the table stood a superb arrangement of
flowers representing the scales of justice,
suspended from swords made of carnations
and ivy leaves. Ovals of ferns and ' roses
and vases of flowers were scattered about
the long board, which was shaped like the
letter T in order to accommodate the fifty
guests. The President escorted Mrs. Fuller
and the Chief Justice took Mrs. Harrison
in to dinner. Besides the Supreme Court
and Judiciary were present Senator and
Mrs. Hoar, Senator and Mis. Pugh, Sen
ator and Mrs. Blackburn, Senator and Mrs.
Ingalls, Senator and Mrs. Vance, Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Ban
croft Davis, Representative and Mrs. R. P.
Flower and Mr. and Mrs. Estee.
HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Stoneman to Be Retired With Rink of Colonel.
Life-Savin? Service.
Washington', April B.— The House Com
mittee on Commerce has resolved to report
adversely upon Representative Buchanan's
resolution providing for an investig ation of
the Life-saving Service.
• The House Committee on Military Affairs
to-day ordered a favorable report upon the
bill to retire Ceneral Stonoman of Cali
fornia with the rank of Colouel of In
fantry. ' -
The House Committee on Judiciary to
day completed its consideration of the
I'orrey bankruptcy bill, which was intro
duced by Representative E. B. Taylor of
Ohio, and ordered it to be reported favor
ably. A number of amendments have been
made, but these are simply corrections and
changes of phraseology and do not affect
the principles of the bill. Mr. Culberson of
Texas will submit a minority report and
urge the substitution of his own bill, which
is a short measure, providing for the dis
charge, within six mouths after bank
ruptcy, of any bankrupt who has in good
faith assigned to a trustee all of his prop
erty uot exempt under the local law.
AltAi KEFOItM.
Secretary Proctor to Keep a Record of Each
Officer's Attainments.
Washington, April B.— Secretary Proc
tor has takeu a novel step in the way of
aimy reform that will probably cause a
great deal of comment among officers and
no little criticism and grumbling. It is
based on the custom of the German army
chiefs of keeping a constant record of the
special attainments and qualifications of
each officer and is designed to till a want
that has of late years been seriously felt In
our own army whenever it has been fouud
necessary to send an officer on some special
service for which peculiar qualifications are
required. In all such instances it has been
found that there was in tho War Depart
ment no information regarding tbe accom
plishments of officers and all that came to
the cars of the Secretary was iv a large
measure incidental, accidental or personal.
Secretary Proctor has. therefore, devised a
plan of obtaining constant aud official in
formation iv regard to officers of the army
such as shall aid him in the preparation of
records that will show him just what man
ner of uieu they are.
m
NOT GUILTY.
Th* Findings in the Case of Commander Cogh
lan Approved.
Washington, April B.— The Secretary of
the Navy has approved the findings of not
guilty in the case of Commander Jcseph B.
Coghlan, recently tried by a martial
at Sau Francisco on charges of conduct un
becoming an officer and a gentleman, and of
conduct such as to prejudice good order and
discipline. The charge was that he wrote
an article for the Vallejo Chronicle, which
criticized the action of his superior officer.
This in the naval regulations constitutes
a breach of discipline, and for this he was
tried, but the editor of the paper, the only
person by whom the charge could be
proven, refused to appear before the court.
As there is no law to compel the attendance
of witnesses before a naval court-martial,
and as Commander Coghlan entered a plea
of not guilty to the charge, the court en
tered a verdict in accordance with the evi
dence brought before it, and found a ver
dict of not guilty.

