THE INTERVIEW UNAUTHORIZED
Mai. Carriere Denies Making Certain
Statements OF Dreyfus Matter.

Statements of Dreyfus Matter.
Paris. Dec e.-Mai Carriere (who
was prosecutor at the Rennes court
martial of Capt. Dreyfus and who has
lately been placed upon the retired
list) has written a letter to the morn
ing papers in which he characterizes
as unauthorized an interview with him
self published here this week. In this
interview Maj. Carriere was quoted as
saying that he could get no appoint
ment from the minister of justice as
the ministry hated him for urging the
condemnation of Dreyfus, and that
Gen. deGallifet, who was minister of
war at the time of the Rennes court
martial, had denied that he. Carriere,
had orders to sum UP in favor of Drey-
fus innocence.
Maj. Carriere says he must have
heen misunderstood as it had never
entered his head that Gallfet had or
dered him to conclude in favor of the
innocence of Dreyfus and that he had
never said So

DYNAMITE ExPLopEp ON ENGINE.

Jacksonville Metropolis: very Sc
rious accident occurred on the Plant
System, near Kissimmee. on last Fri
day, resulting in the death Of Fireman
E. NJ. Winn and the wounding of En-
gineer f. j. Miller. The train, No. rs,
left Tampa at 8: AS o'clock Friday morn
ing. When a few miles south of Kis-
simmee a terrific explosion occurred on
the engine, and while the report was
heard by some of the passengers moth
ing was thought of il, as the train did
not come to a. standstill. When making
a stop at that city the engineer report
ed to the conductor that his fireman
was lying dead in the engine, and that
he himself had been injured to some ex-
tent by an explosion. An investiga-
ton was made, and it was found that
a box containing dynamite torpedoes,
used in signalling. which was in the
cab, had exploded in some unaccount-
able way, with the above result and
taking away a portion of the top of
the cab. Engineer Miller stated when
nearing Kissimmee an explosion oc-
Cured. and he was rendered uncon-
scious. and did not know anything for
some time, The first he knew about
the accident was when he regained con-
seriousness near the station mentioned.
and that his head was hanging out of
the cab window. AS soon as he looked
into the cab he saw the form of his
fireman on the floor. He decided not TO
stop the train, but to run TO the next
station. He was unconscious for about
ten minutes. The body of the dead
fireman was taken into the depot, and
afterwards taken to Sanford OH the
same train. Upon examination it was
found that his neck and one of his
arms had been broken by the explos-
ion. and it is thought that death must
have been instantaneous.

A Word with Our Farmers.

Since there is to be no more New
Orleans molasses, and the maple forest
in the North and West. are fast being
destroyed by worms, and disappearing
by being cut away, should you not re-
double your effort to augment the
growing of sugar cane? Sorghum, as
you all doubtless know, cannot become
competitor with cane syrup Indeed,
there is nothing else that can. Our pine
lands are the finest in the world to
produce cane on account of their ready
action and response to fertilizers. They
will also produce all other crops which
are adapted to heavy loan or clav
lands. Therefore for general agricul-
tural purposes, and especially when
health is taken into account. this coun-
try should be esteemed above all 9th
ers. No richer field for investment can
be found. No finer climate No more

widely circulated journal to insert a
few extracts from a letter recently re-
ceived from noted Missourian to the

which the price is usually $1.25 per gall

and is so superior that we will not
wish to have any more sorghum, if we
can get for our table use. syrup from
Georgia. l take it from what you say,
that the cane crop is being increased
every year, and wish to give it as my
opinion that there will be a demand
for every gallon that can be spared
for the reason you have already given

WHIRL OF THE WORLD.

Never before have fashionable ladies of China shown as much interest in European costumes as they are show ing now. Though, like their spouses they are conservative in almost all things, they have not of late been able to close their eyes to the charm or modern fashions, and as a result they are now wearing on festive occasions 6 costume which is partly European and partly Chinese, and which is altogether d notable specimen of the sartorlal art.
 It is light blue in color and silk is the usual material of which It is fash ion. Over q long gown, which is cop iously ornamented with embroidery and miniature paintings falls a loose wrapper. and beneath this is a small jacket reaching to the waist. Around the necN is a collar, which is a dis tinctly European feature, but, on the othsr hand, above this is a headdress which is decidedly Chinese and the lat est invention of Q distinguished tailor in Pekir.
