Some of the Interesting Feat- ures of the Pageant Described. BULLS' HEADS AND BEEVES. They Are Fed to the Numerous Guests of the Athens of the Pacific. A1l of Oakland and the greater po of Berkeley and Alameda were a] turned loose on the streets of the Athens of the Pacific yesterday to witness the grand parade in honor of the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West. Even from 8an Francisco the visitors came in such numbers 0 break ord for weekday traffic on the ferry steamers.

The band was un | leadership of William McBain. | The three compani comprising the | battalion, turned out in large numbers | and made an exceedingly fine showing. { Company A had forty men in line under | command of Captain C. T. Poulter, First Lieutenant I. L.

Thefloat wasdrawn by a pair of milk-white horses, tandem style. T‘l’:ey were draped Wwith nettings of white silk, interwoven with garlands of golden-hu roses. About thirty members of Liberty Divi- sion, Knights of Pythias, followed in full uniform, bearing their handsome banner. Next came large delegations of the wheel- men of the Aeme and Reliance clubs. They were fantastically arranged, and their evolutions during the march of the parade were an additional cause for much amuse- ment and a flow of jocular remarks. One of the most picturesque features of | the pageant was the fine showing made by the local Fire Department. It turned out four engines and hosecarts and two traucks. All were elaborately and handsomely deco- rated with flags, streamers and shields, | scarcely any part of them being visible dark suits, white straw hats and blue sashes of the members made a fine appear- ance, Behind Oakland Parlor filed the mem- bers of Piedmont Parlor No. 120. Their banner was held aloft by four colored standard banners in Turkish costume, and they augmented the number in line by ninety-one. In a wooden box secured to the standard bearers they carried a cub of about two weeks labeled ‘California’s Youngest Son."” Brooklyn Parlor, under the marshalship of H. A.Crandall, to the number of thirty- eight, marched next. What this parlor lacked in numbers it more than made up in the attractiveness of the contributions to the procession. Its banner had the name, number and year of organization work upon it in flowers in an artistic and ef- fective manner. It also had a float that shared with il Il = |r||l|-w"f‘ml>'/ i A1 AR L THE '49 FLOAT AT BROADWAY AND FOURTEENTH STREET, OAKLAND. [Drawn from a photograph taken by J. A.

Behind one of the finest four-in-hands that could be obtained in Oakland came the distinguished guests of the day, Grand President J. D. Sproul and Rod W.

Many of the legates wore huge rosettes, at least en inches in diameter, of white and bbon. This closed the first division rocession. head of the second division was E. H.

Hewas resplendent in a golden tash and bestrode an animal of noble mein. He was but a few feet in advance of his chief aids, E. B. Noblett and George J. Hans. Then came aids representing the various organizations in line s follows: H. N. Gard, Oukland Parlor; Frank Each, by Cassasa’s band of sixteen pieces, who layed inspiriting airs for the steps of the gak]and lodge of Elks, who turned out seventy strong. They were arrayed in strictly full dress, including silk hats, and presented a most natty appearance. Thirty of them formed an advanced guard for a pretty float, composed of a bank of vari-colored roses and callas from the top of which protruded the he | and antlersof a noble elk. Inscribed on the through their fiamde dress, except the glitter of the highly polished boilers, which | shone through the fretwork of the decora- tions. All the men were attired in shirts of the brightest red, black trousers, hand- | some_belts and regulation helmets. En- gine 1 had an enormous Japanese umbrella erected over the driver’s head. Seated { astride of the ladders atop of truck 3 was little Harold Willebrandt, the company’s | | mascot. He had a full uniform on, includ- ing a helmet, and looked like a picture, { e O ) On the Way to the Barbecue. with his long curly locks framing his pret- ty iace. Truck 1 carried a live eagle as its mascot. Following engine 6 was little Ed- die Mitchell in a miniature cart drawn bfr a goat, and he was theenvy of all the small_ boys along the route. 