnce cheers for Major Hatch, whtn liN orders wore made known to them by Chief of Police Foster. The prelimln.irj orders were issued bv the Chief ves-terdav. but not until this morning did nil the men take advantage of the Mnvor's permission. When the morn ing squid reported .sterda Chief Foster walked out of his office wearing an immac ulate s-hirt waist of white cambric, with his gold badge gleaming from the front. There was a murmur of surprise that was quickly subdued when the Chief began to speak. "I am authorized by the Mav or." he said, "to say that ou can hereafter appear without coats until the weather moderates I will eMVct jou to wenr clean shirts of proper design and jou may also wear straw hats." livery man in the squad shed his coat at once and to-day this city sets the pace for the country with a shirt-waist police force. The men had some trouble at first in disposing of their weapons, but they soon grew accustomed to the change and now sav thev never knew how heavy and hot thoir blouses were. Major Hatch is sincere In advocating the shirt waist and set the example by ap pealing on the str ets wearing a white silk shirt, white duck trousers, white belt, white canvas shoes and a white panama straw hat. SIIOLI.D III" linVIPKD. BY MARTIN GRLEN. KEFUm.IC SPECIAL New York, Aug. 13 The shirt waist mar tvr had small excuse to-day for getting lilm0clf ejected from restaurants and beaches, and this gave him a chance to consider whether he is really designed upon the right lines. "Is the summer shirt waist, as worn by man, suitable for an outside garment? Is it not ically too much In the line of under wear? A reporter who suggested to many dealers In men's furnishings to-dav that It is "up to them" to designate a shirt waist th it won't be just slmplj shirt sleeves or under wear, but a garment suitable to be worn without a co it, admitted that there was a good deal in this view. "Next season some genius will put on the market a man'b shirt waist that won't be a shirt," said tho manager of Bradford Tripler, gentlemen's furnisher, in the Potter building. "It will contain the pockets or be decorated with ruffles or something, and perhaps have dliterent kinds of sleeves, to take away from It the shirt sleeves re proach. Sonic XevT feugrgeitlon. "The shirt waist for men for 1901 must have several pockets, for the shirt waist man must have somewhere to put his knife, his cigars, his kejs and the other things that a man carries around with him. No shirt waist girl will go around with a shirt waist man unless he has bome place In which to store his purse. "Perhaps the shirt waist that some Edi son of the cuff counter will Invent and m.ike popular will be a compromise between a shirt and a coat. It must have tkirts that tuck in the trousers, like the present bhlrt waist, and perhaps there will be some thing in the wjj of trills or something to conceal the union of shirt and trousers." One shirt dealer bUggested that the waist be cut something like a policeman's tunic with big coat buttons to remove the bhlrt effect, and with no cuffs. He thought the present patterns, which are purely of the Bhirt style, must be sup planted by somber colors, black or brown, or the shades used for summer cloth suits. Another suggestion was the shirt on the form of the Norfolk jacket, with pleats running up and down, and a belt made of tho same stuff as the shirt. Fat Men Oiimonc fclilrt "Walnt. Objection In bulk to the shirt-waist man comes from men gilted with more than their share of too solid flesh. The fat man is tho shirt-waist man's deadly eneinj. This fact was surprising to investigators who discovered it, but calm, analytical consid eration shows It to bo but natural. The reason that the fat man expresses aversion to the male shirt waibt is becauso it is not becoming to him. As long as tho fat man keeps on his coat his troubles are concealed, as It were. He mav, by judi cious and continued mopping, keep his face irom resemniing uie exterior surface of a Mexican water bag, but once his shirt Is revealed well, it attracts attention. The best field for observation of the fat man In a shirt waist Is Madison Square Garden during a prize light. A casual study of tho heavy, coatless persons at such an affair is convincing evidence that the fat man. In opposing the shirt waist, is a per son of rare discrimination and good taste. Itccd and llunnn. ARiiinxt It. Tom Reed, for instance, is not a shirt waist man. He has refused to talk for publication about it, but it is said that he remarked to a friend recently: "Ihls shirt waist business is positively immodest, even If the shirts are clean. Men have no ex cuse for invading public places without proper, conventional clothing." Mark Hanna works in his shirt sleeves in his ollice, but he would as soon think of going to church In a bathing suit as of going into a public place without his coat. Ho was talking to a friend the other day about the shirt-waist habit. Said he: "The original shirt-waist man Is the tug boat deck hand on the Grea't Lakes. He has been frequenting the dinner table at tired In a pair of trousers and a shirt as long as I can remember." Alderman Jim Cronln of St. Louis, on of the fittest men in the Mississippi Val ley, was met on Broadway wearing an overcoat. He is a deadly enemy to tho shirt waist. Bugene O'Rourke, the actor. Is a fat man who can wear a shirt waist grace fully, but he views the future with alarm. "The next thing," he said, "the man whose feet hurt him will be promenading In his socks, and from the sock man it is only a step to the pajama man. After that tho Lord only knows what's to be come of those of us that try to be in the fashion." WANTS SHIRT WAIST INDORSED. Delegate Albright Promises to In troduce Resolution. Jealous of the coatless officials and clerks in the City Hall, and particularly of the Board of Public Improvements, at whose besslons members appear at pleasure minus coats. Delegate Albright has drafted a res olution indorslrg the shirt waist, and prom isee to Introduce the measure this afternoon in the House. "For quite a while," stated Mr. Albright, "I have been thinking of requesting the House to officially approve of the shirt waist. Lnst Friday evening nine members took off their coats before ffraakejr Murrell called order, and I expect all of them to vote In favor of my resolution." A humorous phase of the bhlrt-walst fad that may occasion borne merriment among votaries of the new fashion was cre.ited vesterd.ij afternoon by a friend of Dele gate "Jim" Cronln. A well-known h iberdasher tclephonixl Mr. Cronln. informing him that a shirt waibt had been ordered for him. Mr. Cronln was tpeechless with surprise, but he Instructed the haberdasher to finish the garment. If possible, before this afternoon, in order that it might do service at the meeting of tho House. "This is no Josh, joitng man." said Cro nln. hanging up tho receiver. "If that shirt waist is finished I'll wear It in the House of Delegates. If it Isn't nady I'll go to the meeting In my shirt sleeves, and 1 want to see somebody try to m.iko me put my coat O'J " Mr. Albright's resolution.

The dispatch of General LInevltch, commander of the Rus sian troops in the Province of Pe-Chi-LI, to the Russian Minister of War, General Kouropatkine, describing the capture of Pci-T.sang and Yang-Tsun, has been pub lished here, but adds little to the details already known. General Linevitch estimates that the Chinese at Pcl-Tsanz were 25,000 strong. He says their left flank was mined and provided with bomb proofs. Their hur ried flight prevented them from destroy ing a bridge of boats, and this enabled the allies to capture the whole camp, including thirteen guns.

Wants to Raise a Filipino Regi ment to Serve in China. Washington, Aug. 13. Copies of Manila papers received at the War Department contain a letter purporting to be from a personal friend of Aguinaldo, which states that the Filipino chief does not take ad vantage of the amnesty proclamation be causo some time ago he gave orders to his followers to breakup into guerrilla bands. Tho amnesty order excepts those who vio lated the laws of war. and It state that Aguinaldo fers that he would be in the excepted class should he undertake to sur render under the amnesty proclamation. The letter is dated at Iliac-Xo-Bato. which is said to be the present provisional head quarters of Aguinaldo. It state-, however, that Aguinaldo never spends more than ono night in a place, and only a few- hours in any ono location. He allows no one to come near him, except hH most intimate personal friends.
