TO HAVE A BIG PARADE.
An Enthusiastic Meeting of
the Fourth of July
Committee.
GRAND MILITARY SHOWING.
I. W. Hellman Elected Treasurer.
Various Committee Meetings.
Ladles Invited.
There was a meeting of all the committees
appointed to look after the details of the
Fourth of July celebration at the head
quarters of the Fourth of July committee
yesterday. Mr. W. H. Davis, chairman of
the executive committee, presided. Much
enthusiasm was shown by the fifty gentle
men present. There was a spirited discus
sion as to whether the expenditure should
be the same as on former occasions or on a
much larger scale, and the individual who
suggested the former found himself very
much in the minority.
Grand Marshal Edwin L. Forster re
ported encouraging progress, and an
nounced that it was his intention to in
vite all the military or civic organizations
in the City to participate. General War
field had consented to a parade of the
militia, including infantry, cavalry and
artillery and naval battalion. The follow
ing communication was read :
Headquarters Department of California, )
San Francisco, May 25, 1895. j
Mr. Edwin L. Forster, Grand Marshal Fourth
of July Committee. Room 1, Mills Building, City—
Sib: The department commander directs me
to inform you that orders will be issued in due
time for the following designated troops to par
ticipate in the ceremonies in this City attend
ant upon the celebration of American inde
pendence on the 4th af July next :
From Angel Island— The colonel, staff, band
and four companies of the First Infantry.
From the Presidio of San Francisco— Two
troops of cavalry and two light batteries of ar
tillery. Very respectfully,
O. D. Greene.
Assistant Adjutant-General.
He had received many assurances of co
operation and expected this to be the finest
parade seen in the City for many years.
The chairmen of the various committees
were authorized to call their respective
committees together at such time as they
chose.
G. W. Owen, secretary, read the follow
ing communications which, after some dis
cussion, were referred to the committee on
finance:
Sa^ Francisco, May 24, 1895.
To the Fourth of July Committee: I recom
mend the following for your consideration and
adoption:
Resolved, That all propositions requiring the
expenditure of money shall be in writing and
in proper form, excepting emergency expenses
for small amounts. Such propositions shall
not be submitted to the executive committee
for action unless they are accompanied by a
certified check for such amount (previously de
termined by the president and by the chair
man of the executive committee)'before pres
entation. Be It further
Resolved, That all bills must receive the sig
natures of the chairman and secretary of the
executive committee, as well as that of the
auditing committee, before a warrant can be
drawn upon the treasurer for the amount. Re
spectfully submitted. W. T. Galloway,
Chairman Auditing Committee.
San Francisco, Hay 27, 1895.
T&. T. Galloway. Chairman Auditing Committee —
Dear Sir: Realizing the extreme difficulty ex
perienced in securing funds for the celebration
of the Fourth ot July I herewith submit a plan
which in my judgment will be found to act as
a safeguard again^ any misappropriation of
money collected and will also inspire confidence
on the part of our citizens in the stability and
business integrity ot the committee.
Let each collector be supplied with a specially
printed receipt-book bearing the name and
location of the headquarters of the celebration
committee and the fac-simile signature of the
president and secretary thereof. Let each
book contain fifty receipts and stubs to be
numbered in duplicate and arranged for dupli
cate entries in the usual manner.
Number each book and charge each collector
with the same and make an entry stating the
series number of his receipt. Furnish him
with a written authorization showing his book
and series number and state in the printed
form in each receipt that he is required to
have and show the same.
Put all the collectors under bonds. Require
a return each day of all moneys collected and
immediately mail to each subscriber an
acknowledgement and receipt for the amount
of his subscription and request him to report
any errors or inaccuracies.
Publish in the daily papers a list, giving full
name and address of collector. Respectfully
yours, G. W. Owen.
Mr. Kinney objected to requiring collect
ors to furnish bonds, as those collectors
would probably be business men of stand
ing who would resent sucii implied reflec
tion upon their honesty. It was explained
that the purpose was to employ collectors
and pay them a certain percentage of the
amount collected.
Mr. Caswell opposed employing collect
ors. If reputable business men made the
canvass it would be more thoroughly done
and with far better success.
Grand Marshal Forster wanted no reck
less expenditure, but he wanted to see the
parade surpass the one of 1539. He
wanted it to be in every sense a patriotic
parade.
