Roncovierl’s Concert Band to Play at the Stations on the Way. fiThe Half-million Club and the citizens’ ittee of San Francisco have inaugn- a movement that will redound to the antage of the commonwealth 1d the good influences of 1 be more heartily appreciated as in the future. It may here be incidentally observed that the broad | club have not yet been fn?ly outlined, for ‘ the scheme has developed into one of far | greater importance than was at first de- | signed, and the promotion committee will | soon give to the press an explication of their matured plans, The excursion to Los Angeles, which leaves on Monday next, will tie first prac- tical results of the club’s endeavors. i The people of the interior will be treated to some glimpses of San Francisco.

Then the whole people of California may realize what a magnificent country they have cast their Jotin, and, filled with a pardonable state of pride, re- solve to work for California on the wise basis that whatever benefits a part of the State benefits the whole State and what- ever a.ds the whole of the State aids every individual in it. ; It was the Santa Rosa festival, then, that gave rise to the suggestion'®f bringing the different parts of the State into closer union in such a pleasant manner. The Hali- auillion Club sees in this excursion pisin the introductory steps to great possibilities Concert band will accompany the Fiesta train and play for a half hour atevery | halting-point. And that train, it is prom- I ised, will be the finest and fastest that ever ran between this city and Los Angeles. At the door of the City of Angels the ex- | cursionists will ‘be received by the Fiesta | Committee and accorded the privileges of | the city. i . . The city of Cloverdale has extended an invitation to the excuf§ionists to make that point one of the stopping places, and the people of that thriving place prqmise to do their utmost to make the stay of the visitors one of pleasure, as well as profit, in | the way of bringing a knowledge of that | prolific” locality to the people of other parts of the State. In the published itinerary, the time of departure of the urposes of the | to any number of at ive places in addi- tion to those specially mentioned. Then the stop-over visits on the journey southbound excursion train is’ said to be “5p. M.” of Monday, the 15th. The pro- motion committee “yesterday changed the time to 3 P. M. of that day in order that Roncovieri's band may permitted to make connections on their special trip to Santa Barbara. WILL ILLUMINE THE BAY. The Half-Million Club Will Use Pyrotechuios on May First. A special committee, consisting of Tras- tees R. P. Doolan, E. A. Denike and Will Fisher of the Mechanics’ Institute, waited on the promotion committee of the Half- million Club at their rooms in the Mills building yesterday afternoon, ana asked for the club’s co-operation tending to the success of the mechanics’ fair, which will open on August 13, and continue for a period of five weeks. Chairman W. M. Bunker called upon M. Doolan to address the committee on the matter in hand, and that gentleman said it was desired by the Mechanics’ Fair Asso- ciation that the Hali-million Club should appoint a committee of three to meet with committees from the several mercantile bodies of S8an Francisco, to the end that the coming fair may be given practically under the auspices of the citizens of this city. “We want something different from the usual run at the fair in August,” continued Mr. Doolan. *“We want something better than mere advertising displays. We want manufactures —something in motion — something to attract people from the inte- rior as well as to interest those at home. ‘We wish to call attention to the fact that all the money made at the fair simply fioes to the maintenance of the institute. n order to induce more general attend- ance, we have adopted reduced rates of ad- mission—25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children in the daytime, and 50 cents and 25 cents at night. Season tickets are $2 50 for members and $5 for outsiders— the $5 ticket giving the holder the benefit of three months’ library dues in addition to the fair privileges.” Hugh Craig observed that the Half- million Club was not a money-making organization. Its object was to advance the common interests of the city and the State. ‘‘Asa popular thing why can’t you ut your admission price down to 25 cents or both day and night?”* he inquired. ‘We will be thankful to your club for suggestions,” rephed Mr. Doolan. *As I understand it,” said Mr. Bunker, “the various mercantile societies, by their committees acting in unison, are expected to hold this fair under their suspices ?”’ Mr. Doolan replied in the aflirmative and said that his committee had called first on the Half-million Club to obtain the benefit of its prestige to begin with. The meetinfi of the various committees would not be called, however, until some time in the early part of May. H. P. Sonntag of the promotion com- mittee wanted to know if it was expected that the Half-million Club should send out three of its:members to work for weeks in the management of the affairs of the institute, which would be the sole bene- ficiary of the work in a financial way. He didn’t think it was in the club’s province. ““I think we arein fayor of any enterprise that materially benefits S8an Francisco,” said Cbairman Bunker. “I don’t think we would imperil our integrity by giving the assistance thus desirctf ofy us. Our scope is wide, and I freely commit myself in favor of the plan proposed by the visit- ing committee. What the institute wants mainly here is the moral prestige we can lend and the suggestions we may be able to give.” This satisfied Mr. Sonntag and the bal- ance of the promotion committee. It was finally resolved to give the plan of co-oporation in question the committee’s hearty support and to recommend the ap- pointz.ent of the proposed committee to the general meeting of the Half-million Club. “By May,” sat Chairman Bunker, ad- dressing the visiting committee, ‘‘we may have a plan mapped out for you. We are not slow to act when we once take hold.” Mr. Denike hoped that the members of the club would be free with suggestions re- garding the coming fair. “Your body isa representative one in the highest degree,” hesaid. ‘“You have done splendid work for the fiesta, which will last only fora week. Our fair will last for over a month and be right_in our midst, but its import- ance will be State wide. We can accom- pl‘iish, very important results with your aid. After the departure of the Mechanics’ Institute party the meeting took up the subject of badges for the excursion to Los Angeles. Mr. Craig thought a yellow badge—*‘the color of the State flower”—would be the thing, but he was informed that the “esch- scholtzia bill”” had been permitted to die by Governor Budd. The members agreed that a badge of yel- low satin, with the inscription, in black, “United California,” would suit the occa- sion, and Albert E. Castle was appointed as a committee of one to have 1000 badges of that description printed. Mr. Castle was also authorized to arrange foran offi- cial button to bear the inscription “Half- million Club.” A sufficient number of those buttons will be made to coverthe list of delegates. Mr. Bunker reported that he had secured for the railroad accountants the use of a tug for an excursion on the bay on Friday, the 19th. John D. Spreckels had very cor- dially acceded to the committee’s request. On that excursion the railroad accountants of this city will provide the refreshments. The Half-million Club has received from wine merchants and others proffers of dona- tions for San Francisco’s festival, which occurs on the 1st and 2d of May. Notably, the Italian-Swiss Company offered to do- nate ten cases of wine. This proposition was acknowledged with thanks, but the matter of donations was referred to the entertainment committee. “Our city must sustain her reputation,” said Mr. Craig. ‘“When the members of the Mississippi congressreturned East froin here they declared that San Francisco had tanght them whis hospitality was.” Sonntag said it was proposed to have illuminations on the bay on the evening of May 1, for the gratification of our citi- zens as well as the visitors, and to afford the visitors an idea of the mass of people San Francisco contained. The excursion- ists will arrive here April 30, The staterooms are all taken on the itinerary, and the list of excursionists is growing very rapidly. UNNECESSARY EXPENSE. The Reason Why the County Jail Is Always Crowded With Prisoners. The manner in which prisoners are kept in the County Jail for an unreasonable and unnecessary time at the expense of the city and county is exemplified in the case of J. W. Alden. Alden was brought here from Portland, Or., in November last by Detective Gibson, on a warrant charging him with forgery. He stole a certificate of deposit for $170 in the California Savings and Loan Society from a friend named Woodworth. He forged Woodworth’s name on the back of the certiticate and had it cashed by the firm of Armes & Dallam, manufacturers, on Front street. ' He was held to answer and the case was tried in Department 12 of the Superior Court. Alden was found guitty and on January 5 was sentenced to twelve