handmade, with sleeves of the same.
This particular shirt is slightly "bouf-
FAINT" the necessary fullness being dis
tributed by box plat. Great atten-
ton is given to the soft stock and trum-
pet shaped cuffs, which are indescrib-
ably chic.
White linen lawn embroidered lavish
ly in silk bowknots is the midway offer
ing between the very simple and very
elaborate shirt waist output These
have box plated backs minus yokes
and plain fronts with suggestion of
fullness in the nature of shallow plaits
extending few inches below the Shout
der line. Doing away with yokes calls
forth my unstinted praise. There was
never any real necessity for their be-
ing. and not only was the identity Of a
good back lost, but the line Of the
shoulder was completely obliterated.
In the same category with the en-
broidered lawn may be mentioned the
dressy batiste blouse or shirt. It comes
in delicate colorings and is made more
dainty by the addition of a white null
vest or yoke with tucks held together
by beading or fine lace insertion.
The new skirts are the talk of the
hour. From being seamless they are
now provided with plaits or gathers.
Plated and gathered skirts are met at
almost every step. These are not uni
formly set in around the waist; they
are arranged in groups, separated by
a plain space Bodices are trimmed in
the same way. Sometimes these plaits
are sewed together as far as the knees,
whence all the fullness bulges out like
very ample founce. At other times,

free even at the waist, and then the
skirt is called ia bonnie femme" Gin
plain English, 'the old woman').
Other skirts again are 'fulled" in only
at the back, while the front is as tight
fitting as princess robe. This is the
most popular shape so far. 1t gives
ease by the fullness at the back and
yet preserves in front the statuesuue
form SO dear to women. But, as every
dressmaker has a style and cut of her
own, we need not hesitate to adopt the
skirt which is most becoming to our
figure. In any case the quite tight
shapeless skirt is no longer worn by
any lady with ANY pretension to
taste as Lady Teazle would say.
In materials cloth holds it's own: but
what cloth! 1t is as light, supple and
sheeny as satin; the only wooden ap-
pearance about it. is slight, very
| slight, down. upon which the shade
changes like shot satin. We call these
cloths "pannes" satin. They are plain,
dotted spotted. Powered, befoliaged
and bestarred in quite irregular fash
ion, just like the stars which fill the
heavens above us.
For out Of doors the more simple a
dress the more elegant it is considered

HIRT waists are the stepping
stones from winter to summer
- wearing apparel and at this mo-
ment. the shops are flooded with
most attractive specimens. For the past
rev years they seem each season to
nave reached higher plane, both as
serviceable and as beautiful belongings.
Several new features are introduced
this spring which bear out my asser-
ton. For instance, collars are attached,
which not only afford greater degree
of comfort for the wearer and do away
with the double neckband and oft time
Dbstreperous back collar button, but in
Bure perfect At and neat appearance.
Then, too, there Is an advantage in the
abolition Of Jokes, which at best de.
stroyed the symmetry Of fine back
and lily concealed the defects Of one
not SO good.
3. Tight sleeves are to be commended as
being consistent with the orthodox
brother article from which shirt waists
were originated. Cuffs are gauntlet
shaped and are marks Of beauty, es-
pecially if the shirt is Of the lingerie
order When it is Of percale, pique or
other utility materials, the cuff is fitted
to the sleeve with upturning point, car
rying out the same idea. White collars
are the smart thing for colored shirts,
ana without exception are attached.
These are, of course, Of the standing
variety. Where colored collars are sup
pied they are invariably Of the turn
over sort, and not so deep as last year.
Inc very high collar has given place to
one designed for comfort rather than
snow-it may even have round corners
and be correct. If it takes the form of
an uninterrupted upright band, it fails
70 meet at the center. Colored piques,
chambray and mercerized cotton are
the leading materials of which the sea-
sonable shirt waists are made. Mercer
lied cotton is a novelty which will at
tract favorable attention. 1t is simply
sea island cotton with silky surface.
II is soft, pleasing to the touch. and
sends itself admirably tosthe purpose OF

SMART COATS.

Most coats have shallow basques and
are scalloped at the edge, sometimes
edged with fur. Many have vests of
velvet, or vests which only show lace,
for the use of lace was never more pro-
fuse for outdoor wear. Many of the
black cloth jackets, when they are
closed, look quite ordinary. but, thrown
open, display revers Of embroidered
satin and fronts to match.

HOSPITAL MUST GO.
People Again Promised Relief
From Salvation Army
Nuisance.

