Minneapolis Tailors and Furnishers ^Tell Just What He Will

Wear.

Pegtop Trousers and Padded Shonl-* ders Are to Be Less in

Favor.

Masculine fashions for the coming sum­mer will be characterized by better taste

I than was displayed last year. There will | b e no extremely h igh collars, no g a u d y •' neckties, no "peg-top" trousers, no shirt

wais t s , no rakish hats . Only the colored wa i s t coa t will remain, a l though i t s t ints

; wi l l be less glaring. T h e mater ia l s to be used b y tailors

wil l Include str ipes and c h e c k s a s to d e ­s ign and wel l n igh every shade a s to color, a l though the more del icate t in t s

, and patterns will be preferred. The ; w e a v e of t h e fabrics wil l be soft in all

t h e woolens . "Less ampl i tude than w a s fashionable

, l a s t year ," s a y s T h e Sartorial Art J o u r -i nal . "will characterize all garments* dur-[ ing the spring and summer. Men's j shoulders wil l s e e m to have lessened in { w i d t h and squareness , their hips will a p -! pear l e s s effeminate , their l egs will more

emphat ica l ly a s ser t their side curves. Narrow-Shouldered Coats

"Coats will have narrow shoulders wi th ; on ly enough padding to g ive them a I smooth round appearance near the arm, i and will open a little lower and be a

trifle narrower of roll than they were. Thpse of the frock type will be shorter b y about an inch. The double-breasted

j s ty le will have a litt le more 'bell' in i t h e skirts , the c u t a w a y s will be more 1 s loped a w a y below the wais t . Sacks ! wi l l be shorter and less shaped to the i wa i s t .

" V e s t s will close higher, often to show above the opening of the coat. B o t h t h e s ingle and the double-breasted v e s t s wil l be very much s lanted a t the bottom from the front center to the hips.

"Trousers will be a trifle closer a t the hops and will be more a t t enuated of leg. The semi 'peg-tops' are emphatical ly th ings of the past ."

Panama Hat Still It. The P a n a m a hat wil l a g a i n be fashion­

able . But i t will no longer take the F e ­dora shape. The favorite pattern will be" the Optimo, w i t h a wide brim. The crown wil l have vertical s ides a n d a flat top. Al ­though this dignified s ty le is decreed by t h e fashion-makers , the public wil l prob­ably dent the P a n a m a a s heretofore and turn down i t s brim for negl ige effects. In cheaper s t r a w s the old-fashioned "sailor" w i t h low. flat crown and wide straight brim, will be the rule. The derbv will h a v e a wider, flatter brim and a hatter crown. In soft hats no browns will be seen and few pearled-colorcd felts . The s t y l i s h soft ha t will be black w i t h the Optimo shape and a narrow black band.

N o s tanding collars will be worn except for dress occasions. The collar of the s u m m e r will be a low "turn down," close f i t t ing or open, w i t h round or square corn­ers .

Color In Ties . A m o n g the modish t ies will be narrow

four- in -hands and "midget s tr ings ." The correct color will be black, a l though varia­t ions will be permitted for small , neat effects. Stocks , chiefly whi te , will be re ­served for out ing dress.

"The shirt wa i s t , wh ich w a s n e v e r in r o g u e a m o n g the bes t people,"' s a y s a Jiaberdashing authority , "is dead and buried." Pla i ted shirt fronts are stil l r e ­tained. Some shirts will show solid colors in tans , b lues and grays . B u t the body of m o s t des igns will be whi te . The ver­t ical l ines will not be black this year, a s a rule, but of a t int more striking—blue, brown or yel low, never red. Negl ige f hirts will be pure wh i t e wi th both plaited and plain fronts. A s to materials , i m ­ported Scotch Madras wil l predominate. Cheviots , too, will be demanded, w i t h percale or fine pure linen for extremely h o t weather .

Be l t s are to be small , black, unobtrusive The rule will be a black bel t one inch wide, plainly s t i tched and fastened wi th a small g i l t buckle. .

Foot Wear. The Piccadil ly last, broad across the ball

©f the foot and tapering decidedly towards the toe, will d is t inguish the s u m m e r shoe. "Low shoes , a s usual , will be favorite. P a t ­en t kids, laced, will be sold for dress oc ­casions , whi le bus iness m e n wil l cont inue to prefer laced calfs. Tan shoes have practically disappeared, save in connect ion w i t h out ing cos tumes . The s a m e cos ­t u m e s will m a k e w a y for the use of can­v a s shoes .

