ETHICSoF GOoDCLOTHES.

The business woman can not afford to
disregard the conventionalities of dress.
She who is wisest and more far-seeing
follows in the wake of present-day fash
ions, avoiding ex3ggerations of absurd
even adopting them when she finds her
self forced to do SO or remain conspicuous
among women.
Men have small patience with the woman
who departs from conventional dress
Standards nor have they much admiration
for that other woman who holds all mat
ters of dress in contempt and regards her
clothes as question of covering only.
The woman whose dress is neat, stylish,
becoming and suitable to the time and
place is the woman with whom they like
best to deal. They do not want diamond
earrings to flash in their eyes when dictat-
ing to their stenographers, but they re-
sent it as almost an affront to themselves
If her dress is antiquated in pattern, i'll
fitting and unbeconiing. True, they have
not deep objections to dress reform so
long a it is cleyeTly concealed. They do
not object to an uncorseted figure when
the carriage is such that the lack of corsets
cannot be detected; but they are very apt
to ma keremarksab aboutthepoor womanwho
throws away her stays and does not learn
to use her backbone.
Good clothes may not be an essential to
success, but they are more or less of an
index OF ourselves and it is only the women
who are sure of their position in every way
Business women who are depending upon
their own eXertions for a comfortable liyli-
hood dare not do so.-San Francisco Argo-

convention rally ON Monday evening,
June IT, this decision having been
reached at a meeting of the board of con-
troll held at Foundry Church, last evening.
In submitting his report to the board,
President Matthews suggested that there
was SO much to be said of the recent

that such rally seemed to be advisable,
in order that an early opportunity may be
had OF reporting to all of the chapters
at ouce.
1t was voted by the board to hold the
meeting at Metropolitan Church, corner
of Four -and-a-half aud C streets, in case
lit shall prove not to conflict with other
appointments there, and in case there
should be prior claim upon that church,
the league viii go to McKendree Church on
Massachusetts avenue northwest.

last night from the various officials, in
Guiding j. S. Barker, first vice-president;

ference to be held in Chattanooga, Tenn,

are Rev. G. FL. Parkhurst, d. D., Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth, Hon. Mckenzie
Bow ell, premier of Canada; Bishops Hem
dirk, Joyce and Hargroyes and Rev. Sam
Jones.
The conference has been looked forward to
with interest for two years, and it Is prob
able that large delegation win go from
Washington. The committee on transporta-
ton was instructed last night to ascertain
the lowest rates and other necessary par
ticulars, and to report at the post-conven ention
rally on the 18th instant.

GYPsIEs HAD THE Child
Continued from First Page.

Robes home a day or two ago, and said
his mother was i'll, his father dead, and
asked for some money His story was
supported by a paper on which Were the
names OF several persons and the amounts
they had given,
Yesterday the boy stated that Lively's
wife, who is said TO be deaf and dumb,
wrtoe the note aud signed the names her
self. tits believed by the police thatthe boy
is afraid to talk much and that he is not the
child of Lively, but merely one procured for
the purpose of begging.
ON BEGGING TRIPS.
An investiga ton showed that Lively
frequently went off, staying three and
four days at time, aud always returned
with a wagon load Of provisions and va
riOus articles. On these trips he was ac-
companied by some one OF his alleged
daughters, who told fortunes.
Lively is said to have a relative named
Gordon living on Half street in Southwest
Washington, in the vicinity OF his former
home. II was TO this place that he drove
after he crossed the Long Bridge. Before
he had arrived at the house, however, ac-
cording to the story of Mary Moran, he was
hailed by two men, W no motloned him back.
He droveup to the house and the two men
came to him and told him he had better
look out, that the police had been to his
house and broke in and Were after the girl
on the seat. These men appeared to be
his friends. Lively said never mind he
would fix it and, turning to the woman,
he said, in a stern voice, Lille May,
you get out and take the child home.'
Itsoon beganto rain and the woman doing
as she was hidden, took the child by the
hand and hurried her TO the child rs home, as
told above. At the time the child believed
the men meant that her home was broken
into, and she says the woman again told her
she had better not go home. 1t was during
the exciting conversation at the Moran
home that Lille May wanted to know why
her home had been broken into and made
sundry threats as to what she would do.
Mr. Moran said last night that he would
certainly use every means in his power
to have Lively and his entire gang brought
to justice. The police Were again on the
lookout for him last night, but at late
hour he had not returned to his home. 1t
is believed that the entire crowd, who are
Gypsies, procure children for the purpose
of begging and it was stated last night
that the arrest of the entire crowd will
be made to-day.

