nature nor the source of your petitions
was understood by many of the sign
ers Is evident from the fact that since
we have been interviewing them more
than one-half have already withdrawn
from your petition and have united
with us, making total Of over Y per
cent of the total frontage along the
Sutter street system now protesting
against the overhead trolley.
NEITHER TROLLEY NOR CABLE.
We have always insisted that you
should Immediately improve your Sut-
ter-street system, and you have even
acknowledged that 1t Is in such a di-
lapidated condition that 1t can last but
a very short time longer. In order that
you may get the full benefit Of the
economic advantages OF it's reconstruc-
ton during the life OF your franchise
you admitted that the change should
be made Immediately; and the only
point Of difference between us is as 10
the character of the change. We do
continue to protest against both over
head trolley and cable, and contend
that the large receipts OF your COM
pany from the Sutter-street system
will warrant you In installing the con-
duit system. in addition to which is

BOlantes

Bolante is the native word
for a richly founced dress pat
tern which combines the mate
rials itself and the requisite
trimmings.
The Bolantes generally are
composed Of Pima cloth, pine
apple gauze and Jusi cloth
matched with care and taste.
The Bolante is the extrava-
CANT ball costume of the ma
tive Philippine women of the
better classes, but any OF our
American women who possess
sufficient individuality in dress
ing to depart from the conven-
tional may find what Paris IL
self does not always furnish in
softness, coloring, combina-
ton and grace. This part Of
the exhibit is very interesting.

Leaving Choice to Public
HOLLAND GIVES ANSWER

The following letters have been ex-
changed between Arthur Holland, pres
ident of the United Railroads. and the
Sutter-street Improvement Club re-
garding the installation of an electric
conduit railroad on Sutter street in lieu
of the present cable road:
Sutter-Street Improvement Club and
r. Spreckels, San Francisco:
Dear Sirs: Referring to the inter-
view with you on April 6, we then
stated that we would write you within
a month from that time.
We had stated that we could not re-.
construct the line. or any part of 1t, for
underground conduit operation, and in
view of that statement you stated that
the question remained whether the sys-
tenn, in whole or IN part, should be ope-
rated by cable or overhead trolley.
We stated that we expected to ope-
rate the Pacific-avenue line by means
of a cable, and in this you acquiesced.
You suggested that the choice between
operation by overhead trolley or cable
be left to the owners of property along
Sutter street and along the Polk and
Larkin cross-town line. We replied
that we would interview you with re-
gard to this within a month, adding
that we must consider, among other
things. the interests Of those who live
beyond the termini of these lines. such
as the residents of the Richmond and
other districts.
QUESTION AS TO SIGNATURES.
It is to be remarked that we have In
our office signatures to petitions in IA
vor of overhead trolley covering a ma
torfty both In number and in front feet
of property owners on Sutter street and
| the crosstown line, but to what extent
| these owners have signed your petition
| as well as those which reached us we
| cannot say.
1t Ia further to be remarked that the
| petitions circulated by you merely
asked whether or no the owners were
| against or In favor Of the erection Of
overhead wires, and did not confine the
issue to the choice between cable and
! the construction Of overhead trolley.
! II is also to be remarked that since
our interview on April S we understand
that your club has protested against
either of these two methods OF con-
| struction.
| Under these circumstances we have
concluded to make a public statement
| of our position and shall wait upon you

With fulsome assurance from Judge
Cabaniss that the blind goddess in No.
was opaqueiy bandaged and infiu-
enced solely by the testimony adduced
and the provisions OF the Penal Code,
Mr Ebert narrated his grievance.

his attention was monopolized by the

Schneider. at an adjoining table, at
tracted il by loudly complaining to the
proprietor OF the cafe anent the OBJ
jectionable quality Of some OF the
patrons there being served There was
no getting away from cognizance OF
the fact that the complaint especially
referred TO Nr. Ebert, for Mr.. Sehnei-
der's illusions were sharply pointed at
that gentleman's nationality. Mr..
Ebert, after satisfying himself that
he was the target for Mr.. Schneider's
=disparaging arraignment, turned his
head and uttered mild remonstrance,
10 which Mr.. Schneider retorted by
shifting Mr. Ebert's nose with his fist
'Und he drawed der claret," added
Mr.. Ebert.
Mr. Schneider's plea was that Of
provocation that no self-respecting
person could Withstand. He had trou-
bic with another man before 1 tackled
him" said Mr. Schneider. "and his
table manners were so bad that I
couldn't help handing him a bit of my
mind"
But he alleges that you handed him
q bit OF your fist also" remarked the
Judge. The question is. Did you strike
han?"
well, said Mr.. Schneider, reflective
". II may have hit him, but I didn't
strike him"
would you prefer an Immediate
sentence Of forty-eight hours impris-
onment TO q continuance until Mon

Schneider.

just Cloth
pronounced yvhoo-see)

The Jusi is the great fiber
cloth for which the islands are
famous. 1t is as sheer as
mousseline, yet so distinctly
Oriental in its conception that
no European or American fab
ric can be used in comparison
for conveying an idea of what
the cloth is like. To be under
stood and appreciated the Jusi
cloth must be seen in all its
beautiful colorings of mauve,
green, reseda, pink, blue. pur-
pie, violet, lavender, red, yell
low and a score of other
shades. The colors as a rule
are worked out in silk stripes
and figures on white or cream
grounds.
The Jusi cloth is a very
strong and durable fabric,
which will not tear or muss.
1t is sold in dress patterns Of
20 yards to a piece. The great
variety of colorings will en-
able the dressmaker or clever
woman Of the household to dis
play all of her creative genius
In producing a dress of distinc-
ton and beauty.
The Jusi cloth is also made
into sashes of Oriental color
ings.
The display will surely be
revelation to every one who
did not see the exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.

Siinan1ay
Cloth

The Sinamay is also a fiber
cloth of beautiful texture, but
wiry and not so fine as the Pima
or Jusi cloth. It's colorings
and designs make the cloth
particularly adapted for fine
costumes to be worn at
masked balls, on the stage, in
private theatricals or any place
where a costume with tinsel
would be appropriate.
The Sinamay cloth is also
suitable for table, mantel or
furniture draperies. The in
genious housewife can put the
cloth to several uses which
will beautify her home.
The San Francisco call., 1905-05-07
Pima Cloth
Pronounced Peenya)

Pima cloth is made from the
fiber of pineapple and has most
peculiar qualities. 1t is as soft
and lustrous as chiffon, but 10
as durable as linen. Owing to
the soft nature of the fabric It
drapes most beautifully when
used in dresses. 1t also lauri-
ders perfectly.
The natives find several uses
for the Pima cloth, as is shown
below in the many articles we
shall have on display.
The embroidered handker-
chiefs, doilies, centerpieces,
nedallions and table covers
are beautiful in their exquisite
workmanship. These will make
ideal gifts to people of
taste and culture and win be
appreciated as much as real
laces.
The embroidered Pima waist
patterns and trimmings are ex-
quisite and will at once appeal
to women who are planning
summer or evening dresses.
The moderate prices of these
patterns make them easily af-
forded. Embroidered batiste,
linen and linen lawn do not ap-
proach Pima waist material in
beauty or quality.
In the collection are also bo-
leros, berthas, collar and cuff
sets wonderfully executed and
hand embroidered. Many
other articles of interest will
be found in the display.
