On the opening day of the carnivai roses will form the chief dec- orations, and the pillars and otber por- tions of the building will be profusely cov- ered by these flowers. On the other days there will be decorations of sweet peas, marigolds and other figwers. To make im- pressive effects there will be great masses same kind of flowers in all available positions. Banks of flowers of gorgeous hue like marigolds, for instance, will pro- duce striking effects. The great ceiling of the pavilion will be a wide expanse of evergreen and floral dis- play. The eftect can be better imagined | than described, and the reality will far ex- ceed all expectations. Around the siage a beautiful sunburst effect will be produced with flowers of different colors. This de- sign is especially artistic, it being in so prominent a position in front of the great multitude that will throng the hall during the four days of the fete. B There will also be many flags, carnival colors and bunting generally in the inter- ior of the building. The exterior will be elaborately decorated with evergreens, i The pavilion, as being the center of interest in the carnival, fwill fuily realige in appearance the high ant pation that the people of San Jose and the visitors from abroad may form of it. Work on the Arch of Carnival on the Alameda, near the narrow-gauge depot, has begun, and during the coming week the erection of the other arches will be commenced. There will be other arches at Third and Santa Clara streets, First and San Antonio streets and on First and Bas- sett streets, near the broad-gauge devot. Besides these it is believed there will be several arches erected by private citizens. The arch on First and Bassett streets will be very fine and of an imposing nature. It will be called the Ladies’ Archof Wel- come. The background will be white, sur- mounted by a beautiful female figure. The SAN LUIS THE NATIVES' MECCA Becomes the Golden West for a Week. VISITORS POURING IN. Given a Hearty Greeting by the Citizens of the Town. ADVENTURES ON THE ST. PAUL Three Exciting Incidents Attend the Voyage of a Party of Delegates. S8AN LUIS OBISPO, CaL., April 26.—A little railroad runsin from thesea, making its way fourteen miles among the hills, There is a railroad from the north, with the Capital of| stopped. It was, of course, only the usual fire dnll, which is practiced on every voy- age of the steamer to keep the officers and crew well trained in the lowering of the boats and in fire duty. But there was an entirely unexpected outcome of this drill. Down in the steerage were six big, brawny man-of-warsmen from Admiral Beardslee's flagship, the Philadelphia. These exceptionally able seamen had served their time in the navy, and still in their blue uniforms, they were on their way to San Francisco, either to ship again or be discharged. After remaining three hours ashore at Santa Barbara they had brought a supply of beverages aboard the ship and the sup- ply was about exhausted when the fire alarm was sounded. The sailors knew the signal and every man of them went up the ladderway as only a sailor can. On deck they found officers and crew briskiy getting the boats ready to lower, and not comprehending that it was only a driil they jumped at the ropes. One of them lost his round Jettered cap overboard in the exciting rush. One additional sailor of the flagship variety at each boat made the drill a highly successiul one, but it was a wonder that the boate did not get into the water before the earnest work of the big marines could be stopped. At Gaviota, where the St. Paul touched last evening, the Brazilian gypsies were encountered. The gypsies were encamped near the wharf and they besieged the ship, begging vociferously, even ferociously, in Spanish. They declared that their chil- dren were starving, and they had as large an assortment of youngsters as could be found on any road. They clamored for money, and if a man gave them a nickel they insisted on getting silver. A dime only emboldened them to ask in their ap- JWOSvaN PABT PRESIDENT MR De LA GyERRA RES. 195 Os°s ParweR.

