TACOMA THEATER CROWDED
TO DOORS BY AUDIENCE
WHICH ENJOYS DISTINCT
MUSICAL TREAT.

The Tacoma theater was crowd
ed to the doors last evening with
music lovers who had heard much
of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Every one went there with the ex-
pectation of hearing something
good and their expectations were
more than fulfilled. The i'm
mense chorus of $50 voices arose
as one voice of finely blended
tones and great power. No more
artistic and delightful musical
program has been rendered in Ia
coma this season.
A group of soloists assisted the
choir and contributed to make the
evenings entertainment an artistic
success. Owing to severe cold
Mr.. Alfred Best, the tenor soloist,
was unable to appear. j. W.

and charmed the audience. Other

MEMS SPRING STYLES.

Man can revel in colors to his hearts content, the coming season, for the men who make the styles have decided on high colors formen'S Spring and Summer Raiment. In fact, man is scheduled to run wom- ankind close second in the vivid coloring of apparel. The new Spring suits shown by Meigs & Go. of Bridgeport. reflect all the new colOrs and delicate shades of gray, slate, tan, brown, green, olive taupe, and so forth. Stripes of all kinds figure on grounds of contrasting colors. Some of the handsomest suits are in close military stripes in a beautiful black and white effect. The new models retain the medium-length coat with shapely shoulders and long graceful lapels. Melgs & Co.'S clothing, already famous for it's per feet fitting neck and shoulders, still leads in tEis respect, as the new models show. Spring hats, neck wear, shirts and hosiery all reflect the high-color tendencies of the sea- son to a degree that is startling in some instances. Yet there is not false note of color in the entire show ing at Meigs & Co.'S Men of con- seryative tastes will find it easy to select apparel in keeping with their liking, in hats, furnishings and Spring clothing, in the riot of color which dominates the season.

Wall Papers and Paints. Sole Agents John Lucas & Co.'s. Tinted Glass Paints, lS73-l909,

Progress Is continuous, Business
 methods, forms, fashions, modes or
 living and travelling are entirely diff
 ferent from decade ago, and in the
 main show progress in the right di-s
 reetion. Years ago 1t was the cus- tom to grind dry white lead, colors,
 by hand to make our paint; now it is ground far better by powerful ma
 chinery. Today one never hears of
 color-grinding by hand. For the last
 few years the ready for use paint has
 come to the front and while
 lead alone for painters use has
 barely held its own, the sale ofmixed
 paint has increased over 30 per cent
 in the same time. It sounds quite
 primitive, and it is so to attempt the
 mixing of lead, colors, etc., by hand, "by the use of a stick of wood," quite as much so as it would to grind colors by hand. The pig railroads, the big corporations who have large invest ments, are using prepared paint. Uncle Sam's navy, just returned from a trip around the world, was painted wish Lucas paint. Now these cor porations, railroads and the navy are not specifying ready for use paints for sentimental reasons; they want the best they can get, the most for their money kind. Messrs Somers Bros, in the Masonic Temple, at have thrashed out this question of the best paint, and have in their judgment got it in securing the John Lucas Co.'S. Tinted Gloss Paint" a paint fully guaranteed by the maker and Messers Somers Bros. It is not alone mixed paint that the Somers Bros. pride themselves on, it is evident throughout their stocK, as they claim to have the best and most practical line of paints, var nishes, etc, procurable; among them are such houses as follows: Newark Varnish Co.'S. fine architectural var nishes; Hampden Paint and Chemi- cal Co.,, fine bronze and permanent greens, standards for 40 years; John L. Whiting & Sons Co.,, brushes; Murphy Varnisn Co.,, fine coach and colors and Varnishes. In regard to wall paper, they carry the largest stock in the city, and can supply you with most anything right from stock. Their jobbing line is represented by four books, which will be sent to any dealer on appli cation. They also carry special goods, sucll as Carey Bros, The Rob- ert Graves Co.'S, and M. H.

LOSES VALUABLE HORSE,
Runs Away and Breaks a Leg.

Levi c. Morris, the genial propri- etor of the Broadway store, lost his favorite family horse Beauty" Tuesday morning. The horse at tached to a delivery wagon stood near the store. The noise of moving gasolene barrels caused the horse to start on a mad run. It crossed the street to the schoolhouse, then turned and ran to the bank below Mrs Marbles place, where it fell. In falling and rolling over, one leg was caught in a wheel, breaking the leg. When the fact was ascertained Patrick H. Cannon was summoned and the horse was shot. Henry Carlson was thrown out of the wagon when the horse started but was not seriously injured. The horse was raised by MT Morris and was much thought of.
