Before a disappointingly small,
but nevertheless demonstrative
audience, Nine. Luisa Tetrazzini,
the most famous of all operate So

theater last night in concert that
surpassed any event of similar ma
ture presented here this season.
In contrast to the packed houses
that have greeted the diva at 9TH

the high prices went away feeling
that they had received their
moneys worth. The work of let

Inflexibility of voice and in col

makes the fruit more juicy, but
loosens the pulp and gives it far
better flavor.
A convenient broom holder IS

of cloth a little larger than will
cover the brush of the broom.
Put a hem an inch wide in each

to have a broom cover is to lay

"Trunk Mystery" Tonight.

The obominable acumen of the
Chinese, as met at every turn by
the New York police department,
in their attempt at suppression of
the many heinous plots of these
people is plainly eXemplified in

which makes its first appearance
at the Tacoma tonight.
Each Tong has its fighting men
and in shielding them from the

1.-THE SQuaw Man.

"The Squaw Man." which comes
to the Tacoma Saturday, is, with
out doubt, the best play Edwin
Milton Royle ever wrote. The
story is interesting throughout the
entire four acts and there is not
moment, from the rise to the
fall of the curtain, when the in
terest of the spectator flags. The
characters are all taken from life
and are a correct portrayal of the
people who go to make up the
inhabitants of Utah.

classes, according to the amount of
their taxable property or income. The
Roman census was burdened with
more statistics than any of these. how
ever 1t had its origin under :Servius
Julius. sixth king of Rome. and was
an affair of much solemnity. Every
citizen had TO appear upon the Campus
Martius and declare upon oath his
name and dwelling and the value of
his property under the penalty of hav-
ing his goods cOnfiScated.
The most ancient statistical record
of a census is found in the Bible. The
census was taken by Moses in the
