R T HANFORD'S SKY LIT WITH FIRE, GorgeousEntertainment for the Knights of Pythias. Elaborate Reception Prepared for Supreme Chancellor Colgrove. Candidates Lining Up for Electlon —D. 0. O. K. Lodge Instituted— The Valley Road. HANFORD, CarL., May 19.—It has been & very warm day, but the Grand Lodye of | the Knights of Pythias stuck to its work morning and afternoon. It was on the programme that the uni- formed rank and the members of the Grand Lodge should parade during the afternoon, but the Grand Lodge refused to acjourn for the purposeand the event was vostpened until this evening. Perhaps the weather exerted some influence in this matter, for within the opera-house where the session is held the blinds are all drawn down until the place is 1n twilight, but the atmosphere is comparatively cool. At 6 o'clock, however, led by the Han- ford band in uniforms of white, the Knights formed in procession and marched through all the principal streets of the cellors Stanton L. Carter, George Samuels and I. J. Crowley will meet him at Gosh- en. Here he will_be met at the depot by the entire Grand Lodgeand the Uniformed Rank and riding in a four horse carriage, will be escorted to the quarters reserved |for him at the Aborn. He will after- ward be escorted fo the lodgeroom, where he will be formally weicomed by the Mayor and City officials. The opera-house will be open to the public for the time and the people will have the privilgge of hearing tbe highest officer of the cZer in the world tell them what Pythianism 1s and what it is doing. The supreme chancellor, who comes direct from a session of the grand lodge in Ore- gon, will go from here to Arizona to the rand lodge of that State, and from there be will go to Juneau, Alaska, to institute the order in that Territory.

Given His Freedom Pending the Insolvency Proceedings in Court. Triumphs Over His Wife’s Attor- neys After Passing Six Weeks In a Dreary Cell. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, May 19.—Mrs. Emily B. Finigan is not in posse the $1050 ordered by Superior Judge F. M. Angellotti to be paid to her, yet her hus- band who bas been confined in the Connty Jail of Marin for six weeks and one day for not drawing a check in that sum to her credit walked forth from his cell to- day a free man and a pauper. It was 11 o'clock to-day before the at- torneys for Colonel Finigan came into court to ask for the release of their client. While the case was proceeding Colonel Finigan was still locked in the ladies’ cell 1n the basement of the Court-house. At- torney Sweeney read the order reciting the fact that Colonel Finigan had pre- sented his sworn petition that he was in- solvent and unable to comply with the ent that night, and this was the first occa- sion on which the apparatus had béen shown, except to Government officials. The great difference between the system which had aiready been tried and Mr. Marconi’s system was that in the former a wire “on each’ side was necessary and in the latter no wire was required. Vibra- tions were simply set up by one appazatus and received by the other, the secret being that_the receiver must respond to the number of vibrations of the sender. The apparatus was then exhibited. What appeared to be just twu ordinary boxes were stationed at each end of the room, the current was set in motion at one and a bell was immediately rung in the other. *To sbow that there Was no deception’’ Mr. Marconi held the receiver and carried it about, the bell ringing whenever the vibrations at the other box were set up, Continuing, Mr. Preece said he had had the greatest possible pleasure in telling Mr. Marcon: that day that the postoffice had deciaed to spare no expense in experimenting with his apparatus and one of the first trials would be from Penarth to an island in the channel. He might add that he had the greatest faith in the apparatus. The curious thing about it was that there was no new prin- ciple introduced. The first man who taught us how to sgenerate these waves was Hertz, the Ger- man physicist, and they had been developed by others. Butin making prac- tical use of these waves Mr. Marconi had invented devices which were highly novel and very besutiful, and when they were patented and could be made public he thought they would be admired by evory- body. Lord Kelvin it was who dubbed the apparatus first used for setting up these vibrations “the electric eye,” and ia this connection he mi-ht say that there had been a great deal of nonsense written about Professor Bose, who, beyond experiment- ing on these waves, had aone notbing. He 'ventured to say that the subject was not only interesting in itself, but if the ex- veriments were successful—as he believed they would be—it would be of inestimable value to our ships, for it would provide another easy way of communicating with lightships and Jighthouses. To take an instance: Since last year they had had a cable with tne Fastnet d by Brigadier-General C. F. Mc- Glashan. The uniformed rank forces of the camp were under command of Colonel Fish of the Second R ment, Colonel rney hiad command of the brigade staff, ¥ Mosgrave was commander of the local division. They wore full-aress uniforms and white helmets and marched to the opera-house, where and in waiting, under command of Colonel S. C. Lonmeyer. The uniformed rank formed as ‘an escort and the procession went over the route laid out, which terminated at the campground on [rwin street. There it | vassed in review before the dier- general.

