 Yellow and hcliotropc arc combined in several of the Eew models.
 Black silks and satins are again among the most popular of dress fabrics for spring wear
 Little satin capcS arc much favored, and tho satin should be stiff enough to stand alone.
 Black chiffon or mousscllnc dc soie and honiton lace, in rich dead white, combine beautifully.
 Printed satins, chcne silks and taffetas of all sorts arc popular for the fancy waists that everybody wears.
 Ono of the latest things in house shoes has an clkskin sole. Its advantages arc flexibility and noisclessncSs.

Call Upon all Good Citizens to Kill
 the Scheme of the Political Trick
 sters.
 There is liable 10 be some very lively times at the town meeting this evening, and it is probable that there will be many sup porters of the charter out in force. The selectmen were seen this morning and had this to say in reference to the meeting:
 Every voter in the city should attend the meeting and oppose copsolidAtion. If there is a majority vote for consolida- tion tonight there is danger ahead. This will be the last town meeting held if a vote is passed tonight to support the new charter. The meeting is called for the purpose of letting everybody express an opinion pro or con. 4 full expression of those in favor and against the proposition is asked. Those who are back of the pro- posed charter are also asked to te there and show their hand and explain what town meeting authorized them to look after the towns business If this charter is forced on the people against their wishes the parties behind it must take the responsibility.
 There is a scheme behind it ail. The town has not been treated fairly in this matter and the voters are only hgure-heads as far as this committee is concerned. As election expenses are now S, ,6O9 per year with four wards. under the new charter they will probably be increased to $7,21S. | making more positions for in- competent heelers at big pay and doubling the opportunities for fraud. and producing only an imaginary theoreti- cal benefit.
 'The salectmen call on every voter to be present tonight and tell this charter com- mittee that they know what they want themselves and then if they railroad the charter through the legislature the mem- bers of the committee can stand on record as opponents of the peoples l wishes"
 In reply to the published statement of a former selectman whose name is not given that the selectmen can without authority spend $100. 900 of the peoples money. Benjamin Sedgwick said to-day:
 l "Under the law the town must make | specific appropriations. That being the case if the selectmen spend enc cent more than the appropriations the town is no liable. and the selectmen may be prose cuted. There duties are clearly defined and this talk of Responsibility is all bosh There has not been an argument made iu favor of consolidation Ithat was fair O 1 reasonable. Who not take the whole au tbority away from the people and let tn, legislature appoint the town and city off cers an d make appropriations? Ina l would be as reasonable and fair as any thing proposed by the self appointed char ter committee.

 For the first six rounds Kilrain did good work and was the aggressor. Then he began to fail
 Seventh Round-In spite of the differ ence in years and less avoirdupoiS in O'Donnoll's favor, up to this timo ho had not shown himself any faster than Kill rain. Thero was some clever sparring in this round, and number of light blows were landed but no damage done. Eighth ROund-The work was too slow to suit the spectators. 0 Donnoll landed three times on Jake's nose, drawing blood. Ninth Round-An was in favor of O'Donnell, he gotting in several good punches, while Kilrain did hut littil work. Tenth and Eleventh Rounds-O'Don nell landed some stiff jabs on Jako's Stom- aoh and face. kilrain appeared to be get | ting tired.
 Twelfth Round-Kilrain reused the | crowd by getting in a couple of punches, | but the round was decidedly in 0 'Dunnell's $ favor.
 Thirteenth ROund-Jake set tho spccta- tors wild by landing several gooi hard ones on Steve's head. He tired himself by his own eXortionS and wont to his corner | rather weary.
 1 Fourteenth Round-O'D Donncll rushed | and jnbbod Jake right and left. Fifteenth Round-Kilrain came up comparatively fresh and game. Tho fight l ing was even and not much damage done Sixteenth Round-O' Donncll rushed. 1 hp all rfNcyN ipH | There was little ;iGvantge to either in this | round.
 Seventeenth and Eighteenth rounds l O'DUnnell kept .ahhing kilrnin with right | and left. kilrIin < nusc and mouth were ] in very bad condition. and his eye was nearly closed. Stili ho fought well aud 1 gamely and was rewarded with cries oi Good boy. Jake" from all over the house. Nineteenth and Twentieth Rounds | O'Dunncll did the leading and landed nearly evory time. kiIrain fought as well as ho was able. but O Donnells superior | condition told he was much the stronger of the two. Jako landed occasionally, but his blows lacked steam.
 During the twentieth round O O'Donnol told kilrain that ho had potter quit tc which tho old timer answered.: Not OF your life! Noverr
 Twenty first Ruund-Aftor fighting minute and Is seconds in this round during which O'Donncll got in scvcra punches Kilrain fell to tho stage through weakness.
 Ho staid down eight seconds. bu when he got on bis feet Referee Hurs stopped tho bout and declared O'Donnel the winner.
