THE INAUGURAL BALL
Farther Arrangements Completed by the
Executive Committee

Further Arrangements Completed by the
Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee of the Citizens
Inaugural Ball Committee held an ad-
journed meeting at the Golden Eagle Hotel
lost evening, Chairman Stefens presiding.
W. D. Knights acted as Secretary. The
Chair announced that subscription lists
had been sent to San Francisco, Los ADge-
les and other places, and that assurances
had been received of liberal attendance
from abroad.
]. O. Coleman moved that the first sub
scripdons received shall be those of the
eighteen members Of the Executive Com
mittee. The motion was carried, and
those present signed the subscription list
and paid their money.
The question was then brought up as to
what privileges would attach to each ticket
in the way of admissions, and discussed at
some length.
Mr.. Coleman suggested that each ticket
should admit one gentleman and lady,
with 81 for each additional lady.
W. S. Leake thought there should be no
extra charge for gentleman taking two
ladies. Ten dollars was q good round
price for ticket, and many gentlemen of
moderate means would feel it hardship
to have to pay extra for more than one
lady.
81. Weinstock submitted some estimates
showing that the $50 complimentary tick
cts issued would entail an actual expense
to the committee, for supper alone, of
about 5000, which must be covered by the
small margin allowed for profit on $40
ticket admitting two persons. He thought
that each additional lady should have a
ticket costing 81 so to cover the estimated
expense eff supper for one person.
The matter was discussed at some length
BY F. D. Ryan, W. S. Leake, F. F. Tebbets,
William Beckman, ]. w. Wilson, Fred.
Cox, E. R. Hamilton, J. W. Hughes, DR.. G.
L. Simmons and others.
Mr.. Coleman finally moved that the
tickets be printed, Gentleman and lady"
Mr.. Tebbets moved to amend by having
the ticket read, Gentleman and two
ladies"
After some debate the amendment was
withdrawn, and the original motion was
carried.
Mr.. Weinstock then moved that extra
tickets for ladies be fixed at g so.
Mr.. Ryan moved to amend by limiting
the issuance of such tickets to gentlemen
purchasing $40 tickets.
Mr.. Coleman, from the Printing Commit
tee, said the latter was not ready to report,
OWING 70 u tuS uuu-aLlifaA VI sa4ples u

On motion Of Mr.. Leake, the Printing
Com mittee was empowered TO proceed with
the printing of the invitations, etc.
Chairman Tebbets produced 8 large list
of names of persons in San Francisco, Los
Angeles and other places, which twas de-
cided to submit to the Invitation Commit
tee.
On motion of Mr.. Ryan, the Chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Ryan, Coleman. Leake and
Hubbard as sub committee to assist the
Mayor in selecting an Invitation Commit
tee to consist of forty persons.
The Secretary read proposals from the
orchestral leaders, the cost of all of which
would be S34S.
Colonel Hamilton thought it would be
advisable to have one orchestra play con-
cert music in the rotunda between the

Mrs. Baexertz, Meetings.

Mrs. Baeyertz gave her beautiful and de-
scriptiye address on the Jewish Passover.
Although the evening was lowering and
threatening, the main audience room was
filed. Each nights address seems better
than the preceding oae, and last night was
no exception.
In an interesting way she told of the
way the Israelites of old kept the Pass.
over; how to-day the strict Jews keep it,
and then proclaimed the atonement of
Christ as the Christians paschal sacrifice.
Tonight she breaches on the second
coming of Christ, and the return of the
Jews to. Palestine. Crowded houses have
listened to it in Australia.
Mrs. Baeyertz will speak here but twice
more-this evening and on Friday evening.

They Promised to be Good.

peared in the dock for sentence yesterday.
The mothers were also present. Judge
Buckley reviewed the case and stated that
the boys deserved to be severely punished.
He disliked, however, to send persons so
young to prison, and had decided to give
the defendants another chance to reform.
To send them to Jail would bring disgrace
to their parents, all of whom were respect
able people, and their associates in prison
would tend to do them more harm than
good.
Each of the boys promised to correct his
habits end in future obey his parents, and
they were all allowed TO go.
