S R To the visiting Knight or ladye who seeks novelty the Grand Opera- house offews something that they can- not find anywhere else in America— a Chinese theater without an atmos- phere laden with punk fumes. For the nonce the stage that has been strutted by Caucasia’s greatest dra- matic and musical artists is in pos- scssion of a company of mummers from the Celestial quarter, and they hzve transformed it into an exact fac- simile of the stage they left behind them. The garish costumery, the tinseled props, the tympanum-rending + S strumental ' accompaniment—all in evidence. At the opening performance last evening the big theater was packed with the strangers within the city's gates. The interest they manifested in the curtain-raiser, a melodrama dealing with a brace of true lovirs, a heavy father, a group of tanditti and the inevitable wise judge, was intense. . The fighting, of which there was a great deal, won thun- crous plaudits, and even when the action ' dragged—which it frequently did—there was' a ranning patter of hazndclaps. When the curtain came— after the dough-faced heroine, a gen- tieman of wondrous dexterity with a spear, had killed all the objectionable personages—there was a recall that fairly shook the “house, and all the principal players bowed low in acknowleqgment of the unwonted tri- bute to their art. ‘When the curtain rose again, after an overture by union musicians, the women of the audience uttered a pro- lenged admiring “O-o0-h!” For there stood about two dozen little ‘maidens frcm the Chinese Public School, attired in the vari-colored garb of their race, and, under the invisible prompting of their teaCher, Miss A. C. Griffith, they sang pretty little songs in English. They came the boy pupils—more of them than there was stageroom for when they stood. in single file—and, marshaled by Professor George S. Mieliling, they performed calisthenics and played school games. all the boys and girls assembled and seng ‘‘America,” and the audience stood up while they sang it. Another -drama rounded. out the evening's entertainment and to the un- initated it was so very much like its predecessor in dialogue and action that only a favored few relished it as it probably, merited. + After that |entertaining visiting Knights and at | no time has the Masonic Temple been Several Thousand Pilgrims Come to Town. While thousands of the city’s visitors filled the sidew: esterday and over- flowed into the streets, commanderies“ from all parts of the country still| poured their numbers into San Fran-| cisco. All morning the trains were ar- | riving, parties of visiting Knights were | being taken in charge by the escorts, their baggage looked to and all their needs answered. Yesterday morning a special train on the Union Pacific pulled in with six Pullman cars filled with the Nebraska Grand Commandery, under charge of Assistant General Passenger Agent Garrett Ford. Among the officers of the commandery were Grand Command- er Willlam J. Turner, Deputy Grand, Commander Carroll D. Evans, Grand Captain General E. W. Beghtol, Grand Generalissimo Oscar A Past Grand Commanders F. E Charles B. Finch, G. W. Linneger and Hensy Gibbin. The headquarters of the commandery is at the Occidental Hotel. WORK OF ESCORTS. The escorts of Knights from the sev- eral local commanderies and the Grand Commandery of California have been the recipients of praise for their fine apgearance. Oakland Commandery No. 11, Which has been doing its share of the escort work, is proud of the com- mendation bestowed upon it as being one of the crack infantry escort compa- nies of the conclave. Its services be- gan Saturday and will end this morn- ing. The members forming this escort company leave their homes at 5:30 a. m., the company crosses the bay from Oaklafid to San Francisco on the first boat and remaids on duty until the| last commandery has been properly | taken care of. The Los Angeles Knights Templnri made the pilgrimage to San Francisco in a special train of ten Pullman sleep- ers, that left the Arcade depot Sunday. | The train was resesed for the Sir| Knights and their families, but so unanimous was the desire of the Los Angeles members to participate in the festivities incident to the Triennfal| Conclave that their special train could | not accommodate all who desired to| come. The members who could not ob- tain accommodations on the train have come on the regular trains, some of | them several days ago, and if a poll | were taken of the Los Angeles members in San Francisco it would reveal the presence of fully 80 per cent of the total membership in that city. A committee has been left at home to look after belated Eastern command- eries, of which there are a number due to pass through Los Angeles to-day. They will stay in Los Angeles only a few hours, however, and later most of the members of the committee will go north. Every train that left Los Angeles yesterday was run in two or three sec- tions and there were several special trains besides. Since last Wednesday the Los Angeles members have been closed. This cntertainment will be con- | tinued after the conclave, for it is ex- pected that several thousand Sir Knights who reached San Francisco by northern routes will visit Southern: California on their way home. Elaborate preparations have been made for the reception the Los Ange- |a reception jon the womanly system an. Delegations Hold Receptions at Palace. States Welcome Friends on Arrival. ——— The