Judge Otis rendered a decision which remanded Judge Huse to the Highlands institution. The case has been stubbornly fought from the first; no similar hearing in aay court bas ever been more thoroughly in- vestigated, and in the opinion, whicl Judge Otis was an hour in delivering, reviewed everyfieature of the case, disp ing of the grounds on which the petition was founded and ended by denying the writ. Judge Otis stated that all other consider- ations would be laid aside in the decision except the question as to whether Judge Huse was now insane and, if so, whether to an extent that would make it unwise to release him. The court took up the vari- ous delusions attributed to Judge Huse, and admitted them one by one. Judge Otis declined to class the belief on the part of Judge Huse that he had vast property interests as a delusion, for the reason that it had not been proved to be a mistake. When it came to the question of the broken ribs which Huse insistea he sustained at Highlands, Judge Otis said that from the testimony of physic was a delusion, since an examination de- veloped no evidence of such injury. The court elaborated on some of the other aileged delusions, upon the habits and idiosyncrasies of Judge Huse, and finally gave it as his opinion that it would be unwise to release him. At the same time Judge Otis stated that he had rareiy seen in court or elsewhere such a remark- able memory and evidence of strong men- tality, and few attorneys at the bar were able to conauct an examination with more ability or state s legal point more clearly than had the insane jurist. SAN JOSE'S FLORAL HALL The Great Carmival of Roses Pavilion Ready for the Opening. Tons of Flowers of Every Hue and Variety Used in the Deco- rations. SAN JOSE, Cav., April 26.—The great Carnival of Roses Pavilion is about com- pleted, and will be tormally ovened Friday evening by a ball by the Knights of Pyth- ias. The pavilion is 125 by 200 feet in di- mensions and was erected at a cost of $10,000. The main floor, exclusive of the space allotted to booths, will seat 3500, and the gallery will seat 2400 more. With the booths removed there will be a seating capacity of 7500. It is provided with a stage of 75 feet frontuge and a depth of 36 feet. The pavition will be magnificently dec- orated for the carnival.

MERCED, CaL., Aprit 26.—J. H. Red- mond, Coroner of Mariposa County, was here to-day, on his way to San Luis Obispo to attend the Grand Parlor of Native Sons. He had just returned from | | near the Yosemite Valley, whither he had been called to hold an inquest on the body of J. B. Lambert, the entomologist, who was found dead in his cabin last Sunday by Indians. The inquest developed the fact that Lambert died from a gunshot wound in the head. From the condition of the body it is surmised that he had been dead about two weeks. The one who com- mitted the murder closed and locked the cabin door on the outside with a padlock. it is bard- to assign a motive for the deed, as Lambert was a poor man and was quiet and inoffensive, having had mo known enemies. His neighbors charze the murder to Indians, Lambert was a ehum of John Muir when the latter was pursuing his studies of the glaciers in the Yosemite Valley some vears ago. e el WEDDED AT CLOVERDALE. Miss Lizzie Caughey Becomes the Wife of William Bishop. CLOVERDALE, Car., April 26.—The marriage of William Bishop to Miss Lizzie Caughey at the Methodist Church at 3 o'clock this afternoon was a notable event in Cloverdale’s social circles. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. G. M. | Richmond of Williams. "The bride is the dzughter of A, Caughey, a leading Clover- dale citizen. William Bishop is a son of Raymond Bishop, « prominent real estate man of Eureka. A large number wit- nessed the ceremony. The popular couple will reside in Eureka. e R The Grant Detained at Seattle, SEATTLE, Wasu., April 26.—Owing to needed repairs which are being made at Moran Brothers’ dry-dock the revenue cut- ter Grant will not accompany the Bering Sea fleet, which will sail northward under command of Captain C. L. Hooper on Monday or Tuesday. It is exlpected that the Grant will be in shape to leave on its northern trip by May 5. The several cut- ters constituting the fleet coaled here the latter part of last week. z Ban Francisco a nine hours’ ride away, and there is a road that extends down through the county and leaves passengers at the beginning of the forty-miie stage route from Los Olivos to Santa Barbara. Yet San Luis Obispo, the sunny little town encircled by high, green hills, seems shut away from the rest of the world, and it is easy for the dreamer to here forget the noise, the hurry and confusion of life in the business towns. This Sunday morning was bright and beautiful as the sun climbed over those eastern hills. There never was more glorious weathier in any land. There could not have been a more quiet spot on earth up to the hour of the morning ringing of the Mission bells. But a change soon came. The Native Sons of the Golden West are to meet in convention here to- morrow, and San Luis Obispo is the capital of the Golden West this week. So the townspeople arose at the ringing of the early bell and resiimed