THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 1896. - LOBK'S REIGH AT SAN JOSE. The City Preparing for the Raid of Carnival Visitors. DONNING A GAY ATTIRE Dwellings and Business Blocks to Be Hidden by Buds and Blossoms. FEATURES OF THE PAGEANT. Unique and Handsome Floats Will Be in Line—Field Sports and Cycling Races. SAN JOSE, CAL., April 4.—The carnival of roses to be held in this city May 6,7, 8 | and 9 will be a grand affair and promises to surpass all former floral fetes on this coast in ificence and extent. Acres of flowers have been planted for the carni- val and the whole valley will be a sea of | bloom when the floral fete opens. Im- menge arches will be erected across the principal streets decorated with vari-colored bunting and he electric light tower, over 200 will be covered with vinesand d be a feature of the decora- The thounsands of visitors to this ing the fete will witness a sight of grandeur and magnificence. The exercises at the big pavilion at Ag- nicultural Park will be of a highly enter- taining and novel character. On Wednes- day afternoon, 1n the presence of Governor dd anda staff, the pavilion will be for- y dedicated with President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University as president of the day and orator. In the there will be a concert by a band y pieces, the music being illustrated stereopticon views. Thursday there will be a polo game between Riverside and Burlingame in the : and in the evening a grand dress in the pavilion and musical selections by the La Favorita Mandolin Club of fifty pieces. Friday will be Stanford day and e entertainment will be varied, while the 1 will be as fast and furious as a thou- d students can make it. There wil! be bicycle races on Saturday, and in the evening the carnival will close with a masquerade fete, including a grotesque ¥ de ending at the pavilion, where danc- ing will follow. A striking feature of the fete will be the vast display of flowers of unlimited va- risty and varied hue. The principal deco- rations will be flowers, and - the floats, the vehicles in the parade, the buildings ana the streets will all be resplendent with the choicest blossoms of nature, and the effect upon the visitor to this spot of perpetual spring will be amazing. The city will take on a gala attire. The Idings will be handsomely decorated, and stringers bearing American flags and carnival colors will be thrown across the streets. The red, white and blue will be floating everywhere. An official carnival flag to be of immense size is being de- signed. It will contain the colors witha great rose and the word ‘“Welcome," and will be displayed by all the prominent business houses. A number of arches will be erected at various points in the city that will rival in size and grandeur anything of the kind ever before attempted on the coast. The “Arch of the Carnival” will be erected on the Alameda, just east of the narrow- gauge depot. This will span that wide thoroughfare and the pavements and leave three openings. The aesign will be ap- propriate to the mammoth proportions of the arch. Especial pains will be taken to make the arches at the railway depots effective in appearance, so that visitors from abroad will receive a good impres- sion on their arrival in the city. That across First street, opposite Bassett, will be imposing in appearance. It will be called the ‘‘Ladies’ Arch of Welcome.” The background will be white, surmounted by a beautiful female figure. The arch will be decorated elaborately with fioral wreaths contributed by the ladies of 8an Jose. Itis certain thata very novel and beautifnl effect will be produced. There will be other arches on Third and Santa Clara, San Antonio and First streets, in the business center of the city. Thereistobea pleasing variety inthe forms and decora- tions of the arches. Each will have a dif- ferent design, and the line of march will be so arranged as to pass under all of them. Besifes the floral decorations they will be made brilliant with the carnival colors, fiags and lanterns. It is the design to make the arches the important features that they should be in the decoration of the city for the great fete. The carnival will open on May 6 with a grand floral parade over two miles long. There will be over fifty floats in line, rep- resenting every feature of the county—its industries, its schools and its natural re- sources. The parade will consist of five divisions, each headed by a band, and, in addition, most of the deleeations from the surrounding towns will have musical or- ganizations with them. A feature of the parade will be two troops of floral lancers, the horses and riders being covered with floral trappings. Each rider will carry a floral lance. A large number of beautifully decorated T-carts, dogearts, coaches and other fancy rigs driven by prominent ladies and gen- tlemea of the city will be in line. A num- ber of the ladies are already enthusiasti- cally at work. The horses as well as the vehicles will be covered with floral orna- flowers and the town will be| J. H.

