The results Of this convention will

city and as a result the local business
men. especially the manufacturers. are
taking the keenest interest in the
event.
The proposed plan to deepen the
Ohio river channel ten feet and the
Mississippi River fourteen feet means
more to this community than is gener-
ally supposed" said Wilfred Jessup,
who was one of the state delegates TO
the recent national rivers and harbOrs
congress held at Washington, ID. c.
The deepening OF the Mississippi river
would mean that ocean going freight
ers could come as far north as Cairo.

"Water transportation is much
cheaper than railroad transportation.
and if Cairo was made Il seaport it
can be readily seen what an advantage
this would be to local manufacturers
who ship their goods all over the

local manufacturers than if coast

idea of the condition of some dairies
in the county. At the meeting of The

physician said that he knew of one in

been allowed to mix with the Other
stock and as a result nearly all the
hogs on the place were the victims Ot

TRUSTEES AND PHYSICIANS ARE
AT SWORDS POINTS AND DOG.
TORS WILL SAY MAYOR WAS
RIGHT TO OPPOSE.
WANT PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
Medical Staff Says That This Is
What Daniel G. Reid Had Inte nd
ed the Institution to Be When
He Built 1t.

Owing to the continued opposition
OF Mayor Schillinger's administration
TO the appropriation of the city'S
money for >the support of the Reid
Memorial hospital. it is understood
that the trustees of the hospital have
decided to change tactics in securing
the municipal appropriation for next
year. 1t was learned to-day from some
of the members of the city council
that there will probably be a special
meeting of council next Monday night,
at which meeting the hospital truS-
tees will. Notwithstanding the fact
that in the past they have always
maintained the hospital was a public
institution make proposition to have
The hospital, as a private corporation,
enter into contract with the city
for the purpose of securing anappro-
priation for next year.
1t is understood that the terms of
the proposed contract call for an ap-
preparation by the city of $4,000. On
the part of the hospital the truSte cs
guarantee to render an accounting at
the end of the year for every cent
spent of the appropriation, which ac-
counting ii is claimed has never been
rendered in the past.
Ever since Mayor Schillinger has
been i'll office. he has constantly op
posed the policy Of the city in assist
ing In the maintaincnce of the Reid
Memorial hospital. He has argued
that the hospital is Il private institu
1ion, the title being vested in the
board of trustees. ana that the city
had no right to appropriate money for
any institution unless it was a public
one. To secure the appropriation the
trustees represented TO the city coun
Gil that the hospital was a public insti
tuition.

the trustees in promising to render ar
accounting for any appropriation
made by the city for the benefit of the
hospital next year is a concession of
fered Mayor Schillnger so that he vii
withdraw his opposition to an appro
priation.'
The medical staff OF the hospital is
of the opinion that the hospital shoulc
be made public institution in every
sense OF the word. This. in the opin
ion OF the physicians. is what d. G
Reid intended it 10 he. The medica
staff advocates the transfer OF the ii
tie of the property from the prcsen
arbitrary board and that the manage
ment of the institution be placed il
the hands Of larger aud more repre
sentative board of trustees.

1t Is Thought by Him That
Hunt in a Way Has Been
Convinced That the Ordi-
nance Is Legal.
BARS COUNTRY BUTCHERS.
1T is TO THIS HUNT OBJECTS
SERIOUSLY ALL TOWNS IN
WAYNE COUNTY HAVE RIGHT
TO PASS SIMILAR ORDINANCE

Il have explained the meat mspec-
tiOn ordinance to c. b. Hunt and |
think that | succeeded in convinc-
ing him that it was legal and showed
no class discrimination" stated City
Attorney T. J. Study this morning
when asked for a statement in regard
to the charges made by Mr.. Hunt, d
Main street grocer.
In an article printed Thursday night,
Mr.. Hunt said that he wanted a test
case made of the Richmond meat in
SpectiOn ordinance and that he would
pay the costs of the trial of the first
farmer arrested for selling his unin-
spected meat products in this city.
Mr.. Hunt in his statement main
tanned that if the state permitted the
farmers of this county to sell their
uninspected meat to dealers i'll Cam
bridge City, Fountain City, Centerville
and other towns, these farmers would
have perfect right TO sell their
meats in this city.
men, wagon dealers, etc, were per
mitted to sell their products to deal
ers in this city and from house to
house, it would be class discrimina-
tiOn not to allow farmers to sell un-
inspected meat in the same manner.
The city attorney said this morning
that he had explained to Mr.. Hunt,
after reading the advertisement re-
ferred to, that he had placed Il wrong
Interpretation on "class discrimina.
. ton" as provided by law The man
who sells meat is not in the same
class of trade as the man who sells
milk" said Mr.. Study. IF the meat
| inspection ordinance had discriminat
ed between meat dealers. then il
would have been unconstitutional.
AS for the statement made by Mr.
Hunt that farmers in this county had
as much right to sell their uninspect
neighbOring towns, there are no facts
to substantiatc this argument. Tn
der the laws of the State OF Indiana
Cambridge City. Fountain City or any
other town in the county has the au
thOrity to pass an ordinance providing
that nothing but inspected meat shall
be sold in those towns. If these towns
do not care to pass such ordinances
that is their business. Under the
state laws Richmond has a perfect
right to pass a meat inspection ordi
nance and the city has seen fit to take
/ advantage of this authority"
Mr. Study said that recently c. c
Pierson of Fountain City, who is en-
gagged in the butchering business anC
who has had large trade in Rich
mond, inquired of him as to whether
he would have the right to continue
selling his uninspected meat here
Mr.. Study informed him that the mea
inspection ordinance had eliminated
him from the local market. PiersOr
was informed that local people could
go to Fountain City and there pur
chase meat from him for their own in
dividual use but that local dealers
could not buy meat from him in FOun
tain City and offer il for sale here.

