The San Berdoonites Hnjoy Themselves and
Show Their City to Advantage—A
Grand Bill Winds Up an
i linjoyabie Day
Say Bernardino eclipsed ItseU yester
day In its grand fraternal May festival,
which is as much as to say that the cel
ebration in that city was the most bril
liant of the hind ever given In Southern
California, for San Bernardino is noted
for having outshone every city in the
south on -May day celebrations. Early
in the morning vehicles of all kinds
began to pour In from the neighbor- i
ing towns, and every train brought its
quota, so that by !* o'clock the mala
thoroughfares were thronged with peo
ple. The early trains from this city took
out a large number of visitors, many of
whgsj) remalm d over night to attend the
balr which concluded the gala occasion.
Such a splendid gathering ul' people has
perhaps never been brought together
in this section outside ef Los Angeles.
And such a jolly crowd they were!
Everyone was filled with tlte holiday
spirit. Everyone wore his best bib and
tucker and a happy smile, and nothing
occurred throughout tic day to mar the
general feeling oi' merriment and joy.
Gayly decked equipages and numerous
dashing equestrians helped to swell the
throng, and make the scene one of
brightness and life.
The first feature of the day's festivi
ties was a grand parade. AS early as
half past 8 there were signs of unwonted
activity about the side streets, where
the procession was in process of forma
tion. Mounted aides dashed here and
there, forming the different divisions.
Brightly decked floats and carriages
moved toward the central point, and
MISS B. M. KENDAL!., THE MAY QUEEN
bands of music were heard playing In
various quarters, preparatory to en
tering' the lung line that was forming on
Third sen el.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the grand < ay
. alcade to prepared to march, and
word was given to go. Marshal Van
Dorm at the head of his mounted force
led the way up Third street, followed
by Grand Marshal X. G. Gill and two
■of his aides. F. T. Singer and George
Heap. Immediately behind them came
the Riverside band. At the head of all
the tloats. anil very appropriately too,
came the Pioneers' drag, it was built
after the fashion of a prairie schooner
- with open sides and was decorated at
each corner with large yucca stalks in
full bloom. With the Pioneers were also
tiie veterans of the Next
' came the veterans of the (J. A. R/There
were not as many as on former ocea
• sions. but they marched with tbe same
. proud spirit and received just as much
applause as w hen their ranks were not
So thin.
Company X of the X. G. C. led by
Capt. Goff, enme next in order. The
boys showed up splendidly in their uni
forms, each wearing a garland of roses
and flowers upon their caps and guns.
Then followed the member* of
tiie various fraternal orders, who
had taken such an active part in mak
' ing the affair a success. First came the
oi-der of the Chosen Friends, ne:-:t the
Woodmen of the World, including a
large delegation from Magnolia lodge
of Riverside; after them came the Na
tive Sons ~r in,. Golden West, Knights
of Pythias, Independi nt Order of Odd
Fellows, tin- two local lodges combin
ing and leading at their head a caper
ing goat with a suggestive air about
him. All of th,. men wore their respec
tive regalia and presented an excell
ent appearance in the parade
At the rear of the- lit,, oivjsion was
the lire department headed by one of
the hose wagons elaborat, lyand i,. a u
titully dee,,tat. ,1 with flowers. I>.n
the wagon Mas built a derrick, at the
apex of which hung a ll,ual bell ma j r .
of red geraniums, lined with whit,-roses
the tongue being of tiger lilies. Just
behind the wagon marched the fire
The Coiton band came in advance of
the second division, which was com- '
posed entirely of the floats from the '
public schools. There were twenty-five
in all, handsomely dec,rated and liter- j
ully shining with the bright faces of the
school children. The national colors !
formed the groundwork Of nearly every :
one. and from several the flag floated
■ prominently. Beautiful flowers In end- '
less profusion decked the children's
car. enhancing the happy picture. Ev
eryone was proud when he saw the
youthful citizens and parents forgot
their age as they watched the keen en
joyment which shone from their chil
dren's radiant faces.
Class of '96 of the High school followed
the band in employ's tallyho drawn bj
four horses, with outriders, and the
class colors, cardinal and gold, flaunted
in every breeze, while the th- class \-H
was continuous. Glass ~f 'lis followed
In a carryall; colors green and white
Class of '97 came next in Brazelton's
tallyho. drawn by four white horses
• decorated with the class colors, cream
and scarlet. ProfessorPerrln's business

