Women employees in the money order
division cf the city pc-t-efloe are ex-
dressing their indignation IS the man
her in which they were searched
when the announcement Of the 5000 theft
from that division became public several
days ago.
They declare that although Il was GER
tainly known they had no connection
with the robbery, and could not by any
means have obtained the money, they
were divested OF their clothing as if
they had been common criminals. They
consented 10 the search. they say. only
because they feared a refusal would mean
the loss OF their positions.
The search OF all the employees was
ordered the day after the robbery was
discovered, by Chief Inspector Ingles. All
clerks working in the money order divi-
sion were ordered TO appear before those
chosen TO conduct the search and sub
NIT 10 an examination Of their clothing
Taken to Special Room.
The women say they we're taken into
special room. where they were re-
quired 10 disrobe before several women
delegated TO search them.
"The examination" said one Of the
women. seems to have been a useless
indignity heaped upon US because We
happened TO be in the division under
examination We were required to re-
move our clothing. although It was known
before the order 10 search US was Issued
that we could not have been responsible
for the robbery
we did not report the matter 10 the
Postmaster General, because we felt that
to do so would endanger our positions
The women making the protest declined
10 allow their names 10 be used.
There are a number OF women employed
in the money order division. although
most of them are remote from the place
where the letters containing $1,000 were
stolen. When they were asked by the
inspectors TO submit TO a search. they
say, they supposed II would be a super
fetal affair. merely in order to arouse
the authorities that the money was not
IN the hands OF the employees.
An official Statement,
In a statement yesterday, officials of
the department deny they treated the
women dlscourteously. The search. they
declare. was conducted in private ard
without any embarrassment TO the en-
ployes. The statement is as follows:
when several registered packages were
mysteriously taken from the money or
der division OF the Washington city post
Office, November S, the employees OF that
division were notified Of the loss. They
readily consented that a search be made
by the proper authorities.
NO coercion or indignities were offered.
The men in the Office were searched by
men. and the women employees by women.
in private. with no possible chance Of en-
barrassment The department has not
received a complaint from single en-
ploye, or from any other source. The prac-
tice OF instituung searches Of employees in
all of the executive departments where
money is handled in case Of disappear
ance or loss. is well and long estab-
ished."

Already the Treasury Department has
begun 10 look into the new evidence pre-
sented. and there IS promise that some

the body Of Joseph c. Squires, who
was shot and almost instantly
killed on Sunday morning while
walking in a path in patch OF

The autopsy revealed that two
bullets entered Squircs' body, One
taking effect in the left shoulder,
penetrating about three inches, and
the other piercing the heart, caus-
ing almost instant death.
The discovery that Squlres was the vic

THE POPULAR WIFE,

AS rule the young married wom-
an is exceedingly attractive. She
has gained experience and knowl-
edge of mankind which stands her in
good stead. Her household cares
and responsibilities have developed
tact, and the many experiences which
befall every married woman have in
spired a feeling of sympathy.
She realizes that she is not all i'm
portant, however fascinating she may
be. Man is naturally authoritative
and he likes his power recognized.
He also has his little vanities and
she who is clever enough to discover
and appreciate this is certain to be a
favorite.
1t seems pity that girls do not
cultivate a wider and broader view Of
life. A young girl may be pretty and
interesting as we'll. Careful system
attic reading is powerful aid in stim-
ulating conversation and the cultiva-
ton of observation will encourage
sympathy which is so potent factor
Of social success.-New Haven Regis

EVENING GOWNS.

Some of the handsomest evening
and house dresses are glove-fitting
princess forms with leaning toward
the stiff-boned waist portion. At the
same time neither the corseleted Mid
die Ages gowns nor the Florentine
forms have reached their highest de-
velopments and many beautiful varie-
ties of these are included in the early
dresses shown. The newest of all
the dresses for which popularity
may be prophesied are the Colonial
or Marie Antoinette gowns. These,
with their tight, long-pointed waists
and flowing (and generally flowered)
overdresses, tucked up, knotted, or
draped, offer real contrast to the
straight "lead-pencll" dress forms to
which the world has come to lend its
approval.-Harper's Bazar.

