and that, unless the husband can
earn enough to support both, the two
should not marry. In his judgement
one salary to a family is sufficient.
1t is possible that steps may be
taken to prevent the continuation in
the department of the women clerks
who were married before this order
was issued. One instance has been
discovered where such a clerk earns
$1,000 per annum and is married to
a male clerk in the Interior Depart
ment who earns $1SOO.
A number of simular instances
where the salaries paid either equal
those specified or are somewhat less
are known to exist.
In order to make the matter en-
tirely plain Mr.. Payne has directed
his bureau chiefs to prepare lists Of
all women clerks on their rolls who
are married and whose husbands are
now alive.

Lieht-Handed Plferer Caught at His
Own Game,


Jerry Nichols as he was familiarly
called, while a member of the State

down alongside Of fas lionably
dressed individual with sparkling
diamond in his shirt front. Jerry had
not gone very far when he missed his

ter a while his companion fell into a

saying: MY dear friend, you have my

money in it, but value it highly as a
present from a departed friend, and |
have here pretty gem. OF 'purest ray

MATRIMONY VINE AS

One of the prettiest and least a><d
vines for crnamentation, strange TO
say, is he Matrimony Vine, Lycin"
Chinense.
Whether the name is cause for
the disfavor with which it is regarded,
no one seems to know. 1t has some
think akin to thornes, to compel care
full handling. AS recompense, it hears
beautiful scarlet berries in the
autumn. In habit it is half vine, half
sturdy, upright plant; this fact, per-
haps, having something to do with
Its name. The foliage holds to ite

 7 That the Century A. c. of Los An geles Is anxious to have Jim Corbett appear under it's auspices and meet some good man is evident. A week ago the club agreed to give a purse of $10,O00 for a twenty round contest between Denver Ed Martin, Billy Madden's clever negro heavyweight, and Corbett, but up to date Corbett has not sent any reply. His tardiness has caEsed the Century people to be- lieve that "Pompadour Jim" has drawn the color line, and they have now offered similar sum for Corbett to tackle Gus Ruhlin instead. The western organization wishes to have the mill decided before the ex-cham- pion goes on with Jim Jeffries next May. Billy Madden, when he heard of the Century clubs latest offer, said: "The sum suits me to nicety and we accept. Ruhlin will be only too hap py, to meet Corbett and the latter can have any terms that are reasonable if he will only box Gus, which doubt. Ruhlin will fight him winner take all, or on a basis of 75 and % per cent, 65 and 35 per cent, or any old way. All we want is battle. that's all. Cor bett's silence towards Martin is a con- fession that he is afraid, and if he side tracks Ruh1in it will further indicate that he is only blufing. I will give Corbett ten days in which to file an answer.''
 Madden in the meantime will not remain idle. Billy has decided to lo- cate in the. east permanently and to this end has purchased the building formerly occupied by the Dyker Heights club, corner of Eighty-sixth street and Thirteenth avenue, Brook lyn. Madden, who has had many years experience in the capacity of trainer and manager, and who has de-. veloped number of noted heavy weight champions, will open the build ing on December l as a gymnasium, physical culture. health and social re treat The membership of the new club will be limited to 800, and the terms will be exceedingly liberal.
 Besides Madden. Ruhlin and Martin will be on hand to teach pupils how to box and wrestle. There will be special s'ladies' days"

Watson Made Discovery Which May
 Revolutionize Propulsion of Yachts.
 Glasgow, Nov S.-It is said here that in Shamrock III. there will be embodied some radical departures in yacht construction which have not appeared in any previous challenger. These changes are said to be due to an accidental discovery made during the trials of Shamrock and Sham rock II which convinced Designer Watson that there had been funda- mental error in the construction of all the recent cha1lengers.
 This discovery was made too late to admit of the remode1ing of Shamrock II, but when it's nature was explained to Sir Thomas Lipton he decided to try for the Americas cup third time. Both designers Fifa and Watson. are convinced that they possess solid data upon which they now will be able to build yacht superior to any previous cup racer. They are certain that they have evolved an idea which affects the whole theory of the propulsion of sailing yachts.

Some of the Latest Things in Femin- Sne Apparel for the Fall
 Season.

Sleeves are getting larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, reports the Chicago Daily News.
 Short skirts are surely growing in popularity. Linings separate from the skirt have proved unmana geable with long skirts and have added lit. tie nom entum to the movement for short skirts.
 For young girls evening dresses white will be used this winter. The materials will be in most eases white net, tulle or soft silk. The latter ma- terials may, be accordion-plaited and have insertions of lace. The bodices will be made laced in, the back and will have trans sparent sleeves Silver tis- sue covered with tulle makes pret- ty background for fine laces. as
 The smartest of the fall boas will be of soft treble box-plaited tulle. They will be very wide, extending to the point of the shoulder, and will have loops and ends of velvet ribbon. Elderly women will wear collar-shaped rufaes, with rosettes on the front and cascading frills. Pelerine ruff1es ot black chantilly. mingled with beautiful embroidery, are the smartest of fall collarettes.
 White serge and white cloth are to be in great vogue during the autumn The favorite trimming is white wool guipure lace and black velvet ribbon Sometimes a touch of color will be added by pompadour vest and, sash But white gown richly smbroidered in white. will have a distinctiapialt its own. It is a wonder that the wearing of handsome white wool is not always the mode with exclusive women, since by the nature of the case it is less easily copied by the multitude.

Waterbury Is Still Tn the League and
 HolYoke Is Not.

t 5 7
 New Haven, Nov S.-The Connecti- cut Baseball league held a meeting at the Hotel Garde last evening. All of the eight clubs were represented; by the managers. One application for membership was received. This was from Holyoke, Mass, and was made by Thomas Dowd, the old Boston Amer ican league player. The application was rejected after some discussion on the ground that there were no vacan- cies and that no changes would be made.
 The case of Manager Reisling of the Hartford club was taken up. He had previously been expelled from the Cap itof @0ity club and also fined S250 for his activity in signing some of the best players in the Connecticut league for the Toledo club, which he is to manage next year. The managers decided yes- terday to take no action relative to the fine as it did not ecomeF within the Jurisdiction of the league, it being ab- solutely a matter for settlement by. the club itself. Reisling's expulsion, however, was sustained, the league deciding that his action in turning over players to an outside team was treason to the league.
 The pennant was awarded to New Haven.
 Treasurer o'Ronrke's annual report showed balance of $50 in the treas ury.
 The annual election of officers re- suited as follows:
 President Sturgis Whitlock of Derby.
 vice-president- J. Danaher of Meriden
 Secretary and treasurer-James Fl. O'Rourke of Bridgeport.
 It was voted 10 hold the annual meetings of the league hereafter at the Hotel Garde in this city.
 The following were those present: F E. Canavan. New Haven; James F. O,Rourke. Bridgeport; 0. J. Danaher, Meriden: Roger Connor, Springfield; EP. Shea. New London: J. Tighe. Nor- wich: George Harrington, Waterbury; Manager Wiltse. Hartford.
 Jones. a pitcher. and Householder, an outfielder. are two new play just signed by Manager Hanlon of Brooklyn. Both men. come from Cal ifornia.
 It is understood that at the coming National league meeting the league will make an effort to rid itself of the S15,OO0 yearly rental for Manhattan field, which 1t pays to prevent a rival club from securing the property. l Hulswitt. the Philadelphia National league shortstop, whose name was in Ban Johnson's American league list for next year, will probably be with the Philadelphias again. Manager Shettsline has received a telegram l from Hulswitt, in which the latter says he will stick to his contract with the Philadelphias and also asks for advance money.