After the public school floats and car
riages came a pretty float from Miss
Johnson's kindergarten, with Miss John
son and Miss Nellie Brown in charge
of the little ones.
The next to follow was the glee club
float, bearing thirty picked singers from
all of the schools.
There was one more carriage before
the royal car. It was that which was
furnished by the courtesy of the man
aging committee for the ladies who had
acted as May day queens on former an
niversaries. Those who had the honor
of riding in this vehicle were: Mrs.
Eunice Chenall, nee Whaley; Mrs. Syl
via Davenport, nee Brown; Mrs. Susan
Carson, nee Clark: Mrs. George Lord,
jr.. nee Hancock; Mrs. Maggie Cochran,
nee Keir: .Mis. Lizzie Rowell, nee Wag
ner; Mrs. May Henry, nee Mannen;
Mrs. Belle Davis, nee Whitlow; and
Miss Ella Grimes, Miss Nellie Ridley and
Bertha Johnson and Miss Maggie' Mo
geau.
Then came the royal float on which
was borne the festal queen. Miss Beulah
Morse Kendall, and her court, i'pon tlie
topmost seal sat the young sovereign.
With the bishop, Leo Bryne, at her side.
At the foot of the royal seat were her
majesty's two pages. Masters Robert
and Perry Jones. The queen's maids
and flower girls were ranged in two
rows around the throne. The royal car
Was drawn by four magnificent white
horses. White was the groundwork of
the decorations, over which was decked
an effective arrangement of flowers.
Nothing iii the parade equaled this beau
tiful float, and certainly nothing could
have added more to its beauty than the
array of youthful figures upon it.
The third division was headed by the
Cadet band, it was made up ot decorat
ed vehicles competing for prizes, nnd
was much like the floral parade of La
Fiesta.
Tiie display nf flowers was gorgeous.
Great taste was displayed in prepaying
the equipages for the procession, and
the result was exceedingly brilliant.
Mrs. Smith Halle's buggy was all in
white roses decorated with butterflies.
It was driven by Miss Beta Boron and
Miss Addie Mce.
Miss Poppett and Miss Hott appeared
with an exquisite design in pink.
.Miss Wall drove a cart, also in pink,
which was very pretty.
Mrs. Lemon drove a buggy in which
cypress had largely been used in deco
ration.
Mrs. G. A. At wood's entry was ail in
white, and the flowers were certainly
artistically arranged.
The Misses Riley and Waters appeared
with a handsomely decorated wagon.
-Misses Till! ■ Wolff and Miss Sadie Pil
ger had one of the prettiest vehicles in
the procession.
The winners are as follows:
Best floral display. Ore department.

CORONATION EXERCISES.
I The pavilion, which has often been the
scene of the crowning of the May queen,
never presented a grander spectacle
than it did yesterday. The entire build
ing was draped in streamers of red,white
and blue, with evergreen festoons hang
lag from the galleries and flowers every
where. Over the stage was an exquisite
design in floral I,•tiering. ••Fraternal
-May Day." Over Smm people crowded
into the immense building, filling it com
pletely. All of the front seats on the
main floor were reserved for the school
At the center of the stage was the
queen's throne, which was a perfect
bower of white roses Next to it was
the Bishop's chair, while on either side
were arranged seats for the maids of
I honor and the flower girls.
The glee club and the Fireside band
1 occupied th" back, and the ex-qusens
sat at each end of the stage.
The bind opened the program with a
selection.after which Miss Josle Palmer
i ommenced the triumphal march. Down
the central aisle came the royal party,
preceded by the flower girls, each with
ing a carpet of flowers before their sov
ereign. Miss Beulah Morse Kendall,
the beautiful queen, followed on the ami
of her bishop, Leo Byrne. The meln of
th« young festal queen was modest, yel
royal in eveiy sense. She was dressed
In white mull, with a garland of srnilax
over her shoulder.
The scene was indeed a royal one.
■The bishop bore himself gracefully and
witii becoming dignity. He wore the
regulation pontifical robes with a mitre
on his head. When the queen and her
suite were seated the glee club, under
the able direction of their music teach
er. .Miss Miller, rang America, in which
tic audience joined heartily. After
prayer by tho Rev. David Walk, the fra
ternal address of welcome to the or
ders participating w as delivered by the
Rev. J. R. Knodell. Little Addie Price
then sang the Red. White av.rl Blue, the
glee club Joining ill the chorus

d.-iy. was then Introduci d and in a brief

manner. The""band gave another selec

elegant and most courtly address, placed
a crown of white carnations and smilax
Miss Kendall received the crown witii
responded to the bishop's coronation
speech with a number of appropriate
verses, in the happiest and most gra
tremely beautiful and was executed
with such grace and ease that it won
the applause of the thousands of loyal
subjects there assembled.
The glee club contributed another
song, the band followed with a conclud
ing selection, and the court occasion
was nt an end. Her majesty, the bishop
and the royal court remained for some
time upon the stage, where many
friends i-alled to do homage to their fes-