years in the State prison at Folsom. On January 8 his attorney gave notice of appeal, and that has been the last heard of the case. Tor over three months Alden has been living at the expense of this city and county, and it is a simple illustration of how the County Jail is always crowded with prisoners waiting the convenience of their attorney to file the appeal papers. —_—————————— Between 1870 and 1895 the number of factories in New Orleans has increased from 554 to 3595, the capital from §5,429,140 to $40,057,000, hands em})loyed from 4411 to 46,036, and the value of the product from $8,450,439 to $70,089,546. THE COURT WILL DECIDE, Unexpected Turn of the In- quiry*in the Spreckels Case. AN AGREEMENT BY COUNSEL. Attorney Ach Had No Chance to File Proceedings for Con- tempt. There was an unexpected turn in the Spreckels slander case inquiry yesterday morning. The two separate courts of in- quiry, for which preparations had been made, did not sit or interrogate, because Sluch against Philip G- Sluch for divorce was denied by Judge Hebbard. Officer C. C. Wells of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who got inwo a fracas with Attorney McGlynn dur- ing the hearing of the Ethel Brown case, has been cited for contempt by Judge Coffey on the 17th inst. Claude Barry has been cited to appear before Judge Troutt to-day to show .cause why he has not paid $20 a month alimony, $20 costs and $50 counsel fees in the divorce roceedings of Claude Barry vs. Gertrude Earry, in accordance with an order of court. Murderer Fredericks has petitioned the Supreme Court for a rehearing, on the ground that it would have been a physical impossibility for him to have fired the fatal shot. A. McC. Mix has sued the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company for $10,300 dam- ages for injuries sustained in alighting from a train at Second avenue, Alameda, on September 11 last. Partial distribution of the estate of the late Miranda Lux was ordered by Judge Coffey yesterday. The distribution was to Miranda W. Lewis, Martha A. Cook, Annie Newkirk and Isabella Knight, and the property distributed consisted of certain THEIR OFFICERS ELECTED, The Session of the Chosen Friends Nearing Its Close. MANY INTERESTING FEATURES, Two Important Questions Expected to Come Up for Action To-Day. Preceding the election for grand officers, the great event of thesession of the Grand | Council of the Order of Chosen Friends, it | was decided yesterday to increase the sal- | ary of the grand recorder from $1200 to PROMINENT OFFICERS OF THE ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS. Attorney Shortridge secured his own way in the proceedings. For the same reason Attorney Ach did not have an opportunity to carry out his threat of entering proceedings for con- tempt of court against Claus Spreckels, Attorney Shortridge and Notary Levy. Both branches of the inquiry were consid- ered in a brief argument in Mr. Ach’s office, and further action was postponed for the present in order to secure rulings from the court on the guestions which C. A. Spreckels had declined to answer. The examination of C. A. Spreckels was con- tinued, by consent, until Saturday, April 13, at 10 A. M., and that of Claus Spreckels was reset for Wednesday, April 17, at 10 A.M. In the meantime the unanswered questions will be disposed of in the Su- perior Court. Following is the text of the agreement which was entered into by counsel for both sides in the case: It is understood and agreed by and between the respective counsel for the parties above named, Messrs, Delmas & Shortridge for the defendant and Messrs. Rothehild & Ach for the plaintiff, that the said counsel shall at once wait on the presiding Justice of the Superfor Court and cause him to assign this cause, if not already o assigned, tosome department of said court.” That immediately upon such assign- ment being made the said attorneys shall ap- Pear before such court or Judge to whom the said cause shall be assigned, informally and without notice and at once, and will present the said court or Judge such arguments and authorities, pro and con., upon the proposition 88 to whether C. A. Spreckels, a witness whose testimony is now being taken by the defendant under section 2021 of the Code of Civil Pro- cedure, shall be or {s required to answer any or all of the questions which he has thus far de- clined to answer during the progress of the taking of said deposition. That save and ex- cept as to the gueflinns which thus remain un- swered, such further questions and jects that might be opened up by an answer by said C. A. Spreckels, or either or any of said questions, the direct