One of the Moast Elaborate Affairs Ever Seen in i San Francisco. DECORATIONS OF A TASTEFUL! CHARACTER. | | Spacches amd Muosic Charm Away the Hours Until Long After Midnight. ! | | Collis P. Huntington, presfdent of the | Southern Pacific Company, entertained | about 110 of the principal officers and em- vloyes of the two corporations with | vhich be is T nently con cted at er last v at his residence on the | crest of Nob Hill. [ Itis three years since he has unbent in | this social m ofore the Hun- tington dinners utar feature of annual visit to this City. affairs were given at the partook less of a pri- the function of Jast the ma All the pre Palace Hotel, and vale cter than \ making out the list of invited guests great care was exercised to include on fentlemen who were in some capaci connected with uthern Pacific Coni- its properties, or the reet company. A er custom he presence of u delegation of three | members from each of the locomotive en- gineers' a uctors’ organizations. i The invitations were engraved in script type on bevel-edwed cards, about 3x4 hes, and read a Mr. Huntin Jeased Railway e from 10! follows: The gu Sts began to arrive at the man- sion on the corner of Calitc nd Tay r streets at abour 6:45 in order to Jay their individual respects to Mr, Hunt- ygton before taking their seats at his| hospitable board. The covers were set on tables arranged in the form of a horseshoe In the a lery, a magnificent room, twenty-two feet high, its walls hung with huge canvases in handsome frames. One hundred and forty electric lights farnished a brilliant | lumination, and elegant floral pieces set off the ornately and richly dressed table. Prominent among the decorations was | the handsome silver punch bowl, pre- | sented to the host of the evening at the ner by those who were present Inscribed on it are the names of individual who had been invited. | Huntinglon is extremely proud of | this testimonial of the friendiy feelings of the gentiemen connected with the rail- road and street railway corporations in which he is a controlling factor. On this occasion it was heaped full of Mme. Testot roses, choice and besutiful pink ms. ut midway on each side of the horseshoe was a floral ship six feet long, with full rigging and sails and topp with pretty silk flags. At the head of the table near where the bost sat_was a train of three cars, also built of flowers, about six feet high. All along the tabies were vases of the choicest roses grown in the State. At each guest’s plate was a dainty boutonniere. Palms were profusely scatiered about the room, and the floral display altogether was one of the grandest ever seen in California. The decorative eifect of the tables was greatly heightened by lightea yellow can- | dles in handsome candelabras with pink | shades. The menu was all that an epicure could | desire. It was as follows: ME Huitres. | Rudesheimer. | POTAGE. Consomme e HORS D'EU RE Bouchee a 1a Beine. e ala Newburg. RELEVE. Filet de Beenf a la Richelien. New Peas. Bermuda Potatoes.

He was introduced by President | Requa of the Central Pacific Railroad | Company. 1 The first toast was, “The Health of C. | P. Huntington.” To this the host re-| sponded as follows: { “'Gentlemen: Again I have the sincere | NEW TO-DAY! | BABY’ SKIN - Inall the world there is no other treatment 80 pure, 50 sweet, so safe, 8o speedy, for pre- serving, purifying, and beautifyving the skin, scalp, and hair, and eradicating every hu- mor, a8 warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, and ‘gentle anointings with CUTICUEA (oint- ment), the great skin cure. ticura 1s gold throughout the world.

They bave done me the Lonor 10accept my and on behalf of all of you, well as myself, 1 extend to these gentle- men who come to us from the engineers and conductors of the Southern Pacific Company our cordial greetings. “We all serve the same master—the I think, indeed, that of all the classes of labor in the world, from the highest to the lowest, there is no body of | men who are more immediately the ser- vants of the people than we. We exist for their convenience, and we cannot live | without them. | At vhe same time, it may as justly be | 4 tuat without railroad men the world to-day might be living in huts, and Cal 1 ve little to recom- | mend her except us climate and | the illusions of a patoral life. Since we are, then, at once the servants and the civilizers of mank it would seem to be | a plain daty, in the interest of ourselyes as of the public, that we gat closer to the people, acquaint ourselves with their situ- stion and their needs, and, as far as pos- sible within the lines of our duty to the company, meet their requirements. “The gentlemen who represent the con- | ductors and engineers this evening come | closer to the people than some of the rest of us. Their responsibilities are of the highest order, because they concern the lives and the safety of the traveling pub- lic. There is no higher type of hero than the man at the lever, who, at the supreme moment of peril, faces a dreadful alterna- e and stands fast at his post. of trumpet, no aging shout of comrades, no passion and | excitement of battle, stimulate his cour- age. With his engine plunging into the fire of & burning bridge, or into an abyss which yawns at his feet, orinto the wreck | of other engines and trains like his own, | he holds on because his duty bids him stay. “It is not the fortune of most of you, gentlemen, who are the administrative | officers of the railway company, to ever | auain saintship by this heroic method, and I presume I could count on the fin- gers of at least both nands the number of | you present here to-night who honestly | Tegretit. At the same time the duty rests upon us, as officers, to do our part in min- | imizing the risk sustzined by the travel- ing public, so faras itcanbe done through a perfect roadbed and equipment, and 1n- telligent