12 AMUSEMENT LOVING PEOPLE. How Mnch the People of San Francisco Enjoy Dancing. A Brief Mention of Seme of the Host Promi nent Social Cub?, Among Which the Names of Nearly 100 Are Given. gbjtf*' m Jill?)' ITE city of San Francisco might as well be termed "8 city of clubs," for in do part of the Union may a city be named that can boast cf as many associations of this kind— that is, as semblies of persons who meet under certain self-imposed regulations or by law*, solely 'on pleasure bent. When ' I say nowhere else, I mean a city having an equal population. The reason of this constant pleasure-seek inK is derived from many causes. Our climate, perhaps, has the most to do with it, where eight or ten months of the year there is great attraction out of doors, and where the getting from- one place to an other is rendered so easy by the splen did street-ear system, which is, Indeed, a consideration with a large class of amuse ment-loving people. Then, again, our city is so completely cosmopolitan that perhaps the foreigners, especially the French, Ger man and Italian elements, have bad much to do with spreading the influence for pleasurable pursuits. Again, this is an era of moneyed love and moneyed strife, and the demands upon the brain power of our money-makers, and the close application of assistants and clerks, is rendered less in jurious to the constitution ami spirits by the respite which is afforded and found In the many social affairs in question. Were it not for these pleasures of life, it is hard to say what would become of the nervous, mercurial and exacting portion of our com munity. These social chilis are found in all classes and conditions of life, from the highest to the lowest grades, so that a brief reference to them cannot but prove interesting to those who dance and flirt and drink the hours away. The most Important of these, not in numbers, Dut as regards social stand ing, is the Bachelors' Cotillon* which is con ducted by the leading young men of society, who, in giving their receptions, pay off in a measure their social obligations to the in numerable charming hostesses we have. The Assemblies is even more exclusive and more lavish in its entertainments. An other swell club is that known as the Ger man, nud is conducted by the prominent Southern element of society. Another Boutnern society is the Reliance Club, on a standing with those mentioned, as is also the Mandolin Club, composed of our most brilliant musical amateurs, nearly all of them young people. The Olympic Club is one of the oldest and most popular associ ations of the city. Its frequent entertain ments are well known. Among its repre sentatives are members of prominent fami lies here. The Cercle Francais is the leading French society, as the Terein is the leading German society. The rooms of the former association are at 419 Post street, where their doors are frequently thrown open lor the entertainment of the friends of the club, The rooms of the Verein on the corner of Slitter street and Grant avenue are often the scenes of elegant receptions. .The Lawn-tennis Club is another so ciety organization and a splendid addition io the so jal world.

It has over 600 members, with rooms at 32 O'Farrell street. Its object is to preserve athletic games and encourage lectures, literature, music, dancing, lan guages, poetry and song. The St. Andrew's is also a popular Scottish association, as Is the Caledonian Club, which was organized in 186 C and embraces about 650 members. Its object is the encouragement and prac tice of the games and preservation of the costume and manners of Scotland, and a promotion of a taste for her literature, music, etc. The entertainments of this club ■re held in the club-rooms, ill Larkin street. The Loring Club Is one of the musical as sociations well known with us. An enter tainment given by Ibis club is always a feature of the season. It lias sixty active members and 200 associated members, in cluding many of our best-known people. The Handel and Haydn Society, organ- . ized in 1866. is well known in musical eir ■ cies. as la also the Schultze Jr. Zither Club, which meets every Friday evening at its "rooms at 218 Leaveuworth street. Among other musical clubs is the Chopin Club, which is a branch of the New York club of the same name. There is also an other society affair called the .Musi.: Club, besides several glee clubs and musical gatherings at private residences. The Beulah Ciub is another popular asso ciation of many members, nearly all of whom are residents of that portion of the city called the Mission, where its enter tainments are held. The