\ lrs F. L. Stevens, who came from

WEATHER PERMITS!
If weather conditions of a suitable
nature prevail, C. L. Wiggins, the At
lanta aviator, will repeat his perform
ance of yesterday when thousands saw
nim.soar over the heart of the city.
According to Mrs. Galbraith Rodgers,

here, early conditions were ideal for a
flight.
’ After his flight yesterday, Wiggins
told me," she said, “that he is anxious
to repeat it, and today seems as good
as he can ask for.”
The flight Sunday was one of the
most spectacular ever seen here. The
aviator rose easily from the Speedway
and immediately mounted to an alti
tude of 4,000 feet. He then headed
straight for the business district and
soon the roar of his engine could be
heard by hundreds of Sunday afternoon
strollers on Peachtree and Whitehall
streets.
For more than an Hour he circled
about, varying his height, and then re
turned to the Speedway, where he
made a perfect landing in a nearby
field.

WRECK KILLS IS
AND INJURES M
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11.—Nineteen
persons were killed and 54 injured in a
wreck of an excursion train on the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad
near Montz, La., 27 miles north of New
Orleans, early today. A freight train
telescoped the excursion train, which
was returning home with pleasure
seekers who had spent Sunday in New
Orleans.
Six of those injured in the wreck
died immediately after reaching the
Charity hospital here, bringing the total
of known dead up to that time to nine
teen. The other thirteen were killed
outright. Among tile dead are seven
white persons. Five babies and three
women were killed.
Eighteen women and 20 Children are
among the injured. About 20 of the
injured are expected to die. Seven of
those hurt are white.
The flagman of the excursion train
asserts that he went back the usual dis
tance to set torpedoes, and that he sig
nalled tiie oncoming fvieght with his red
lantern. The train flashed by, how
ever, without heeding the warning.
Three coaches of the train were
overturned and caught fire. They were
entirely consumed. The bodies of those
taken out were burned beyond recogni
tipn.
Search For More Bodies.
Rescue parties are searching the
wreckage. It is believed that a num
ber of bodies are still buried under the
shattered oars. The injured were
brought here on a special train. Sev
eral of them were so severely injured
that physicians who made the first ex
amination say they can not live.
The wrecked train was. running from
New Orleans to Woodville, Miss. It
took the siding at midnight to permit
a southbound train to pass. A north
bound freight train, running at full
speed, crashed into the excursion train
just as it had come to a stop. The
heavy freight plowed its way through
the rear car an.d sent three of the
coaches over in a splintered heap. The
wreckage caught tire from the engine.
The shock splintered the forward cars
and passengers in them were severely
hurt. Most of tiie deaths occurred in
the rear coaches. Most of those in the
rear cars were negroes. The ears were
wooden affairs and were broken to bits
by the shock. The train was crowded.

Confederate Cavalry', today are plan
ning to carry out the suggestion of the

annual memorial service of the camp to
their members who died during the
year. Twelve old soldiers were report
ed "at rest" when the camp roll was
called after the service had been opened
witli an appropriate musical program.
Dr. Wilmer took as his subject "The
Christian Soldier" and paid a glowing
tribute to botli General Wheeler and
the departed members. It was during
this discourse that lie suggested the
Wheeler monument.

DIPLOMATIC POST
\
LONDON, Nov. 11.—Announce
ment that James Bryce, ambassador to
the United States, has resigned and
that he was succeeded by Sir Cecil
Arthur Spring-Rice, British minister to
Sweden, caused surprise here today,
but general interest in the situation
was overshadowed by the Balkan cri
sis.
It is not expected that Mr. Bryce will
return here immediately, but it is be
lieved that his departure from Wash
ington will not be long delayed.
Intimations that Ambassador Bryce
resigned as a result of criticism of his
efforts in the Panama canal dispute
are not generally credited. Mr. Bryce,
who is very old, wishes to complete his
literary work before it is too late.
Sir Cecil is regarded as one of the
ablest men in tiie diplomatic service.
ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
The Most Exquisite of All Imported Silks
For Reception and Dinner Gowns and
Evening Dresses.
The display of silks that this announcement invites
you to see is perhaps the most notable ever made in
Atlanta. It brings those exquisite webs and tissues,
heavy-laden with gold and silver embroidery, rich and
effulgent with wonderful colorings—that the great Par
isian dressmakers have used to express their style-ideas
this season.
We mean this literally, not only of one or two
patterns but of a dozen or more.
We have them by grace of our connection with
one of the greatest of the exporters of Paris.
There is no describing them-—there is no proper
appreciation of them to be put down in cold type—
they are woven and patterned and colored for the eyes,
they are to be exclaimed over.
We can but tell you of their glory as it is reflected
by the Parisian makers of fashions. What greater
mark of distinction could they have than that such
notables as Paquin, Worth, Agnes, Doucet, Bourniche
should use them to express their style-ideas?
-A chiffon lisse of palest blue has a wide border of silver
medallions with gold centers. Worth saw its beauty
and made it into a model.
A voile Lorraine that is almost all pattern, an old
tapestry design in amber and old blue with silver em
broidery that Agnes appreciated and used.
-A voile Lorraine of plum shade with deep Bulgarian
border showing shades green, red and a wonderful gold
feather design, so effective that Paquin used it.
Another voile Lorraine used by Bourniche—one of the
most exquisite in the display, showing the truly marvel
ous work of the French dyers. It is white with a Bul
garian border made up of faintly outlined geometries
in red, blue,green and overworked with gold and silver.
Calvayrac used this chiffon lisse of pale lavender with
its wide border, a vine pattern done in silver and gold.
that enclose a grape border of silver.
Make tomorrow a day to see these gorgeous silks,
they are the world’s finest—they have the prestige of
the approval of the Paris fashion authorities, that in
itself should lend color to this occasion.
At the same time you may see
The Tunics of Fashion
A display that truly represents the fashions of the mo
ment; tor Palis has declared them as a mark of elegance and
of—completeness. There is one after another that you will
want for your own—each with its own charm that seems all
but irresistible.
One of notable elegance is of black net bordered with cof
fee-colored lace and set off with amber iridescents; another is
of black net with soft old blue beads worked into an elabo
rate pattern; another shows Oriental beads; another, a rose
pattern filled in with chenille embroidery and silver. Then
there are those of cream with gold, of pink and light blue and
amber with pearls and crystals and glistening rhinestones.
