For a quarter Of a century this Firm has been
recognized as the representative house in the United
States for the finer grades of handmade Curtains. AS
manufacturers they were always improving their pro-
auctions, always trying to excel, and always endeavor-
ing to reach the highest perfection a%ttainable in the
designing and general excellence of their goods.
Owing to the enormous growth of their import bust
ness they have been forced to discontinue carrying
stock in America, and will hereafter confne them
selves exclusively to orders from samples.
AS we are selling their stock on the same low basis at
which we purchased it, this grand opportunity to supply your
Curtain requirements speaks for itself. The prices are away
below landing cost at even the old tariff .Tates, which have
been considerably increased under the new Dingley law.
When New Curtains of superior quality can be purchased
at such very low prices. 1t would almost seem a waste
of money to pay for the cleaning and repairing of old ones.
Offering, it is impossible to quote individual items. We can
only mention the several lines and the starting price of each

THE SMALLEY COMPANY.
Concert at the Congrega-
tiOnal Church.

At the Congregational Church this
evening will be given the first of the
course of entertainments arranged by
the Young Mems Christian Association
for the purpose of raising funds to wipe
out the remainder of it's debt. On this
occasion the attraction will be the
Smalley Concert Company.
The Stockton Church Review" says
of the company:
THE first entertainment in the as
ISOLATION star course was given at the
Yosemite Theater last Friday evening
and proved decided success. The
Smalley Grand Concert Company was
the attraction. The singers captured
the audience from the first number, and
held its closest sympathy to the very
last. Indeed, the audience hesitated to
leave the house; they could not get
enough of the sweet singing, or of the
clever recitations of Miss Maud Caruth-
ers Many of the lovers of good music
have occasion to blame themselves in
confounding this company with many
cheap ones travelling over the country
Their voices are naturally good, but they
all show careful cultivation and remark
able skill in execution. Esther May
Plumb's solo "A Midsummer Lullaby"
(McDowelD and Der Schmied"
tBrahms) was excellently rendered. Miss
Perrine's solo showed that she had a
beautiful natural soprano voice. care
fully trained and under perfect control
The favorite with the audience from the
opening of the concert and this without
discourteSy to her associates, was Ger
trude SDrague, who possesses a really
wonderful voice. 1t is a deep alto, true
to her slightest demands, and resonant
and thrilling as the deep, sweet tones of
an organ. She was called out time and
time again, to which she responded and
her numbers alone were we'll worth the
price of admission. They would play a
successful return engagement, as all
who were present have spoken in the
highest terms of praise of the enter
tainment.'

noted impersonator, will appear and on

THEY DENY IT.
Fishermen Say 1t Must Have Been
Parties From Elsewhere.

The persons who live in scows along
the river front above the Pioneer Mill
feel deeply aggrieved at the statements
made before the Board of Trustees at
the Monday night meeting, that drunk
en- fishermen live there.
They say that of those who live on
the seven scows there, five work in the
railroad shops, one is laboring man
who belongs to the Third street Mission
and the remaining one is fisherman
who never drinks drop Of liquor, as
indeed, at least four of the others do
not. There are two other fishermen,
who live in houses inside of the 1evee,
one of whom owns his own house and
they are both sober men, and do not
drink. They say if there are any
drunken fishermen who bother the peo-
pie who complained, that they came
from somewhere else.