2 'E‘mi]ing after the fire laddies came the members of the Newsboys’ Union of Oak- land, carrying a handsome banner and looking guite soldierly in their white straw bats and each with a flag on his right shoulder. A Almost in the van of this division was the superb float of ‘‘Eureka,” the most elaborate and striking of thosein the pa- rade. It was anartistic representation of the seal of the State, the figure of Califor- | nia represented by pretty Mrs. Nellie Had- rien sitting aloft and thrown into bold re- lief by the huge and gorgeous painting of one o{ California’s typical sunsets. She was attired in flowing robes of white and gold, and her head was gurmounted with a golden helmet, with a high crest. She wore a corselet of gold, in her right hand she carried a spear and in her left a shield. On one side of her throne the national flag fell in graceful folds and nestled at her feet, where also lay what appeared to be a fine specimen of a bear. It was in reality little Harry Smith con- cealed within the hide of bruin. . Eureka's way was Eoinud by the First Infantry, U. 0. G., band, consisting of eighteen finely uniformed drummers and fifers. The appearance of FEureka was everywhere the signal for cheering and murmurs of admiration. In the train of this flcat came another drawn by four finely matched bay horses richly caparisoned. It bore the legend “Alameda Parlor No. 18, Native Daughters of the Golden West.” It was bedecked with a floral canopy and under the latter was the bevy of beauties representing the parlor named. They were followed by the delegation from Oakland Parlor, ‘which was 100 strong. In advance of them weré their handsome banners and flags, borne by Eureka the honors of the day, though ofan entirely different character from its rival. It was a miner's cabin of the daysof '49, and the representation was so true to na- ture that one might readily have believed that it had been resurrected from some old- time mining claim. Realism was further given to the tableau by the presence of roughly clad miners and their implements of labor and of defense, the array of guns and revolvers producing many a shudder among the spectators of the weaker sex. From time to time the notes of a violin floated through the open windows, leaving the inference that the inmates were seek- ing change from their burdensome routine of life in tripping the light fantastic toe. Then came a coupe drawn by four horses and occupied by a delegation of native daughters. This was the finale. All the places of business along the line of march closed their doors while the the pagent passed. hen the members of the different par- lors passed each other in the counter- march cheers burst forth almost simul- taneously that could be heard for many blocks. At many points gmups of school- children had gathered with burdens of lovely flowers, which were thrown to the delegates as they passed. Even before the parade had got fairly under way there was an unwonted volume of traffic on the electric-car line running to Trestle Glen, the scene of the bullshead feast and barbecue. But when the partici- pants in the parade dispersed the facilities at hand proved altogether inadequate, though five double-deckers had been bor- rowed from another line. Men, women and children made a general scrabble for a seat or standing room, and many were well satistied to securea place to hang on by fingers and toes. That no accident oc- curred is simply marvelous. From noon until 4 o’clock” this mad rush to the free feast was maintained, and before it had Bound to Be In It. subsided there was a similar struggle to return to Oakland. Laterin the day quite a number of ’busses, wagons and other vehicles were placed in service and their owners turned many an honest dollar. It is estimated that about 15,000 visited Trestle Glen, a most picturesque spot, yes- terday, though there was probably néver more than &)00 or 7000 people ‘on the ground at one time. gentlemen of color. The bear flag and the flag of the Union werealso thus borne, The i To suppliy the appetites and thirst of the guests of hospitable Oakland there had been provided 2000 pounds of beef, 1200 ounds of mutton, £¥ bulls’ heads, 2000 oaves of bread, several kegs of pickles and olives, 47 barrels of beer and about 100 dozen bottles of soda and sarsaparilla. The meat was roasted in pits in the ground and judging from the avidity with which it was eaten and the rapidity with which it was all consumed must have been done, as_one of the dele%mea .remarked, “to the Queen’s taste.”” The sight about the grounds was a peculiar one and one that was highly interesting and amusing. Gentlemen in full dress—swallow-tails, lawn ties and silk hats—and ladies in swell outdoor gowns and adorned with their new Easter bonnets, were seen scat- tered about on the grass-covered slopes, a cut of beef or mutton in one hand and a large-sized piece of bread in the other, which they were munching with the en- joyment and abandon of a half-starved ramp. i : For those who sought enjoyment in other ways there was an immense dancing pavilion, with a fine band in attendance, and_ here dancing was kept up till the shadows of night began to fall. Everything on the grounds was free to all who came. 5 There was a short session of the Grand Parlor before the festivities of the day be- an. It