UNION LEAGUE (LUB FUNCTIONS Reunion of Excursionists Who Recently Paid a Visit to Republic of Mexico IP REMINISCENCES OF To-Night Survivors of Nor- mal School Class of Forty Years Ago Will Assemble B e et The first reunion dinner of the Union League Club party that left San Fran- cisco November 15 for a.visit to the re- public of Mexico took place in:the ladles’ grill of the league last evening. The function was delightfully reminiscent of a good time on,wheels. Sixty-one members of the excursion party. were at the feast. American and Mexican flags intertwined were features of. the’decoration . in ‘the banquet hall. S. J. Brun was the toast- niaster. He was reinforced -by - Colonel George H. Pippy, .president, and E.-M. Larrabee, manager of.the club, The ge- nius of George M. Holbrook, the silent reporter of the expedition, was expressed in the printed form of a menu. Many of the bright sayings, the commonplace comment and the originalities were re- | ferred to in the reporter’s own style. Here is the fashion in which the form of a menu is introduced: This is not the menu. We may mention that which will be served at the dinner, but it will be simply an incident, more or less trifiing. If, after the dinner, you are in a condition to remember that which you have had, why, that will be the menu. This dinner is dos pesos, Teal money—not Mex.

FAN To the Ladies of our C COFFEE, To our coffee colored friends, the peons. Something that each excursionist sald as the trip progressed was recorded by the silent reporter. In this style thanks were conveyed to the railroads: We _must be thankful to the Southern Pa- cific Railroad for really tender care and uni- versal courtesy, We must be thankful to the Mexican Central for rough roadbeds and fresh roadmasters, and especially thankful that we got around their loop, the loop curves and lived. We must be thankful to the Santa Fe system for not killing us and for handing us & little gold to repair our bruises. We must be thankful to Mr. Murdock for the sending of our party to Cuernavaca and then forgetting they were there and leaving them until an un- | earthly hour in the morning; also from the handling of our letters we believe he should be appointed Postmaster Geheral at Queretaro. Variety. is ‘the spice of Uife in the new home of the league. To-night in the la- dles’ grill there will be another function, reminiscent and historic. James A. Lout- tit, formerly member of Congress from the Second’ District, has invited the sur- | vivors of the Normal School olass that graduated in Ban Francisco forty years ago to a heart-to-heart talk at the round- table. The surviving graduates are Mrs. Mary Jane Parolini, Jennle E. Greer, Mary Millington and James A. Louttit. In the year preceding 1865 the State No mal School had several locations. For a while it was on the site of the present ‘White House. Later on it was in Dash- away Hall, on Post street. When the class of '65 graduated the institution was ir a frame building where now stands the Lincoin School. Master Louttit, then aged 17 years, boarded at the What Cheer House. His guests this evening will be the four graduates above named, together with Sarah B. Miller, Mrs. Kate L. Ar- nold, Nelson 8. Trowbridge, Hattle Wooll, Nettle D. Wood, Mrs. A. L. Mann, Jessie A. Louttit and Mrs. James A. Louttit. The letters of acceptance are remarkably Interesting.

Weir & Sanderson, attorneys at law, applied yesterday to Judge Graham for a fee of-$10,000 for their services as counsel for Dix W. Smith and other stockholders in the Sunset Mining Com- pany. As such counsel they secured a judgment - against George W.. Rumble for $208,000, which the court held Rum- ble illegally secured by falsely repre- senting the value of minés belonging to the company. Judge Graham sald that while the attorneys had done good work, he would have to adjust their fee to the extent of Rumble's assets in sight. At this time they are only $3000. The court informed the attorneys, how- ever, that if they discovered any more of Rumble’s property that can be se- cured for the stockholders he would al- low them a liberal fee. —_———— Open evenings until Christmas.

It is & war-worn fleld plece closely enveloped in sacking and with the barrel carefully wrapped with rope. +It was made in the United States ar- senal at Watervllet, and is now on its way to the arsenal at Benlcla. It was made by Uncle Sam for use by Uncle Sam’s soldiers and is now in Uncle Sam’s possession. According to the story told on the transport, however, the field plece was found in Port Arthur by the Japanese, who took that stronghold. It formed part of Russia’s Wattery. of defense and. pre- sumably was responsible for the death of many Japanese. . From the inscription engraved inside the barrel the Japanese discovered that the gun was the property of the United States, and the Japanese Government, 80 goes the yarn, turned the plece of artil- lery over to United States Minister Gris- com, who sent it to Nagasaki for ship- ment to the United States. All the transport records show is. that the gun comes from the depot quarter- master at Nagasakl and is going to the commanding officer at Benicia arsenal. Inside the barrel is the following leg- end: “watervliet Arsenal, 1898. 820 pounds. No. 209 J. ‘Wi J.” Civilians, who suppose that Uncle Sam manufactures artillery exclusively for his own use, are wondering how this particu- lar bit of fighting equipment ever got into the hands of the Russians and whether Japan’s action in returning' it is mot an Oriental joke.

OLYMPIANS PRESENT YULETIDE FESTIVAL Big Crowd Enthuses Over Prettily Staged Production in the Gymnasium. An elegantly staged yuletide festival, specially written for the occasion by Dr. J. Wilson Shiels, was presented by the dramatically inclined members of the Olympic Club in the gymnasium last night. Ior an amateur performance the plece was extraordinary, for every- thing went along without a single hitch and every member of the cast came in for his merited share of the applause. Yuletide songs, prepared by Dr. H. J. Stewart, were sung by a well organized chorus. * The verses for three of the musical numbers were written by Wil- llam Greer Harrison, president of the club. The plece was staged under the direction of Francis L. Mathieu, afd Dr. Stewart had charge of the music for the production. Solos ‘were- rendered.hy H. L. Red- field, L. A. Larsen, Frank Mitchell and Henry L, Perry, all of ‘whom were vig- orously encored. Nathan Landsberger, | the talented violinlst, brought down the house with his “Gypsy Melodies.” Dr. Shiels, H. McD. Spencer, R. M. Hotaling and E. Courtney Ford played the lead- ing roles in the plece. The festival will be rendercd once more this evening. —_———— INTERIOR OF CALIFORNIA GETS BUT TRACE OF RAIN Precipitation Is Greatest In San Fran- elsco and Storm Goes East by Northern Route. Yesterday’s rainfall was heaviest In San Francisco and its immediate neigh- borhood. The weather was cloudy over the northern section of California, but the -body of the.storm appeared last night to be tending toward Oregon and Idaho, on its way to the East. The coast counties -north of San Francisco were visited by light show- ers, but in the Interior little or no rain had fallen up to §-o'clock. Professor McAdie said he believed that the Sacra- mento River Valley might get some of the sorely needed moisture before day- light. In the south there was no in- dication of rain. The last preceding rainfall in San! Francisco was on November 29. The seasonal rainfall this year is about 114 inches, as against 9 inches at the same time last year. McAdle states that un- settled weather Is Ilkely .to be this city’s portion for several days. —_—————— NEW YORK, ‘Dec. 15.—The Cotton Bx- change membership of Charles was sold yesterday to Henry Schaeffer for $23,500, the record price for a seat on this exc 35 cents.
