In Its New Form.

A turnover collar finished the top and
that was too far gone to be used at all in
its present form. but by creditable piece
OF transfer work a lovely chemisette is
achieved.
The old collar was cut up. each little
sprig and flower being carefully cut out
separately. then patiently stitched to the
other part. applying them where the foun-
dation was darned. completely covering the
poor places. though making closer pat
tern by so doing.
One medallion was left for the front Of
the collar. which is made OF lace and null,
harmoniZing. though not matching with the
embroidery.
The work occupied only one afternoon
and an accessory Of dress is obtained which
cannot be found in shops or duplicated, as
the old French work is seldom initiated in
these hurrYing DAYS.

To Do Transferring"

This work was called transferring. ana
differs from our present day appliques. Now
medalIons or squares or sections are ap-
piled and the material cut out at the back,
but in the old work single sprlgs, sprays
and flowers were cut out and applied at In
tervals as If embroidered directly on the
foundation a set design was followed,
with the same appearance.
Having such flowers or designs to apply
signifies that they were once embroidered
on a material which had worn out leaving
the worked part intact, so 1t was an econ
omy of time money to make the hand
work do double service on two succeeding
garments or articles.
Collars, cuffs undersleeves and handker-
chiefs were favoTtte objects for this deco
ration and probably in many families are
such bits Of old-time industry. some OF
which are being brought again to tina fore
to serve either in the old form or to be
once again transferred TO some more mod
ern bit OF finery.
Besides applying cut-out embroidertes tt
garments directly they were often seweo
onto net, and that was inserted In the form
of bands In heavier material

LONDON. September 9. 1905.
The results of the Portsmouth conference
have been discussed here from almost every
conceivable standpoint for after the first
burst of thankfulness thatta peculiarly hor-
rible and devastating war had been brought
to close, everybody has realized that the
treaty of Portsmouth Is fraught with the
most farreaching consequences for the fu-
ture of the word. For one thing, 1t is rec
ognzed that 1t Is not Russia alone who
must abandon her dreams Of expansion in
eastern Asia. Henceforward the hegemony
of Japan in the eastern Pacific Is an indis
putable fact and the power which next to
Russia will be most seriously affected Is
Germany, whose schemes of future expan-
sion in the Chinese empire have received
their death-blow. France will also have to
content herself with the possessions she
has already acquired in eastern ASIA and
is far from feeling any confidence that she
will be able to retain her hold on her en-
pire In 1ndoLChina. Great Britain.s position
will be less affected. 1t is foreseen, than
that Of any Of the other European powers.
not only because of her alliance with ia
pan. but because her rulers have never been
anxious to add to the already overwhelming
burden OF her territorial responsibilities at
| the expense Of China. and have only de-
sired the maintenance OF the open door
| for British trade.
A subject much discussed is the future
| commercial policy of Japan. and In some
| quarters fears are expressed that eventually
| she may adopt policy of exclusion in far
| eastern Asia. But the prevailing opinion
| Is that Japan will adhere strictly to her
| declarations in favor of the open door, and
| Will be content to rely the natural ad-
| vantageS which she enjoys in proximity to
| the Chinese markets and a supply of cheap
| labor to enable her to obtain a comma nding
| position in the trade of the Chinese empire
AS to the European side OF the question
there are two views to which have heard
expression given in various quarters The
| one is that the restoration of Russia to her
| place In Europe-discredited and impover-
| ished as she undoubtedly Is by the war
| VIII nevertheless naturally strengthen the
| position of France, and contribute to the
| adoption on the part of Germany of a less
! aggressive attitude at the Morocco confer
| ence This. of course. assumes the contin-
| ued validity of the dual alliance, which has
| certainly been somewhat shaken by the
| events of the past nineteen months II this
| assumption Is well founded Germany will
| be stlu further Isolated. and some portion
| at least of the irritation which this condi-
| ton of things will undoubtedly create in