examination of the said witness in said deposition is concluded, and that upon the determination by the court or Judge of the Superior Court of said questions the respective parties will at once resume and proceed to an immediate closing of the taking of the deposition of said C. A. Spreckels. And whereas, Claus Spreckels has been sub- enged to appear before the Hon.Frank W. wler, a court commissioner of the said court, | for the purpose of having his deposition taken, under the same section, hereinbefore allude to, of the Code of Civil Procedure, for Thurs- day, the 11th day of April, at the hour of 10 0'clock A. ., it is understood and agreed that the said Claus Spreckels shall appear at said time and at the place in said deposition noted, 10 be taken at said hour, and shall be sworn by the said court commissioner. That immedi- ately after being so sworn the examination of said Claus Spreckels shail by consent be a journed to a day certain, and that the taking of the testimony of said Claus Spreckels under said deposition, it is agreed be- tween the respective attormeys, shall not be resumed or taken up until the deposition of C. A. Spreckels shall have been finished, Any furtheradjournments, if necessary, shall be from day to day,sothat the said deposition of said Claus Spreckels shall be taken up at the earliest possible moment after the completion of the deposition so now being taken of the said C. A. Spreckels. The inten- tion hereby being between the parties and the attorneys that no unnecessary delay shall oc- cur or take place in bringing to a speedy close the taking of the deposition of said C. A. Spreckels. It is further understood that Commissioner Lawler may, without the presence of the parties and without the presence of the at- torneys of the respective parties, after so swear- ing the said Claus Spreckels, as before agreed, adjourn the taking of the testimony ‘of the said Claus Spreckels from day to day until the taking of said depostion of said Claus Spreckels is resumed. ROTHCHILD & Ac Attorneys for plaintiff, DELMAS & SHORTRIDGE, Attorneys for defendant. Claus Spreckels arrived at Mr. Ach’s office after the agreement had been made. He expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the arrangement. He turned to At- torney Ach and in reference to his coming deposition said: . ““Come at me direct and I will tell all I know. I do not like roundabout methods.” With these words the sugar king turned on his heel and walked away, leaning on the arm of Mr. Shortridge. “The agrecement entered into issimply what was rifiht and proper in the prem- ises,” said Mr. Shortridge. “It is plainly law and nothing else, e have the right under the law to finish in every detail the taking of C. A. Spreckels’ deposition before the deposition of Claus Spreckels is en- tered upon.” At 2 p. M. yesterday the attorneys in the case appeared before Judge Sanderson for the purpose of filing their agreement. They were informed that the case had been assigned to Judge Daingerfield’s court, Onapplication by Mr. Shortridge for a hearing of argument on the questions that C. A. Spreckels had refused to an- swer, Judge Daingerficld set the hearing for 11 . M. to-morrow. PLAINTS OF LITIGANTS, A Variety of New Suits Which We; Filed in the Superior Court Yesterday. i William H. Bonham has applied for let- ters of administration over the estate of | Eleanor K. Bonham, consisting of one lot in Berkeley valued at $800. Bdward Barron, the 14-year-old claim- ant of the Barron estate, appeared in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday in the mat- ter of his guardianship. He wants an ac- counting and a new guardian. The case went over for a week. 3 The petition of Crescentia Theresia 4 dividends and shares, paintings and ornaments, A. L. Nichols has sued Sheriff Richard I. Whelan, J. J. Moran and Joseph E. Shain for the recovery of $1200 on account of the forcible removal of certain personal property on Aprfl 1 last from Sloan’s cafe, now known as the Imperial restau- rant, 1416 Howard street. The will of Franz Bauten has been filed leaving his estate, valued by himself at ‘‘several thousand dollars in the German Savings Bank” to decendent’s three brothers, Peter, Johan and Hubert, or, in the event of their being dead, to their children in equal shares. The brothers re- sided in Duisburg on the Rhine. FROM PARK TO PRESIDI Movement to Make First Ave- nue a Boulevard Be- books, statues, ' tween Them. Other Improvements Conslidered by the Merchants’ Asso- ciation. At the monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants’ Association, last night, a communication was read from the Mechanics’ Institute