scotch Heather Js Something New In
Millinery.
Scotch heather, either with pink or pear
ly bells. is something new for the spring
millinery. For little girl or young maiden
there is nothing sweetcr For their elders
there is suitable variety. but, oddly enough.
none of the velvet and satin flowers are
of medium size. Tho montures ana sprays
are OF tiny. fine lowers, like heiiotrope
hnncysucble or forget me-nots. II you do
not want these wee blossoms. which are
strictly la mode, then select one or two
very. large flowers, couple OF brides
maid" roses. two or three large orchids
or peony life-size. 1t looks as II the
fashionable mlliner had no use for
medium sized flowers this season. Dahlas
and hollyhochs are shown IN rich, yelyety
profusion. Princes feather is exactly imi-
tated. 80 liz gladiolus and the humble zin-
Ming.

SITUATION Ar COLUMBUS.
Guards withdraw and the Rcfu-
gees Returning.

Columbus. Texas. March 15.--Mrs
Broadbridge and Misses Mcknight and
Gonzales. the trained nurses who have
been engaged here attending smallpox pa
tients, left for their homes in San Antonio
this morning. The guards have been re-
moved from the roads leading out of town
and the only quarantine restrictions in
force are at the pest house and few
houses considered suspicious for few
more days.
Families who fled from the disease are
returning, visitors from other towns are
appearing on the streets and the place is
assuming its natural aspect. A few more
cases may be expected to develop in some
of the houses exposed, but they are well
isolated. and the town is probably safer
than some OF the West Texas towns, where
it is reported smallpox exists the year
round. To date there have been twenty
three cases, with four deaths.

DEEP SEA FISHING.
New Industry Is to BE Developed mt
RncknOrf.

Rockport Texas, March A.-Mr. Louis
eobolini Is preparing to test deep water
fishing this summer in the gulf. The
schooner Louise and another craft are
row fitting out for the enterprise. The
seine to be first used is twenty-five feet
deep and 1900 feet long. Spanish mack
eiel bluefsh and pompano are the game
sought, and as they are here now and
through the summer in countless num-
bers, it is predicted that success will at
tend this new departure. Tho fishing Will
be done in the gulf and will necessarily
be confined TO fair weather. These fish
are usually present in the bays in the
spring and early summer in limited num-
hers but nothing TO compare with the mil
lions that are outside in the gulf.
Mr.. Cobolinis new enterprise will be
watched with interest and earnest wishes
for its complete success.