the work of dec- orating their homes and places of busi- ness. The rain ot Friday and Saturday had necessitated postponement, which is the apology given for the seeming viol. tion of Sabbath rule in this Sabbath-like town. The natives have chosen San Luis Obispo as their meeting place for the first time, and the people are making great endeav- ors to give them an appropriate reception. At8 o'clock this morning the military band marched in uniform to the railroad station. It played a lively air of welcome when a large delegation of the natives ar- rived from the steamer St. Paul, and it played again to greet delegates who came on the Southern vrain. Most of the people who were passengers on the St. Paul had been at the flower fes- tivals in Santa Barbera and Los Angeles. Their voyage up the coast from San Pedro was enlivened by several unusual inci- dents, and these incidents are being relat- ed to everybody in San Luis Obispo to-day. At San Pedro there was & wedding. Mrs, Kate Parcell of 8an Francisco, = woman of middie age, arrived on the St. Paul to meet aman whose watrimonial advertisement she had answered. She waited on board the steamer until her prospective husbana called and introduced himself. There was a public declaration of mutual satis- faction, and then as the man and woman started away to find a clergyman the ship’s entire stock of rice foilowed, with the good wishes of the Native Sons. When the steamer turned out from Santa Barbara, a tramping crook, without ticket or money, was encountered by Mate Hall. A combination like that always causes irouble. The steamer stopped and backed up, and the tramp was hoisted out over the railing. Dangling at the end of the rope, tue man was swung high in the air and then lovcred. He missed the dock by sbout two feet and the bath that he received was romething to which he was unaccustomed. An hour later, when the St. Paul was plowing at full speed through the quiet sea and three or four miles out from the point on which the lighthouse stands, the fire alarm was sounded. The mate ran forward, the chief engineer jumped tc his post and every officer and member of the crew responded burriedly to the summons of the whistle and bell. The steatme pealing Spanish for another and a quarter of a dollar brought the plea that the gift be doubled. In the line of energetic, turbulent, pro- fessional begging and fortune-telling, the women of this band cannot be equaled in America, The men merely look on and take care of the horses and the camp equinage. In conversation with a CALL representa- tive the leaders denied that they had stolen from the people of Santa Barbara or that they had committed any depreda- tions in California. They said that they had traveled from Brazil by way of the Isthmus and they were bound for San Francisco. They could not tell what they would do at San Francisco, but it is ap- parent that gypsy life is their permanent condition. The number of the adults appeared to be from thirty to fifty, but not al! were in camp, and the statements they made were couflicting. A lot of children were play- ing about the camp and more were stowed away in the wagons. One young woman was asked bow much of a family she had. Replying that she had ten children, who incidentally were starving, she was re- warded with a dime. Instantly she as- serted that she had fifteen—ien boys and five girls—and she begged accordingly for another nickel. These gypsies, if gypsies they should be called, are a poor. degraded-looking lot. The women are dressed raggedly and they travel without shoes. The band is headed for San Luis Obispo, and the local authori- ties will be asked to keep them out of town during convention week. This evening’s train from San Francisco was an hour late, and ;the main body of delegates did not arrive until 6:30 o’clock. The whole town had turned out to meet the visiters, and a hundred or more of the Native Daughters were in the throng. The engines hauled the Native Song’ train to the station, and while the 250 delezates and their friends were alighting the music of the valiant, brass band was lost in the cheering. There were greetings and hand- shakings throuzbout all fthe crowd, and then a line was formed and a march to the headquarters of the order was begun, the Fifth Regiment band assisting the local organization. “Viva los osos!"’ was the cry along the street, and by the Spanish name of the bears was meant the natives. Everybody shouted the motto, while the procession of men, women and children filled the sidewalks and roadway for a third of a mile. The motto is suspended over each of the central streets, and it is illustrated by broad representatives of the grizzly, realistic in size and color. The bear is the general emblem here, and *“Viva los osos’ will long remind the Natives of their con- vention in S8an Luis Obispo. This evening was given up to the infor- mality of individual welcomings. The opening session of the grand parlor will be held to-morrow forenoon. On Tuesday forenoon the parade will be held, with the line organized as follows: Chorro Lodge No. 168, Independent ¢ 89 Noda Follows " ent Ordero Higuera Lodge No, 194, Ancient Order United | Workmen. *Forty-nine float.