Greeninger, Cha Carnival of Roses. irman of Executive Committee of over $2000 in sight the executive commit- tee of the Healdsburg Floral Association met at the City Hall lsst night, and ar- rangements for the three days’ fiesta took definite shape. The various sub-commit- tees were present, all asking for big appro- priations 1o carry on the work, and all were pleased with the amounts allowed. The decorative commuttee report was the first considered. The electrical du%h;y this year is to be unique. A huge five- pointed star will extend over the plaza in the center of the business portion of town, and blue and gold lights—carnival colors— will make the night bright as day. The other floral decorations will be many and beautiful. Standing exhibits will be shown in the Wigwam Theater, while the opera- house will be used for dances and enter- tainments. The amusement committee hasarranged fora tilling tournament, balloon ascension, horseracing and athletic sports, including two days’ bicycle meet. e new track at Luce’s Park will be ready in time and Sec- retary J. J. Livernash of the Healdsburg Wheelmen has received the sanction of the L. A. W. for the meeting. Liberal Pprizes are to be offered and it is expected that all the fast riders of the district will be in attendance. The tilting tournament was a feature of last year’s fiesta and will attract much interest this time. Bands in plenty will be engaged and not less than four musical organizations are to be represented in the floral parade. The contest for queen is now on in earnest, and until the close will be a battle royal. To-night Miss Alice Haigh leads Miss Edna Biddle by the slight margin of ten votes, while Mrs. C. A. Thilo, the Cloverdale candidate, is in third place. mentation. One of the most beautiful ob- jects in this line will be the family car- riage of John R. Chace of Santa Cruz, which will be magnificently decorated in yellow. % > All the public schools in San Jose and the surrounding districts, St. Joseph's School and the University of the Pacific will have floats in the parade. All ofthem will be original and beautiful in design. The Horace Mann School will have a spa- cious float in line, upon which a number v attired children will dance around y-pole. The evolutions that they 1l perform with ribbons of the carnival colors will be intricate and beautiful, and no doubt this float will attract much ad- miring attention on the line of march. The Sunol-street School, in Hester Dis- {rict, is preparing a magnificent float at great expense. An immense swan will be harnessed to a floatboat. The float will be drawn by six handsome coal-black norses. Other schools are making similar arrangements for splendid displays. An idea of the extent of the floats that are under preparation may be gained trom a consideration of the space they would oc- cupy if they were placed one after another as closely as they could move in line. The floats and horses would, under these con- ditions, make a line over a half mile in length. Itis certain that the parade will not be less than two miles in length, and it is im- probable that it will be kept within that Iimit. It is scarcely possible to imagine the effect from any given point of this large and brilliant passing spectacle, to in- clude many beauatiful floats and decorated rigs, gayly uniformed and flower-bedecked school-children, civic societies, companies of floral lancers, bands of music and drum corps, all intermingled with innumerable flags and banners. There can be no possi- ble doubt that this will be the most mag- nificent parade ever presented at a floral festival on the coast. The 4000 school children in the proees- sion will wear uniforms consisting of caps and sashes in addition to floral garlands and wreaths. The caps are to have a crown of white, red bands and blue visors, thus making up the carnival colors. The sashes are to be red, white and blue. The children are also being drilled. Girls in vari-colored costumes are to be grouped in the march so as to produce striking and beautiful effects that will attract as much admiring attention as the floats and other features. A magnificent exhibit is beinz prepared by the Santa Clara County Floral Society. No expense is being spared, and at least 15,000 roses of one variety alone will be | consumed in this display. The float of | the Board of Trade wilY be one of the most | elaborate and beautiful spectacles in the line of march. It is intended to move the great parade at noon sharp on Wednesday, the opening day of the carnival. As it passes the Courthouse, going northward towara the Hotel Vendome, it will be viewed by the prize committee. On the return the ladies driving the finest appearing turn- outs will be presented with awards in the shape of banners. The school children presenting the best appearance 1n line will also receive awards. On returning