RKSTTI.T OF WOMAK'S TASTE. It Is not generally known that the se lection of the prevailing colors of blue and white—and particularly that shade of blue known as "navy blue”— In naval uniforms is the result of a woman’s taste. Toward the close of the rolgn of George II efforts were made to clothe the officers and sailors in the English navy with some degree of uniformity. Previously the men, as a rule, dressed themselves in whatever manner seemed pleasing to each or in whatever habiliments they could afford or the purser's stores offered. Asa re sult of this lack of system, nearly ev ery color and shade of the rainbow was represented in the wearing ap parel of man-of-rvar’s men, compared with which Joseph's "coat of many colors” paled Into insignificance. Those AFTER SICKNESS Has weakened your system and left you almost helpless you will find a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters very beneficial.

HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS officers who had the means arrayed themselves in any extreme of fashion that happened to be prevailing on shore at (that time. Smollett tells of an °*p er who affected a pink silk coat, white satin waistcoat, crimson breeches, white silk stockings and shoes of “blue meroquin.” I was to bring about some uniform ity in the dress of the officers and men in the royal navy that George II convened a solemn council of the greatest men in his kingdom, with in structions to decide on suitable colors for man-of-war's men. A model of the uniforms suggested by each mem ber of the council was made, and these were placed in a row around the council chamber. One of the members of the council was the Hon. John Forbes, who, in 1757, resigned his seat in the admiral ty rather than sign the death warrant of the unfortunate Admiral Byng. Forbes records; "Adverting to the es tablishment of the naval uniform, I was summoned on that occasion to attend the Duke of Bedford, and, be ing introduced into an apartment around which were various dresses, my opinion was asked as to the most appropriate. 1 said blue and red, as they were our national colors. “ ‘No,’ replied his grace, ‘the King has decided otherwise, for, having seen my duchess riding in the park a few days ago in a hahit of blue, faced with white, the dress took tjie fancy of his majesty, who has ap pointed it for the uniform of the royal navy.’ ” WHAT’S WH AT IN FEATHERS. Coq is here. Ostrich leads. Paradise comes next. J Marabout is exquisite. Marabout aigrettes are clumsy. Long coq plumes are handsome. Marabout is most effective used flat. Breast effects are used for entire turbans. Paradise plumes are done in all shadings. The loveliest pompons are done in ostrich. Fine coq pompoms are among the most effective sorts. Breast plumage is used to hide the start of the beautiful paradise plumes. One large feather pompon is now used rather than the six or more smaller ones. Fine ostrich plumes in many in stances show a length of marabout along the stem. Shaded ostrich plumes in olive and damson introduce also the rainbow tints with great discretion. RECIPE FOR VELVET CANDY. Take one cup of molasses, three cups of sugar, one cup of boiling water and three tablespoonfuls of vinegar. When the candy boils well add half a tea spoonful of cream of tartar. Boil un til brittle in cold water, stirring to ward the last. Pour into buttered pans and when cooled a little pull with the thumbs and fingers lightly. Add the flavoring, lemon, peppermint, or win tergreen, while the pulling is going on. When sufficiently pulled cut in proper lengths with large scissors. FRIDAY EVENING AT THE Y. M. C. A. Will Be Entertainment Evening During the Winter Season.

Hill, of Unlverslty of Georgia, In In City. Chancellor Walter B. Hill of the University of Georgia was in the city yesterday, registered at the De Soto. He came for the purpose of inspecting the Industrial College on behalf of the board of trustees. "I found the industrial school in ex cellent condition.” said Chancellor Hill, "both In the academic and In dustrial work. I was much pleased with what I saw. "Regarding the University of Geor gia, I would say that the total regis tration thus far exceeds the total reg istration of any former session, and that with the number of students reasonably anticipated after Christ mas holidays, and before the begin ning of the second term on Feb. 1, the probability is that the attendance for the year will largely exceed any record. "The board of trustees of the uni-, verslty, at the suggestion of Mr. George Peabody, have decided to visit the University of Wisconsin at Madi son. The trustees will leave Nov. 15. Mr. Peabody, co-operating with Mr. Spencer, of the Southern Railway, will provide a special train. The wives of the trustees have also been invited to take the trip. Gov. Terrell and Mrs. Terrell will go. Col. P. W. Meldrlm and Judge Samuel B. Adams of Sa vannah are also members of the board." ORDINANCES PASSED.

