THEATERS ARE REPRESENTED. Women Resent Neglect by the Re- galla Committee—A. O. H. Not to Parade. The committee having in charge the parade on the Fourth of July met yester- day afternoon to discuss floats and prices. Varians designers zppeared before them and explained their sketches and sub- mitted bills. Later in executive session the committee reached an informai de- cision to bhave six floats designed by Her- man Jahn. No official action was taken, however, and the contract was not closed. The tloats adopted represent: ‘Liberty Ruling the World,” “The Thirteen Origi- Gleeson, amounting to $2000, between her- seifl and her sister, Mrs. Mary M. Haben- feld. She says in her complaint that the ben- efit'was originally made payable equally to herself and her sister, but that just before his death her father changed the assign- ment and made it over entirely to Mrs. Habenfeld. She alleges undue influence. and asks the court to declare the original assignment in force. -~ A RETREAT FOR PRIESTS. All Assistant Pastors of the Diocese ‘Will Spend a Week at Santa Clara.

The younger clergymen in the Catholic churches have been considering their spiritual welfare to be in a proper mood for cm.erinf; upon the week's retirement from the world. Ciara.

Very respectfull FRIEDLANDER, GOTTLOSB & Co. It has been unofficially learned that the Ancient Order of Hibernians has decided not to parade because the resolution that no national flags be carried in the proces- sion save the stars and stripes prevents the P SIR { appearance of the green flag of Ireland. No oflicial communication of their inten- tions has yet been received. The members of the decoration commit- tee who were out yesterday to collect ad- ditional funds for theerection of the arch on Market street were not so successful as had been hoped. They secured promises of $200, but to many subscriptions were at- tached conditions that the arch should be located at a certain place. The committee has decided to locate it in frontof the His- tory building, but the members say that nerchants must subscribe more Iiber- ally if they wish the arch erected at all. Mrs. Vidaver of the refreshment com- mittee continued soliciting supplies for the refreshment of children at the park. She secured sandw s from the Baldwin Hotel 500, Russ House 250, Poodle Dog !

Candy was sub- scribed by Saroni & Co. 100 pounds, Gold- | { berg, Lebenbaum & Co. 25 pounds, Schreiber 10 pounds, Rothschiid & heit 50 pounds, Golden Rule Bazaar 20 pounds. The K. & 8. Tamale Grotto will furnish twenty gallons of lemonade and William Cline five rolls of butter. The ladies of the entertainment commit- | tee intend to have a balloon ascension at the park for the benefit of the little ones provided they can secure the necessary funds. - Quite a breeze was raised among the ladies of the various committees by the dis- covery that the regalia committee had made no provision for distinctive badges for them, and the breeze became a gale when it was found that none had been pro- vided even for Rev. Anna Shaw. Informa- tion that no_carriages were provided to carry the ladies in the parade did not make matters better, and considerable feeling was displayed. The committee hastened to repair the breach, and it is now announced thata suitable and unigue badge will be provided for Rev. Anna Shaw and that at least two carriages in the parade will be at the com- mittee women’s disposal. Last evening the auditing committee was hard at work on the bills. A complete list of claims together with the numbers and amounts of the checks by which they are paid is being kept and will be pub- lished in full, together with the completa report of the finance committee after the celebration, Vocalists for the Fourth, Volunteer singers are gradually swelling the grand chorus for July 4 literary exer- ‘cises, Themusical director, Mr. McKen- zie, has called the first rehearsal of the chorus at Mauzy Hall, 308 Post street, for Tuesday, June25, at8p.

One of the Famous V|gllancs Com- | mittee and an Active Busi- ness Man. The dyath is recorded, yesterday, of | John S8paulding of the Pioneer Carpet- beating Company and the Pacific Cleaning and Dyeing Works, who passed away at his residence, 1715 Clay street, from a com- plication of diseases resulting from grip. Mr. Spaulding, who was a native of Mil- ton, N. H., came to California from Massa- chusetts in March, 1853, on the John L. Stevens. He engaged in mining in Sonora, afterward taking up the water supply busi- ness. He was one of the first carriers of J. Spaulding.