to the Courthouse these on foot will leave the line and assemble in St. James Park, where they will be permitted to view the rest of the pageant as it encircles the park and then disbands. The floats thatcan be kept bright and fresh for two or three days, or whose decorations are renewed, will be kept on exhibition the rest of the week at Agricultural Park. During the carnival there will be a con- stant round of fun and amusement fur- nished by the entertainment committee. The attraction for Thursday afternoon— the polo game in which the noted River- side and Burlingame teams will compete— will take place at Agricultural Park. The grounds are now being prepared for the game. It will attract a Jarge number of society people from San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Oakland, Alameda, Sacramento and other points. On Thursday evening, when the grand dress bail of the carnival is to be given at the pavilion, the decorations of the inte- rior are to be especially elaborate and ex- quisite. On Friday—Stanford day—the entire student body of over 1000 persons will come to the City on a special train, leav- ing the station at Palo Alto about 9 o'clock. Upon arriving at San Jose the students will form in procession, and headed by the university band of thirty- five pieces, will march through the princi- pal streets. Features of the procession will be a unique float representative of the university buildings, and carriages, drawn by the students, containing Dr. Jordan and other members of the faculty. The afternoon will be given up to athletic events, for which training has already be- un. There will be a regular field day, the ist of events being the same as at the Eastern intercollegiate track meets. This will be participated in by the Stanford athletes and representatives from other athletic organizations on the coast, and will include a 100-yard dash, 220-yard, 440-yard, 800-yard and one-mile rums, shotputting, hammer-throwing and pole- vaulting. Besidesthese there will be a 100- yard dash, open only to students from academic schools, and a 220-yard dash, closed to Santa Clara County. A number of the events will be handicaps, which will add to the interest from a spectator’s point of view. Among the sports will be a game of THE FLOAT WHICH WILL REPRJSENT SANTA CLARA COLLKGE FAIR ASPIRANTS FOR QUEEN | NLY HONORS AT SAN ! g o % JOSE.

Owners of a Steamer Line to Stockton In- vesting in Coal—Huntington's Blow at San Francisco. SEATTLE, WasH., April 4.—I. S. Bost- wick of Stockton, one of California’s rich men, is in Seattle negotiating for big coal mines in King County. He is one of the principal stockholders of the California Navigation and Improve- ment Company, which operates a line of steamers between San Francisco and Stock- ton, and he seeks to secure cheap fuel for the operation of these vessels. Mr. Bostwick’s principal object, however, is to place himself in a position to be able to supply coal to interior California towns, and especially those along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Many schooners, which have been driven off the rivers as freight carriers by the successful operation of barges, Mr. Bostwick says, will be utilized largely this spring and summer in transporting coal from Washington to California, and there will follow in consequence of the ad- dition of these carriers a general reduction in freight rates between San Francisco and Puoget Sound cities. The Stocktonian would ship his coal from here in schooners, transferring in San Francisco to barges, and thence up the rivers into the interior of the State. During a discussion as to the business outlook in California and the fight that State is makine to wrest itself from Huntington’s grasp Mr. Bostwick ob- served that San Francisco was los- ing much trade and busiuess to Los Angeles; that Huntington, by way of re- talliation for the fight San Francisco was making against the Enssage of the fund- ing bill, was doing what he could to boom the Southern metropolis. When assed what he thought of the out- look for defeating the funding scheme, Mr. Bostwick declared that it would be much more favorable if there were not so many Congressmen for sale. r gt ot CRAZED BY A PORTLAND CRIME. 