OCTOBER 27. 1004 AT THE THEATER Murray and Mack have been so long in mediocre comedy, in which they found limited opportunity for the display of the merit which they really possess in more refined amusement, thSt few were prepared for the very excellent treat offered at the matinee and evening performances yesterday when "An English Daisy” was pre sented. This duo of comedians have been looked on as “staple” goods in the comedy line, but they have made cap ital out of their first effort to please the downstairs crowd, with just enough "red light” variety to appease the roaring gallery god. An English Daisy” is a musical comedy with both music and comedy and was presented by singers and comedians. Such a commonplace state ment ordinarily means but little, but to-day when there are so many “alle gtttors ’ making up the advance no tices, this statement carries much force with it. In Atlanta one of the papers severely criticised the produc tion. which .certainly must not have been the verdict of the theater patrons who go to the theater to see a musical comedy. When this attraction was first put on the road two real live lions were carried along at a great expense. In the scene where the performers get near the cage one of the beasts reached out its claw and came very near killing one of the women in the cast. Since then the real live ones have been discarded and two realistic property lions are now used. Asa musical comedy Murray & Mack have made a success of the roau presentation of “An English Daisy.” The Ade-Wathall musical satire, “The Sultan of Sulu.” will be the at- 1 THOMAS WHIFFRN In “The Sultnn of Sula.*' traction to-night. This delightful Gil bertian opera, with its keen, incisive' humor and brilliant satire, is tiot new to patrons of musical attractions, as it enjoyed a six months’ run at Wal lace's Theater in New York, and play ed long engagements in Chicago, Bos ton, Philadelphia and other cities. It comes to town heralded as one of the most substantial and lasting suc cesses of recent years. As suggested by its title. "The Sultan of Sulu,” re cites certain events Supposed to have occurred In the Philippines Islands dur ing the American Invasion. The po tentate is a whimsical and polygamous individual. He occupies the throne of Sulu or Jolo, the largest of the South ern islands of the Philippine group. The American invasion and the ar rival of a company of soldiers com manded by Lieut. Hardy, U. S. A., to civilize the monarch, add to hla com plications, which are already large as he has recently appropriated eight of a neighboring Datto, or chief's wives, and war is imminent. Matters are straightened out some what by the Judge advocate, compell ing the Sultan to divorce all his wives but one, and Uncle Sam’s soldiers im mediately falling In love with and marrying them. The Judge advocate Is a strong-minded maiden lady of the Bostonese type. She has for her as sistants, four New England school teachers, who are pretty and demure and dance so gracefully that they, too, win the susceptible Sultan's love the moment he beholds them. Civilization with its cocktails, alimony, and other Incidents peculiar to modern life, sits heavily upon the comic potentate, so much so in fact that he Is unable to live up to the new state of affairs and is cast into one of his own jails. He Is liberated, however, on a legal tech nicality, and finally made Governor of his own island.

The "Silver Slipper” will be seen here next Monday night. The church, the school and the stage are the founts from which flow the precepts which regulate social Inter course with no less force than the etvil laws. Ibsen's "Ghosts” Is a preach ment from the stage directing the mind to the scriptural teaching that the "sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children.” It is more than a lesson, it Is a living, throbbing real ity expressed with all the power of a perfect company of dramatic artists. "Ghosts" will be seen In this city next Wednesday, matinee and night. SHERIFF ENJOINED FROM COLLECTING SPECIAL TAX. National I’nekliiK fo. Will Not Have to l*ay Special Tax.
