A. on Wednesday evening next the stage of the theater will be laid out as a regular court room with all the accessories and the trial will be conducted in every respect with all the gravity of a supreme court session. The case will be handled on the exact lines of legal procedure, but for all that will be so arranged that the two hours proceedings are likely to furnish the biggest bunch of merriment an audience has bad in a long time. Of course, all hearts will go out' in tearful sympathy for the plaintiff, while as for the defendant, it is enough to say that no one would ever have believed It. The Jury is distinguished enough to rivet the attention of an audience for a whole evening, and are capable of being an entire show themselves. Altogether this mock court trial promises to be one of the events of the season, both in the interest attaching to It and in the crowd that will attend.

TO BE HERE IN MARCH When the Russian Symphony Orchestra of New York plays the single concert which is to be given in

this city in March at the Gennett it

will bo an even better organization

than that which, was heard In this portion of the country during its first trans-continental tour which took place last season. In New York this organization is ranked as one of the

best in the country. But in spite of this fact. Conductor Modest Altschuler ever striving to make his instrument as perfect as possible, has made certain additions to the ranks of his players which has strengthened it as a musical organization. When the season closed last year, the first work which its eminent musical leader undertook was the securing of certain musicians whose services he desired. Several distinguished violinists were obtained to strengthen the orchestral strings; a number of players of wood-wind instruments were invited to join the Russian Symphony Orchesetra and gladly accepted, and finally a few exceptionally fine players upon brass instruments were given contracts to devote their entire time to the concerts of this orchestra. The result was shown early last fall at the first concerts when those who were familiar with the abilities of the Russian Symphony Orchestra declared that it was a more efflcien organization than ever before. The splendid sweep of strings, the mellowness of the brass and woodwinds have already stirred thousands of music lovers this season to outbursts of enthusiasm for these admirable musicians. When they are in this city, with the assistance of four distinguished singers, the concert will be long remembered for the Russian Symphony Orchestra is a great orchestra.

'OF INTEREST TO MUSICIANS Under the starry dome of heaven, on Christmas Eve, Louisa Tetrazzina, the great coloratura soprano, sang In the streets of San Francisco, the city

which "discovered" her, at the Tivoli Opera House in the season 6f 190304. , From a platform erected by the Municipal Board of Works in front of the Chronicle Building and Lotta's Fountain, Tetrizzinl faced a mighty throng that filled Market street for two blocks from the building wall, and extended for a block up Geary street, Kearney street and Third street The number in the multitude was estimated by the morning papers on Christmas Day as 250.000. A more conservative estimate from the space covered would indicate that there were at least 150,000 in the throng, while the windows and even the roofs of the office buildings on either side of the street were occupied by people who looked down on the wonderful Christmas Eve spectacle.

LETTER LIST

Too Publio For Him. ne wan a mild mannered little man. short, with gray hair and spectacles. It was noon ou Washington street and. as usual, the crowds were shoving end pushing to get somewhere. Tho little man was tryiag to worm his way through the crowds. A well dressed woman, accompanied by. a small boy. was mixed up in the crowd. She wanted to cross the street The boy stopjed to look in a window. The lady reached down and grasped a hand, saying. "Take my baud, dear." "Not rlgut-here on the public street" she was startled to hear some one reply. Looking down, she saw that she was clasping the hand of the very Inoffensive little man. who seemed to be much confused and embarrassed. "Sir," she said hanshtily. "I don't want you. I want my son.' Boston Traveler.

FASHION'S FADS AND FANCIES

New York. Jan. 7. The numerous social functions Incidental to the celebration of New Year's day, have been a welcome opportunity for the display of more or less rich and exquisitely beautiful costumes. Many of the costumes, designed by famous fashion creators in Paris, -were extremely beautiful- In fact there were so many charming creations among them, that it would be impossible to give an adequate description of more than a few, picked out at random. One popular hostess received at her home in a charming costume, designed by Beer. It was of striking simplicity. There was nothing to break the beauty of the rich blue velvet tunic in its long, graceful lines form shoulder to knee. The soft, thin velvet was slightly draped on the figure and bands of fur gave to it added dignity and richness. In the moderate decolettage was set white point Duchess lace, which formed a delightful contrast to the velvet and fur. The tunic fell over a skirt of white lace. Another simple gown, worn by a pretty blonde bride at an informal tea. was of rose pink silk mull and wide Valenciennes lace banding. The bodice was made entirely of the lace draped over pink chiffon, and in the tunic skirt were set two rows of the banding one at the knee and the other several inches below. This tunic fell over a slightly trailing skirt of the mull,, and queerly enough the trail was not at the center of the back In the traditional manner of trains, but dragged at one side of the gown. The hostess at another fashionable New Year's function received in a beautiful Paris gown, which embodied a rather unusual feature. This was a sailor collar of hemstitched chiffon. The frock an afternoon rather than an evening model was built of black and white chiffon and black Chantilly lace. Bodice and upper skirt were of white chiffon over white satin, Chantilly motifs bing placed on the under layer of satin. From the hip to the knee there wan additional layer of black chiffon, set In under a Chantilly banding. At the knee still another layer .of black chiffon was made the foot of the frock very dark. The sailor collar of hemstitched black chiffon was broad and deep and, opened in front over a V of gathered white chiffon. There was a girdle and floating sash of black tulle and in the front of this girdle was tucked a Jacqueminot rose, giving the only touch of color in the composition. Calling costumes for the social functions and receptions of this month are built almost exclusively of velvet. This material unquestionably leads the winter fashions as far as street wear is concerned, and' these velvet afternoon costumes are really much alike in general effect. Skirts are straight and narrow, with perehaps a line of fur at the bottom, and the little coats are similarly straight and narrow in outline, but are made delightfully individual by flat trimmings of braid and embroidery and tiny rows of satin-covered buttons.

GETS NO DIAMOND; BALKS AT ALTAR Dayton. O, Jan. 7.- Miss Alice M. Johnson, of Pittsburg, Penn, the Intended bride of Walter J. Ware, a wealthy young business man of this city, refused to participate in the ceremony that bed been scheduled to make her Mr. Ware's bride yesterday afternoon and the wedding was declared off.

Just on the eve of the nuptial ceremony when Miss Johnson began to thiols
