Strange, Isn't Its

woman sees a hat or bonnet in milliners window. It Is in the latest style, so she determines to have that hat-or one just like 1t.
 No use to try to dissuade her-she wants that kind of a hat! No other will suit her.
 There she displays her will power. and probably does the same with ev- erything she buys for herself or her family She makes, as 1t were, fem mine Proclamation of Independence.
 Is it not surprising, therefore. to find some few women who still allow their grocers to choose for them in import ant matters like food stuffs?
 In spite of the fact that grocers as rule have long ago realized the neces- sity of catering to their customers rather than their own desires, there are still a few of the other kind left, who show a marked inclination to persuade customers to take what they do not ask for. or desire. .."~
 Take Lion Coffee, for instance. the leader of all package coffees, an estab- lished favorte for over twenty-five years in millions of homes, on account of it's absolutely pure and uniform quality.
 Wouldn't you think it impossible that a single grocer can still exist who would oppose such an invincibls srgu- ment of merit. by trying to Iar&hade a customer to buy loose coffee sn sNeS- erence to Lion Coffee?
 Loose coffee has no standard of qGat~ ity-nobody can guarantee that q is even clean.
 Of course, really independent and in- telllgent women know this. and so do up-to date grocers, but if women were a particular about coffee as about hats, NO kind of grocer could be without Lion Coffee. adv.

THE JIM CROW" LAW
NEW MEASURE GOES INTO EFFECT AT PENSACOLA.
Montgomery Horse the Winner in Race
 and Men from Alabama Capital Said to Have Made
 Money on Bets. ~:r i:

Pensacola, Fla. July 1.-(Special)- In accordance with the clause in the law. the somewhat famous Jim Crow" street car measure became effective this morning in this place, and in fact all over the State of Florida where a street railway system is operated. The cars were this morning placarded with instructions as to the observance Of the law, and the conductors in many cases bore stars under their coats de- noting the fact that. through pro vision of the law, they were delegated with police powers to see that the law was properly observed. The word of the conductor therefore has to be obeved, or else there Is trouble Tor those who resist him.
 There Is some confusion IS to this feature of the case. While the law gives police power to all the concuc- tors. and the latter individuals are at liberty to take a man to jail tor disobedience of the new statute, still 1t Is not violation of any city ordi- nance for whites and negroes to sit together on the cars. and there is some doubt as to the proper charge that would he formulated against an offend CT. It Is known that an ordinance has heen proposed 10 cover this feature. however. -. s.-
 There arc no screens In the cars, as had been at first proposed. The white passengers are required to take the front seats and to occupy the vacant seats nearest the front end Of the car, while the negro is compelled to take a back seat and to fill the seats toward the middle of the car. This somewha t simnIifes matters, but it makes d great deal of work for the conductor, who is called on continually to inter pret the law. .*...--=-
 One of the worst features of the new order of things to a gre1t many peo- pie Is the han placed on smoking. No smoking at all is allowed on the cars, and there is more gene ral objection to this rule than anything alse. It w2s until recently the case that man was allowed to stand on the rear platform and puff away at good or bad cigar as the case might bH. but the rear platform is in the division set aside for thh negroes. and no riding there by whites is permitted.
 Despite the fact thlt the negro is given as much consideration in the opera ton of the law as the white citi- zen. there are but few of them riding, and the boycott extending over some weeks is now as strong as ever. Some of the negroes bear badges on the lapols of their coats with the ono word walk" written thereon. It Is the opinion. however, that tho "Cgrocs will begin riding with the old-time interest Shol tlY.

Cruelty Must Stop.

Recorder Laney this morning had a defendant named Adams before him for cruelty to animals. This defendant was a negro. and 1t was represented that he had beaten poor horse very brutally; in fact, had almost beaten the life out of the brue for very little reason. Recorder Laney said to him that next to being cruel to q child. the beating of a horse was the most brutal and showed a depraved nature; that anyone coming to his court for any such charge must expect no clemency; that anyone guilty of such an offense was nothing short of demon.
 The defendant was trying to make his own and living for his mother, and this alone, the Recorder said. impelled the court to assess a smaller fine The penalty was $10 and costs, and the lec- ture had most salutary effect.

AnInteresting Mecting.

An interesting meeting of the City Council has been called for Monday at noon and there are likely to be some very interesting developments. Some ten days ago. Mayor Bliss. In a commit nication to the Council concerning the manner of the purchase of feed for city stock, made the assertion that for some years past, the city had been system aticnlly robbed" through this business.
 Alderman Muldon. who was a chair man of the Finance Committee, and who had a great deal to do with the disburs- ing of the city funds. like some of the other committee chairmen took the May or's assertion as a personal reflection, and Mir. Muldon, to get at the root of the matter introduced resolution call ing upon the Mayor to produce the evi- dence to substantiate such a grave charge.
 The meeting was to have been held at noon Friday, but the Mayor was not ready with his evidence. and it was postponed for several days. Whichever way this case goes, there will be some very interesting developments
