8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1896. M, M. ESTEE WILL SIGN. The Napa Statesman Will In- dorse the Anti-Funding Memorial. MAYOR SUTRO WILL ANSWER. Personal Differences Will Be Buried Until Washington Hears From California. Mr. Estee will sign the memorial to Con- gress prepared by the committee of the State Anti-Funding Convention. Thereis much satisfactior: expressed over this on all sides, and Mr. Estee has gained friends because of his determination in the matter. It was feared that dissensions between Mr. Estee and the committee would re- sult in the memorial being forwarded to Washineton minus the signature of the man of the committee, but Mr. Estee has laid aside his personal feelings in the er and yesterday afternoon told . Highton and Doyle, over the tele- phone, that he would indorse and sign any document on the subject that was finally adopted by the committee. Mr. Estee had just reached his office after day spent in the Federal courts, and there was a CaLL man waiting to put to him the same guestion that he answered over the wire. After nis_talk through the telephone with Messrs, Highton and Doyle ihe Napa statesman turned to his inter- viewer and s “Yes, sir; 1shall sign the memorial. I have just told Doyle and Highton that I \\'onlv! sign whatever document the com- mittee finally agrees upon.

Mayor Sutro has chosen to say that he regretted my ap- pointment on the committee, and he has | also taken issue with me on a question of fact—well, all that 1s another matter. ‘What I said in my letter to THE CALL this morning 1 meant, every word of it. How- ever, 1 have no pride or any personal feel- ings in this matter to gratify. Itisan portant subject, ana I have decided to stand in with the committee. Under the circumstances, however, you could hardly €xpect me 1o attend the committee meet- i the Mayor’s oflice to-morrow morn- jere is another side to the story— Mayor Sutro’s le. He said yesterday he would make no reply to Mr. s letter, published in THE CALL yester- until after the committee meeting to- “ldo mnot want toincumber the anti- funding aeitation with any hurtful per- alities,” he said, “‘but I shall, sooner or nave & reply to make to Mr. Este a man of prominence in the com- d. The falsehood relates to a matter ct; one that can be very easily proven proven. In two instances I have that Mr. Estee did not have au- ority to sign names of other men to his 1al report. Both Judge Gibson and ayor Davie declared yesterday that they gave Mr. mittee, athority to sign their names to the ¢ r1ent that should be approved by the wiole committee, Evidently Mr. Es- 1ee is not in possession of all the facts in the case when he accuses me of falsehood. Well, we shall see. There is time enough to settle this personal matter when the committee has finally forwarded its me- 1to Washington.” already stated the document that will before the committee for action this will consist of all three reports in by Mes Estee, Highton and Doyle, with the amendment of striking out three very small paragraphs in Mr. Estee’s here will be a brief introduc- tion to the whole memorial, the one that refaced Mr. Highton's report. Then Mr. Estee’s report will follow, and after his nment will come that prepared by John Doyle. Mr. Hignton’s entire report will come in atthe end as a conclusion and sumrming up of all the facts and arraign- ments. Thus composed, the whole makes & strong statement and one that cannot fail to be of influence upon thoughtful and unprejudiced members of Congress. All the members of the committee have been notified of this morning’s meeting, and it is expected that a very large majority of ail the members will be present at what is expected to be the last meeting of the memorial committee of the State anti- Funding Conventio: TURNER AND SHARKEY. ‘War to the Knife Is Declared Between the White and Black Pugi Charley Turner, the colored champion pugilist of Stockton, who was at one time regarded by the sporting fraternity as “a coming man,” is now in this City, and, ac- cording to rumor, carries a gun. Turner used to say in_the halcyon days of pugilism that a pugilist who packed a gun was a coward, and “*no good” as a fighter. But times, pugilistically, have changed, and so have the ideas of the once pride of the Stockton sports as regards the etiquette of the so-called manly art of self- de.ense. Turner, who has a grievance, states that he will