TWO OLD MEN FREED SANDY KILGoRE AND JAMES FOSTER LET LOOSE. Former Convict Was Sent Up for Life firm Montgomery and Lat
 ter for Ten Years from
 TaIiadega.

Governor Jelks yesterday extended exec utive clemency to two old men, Sandy Kilgore, convict from Montgomery County. and James Foster, a convict from Talladega. To the former a pardon was issued and to the latter a parole was given.
 kilgore was sentenced to life imprison- n.snt by a Montgomery Court for mur- der. He has served twenty years of his sentence and according to the convict of- ficlals he has made a model prisoner. The Board of Convict Inspectors unanimously requested his pardon.
 In granting the pardon the Governor endorsed it as follows:
 This is a very old man. He has been in the penitentiary for nearly twenty years. He was sent up for murder. The members of the Convict Board recom- mend his pardon. stating that his work in the department while in the custody of the State has been exceptional. The Board of Pardons are unanimous in rec ommending clemency His old wife. it is said, will be able to take care of him for a time. It is perhaps right and proper that he should be allowed to end his days in peace and freedom"
 James Foster was sentenced to ten years Imprisonment from Talladega for grand larceny Ills parote was recoh- mended by both the Board of Pardons and the Board of Convict Inspectors.
 In granting the parole the Governor said:

The trial judge and the Board of Pardons recommend that he be allowed to return to his home. It Is advised that a parole be granted him,

 Return to Its Old Course.

 Return to Its Old Course.
 New Orleans Picayune.
 Vicksburg. the chief city of Mississippi. celebrated in history and important com mercially, was once a great inland port for the steamers which piled upon the mighty Mississippi River. upon whose bank 1t was once situated.
 But the Mississippi, which built much of this section of the country by trans- porting from the mountains where it's head waters find their sources the mate rial which 1t poured into the Gulf of Mexico, and which is now solid land, has way of its own. and in not a few cases tears down the country it had created. This 1t did in the case of Vicksburg. for In the year 1876 the great river. carrying away no small part of the territory of Louisiana, opposite the Mississippi city. left Vicksburg some miles inland on the bank of a shallow lake.
 Vlcksburg ceased to be a river town, and was forced to establish its port at Kleinston. lower down. where the river eould be reached. For several years past the United States government has been at work digging a canal which will bring the river back to Vicksburg and make it once more an important port. This work Is approaching completion, and its con- summation will again enable the river boats to land in front of the city as of old.
 Unfortunately. steamboating on the Western rivers has not kept up with the requirements Of the times. The enormous improvements in the construction and op- esatlon of steam -vesse.s that have wrought so great revolution iu ocean commerce have rot been applied 10 the boats of the Western rivers. where ma chinery and methods that were ali that could be desired many years ago but are now obsolete are still in use.
 But all this is going to be changed. for the urgent needs of economy in transpor- tation will surely cause the utilization to the greatest advantage of the free navi- gable waterways, and the day will yet come when Vicksburg will once more en. joy a great river trade. That day will be most important one for all the peo- pie of the Mississippi Valley.

 ''It Is not at all bad" she says. "A rattlesnake is not nearly so unpleasant looking as an eel"
 The small lady was, of course, obliged to wear mans attire while threading the tropical jungle that had overgrown the Maya temples and palaces. High boots were necessary to keep the snakes from striking her lower limbs.
 "Oh, the freedom of that dressn' says madam. ''I long for 1t again. Civiliza- ton has nothing to compensate woman for the bondage of petticoats."
 And the feminine sex will say amen!
 The pair slept in hammocks so long that when they returned to the homes of white men madam found dIfhculty in com posing herself to slumber upon a mat tress. The modern Yucatanese are a kindly, rather timid folk, but among the mural paintings unearthed by the Le Plongeons are weird tracerfes of bloody human sacrihcial rites. They found alss undoubted emblems of freemasonry. They ascertained, too, that the May pole dance originated in Yucatan-at least there are PlcIures or the maya folk dancing it. How much older than the Maya folk it is there is up to date no means of ascer- taining.

Last year the wealthy of the cities
clad themselves in white, and, much to
their satisfaction, seemed to hold a
monopoly on this mode, womankind in
general not adopting the fashion to
any great extent. This year the ultra
fashionable will have to share the craze
for white with their less fortunate sis
ters. This is shown by the fact that
not only the shops patronized almost
exclusively by the wealthy, but those
:requented by the middle and poorer
classes, are showing white gowns in
great variety of style and material. 1t

The white gown that will wash is a
Prohtable investment. 1t will stand
laundering better than any colored
material and the woman who must
rust her summer clothes to the vicis-
htudes Of summer hotel laundries will
stand a better chance of getting
through the season presentably if she
depends upon white lawns, linens, etc,
than if she allows herself to be led
away from wisdom's path by the al
urements of the delicately tinted and
lowered wash goods. The latter NAV
stand careful laundering with some
degree of success, but the average
laundry of the summer resort is fairly
certain to rob them of their beauty in
very short space of time.

Linen is first fayorite, and although

Grafton of linen frocks, the tailored
frock of white linen has chic distinc-

for informal afternoon wear. All the

suits and other simple frocks of white,

though they have to a large extent
been supplanted by the linens.
The complete frock of one material
is, of course, the particular choice of
the season, but separate white skirts
OF heavy linen or cotton are sensible

thinner blouses more comfortably
than with blouses of their own weight.
Lawns in sheer quality are made up
more deliberately for afternoon frocks

more frail, are the French batistes,

Lace, which predominates in the
manufacture of these dainty accesso-
ries of the toilet, is simulated in va
rious materials. Happy the young
woman who can bring forth from the
family chest a bertha of duchesse lace,
a pelerine or fichu of Chantilly, or a
three-cornered shawl of Irish point or
guipure. Among the newer laces
which are exceedingly popular for col
lars and pelerines is the Paraguay lace,
with its delicate wheel patterns sug-
gestive of drawn work. This is often
combined with a heavier lace like gui-
pure or Arabian. If used alone it must
be worn with heavy delicate fabric
A noticeable feature connected with
the renaissance of the pelerine is the
absence of violent contrasts. For in
stance, white lace is not worn with
dark costumes for the street, but with
such as pale gray. ecru, mode and tan.
Black lace is combined with darker
