THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1897 OLD SAN JUAN HAS A BIRTHDAY The Quaint Little Town Awakes From a Long Slumber. Thousands of Visitors Partici- pate in Its Centennial Celebration. Religlous Services, Street Parade, Feasting, Dancing and General Jollification. SAN JUAN, Cav., June 24.—The quaint old town of 8an Juan, which, away from the line of the railroad and out of the beaten track of business and travel, has lain asleep in the midst of its hills for nearly fifty years, has at last awakened trom its lethargy. And what an awaken- ingl In what a gay garb and splendid ceremonial has she decked herself for this ber reappearance upon the stage of active affairs! Time was when San Juan, being the center of a large and populous grain, cattle and sheep district, was a town of no small importance to the old Californians; when as a stage station for travel up and down the coast a constant siream of trav- elers passed turough it; when its mission, one of the largest and finest in Alta Cali- fornia, was a rendezvous for ecclesiastics of prominence and wer. But all this passed and the town fell into quietude and rest. To-day, however, when the zayly dressed throng pressed in and out of the prettily decorated, ancient, crooked little styeets, across the plaza, under the arches of the picturesque colonnade, into the old church itself, or wherever an object of interest appeared, or when the splendid vestments of the officiating priests formed a color study before the britliantly lighted altar at tue pontifical high mass, those few in ihe assembly who remembered San Juan in the days of her glory were forced to acknowledge that never before had she shown a spectacle to compare With that of to-day. The ceremonies of the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Mission of San Juan Bautista by the Franciscan fathers under Junipero Serra, in a way, began last night with the lecture of Bishop Montgomery upon the “Duties of a Citizen” and contnued through a Spanish supper served in the old mission corridors in true Spanish style, and a series of early masses said by the visiting pri is morning; bat the true beginning occurred at 10 o’clock this morning, when pontifical high mase was celebrated by Bishop Montgomery and his aitendant priests and deaconsin the interesting century-old mission church. The church was packed to suffocation loug before the appointed hour and the seople waited more or less patiently for d bells, temporarily rehung for the sion, to give the signal ior the com- mencement of the mass. These bells were taken from the crumbling bell-tower about ten years ago and placed upon a scaffolding in the vestibule of the church; but recently they have been raised aloft again, so that io-day they might once more £il the valley with their mellow Fromptly at 10 o’clock, whiie the bells were still ringing, a procession of sixteen priests, arrayed in their rich ceremonial vestments and attended by altar-boys, en- tereda the chancel and the choir began the opening notes of the mass. This solemn mass is always a most impressive cere- mony end it seemed doubly so to-day, be- ing celebrated upon an altar whose erec- tion 100 years ago was made possible by the labor and sacrifice of those devoted Franciscan fathers of the mission rezime. Right Rev. George Montgomery, Bishop of Monterey and Los Ancgeles, was the celebrant, and Father Hudson of Gilroy acted as chief assistant. Father Marron of Watsonville was master of ceremouies, and two priests of the Franciscan order performed the offices of deacons. The sermon—a fine discourse upon the influ- ence of the work done by the founders of the California missions—was delivered by Rev. Father R. M. Mestres of Monterey, and was listened to with profound atten- tion by ail within the sound of his voice, both inside and outside the church build- ing. The mass closed with the benedic- tion of the biessed sacrament at 12 0’clock. Tte civic portion of to-day’s programme began with & cavalry driil in the amphi- theater adjoining the plaza by Troop C, N. G. C. from Salinas, commanded by Captain M. J. Burke. This drill wasa crediiable exhibition and was witnessed by an immense crowd of people. Indeed, tiiroughout the entire celebration the crowd felt many times too large for the little town in which it found itsell. At the close of the pontitical massthe literary exercises occurred in the plazain iront of the mission building. A consider- able crush was occasioned at the entrance to the church by those who had suc- ceeded in getting inside to hear the mass trying to press their way out into the already overcrowded plaza. After music by the Banta Cruz band Hon. Thomas Fiint Jr., president of the day, opened the literaTy exercises with a sbort introductory address in which, in behalf of the committee of arrangements, he welcomed the visitors to this century- old town and spoke in a general way upon other subjects as well. He then intro- duced as the orator of the occasion Hon. M. T. Dooling, the eminent San Benito County jurist. Judge Dooling’s oration showed thought and experience and was throughout a masterly effort. The centennial poem, composed by Miss M. A. Fitzgerald, was delivered effectively by Miss Katie T. Shafer. The speeches were interspersed with music by the Sants Cruz band and songs by tne chil- dren of tiie San Juan Convent. The event of the civic portion of