old members of all Minnesots commanderies presented a beautiful American flag to the Grand Com-~ mandery of Minnesota at its head- quarters yesterday at the Palace Ho- tel. In response to the cordial pre- sentation speech Grand Commander G. W. Buck made a pleasant speech of acceptance. Among others in the party are H. P. Sanborn, deputy grand commander, and Will Hayes Laird, grand captain general. M Charles N. MacKlouth of San Jose, a cousin of Captain Richmond Pear- son Hobson, was among those in the room. The Tennessee headquarters at the Palace was thronged with invited gues! who were cordially received by Grand Recorder John G. Garrett, The Tennesseeans have come to the conclave in large numbers, and the hotel corridors were thronged with wearers of the commandery’s badges. Among the party were Grand Cor mander A. M. Sloan, Grand Captain General H. R. Brown and Past Grand Commander John W. Bailey. At the main headquarters in the Bishop building the crowds of visitors thronged in and out all day lons. Many wore the badges of the various commanderies, some of the emblems being very attract A brisk trade sprang up between holders of dupli- cate badges, and in all the deals the commanderies’ badges were at a pre- mium. One of the novel features at head- quarters is a handsomely bound book. with cover of hand wrought silver, studded with silver nails, and a gold- en knight with a crimson cross as a background. This was made by Shreve. At the conclusion of the con- clave scenes and incidents of the week will be reproduced in the vol- ume and the complete work will be sent to England in the keeping of the English grand master, the FEarl of Euston, to be presented to King ward. The De Witt Clinton Commandery No. 1 arrived yesterday from Virginia Nev., and occupled quarters at California Hotel. It will hold open house at the hotel from to-day until Thursday and will cordially wel- come visito To-morro has been set aside as a special ladles’ day. e PSR Jinks at Press Club. On Thursday evening there will be and jinks given at the Press Club in honor of the visiting newspaper men. Special cards to t club for conclave week are being sued by C. H. Wilson of the Knight Templar press committee to all a credited journalists and to these th privileges of the club will be extend during their sta$ in the ecit £ club management has prepared splendid programme for the guests on Thursday night. 3esides an orches there will be plenty of vocal and strumental solos. There will be fea- tures in varie drawn from club a. theatrical talent. * les Commandery will give at the Palace Hotel this evening. For distribution at this reception a carload of souvenirs was sent ahead of the commandery. 1 is proposed the features of the week and the San Francisco members have promised to lend every assistance toward making it a success. Los Angeles Commandery No. 9 has headquarters at Hotel Clarendon. Rooms at the Grand are ocoupied by members of Drill Corps No. 1. Driil Corps No. 2 and the Knights who are not members of the corps have rooms both at the Clarendon and the Cum Drill Corps No. 1 will be com- to make the affair one of mings. manded by Brigadier General Robert Wankowski, commander of the First Brigade, N. G. C. In accordance with the rule that applies to all California members the two drill teams from Los Angeles will not compete for prizes, which will be open only to competition by visiting commanderies. The evolu- tions of the Los Angeles teams on the drill grounds will therefore be only ex- hibition drills. The ladies of the Eastern Star will have charge of the Los Angeles head- quarters at all hotels where Los Ange- les members are quartered and will keep open house throughout the comfe clave. DR. PIERCE’'S REMEDIES. -~ HOW TO WIN A Woman'’s sphere in this 2oth century is not limited eny more than is man’s. She can occupy almost any business position or profession, and yet the popular view of womanhood is that she best fits the posi- tion of wife and mother and head of the household. Every girl should know her heart and also know that her womanly system is equal to the strain of marriage. If a girl is nervous and irritable ten chances to one it is due to some troublé peculiar to womanhood. Cupid has mo place in a girl's heart if she is nervous and irritable, feels down, worn out for no reason that she can thiak of. The weak back, dizzy 1ls and black circles about the eyes are only symp- toms. Go to the source of the trouble and correct the irregularity. Stop the drains the other ldymplom_s will diu;;relr. This can be done easily qud intelligently. So sure of it is the World’s Dispensary Medical Asso- ciation, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Preseription, that they offer $500 reward for women who cannot be cured of leucorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of the womb. All they ask is a fair and reasogable trial of their means of cure. " Your ‘Favorite Prescription’ cured me of ulceration and inflammation, from which I suf- fered for many years,” writes Mrs. Delphia Wheaton, Presidesit Santa Parbara Lawn Ten- nis Club, Arlington Hotel, Sauta Barbara, Calif, “Heaith was completely broken down when I began its use and 1 was in dreadful pain most of the time, but ten bottles cured me.! “Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong, sick women well. Am B substitute for the medicine which wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women. HUSBAND.