In tiie afternoon the spirit of merri
ment was kept alive by a series of sports
which though unlike the field days of
tin- pros-id. were highly enjoyed by all.

they saw a troop of little girls sporting

Down at the corner of Third and F
streets there was a good-natured gath
ering of many hundred people, all trying
to get a view of the different sporting
events that were being brought off in
the street. There were a number of in
teresting contests of various natures.
The merchants of the city had contrib
uted prizes for the winners, and there
Was a great struggle to win them. Part
of the program was brought off at one
place, when a change would be made to
some other quarter, thus allowing ev
ery one to get a chance at witnessing
them. Tbe San Bernardino band fur
nished music at frequent intervals,
I which added not a little to the enjoy
ment of the afternoon. Following is a
partial list of the events, with the names
of the winners:
• hie hundred yards, boys—Herbert
Gould first, Fred Blanchard second.
One hundred yards, open—Louis Sla

The sports were continued well on Into
the afternoon, thus furnishing amuse
ment for a long while without any dull
lapses of time. One of the best features
ef ilie celebration was the attendance of
several bands, who were not at all
stingy with there music. AH in al! the
occasion was one of great merriment,
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
As it was prepared within a eompara
tivi ly short space of time and that with
very little expense, the citizens should
( Ongratulate themselves on its unquali
fied success.
Fifteen hundred people danced at the
pavilion Inst r.ljrht at a ball under the
auspices ot the fraternities of the city.

State of Trade

While Wholesale Lines Show Very Little
Improvement

With Confidence to Better Trade
During the Autumn
Associated Tress Special Wire.
NEW YORK, May 1. —R. G. Dun & Co.s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: As the season advances there is
more business, but on the whole the
prevalent feeling ls that the gain ls less
than there was reason to expect. While
the retail trade has been active enough
to materially lessen stocks and obliga
tions and thus prevent a great many
threatened embarrassments, it lias not
yet brought new business to mills or
factories to prevent a decrease of un
filled orders and the closing of some
works. Substantially the same state
jof tilings exists in all the great indus
tries, notwithstanding strong combina
tions in some and evidence of inade
quate consumption appears in the fact
that the general range of prices for com
modities, farm and mine as well as
manufactured products, is nearly one
tier cent lower than it was April i. and
the lowest ever known, the decline since
October, 1892, being 16.7 per cent. Wheat
declined i% for cash, with better ac
counts of winter and rapid seeding of
serin,;. With only two months of the
crop year remaining ihere is little to
encourage higher prices. Silk weak
ened a little, owing to the overloading
of Japanese dealers. Wool is weak, the
wool year closing with the greatest
quantity of wool on hand ever carried
at this season. Woolen goods have not
Improved in demand, and flannels
opened 5 to 15 per cent lower than last
year. Dress good.-, are helped by the
restriction of foreign imports, but re
ports show that wool machinery is not
more than half employed. Seven cot
ton mills have ceared operations, in
cluding one large printing establish
ment, and stocks on hand still Increase
though for brown goods there has been
a better legitimate demand and great
quantities of ginghams have been
moved by drives at prices low beyond
all precedent. The decrease in ship
men, of woolen goods from Europe has
been quite marked.
Large purchases of lake ore by princi
pal consumers, contracts securing con
ic of low phosphorous ore, and lowe>
tioi of low phosphorus ore, and lower
coke in order to compete with Pocahon
tas coke, are the main features in the
non industry, but the revival demand
is yet deferred. Higher prices for nails
caused active buying for the week, but
large consumers decline to contract as
yet ior bars, and the rod combination
has fallen through.
Structural products are good, but in
other branches the demand is less ac
tive,

