SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. S.-Gov
ernor Budd has abdicated, Mayor Stein
man has resigned all for the time being,
the City Tiustees have gone out of busi
ness and every police uniform is hanging
up in its owner's home. Even the Legis
lature, if it should convene at any time be
fore next Wednesday, could not get recog
nition.
The Native Son, whoever he is, as an in
dividual owns the city. All local ordi
nances have been suspended by the three
days' ruler. State law don't count and it
is just as well for the Federal Government
that it has no ciairus to advance at present.
The State Capitol is merely the headquar
ters of so many visiting parlors. The
Mayor's office is the press headquarters
and it is stocked with malt and bourbon
beverages and other things on which news
paper writers are supposed to Jive. The
ex-Mayor called there this morning and
knocked at the door. He was told to call
again on Wednesday.
Everything is run by the visitors and
Sacramento was never better governed than
it is to-day. The constitution is "Hurrah
for the Native Son?," and ali the law is
"Be hospitable." There is as much free
dnm as could be found anywhere on eartn
ana not an instance of violation of the
hospitality has yet been recorded. It was
a pretty compliment to the guests that the
trustees hit upon when they ordered that
no policemen should appear in uniform,
and there is no need of uniforms or police.
The boys of California have gathered
again at the Cradle City of their State.
They are celebrating in as royal a style as
the people of Sacramento are receiving
them, but beneath all the enthusiasm is a
deep sincerity in honoring the memory of
the pioneers, and pride and patriotism
holds in check the tendencs- to celebration
tJ?Pt might be expected to go to an ex
treme. Art has been called upon to dec
orate the city into a gorgeous home of the
natives, and artistic features predominate
everywhere, but Slitter's Foit and Sutter's
mill at Coloma and other historic scenes
are depictured in preference to anything
else.
This day, Sunday, has been quiet for
such an occasion. Several thousand of the
visitors spent the afternoon at the restored
fort, where the modern California was
built, and almost in reverence they listened
to the sacred music rendered by Ronco
vieri's band. This evening there was a
repetition of the scene in the State House
grounds, where the pines of the far Rimi
layas grow by the side of the sturdy native
redwoods, and California could not have
asked for better homage from its sons.
There could be no better proof of the char
acter of a class of young men than their be
havior when a whole city is placed com
pletely under their control.
Every organization in the order was re
ceiving its friends to-day at some special,
commodious headquarters, and even'
gues^of the Native Sons was provided for
in the most generous manner. Of course
the hotels could never have accommodated
the visitors that almost double the popu
lation, but the citizens have thrown open
their homes, and only those who come late
in the night rind any difficulty in obtain
ing excellent accommodations. Last night
the people did not seem inclined to go to
bed at all they were so eager to receive the
new arrivals, and to-day there is no recog
nition of the presence of Sunday. Stores
are open and business is going on as
usual— rather livelier than usual, so as not
to cause any inconvenience. There is no
restriction of any kind to-day in the deco
rated Cradle City. The press headquar
ters at the Mayor's office has all day
been one of the liveliest and best places of
the city. Editor J. N. Larkin of the Sun
day Leader is in charge, and with him is
Dr. J. S. Curtis, who supplies all sorts of
historical information about Sacramento
County, the Native Sons and the State.
The "New Sacramento." as everybody and
every newspaper expresses it, is doing a
wonderful work of entertainment, but in
this it is the same old Sacramento.
There has been little to-day in the way
of celebration except the grand concert at
Sutters Fort by Roncovieri's band in the
afternoon, and the evening concert at the
Capitol grounds. Thousands of people vis
ited the historic old fortification in the
afternoon and strolled through every nook
and corner ot the place. The fort is now
marked according to the use to which the
various sections were put in the days of
old— the days before the gold. Going to
the right front, the main entrance, the
visitors went through the stores and apart
ments of C. C. Pichetts, miners' supplies;
Hensley, Redding & Co., miners' supplies;
Priest, "Lee & Co., miners' supplies; the
toolbouse, the distillery, the northwest
bastion, the wagon-repair shop. Carey's
boarding-house, the granary, the black
smith shop, the fort headquarters, the
body-guard rooms, General Sutler's apart
ments, the office of the fort, White's bil
liard-room, tne storehouse. Peter Slater's
saloon, the southeast bastion, the imi
giant's building, and the central building,
that is now used as a museum.