opened at 9:30 A.n. The only usiness transacted was the presentation of resolutions amending the constitutions of local parlors, which were referred to the vroper committees, and the adoption of a resolution that no further business shall be transacted after the election of grand offi- cers. Adjournment was then taken until 7:30 in the evening. A 2 On reassembling_ the following commit- tees were appointed: On returns — J. T. Harmes, T. J. Dunn, J. T. Robinson. On literature—John Tatham, M. Miers, W. D. Wayne, L. W. Mooser, J. E. Morton. H. G. W. Dinkelspiel introduced the fol- lowing resolution: WHEREAS, At the twelith annuel session of the Grand Parlor, held in San Rafael in 1889, resolutions were unanimously adopted by that body expressing itself og;posed 10 any groposed division of the State of California; t erefore, MI\::mlved, That we, the delegates constituting the eighteenth annual Grand Parlor. reiterate and reafirm the sentiments expressed by that body and further declare ourselyes unalterably opposed to the creation of two States out of the State of California. On motion of Grand Trustee E. A. Mes- serve, the resolution was adopted by a rising vote. A The directors of the Native Sons’ Hall Association introduced a resolution asking the Grand Parlor to invest $2500 to the stock of the association. The resolution was made a special order for 2 o’clock to- day. 6n motion of Cassin of Watsonville, the matter of selecting the next Grand Parlor convention seat was made a special order to come up immediately after the selection of the place for holding the Admission day celebration. Both the treasurer's and secretary’s re- ports were adopted as read on motion of the finance committee. ; Adjournment was taken until 9 A. a. to- day. WHEAT TRUST ~ SHAKEN, Two Hundred Thousand Tons of Grain to Be Released. Sald to Be a Part of the Late James Graham Falr’s Estate. There was a flurry in wheat yesterday afternoon, and a still livelier flurry is expected to-day. It is believed that by an order of court issued by Judge Coffey for the sale of the heavy storage of grain controlled by the estate of James G. Fair, there will be a fluctuation in the market, the like of which has not been seen for years. There 18 stored in the warehouses at Port Costa at the present time about 250,000 tons of wheat. Of this amount there are not less than 200,000 tons that be- long to what is known among grain specu- lators “on 'Change’’ as “the trust.” This vast amount of grain is under the imme- diate control of L. W. McGlauflin. It has been held in sight so long that all the shippers have come to look ugon it as a bugbear in the grain market. The local dealers have fought shy of it because they could not secure the warehouse receipts that would insure its deliverance on board a vessel. So long has_this vast quantity of grain lain in store that it began to rust and it has often been spoken of as musty and weavel-eaten. The order of the Superior Court will re- lease this vast amount of grain from the bins that have contained it. It is expected that it will go on the market and will pro- duce an effect that cannot be foretold. Immediately after the death of Fair it was said that great quantities of wheat were tied up in his estate. Inquiries were made on all sides, but the exact condition of the speculation could not be made. It is now known that L. W. McGlauflin is the nominal holder, that he held the rain trust by force of Fair’s capital and hat its volume was not increased in any appreciable degree after the death of the capitalist. BOOM IN CONCERTS. Armand A, Salomon’s Farewell— Miss Pearl Noble’s Beribboned Baton. Harmony Union. It is an unwritten law in San Francisco that concerts shall never come singly, and last night was no exception to the rule. There were four. The Harmony Choral Union gave its ninth subscrigtion concert in 0dd Fellows’ Hall, under the direction of Robert Lloyd. The union consists of a well-drilleq chorus of mixed voices, large enough to render operatic or oratorio choruses, and the special forte of the-organization 1s delicacy and finish, which makes it excel especially in the execution of glees and madrigals. - “The Violet Loves a Sunny Bank,” by Robert Lloyd, was rendered in an es- ecially graceful magner, the precision geing excellent and theshading something that is not often attained in a largé band of amateur vocalists. The *‘Soldiers’ Chorus’’ from Gounod’s “Faust” lost a good deal of its character in being sung by mixed voices. Among the the other composers per- formed were Rheinberger’s “‘Stars in Heav- en,” Batson's “To_a Coquette,”” and Men- delssohn’s “‘In the Woods.” The concert tendered to Armand A. Salomon in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium deserved a larger attendance. A number of prominent local musicians were con- spicuous by their presence in the audience, however. Miss Meta Asher, a very young girl, played a gavotte for pianoforte gy the great John Sebastian, with remarkable clearness and that good legato touch which denotes the artist. The First Congregational Church was prettily decorated for the Sunday-school orchestral eoncert last night. Miss Pear] Noble, the conductor, wielded her baton very cleverly, and her innova- tion of having streamers tied to it, was feminine and pleasing to the eye. The concert_began with a pretty over- ture, “The Fairies' Glen,” which the young amateurs played quite cleverly. In fact, throughout the concert they acquitted themselves most creditably. 