SWINDLING TAILORS.
BaUlUa "Rasar-MSd" 'Salts for Clothlna
..,.. i.. Made to Order,
A system of contemptible swindling
la practiced in a few of the. tailor shops
in thp lower part of the city. Some of
these shops bve gaudily decked win
dows,, showing a great variety of materi
als skillfully displayed, and have also
little glass show cases just outside their
doors, in which are garments neatly
made and placarded to the effect that
such articles' are made "to order" at ex
tremely low rates. The price is always
attached, and many a man Ib enticed to
enter and have clothing made "to order"
by the combined ' allurements of the
made-up-article and the cheap price.
A Tribune reporter, was a victim , the
other day! . Seeing a coat handsomely
made up ia a show case,, to which was
attached a. card reading,' "Coat and vest
to order $19," be entered the store and
asked the proprietor if a coat and waist
coat could be made for him to look as
well as those In the case, and at the
sarnie' time fit his form satisfactorily.
He waa assured that to accomplish this
was the easiest matter In the wo. Id,
whereupon .the reporter selected ma
terial for a suit to cost, made to order,
524, a'liUe less than half as much as he
had been accustomed, to pay uptown,
but the coat in the. showcase did look
extremely well. His measure was taken
and a few days later he called to try on
the coat: j Jt. did not fit. him, at all, but
the tailor made several ehalk marks on
the unfinished garment and said . that it
would be all right and finished on a cer
tain day. At, the try ing-on stage the
coat was a four-button cutaway. ... .
On the day the suit was to be done the
reporter, called for it and proceeded to
try 'OB the coat again. " It was too loose
in the back and the collar did not fit the
neck, while the sleeves were too short
"Don't worry, my friend," said the tai
lor, .Vit will be all right to-morrow when
you oome for it or shall 1 send- my boy
homawilb.it eh?"-
The.eustomer said he would call for it
the pext day, and just then noticed that
the coat was a three-button out away..-,
How Ja that?J".be asked. . . "This was
a four-button.coat when I triad iton be-
....i ... . :
"You are, mistaken,., .my .friend," waa
the solemn reply, "it was al ways a threer
butfon'ciat.' On the follow day the re
porter called'again and found the cont
a better " fit,' but still ' far from , being
what'a 'c0afc Mm4de' (6 order" should be.
Wishing to weai the srilt' that night he
decided to take 'it ' arid kve any neces:
aaryH ftangs ""Hiade ' to' future. The
trousers were" no- better fit. being too
short' the-iegs Stll! he was In a
hurry and the tailor promis d to make
every tiling right" at some future time.
Looking the olothes over that night, the
reporter. .found ander the fob pocket
in the trousers the name of a well
known firm of wholesale manufacturers.
A quiet little investigation the next day
showed that ho had bought a ready
made sui for' a , 'considerable advance
over the' price charged by the retailers
of such garments, and pursuing his in
quiry, he learned that the tailor he em
ployed, .as . well'as' many, others, do not
make ' clothing t order at all. - They
keep a line of goods corresponding to
the clothes made up by "manufacturers'
for the retallereof ,rya4y?na4ejathiii.ljak .mjuwa&ty ?iat twenty-vyearn
and when they get a . customer, that

reduced orlh'i trout tlie'toantiacturer.'a
ljt 'r garmeu'tVmost'liearly. corre-
f;lndtng to, the i measurements. ' -They
Iso have as-a-(,blind'' a lot of cloth cut
up so that the pieces can be "basted"
together to answer for the ."trying on"
process- If the cloth is not exactly like
that ordered, the customer Is not likely
to detect the'' difference during the try
ing on, when the garment looks as much
like a coat for instance, as it does like
a night ahirt"- '
As these 'fake" custom tailors buy a
large bumber' ?f suits from the manu
facturers, they get the clothing cheaply,
and thus reap a heavy profit. The gar
ment in the show-case is never dupli
cated as to fit, and seldom as to quality.
There , are several.. .such stores down
town,, and the. young man should ask
for references .when he gets into one
where.e, is a strauger.N. Y. Tribune.

"Here you are, two pounds of chops,

Cranston street grocer to the young man
of family who had brought In an order

where's your can?" The young man of
Uftmay protested that he nuda t read the

"here-,-holdon to It," and he dexterously
slipped 'one paper sugar bag Inside of
another and filliped the corners iuto
place. The two quarts of milk were
poured tnto ' the Inner bug.' "The grease
jut the .thilk peev-uta.it. from going
through the paper aa water would," ex
plained the grocer. "I had hard work
to get people to believe they could carry
milk In a bag at first, and had to let it
go at my own risk.' I've sent it so half

you not to stop to tell any long stories

friend Payne to tho new position and

..It takes un urmy almost to clean,
scrub, sweep, aud sprinkle the streets
of Paris, and the service is divided Into
two divisions the central and suburban
and these two bodies are again sub
divided Into sections and quarters. The
central division sweeps nearly 7,000,000
square meters and the suburban nearly
9,000,000. So you wo about 10,000,000
square meters of soil huve to be cleuned
dally.......
, , The army of street-sweepers is com
posed of em brigades and voluntaries.
"' The, former are. considered us canton-
niers, or .road laborers, and are em

their lot, and they do the supplementary
weeping, washing Out of gutters, clean
ing 'of public stations, market-houses,
to. The voluntaries are voluntary work
ers. They are: enrolled in brigades.
There are about 130 of these brigades,
or ateliers, and each comprises a chief,
a .foreman, and. about thirty men and
women sweepers, the greater part of
whom only work In the early morning,
either in the cleansing of streets, prop-
, erly, so called, or else in assisting . to

"labor begins at three o'clock la summer
"and four-in, winter, and when they work
' a whole day they tin is h ut four o'clock;
' that is to say, after Laboring for twelve
hours.
The complete service of sweepers com
prises: Thirty-seven chiefs or over
seers, is-i foremen, 054 ordinary can
' tonniers, 2,000 auxiliary sweepers, and
850 men' mid women who do only half
a day's work. Overseers, foremen and
ordinary cantoniiiers ure paid monthly,
the first 150 to- 100 fra nes. the second 120
to 125 francs, the third lOtl francs, and
the sweepers are paid for the work they
do from C4 cents to 7V cents for a day
and from 4S cents to 50 cents for a half
day. Out of these small emoluments
each "cantrianier,'" no matter what his
grade or class, bus to pay monthly Into

two francs for the society of mutual
succor is made monthly from the wages
of those employed in the Lois de Bou

hicle with two wheels, behind which is
the sweeping apparatus, formed of a
roller armed with piazzava bristles; it ia
six feet long and inclined bo as to throw
the mud to one side always. Thanks to
the screw-like arrangements of this
roller, the mud collected at one extrem

It forms a heap. . ,
This heap Is taken back , again by a
second ' passage ' of the machine, and
thrown ' successively' to a' distance of
four and a half feet at each passage' un

about ra00; it sweeps 8,000 superficial
meters per hour and does the work of

Tha annual - appropriation - for ' this
cleaning and sprinkling, -as" well aa the
clearing away ot snow and loe, is- close
to 6,815,000 francs.. The sweeping serv
ice calls for a total of 5,700,000 and the
rather high figures. The city raises its
share of this fund by a sweeping tax
Imposed on house-owners. " By the
terms of the law the tariff - of this tax
baa to be revised every five years. - The
last revised tariff waa applied in 188,
and It will remain in force until 1808.
