MAY FORM NEW ORDER
Deposed Members of the Woodmen of
America Seek to Form Rival Order

Deposed Members of the Woodmen of
America Seek to Form Rival Order
T. w. Newman Of Milwaukee, we'll
known here, who was removed on Au-
gust from the position of head org
anizer of Modern Woodmen IN Mil
waukee, at salary of $1,000 year,
is said by friends, enemies and depu-
ties that worked under him to have
contemplated organizing new fra
erna1 order to compete with Modern
Foodmen aud other orders for Wis
consin business.
This idea of Mr.. Newman that he
could branch out for himself is said
to be the main reason urged for his
removal as supervising deputy in Mil
waukee. For the good Of the Modern
Woodmen and the sister order, the
Royal Neighbors, the national execn-
tive boards Of both orders put their
heads together to devise plan to re-
store harmony.
"Peace has again decended upon
US, !" said Wcodman yesterday, TAX
ing long breath. "Mr. Newman,
who was at the head Of the Woodmen
in Milwaukee was compelled to abdi-
cate, although he swore month ago
that he would not give up his power.
Mrs. L. M. Parks, supervising deputy
of Royal Neighbors in Wisconsin, and
leader of the opposition against Mr..
Newman, was not treated so harsh1y
by her national executive board, pos
sib1y because they are women. She
was politely asked to move away from
Milwaukee, and she went to MeDasha
her old home
Now that Mr.. Newman is deposed,
his acquaintance are not afraid to
say that he has planned to start a new
| fraterna1 order. There is money in
being at the head of fraterna1 in
surance order. Wisconsin laws are
not favorable, but by taking slice
from an established order, the BUSH
ness could be we'll launched. Laws
in some states are not so stringent.
1t is believed by some that Mr.. New
man has not yet given up his hope of
becoming the father of company.

Board Of Police, Fire Commits.
sion and Council Committee
Recommend Increase
PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTIONS AID
1T is Thought That Chief Barr Will
Remain in the Employ of the City
With This Sa1ary-No Other
Business Transacted

It is very probable that Chief of the
Fire Department James S. Barr, who
recently signifed his intention to
sever his connection with the depart
ment, will remain in the employ of
the city, for at joint meeting Of the
police and fire commission, the COM
mittee of the common council, and a
special committee from the volunteer
fire department held at the city hall
Wednesday night steps we're taken to
place the salary of the chief at much
higher figure and one at which it is
thought that the chief will consider
enough to keep him in the employ of
the city.
The commission recommended that
the council increase the salary of the
chief to 81, 200 year. 1t is claimed
that private interests in the city
which are DESTROYS of showing their
approval of the work of the chief will
aid in a material way and that private
gifts will bring the salary Of the chief
up to 81, 500 a year. Chief Barr has
made no statement in regard to his
action in case the council takes the
action recommended, but it is under
stood that he will remain.
For some time the matter ofincreas-
ing the salary of the chief has been
under discussion among the members
of the different committees interested
and several of the members of the fire
and police commission we're in favor
of placing the salary at 81 500 at this
time. Others held that the financial
condition of the city would not war
rant so large an increase in single
year and sought moderate increase
for this year with the understanding
that the council would be asked to
raise the salary again next year. All
of the members of the various COM
nittees insisted that the work of Mr..
Barr for the department could not
be estimated in dollars and cents and
that it would be a bad set back to the
department to allow the chief to sever
his connection at this time.
The chief has taken a pride in the
de partment which has largely been
built up under his able management
and for this reason he was willing to
practically give his services to the
city so long as he had other en-
p1oyment. However, the chief, like
all other men, is forced to make d liv-
ing and he has had several attractive
offers which would pays him more in
dollars and cents than the Office with
the increased salary. The recon-
mendation of the commission will be
laid before the council at its next
regular meeting and it is expected
that the council will ratify the action
at that time.
The commission did not take up
several petty charges which have
been launched against mem bers Of
the police force, but meeting of the
commission will be called for Friday
afternoon at which time these COM
plants will be taken up and disposed
of.

MOURNING GOWNS.

