Mr. aggett contended that only by compari- sou could the plaintiff establish the value | of the ores milled. Judge Hebbard said in sustaining the objection that the argument of Mr. Wood was very strong against the introduction | of that kind of evidence. He continued: At thistime I am not prepared to say that the argument is not sound, though there was a good deal of this sort of evidence in the main trial of this case. But it secms to me that should su=h statements be presented from say twenty-five of the superintendents on the Comstock lode, and should they show the same results, then I should take it to be very strong evidence for the purpose for whieh this Overman statement is sought to be intro- uced. dx‘:idH sustain the objection at this time, but if in the future it shall be shown to be cor- roborative testimony, it may be admitted. The bullion record of the Hale & Nor- cross and the Mint roll used in the main trial were called for, but as it would require time to search for them, the court ad- journed at 4 o’clock until this morning at 0 o’ clock.

Seaton Neglected to Comply With the Order of Court. W. H. Seaton, who for many months has been unable to ind emplovment sufiicient to enable him to fulfill the order of court commanding him to pay his wife $25 per month alimony, and who was ordered by Judge Hunt a few days ago to report at At- torney E. W. Morgan’s back yard and saw wood, will now have to face the ire of the Judge. He failed to carry out his instruc- tions and has been citea to aflpear on next Friday to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. \{lhen the court ordered Seaton to report and saw wood as a means of increasing his worldly wealth the almost tender glance that he bestowed on kis carefully kept | hands was plainly indicative of the fact that he had a decided antipathy to sawing wood in even bis own yard. During the intervening days between |the date of the court's order and |the day for his new employe to | go to work Attorney Morgan was hastily | preparing for a generous reception. A dozen bottles of beer were purchased that Mr. Seaton might quench the burning hirst that was sure to overtake him ere the day’s work was done. A nice, new | bucksaw, a tiny, red-handled hatchet, and | last but not least, a fine, large slab of ba- | con rind with which to grease the saw com- pleted the outfit.

Lafayette Park covers an area of four blocks or eight and eighty-two one-hun- dredths acres. It is bounded on the east by Gough street, on the west by Laguna, on the south by Sacrawento and on the north by Washington. While Octavia passes through the center of the park from south to north, and Clay extends through the center from cast to west, these streets have not been opened through the reserva- tion.

Everybody is | willing and anxious to help and there is | no end of talent to select from; in fact the | selection is the most difficult part of the | affair as the volunteers are all good. On Thursday evening there will be a | grand mass rehearsal of the San Fran- | cisco and Oakland choruses in Metropoli- | tan Hall. Henry Bretherick will preside at the organ and Miss Edith Johnson at the piano. s Lake and Miss West, the heads of two fashionable young ladies’ boarding- | schools, have offered the services of their | young lady pupils to act as ushers at the auction sale of tickets at the Baldwin Theater this afternoon. At this sale large diagrams of the pavilion will be placed upon the stage, that purchasers may see | where their seatsare located in the pavi- lion. George A. Knight and District Atiorney Barnes will officiate as auc- ioneers, and the sale will be enlivened by music during intermissions. [t is expected that the advisory committee, composed of society people, will be present at the sale. It is expected that there will be no trouble to flgspose of all of the sixty-eight boxes at $20 each. These boxes are six feet by six feet in size and will be placed in two rows. The first will be three feet | above the main floor, and the second row | two, but above the first. The seating ca- pacity of the main tloor will be about 4000 and the gallery 2000, | " The reserved seats on the main floor will cost $1 50, $1, 75 cents, and the general ad- mission for the gallery will be 50 cents. Great pains have been_taken in order to produce the best musical effects. The stage will be 56 by 58 feet in dimension. The seats on the stage will be elevated, radiating from a central point, and will ac- commodate 1000 people. A large sounding-board of quarter- inch lumber will be constructed over the entire stage, so as to thtow the sounds dis- tinctly to all parts of the big pavilion. The railroads bave given the management a great reduction for those in the interior cities who desire to attend the concerts. From Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose ouly one and one-third fares will be charged for round-trip tickets, and in those cities it is expected that several car- leads of sixty people to the car will make excursions to this City. Davis’ Bondsmen, ‘The City has brought suit against B. F. Kehr- lein, H. Solomon and R. Bebau for theamount of two bonds for which they qualified in the case of J. C. Davis. Davis was under a charge of lorrery, but when his case came up for trial he failed to :pgut and his bonds were declared forfeited. Each bond was for $1000. Kehrlein was a surety on each bond, Solo- mon being the second s irety on one and Bebau on theother. Demanded Free Beer. A. Palmer, 24 Golden Gate avenue, and A.

