Blouse Luxurious.

Quite the most luxurious of the new
blouses are those made almost en-
tirely of real lace.
In one model point de venise, filet
and valenciennes laces are combined.
The scheme chosen is simple, but the
laces are arranged in effective panels
and motifs Joined with the valen-
ciennes, the most delicate of the
three laces. The new real lace blouses
have touches of gold or silver thread
intermingled with the lace
Lingerie blouses such as are seen
sometimes beneath heavy coats have

Mendinc Gloves.

The safest and best way to mend
gloves that have ripped at the seams
or split across the back or palm is to
carefully buttonhole the edges of the

After both sides of the rent are but
tonholed, catch the stitches together
through the center, sewing over and

using this method the gloves win new

Boston, May 4.-"Presented" to
President Taft by the colonel, those
eight Republican delegates-at-large
who were elected at the primaries for
Roosevelt, have most emphatically re-
fused to vote for the president.
After two conferences the delegates
announced that they had decided not
to take any joint action on the atti-
tude of Colonel Roosevelt in releasing
them from the obligation to vote for
him. But in individual interviews
each declared that the voters instrNc-
tons were paramount and binding.
Boston, May 4. - Massachusetts,
emerged from It's first presidential
preferential primary election to find
that the Republican voters had ex-
pressed a preference for the re-nomi-
nation of President Taft, but had CIV
en- Colonel Roosevelt the eight dele
gates-at-large to the national conven-
ton. To these eight votes Colonel
Roosevelt renounced all claim. The
Democratic voters of the state ex-
pressed a preference for Speaker
Champ Clark, although the delegates
at-large to Baltimore will go pledged
to Governor Foss.

On the Democratic ticket, although

pledged to or indicated to be 'for"
Governor Foss, there was no Foss
name in the presidential preference
column. Speaker Clark, whose name
appeared in the preference ballot and
who defeated Governor Wilson by a
vote of 2 to 1, did not have single
pledged delegate on the list. Many
of the Democratic district delegates
were also elected pledged to Foss.

lis UNDER A CLOUD
POSTMASTER OF MARIETTA Is
RELIEVED FROM DUTY.
A. D. Alderman, Who Has Handled
United States Mail, Is Removed
by Government.

Marietta.-A. D. Alderman, post
master in this city for the past 10
months, has been suspended pending
complete investigation of the books
of the office by four postal inspectors
from Washington.
The suspension was after Chief In
spector E. F. Birdseye of Cincinnati
had come here to receive reports
of three other inspectors who have
been at work on the books of the
postmaster.
A discrepancy of $500 in accounts
is said to exist, of which amount 5000
has been paid, and it is said that the
balance of the money will be forth
coming at once.
A deed for the fine residence prop
erty of Mr.. Alderman to B. B. Put
nam was put on record when Mr..
Putnam announced the balance of
the money needed to make up the
| difference, or $1,100, would be paid
over just as soon as Mr.. Alderman
transferred his stock in the Marietta
Journal, an evening publication, of
which he is editor.
This is expected soon and no Grim
inal proceedings will follow, it is
said. No formal charges have been
filed against Alderman, and because
of his physical condition, it is hardly
thought anything further will be done
if the shortage is made good.
Mr.. Alderman is one of the we'll
known newspaper men of southern
Ohio, and for many years has been
identified in the newspaper business,
succeeding his father, the late E. R.
Alderman for many years treasurer
of the Ohio Associated Dailies. After
he retired from the Marietta Register,
he engaged in the bookstore business
for time, and later purchased con-
| trolling interest in the Journal, an
evening publication which vas started
by union printers more than 10 years
| ago.

Dynamite In His pockst.

Sharon, Mass.-Thomas ]. Leary,
the town tree warden, sat down be-
meath tree on East Roxboro street,
and moment later an explosion blew
him to pieces. A hole three feet deep
was made in the ground where he had
been sitting. The report of the explo'
sion was heard for miles, and houses a
quarter of mile away rocked dan
gerously. The theory is that Leary,
who was. contractor, had stick of
dynamite in his pocket and that when
he sat down it came in contact with a
stone.
