The Angelus produces any oi these five effects: A piano play- ing alone: an orchestral organ playing alone; a piano with a violin effect: a piano with a flute effect; a piano and full or- chestral organ combined, all at the same time.

Lamb Doty Ar- | 5 & | rives on Australia and \ Is Enthusiastic. | —_— l J. Lamb Doty, Consul of the United | States in Tahiti, arrived yesterday on the | Australia and is stopping at the Occi- dental Hotel. When seen last night he was enthusiastic over the prospec:s of the island now there was regular connection with San Francisco by a line of steamers. Doty has been a resident of Tahiti for the last twelve vears. He has this to say about the islands: “Business will now boom in Tahiti for several reasons. The merchants down there will be able to order goods in San Francisco and receive them in thirty days, while in the past all these goods had to be brought in sailing packets. We shall be able to ship up fruit to San‘Francisco which will be & new industry for us. We made the anemgz to send fruit about ten years ago_by the packets but it was a failure. It is very evident.what a big thing this fruit industry will be for us when you know that when the Australia arrived in rt to-day she brought the largest consignment of fruit ever brought to this city. Most of it consisted of pine- apples. “The natives down in Tahit| are en- ightened. This is due to the splendid educational opportunities offered them by the French Government, which owns the islands. They are all a hap]pg, prosperous people. I am sure that with this line of | steamships all tourists from the East vest will visit Tahiti. “We hope to build a bicycle track around the island from Papeete that will be 120 miles long. When it is completed it can be safely said that it will be a | 100-mile_ride in paradise. For anybody who is fond of studying native life Tahitl 1 1s the place to visit.

The man fought with her for some time and finally wrenched him- self free and escaped from the room. Rushing down the stairs, the burglar tried a door leading to the sidewalk and ind- ing it locked smashed a giass light and made his_exit. As the burglar climbed into the street he explained to pedestrians that a mad dog was in the house and he walked leis- urely away, but Mrs. Bodaire arrived on CRITICIIES His MOTHER-IN-LAW Tacoma Man Files a Unique Cross Complaint in Divorcé Suit. e Spectal Dispatch to The Call TACOMA, Jan. 2.—Judge Carroll to-day denied the motion of Mrs. W. H. Bran- scheld to have stricken from her hus- band's cross complaint for divorce some incisive and uncomplimentary remarks regarding her mother, Mrs. Eliza F. King, a wealthy S8an Francisco woman. The defendant’'s cross complaint, to which objection was made by Mrs. Bran- scheid, is one of the most noyel docu- ments on record in the court. t abounds in keen and sarcastic paragraphs and the conventional legal verblage is discarded to make the allusion to his wite’s mother, Mrs. Eliza King, the more cultln{i Mrs. Branscheid, he says, is under the com- plete domination of her mother. “Herself a widow and divorcee, having very wrongful, peculiar, improper and extraordinary notions of and concerning marital relations, husbands, wives, do- mestic economy, the bearing of children, the use of intoxicants, narcotics and other drugs; morals, religion, pecuniary obliga- tions and the male sex in general.” That is how he describes the mother-in- law. She is, he says, possessed of $50,- 000 or $60,000 in her own right and besides has expectancies of large wealth by rea- son of being the daughter of Robert R. Thompson of San Francisco, who is said to be worth several million dollars. It is through fear that she will be dis- inherited by her mother, he alleges, that his wife has been induced to bring her suit for divorce. Branscheld complains further that several weeks agu his mother-in-law called with an express wagon at the place where he 1s rooming, during his absence at the store, and de- manded his furniture, but his landlady re- fused to give it up and notified him. He immediately went home, taking a police- man along, and ordered her to leave the premises under threat of arrest. Bran- scheid is a hardware dealer here, Most everyone who has whiskey for sale compares its virtues to Jesse Moore ‘AA’ ‘whiskey. ——— G e— In the game of life many a trick is taken with the trump of fame.

On Dupont street he | mounted a milk wagon and gathering up | the reins drove hastily away. The three | officers succeeded in overhauling him and placing him under arrest. At the City Prison the man gave the name of Joseph Brooks, which the police telleve to be an alias.” He had two re- volvers fully loaded in his pockets and a ]quumny of stolen property of small value. FRST FUNCTION OF NEW YeRR Opening of the Social Season at Washing- ton, D. C. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—The soclal sea- son of the new year at the White House was opened to-night when the President and Mrs. McKinley gave a dinner in honor of the Cabinet members and their ladies. Thla table was in the shape of a double “I'" in the state dining-room. The pre- vailing decorations were begonias and pinks with ferns.