Western Addition Literary and So cial Club has been in existence a number of years and is principally identified with the . locality known as the Western Addition. Its membership numbers several hundred, including several prominent families. It gives an entertainment and dance once a." month for whicu tickets are eagerly sought. The club has grown to such an extent that the large hall in Saratoga Bnilding will scarcely accommodate it. The • Vermont Association, originally composed of native sons of the Green Mountain State, is on a par with the last named society, both in size as well as socially. It also meets once a. month, anil having grown out of its old quartets, now bag its present gatherings at Odd Fellows' Hall, on which occasions there is scarcely room for all who wish to attend. It should be mentioned in connection with this' sud ject that their affairs are in no way money making, but are purely social, with only tax enough upon the members to keep the club up. There 'are numerous yachting clubs, among which may be mentioned the Pacific Yacht Club, which numbers about 250 members, who- meet quarterly— the first Wednesday in March, June, September and December— at the I'ulace Hotel. There is also the Corinthian Yacht Club, estab lished in 18»U. It numbers nearly 100 . members, who meet at the call of the Commodore; headquarters, Tiburon. The Shu Francisco Yacht Club was organized . hi 1800. It has 100 members. The Directors 1 meet quarterly. The .Neptune Swimruiup and Boating Club is another source of amusement. It was uignnized in 1877, and has thirty-live or forty members. The club's colors are blue and white. With other athletic associations, the .Bicycle CiuU, with lUtjr-two active whoel nipn, was organized in IS7S. Its rooms aro at 110 McAllister street. The Harvanl Club of San Francisco is composed ol Hie Pacific Coast alumni of Harvard University and numbers about 110 members. Its meetings are generally held at some hotel. The Press Club of ■San l'roncisco is social and fraternal. The Chii-Chat Club is composed of some of our most leading lawyers and liter ary gentlemen, who meet socially several times during a year at some one of the principal hotels. Among the many other clubs with which our city abouuds may be, mentioned the Arion Verein. Dentsehor Verein, Deutsebea Krie^er Yeieiu, Eureka Turn Verein, Mission Turn Verein, San Francisco Grutli Verein, Danish So i-iety iXirden). This latter named club is for the purpose of encouraging dramatic entertainments as well as social. The Ger mania Club, Veterans of the Mexican War, California Schutzen Club, Independent OM Friends, Odd Fellows' Literary and Social Club, San Francisco Maenner chor. Turn Verein VorwartS, Society of Old Friends, Sous of Veterans, Howard Club, Then there are the Highland Pipes, Lotus, Elite, Camera, Acme, Ixion, L"niiy, Twilight, Tory. O>\ls, Bashful Boys. Cen tury and Calliopeau clubs, besides many others of the same stamp. There are also many dancing parties mul literary entertainments given by churches, dramatic, fraternal, political, charitable, military, temperance and the trade associa tions, as well as by debating chilis. Among the annual. balls which bring to gether many hundreds there is the artists' ball, Ptirim balls, etc. Another annual gathering is the George T. Trimble Association of the Pacific Coast, which was organized In 1875 with fifty mem bers composed exclusively of members of the New York pnbllc scchool No. 7, be tween the years of 28 and 4(i- They have an annual meeting and banquet in the month ni April, the date being set in conformity with ilie same celebration in New York. Then there are the annual parties given by the various dancing-school teachers, music teachers, the receptions at the fashionable seminaries and the hops at the many board ing-houses, the-more stately affairs at the hotels, and the elegaut entertainments at the military stations— the l'residio, lihick Point, Mare Islaud and the Navy-yard, \\ ben one takes in consideration the many attractions and inducements that are offered for dancers it is not strange if we aie considered an amusement-loving com munity. A?iut' from the above-mentioned clubs and societies which are thus made at tractive, there are the hunie parties— the large ainl elegant dancing receptions given by those in palatial residences, as well as those in tuore iiiotlest establishments. In fiict the more thought one gives to the sub the mure is one puzzled to know where an?, caterers, florists, etc., can be found to all the demands, or how one has time to think of much else than keeping his social engagements. .

