POSTMASTER HITLHCOCK'S RUDE AWAKENING

Postmaster Hitchcick has stumbled upon a scheme of economy which does not contemplate grinding more service for less pay out of the mail carriers; discharging men nominal,y entitled to higher remuneration by reason of years of faithful service and substi- tuting cheaply paid beginners; Or ham pering and driving away business by increasing rates of postage
 He advocates that the Government take over the telegraph lines of the United States, and incorporate them as part of the post office system. Well done, thou good and faithful servant! This is utra-commen
 Nothing remains now but to put the plan into operation. But alaSi a large, fat fly manifests it's presence in the amber in the shape of a pronun- ciamento from that eminent reaction ary and friend of Conservatism, known officially as William Taft.
 Taft declares-by' Iadye-that only over his defunct- carcass can such a heinous measure pass,-a measure which would place the United States, in small degree, in the advanced class with all the civilized European coun- tries and South American republics. It is unthinkable that we should pro

PADS AND FASHIONS

ural, even to the perfume, are being worn to lend finishing touch of col or to the evening gowns.
 Paris is using laces, real and imita- tion, by the quantity, and chantilly has returned to it's one time favor, when the ex-Empress Eugenie wore 1t in profusion as scarfs and hounces. Short dresses just shown are from six to eight inches wider than they were six months ago. The long pan el effects are retained, so are the in set borders or ''p'eced out' effects that cut into a fabric.
 Tulle bands, embroidered in flower designs with heavy linen or cotton thread, attractively trim the hand bands are used instead of insertion of lace or embroidery.
 white cloth trimmed with black velvet shows long sleeves and bo- lero of velvet, the latter having pos tilion back; belt of velvet in folds, and an oversHirt of ruby-red taffeta with a wide opening in front.
 In the evening elaborate coiffures are worn and many silver and gold lace bands and caps are worn with full dress and for the theatre. Aigrettes and paradise plumeS are now in the hair, but rarely flowers.
 Fichus continue to be fashionable. Tulle, either plain or fringed, is the favorite material for making these pretty, cloudNke trimmings. They are used frequently Sto trim negl' ges of crepe de chine or soft satin.
 Little or ia SC hair is now the fashion Pompadours are entirely passe, and parts in the middle or on the side reign supreme. Ears are covered with soft, wavy strands of hair, and the psyche knot is the fla vorite.
 Some colors can be shut out, red cannot be, and it is coming in fast as a dress trimming. hat decoration, etc, not as the entire specimen. Glow ing empire red American beauty, cor al pink are all new shades, or others revived, to brighten up black, green, purple, dark blue, brown or gray.
 Chiffon and satins are the favorite materials for even gowns. The heav- day, and where spang'es are used at all, 1t is more in the form of embroi- dery combined with beads, round and tubular. Tubular fringe is much us ed, and quantities of gold and silver lace.
 Coral brooches, earrings and pen dants on gold chains have been re- vived as cameos, sprays, etc, alone or with diamonds, as the dewdrop in beading around a cameo set in knife edge of gold. The light coral is very becoming, but avoid the deep shad- inss, as this gives a purplish cast to even a fair comp eXion.
 Shot or opalescent chiffon taffeta is taken for odd, little waists covered with chiffon in black blue, gray, pur- satin embroidered with oriental silk and beads introduced as cuffs, tiny yoke, plastrop, empiecement, etc, long sleeves with puff at wrist or a large puff at elbow he'd out by feather bone'' in balloon style.

gress any faster than we are kicked and thereby hangs a tale.
 Hitchcock will now have an oppor- tunity to hem and haw, proceed side ways--ike a crab-dive into his hole, pull the hole in after him, and emerge later on with a declaration that he was derstood-painfuIIy misun- derstood. What he meant to say was that the Government WOULD NOT take over the teIegraphs.
 Then all wi be forgiven.
 This opposition to the Governments s acquisition of telegraphs transeends feeblenindedness and rises into realms of pure idiocy.
 The Peepul will now resume it's pie turesque pose of Patience on a Mon Ument, and Taft will take another 50,0e0 mi e journey, EXPLAINING to a few hired c1acquers and a hoard of grim silent, set-jawed constituents. Mischief thou art afOot, take thou what course thou wilt
 For all the explanations in the world won't explain why we don't need and can't have Government ownership of telegraphs and parcel posts
 Didn't LincO say something to the effect that s'you can't fool all the peo- pie all the time?''

BAD CHECK MAN LET GO AFTER
 A STAY IN JAIL
Samuel Klous Believed to be Wanted by Sharon, Pa., Authorities for Embezzle- ment of $2,O0O.

After spending, several weeks in the local jail awaiting trial, Samuel Klous the Brookline, Mass, mining engineer who was arrested here for attempting to pass bad checks, was discharged from custody in the local city court this morning, his case be- ing nolle pressed.
 On information from the bureau of criminal Identification of the Boston Police department the local authOri- ties were led to believe that klous is wanted in sharon, Pa, for embeZzle- meat-of-$2.000.z The authorities of Sharon were communicated with, but as no answer was received, the local authorities grew tired of holding k1ous and so let him go this morn ing.
 Klous is the black sheep of a wealthy and prominent Brookline family, his failing being an inclina- ton to pass bad checks while under the influence of liquor. He tried that game here but as he did not succeed the prosecuting officials were not inclined to be severe with him and considered that his several weeks in jail, while awaiting trial, was sufficient punishm ent.
 KIous' face was Wreathed in happy . smiles when he breathed the air of liberty this morning and he express cd his intention, of leaving Bridge port far behind him, as rapidly as possible