Mr. Ticknor moved that the matter be
left to the discretion of the finance com
mittee, which motion prevailed.
G. W. Owen made a strong plea for an
imposing celebration, saying that it would
prove a good business investment. For
every dollar expended there would be a re
turn of ten. As an enterprising young
man of Santa Cruz had written him, "the
country people will come if there is any
thing new, but they don't want to see the
same old thing."
Mr. Hammond was of the same opinion,
and said that towns for which San Fran
ciscans affected Jo feel supreme contempt
had set this City an example by the lavish
ness of their outlay for floral fetes.
Charles J. King nominated 1. W. Hell
man Jr. treasurer of the general com
mittee and he was unanimously elected.
Professor Smith moved that a letter be
addressed to the Mayor asking that the
flowers in use on that day be sent to the
kindergartens, almshouses and other
public institutions of the kind, and that
the papers be requested to give prom
inence to the matter, which motion was
adopted.
The committees and chairmen are as
follows :
Executive committee, W. H. Davis; finance,
Frank Dalton; auditing, W. T. Galloway:
printing, Piofessor W. A. C. Smith; decoration,
Frank D. Worth; parade, 8. L. Lent; fire
works, A. A. Banz; music, Captain James A.
Maigo; literary. Dr. Georere L. Fitch; enter
tainment, A. Bouvier; invitation and recep
tion, H. P. Sonntag; transportation, S. C.
Hammond.
The chairman and secretary were in
structed to draft a circular letter to the
ladies who have been appointed on the re
spective committees, urging them to co
operate with the gentlemen in working for
the success of the celebration.
ABOUT A BAKERY.
Fraud Alleged in Its Management by
Several Parties.
Mary Queirolo, as administratrix of the
estate of Gerolarao Queirolo and guardian
of the minor heirs, has sued Angelo Cuneo
and others, constituting a firm, G. Queirolo
& Co., to have the said firm declared fraud
ulently carried on, and that certain prop
erty be declared to belong to the complain
ant. The object in demand by the latter
is a bakery and macaroni, vermicelli and
galetta factory at 511 Green street, valued
at $4000 and upward.
Mrs. Queirolo, who is the divorced wife
of Gerolamo Queirolo, charges A. D. Spliv
alo, attorney, with having conspired with
the other defendants to form an alleged
corporation for the purpose of enabling
Gerolamo Queirolo to conceal his propcrtv
and place it beyond the reach of his di
vorced wife, who was claiming alimony.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895.
She says Bhe had a full settlement with her
ex-husband, but that after his death the
defendants constituting the alleged firm
kept the bakery and adopted tactics to de
preciate its value by waste and neglect.
Among the specific charges in this regard
«-re "purposely supplying inferior goods,
giving credit "recklessly and neglecting to
take proper steps to secure payment of
debts due to said business," with intent to
''harass and annoy plaintiff and drive her
out of said business."
THE CALEDONIAN PICNIC.
Gold Medals and Big Cash Prizes for
Contestants in Athletic
Games.
The Caledonian Club of this City will
have its twenty-ninth annual excursion
and games at Shell Mound Park on Thurs
day, May 30. For twenty-eight years past
the annual outing of the Caledonians has
been an event of more than passing in
terest, and the arrangements so far made
give promise that this year's will far ex
ceed all others.
The club offers a most attractive pro
gramme, with prizes for competition far in
excess of anything yet offered for athletic
competition. There are the Wall, Jacoby
and McNeill gold medals to begin with, for
which the contests will be very warm.
Besides there are $3000 in cash prizes for
successful competitors, not to speak of one
share of the stock of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Railroad, which will go to the
winning team in the great tug-of-war.
This will, no doubt, be the event of the
day, the Caledonian, Thistle, American
and Swedish teams all having entered.
Aside from this there are running races,
hurdle races, hammer-throwing, shot
putting and vaulting events on the pro
gramme, not to sneak of plenty of dancing
with good music for those who prefer to
trip the mazy.
Trains from north and south will reach
Shell Mound Park about noon and every
thing has been done to make the day's en
joyment as pleasant as possible. High
land hospitality will be on top for all.
It does not appear that any baking pow
der, when presented in competition with
the Royal, either at the Government tests
or before world's fair juries, has ever re
ceived favor or award over the Royal or
made an equal showing in purity, strength
or wholesomeness.
