They were out earl | the sldewalks along the entire line of | ch. Market and Kearny streets, e pr paseed of th the | cially, were packed with humanity | iting impatiently in the drizzle for the | passing of the parade. | ven o'clock came and with it the signal to move. As the platoon of mounted police In front moved out and m major in a gorgeous b n his baton for the opening march, II's cannon boomed out from the | | tower of the Claus Spreckels building, notifying the walting thousands down town that the procession was headed | their way. And it really was a parade of which | any organization might be proud. It was ‘full of color and life and music. It was | | vibrant with variety and there seemed to | | be in it men and women and flags and fluttering banners without end. Not in a number of vears has any single order turned out in San Francisco any such number of representatives, and, apparent- 1y, in no order in the State is there more opportunity for brilliant street display. Ten divisions made up the parade, and each offered something different from the preceding one. Following the platoon of police and the band of the San Franclsco | Lodege of Odd Fellows rode Grand Marshal | M. M. Estee and his thirty red-sashed aids. Following came the khaki-uniformed | band of the First Regiment, California volunteers, and after them passed divis- lon after division of all that is beautiful in Odd Fellowship allowable to the un- initiate eye. Plaudits for this feature and that were plentiful all along the route, but no show- ing in the big procession made such a pleasurable impression as the ladies of | the Rebekah drill corps. As they marched | along in the grand marshal’s escort, look- ing good enough to eat in their natty u forms, the crowds on the sldewalks cheered and handclapped thelr approval. Handkerchiefs and hats and flags were waved at them, and on the counter-march | they were applauded again and again by | their brothers in Odd Fellowship march- | ing the other way. | The ladies of the drfll corps were not | many, but they were pretty nearly the | whole thing. Three corps marched on | foot, and representatives from all the Re- | bekah lodges, in cream-colored riding bits, rode as aids to the marshals of di- visions. The marching ladles represented Stockton, this city and San Jose, the | Stockton girls leading the way, in- the nat- tiest kind of uniforms of dark blue, with hussar jackets barred with white. They were under. the command of Captain Em- ma Lambert, and aside from their general appearance in the line, individually they were flattering types of feminine loveli- | ness, for which California is famous. Cer- | tainly in this regard at least Stockton has | made commendable progress In the State's | fifty years of Odd Fellowship. | The San Francisco Rebekah Drill Corps was no whit behind the feminine array from up the San Joaquin in appearance. Miss Allie Parker was in command. The uniform of black, corded with white, was The parade was sched- | ermore, Woodbridge, Woodland, San Le- to pass a given point and there was no foot of the way that something original burst on the eye of the delighted spec- ators. Plumes of purple and red and white tossed in the whistling breeze | graceful ferns were arched over carriages | | and other conveyances, floats were many | and artistic, banners were as many as marching men and the stars and stripes fluttered from every hand and streamed from every buttonhole. Every lodge in the city and from all the surrounding country was represented. There were Odd Feliows and Rebekahs from Marin and San Jose, and Rebekahs | A7ARICE and Odd Fellows from Sacramento, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, Niles, Liv- andro. There were whole cantonments of Patriarchs Militant and large bodles of the orphans—boy and girl—of Odd Fel- lows. How many thousand there were in | line is a mere guess, but 5000 would be a | conservative estimate. And the floats—well, no prettier ones | have been seen in any parade on the streets of San Francisco. There were two Rebekahs at the Well, and it would be a hard-hearted man that could choose off- hand between either. One of them in- antly fed water from a jug to a Jacob who rather appeared to like the job. Do you blame There was a very artistic float representing the compact between Jonathan and David and another of Oriental Lodge that was a dream of pretty girls. The line of march was from Odd Fel- lows’ Hall down Market street to Mont- gomery, to Bush, to Kearney, to Market, | to Van Ness avenue, to Ellis street, coun- termarching on Van Ness avenue to Mar- | ket street, to Seventh to pass in review. | And when the distance had been trav- ersed beneath the still threatening skies the universal verdict was that the parade had never been excelled, taking all feat- ures into consideration, in San Francisco. Can you blame California Odd Fellow- ship if it should pat itself on the back after such an achievement? PATRIARCHS AND REBEKAHS DRILL ‘Weather conditions that did not deter the Odd Fellows In the morning from giving ore of the finest parades ever scen in this city could not keep the crowds away last night from