Honiton and MORE pillows.

White and colored MORE silks are
beautiful for pillows when worked in
the new fashion with white embroid-
cry silk and honiton braids. A pale
green one, worked in white and fin
ished with q white silk cord, is dainty
and useful. These combinations are
rare in pillows nowadays.

A TAXPAYERS LETTER.
Some Questions Asked and Some Com
illusions DrRwns


clusions Drawn.
We have received the following letter
from st. Johnsbury taxpayer which we
publish without further comment:
Editor CALIFORNIAN:
/ am too busy to take much part in
politics, and am no politician anyway.
but want to ask the voters of this
town few pertinent questions and they
| can answer them next Tuesday.
have always paid my tax in full and
always will, and am willing to pay my
share for municipal improvements, but is
it not high time to call halt on the ex-
travagance of our officers and have a
little business management injected into
several boards.
Why, for instance, is our Town Hall
rented for the paltry sum of $50 when it
is worth $4OO year to any merchant.
+ If it is to be turned into a carriage re-
pository why not get fair return for
tfor it ? The man that can get his rent
for about dollar a week can we'll afford
to pose as the laboring mans candidate
and tell them how to vote
Look again at the granite abutments
at the new bridge at st. Johnsbury Cen
tire and Paddock Village. They are built
of Hardwick granite II feet deep, while
railroad bridges are only faced with one
stone deep and locked with backing.
Does St. Joonsbury need more expensive
bridges than the Boston and Maine rail-
road?
How do voters like to help pay for
moving poles of the Citizens Telephone
Company to satisfy the whims OF Sc
lectman who is trying by legal process
to bankrupt the company? Have the
voters forgotten that the Citizens Com
C%< .c ~
own people, reduced the rates 662s per
cent of the great monopoly whose capi-
tai stock is millions of dollars.
With our town farm splendidly
equipped and everything in frstclass
shape, why should the town poor be
boarded away from the town house
when they could be boarded there at Sc
| a mouth.
| How do the voters like to pay thou
sands of dollars for electric lights and
| support company that is opposed to
competition or an electric railroad? Why
not go back to the dim, religious light of
| a candle or kerosene before we are driven
| into bankruptcy?
do not blame the town officials for
| this extravaganza which has increased
! in the past three years while our grand
| list has remained stationary. The peo-
| pie are to blame. They are the ones who
| can control by their ballots and, for
| heavens sake, why not support the citi-
zen's ticket next Tuesday and have
| things as they should be.
The burden of taxation, $3.50 on a
| thousand, falls heaviest on the laboring
man and poll taxpayer. He has to pay
more for the house he rents, the board
| he gets, the clothes and provisions he
buys, for the landlord and the merchant
are obliged to charge him more because
| heavy taxation.
Why not all work together for more
economy in our municipal affairs, sup
port the citizens ticket and stand up for
our rights. TAXPAYER.

A rich musical treat is assured all who
are at Music Hall Friday evening when
the Boston Ladies Orchestra give their
concert. There are 20 ladies in this
troupe and all are talented musicians,
while the six soloists perform their diff
cult parts with the precision and grace
of veteran band players. The committee
have received many fattering endorse
ments of this company as a result OF
their tour of ITS concerts last season
and we present one:
The young ladies are under the
leadership of Mr.. Frank w. Mckee, and
bis direction indicated the power of the
skilled orchestra leader. The instruments
responded to the slightest motion of his
baton and he had all instruments under
perfect control at all times. The ladies
played with vim and spirit seen in the
work of very few male orchestras. There
was volume and power when music so
required.-[C Springs Gazette.
The tickets are 35, so and Is cents and
may be obtained at Bingham's drug
store-or the door.