2he Widow of Murdered George Sayres Sent to an Asylum. PORTLAND, Or., April 4—Mrs. Maria Bayres, the widow of George M. Sayres, who was murdered by *Bunko” Kelly, was committed to an insane asylum to- day. The cause of insanity is said to have baseball between picked nines of Stanford | and the University of California. The festivities of the day will end with an en- tertainment at the pavilion in the evening y the Stanford musical organizations. The Stanford Glee Club, the Mandolin Club, the Banjo Club and the Ladies’ Man- i dolin Club will take part, this being the | first time that these organizations have all | united in one entertainment. There will also be a typical college rush on the stage. On theaiternoon of §nturdny, the closing day of the carnival, there will be a blue- ribbon bicycle meet under the auspices of the Garden City Cyclers. This will be the grand opening for the season of bicycling racing events, and all the crackajacks of the State will take part. Seldom have cyclers generally looked forward to a meet with so much eagerness, and there is an assurance that it will be the most notable affair ever given under the auspices of the Garden City Cyclers on their famous track. The carnival will close on Saturday night in a fitting manner with a season of mirth and mystery. There will be masks and music, and pleasing spectacles will be intermingled with grotesque in a be- wildering manner. Itisin contemplation to have a burlesgua Queen parade that will furnish no end of wild amusement to the multitude. There will be a number of comical floats and characters. The line of march will end at the pavilion, where will be held the carnival mask ball. In this manner the great fete will be mirthfully closed. The San Jose Turn Verein is taking an active interest 1n the great festival. Itwill take part in the parade and have a mag- nificent float in line. During the four evenings of the carnival the Turners will give entertainments at their hall, On Wednesday evening there will be a grand vocal concert, in which three of the glee clubs of Ban Jose, representing, with the chorus, over 100 voices, will partici- pate. On the second evening there will be a gymnastic exhibition by the classes un- der the physical director, Professor H. Rit- ter. On the third evening a number of farces will be rendered in English and German by she best talent in the city. Baturday, the closing evening of the carni- val, will be All Fools’ night at Turn Ve- rein Hall. It will be a_season of unadul- terated enjoyment such as has seldom or never been experienced by the fun-lovers of San Jose. The big pavilion 1n which the carnival exercises will be beld is 125x200 feet in di- mensions. The seating capacity in the gallery will be 2400. The main floor, ex- clusive of the space allotted to booths, will seat 3500. This will make a total seating capacity of 5000, with good standing room for at least 500 more.. hen the pavilion is used for a convention hall and the booths are not occupied and that space can be utilized for seating purposes, the structure will have aseating capacity of 7000 per- sons. This, with the standing room, will give the hall acapacity for 7500 people. The decorations in the pavilion will be magnificent. Evergreen boughs will form the background of the decorations. Immense quantities of the beautiful red- wood foliage will be used. Upon this the floral decorations can be changed daily. This effect of green s a background for the other colors is the same seen in nature and could not be improved upon. The pillars and other portions of the building will be profusely decorated with roses on the opening day. On the other days there will be decorations of sweet peas, mari- golds and other flowers, To make impres- sive effects there will be great masses of the same kinds of flowers in all available itions. Banks of flowers of gorgeous ue like marigolds, for instance, will pro- duce striking effects. z The great ceiling of the pavilion, 125x200 feet 1n size, will be 8 wide expanse of ever- green and floral display. The effect can be better imagined than described, and the reality will far exceed all expectations. Around the great stage a beautiful sun-, burst effect will be produced with flowers of different colors.

A New Candidate Appears in the Santa Rosa Contest. SANTA ROSA, Carn, April 4.—The rumor that Guerneville would send in a big block of votes for a well-known and handsome young lady of that place has added interest to the carnival queen con- test for the past week. Each time the vote has been counted the committee has looked in vain for the Redwood vote that would put all other candidates in the shade. To-night, when the box was opened, there was a large for- eign-looking envelope on tep of the heap. On being opened this was found to contain a certified check for a sum' equal to 335 votes. But it was not from Guerneville. It was from that other enterprising little town in the redwoods—Occidental—and the committee was instructed to formally enter in_the contest the name of Miss Jessica Kloppenberg of Occidental and to cast the 335 votes for that youn§ lady as “a small starter” in the race for regal honors. % Miss Kloppenberg is said to be the most opular I ¥on the narrow-gauge railroad rom Sausalito to Cazadero, and one en- thusiastic residert of Coleman Valley is offering to-night to back the newcomer against the ‘'field”’ forany amount. ore than 100 votes were counted for Miss Sara Hall to-day, but the lead is still retained bv Mrs. L.W.