not rest in peace until he recovers his lost sweetheart—a white woman who, tiring of the colored fighter’s aitentions, flew from him to_the protecting arms of the heavy-weight gladiator—Tom Sharkey, alias the demon puncher of the American navy. +{ love that girl,"* said Turner to a friend last evening, “and you can bet that when I meet Sharkey face to face thar will be feather: nz in the air. See? “Sharkey may be a good rough-and- tumble fichter, but when he fools around Charley Turner’s sweetheart then it's time for e to declare war, I will show this big white man what a scientific pugilist can do with a fellow who swings his arms like a windmill and does now where his fists are going to land. ‘“‘Sharkey will be punching big holes in the air when he is trying to knock the top of my head off. ‘I carry a gun because he may have the same thing, too, butif he will stick to his fists I will stay with him until he licks me or 1 lick him. “I want no purse, it’s the girl I am after, and if 8harkey can whip me on the square he can heve my darling. I am training hard for this meeting, and you can bet that old Charley Turner will make the tight of his life the first chance he has of putting his dark bunch of fives on the Jaw of Sailor Sharkey. Ilove that girl, T do, and you know when a man fights for love he fights to,win. No foolishness this time, honey, with Char Turner. I mean biz, and Sharkey wi ffind out what stuff I am maie of when he runs across my path, see? It was rumored yesterday that Sharkey was making preparations for a gnick jour- ney to Los Angeles with his confiscated sweetheart, bui sporting men who are well acquawnted with the heavy-weight slogger stated that he will remain in this Efixty some time yet, as he has been offered an engagement which he cannot very well afford to cancel in these rather dull times. ———————————— Will Not Resign. Mrs. Rosalie Haingue has filed a petition to have Joseph Lacoste removed from the posi- tion of adininistrator of her husband’s estate, d he bas accused me of false- | stee, as chairman of the com- | and she asks to have herself appointed in his place. Bhe says she never petitioned for La- coste’s appointment, or, if she did, she did not know wgms was the paper she wassigning. Lacoste, advised by his attorney, she says, re- fuses to resign, and she wants him removed. e GOOD SAMARITANS. A Pleasant Musicale for the Benefit of an Episcopalian Mission. There was a fairly large attendance at the concert given Wednésday night at the Association Auditorium for the benefit of the mission of the Good Samaritans, and a solid phalanx of university students, who occupied the rear seats, undertook the pleasant task of supplying a layish amount of applause. The performance began with some good vocal music by the boy choir, which sang “A Morning Invitation,” by Velzie, and an “Evening Song,” by Nevin. Mrs. Ger- trude Noble, Miss Jeannette Wilcox and E. Brown rendered the well-known vocai trio, “O Memory,” in a satisfactory man- ner and the University ot California Glee Clubwon encore after encore forits per- formance of “Ovum Tractum.” Enos Brown sang Spieker’s *‘This Very Hour” well, and Miss Jeanette Wilson gave ‘‘Across the Dee’’ in her usual clever style. Miss Noble also sang a solo, which aroused a demand for an encore. W.I. Andrews, the possessor of a pleasant bary- tone voice, sang Sullivan’s ‘‘My Dearest Heart’’ in a way which wonr him the un- usual distinction of an encore for the last number on the programme. The instrumental numbers, all of which were well perforined, consisted of a violin solo played by Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen, some airs arranged for flute solos, which H. Clay Wysham played cleverly, and a pianoforte solo, Lintz’s ‘‘Tweltfth X{hag- sodie,” rendered by Frederick Biggerstaif. J0Y FOR THE SOUTH SIE Supervisors Recommend Survey- ing, Sewering and Grading. Bids for Street Sprinkling Recom- mended—Will Grade Lafay- ette Square. | After several years of more or less pa- | tient waiting property-owners south o | the park have at last received some in mation that their desire to have that dis- | trict surveyed, sewered and graded is to be granted. Alarge delegation waited on the Street Committee of the Board of Super- visors yesterday, to urge their claims and induce the members to favor immediate inauguration of the work. They argued that the section south of | the park is rapidly