MRS. CATHERWOOD WINS
She Fought a Lawsuit for
Her Children and Suc
ceeded.
Judge Hastings Intended a $15,000
Note as a Trust for
Them.
Judge Seawell yesterday handed down a
judgment for plaintiff in the case of Jennie
S. Catherwood, Charles C. H. Catherwood
(by his guardian, Clara L. Catherwood),
Louise C. La Montague and Ernest La
Montagne, against William Giselman and
William Giselman and R. B. Wallace as
executors of the last will of 8. Clinton
Hastings. Mrs. Clara Catherwood, by her
attorney, Samuel M. Shortridge, has
foueht this case patiently on behalf of her
children's interests, and yesterday was
awarded the guerdon of her devotion.
It was a suit to declare that a note and
mortgage for $15,000 on property at Spear
and Harrison streets were held by Wiiliam
Giselman as trustee for the children, to
declare that none but the plaintiffs had
any right in the note and restraining it's
use as part of the estate of Judge Hastings,
Judge Seawell in a written decision, ac
companying the judgment, said the de
fendants were right in their contention that
a trust must be complete to be of effect,
but in this case an absolutely perfect trust
had been created. Mrs. Catherwood had re
quested her father to pay off and extinguish
the mortgage held by Wells, Fargo &Co.'s
bank on her property, but for reasons
stated by him lie had declined to do so.
At the same time he had expressed a de
sire to keep the mortgaged property in
Mrs. Catherwood's family. William Gisel
man himself stated that Judge Hastings
instructed him to go to Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s bank, buy the note and mortgage
with his money and have an assignment in
his name as trustee for the beneht of Mrs.
Catherwood's three children to be delivered
to them at his death, saying that as soon
as he could he would get Kyland Wallace
to reduce the declaration of the trust to
writing. Giselman had informed the Judsre
that he had consummated the transaction
and Judge Hastings had said: "Well, that
settles that."
"It does not appear," continues the
opinion, "that the written declaration was
contemplated by Judge Hastings for the
purpose of creating the trust, but merely
for the purpose of affording durable evi
dence of it. The trust was complete the
moment that the note and mortgage were
purchased and the assignment made to
Giselman. Judge Hastings did not say
'go and buy the note and mortgage with
my money, take an assignment of it in
your name and as soon as I am able I will
go down and have Mr. Wallace prepare a
declaration of trust for the benelit of Mrs.
Catherwood's three children.' He in ex
press terms directs that the assignment
should be taken in Giselman's name aa
trustee for their benefit.
"Their rights became vested as soon as
the purchased assignment of the note and
mortgage were made, and Judge Hastings
himself, even had he so desired, had not
power to afterward revoke the trust which
he had created.
"Judgment will be entered for the plain
tiffs, but without costs."

equaled and never excelled— Jesse Moore Whis

CALLED NATURE'S CARPET.
A Gardener's Ingenious Piece
of Work in Golden
Gate Park*.
NOVEL DESIGNS IN FLOWERS.
Combining Green, Brown, White
and Scarlet for Pretty
Effect.
A carpet of green moss, 156 feet long and
21 feet wide, with immense designs in
natural plants and flowers, is the latest
attraction at Golden Gate Park. It is a
novelty in floral work and very much at
variance with the somewhat stiff geometri
cal figures that in the past have been
looked upon as gems of the gardener's art.
This newest idea in flower, plant and
moss work is on the sloping bank in front
of and to the west of the conservatory and
serves as a beautiful background for the
immense floral sun dial, which is being re
constructed. In a short time the moss
THE LATEST GLOBAL ESiQNS AT THE PABK.
[Sketched yesterday by a "Call" artist.]
will have spread and filled up all the space
between the designs, which, although* but
two weeks planted, are showing their at
tractive coloring.
Thomas Monroe, one of the park garden
ers, who has the suDervision of the outside
plants and flowers, said yesterday: "This
is something new, an idea of mine. When
the time rarae to arrange this bank so as
to make it attractive I felt that the people
must have become tired of looking at the
old style of decoration, so hit upon the
idea of floral figures, taking for my pat
terns the natural flowersj plants and feaves.