The Best Materials and Trimminas
For These SOmbeR Costumes.
1t is small but no less real ray OF
comfort to the person who Is obliged
to put on mourning attire to know that
this very garb gives dignity and at
traction to any woman and even a
sort Of beauty to those who are not
beautiful. Just as a letter bordered
with black carries a stamp of its own,
so does the mourning garment cause
one who comes in contact with the
Wearer to take notice of her, and fire.
querftly new, grace and dignity are
recognized.
The mourning styles in this country
are not SO strictly adhered to as In
England and some other countries but
still the wearing of black garments
and Grape has it's rules, and most per-
sons follow them. Black garments
are the costliest and the shortest lived,
but while they are worn the Wearer
Is sure not only Of sympathy, but Of
the admiration of all. Few, If any,
ornaments are worn; so the mourning
garb must gain its distinction from the
beauty Of the material of which 1t is
made and from the application Of
Grape Indeed, some of the mourning
gowns are marvels of beauty. Grape
Of three or four varieties is applied
and in so many pretty fancies that
they could not all be enumerated. Ital-
ian Grape is thin and has a narrow
vale, while the French Grape is also
thin, but has deep crinkle. Chinese
and japanese grapes are generally
more Opaque, but none the less beauti-
full, and they drape more gracefully.
All these are used largely in rufnes,
rQches, folds and reversed plaitings.
but it is only the English Grape Of
olden times that is employed for panels
and deep folds and coverings for
mourning gowns. One shown this
week had the skirt Of eudora cloth,
which is silk and WOOL very rich and
fine, and also firm. The Grape Is laid
up over the skirt to within eighteen
inches of the waist and completely
covers it, and around the bottom, super
posed on this Grape, are three three
inch folds Of the Grape folded in the
opposite direction A word Of explana-
ton may be Of use here.
Grape cut on the straight looks as IL
cut bias, while bias Grape has the GRIN
kles straight up and down. So, by cut
ting some Of the Grape bias and shtr-
ring or, ruf1ing it, one gets quite a diff
fereut effect The crinkles all run from
right to left diagonally. So, if two
folds are cut one after the other and
one is turned upside down, the creases
run different ways, and thus many
new effects can be produced. When
Grape is to be sewed on curved place
the bottom should be sewed down first,

made in some occult manner which
renders it waterproof, a most excellent
thing

worn and little jeWelry, which must

young widow worn with a bat and

silk or the more elegant eudora. There
are three wide panels of the Grape to
the waist and between them a scooped

The waist Is exceptionally graceful
and d1gnifed, in surplice shape, with
deep Grape revers. The tie at the neck

Many handsome gowns are made Of
silk warp henrietta or melrose as well
as eudora, and for trimming there are
figures and ruchings made Of Grape,
sometimes put on in fanciful designs.
The old so called milliner's folds are
very well liked. These are made by
cutting a piece across the width and

WOMEN ARE BARRED
Postmaster Genera Issues Notice
Against Employment Of Women
as Rural Mail Carriers
MEN TO HAVE FIRST CHANCE

The rural examining board at Wash
ington, D. c., has practically decreed
that the department will have no more
women rural mail carriers. AT least
such construction is placed upon the
rules for the regulation Of civil ser
vice examinations recently promu1-
gated by the Board and signed by j..
D. King, chairman.
Paragraph 13 of the rules, in the
opinion of those familiar with the sit
uation, acts as an effectua1 bar to the
further employment of women in the
rural service. Heretofore women have
been treated on an equal basis with
men and if they made the proper
showing in competitive examination
and stood highest in the test their
appointment as regular carriers fol-
lowed, there being no discrimination
whatever on account of sex. Some
thing seems to have happened to
change the opinion of the postofice
department about employing women
as rural carriers and the edict has
gone forth to engage only men except
in cases where no men can be secured.
This is the substance of Rule -,
which reads as follows:
Women will not be certified while
a register contains the names of male
eligib1es."
This rule was discovered by lady
who expected to take the rural exam
ination to be held at the Belvidere
postohice next Saturday, and when
she found that she was practically
barred out Of the rural service she
expressed herself quite vigorously,
characterizing the ruleas an injustice
to women. "There is lady carrier
at Capron in Lake county and she per-
forms the service, am told, to the
satisfaction of all patrons and they
would have no one else. | have read
of other cases where women have
served as rural carriers and there was
no fault to be found Now the post
office department tells the women to
stand back and gives public notice
that they will not be employed if men
can be found to take the places, and
everybody knows that such a rule
means the absolute disbarment from
the rural service of women as ten
men can be found to take every va
cancy on the rural routes, and the
women can now stay home and take
care of the Kitchen
There are two women employed as
substitute rural carriers in this coun-
ty, but it is not thought the ruling
will force them to give up their po-
sitions.
