The Movements of President Arthur
and Party.
They will Reach Mammoth Hot Springs
To-Day and Take the Gars
To-Morrow.
The President Fatigued and General Sheri
dan Unwell.
SOME 0? HATCH'S PARTY ILL.
Special to the Daily Enterprise.
National Hotel, Mammoth Hot
Springs, Aug. 29.— The presidential
party is now camped two miles below
Baronette's bridge, where they ar -
rived last evening, after traveling
from Mud geysers. This is the last
camp of the trip, as the party will ar
rive here to-morrow, the 30th, and
Friday is fixed as the day for taking
the cars. Your correspondent is un
able to ascertain whether any stop
will be made at Livingston or other
towns along the line. It is known,
however, that the president has ac
ceded to the request to lay the corner
stone of the Dakota penitentiary at
Bismarck, and the party may stop
some time for that purpose, especially
as Henry Villard and his party of ce
lebrities, including General Grant and
several members of the cabinet will be
present on the occasion. All the
members of the party are well, ex
cepting General Sheridan, who has
not recovered from his recent illness
at Jackson's Lake. His trouble is
supposed to be mountain fever, and
will probably disappear with a change
of climate. The president is by no
means indisposed, but, though his
cheeks are bronzed and healthylooking,
he looks old and worn and stoops as he
rides. The long journey has evidently
been too fatiguing. The whole party
confess that they will be glad when
they reach here and once more enjoy
the luxury of a civilized bed after
nearly a month of sleeping on the
ground under canvas. A few days
ago Captain Hayes, who was in
charge of the military escort,
was ordered under arrest by Gen.
Sheridan but was released to-day and
is again in charge of his command.
The difficulty was very slight and or
iginated in a disagreement between
the two as 16 whether the pack mules
should be picketed at night Or run
loose. An extra military escort ac
companies the party at a short distance
since the dispatch reached them re
garding the kidnappers who were re
ported to have started from Idaho to
capture the President. While it is
doubtful if anyone puts any confidence
in this report it has been considered
advisable as a matter of precaution to
increase the escort. With soldiers scat
tered around the party in every direc
tion any attempt at kidnapping would
be an absurdity and it is difficult to de
termine for what purpose the story
was started. The party were most
highly interested in the magnificent
scenery at Yellowstone Palls and oan
yon and all felt and said that this was
the crowning glory of the whole trip.
Jack Baronette who has acted as chief
guide for the party through the Park,
has every, reason to feel proud. Pres
ident Arthur has ridden by his side
during the greater part of the trip,
and has listened toBaronette's accounts
with the greatest interest when any of
the natural curiosities were being ex
amined* Sheridan too has high regard
for him as beside having been a west
ern guide during the past nineteen
years he was Gen. Sheridan's guide
through the Park last year. Prepara
tions are being made here at the
hotel for the arrival of the distin
guished party to-morrow.
Rufus Hatch's party are scattered
through the Park, the most of them
being in the upper portion. J. L.
Sage, editor of tne London Telegraph,
returned here to-day seriously ill.
This makes half a dozen members of
the party who are invalids, including
the chief and his manager. [The dis
patch leaves us in doubt as to whether
this refers to Uncle Rufus or not.]
Will send further report to-morrow,
after the presidential party s arrival,
if possible.
OUR UNMENTIONABLES.
When and How Trousers Were First Mad*
and Used by Mankind.
"What did the first trousers look like,
and who wore them?" interposed the
methodical, reporter, going back to the
beginning and getting out his note
book.
"I'm sure I don't know. This I do
know, however," and the tailor pulled
down from tlie shelf a dusty scrap
book. "The first pair of breeches
made in this country were cut of cloth
brought over in the Mayflower by Mrs.
Jane Thompson. They were of English
build, and were what yon might call
side-wheelers, that is, they buttoned to
the shirt at the side—and all around
for that matter, for suspenders were
totally unknown. It was the custom in
those days to allow the trousers to
reach only to the knees on account of
the high price of cloth. The first pair
of full-length pantaloons came from.
Joaquille, ill Paris, and were worn by
Seth Green, a wealthy Boston gentle
man of leisure. This was in the sum
mer of 1894. The fashion spread
rapidly, and dual pride in socks and
well-shaped calves gave way to new
fangled garments. Green carried the
fashion to New York, and thence to
Washington, and Congress shortly east
aside its traditional dignity and cam©
down to "long-cuts," as they were
called. The fever swept ^ over the
States. The pantaloons of those days
were simply cut—two pieces of clotlY
sewed together like bags completed the
picture. They were without shape,
but not void.
"The story runs, by the way, that
breeches originated thus: A certain
wealthy sport of Paris, not being pos
sessed of shapely or presentable calves,
conceived the idea of swathing liis ugly
extremities from the waistband to the
shoe-buckles. Other diss.pated fops,
whose anatomy had likewise been
bunglingly put together, took up the
fashion, and Joaquille, the great tailor,
set the style a-going, never to decline.
I guess the story's true."
"Can you remember the styles that
have prevailed in this country?"
"Let me see—yes, they are all be
fore me in my mind's eye. There were
the breeches of the period immediately
succeeding the Revolution. They were
short, reaching only to the knees, most
ly made of cloth, buttoned at the sides.
The wealthy wore them of velvet, or
corduroy, as the fancy seized them, or
of doe-cloth. The first long pantaloons,
as I have told you, were merely com
fortable bags, and this was principally
due to the fact that they were home
spun—made by willing but unskillful
hands. The first improvement was
when they were so altered in construc
tion as to button elsewhere than at tuo
side. Suspenders were not until com
paratively recent times, somewhere
about 1840, I believe. Distinctive styles
in breeches date from the close of the
war. Then there came the garments
tight at the waist and to the knees,
where they bagged enormously, giving
the appearance of swelled joints. The
pockets were called " top pockets," and
could be reached only by pulling the
vest up to the chin. Later they were
cut high in the waist and medium ia the
legs. This was a return to first princi
ples. The next trousers to achieve
popularity were those miserable
"tights." They fitted the neither extrem
ties like eel skins, and suddely swelled
to awful proportions at the bottom.
They were the invention of a rowdy,
and it was a shame decent people ever
wore them. I'm glad they're gone.
The hip pockets came into fashion
along with the "tights." Young
bloods fain would carry pistols,
and, it being found cumber
bersome to add another pocket to tha
coat, the inoffensive breeches were sub-
ject to the gross imposition. Tlie pres-
ent styles are elegant, and a decided
advance on any that have preceded. The
trousers of to-day are as compléta
an institution as can be wished for.
There are well-contrived recesses for
the watch, the pistol, the whisky flask,
keys, knife, comb, handkerchief, pock-
etbook— in short, everything that tha
most fastidious man could desire to have
about him.
