JUDGE WOLFE
EXPLAINS LAW
EE TELLS JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE THAT THEY CANNOT I'M,
POSE FINES AS SOME OF THEM
HAVE BEEN DOING.

Caryville, June 5.-Circuit court for
Washington county commenced in
Vernon last Monday morning with
Judge Wolfe presiding. The grand
jury was empaneled with Gen. r. l..
Scarlet of Orange Hill as foreman,
and r c. Horne, of Chipley, clerk.
The Charge given by Judge Wolfe was
very able and interesting. The judge
emphasized that portion of his charge
relative to justices of the peace,
wherein no justice of the peace in
ne future can try a case under the
criminal laws of Florida and impose
a fine, but must bind misdemeanors
to the county court and feIOnies to
Tie circuit court, which practically
ceGters all trials in the courts Of JUS
tiCe Of the peace to the county seat,
The grand jury had several import
ant cases before them, among which
was the case Of VIII Afford, Pope
FidT;dgC and Joseph Cooper for
breaking and entering the depot Of
the L. & \. railroad at CaryvilIe on
April Sth last The parties were ar
IalsHeG and their cases continued IN
til the next term of the circuit court
at Vernon The trial Of John Gilbert
FOR murder, was called yesterday, the
jerry having been selected. The case
is still going on and will doubtless
continue until tomorrow Saturday.
/ he court has been very busy all this
week and several minor cases were
disposed of.

Mr.. Burr and
The Newspapers.

Some of the silliest stun that has
ever appeared in the state press is
finding a place in some o. the news
papers now, and the following from
the Miami Record is a fair sample OF
It:
State papers will probably have
something to say next year TO Mr..
Railroad Commissioner Burr, should
he again be a candidate for the posi-
ton he now holds. There was bill
before the legislature permitting
neWspapers to exchange advertising
SPACE for railroad transportation.
Barr IL IS said, appeared before the
lGgislature and argued against the
massage of the bill, and it is probable
that his influence defeated 1t. TIE
newspapers of the state are amply
able to take care of themselves and
Rurr's attempt to regulate their bust
cless viii be properly resented when
the time comes. There Will be no more
pot metal campaigns for Mr.. Burr.
So. because Mr.. Burr does not be-
Neve in the railroad pass system, and
so told the legislative committee
when the matter was up for discus
sion, the pass-users are TO down him
In the primaries, are they?
This will be interesting information
10 the great mass of voters, ninety
uer cent of whom have never had the
exquisite pleasure of handling a rail-
road pass and who never could see
any reason why the other ten per cent
should be favored with that privilege.
We think it highly probable (nit)
that this ninety per cent will soak
Mr.. Burr because he insists that the
railroads shall hereafter require all
passengers to pay their fares in the
same way.
The truth of the matter is that an
snti-pass bill was before the legis-
lature. It was all right-a good thing
-eor the rest of the public, but few
newspapers thought they were entitled
to a special privilege, and they want
ed to be specially exempted from the
nFOYisions of the bill. Mr.. Burr no

Mr.. Forbes, il will be remembered,

with Augustus Post, as aid, in the in

year and whose balloon exploded at
ter the start, but, forming a parachute,
precipitated the aeTonauts safely to

Mr.. Forbes has had a new balloon

Vegetale Embroidery.

7v VERY pretty kind of fancy work
IA is the vegetable embroidery that is
Snow one of the most fashionable
styles of trimming for dresses. 1t is easy
to do and goes very quickly A girl with
only little time to spend ON embroidery
can very soon make a lovely trimming
for her next new gown, be it one to wear
TO dance or q cloth one for the street.
For a little of the veg6tale embroidery
can be used on almost any kind of gown.
1t is made either in straight strips like
an insertion or in the brassiere shape.
A young girls evening gown in some soft
white material, with brassiere of vGge-
tale embroidery in white and gold, is so
charming that it will pay any girl to do
the embroidery But if she doesn't want
to do quite so much work one little strip
of it will add tremendously to the beauty
of the dress.
The work is done on net with very
heavy silk When the gold effect is
wanted either the gold tinsel thread may
be used or gold colored silk. The latter
gives about as good an effect and is
softer. The patterns used are either
flowers or geomctrical
figures, and they may be either stamped
on the net or on a heavy muslin or card
board, over which the net is closely
basted. 1t is rather easier to do it with
the net basted on some stiff material, for
that keeps it from pulling up with the
embroidery stitches, but it must be firmly
fastened before the embroidery is begun.
Even if OIN prefers to have the pattern
stamped on the net it is better not to try
to do the embroidery with the stiff
backing.