Graham Paints Surrounded by Oriental Splendor. Honorable Mention Has Been Given to E. Peixotto at the Salon. These are the days when itis a hard task to find the owner of a studio at home. There is more likely to be a penciled natice on the door announcing that he is in only on Wednesday, or some other day of the week, which generally happens to be the one on which the visitor does not haEpen to call. iven these periodical visits to the studio are generally limited to a few hours, for the artists who are pretending to pass the summer in the city are getting as far afield as they can in their rambles. They cross the bay, or go down to San Mateo County,and puton canvas choice bits of marsh or richly foliaged oaks, that will serve by and by for the autumn exhibition. Among those who are making almost dail; trips across the bay are Amedee Joullin, who has found some good subjects in Aia- meda, and Miss Marem Froelich, who is sketching the sand dunes of Alameda and the Mill Valley redwoods. Miss Lou Wall is working in oils and in black and white on the landscape at Menlo Park and at San Mateo, while Stanton is working on the marsh and seashore of Bolinas. Donald de V. Graham, the popuiar so- ciety barytone, has opened a sumptuous studio at 606 Sacramento street, which is uphoistered with the prayer-rugs, oriental tapestries and Moorish bric-a-brac that the studios in society novels always abound in. Donald de V. acquired the treasures on his recent trip around the world, and it is rumored that before long, he intends to give musical teas, to which both society and artistic Bohemia will be invited. Another addition to the ranks of studio owners, who is expected to arrive early next month, is Ernest Peixotto, This young painter has just had honor- did not seem at all disturbed by the stric- | | pose, and in cate theinstitution beeqmes the property of the City the $20,000 will be all my reasons for that opinion.

Trouble Among the Stockholders of the Gold Ridge Mining and Milling Company. i _Mark Strouse, H. Sylvester and J. W. Brown are suing W. H. Lillie, R. H. Daly, | B. F. Ricker, C. M. Jennings, Richard Phelan and the Gold Ridge Consolidated { Mining and Milling Company, to have them restrained from selling the plaintiff's stock for unpaid assessments. The company has a capital stock of $10,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares. Of these Brown owns 28,000, Sylvester 2689, and Strouse 2000; thejremaining shares are held by the defendants and a very few out- siders. 2 The claim is gade that the defendants | are trying to force the plaintiffs from the | company, and to that end have levied first, on October 22, 1894, an assessment of 214 cents a share, ana on April 22, 1895, a sec- ond assessment of 5 cents a share. The assessments on the stock of the defendants, the complaint charges, were marked paid, though not a cent had ever been turned in, and whep the plaintiffs refused to pay their stock was and now is advertised for sale. They pray for an order enjoining the sale until after the trial. NEW POSTOFFICE SITE Examination of the Ground Will Be Finished by Next i Wednesday. | Borings Show the Formation Is Similar to That Under the Palace Hotel. | While Dr. Somebody, with an unpro- | nounceable name, is giving a very unat- | tractive show in a big tent on the proposed new Postoflice site at Seyenth and M | streets, a big sand pump is forcing its way | | down into the earth to satisfy Uncle Sam’s ! treasury officials that the area will hold the | massive structure from which it is pro- posed to distribute S8an Francisco’s mails. Uncle Sam’s army engineers are closely | watching the progress of events, and they were assisted yesterday by a large number of citizens, attracted by the CarL's article | of yesterday, who wanted to see for them- selves just what was being done. | Over in the southwest corner of the| ract, that portion which had been picked ! upon by the skeptical as being most open to objection, five brawny men were bend- ing their efforts on the steam pump under | the direction of Engineer W. D. Woodbury, | who is superintending actual operations for Colonel Mendell and Lieutenant- Colonel Benvaurd, the Government en- gineers, ‘The men had directed the pump into a new hole early in the morning, and by the noon hour had penetrated into the earth a distance of about 20 feet, encountering from 13 to 14 feet of well-packed sand be- foreg reaching the water mixture. Thisis the fourth hole that has been bored within the week, and in all of them the same con- ditions are found; from 13 to 14 feet of { well-packed sand. then sand and water for { about 25 feet, a thin stratum of peat and then solid yellow clay. But two more borings have been ordered by the army engineers so far, and it is more than hikely that when these are fin- isned, which they will be by next Wednes- day, Colonel Mendell and Licutenant- Colonel Benyaurd will be ready to make up their repost tothe Treasury Depart- ment® Taking the history of building in San Francisco and presentindications from the borings made on the proposed site it is site. 8. M. D. Haley, the contractor who is doing the boring, has had a great deal | of experience in similar work in this City, | especially in the Southside, and states that simNar conditions as now shown to exist on the proposed Postoffice site existed on the site of the Palace Hotel. There in boring well-packed sand was first encoun- tered for about the same distance, then water and sand mixed, then peat and then clay. Several years after the Palace was buiit be had occasion to make a boring on the site again and found that the water was not reached until a depth of about | forty feet. A similar experience was had in borings made at different times in the Mint. ]b" both cases the weight of the | superstructures had forced the water to a | lower depth and soliditied the ground be- neath. Next to solid rock, in the estimation of engineers, comes a gravel formation for building purposes and after gravel sand. This being the case the conditions now showing in the borings are such as would lead the laity to believe that the work of construction will soon follow the report of the army engineers. e e THOSE SLEEL RAILS AGAIN. Judge McKenna Will Decide Under Which Tariff They Will Be Assessed. An old but interesting case will come up for trial in the United States Circuit Court next Wednesday.