These were in the designs increased in
ratio of two and three feet to the inch, and
that is how the proportions are main
tained. The name given to this is nature's
carpet, and the principal colors in the
make-up are browns, gr»ens, white and
scarlet. After the bank had been cleared
of previous growths, and the ground care
fully prepared, I drew the various de
signs — free-hand drawing it was — and then
six men set the moss and plants under my
direction. The designs, commencing at
the eastern end, are an immense palm leaf,
anemone or Japanese wind flower, mar
guerite with full blown flower, a bud and
withered flower, sun flower, spray of
flowers and various leaves, wild rose,
shirley poppy, clover leaves, acanthus,
buckeye, fern and a butterfly to close up
the end.
"The body of the carpet is of spruglen, a
variety of moss, while the designs are of
alternanthera in yellow; tri-colored and
scarlet amabilis is used to make the veins;
some of the stems are made of silver thyme
and of achaveria, commonly called 'hens
and chickens' — sweet alysunim was also
used in work."
The men who followed the lines drawn
by the gardener worked on two-inch planks
thrown across the designs and raised
several inches above them. With a wooden
Erod they made small holes in the ground,
alf a dozen at a time, and then in each
placed the particular plant cut and
trimmed before hand. The foliage filled
in and the stems and vines set, little
bunches of mosa were set and well watered.
Now that these are all growing and the
moss is blending it will require a great
deal of watching and trimming to keep all
the growths of even height and tbereby
maintain the pretty and striking effects.
Last Sunday a large number of the visitors
stopped to look at Gardener Monroe's in
genius work and marvel at the abnormal
sized flowers and leaves.
THOMAS G. LAWLER.
The Cominumler-in-Chlef of the Grand
Army of the Republic Coining to
California in June.
Commander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler
of the Grand Army of the Republic will
leave Rockford, 111., early in June for a
tour of the West extending to the Pacific
Coast. He will attend the annual encamp
ment of the Oregon department, G. A. R..
THOMAS G. LAWLEB,
and then come to San Francisco without
delay. According to the itinerary he will
arrive in California June 20.
The commanders of Lincoln, Thomas,
j Garfield, Meade, Cass and Liberty posts of
| this city will be called together shortly
after Memorial day to adopt a plan for the
reception and entertainment of the national
commander. There is talk of organizing
quite a demonstration in honor of the
| official visit. The comman der-in-chief
cannot tarry long in California. He must
leave here June 24 in order to attend the
j G. A. R. encampment at Salt Lake, so it is
! proi'osed to give him two days in Ban

Jose and one day in Sacramento.
Olympic Salt Water Company.
At the annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Olympic Salt Water Company the following
named were elected directors: John D. Spreck
els, William Greer Harrison, John Rosenfeld,
Joseph D. Grant, W. D. K. Gibson, George E.
Dow, A. P. Hotaling Jr. The following were
chosen officers: John D. Spreckels, president;
William Greer Harrison, vice-president and
managing director: J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Co.,
treasurer; Charles A. Gibson, secretary; George
E. Dow, consulting engineer.
0. A. SPRECKELS' PfiOXT.
He Failed to Produce It in Court as Be
quired.
When the case of C. A. Spreckels Jr.
against the Oceanic Steamship Company
came up in Judge Seaweil's court yester
day Attorney Cole obtained leave to place
C. A. Spreckels J r. on the stand.
The witness stated that he had lost the
proxy which he had declared he received
from C. G. Wheeler in order to vote his
stock at the meeting of the Oceanic Com
pany on January 21, 1895. He said he had
looked through aIJ his papers and differ
ent suits of clothes, but so far had not
been able to find it. He said he had ob
tained three blank proxies from Crocker &
Co. on the morning of the meeting and
had found the two which he had not used.
He then gave his idea of the contents of
the lost proxy.
Attorney Cole said that he had not been
able to procure the attendance of C. B.
Wheeler that mornine. He then asked the
court as to what amendments the " c "
f endants had been permitted to mak e to
their answer. He said his conviction was
that they were allowed to amend by tne
insertion of the denial that the directors of
the company did not control three-fifths of
the stock.
Judge Seawell thought the amendments
would be filed to-day and would speak for
themselves. He added that he thought
there was considerable force in the conten
tion of the defense that the shareholders
had not been asked to call the desired
meeting, and that until then the plaintiff
could not invoke the aid of the courts. He
might require further light on this point.