Arndt ot San Diego, State Senator E. J. Wolfe of San Fraacisco, and Joseph | Colegrove and J. H. Liggett, of Sacra- | mento, The contest for this place, which places the succes candidate in direc line for grand chaucelior and is equiva. lent, indeed, to electing him to the office 1wo years hence, is, of course. of the warm- est description. For grand & seals, Colonel Herman Snaffner of San | Francisco, who hes held the office for so many years, will be chosen again. Grand Master cf tihe Exchequer Steve G. Little of | Dixon, will also be re-elected. For grand master-at-arms there are two candidates, J. H. Abbott of Stockton and F. W. G. Morosco of San Francisco. Thera may be others. This office will be awarded on a geographical basis according as the election of the higher officers in contest may be determined. There are three trustees to be elected, and so far as heard from there are five candidates. They are C. 0. Alkire of Riverside, C. O. Clarke of Mott, F. E. Cor- rigen of Merced, Colonel A. Perrier of San eper of the records and | Francisco, I. lrwin of Oceanside and George Saunders of San Francisco. 1¥For the office of subreme representa- tive there is another contest hotter than the weather. To be a supreme represen- tative one must be a past grand chancelior. The newest of these has entered the fizht in his own enereetic fashion, but he has for competitors a distineuished list. They are Judge A. J. Buckles o1 Suisun, Crowley f San Rafael, Carl E. Lindsay George E. Church of Fresno and Walker C. Graves of San Francisco. James Johnson of Sacramento will be elected inner guard, ana J. H. Blackman of Stockton will probably be eiected outer ;;m\rd. The election will be held on Fris day. To-morrow the Grand Lodge will give another day of sharp attention to business. By the evening train from the north, Supreme Chancellor Colgrove, the highest officer of the order, will arrive. Past Supreme Representative Eli T. Blackmer of San Diego: has been dispatched to meet him at the State line.

MAKING LINCOLN PiES}’}NTABLE. | Mrs. Lincoln ““Fixed Up’ the President- Elect to Meet a Delegation. In narrating *“When Lincoln Was First | naugurated,” in the Ladies’ Home Jour- nal, Stephen Fiske writes interestingly of the memorable journey from. Springfield, IiL., to the National capital, and tells of | irs. Lincoln’s efforts to have her hus- band look presentable when receiving a delegation that was to greet them upon reaching New York City. “The train stopped,” writes Mr. Fiske, “and through tue ~windows immense crowds. could be seen. The cheering | arowned the blowing off steam of the loco- | | motive. Then Mrs. Lincoln opened her handbag ana said: “*Abrabam, I must fix you up a bit for these city folks." *‘Mr. Lincoln gently lifted her upon the seat before him; she parted, combed and brushed his hair and arranged bis black necktie. ***Do I look nice now, mother?’ he af- | fectionately asked. **Well, yowll do, Abraham,’ replied | Mrs. Lincoln critically. So he kissed her | and liftea her down from the seat, and | turned to meet Mayor Wood, courtly and | suave, aud to have his hand shaken by the other New York officials.” ! gl o X Etiquette in Parliament.

The Judge stated that he would release Colonel Finigan pending the in- 80 Ivency proceedings. So there is a string attached to Colonel Finigan’s liberty, There was an interesting scene in Colonel Finigan's celi when he was re- leased. His daughter, his attorneys, the Sherilf and a number of newspaper men were Dpresent to bid the prisoner godspeed, He shook hands with his friends and walked about as happy asa schoolboy with a new toy. There was a bunch of roses on the tabie in his cell, and while the sun beat down unmercifuily upon the heads of those outside, the cell where Colonel Finizan had passed six weeks of bis 1fewas as cool and plessant | a spot as one could find. “I suppose we will have to put a ‘to-let’ sign on the door,” said he and smiled. “I'1l have to leave my picture eallery, t00,” be continued as Le looked at the cartoons and coiored engravings from the comic papers which adorned his wall. The colonel was not in a hurry to leave, and be lingered in the prison for some time. Then he said good-by und thanked his jailers for the kind treatment he had recéived, Next Monday an assignee will be ap- pointed to take charge of the affairs of Colonel Finigan, TELEGRAPHY _WITHOUT WIRES, Authoritative Acc: Import ant of a Simple and t Invention. W. H. Preece, the telegraphic expert of the postoflice, had a surprise in store for his audience at Toynbee Hall on Saturday night, when he lectured on “Telegraphy Without Wires,”” says .the London Chronicle. There is, of course, nothing new in the fact of being able to com- municate without wires, but toward the close of his lecture Mr. Preece ‘announced that a new invention, which might have the widest possivle influence not only on the future of telegraphy, but on the safe navigation of ships, had lately been brought before the department, and no expense would be spared to test it. Mr, Maurconi, a young [ialian electric:an, came to him recently, he said, with a system of telegraphy without wires, depsnding not on electro-magnetic but on electrostatic effects—that is to say on electric waves set up of a much higher rate of vib: tion, 250,000,000 a s2cond i fact. These vibrations were projected through spaze in straight lines, and could be re- flected and refracted like light—indeed, they were capable of all the phe- nomena which light was allowed 1o go through. The invention—which dealt with the method of recelving and sending messages by this means—was first experi- mented with on the roof of the postoffice, and then for three-quarters of a mile om Salisbury Pialn..

