Pensacola, February 12.-(spceial)-The Land of Flowers declines to have it's weather dished out by an alien, and since the ground hog cannot lay claim to be- ing a native, the extra winter he has given the country to the north Is only shadowed here by dirty. drizzly, damp days-no snow, sleet or ice.
 The Rev B. c. Glenn, pastor of the Palafox Street Methodist church, has been made presiding elder of the Pensa- cola district since the death of the Rev. W. S. Wade. The Rev W. Q. Vreeland, who was made associate pastor by the last conference, is thus made pastor of the church. This appointment, somewhat out of the ordinary. was made for the pur- pose of having MT. Vreeland in charge of the building of a new house of worship for thls church, to cost s40,Ooo or more MT. Vreeland's phenomenal achievement in the erection of the Gadsden Street church, pointed him out as the man of all others for this important work, and his hosts of friends are fearful that tho added duties of the full pastorate in addition to the great work connected with the new build ing, may be detrimental to his physical Wel1-hetng

Buys Water Front Property.

Mayor Bliss has made, in connection with other citizens, several purchases of water front realty recently, with view to the establishment of better bathing fa- cilities. And thereby hangs tale. A. V. Clubbs, a large owner Of real estate on East Hill, came out in a card, virtually charging the Mayor with moving street lamp from street on which his property abutted and placing 1t where It's rays would shine out over the placid bosom of the bay. But when MT. Bliss gets pen in his fist, he is at his best, and he proved iR short order, among other things, that there had never been light at that corner.
 The Chamber of Commerce has been considerably wrought up over the loss Of the fleet this year, but all it's efforts failed to secure more than a single vessel for Mard GTas. Those who sustained Admiral Evans in his condemnation of the great array of fakirs, skin games and the like, that beset the tackles on every side while on shore leave, now say that it is pure spite on his part, and that the real reason for his avoidance of this port is his desire to punish Pensacola because of the arrest and Imprisonment of his son while op sDree.

Pensacola After Trade.

movement is well under way to secure the large and rapidly increasing trade of the eastern section of Baldwin county, Ala, for Pensacola. A number of promi- nent men from that section spent some time in the city recently consulting with the business men, and presenting the mat ter to the county commissioners. They claim that about nine miles of hard road in each of the two counties, and a ferrage of three miles across Perdido bay will shorten the distance between that section and the city by nearly twenty miles and give the people a better market than can be obtained elsewhere. In addition to this, the commissioners of the two counties contemplate the erection of a steel brid @ across the Perdldo river. At recent meeting the commissioners of Escambia county accepted the bid of a Birmingham firm for a steel bridge subject to ratifica- tion by the Baldwin county board.

Rabbi Koch to Leave.

Rabbi Samuel Koch. who has been in charge of Temple Beth-El for several years past, has tenderedN his resignation and will soon go to Seattle, Wash, to have charge of a large temple in that city. The regret caused by this step is not by any means confined to his congre- gation Tor to the Jews of the city, for 70 man before the public has gained so firm a hold on a community as has Rabbi Koch since his coming to Pensacola. He was always at the front in every charita- ble move and was the honored president of the Pensacola Library association. His many friends will follow him with best wishes for success in his new field.
 The people of the city are iubilant over g recent decision of the. supreme court, sustaining the validity of the ordinance separating the white and colored passen- gers on the street cars. The appeal, 1t will be remembered, was made by negro preacher, Groom. who deliberately yio- lated the ordinance to make test case, Judge Laney, in the recorders court. ap- preciatIng the motive, gave the defendant a thirty-day sentence. An appeal was taken and the circuit court affirmed Judge Laney's decision and the case was further appealed, with the same result. It is possible that the case may be car ried to the court of last resort but the probability is that Marshal Schad will be asked to look after Croom's bill of fare for a few weeks

There are Partisan autocrats who say that

Riviera season has NJ led and signed it's
verdict and the echoes have been heard at

Who dit southwark expect their Palm Beach

II such plans do Turk In my Iady's brain,
she can find plenty OF smart models which,
having no features so radical a. the short
waist, are not at all likely to be out OF style
before next summer, even though when
summer ONE they may not be tho last
word OF fashion.
Sheer voiles, silk voiles, marquisettes and
all materials Of such character are excellent
investments for the Southern season, cool,
yet not too flmy for service, modish and
always valuable for secondary use after the
Southern season 10 over. These materials
have peer so much in use during the winter
that many OF the frocks intended for the
winter wardrobe will, II still fresh. be quite
practical for Southern use; and For this the
folk who 60 South without any pretenoe

the h~ydrangea, Waiter and aquamarine
CLASSES, the amethyst and lavender hues,
certain rose tints and the grays OF winter

colors are made up over white, like the

fashioned Of very fine material and made
by hand.
There is, however, nothing complicated
about them ant any clever woman can
mako one at home for comparatively little
money. To retain the chic of the model
the material must be extremely fine and
dainty, but a good imitation valenciennes
will do and not much of it is required.
The blouse is laid in fine plaits on the
shoulders and has a simple three-quarter
sleeve OF moderate size. Close fitting
collar and cuffs are finely tucked, inset
with several lines OF valenciennes insertion
and edged with valenciennes. Down either
side Of a very narrow central box plat in
the blouse front runs a fine plating OF the
material edged with valenciennes and
som etimes inset with n or two lines Of
valenciennes insertion, though this is not
always the case.
Little pretence about such a blouse, but
well cut and beautifully made it has more
smartness than the average embroidered
lingerie blouse, whose work is often machine
made and whose material Is often coarse.
With a tailored scat and skirt one Of these
plain but exquisitely fine blouses is alto
gether charming.
A good laundress Ii needed TO handle the
plating, but il the plaits are very carefully
basted down in two lines before the blouse
Is Numbered there will be little trouble.
Tiny pearl buttons are usually set down
the middle front and button through the
central plat, so the bother Of the blouse
buttoning in the back is avoided.
1t is said that women will revel in shirt
waist sets VI as are provided for men
this winter. The mem sets come in little
cases and include cuff buttons, stick pin and
fancy waistcoat buttons. They are made
in the semi-precious stones, amethyst,
moonstone, chrysoprase, &C., set plainly
In gold rims, and some men invest in several
OF the sets so that they may wear a color

From the National Geographic Mdsdrine.
Harrington Putnam OF New York sends
h following extract from q letter from
Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman, who has
been making some marvellous mountain
accents in the Himalayas:
W have just finished q journey TO the
Nun Kun range southwest Of Ladakh, with
six Italian porters and the guide, and / can
for a moment claim world record with men

and Camp America n 800 feetl All OF US
conquered two other virgin snow peaks OF
1s,74s feet and 2O,1es feet and four snow
columns from 1850 to 1880 feet.
MY idea was to have European porters
carry all camp kit after coolies gave out'
and this they did successfully from the
third camp on. There was chance for OBJ
serving the effects of rareied air; n We
found insomnia our greatest difficulty.

lowest minimum Temperature at Camp

glorious, and I hate to leave the Himalayas.

to be as popular as ever, for elaborate cos

imported for the Southern trade.
Irish lace holds its own for such frocks,
and cluny and various heavy flet lsces
seem to rank with the Irish. Some of
the coarse ilet mesh laces with darned

and chemisette Of this frock was Of the
lingerie class-filmy, fine batiste Of cream

central plat being bordered on each side
by fine lace edged plaitings Of batiste.
These lingerie chemisettes with ~plaitings
promise to be much worn with spring