State Treasurer Miller makes the
interesting announcement that in the
event Governor Vardaman finds it ne
cessary to borrow funds to maintain
the state quarantine, as authorized to
do under a recent legislative referen-
dunn, he will refuse to receive such
funds, and the disbursements must be
made through some other source. In
explaining his reasons for adopting
this policy Mr.. Miller states that he
has no authority in law to pay out
money from the treasury vaults for
which no Legislative appropriation
has been made, and he does not care
to act as private disbursing agency.
The treasurer is undoubtedly acting
in strict accordance with the statutes
in announcing this conclusion. There
fore, if Governor Vardaman borrows
money to maintain the quarantine, as
it is almost certain he will be com.
PEELED to do, the funds will have tC
be handled through one of the loca
banks, and the state board of health
will make all of its payments in this
manner. The state treasurer stands
on the recent decision of the supreme
court in the Care Colbert cancella
tion case wherein it was specifically
held that money cannot be received
or paid out at the state treasur,
without legislative provision there.

We reproduce below, in corrected
form, a paragraph, the sense of which,
as printed on the editorial page, was
destroyed by the accidental omission
of several lines:
Some of the whitecappers of
Franklin county are hard lot, and
leniency of the courts was bestowed
on unappreciative law breakers. 1t
seems that quite number of the
three hundred whitecappers against
whom indictments are now stand
ing, are intimidating the witnes-
ses who gave evidence against
them. The welfare of Franklin as
well as the good name of Mississippi
demand that every person in the
state has full protection for life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of an honest
avocation for livelihood. No one Of
means will enter county for the
purpose of making it a home, where
there is danger of being disturbed by
nightly gangs of toughs. If some Of
the gang are connected with goot
people, their friends had better make
up a purse and send them to Mexico
they will be quiet out there and pu
in some good work for their dali,

A Greenwood dispatch to the dailies
says: Interest is being revived in the
proposed electric railway for this
city. The charter granted to the
Greenwood Electric Light Company
last year will expire in November and
the promoters of the road assert that
they will be ready to begin construc-
tion in time to prevent the expiration
of this valuable franchise. Green.
wood has more than 1000 population
and is growing rapidly. There is not
a vacant house of any sort in the city
and residence property has advanced
twenty-five to thirty per cent during
the past year. 1t is believed that the
erection of a street railway will stim.
ulate the erection of more residences
and thus bring the price OF property
to a more sensible basis. The pro
posed electric road will also extenC
to the neighboring town of Itta Bena
eight miles distant, and another lint
has been surveyed to Black Hawk, il
Carroll county. The board of super
visors of Lehore county has issued al
order requiring the removal of rail
road for a distance of more thai
half a mile. The road in question il
owned by J. l.. Haley, of Itta Bena
and extends northwest from tha
town. 1t infringes on the right o.
way to the public road for some dis
tance and the supervisors acted on ;
petition from citizens. This is tht
first instance in Mississippi where I

An Object Lesson.

city last night DR.. Juan Guiteras, who
has had charge of the fight against
yellow fever in Havana for years, and
who has perhaps had more experience
in dealing with that disease than any
other man in the world, made a no.
table address. He told graphically
how city that had been for cen-
turies known universally as the hot
bed of yellow fever had been taken in
hand by scientific sanitarians and in
a short time had been made one Of
the cleanest and healthiest cities in
the world.
Since Sept. 28th, 1901, DR.. Guiteras
declared, not a case of yellow fever
has appeared in Havana except such
cases as had come in on ships from
other infected ports, and in such cases
there has been no spread of the dis
ease and no fear on the part of the
people,
Adverting to the wild shotgun quar-
antines that have been instituted in
so many sections of the country, DR..
Guiteras pointed out the way they do
things in Havana. Suppose, said
he, that a boat should come into our
harbor at Havana on which there was
a yellow fever patient. Would we
get out shotguns and drive the victim
away? Indeed, we would not. Yellow
fever patients are welcome to the city
of Havana, after they get there. In
case there was a victim in the harbor
steam launch would be sent out
armed with mosquito bar. The
launch itself would be screened and
the patient would be taken aboard
The launch would be met at the shore
by a screened ambulance, such as yor
have here now, and that patient woulc
be taken directly through the busiest
part of the city to the other end O
the town to the screened hospital
This has been going on since 1901
and not a single case of fever has de
veloped during that time. In case
where the fever victims were accom-
} panied by companions, by husbands
or wives, fathers or mothers, we hav
fallowed the companions to occupy th
same room with the yellow fever pa
tients, and without bad results. On
