THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ERIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1896. HARRISON TALKS 10 THE FARMERS . Interesting Address Made at the National Con- gress. .. Organizations of the Tillers of the © . Soil Should Be Encouraged, | Says the Ex-President, POLITICS ALSO TCUCHED UPON. “Policy of Arraying Class Against Class Not the Way to Insure Prosperity. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., Nov. 12.—The third day’s session of the Farmers’ Na- tional Congress had two important feat- * ‘ures. One was an address by General + Harrison and the other wasthe adoption ° of a memorial to Congress. General Harrison was in a very happy mood and when he arose 10 speak he was greeted enthusiastically.’ 1n part he said: *Icame here to make an acknowledg- ment of the compliment you have shown me by inviting me to appear before this congress. 1 suppose that politics is barred, as this is an agricultural meeting. I'm not an agriculturist, though born and reared on a farm. My education was paid for by the proceeds of corn and hogs. It is a custom of tte time for men of a par- ticular occupation to associate themseives to-ether to develop and cultivate mutual interests. duch organizations are to be encouraged, but we must not forget that lawyers, farmers and Jaborers all have in- terests and that no one class should try to get the better-of the other classes. We are all rejoicing that you are getting a little more for wheat and corn, though itis at the expense of us who have to pay a little more for the things we consume.” - Then the general ventured a littls piece out into political waters. “I bave no patience with those people who are always fighting the air,”” he said. He advised men who believed that legis- lation’ is prejudicial to them o go about a fight in a systematic way, not ‘‘fighting theair.” It wasplain that the general was referring to a situation in the present cam- paign. He advised that public sentiment be focused on whatever question of un- usual import was brought before the peo- vle, and that men go straight after what they want. Then he told of how a brakeman came + and sat gown beside him in the train one day recently and told him that he did not like the idea of this thing of trying to array class against class. This remark of the brakeman of course pleased General + Harrison. “Whatever they say about class in this country, the great body of the American people will work for truth and right When any men engaged in a particular calling from high motives associate them- selves together, and pursue those high motives in their association, only good can resuit. But we should not be selfish in our purposes. I think I may say that if we were absolutely selfish in our pur- poses and thought only oi our own good, the good of the class and of the individnal of the class, we should find that good most highly promotied by taking a broad view of things and by admitting to our delib- erations the thought that it is not possible for one class to be highly prosperous while all other classes are suffering; that there is an interdependence inall our business and sccial relations, and that this is aighly developed in a free government like ours. “In other words, in a broad sense, we prosper together and we suffer together; we are interdependent. I think some- times the conceit of the farmer has been unduly promoted when it is said that he isat the bottom of everything and that he belongs to an independent class; that cities are not of much account and that farms are God’s work and enduring. What would the farm be witnout the town and what would the town be without the farm ? These cities furnish the population that consumes the products of the farm and the farm furnishes the subsistence of the city. I heard a friend say the other day ‘It is the city for the country and the country for the city and all for the flag.’ 1f there are abuses of any kind of legisla- tion or in_the business of the country let us fix the public eye upon them until we have exposed tie evil and then we can trust the country to make it right. +It is mischievous to denounce classes, and this thing and that. If there are trusts let us know it, and bring legislation | to bear upon them and court decrees to bear upon them, and then we have accom. plished something. Ifany man will make +* 1t plain to the American people that he is oppressed, that he is not getting his | rights, then I undertake to say that the American people will be on his side, against whatever may oppress him. My thought is, if you think there are wrongs and grievances in the business condition or in legislation hunt them out aud specify them, hoid them up to the public judement and have faith in your fellow-man. For I say to -you that of the great body of the people, an overwhe!ming majority, are in favor always of justice ana fairness, and if you make that appeal to them they will re- spond. E -1 have rejoiced in all that has tended to make agriculture easier, to give leisure for thought and reading, for the cultiva- tion of the intellect. I rejoice that the schoolhouse and the littie churcn are found in every country neighborhood. I rejoice in the belief that our peopie are putriotic and that never before in the his. . 