MORTON's FALSE FRIEND !
He Caused the Dismissal of the
Navy Department Auditor.
CRITICISM OF aMR. CARLISLE
Letters Written by the Decapitated
Colonel Years Ago Containing stric-
lures Upon the Secretary wereSent
to Washington-Abrup Departure
From the Capital For Maine.

Col. Charles b. Morton. of Maine, auditor
for the Navy Department, was summarily
dismissed from the government service at
noon yesterday by President Cleveland.
Col Morton did not remain in Washing
ton very long after the notification. He
left the department, proceeded to the Buck
ingham, packed his trunk and shook the dust
Of the city ~Pf his feet for that OF Augusta,
Maine. He has been at the Buckingham
for about year, was very popular there,
and the ne VS. of his dismissal was received
with much regret.
1t is said that he made no explanation of
his dismissal. That is very natural"
said one of his friends last night; 'he
wasn't asked for any,"
The genesis of the little sensation at
the Treasury is about as follows: Col.
Morton was strong Democrat.
FOUGHT BLAINE HARD.
Blaine didn't like him. and he didn't
like Blaine politically, and Col. Morton
fought him hard in the first Cleveland
Presidential election. Hence Col. Nor
ton got an office under Mr.. Cleveland.
Col. Morton had a bosom friend in Augusta,
who also wanted q Job, and Col. Morton
tried hard to get it for him, but failed.
During his trial in his friends behalf
the latter, it is said, suggested that he
work on Mr. Carlisle. This was eight
years ago. Gel. Morton, so the story goes
On good authority, wrote to his friend some
thing about Mr.. Carlisle's personal habits
The friend kept the letter
There was quarrel between Col. Morton
aud the friend and the latter eventually sent
the letter To Secretay Carlisle Since its
receipt the effort was made for Col.
Morton's removal, and it resulted yes
terday in his dismissal.
CARLISLE FELT INSULTED.
Col. Morton's friend, who related the
story to The Times, believes that the
friction with Secretary Herbert and other
officials had nothing to do with the case.
Mr.. Carlisle regarded himself as insulted.
and the President acted for that reason
alone.
He does not believe 1T at all likely
that Col. Morton would have said any
thing offensive about the President him
self, as he owed 50 much to him, and as
the President had made appointments at
Col Morton's suggestion.
The friend who Sent the letter to seere-
tary Carlisle was an applicant for pest
office in Maine

OF Interest to Honsekeepers.

The recent advertisements of the firm
OF n. I. Redman & Co. in The Times are
OF peculiar interest. This enterprising
firm publishes daily a list OF prices of the
more important items OF groceries, and
this list forms a sort of housekeepers'
market report and daily guide.
In this daily form ii is strictly new
departure in the grocery trade, and the
movement is making itself felt.
We are accustomed TO see grocers oeca-
sionally advertise specially low prices on
certain lines, but this concern is appa-
rently marvelously low on everything
For instance, Redman & Co. offer Pills
bury's BEST" flour at S 8 per barrel to-
day, Friday, and Saturday, which price
is less than present wholesale cost. All
the other prices are proportionately low,
and the store at 944 Louisiana avenue
should be a paradise for frugal shoppers.

Ticket Taker Betz' Wife Is Suing
For Divorce.
Alexander II. Betz, OF No. s07 o street
northwest, was sued yesterday for divorce
by Lille NJ. Betz. of No. 613 Sixth
street northwest. The bill says he is
''ticket agent at Albaugh's Theater.'
They were married in Philadelphia on
April IT, 1889, by Father F. r Reilly at
ST. Johns Church. They have had three
children, of whom only one, Clarence,
born in 1890. survives.
Just before the birth of this boy he
choked her almost to death, she says, and
has on various other occasions treated her
cruelty After the birth of their last
baby about three years ago he deserted
her.
She sees no reason why the marriage
relation should any longer bind them to-
gether. She asks the custody of their
child and leave TO resume her maiden
name, Lille III. Lyons.
