Oiled Walnut Furniture,

When oiled walnut furniture begins
TO grow dingy, it can be made to look as
fresh as new by reoiling. Linseed or
even olive oil may be used, but pure,
good kerosene oil is much the best. Rub
it well in with a soft woolen rag and
polish with clean dry flannel.

trimmings, they have become much
simpler of late. Three rows of any sort
of ornament are rarely seen, and the
line round the hips, which was so dis
figuring to even the best figures, seems
to have totally disappeared. The trim
ming most in vogue consists Of a band
bordering the skirt, sometimes headed
with elaborate braiding, but more often
with a single line of some handsome
passementerie.
Nor is there so much multiplicity of
ornament on the bOdices as Of late. With
a collar and revers turned back from a

BlOuses are more popular than ever

April last, shot Miss Laura F. Martin in
a passenger coach on the Richmond and
Danville railroad just as the train was

committed suicide some time last night
by hanging himself in his cell in the city
jail. About $50 O'Clock this morning
inmates of the jail called to the iailer,

PRoTEoTIoN FOR PosrMEN.
New Rules Governing Appointments
and Removals.

Washington. Oct. p An important
new departure in postonice appointments
was made public to-day. Acting Post
master General Jones has issued circular
instructions to all postmasters at free
delivery Offices directing that hereafter
substitute letter carriers must be nom
mated from the eligible list. Vacancies
in the carriers force must be filled where
practicable by promotion of the senior
substitutes. All removals and new en-
plOyments of clerks and carriers must be
reported to the first assistant postmaster
general as soon as made. No carrier is
to be removed except for cause and upon
written charges filed with the postoffice
department and fun opportunity for de-
fense. No resignation asked for by u
postmaster will be accepted by the de-
partment. Postmasters must submit to
the department all questions relating to
the appointment, removal and reinstate-
ment for settlement by correspondence
between the department and civil service
commission.
The object in issuing these new regula-
tions, which practically deprive postmas-
ters of the appointing power over their
subordinates, is officially defined to be
for the purpose of avoiding unjust re-
movals of clerks and carriers in the classi-
fed services, and to avoid embarrassment
and annoyance, to the department post
masters with reference thereto"
Also to obviate "the delay, annoyance
and misunderstanding that have been
caused in the past by postmasters con-
Quoting with the civil service commits
sion, correspondence which should origin
ate alone with the head of the postofice
department"
Theoretically, the power of making all
appointments and removals of letter car
riers and other officials has always been
vested in the postoffice department, but
practically, postmasters have been accus-
toned TO exercise the power of appoint
ment and removal without previously
consulting the postoffice department,
merely reporting their action pro forma,
for approval. The new regulations are
designed to make the practice conform to
the rules and to keep the appointing power
centered in Washington 1t is denied that
there is any political Significance in the
circular.
