PEELED to hold them under the old quar-

culture, cattle originating in what is
known as the quarantine district may,
after having been properly dipped un.
der supervision of government in
spector in solution of flower of sui

without further restriction. It is pro.
vided, however, that permission must
first be obtained from the department

that cattle after being dipped are to be
certified by an inspector of the bureau
of animal industry. In accordance with
this order dipping vat has been con.
structed at the St. Louis Stock Yards,
and owners of Southern stocker and
feeder cattle may now ship to that sta

may be disposed Of at good, strong
prices. Heretofore cattle in quarantine

nj EW YORK.-A clever girl who is to
IN be one of the Thanksgiving brides
Is displaying much ingenuity in the
management of her trousseau.
In order to make little money pro-
vide for many social emergencies. every
ono of her tailor dresses is made with
a tight-titting basque and shirt waist,

close and easy bodices. Her evening
dresses have three waists each; one
decollete, one high in throat and with
elbow sleeves for receptions and small
dinners, and one dainty shirt for occa
sions even less formal.
This girls cloth costumes are almost
unique in their simplicity. The braid,
the embroidery. the applique of the
winters fashions are conspicuously alb
sent. "Why?' asked a girl friend who
had begged to accompany her to the
dressmaker.
We'll" said the Thanksgiving bride,
II do not quite subscribe to the doc
trine that a fashion that is fashion
is no longer fashion,; but my friends
who know tell me that from over-trim-
ming we shall swing back to little or
no trimming. and so l follow my own
taste for simple gowns"
"The finest costumes l have made
within month";" said the dressmaker
in consideration, ''are very little

is nearly finished, has tweed skirt in

1t is delightful to shop with q girl

For once in her life she can buy what
she wants, OF very nearly SO. This par
ticular girl met with her first serious
disappointment in front of long cape
of black velvet which rounded away in
front and hung in folds on the shoul-
ders. 1t was wonderfully pretty af-
fair, trimmed with rows of lace inser-
with deep founcc of broadtail at the
bottom. 1t had brocade lining and
was fastened at the throat with cream
lace scarf that reached to the ground.
The ripple shoulder cape of broadtail
was surmounted by high collar of the
same fur.
Isn't it provolling?" the little shop
per demanded. "When we had big
sleeves and needed capes to keep them
from crushing, the fashion was coats;
row that sleeves are smaller than the
arms, almost, the prettiest things are
capes, and capes of such shape and
length that most women are guys in
them. just look at me in this!"

were slain. only one, Tom Voolfolk,
escaping. He was the eldest son, and
after two court trials was hanged for
murder. because of circumstantial evil
dence against him. The South Caro-
linan, in the memorandum, says he
killed the Voolfolk family and was
especially anxious to kill Tom. In the
last line of the memorandum is the
sentences: TON was sly for me that
night, but I'm even with him at last"
This is supposed to refer to Toms ex-
ecution. A great many people have
always believed Tom guiltless. His
lawyer, John Rutherford, during ten
hour speech in the courthouse, ex-
claimed: II swear before Almighty
God l believe Tom Voolfolk did not
kill those people," "
In view of these facts, and also the
circumstance that Mr.. Young knows
the negro was about Macon during the
year in which the murder was COM
mitted, the memorandum book will
cause big sensation. The negro was
one of the most notorious criminals
ever run to cover in the south. He is
known to have killed no less than ten
people besides the Voolfolk family.

Tom Woolfolk's account of the murder

Wyman on Yellow Fever,

Surgeon General Wyman, of the
United States marine hospital service,
who was in New Orleans recently, yis-
tied in Memphis after having complet-
ed his southern tour of inspection. In
the course of an interview, published
in the Memphis Commercial-Appeal,
he said:
II incline to the belief that we shall
have no revisitation of the fever next
year, anyway, for the reason that our
past experiences with epidemics are
that they do not come in succession.
In 1875 that epidemic did not end the
visitation, but the fever returned in
1879, but failed to appear in 1880. Take
the case of Brunswick in 1893. A mild
epidemic occurred there, but no fever
returned the next year after all, and
there have been other instances of
this character. Again, we are all an
ticipating very severe winter, and
that always minimizes the chances of
danger the following year.
Up to the present time have never
made any statement as to where the
yellow fever in Mississippi came from,
some of the published reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The rea-
son I have made none is because l do
not know, and, Therefore, could not
have stated that it came from New Or
leans. This question is being closely
investigated by men in the service
now, and as soon as l am furnished
with sufficient material upon which to
base an opinionH will make a state
ment for the public. ! feel confident
that we shall arrive at the facts on
this score.''
