HE KILLED HIS MAN
NEGRO MURDERER IS TAKEN BY
 DEPUTY.
AssassInated Young Sweatt at MuskO- gee, Five Years Ago, and Died Resisting Arrest Saturday
 at GuIfPOrt, Miss.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 9,-(special)- A long distance telephone message to- night from Chief Deputy Sheriff San ders. who is at Gulfport, Miss, stated that in an attempt to take Beeley Goldsmith, the murderer of James Sweat, young man who was killed five years ago, that the negro had been killed today some miles from Gulf port.
 The officer who went from here Fri day to. capture the man, will return tomorrow, bringing the body of the
 murderer with him. But little infor- nation was given over the phone by the chief deputy, except that the ne- gro died fighting, and that two of the Mississippi officers were with him at the time.
 The murder of James Sweat near MuscogCe, Fla, five years ago, caused much excitement at the time Several deputy sheriffs went from this city to Muscugee, q saw mill town, to arrest some negroes. They secured a locomo- tive engine and deputlzed several cit izcns to assist them. On the return trip with several prisoners in charge they were fired upon from behind piles | of lumber.
 Young Sweat was killed and all though number of negroes were ar rested they were cleared at the trial. Although five years had passed the
 Sheriff had not given up hope of cap
 turing the murderer and last week he { obtained information showing that | Beelcy Goldsmith had committed the
 deed and that he was accompanied by sydney Williams. another negro.
 The latter was still at Muscogee, while Goldsmith was located at Gulf port The simultaneous arrest of the two negroes was planned, Chief Dep Sheriff to Muscogee. The Sheriff suc-
 ceeded in capturing the man by req
 son of the fact that while the negro
 was at work he got within few feet
 of him and then covered him with a ! revolver.
 | It was expected that the chief dep uty would be heard from Saturday i but nothing was learaed until today when he informed the Sheriff that tho man had been killed

Late FriHs of Fashion.

menterie or embroidery. For an es
sentially simple style OF dress a long
sleeved waist is infinitely more appro-
pirate and far more comfortable than
the elbow sleeve. Long kid gloves are
singularly out of keeping with a rough
cheviot walking suit, and then, also,
long gloves worn daily are consider
able item upon the expense list.
For house gowns and all elaborate
gowns short sleeves, being fashion
able now, look very smart, and will
be worn through the winter at any
rate, but already they are not near
ly so popular for the morning as was
the case a few months ago.
A fine quality of broadcloth can be
made up over thin silk, or even cot.
ton lining will not be uncomfortably
heavy even for the house, but there
are few of the rough cloths that make
satisfactory waists.
If a heavy cloth is chosen-and
many of the rough mixed goods are
excellent for this time of year a
waist of silk or chiffon cloth trimmed
with straps of the material is always
attractive and most useful. A chif.
fon body is pretty, but too light and
perishable for wear with anything but
the finest cloth. There are, as usual,
numberless silks displayed this sea.

new. Generally these silks are we'll
known qualities that have been re.
christened and made fashionable once
more. AS a rule the satin-finished,
soft silk wears better than the stiff,
unfinished taffeta.
At this time of year red is always
favorite shade and is now fashion
able in all possible tones, from bright
red to deep wine color. This last is
to be one of the most fashionable
shades for the coming winter

Flower Trimming in AGAIN.


Flower trimming is coming bacl
again, and while the imitatio.
wreaths and garlands are of the VIEW
best quality of silk and velvet. still
they are not the chiffon and ribbon
flowers that have been seen for the
last two or three winters, although. of
course, the latter are still used. Soft
plnks and blues are combined at
tractively, but this year there is not
so much evidence of sharp color con.
trasts as formerly, many tones of
the same shade being apparently pre-.
ferred.
Black and white is ever effective
and the black and white evening
gowns of this season are quite gor.
geous. Lace half black and half
white, deliberately trimmed with large
Jet ornaments, garlands o. velvet or
satin, ribbon being worl ed in be-
tween, is quite as effect I've as the
description gives one to imagin and
"hlle this gown may sound expensive.
IL is not an extravagant style OF
aress, for the wear that it will give is
astonishing.

A white waist is generally consld'
cred correct with a cloth suit just as
long as the weather permits of so thin

silk or cloth waist of the color of the
skirt is bound to look somewhat
smarter, and, besides, far more eco

Is an easy matter to get an extra two
or three yards for the waist, even II
it is not to be made up by the tailor,
while if the, suit is ordered directly
from the tailor he can always match
his material and procure an extra al
owance for the bodice
The one-piece dress is still popular,
but in cloth princess gown is too
hot to be worn, day in, day out so
that unless there can be more than
one walking suit provided a separate
waist and skirt is the better invest

Then, too, walking suit is always
short and a princess gown is gen

train, save, of course, made up in
some fine material as lace or muslin
Simple models are best in cloth,
for there must be as few folds and
plaits of the material as possible.
The surpliCe effect, if made to fit
perfectly, is good, as the cloth simply
crosses over front and back, leaving
little V-shaped opening for the

German Trade In Brazil.

Germans are now doing much of the
business in Brazil that was formerly
carried on by British manufacturers.
This is due primarily, to the fact that
the German salesman is particularly
well equipped in business training
languages, and adaptability, to secure
the confidence of the Brazilians, and
secondly to the fact that German
houses will modify their goods to
meet the special Brazilian require
ments At the same time German
goods are not well thought of in Brazil
and where the proper effort Is made
American goods will always sell in
preference to German goods even at
considerably higher price. For ex-
ample, nine-tenths of an the electri-
cal machinery in Brazil Is American.

Marvellous is the fortune of Japan.
The only nation that might stay her
continental strides toward empire is
paralyZed by revolutionary struggles
against government whose existence
is monstrous anachronism. The ma.
lions which must meet her on the
worldwide field of industrial war have
tied their own hands with vain eco
nomic theories belonging to a dead
time. There is no nation so practical
as the Japanese. What Is best to be
done, that thing they do. Their consti.
tuition is not invoked to inhibit the
general welfare and stay up the priv

dead to them and they modify their

we believe theoretically they put in

Perhaps the school teacher had one,
