The whole family of TRIMMINGS is strong in novelty—and rich in design. TRIMMID on a gown is like the last ‘touching up” of a picture. It takes an artistic eye and s skilled hand to do bot successfully. A “‘dab” of finery in the wroug place will send ali the harmony of color into discord. Fash- sonable TRIMMING should be applied to the fashion- able weaves—but becomingly. If we sell you the goods—and we are likely to if you seek something ex- elusive and novel—our advice as to decoration may be of service to you, for we have studied combinations carefully. Our taste—like our stock—is at your dis- posal. You will read sbout the same names 1 all ‘TRIMMING lists—but calling brass gold doesn't e1 Dance its value. Oursare the genuine effects.

One kept his re- volver pointed at me through dhe hole in the car.” , Moore continued on the train.

Raum has assumed an aggresive atti- tude. He proposes to make it lively for the men who, he believes, are plotting to injure his character and compel Position of commissioner of the pension bureau. He has singled out three men, all cf whom are employes in the pension office, and has recom- mended to Secretary Noble that they be dis- missed from the service. These men are J. Edgar Engle of Pennsylvania, a €1,600 clerk, F. M. Taylor of Mlinois, a special examiner, and Mr. Edward Howard, a clerk. Gen. Raum in the letter to the Secretary urging this action gives, it is stated, a detailed account of the efforts made by the $ named to. bring him into disrepute. He maintains that their influence in the office is demoralizing. IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF ACTION. While Gen. Raum in his review of their con- duct refers to events that took place some time ‘8g0, yet itis understood that the immediate cause of this action in the care of Engle and Howard, at least, is the affidavits which they recently filed with Secretary Noble charging Green b. Raum, jr., with attempting to obtain money for himself ‘in consideration of his in- fluence with bis father in securing their promo- tion. Gen. Raum regards these charges as an attempt to injure bim through his son. YOUNG OR. RAUM'S AFFIDAVIT. Young Mr. Raum has made an affidavit which he has sent to Seeretary Noble denying the statements made by Engle and Howard. He states that the idea of his attempting to carry on an office brokerage business is pro- Posterous and that his entire energies are de- voted to establishing himself in business. His father characterizes the allegation that his son, either while appointment clerk or later, in- fluenced promotionsand appoitments in favor of individuals as entirely without foundation in fact. It is understood that young Mr. Raum has prepared a statement covering the entire period of his connection with the nsion office and that he has obtained afti- davits from practically every person promoted or appointed during that ‘time exonerating him trom the imputation that he has acted cor- ruptly, 4 STATEMENT SENT To THE PRESIDENT. This statement has been sent to the Presi- dent with a review of the entire case. It is stated to be the desire of Mr. Raum, jr., not only to clear his own character for the sake of his father, but also to pave the way for enter- ing upon the practice of law before the various executive departments. Gen. Raum believes that the ch: made against his son are not only untrue, but that they are cruel, as the evident.intention is to strike down the father through the son. A TALK WITH GEX. RAUM.

As tts name implies, the apparatus is designed to distribute automatically on exch floor and to all the ten- auts of a house the ictters or parcels which may be addremed to them. A large box situated on the ground floor contains as many apertures as there are floors or tenants in the house. When a letter or other object is introduced into one of these openings the box rises and, in passing, distributes in each of the receptacles fixed in the ante-chamber of the addressees the articles intended for them, each tenant being in ture advised of the arrival of the article by the The working the office. From his past experience he was | of the apparatus is extremely simple, as the aware that this was more or less true of every Government bureau. He concluded to try to conduct the public business in «pite of the Presence in the ofice of men who were by nature and association maicontents. A CONSPIRACY To GET HIM OUT. He found, however, he said, that these men were following him, spying upon his actions, and that there was evidently a conspiracy to get him out of office. He haa concluded that the time for forbearance was ended and that the interest of the public service demanded that the activity of such men should be stopped, as far at least as their connection with ‘the government was concerned. Gen. Raum stated that he was always ready and willing to meet any criticism upon his administration of the office. He was not afraid of his record since he had been com- missioner of pensions, but he believed in fair methods even ina fight. He added that he did not propose to be driven out of office and that the men who seemed to desire most his retire- ment to private life had adopted a policy which was most likely to defeat their object. GEN. BUSSEY SURPRISED. Secretary Noble was not at the department today and soit was impossible to obtain from him any idea of what his action would be in regard to Gen. Raum’s request. Gen. Bussey, the as- sistant secretary, who has the supervision of the affairs of the pension office, was informed today by a Stan man of Gen. Raum's request. He expressed surprise and said that he had heard nothing of such a request. He thought that if sucha paper had been sent to Secretary Noble from the commissioner of pensions he would have heard about it, and on this ground he was inclined to doybt that Gen. Raum had taken such a step, THE SITUATION SERIOUS. However, there is no doubt on this subject in the mind of Gen. Raum or of several of the leading officials ol the pension office. The situ- ation is regarded as a serious one from one point of view. There is no doubt that either these men must go or Gen. Raum can nolonger continue to be commissioner of pensions. At least that seems to be the general opinion. The men named by the comutssioner tor dismissal are on record as making certain charges, which Gen. Raum claims are false. He alleges that their motive is to injure him and drive Lim out of the office. From this standpoint these men are guilty of a gross form of insubordination, and their official heads must be the penalty the event that they fail to justuly the course which they have adopted. WHAT MR. TAYLOR SAYS. The men whose dismissal has been asked by Commissioner Raum wereseen today by a Stam reporter. They were all surprised to hear that this action had been taken and when informed by the reporter of this fact, — the; seemed to be a little doubtful whether it could actually be #0. How- ever, they soon recognized that it was not an impossivility and quite freely of the situatio: Mr. F. M. Taylor said that ifGen. Raum con- sidered that he was an enemy that the general was very much mistaken.
