STANFORD'S RECEPTION.
Hundreds of Visitors Call to Pay
Their Respects.

Senator Stanford's handsome residence on
California street was thrown open yester-
day afternoon to the public in order that his
many friends might find an opportunity to
extend a farewell to him and Mrs Stanford
before their departure for Washington on
Tuesday next
Great clusters of chrysanthemums of vari-
Gus hues were used in decorating the hand
some drawing-salons, the Pompeiian recep-
tion-room, the library, the billiard and sitting
rooms ard the art gallery. Amid the many
handsom works of art chains of smilaX
were linked in profusion and depended
of the late Leland Stanford Jr., which re-
poses upon an easel opposite that of the
Senator by Meissonier.
The dining salon had been decorated
handsomely, and on the table where refresh
ments were served stood a huge jar of
chrySanthemums, while from the rich carv-
ings on the sideboard were suspended ham,
mocks composed of ribbons of blossoms and
sage green, and Overlooking with chrySan-
themums of every shade.
Mrs. Stanford received in Worth robe Of
black silk velvet, finished in front with a
fiounce of rare French lace, beaded with
bands of ostrich feathers. Her gloves were
of lavender kid, and her throat was encircled
with necklace of pearls. In receiving her
guests she was assisted by the Senator, her
sister, MIS-. David HeWes, and by Mrs.
Timothy Hopkins, Miss Flora Low, Miss
McKinstry. Miss Houghton and Miss Kohl
Of San Mateo.

ROLLER-SKATING.
Ludicrous Scenes Nightly at the
Pavilion.

There is considerable amusement to be
found at the Pavilion nowadays, especially
for young people and for elderly individ uas
who have not forgotten how to indulge in a
hearty laugh. The entertainment is fur
nished by the roller-skaters.
They sweep around the hall like mighty
river and the roar of the wheels is similar to
the noise of mountain torrent. An amateur
in the crowd loses his equilibrium and shoots
forward like a saw-iog eaping catarac t.
His prostrate form causes an eddy in the
rushing stream, and the high and lofty
tulnbling is rib-tickling to the audience,
although not so ludicrous to the tumblers.
Preceding the fall of skater is a noise
similar to the cracking Of the bole of q
forest giant as its sides are pierced to the
heart by the axmen, and when the body
strikes the floor the echo is proport onately
great to that which follows the prostration
of the feied tree. The assembly never tires
of enjoying these scenes.
The skater who feels that there is more
lightning to the square inch in his heels than
ever cracked a meteor in its flight through
81 ace wears a funny look upon his face as
he feels his way along the floor. His back
bone becomes as limp as paper co lar on a
patient in Turkish bath, and his knees
angle like MeSsiah-crazed redskin on a
war cayuse. His feet are not in it, as it
were, and his head hobs around like that of
green turtle lodging an alligator. His
efforts at balancing are all in vain. Down
he goes and adds another sore spot TO his
anatomy.
There are many, though. who gracefully
skim over the TO or and toss their heads in
the pride of their confidence. The sterner
sex, however, cannot claim the right to
membership in this class of skaters, for the
ladies are entitled to the privilege Of smil-
ing derlslvely at the elephantine movements
OF their male companions. The absence of
the ladies would rob the scene of graceful
ness, and convert it into a pantomine that
would intoXcate any crowd with laughter
1t is true that all the ladies are not grace
ful, FOR some OF them are strangers to the
science of maintaining their balance on the
rollers. Their self-sacrificing partners in
yariab!y evidence a fear Of being sky
rocketed at any moment and go down to
their fate with heroism only to be ac-
quired through the medium Of the commands
of the fair sex.
Then there are skaters who essay TO
travel backward, but portly man never
ventures so daring an exhibition of his
skill; his sympathy with his watch-chain
supporter is too great to allow, him to ven
ture his weight upon his toes. He ranks
among the wise men OF the day, for the fall
OF fat man introduces reckless joyous
ness into sight-seers that wrecks dignity for
q week.
The increasing attendance at the Pavilion
is a sure sign that the revival of roller
skating will be welcomed during the winter.
One of the pretty sights at the rink is the
little ones who engage in the healthful ex-
erciSe morning and afternoon.

The KINGS DAUGHTERS.
A Convention to Be Held to Organize

Convention to Be Held to Organize a
California Chapter.
Mrs. Annette p. Clark, State Secretary
for the Order of Kings Daughters, and Mrs.

1st, from 10 o'clock In the morning until
O'Clock in the afternoon, during which time

California chapter, confederating the Cali
fornia circles of Kings Daughters in order
that they may be facilitated in carrying for
the Home for 1ncurables, an institution the
need of which is much felt.
1t Is intended during the session of the
convention to adopt set of bylaws to
govern the State Association. At the same
time an election of proper officers will De
held and the necessary committees will be
appointed. The necessary plans for carry
ing out the designs of the organization are
prepared and will be submitted, which tits
thought are OF such nature that no back
ward steps need ever be taken, and care
will be taken that no mistakes will be made
in the outset which will leave cause for re-
greet III the future. The scheme of the organ
lZailon is grand and mighty work, but it is
believed that the Kings Daughters are
equal to the occasion. 1t Is requested that
the executive officers of all circles will call
special meetings at once in order that they
may appoint suitable delegates, who shall
have full power to represent their respec-
tive circles in the convention to be held.

time, but a few moments later, desiring to
know the time, Thompson felt for his
watch, and then discovered that it and the
quarter part of his gold chain were missing.

and succeeded in making away with it. De-

Care of The Hair.

may be kept closely cut. so that it will

After their hair has been allowed TO
grow long. it should not be cut .accord-
ing to good authority. as it will never
afterwards attain the length it would
have reached; yet many mother
thoughtlessly allows the hair of her
little daughter To lie short in order to
save trouble in properly caring for it.
In the case of children. even more
especially than the adults. frequent
and thorough brushing of the hair Is
essential to its best condition. The
brush should not be too harsh. and
should be judiciously used. Under
these conditions child will delight in
the proper care rather than be re-

gentle dizziness in the manipulation OF

A Temple of Serpents.

The small town Of Werda. in the
Kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated
for its Temple of Serpents, n long build
ing in which the priests keep upwards
of 1000 scrpents of all sizes, which
they feed with birds and frogs brought
to them as offerings by the natives.
These serpents. many of them of enor-
nous size, may be seen hanging from tho
beams across the ceiling. with their
heads hanging downward and in all
sorts of strange contortions. 1t often
happens that some of these serpents
make their way out of the temple into
the town, and the priests have great
difficulty in coaxing them back. To
kill II serpent Intentionally is a crime
punishable by death. aud il a European
were to kill one the authority of the
King would scarcely suffice to save
him. Many of the monsters in the
Serpent Temple" are large enough to
enfold large OK w their coils.