But there was a possibility beyond this ot enabling ships as they came near dangerous rocks and shallows to receive an intimation of the fact by these electric waves, Neither day nor night made any difference, fog nor rain nor snow woultd not interfere with them, and if the invention was whst he believed it to be our mariners would have been given a new sense and a new friend, which would make navigation infinitely easier and safer than it now was, —————— MADRID SOCIETY TQ-DAY. Even in.the Distress of War-Time Span- ish Gayety Goes On in the Old Way, The Queen Regent of Spain appears nowhere in public at present except dur- ing her Saturday drive to a church where, according to ancient custom, the sovereign of Spain goes weekly to pray—and his mamma with him—so that the public sees them en route. The chureh, by the way, like all the churches in Madrid, is very ugly and very gorgeous, not like the noble The daily in the park, the Buon Retiro, goes to the Royal Theater, and in general does what sne can to preserve the look of gayety which Madrid still wears under the shadow of war. “Everything Spanish is for the Span- fards.” . This favorite adage of the Cas- Madrid at this moment. No European capital is less cosmopolitan than the capital of Spain. The Spanish dislik» of foreigners is an ingrained thing, althou :h, until the present state of strained rela- tions between Spain and ihe United States, the Spaniards in general showed more liking for our compatriots than for any Europeans. The distance and the freedom of these *Estados Unidos” affect the popular Spanish imagination, and Americans traveling in the Iberian Peninsula have found a quick relaxation ?r manner on the part of Spaniardson irst arning that they were ““not English bh,” but “‘Americans speaking Eng- ’ a relaxing followed o:ten by cor- diality.

The society journals record the appear- ance at the theater or park of ten lines of names of duchesses, five lines of mar- chionesses, tiree lines of countesses, a half-Qozen viscountesses, three or four baronesses and a few sencras and senor- itas.—Boston Transeript. ————— There are severai wooden railways in Canada and the United States. One of them is in the proviuce of Quebec and is thirty miles long.

GOLD-FINDERS' BIG ASSEMBLY California Will Be on Hand at the Denver Gath- ering. A New Agitation for a Cabinet O ficer Will Be Vigcrously Started There. The Oificial Call for the First Iater national Gold-Mining Convention Starts Activity Here. The International Gold Mining conven- tion, which will meetin Denver on July 7 for a three days’ session, has at last loomed up in a definite way before the mining interests of California. The circu- lars of invitation from the executive com- mittee In charge have reached Secretary Julian Sonntag of the California Miners’ Association, Governor Budd and commer- eial oreanizations. Leading California mining men are dis- playing interest in the convention. This will be the first general gathering of min- ing men ever held. Its originators and promoters, the commercial and mining organizations ol Denver, have called it “international,” and the mining countries of British, Central and South America are asked to join in, but for practical pur- poses it will be an American interstate af- fair. This being the first convention and a new thing the programme and scope are naturally somewbat inchoate. Probably the bigeest single thing taken up will be the proposition to create a department of mining in the Federal Government and a Cabinet officer representing this vast in- terest. This idea was first given an im- petus by the California Miners’ Associa- tion "wiih the vigorous cnampionship of Tue CALL. The demand will be vigor- ously expressed by the convention and it will undoubtedly be presented to the trans- Mississippi Congress. The Californians will actively urge this proposition, and also the one for a revision and extension of the Federal mining laws, which the California Miners' Associa- tion took up a year ago. Uniformity of State legislation is another of the many definite things now in view. One of the most important features will be a_discus- sion and display of the best methods of gold mining and gold saving. California will be entitled to send an army of delegates, and quite a number will” doubtless go. The Governor is to name thirty, each county and each city and each town is entitled to five, and so is every chamber of commerce, miners’ organization and commercial organiza- tion. Upon receivice tbe official call yes- terday Secretary Sonntag at once wrote to Pre-ident J. H. Neff and a meeting of the executive committee will be held in a few days to take action looking to an acti and creditable participation from this State. The call 1s signed by Robert F. Hunter, chairman of the executive com- mittee, and Irwin Mahon, secretary, and contaifis a summary of -the objects of the convention, Secretary - Sonntag and - othera; want a. large mineral exhibit sent from the min- ing bureau, but nothing in_ this direction has been done. It remaina to be seen how far_ California makers of mining machinery will be inclined to send ex- bibits. The time for preparation is very sbort and the success of the convention can now be only guessed at in advance, but the first one will doubiless be fol- lowed by otber and greater ones, and the second one wiil probably be held in San | Francisco. FINGERS BEFORE FORKS, Concerning the Origin of Spoons of the Thirteenth Century. If you desire to know avout the scarcity of really reliuble aata on the history of spoons, take down your hundbooks and encyclopedias and see if it doesn’t take you a long while to learn anything con- cerning their origin, *'nativity,” ete, In fact, the antiquarians do not pretend to give us anything of value in that line. It is admitted that they are “very ancient,”’ but just exact!y how old they are, and by wbom and where they were first used, are points upon which we are left comnpletely in the dark, Creighton says: *‘Spoons must_have been a very anclent invention, for a Saxon spoon of perforated silver giit, ornamented with gems, was found in a wrave at Sarre, Thanet.” When forks were unknown spoons played a vers important part at he iabie. Spoons of the tuirteenith century, and even later, had handles terminating in a knob, knot, acorn or other odd and cum- bersome devices. About the period of the restoration, of which so much is said in Enelish history, a great change was made in the forms of ‘spoons. In some of the unique patterns the ‘‘'spoon’” part was divided 1nto two, three, and even four varts, and even the handie always split or twisied or turned up, instead of down and back. Spoons of that period were all blunt, instead of being pointed, as in_the forms generally seen at present. They continued short and blunt down to the time of George 1, when they were first made pointed and had the-handles turned down 1instead of up, About the year 1500 what were known as “apostle spoons” were introduced. They were 8o called because they had the figures of the twelve apostles carved upon their handles. They were generally given by sponsors to children at their time of baptism. The wealthy presented the en- tire twelve—those who could not afford to induige in such extravagance giving one or more, according as they felt able. ‘The most curious and remarkable spoon in the world, perhaps, is a ‘‘coronation spoon,”” preserved among the other royal relics in the Tower of London. The bowl is of gold and .the handle ot silver. The handle is split down the middle and set with all kinds of prectous stones. The relic is valued at about £20,000, or upward or $100,000.—St. Lounis Repubirc. —————— OALLERS AND OFFTCE-SEEKERS. General Harrison Suggests a Plan for the Relief of the President.

A feature that he treats with directness relates to the President’s lnterrngllon_l from callers and office-seekers. “It is arare vood fortune,” he writes, ““during arly months of an administration if the President gets one wholly uninter- rupted hour at his desk each day. The President’s time is so broken into bits that he is often driven to late night work, or to set up a Gesk in his bedroom when preparing a8 message or other papers re- quiring unbroken attention. “Thoughtlessness is the root of all this. ‘I only want five minutes’; and if he were the only one it could be spar d; but his double is at his heels, and the urgent pub- lic business is postpon+d or done at night with a jaded mind. It may be said that untimely visitors should be excluded, and 8o they should; but thoughtfulness on their part wouid be a cure without a smart.” Regarding the office-seekers’ persistency in having personal interviews with the President, General' Harrison asserts that they advance their cause but little if at all. ‘““‘But the feeling that something is or may be gained by a per- sonal interview prevails, and for the first vear and a half of an administration the President spends from four to six hours of each day talking about things he will not have to act upon for months, while the things that ought to be done presently are hurtfully postponed. “If the President could make up and publish an appointn.ent docket and notify all persons baving anything to sayina particalur case to ‘draw near’ on a fixed y, it wonld result in a great saving of time all around, and a great saving of money to the applicants, who could re- main at home until summoned to appezr.
