The appropriation of | $15,000 by the Supervisors of San Fran- cisco will pay for the building that the | city will erect directly opposite the main entrance to the exposition grounds. Probably there will be raised by subscription not less than $5000 this week. The clearing-house system of getting the needed coin to put San| Francisco in the forefront of individual | California counties showing at St. Louis is working well. Letters are be- | ing sent out from the headquarters of | the executive committee for San Fran- | cisco in which banks and business firms | and capitalists are informed what the committee expects to receive. No esti-| mate made by the committee of the ex-| tent of financial support which indi-| vidual business houses or banks will be willing to give to the cause has been reversed. FIRST-CLASS EXHIBIT. While the money part of the San Francisco enterprise is receiving at- tention, Secretary Colburn says that San Francisco will make a first-class | exhibit on its own account. In addition to the great map of the bay of San Francisco and of all points upon its| shores, there will be a great array of moving and stationary pictures, pano- ramas, etc., that will illustrate San Francisco commercially and as a man- ufacturing city, and will also point out all its characteristic features to the ex- position crowds that visit the San Francisco building. The review of thousands of school children on n Ness avenue by Presi- dent Roosevelt will be one of the strik- ing views. A globe eight feet in diam- eter will show the geographical posi- tion of San Francisco as related to all s of travel. The moving he water front of this city a 500-foot film.

There will also be exhibited in large figures and letters the reports of the San Francisco tem- peratures as given by the United States Weather Bureau for the Christmas week. Moving pictures will also illustrate the industrial establishments of San Francisco, the flour mills, factories, etc The school life of the city and the work technical schools, like the Lick. gswell, Polytechnic High and Wil- merding schools, will be displayed.

Brilllant with the hangings and trap- pings of the Far East and freighted with the breath of lilies and lotus, the Borel ball at the Palace last night will linger long in the memory as a vision of Oriental splendor. From the center of the ivory ceiling, studded with yellow lights, hung a gigantic basket, freighted with branches of bamboo; above it a bamboo raft was suspended, holding aloft lanteras of deep yellow and an infinite number of Chinese flowers. These hung in long strands, their gaudy lengths waving over the gay throng as if bestowing benisons upon it. Palms, cool and se- ductive, rose here and there about the ballroom, and at the far end stood a temple gate—it might have been Con- fucius’ own—and from behind it the music makers sent forth merry melody. Mr. and Mrs. Borel, assisted by their two charming daughters, received their guests—to the number of nearly three | hundred—in the Conservatory room, { which had been transformed into a | beautiful garden. Supper was served in the Maple room at small tables—yellow as to color scheme—and In the Marble room at a large horseshoe shaped table brilliant with red blossoms. The following guests were present: Miss Frances Faxon Atherton e Suzanne Allen, Wallace Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Blapding, Miss Blair, Mr. and Mrs, Thomas Por- ter Bishop, Mr. and Mrs. E. D.

The Italian band, ship of Chevalier Emilio Rivela, gave last night at Lyric Hall the first of the four concerts announced before an enthusiastic audience, that warmiy applauded every piece. Practically the programme was doubled, as every piece was repeated in response to tre- mendous cheers and bravos. Since Creatore no other band or leader has made such a hit as Mr. Rivela and his organization. Rivela is a leader of great intelli- gence and magnetism, and possesses in a superlative way the power of reaching impressive climaxes in carry- ing with him both musicians and au- dience. The trombone solos of Wag- ner's “Evening Star,” the selection from “Ernani,”” theg)'Pilgrim’s Chorus” from “Lombardi,” the sextet from “Lucia” and the famous intermezzo from Mascagni's “Ratcliff”” were the pieces most applauded. The second concert will take place to-night at Lyric Hall, where an in- teresting selection will be rendered, in- cluding ‘““Trovatore,” ‘‘Mefistofele and Chopin’s “Funeral March.” —_——— Falls Down Elevator Shaft. Joseph Perevt, a waiter at the Poodle Dog restaurant, Mason and Eddy streets, fell down an elevator shaft yes. terday afternoon and received a pos ble fracture of the skull and serious internal injuries.

Mrs. Simpson, when inter- viewed, told the story of the burglary. Sergeant Campbell, however, says the disturbance was created by a man who is well connected and whose name is withheld from publication and that when Police Officer John Morgan brought him to the station he was released after he had promised to go home. The story that Miss Edith Simpson found a burglar in her room and held him until the arrival of the police is thus exploded. — a——— Miles Court Is Private Way.