EASTER SUNDAY CUSTOMS. How the Day Is Observed in Some Countries of the Old World. Ia Some Chnrches Flowers Decorate the Altar, in Chhers Noi— The Colorinp of Eggs. Presentations to Children. N common with many other Christian observ ances the festival of Easter was derived from the worship of a pagan deity. The cod. dess to whom sacrifices were offered at this period of the year was Estera or Ostera, the jGoddess of Spring. By a strange and inexpli cable association of ideas the mime be came connected with the Christian celebra- tlnn of Easter, which takes place at the same time as the Jewish passover. It was not known In England until after the Saxon invasion. It was called "Dom inica Oandli," or Sunday of Joy. It falls about the time of the vernal equi nox, and is regulated by what is termed by astronomers the "mean moon," an im aginary orb which follows ttie real moon by two or three days. Constantino the Great was the fust to institute this feast in com mentoraUon of the resurrection of our Savior. In many parts of Europe some be- $&Ai fit % A / ' ' II''! : WwMt'fl \ lieve that Christ will actually rise from the tomb Ht midnight At the mystic hour of 12 in tho Greek, Roman Catholic and ritual istic Episcopal churches tho bells ring forth n triumphant peal, the choir chants the joyful anthem, "Christas Resargus." The flowers with which the churches are decked are emblematic of the resurrection, having arisen from the bosom of the earth, where they were entombed all diiriu« the winter. No flowers are used in the Greek Church, these bcin>: reserved for the day of Pentecost. The holy day is commemorated In various way^ in different countries. In England it is a church festival, nnd in mo<t parts of the civilized world nearly every person puts on a new hat or bonnet, or it nothiui; else a pair of new gloves. Bad luck is supposed to follow the one who neg lects this pleasant duty. In Austrian Tyrol bnmls of wandering minstrels travel around the country carol ing the beautiful Easter hjmns tv the accompaniment of a guitar. They are given wine at each house and continue their journty. Joyout Easter Morn, The Poles have always been noted for tlieir strict observance of the solemn fes tivities of the church. The Easter feasts in the castles of the nobility nre on a BCale of princely magnificence. Even the food on the table is emblematic. In Russia Eas ter is not only the most prominent event in the Church, but partakes of tin- nature of a national celebration. The [Saturday pre ceding is called "Willow Eve." The wil low is blessed by the priests instead of tho palm, which signifies Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Everyone takes a batii (a most excellent custom), which must be done be fore entering the church. Houses are cleaned from tt plo bottom. Thn day is ob served as out New Fear, the ladies remain- Ing at home and receiving their gentleman friends. On that day the gentlemen claim the privilege to kiss any lady of their ac quaintance. The origin of the Easter pgK is somewhat shrouded in mystery, but ancient wrireis tell us that In the fourth century epg3 were a prohibited article of diet during Lent. They consequently accumulated in great v )$$% I'm Easter Greeting Card, number, as the practical hens insisted on doiug their duty. The et;gs were colored scarlet, like the cloak of a cardinal, mid pre sented to the children as a gift from Home. Eggs are the emblem of fecundity and abun dance, and ore (supposed to be typical of the pood wishes of the civer, who invokes all the blessings contained, within its shell which represents mundane prosperity. The eL'j; represents the beginning of nil things. The old Romans always ate one nt the com mencement of a repast. jjs^pjjSHH The Persians .bestowed • eggs on ; each other at New Yeai's : Russians : and most civilized nations at Easter. - In Germany and France immense quantities of eggs made of sugar and plaster of Paris are an nually : fabricated : and shipped ■. over the world. They are as Ijernngcr says: "Full of good and misery." German children be lieve the hare has a share in laying Easter eggs. When a little one sees a hare *cam periug across a field, lie calls out: '"Hare, good% ittlo hare, lay plenty of eggs for Easter." Id France the larupst epes were tnken from the nests and offered as tribute to the King. In that country the cure makes the rounds of the houses of his parishoners which he blesses and receives in return a present of a basket of eggs. The angels are supposed to descend from their abode on high, bearing baskets of eggs for all eood children. In Paris it is the universal fashion to offer eggs, in one shape or an other, to even the commonest acquaint ances. Sometimes a beautifully decorated bonbonniern, egg-shaped, filled with lus cious sweets. Frequently the semblance of an egg contains gloves. Handkerchiefs aud even jewelry. A very acceptable egg, rival ing in value the gup. laid by the goose in the fable, was made of pure white enamel, the interior engraved with the gospel of the day. By some intricate hidden mechan ism this egg plays twelve arias from latest operas (cost, 20,000 francs— S4ooo) and was presented to a Spanish Infanta. The pretty fashion of presenting bonbons or a dainty souvenir in shape of a card or bonk, or tiny basket of colored eggs, is steadily growing in favor in this country. First get your eggs. It is perhaps need less to say they must be fresh. Put the eggs on the stove in a vessel large enough to held the quantity you wish to prepare and sufficient water to cover completely. If put on in water hot enough to boar the hand in and gradually heated up to boiling point, there will be no craeted eggs. Now for the colors. Dyes for Easter eggs, con tai .ing four distinct colors, can be pro cured at any druggist's. Dyes must be kept hot, and tin' eggs must be dyed immediately they :iru taken from the hot water, other wise the dyes will "come fill" on the lingi'rs, or bo streaked, or anything but a success If a little lard is rubbed over the eggs after dyeing they will be much im proved. Transfer pictures or tiny gilt or silver paper star-;, crescents or bands can be applied, or "baby ribbon" tied with little bows around the eeg, selecting contrasting colors. Ribbon kept in place by speck of niucilnge. A dainty Easter gift is made as follows: A small fancy basket of any de sirable shape, holding three or five eggs, is procured, place iv the bottom some cotton batting—while is prettiest — lay the colored eecoratixg the altar. p,:ks on this (this Is not a pun), each of a different color; if you are handy with the brush paint a cluster of field daisies and grasses on a light-colored egg. Fasten a pretty bow of ribbon on the handle of the basket, also Easter card with usual com pliments. 'I'll'! artistic merit of many of these cards is almost beyond praise, and American manufacturers boar off the palm in those dainty bits of art stationery. !■>. 1 II BRAMBLE. COAST ITEMS.

A piece of wild land of eighty-three acres was cleared of brush and made ready for planting to oranges in twenty days by a Pomona rustler. A line block of granite was placed in po sition recently over the entrance to a bank in Spokane Falls, Washington. It weighed dressed 'JOOO pounds. A man named Barnes indulged in a fight at WalluJa, Wash., and lost his left eye. He was placed in a hospital at Walla Walla and it Is now probable that his right eye will bo blind. A trust deed was filed at Los Ang.'les lasl Saturday i>y the lighting company of that city to the California S.ife Deposit aud Trust Company of San Frauciscu for a con sideration of $1,250,000.

The steamers Olympian and City oJ Kingston had a race ou Tuesday from Ta coma to Seattle. It was for blood and to settle which boat was the fastest on the sound.

There is a movement on foot in Wasco County, Oregon, says tho Times-Mountain eer, for the ereciiou of steam vau for the stripping of wool from pelts. jj y this process each individual owner can save from 50 to 75 cents ou each pelt, and this will he a great increase from tho price paid at points ou the railroad. This new process is uuder the management of some lustra* liana, who have tested it in their own coun try. The Alaska Froe Press of March 15th reports the liudiim by Indians of the bodies v, Vl !!