being settled, and that | the progress of the City in that direction is being retarded by the fact that no ade- quate surveys have ever been made. | They called attention to the fact that | some of them have paid taxes on their | property for years without being able to | sell or build to advantage on account of | the uncertainty as to the correct lines. | The committee listened to their state- | ments and then called fcr the report of | City and County Surveyor Tilton regardin, the cost of surveying and platting, whic! was made at the request of the committee | in July last. This document shows that | the expense of surveying and getting the district in shape for the real work of grad- | ing and sewering will amount to $11,000. | It reads as follows: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—GEN- | TLEMEN: In compliance with resolution 12,509 of your honorable body, calling on me for an estimate of the cost of establishing grades and & system of sewerage for the district named in the resolution, I wish to say that I have made a careful examination of the afore- mentioned district and of the watershed con- | tiguous thereto, which must necessarily be considered & part of the drainage system pro- sed. I find that the surveys will extend along the crest of the hills easterly as far as the Twin Penks, over the highest, roughest and most difficult lands to survey within this County, comprising with the district named nearly 1000 acres. The paramonnt gquestion is one of the ontlet for the sewerage of this district. To fully determine this will require much time and consideration and the running of many lines and levels. Therefore, I estimate that to run all the lines and levels, to establish all necessary bench marks and set all neces- sary stone monuments so that the grades and lines can be perpetuated, to prepare all maps, plans and detail drawings, to make all neces- sary computations for size of sewers, to deter- mire an outlet for samz and for recommend- ing a system of grades and sewers it will cost $11,000. CHARLES 8. TILTON, City and County Surveyor and City Engineer, The committee decided that, under the circumstances, the estimate is not too large and concluded to recommend at the meeting of the board on Monday next that the Surveyor be authorized to go ahead and make the survey and prepare the necessary maps, plans and specifica- tions. The matter of doing the actual work of sewering and grading was then taken np, and it was decided to include in the committee report a recommendation that the Superintendent of Streets be in- structed to advertise for bids for the work as soon as the specifications and estimates are prepared. A committee from the Merchants’ As- sociation, consisting of F. W. Dohrmann, J.J. O’Brien and C. M. Plum, called on the committee to see what acticn would be taken regarding the commitiee’s re- quest that the” Supervisors take up the sprinkling of the main business thorough- fares of the City at an early date. ffihe Street Committee agreed to recommend that the board advertise for bids under the specifications prepared by the Merchants’ Association. Itwas also agreed, in compliance with titions from H. 8. Crocker and City and ounty Attorney Creswell, to recommend that bids be calied for for the grading of Lafayette Square. HUGHES WANTS LIBERTY He Says He Was Married Before ‘Was of Age, and So Was Not Responsible. Ural Hughes is suing to bave his mar- riage with Mabel 8. Tyler annulled, on the ground that he was not of age of consent when the marriage took place, and that he did not have the consent of his parents. The marriage took place in Chicago on March 10, 1894, which was about a month vefore the groom reached 20 years of age. Buit is brought through Louis E. Beers, plaintif’s guardian ad litem. Hughes and Beers are the two students who last June walked from Los Angeles to this Oy in order to attend college at Berkeley. They are both religious, and made the expenses of their trip by holding revival meetings in the towns through which they passed. THE COST OF EXCHANGE. Advice to Bond-Bidders as to the Amount to Be Deposited. A letter of advice has been received by Assistant United States Treasurer Camp- bell P. Berry at the Sub-Treasury, on Commercial street, which contains infor- mation much desired by bond-bidders. It covers the whole question of exchange on New York, as follows: Bidders are informed that after receipt of