A BLOW TO "CLIQUEs."a-Mrs. Will
liam Astor has decreed that there shall
no longer be any sets or cliques in New
port society for the making up of the
list for her grand ball, of Monday,
August 10. She has included everybody
who is spending the summer at Newport
with whom she has an acquaintance.
On Monday she sent out more than 400
invitations, and as after all she is con-
sidered the real leader of society,", the
matter is regarded as very significant,
and is taken to mean that she tiisapproves
decidedly of what are commonly known
as social barriers. AS her daughter-in-
law, Mrs John Jacob Astor, is in mourn
ing, Mrs. Astor's daughter, Mrs. NJ.
Orme Wilson, will receive with her.
The ball will be the grandest function of
the season.

Valuable Time Saved.

Slight injuries often disable man
and cause several days loss of time and
when blood poison develops, sometimes
result in the loss of a hand or limb.

septic liniment. When applied to cuts,
bruises and burns it causes them to heal
quickly and without maturation, and
prevents any danger of blood poison.

Isabella P. Voss, who had practiced in
Richmond for many years, committed
suicide last night, to avoid the shame of
being prosecuted for conspiring TO cause
the death of an infant. She drank aconite
and died in ashort while. Mrs. Voss and
a well-known young man were arrested
last week on the grave charge of conspir-
ing to cause the death OF baby girl.
The infant had been left in the care of
Mrs. VOss, but she declined to keep it
longer, and the young man, by her advice,
placed it in charge of negro to be taken
to the station house. The negro became
alarmed and left the basket in an alley.
The arrest followed and the case was to
have been heard in the Police Court to-
day. 1t so weighed on the mind of Mrs.
Voss that she killed herself She was a
native of Madrid, sixty years old, and
had been in Richmond twenty-five years.

UNION JOURNEYMEN BARRIERS III 1reh-
ton, n. j., have begun a crusade to Sc
cure the work of shaving all corpses.
They have promise ofsupport from union
undertaken helpers. The BARRIERS also
ask all union men to assist them by CIV
ing orders before death that they must
only be shaved after the union provision.
Union coach drivers will not serve al
anv funeral where it is known that the
corpse was shaved by non-uniOn man.
According to this q section providing
that the testator must be shaved by a
union barber at death is to be inserted
in wills hereafter, and should the direc-
ton not be carried out undertakes and
hackmen will play no part in sepulture.
The turmoils incident to labor agitatiOns
and the claims of unions are harrassing
enough in life; are they to follow us In
TO the other world?

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY %, 1908.

IT Is announced with a flourish OF
trumpets in Washington that there has
been no change in the Presidents policy
regarding the postal investigation, ana
tbatsbe is still determined that all guilty
officials shall be punished, regardless oil
nolitic9l influence. Notwithstanding
which announcement, however, 1t Is
openly stated that the President viii not
countenance legal proceedings against
Mr.. Perry Heath, former First Assistant
Postmaster General, whose name has
been so conspicuously mentioned in con-
nection with the postal scandals, because
of his personal association with the re-
nublican national committee and doubt
less lest such proceedings might BRING
more scandal upon the admlnlstra-
ton. After Friday Mr.. Heath Will
become immune from prosecution ior
any '.irregularities" whileserving as AS
sistant Postmaster General, his connec-
ton with the department ending three
wears ago, July 81. The statute Of hmi-
tation becomes operative at the expira-
ton of three years from the retirement
Of an official. The Presidents action Is
said to have been based on the earnest
pleadings of Senator Hanna, Postmaster
General Payne and Others who have
recently visited Oyster Bay. Owing t'
the lapse of three years since Heath wa
connected with the department nothing
will be done concerning him, no matter

Hon. William A. Jones has nitro
duced a bill in Congress providing for
the retirement of life-savers on pen
sions after certain time of service,
and is hopeful of seeing the bill be-
come law at an early day.
That they deserve the pensions, no
one will question, who is at all fami-
liar with the hard work which enters
into their daily life, the dangers and
hardships to which they are constant
ly subjected and the acts Of heroism,
which in the line of their duties they
are often called upon to perform. That
they are entitled to such recognition
on the part of the Government, no one
will deny, who is willing to give a rea-
sonable compensation for services rem
dered if at all advised as to the
amount of property and number OF
lives saved by them. That they should
receive the pensions without further
delay few, of the many reasons, are
given in late interview by Mr.. Jones
as follows:
Congress has recent passed law
providing for the retirement of mem
bers of the revenue cutter service, anC
l see no reason why it should not ar