SLIDE AND CAMERA.
Second Night's Exhibition of Pho
tographs.
Fins Display by the Society of Pacific Coast
Amateurs— The Ladi'as to the Fore.
A Decided Success.
< $Sft>»
nOTOGEAPAY, the work of
amateurs, attracted a great
number of people to the rooms
of the Art Association, which
were again crowded to the
doors last night with a de
lighted and enthusiastic audi
ence, come to witness the last
of the Lenten exhibitions of the Pacific
Coast Amateur Photographic Society.
E. S. Woods, the President, again made a
short speech, enumerating the pleasures
and benefits of amateur photography and
the great aid to science that it was daily de
veloping into. The increasing pogularit y
of the camera as a means of recreation was
illustrated by the fact that although the
society, organized In 18S3, was larger to-day
than ever, still another had to be called into
existence which at that very moment was
in session elsewhere.
He further congratulated the society on
at last opening its doors to amateurs of both
sexes, the studies by ladies on its <valls be
ing now to be seen aud appreciated, and the
first public exhibition of the handiwork of
the fair sex being made these two evenings
past at the lantern exhibition. The exhi
bition will remain open during the day for
the remaind er of the week, while on Friday
night the rooms will be open to visitors ir mi
8 to 11 o'clock in the eveniug, with, how
over, no further lantern entertainment for
the present, whatever may come of arrange
ments pending in the near future.
Viewing lite I'icturt.s
At the lantern exhibition every known
system of photography was represented.
Platinum, carbon, alpha, bromide, plain
salted paper, plain salted prints on India
paper, blue prints nnd aristotvpes — the
latter chiefly useful for microscopic studies
—all were there. To particularize would
be invidious. Still, Professor Burnhain's
slides taken in and around Mount Hamil
ton, in the neighborhood of the Lick Ob
servatory, one especially where the observa
tory itself dimly shows at a distance as an
indistinct speck in the clouds, and at
Cayenne, the latter illustrating the phases
of the total eclipse as viewed by the Fred
Crocker party, of which the Profossor was
one, were warmly received.
lv the same connection special mention
is due the photograph corona by W. L.
Oliver, fur till the Cloverdale results no
photographing of this phase of an eclipse
had ever been very largely or successfully
indulged iv.
Then the "Good Morning" of the two
polite roosters and the "Lay on, Mcaduff,"
of the same birds in another temper, both
by Miss Josephine Hyde of Oaklaud, were
enthusiastically received. Besides, her's
were the first lady's pictures ever exhibited
iv California. Miss Hitchcock's gruesome
"Skull and Cioss-boues," an old Indian
study, was good, 100.
In some of the harbor scenes, notably
those by George W. Reed, the effect of
light aud shadow on the water was caught
to a nicety. A "Sunset Scene" of Brooks'
seemed a special favorite, the "Italian
Fishing-boat" being equally well received.
The series of Mexican bull-fight views by
Robinson was very lifelike. The "Twins
—as the lecturer described It— by the same
artist, a little girl aud her pel dog, was a
pretty conceit. George Tnsheira was well
represented by some capital harbor aud
pastoral scenes. The Egyptian Boy by
Mark Requa stood out in bold relief,
shapely and natural and admirably taken.
McConnell's "Washee, Washee," as the lec
turer introduced a Chinese washing group,
called for a hearty laugh of approbation.
Another Chinese study, "John," cradling
for gold in the deserted tracks of old 'liters,
by Partridge, was happily rendered.
The glimpses of forked lightning that
presented themselves on the lens ot San
lord Robinson, when attempting to photo
graph some distant boats in the harbor on a
stormy day at San Jose Guatemala,
were vivid to a degree and scientifically in
teresting. The "Little Student," by Reed—
a young girl with her book on her lap in a
cosy rocking chair, was a pretty study,
and brought down the house, as indeed, all
In which. innocent childhood appeared in
the photographs. Some of the snow scenes
taken during the late winter will prove in
teresting historical : records and are excep
tionally good. ; An ox-team hauling lumber
in the woods, by Miss Hyde, showed her
diversity of skill.
| Altogether the society is certainly to be
congratulated upon the success of its exhi
bition.

The designing and arranging of the
booths, representing the twelve seasons, is
the handiwork of Miss Mary D. Bates, who,
with the aid of her lady assistants, did nil
of the work and carried out the designs
without remuneration.
JANUARY.
January is represented by a contrasting
winter— old-fashioned one in the East,
with Santa Clans bearing his precious bur
den of presents on his back, standing along
side of a Christmas tree loaded with the
good things of the season, and a winter in
California, where golden oranges hang upon
the trees, flowers bloom and the winter of
the western slope laughs {joyously at bis
frozen brother over the range as he sings,
"Lol now has come our joyful feast, let
every one be jolly." This booth is presided
over by Miss May Andrews, Miss Lena An
drews, Miss Emily Britton, Miss Maggte C.
Guiler. Miss Christina Guiler, Miss Josie
Hauify, Miss Bertha Williams, Miss Kittle
Forester, Miss Olive Cutler and Miss Alice
Eauibo.
FEBRUARY.
February, the month devoted to loves, was
very appropriately the dwelling-place of
doves. There were doves with billet-doux
in their bills and a dove-cote in the rear. A
couple of doves were arranging their toilet
and making love in front of a mirror, over
which hung the branches of the cork-bark
elm in full bloom. A rustic fence in front
completed the picture of a yard. The ladies
who presided over the destinies of this
booth were the Misses L. M. Blake, Jos
phine Brown, Ida Uoane, Lizzie King and
Florence Stapleton. The articles for sale
were mostly stationery.
MARCH.
March was a blustering kind of a booth.
The wrecked umbrellas that were there to
be seen would paralyze any umbrella fiend,
and as for the small boys' kites, they were
without number and in every condtion of