notification by the Secretary of the Treuula;eol the acceptance of their subscriptions they should deposit with you in gold coin or gold certificates the amount of the principal, premium and accrued interest; also deposit in current funds the cost of exchange on New York at current rate on day of deposit, but not in any case less than one-sixteenth of 1 per cent Eremlnm. A separate certificate is to be issued for the cost of exchange, and the origi- nals oi both certificates are to be torwarded Lo this office. The bonds will be delivered to them at San Francisco, or elsewhere, as t! a:y di;ect. assoon as possibie after payment NEW EARTH AND HEAVERS, The Unique Project of Professor Plummer, the Scientist, of Tacoma. MAINTAINING DEEP SECRECY. The Weather Prophet and His Friends Are Conferring With Pro. fessor Davidson. For several days a number of men from Puget Bound have been at the Russ House conferring in regard to what was said to be an extraordinary matter of a scientific character. Among the men was Professor F. G. Plummer, a civil engineer, and F. H. Heath and W. R. Andrus, all of Tacoma. The meetings were held in secret,and a number of scientific men resiaing here were asked to confer with the visitors, who | had brought alot of plansand apparatus with them. Included in the list of visitors was Pro- | | curables has outgrown its quarters at 117 Franoisoo street.” It will be nocc-s_n? to femove to a more commodious building, and the officers and friends of that institu- tion have inaugurated plans for the erec- tion of a home that will be a credit to the institution and to the City. It is their purpose to purchase a_lot in some desir- able portion of the City commanding a marine view, It will require $50,000 to purchase such a lot and erect such a build- ing as is contemplated, There is a small nucleus derived from the proceeds of en- tertainments and from subscriptions, and the ladies have gone to work with a will to raise the desired amount. The coming benefit will be the first of a series to be given for that purpose. ————————— WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY, How It Will Be Celebrated by Various Patriotic Organizations. A large and enthusiastie meeting of the committee baving in charge the prepara- tions for the celebration of Washington's Birthday in this City was held Wednesday evening in Shiels’ building. Delegates were present from Lincoln, Garfield, Starr King and U. 8. Grant councils of this City and from Custer, Paul Revere, Monroe, Logan and Henry Clay councilsof Ala- meda County of the Junior Order United American Mechanics. Delegates were also present from California and Martha Washington councils of the Daughters of Liberty. Mark Lane presided, with Charles W. Baker acting as secretary. Encouraging reports were received from the various sub-committees. The literary committee reported that Professor Fred G. Plummer and F. H. Heath, the Former the Noted Weather Prophet and Author. [Sketched from life by a “Call’ artist.] fessor George Davidson, the noted engi- neer and astronomer of this City. The conferences were long, and an air of mys- tery prevailed. Not a word could be ob- tained as to the momentous propositions that were being evolved. Professor Plummer, who will be remem- besed as the man who lately added a few | feet to Mount Tacoma by a n2w process of figuring, and who has been quoted at dii- ferent times as a weather prophet, was 1n- terviewed, as well as his co-worker, Mr. Heath. They said it was actually true that they were working on a very import- ant matter, but that they were not yet ready to give the details of 1t. It now appears that they propose to re- produce the earth and all the constella- tions, including Saturn, Mars, the Milky Way;} in fact the whole heavens. The aurora borealis is also to form a prominent factor, and there are to be falling stars with all the other auxiliaries going to rep- resent existing creation. The whole is to be exhibited in a build- ing covering two acres at the forthcoming Canadian Dominion Exposition at Mont- real. The reason for the secrecy main- tained, it appears, is because of the desire to secure certain patents. Professor Plummer _was formerly in- | structor in the Annie Wright Seminary at Tacoma, one of the leading institutions of that class in the north. He recently wrote a book of a scientific character dealing with the motions of the earth. He has been spoken of as a weather-sharp and as a man calculated, in some respects, to rival the Signal Service. In his reproduction of the earth and heavens he will show the canals which the famous astronomer, Camille Flammarion, maintains have probably been constructed by the Martial inhabitants. The follow- ing special dispatch sets forth the project of the scientists at length: TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 29.