Hoods are being worn just now
both for evening occasion and for
automobile wear. Here is one that
can be utilized for both purposes,
which is attractive and becoming yet
perfectly simple. 1t can be worn as
shown in either view, the scarf ends
forming a cape or being brought
around to tie In the front. Chiffon
cloth is the material shown In the
illustration. but soft, thin silks,
crepes and all materials Of the sort
are appropriate. The rosettes can
be of the same or of ribbon, as liked.
The hood consists Of one piece,
which is pleated and gathered to pro-
duce an effective result. There are
ties attached to the neck edge be-
meath the rosettes.

is three and three-eighth yards

BRAN MASH FOR HORSES.

The bran mash is very common
feed for horses; all feeders, however.
do not take the pains to make the
mash in the right way. To make a
good bran mash, first wash out your
bucket with boiling water, then pour
in a half gallon OF hot water and stir
in three and one-half or four pounds
of bran. This should be covered up
and left for two or three hours. 1t
takes mash several hours to get cold
and is often fed to a sick horse too
hot, so he refuses to eat it, when it
would have been eaten II properly
prepared and allowed to cool until
1t could be eaten. The addition OF a
tablespoonful of salt in the mash
once a week helps to keep the horses
In good health.-Indiana Farmer.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
BRADsTREeT's WEEKLY REVIEW
No Particular Evidence Of Falling or
in Industrial Operations.

Gold weather and the nearer ap-
proach of the holidays have stimu-
lated trade quite generally throughout
the North and West and even helped
Southern trade, especially in the
western part OF the cotton states. As
the week advanced, there seemed to
be evidence that the railroad strike
was losing its effectiveness as trade
deterrent, though the statistics OF
-four output at large Northwestern
cities show those centers to have been
sharply affected.
'In wholesale lines there is some
thing like a seasonable quieting shown
now that the season of stock taking
is close at hand. A large, though
perhaps not record volume of business
Is indicated, but there is very general
complaint that high costs restrict
profits.
There is no particlar evidence OF
slowing down in Industrial operations
and output, generally speaking, is at
the maxium OF the year, but new
business in several lines shows what
Is termed seasonable quieting Iron
output is large, in fact of record pro-
portions, but new buying in pig iron is
smaller, some soft spots have de-
developed and finished lines are not
quiet as eagerly sought for. In other
lines manufacturers are still buying
freely OF materials, which as a rule
are firmly held. Reports as to activ-
ity in shoe manufacturing are best
from the West.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with De-
cember 8, were 259. against 230 last
week, and 29S in the like week Of
1908, 2S4 in 1907, 22O in 1906 and 226
in 1905.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number so, which compares with

, ing week OF 1905

habits and mode of life. the hours
given to sleep, work, recreation, leis-
ure, etc., ought to make 1t COM
paratively easy matter for every nor
NAL individual to be neither too fat
nor too thin, but "just right"
AS a rule, 1t is not the people who
eat 700 much who are too fat; 1t Is
the people who do not take sufficient
exercise, or exercise of the right kind.
And though, as is we'll known, thin
folks often eet more than their
plump brethren, yet the lean kline"
will always be lean, whether they eat
much or little, so long as they in
dulge in an immoderate amount of
active exercise or possess a nervous,
excitable temperament that forbids
them to rest properly but compels
them to be always on the go.-Mod-
ern Society.

Most dresses touch the floor, but
none Of them is long.
Pale yellow appears everywhere In
wraps, gowns and hats.
Velvet is making up some of the
handsomest walking gowns.
Princess forms prevail for dinner
dresses and evening wear.
Soft, wide meshes are found in
nearly all the face wells.
Light, fiimsy chiffon muffs will be
in style for evening affairs.
The bolero is expected to be in
great favor the coming season.
Among the new handbags are those
Of black moire, beaded with jet.
Gold or silver tissue is used as a
lining to sheer net yokes and sleeves.
The heavy crepe mourning veil is
now rarely seen; instead there is a
light net veil, bordered with crepe.
The fur collar not long ago was
the recognized trimming for a cloak,
but now embroidery takes its place.
Wells no longer are drawn tightly
around the face; they must not touch
the face at all, even at the chin.
For becomingness to relieve the all
black hat many girls are having a
narrow row of gold around the brim.
A feature in fall millinery is the
combination of fur and plumes. This
novelty appears in the giant picture
models.
Satin charmeuse remains the fav-
orite for ball and dinner gowns, and,
in fact, for evening gowns of all de-
scriptions.
