The Chronicle eays of her playing Bach, Beethoven and Rubensteln: ?'Bach's 'Toccata ar.d Fugue' was beau- tifully played. Not a point was missed, and the Intricate maze of counterpoint was unraveled with marvelous skill. Not only in this number, but also throughout the entire programme, the p.aniste showed an intellectual grasp of the music, which revealed moat thoroughly the beauties of the various compositions. The two short numbers by B-ethoven were delightfully rendered, showing that even a simple com- position can J*- made at times even more effective than the most elaborate efforts of the pisniste's art. Baint--acns' transcrip- tion of the 'Chorus of Dervishes' exhibited J!m«. Zc..«!er's perfect mastery of dif- ficult octave passages, and the 'Turkish March' was played so exactly after the manner of Bubenstein that It needed but little effort of the imagination to recall the great master himself at the keyboard." l,a I.ole Fuller Friday M*h». Regarding l.a Ix>le Fuller, who will dance at the Seattle th'ater on i ».day, the San Francisco Chronicle speaks as fol- lows: "The *l>an-« of the Firmament' is a study of creation. The dancer ap- peared a Sudden breaking of fire and from through the meaning- less darkness. She stood a mo- ment wrapped in the Are, then the great arms and wings of her dress rose and soared and waved.

THE LI HUNG CHANG OVERCOAT AND JAMES WALDERE KIRK. while the king of their tribe Is in town, for they will stand no chance with a man who changes his clothing six times a day, and has 200 suits to draw on. Just think of it. you ordinary dressers, who are trying to get up a refutation on five or six or a dozen suits of clothes. In the language of the yellow kid of the New York Journal, "you're not in it." Mr. Klrke lives to dress, and has made a life study of the subject. He is an affa- ble, gracious potentate, and is always ready to give inforn»ation to those who like to dress well, for next to dressing well himself he likes to other people well attired. Mr. Klrke is extremely modest In his de- meanor. He Is of medium size and has dark hair and eyes. Although he is only 9i years old he is slightly "bald, which is doubtless due to the great weight of thought that is always on his mind, as to his dress. Although Mr. Klrke is the king of the dudes, he is a man of business abil- ity. When 15 years of as*; he came West to hew out a fortune for himself. For a while he worked at anything that he could get to do, and with his savings he speculated in town lota in Kansas City and Denver, in mines at Cripple creek and elsewhere, and w is occasionally a plunger In the Chicago wheat pit among the bulls and the bears. Whatever he went into he had the happy faculty of coming out of it on his feet; in short, he made money. Now he '* a member of the firm of Brow n Bros., of Detroit, with an income of JIO.OOO a year. "With such an income," said the ruler and autocrat mt the dudes, "1 can fully gratify my tastes as to dress." Although he is tha acknowledged leader in the mat- ter of dress In the United States, he cares nothing for society. The dominant idea with him is to be always well dressed. "You know." he said to a reporter last evening, "that every man has a hobby of some kind or other. Mine has been to dress. This idea ts a part of my being. My much respected mother Informed me that when 1 was three years old the desire to be decently and appropriately clothed was Just as strong in me as It is at the present. I used to get mad If I was com- pelled to wear a dirty dres«, and was as proud as a peacock when I t-js prettily attired I was the same way during my s, tioolboy days. I was not born with a sliver spoon In my mouth. On the con- trary, my parents were not in affluent circumstance*. I started out to take care of myself when I was 15 years of age. and though I bad the usual ups and downs I wa# always particular about my clothes. Finally 1 made a good-d*e<i fortune, and am able to fully gratify my taste as to drf>*» and I assure you tha* I do so." "Other men have fast hor*e-. others go In for yachting, some spend their money for w ne; others at the gaming table, while I friend of my Income on dr.v-s. It affects no one but myself, and I contrive in one way and the other to extfAi-t a good deal of satisfaction nit of my fad. I, however, while I hav»* bean moderately successful in life, have not for- gotten my people, and they sfc*r* my pros ? ity with me, although none of them arm so extravagant In the matter of dr»ss as I am."

