THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1896. BELLES AND BEAUX IN POWDERED HAIR Buds in Gorgeous Coloring at the Leap-Year Cotillon. They Form Five Pretty Figures Amid Brilliant Sur- roundings. Characters Famous in History and Fiction Gayly Trip the Light Fantastic. Buds and belles and stately matrons, Wwith powdered hair and fetching patches, resplendent as stately ladies of the court, characters famous in fact and fiction, or attired in the picturesque habiliment of the peasant, met and danced at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening, and helped to make the Christmas cotillon of the Friday Night Club a brilliant success. The greatest diversity prevailed as to Costuming, and the result was more than beautiful. Stately Romola walked with merry Beatrice, and a dainty Columbine linked arms with Lady Teazle. The gentlemen, with their usual modesty, refrained from displaying their symmetrical calves ana well molded limbs in the many picturesque costumes they might have worn with suck becoming advantages., Kven the Burlingame men thrust aside their ‘‘pink coats,” and as far as dress went, the gentlemen of the cotilion wers ali *‘flat, stale and unprofit- able.” Never did Odd Fellows’ handsome as last evening. The skillful decorators fairly outdid their happ; flffeycls at the initial cotillon, a no ea: task, The hall was all draped in red, deep rich red, that made the pavillion glow with warmth and brilliant color. On the stage were potted paims and ferns and brakes, and 1n the midst of all the weaith of greenery, three majestic poin<ettia thrust their flaming blossoms to the front. Lamps shed a soft radiance over the scene, lamps all shaded in red. X izht, hard outline of the gallery by the many potted palms that found place there.

Hearst Secures a New Trial in the tuit With Lotta’ Lawyer. Technicalities bave saved William R. Hearst, for the present at least, from the consequences of a libel of which he was found guilty in the Superior Court, upon John W. Turner. The Supreme Court yesterday ordered a retrial. The story which caused the trouble for Mr. Hearst was printed in the Examiner December 7, 1 The central point was an allegation that Lotta Crabtree, the SPECIAL ENVOY GUIDO ROSSATI of Italy, Who Is Here to Report on the California Wine Interests. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist. tions, or attempted adulterations of Ital- ian wines, and thus keep the standard of Stations of this kind are maintained in London, Switzerland, New York and other cities. Bignor Rossati has had charge of the ex- pert station in Switzerland two years, of the one in London s:x years and of the station in New York for about a year. He was a thorough wine man in the pegin- ning, having been born to the business, besides attending a wine-school for eight years. He has for some time past, in accord- ance with the duties as special envoy to which he has recently been appointed, been visiting New York, Ohio and Mis- souri and studying the grape and wine interests there. Now he has come to California. He has already spent several days 1n the out- lying vineyards, and has been examining and testing the wines. He intends travel- ing all over the State, and will spend at least a month here. “Ttaly is desirous of extending the sale i of bher wines,” said Mr. Rossati, *‘but be- | sides this she wanis to learn zll she can | ot the grape and wine industry, as carried on in other parts of the world. Special representatives have been sent by Iialy | recently to all parts of the globe to get | this intformation, Wine-making is a mighty industry with us, and we want to keep in the front inthe industry, and also create new mar- kets and extend old ones. * The grape and wine industry in the States East is entirely different from what it is in Calitornia. Here it is almoat ex- actly what it is in Italy. You grow the same grapes, have the same soil and c:imate and handle the business simi- larly, but on a great scale, as becomes a great country like this. “I have been surprised to find your wines so good, especially the white wines and the light red, or Zinfandels, with which I am really charmed. “All the grapes of the East consist of the Lavruscas, or the Concords, Cataw- bas, Delawares and similar varieties, They are more a table grape than suitable for wine. These grapes are indigenous to the East, with one other kind tnat I saw there, the Riparia, or wild grape, which 18 found along the Mississippi. They tried to gra.t hat grape, but did not suc ceed with it. Tue grapes in these States are subject to phylloxera, and there is no good remedy ior that there. Besides, they have the mildew. It is not really a country for wines. *This, on the contrary, is a natural 'wine country. You have the viniferous varieties here as we have in Italy. 