The Hew Member Daisd by th« Legislative Kaleidoscope— Amusing Scenes on the Floor. J^RIASIIINGTOX, March 30. 1890. --(l/l/lk r ' sltors wll ° watch the proceed >M;i*?i >»gs of the New York Stock Ex change from the galleries vainly try to catch an inkling of what is going on. They see brokers rushiug to and fro. shouting all at once, and shaking their forefingers at each other. Groups rusli hither and thither like boys over a school-yard and the racket is terrific. Visitors to the galleries of the House of Representatives frequently witr ness similar 6cenes. Vainly do they stretch their Decks to try to ascertain what is up. At times a score of members are on their feet, all seeking the eye of the Speaker. Some are asking unanimous con beat to consider bills; others are making parliamentary inquiries, and some are shouting for the resular order. Legis lative work is kaleidoscopic. The House will be shifted Into Committee of the Whole in a twinkling. The lead ing advocate and the opponent of the bill in the committee to which it was re tcrrcil after its introduction control the time allotted for debate. One member will give time to another, and others will vainly seek time. Occasionally a member will snatch live minutes by moving tv knock out the last word of a section. The confusion at times is bewildering. Messages from the Senate and from the White House arrive, and the changes in the situation are many and frequent. The hall buzzes like a bee-hive. Continual streams of Representatives pour through the entrances in an>wer to requests lioin constituents and others. It will be abso lutely impossible for the occasional visitor to ascertain what is going ou by listening to the proceedings. Measures of the utmost The new member mystijlot. Importance may be passed even under thoir eyea without their knowledge. In the last Congress .Martin A. Foran io|iorted n pension bill appropriating over S'.io,- COO.poo. The House went into Committee if the Whole mi the State of the Uuinii for its consideration, reported it back favor ably and the bill was passed. The whole thins was done inside of three minutes. On the other hand a resolution appointing an extra flerk may entail a tliren hours' de bate. The casual vititor is ever at sea, He can never tell one rope from another In legislative navigation, and the noise of the Speaking tiuinputs though great is ttniu tellifcible. The now members have full as much trouble as the visitors. It takes them a long time to yet the bang of things. They hardly get an idea of what is up before the scene shifts and something new appears. The consideration of a bill will be cut off at a second's notice by some special order eiyinj; some other measure preference. Privileged committees will step in and secure preference in legislation. Sen ate bills will rise from the Speaker's desk unexpectedly and confront the House. Tnere is always a pile of unfinished busi npss to distract attention, and any quantity i,t executive documents, which are thrown Into the interstices bj the Speaker. The thread of legislation is quickly lost. An old member frequently lust's it while answering the simplest questions. Months pass before the new member be gins to feel tho least at home in legislative matter*, lie may ascertain what is before the House, but ho will find it dillioult to learn why it is before the House. There is always more or less confusion in the cham ber. His mind becomes distracted in its effort to keep track of what Is before him. It requires tho closest atttMition to become iv any wise familiar with the routine. The old members watch the calendars and the special orders. They remember what days of the month and of the week are givot; for the consideration of private bills and legislation affecting the lMstriet of Columbia. Suspension day is never forgotten. They know what commit tees have the call iv tho morning hour and A call uf the Jloust. can tell Almost by intuition what bills will be called up the Chairman of those commit tees. The new member never has time to think ahead. If lie can only get an idea of what is being done in the present, ho will bo sat isfied. The past is a labyrinth which he cannot retrace and the future is beyond his ken. If he is ever to become a good par liamentarian under the rules ho must pay strict attention to business. He will have time neither to read newspapers nor to write letters while the House is in ses sion. Ho must keep his eyes away from the ladies' gallery, and resolutely refuse to leeeive cards unless there is a measure before the House entailing a long debate. Watch-dog Dolman, lien ton Me- Mlllin, James H. Blount, William McAdoo, John Henry Rogers and other experienced legislators are ever in their seats listening to what Is occurring. If the confusion is so great that they can nut hear, they will rise and demand order. Men like Hitt of Illinois, Butterworth of Ohio, Lodge of Massachusetts, Henderson of lowa, Crisp of Georgia, Culberson of Tt-xas and Tiliman of South Carolina may wander through the halls and parade back; of the curtains, but every one of them will know exactly what is going on, and when it is necessary to pay attention to it. Others like Flower and Motlit of New YorK.Cowles of North Carolina, O'Neill of Pennsylva nia, Shively of Indiana, and lireckin ridge of Kentucky, may remain in their seats writing letters and reading news papers, but you may be sure that their ears iir.) open. Let something out of the way oc cur. Quick as a flash the words, "I object," or "Regular eider," will fly from their lips. The man who tries to slip a job through on the sly is almost invariably detected and disappointed. No wonder that the new member at times becomes , wearied and retires to the cloak room to enjoy a new story and a good cigar. He tries to gauge his leisure time by what Is before the House. If he leaves the House and joins a convivial party in the restaurant, he is very apt to hear the for Infants and Children, i "Caatoiiaia bo well adapted to children that I Castor!* enrea Colic, Constipation, I recommend it as superior to any prescription I Sour Stomach, I>ii«rhr*a, Eructation .__ ■. known to me." -; HA.

