DIRECToIRE GOWNS DOOMED
Fashionable MOdistes Abandon IL for
styles of the Renaissance
Period.

Seeking for fresh worlds to conquer, the
dressmakers of highest renown nave defl-
nitely abandoned the directoire period as
their source of inspiration and are going
TO take the renaissance for their guide. 1t
was a day of sumptuous dress. influenced
mainly by Italy and particularly by Venice
and Florence, a day of lavish display of
jewelry and of a very pretty IL extravaganza
taste in perfumes. Catherine de Medici and
Margaret of Valois in all their splendor
will serve as patterns for the new modes.
Nor will the ~dandified dress of the men
OF their time, worn by Charles TX and
Henri III. among others, fail to supply OBJ
ject lessons for freaks and fancies adapted
to modern feminine use.
The new influence is also called Botti-
CELL. We shall have Botticelli frocks and
Botticelli millinery. Our jewelry VIII be
Florentine and our bellies may possibly cul-
tiyate the air of wistful melancholy that
is the great charm OF the Botticellt femi-
nine model.

HOODS IN VOGUE FOR OPERA
They Are Made of Fur, Chiffon, SILK
and Many Effective Now
city Stufs.

Since in most Of the theaters women are
compelled to take off their hats, opera
hoods have been made the proper evening
headgear. They are made of fur, broad
cloth, pompadour silk and chiffon. A de-
cidedly effective and not remarkably ex-
p~ensive hood is of pink chiffon lined with
pink. with a ruffle of lace next to the face.
The material is shirred on reeds, not to be
~dlsarranged easily.
Fur is now counted among the snIartest
trimming. both for handsome tailored gowns
and coats. Pony skin, caracul, and seal are
most In evidence on the foot of skirts,
When only a narrow band is used It is
difficult to tell the imitation from the real
fur.
Oddly as 1t may seem the neckpieces are
suddenly growing smaller and the muffs
correspondingly bigger. Tho collars scarcely

Politics of Appointment.

The appointment of DR.. John Koutsky
as deputy registrar Of vitality statistics of
South Omaha, which was announced by
the head of the State Board OF Health,
DR.. w. H. Wilson. yesterday, follows an
interesting bit of South Omaha life on the
inside of the political circle.
Heretofore the city clerk, ]. ]. Gillin and
e. p. Roggen. his deputy, have been the
appointees as deputy and sub-deputy to
compile these statistics. In all rural dis
tricts the law provides a fee Of % cents per
entry for births and deaths. This is di-
vided between the deputy and sub-deputy,
Is and 10 cents each. In cities of the metro
politan class the state pays no fees, but
it was interpreted to mean that the mu-
nicipality was 10 shoulder the payment Of
the fee which has usually amounted to
from s. to so monthly in South Omaha.

again he found the clause in the law
covering vital statistics which reads: PRO
vided, Further, that local registrars in
cities of the metropolitan class and first
class cities shall receive no further COM
pensation for duties performed under this
act" He interpreted this to mean there
should be no fee at all for compiling the
statistics. So he refused 10 pay the claim
OF the clerk and his deputy when next pre-
scented. The clerk and deputy claim thai

means explicitly that they are entitled to

LATEST IN WEDDING RINGS
Fashionable Young British Officer
Takes Up the Business as
a Fad.

The latest craze for a fashionable young
man has been started by Mr.. wodehouse,
a popular and smart-looking British Of
ficer.
He devotes his leisure to the making OF
wedding rings for the brides OF his in
innate friends. He has made 12S since he
took UP the amusement.
Mr.. Wodehouse beats out the bar of gold
and engraves initials, dates and desired
inscriptions within the golden circle. He
made the ring now worn by Mrs. John
Ward, Ambassador Reds daughter, and
also that for Lady Alastair Innis Ker.
There is a superstition that it is unlucky
not to pay for the ring, Mr.. Wodehouse
does not disregard this. so he insists that
every bridegroom shall pay Cd for each
ring.

SHOULD REMAIN SINGLE.
President Eliot Says College Instruct
 ors Should Not Marry.