the day’s ceremonies, the grand parade, took place at 2 o’clock. It was scheduied for 1». M, but owing to various delaying cir- cumstances did not start till an hour later. Grand Marshal Thomas Flint Jr. and his aids—William Canfield, Daniel ‘Wilson Jr., Richard Flint and George Bentler—came first in the order of march, and were followed by the Santa Cruz pand discoursing lively music. Cavalry Troop C from Salinas followed next, and immediately preceded the first float, which was an allegorical presentaiion of the past and present of SBan Juan. The Portuguese Union of Hollister walked next in line, a hundred strong. Tie San Juan band and fire departments of Ban Juan and Follister were followed by a float containing eight gray-haired Mexicans—some of the first inhabitants of ,8an Juan and the oldest men now llving in the town. The oldest of this group was bent over with more than four-score years, but still able to_get about. He jought in the Mexican War. To-day he was bedecked in the old-fashioned uni- form of the Mexican trooper and carried the same sword and cap &s of old.. He, indeed, made an interesting spectacle, and was truly a relic of the past. Ten couples of ladies on horseback, their steeds led by couriers, represented allegorically the different periods of Cali- fornia’s history. A float representing an old Spanish hut, containine about a dozen of the old Mission Indian women, was greatly appreciated by the assembled crowds. The-e senoras were engagea in the old-fashioned mode of making bread by grinding corn in a crude bowl (matata)—a rock hollowed out and used like = mortar and pestle. ‘Two floats, a Spanish village and & hay wagon full of dark-eved senoritas, were followed by the last division of the parade, the wheelmen of all the neighboring towns, esch man carrying his club colors in long flying ribbons. The procession passed through the town and on to Breen's Grove, a quarter of a mile beyond town, where a typical Spanish barbecue was held unaer the willow trees. Here there were toasis ahd speeches again, the principal ones being delivered by Judge Dooling and Charles G. Cargill, president of the executive committee. Notwithstanding the bountiful provi- sions made for the hungry visitors by those who had in charge the arrangements for the barbecue the supply of roast ox and other edibles fell very far short of the requirements. Many people who did not follow the line of march to the picnic grounds, thinking to get their luncheon in town, were sorely disappointed, asevery- thing in an eatable way gave out before ualf of them had been served. This was the only unpleasant feature to mar the day’s success, which in every other par- ticular was most marked. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Bishop Mont- gomery and other visiting clergy were banqueted in the Mission building by Rev. Fatber Closa, the priest at San Juan par- ish. The room where the banquet took place was tastefully decorated with flowers and growing plants, and over the main entrance were the combined folds of the American, Mexican and Spanish flags. There were seventeen priests at the ban- quet table. < A marked feature of the celebration is the amountof dancing which is being done. A fandango which succeeded the Spanish supper last night began the terp- sichorean revels and continued until the small hours of the morning. To-day the ancing began at an early hour on the floor which was built for the purpose in the barbecue grove and continued without interruption, the Santa Cruz and San Juan bands, which furnished the music, reliev- ing each other in turn till the opening of the grand official ball at Plaza Hall at9 o'clock this evening. In town the guests were provided with a Spanish supper at the Mission building, between the hours of 5 and 8, and at 9 p. M. the open air concert in the plaza gave pleasure to the many who remained to see the closs of the ceremonies. The day's festivities were concluded with the official ball at Plaza Hall, which was a brilhant and successful affair. The board of man- agers of thecivic and the committee in charge of the religiousgportion of the cele- bration are pleased with the success of the day, for considering the size ot the town, its disadvantageous situation for any kind of a public celebration, and the many difficuities which had to be surmounted, to-day’s affair is the greatest success of its kind which California has seen in recent years. It is estimated that over 3000 people came into San Juan to-day and many were here already. SAN JOSE PUPILS MADE TEACHERS Diplomas for Nineteen Normal School Graduates.

WALLA WALLA, Wasa., June 24.—A daring attempt was made to rob the store of Cochran & Johnson at Dixie last night which occasioned great excitement in the hittie town. About 9 o'clock a masked man entered ihe store and pointed a Winchester ritle at Charles Cochran and Orley Jenkins and ordered them te throw up their bands. Cochran began yelling, and the robber pulied the trigger, but the gun failed to go off. Cochran’s cries for help soon brought a large crowd, but the masked man had run out and disappeared in the darkness. In afew minutes the entire_town was aroused and a search was made, but the would-be robber was not found. The postoffice is in the store building and considerable money belong- ing tofarmers is generally .on deposit in the safe. At s To and From reattle for a Somg.

