GOOD OLD TIMES.
i1adison Ladies Enjoy Function
Fashioned After Colonial
Days.

For novelty and elegance, the social
function at the parlors of Odd Fellows
hall yesterday afternoon surpassed any
thing of the kind in Madison for many
months. The hostesses We're Mrs.
Clough, Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Cook, Mrs.
Rowe, Mrs Schmidt, Mrs Sheridan.
The event was on the colonial order in
honor of Washington birthday. The
parlors were tastefullv decorated with
flags and patriotic emblems of the olden
time, and the hostesses and many OF
the guests appeared in colonial cos
tunes and in the fashions of the 50s
and Cos. Many elegant gowns OF the
fashionable ladies of those days were in
evidence, and while they looked some
what out of style in this age of rapid
changes in fashions, they evoked feel
ing of reverence for the good taste and
refinement of the ancestors Of those who
appeared in them yesterday. Fifty
years hence, perhaps, the granddaughter
of the young matrons of the present
day will likewise don the 1905 gown
| laid away as a sacred treasure, and il
will no doubt appear very odd and III
congruou, in the eyes of the happy
laughing young women of that future
generation. But to AS of today tnt
fashionable gown of today is dream
of perfection.
Something about the fashioned
gowns brought to the company some
thing of the good old fashioned sociabil
ity and neighborhood greetings of th'
olden time and rare good cneer wa
supreme during the afternoon. Goo
old martial music with fife and drum
inspired the company with the patriot,

Mrs. Navarro suffered some painful
bruises from the fall, but was not .Seri-

and bent all his energies to getting it.
Detective Matheson was detailed on
the case. He visited the scene Of the
robbery yesterday afternoon, accom-
panied by Mrs. Navarro and Mrs. ZEz-
zi and traced the route that the thief
had taken. Mrs. Navarro said:

AS the result of the Supervisors
Finance Committee, refusing to allow
the building bureau the sum of $2100
during April, May and June the Board
of Works decided yesterday that the
services of several mechanics must
be dispensed with. The fund for re-
pairs to the City Hall and Hall of
Justice is exhausted, and an appeal
for additional funds to carry on ne
cessary repairs during the next three
months was denied. All that the COM
mittee would do was to prom
ise to pass on any acquisitions
made by department heads for re-
pairs and allow the bare sum neces-
sary for the work. AS a consequence
four carpenters will be laid off and
but two retained to do the repair
work. One of these will be assigned
to the Fire Department. One plumber,
M. Hogan, .will take A. Bertram' s
place in the Fire Department, and
Bertram will have to, take chances for
employment as the occasion may re-
quire. j. Hudson will retain his
place as plumbers helper. Requisi-
tions for repairs are coming in all the
time, but none will be honored ex-
cept upon approval by the Finance

Fight Is On in Earnest and
Attorney Kahn Declares
That It Will Be Carried
Forward With ALI Vigor

Former Chief of Police Whitman yes
terday filed suit in the Superior Court
for a writ of mandate directing the
Police Commissioners to reinstate him
at the head of the department. The
| case was assigned to Judge Hunts
court and the hearing was set for
April Z.
The fight is on in earnest said
Attorney julius Kahn yesterday. THE
Police Commission has been guilty of
gross outrage in dismissing Chief
Whitman and we shall not submit to
1t. l am very confident as to the out
come. The board exceeded its author
ity; its actions throughout the case
were unlawful in many instances and
there will be little difficulty in show
ing that we were not granted a fair
and impartial trial. as the charter
commands.
| You may say that we shall carry
on the case in the courts to the last
ditch, now that we have decided on
that course. l feel that the merit of
our appeal to the courts guarantees a
successful outcome. In any event the
Commissioners will find that Whitman
is of the kind to fight back with all his
strength when he has been subjected to
outrageous treatment"

the court by the former Chief:
