The request for gen- eral attendance is embodied in this paragraph of the circular: “The joint committee of the San | Francisco parlors voted unanimously in | favor of joining the parade and it is| hoped that every. member of+ every parlor within reasonable | distance of San Francisco will heartily | join in the celebration of an event 0 | important to the history of our times | and which turned the eyes of all coun- | | tries toward the land where was gath- ered under one sky a panorama of the wealth and beauty of the world.” | An important session of the parade committee was held last evening at Native Sons’' Hall. It was decided that arade should represent five or six al epochs in the history of Cali- The periods for representation are the Indian, Me n, mission, min- ing, American acquisition and the pres- ent period of prosperity.

J. W. West, a Candy-Maker, Ex-} pires in a Cell in the City | | I Prison. | J. W. West, proprietor of the Log | Cabin candy-store, 1322 Market street, | died in the ‘“drunk” cell at the City | Prison yester afternoon about 1 o’clock He was arrested about 7 o'clock in the morning on Seventh street, and was so drunk that he could neither | speak nor stand. He had been several | times milar condition, and noth- | ing unusual was thought of it, but | about ] o'clock another inmate of the cell noticed that he had stopped breathing. A telephone message was | sent to the Receiving Hospital and Dr. Bunnell respond:d. He found that West was dead, and the body was sent to the Morgue. West’s wife and daughter, who live at 415 Jones street, were notified, and they hurried to the prison to see the | body before being taken away in th1:1 | Morgue Wagon.

Chinese Vice Consul Ho Yow yester- day reported the result of his confer- ence with the Chinese Six Companies. The indications are that the Chinese will produce a more gorgeous display city. The Chinese merchants are en- thusiastic in support of the scheme and promise hearty co-operation. The per- formers in the Chinese theaters will appear in their brilliant and striking costumes representative of an Oriental pageant. The preliminary sketch, subject to modifications, for the historical struc- ture contemplated by the golden jubi- | lee parade.committee to span Market street in place of the usual classic arch with heroic figures, has been placed in the hands of the committee. At the top of this structure will be an identical representation of Sutter's | mill at Coloma as it was on January | 24, 1848. The ground surrounding the mill will be constructed in the form of an arch, the two massive supports will consist of bowlders and earth thrown together at random. In a niche hol- lowed in one support will be a figure representing spring; in the corre- sponding support will stand summer. Hard by the mill the two gigantic | pines that stood by Sutter’s mill will be represented by natural trees, and | the remainder of the summit will be | covered with jarth, grass and shrub- bery. The t race from the mill will taining the ‘act spot of the discov- ery, will aisu be portrayed.

In order to enccurage a large turn out the committee decided to offer a prize to the parlor parading the larg- est number of men and a prize to the parlor which parades the largest pe centage of its members. Indications are that many of the interior pariors will join the pageant. A sub-committee of the finance com- mittee yesterday visited many of the departments of the municipal govern- ment in the new City Hall and received gratifying assurances of pecuniary | support. PO i S— | DURRANT'S LAST APPEAL. | Claims His Case Is Still in the United States Court. Another last effort to save Durrant’s life was made yesterday afternoon by | his attorneys filing in the Supreme Court a petition for a certificate of probable cause, accompanied by the trapscript on appeal. The petitioner assails the right of Superior Judge Bahrs to sentence him, holding that there ig in fact an appeal now pending in the Supreme Court of | the United States. This position was to some extent a surprise to the officers of the State, for it was generally be- lieved that the many ends of the case had been cut off. Shortly after the United States Su- preme Court decided the Durrant case the prisoner was taken before Judge the remittitur was sent to the Federal court from Washington, Another at- tempt was made to get the matter be- fore the Federal courts on the ground that there was no tangible evidence that the United States Supreme Court had decided adversely to the petition- er. Judges Morrow and De Haven, sit- ting in the Circuit Court, refused to grant the writ of habeas corpus prayed for, and Judge de Haven Instructed the clerk of the court not to file the papers on the appeal from the decis- ion just rendered. Attorney Board- man, in his address to the Supreme Court Justices who heard the petition yesterday, made the point that Judge A e e e e e e s der to the clerk as he did, and though and they should have been filed. The very fact of the documents being left under the circumstances constitutes an appeal. This being the case he ar- gued that no Biate Judge had jurisdic- tion over the matter, and that Judge Bahrs in passing sentence the last time exceeded his authority. The State was represented by As- sistant Attorney-General Carter, who made the point that the case is no and no issue or branch of it is before the Federal or United States courts. The matter was taken under advise- ment by the Justices, who will proba- bly give a decision to-day. MidnightSServices. There will be midnight service at St. Luke's Church on Van Ness avenue and Clay street New Year's ove, beginning at 11:15 and closing shortly after midnight.

All are invited. in, and discovered the work of an in- cendiary. The firebug had first saturated the curtains with kerosene and then set fire to them. The flames from the cur- tains communicated to some drapery overhead and for a time threatened to destrcy the building. After consider- able trouble the fire was extinguished. One of the men, while assisting in putting out the fire, was burned on the hands. As the firefighters broke in the room they saw a woman fleeing down stairs, and apparently anxious to avoid being seen. Convinced that she was the fire- bug, they shouted to the bartender to stop her. He succeeded in deine so. Her hands and dress smelled strongly of kerosene and in her right hand she carried her hat. After the flames were extinguished a call was sent in for the patrol-wagon. As it dashed up to the entrance to the building the woman broke away from her captor and disappeared down the road. On being questioned by the officers, Henry Doescher, proprietor of the place, said that the woman was the wife of his stepson. He declared that they could not get along together and they agreed to separate. Several days | ago his stepson commenced suit for di- vorce against his wife on the usual statutory grounds. He claimed that in order to be revenged on the family she set fire to the curtains, hoping to destroy the house. Subsequently he visited the Central station and told his story to Captain Bohen. He promised to swear out a warrant for the woman’s arrest to-day, charging her with arson. —————— M’ (e e e s e e e e e g TO-NIGHT!

Shortly after 7 o’clock last night the detectives saw the boys enter the junk shop on Fifth street. They quickly fol- lowed them and placed them under arrest. Over 100 pairs of shoes which had been stolen from the factory were found in the place. Subsequently the junk dealer visited police headquarters and positively identified the prisoners as the boys who sold him the shoes. Both the boys emphatically deny their guilt. On being locked up young Bahr, who was exceedingly well dressed, declared to the detectives that his arrest was only a job to have him sent to jail. It is said that Bahr senior will not prosecute his son or his companion. His object in having them arrested was to “teach them a lesson,” as he expressed it. A FIREMAN INJURED.
