The World of Fashion at Newport.

TOiletteS Seen on Bellevue Ayenue.-The
DirectOire GOwn.-The Sheath Skirt
Costumes Worn al the Casino Dances
Dresses of Linen and P0ngee.-The
Transparent Sleeve.
Never before has there been quite such
a successful season at Newport as at the
present time. On every fine afternoon
Bellevue Avenue is thronged with car
riages and automobiles containing the
very creme de la creme OF American So
ciety, together with a fair sprinkling of
foreign diplomats and various English
and European noblemen who are visit
ing THE cottagers.
The costumes worn at the Casino
dances as well as at all private balls,
dinners and receptions are brilliant in
the extreme Everywhere the highest
note of fashion is struck by the direCtore
gown. The directoire tOilettes OF cen
fury ago were reviyals OF the attire Of
the ancient Greeks and Romans and con
sequently the fashions OF the present day
still retain many Of these classical effects.
The practical application that the
French modiste makes of the directoire
is seen in the generaluse of the coat with
large draped revers, big pockets, high
collar and braid and button ornaments,
Stimulating the rich trimmings of the
period.
These coats are nearly always com
bined with the new sheath skirt about
which such sensational accounts have
recently appeared. But this skirt is
really but an exaggerated style of the
closely draped and circular cut skirts
that were featured in the spring fashions.
Some of the great Paris dressmakers in
an effort to attract attention have late
" brought out models of radically ex-
IRENE character, some of these skirts
being so close-htting that nothing can
be worn under them but silk tights,
while Others are slit up the side to show
lace or accordion pleated petticoat.
But it is needless to say that these ultra
models have not found favor on this side
of the water.
This summer, elaboration is the watch
word of the evening gown and the frocks
worn at the Newport dances most GER
tainly carry out this idea. Most charm
ing are the costumes made of embroider-
ed and spangled net This lace or net is

OPERA "ERMINlE" BEING PRE-
PARED.

The Choral society held its regular
rehearsal last night and the prospects
are very bright for its presentation of
the bright and tuneful opera" Erminie,"
which was great New York success
some years ago. There were over sixty
singing members in attendance last
night and the entire first act of the
opera, including the stage action, dia.
logue and music, was covered, and the
other two acts of the opera will soon be
put into rehearsal, so that Mr. Howard
feels that the production will be ready
for presentation the latter part of Jan
uary, here at the opera house, and Il is
expected that the society will also take
the production to Merrill, Marshfeld
and Grand Rapids.
The society is in communication with
costumers in Chicago and it is expected
that the contracts for costuming the
opera will be placed with Mr.. Fritz
Schultz, of Chicago, who costumed the
production here some years ago of
'Iolanthe" and 1.-THE Bohemian Girl
The society's next rehearsal will be
next Monday night.

ing at his home, APO Central Ave. He
had been troubled with a chronic com
plant for some time, but was able until
yesterday to attend to his duties as a
foreman in the factory of the Curtis a.

feeling unwell and went home. He
felt little better in the evening and
came down to the Cash Trading Co.'s
store, in which he was financially inter-
ested. He remained there until about
eight o'clock and then went home and
retired. Some time during the night he
was seized with pains and went into
commissions, and though medical aid
was at once summoned, he lapsed into
and expired

New York, fifty three years ago. He
came to Wausau over twenty years ago
and nearly ever since he had been in
the employ of the Curtis a. Yale Co

which captured nearly all the prizes in
sight at the international drill contests
held in Chicago in the sos When the
Spanish American War Veterans socie-
ty was organized in this city he became
a member. He was also a member of
the Odd Fellows lodge. For several
years Mr.. Yosburg served as member
of the board of education and was one
of its most valued members
During all of his residence in this city,
Mr.. Vosburg has ever been an honored
citizen and man highly respected by
all of his acquaintance, and his death
is deeply deplored.
He is survived by his wife and three
children, Leora, Jacob and Signaretta.
The time for holding the funeral has
not been set as yet.

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.