1 shall stay here for a month and go all over the Btate.” Signor Rossati was unfortunate in fall- ing aday or two ago on his left hand and fracturing his left wrist. In consequence he has it in plaster of paris and yesterday was in bed all day to rest. He expects to be fully recove; by Monday. A EUREKA ROMANOE Miss Evans to Travel 5000 Miles to Wed Louis Putnam. Among the passengers arriving on the steamer Pomona from Eureka yesterday was Miss Annie Evans, who coniemplates a voyage of 5000 miles across the broad Pa- cific, to terminate in a happy weddinr. Miss Evans is an accomplished young society belle of Eureka. 8he is the third daughter of Manager Davia Evans of the Excelsior Redwood Company, one of the best-known redwood millmen on the coast, and is a native of Eureka, where she was torn twenty-two years ago. The bhappy man is Louis Putnam, 25 years of age, who occupies a responsible position with the branch of the American ! actress, bad caused Turner’s arrest upon criminal charges and that the case was compromised by notes given by a Plumas County lawyer to the ac:ress. The Supreme Court finds that Turner was Lotta’s lawyer and t.at it was an- other man with whom she had trouble. The story got into the Kxaminer by the act of a reporter who, in rewriting an item from the Evening Post about the case, mixed up the names. Hearst escaped for the time being because Judge Dainger- field instructed the jury thai it was the duty of the Examiner to apologize to Turner; and also because Judge Slack, who sat one day durlng the trial of the libel, in the absence of judge Daingeriield, failed to passon the bill of exceptions taken while he presided. FATHER YORKE DISMISSED. Judge Campbell Held the Complaint to Be Fatally Defective. The preliminary examination of Father P. C. Yorke for criminal libel alleged to have been committed in an article pub- lisbed in the Monitor reflecting on George Thistleton was yesteraay briefly disposed of. A large crowd, chiefly the friends of the defendant, was in attendance and it was found necessary to remove from Judge Campbell’s courtroom to the more ipncious quarters of Judge Joachimsen. iven then only a small portion ot those in waiting could be admitted. After reading the complaint W. W. Foote made a technical objection to the complaint. In the discussion Judge Campbe!l raised the point that the alleged libelous statement to the effect that “‘the red hand of Rome had landed him in San Quentin” was not sufficiently specific. Koote urged the point, declaring it was necessary in a criminal complaint to con- strue a complaint strictly. . M. Smith, Thistleton’s attorney, argued that the woras should be taken in their common acceptation in the State in which they are used. Judge Campbell, however, held that the statement that a man had been landed at San Quentin did not necessarily imply he had Leen there as a convict and accordingly dismissed the case. Smith says & new complaint will be filed. ——————— Ladies, Give Your Husbands One of our nice wool jackets or sweaters; also see our line of gloyes, mufflers, silk hand- kerchiefs, suspenders, etc., etc., all at lowest figures.

TWICE ONE'S TWO, SAYS THE COURT Mathematics Applied Turlock Irrigation Bonds. o Lands Were Advertised for Sale to Pay Interest Money Claimed Due. Stockholders Now Havs Securel an Order for the Renewal of en Irjunction. The sale of realty belonging to stock- holders of the Turlock irrigation district for failure to pay an assessment to raise interest paymsnts on the bonds of the district will be stayed. This was decided practicaily by the Supreme Court yester- day in the case of Hughson et al. vs. Crane. The last named, Crane, was the collector of the Turlock irrigation district, and advertised the property of several of the stockholders for sale because they were delinquent in their assessments. They secured a temporary injunction against Crane. He demurred to the proceedings in some particular. Now the Supreme Court has instructed the Superior Court to overrule the demurrer, which the Supe- rior Court previously sustained, and also has reversea the order by which the in- junction against Crane was dissolved. The Supreme Court finds, as the result of a little figuring, that the stockholders were justified in not paving the assess- ment levied to provide the interest on the bonds. This figuring is as follows: Deducting from $524,000, which is alleged to be the amount of_bonds in question in the case, the sum of $150,000, the amount of bonds ‘‘which are specifically shown to have been lilegally delivered to Gorrill,” and there remains only $374.000 in bonds for which an assessment could be levied. The total amount of the assessment was over $40,000. The in- tereston $374,000, at the rate of 6 ver cent per annum, would amount to $23,200, and when the assessment was laid there was nearly $10,000 in the treasury applicable to