agement of the properties, and in eliminating as 1ar as possible the danger to our trainmean. T have many times expressed my pride in tne personnel of the Southern Pacific Company, and it has been justified by the | letters I have received from travelers over our lines, who have praised in the high- est terms the uniform courtesy of our It is only fair to say to you, gentlemen, who are the officers and heads of departments of the respec- | tive companies, that 1 have no doubt the | same thing has been written about your- selves, only the letters were probubly written to some other person, or else I bave for the moment forgotien | them. “Since our last reunion the Nation has electea a new President. For his predeces- or I have alwuys had the greatest respect because 1 have felt that while he was in the chair the country was safe. He was strong man, believing firmly in his own | theories, but confronted by conditions which prevented him from carrying out those theories. Mr. McKinley is likewise a strong man, and under his patriotic guidance we have no fears for the ship of state. His administration commences under encouraging auspices and promisos, and we all look forward to the fuifiliment of the latter, which means so much of substantial prosperity for the whole coun. try. “Already we hear of mills and factories starting up all over the East, in anticipa- tion of the good times coming. W hether realization or disappointment is in store | for them no one can tell; but after all it | | must be remembered that it is true in a jarge degree that the restoration of bus ness confidence means the actual revival of business itseif, for business is simply the expression of people’s confidence in each other, and when that is lost business languishes. I wish that the capitalists, large and small, of California would re- spond freely to the country’s call for con- fidence, for upon the utilization of capital gepand the progress and prosperity of the tate. _“Agriculture may be the basis of a na- tion’s existence, bus the vigor of its life and of its progress lies in 1its manu- factures. Travel over the world where you will, and you will find that the greatest advances in those things which make up material prosperity have been in those countries where the thrift of the people has ~been expended in manu- factures and the arts. The difference be- tween the value of a product in 1ts crude state and its value alter it has passed through the handsof the artisan is very | great, and in some things so prodigious | as to astonish any one who has not re- | flected upon it. “In my shipyard at Newport News we are building some great battle-ships, weighing each 10,000 tons, ana 1 get for building one of them something over two | and a balf ions. 1 shall not make over 10 per cent on it, which leaves more than $2,250,000 to be disiributed between the labor and the cost of the material used in its construction. Of this fully $2,2 000 will be paid out to laboralone; so that, of the vast total of two and a half millions, 1 verily believe that less than $50,000 rep- resents the cost of the iron in the mine, the timber in the forest and the coal in its bed before the wheels of commerce had ng some representatives | without the men 1 No blare | roll of drum, no encour- | piven employment and support to two | brought it to market or the hand of man it. nia is magnificent in her climate, h people can labor with the mini- of fatigue. Her soil is not only | prolific in_agricultural produce, but rich in the products of her mines and forests. She is unsurpassed in all the primary | conditions necessary to a great future. There is no other place in the world. I be- lieve, where people can buy whatis needed for comfortable living so cheaply as they can here. In her agricultural develop- doing very well, and if they continue, as 1 hope they will, the best possible will be reached. But there is still much to be desired in the direction of manufacture. “The imports of California are much greater than her exports, and while the latter are of raw products, what comes to us from outside the State consists largely of manufactured goods. This is not as it should be, and I would like to see Cali- fornia take her rightiul place among the States as a great manufacturing center, 1n- stead of accepting a tithe for her raw mate- rial and_paying the other nine-tenths to have it fashioned by her more skiliful sis- ters into shapes and forms for the use of her people. California needs a more varied distribution of labor, a distribution which shall weave the interests of her people together and make them more de: pendent on each other’s skiil and bhandi- work, rather than on the labor of those | outside her borders. “People are never at their best where | they sell their products raw and buy them back in manufactured forms. They tell you that this cannot be corrected because Tabor is too high priced, yet we do not utilize the labor we can get. For years the tiber of India was taken to Scotiand, there put into woot and in the form of grain sacks was sent to California by the millions, when California had the climate | and the cheap food for the workmen, and | the only thing to make the manutacture | impracticable here was the price of labor. If we could have had tke cheap labor of Fastern Asia with which to do a portion of the work the industries created would hav Americans for evary Mongolian, but the Americans lost the work for the lack of | the industries which would spring up in | the development of the raw material. This could only be done by workmen whose average price was not much above the rate paid by other manufacturing countries of the world, The State mast | bave more industries if she is ever to be great and prosperous—for I know of no people who sell their raw material and buy their manufactuied goods who ever attained success—and the only way to have more industries