The steam yacht Rose Marine, which left England in October, 1903, to search for the treasure which tradition says pirates concealed on Cocos Island, in the Pacific, has returned to southamp- ton. Captain Mathews, the skipper, is retieent as to the results of the voyage, and only says that his belief in the project has been strengthened. The work of searching the island is very difficult.

Consul General Lay, at Canton. sees several causes for the temporary de- cline of the silk industry in his consul ar district. One Is recent unfavorabla exchange conditions; another Is the di- version of capital to more tempting in- vestments. There is still a third cause "The Chinese use no discretion when buying cocoons," writes the consul gen eral, "and generally pay for too much; so that when the silk is reeled the cost Is too high in proportion to 'Japans' -snd Italians and in order to compete lower prices have to be accepted, which in many cases show losses to the fila lures Advice from foreigners is utter " Ignored in this as in other respects. and it is only hard experience and heavy losses which will teach the Chin csc to use more discretion. When this is learned, production is sure to in- crease and business become more re- munerative"

THE TAcTFuL WOMAN.

Among the qualities most essen
tial to women, tact may fairly take a
front place, for without it, words
spoken and things done with the best
motives not only often fail of their
end, but may even be productive
sometimes of the very evils which
they were intended to prevent. No
human being can afford to be devoid
of tact, although great many peo-
pie are in that condition. but it is
especially necessary to those whose
strength lies in their weakness, or,
in other words, those whose judg-
ment and responsiveness are the
only weapons, says Woman's Life. A
tactless woman stirs up the elements
instead of soothing them, and drives
those about her nearly to desperation,
simply because, from never studying
their peculiarities and hobbies, she
has no idea of what will please or
offend, and consequently she says
and does things (which rub them
the wrong way" and irritate beyond
bearing.

GIANT SHIPS COLLIDE
And ThiFteen Passengers and Sailors
Lose Life.-VesselS Were Kaiser
Wilhelm and 0anoco.

A special from Cherbourg. France,
says: The big liners, the Kaiser VIII
helm der Crosse and the OT1nOcO. col
lided In the English channel Wednes-
day night at 3 o'clock. AS q result
10 storage passengers and sailors
were killed, each vessel was seriously
damaged, and the two steamers have
returned to port for repairs.
The Kaiser wilhelm der Crosse be-
longs TO the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. She carried 258
first class passengers, $50 in the Sec
Ond cabin and 697 in the steerage. She
left Southampton and Cherbourg We'd
nesday for New York. The orinoco,
which belongs to the British Royal
Mall Steamship company, had cleared
from Southampton for West Indian
ports and New York. The passengers
Of the German vessel will be trans
shipped and leave France for New
York Saturday. The Orinoco's pas
sengsrs will be sent forward from
Southampton on November %.
The shock of the collision was ter
rife and created panic on board
each ship. Order, however, was quick
ly restored, but not before a small
boat lowered from the Orinoco had
been swamped by the effort Of the fear
stricken passengers to crowd into it.
AS soon as the accident occurred
a number of small boats from Cher
bourg put out to the scene and sue
oeeded in rescuing some Of the sailors
and passengers who were struggling
In the waves.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been fixed, but it is charged
that the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
did not respond to signals from the
English ship.

vELvETEEN HOUSE DRESSES.


A really coy house frock is an alb
solute necessity, and for that nothing
can be better that one of the exquisite
Liberty velveteens, which every year
seem to increase in beauty beyond
the bounds of all possibility.
In the beautiful deep flame, orange
and cardinal shades of the zinnia
flowers, blending one with the other,
the fabric is glorious, and so it is in
a soft, pale, bright brown, to say
nothing of bright shade of garnet
to go with the returned-to-favor old
fashioned garnet jewelry.
If, as we are told, we get back to
the colorings of twenty years past,

stare Fam Cotton Short.

The cotton crop raised on the state
farm in Baldwin county will be about
enc hundred bales short of last year,
when 500 bales were produced.
The acreage was about the same.
but adverse conditions cut down the
production, indicating the general
shortage in the state at large. as the
crops on the state farm are well cul-
tivated,
A portion Of the last years crop has
been sold at 10 cents. The commission
held out for that price, but for some
time it looked as though the chances
OF getting that figure we're slim. 1t is
believed that 10 cents or more viii be
realized on the balance Of the 1905
crop and this years output.
