PENSIONERS CAN HOLD OFFICE.
STITUTIONAL CHARTER SECTION
DISQUALIFYING THEM.

Justice Leventritt. n the Supreme Court.
yesterday bonded down opinion holding that
Section i $50 of the charter, which diSquaH-
fes pensioners from holding office under the
city government. was unconstitutional and void.
The decision in a test case brought on be-
half of the retired policemen and f1remen
through a petition filed by Alexander Price,
retired policeman. who applied for reinstate-
ment as section foreman in the Department Of
Street Cleaning. The case was argued in Janu-
airy by Roger Foster for the pensioners. As
sistant Corporation Counsel Theodore Connolly
opposed him. Justice Leventritt said. in part:
am of the opinion that this provision is vio-
Iative of the State Constitution. and primarily
Of Article L Section l, which commands that no
member of the State shall be disfranChised, or
deprived of any of the rights privileges Sc
cured to any citizen thereof, unless by the law
of the land or the judgment of his peers The
provision strikes me. at least, as so obviously
unconstitutional that cannot omit even at the
risk, perhaps. of departure from an unwr1tten
rule of practice, briefly to state the reasons or

A MEANINGLESS THING.

Critics allege that the modern Eng
fish woman's smile Is fast becoming a
meaningless thing from over and in
discriminate use, says the London
Graphic. There is some truth in the
statement, for, when one comes to
think Of it, almost any remark one
makes to the merest acquaintance,
even on first introduction, is met
by a smile. There is no mirth in it
it is only muscular movement made
seemingly, to show polite interest. 1t
reminds one of the Japanese woman
who must always smile, even in deep
est sorrow or distress of mind, and
who must never on any account show
depressed countenance in public, or
even in the family circle, should she
be addressed by a relative to whom she
owes respect.
The effort to initiate the vivacity of
our American sisters is supposed to
be at the root of the continual smile
to be seen on the countenances of mod
ern women, but smile alone will
never make a countenance pleasing,
unless it expresses some lively inter
est or feeling. Too many sweets cloy
the appetite, and smiles always in evil
Genoe become valueless and unmean-
ing. Repose is needed nowadays in
nearly every direction, and nowhere
more than on the faces of women.

clrard Was Considerable.

One of the sea captains in the en-
ploy of Stephen Girard had rural
Yankees fondne5s for whiting with
his jackknife, and on one trip sue
ceeded in getting away with large
part of the rail, although, feeling that
he was not without the artistic sense,
he really regarded the rail as greatly
improved in appearance. When the
vessel came to Philadelphia Girard
went aboard, made general inspec-
ton in the captains absence, and, as
he was about to return to shore, asked
one of the seamen who had been cut
ting the rail. The seaman told him
the captain, and then, afraid his tell
ing might have unpleasant conse-
quences were the captain to learn of
it in a roundabout way, informed that
official of the interview with Girard.
The captain was in terror of repri-
mand, but, hearing nothing from his
employer, supposed the incident
closed AS he was about weighing
anchor ready to leave port, dray
loaded with shingles drove down to
the wharf, and the driver hailed the
vessel spf
"Thefes must be some mistake!
shouted the captain. "Our bill of
lading doesn't mention shingles!"
"This is where they belong!" sung
back the driver. "Mr. Girard, him
self, told me to deliver them! He
said they're for the captain to whit.

A pretty tulle yelling has small stars
at the angles of the fine threaded
plaids running through it.
In the coats for fall wear the sleeves
are much smaller than they have
been.
A felt hat which shows the popular
bright green has the crown of the
green, the rim white, and the narrow
binding on the edge of green.
About the smartest thing in the way
of snow-white sea-lion lined with white
MORE silk, and fastening with gill
or black buckle.
Different colored stones surrounded
with diamonds are considered the rea
thing in the way of shirt-waist sets
AS far as possible no two stones arc
alike.
The emerald-green suede wrist bags
with elaborate mountings in all met
ais, and having long, heavy chains, are
still holding their own.
A pretty blue and white parasol has
body of dark blue, with satin stripes
an inch wide of white and blue. The
border is half an inch wide of white
and blue.
Brocaded effects in cotton fabrics
and mohairs will be among the fal
novelties.
Sheer. white lawn is the fabric of 6
shirt waist which is given a touch Of
color by having inserted between clus
tiers of fine tucks very narrow bands
of blue lawn held together with white
fagoting. The stock and tie are made
to match.
