WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

President Roosevelt h a 8
heen bafhpd in his attempt
to override the wishes of the
entire white popoulation of
Charleston, s. C., and disre-
gard the wishes OF the Senate
by appointing Or" Curm.
colored, to the position Of
collector of the port OF that
rity. 1t will be remembered
that he President twice sent
the Crum nomination to the
Senate and the Senate as Of
ten failed to confirm it, in
one instance practrally vO-
ting to report on it unfavoI-
ably. Alter the Senate ad-
jOurned Mr.. Roosevelt Hp-
pointed Crum as a rsress ap
pOlntment but now the treas
ury department refuses to al
low him any fees on the
ground that he has been lille
gally appointed, a conten-
ton clearly upheld by an ex>
plicit law, The only h op e
which Crun can entertain Of
rereiying pay for the time he
has served is through "A spp>
cial act of Congress which is
regarded as most remote. II
the Senate will confirm him
next winter he can draw his
fees from the date of such con
firmation, but there is no
more reason to anticipate
that the Senate will confirm
him in the future than there
was when he was first nOmi-
mated.
CONSERVATION has been a.
reused in the Postoffice De-
partment by a warning Civ
en- to a colOred carrier on a
rural delivery route running
out OF Gallatin, Tenn. to the
effect that no colored man
can carry the mails, The pres
ent incumbent, John G. ALL
good, is the second carrier
on the route which was estab
lished March /, the first hav,
ing resigned, it is presumed,
because of a similar warning
The route has been discon>
tinued pending an investiga-
tion. Allgood was appoints
ed by a provision OF the CIVIL
Service law which leaves no
discretion with the postal au
thorities. In this connection
a report has reached Wash
ington to the effect that nc
negroes are to be permitted
to handle the mail in t h
South and it is feared that
much trouble will ensue. ReE
resentative Gaines. who is
! now in Washington, gave ar
explanation OF the situation
to your correspondent. Mr.
Gaines said there was no de-
nying that the Southern pee
pie objected to colored mai
carriers because they were
colored, but the objection
rose from fear. In the rura
districts the heads OF the fan
lily and all grown males wer'

An alarm was sent in TO the fire de-

o'clock from Water street, between Pike

set fire to a large pile of brush and trash
lying on the Elk reek bank, and sew

thinking the blaze might spread to the
nearby wooden stables and outhouss,
caused the alarm to be sent in for the

Liquor Men to Come to Him.

Grafton, W. Va, March l9.-The game
of hide and seek played by the liquor
men OF EIkins and Judge Holt came to
an end Tuesday. After the liquor men
had missed him at several places Judge
Holt settled down IN Grafton and wait
ed for the parties to appear, which they
did.
Attorney Wamley appeared for the
saIoonists and Attorney Baker for the
friends OF the new council, or rather
for the new council itself, and after hear
ing the motion The Judge refused to en-
terrain it, which has the same effect
virtually as would a writ of prohibition
against the old Wuncil issuing licenses
10 the saloons for the coming year. This
case has attracted considerable attention
especially at ElkR. and will settle def
nitcly the right d an outgoing council
to issue license for the sale OF intoxi'
canting liquors for the year, jurisdiction
over which properly belongs to the in.

tendency to be tlght-fitting A trim
appearance certainly has its charms
for the country.
The new short skirts are nearly all
cut plain over the hips, and all the
fullness comes at the hem. Some are
made with separate killed flOunce
put on invisibly under strappings of
cloth or tweed, The Old-fashioned idea
Of short skirt was a skinny con-
Germ, and most unbecoming to the ma
jority Of women, giving them the ap-
pearance Of being insufficiently clothed.
This is the fault, to my mind, of many
of the linen frocks.
Now, with the advent of tailor-built
coats and skirts we must consider the
question of suitable shirts and blouses
for there are many hot days when we
can dispense with the coat With the
exception of white, a blouse of con-
trasting color is a mistake. For in
stance, with brown serge skirt, what
looks smarter than a brown taffeta or
spotted foulard shirt? You can always
add white muslin turnover collar
and cuffs.
The country shirt is very important,
and should be worn over a well-fitting
slip. Above all, it should have we'll
cut high collar.
But the seasons rush past us at a
speed that cannot be lessened, and
though we are now but at the begin
ming of autumn early winter will be
upon us before we realize it, and SO
let us take a little preliminary peep
at what the coming season will bring