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
Bradstreet s says there is relatively
less improvement in general trade this
v -' 1.. the present partaking of betwe»n
seasons character. Wholesale merch
chants in staple lines it; many instances
look ahead with confidence to autumn.
.in il in such departments as agricultural
Implements, building materials and
hardware tin re is reported a moderate
revival.
There is an unexpectedly small num
ber of strikes this season. In iron and
steel there are advances in prices for
special grades of pig iron, due to the out
put of Lake Superior ores having been
practically taken up by a few interests.
Ihe so-called steel trust is reported
to be extending its territory. Higher
ouotations are announced for coffee, cot
ton, petroleum and anthracite coal,
v, bile print cloths and lumber are prac
tically tint hanged. Copper Is easier and
wool sold at concessions. The most en
couraging feature of the woolen goods
market, from the point of view of the
domestic mills, is the higher cost of for
eign woolens.
In the Wror.e House
W. S. Hough is a barber, and one
addicted to tin- use of liquor. He was
only discharged from the city jail three
days ago. after having served a term
for drunkenness, and last night was on
another spree. He entered a house on
Stevenson avenue, near Third street,
when none of the adults were at home,
and calmly disrobed and went to bed.
The children in the residence were scar
ed half out of their wits and ran Into
the street crying murder.
OiFicer Bobbins was summoned and
went Inside, compelled Hough to dress
and accompany him to the station. As
he was on the verge of delerium trem
ens lie was booked for medical treat
ment.
st-pped a Runaway
George Murphy, employed by the Los
I Angeles transfer company, stopped a
runaway horse at the corner of Castelar
and Alpine strests at 11 oelock last night
and came nearly being severely injured
thereby. The team had been hitched in
front of a residence and the horse, be
\ coining frightened, broke the strap and
i ran off. Murphy saw him coming and
j jumped in front, seizing the lines. One
I of the shafts caught in his coat, nearly
■ ripping the garment from his person, and
ihe was knocked down and bruised. The I
j horse was stopped, however, and later j
; returned to its owner.

NEW YORK,May I.—ln a communica
tion to the Commercial-Advertiser to
day on the outlook for the Republican
presidential nomination, Hon .Joseph
H. Mauley of Augusta, Me., says: "Any
speculation to the effect that the friends
of Speaker Reed mean to withdraw him
from the contest or that they are dis
couraged Is baseless. McKinley never
can be nominated. It will be an Issue
that will win at St. Louis. That Issue
w ill be sound money."
KxSenator T. C. Piatt said: "I will
say, and most emphatically, too, that
Morton is still in the race, and to stay.
He is not going to be withdrawn. And
we are not 'gi\ing up' anything."

THINKS SHE WAS DECEIVED
Miss Ashley Preparing Her Case Against
•'Lucky" Baldwin
Defendant Claims That He Was So Well
Known as a Lothario That He Could
Not Deceive Anybody
PAX FRANCISCO, May I.—Miss Lil
lian Ashley of Pasadena, the young wo
man who is siting Millionaire E. J. Bald
win for $76,000 for basely deceiving her,
is in the city. She has come to consult
with her attorneys, preparatory to the
beginning of the trial on May 4.
Crittenden & Van Wyck have the case
in hand for her and Lloyd & Wood and
Henry Hlghton are going to assist Mr.
Baldwin m hold on to his ducats. It
will be recalled that some months ago
when he tiled an answer to Miss Ash
ley's preliminary suit Baldwin alleged
that his reputation was so notorious
| around the country as a Lothario that
j it should have been impossible for him
to have deceived any lady by any sort
of specious argument. This was one
reason why he thought he ought to hold
on to the $7r,.000 or any other sum Miss
Ashley might desire.
The trial, Which is to begin before Su
perior Judge Slack on Monday next, will
no doubt attract great attention. Bald
win ls so well known nnd the sum sued
for of so large size, that throngs are
sure to attend. The young lady is by no
means devoid of attraction and she will
doubtless arouse deep interest.
Most of the testomony will be by dep
osition. There have been several taken,
aggregating several hundred pages.
The deposition of Miss Ashley herself
is spread over 450 pages.

