Jacksonville, Fla, November IL
The end of all interference with rail
road traffic by yellow fever restric-,
tons has practically been reached.
Matters are now virtually in NORMAN
condition. The quarantine regulations
in Florida have been so far modified
as to permit passengers from all
northern points entering the State
without trouble or annoyance. The
Louisville & Nashville railroad and
Plant system, which practically hold
the key to Florida travel from the
northwest, announce the resumption
of through sleeping car service to
Jacksonville and other points Wis
Montgomery. This restores business
with Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis
and elsewhere to the usual plane.

were higher things.
So he talked that day and the next,
until from thoughts of the loss of the
Lascar we had drifted far into wider
and more perilous speculations. The
American held to his canon. War was
often better than peace, and open mas
sacre than corrupt tranquility. We
wanted some of the robust spirit of the
Middle Ages in these, our piping days
The talk turned on the persecution of
the Jews in Russia. The American de-
Tended it; a stern people were purging
itself of an alien element which, like
an interminate tapeworm, had been
preying on its vitals. The remedy was
drastic but necessary; life was lost
but also life was saved.
Then coming to closer quarters we
talked of murder. The American held
to the doctrine Of Sterne. 1t was a
hard case that the laws of the modern
world should not have made any man
ner Of difference between numbering
an honest man and only executing
scoundrel. These things should always
be rated ad valorem. AS for blood
split in self-defense at was folly 10
talk of it as crime. Even the laws OF
my own effeminate land justified the
man who struck down the arm that
was raised to kill him; and the mind
that reckoned such an act as an offense
was morbid and diseased.
Such opinions were repugnant to me
and l tried to resist them. There was
a sanctity about human life which no
man should dare to outrage. God gave
it, and only God should take it away.
AS for the government Of the world,
let it be for better of for worse, it
was in Gods hands and God required
the help of no man.
My resistance was useless. The
American held to his doctrine; it was
good to take life in a good cause; and
= if it was good for the nation it was
good for the individual man. The end
was all.

and mulls, are generally made up over
complete underdress of taffeta, col
ored or white as the goods may re-
quire, and to suit the taste of the
wearer. Black and white is always
fashionable. striking and elegant, and
looks eqpally well on old and young.
Black lace over white silk has patches
of color, yellow, red or green, to add to
the color effect, in belt, collar. choux,
or bow trimming.
Dotted null or Swiss has again risen
to higher uses than window curtaining.
1t looks particularly well on young
girls and we place before the Amer
lean public today a model made of
white dotted null over white taffeta.
The gown suits the slender figure as
the skirt is triple, taking the form of
three large f1ounces, each f1ounce being
edged with real vaienciennes lace and
trimmed with insertion. The blouse
bodice is made of valenciennes net over
a closefitting Tnderwaist of white taft
feta and is so arranged as 20 make
very slight V-shaped decollete at the
throat, while the silk underwaist is cut
quite low. This proves very fiattering
to the neck and throat, as they are
yelled by the lace only, and it is cool
besides. The unlined closeftting sleeve
may be made of lace or null. and is
trimmed with three full lace edged
fiounces of null entirely covering the
upper arm and Stimulating the form of
the skirt. The lace bodice is confined
ar the waist by folded belt of wide
white taffeta ribbon. Straps Of the
same run from the front of the belt up
ward to the shoulders where they form
graceful butterfly bows and extend
further along the back following the
line of the decollete and finally end in
the middle of the back by a bow and
long streamers reaching almost to the
hem of the skirt. This girlish and airy
costume is suitable for both out and in
door wear. When worn for the prom
enade or for calling large white leg
horn hat trimmed with white ribbon
and plumes and punches of pink apple
blossoms adds to the charm of the
toilette.

Grenadines are great favorites. They
are made up over plain or changeable
taffeta and can be bought at prices to
suit all purses. A model of black
grenadine with satin stripe encircled
by a floral design is made up over
changeable green and blue taffeta. The
closefitting skirt is given a tablier ef-

ming from a point in front diagonally
along the sides and forming an upward
point at the back. The blouse bodice
of grenadine is drawn loosely over a