Among Gigantic Trees They Watch the Process of Logging. of Welcome by the Little Town’s Schoolmistress—Songs by the Children. EUREKA, Can, June 24.—Cslifornia Commandery No. 1, accompanied by a large number of Bir Knights of Eureka Commandery No. 35, Knights Templar, and ladies spent the day at Korbel as the guests of Sir Knight Antone Korvel of California Commandery. The pilgrimage left Eureka on the steamer Alta at 9:30 A. M., and proceeded up the bay to the Ar- cata wharf, where a train was in waiting to convey the members to Korbel and into the heart of the redwoods. Across the trestle over the waters of Humboldt Bay, through towns and past acres of blackened stumps—all that re- mains of a once noble forest—a little en- gine, about which there was an air of seli- importance, puffed along with the pleas- ure-seekers, never stopping until the des- tination was reached. At Korbel there was much to be seen that was novel to the excursionists. The methods employed in converting the buge logs into lumber were first looked intoin a casusl way. The party was then taken into green timber, where the process of logging was fully explained by Bir Knight Antone Korbel and Manager Zaruba. The bull donkey, & machine used for dragging the logs from the fell- ing-ground to the dump, was put to the test, and proved itself capable of exerting a great force by pulling a long line of im- mense logs a quarter of a mile over un- even ground. At this time Sir Knight Deuprey, who had mounted a giant redwood butt to ob- tain a better view of the surrounding country, was called npon for & speech. He admitted that, although he had taken the stump in many political campaigns, this was the first time he had ever ad- dressed an assemblige from a genuine stump. He wanted it distinctly under- stood, however, that the political stumps he had ascended were all solid enough. On returning to Korbel the party found | & splendid lunch awaiting it. As soon as | the guests were seated Mrs. Stearns, teacher of the Korbel school, made an ad- dress of welcome and informed the vis- itors that a short programme would be given by the schoolchildren. The curtain went up and disclosed 10 view twenty or thirty schoolchildren, provided with fiags, which they vigorously waved to the music of “The Star-spangled Banner.” Short patriotic selections by the children concluded the programme. After toasts had been given and re- sponded to by Commander Hurlbut, Sir Knight Fraser (captain of the drill corps), Rev. Mr. €mith, Judge Wilson of the Eu. reka Commandery and Sir Knicht Deuprey, the party again adjourned to tho redwoods, where the rest of the afterncon was spent. Occidenta! Pavilion in this ¢ity was filled this evening with people who came from all parts of the county to witness the ii)ml exercises of California Commandery No.1end Eureka Commandery No. 35, Knights Templar. After the consecration of banners, the drill corps of California Commandery gave an exhibition drill, which was the most Intricate affair of its kind ever executed here. The tactics of the corps both surprised and delighted the audience beyond measure. The following musical programme was then rendered: Violin solo, Miss L. Gregor; cornet duet, Messrs. Hurlbut; vocal solo, Mrs. Ricks; trombone duef, Mr. and Mrs. Tobin; recitation, Mrs. Dorn; selection, Bennett's orchestra, Dancing was then commenced o the de- lightful strains of Bennett's orchestra, the grand march being led by Commander T. B. Cutler and Mrs. Fletcher Cutler. TRACY HAS 4 TANNER. Fasts for Twenty-Five Days, but Feels No IU Effects, STOCKTON, CAL, June 24.—A singular case of fasting occurred here several weeks ago. The person who abstained from food was H. C. Banta, a resident of Tracy, who was visiting a relative at 122 South Com- merce street in this city. Since then he has returned to his bome in Tracy. Mr. Banta had no desire to emulate Tanaer, the originator of the long-fasting bouts; in fact, he would have been glad to take nourishment, but he had completely lost his appetite and could not eat. This condition is supposed to have arisen from & severe cold which he caught in the mountains and which developed into a slight attack of pneumonia. When he had recovered from his sickness be found that food was distasteful to him. Supoos- ing that his appetite would return in a few days bhe paid little attention to the matter at first; but when day followed day and still he could not eat and the days grew to be weeks the situation began to be serious. For twenty-five days he took no nourishment, unless a little tea and some whisky taken t ulate him can be called such. From the 1st of May to the 25th he ate nothing. After thal he began to drink milk and gradually his appetite returned. The fasting did not seem to hurt him in sny way. e e PLACER BRITISHERS CELEBRATE. 2heir Jubiles Ends With a« Dance on Hlluminated Grounds, AUBURN, CaL., June 24.—The British- ers of Placer County concluded their jubi- lee festivities last night at the handsome grounds of H. G. Ponting, near Auburn. The surroundings were brilliantly illam- inated with electric lights, and the streamer decorations were here and there dotted with the Union Jack and American flags, Old Glory occupying the station of honor in the center. Captain W. J.