1o~y of our couniry was there a deeper and more universal love of the starry banner and the constitution for which it stands.” A memorial to Congress, prepared by a special committee, was read and adopted at the morning session. After the memo- " rial was read, C. M. Hozg of Ohio moved that the paragraph asking that the duty upon wool, as prayed for by the National - Wool-growers’ Association one year azo0 and embodied in the memorial, be stricken out and also that the time of holding im- ported wool in bond be extended tnirty days. The motion brought a wratbhful reply from Judge Lawrence of Olio, who charged that Hogg's intereats were with. the manufacturers rather than with the wool-growers. He charged that tlie Ding- ley .bill discriminated in favor of the manufacturer and against the wool- grower. Mr. Hogg, in repiying, said that 95 per cent of the manutactur rs were in sympathy with the American wool- zrowers, and the discrimination against American wools is because of the faulty cordition in which they are put upon the market, 4 ‘T'he memorial asks Congress to see to it that no trusts are organized that can ex- tort exorbitant prices for farm product \ Dingley bill: That the ‘*skirting” cl ause of the act of 1890 shall not be applicable to the bill; that the pledge therein that it shall continue in operation ‘*until August 1, 1898, shall bestruck out; that the duties on woolen rags, snoddy, mungo, flocks, nocks, wastes and other adulterants shall be made prohibitory; that wool and woolen manufactures im- ported under its provisions shall not re- main in bonded warehouses more than ten days. EPISCOPAL MISSIONARY - WORK. Some of the Appropriations Are Cut, but the Scope of Forsign Labor Is Not Changed. DETROIT, Micm., Nov. 12.—Apportion- ment of the yeariy appropriations occupied the sessions of the generzl missionary committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church to-day. Appropriation was made providing for the reduction of the =alaries of the oificials of the committee, but after a Jong discussion an appropriation of $13,- 000 was made for salaries of secretaries and missionary Bishops. This is an increase of $4000 over last year, an additional Bishop and secretary being provided for. The appropnation for office expenses was cut from $13.000 to $10,000. This left a balance of $981,000 for missionary work, and 45 per cent was appropriated for home and 55 per cent for foreign missions, the same percentage as last vear. A special committee will prepare addresses to be delivered before conferences and to be widely disseminated for the purpose of raising missionary funds. Owing to the reduction of the general appropriation fund it was found necessary to make a cut of 4 per cent on the appor- tionment of last year for foreign missions. In the Eastern Asia division China was first taken up, and $25,000 was appropriated for Foochow missions, a cut of $1100; $35,000 for Central China, a cut of $5000; $40,000 for North China, a cut $1850, and $12,500 tor West China, an increase of $1700. To-nicht there was a platform meeting in the Central M: E. Church at which Dr. H. G. Jacksou and Bishop H. W. Warren delivered addresses on “Our Domestic Missions.” STOPPED BY THE POLICE Lucy Parsons Talks at Annual Demonstration of the Anarchists. Those Who Executed the Newmarket Prisoners Are Styled Hide- ous Murderers. the CHICAGO, ILi., Nov. 12.—Trembling, her cheeks red and her fists ciencned, Lucy Parsons was led off the stage at the West Twelfth-street Turner Hail by Police Cap- tain John Wheeler last night at the annual demonstration in memory of the anar- chists who were executed as 4 result of the Haymarket murder. Captain Wheeler and a number of men were on the platform as she began to speak. There was roching out of the or- dinary in the first words of Mrs. Parsons. Her son, she said, was like his father, and she was teaching him to take up the great struggle for which his father had laid down his life and where his father had left off. She predicted that the day would come, although the feet of the executed men had ceased to travel the earth, when a million bodies would move on their legs, and that then from the graves 'n Waidheim the social revolution would spring. All the time Mrs. Parsons was getting more vehement in her manner and more pronounced in her utterances. Arriving at a description of the manner in which the four men went to the scaffold, she ge- clared that the men who had cbarge of the hanging hurried through with their work Ltecause they feared to look four honest men 1n the face. | Then came the climax. Raising her voice to its highest pitch she said: *I ask you for wuat they suffered! What crime had they committe4? 1 ask you, hideous murderers, you gang of mur- derers, from Gary, Grinnell and Governor Ogzlesby down to the gang of hired police spies—I ask”’— Here Captain Wheeler hastened across the stage and, before Mrs, Parsons could say any more, led her from the scene. Instantly the hall was in an uproar, Men shouted and gesticulated wildly, and for just a few seconds there was a move toward the stage. Chairman Apple grasped the situation, and calied for order and it was partially restored. In the meantime Captain Wheeler and Mrs. Parsons wers exchang- ing courtesies in the wings. “What are you trying to do to me?’ demanded Mrs. Parsons, her eyes fairly glistening; ‘‘prevent me from telling the people why you murdered my husband? Well, I will'teli them.” Suiting the action to the word she has- tened to the stage and fairly shouted, while she shook her clenched fist in the direction of the back part of the hall “You murderers! I hurl it in your teeth.” 3 Captain Wheeler was soon at her side, and again led beraway. Then the house was thrown intoanother uproar, and some one shouted “Forward!”’ The good judg- ment of the chairman was again exer- cised; and Johann Most, who in the mean- time had arrived, was introduced to gain the attention of the audience. Alter quiet had been restored Mrs. Parsons left the stage and took her seat in the center of the | hailL Oliver's speech was a defense of an- archism. e sud it was not the desire of anarchists 1o iear down or desiroy any- thing, but rather to build up. Herr Most was not very radical in his Temarks when he saw Mrs. Parsons was interrupted. He simply cave a recapitu- lation of the events from the time the first anarchist meeting was disbanded by the police until the hanging of the four men in 1887. 1In closiug he said that anarchy had not been killed by the hanging of the four men, *No, no,”” he continued, “an- archy is not dead, but itisgetting stronger each year, and wiil live on forever.,”’ S AN EXPRESS-TRAIN WRECKED. One Car Thrown Down an Embankment and Two of the Passengers Badly Injured. ‘ MONTGOMERY, Ars., Nov. 12.—The fast mail on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for New Orieans, leaving here at 9:3) o’clock to-night, was wrecked when four miles from town, but fortunately no one was killed. The engine, mail, bag- gage, express, smoker and one sieeper left the track. The mailcar was sheot at least fifty feet from the track, but landed right side up and even the lights were not ex- tinguished. The smoking-car was tumbled down the embankment and rolled over on its side. It was in this car the only dam- age was done. . J. R. Latham of Atlanta was cauzht by the legs and W. C. Carvey of Monroville, La., by the arm, and each had to be cut off. These two were the most seriously hurt of any, and their injuries are not dan- gerous. The cross ties had been split so as to get the spikes out and the rail moved in about three inches, so that when the engine struck it the flange of the driver rode the rail and the en -ine was thrown from the track. Engineer Gerns stuck to his-en- favors the protective tariff policy ani asks, regarding wool, these changes in the gine and was not hurt, WEAVING A WEB AROUND MOORE Many Witnesses Give Dam- aging Evidence Against the Prisoner. Ghastly Details of the Aw ul Crime Are Told and Retold. UNLUCKY WATCH AND PI.TOL. Moore and Schmidt Scen Together Near Greenwood’s Place the Day of the Murder. NAPA, CaL., Nov. 12.—The Moore trial was continued to-day before the Superior Court. Hugh Kelly as a witness for the prosecu- tion told how, while driving toward Napa in the early morning of February 10, 1891, he saw Captain Greenwood, bound and bleeding, standing befcre the latter’s gate. Cutting the bonds he entered the house with the captain and found Mrs. Green- wood lying upon the bed, cold and dead. Hedrove to town for the Sheriff anda doctor and when he returned other people ba gathered at the house. Sheriff McKenzie described the appear- ance of the house, the position of Mrs. Greenwood, the location of the blood- stains on the floor, bed and wall, and the condition of the horse, buggy and harness that had been used by the murders, and | other matter in detail. He identfied the cords with which Mr. and Mrs. Green- wood were tied, the gag that was used on Mr. Greenwcod, the broken pieces of har- ness found by Howard Franklin and him- self near Hatbaways, where tbe horse driven by Roe and Schmidt had failen, the shoes of the murderer which were dis- covered by Mr. Kelly, and other exhibits of the prosecution. Peter Lynch testified that he knew the | defendant; first saw him in September, 1889, when be hired him to work on the Tormey Fagan ranch. Defendant worked for him at different periods from that time until January 27, 1891—some- times at the Tormey & Fagan place and sometimes at the Sheehy place. He also testified that he tonk Roe’s watch to Napa oun December 19, 1890, to be repaired by H, L. Amstutz. Dr. Haun was called again this morn- ing. His testimony was to the effect that at the autopsy on the body of Mrs. J. Q. Greenwood it was discovered that a gun- shot-wound had been inflicted, but that it had not cansed death, as death had pre- viously occurred. I1f the builet had in- flicted” death hemorrhage would have occurred and clots woula have been formed. This would tend to prove that Mrs. Greenwood’s death was caused by the poison administered. Dr. Poud corroborated the statement of Dr. Haun, and in addition said that be- fore death had occurred Nrs. Greenwood had been severely strangled, as finger- mnarks were discovered about the throat. George Knox was then placed on the stand. He worked with Moore for seversl months for Mr. Lynch and was well ac- quainted with defendant. He said de- iendant was the owner of a ligbt-colored overcoat and also of certain jewelry. The most important part of his testimony was that In reference to a bottle of chloroiorm, which bottle was in Moore’s possession. | Mrs. Greenwood was poisoned with chlo- roform, and the bottle used by the mur- derer was similar to that used by Moore. | Witness also identified a pistol which revious to the murder was owned by R?loare. but which was found under a| pridge after the crime had been commit- | ted. On the evening of the 9th Moore came to the German House looking for Knox. H. Meyer, a citizen of Coraelia, testified | to the tinding of a pistol under a railroad | bridge some months after the murder. This was the pistol identifiel by Knox as beloneing to Moore. E. Hyatt, a constable of Cordelia, said that Meyer had turned the pistol over to bim and that he in turn had en it into the keening of Sheriff McKenzie. Fred Stemle testified 10 seeing Moore and Carl Schmidt together on February 8 in front of a saloon. Moore was walking up and down on the platform and Stemle passed into the saloon. He had a conver sation witlt Schmidt, the result of which was that he purchased a watch of Schmidt for $4. As stemlie passed out Moore asked him if he bought a watch of Schmidt. Re- ceiving an atfirmative answer, Moore said, - cents higher than yesterday, *“Well, that will do us.” The watch was turned over to Justice Bradford, and is now on exhibition in the courtroom. Lynch testified that he had taken waich belonging to Moore to L. %&usmtx for repairing on December 20, Mr. Amstutz positively stated that the watch was repaired by him. The remainder of the testimony to.day was to prove that Moore was seen near Mr. Greenwood’s piace on the day of the murder. Mary Holland and J: Shorer positively glemified Moore as the man seen on that av. The case was then continued until to- morrow morning. WHEAT PRICES ADVANCED. There Is a Marked Demand and Lively Trading in the Chicago and New York Pits. CHICAGO, [rr., Nov. 12—Wheat to-day opened active and with a steady to firm tone at yesterday's decline. About100’clock, when prices had worked their way up ¢ cent from the opening several lines of wneat came on the market, depressing from 79% to 781{. Late cables were 3(d higher, their posting giving buyers encouragement and causing a sharp coyering movement. On this flurry December rose to 793 cents, but almost immediately dropped back to 79 cents. By dint of bard work and steadfast buy- ing, local bulls succeeded in advancing prices about 13{ cents from the inside. This improvement was during the last hour. Lat: Liverpool cable being unex- pectedly firm revived the courage® of holders, who displaved less anxi ty to sell. In the last fifieen minutes the buy- ing became sharp and decisive, prices ad- vancing 3 of a cent additional to the pre- vious gain. The local crowd was canght shert and in the limited time allowed to cover the market became excited. New York displayed even greater strength than Chicago and led the ad- vance right up to the close. The range for December was between 7814 and 803{ to 807 cents, and the close at 803{ cents, 13{ PREVENTS A TRAIN WRECK Ia the Nick of Time Charles Copzck Stops the Pennsyl- vania Express. Maggie May, a Race Mare With a R:cord, Was Caught on a Bridze as ths Train Approached. CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 12.—The prompt action of Charles Copock prevented in all probability great loss of life and the de- railment of a northbound express train at 7:10 to-night on the Pennsyivania Rail- road. He was walkmg across a long ‘trestle bridge that spans Chester Creek when he met three horses running up the track. He drove two of them back, but one of the animals ran on the bridge and its legs be- came entangled in the ties and it could not liberate itself. The train from Wilmington was ap- proaching the dangerous point, but Co- pock succeeded in having it stopped a short distance from the bridge. The horses were all blooded stock and had broken from a pasture at Claymount. The struggling mare was Maggie May, with a record of 2:30 and in foal and the other animals were colts by Saladin, the famous pacer. Travel was delayed for a long time until the mare was extricated by means of planks and ropes. —— DARING ROBBERY IN A CAR. Two Noted Crooks Hold Up a Man in the Presence of Passengers, but Are Captured. CHICAGO, Irn., Nov. 12.—M. A. Stark of Colorado was robbed on an Adams-street car, near the Union depot yesterday, by Barney Birch and/ Paddy Ryan, who are well known to the police here. They forcibly ‘held Stark, although the car was crowded with other passengers, and de- prived bim of a valuable diamond and his pocketbook, which contained $4000 in checks and notes.