The grocer sends the new brand of bak
ing powder simply because it costs him so
much less and he can make more profit by
selling it than he can on the Royal. The
Royal is made from the very finest materials
and costs much more than any other
brand, which accounts for its superiority,
although it is sold to consumers at the
same price.
BUSH TAKES COMMAND

J. A. Margo.

tions in the management of the affairs of
the regiment, and he hopes they will as
sist in increasing the interest in his wing
of the National Guard.
As soon as Colonel Bush qualified as the
commanding officer of his rcrriment he was
given by ex-Colonel Sullivan all the books
and records of the organization. Colonel
Bush then formally became the colonel of
the crack regiment, and one of his first acts
was to appoint Captain James A. Margo
his adjutant and to issue the following
order:

office of the colonel will be at 134 Market
street, San Francisco, to which place all com
munications will be sent. Office hours from 12
m. to 1 :30 p. M.
3. Company commanders will at once send
the business address and place of residence of
the commissioned officers and first sergeants ot
their respective companies and keep these
headquarters fully advised of any changes
4. The following appointment on the staff of
the colonel commanding is hereby announced:
James A. Margo to be adjutant with the rank
of captain from date. He will be obeyed and
respected accordingly. H. P. Bcsh,
Colonel First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C.
The second section of the orders is
an innovation. Every evening, except
Sunday, there will be a field or staff officer
on duty at the armory headquarters. The
business headquarters of the regiment have
heretofore been wherever the colonel was,
but this changes things and systematizes
matters. The appointment of Adjutant
Margo will be a popular one. Captain
Margo formerly commanded Company F
of the same regiment, and made a good
record. The matter of the other staff offi
cers will not be acted on for a few days.
Colonel Bush has announced that he will
go actively to work to increase the already
good name of the regiment and to further
build it up.
THE DUBBANT OASES.
They Will Be Tried by Judge Mnrphy
Without Delay.
Presiding Judge Sanderson yesterday as
signed the cases against Durrant, charged
with the murder of Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams, to Judge Murphy for
trial. Judge Murphy has ordered Durraut
to be brought before him for arraignment
to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. So far
only indications of the line to be taken by
the defense have developed, and it is not
known whether it is ready for an imme
diate trial. The case for the people is
understood to be in readiness, and to-mor
row the District Attorney will ask the
court to set as early a day as possible for
the trial.
The Corbett Road.
Judge Murphy yesterday rendered a judg
ment iv favor of A. E. Buckman, who was sued
by Behrend Joost to prevent the tearing down
of a fence on Clara avenue. The defendant
claimed that the fence was upon a part of Cor
bett road, upon which Joost had encroached.
Cleveland can scarcely be seen through his
Almighty Dollar (Cigar) smoke. •
THE PLAYERS' COLUMN
Amann Gives Lifelike Imper
sonations of Celebrities
at the Orpheum.
"A FACE DJ THE MOONLIGHT."
Some Bright Unhackneyed Music
at the Tivoil In "The May
Queen."
The performance given last night at the
Columbia Theater of "All the Comforts of
a Home" gave a large audience plenty of
cause for laughter all through the evening.
Most of the members of the Frawley
Dramatic Company entered thoroughly
into the racy spirit of Gillette's farce com
edy, and the two new members, Maclyn
Arbuckle and Wilson Enos, proved them
selves to be useful additions to its ranks.
Frawley himself gave a breezy and natural
impersonation of Alfred Hastings, the young;
man who raises the wind by turning his
uncle's house into a lodging-house with "All
the Comforts of Home." The part of Tom Me-
Dow, his henchman in the undertaking, was
somewhat overacted by George VV. Leslie, whose
make-up was calculated to deter people from
taking his rooms.
H. D. Blackmore gave an excellent interpre
tation of the part of Theodore Eender,
the frivolous retired produce merchant, who
had dreamed all his life of knowiDg an actress,
and Miss Phosa McAllister as his strong
minded wife awoke the sympathies of every
man in the audience for her down-trodden
husband. Miss Belle Archer looked charming
as Fine Oritanski. Her acting was coquettish
and graceful. Miss Blanche Dates looked
pretty as Evangeline Bender, but her attitudes
wpre rigid and she lacked abandon.
Wilson Enos looked the part of the preten
tious swell to perfection and his acting was
excellent, and Hudson Liston gave a finished
rendering of the part of Augustus McSuath.
All the other parts were well sustained.