—“The heavens simplified, or the universe in miniature; an SxhIbit b Wn' origIneT: interesting and structive character,” is what Fred G. Plummer, W. R. Andrus and F. H. Heath are engaged in and who have organized & company with a capital stock of $100,000 for the purpose of displaying their invention. prominent theosophist. Some months ago he wrote & book on ‘‘The Change of the Earth’s Axis,” attempting the proof of & subject of Plummer is a which the most learnedscientists are ignorant. Speaking of the new enterprise to & CALL rep- resentative one of the company said: “The name of the noveity is" the mazzaroth, a Hebrew term meas ug the constellations or nd, in its broader sense, ens.’ It wiil be under- stood from the definition of the name that the exhibit is of an astronomical chsracter and such that tha intelligent visitor will come out with & thorough understanding of the mov ments and physical characteristics of the hea enly bodies 50 far as is known to modern sci- ence. “A fair example of the features of the show as found in the representation of the ‘moon," this seemingly fickle and to most people mys- terious sphere, will be made simple by an ilin- minated plaster cast, ten feet in diameter, and sc arranged as to_show all the mountains, cra- ters, seabeds and other physical details with accuracy. The planet Saturn, with its rings, nni‘l Mars will be shown with what we call ca- nals. “In fact, the urnniemenu will be so perfect the spectator will imagine himself off the earth. The method of illumination of the moon will be snch that all phases will be shown preclae?'uthny take place. Stars will glim- mer and twinkle, and here will be shown all the arrangements of stars, such as the big dip- per and littie dipper. There will be shooting meteors, comets and the northern wonder, the aurora borealis, with its thousends of colors. Further particulars about the invention and exhibition cannot be given until we have secured our patent on the same.” ‘I'be work is the creation and conception of Professor Plummer and his associates, and will be placed on exhibition on & very elaborate scade at the British Empire Exxzmion, which will open in Montreal on May 24 of this year and continue for five months. The capital stock of the company has all been subseribed. The building 1n which the exhibit will be placed will be of ancient and historically correct design, and will cover two acres of ground. The idea is somewhat new and noyel, and works somewhat on the prin- ciple of illusions as far as the illuminations are concerned, but- the objects seen are real and not reflected. Scientists will be surprised and sttracted to it. Professor Davidson of San Francisco will con- duct the necessary drawings for the exhibit, which will entail a great deal of work. KING'S DAUGHTERS BENEFIT. The Charity Company to Give ‘*7—20—8" at the Auditorium. Itis probable thatthe Columbia Thea- | ter management will open the Auditorium, | for which it closed the lease yesterday, with the presentation of ‘‘7—20—8" for the benefit of the King’s Daughters’ Home for Incurables. Mrs. Richard Brown, the secretary, and Mrs, Belle Lemon, the matron of that in- stitution, were in consultation with Mr. Friealander of the Columbia yesterday, and it was decided that the benefit wouf:i be givenrr within a fortnight, either at the well-known %ls{hmuo or at the larger building which it has just leased for its bxg. opera engagements. he King's Daughters’ Home for In- 0dd Fellows’ Hall had been procured for the afternoon and evening. The exercises in the aiternoon as outlined by the com- mittee will consist of an address by the State Councilor of the Junior O. U. A, M., H. C. Schaertzer of this City; an oration by a well-known orator, also songs, recita- tions and musicel selections. In the even- ing a reunion will be held by the Junior 0. U. A. M. and Daughters of Liberty. The parade committee reported that the parade was an assured success. A grand marshal ‘will be selected at the next meet- ing