City At torney Grant said that In bis opinion the city Is liable and the committee on wars and means recommended the or dinance for passage. It was Anally laid over. The Mayor said he did not believe the city should pay It and that bs would never sanction It. An ordinance, repealing an ordinance levying a tax on steam railroads was naased on recommendation of the Judiciary committee. Three roads offered to pay iisvo aacn in run pay ment of claims agsinst them. If the Council would repeal the law and end the trouble. This Is one-half the sum due th city under the ordinance.

Councilman Wallace was grsnted a leave of absence of 10 days at his own request. He Is going out of the city.

DAY KEPT FOR AUTHOH JULIA WARD HOWE'S MEMORY IIOXORED LV CHAPEL. Women of Unitarian Church Dwell on Achievements of Writer of Battle Hynm of Republic. women of th Unitarian Church met yesterday afternoon in their chapel to observe Julia Ward Howe day. The life, public activities and woras of the author of the BatUe Hymn of the Republic were aiscusseo. Mrs. H. C. Holmes' theme gave a sketch of the author's life from the time of her birth, through her girlhood. her marriage and her travels abroad. Mrs. Holmes dwelt particularly on the genial personality of Mrs. Howe, her literary attainments and the enthusiasm which she manifested in equal suffrage, of which she wss the organiser In Kew England, being president of the Now Bngland Woman's Club for 33 years. Miss Mary 9. Barlow spoke of the publlo activities of Mrs. Howe, referring to the author's labors in the field of votes for women ss well ss dwelling on her work as a newspaper woman, when, after her marriage to Dr. Howe, who was S0 years her senior, she contributed to his newspaper, th Commonwealth. Miss Barlow referred . to Mrs. Howe's writings as marvels in accuracy and at the same time delightful to read. She also spoks of Mrs. Howe's interest In women's suffrage, referring to lectures In English and Italian on various techni cal subjects given by the author, who was president of the Boston Art Club and the Clroolo Itallano Society. Mrs. J. H. Thatcher read a paper on the works of Mrs. Howe, dealing par ticularly with the famous Battle Hymn of the Republic as well as touching on her novels and poems, a book of which, "At Sunset," she was arranging at the time of her death. Personal reminiscences of Mrs. Howe were given by Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunl way and Mrs. T. L. Eliot.

The products of many of the finest factories of the coun try are shown, and they are priced at identically the same figures that you would pay for them on the floors of their manufacturers in Eastern cities. (J A high price does not necessarily guarantee the worth of a piano. Many dealers base their prices on the appearance of the instrument, on the elaboration of its case design, depending' on orna mentation to cover the inferior quality of its struc ture and mechanism, and to hide its shortcoming's in tone and action. Pianos of this class find no place in our house. Instead, the prospective pur chaser is shown piano quality as the first consider ation in any and every piano at any and every Erice. Case, action, finish and tone must be of the ighest standard attainable at the price asKed, and that price, quality considered, is lower here than elsewhere on the Pacific Coast. q At $200 to $300 we have a splendid lot of new pianos that are worthy of closest comparison with instruments offered at other houses at $100 higher. Every size and design Is here, finest Mahogany, Walnut, and the new SticKley OaK cases are shown in numbers that give the broadest opportunity for selection. They are g'ood pianos, fully guaranteed, and may be purchased on the most convenient monthly payments. You owe it to -yourself and to your pocKetbook to see them before buying.

Miss Verna Smith accompanied Mrs. Henry Berger, Jr., who sang a lullaby by Coombs and a gondolier song. Refreshments served by the women of the alliance closed the exercises. .
