FADS AND "A SHIONS

The famous designers in Paris, Lon
don and New York are turning out a
large variety of the most beautiful
evening costumes and there is scarce
ly period In the worlds history which
is not used in some way as a model
or suggestion There seems to be a
particular tendency to initiate Grecian
types, the cIinging lines of which are
ever beautiful and especially becoming
to women of good shape. These cos
tunes permit the use of an almost end
less variety of exquisite fabrics of so
flexible a weave that they naturally
fall into graceful folds. Many of these
materials come in bordered patterns
and many in robe form, either with

New York, April Snow. that East
or with its customary display of new
nnery is a thing of the past, the
thoughts of fashionable women once
more revert to evening toilets which,
during the Lenten season were some
what neglected. To a woman of origin
al ideas and artistic taste the planning
of an evening toilet must give exquisite
pleasure this season, as fashion never
before allowed such unrestrained lib
orty in the selection of style, mate
rial, color and ornamentation as at the
present time. It might be said that
everything is permissible so long as its
general effect is artistic and pictur-
esque.

Another charming fad of the hour is
to wear crepe meteor tunic of rather
brilliant hue over bullion cloth skirt

Both combination schemes are popular
with matrons, while for young girls
white transparencies yelling evening
frocks of delicate hue are most in
favor.

But in this respect fashion allows CON-

With some of these new borderings

The overskirt has. undoubtedly. ar

ried on in Wagon

Under the glare Of a street lamp
yeggrnen backed a wagon up to the
door of the Richmond postotfice either
on Saturday or Sunday night. pierced
the vault with steel drills and made off
with Sl0O.0O0 in stamps and Sl60 in
cash. A Waterman in the building was
undisturbed while the robbers entered
through a street window and did the
job
The office had been closed since 6
o'clock Saturday evening. When a
clerk opened the doors Monday morn
ing the robbery was discovered. Post
Office inspectors and city police got
busy.
Cashier McKim Marriott had gone TO
the country for the week : end and was
summoned by hurry kilograms. Though
the thieves evidently had plenty of
time. they overlooked an envelope con
tanning 5000 in cash.
Later estimates placed the amount
taken at over 5000 This makes il
one of the largest robberies in police
annals of the State. Special Postofiice
inspectors started at once on the case.
Not in the history Of the State has a
robbery been so perfectly performed.
The very simplicity of the thing made
it the easiest There is nothing start
ling TO show for the work. Two small
holes bored into the door of the safe.

lapel button with the face of q young
woman on it are all that have been
found 10 Indicate now the work was
done. If these things indicate ANYTHING.
Strange 20 say, none of the windows
was unbOlted nor was the door found
unlocked. As though to add mockery
to the recently established inspectors

under the peep-hole used by the Gov
eminent inspectors TO watch employees
under suspicion.
The cashiers Office is directly under
the glare of an electric light and the
windows Of the Office are left open TO
public gaze. standing within three feet
of the ground. IL is supposed that a
bookshelf was moved in front of the
window while the work was done.
What rs known as plunge and
squeeze was the manner in which the
work was carried out There was no
explosion. The bit was used nicely and
the lock exposed for the thread bolt.
The robbery was reported by a clerk
at o o'clock Monday morning. The night
Waterman was found at his home in
Manchester Monday morning. He was
surprised when escorted t the post

INSURGENTS ON THE WAR
PATH AGAIN.

The insurgents who voted to re-
tain Uncle Joe Cannon as Speaker of
the House, when they had it in their
power TO reduce him TO the ranks,
seem TO have repented of their action
and propose TO renew hoStilitieS
which will result in unseating the
Gar. The insurgents no doubt as
sumed that they had clipped the
Speakers wings by depriving him of
the right to name the Committee on
Rules and removing him from this
committee. but when the Republi-

be depended upon to do his bidding

are still entirely without representa-
ton on the committee. so it evident
ly appears to them that. in spite of
the gallant fight they and their Dem
ocratic allies made to rid the House
of Cannonism, the old fellow is still
doing business at the same old stand.
The fight. therefore, was without
material effect. except in so far as it
showed the insurgents and their al
lies what they could do if they stood
together and adopted the extreme
measure of reducing Mr.. Cannon to
the ranks. The insurgents are there

Two of the ministers present-Rev. B.

of the aged clergyman, stating that the

In the death of Justice Brewer, Of

country loses one of its most able. up
right and conscientious jurists, a
man who has been an ornament to
the bench. whose decisions have been
sound in law and justice and whose
presence on our highest tribunal will
be sadly missed.