Chicago, April 10.-Young college instructors should live in state of single blessedness, according to Pres ident Charles Eliot of Harvard uni versity, who lectured on ''The Trus- tees" at Northwestern university last night. Only when the instructor had advanced to an assistant professor ship should he contemplate matri- mony, in the view of the eastern edu- cators.
 "The trustees of a university should use careful judgment in regu- lating the scale of salaries for teach CTS and officers of the university" President Eliot said. "The salary for an instructor beginning to teach in a university should be the amount needed by a young unmarried man to live comfortably but not in luxury.
 "The salary should be advanced as the instructor gains in usefulness and by the time he is ready for an assist ant professorship his salary should be enough to enable him to support a wife and two or three children con- fortably but not in luxury.
 Under all circumstances the trus- tees should use good judgment in ar ranging the scale of salaries and take into consideration the circum- stances and surroundings of each separate instance"

DANIEL SULLY IN A RUNAWAY.
The Actor Thrown From His Wagon
 and Badly Injured.

Kingston, N. Y, April 10.-Daniel Sully, the actor, had a narrow es- cape from being killed yesterday afternoon and as 1t is was quite badly injured. MT Sully lives in Woodstock at the foot of the Cats kills, and, as is his custom, lays off his company the last two weeks in Lent. He had been in this city yesterday shopping, and while driv- ing home his team of horses ran away, going at breakneck speed through North Front and Wall streets and then over bridge cross ing the Esopus creek into the town of Ulster.
 There the wagon struck stone and was overturned, throwing out MT Sully, who landed on the side of his head and shoulder. He was picked up unconscious and carried to house and hospital ambulance from this city was sent for. He was brought to friends home and later to the Benedicune sanitarium. Doc tors say no bones are broken and think no serious results will ensue. The side of his face was badly torn, several teeth loOsened and part of his clothing torn off. The team was stopped after going about mile, not being injured, but the wagon was wrecked.

SCHAEFER IS ILL.
Sutton May Get the Championship By
 Default,

Chicago, April 10.-The billiard match for the 1S.1 balk line cham pionship of the world, billed for May II between Jacob Schaefer and George Sutton, will go by default to Sutton, the challenger, unless the present champion recovers from his serious illness in time to defend his title, of which there is little hope.
 Sutton left last night for Roches- ter, to take the wizards" place in the exhibition tour with Hoppe, as Schaefer became too i'll in Albany tC complete his engagement. Just be- fore he left, Sutton said that accord ing to the rules governing the cham pionship trophy 1t would be impossi- ble for him to agree to a postpone ment. He said, however, he would not take a sick mans money and would return to Schaefer his forfeit of $250 if the match was not played. Schaefer has been sick for the last two weeks, suffering from an u.cerat- ed stomach.
 A few days rest at his home in Chicago has done much for the cham pion but it will be five or six weeks at least before he will be allowed to handle a cue.

ATTACK ON HUGHES.
Albany Republican Leader Will Not
 Support Governors Candidacy.

Albany, N. Y.. April 10.-State Com mitteeman William Barnes, Jr., of this county ill statement sent by him to the Twenty third congressional district Republican convention in acceptance of election as delegate to the Repub- lican national convention declared that he would not vote at Chicago for the nomination of Governor Charles E. Hughes, whose political course he sharply criticised. He made it plain that his preference was for Taft.
 Mir. Barnes and Mayor Horace s. Van Voast of Schenectady were elected as delegates to the Chicago convention. There was no contest. The delegation is uninstructed, the resolutions simply indorsing the administration of Presi- whatever of Governor Hughes.
 This is what MT. Barnes says about Governor Hughes:
 "The governor of the state of New York is candidate for the presiden- tial nomination and should be pledged to the record of the party and its fu- ture cohesiveness Did I believe that such was his attitude I would cheer. fully vote for his nomination to the Chicago convention. It would be the natural and orderly thing to do; but, confident that am from a close exam nation of his public utterances and his record as governor that there is in his mind no deep concern for the party that created him, cannot justify my self if l lend my support to his candi- dacy. From his record learn that he is an exponent of individualism and not the custodian of honorable party government. Because of this irrespon- sibllity to those who have been his fol lowers and adherents will not be able in justice to my own opinion and to what believe is best for the nation to cast my vote for him at Chicago"
 Referring to Mir. Taft, MT. Barnes declared that had he not requested that those who believe in the wisdom of his candidacy should not interfere with any of the so called ''favorite sons" he would announce his intention to support Taft at Chicago.