Receipts From Rural Patrons
Would Go to Swell National
Postal Revenues to an I'M
menSe Sum.
NO CHANGE IN POSTAGE.
MAIL ORDER HOUSES WOULD IN
NO WISE RECEIVE THE BENE.

That the postal department would IN

firm opinion of Postmaster General
George Won l.. Meyer. as he has eX-
pressed ii in a communication ad-
Commercial club. in rebuttal TO one
of the chief objections raised To the
mercial organization. and as forward
ed 10 him some time ago. His state
ment in regard to this feature is very
interesting and sets forth facts which
were probably not thought of when
the resolutions were drawn aud for
warded TO Washington.

that the new law would in no wise az

Office of Postmaster General
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 8. 1908.
f. NJ. Haas, Esq, Secretary CONNER
cial club. Richmond. Ind.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of recent date
has been received. and have noted
carefully, the resolutions adopted br
I the Commercial club on the subject OF
the departments proposition TO extend
the parcel post and To- establish a spe-
cial local parcel post on rural routes
There are two statements in these
resolutions to which | think / ought
! to call your attention. II is, alleged.
for instance. that the present postal
deficit would be greatly increased IL
the departments recommendation in
respect OF the parcel post were adopt
! ed In this connection / desire to ex-
press my conviction that If the pro
posed special local parcel post on rural
routes were established il would result
in making the service, in time, self
sustaining. There are at present IS
2t5 rural routes in operation. so that
iIlt machinery IDT LIIo service Is al
ready in existence. and as there would
be no railroad charges or other addi-
tiOnal expenses. the revenue derived
tneTefrom would be all gain with the
exception Of the amount paid to post
masters on account or cancellations.
II has been estimated that If an aver
age of only three 11-pound packages
were handled per trip on each rural
route in the United States. the in
creased revenue thus derived would
more than wipe out the present postal
deficit
The other statement in your resolu-
tiOns 10 which | wish TO invite your
attention. is the one in which you say,
in speaking of the proposed reduction
from is to - cents a pound. that a
certain mail order house will save
$4,000 a year alone on mailing out
their catalogues by this reduction -
The proposed reduction would in no
wise affect the rate of postage on cat
alogues. for the reason that these are
classed as third class matter. and are
therefore now mailable at the rate Of
one cent for each TWO ounces. or eight
cents per pound
Thanking you for your letter. believe
me. respectfully.

WEAR coLoRs THAT COMBINE.
Proper Harmony the Most Effective
Thing in a Costume.

After all, there is nothing more i'm
portant in a costume than cOmbina-
ton of color, for, no matter how rich
the material, if the colors do not har-
monte the gown will be wrong. For
this reason, brown and gold have re-
manned SO very popular, as have also
smoke gray and silver.
A charming tea gown is of silver
gray crepe de chine, made empire and
finished with yoke and sleeves OF
white Oriental lace, which is net en-
broidered in heavily raised dots. The
gown hangs straight and untrimmed
from bust to hem, where it has a band
Of silver braid.
A tea gown Of brown chiffon velvet
is made in a rather skinny style, cut
in slightly at the waist line, while the
yoke and sleeves are of ecru net heav
lily embroidered with gold thread. AT
the foot of the gown is a band of the
same embroidered filet, only the
thread extends over the edge of the
net in places and makes pretty curve
on the velvet
Ecru is always an attractive color
and so is champagne, and both com
bine beautifully with a deep golden
brown. Blue is the hardest of all col
ors to trim, but it's own color in a
lighter Or darker shade is always a
safe combination.

The Bordered Gown,

An original white frock of the
youthful simplicity" order struck q
new note the other day, being worn
by a golden-haired girl in slight
mourning. 1t was soft filminess OF
very fine white net resembling tulle
and both the upper skirt (short to the
knees in front and apparently caught
up at the back of the waist to fall in
irregular edged box plaits) and the
lower one was bordered with deer
hem of black velvet above which was
embroidered il a jet running design
IF round garlands and ribbons, looping
over and under a band of silver tbs
sue laid beneath the net.
This idea could be varied and car
ried out in all sorts of colors, or in
one or two shades combined with a
white or ivory gown, or all in one pale
hue.
The difference in material is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon OF
crepe de chine, for instance.

SLIPS FOR SUMMER GOWNS.
Are Built on the Princess Lines Popu-
lar Last Year.

The costumes for the summer will
not be complete if worn without slips
built on the princess lines of last year.
This does not necessitate heavy,
elaborate undergowns of silk and
satin. Ordinary figured dimities and
lawn may be used with charming com
binations, and trimmed with lace and
all-over embroidery.
Some of them are made on the plan
of circular corset covers and circular
petticoats, joined at the waist with a
line of beading They must all be
made simple, so that washing is easy,
and really they will be no more ex-
pensive than the usual lingerie for
summer wear.
Every girl will need three Of plain
white and two of lowered lawn or
dimity, or else five Of plain white.
Some girls will have them all in white,
but trimmed with bands of the flow
cred materials.
OF course, the slip would not be
quite enough as a foundation for a
sheer dress unless it is of silk, so
many girls will also wear the ''panta-
lons-jupons" SO popular in Paris at the
present time. These latter may be
made of material to match the slip and
very full, with deep ruffies of lace.
Some of the more elaborate slips
will be trimmed with Dresden ribbon
and fine lace, and many will have little
ruffles running from knees to feet.
