WAS MUSICAL TREAT

The concert by I'VE Old Folks
Choir and Concert company" at the
Congregational vestry last evening
was a musical treat to the audience,
which made up in enthusiasm what It
lacked in numbers. II was unfortu-
nate that there was so little time to
advertise these pleasing artists, as
they would have been greeted by a
much larger gathering had II been
possible to announce their coming ear
lier.
They are a group of singers sure to
please, for they have selections to
suit all tastes, ranging from classic
songs, arias and ensemble numbers
which they give in their opening con-
cert, TO the sweet melodies Of "Ye
Olden Times" presented in appropri-
tie costume and in an intimate,
homely fashion that appeals to the
hearts of all Their voices are we'll
balanced and pure in tone, and they
sing with true musicianly spirit.
Miss Ruth Dorothy Garland, reader
and accompanist. was charming in

we're varied in character and given
with a delicate intuitiveness which
was particularly pleasing in her pc
trayal of child life.

monious agreement on tho terms of

20 the War Revenue bill that Will
provide for increased taxes on beer
and whisky. The provisions for taxes
on gasoline ana horse power OF auto
mobile were rejected by the caucus,
while the provision for tax on
bank stock was changed so as to re-
duce the amount of the tax.
The additional tax on beer will in
crease the estimated amount oil rev
enue from this source BY $1,000, 900.
While an additional S5,O0O,0OO will be
obtained from a tax on rectihed
spirits. The rejection of the amend
ment proposing to tax gasoline and

will amount to a loss of 81 100000.
After considerable debate it was
decided to retain the House provision
