Grenada, Miss, March 21.-An anti
lynching crusade has been inaugur-

United Confederate Veterans, of this
city. The following significant reso-

mentionable crime.
Second, That as Confederate veter-
ans and law abiding citizens of Mis-
sissippi and of the United States, we
are violently, vehemcntly and eternal

human being for any crime what
soever.
Third, That we appeal to all Con-
federates, their wives and daughters,
to arise in their might and by pre-
cept and example, voice and pen,
moral force and influence, uelp
put stop to this diabolical, barbaric,
unlawful, inhuma', and ungodly crime

TWO ACCIDENTS IN A DAY.
steamer New York Relieved to be Scri.
Ously Damaged.

DhHAGcus
Southampton, March 21.-The
American line steamship New York,
from New York for Plymouth, Cher
bourg and Southampton, met with
two mishaps Sunday, grounding off
Cape La Hogue, France, in the early
morning and later coming into col
lision in the English channel with the
Peninsular and Oriental steamship
Assaye, under contract to the British
government and used at troopship,
hound for Bombay with 500 troops on
board.
The New York grounded while ap-
preaching Cherbourg at $3.50 o'clock
in the morning, during n fog. The
sea was smooth, however, and the
tide was on the flood and within an
hour and half the vessel was float
ed without assistance. Her bottom
was damaged and there was water in
the holds, but she was able to pro-
ceed.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog descended. When off Hurst
Castle, England, the Assaye suddenly
appeared and it was found impossible
to avoid a collision. The New York's
board bow, tearing great cash in
that vessel. The New York's bow
spirit and figurehead were carried
away and the latter was smashed into
fragments.
There was great excitement, but no
panic on either vessel. The boats of
the Assaye were lowered and tho
troops were mustered, but the bulk
head of the troopship saved her.
Both vessels were able to enter
Southampton and the New York was
docked for temporary repairs. No
body was injured. 1t will be impos-
sible to estimate the damage to the
New York until she has been put into
dry dock
1t is believed that both vessels have
been somewhat seriously injured. An
other troopship will replace the
ASsaye.

Feshion to-day DEGREES, and very
rightly, that though our blouses and
skirts need not exactly match they
must be in harmony. That is to say,
with a gray cashmere of crepe de
chine skirt we may wear a blouse or
picturesque bodice made of lace, but
connected in some way with the skirt.
We may not wear black skirt and
cream lace blouse, but if we don a
pale green cloth skirt We msy wear
pale green chiffon blouse. We hear of
the readymade black silk skirt, and
We realize that it is most useful
standby in our wardrobes in cases of
emergency, and if we have a variety of
black blouses they are all very well,
but they will not do to wear with our
pretty, dainty lacy tea-jacket; such
combination looks exceedingly COM
monplace, and the little coates at once
appear to have been manufactured out
of sale remnants.
Personally l always think a COM
promise in these matters Is a mistake,
and the best plan is TO turn a toilette
de reception of some lacy confection
into a five o'clock picture gown. tea
gown, or whatever you like to call it.
There is great fancy this season for
the cream under-dress, covered with
black Chantilly, black net or some 9TH
er soft, light black fabric. Nothing is
more useful than this and the same
idea may be carried out with coffee
lace over white which, in my opinion,
is prettier still.
A careful planning of these slips
with overdresses will be quite certain
to ensure your having gowns suitable
for many occasions, both for afternoon
and evening wear. And with the pres
ent-day fuller skirt, in souple fabrics
this is an elegant as well as useful
fashion,

worth little trouble, for it offers great
possibilities for summer opera cloak.
We now hear and talk of the tiara
hat, which simply means a toque of
flowers standing up rather high in
tiara fashion, the crown being filled
in with tulle or chiffon. Such head
gear is rather trying and the picture
hat which affords some shade to the
eyes is infinitely more becoming.

lively inexpensive models are shown