of the committee. An invitation has been tendered to Governor Budd and Mayor Sutro to at- tend tiie exercises. California Comman- dery has been offered the'right of line in the parade. The general committee of the Young Men’s Institute in charge of the arrange- ments for the celebration of Young Men’s Institute day on February 22, held a meet- ing at Y. M. I. Hall, corner of Tenth and Market streets, on Monday evening. The committee on decorations reported that an offer from M. O’Suliivan to paint a portrait of Washington for the decoration of Metropolitan Temlple on the occasion had been accepted. The programme com- mittee reported that an inferesting pro- ramme was being prepared and much rst-class talent hug volunteered to assist. J. W. Shanahan and Frank McGlynn were added to the committee on literary exercises. A lengthy discussion took place as to the advisability of having a celebration to be held in the Mission under the auspices of the several councils there, but the proposition was finally voted down. Tickets of’ admission will be provided for the admittance of aduits only to the exercises in Metropolitan Temple. James E. Britt, Samuel Haskins and Edward R. Myrick were appointed a com- mittee to select vice presidents. A REPUBLICAN- REUNION Enjoyable Meeting of the Thirty- Fourth Assembly Dis- trict Club. Speeches by William Donovan and J. S. Swan—Literary and Musi- cal Programme. Much enthusiasm was manifested at last night’s meeting of the Thirty-fourth As- sembly District Republican Club. The or- ganization is new as yet, but itd weekly meetings in the Masonic Hall, at the inter- section of Sixteenth and Valencia streets, are well attended and full of interest. As at present organized the officers of the club are: President, 1. J, Truman; vide-president, H. J. Burns; secretary, D. B.Bowley; treasurer, A.F. Adams; sergeant-at-arms, C. H. Brink. Executive committee—C. H. Joyce, I. Schneider, L. Fishbeck. A.W. Green, H. W. Adams, C. E. Foster, H. H. Leslie, R. 8. Allen, eeo:§; Phil- 1ips, €7 0. Purdy, M. V. Taglor, James Haslett, Dr. W. L. Hilion, H. J. Burns, A. Lennon, Thomas Myles, H. E. Snook, A. F. Adams, E. I, Robinson and the president and secretary of the club, ex-officio. The first speaker last hight was William Donovan, well known as an eloquent po- litical orator. His address, though bref, was to the point, and dealt principally with the importance of each citizen doing his best to vote for the most deserving candidate and ally himself with the safest and most patriotic political party. J. 8. Swain made a stirring speech, in which he paid a few peppery compliments to the newspapers, with the exception of TuE CALL, scoring them roundly as utter failures so far as they pretend to be the educators of the masses. Political corrup- tion in high places also came in for a share in Mr. Swan’s righteous indignation, and he certainly did not spare the lash. The Hon. William S. Barnes was to have addressed the meeting, but being suddenly called away from the éity on business was obliged to send an excuse. Before the adjournment Messrs. Swan and Sweeny favored the gathering with a number of entertaining declamations and vocal selections, adding much to the inter- est of the affuir. —————————— Railroad Case Postponed. The argument in the case of the Southern Pacific to enjoin the Railroad Commission from putting its grain rate reduction resolu- tion into effect has again been postponed by United States Circuit Judge McKenna, this 16 or 17, though the time to about Februa date has not been definitely set. The reason for th that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals will meet on Mondsy and will re- main in session some time.

POSSIBLY COMMITTED SVICIPE. Discovered by His Wife in His Room When He Was Almost Dead, Alphonze Russell Warren, formerly foreman of the Chronicle composing- rooms, was found almost dead in his bed at his home, 620 Folsom street, at 11 A, M. yesterday, with the gas in his room on in full force. He died shortly atter being dis- covered. Whether his death was by accident or suicide may never be known, as he was unconscious when found and he left no explanation. Itis supposed that he committed sui- cide, because he had been drinking and not working of late. Warren was one of the best typographical foremen in the City. Itis said that he could “size up”’ a piece of work quicker and more accurately than any other man in