A Savannah special says: G. s.
Godbold. Atlantic Coast Line special
agent, Monday afternoon arrested an
entire train crew of the Atlantic Coast
Line for robbing a car on the night
Of November 10.
The men placed under arrest are:
J. ]. Reed. engineer; c. C. Clements,

The detective went to the homes
of some Of the men and secured evil
dence in the shape of fine hats and
shoes, which he presented before JUS
tice Bevans as evidence.
The men made no resistance when
arrested in the railroad yards.
According to the evidence, the men
carried the car out from the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharf to the
Central junction, thence to the At
lantic Coast LineS Companys yards.
This act is regarded as one Of the
boldest in the history of railoading..

"a New type of Microscope.

A new type of high-power micro
scope invented by Mr.. J. W. Gordon
was recently exhibited in London.
Says The Scientific American Supple
ment: 1T is well-known fact that
when high magnidcation is attempted
by series of lenses arranged In con-.
ventionaI manner, the .emergent team
of light which enters the eye Of the
observer is so small that vision is de-
fcient, owing to the fact that the pupil
of the eye is not entirely filed with
light. It is consequently apparent
that in order to obtain satisfactory
results In excessive magnifcation the.
emergent ray should be. expanded In
such a way as to fill the pepil OF the
eye. This result is achieved In this
microscope of Mr. ]. w. Gordon. 1t
comprises an ordinary microscope with
an eccentrically rotating glass screen
with finely grained surface placed IN
the view-feld. This is viewed through
a second microscope which has an
obiect-glass Of half an inch, by means
of which a further magnifcation OF
100 diameters is rendered possible.
fhe transmitted emergent beam is ex-
panded by the ground-glass screen so
that it fills the second microscope, and
there are no imperfections whatever
in the magnffcations. The inventor
demonstrated this by magnifying q
diatom to 10000 diameters, and Its
structure was perfectly clear and de-
fined right to the edges. A compre-
hensive idea Of the extent OF this ex-
eessive magnifcation may be gathered
from the fact that if the eye OF an
ordinary house-ly were magnified on
the same scale it would cover an area
of 312 feet. The idea Of the ground
grained screen being made to revolye
is to prevent the grain thereon be-
coming visible and thereby interfering
with the magnifying Of the subject
under observation, while as 1t is not
in contact with either Of the micro
scopes there is a complete absence OF
vibration"

Both the daily papers OF Jackson,
which are democratic, condemn the

The News says: "The people of
Mississippi expect more Of their gov

hatred. They expect him to be a
broad-minded man, who in every re-
lation of life will meet courtesy by

The Clarion Ledger says: Gov

of mixing politics, sectional feeling
and personal dislikes with state, na-
tional and business affairs. when he
makes a sarcastic reply that will be
quoted from Maine to California, from

RraIds and Rufflea.

No one can see the limit to which braid
ing will be carried. The most elaborate
gowns are not free from it, It is used as
daringly on liberty satin as it is on cot
ton etamine, and one has learned not to
expect handsome taffeta frock without
dozens of yards Of braid on its edges.
This braiding fashion has opened UP a
new waistline on short jackets. Instead
Of q belt, the jacket is pulled into q
snug fit by four or six bands Of braid
which are fastened in front by small gilt
or silver buckles. The effect is very much
admired It saves the nuisance Of a belt
on a Jacket and contributes to the snug
high fit demanded of every waistline.
There is no end to the ruffles, also.
They are wrapped about frocks as stripes
are about a BARRIERS pole. Small and
deep they cover most of the surface This
sounds hopeless for the stout woman, but
even she has found methods Of using
ruffles without seriously abusing her fig
ure.
Rope shirring is by no means novelty,
but 1t is being treated in a novel way
Rope shirrings are set around the hips
and finished with the narrowest little frills.
These frills are really too narrow to be
called ruffles. They are, as their name
asserts, simply frills. They are no more
than a quarter or half an inch wide and
they are made of lace or of very narrow
ribbon. Sometimes the tiny frill is a
silk frill on the bias, single or double.

Veil Possibilities.


It Is astonishing what one can do III

There come wells in every color, and they
are arranged over the hat in every man

this season, is used not so much to veil
the face as to trim the hat.
1t seems to be the fad this year to wear
as many wells as possible. Two face wells
are worn. The one next the countena nee
is exquisitely fine and may be of the most
delicate gauze. 1t is white or cream or
flesh color. And over this there falls a
handsome dotted veil. This last can lie
a raspberry VEIL or one with the dangling
ball wells, for there Is no limit to veil
trimmings. The shaded wells in red and
rose and rose-pink are bordered with tiny
roses that are sewed on at intervals of d
quarter of an inch, and these make a very
pretty frame for a pretty face.
Then there is the veil which Is flower
trimmed. There is a row of small flow
ers tackled all around the edge of the veil
to form a border, and at the back, there
is bunch or spray, as the case may be,
Of these same flowers arranged to fall over
