Paris, April When Easter day
breaks II will break the heart of many
feminine soul, unless all Easter tradition
goes astray this year. Easter 80 is sched-
uled to be rainy. The weather prophet
has predicted it, and the ground hog has
shown it, and therefore it is that so many
have provided themselves with rainy day
dresses. in case Easter should not be all
that 1t ought
Now this is not TO say that all women
have provided themselves with Easter
gowns for a rainy Sunday. but only that
the prudent ones have selected an Easter
dress that can be worn should the skies
be showery. An Easter rain does not mean
a downpour: it means only friendly
sprinkle, but one that is ruinous to deli
cate colors and light fabrics.
Crepon Is not new fabric, but it is
being selected this year by great many
people for general all-sround Easter wear.
The new crepons come with thread OF
silk running through them and are really
very pretty. The silk seems to act as
stay upon the fabric and prevents 1t from
stretching, pulling out or crinkling in the
old exasperatlng way common to crepons.
Il may be said that there is no more dur
able fabric than the new erepon, because
Il never can look wrinkled by any acci-
dent. and, now that 1t does not stretch, 1t
is the ideal cloth.
One of the loveliest of Easter dresses is
of the new color, frog green; the skirt Is
made gored upon the hips and very fun in
the back. The back is plated, and this
great plat is pressed to make the skirt
stand out in crude fashion. The only
trimming upon the skirt is the strapping
of the cores. 1t is done with frog green
broadcloth, giving the effect OF panels
down the front and sides.
The waist is a little coat with a slightly
bolero effect in the front and long tabs
upon the sides and back The entire coat
is cut in a pattern around the edge, and
a piece of frog green cloth is set UNDER
meath to make a very pretty trimming.
The value of this cut-out pattern over a
color cannot be too highly estimated as a
trimming. A broad black satin girdle is
worn with this and black satin stock
The hat is a Princess May, tipped for
ward in the front and up in the back, and
trimmed with a frog green ribbon with
sage green quilts standing smartly at the
back. Under the rear brim there is a
mass of purple pansies.
A great deal might be said about the
girdles that are worn this year. They are
made of black satin, black surah and black
silk. They are boned like a waist There
is a bone In front, one on each side and
another in the back. The girdle is fas-

stands what Is called a Medicls ruffle;
It Is the shape Of a Medcis collar, but It
is composed OF white chiffon, laid in knife
plating and lying in perpendicular rows
The hat Is a small toque, composed of
geraniums OF all shades, with puff Of
mignonette green satin at the front. At
the back there rises a geranium plant,
composed of leaves and flowers.
1t was delightful to see the joy the other
dag with which a country woman of mine
landed in Paris and started out for days
shopping on the Rue de la PAX. Her first
stopping place was in front Of a window
fun of Easter collarettes; and before she
came away she purchased three, by actual
count, and 1 do not know how many more.
1 looked carefully at her selections, and
It is gratifying to say that every one Of
the three Is of pattern that could not be
easily made at home, even without the
aid Of seamstress. Although very high
priced, all were simple in design and the
description of one would easily enable

TWO SETS OF TEACHERS.
Lively School Row Is in Prospect in
Illinois.

SPRING VALLEY, ILL.,, Aug. 81
Trouble is expected here tomorrow
with the opening of the public schools.
Two sets of teachers have been en-
gagged and both will attempt to teach.
The two factions of the board of edu-
cation are backing their respective
teachers and each expect to be on the
ground early tomorrow morning to see
that there is no interference from the
other side A clash can hardly be
avoided. The fight among the mem
bers of the board of education dates
back to the spring election. At this
time the Spring Valley coal company
after forcing an issue upon the school
question, and being defeated for seven
straight years, was successful.
Charles Noe, a hold-over member,
who previously trained with the anti
company members of the board, turn
ed away from the latter and was
given a position at $50 month, turn
ing the Illinois river bridge at TINS
place, by the new city administration,
which for the first time is controlled
nv the coal company. Noes accession
gave the company majority on the
board. and they proceeded to engage
teachers. Later the anti-company
members, held meeting and declared
Noes seat vacant on account of him
moving his family and effects across
the river to Putnam county THIS
gave the anti-company members
majority. They then held a meeting
and were making arrangements to hire
a new set of teachers and call an cleo
ton to fill Noes seat when they were
stopped from going any further by an
injunction.
Saturday, Judge Puterbaugh, of Pc
oria, dissolved the injunction, and that
night the anti-company members held
a. meeting and engaged new set of
teachers. Last night they held an
other meeting and the newly hired
teachers were present to sign con-
tracts. The teachers who were en-
gagged by the company members signed
contracts a month ago.

HaRRITY
VOTED OUT.

READING, Pa, Sept. lit is stated
that Mr.. Ritter, the nominee for audi
tor general has telegraphed Chairman
Carmen, that he had been nominated
without his consent, and declined to
run. The report cannot be verified.
READING, Pa, Aug. 31.--The Demo-
cratic state convention met in this city
today. The matter of the selection of
candidates was entirely overshadoWed
by the fight to force the retirement of
William F. Harrity from the national
committee. Opponents of Mr.. Harrity
succeeded in pushing through by
vote of 290 to 234 a resolution 1ndors-
ing James NJ. Guffey for his position.
Mr. Harrity's friends contend that the
state convention has no power to de-
clare his seat in the national commit
tee vacant. and that he will not sur
render without fight.
The morning session of the conven-
ton ended with disgraceful row, dur
ing which some delegates, who did not
like the way things were going, climb
ed upon the stage and exchanged
blows A large detachment of police
erything was serene.
State Chairman Carmen called the
convention to order at 1880 p. M, and
announced the temporary organization
as agreed upon by the executive COM
mittee. Congressman Er1nanntraut,
temporary chairman received a round
of applause when he received the gaVel
from Mr. Carmen. John T. Lenahan,
of Wilkesbarre, claimed several of the
delegates from Luzerne were not reg
ularly elected and were not entitled
to seats. Chairman Ermanntraut re-
fused to recognize Lenahan and declar-
ed the convention adjourned for an
hour.
John T. Murphy, of Philadelphia,
secretary, grabbed the gavel from En-
manntraut and attempted to preside.
Ermanntraut tried to recover the gaVel
and a free fight ensued on the stage
The police were called in to quell the
riot. Murphy was finally elected from
the stage, and the belligerents ordered
to take their seats. Nobody was in
jured in the scrimmage, but much bad
blood was engendered. The conven-
ton then took a recess.
w iASll lliC CO1lNSIttOil ISciSSCiI1OiCo q L
1925 o'clock the policemen in the hall
had been reinforced and there were
other evidences of preparations to pre-
vent a repetition of the disgraceful
scene that brought the morning ses-
sion to close. The chairman an
nounced that the offending secretary,
John T. Murphy, of Philadelphia,
would be excluded from the stage. The
committee on permanent organization
reported 1. R. Irwin, of Washington,
for permanent chairman, and recon-
mended the continuation of the other
temporary officers with the exception
of T. W. Gulick, of North Hampton, to
replace ]. T. Murphy, as one OF the
secretaries.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Irwin's ad-
dress James Kerr, of Clearfeld, chair
man of the resolutions committee, read
the platform adopted by the commit
tee.
Charles P. Donnally, of Philadelphia,
presented a minority report striking
out plank of the platform commend
ing the recommendation of James Nj.
Guffey as national committeeman III