TAKEN IN THE VERY ACT
A Sao Francisco Stranglcr Falls Into
tbe Toils
A Conversation Half Overheard (Uvea around
for Hope That a Huch-Wantcd
Villain Is Captured
SAN FRANCISCO, May I.—Another
supposed strangler ls behind the bars at
the city prison, and, unlike those who
have preceded him, he Is In a measure
Mil-Confessed and was also caught In
the very act of throttling a woman of the
half world in a dark and deserted alley
off Montgomery street, near Washing
ton. It was at an early hour this morn
ing When the crime was committed, and
at the time, the electric lights being
out. It was dark as pitch,
Officer F. Robl. who patrols Montgom
ery street, was walking along his beat
when lie was startled upon reaching
Merchant alley to hear the gurgling
sounds of a strangling human being.
His mind being full of the recent out
lageous murders, he quickly arrived at
the conclusion that another helpless wo
man was being assaKsinated. and rush
ed up the alley. Just as he reached the
center of the block ho heard a man's
voice cry out: ' If you cry, 1 w ill stran
gle you to death us 1 did tho other notor
ious woman of your class." This spurr
ed him cm in his search, and finally he
spied a large man with his lingers
clutched around the throat of a woman
who was prostrate on the pavement.
The Wotlld-be assassin and the officer
saw each other at (he same time, and the
former released his hold on his victim
and sprang up as If to escape, but Robl
was too quick for him and soon had him
safely ironed. The woman then got up
and both were started for the California
street police station. On reaching the
light it was observed that the victim of
the assault w as a young colored woman.
When they reached the station a mes
senger was dispatched for Detective Ren
Bohen, and in the meantime the man
was charged with battery. He gave the
name of John Lewds.and said he was an
Iron molder by occupation. He failed
to explain the motive which led him to
assault and nearly murder the young
colored woman.

taken. Mr. Brown provided the local
officers with a description of some hobos
who had been loafing around the yard

rested at North Pomona with about
this amount of money in their persons,

kecfnt Inr.nUretion
The latest immigration statistics from
Kliis island. New York, arc instructive, i
it appears that from January 1 to April |
17 of the present year, 06,290 Immigrants
were landed at that place, against 16,265
for the four months of January to April,
! inclusive, ISi)i>. Of the former number
about 20,000 were Italians, of the latter
! 11.536.
It appears from this that .while the to
tal Immigration has increased fourfold
I over the same period of last year, the
' Italian contingent hasn't quite doubled.
I Even with the arrival In a few days of
• J 797 Italians, now en route, the porcent
i age of Italian to total immigration
i shows p. marked decrease over the cor
! responding period of last year. It may |
j be added that of the 66,290 Immigrants
i from January 1 to April 17, TOHS were I
] classed as illiterate.
If these figures are accurate, they in
dicate a fallacy in the comments lately
heard to the effect that the Abyssinian
war was the cause of tiie great stimulus
to immigration of the last few months, j
While a Visible increase in that from |
Italy is noticeable, it is also to be oh- j
served that some still more powerful !
! agencies are at work to stimulate that
; from other countries. It would be inter- jesting
| esting to trace these agencies.—-Boston i

Riverside Shipments
] The I.os Angeles Times is forced by
i the fact of Riverside's 2000 carloads of
! oranges this year to "admit" that when
i the young groves come into bearing In
! "the oldest colony" it will "doubtless re
! sume" its former standing os a producer
jof oranges, it happens that Riverside
' is not the "oldest colony," and further,
! that it has never lost its standing as the
j producer of the best fruit in the largest
! quantity of any city in the state, and
| therefore cannot very well "resume."
Ever since Riverside gained the lead
over those earlier planted sections about
I Han Gabriel and Anaheim she bas, in
! spite of her detractors, hold as unques
! tinned a lead In citrus fruit growing as
! Fresno holds In regard to raisins. And
j as she has never in her history since
failed to ship three times the quantity
of fruit grown by any other section, it is
misleading to damn her by such com
| ments as the Times indulges In. —RiV( r

VV transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts— gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are. not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, S.yrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valuo good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating; tha
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, t hat you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California,
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system' is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies aro not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, ona
may bo commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed every where, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction,

THE FIRST CROP.
The crops of peaches, apricots and
grapes in this valley have been seri-
I ously injured by tiie recent frosts. Re
! cent Investigations have developed tho
extent of the injuries, and have also
' set tie- dried fruit men agog, and the
j result is that during the past two weeks
a large quantity of fruit has boon pur
' chased on the trees by representatives
! of companies which feel assured of the
' scarcity for next season.
The greatest shortage promises to be
in raisins and peaches. Very few raisin
i grapes in th" vineyards of til is* valley
j w ill mature this year. Peaches have
I also suffered! apricots less, and there
j may lie one-third to one-half of the usual
! crop.
