embraced the opportunity to be with her
husband, even in prison.

jail. She had nothing but the money she
could earn, and when she could earn moth

Peninsula peach crop has undoubtedly been
destroyed. This is the opinion Of many

Zard, and the surprise is general that even
the trees withstood the cold.
This is the third successive destruction
of the crop. a grower who has kept a
record says there have been but four
good crops Of peaches within the past
sixteen years. As marking the sincerity
of at least one of the growers who say
the crop is killed, at Greenwood Tuesday

sold for s..
apples, pears, strawberries. and other
small fruit. excepting blackberries and
raspberries, are not believed TO be lady

Court Dress for American Diplomats.

The question of court dress for American
diplomatic representatives abroad is being
discussed at present, owing to a circular
letter issued on the subject at st. Peters
burg. According to the cablegrams the
circular formally notifies all foreign embas-
sizes and legations at St. Petersburg that
the court costume of a dark blue evening
coat, with a velvet collar and brass but
tons white or blue waistcoat and blue
trousers is prescribed for all persons not
otherwise entitled to wear uniforms who
attend court ceremonies. correspondent,
in speaking of the circular, says:
1.-THE Russian circular explicitly states
that the new regulations apply to all dis
tinguished foreigners and accredited rep
resentatives in Russia of such countries as
have not adopted for their diplomatic Of
fcers specific uniforms or costumes
at Is stated by those in a position to
know that similar measures are likely to
be taken at the courts of Berlin, Copen-
hagen. The Hague and Brussels. 1t is we'll
known that the plain black evening dress
worn by official representatives OF the
limited States is not recognized at ST.
Petersburg as suitable for occasions OF GER
emony, and is looked upon by the court
chamberlains very much as those assembled
at a dinner party in New York would re-
gard guest attred in tweed and knick-
erbockers.
"During an informal exchange of views,
(which nrecaded the issuance of the Russian
circular. already forwarded to the state de-
partment at Washington, Mr.. ROVER the
a,nbassador at st. Petersburg, earnestly re-
ouested the Russian authorizes 10 auopt
as plain a style for diplomatic omcers as
was consistent with the requirements IN
order to make IL accord with American
views on the subject The Russian govern
ment accepted the suggestion, and prescrlp-
ed a court costume of cloth instead Oh vel
