Rudolf Larsen, the violinist, and Mons. Joseph Saucier, the noted French-Canadian singer, will be the soloists. Johnson's Wood Dyes and Finishes "The Prince of Pllen, Coming to The Strong Next Monday Night. Since Henry W. Savage withdrew "The Prince of Pilsen" from public view in thrs country, about five years sg-o, he has been besreged by theatrical managers with all sorts of offers for 'the American rights of the tuneful musical comedy, which placed its authors.

Prank Pixley and Gus Lu-ders, in the forefront of American libretti and composers, and which attained the biggest success in the history of native light musical One manager offered to produce "The Prince of Pilsen," pay all expenses, stand any possible loss and give Mr. Savage one-half of the ne-t profits. Another offered twenty per cent, of his gross receipts under like conditions. To every proposal Mr. Savage listened and then shook his head negatively.

Finally an extremely speculative manager offered eighty per cent. of the net profits and again Mr. Savage his head. "What do you want?" asked the GRICE CASE NEARING END. S.

GREENE COMPANY COXKOVS BIILLINKRY SHOP, 179 The most exquisite things have been planned for the new Spring Gowns color, form, materials, everything in perfect harmony, and as truly perfect as the ancient tapestries, which were their inspiration. Beads are most important In the trimmings for Spring.

They are of many sorts and used in many ways. The Persian effects of last season are to be followed this season by color schemes, undoubtedly taken from the Indians of America such color schemes as you will find in the basketry and pottery of the Indian tribes of Arizona and Mexico. These Indian effects are not only to be seen in the color, but even in the form3 in which the beads and other details of the trimmings are arranged. Black and white is to be in high favor, as well as the rich and mellow color tones. Coral and emerald green are two of the most distinctive colors of the new season, and coral beads are much used.

The silk embroidered trimmings are as superb in effect as anything that ever came from abroad. They range from narrow to very wide bandings, and these wide bands, both the bead and embroidered effects, will be much used as a garniture for the new skirts, being placed just below the knee. It should be remembered that these trimmings are exclusive here, and the advantage of our importing them from abroad is reflected in the very low prices. Irridiscent and porcelain bead bands in all widths. Gold, silver, jet, Indian bead and pearl ornaments in the most charming effects.

Fringes, bands, drops and tassels to match. Embroidered silk bands in all plain colors and two-toned effects. Wide silk braids, plain and fancy, that are exceedingly smart on this season's tailored suits. Allover laces in gold, silver, jet and spangled effects, others silk embroidered, Irish crochet, Venice and Oriental designs, also tr.cked nets and chiffons. It's a wonderfully broad display, much admired by "dressmakers" whose judgment of what is correct, and in good form, we value very much.

Again yesterday federal court was entirely taken up with the case of Elwin H.

The school will probably be closed on to be put out for merchants' week, to be held May 1-6. It was decided to use newspapers to a large extent, in addition to an eight-page herald, all setting forth the advantages of Burlington as a retail commercial center.

After a thorough discussion It was voted to place the publicity matter entirely In the hands of M. C. Reynolds of the Reynolds-Fishier Advertising Service. With thorough, energetic work, there Is every reason to believe that merchants' week will mark further advances for the city. There will be interesting attractions that week, prominent cf which will be Vermont's first automobile show.

Seeds and Fertilizers ened the production, cheapened everything and although it was stipulated in the contract that Mr. Savage's name should be In nowise rden-tifled with the venture, the well-known manager was by inference continually associated with the conduct of this project.

He decided, therefore, to revrve "The Prince of Pilsen' under Ms own direction with the same careful attention to cast, musreal interpretation and detail production that marked his original presentation of the melodious musical comedy at the Broadway Theatre, New Tork, about eight years ago. For the forthcoming engagement of "The Prince of Pilsen" at The Strortg Monday afternoon and night Mr. Savage has assembled a cast, selected from the companies that hitherto played the piece daring its tours throurh America and England.