One of the recommendations of the
board of health was that the Salvation
Army hospital be compelled to move
because it is unsanitary and is nuis-
ance. A resolution requesting its re-
moval has been passed by the council
two or three times. but the council has
never attempted to compel its removal
Councilman Morgan opposed the rec
concentration. He said that the Saliva
ton Army has done a great deal of
good in Topeka with it's hospital and it
is entitled to credit for it. If the hospi-
tai is unsanitary, he said, the board of
health can require it to be put in a
sanitary condition without any action
by the council
Some one asked City Attorney Bird
if the council could compel the hospital
to move.
mo" said Mr.. Bird. 1.-The proper way
would be to for a member of the board
of health or some one else to appear
before me and swear out a complaint
that the hospital is a nuisance, and if
they will furnish evidence of the fact
1 will have it abated in police court"
City Physician Peers agreed to swear
out the complaint.

NOW FOR PARKS.
City Council Creates a Board to
Have Charge of Them.

One Of the most important of recent
actions of the city council was the pas
sage last night of a new ordinance ere
ating a board of park commissioners.
This action was taken to make up for
the deficiency in the plans for public
parks caused by Judge Hazen'S auditor
ium decision, which also knocked out
the special park board law.
The ordinance provides for the ap-
pointment by the mayor of five persons
who shall constitute a park commits
sion. The powers of the commission are
the same as those laid down in previous
ordinances of the kind.
Mayor Drew will appoint the three
park commissioners elected last spring
under the special law, NJ. A. Low, S. H.
Downs and M. c. Holman, and in addi-
ton he will appoint Edward Wilder
and J. P. GriswoId as the other two
members.
In connection with this the ways and
means committee presented a resolution
to set aside one mill on the dollar of the
general improvement fund for park
purposes. Mayor Drew called attention
to the fact that this would take $4,000
out of the general revenue fund, which
contains only $4,000. He opposed any
resolution decreasing the fund to such
an extent at present.
An amendment Wagy made to make the
amount only onehalf mill, but at the re-
quest of the mayor the matter was laid
over until he can call a meeting of the
council and present to it a, statement
of the entire income and expenses of
the city.

NEW BOXING RULES.
Referee Hogan Frames Set Along
QueensburY Lines

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Boxing rules re-
vised to cover severalnew points in ring
etiquette have been framed by Malachy
Hogan, the we'll known referee The
rules were completed today and will be
offered for test before any club which
sees fit to adopt them. They are framed
on the lines laid down by the Marquis
of Queensbury. Few of the old rules
have been materially changed, but sew
eral have been added and some en-
larged.
The incident of the Sharkey- Corbett
fight of 1898, when the former champion
lost when his seconds jumped into the
ring, is covered in the new rules. At
that time Con McVey simply climbed
through the ropes but did not touch
either man. The new rules specify that
for such an offenSe fighter shall not be
disqualified, but that the seconds shall
be ordered from the ring and the fight
continued
The case of a glove bursting or COM
ing off, as in the Sharkey- Jeffries fight,
is defined and the referee instructed to
the glove is replaced. Other points, such
as the ringing of the gong by a time
keeper before round is ended, are
made explicit. There is also a rule
against the throwing up of the sponge
by a second when the principal con-
cerned in plainly able to continue the
contest.
Boxers and referees in various parts
of the country will be asked to criticise
the rules with the idea of getting them
as comprehensive as possible. They
have already been adopted blythe Fort
Dearborn Athletic club of this city.

POLL TAX REVIVED.
City Council Will Again Inau-
gurate the System.

Every man in Topeka between the
ages of q and As who doesn't belong
either to the militia or the fire depart
ment, will hereafter have to donate So
for the benefit of the streets of the city.
OF else take a shovel and put in two
days labor on them himself He has
his choice of these two things. He can
not hire some boy to work it out for
him. In other words the poll tax has
been revived in Topeka.
City Attorney Bird drafted poll tax
ordinance in accordance with a request
from the ways and means committee
and it was passed by the council last
night, Councilman Blossom being the
only one who voted in the negative.
The ordinance provides that every
male citizen of Topeka between the
ages of 81 and As shall give the city two
days work on the streets, or in lieu
thereof shall pay a poll tax of So A
fine of from IS to $40 is provided for
those who refuse to do so.
There has not been a poll tax in To-
peka for a good many years. The leg
iSlature at one time passed q law ex-
empting cities above a certain popula-
ton from the operating of the poll tax
If this law is not still operative, but he
explained that the supreme court had
declared it invalid, so that there is
nothing to interfere with the establish
ment of poll tax if the council sees
fit
Councilman Hughes called attention
to the fact that members of the Ma
tional Guard and of the fire department
were exempt from poll tax requirements
by a state statute.
The poll tax will furnish, funds for
keeping the streets in repair, so that so
much money will not have to be taken
from the funds for this purpose, and
at the same time the streets can be
kept in better condition.