When the fort was dedicated— two years
ago last April— the museum was of exceed
ing interest to the Pioneers and the Native
irons. There were relics of General Sutter
and of Marshall, the gold discoverer, that
brought the beholder back to the pioneer
times almost in spirit as well as in his
torical record, but the relics were loaned
to the proprietors of the Forty-nine Mining
Camp at the Midwinter Fair. From Han
Francisco they were taken to Chicago, it is
supposed, without permission, and nobody

seems to know what has since become of ;
them. The relics were given in trust to J
the men in charge of the restored fort, and i
there were many inquiries about them this
afternoon. It is quite probable from the j
statements made that some of the influ- ;
ential members of the Order of the Native
Sons will cause an inquiry to be made with j
a view to prosecuting the men who failed
to return the relics.
At the door of General Sutter's room in
the fort Henry C. Martin of San Francisco,
the pride of the order, met Jack Scroggs
of Sacramento Parlor.
"How much do you weigh?" asked
Scroggs.
"I weigh more than you do," said Mar
tin.
"I'll bet you don't."
"I'll bet I do."
"How much do you weigh, Martin? 1 '
"Three hundred and forty. And you?"
"Only 333."
There was a jovial laugh from the two
solid men who will together weigh 800
pounds by the next celebration; and then
Senator Bert, the thinnest man in the
order, interjected: "Well, you're a pretty
pair."
"Where is your badge, Mr. Martin?"
asked a Sacramento young lady.
"My badge? I haven't any," said the
secretary.
"Well, you have lots of room for one,"
remarked the girl.
And so the famous treasurer continued
to supply the native sons and daughters
with amusement.
The evening scene was at the Capitol
grounds, where a sacred concert was given
from Bto 10:30 o'clock. It was estimated
that, from 5000 to 10,000 persons were
present, and it is doubtful whether the
park will be more popular even to-morrow
night, when the big building and all the
trees will be covered with the electric
lights. Aside from the concert, the even
ing was without incident, and the city is
getting ready for the great events of to
morrow.
The Native Daughters have already
taken a prominent Dart in the celebration
as an organization. They had charge of
the reception at Sutter's Fort, and several
important social events have been con
ducted by them.
California Parlor has presented to Sacra
mento Parlor of the Native Sons a banner,
the materials of which cost. $500. That
banner will be one of the features of to
morrow's parade. It is of silk and gold,
and is adorned by representations of Sut
ter's Fort, a grizzly bear and other familiar
emblems of the Natives. The banner was
presented by Mrs. C. N. Post of California
Parlor and accepted by E. J. Weidon, pres
ident of the Sacramento Parlor.
It is stated by the police to-night that a
lot of crooks have arrived, and several cases
of pocket-picking have been reported. A
purse containing $15 2.3 was stolen from
Miss Recting of San Francisco.
HOMES Or THE PARLORS.
Where Visiting Jirrtliren Are Assured of
Open Hoapifalitt/.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. B.— The
various headquarters of the Native Sons'
parlors throughout the city are a scene of
constant activity and excitement and their
decorations are beautiful beyond descrip
tion. But head and shoulders above the
rank and tile are the headquarters of Stan
ford Parlor No. 7(> of San Francisco, which
is located at Turner Hall. A step within
the rich portieres that guard the entrance
is a step into the mythical fairy land of.
nursery days; a realization of the early
dreams of childhood, when Queen Mab

held high carnival with all her attendent
spirits.
By the aid of having double curtains
draped over the numerous windows tne
rays of King Sol have been entirely ix
eluded while the heavy portieres that guard
the main entrance materially assist in re
pelling the advances of the lighted shafts
from the heavens.
As the visitor crosses the threshold a
blaze of electric lights greets him softened
by cardinal-colored shades that add addi
tional beauty to the interior. In the ex
treme end of the hall is a representative of
a sunburst from the clouds. This consists
of a draping in the form of half a golden
globe of mammoth dimensions rising
above a dark background, with golden
rays shooting upward and outward, and is
a solid flame of incandcscents consisting of
232 lights. In the center of the hall is a
; pyramid of vari-colored lights that gleam
I and sparkle, throwing delicate tints over
■ much of the vast apartment. There are
' long, trailing curtains of lace suspended
! within the double curtains that act as
I guards against the sunlight, and extensive
| and elaborately arranged draperies of red,
orange and green in delicate tints are sus
pended from all portions of the interior.
