FASHIONABLE MOURNING.

T7se Most Recent Dactum OF La Mode
on This subject.
II things continue to progress as
they now appear to be progressing the
time is not far distant when our very
tears will be measured and limited for
us when we are mourning some dear
one. | was brought to realization OF
this as read the recent dictum of the
powers that be, who prescribe for
us what we must wear, how long and
what distractions are allowed.
With ponderous authority the oracle
says:
"a great change has come to us by
slow degrees as regards widows
mourning and the restrictions former
" ia force, and very reasonably SO.
Widows are at liberty to spend much
time out of doors, walking, driving
and, in short, anything which may tend
to assuage grief. a widow is at lib
erty to yelled, of course-the
next day after the funeral, and no dis
respect whatever would be shown by
ayailing oneself of these modern rules
She may wear hat trimmed with
crane and d short walking skirt for
country walks. She may begin to see
her friends, rather informally, after
six weeks and return visits after an
other week.
's,The longest period of mourning is
two years, during which entirely BLACK
is to be worn one year and nine months
and half mourning three months. Dur
ing the first six months for church and
formal occasions heavy Grape bands
are de rigueur Often the entire skirt
save for a short distance at the top
is left untrimmed. Courtauld Grape is
very expensive, but nothing can equal
it for dignity and beauty, and if one
can possibly afford it, it gives one at
least one CLEAN of comfort in the
knowledge of being well dressed and
that no one can dress better, as the
law Of Grape is as fixed as were those
of the Modes and Persians. Eudora
cloth is the one sumptuous material for
first mourning and is especially af-
fected by young widows, while older
women like dull cloth, heavy cash
mere and silk warp henrietta, although
this last, being half silk, is not quite
so dull as the all wool goods. Melrose
is also a good material for mourning
garments
Young widows may wear mourning
of the deepest kind for one year and
three months, when half mourning can
be adopted if desired The widows
cap is worn for a year and day, but
the cap is now dispensed with if not
desired, or it may be worn in such a

FARM LABOR QUESTION.

National and State Oranges should
Help Farmers Get Laborers.
One of the most puzzling PROPOSE
lions that confront farmers today, says
Hon. George B. Horton, master of the
Michigan state grange, is that of OBJ
tanning help to carry on the different
branches of agricultural operations and
housekeeping. Our country, with all
its industries and resources, is wit
Messing wonderful development, and
this provides attractive opportunities
for farm bred boys and girls and also
for all those who labor for hire These
conditions have drained the country
to distressing condition. It is not
question Of wages, but one of where
the help can be found. The records
show that over 100000 immigrants
have come to our shores during the
year. This record is unprecedented,
yet practically all of this immense
army of people have gone to other
sources of action than the farms. In
curry reveals the fact that many of
these people are gathered in on ar
riVal by agents of large contracting
interests and sent direct to different
parts of the country, while the remain
der from lack of direction very nat
usally settle down in the large cities
to aggravate an already congested pop
alation
Under these conditions it becomes
necessary to look about us for relief
The soil must be titled to furnish food
as sustenance, and, inasmuch as agri-
culture is the basic industry of our
state, it seems highly proper that state
aid should be sought 1t seems that
the time has come when the work OF
The state labor commissioner should be
enlarged, with suitable appropriation
provided so that an agency can be es-
.abiished at Castle Garden for the pur-
pose of directing unobjectionable i'm

Cooperation between such agency and
the farmers organizations of the state
would complete the system. The lar