his time, but drink was his weakness. For over a decade he was foreman of the Chronicle. He assumed charge of the typesetting department of that newspaper about 1875. Love of liquor cost him his position, and after he ceased to be fore- man he worked setting type, and finally drifted into C. A. Murdock & Co.’s print- ing establishment. He conciuded to try the Keeley cure at Los Gatos about two jyéars ago. This seemed to stop his appetite for liquor, and Warren went to work for Walter N. Brunt at 535 Clay street as superintendent. He remained with Mr. Brunt about a year and a half. Two weeks before last Thanks. giving he started out to see 1f he could drink the same as before taking the Keeley cure. He wanted to experiment with himself, and he fell. The result was that he lost his position with Mr. Brunt, and since then he has been despondent and drinking heavil)'. Duringrthe early '60’s Warren was given a jobon THE CALL, when this newspaper had its editorial and composing-rooms on Commercial street. Alex Smith, a well- known typo, was the means of getting him this work. Smith recommended Warren to the foreman at that time, Thomas Reed, as a good man to set up the shipping column. ‘Warren was a marvel to Reed. He had only one error in his type the first night, and that was an inverted letter. The death of Warren recalls the suicides of his two assistanis on the Cnronicle, William Meldrum and Charles Potter. Meldrum succeeded Warren in the fore- manship of the Chronicie. In April, 1887, Meldrum borrowed a dollar, purchased a bottle of chloral hydrate, went_to his room at the corner of Bush and Kearny streets and swallowed the contents. Pot- ter committed suicide in Seattle by tak- ing strychnine. He purchased the poison with borrowed money also, a half-doliar. Warren succeeded Harry Rodgers as foreman for Brunt when Rodgers secured the foremanship of the State printing establishment at Sacramento. His father was prominent in the fifties as Captain ‘Warren. The Typographical Union of this City will take charge of Warren’s funeral. ‘Warren was 60 years of age. He leaves no children. PRINCE CARNIVAL'S BALL, Hopkins Institute Is Being Pre- pared for the Grand Mardi Gras. Society Is Arranging for One of the . Best Affairs Ever Given by the Association. The Mardi Gras ball to be given at the Hopkins Art Institute on February 18 promises to be one of the tinest affairs ever arranged in San Francisco. Tickets admitting gentleman or gentle- man and lady will sell for $10, and single lady’s ticket for $5. Supper privileges are included. The preparations are already beginning and promise to bring forth some unique results. The driveway on the Mason-street en-~ trance is to be brilliantly lighted with elec- tric lights strung all around the evergreen hedges and run clear around the mansion to the Stanford side. Guests are expected to enter from Mason street, where the ladies and gentlemen will separate at the doorway and pass on either side of the main staircase to their separate dressing- rooms, after which they will meet in the different rooms set aside for dancers. Sub- committees will be on guard at the doors to prevent the admission of any objectiona- ble characters. The musicians will occupy elevated plat- forms suspended from the ceilings. Thirty pieces, divided into two different orches- tras, will furnish the music. Names may be submitted to the execu- tive committee for invitations and only names that are approved will receive tickets, which must be presented by per- sons whose names are written upon them. The tule as to masking is the same as that which has obtained in other seasons: Ladies must wear masks, without which they will not have the privilege of the floor, and masking is optional with gen- tlemen; but it is rticularly requested that both ladies and gentlemen wear cos- tume and thus contribute to the artistic character of the entertainment. Officers of thearmy, navy and National Guard are requested to wear their uni- forms. The grand march will begin promptly at 9 . M., led by Prince Carnival and his suite. The various committees will consist of the following named members of the as- sociation: Executive committee—James D. Phelan, Edward Bosqui, Joseph B. Crockett, Horace G. Platt, Louis Sloss Jr., Willlam Keith, Fred- erick W. Zeile, Henry Heyman, Henry J. Crocker, Arthur Rodgerts. Committee on music—Henry Heyman, L. P, Latimer, Mrs. Alice B. Chittenden.