POMEROY, Wasa, June 24.—Sheriff Baldwin, Deputy Russeil and Chief of Po- lice Sherrill last nightin this city arrested ‘William Jones of Asotin City, and W. L. Reed and Elisha Blankenship of Peola, in‘tbis county, for cattle rustling. They had the cattle in their possession and had made sale of them to W. J.

Not being able to give bonds, they are still in the custody of the Sheriff. The officers are now in ch of others suspected of being membersof the gang. —_— VANCOUVER IN HALF HOURNING, Failure of Two Projects That Were Full of Promise for the Brit.sh Colum- bian City. VANCOUVER, B. C., June 24.—The city of Vancouver is now in at least half mourning over two things—tbe failure hy coast negotiators to obtain from the Do- minion Government of Canada a large subsidy in aid of direct raiiroad connec- tion between Vancouver and the Kootenay cities and the coliapse of the local en- deavor to obtain, under the auspices of capitalists in London, England, a local smelter and refinery. The failure of the first effort leaves the trade of the Kootenay still very largely in the hands of Spokane, while the collapse of the second movement means that for at least another year, without attempt at Vancouver opposition, a iarge and in- creasing volume of British Columbia ores and concentrates will pass weekly, and may be oftener, through this port en route for smelting and refining in San Francisco. Vancouver offered free water and tax exemption for ten years—a value in all during that peried of perbaps $50,000—but the London capitalists evidently do mot think the offer good enough for the capi- tal required and rick involved. So they back out aiter montbs of fruitiess nego- tiation and now ask a bonus of $65,000 from Vancouver, with liberty to place the smelter outside and opposite the city, at Seymour Creek. The City Council thinks the site sug- gested of too little benefit to Vancouver and the bonus asked too large, and, as it is certaia that in this the citizens agree with their Council, the smelter negotiations collapse. 8o for a long time to come San Francisco smelters and refiners will not have to fight a rival industry—not even one on a small scale—in Vancouver. e BANITARY AUGGESTIONS, What the State Board of Health Finds on Its Inspection Towr. LOS ANGELES, CAn, June 24—The State Board of Health, after making a tour of California and visiting all the public institutions, has returned to Los Angeles. The only criticism the board has made publicly was upon the State Normal 8chool in this city, and that di1 not reflect upon the management. Dr. D. Crowley of Oakland said: “We found the Normal School in a very fair condition. One fault was found with the lighting of a few rooms of the first floor. It is very likely that the board will recom- mend that the window space be increased. A slight change will be made in the plumbing of one of the closets. The plumbing, in the main, was considered or Pierce of the Normal School it would require $5000 to put a ting system 1n the school. Last year the State Legislature passed a bill propriating $5000 for the school, but it was vetoed by Governor Budd. Members of the board expressed them- selves as pleased with what they saw at the Highlands asy/um, but say the insti- tation is overcrowded. The Whittier school was inspected to- aay and its sanitary condition approved. The board will recommend that the County Supervisors appoint an inspector to look after the infection of cows and es- pecially for tuberculosis. —_— OUT ON HalE4S CORPUS. Bausali s Marshal Must Pay His Fine or Go to Prison. MILL VALLEY, CaL., June 24.—To-day was the time set for Marshal John E. Creed of Sausalito to either pay $150 to Recorder Pryor or serve 150 days in the County Jail. Creed failed to pay the fine and surrendered himself to Sheriff Henry Harrison at San Rafsel.

TACOMA, Wasm, June 24—Advices from China per steamer Vietoria tell of a rather serious mutiny which recently broke out at Setzlin, about eight miles from Woosung, among the native-drilled troops quartered there. It seems that after their inspection by the Governor of the province it was decided to discharge about half of the men aud replace them with a smalier number of foreign-drilled men from the forts. Three months’ extra pay was given them, but they demanded seven months, and, being refused, pro- ceeded to loot the officers’ quarters and tear down their houses. Regulars were dispaiched to the scene from Woosung and arrived in time to save General Pang, in command, from being shot. The mu- tineers were compelled to surrender and the principal ringieader was decapitated. This ended the insurrection. —_— Took Morphine for Despondency.