Thursday — Convention session; concerts, afternoon and night. Friday—Excursion to Los Olivos. Los Osos Parlor, which has the honor of entertaining the Grand Parlor this year, was instituted on April 4, 1885, with thir- ty-seven charter members. G. W. Mec- Pherson of Stockton Parlor No. 7 was dis- trict deputy, and organized and installed the new varlor, with the assistance of C. G. Hinds of Stockton Parlor No. 7 and W. P. Veuve of San Jose Parlor No. 22. Messrs. Hinds and Veuve joined the char- ter members by card. Ernest Graves was its first president. The name for the new parlor was the next thing to be consid- ered, and after a short discussion Los Osos was decided upon, the name being historic and also pertaining to the em- blem of the Native Sons of the Golden West. It was derived from the Canada de los Osos, a valley west of this City, which was in early days overrun by bears, and the first padres of the Mission gave the canyon its significant name, “The Valley of the Bears.”” The parlor has held its own since its organization and gone steadily along, and to-day has a member- ship of sixty in good standing. This is a good record, when it is taken into consid- eration that there are a number of other lodges here. The past presidents for the last few years have been: J. B. Blake, H. E. McKennon, E. M. Payne, R. E. Lee, J. F. Fiedler, J. W. O’Sullivan. M. R. de la Guerra is president of the parlor at pres- ent, and has also been a past president. T. J. Bowen, the secretary of the parlor, has heid his office since July, 1890. J. B. Blake is favorably mentioned as one of the foremost candidates for the vosition of grand trustee from this City. VISALIA -~ SAFE-CRACKERS, Robbers Blow Open the Puget Sound Lumber Company’s Strong-Box. band They Carry Away but a Small Sum in Money and the Office Typewriter. VISALIA, Car., April 26.—Safe-blowers made a successful onslaught on & safe in the Puget Sound Lumber Company’s office at 2 o’clock this morning. Not satisfied with the small sum it coutained—only $15—the cracksmen carried away a type- writer (machine). ‘When Manager Cather approached the office at 11 o’clock to-day he noticed that the inside blinds were down, and at once surmised that something was wrong. On opening the door he saw the wreck. One- half stick of giant powder and a small tin tube were all that was left by the robbers for the officers to work on, unless the size and shape of a No. 9 footprint that was found in the yard will be of any use. While one or more of ‘the cracksmen were at work on the safe their team was hitched outside, and a confederate was on the lookout. Several residents living near heard the noise when the strong box was blown open, but thought it wasa pile of lumber faliing before the wind. Night Watchman Byrd also heard the noise. Thinking it was made by the closing of an iron door in the rear of a mercantile house he made an investigation. The team was heard going dowr the street, and then all Was quiet. Sy VISIT SAN CARLOS MISSION. Eastern Members of the Hotelmen's Asso- ciation Entertained at the Pic- turesque Grounds. DEL MONTE, CaL., April 26.—The sev- enteenth annual excursion of the Hotel- men’s Mutual Benefit Assoeiation, which lefu the East two weeks ago, bas proven to be the most successful since the organiza- tion of the association. To-day the hap- piness of the party reached its zemth. The main feature of the programme was the trip around the famous seventeen- mile cypress-drive. ‘The weather was de- lightful and old Sol shone in all his glory on the heads of 500 of California’s guests and their entertainers. Coaches, carriages and tally-hos began to arrive from every direction at 9 o’clock this morning to convey the people around the drive. At 12 o'clock the party re- turned and the strangers gave vent to their enthusiasm by three long and hearty cheers for Manager Arnold, Mr. Douty and Mr. Bowers. All afterncon the tankhouse was filled with bathers, while others enjoyed the beautiful walks, the missions and the beach. This afternoon Father Maestros of the San Carlos Mission invited the Fox-Wil- cox party to see the mission. Father Muestros recently arrived from Spain and proved a most interesting host. He showed the guests many old relics and gave remi- niscences of the Franciscan days of Cali- fornia. The party included Horace Fox and wife and Miss Fox of New York; Jew- ett Wilcox and wife, Miss Wilcox and Miss Estella Meyers, of Chicago; Miss B. Noble, Riverside, and H. 0. Rodgers of San Francisco. To-night a sacred concert was given in the pariors of the Del Monte, while G. Wharton James of Pasadena en- tertained the visitors in the ballroom with a short illustrated lecture on their South- ern California trip. The party will feave in the morning for the Big Trees at SBanta Cruz, whence it starts jor Salt Lake and Chicago. B OREGUN POPULISTS ACTIVE. General Weaver to Asaist in the Coming Campaign. PORTLAND, Ok., April 26.—The Popu- ists will make a determined effort to carry the State of Oregon at the June elec- tion, and with that end in view are leav- ing no stone unturned. The managers of the party have secured prominent speak- ers from the FEast, who will take the stump and strive to place the State at the head of the Populistic line. John C. Young, chairman of the Populist State Central Committee, received a telegram from General J. B. Weaver from Colfax, Iowa, saying he would be here and that J. H. Davis of Texas, J. R. Sovereign, master workman of the Knights of Luabor, and Mortimer Whitehead of New Jersey of the National Grange, would follow him. Senator Mitche!ll is the Populist choice for United States Senator. ‘‘Free silver at 16to 1 and Pennoyer for Mayor” will be their rallying cry.