LEONARD DODGE, One of the Captured Slayers of John Mudgett, the Wealthy Rancher of Usal, Cal. [Reproduced from a photograph in *History of Mendocino County,” by C. Wyttenbach, artist.) CAHTO, CAL., Nov. 12.—The preliminazy hearing of the prisoners arrested in the Mudgett case began at 1 o’clock to-day at Usal. From the outset the evidence against young Dodge showed him to be the master spiritof tie conspirators. The hearing continued until after midnight, when an adjournment was taken. The case will again be taken up to-morrow, wien it is expected it will conciude by night. No new arrests were made to-day. The town and vicinity was largely represented in court, and there were many interested spectators to the proceedings. Interruption to telenhone communication 1o-night precludes the possibility of obtaining the de- tails of the nature of evidence and the proceedings in general to-night. EXAMINERS MEET AT SACRAMENTO Coyote Claims Necsssitate an Extra Session of the Board, The Encrmous Bill Against the State Makes the Governor Skeptical. GROSS FRAUDS ARE SUSPECTED. Rigid Investigations to Be Made and Affidavits R quired ia Ques- tionabie Cases. SACRAMENTO, CAn, Nov. 12.—The State Board of Examiners met in extra session to-day for the purpose of consider- ing what action woutd be most advisable to pursue in regari to coyote claims. fn speaking of the matter under considera- tion the Governor said: “The claims from the counties which are doubtiul aggregate $110,000. I am in favor of setting out this amount to pay such claims as are found to be legitimate upon investigation, the remainingamount to be paid back into the treasury, these investigations to be made, say, belore county judges,and each man to be required to testify as to where his claim came from. This would place frauds in a box. Some of these affidavits have become out- lawed, that is, the three years within which they may be prosecuted haselapsed. I want to renew these oaths. We have got evidence which will prevent thousands of these peing renewed.” Alfter considerable discussion it was de- cided that Secretary Markley b2 instructed to go over the claims and make a report of the amount necessary to pay the entire amount of the claims, money for frandu- lent and doubtful claims to be withheld. The Attorney-General will t: en draw up a bill and submit it to the board for ap- proval, when it will be included in their report. A claim was put in for $100 reward un- der the Governor’s offer uf reward for ilie- gal voting. Theclaim being made by A. C. Vognes and tne culprit being Henry Rice, who vleaded guilty in Los Angeles. The claim was allowed. Secretary Markley spoke of the report of the board. He saia that claims that had been passed upon by former boards were constantly coming up, and he wanted to know if these should again be put in the reports. It was decided that matters that had been once passed upon should be given no attention, but treated as disposed of, just as judgments of courts. Governor Budd stated that he wanted to have the matter considered in regard to salaries paid under the business of thé Board of Education. He thought that if this board had to pass upon ciaims, thy should have power to regulate these sal- aries. He was in favor of asking the Leg- islature for such power. The bonds of the Sin Francisco devot, offered for the same by Rollins & Son, were taken up. A discussion as to whether they were ‘“'civil funded bonas,” as .de- scribed in the code, was entered into. At- torney-General Fitzgerald wanted time to investigate. Governor Budd wanted to konow how the bonds were to be repaid. He thought it possible that an effort might be made to turn the property over to the city of San Francisco, and establish free docks, etc. This would do away with the revenue necessary to repay the bonds. To bring the matter up, Secretary of State Brown made a motion to buy the ponds. The motion received no second. The Controiler, State Treasurer and Sec- retary Brown were delegatea to inves- tigate and make a report to the board, the board to act in accordance with the opinion. < NEWS FROM SAN JOSE.