The special meeting of the stock
holders of the Tausau Street Railroad
company was held in the hall of the
First National bank building on Tues
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock, to consider
matters pertaining to the repeating aud
amending of certain bylaws and deter
mining on the sale and disposition of
the Mosinee water power owned by the
company. There was enougt stock
represented TO transact business rel
alive to making changes in the bylaws,
but not enough represented to act upon
the disposition of the Mosinee wafer
power, therefore an adjournment was
taken for one week. An hour or more
was taken up in discussing plan which
had been advanced to consolidate the
water powers at Trappe rapids, Roths-
childs and Mosinee. These powers
are Owned oy different parties.
The Wausau Street Railroad COM
pany now has sufficient power to fur
nish all that is needed for Wausau aGd
improve the Mosinee power, there
would be no way to dispose of it to local
concerns. IL was proposed to dispose
of the three powers to a company
formed for the purpose of improving
them as conditions warranted and for
the owners of such powers to take stock
in the new company to the amount of
the purchase price of their respective
powers. This plan seemed to be very
favoraly received by the stockholders
of the Wausau Street Railroad Co. and
was quite thoroughly discussed, and it
is very probable that the stockholders
at the special meeting this afternoon,
will vote 10 authorize the sale on those
conditions. The owners of Tie Trappe
Water Power and Rothschilds Water
Power companies met the past week to
consider the plan atd to take some
action in the matter, and their con-
clusions will no doubt be given at the
special meeting this afternoon.
Without a consolidation of the nature
suggested, the powers will remain un-
improved for years, doing no one any
good. On the other hand, such com
pany as is proposed will commence the
work of improvement within a short
time and no telling what may happen
ia the next few years in the develop
ment of these vast powers.

DENTISTS GATHER.

Last evening there was organized in
this city, at the Wausau Club house, a
society to be known as Wisconsin River
Valley Dental society. A society of
this nature had been talked uf for some
time and an invitation was sent out to
cities of the valley and Amigo, Marsh
field and other adjacent cities and
there was a good representation of all
except from Stevens Point and that
none attended from that city was some
what of disappointment.
There were twenty-three dentists
present, the cities of Merrill, Toma-
hawk. Amigo, Grand Rapids, Edgar
Marshfield and Wausau being represent
ed The following officers were elected.
President--Dr. B. II. Conlin, Waussu.

SKATING RINK.

The ice rink at Eau Claire Villa is
perhaps the best ice skating surface
open to the public. F. b. Fullmer, its
proprietor, has gone to good deal of
expense to clear 1t of snow and to keep
it in good condition. There can be no
safer place for skaters, young or old,
than on the Eau Claire pond at Scho-
field and in the two acres which Mr.
Fullmer has cleared, there is not a
weak spot. 1t is lighted by three arc
lights which are arranged so as to make
the rink as light as day on the darkest
night 1t will require a good patron
age to keep this rink going and Mr..
Fullmer respectfully soicits the patron
age of the citizens of Wausau.

FERGUSON RE-ENGAGED.

Chas. Ferguson of st. Paul, who man
aged the Wausau base ball team during
the years 1907-08, spent several days in
the city last week. Up to the time of
his arrival nothing had been done
towards securing manager for 1909,
though MIR. Ferguson is the property of
the Wausau directors, to use base ball
term. He had several offers to 90 else
where and it was for the purpose of Tx
ing up matters that he came here He
and the directors dickered for several
days before they could reach an agree
ment. The new salary limit is a
stumbling block with all the clubs.
Before leaving the city the club direc-
tors and Mr.. Ferguson came to terms
whereby he will manage the team
again next year. This will be good
news for all Wausau fans, for here is
not better judge of base ball material
in the league than he. The coming
year he will play more regularly than
he did last year. Wien he warns up
ne can nOiu MS own with the best OF
them.
From now until the opening of the
practice season he will have his weather
eye out for players and already has a
number in sight. 1t is too early as yet
to say what the preliminary practice
program for next spring will be, but no
doubt it will be similar to that of last
year, for the benefits derived from last
years ante-season work was per-
ceptible to everyone, even to blind
man. On that trip, which was entirely
on Ferguson's own responsibility, he
suffered somewhat financially on ac-
count of cold, rainy weather. Next
spring weather conditions in Illinois
and Iowa might be different.