Mechanics’ Pa- vilion, where the great central -floor space had been cleared for the competi- tive and exhibition drill of the Patri- archs Militant and Rebekahs. Notwithstanding that the disagreeable drizzle augured poorly for a big audience, there seemed to be a general feeling in the air that only those that went early would find seats. This feeling was the correct one. Larkin street, in front of the big pavilion, was jammed with humanity at 7 o’clock, and half an hour later, the doors having been opened meanwhile, not a seat in the vast in- terfor—and seats had been provided around the four sides of the drill floor and in the galleries for 6000 people—was to be had. Still the crowds kept pouring in until there was a perfect jam in the | broad rear aisles, where, people being un- able to see the drill square, moved about nly in efforts to get a view. Scores of jcemen were kept busy Keeping the vast audience from crowding over into the space reserved for the drill teams. | The lighting and decoratjon of the vast interfor were superb and,“when the drill teams of the atriarchs Militant and | Rebekahs were marched out onto the floor shortly after 8 o'clock for inspec- tion, the scene was 80 magnificent that the great audience involuntarily burst into prolonged applause. To the band of the Sacramento Patriarchs Militant and its soldierly looking drum major was iven the honor of furnishing the music or the evenink. After inspection and review and the dfsmissal, the drill team of Canton Sacc ramento No. 1, eighteen men, Captain W. E. Bowman commanding, Lieutenant J. C. Ing Jr.,, and Ensign George Bock, marched onto the floor to go through the something worth going miles to see, sit- figures. It would take a book, and a big one at that, to enumerate all the features of the big parade.

And when they had concluded and presented themselves for inspection it was utterly imposible for the non-mili- tary audience to pick the winner. The Jjudges handed in their decision late in :lhe evening. It will be made public to- ay. After the competition the drill corps of San Francisco Canton No. 5, Captain C. H. Kohrnbeck commanding, Lieutenant Eugene Brackett and Ensign H. W. No- well, marched onto the floor and gave a loudly applauded exhibition drill. And then the Rebekahs. The big audi- ence had been waiting for them all the evening. The drill corps of Stockton, San Jose and San Erancisco were on the pro- gramme for prize exhibitions, and when the nine blue and gold clad members of San Jose Corps marched on at 0 o'clock, headed by Captain Florence Lewis and Lieutenant Florence Barthell, the applause was deafening. The corps was a small one, but it made up for lack of numbers in grace of mevement, and undoubtedly won a warm place in the hearts of the audience. The stunning-looking Stockton corps of Rebekahs, this time minus the diminutive full dress mascot, were received with a salvo of cheers. And they deserved it. It would be hard to find a more: jaunty- looking set of young womanhood. Even thelr sisters from this city, who followed them in the drill, had to look carefully to their laurels. They did the drill splen- didly, both of them, and added that zest that only lovely femininity can to an evening's entertalnment. The Stockton Rebekahs were officered as follows: Captain, Emma Lambert; lieutenant, Clara Breitenbacher, and en: sign, Eva Harvey, San Francisco’s of- flcers are: Captain, Allie Parker; lieuten- ant, Ella Campbell; ensign, Winnie Dowle. armdle ey RAINY DAY CROWD AT THE PAVILION After the parade crowds found their way to the Mechanics’ Pavllion, where they were made to feel at home by the several committees at the booths. These were crowded during the afternoon, and in the evening they were overcrowded by those who were unable to get an oppor- tunity to witness the competitive drills. District No. 55, the booth of which is in charge of ladies of Mission Rebekah has been arranged in a most artistic manner with all the furnishing of a modern parlor, and is one of the most attractive booths on the promenade. The ladies who were in charge yesterday were: Mrs. Timbrell, Mrs. Nesbit, Mrs. L. B. Holcomb, Mrs. Burkhardt, Mrs. Ashworth and Mrs. W. W. Barnes. To-night there will be the awarding of prizes won last night, and the grand ball until 1 o'clock in the morning—the final of the golden jubilee. The_information bureau, in charge of Mrs, J. Z. Gibbs of Amity Rebekah Lodge, was visited by an immense number of people, who were in quest of information, which was most cheerfully furnished. The lady also had charge of the books, in which many Oda Fellows registered. ' Up to 8 o’clock last night more than 1000 had inscribed their names on the books. ———— CONCERT IN LIEU OF THE PICNIC In view of the moisture of yesterday it became apparent that the grounds at ¥l Campo would rot be in condition to-day | for a pienic, so a meeting of the executive committee was held yesterday afternoon and it was decided to call the picnic off. In lieu thereof it was detided to have a concert this afternoon in Mechanics' Pa- vilion, ard in addition to have the games and races which had been arranged for the picnic grounds.