Hairwood, bamboo, ma lacca and acac ia are among the recognized mater ia ls for the cane of 1903. Straight handles , jo ining the s t ick a t r ight angles , will bo universal . Natura l woods wil l be l itt le seen. Most c a n e s wil l be freely inlaid w i t h silver.

KOCIAN. BOHEMIAN VIOUIN VIRTUOSO.

Ivocian, the phenomenal young B o h e m ­ian violin virtuoso who Is to appear a t Plymouth church in recital Tuesday even­ing* is a m o s t interest ing personality. In direct contrast to Kubelik,' his c lassmate and countryman w h o w a s here last year, Kocian is of fair complexion and blond

hair. H e has soft, dreamy, poetic eyes , and a modest , quiet, reposeful mein. H e is s lender and carries himself w i t h un­conscious grace, absolute ly free from m a n ­nerisms of a n y sort. Bes ide be ing a w o n ­der on his chosen ins trument he is a po­lite and gent le youth, unassuming but withal of a sturdy manl iness .

The Phi lharmonic club will g ive its last concert for m i s season next Friday eve ­ning, March 27, a t the Swedish Tabernacle. "St. Paul" will be sung for the first t ime in Minneapolis . Each t ime a work of this caliber i s brought out, a dist inct step for­ward is taken in the musical education of the city. The educational value of this work is twofold. There is no better jr or more s incere presentat ion of St. Paul 's miss ion in the world than this one of Mendelssohn's . From both artist ic and religious standpoint all requirements are fulfilled. The composer has followed the tex t of the Bible wi th scrupulous fidelity and has fitted sent iment and religious significance into its musical frame wi th the sure touch of genius .

For two generat ions Engl i sh music lov­ers have continually sought this work for inspiration and pleasure, and to-day it draws w i t h irresistible power all lovers of the bes t sacred music .

•""'ISM Clara Wil l iams and Mrs. F ; H. Waterman will s i n g the soprano and- con­tralto s61os, and E v a n Wil l iams and G w y -11m Miles of N e w York, those for tenor and bass . Of these s ingers , three are Welsh , than which poeple none are m o r e versed in sacred choral work.

The chorus and the orchestra will be directed by Mr. Oberhoffer. T ickets will be for sa le a t the Metropolitan mus ic store a t 9 o'clock next Monday rrorning.

I t is doubtful whether the coming of any art is t to Minneapolis has aroused the in ­terest caused by the announcement of the appearance of Kocian, the phenomenal y o u n g Bohemian violinist a t P l y m o u t h church, n e x t Tuesday evening. This in ­teres t is exc i ted b y m a n y th ings . In the first place Kocian's fame as a viol inist has been wafted across the A t l a n t i c ' from m a n y of the m o s t magnif icent private s a ­lons of London and the cont inent . H i s public appearances have raised s torms of approval and encomiums. Critics have lauded h is technique, h i s power and viril­ity, his delicacy, h i s temperament , his musical acumen,- h is exquis i te ly suave a n d clear tone, his, a s ton i sh ing virtuosity . It h a s seemed a s though the crit ics could not find words s trong enough to express their approval and appreciation.

Another cause for the intense interest in Kocian, is the fact that despite all, h i s wonderful a t t a i n m e n t s he is but 19 years old, a mere boy in years . Ye t he plays wi th the assurance and certitude, as well as the depth of feel ing of a man.

The honors of the program will be shared w i t h K o c i a n ' b y Miss Geyer, a young lady pupil of Moszkowski and Josef-fy. Miss Geyer h a s never been heard in the wes t , but a t her debut last season a t Berlin she w a s the recipient of m a n y h o n ­ors and congratulat ions, and a brilliant fu­ture w a s predicted for her. Franz Spind-ler, an accomplished accompanis t will a s ­s i s t Kocian a t this recital a s he has during the entire tour. Indeed Kocian decl ined to come to Amer ica unless Spindler, h i s l i fe- long friend should accompany him.

The program is a s fol lows: Concerto T>

the Sonata in E flat opus .27, and the Sonata Appass ionate opus 57 in F minor.

A benefit concert will be g iven by the* Northwestern Conservatory orchestra in St. Mark's guild hall Thursday evening, March 26, at 8 o'clock. The orchestra will be as s i s t ed by Mrs. W. N.