The cloth is a beautiful ««?! brown and has a fine flash. It is male very loose. In fact it is so loose thai it wouM fit two men of my lie. The shoul- ders are built out two Inches w.vier than would be required ;n an ordinary coat. Th.s is to produce the immense hack, or what m.ght be termed the Li Huns Chan* effect. "What is the correvt thirds in sack suits? The most favorable material in the eyei of the best dressers is shepherd's plaid.'' and the kin* of the dressers point- ed to a plaid suit that was stretched out on a table with the pants in wire stretch- ers in order to keep the«n in form. The coat and ve«t should be dtubie breasted, ar.d the cap worn with this suit shouid also be of the sam* material as the suit, L: m ikes a suit. I tell you." "Fitnry woolen waistcoats are in good form, the fancier the better. The Prince of Whiles set this fashion this year by ap- pearing in a gargeoirs woolen waistcoat that was covered with flowers. The lat- est in frock coats are those made of Vi- enna cloth, with a velvet collar. For full evening dress a velvet coiiar is good form. I am very mucn in favor of a velvet col- lar, and think that it give* a tone to such garments that nothing else can impart. White duck watelectasis are particularly up to date for evening parties or swell balls. "Light, largo checks or stripes are the correct thin*? in trousers. They must be worn with cutaway coats. Trousers* should be cut an inch or an inch ami a half small- er at the shoe than at the knee. It is truo that this style is not becoming for men w ho have big feet," and hi? majesty gazed In an abstracted manner at his No. 3 patent leathers, and then an alarmed look cam* on his face as he caught s.ght qf the No. 8 skates lhat reveaied the generous pro- portions of the reporter's feet. "As for shoe those with round toes are considered in good form. I have just received & round-toed, heavy-soied tan shoe, which is the correct thing in New York, where they dres» better than in any other city in the United States. The correct thing in hats are those of silk, but it looks awful bad to wear a silk h.tt with a sack coat. A saek coat is intended to be worn during business hours, and a silk hat should not be worn by a man during the time that he is attending to business. "Who do I think is the best dresser in the United States? Well, that is a ques- tion that 1 have been asked before, and for personal reasons 1 do not care to an- swer the question. The New York papers award the palm to Willis Tiffany, Regi- nald Rives. C. D. Gibson. Richard Hard- ing Davis, O. N. P. Belmont and W. C. Whi'.ney. Which one of these gentlemen shows the most taste in the matter of his attire lam not prepared to say. 1 was at the horse .vliow in New York this year and saw all of these gentlemen. an<i#l must say that they show a great deal of correct taste and that they are well groomed and in good form," and then the great dresser looked fondly at a rainbow-hued necktie that was hanging on the washstand that would have made one of CoL James Ham- ilton Lewis' Italian sunset ties fairly blush with shame, for its lack of brilliant color- ing. "A man who desires to dress well can, if he is a little observing, secure many valuable pointers from Ihe leading actors ;n society dramas. They are nearly al- ways up to date, and many of them show- decided talent in the matter of dress. Take John Drew; he is a fine dresser, and could be copied to advantage by those who have not the time or the originality to think out designs for coats or waistcoats. "The proper thing in sh rts are red and white and black and white checks. In neckwear, the correct thing are those of a very brilliant hutv They run to plaids, and can be tied in any shape desired. I usu- ally wear this pearl pin. I bought It in Paris a year ago, I suppose that I went into tifty shops before I got just the shape of pin that I desired, and the jeweler charged me $1,500 for it. but I would not take double that sum, for it Is jusc what I want. In the matter of rings I wear a "naif dozen. I have diamond, tur- qoise and other rings, and I consider them to be in good form. One of these rings is a five-karat diamond." Then the re- porter was shown the interior of one of the king's big trunks. It will hold thirty shirts, 100 collars, fifty neckties, twenty- flve suits of clothes and a thousand other accessories of his toilet. STEAMER WILLAPA DIE. A Rniuor Hint the Company Would Get Another Steamer Denied. Steamship Wiilapa is due to arrive from Alaska. She was expected yesterday, hut no word of her arrival on the Sound was received. Should she get in on time she will sail again December 10 at 10 o'clock in the morn'.ng. Periodically a rumor is given circulation that a new steamer Is to be operated by the Alaska Steamship Company In con- nection wtrh the Wiiiapa. The latest of these, and which '.s declared utterly with- out foundation by the managers of the line, appeared in the Juneau Mining Rec- ord. as follows: "The steamer Alliance la under charter to the Alaska Steamship Company and is being put Into shape for service as a com- panion vessel to the W'.llapa, alternating with the latter boat In regular weekly ser- vice to and from the cities of the Sound. The Alliance w 11 make her first trip early in January, and this arrangement will continue in force unt * the arrival from Eastern waters of a new and elegant pas- senger steamer, recently purchased by the company and now being put in shape for the voyage around the Horn. She will replace the Alliance and the latter will he held as a reserve boat, ready to take the place of either of the others of the line should occa* >n «r!*f " Both the chartering of the steamer Alli- ance and the purchase of the "new and eiegant pass«iger steamer" wer- yester- day denied bv C.