STOCKTON, CaL, Nov. 12.—Charles Gricsby, aged 32, lert Stockton November 8, 1895, with the expressintention of going to Mexico, where he had been before. At Los Angeles, September 9, he wrote a let- ter to his sister at Sanger. Nothing was alterward heard from him and his wid- owed mo.her, Mary E. Sturgeon of this city, has been anxious to learn something of his whereabouts. Recently the brother of the missing man was in Clements, where the latter used to live, and was told by a neighbor that he had seen an ac- count either in THE CaLt or Chronicle over a year ago of the suicide of Charles Grigsby on 2 southbound train. This neighbor expressed great surprise that the relatives of Grigsby had not heard of it before and made an investigation. Coming from a man of known reliability this statement, coupled with 1he silence cf the missing man, convinced the relatives of its truth.

FOOTBALL AT PALO ALTO Reliance Makes a Good S:ow- ing in the Last Practice Games. All the Men in Fine Form and Hope- ful of Defeating the Olympics. PALO ALTO, Cax., Nov. 12—Stanford played the last of the series of three prac- tice games with the Reliance eleven this afternoon. The latter team showed im- provement over previous games and Cap- tain Walton expects to give the Oiympics all they want in Saturday’s game. From now on the Reliance men will take it easy. Allare in fine form for the game, Racine | and Lacuna both playing ftrong enas. Sexton at tackle will eive a good account bimself and Wyckoff's punting is sure nd strong. In the game this afternoon Stanford was forced to put in a number of substitutes, several Varsity men being on the repair list. This made the play of the team slowerand not so full of life. The foilowine gives an 1dea of the game and best plays of individuals: Stanford bad the ball for the first kickoff and Reliance worked the ball down near the center of the field before Stanford took 1t away from Reliance. Freeman at once kicked for thirty-five yards, and Wyckoff and Carter carried the ball back twenty yards. Rehance interference showed up strong. Williams, Stanford’s center, did some remarkable tackling and holding up the Reliance vacks. Both Reliance ends, Lacuna and Racine, prevented a long game by Stanford. Cotton hit the line harder tuan any other Stanford back. ‘Time was called for the first half with the ball on the Reliance yard line. In the second half Stanford kicked off, and by kicking carried the ball over the line, but it was not allowed on account of offside play by Sianford players. Reiiance punted the ball out of danger and a little later recovered the ball on a fumble. Rice and Parker did fine tackling for Stanford in the second half. Jost made the longest gain by a run in the second half. A Re- uance kick was blocked on the ten-yard lince and Parker carried the ball over for Stanford on the next play. Score: 4to0 in favor of Stanford. Reliance left for the City this evening.

AUBURN, Car., Nov. 12.—1t was at the invitation of the Episcopal church ladies that all Auburn went a chrysanthemum- ingito-night, for it is they who are this year in charge of Auburn’s chrysanthe- mum fiesta. The exhibition is held in the Opera-house Pavilion, though weil it might have assumed the nature of a street pageant, for never did old Sol seek his evening rest leaving behind such a beau- tiful day. It is unusual for Auburn, nestled as she is between olive-covered foothills, to experience really unpleasant weather at any time of the year, but to- day nature has indeed been kina to her foothill folk. Officialdom nodded its head sagely over chrysanthemum beauties, for the Queen was crowned by City Attorney E. F. Wright, and Hon. G. W. Hamilton, as the Mayor’s legal representative,, presented her majesty with the keys of the city. As preliminary to the principal feauture of programme, the floral display, the spec- tators were held in the opera-house to witness the production of the beautiful extravanganza, “Cinderella.” The Queen directed the performance herself, assisted by J. A. Predom and Mrs. A. D. Fellows in the leading roles and C. 0. Davis as stage manager. The stage was a veritable flower garden, and beneath each fountain stream lay a little mermaid and every lily blossomed a fairy queen. After “Cinderella’” the pavilion, with its mass of blooming loveliness, was thrown open to an eager throng eutside of the matted walls of chrysanthemums of all shades, the olive branch and the palm predominating in decoration. Among the principal exnhibitors weae: Mrs. Judge Prewetr, William Watts, Mrs. Huntley, Mrs, E. O. Smith, Mrs. W. B. Lardner, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Boardman. The fiesta is on for three nights, clasing Saturday with a grand ball. Its success is well assured, and all honor the chief moving spirits, Mrs. E. O. Smith and Miss Mabel Bronson.