So it 5s w i t h great pleasure I recall m y first introduction t o Grape-Nuts . I had never inves t iga ted the food unti l I came to u s e It in m y o w n case . I had suffered all that a m a n can suffer from dyspepsia, had tried to heal mysel f and had had the serv­ices of m a n y other prominent physicians. Then I c lutched a t Grape-Nuts a s a drowning m a n c lutches a t a s traw and to m y great a s ton i shment a n d gratification I found that I had • discovered someth ing bes ides a broken reed to lean upon, for the food b e g a n to recuperate m e i m m e ­diately and i t has n o w entirely cured m e to such a n extent tha t I h a v e returned t o m y old habit of ea t ing every th ing that I desire and can do so wi thout -d i s tress .

The p a s s a g e by the legis lature las t w e e k of the bill providing for a greater increase in t h e annual nat ional guard a p ­propriation, a n d improvements In the e n ­campment grounds located a t L a k e City, has been a big ass i s tance a n d encourage­m e n t to the companies throughout the s ta te ,and already m a n y of the ve terans have announced their intent ion of *'taking on" again . . ; ;

One of the m o s t important sec t ions of the n e w law is tha t w h i c h provides serv ­ice or "fogle" pay f o r ' t h e en l i s ted men. Heretofore only the officers have enjoyed this privilege.

Enl is ted m e n wil l hereafter be entit led to a 10 per cent increase whi le in a n y service under orders of the commander-in-chief,, for e a c h period of five years ' service . The pay per d iem for the first five years i s a s fol lows: Reg imenta l non­commiss ioned officers and first sergeants , $2.25; each sergeant and reg imenta l m u s i ­cian, $2; e a c h ^corporal, $1.75, and each other enl isted man, $1.50. Officers draw the s a m e pay a s those of equal -rank in the regular army, but ' their "fogies" cease after an increase of 40 per cent, or t w e n ­ty-five years ' service . :

The medical department a s a separate organization has been abolished. E a c h reg iment will now be ent i t led to a sur­geon w i t h the rank of major, t w o a s s i s t ­an t surgeons w i t h the rank of first l i eu­tenants ; one hospital s t eward and t w o act ing hospital s tewards . L ieutenant Col­onel R. J. Fitzgerald, w h o w a s medical directof, will be ass igned a s surgeon of the Firs t regiment , w i t h Harry P . Ritchie and Judd U. Goodrich, both of St. Paul , a s ass i s tants . The a s s i g n m e n t of the other medica l officers .have not y e t been decided upon, further - than that A s a F . Goodrich, St. Paul , and A. B» Cole, F e r ­g u s Falls , wil l probably be as s igned a s ass i s tants in the Third regiment . It is conceded that th is change wil l provide for better discipline i n . t h e medica l depart­ment .

An ordnance officer has been added to the staff of the battal ion of artillery, a l so one commissary sergeant , one . hospital s teward and one ac t ing s teward. E a c h battal ion of arti l lery also has a n extra a l lowance of $350, ami the battal ion c o m ­mander $100 for horse hire. For years past th is arm of the service has been seriously handicapped for w a n t of m o n e y to e n ­g a g e suitable horses. The batter ies are now on a solid basis , and in shape to compete w i t h those of our neighboring s ta tes .

For Advanced Rifle Practice. The n e w bill provides that the c o m ­

mander- in-chief m a y a t h is discret ion order and establ ish special c a m p s for advanced instruct ion in rifle practice, not to exceed s ix days in a n y one year, the at tendance to be l imited to officers and m e n who have a t ta ined *a prescribed standard in marksmanship. T e a m s m a y also be se lec ted to participate in official, compet i t ions wi th similar t e a m s from other s tates .

In the pas t th is money has been raised by as se s s ing e a c h company from $15 to $30 annually , wh ich w a s taken from camp pay.

The adjutant general will hereafter have full charge of the s ta t e Camp ground and mil i tary reservat ion ' and $2,500 is a n ­nually provided for the maintenance , e x ­tension and improvements of grounds a n d buildings. One of the first expenditures will probably be for the erect ion of a high fence on both Sides of the railroad tracks a t Lake City and rigid regulat ions will be provided and enforced to keep m e n a w a y from the track. Guards wil l be e s ­tablished a t the ga te s and every precau­tion possible taken to avoid acc idents . It is probable a lso that gravel paths wil l be made, a wharf built for the landing of launches and improvements made to the bath houses .

An addit ional sum of $15,000 annual ly has been appropriated, which now brings the total annual appropriation up to $65,-500.

From all over the s tate come reports of increased interest in the national guard. The expiration of the term of en l i s tment of all the m e n w h o w e n t into the re­organized reg iments after the volunteer service h a s expired and nearly all are re-enl ls t ing. ' ,

The St." Paul companies especial ly are n o w filling up fast in v i e w of the erect ion of a n e w armory, to cost $100,000, w h i c h will be a magnif icent structure.
