STRING QUARTETTE GIVES
LAST CONCERT OF SEASON

The last concert OF the season OF
the Detroit String quartet was given
Thursday evening. in Temple Beth Ell
and proved one of the most pleasing
Of the whole series. The members OF
this organization. Mile Elsa Ruegger
Edmond Lichtenstein Alexander Levy
and Hans Weissmann have been play
ing together nearly a year, and the
result is evidenced in more finished
playing and more perfect ensemble
The idea which the organizers OF the
quartet had in mind, to make this a
civic society par excellence, is appar-
emily being carried out and the quar-
tet will have the opportunity another
year to remedy any defects which may
have been found since the members
have been playing together.
The quartet numbers Thursday even.

discovery above that city OF Il strange
moving light, apparently the search
light of a dirgible air craft, tonight
brought stories from many points of
the observance of similar lights this
evening from villages east of Worces-

People in the towns of Marlboro,
South birmingham, Natick Ashland,

throngs tonight to view mysterious
lights in the heavens.
Many declared that the light had all
the appearances of a strong search

framework behind it such as an aero
plane would have they were positive
that the light could not be that of a
balloon, as it moved as if under con-

figure is just double tho price Of cotton
early in the year-a total increase Of 800
points. While May option at 1901 today
was the only cotton Of the list to reach
the 16-cent quotation, the entire list ad-
vanced slightly and still holds higher

New York. Dec. CIV. Gould Bro
kaw. whose wife is suing him for sep
aration with alimony of 100000 year
took the stand in his own defence to-
dav and swore in the court room at
Mineoa. l.. l., that his father-in-law
Joseph A. Blair, threatened to kill him
because he loved her too much. When
he told Mrs. Brokaw of this threat she
laughed and said:
Don't mind father, Billy; he's
crazy"
Mr.. Brokaw described the night
when his wife took poison. His law
yer led him carefully over the two
years of their married life, with PAINS
taking attention to the charges OF
drunkenness, cruelty and ABUSIVE
language brought against him in the
testimony of his wife.
Brokaw made a good witness. HIS
attitude was easy and his answers
were ready and firm. Occasionally he
peered daintily through lorgnette in
examining papers submitted to him.
Mrs. Brokaw was ashy pale and muf-
fled in furs. She tossed her head
scornfulIy when her husbands testi-
rnony contradicted her own and she
coughed constantly with a nervous lit
tie hack. A widows heavy black veil
fell from her fur hat over the upper
half of her pale forehead.

7 was drunk" he testified, my face
was flushed from a long walk or drive"
Il never struck anyone in my life,''
he swore. Mrs. Brokaw knows :, ]

a night when 1 could get into her

Il never lock the doors Of my houses.
1 never carry guns or revolvers," he
continued.
He admitted that he called his wife
a liar. yes" he said. Il called her a
liar, but not until she had called me

wife to make eyes at Jimmy Martin %

questions. Il did not" was the invari-
able answer.
Afirmatively, however, there was
more variety in the testimony. Brokaw
swore that his wife smoked cigarettes
before their marriage and that she