asking the co-operation of the association, in connec- tion with other mercantile and industrial bodies, to make the coming fair the great- est ever held in the city, particularly with the view of showing up the manufactures of the State. A committee to take this matter up was appointed as follows: A. S. Baldwin, M. S. Kohlberg and Hugo Keil. Henry Michaels of the Langley & Michaels Company addressed a letter to the association stating that it was next to impossible to bring about noiseless traffic as hauling was now conducted here, as the trucks carry heavier loads than anywhere else in the country. He asked that the as- sociation exert itself to secure the passage of an ordinance compelling the use of wider tires to correspond with the weight car- ried by vehicles. He also suggested that the seawall be completed as soon as pos- sible, so that the railroad company can ex- tend its tracks northward, and thus make a shorter haul and enable draymen to use light trucks and drays. The whole matter was reported to the consulting engineer of the association, with instructions to ascer- tain what ordinances exist that bear on the subject and what remedies can be ag- plied, particularly with reference to Gold- en Gate avenue. Itis proposed to secure this thoroughfare for the exclusive use of those who drive and ride for pleasure, and to prohibit the heavier vehicles from pass- ini over it. letter from George R. Sanderson, presi- dent of the Presidio Heights Improvement Club, pointed out the importance and de- sirability of preserving First avenue as a boulevard to connect the Presidio with Golden Gate Park. It read in part: The late W. W. Stow promised me that if T would have the street properly opened and graded the Park Commission would open an entrance opposite it on D street and extend a driveway from the entrance to the north drive. In order to obtain an order from the Board of Surcrvimrs for a change of grade the law re- quires a petition signed by a majority of prop- erty-owners who would be affected by the change. Ithink thatIhave that majority ready to partition, but they are not agreed as to how the expense should be met. ‘To the Presidio Heights and Richmond the ?u"fin; in order and making of a boulevard of his avenue means a great deal. It isnot, however, a matter of importance to these_sec- tions alone, for every owner of a carriage, every one who even enjoys an occasional drive to the park is interested in it. There isno other street leading to the park until one gets to Ninth avenue upon which a car line does not run. First avenue, with its width of 100 feet, join- ing the Presidio grounds and the park, ap- proached by Washington and Clay streets, upon which” there are no_tracks from Scott street west, should certainly be set aside as & boulevard and made at once what itshould be—a carriage-way to the park. Unless some action is taken at once, franchises for streetcar lines may be granted, which will preclude its use for such a purpose. The letter met with the approval of the association, and a_committee consisting of N. P, Cole, A. S. Baldwin and Vanderlyn Stow was appointed to take snch action as would accomplish the desired results. This committee will call on Mayor Sutro Satur- day to see what can be dons to withdraw all’ claims for street railway franchises along that avenue. Consultations have already been had with Superintendent of Streets Ashworth, who favors the move- ment greatly, and the consnlting engineer has been instructed to ascertain if there is any sewer ordinance before the Board of Supervisors that will interfere with the ading of First avenue as a boulevard, If Erint avenue is not to be graded for sewer purposes the cost of putting it into condi- tion to be used as a boulevard would be only between $5000 and $6000, while if it is necessary to bring it to the standard grade the cost will be much greater. —————————— he Saxon forefathers used to carve u a squared stick about a foot in length the courses of the moon fora whole year, with the new moons, full moons and changes, as also festival days. Some of these curious almanacs haye been pre- served, and are called ‘‘clog almanacs.” $1500 a year and the salary of grand treas- urer was fixed at $10 a month. It was also decided to place the contingent fund of the Grand Council at $1000 a year. For all the more important offices there were interesting, and, in some cases, close and exciting contests. The list of newly elected officers is as follows: Thomas H. Selvage of Eurcka, Cal, grand councilor; M. Boehm of San_Francisco, grand assistant councilor; W. H. Pratt of Virginia City, Nev., grand_vice-councilor; 