A reception committee is on hand at all
hours to receive and administer to the
wants of visiting brethren who may enter
their hospitable quarters, and especial at
tention has been accorded the representa
tives of the press, a private room having
been furnished and decorated for their
benefit.
The members of this parlor will appear
in the Admission day's parade as the
guests of Oakland Parlor, and will recipro

dered in honor of Oakland Parlor. Their
: distinctive costume will be dark navy blue
j coat and trousers, white vest and cap,
' polka-dot ties and a black parasol bearing
■ the word "Stanford" in golden letters.
The Oriental degree will be bestowed
upon the members by Oakland Parlor to
morrow morning, and a banquet will fol
low.
El Dorado Parlor is but little behind
Stanford in point of decoration, while
their hospitality fairly heads the list.
There is no hour of the night or day that
a Native Son can enter their apartments
and fail to find the best of refreshments
provided— good common-sense food, con-
sisting of sandwiches and hot coffee, with
attendant delicacies. This is distinctively
the haunt of that nocturnal intruder, the
owl, and his hoot can be heard at all sea
sons.
Mission Parlor of San Francisco, which
occupies a Senate chamber in the Capitol
building, has its apartments elaborately
decorated and is dispensing hospitality
with the free-handedness of the Natives'
forefathers. Nor are the Sacramento
County parlors, who claim the Assembly
chambers as their temporary domicile, be
hind any of the others in point of deco
ration and open-handed hospitality.
Oakland Parlor No. 50 has camped in the
Supreme Court chambers and the halls of
justice reechoes with the sounds of was
sail and revelry. The Placer County Par
lors have not fairly pot settled in the State
Printer's office, but Placer County's hospi
tality is too well known throughout the
State for an existing doubt that they
will gain a place of prominence as regards
generosity.
Rincon Parlor No. 72 of San Francisco is
located at Granger's Hall, and insures
every one a generous welcome. Pacific
Parlor No. 10 has apartments at Pythian
Castle, and its tables are spread as were
those of the olden-time lords of Merrie
England. Alcalde Parlor inhabits the
forest glades of Red Men's Hall, and the
wigwam is always bounteously supplied.
Golden Gate Parlor No. 28 is at Pythian
Castle, and its tables groan with bount}'.
California Parlors occupy Liberty Hall —
fitly named. All brethren are at home
when they enter this domicile.
Woodland Parlor No. 30 has camped in
the Foresters building and the greenwood
shades fully exemplify the days of Robin
Hood and Friar Tuck. Sequoia Parlor No.
160 has also chosen apartments in the
Foresters building, and although venison
and the other rich attributes of the table
that are supposed to frequent the groves
from which they derive their cognomen
are conspicuous by their absence, there is
an abnndance of those eatables and drink
ables that go to make merry the heart of
man.
San Francisco No. 49, although located
in the basement of the Pioneer building,
are close to the roof in point of hospitality
and are exemplifying the fact that though
the mantle of their early fathers may have
further to fall yet when it strikes it
resembles clearly the open-handed gener
osity of the early Argonants.
El Dorado Parlor No. 52 is at Smith's
Hall and is fully in line with its brethren.
Quartz Parlor No. 50, in company with Hy
draulic Parlor No. 56, inhabits Jacob Hall
and insists in bestowing its hospitality on
ail comers.
Stockton Parlor No. 7 has the Hale build
ing. Like the residents of the San Joaquin
city the members are ambitious and any
one partaking of their good cheer willing
ly returns.
The Amador parlors occupy Steinway
Hall. Vallejo Parlor T^o. 77 has Chickering
Hall and South San Francisco Parlor No.
157 has invaded with little sense of ven
eration the Supreme Couft Department,
where it is hail fellow well met. National
Parlor has located in the Dennery resi
dence at Seventh and M streets and holds
high jinks at all hours. Hesperian Parlor
No. 137 holds its clambakes in Atkinson
College and Olympus Parlor No. 180 has
carried the Mansion House by storm.
