We have spoken before this Of many Of the
bolero designs. but variation after varia-

effects have been secured by the use OF
odd boleros over sheer summer frooks.

NO MORE MONEY
TO SHIP SILVER

Washington, March z6--Secretary
Cortelyou has issued a general cir
cular announcing that the amount ap-
propriatsd by congress for the trans
portation of silver coin for the year
1908 having become exhausted, mo
more standard silver dollars will be
sent to applicants free OF charge for
the transportation from the offic-
of the treasurer or the several as
sistant treasures OF the United
States"
The policy of shipping to banks sill
yer coin free of express charges was
adopted about twenty-five years ago,
when it was deemed desirable to
stimulate the general circulation of
silvor, and this policy has been con-
tinued to the present time, with the
exception of the first three months
in 1906, when there was MO appro-
priation available for the free distri-
button of silver coin.

of the district last week following the
OF Hon. Hec Currle
for congress- Mr.. Byrd is in Wash
ington and it it understood that he
will remain there until after the adj
journment of the national house,
when he will return to the district
and give his time to filling dates in
the several counties in his bailiwick.
Men who like to see the fur fly, polit-
ically, will not be satisfied until they
have yoked Mr. Currie and Mr.. Byrd
up together on the stump. Both are
orators, both are great advocates be-
fore mixed crowds and both have a
world of friends who will give them
cordial reception. 1t has been many
years since two such evenly matched
men on the stump have been seen in
this district.

TO CARRY OUT PROGRAM
Of President ]. S. Williams Promises
SolidDemocratic Vote of House of
Representatives

Washington, March 26.-John
Sharp Williams, leader of the minor
ity, will make an offer of the demo
cratic vote of the house of represen-
tatives to President Roosevelt to
pass certain legislation proposed in
his message. The only point on
which Williams dissents from the
message is the commission to con-
slider tariff reduction. He says these
commissions are always composed of
men who are working for certain
favored interests. Senator Cu1berson
will make the same offer to the pres
ident from the senate. With 70 re-
publicans in the house and the solid
democratic vote the president could
put through his program as outlined
in his recent message.

WAGE REDUCTION OF 10 PER
CENT EFFECTIVE APRIL
FIRST

New York, March 26-It was
learned today that the Erie railroad
is preparing to meet a strike ON its
entire line and branches. The Of
ficers of the road have decided to
put into effect the wage reduction OF
10 per cent not later than April L
Conferences are being held with the
employees to get them to submit to
the reduction. The employees seri-
ously object to the reduction, de-
claring it is made so that dividends
may be paid on the watered stocks
of the system. They will fight the
reduction and will in all probability
call strike when the reduction goes
into effect. They claim they can tie
up the entire system in twenty-foul
hours.

watched his chance when the atten-
ton of the others, especially Gertrude,
was directed elsewhere. and then, as
sisting his pedal extremities laborious-
ly over the side of the sleigh, he fell on
them heavily, trusting to luck rather
than to his tired legs to keep him up
right.
Near the end of their climb he re-
marked to Mrs. ANGEL, with all the
nonchalance he could command, 81
should think you ladies would be a bit
tired"
A light laugh put him to shame, and
a pair OF dancing blue eyes met his
in a glance which stripped him OF If
teen years and led him back to the
days when he had walked beside her
with never a thought of fatigue.
Tired she returned carelessly. "And
by such a little trip as this?'
That reply, coupled with the days
unparalleled exertions, turned the tide
of Merriwether's resolutions In his
room before dinner he eased his aching
bones in morris chair and determined
to return to the city early next morn
ing. He would be old and sensible and
comfortable once more He would for
get Gertrude as long as he could not
keep up with her youthfulness.
But alas for his determination! He
nearly forgot his bruises and sprains
that evening in the charm of Mrs. An
CELLS presence. and be noticed, too,
with pang of something s4ery like
jealousy, that Briggs the youngest
man in the party, occupied his spare
