MISS LAKES SCHOOL.
The Usual Excellent Programme
Diplomas Awarded.

The large and handsomely deco rated
double classroom at Miss Lakes school,
corner Suffer and 0ctavia streets, was
crowded last night with the friends and
guests Of the institution, and many unable
to obtain admission flied the corridors and
staircase.
The commensurate exercises of the school
have invariably been intere sting and attrac-
tive on previous occasions, and the pro-
gramme last night fully sustained the repu-
tatiOn already acquired. The string quar-
tet-piauO, violin, mandolin ana guitar
was well received, as were also the essays of
Miss SchweitZer and Miss Baird. The tab
leau studied by three singularly pretty
young ladies were highly appreciated, and
the duet by Miss Winters and Miss Wood
bury, as we'll as the piano solo by
Miss Braupschweiger, were also literally
applauded. The vocal duet by the Misses
Lakenan was very we'll rendered, and when
Miss Dudley sang my Heart is Like a
Singing Bird" she was rapturously encored.
A cleverly composed valedictory by Miss
Steinhart concluded the programme, after
which the diplomas were presented to the
following graduates comprising the class of
'91: Mary Frances Dudley, Laura Cash
wiler, Eleanor Belle Gross, Belle Hall, Car
RE Jacobs, Clara Joseph, Helen Schwetzer,

Of the Hall of Science.

being tastefully decorated with flowers, in

the history of the seminary, and in the fifth
of the college.

REGARDING BASEBALL.
What Is Being Done in Local
Circles-Game To-Day.

Surface indications show but little going
on in baseball circles at present. The
Colonel is still stripping lodges In the hope
of striking pay dirt, but has not succeeded
in tapping lead to date. In the.meantime
his team. continues to display that same alb
sorhing passion for ignominious defeat that
it obtained earlier In the season.
The young man who plays second base
for Sacramento has officially announced his
intention of going to st. Paul for the rest
of the season. Ward is a frst-rater and his
place will be hard to fill He was one of the
mainstays of the pennant-winners in the
Pacific Northwest League last year, besides
being brilliant conversationalist, who Will
cheerfnily answer all questions propounded
by the umpire.
Joe Langendorffer, the multi-milllonaire
who holds the peanut franchise in the Cali
fornia League, is on the eve of gigantic
stroke OF diplomacy that will entite him to
rank with the Nap0leons of finance. What
he proposes to do is TO instruct his agents
10 hand each patron of the game a hot pea
nut on the first round. This will arouse the
dormant appetite for COOLERS that slumbers
in the system OF the American citizen and
cause him TO break loose from nickel in
order to crafty that appetite.
IL is to be hoped that MT. Langendorffer
Will meet with success in his new venture
as he has been public benefaetor in more
ways than one. During the few short years
he has been at the head of the Haight-street
peanut emporium several yawning gaps in
the earth near the park have been filled
with vacant shells swept mp from the grand
stand and bleaehers, and the former haunts
of the billy goat are now marked with many
a stately mansion that rearS its lofty turrets
from foundation of peanut shucks.
Baseball magnates are talking of forming
Coast league for next season. 1t will
comprise the Northwest and California
leagues, and its object is to supply the en-
tire West with base ball in quantities to
suit. Tue project Is feasible one, and the
majority OF the clubs are in favor of it.
During the earlier part of the season the
Northwest fellows could open here and play
until the end of the rainy season up north,
returning home in time for the wet season,
which Immediately follows. The only OBJ
lection that could be offered against the
scheme is the abnormally large jump be-
tween Puget Sound and California points.
But this is nothing compared to the side
leaps the Oakland Club will have to make
ii it expects TO be anywhere near the vortex
OF the baseball whirlpool at the end of the
season.
This afternoon at o'clock the FriscOs
and Sacrament0s open the series at the
Haight-street Grounds. Pete Sommers will
positively pitch for the locals. He is in ex-
cellent trim, and his hacker, Harris, ex-
poets great things of him. Following is the
makeup of the teams

theme, Mature as Viewed by Poet and
Scientist, explaining that man studies the
material forms of nature for the purpose of
better understanding the physical laws
which govern it. Miss Norton concluded
by predicting that the great scientific ac-
tivity of the era will prove the forerunner
of a brilliant day in literature.
WOMAN IN JOURNALISM.
Miss Margaret c. Henderson of San Fran
cisco discussed journalism as a Profession
for W omen" concluding that newspaper
work. except in its purely literary depart
ments. is not proper sphere for her sex.
Miss Henderson maintained that on account
of a general lack of adaptabllity, c0neiSeness
and willingness 10 learn from failure. as
also because OF a lack Of business qualities,
women are untitled to attain high place In
modern journalism.
Miss Flora B. Howard of MurDhys re-
viewed the Eastern Question" which she
defined as the nndying fead between the
barbarisnI of the East and the civilization
of the West. Over and ever again have

tory, in every place of development and
among successive races, and the end is not
yet.
Miss Addie Mahan of San Francisco read
a clever essay On "The Algebra of Life"
defining life as one vast problem, compris-
ing many lesser ones, difficult and complex,
because involving so many unknown guam
titles. The young lady considered that
business should be transacted on the posi-
tive side OF the series, since honesty calls

Art Offerings.

An opportunity will be offered people of
esthetic tastes to decorate their houses, by
attending the art sale which will take place
at the salesrooms of Davis, Haber & Co.,
211 Pine street, tomorrow, at II o'clock.
The collection which will be offered consists
of statuary pedestals in Bardiglo marble ;
exguisitely chiseled figures, representing,
among other eoneeits, the Beggar Boy"
Venus Rising from the Sea, The Bold
lighters. Roman Students Is The Three
Groups" g Woman of Taxa" Dancing
Girls" The Greek Slave" and other speei-
mems of hand-earved marble work. These
sales are a popular yearly feature in the
East, where they are literally patroniZed by
people of cultivated tastes, and as many San
franeiseans have both taste and money,
there is no reason why the offerings of such
collections should not be as popular feat
ure here as elsewhere.