Bhe hears voices and says she is under the advice of spirits, and she is sleepless and excitable. Mrs. Sayres has also wor- ried over the suit of the late George W. Sayres against william O. Allen, on ac- count of the Southern Portland Brick Com- pany, to recover about $8000. It was to prevent Sayres from appearing in the suit, that his murder was planned and executed. Mrs. Sayres was the main witness upon whom the prosecution relied for the conviction of “Bunko” Kelly, and now, should the assassin be granted a new trial, his chances for light sentence would be greatly enhanced because of the widow’s insanity. Lawyer X. N. Steeves, the chief conspirator in this murder, is yet lying in the county jail, pending a new trial, Mrs. Sayres’ insanity will also aid his case. At his first trial, Mrs. Sayres con- tributed the preponderance of testimony leading to his conviction of manslaughter. L erd AR1ZONA’S NEW RULER. Acting Governor Bruce’s Axe Is Cutting Off Official Heads. PHENIX. Ar1z., April 4—Acting Gov- ernor Bruce’s ax is beginning to work, and already four heads arein the basket. In addition to the resignation of Eldridge Cordan, the private secretary of the Gov- ernor, two others have been asked for and handed in. Miss Wilna Sturges of Pheenix has held the position of Spanish interpreter since July last at & salary of $500 per year. Her resignation was accepted and filed away by acting Governor Bruce to-day. The law providing for this office was passed years ago, when half the popula tion of the Territory was Mexican; but of late years there has been no need of such an official, and it has come to be consid- :}-ed asa sort of perquisite of the execu- ive. At one time Governor Hughes’ private cretary held the position and drew the Sfihry, and one of the charges brought against Hughes was that he appropriated this money to himself. Later the Gov- ernor’s daughter was interpreter. SN JOSE GOSPEL WO Evangelist Adams at the Head of a Unique Religious Movement. Preachers and Gocd Vocalists to Visit Remote Sections of the State in Wagons. SAN JOSE, Cav., April 4.—Rev. H. E. Adams, an evangelist who resides in this city, has inaugurated a new religious movement, to be known as the Gospel Wagon Mission. It will be similar to the chapel-car work carried on by the Baptists. Each wagon will carry two workers, one of whom must be a good singer and able to play on some instrument, and all needed helps, as papers, Bibles, pictures, prints, etc., will be carried along. Mr. Adams estimates that there are 360,000 people living in_sections of this State that have no religious privileges, and it is to reach this class that the wagon mission has been organized. It isexpected that at least forty wagons will be touring the remote sections of the State in a short time. A meeting of those interested in tha movement will be held to-morrow even- ing. Wanted at Livermore. SAN JOSE, CAL., April 4.—John Jones was arrested at his home in this city this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Gardner on a complaint issued at Livermore, charging him with obtaining $30 from D. P. Wash- burn of that place under false pretenses. About four months ago Jones purchased a team from P. H. Boggs in Stockton, agreeing to pay for it in monthly install- ments of $20. A few weeks afterward Jones went to Livermore, whence he sub- sequently sent Boggs $10 on account. Jones sold the team to Washburn for $30 about two months ago and came to this city. Assoonas Boggs heard of the sale of the team he began suit against Wash- burn to recover the horses, and Washburn swore to a complaint charging Jones with obtaining money under ialse pretenses. He will be taken to Livermore on Monday. —————— Opera-House Company Incorporated. SAN JOSE, CaL., April 4.—Articles in- corporating the San Jose Opera-house Company were filed in the Clerk’s office to-day.

OREGON CITY, Or., April 4. — An- thony, aged 15 years, and Thomas, aged 13, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Casper Endres, were drowned in Moss Lake this after- noon. The little fellows were upon an old raft, which they had rowed across the lake with a piece of board. As they approached the shore on the re- turn trip the raft, which bad sideboards around the top, began to take on water and the boys became irightened and jumped overboard. The water was deeper than they supposed, and they drowned within two rods of the shore. NEW TO-DAY. b 4 "7"\\% N f One’s physical feelings, like the faithful setter, search and point out plainly the fact of disease or health. If a man is not feeling well and vigorous —if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he is listless, nervous, sleepless, he certainly is not well. The down hill road from health to sickness is smooth and declines rapidly. At the first intimation of disease, the wise man takes a é)ure, simple vegetable tonic. It puts his digestion into good ac- tive order and that puts the rest of his body in order. The medicine that will do this is a medicine that is good to take in any trouble of the blood, the digestion, or the respiration, no matter how serious it may have become. he medicine to take is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discove?‘ It is a remar] able remedy. It cures diseases in a per- fectly natural way, without the use of strong drugs. It cures by helping Nature, It has a peculiar tonic effect on the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels. By putting these membranes into healthy condition, stimulating the secretion of the various digestive juices and furnishing to the blood the proper &ufifying Pproperties, it reaches out over the whole body and drives disease-germs before it into the usual excretory channels. It builds up firm muscular flesh, makes the skin and the eyes bright. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has been found wonderfully efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases—eczema, tetter, erysipelas, salt-theum—from com- mon pu:r‘l.es or blotches to the worst case of scrofi