recommended that our state grange ex-

MILLION FOR POOR WEAVER.
Estate Left to Robert Hughes by Uncle

ne NEVER Jaw.
New York. Feb. 6.-The happiest
silk weaver that ever wove silk is
Robert Hughes, of Garfield, N. j., who
received word that he had fallen heir
to $1,O00,OOO.
Hughes Is as years old and has new
er known anything but the hardest
kind of toll He came to America
from Ireland when he was a boy and
as he grew up he learned the silk
weaver's trade. Day after day he
toied. with few pleasures and no
prospects, so far as he could see. of
ever lettering his condition. Like all
men OF his trade he was peculiarly
the slave of his business, for when
work fell slack he dared not take em-
ployment at rough-and -ready jobs, for
hard work never fails to make ones
fingers stiff and rough and it is abso-
lutelN necessary for silk weavers to
keep their fingers soft.
BY virtue of Intelligence and indus
try Hughes was promoted to be n
foreman. His pay was SIS a week He
managed to keep his head above water
and bought little house. Day after
day he went to the mill and there toll
ed all day long, spinning tineries for
the adornment of the rich. Seeming
ly this was to be his fate until the
end of the last chapter.
Gets Letter From Solicitors.
But he received a Formidable look
ing letter written in clerky hand on
legal paper. The writer's. a firm of
solicitors of Belfast. Ireland, begged
to inform Robert Hughes Esquire, of
the town of Garfield, state of New
jersey" that he was one of the three
heirs of John Hughes, Esquire, mer-
chant of Belfast, recently deceased,
leaving a fortune of 100000, equiva-
lent to s3,00O000
MIR. Hughes directed in his will that
his estate be divided equally among
the children of his deceased brothers,
two of whom are living in Ireland,
the third being Robert Hughes of Gar
field.
The silk weaver was dazed. His
wife, modest little woman. was daz-
ed too. They had both heard of bunko
letter writer's and they feared there
might be some trick. So Robert took
the letter to City Attorney A. d. Sui
Ivan, of Passaic, who said that the
letter seemed genuine and he would
take care of Roberts interests

Hanna, of Luverne, la.
Washington, d. c. Feb. Elm the
consular bill, fathered by Senator
Lodge, which has passed the senate.
Phil C. Hanna, of Luverne, Ia, is
scheduled as a consul, although at the
present time he is classed as consul
general.
Senator Dolliver questioned Senator
Lodge on this point, pointing out that
under the, existing scheme Mr.. Hanna
is consul general, but Senator Lodge
held to the contrary. At the state de-
partment it is stated that Mr.. Hanna
is consul general. His salary was
formerly $4,000 with some fees. Two
years or so ago this salary was i'm
creased to $4,000. Under the proposed
reorganization of Senator Lodges bill,
Mr.. Hanna is listed as a consul at a
salary of $500 with no fees.
Just prior to the passage Of the bill
in the senate, Senator Dolliver again
called Lodges attention to this matter
and the latter said he had personally
looked up the matter and that the post
at Monterey, Mexico, where Mr.. Hanna
is stationed, is consulship. He said,
however. that if any change should be
necessary that it could be fixed in the
house or in conference.
Senator Lodge asserts that the state
department reported that Monterey is
consulate. To one correspondent OF
the chief of the consular bureau stated
that it was consulate general

Truck Farm Profits on East Coast.

There seems to be Il mistaken idea
among NOrtherners regarding the pos
sibilities of the Florida soil, even
among those who have spent many
winters South. Only recently one
such was heard to remark: FLORIDA
has nothing but its climate. 1t is no
place for those who do not come strict
ly for pleasure" That this is a mis-
taken idea is easy to prove from ac-
curate statistics. The trouble with
most casually formed opinions is that
there is an understratum of truth that
they do not include. careful study
of the wonderful possibilities of Flo
rida. to farmers and fruit growers,
will cause brilliant prophecy for the
future prOductiveness of the land
The vast changes that have taken
place since Mr.. Flagler opened up the
Eastern Coast, are sufficient evidence
of what time has i'm store for the farm
er. Prior to this time, a few had
tried unsuccessful experiments with
tomatoes shipped by water to the near
est Northern cities; but wind and
waves are uncertain quantities to
which to trust perishable market farm
products, and the eXperimenters were
naturally discouraged. That period,
however, belongs to Florida's dark
ages" before Mr.. Flagler had shed
his Illuminating light upon it. Now
the products can be. and are. shipped
even to New England cities.

We again devote considerable space
to this subject We feel that it is one
of great Importance, not only TO the
farmers but to every owner of real
estate in Florida.
We wish that we could get the edit
Ors of our state exchanges interested
in the matter. 1t concerns every one
who has any property to transfer. The
more that they investigate it the more
desirable it will seem. The arguments
advanced, in the articles which We
quote this week, are entirely un-
answerable. In fact, as we have said
before, the only ones who will oppose
the change will be those who make
money out of our present cumberOus
and expensive methods. Study up on
the new plan and see if it Is not an
improvement and one that deserves
your hearty support.