MUSIC AND VERY WEAK PUNCH. The Male Writers Give Up Their Rooms to the Ladies for an Afternoon. The Press Club of San Francisco scarcely knew itself yesterday afterncon. lts serious aspect was transformed by garlands of flowers, crimsor streamers and women in pretty frocks till it looked more like a society drawing-room than a place where men retire from the madding crowd to think or spena a social hour or two. The fact is that the Press Club did not beiong to the men yesterday afternoon. For the first time in its history it was turned over to the women reporters of the City, and the men came as visitors and aided and abetted their feminine col- leagues in covering their furniture with flowers, filling their most cherished glasses with sweet weak punch and generally making havoc with all that a clubman holds most sacred. The occasion was a reception to Miss Kate Field. Some weeks ago, when the newspaper men heard that the newspaper women were anxious to honor that distin- guished journalist, they gallantly placed the Press Clubat the disposal of the women reporters and Miss Field having accepted the invitation, the reception took place yesterday. It was a serious and solemn occasion for the women; they had heard ‘“Press Club’ | discussed all their newspaper I the club itself was a terra inco them. They stood in awe of the felt inclined to mutter a benediction as | they passed its portals, but before they | had been there ten minutes the courtesy extended them made them feel as if they owned the club—for the afternoon of course. The reception took place from 3 p. » till 5. Miss Kate Field was there bright and early, looking charming ina black silk, | with a suggestion of crimson; her little | theater bonnet was also black and crimson. | C. M. Coe, president of the Press Club, was present o receive the guest of honor. The following newspaper women formed | the reception committee; Miss Ada is Miss Mabel Craft, Mrs. Ciprico, s Marie Evelyn Lister, Mrs. Mary Calkins Johnson,” Mrs. Lillian Plunkett Ferguson and Miss Elsie Lamb. During the afterncon members of the Press Club dropped in as their work per- mitted and were presented to Miss Field, | chatted awhile and listened to the musical programme. About thirty lady friends of the wom reporters were also present, and althoug every one pronounced the reception a com- plete success, partly on account of the absence of formalit Quite an ovation was given to De Wolf | Hopper, who came to meet his friend, Miss Field, in spite of his lameness. Mr. Hopper, who wasin splendid voice, sang the first serious song he has given in pub- lic for a long time, and he rendered it so dramatically that the rafters of the Press Club rang with applause. The tall | comedian was good-natured, for he per- mitted himself to be prevailed upon to give one of his inimitable renderings of a comic song, also to recite twice. The other members of the De Wolf Hopper company present were J. S. Heller, musical director, H. A. Cripp, 0. J. U. McKinney. Miss Florence Garassiere, a young local | debutante, with a fine soprano voice, sang | “0 Luce de quest, anima,” with splen- | did school and expression. She was ac- companied by her teacher, Miss Barrett. Little Maria Barrett, a prodigy of 10 years, | sang in Italian a dramatic scene_from “I1| Trovatore’ in a way that astonished her | hearers. Several members of the Press Club showed how much musical ability exists there. Willard Bachelder sang excel- lently. S. E. Tucker and Chris Jorgenson also won warm and deserved applause.
