FLOWERS TO BLOOM
 ON SPRING MILLINERY.

There seems to be leaning toward small and medium sized flowers, which are arranged for the most part in bouquets that are more or less se- were in effect Roses of all kinds will as usual be good. Some favor the moss and old-fashioned June rose and buds. Velvet foliage is being offered with the other varieties and it is not unusual to see two. or more kinds combined. Nor is it unusual to see large and small flowers togeth- CT, the small flowers, arranged in clusters being nestled among the larg- CT ones, as for instance, Glacs or wisteria. There is every reason to believe that it will be an excellent flower season. Last Spring and Sum- mer could hardly be so described, but for that reason it may be argued that this will be a banner year for flowers.
 For the new flat hats there are feather bandeaux and wreaths that are very handsome when shaded. French blue, gray and white was the harmonious color scheme of a willow which encircled the crown and had a feather standing upright at one end It IS to be noted that in practically all cases where there is high effect in trimming it is arranged at !he back. Hats that are broad and ae- cidedly Tat elsewhere have often some slightly raised arrang ement uf the trimming, if not directly in the back, at least toward it at enc side or the other.-The Millinery Trade Review

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

The sediment from javelle water is excellent for securing.
 French chalk will remove practi- cally all grease spots from dress ma- terial.
 Never use soap on window panes. Use either alcohol or ammonia to make them shine.
 Coal soot is easily removed from tin articles or porcelain if they are first coated with kerosene.
 Cream cheese, mixed with canned currahts or jellied cranberries, makes a good sandwich filling.
 The flavor of a cup of cocoa is of ten made more delicate if the least bit of vanilla is placed in it.
 To keep insects away, wipe the floors of closets after they are scrub bed with gasoline or benzine.
 To remove inkstains from the hands rub the juice of ripe tomatoes over them and rinse in warm water.
 An eggshell or two or, better still, an oyster shell, should be kept in ev- cry teakettle. Then no rust will ap- pear.
 If you cannot get into the deep re- cesses of refrigerator with a scrub brush, try using a small. stiff paint

NEW TURBANS IN t8
 SPRING MILLINERY

The dissatisfaction that the trade has felt and expressed ove~ the sean tily trimmed hats that are now in vogue, would argue for more elab- crate style of decoration. The tur- ban seems to be more elaborately trimmed in proportion than the large hat. In the case of the letter, the trimming is more often applied to the under brin, than on the crown. For this purpose there are all sorts of rather tight effects, such as bows, buckles, and rosette effects in fancy feathers and small flowers.
 Of course. hats that allow of a gen. erous display of the under brim are faced or partially faced, or else have folds or other flat motive. Soutache braid is we'll liked for this purpose, and is used in variety of ways for trimming the Spring hats, not only for adults but children as we'll. The braid is usually sewn on a silk foun- dation, and in straight rows, or it may be applied to the straw direct.
 From present indications there will be plenty of work for the milliners this season, for the handsomest hats show very fine workmanship.-The Millinery Trade Review.

RIBBONS AND LACE
 IN STRING MILLINERY.

Therei is all effort being put forth to I@ rize ribbon. While other tril are applied flat to the hat, ribbu Ire often arranged to add materially to it's height. soft two tone ribbon having a finely ribbed surface is Very good at present It is of course necessary to wire. the up- standing loops. This same ribbon is often used to make some ribbon flow ers-which by the way are much used, as are fiat buttons covered with folded ribbon, or ribbon having picot edge.
 There are several novelty rosettes of ribbon and piece goods that are being used, frequently centered with a straw or floral ornament. Large bows of satin not necessarily ribbon. are sometimes yelled with chiffon or with fine all-over lace. This idea was introduced this season.
 Among the dressier hats many of lace over straw have been noted. A flower hat clouded with lace is effec- tive. Nadine may be used for this purpose. Black lace seems to lead for millinery, excepting, of course,f for the lace, under caps and ruffles which, it is believed will attain the favor next Summer that was expect ed for them this Winter.-The Millin- cry Trade Review.

Grand Master Malone Here.

The Odd Fellows of Palatka had the
honor and pleasure of entertaining, and
being entertained by, Hon. w. H. Ma
lone of Key West, the grand master OF
the order in Florida, last Monday night.
And Palatka Odd Fellows seem to
have gotten much the better in this in
terchange of courteSies. Certainly If
the spirit of fraternity as exemplified in
the teachings of this great order do not
gather force from now on, it will not
be for want of any spirit of enthusiasm
in the grand master.
MIR. Malone has been on tour of the
state, visiting the various lodges of the
order and Palatka was the last place on
the list OF official visits. Notice of his
coming had been served on the mem
berS, and most of them were present,
with some others not of the order, at the
hall to hear the grand masters address.
He was introduced by Hon. l.. c.
Stephens.
Mr.. Malone is pleasing and effective
speaker. He told of the origin and his
tory of the order, its growth and stand
ing among fraternal organizations, and
forcefully and at length dwell upon the
links in the orders motto of Friend
ship, Love and Truth. Members of the
order were made to feel anew the real
significance and responsibility of their
vows, and those not of the order got
some lessons in fraternalism that will
do them good. When the grand master
sat down he was roundly applauded.
He had delivered real message. He
could see that ii had hit the spot intend
ed-the hearts OF memberS-and that as
result there would be increased enthusi-
aSm for the work of the order in Pa
latka.
AT the conclusion of the meeting all
adjourned to the KupperbuSch Hotel
where a most excellent oyster supper
was served, followed by smoker.
Grand Master Malone is at the head of
Odd Fellowship in Florida, and the
News is of the opinion that the time is
not far distant when he will be at the
head of the State-itS governor. Why ?
Well, he has started right. He is a
Sclf-made man. He worked his own
way through college. He is lawyer,
and good, clean one. In 1907 and 1909
the people of Munroe county sent him
to the House OF Representatives where
he was an important factor in influenc-
ing good legislation and defeating that
which was doubtful or bad Last year
he was elected State Senator TO represent
Lee and Monroe counties. He is now
Senator Malone. He is young-but 35.
He has head full of brains and in addi-
tion has heart and conscience. He is a
growing man politically.

