ALLEGHENY'S FAILURE
NEW FORCE AT WORK ON ROCKS
OF WRECKED BANK.

PITTSBURG, Pa, October 25-A new
force of employees were at work today with
the books of the Enterprise National Bank
All the old employees except the bank mes
senger were notified by Receiver Cunning
nam that their services We're no longer
needed, and the new clerks We're at once
put to work. Receiver Cunningham re-
fused to assign his reasons for making the
change.

currency, who, report said yesterday. was
either in Pittsburg or coming to this city
to take permanent charge of the affairs Of

has not yet been located, and it is not be-
lieved he is here OF is coming at this time.
He is expected In Pittsburg shortly on pri-
vate business, however, when he will prob
ably look into the embarrassed institution.
A similarity of names, 1t is said, was re-
sponsble for the report Of his intended
visit. The fact that mail addressed to W.
B. Ridgely was at a local hotel gave Gre
dence to the story, but investigat ton
disclosed that the mail was for w. B.
Ridgely, an eastern salesman.
A Directors Session.
The bank directors were in session last
night night until long after midnight, and
when the meeting adjourned nothing as to
the proceedings was given out. It is said
the purpose or the meeting was to
range for the immediate collection of all
outstanding notes held by the bank Within
the past forty-eight hours many of the
notes have been lifted, but considerable
trouble Is resulting, it is said, over the dis
covery that in several instances the collat-
eraI that should have been attached to the
notes is missing. Whether this collateral
has been misplaced used has not yet
been determined. Officials Of the bank ad-
init that the collateral cannot be found but
hope that it will turn up in other banks
The investigation of the bank by Receiver
Cunningham would be greatly accelerated
If the value of the late cashiers estate was
known.
Steps for the immediate appointment of
appraisers to make an inventory have been
taken, but as the estate is practically scat
tered all over the country 1t will be some
cerning it.
Clark's local connections commercially
were of wide character, and his affairs
here are said to be in an almost hopelessIy
confused condition.

and treasurer, were held today and sue
cessor was chosen.
No resolutions regarding Clarks death
were adopted

FEMlNiNELY ATTRACTIVE.
The Tea-Gown a Costume Whose Womanliness Is Especially Liked
 by the Masculine Folk.

That the tea gown has come into it's own again is cause for rejoicing to every member of the sex feminine Not only has this informal style of garment al- ways been in favor with the gentler sex, but many a man has been heard to de- clare that woman always looks her daintiest and most womanly best when clad in the graceful. trailing draperies of . smart tea gown.
 We may one and all of US unanimous ly VOW and declare that we dress for our own pleasure alone, that the criticism. favorable or otherwise, of other women affects us not in the least. But, deep down in our hearts, whether we ac- Knowledge it to ourselves or not, cer- tain respect and liking for masculine ex- pressions of approval exists.
 The new tea gown. as it has come back to us, is quite different style Of garment from those which preceded it. It is not longer than the old gown, but it is decidedly looser, so loose, indeed, that to the uninitiated just where the differentiation between the tea gown and the negligee is to be made is some thing of problem. The boundary line is vague, to be sure, but the woman who makes even the slightest pretension of keeping up with the vagaries of Mime. La Mode can tell without an instant's hesitation which is negligee and which is tea gown.
 The characteristic and keynote of the new importations Of tea gowns is theWay in which they cleverly conceal and yet reveal the fascinating curves of the fig ure. For the new figure simply must have curves. The Parisienne. even in her most negligee moments, retains her corsets, and she prefers that some little hint. no matter how vague, be given as to the delicate proportions of her slen- der figure
 Hence it is that the tea gown Is now invariably constructed upon carefully boned and fitted lining. Sometimes the doublure Is en princesse, but far more often it is the usual corsage and skirt lining. cleverly joined together below the waistline-Chicag Record Herald.

smart; they must either be made of a color to correspond with the skirt or white.
 The fashion of two or three winters ago in the shirtwaist order, worn with embroidered turnover linen collar and cuffs and fastened with pretty studs is always good style to wear, with the plain tailor gowns. Then, for a more elaborate style, the bayadere- tucked chiffon or the lace waist with collar and pointed yoke and cuffs of applique work is most satisfactory and by no means impossibly intricate for an amateur.
 Long cloth wraps are fashionable this winter, both for afternoon and evening wear, and there are few more sensible purchases for a woman of limited means than a smart cloth wrap.
 Black. as we'll as light, cloths are fashionable this season, the smooth satin-finished cloth, and while heavy ecru embroidery or lace adds to the elaborate appearance of the garment, quite as smart an effect is obtained by the more simple style that has long lines af braid from the shoulder to the hem at the back of the coat. as we'll as in front.-St. Louis Republic.

ABOUT SEPARATE WAISTS.
Should Match the Skirt in Color, But the Material May Be of
 Wide Variety.

Separate waists have taken a new lease of life in spite of the fact that it is still the fashion to have waist and skirt of the same material.
 The truth is that so long as street costumes are made with skirt and coat TO match separate waists will be ne- cessity. There are quite a number of new designs in these waists-some very simple, others elaborate
 All of the latter are made with fitted Things, and gre of silk, crepe de chine, lace or chiffon.

JOINT NAVAL AND MILITARY
WILL BE READY TO MAKE
REPORT.
May be Able to Reduce the Original
Estimates on Expenditures Sew
eraI Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-The
joint naval and military board, called
to consider the so-called Endicott
plan of coast defenses, has been hold
soon be ready to submit its report to
the president. The work has beer di
vided into sections in charge Of sub
committees, which are making their
Investigations and preparing their re-
ports, which documents will he incor-
porated in the complete report of the
committee of which Secretary Taft is
the nominal head. 1t is proposed to
have the report ready to submit to
congress at the coming session, al
though the incident is not regarded
as of much Importance, since it will
have no special bearing on the appro-
years to come. 1t looks as if it would
be possible to reduce the original esti-
and achieve the same results of de-
Tense against an enemy from the sea
as was contemplated by the Endicott
board of twenty years or more ago.
The principal subject recently under
discussion was that in relation to the
submarine in its office as part Of the
coast defense. One proposition has
been to do away with submarine min
ing. but the artillerists do not share
any such confidence in the boat as to
admit it's value as a substitute for the
mines. The submarine boats will,
however, have a prominent place In
the plans of the new coast defence pro
iect. That much has been decided. 1t
will be used in defense of the coast
forts and along the shore on the ap-
proach of an enemy
