Complain that He Gave Everything TO

LONDON. May 1O.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram j-Oxford is still
agitated over the Rhodes bequest, concern
ing the utility of which varying opinions
exist in academic circles A motion made
in the oxford Union Debating society, tha
forcing house Of future British statesmen,
that Rhodes scheme was impracticable and
incompatible with the best interests Of
oxford, was hotly debated and defeated by
1873 votes to 30. Bitter complaint is made
that Rhodes did nothing for English schol-
ars, but only for Yankees, Germans and
colohials.
Prof. Phelps Of Oriel gives an account Of
Rhodes college character and career which
reads strangely in view Of the enthusiastic
declarations Of his will. Prof. Phelps says:
He was a man for whom the studies OF the
place meant nothing. He had no sympathy
with the literary tradition Of scholarships
or science OF oxford. He cared nothing for
the characteristic amusements OF under
graduate life or the distinctions they con-
fer. AS a result he formed no lasting ties
of friendship. no very wide circle Of ac-
quaintance.'

newest regulations for his courts read
strangely to those who cannot appreciate
the nioeties OF etiquet that hedge around
royalty. The following instructions appear
on the Invitations to the next court;
'If a girl debutantee is presented she
wears a train, as Will the lady who presents
her. and both may pass the royal presence,
but II a married woman is presented the
lady presenting her does not wear a train
and does not pass the king and queen.
Ladies who do not pass will remain in a
different room with their husbands and
after the court is over the king and queen
will pass through this apartment and see
their guests and probably speak to some OF
those they know"
The king has even so arranged II that
other royalties are kept quite in the back
ground at his receptions instead OF stand
ing in a semicircle around the sovereign
as in the late reign. Such guests as pro-
ceed to supper have the privilege of pass
ing the royal table, loaded with delicacies
while they themselves partake OF sand
wlches sweetmeats and thin champagne.

pered In diplomatic circles that two French
specialists, one OF them Or. PozEi, were
summoned to Holland for a consultation as
to Queen Wilhelminas condition. Despite
the encouraging bulletins. the experts here
believe the queen is still in grave danger
on account OF the almost unavoidable com
plications. France has displayed the
warmest sympathy throughout her illness.
Since the government sent the cruiser
Gelderland to bring Kruger to Europe VIII

unanimous opinion among statesmen is that
in the case of the queens death Holland
will surely refuse to accept a monarch
either from Prussia or Saxe-Weimar and
will undoubtedly become a republic.

For example. there is. the charming de-
sign Of Ruudnitz, which expresses the
coming Of autumn in its rich tones OF ser
pent green and blue, combination that
bids fair to be extremely popular,
The material is a satin-faced novelty
cloth of medium weight, and shows fine
check scattered with polka dots In dark

fitted to the figure by means OF tucks run
in clusters and conYerging toward the
waist line, while at the knees there is
space of about FIVE inches between the
clusters. shaped founce set upon the
upper section of the skirt displays more
tucks, following out the perpendicular lines
slightly marked in the fitted part.
Huge four-petaled flowers of Cluny, In
conventional arrangement, are inserted at
this point, and the effect Of the lace insets
is much enhanced by the delicate outlining

neck cut down to show a dainty yoke or
white mousseline. A piping Of black velvet
outlines the neck, while narrow ribbons OF
the same fasten across the bust. From the
shoulders to the wide ceinture Of white silk
elastic there extends, each side Of the open
ing, a row of shaped insets Of Cluny,
placed end to end.
Below the elbow the closely tucked sleeve
is released, and the puff thus formed Is ga tn

The scoop hat worn with this dress is faced
with black, and is surmounted by huge
breast Of soft, downy white, caught tone
side und err a twist Of blue and green miroir

The second model, from Denova, is Of blue
Sicilian, dotted with white.
This presents an attractive arrangement
Of piaits and gives very pretty idea of how
to secure a becoming flare to: the skirt with
out having any extra thickness about the
hips. In the first place, the, skirt is cut in
several cores, and these are set together 1T
the seams by inserting three graduated box
plaits. Strapped effects are very much in
vogue, and In this gown the plaits are con-
lined by two rows Of pointed straps made Of
the Sicilan and outlined with fancy knots
and stitches in blue, white and black en-
broidcry silk. The two rows Of straps fol-
back, and this effect, combined with the
long, straight front panel, counteracts the
shortening tendency Of the hip yoke and
succeeds in imparting an appearance Of
height to the figure.
The corsage is a bolcro, having shoulder
yoke OF gupure, showing the pattern picked
out with old rose and green embroideries.
Three tubular plaits of the cloth alternate
with strips of white silk to form the jacket,
and there is a touch Of embroidery to soften
the contrast of the dark blue and white.
Red is going to be popular color for the
coming season, and certainly there is moth
ing more stunning than its rich tone. Tie
new red, however, shows grayish tinge on
the surface Of the fabric, which softens the
most flaming tint. In a pliabe material