puy the assessment. The wording of the opinion, which was written by Justice Harrison, was clear concerning the liability of the stockhold- ers for this particular assessment, being as follows: “If the facts set forth in the complaint are true they sufficiently justi- fied the refusal of the plainuffs to pay the assessment, and eall upon tne defendant either to deny their existence or re-estab- lish other facts thav will give him the right to collect the assessment by the sale of the plaintiffs’ lands.” The validity of the bonds was not brought into question in this suit and the Supreme Court called attention to the fact. The joining of Gorrill or Hickman in the suit it was alsosaid by the court was not necessary. L. M. Hickman the man who in 1892 bought $550,000 bonds of the original issue of $600,000, at the rate of 90 per cent of their full value, with the agreement that he was to pay the district for all that he received above 90 per cent after deducting the cost of selling them. He did not pay fer ary bonds. Gorrill was the contractor who built the dam jor the irrigation system and took $150,000 in bonds in payment for his work. Hickman was merely the agent of the board of directors for the sale of the bonds. The decision in this case will prove, interesting throughout the San Joaquin Valley and to all persons con- nected with California irrigation districts, either as stockbolders or holders of the bonds. uCHRIST BEFORE PILATE" R:plica, by Nelson A. Primus of Boston, Is Exhibited. The It Will Be Shown Ev‘ery Nignt Next Week to Aundiences of the 4 Co umbia Theater. A private view of a copy of the famous painting, “Christ Before Pilate,”” was given yesterday afternoon at the Colum- bia Theater. All who saw the picture were invited by Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. and presented with a full description of it, so thas an inteiligent idea of what it represented could be had. During the afternoon a stream of people passed through the theater doors to see the painting. After leaving the sunlight the change was so great that a first impression of the picture was not satisfaclory. The electric light shining down upon a large canvas was disturbing. The colors appeared to be largely dcminated by browns. This feeling soon wore away, however, on becoming accustomed to the dark theater and the lighted picture, stretching full across the siage. Then the life-size figures came out strongly, and by degrees matters of detail in drapery and features began to show themselves, and the effect was quite pleasing. The piciure was painted by Nelson A. Primus in Boston and has been exhibited in several cities. It will be shown every night next week to Columbia audiences as a compliment to patrons of the theater. ‘T'he following description of the paint- ing was given yesterday to those who viewed it: Shows the interior of the Praetorium, a large, square apartment, lighted through an opening in the roof, with Christstanding in the loreground facing Pilate, before whom Caiaphas is making a violentspeech of accusa- tion. Groups of judges and curious spectators ontheright end & mobcomposing the worst ele- ments of the popu!ation fil.ing the background on the left. Oniy three personages can be defi: nitelyioentified byname, Christ,Pilateand Caia- phas. The hign priest, Caiaphas, stands erect at the right of Pilate; on a seat which extends along a projection of the lower stair of the judgment seat is a typical Pharisee, rich and insolent. A figure whica occupies a promi- nent position is the scribe, perched nig on a seat against the wall; at the right of the Gov- ernor sit two judges; benind Caiaphasand Pharisee appear three priests, who are dis- cussing. “the case’’; to the leit of the judg- 1ment Seat sit two other priests. One-third of the Praetorium at the left, and the vestibule, which opens on a suuny, Ori- ental landscape, are filled with the surging and raging multitude. They threaten to crowd into the judgment hall, bnt & Roman <oldier checks them with his extended spear. To the left of Christ an Amsudem. knavi; scoffer bends on one side and leans over the railing to sueer in the face of the Ssvior. On the left of the soldier a rude feilow lifts both arms in the air and cries out with wide open mouth, “Crucify him!” Taus giving the pass- word to the turbulent mob in tne background. Tu the midst of the narrow-minded, fanatical multitude stands a young mother holding a child in bher arms, loocking cbmptnionlul{, almost believing on Christ. This is the only female fizure in the composition and hers is the only face expressing pity for the accused. Thus it acts as a foil, intensifying by compari- son the hatred and malignity in the faces by which it is surrounded. ———t—— The annual profit of the Suez canal is £1,500,000. e e e Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.