The Revived Jersey Waist.

IT HERE are indications of the revival
of the Jersey waist. which came into
vogue thirty years ago, shortly after
the Jersey Lily OIrs. Langtry). then in
the zenith of her beauty, migrated from
her native Isle of Jersey to London.
On account of the ease with which a
Jersey waist was adjusted and the per-
feet freedom of movement which it af-
forded its wearer schoolgirls of the Lang
try generation clung to it as utility gar
ment for several years after their elders
had given it up. For the same reasons
the young girls of the present generation
will probably be first to welcome the Jer-
sey waist in its revived form. One of the
new models closely resembles the hip
length sweaters which have roll finished
edges, another is allover braid embroid-
cred and a third has sash of silk or
satin ribbon. They are in silk and CASH
mere stockinette of black and all the fash
ionable autumn shades, and intended to
take the place of silk or worsted tailored
shirt waists

strengthened by velvet piped edging and
is so shaped that no matter how faulty

7V HABIT of punctuality ill do mole
"A to win popularity and will bring in
it's path more fun and pleasure than
any other one characteristic. Once
girl is known to be unpunctual she
will be left out of many spree arranged
on the spur of the moment and requiring
an instantaneous start. "Oh, no, there
is no use in asking Anna, she would al
ways keep us waiting and make us miss
seeing SO much"-how often one hears
that in connection with a contemplated
trip. The sad part of 1t, too, is that II
only poor Anna heard it she would un-
promise to be very good and Df
ready well on time for everything If only
she might be allowed to go. But her
habits are well known and all feel they
cannot risk spelling the pleasure OF an
entire party just for her, so some one
else is asked instead, some one VINO, per

of the most selfish beings in existence

always being on time.
And continued unpunctuality does re-
solve itself into just that selhshness. Inc
girl who is willing to keep whole lunch-
con party waiting hungrily and her, hostess
neryously while she calmly prlnks at
home, or does not stop what she has been
doing in time to dress herself and get 10
her entertainment, is certainly thinking OF
herself before any one else. 49, -

makers. Because she is just n little be
hind time the next appointment must De
nut back somewhat, and perhaps the
next person to be fitted is business
woman to whom time means actual
money, or who has an important meetlhs
herself Immediately. She in turn must
keep others waiting; those others AGAIN
have their day disarranged, and SO on
indefinitely until the proverbinl pebble
thrown into pond sending out its rlppleS
TO the shore is but a small thing in COM
parison.
Then there are the sick people to whom
five or ten minutes waiting means an
interminable time and perhaps will bring
on a serious attack of nervousness. lt Is
far, far better not to set any exact time
for a call with an invalid than to state
positively an hour that it is Impossible
to keep.
That the ever increasing unpunctuality
among American girls and women is TO
be attributed to the too busy, too full life
which they lead Is true, but for this
very reason a girl cannot commence too
Young to make up her mind firmly that
She at least shall be known as reliable
and able to carry out all that she may
promise TO do at given time. 1t will
probably mean giving up some few pleas
ures that others may not be inconyen-
fenced. but more than anything else ii
means starting in time to get ready.
Whether it be for school or to meet u
pirl friend and take walk, or for n din
ner party, some one is sure to be ineon-
venienced if one is only a few moments
tardy, while a difference of five or ten
minutes at the other end in commencing
to get ready Is all that is necessary to
avert this. Five minutes extra sleep in
the morning is Of no benefit certainly,
yet one person late and hurried at the
breakfast table can upset the day for an
entire household, family and servants