DOUBLE MURDER
AT ESPhN0LA
Deputy Sheriff Guy White and
Abe Snyder the Victims.
Alleged Slayers Are Now in Jail.

Alleged Slayers Are Now in Jail.
Deputy Sheriff Guy White of ST. Johns
county and Abe Snyder of St, Augustine
were shot and instantly killed at Espano-
la last Sunday night while in the per
formance of duty in preserving the peace.
The men charged with this double
murder are BaScom, Dan and Marion
Carlton, brothers, and Mack Burnie.
The Carlton brothers are from Bradford
county.
They spent Saturday night at Hastings
where they "tanked up' on booze and
proceeded to get ugly. They were ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Green of that
place and spent the night in Jail. They
were bailed out by some friend in the
morning and It's said they remained
about town nearly all day for the pur
pose of avenging themselve on Officer
Green. But they did not see him, and
so took the evening train for ESpanola.
They were still drunk and proceeded to
raise rough house on the train, break
ing windows and smashing things gen
orally
When they. reached ESpanola Deputy
Sheriff Guy White learned of their ac-
tionS on the train, placed the four men
under arrest and took them to Jail. He
asked Mr.. Norman and Abe Snyder to
assist him. When inside the Jail White
started to search his prisoners and had
taken revolver from one, when BaScom
Carlton drew his pistol quick as light
ming and fired at White, the bullet pen
etrating his heart and causing instant
death. The man then swung round and
shot Snyder, who staggered and fell TO
the floor dead. Mr. Norman closed with
the men, but was overpowered and the
men made their escape TO the woods
Three of the men were captured by a
posse headed by Sheriff Perry the next
day. But Bascom Carlton was not
found until Wednesday morning at Din
ner Island, where he gave himself up.
All four are now in Jail.
Another report of the capture Of BaS-
com Carlton is, that while at the home
of his mother, Capt. Duncan Bohannon,
formerly of Putnam county, came upon
and covered him with his gun and that
the murderer then surrendered without
| further resistance.
Deputy Sheriff Guy White has served
as deputy in St. Johns county for doz
en- years and was brave and efficient
officer, and popular in all parts of the
county He was we'll known and highly
esteemed in Palatka and other parts oI
Putnam county, and his tragic death il
the performance of duty has been the
cause of widespread sorrow. He leaves
wife and three children.
Mr.. Snyder has resided in st. Angus
tine many years and for time was the
partner of c. ]. McGrady in the saloor
business.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

Owing to an unusually large influx of
coloniStS and consequent increased dut-
les of the lnterlachen correspondent, no
items appeared last week. One event
worthy of mention, was the social in
the town hall, given by the Ladies Aid
of the Congregational church. One
very clever number on the program was
humorous recitalS by various towns
people, of the many trials peculiar 10
their respective occupations. To B. b.
Savage was awarded the palm, his graph
ic relation of the many woes undergone
by himself in the role of housekeeper
moving the assembly TO tears-of laugh
ter. After the conclusion of the music
al and literary program, refreshments
were served in the lower hall.
On Friday evening the Magnolia Club
enjoyed the second of series of dances
in the hall.
A Jolly picnic at Mannville, at the
Mann homestead, attracted large num-
ber of our townSpeople, old and young,
on Saturday.
For whole week J. II. Wylie has
moved among his fcllowmen with beati-
fiC smile which admits of but one inter
pretation-the arrival of a son and heir,
J. II. Wylie, jr.
A pathetic occurrence was the passing
away last Saturday night of Engen Poul-
sen, at the Millard home on Mariners
Lake Mr.. PoulSen came, accompanied
by Mrs. PouSen, from New York, in
quest of health, having suffered from an
acute attack of grippe, and arrived in In
terlachen at noon Saturday That even
ing he ate supper as usual, retired early,
went TO slcep-a sleep from which he
never awakened to consciousness Late
in the night Mrs. Poulsen, unable TO
arouse him became alarmed, and a ply
sician was summoned, but all efforts TO
arouse the sleeper were fruitleSs, and he
passed from time TO eternity before an
other day. Mrs PoulSen awaits the com
ing of her son to accompany her on her
sad homeward journey.
The coming musical at "Cubano," 10
be given next week, promises TO be one
of the brightest and best affairs of the
season, and the proceeds are TO help
swell the fund for procuring a fine piano
for the town hall; it is hoped that the
enternment will be generously patroniz-