Jjls Sy SuAWy words, "Call of the House," or "Yeas and nays," shouted by pages sent out into the corridors. When hfl re turns he will find himself out ou the ocean. He may be voting upon seconding a de mand for the previous question, upon an amendment or upon a substitute for a bill, or upon ordering it to a thrrd reading. His party vote in one case is a aye and in the other a no. He is forced to de pend upon his friends for a cue, ru<l lie is mighty apt to get a wrong one. The old members, when in doubt in such cases, usually vote with the majority of the com mittee who have reported the bill. If there is no political question at issue, the bill is apt to be put throuuh the House by the pride of committee. Many a bill has been passed under this influence. At times there are rich scenes upon the floor. Experienced men handle the legis lative foils and the parry and thrust are exquisite. Fire flashes from the steel and once in a while somebody gets hurt. Sharp I ersonalities are exchanged and there is much badinage. The cloak-rooms are emp tied. All rush to see the light. Everybody is on the gui vive. The aisles are crowded and groups of interested men gather round the speakers. After the fight is over the cloak-rooms are again filled. Reminiscences of similar contests are told and many a good story is heard. After the sharp bout between Joe Cannon and Seth Milliken while the public building bills %vere under consideration, the other day. Beanopio-Canal Murphy of lowa de scribed an interesting scene | that occurred it; V j fiflW "BunteC Ccx hurls the JHble. years ago. It was after the report of the famous Electoral Commission. Senator Cox had the floor. He was limited to thirty minutes. His time expired as ho was about to clinch his argument with a quotation from the Scriptures. Down came the Speak er's gavel. Cox raised the holy book on high and asked unanimous consent to read the verse. "I object," and "regular order," came from a dozen Republican throats. Again Mr. Cox appealed to the House. The din was deafening. Fifty Republican mem bers protested. For an Instant Cox stood like a statue. Then he hurled the Uible into the publican arena and shouted: "If you wont take the Word of God direct then take it aliunde!" Henry Cabot Lodge recently related an amusing sceiie in the United .states Senate. Some proposition was under discussion that was extremely distasteful to old Z:ich Chandler. The great Jlichigander waxed eloquent .He said that the passage, of the bill would be a disgrace to the Government. It would humiliate every conscientious cit izen. As for himself, if It became a law he should feel like going to the Southwest and living forever among tho Comanches. This brought Senator Wingfall to his feet. With stately dignity the Texan re sponded: "I really hope. Mr. President, that this proposition will not i ass the Sen ate. The Comanches are among my constitu ents, and they are already sufficiently con tauilnated with the civilization of the white man." These two incidents are unique samples of occasional scenes In the House. New members and old ones are always on hand at such times. All enjoy them, and none more than the visitors in the galleries. The new member gets the cream of the thins afterward in the cloak-rooms and is the more highly editied. AMOS J. CIHMIXOS. TECHNICAL SOCIKTY. linslnes* Trf>im&ct«<i at the Meeting; of til* Local Organization. - A meeting of the Technical Society of the Pacific Coast was held on Friday evening at their rooms, 4<.<B California street, John Richards presiding.

This was the third trial of Ho Wall Chins for the murder of Font; Hoy, who was ihupped to death with hatchets at the corner of Jackson aud Dupunt streets two years ago. A LOST BILL OF SALE.
