IN JAn, THEY BOSS TOWN.
Schemes Resorted to by Pennsylvania school Grafters to Avoid
 Process of Custer.

Pottsville (Penn) Special to Philadel-
 phia Record.
 The astounding revelation that the grating Shenandoah police force and school directors. now ip jail here, have been able to dictate the action of the Borough council here, notwithstanding 8 their incarceration for conspiracy to extort fees. has caused a stir and the Taxpayers Association has started an investigation.
 The object of the imprisoned police men was to get men appointed to their places temporarily so that wher their term of Imprisonment expired they could take their old jobs. One of the temporary policemen appointed is brother of one of the men in jail. anc the other is a close political friend.
 It was the knowledge of this state of affairs which led the court to promptly grant the mandamus on the Councilmen, compelling them to re- ceive the vote of Samuel Stahl, in place of William McGargle, now of Phila- delphia, but who wanted to return to his place as n Councilman.
 This action gave the Democrats working majority and ample power st their meeting tonight to throw out the men who were working to keep the jailbirds in office and elect new force.
 That the Shenandoah school dlrec- tors now In jail for extorting brihes from teachers also want to hold on to their offices Is indicated by the follow ing truly pathetic letter from the men

characteristic of the teacher. She wants everything to be done right and can't help showing her superiority when a mistake is made. She is far too assertive. and often in listening to her you feel like a small child in a class room with your lesson badly learned.
 Now 1t happens that nine men out of ten do not like the assertive wo- many pretty schoolteachers. otherwise very attractive. are left to teach school to the end of their days
 It seems a pity. when you come to think of 1t. for women with brains and education are sadly needed in the mat rimonial field.
 Among the seasons dress novelties may be mentioned sampler belts" These are merely strips of canvas worked with the old fashioned sampler stitch into a conventional design.
 The Greek key pattern Is an ideal one for a belt. and I have seen it most charmingly carried out in blue and green. One of the latest collar and belt sets is of wide silk mohair braid. The tie of the stock is run through two gold eyelets. while the belt is finished with gold eyelets and a gilt buckle.
 Have you tried to make any of the new eyelet embroidery. which is SO fashionable? A garment decorated with this is sure to bring a large price, so it pays to try it yourself, particu- larly as 1t Is very simple. The pat tern usually consists of seven oblong holes around a small center one. The space between these is filled in with single perforations Sometimes stems are worked in between to make the pattern look like blossoms and their leaves. The work is done with linen thread or fine marking cotton. The design is first drawn and the outline covered with a fine even alarming or running stitch. Then a slit is made

nriaon to the School Board:

In prison to the School Board:
 The County Prison. Cells 5 and 57. TO the President and members of the School Board: Gentlemen--Owing to present conditions we regret not beinH able to attend your meeting. and rem der same as our excuse. Signed by David Fiest. Jacob Knoll. Jr.. J. F. Bierstein and George Holvey."
 The School Board. now controlled by the Democrats. refused to receive the communication, and returned 1t to the jail today. The only way in which these directors can be busted. 1t ap- pears, is by reason of absence from the sessions of the Board without excuse The Democrats do not regard being in jail a good excuse. and will proceed to oust the directors.
 The Democrats also aver that the four directors now in Jail engineered Il $l,200 change in textbooks the very week they pleaded guilty, and they say they can nullify this. as an illegal deal with a school book combine.
 Word comes from Shenandoah to- night that the six Democratic Council men, with Citizens Members Sham and Stahl. the latter of whose credentials are yet in question, elected two new policemen to fill the jail vacancies.

The Clans of vegetarianism.

London Express.
 The London Vegetarian Association held their annual dinner at the Holborn Restaurant last night. Members of almost every sect of vegetarianism were present. There were Wallaceites. who will not eat salt or bread made with yeast; Haigites, who are forbidden peas and beans. and Ailinsonites. to whom tea is poison. The Holborn chef was set difficult task but he acquitted himself with distinction. and only ths extremists grumbled.

 This work is particularly effective for lingerie hats, baby caps, collars, bibs and infants shoes. while for a little summer bolero 1t is ideal
 Nearly every up-to-d date summer cot tage has a fireplace in the large en- trance hall. This need not cost much, and 1t gives fine air of comfort and Hospitality. With such a fireplace a settle Is the proper thing the more high backed and old fashioned in ap- pearance the better. It can be built up against the wall If desired and filled with gay tapestry and silk cushions. sometimes quaint effect Is gained by having the entire wall back of the fireplace made of the same tiling. the space directly over the mantel being of mixed tiles. forming a tapestry pie ture.
 Dress Novelties.
 Crochet buckles are something new. They are used mainly for white cos tunes. As the name indicates, they are made with the old fashioned crochet stitch over a well shaped feath- erbone foundation
 Some of the utra chic linen costumes this summer are rather impractical. They have collars and cuffs of ponpee embroidered in contrasting shades This is very pretty. but the unfortu- nate owner has to take the bits of silk out and baste them in every time the garment goes to the wash, which IS apt to be very often if the suit is white.
 Another impractical thing this year IS the vogue of suede shoes, especially In black. These do not wear long enough to make one forget the cost me minute the toes become shiny they must be laid away, for nothing can re. store them ~

A Scandal Unenrthed by the War De- pertinent. Philadelphia Ledger.
 Work on 200,O ,O00 dress coats contract ed for through the Schuylkill Arsenal here. has been stopped by peremptory order of Quartermaster General Humphreys in Washington. and that a thorough investigation of affairs at the arsenal has begun.
 Because of conditions under which contracts are given out at the Arsenal nearly one-half of the dress coats in question have been manufactured and paid for. They lie idle in the store house at the depot and in the opinion of experts of the Government who have examined them, are absolutely worth less for the purpose they were made. A contract for about ,000 pairs of dI ess trousers Is In the hands of the manufacturers. Stoppage on this work also Is expected within few days It Is believed that the investigation, which has been started, will show that the Government has lost to the extent of millions of dollars by the methods in vogue there.
 by three firms. which have factories in this city and in Redbank. N. J., and Egg Harbor, N. J. As yet there are no charges of fraud in connection with the investigation. The colossal losses are attributed to loose ways of doing business.
 The investigation Is the outcome Of the trouble with the arsenal em- ployes, dating back to last winter, and of the more recent scandal when the foreman of the arsenal was forced to resign and eight cutters were dis missed.
 Suggestions of irregularities and sin ister influences in connection with the contracts for army clothing were aired last December, when at the order of President Roosevelt work was once more given to hundreds of seamstress-

 drunkard reforms before marriage. it is one of those all too sudden things that will not last after the novelty Of the situation has worn off.
 And yet you see girls risking that sort of thing every day. A girl will marry man who is known to be the most fickle of his sex, and in her own supreme conceit she imagines that she has cured him forever and made him over new. Then in about a year or and unexpected though 1t may seem. that he is once more his natural self.
 There's nothing to tiff you will pardon a slang expression.
 I would like to eliminate by some painless process the person who said that a man is just what a woman makes him. Tut. tut. my friend! You can bend the tree. but you can't make it over again. If woman wants money maker for a husband don't let her delude herself into thinking she can grow one out of an idealist. The money maker possesses earmarks from boyhood. To him comes the lions share of marbles. the largest piece of cake, in other words. all the luck. which word luck is simply another term for good management. Your money making man will never make the error of having too many friends or of lending his hard earned dollars. No, he will reinvest them where they will pay or more per cent, and he will not trust to the sacred name of friend ship for their return. rather a doubtful proceeding by the way.