is to have iabor at a price which will permit of its utilization. “'No intelligent man questions the gen- eral benefit of our labor-saving machines, which have added so immensely 10 the prosperity and progress of our country; yet we might as well rule them out turn away the labor of the Chinese. have received very little benefits from Eastern Asia in comparison with what we ought to have had. The commerce of ment the people of the State seem to be | China and Iudia have been enriching Western Europe for many centuries and builing up great cities all along tue line of its march, while the west coast of Amer- ica has turned away this trade from our dvors. Large manufactories could nave been in existence here to-day if we had availed ourseives of the cheap labor which is at hand, and, as I have said; the in- dustries created by these would have sup- vorted a large population of our peovle. There are mouths to feed and bodies to clothe and minds to educate and the in- dustries necessitated by these wants are many and varied. | “I'had the pleasure of being present at the anniversary dinner of the Bohemian Club a fortnight ago, and witnessed there | a scene not only memorable but signifi- cant in S8an Franc sco. I saw the Chinese Minister and his suite weicomed with a heartiness and hospitality which did | | honor to the good sense and friendly bearts of those well-known clubmen, whose reputation for wit, keen apprecia- tion of the best things in the intellectual world, and independence in expressing their opinions, have made the club fa- mous. Courteous, kind and manly were the words in which the club’s president— who is with us to-night—greeted the dis- tinguished envoy from China; and, when the cheers which welcomed Wu Ting Fang had subsided, the Minister began hia re- sponse in words which were beautiful to hear, for they touched the hearts of his listeners. { ““I have come,’ said he, ‘to find an old | friend.” He might have added, 1 think, | with truth that he had found many new | ones, and_friends, too, who would assist him in righting any wrongs, if wrongs | they were, which had been suffered by his people at the hands of ours; and as he proceeded with his speech it seemed to me that China had sen: us a representative whno would do honor to his own country and at the same time show us Americans | that all the virtues did not belong to any one race or creed. “I hope that the fine epirit of the Bohe- mian Club may find many imltators on this side of the continent, as it no doubt | will in the East. China can wait, for she is & country which counts her age by cen- turies instead of years, and was old when the first Egyptfan kings were crowned. | “Perhaps I should apologize for intrud- | ing here a subject whick may scem re- moved somewhat from the field in which our thoughts and sliusions would natur- ally gather, but we are to-night a brother- hood, and within that comprehensive circle one may be permitted to speak for that part of humanity which in this country must be more or less defenseless because it has no vote, and whose offense, R RIS I have sometimes thought, lay in its ability to ,save money where others waste. “All these economic questions we, as officers of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, are deeply interested in stuaying, for our prosperity runs on parallel lines | with those of the State. California, com- pared with the rest of ihe United States, has already more railroad facilities than her population would warrant. Wo are preparcd to carry a vastiy greater ton- nage than we are likely to get for many years to come. “The railroad wants tonnage, for only by an increase in business cen it return anything to 1ts stockholders at the present rates. California, with an area of nearly 414 per cent of the entire acreage of the States, has a population of less 2 per cent. The State could easily support a population of ten millions, where there are now, I suppose, not over a million and a half of people. Does California welcome the coming guest ex- | cept with the personal, social hospitality for which she is noted? I meet many Eastern people on their return from a visit to t State who uaiformly praise, and praise extravagantly, the ser- vice given to the State by the Southern Pacific Company, declaring that they have ridden over no finer roads anywhere ana that the charges are lower than they are on any other important railroad in the | worid, considering the conditions which prevail. I th.nk we can justly congratu- late ourselves ihat we are doing our part in the evolution of tue State’s future, and I trust you may live to see our glorious California overflowing with thrifty work- ers and teeming wich countless hives of | industry. “Ouce more, gentlemen, 1 greet you with all my heart and with the sincere hope that I may often have the pleasure of sgain welcoming you under my own roof.” J.

Fennell, formerly Mrs. the allow her to regain her freedom through the courts. She also stated that she paid $10,000 out of her own pocket to satisiy the claims of the attorneys in the matter. The case on trial was that of Emily M. Solly against Theodore . Marcean and r. and Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Fennell. Mrs. ily made some dresses for Mrs. Fennell while she was still Mrs. Marceau and the suit was brought to determine who was responsible for the bill, which amounted to $156. Charles Wesiev Reed repre- sented Mrs. Solly, Rogers & Patterson the photographer and Attorney McPike Mr. and Mrs. Fennell. The main idea of the Fennells and Mrs. Sotly seemed to be to fix the responsi- bility on Marcean, and it was shown that he had sanctioned the purchase and also others in which dresses costing $800 each figured. The efforts were successful, for Justice Barry decided that Marcean was the per- <on who should foot the bill and heen- tered judgment accordingiy. - League of the Cross Rally.