8. C. Wallis, grand_recorder; Miss C'ara McDonald of San Francisco, grand treasurer; Mrs. M. Grohs of Auburn, Cal., grand prelate ; Mis of San Francisco, grand marshal; Sweeney, grand warden; Mrs. . San Franeisco, grand guard; H. M. B r of Alameda, grand sentr: W. Day of Sacra- mento, grand trustee; A. McPherson of San Francisco, supreme alternate representative. One of the surprises of the election was the defeat of M. H. Brickwedel by Miss McDonald for grand treasurer, he having held the office for four consecutive years. Another feature was the election of 8. C. Wallis to the office of grand secretary by acclamation, this being the first instance of the kind in_the history of the Grand Council of this jurisdiction. The closest contest was that for grand assistant coun- cilor, Mr. Boehm coming out victor over | William McFadden of Anaheim by a ma- jority of only twu. Grand Councilor Sel- vage was re elected by an overwhelming majority over Thomas H. O'Brien. Nearly the entire day’s session was con- sumed in the nomination and election of officers. After the official announcement of the election was made a resolution was past grand councilor, and after a number of resolutions were presented and referred to the proper committeesadjournment was | taken until 10 A. x. to-day. t It is expected that a determined effort resurrect the motion for a reduction of the | motion was defeated at Wednesday’s ses- sion by a close vote, and its friends believe | they have a better chance now of having it go through. Another question that will come up to- day is whether annual or biennial ses- sions of the Grand Council shall be held in future. Each session costs the council in the neighborhood of $2500, and the argu- | ment of those who favor less frequent | sessions _is that it would effect a material | saving, but the advocates of the existi | order of things insist that it is necessary to | the best interests of the order that the Grand Council should meet every year, so that (}uestions of importance that are con- tinually arising mui;obe more promptly settled than would possible with bi- ennial sessions. To»dag’ will see the close of the session. Many of the representatives, instead of re- tiring directly to their homes, will partici- | pate in_the excursion to_the Los Angeles fiesta, which leaves here Monday next. 1 A Terrified Hindoo.

The | | | [ A FLORAL WONDER AGAN It Is Claimed That.a New Variety of Sweet Pea Exists. WHAT IS THERE IN A NAME? An Enterprising Man Can Win a Big Prize From a Firm of Eastern Flor- ists if He Can Guess What the ‘Most Popular Name for the New Flower Will Be—Must Buy Seeds. It is stated that up close by Niagara Falls a new variety of that fragrant and handsome flower, the sweet pea, has been originated, or more likely nybridized. If what is being claimed for it is true, it will be indeed an accession to the flora of to-day. It is said to have double flowers, that is, they have two or three standards orupright parts. These stand- ards are of a clear rose color, while the other parts are white. The “banners” are either back to back or overlapping, thus adding to | the general novelty of the appearance and, in | addition to all this, the fragrance of the flowers is said to be sweeter than the sweetest. Grant- ing all this to be true, the appearance of tha double sweet pea will be looked on as quite an | event by the lovers and devotees of flori- culture. A prize of $300 has been offered by | an enterprising firm of florists to the individual who can guess which name will be chosen out of six for the new plant; but there is & joker, | of course, in the offer. In order to guess or vote for the name you must purchase at least $1 worth of flower or vegetable seeds from the people who are going to give away the money to the Iucky guesser. California has never yet produced a double sweet pea, but in its vegetable products it is head and shoulders above any other State in the Union. Were it to rest its claim to this premier position alone on the fact that it pro- duces all the ingredients that constitute that great and grand home remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparille, it could justly lay elaim to it, for that medicine is without a peer in the wide, wide world. And why is it without an equal? Simply beceuse no remedy has done the tithe of what Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla has done for the suffering Sick in the United States. And the cures which have been made without a doetor’s sid by this household medicine are legion. And they cover nearly all the diseases extant. Let us quote an example or two. It makes good reading to weary sick mortals. A?
