LOUIS SAKS HAS
 SPRING OPENING
IT WAS ONE OF THE SMARTEST SEEN IN REGENT YEARS-MANY IMPORTED MODELS IN LADIES' DEPARTMENT.

The first of the spring openings at Louis Saks was one of the smartest of several seasons.
 Many imported models were shown from famous coutourieres. Among the pretti- est of the gowns for early spring wear was an imported tan vaile with an af- fective touch of green velvet. Another gown of artistic elegance was of white Jap silk with the skirt and bodice show ing the lace medallions, the handwork of the women of the Cape Nude Islands. A Doueet gown was of fancy cheviot, with Persian bands and a handsome aft ernoon toilette was of black chantilly lace, the coat of cream cloth loose fitting the bishop sleeves of white chantilly over satin.
 There were exquisite white gowns with the ever popular Irish lace used in their trimmings and the early prophecy Of the fashion writers in regard to a white sea- son. was verified.
 In the department where the separate waists were displayed dozens of stylish and elegant waists were shown. Unusual attention was given to the selection of this special line in the ready-made de- partment, and each waist, in it's indi- vidual style, might have been selected for distinctive type of feminine beauty. Crepe de chine and the soft, shimmering peau de soies are popular materials, and combined with the quantities of hand stitched tucks and relieved with the in- sertions of lace, are ready for the dressi- est occasions.
 The shrtwaist suits in figured foulards are extremely smart, and among the newest things to be shown this week are the shortwaist suits in linen ranging in price from $60 to $7O.
 The coats for the early days of spring, and without which no summer wardrobe is complete, are shown in delicate neu- tral tlnts that combine so prettily with the fashionable laces
 The show windows of the Saks store are remarked for their general attractive ness. They exhibit wonderful taste, and are in every respect metropolitan.

 Physicians Fail.

 The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as In eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in sealed head; the facial disflgurement. AS in pimples and rlngworm; the awful suf- fering of infants, and anxiety of worn out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum, = all demand a remedy of almost superhumnn virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest cvi. dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.

JOHN w. DWELL AND
 THOMAS H. SIMS WIN
DID NOT SAY SAMUEL
 SPENCER WOULD RETIRE

senee of MT. Finley, who has been in Eu- rope for several months and would re- main there until about the 1st of May
 Colonel Henderson added that when the reporter spoke of the possibility Of such a change taking place after Mir. Finley's return, he replied that he did not know. but that there was a tendency with large corporations when business became over whelming for the duties of the president to be divided, and for one man to be chairman of the board, and the other to be in immediate touch with the opera ton of the property. He expressed the opinion that if such a change should ever take place in the Southern that Mir. Fin ley would naturally be the man selected.
 Colonel Henderson further says in his letter that the conversation was utterly devoid of public interest, and that he had no idea whatever Of making any an- nouncement other than to say that the reports which the reporter brought to him were incorrect so far as he knew.

 ATTEND S2ND ANNIVERSARY
 CELEBRATION OF ODD EEL LoWs-oRDER GROWING FAST.

The anniversary of the Independent or der of odd Fellows will be celebrated Tn an unusual manner in Birmingham this year.
 April 27 will mark the eighty-second wear of the order and also the close of period of twelve months of the most re- markable growth in it's history. Mag noIia Lodge, the banner lodge of the state in point of membership, at its meet ing last night at Magnolia hall received an interesting report from the special committee appointed on anniversary en- tertainment.
 The committee is composed of Jake Burger, John Woodrow and Sam H. Har- ris. It reported that a joint meeting of committees from the four lodges of the city had been held and that Jake Burger had been elected chairman and Sam H. Harris secretary; that an invitation had been extended to Grand Sire John B. Goodwin of Atlanta to be present, which had been accepted. This is the first time in the history of odd Fellowship that the grand sire was selected from the south, and his presence at the anniver- sary entertainment will give much inter- est to the occasion.
 The. joint committee is busy on pro- gramme for the day. Each lodge of the state and visiting Odd Fellows will be in- vited to attend the celebration
 Magnolia Lodge took the initiative in working up the plans for the celebration, but has had the most hearty support of sister lodges. Jake Burger, chairman of the joint committee, is grand master elect of Alabama and has for years been a most active member of Magnolia Lodge. He will be installed at the coming grand lodge session at Tuscaloosa.
 Deputy Grand Master-elect T. L. Med ders, who will be installed at the same time was a visitor at Magnolia Lodge last night and made an interesting talk

MATURING PLANS
 FOR THE COLLEGE
PreSbyterians Will Help Worthy
 Boys to Education
A MEETING OF TRUSTEES
Protected Institution Will Have Both Academic and Collegiate Depart ments-students Will Be Re-
 uuired to Do Manual Work

At A meeting of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian College of Alabama held yesterday afternoon in the Presby- terian church. it was decided to make the protected. institution include an academic and a collegiate course
 The proposed enterprise was freely dis- cussed by those present and each one was enthusiastic over the work which has been undertaken.
 The Rev W. E. MeIllwain. recently elected president of the college, was at the meeting.
 Rev D. c. Lilly of Tuscaloosa presided as chairman. Others present were: F. r. Glass of Montgomery, Caldwell Brad shaw of Birmingham, Neil l.. Anderson of Montgomery, T. w. Coleman of Eu- taw and Dr. J. G. Snedecor of Wood lawn.
 Maturing Plans.
 The plans for the college are maturing very rapidly. President McTllwain gave his ideas yesterday to the trustees After a discussion it was decided to have a two years course in the academic course and four years in the collegiate. or classi- cal. The academic will correspond to the high schools.
 1 A unique feature of the institution, and what will be a distinct novelty among the white schools of the south, will be an industrial department, not in the sense that trades will be taught but that the boys who attend will be required to help in manual labor to assist in decreasing the expenses of the institution This will be done to bring down the cost of tuition to the very lowest possi- ble figure, and make it possible to edu- cate boys of good character and good ability who cannot afford to pay any tuition. Such lads will not be refused ad- mittance even though they cannot afford to pay one dollar for an education.
 Hired Servants.
 Admitted to the college the boys will be required to do some work every day. as it Is proposed to do away with any hired servants. What the promoters want is to establish a good college where poor boys who want to be educated can receive the best advantages without cost to them.
 A location has not been decided upon, and in fact this question will not be dis cussed until at least OOOO towards the college has been subscribed. At the pres ent time subscriptions amounting to Sle.- has not yet been made.
 The trustees adjourned to meet again on April at the same place, when further plans for the institution will be con sidered.