Men mere gathered about the entrance to the Moran foundry yesterday, and they tip-toed and peered over each other s should*rs at a paper posted on the fence. It was a notice as follows: "Commencing Tuesday. IVoember &. shop wil] be operated for seven and a half hours each day. commencing at & fl'clock a. :n. and quitting at 4:30 p. m. "MOHAN BROS. COMPANY." The men read the notice in groups of two and three. Then they drew away and consulted. Seven hours and a half a day at 39 cents an hour meant SIS. They had been getting 13. It was not right, they whispered to one another. Then they quit whispering and spoke aloud. "It's not right?we won't stand it?we'll quit?we'll strike." Together they left the foundry. There was no trouble?no demands were made. It was not ,a strike, simply a "quit." The quitters numbered about fifty, and were the fitters, riveters, ship- pers and caulkers, hoMers-on and rivet heaters, who have been eMiuoyed tn the construction ot ihe hulls of t"he United States revenue cutter Oolden Uate and the government torpedo boat. This will cause hull construction to come to a standstill. About 125 caroenters, boiler makers and machinists are left in the shops. They will continue work on the new schedule, and have expressed no dis- satisfaction. The company's position was easily ex- plained. They could not afford during the short winter days to pay for ten hours when there was working light for only seven and a half hours. "As we under- stand," said Robert Moran yesterday, "the workmen who h*ve struck In our yard claim to have a grievance in the fact that we refuse to pay for ten hours' time when men are working seven and one-half hc.urs. We employ all our help at a stated price per hour's work, and it is our inten- tion always, when business and other con- ditions justify, to operate our shops for a period of tetv hours as a working day. A largt part of our work has to be carried on practk'ally out of doors, and during the past six weeks we have been greatly bothered by the weather and short days. We provided artificial light in the hope that we might continue with ten hours as a working day, though we wert forced to tha conclusion thai the work could not be carried on in an economk-al manner in that way, and hence concluded yesterday to make the working day seven and one- half hours, commencing at 8 o'clock in the morning and stopping at 4:30 in the evening. Notice to that effect was posted in the various departments of our works. "These arrangements were not satisfac- tory to part of the men, hence the strike, unless we would agree to pay for ten hours' service for seven and a half hours' work. Of course we could not consent to that. Fully two-thirds of our men have taken a reasonable view of the matter and continued at work, and we do not ap- prehend any difficulty in securing help to take the p'.ace of those who have discharg- ed themselves. At any rate, there will be no service paid for that .6 not rendered." Meanwhile the strikers were dispersing themselves !n as many saloons as possible, and were celebrating their voluntary holi- day after the most approved fashion. All had money, for they had been paid a month's wages the preceding Thursday. Many had not been in the yards since pay- day. and it was when told of the new or- der by their comrades that they decided to promote their staying away into a "strike." "Why did we quit? Well, just say we're all to d lazy to work." said one of the strikers. It was in & saloon on .the water front, and he leaned as he spoke on the bar. "That cut in time was a way they have of cutting wages. We don't want the earth. We're willing to work ten hours for 13. As we can't do that we've simply quit, that't all. Why, look here, w ill you?" He drew from h.s pocket a ticket to San Francisco. "That talks, don't It? There were four of us went this morning In the Puebla and forty-four of us will go down In the. Walla Walla." "Oh, there are others," sa'd the saloon proprietor, airily. "Yes, but not in this town." was the re- sponse. "We are the people. When w-e go they won't get anyone else in a hurry. Wages in San Francisco is $3 25 a day. Who's going to come here for $125? No, I ain't going to work for no Un:on Iron Work*. No Union for me. I'll go back to an old job at Hunter's po nt. They're* taking sev- enty-ilve sheets off the Gainsborough. The Risdon Iron Works is the There ain't many like us. We're Scrtwh, every one. Scotch Is the ship builder*. x L«>k at the Campania, the Lucania and the City of Rome. All Scotch. Why. I've worked in every yard in the country; Chester. Newport News, Chicago. Lake Superior, San Francisco and the rest of them." "It's a wonder you wouldn't take a tum- ble to yourself once In a while?just once in a while." said another striker. Who stood by. Then the talkative one said no more. M >ran Bros will write to poin's on the Coast for workmen at once. They antic- 'pate no trouble in securing help. The Golden Gate was to have been launched the latter part of th's month, but this .-omplication makes It uncertain The company's government contract will not be affected by the strike, which is excused as beyond control. Insurance companies claim that eyefng is more dangerous than traveling either bv railway or by ship.