5 Among the soloists of the evening were: Miss Maud Noble, Frank Coffin, Miss Char- lotte Gruenhagen and Miss Gertrude Judd. Mrs. Julia Melville Snyder’s house on Van Ness avenue scarcely sufficed to hold all the people who attended her pupils’ vocal and dramatic entertainment last night. Mrs. L. J. Murdoch played two piano- forte selections, one by Liszt and the other by Chopin, and the rest of the musicale consisted of songs and recitations. Several of the students showed them- selves to_be the possessors of fine voices, notably Miss Fannie E. Ryan, Eugene Pierson and John Hassett. George Walter Egan'’s recitatious were also applauded and encored. MEeL. ———————— THEY SEEK RELIET. New Suits Filed Yesterday in the Su- perior Courts. A. D. Grimwood has filed an affidavit for a writ of mandate, asking the Supreme Court to compel Justice of the Peace Barry to reopen the trial of himself against Charles M. Plum, Charles M. Plum Jr., Emma D. Taylor, Maurice Higgins, E. A. Mudgett, E. Caswell, Ransome E. Beach and Albert T. Donnell. The case was de- cided against the defendant, Emma D. Taylor, and a judgment rendered, which judgment Justice of the Peace Barry de- cided operated asa dismissal against the other defendants. Hannah Cobn has sued the executrix of the will of Leopold B. Gostorp for $824 for services in reading aloud to Gostorp for two hours a day from July 1, 1892, to Octo- ber 15, 1894. Robert A. Hardy has sued G. A. Meiggs for judgment on $4288 50 on a judgment. E. L. Snell has commenced suit against Dean & Worden for $355 on a contract for materials. C. B, Williams, Julius H. Belser and L. C. Williams of the firm of Williams, Bel- ser & Co. have sued Frances A. Alberger andkothers to foreclose a lien for street work. e - AFTER FAIR'S MONEY. Helen Palacios, Alias Dalton, Again Before the Public. Helen Palacios, alias Dalton, alias Mrs. McDermott, has a new scheme on hand to obtain money under false pretenses. This time she appears as a claimant for some of the late Senator Fair’s money. Some days ago she appeared before a local attorney representing herself as the mother of one of the late capitalist’s child- ren. According to her story, her relations with the Senator resulted in the birth of a boy, who, she said, had died shortly before Senator Fair. In support of her claim she produced a document signed by him, in which she was promised $200,000 for the education and maintenance of her boy. This docu- ment purported to have been executed last August, but it bore date *‘August 4, 1895,” eight months after J. G. Fair’s death. Mrs. Palacios is known to the police as a scheming women, having been in several cases against prominent men. In her en- deavor to get herself mixed up in the Fair case she has overreached herself, but is clever enough to appreciate the fact as she has not renewed her visits to the attorneys. S e e The Naval Ball. Company B, the oldest company of the Naval Battalion of California, will receive its friends in a grand ball, to be held at the Second Regi- ment Armory on Page and Gough streets next Saturday. Between the dances will be drills Dy the company, prominent among them being t is considered the best gun’s La Freckla. Death to Freckles. Mme. M. Yale was receutly asked the question ‘“‘which of her discoveries she consid- ered the most wonderful.” Her reply was as follows: La Freckla,becauseit unmasked my own face from a filthy mass of freckles and gave me the beautiful rose leaf com- plexion which you see and which has been admired by the people of every mna- tion. Before I discovered La Freckla I was a freckled face individual, disgusted with my own appearance. To-day I am the envy of every woman who looks at my skin. La Freckla will remove any case of freckles in exist- ence and leave the skin as transparent as crystal. One or two applications remove tan and sunburn. It takes from three to nine days to destroy every trace of freck- les. 1Itisthe only remedy known to the world that does this. Now is the time to use La Freckla, as it strengthens the skin, removes and pre- vents freckles and sunburr. #1.00 per bottle. Sold by all druggists or MME. M.