dilapidation. Two telegraph poles were
erected outside of the fence and the wire
was In a fearful state of demoralization
with tangled kites and kite tails. This
booth also contains a phonograph, at
which twelve persons can listen at one
time to the sounds cooped up inside. The
young Misses who attend to the visitors
here are the Misses Maud Bristol, Clara
Duncan, Myra Holt and Catherine Pike.
.APRIL.
April Is a gypsy camp, with all the ac
cessions. The tents, skins . and general
paraphernalia to be found in one of those
wild, weird places are faithfully introduced,
even to the fortune-tellers. The young
ladies were dressed in the picturesque cos
tumes of gypsies, and looked very pretty.
They were the Misses Emma Eraser, Kate
Paddock, Mabel Lowe, Kiltie Hamilton and
the two Indian fortune-tellers, " Seattle"
and " Angeline." Seattle was reduced to
the direst extremity because she could not
walk pigeon-toed enough to suit her tastes,
but her Indian moccasins helped her out
very much.
MAY.
The device for May is a railroad ticket
offlce at which are the advertisements of all
the excursions about to take place, and
where the patrons of the festivals can select
their excursions and buy their tickets from
the fair hands of the Misses Daisy Hoi
brook. Bertha E. Stringer, Jennie M. Weed,
Annie Martin and Mrs. Fortescue. These
ladies will also be pleased to sell curios to
any desiring them.
JUNE.
June is a very proper montb to be repre
sented by a seed and plant store, and the
lovers of floriculture can make a selection
from the stock on hand, at which they will
be assisted by the Misses Lizzie G. May,
Lizzie Macy, Carrie Gould, Amelia Volk
man, Daisy Griswold, . Miss Wallace, Miss
Roman and Miss Chase.
; JULY.
July comes to the fore with a life-sized
figure ot Uncle Sam, dressed In full regi
mentals. All kinds of patriotic designs,
figures and fire-works are there, and the
legend, "A funny, snap," shows where the
fun comes In. I The patriotism of the gentle
men visitors is kept alive by Mrs. J. T.
McDonald and the Misses Edith Latham,

A translation from the Golden Gate to
the flowery gardens of Japan under ordi
nary circumstances is a difficult matter,
but at the festival it is only stepping out of
July into August, going through a rustic
gate belonging to a rustic fence, and there
you are. At the-en trance on the left is the
flowering quince tree of Japan in full
bloom. But things are not always what
they seem, and these flowers are only .
paper. The Japanese screens, sashes,
lanterns, fans, musical instruments
and curios are very attractive, and they
are set off to advantage by the additional
charms of the Misses Bertha Behlow,
Annie Childs, Sadie Goemar, Mrs. George

SEPTEMBER. \W_\_\
A trip to the harvest field Is a pretty
device representing September. It is "a
farm-yard in liarvest time. The straw is
being threshed by as pretty a set of thresh
ers as ever laid siege to the heart of a poor
swain. Farming utensils lie around in pro
fusion, and a trip to the moon is given at
cut rates. Misses Belle Runyan, Kittie

triumph. The walls are made to represent
a winter scene, and at the tables are served '

FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is an effective remedy, as numerous testimo-
nials conclusively prove. "For two years
I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia
and liver complaint I doctored a long
time and the medicines prescribed. In nearly
every case, only aggravated tlie disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. I did - so, and was cured
at a cost of $5. Since that time It has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
believe It to be the best medicine on earth." '
—P. F. McNulty, Hackman, 23 Summer at,
Lowell, Mass. SEB_B9B_B________R
FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when tlie complaint origi-
nates in impoverished blood. - "I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of tha
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth-
ing that I did for the complaint helped ma
so much as'Ayer's Sarsaparllla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." — C. Erick, 14 ____.
Main st., Chillicothe, Ohio.
FOR ERUPTIONS
And all disorders originating in impurity of
the blood, such as bolls, carbuncles, pimples,
blotches, salt-rheum, scald-head, scrofulous
sores, and the like, take only .
