will be concluded, it is expected, to.
morrow. A written statement in an.
swer to the charges was submitted to-
day by Mr.. Jones. He denied that he
had violated the civil service law, and
claimed that the employees whom he
discharged were removed for offensive
conduct. The evidence offered by the
Mugwumps who preferred the charge
showed, however, that two of the dis
charged employees had been appointed
under civil service rules, and when
| the postmaster removed them for thu
purpose of appointing Democrats III
their places, he gave them written
statements show ing that there had beei
| no charges against them.
These statemen nts were produced as
part of the evidence, and it is believed
that they alone are sufficient to con
vict the postm aster of having violated

that the Greek and Roman women, as

event they wore the girdle, which the
Roman matrons generally placed i'm
mediately beneath the bosom. Some
times it was band, and ut other times n

of the upper part of the dress fell grace
fully. Among the Greeks, though not
