Widow of Admiral
Draper to Give Rare
Pearls to Daughter
Collection Of Former Ambassador to
Italy Rivals Royaltys-Ropes
Several Feet LONG.

Mrs. William F. Draper widow of
General Draper, former Ambassador
to Italy, 1t is said, plans to present
her daughter, Miss Margaret Draper,
with her priceless collection of pearls
this coming season.
If this is so. II viii mean that Miss
Draper will have in her possession
one Of the most valuable collections
of jewels outside royalty. In Rome
these Jewels were considered far
handsomer than any at court, not ex-
cepting those Of Queen Margherita
Among them is a pair of eardrops
that are each fully as large as a silver
quarter, that screw into the lobe of
the ear with a small pure white dia-
mond. The ropes Of pearls are sew
eral feet in length, so that when worn
on the corsage they almost entirely
cover the front of the gown worn.
Mrs. Draper has always shown ex-
quisite taste in her display of these
gems, as she wears them on a dark
velvet creation which shows them off
to wonderful advantage. Miss ORA
per and her mother have been en-
tertaining extensively at the North
Shore, where they rented a house on
Smiths Point.

REFRIGERATION
RATES LIKELY
Florida Fruit Growers AIIege Dis
elimination in Favor of Cali
fornia Shippers.

TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 1.-THE
Florida Railroad Commissioners have
received complaints from orange
growers and shippers alleging unreal
sonable rates for refrigeration. They
claim discrimination in favor of Cali
fornia
Until the last year there have been
but very few oranges shipped to the
Northern and Eastern markets from
Florida under refrigeration, but the
last shipping season was unusually
warm, and it was found by the ship
pers that refrigeration was necessary.
The Railroad Commissioners have
taken up the matter with the refrig-
orator lines with the view of obtain
ing a reduction, and the following let
ter from the Atlanta representative
Of the Fruit Growers Express to
Commissioner Dunn will be of inter-
est to the citrus fruit growers:
In further reference to your let
ter in regard to refrigeration charges
on oranges from Florida points, beg
to advise that conference was held in
New York between the railroads in
terested and representatives of the
car lines, to consider this subject, and
as a result we feel sure the railroads
will have something favorable to re-
port in this connection"

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE Unit

Free Trade Achievement

The Daily Telegraph says: What
the passing OF the new law does is to
prove the emptiness of the argument
that the tariff policy of "A country
which sets QUITO regulate imports In
the public interest is sure TO get into
the hanas of private interests and
stay there. 1t only did SO in the
United States owing TO peculiarly un-
healthy political conditions which OBJ
tanned there many years and which
lately have shown tendency TO
mend
1T has ceased to do so now as a
result of determined national effort
of win. The change will incidentally
be very welcome In many depart
ments of British trading enterprises.
Canada in particular probably will
benefit largely by the change, gain
ing without concession much of what
was offered her by the reciprocity
scheme"

There can scarcely he any turning

will go along in America by leaps