SHARKEY'S BROKEN RIBS
Not Healing as Rapidly as the Sailor
Would Desire.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-The Tribune says:
Thomas sharkey, the pugilist, is not
recovering from the injuries received in
his recent fight with Jeffries as rap
idly as he desires. For some time he
has been wearing around the body a
strong elastic bandage intended to
hold his broken ribs firmly in place.
Saturday he found this bandage was
not doing the work in a satisfactory
manner and was compelled to have
another bandage fitted, the second be-
ing much SITTER than the first. The
pugilist found that the bandage al
lowed his broken ribs to protrude when
he breathed, and the second bandage
was a, necessity if they were to be held
in their proper place. The task Of
fitting the bandage was severe, and
took two men some time to adjust it
properly.
An elastic bandage was also fitted to
a shoulder which has been ailing since
the fight.

A FEARFUL VOYAGE.
Schooner Muriei Buffeted About For
Forty Days.

Ports Townsend, Wash, Jan. 16.-The
schooner MurieI, after being puffeted
about on tempestuous seas for forty
days, in trying to reach Hakodate from
K ODE, has arrived here, nearly stripped
of sails and some of her spars gone.
The Muriel sailed from Kobe for Hako-
date with a cargo of sulphur for San
Francisco, and after leaving the former
port encountered severe gales for IA
days, at the expiration of which time
she found herself several hundred miles
further away from her destination than
the day she sailed with sails tattered
and torn and some of her spars carried
away. In this condition Captain Garlic
son deemed it impossible to reach
Hakodate, so with what reefng sails
he had he headed for Puget Sound, sail
ing before gales.
On one occasion, during the first IA
days out Captain CARLSON reports hav-
ing encountered a severe storm of snow,
hail and fire The night was very dark
and the wind was blowing with hurri-
cane force Sleet and hail ratified on
the deck, which, with the force of the
wind, endangered the lives of the sail
ors Great sheets of lightning swept
the sea and at times it appeared as
though the vessel was sailing in a sea
of fire Captain Carleson says 1t was
the most fearful experience he ever had
during his life at sea and feels thank
full that he and his crew are here to tell
the tale

IN SPITE OF HIS SCREAMS.
Struggle of Lieutenant Deeming, of
Topeka, to Escape Matrimony.

St. Joseph, Mo, Jan. 16.-John J.
Deeming. who was lieutenant in Co. A,
Twentieth Kansas, and went to the Phil
ippines, is at liberty once more. He
was arrested a month ago. soon after he
returned home, on a charge made by
Miss Tena Leonard of Council Bluffs,
Ia. Deeming was released today, when
the grand jury at Council Bluffs failed
to return an Indictment against him.
The young woman, who is very pretty
and of a good family, was infatuated
with Lieutenant Deeming and was de-
termined to become his wife. She had
known him at Council Bluffs before
he went to Kansas, where he after
ward enlisted. When he went away
she told all her friends that they We're
married, and called herself Mrs. Deem

and showed letters from him in which
he addressed her as his wife. The girl
visited the parents Of the young soldier
in this city and represented to them
that she was their daughter-in-Iaw.
When Deeming returned she came here
to join him.
Deeming repudiated his alleged wife
and declared that they had never been
married. Then Miss Leonard had him
arrested, charging that he had deceived
her under promise of marriage. His
lawyers tried to prevent the officers
from taking him back to Iowa, but he
was landed there at last. The end of
the romance was reached when the
grand jury failed to indict him.
The girl has made several visits to
the city since she first began to claim
that she was Deeming's wife. She came
when Deeming was at home and went
to hotel to spend the night, after fall
ing to convince his parents that he was
married to the infatuated girl.

NO MORE HYPNOTISM.
City Council Will Prohibit Public
Exhibitions

Exh1b tt1OnS-
There will be no more hypnotic exhi-
billions in Topeka, unless they are given
before the next meeting of the city
council. The council last evening in
structed City Attorney Bird to draw up
an ordinance to prohibit all such exhi-
billions in the future.
The board of health made a recon-
mendation that no hypnotists be allow
ed to use subjects under Il years of age
at public exhibitions. When this recon-
mendation was read Mrs. J. G.. Wood
appeared before the council and read a
lengthy paper on the evils of hypnotism-
She said the average hypnotist almost
always took boys to work on because
they are easy subjects. She claimed
that if placed under the influence very
often the subject is apt to develop hys-
terra and other nervous diseases, and
will be subject to Authorizations. Mrs.
will leave the stage shortly and has
promised her to come back to Kansas
next year and help her get a bill through
the legislature to prohibit hypnotism.
At the close of Mrs. Woods paper
Councilman Nettels moved that the city
attorney be instructed to draw up an
ordinance in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the board of health,
but Councilman Burgess said he did not
think that went far enough and he
wanted the entire business stopped. Mr..
Nettels accepted an amendment that
the ordinance prohibit public hypnotic
exhibitions entirely.
Make the fine good and big, Mr. City
Attorney" said Councilman Burgess
TN do better than that" said Mr..
Bird. I'm put in both a fine and i'm