The Lilipntians.
" Humpty Dumpty's' second week at the
Baldwin Theater, which opened last night,
snowed that the play is as popular as ever.
There was a large audience and the little artists
were received all through the spectacle with
warm applause.
"The Face in the Moonlight."
The new play at Morosco's is a highly roman
tic drama, full of villainy— not honest Ameri
can villainy, but French villainy andthatof the
deepest dye, where Bourbonists and Bona
partists spy on each other, fight and murder
with a reckless disregard for human life.
Edmund Hayes, the new leading man, fills a
dual role and sustains both characters satisfac
torily, although he seems more at his ease as
the thief and murderer, escaping justice, than
as the officer wearing the Bourbon uniform of
white and gold.
Miss Hall has her usual role of beauty in dis
tress, not to say in the lowest depths of despair.
She looks quite lovely in her bridal robes of
white satin and lace, although she goes through
the most unparalleled troubles in those gar
ments.
The double role of the hero renders the plot
rather complicated, but the costumes are gor
geous, and the situations most tragic. Fred
Butler, as the Bonapartist general, plays his
part, as usual, very well and Julia Blanc's
lime. Pique is cleverly rendered. The most
telling scene is where Babat is led out by a
squad of soldiers, but dies instead by his own
hand. ,
The May Queen.
Rright, unhackneyed music is one of the
chief attractions of "The May Queen" at the
Tivoli this week. The opera is well staged and
the members of the Tivoli stock company are
thoroughly suited to their various roles.
Gracie Plaisted is lively and spirited as
Denisette, the May Queen, and the music suits
her voice. In the scene with her grandmother
both she and Branson do good work. Some of
the choruses are particularly pretty and the
opera goes with plenty of vim.
The Orpheum,
A great hit was made at the Orpheum last
night by Amann, the impersonator, whose
face caricatures present the most remarkable
and lifelike likenesses to famous men.
Amann's changes are almost instantaneous.
He began by presenting himself as the con
tented and the discontented man; then he im
personated Bismarck, General Grant and a host
of other celebrities, his likenesses always being
instantly recognized and hailed with delight.
Mclntyreand Heath, the cxponpnts of plan
tation life, and the eccentric comeuians, Falke
and Semons, in a musical comedy act, also
made a good impression.
The Alcazar,
A sprightly performance of "The Corner
Grocery" was given last night at the Alcazar
Theater. Miss Anna Daly, a popular local re
citer, made quite a success as Jennie Burke
and Jessie Norton's impersonation of Jimmy
Nolan aroused plenty of mirth from a well
filled house. All the other parts were acted
with plenty of spirit and fun.
Th» Water Carnival.
The clever acrobatic performances of the
Rosaires won applause at the Water Carnival
last night, their comic boxing act being ex
ceedingly funny.
A part of the performance that is always
worth seeing is the filling of the tank, and as
for the bronze statues, many of them were
really artistic. The float of the fairies deserves
special mention.
Because of its much greater strength,
the Royal Baking Powder is more econom
ical than any similar leavening agent.
A Theatrical Suit.
Al Hayman & Co. have sued John F. Sullivan
for $800 for breach of contract. Hayman al
leges that he had contracted with Sullivan for
the J. K. Emmett Company to produce a play
at the California Theater in the week ending
June 16, 1895, Sullivan to receive 50 per cent
of the gross receipts of the first $4000 and 60
per cent of all amounts over that sum. The
date was subsequently changed from June 10
to May 13, 1895, the defendant agreeing not to
produce the play in any other theater in the
city. Hayman says that Suilivan did, how
ever, produce the play at Stockweli's Theater
on April 13, 1895, and that he (Hayman) was
unable to obtain any other attraction for his
theater in the meantime.
Excursion to Shasta.
Two nights in a Pullman drawinjr-room
sleeping car and a. day in the heart of Shasta's
rugged fastness is what those who will go on
the excursion to Mount Shasta and vicinity on
Saturday next will enjoy, in addition to the
magnificent scenery they will witness on the
trip. The excursionists will leave on Saturday
morning at 6 o'clock and return at 7 :15 on the
morning of Monday. The excursion is limited
to 150 persons aud the fare is $10 for the round
trip. Colonel William H. Menton, excursion
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, will
have charge of those who will take advantage
of this opportunity to make a grand and at the
same time inexpensive trip.
