A riot was caused among the super
stitious inhabitants of Boulac, suburb
of Cairo, the other day by a strange
light which played for time on the red
glass window Of new Greek church.
The news was spread that Sheikh Nit
bOuly. a famous holy man, who is buried
near the site of the church, had come out
of his tomb and ordered the church to be
destroyed. A crowd collected and tried
to execute the sheilkh's order, but the
police dispersed it.
Early the next morning the crowd as
sembled again in greater force but was
met by strong detachment of police on
foot and mounted. Some sharp fighting
followed. in which one officer of police
and a number of men were wounded.

Organization Is Formed.

In consequence, an association has
been founded i'm Berlin for this purpose.
After completing the necessary prelim-
mary work the organization will be in
active operation at the beginning of the
New Year. The association has the title
of the German Newspaper Archives. 1t
intends to preserve and classify cuttings
of everything that may appear in the
German press that may have more than
momentary interest. SO that the collection
shall be of assistance both to those who
are seeking for isolated items of infor-
nation and for those who intend to write
partial or specialized history of the
time.
In the beginning it is intended to make
a speciality of financial. industrial and
labor questions and social economics. but
it is hoped that the scope of the organiza-
ton may be greatly enlarged within a
year, and the organizers hope that ulti-
mately the usefulness of their under
taking may be made so apparent that
they will be able to make a successful
application to the state for financial
support.

How an Angelus Player-Piano
Saved One Thanksgiving Day.
1t May Save Yours-This Week.
1t May Save YOurS-ThiS

~ NE HUNDRED MILLION
NMV Americans will give thanks
~ three days hence for the
bounteous gifts of Nature in
the form of record crops, the peace
that permits us to progress, the promise
of greater prosperity.
One hundred million men, women
and children will give thanks for
families to be reunited, old ties more
firmly bound, old loves renewed.
There can be no real Thanksgiving
without music. And on such occasions
there is no music like the old songs
that were sung in the home before the
young folks left, to found new homes.
Two years ago a certain family
circle sat in old-time completeness
around the Thanksgiving table.
Some one suggested a song. An
other started it, but couldn't keep the
key. The sentiment saved it. Several
subsequent attempts had similar
ending.
Last year it was different. The
evening was memorable one.
A PLAYER-PIANO
Had joined the family circle.
AN ANGELUS PLAYER-PIANO
The First and Best of Them All.
With the Angelus came all the old
songs, recorded on Artistyle rolls by
artists who gave to them their proper
need of expression and harmony.
A girl in her teens who could not
play them herself rendered them as
perfectly as any master of the piano.
And the happy group had such an
evening of music as they had never
before known

Are you looking forward to such
an evening? You may have it.
The mission of the Frederick
Piano establishment is to make other
people happy by putting the best
music into as many homes as possible.
To make it EASY for any home to
have the best music.
To do this it has assembled in its
handsome G street home the finest as
sortment of Player-pianos to be found
anywhere in the land The An
GELUS heads the list.
The ANGELUS was the first
player.
1t has been widely initiated, but
never equaled.
The distinctive features that give
it superiority are all covered by
patents.
The AUTOTONE, a production
of the famous Hardman house, and
the choice of Caruso, Tetrazzini and
scores of other celebrated musicians.
The PRICE AND TEEPLE. the
HEYSER and many others of note.
The FREDERICK CHRIST

advantage just now in the way of re-
duced prices and cash bonus.
Your choice may be in your home
tomorrow, if you wish-with only a
small first payment.
Will you let us show you how
tomorrow?