National Parlor No. 118 has turned the
Supervisors' rooms in the Hall of Records
into a place of revelry by day and night.
Bay City Parlor No. 104 has Superior Court
Department 2. Niantic Parlor No. 105 has
captured the beautiful rooms of the Bureau
of Highways and the weary tramp of tlie
order is accorded a hearty welcome. Pre
cita Parlor No. 187 is located in Foresters'
Hall, and Friar Tuck's famous venison
pastries are not a circumstance in com
parison with the hospitality extended to
all comers by these descendants of the
pioneers of early days.
B AJT IHEGO'S CELEBRATION.
The Festivities of Admission Day Already
Commenced.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. B.— The Native
Sons' celebration of Admission Day really
began here yesterday, when an excursion
of 1500 people arrived from Los Angeles
and interior points, followed by 2000 more
to-night. The city is covered n*ith decora
tions and lights, the center being a grand
triumphal arch at D and Fourth streets,
covered with electric lights.
Soon after dark the carnival began, and
the streets all night were filled with
masked merry-maker?. The light under
the great and the plaza, where the
City Guard cand gave an open-air concert
was brilliant in the extreme.
In the afternoon bicycle races at
Coronado attracted large crowds. The
races and winners were: One mile, novice,
Al Bayer, 2:5"X; half-mile open, class B,
Emil Ulbricht of Los Angeles, 1:14 4-5;
mile open, class A, W. B. Vaughn, San
Diego, 2:13; mile open, class B, Ulbricht,
2:35; half-mile open, class A, Vaughn,
1:08; mile tandem, class A.Edwards and
Hannahs, San Diego, 2:36; five-mile lap,
class A, Vaughn, 15:50 1-5.
Vaughn was the hero of the day, and
experienced men predict a great future for
him.
To-morrow there will be concerts, ex
cursions, etc., and a big celebration. At
tractions of various kinds have been pro
vided for the entertainment of visitors for
the entire week.

TWENTY FAMILIES DESTITUTE
Details of the Horror Which Cost
the Lives of Nearly Two-
Score Men.
HOUGHTON, Mich., Sept. 8.-It is now
positively known that thirty-five men are
entombed in the Osceola mine, and their
bodies cannot be recovered until the fire
is entirely extinguished, which may not
be for months. It is the opinion of some
of the oldest officials of the mine that the
fire was the work of an incendiary.
The saddest feature or the disaster is
that all of the doomed men might have
escaped had they heeded the warnings of
Captain Edwards, who was the first person
to detect the existence of fire. He dis
patched messengers to every slope where
miners were known to be working, but as
the mine is not heavily timbered except
in the shafts the idea of serious danger
was scouted. By going a round-about way
the last men who were in the lower level
of No. 4 shaft might have escaped, but
they preferred a shorter route of ascent,
and when they got up to the eighteenth
level found themselves cut off. Some
passed into latter drifts expecting to reach
other shafts.
Captain White descended with Anton
Secysik, who said he had left his father in
the level, but Secysik lost his head and
finding him unmanageable, White aban
doned him to his fate and reached the sur
face in safety. He was the only one of the
party in No. 4 shaft to escape. He reported
that trimmers had offerred to carry one of
the drill boys to the surface, but the boy
was so frightened that he refused to move
and was left to perish.
Additional names of missing men are:
A. Wmzia, Andrew Ross, Stephen Byth
bere, Joseph Slutta, Isaac Harvey.
Two Austrian trimmers, names un
known, are missing. Twenty of the thirty
five are married men and most of them
have large families.
The openine at the surface of the burn
ing shaft of the mine has been rendered
airtight by a covering of heavy timber
covered with securely packed dirt. The
next shaft north has been similarly cov
ered and the smoke from the burning
timber in No. 4 shaft and the drifts adjoin
ing is now rolling out in dense volumes
from No. 4 shaft, several hundred feet to
the south. Owing to the sealing of No. 3
shaft, it is impossible to judge whether the
fire is making headway or abating.
The only precedents from which the
probable direction of the fire can be
guessed are supplied by the three big fires
which have ravaged the Calumet and
Hecla mines.
