Public Printer Ousted.

Washington, Special.-Public Printer
F. w. Palmer practically has been
ousted from office. 1t was learned au-
thoritatively that President Roosevelt
has demanded Mr.. Palmer's resigna-
ton to take effect on the 18th instant.
The demand Of the President for Mr..
Palmer's resignation was due prima-
rily to the latter's action in trying to
force Oscar j. Ricketts, and L. G. Hay
out of the Government Printing Office.
Mr.. Palmer asked for the resignation OF
Rockets and Hay on the ground that
they had been insubordinate.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

The South Carolina section OF the
climate and crop service Of the De-
partment of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin Of weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The week ending Monday, Scptem-
Der 18th began with very cool weather
but tie warmth increased to above
normal BY its close, making the a'-
erage temperature for the week ABOUT
normal. The extremes were a max
imum of 9S degrees at Blaekville and
Florence on September 1st and Ind
and a minimum of 80 degrees at
Greenville on August 29th and 3Oth.
The week was generally clear with
increasing cloudiness during the last
two days. The relative humidity
was uniformly low.
Over the greater portion OF the
State there was no rain during the
week, and in places the ground Is be-
coming dry and the need OF moisture
is indicated, especially in the coast
truck districts; showers were general,
though mostly light, over the western
&alf of the State beginning on the
night of the 1st aud continuing to
the close; there were also rams IN
the eastern tier of counties with oc-
cassional heavy showers.
On the whole. tie weather was
favorable for general farm work, es-
pecially for haying and saving fodder
and for picking cotton. In localities
where the soil has been too wet here
tofore ii dried sufficiently to permit
gardening and plowing. Some oats
have been sown in the central coun-
ties.
Cotton continues to deteriorate on
sandy lands owing to rust and en-
cessive shedding. so that practically
the plants have ceased to grow or
fruit and nearly all the top crop has
dropped off: on clay lands the condl-
tions are better, but rust has ap-
peared in places. On sandy lands
cotton opened rapidly, and picking
made rapid progress over the eastern
and central counties and will be gem
cral over the western ones during the
coming week. On clay lands it is just
beginning to open freely. Cater pill
lars continue numerous on sea-island
cotton.
Tobacco curing is finished. Rice
harvest is underway and somc has
been thrashed. Peas and sweet po-
tatoes are doing well. Pastures con-
tinue good. Strawberrie plants, be-
ing set ont. Fall truck being planted
extensively in the coast districts but
the soil IS too dry for favorable ger
mination.-J. W. Bauer, Section Dl-

Charged With Bigamy.

Anderson, Special.-Will Rowland,
mill operative, has been lodged in
Jail on charge of bigamy. Both Of
his alleged wives are living in this
county, and it was upon warrant
taken out by his second mother-in-law
that he was arrested at Toccoa, Ga,
and brought back to this city. He will
probably be tried for his offense at
the approaching term of the sessions

CAVE JEWELLERS
Strange Nickname Bestowed on Certain
H. Society Circle.

The term "cave-dwellers," which is ap-
piled to certain circle in Washington So
ciety, is mystifying. Not long ago, 1t is
related in the February Delineator, new
conner in the capital city heard the name
and determined to get at the bottom of
it. When she finally met one Of the real
cave-dwellers, a stately old dame, she
asked her point blank why she called her
self a cave -dweller. and the answer clears
away the mystery surrounding the nick
name, which, aftho it was derisively Hbe-
slowed, is now regarded as hallmark
Of distinction and exclusiveness.

old lady, Star UP on Pennsylvania avenue.
near the line of Georgetown. Washington,
you must know, has been this many a
year a bit too garish for some of us old
residents. and, like David, we have gone
to, our caves. You know about David, my
dear, who took refuge from Saul in the

fled from Saul, Saul being in this case In

money than manners, with more pride

honorable appellation and is assumed by
many who really should not claim It, but
it has become rather a generic name. It
was meant tn reality only to cover the
names of gentlefolk Of high degree and
long lineage, who cannot subscribe to the
vulgar ostentation Of the idle new-rich
who have come to our capital city and set
mable, moderately rich people here who
take refuge behind the appellation OF
ve-dweners when they have no lineage
behind them whatsoever. s