In Sweden the 24th of June iz observed as a national holiday, the occasion being cailed St. John's or Midsummer day, This event will be celebrated by the Swedes of San Francisco next Monday, though there will be two jollifications instead of one. Asa matter of fact there is a serious schism in the ranks of the Swedish Patri- otic League, an organization representing every Swedish society in the City. The whole trouble is due to the determi- nation of the majority of the members of the league to commemorate St. John's day at a place where beer and liquors are sold, Dr. Fredrik Westerberg, the First Presideat of the Swedish Patriotic League. [From a photograph.] and also to allow dané¢ing. The members of the various churches and Good Tem- plars, who are also closely identitied with the league, are unalterably opposed to anything of the kind, hence the split. The Patriotic League has a membership of about 500, and three-fourths of this number will spend next Monday, which is St. John's day, at Harbor View Park. There will be represented at this gather- ing, the Swedish Society, Swed Repub- lican Political Club, Swedish Singing So- ciety, Swedish Society of the Golden Ban- ner, Swedish Society Valkyria, Swedish Relief Society, Society of Freiga and the Swedish Republican Club, the last two being from Oakland. On Monday night the opposition side will give a grand midsummer festival at Metropolitan Temple, under the direction of Rev. C. Nelson, Rev. A. C. Ander- son and Rev. Dr. Nelander. They have prepared an excellent programme, which will include a brief talk by Mayor Sutro and an addr by the Swedish Consul, Henry Lund. “‘Nearly everybody remembers Swedish day at the Midwinter Fair,”’ said Dr. Alfred Westerberg, the first president of the Patriotic League, and a strong advocate of K. A. Lindstrom, President Swedish Society. [From a photograph the Harbor View celebration. “At that time all the Swedish societies in the City came together, and I am glad to say the occasion was a grand success. “There was quite a sum left from the amount subscribed by each society for the expenses incident to that celebration, and it was determined to form a Swedish Patriotic League, each society being en- titled to two representatives for the first fifty members and one for every fifty over that number. ““This year we thought to_celebrate mid- summer day as itis done in Sweden, and each society was requested to send its proper representative to a meeting called to discuss tbat matter. The liberal- minded members of the league favored Harbor View, their number being about thirty, while some five or six opposed the Egpnlar choice simply because I{wer would > sold on the ground and dancing per- mitted at night. Why in Sweden even the ministers dance on an occasion of this kind. “The majority would not give away to the minority, and the result is that the ministers and their friends will hold a separate celebration at Metropolitan Temple. 1 am sure they think they are right, and for that reason I have no com- ment whatever to make concerning their action. This is only a temporary disrup- tion and I am satisfied thateverything will be all right at the next meeting so far as ill-feeling is concerned.” Siebe Wants More Time. County Assessor Siebe finds that he will be unable to get his books in shape by the time fixed for the sitting of the State Board of Eqgualization on the first Monday in July and the corporations in question loaned money on the bills of lading. There was no demand for steel rails at that time, so they were stored in a bonded warehouse. This was in the days when the Morrison tariff was in force and the duty on steel rails was high. Later the Wilson tariff lJaw went into effect and the duty on steel rails was reduced. Then the banks wanted to sell, and did so, claiming that they should only pay duty under the Wilson act. Collector Wise assessed them under the Morrison act and they appealed. The Board of General Agprnisers sustained the banks and now the Secretary of the Treas- :S?h“ appealed against the latter's de- ion. —————— A New Department.

He said: “If I had not written the “Night Thoughts,’ I would still be re- membered by my prose wrilings.” Ninety- nine peop.e in a trundred who have read the **Night Thoughts” are not aware that he wrote anything in prose, so completely have his literary. political and doctrinal writings passed out of the public mind. ——— Dickens considered “David Coppertield” bis best novel.
