MISS MILLs's SHOE,
The Raymond Shoe Co Is Exhibiting
 It To-day.

A very interesting collection of old and curious shoes is that on exhibl. ton in the Raymond shoe store on East aMin street. Among some oi the curios Is the shoe formerly worn by Miss Fanny Mills. who at one time travelled with Barnum & Bailey Miss Mills was originally from Ohio and although in every other way she was the same as an ordinary woman she had tremendous feet It took size "23" to fit her, but instead of skiddooing the people, being such a freak, she attracted large crowds. Her father offered $10,000 and d farm to the man that married her, and his offer was quickly accepted, her husband taking her around the country and making barrel of money because of the size of her feet. For short time she lived in this city on Cooke street.
 Another shoe is the dwarf shoe, made for a miner who had feet not much larger than babys. There are some shoes in the display win dow which were brought from Jeru- salem, being of very fine quality. Then there are the shoes worn by the poorer classes in Asia These are studded with hobnails.
 A shoe know as the freak shoe, and which has had several shoemak- CTS of this city guessing, is that which was made by an Irishman in Dublin, who was known as The God of Leather" The shoe is perfect in every particular, but there is no way to get it on ones foot. What has been worrying the cobblers is how did the man get the last out of the shoe, as 1t is fact that no shoe can be made without last. The shoe was fashioned from last which was made from hemp cord, the maker un- winding the last when the shoe was finished and pulling the cord out by two holes which are hardly discerni- ble in the sole of the shoe. The shoe display attracted many eyes as well as the modern assortment of hobby footwear which the firm is showing.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN CASE.
Judge Peasley Opposed Attorney
 kennedy's Proposed Motion.

The fight between Orson Light
 and his wife Kate for the custody of
 their two children has taken a sen
 sation turn, which Attorney Ken
 nedy, counsel for Mrs Light, an-
 nounced to Judge Reed in the su- perior court this forenoon. The case 1 was closed last week with. the ey- ception of identifying certain papers. After court opened to-day Judge Peasley, counsel for Light, stated
 that he wished to oppose motioc Attorney Kennedy was going to
 make to hear additional testimony. Attorney Kennedy stated that he had
 summoned Light to court to testify
 regarding a letter he, Mir Kennedy, had received from the superintel-
 dent of the New England home. al institution located in Boston. He re- minded the court that Light test,- fled he had sent away the children to this home so that his wife, their mother. could not see them until after the case is disposed of. Mir Kennedy wishes to show by this let ter that this testimony was wrong, that Light freely surrendered the children to this institution by legal process and that his sister was wit ness to the proceeding. The children were therefore out of his custody, and independent of what he might think or desire they could be placed in a home anywhere east of the Mis- sissippi river and kept there until they are 21, and neither parent was to know their location. Attorney Kennedy then produced the letter. Judge Reed said he was inclined to hear testimony on that point and then Judge Peasley safd If that WIS so he would like time to prepare to meet 1t. The matter was left at that point until 3:30 this afternoon.

FREIGHT
BUSINESS
NOW
Louisville & Nashville Hand
ling Immense Amount
of Freight.

The freight business over the local
divisions of the Louisville & Nash
vile which reach Pensacola, is ex-
ceptionally heavy just at present, and
the trainmen are being worked hard
to handle the increased traffic
The outbound freight has increased
this year much more heavily than the
incoming. although the latter is being
handled in much larger quantities
than during December of last year.
The addition of two extra freight
trains over the p & A, one going on
the F1orala branch at Crestview and
the other through to River Junction
has enabled the company to handle
the business satisfactorily and for
the business north many trains. in
addition to the regular ones, are run.
The freight business has been
steadily on the increase for some
weeks. occasioned by the shipment
of holiday goods to local merchants,
but though much Of this business has
been done, still the traffic is showing
no decline. but on the contrary an
increase. Wholesale merchants are
now doing an immense business with
towns in this section.

cure dandruff permanently, then, and