The police are investigating the mysteri- ous burglary which was committed ‘Wednesday morning in a lodging-house at 14 Turk street. Shortly after § o’clock Mrs. Anderson, the proprietress, after se- curely locking' her apartments, left the house to do some shopping. On her re- turn about an hour later she was astound- ed to find that some one had entered her apartments during her absence and got away with three hundred and fifty dol- lars in gold. The money was in a secret drawer in an old-fashioned rocking-chafr. The thief forced open the door of the apartments with a “jimmy,” which was found in the hallway. Mrs. Anderson at | once reported her loss to Chief Lees, who “talled Policemen Coleman and . Magea | on the case. After investigation they be- came convinced that the thief kgew where | the money was hidden and waited his op- portunity to steal it. | " Last night Mrs. Anderson visited police headquarters and personally pleaded with the head of the department to recover the money, which was all she had in the world. She strongly suspects one of her lodgers, but for lack of evidence against | him' the police hesitated taking him into | custody. —_—a—————— | Big Crowd at the Chutes.

WATER COMPANIES MAY NOT SHUT OFF SUPPLY MUST SELL TO ALL PATRONS WHO PAY. Decision by Judge Hawley of Interest to Farmers, Miners and House- holders Throughout the Country. United States District Judge Hawley of Nevada handed down an opinion yester- day in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals aflirming the right of an indi- vidual, upon his paying the rates, to be supplied perpetually with water by a corporation engaged in the business of selling water. The opinion is of great im- portance, not only to every householder, but to every farmer, miner and stock raiser in the country. The original suit was filed by James M. Sharp, a citizen of San Diego County, against the San Diego Land and Town Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Kansas. The corporation had become in- volved in litigation with a bondholder, and pending the proceedings had cut off Sharp’s water supply upon the plea that his land was upon higher ground than that of the remainder of the patrons of the corporation, and that he should pay a higher rate than others. Sharp claimed that under a contract between himself and the corporation, he was entitled to perpetual use of the water upon his pay- ing the legal rate. It was urged on the mfier hand that the contract was invalid and void, and that even if valid, it could be terminated by either party at any time. The United States Court for the Southern District of California gave a decision in favor of Sharp, whereupon the Land and Town Company appealed. After quoting numerous authorities to show the weight and effect of contracts of the character, Judge Hawley said: It is enough to say that the Supreme Court of California, in construing the same, has uniformly held that the various provisions with reference to water and water rights for distribution and sale must be read to- gether and glven a practical common-sense Construction and be construed with refer- ence to the prior state of the law and the mischiefs intended to be remedied by the change in the organic law in relation /thereto; that the use of all Water appro- priated for sale, rental or distribution is Dy the constitution expressly declared to be a public use and subject to the regulation and control of the State, subject to certain Provisions in resvect to'the rates or com- Densation to be collected (which has no Spplication to water furnished by munici- Palities); that the constitution expressly de- lares that such rates or compensation shaii be fixed in a certain specified manner at a certain time and by a certain body; thal the right to collect the rates or compen- ation so established 15 declared to be a franehise and cannot be exercised except by authority and in the manner prescribed statute. = *. %> By e et 0f ‘the appellee to the continued use of the water does not, therefore, de- Dend upon any of the covehants expressed n the written contract, and it is wholly immaterial whether that contract was void or'valld. * * * The contract has ex- ired, and all its covenants expired with it, {t7% manitest that the appellee had acquired ons of the courts of the State of California.