PENSION GRANTED BY KING CHARLES

An ms iration came to one Of the
Testers and in trice the prince was
hidden in the big old clock case that
stood in the hall. The door was fast

soldiers and their baying hounds were
already at the door. Charles could
hear the questions and answers and the
clatter of the soldiers spurs as. they
ransacked the manor sounded in his
ears. Every room and passage, every
closet and corner was examined, but the
search, was fruitless, and at last the
batfled pursuers went away and the
prince was hurried to place Of greater
safety
It was in recognition of this service
that pension Of 500 guineas a year
was granted to the head Of the family,
after Charles assembled the throne. It
was to be perpetual and descend to the
oldest living member. Mrs. Birming-
ham belongs to the older branch, and in

to receive the official notification Of her
inheritance. 49,
Mrs. Birmingham was born in Phila-

Her parents came from England about
sixty years ago. AT Mrs. Birmingham Is

The Romantic Inheritance of a Phila-

Pension Rewarded the Testers.

Mrs. DECATUR BIRMINGHAM of
Nl Philadelphia has inherited a roy,
al pension granted by England
over 200 years ago to an ancestor, Tor
saving the life Of the Merry Mon
arch,O Charles II.
The story is as romantic as one could
wish, and began away. back when
Charles was a hunted prince, escaping
from Cromwell's soldiers. Capture
meant imprisonment for life, and posi-,
bly, death on the scaffold, and he sought
refuge in the manor house Of the Les
terss, near birmingham. The Testers
had always been staunch loyalists and
the exhausted and discouraged prince
threw himself at once on their protec-
tion. There was little time to plan con-
cealment, for the pursuers were close on
the prince's heels, and altho the old
manor had many a nook and Granny in
which a man might be concealed. the
search would be too thoro to risk hiding
the Stuart in any of them.
No one but the family knew Of the
royal presence, and who could tell if the
servants could be trusted9 It was a
time when men suspected their brothers
and sons their fathers. What could be

/ Children's Fashions Not Rigid.
| Children s costumes follow the gen.
eral fashions, but, with the exception
of party frocks, they are not nearly as
fussy as those of their older sisters
The little model selected for illustra-
ton is good example Of the general
trend Of the mode for little girls
froeks;, they vary, of course, in ma,
are full, come just below the knees,
are either plain or trimmed fiat, and
gathered or plated into the waistband.
The bodices come to natural waist
line, are fulled on the waistband, and
finished by a wide, soft girdle, which
on wash frocks often ends in a sash at
the back. Sleeves follow the general
trend, full above and close below the
| elbow, but in the summer frocks elbow
sleeves predominant, and with these
long lace mitts will be worn for walk
ing.
Children's clothes must be first Of
all comfortable, and secondly childlike,
only following the fashions where they
are appropriate. Common sense is the
best guide here, as in all else We love
Ito see children look picturesque, and
certainly more license is permitted in
this respect for children than for their
elders, but it is in bad taste to en-
barrass the poor child by an undue dis
play Of ones own fancy, making her
(! a mark of criticism and inducing 4
most undesirable self-consciousness.
Economy Of Good Materials.
Materials selected for children s wear
should always be of the best Procura-
! BILE; this is economy in the end, fer
children will be children, and accidents
will happen. Fast celors, strong, dur
able, non-shrinkable, are some of the
desirable qualities to look for in ma
terials, both wool and linen. Linen
shrinks considerably, and this must be
, allowed for in making, or, better still,
the material well shrnnken before cut
ting, the same as one does with wool
ems. Mixtures of wool and cotton, as
also linen and cotton, or silk, do not
shrink nearly as much as the pure ma
terials. Speaking of silks, the strong
natural weaves of pongee and Shantung
I are excellent for children's wear, and
make up either simply or in more elab-
crate designs with most satisfactory
results.
