A SOCIETY EVENT.
DR.. and Mrs. E. B. PERKINS, Brill
liant Ball at Pioneer Hall.
San Francisco's Four Hundred Pleasantly
Entertained En- Masse-Some Of the
Ladies' Elaborate Toilets.

Not since the Won Schroeder ball OF
last winter season has society been enter
tanned by private hospitality in puoi!c
hall, There are many advantages IN TINS
method of entertaining, although 1t Is natu-
rally not within the power of all Would-oe
hosts and hostesses. While exquisite toiiets
can he seen at their best, the main oehehI
eacnred TO the guests is perfect comfort anu
freedom from crushing-desIderata often
too little considered at fashionable receP-
tions. ,.;,,, %
the Pioneer Hall last evening was the happy
outcome of the impOssiblity of entertain
ing any reasonable number of their many
friends at their elegant residence on Clay
street.
The pretty hall was canvaSed through
out and deliberately decorated with palms.
Every care was taken to exclude draughls,
with appreciated result Nothing could
have been more effective as a frame to the
brilliantly animated picture presented by
the whirling partners than the dark, glossy
exotic foliage mixed in groups about the
hall, stage, gallery and vestibules The tall
palm trees We're largely employed, one i'm
mense Australian variety which stood in an
angle near the orchestra being much adj
mired. The banquet hall was also decorated
with palms in the same simple effective
way. Just the appropriate air of distinction
was impaired by the arrangement without
suggesting a tedious elaboration of detail.
DAZZLING THRONG.
1t is almost needless to say that San Fran
ciSco's -Four Hundred were fully repre-
septed, although recent sad events occa-
stoned some regretted absences. The
hostess was assisted in receiving her guests
by her mother, Mrs. John McMullin, and
Miss Adele Perrin, who returned only Il
few days ago from Washington, where she
visited her former schOOlmates, Miss Blaine
and Miss Window, and was the recipient
of marked social attentions. DR.. h Is. Per
rim genialIy seconded his wife and daughter
III welcoming the guests.
1t was a reception pure and simple. The

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.
A Confidence Operator On Coast
Steamers.

For some time past it has been known
that confidence operators and sure thing
gamblers have been travelling up and down
the coast on the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's line Of steamers for the purpose
OF entrapplng unwary passengers. MANY
Of them are known to the police on duty at
! e docks and to the officers of the different
steamers, and frequently their designs have
been frustrated.
They are watched very closely on the
steamers ana are not allowed TO play any of
their peculiar games on board but thew
make acquaintance and ingratiate tbenI-
selves into the confidence of passengers ana
so have better chance to fleece them ON
going ashore The confidence men always
nave pal or two to meet them at the wharf
when the boats dock and to them the
lsnckerS. as they are called, are painted
out or perhaps introduced.
One smooth operator has been working
the boats running from here to San Diego
for some time, and if the reports of his VIC
tins are true. he has made a considerable
amount OF money. He is gooI-lookinp.
Smooth-faced young fellow of the Jewish
persuasion, and passengers going on the
San Diego boats will do well to beware of
him. "a
His method of working is as follows. Ha
engages passage on the down steamer tn

passes himself off as minister, again as a
rich landowners son, and vet again he

to take the up or down boat.

AIdriob took the floor and stated that the
Democrats had at last thrown OIL an us
cuise and disclosed that they had declued 10
nravent any legislation unless their WisneS
in regard to certain measure were ac-
coded to.
Harris said if the Senate proceeded to the
consideration of the Appropriation Bill the
minority would consent.
Aldrich, at tie conclusion Of his remarks.
moved that the Senate proceed to the con-
sideration of the resolution to amend the
rules by the adoption Of the plan of closure.
point Of order was made on the Demo-
cratic side that the un finished business was
a motion to correct the journal Of Tues
days proceedings, and that as it involved
the status OF AldrchS resolution Il must
be first disposed OF.
The Vice-President indicated his desire
to hear argument on the point and the post
tons on each side We're stated by The various
! Senator'S.
Stewart argued strongly on the Demo-
! cratic side, and Sherman argued that al
though a motion to correct the journal was
! a privileged question II did mol necessarily
follow that it must be first considered. Any
other subject might he taken up IN prefer
| ence by majority vote.
Immediately, however, Harris called up
his point Of order made against the closure
| resolution Tuesday, that ii was not explicit
| enough to meet the rule.
The Nice-PTesidenl ruled against him, but
Harris took an appeal and was permitted to
| debate it.
The Vice President ruled that AldriCh's
| mOtiun to proceed with the closure rule was
in order, and oyerfuled Harris point OF
order.
Harris appealed. but the Chair was sus-
tanned. Senators NalcOtt and Stewart voted

! Grafton of his resolution Qhe closure) and

The Nlce-Pre,id ent submitted the question

was taken ON the motion to consider the

A GREAT R0BBER.
His Wife Is Now Suing for Divorce-Says
He Stole 100000.

His Wife Is Now Suing for Divorce-Says
He Stole 100000.
The wife OF Langdon W. Moore, notorious
burglar and safe-breaker, whom the latter
is suing for divorce for infidelity, to-day
moved by counsel in the Superior Court
that she be granted $50 per week alimony
and $3.50 for counsel fees, SAYS New York
dispatch TO the Pittsburg Press In her
| affidavit Mrs. Moore says that she is a
cripple and is entirely destitute; that
Moore is able-bodied, healthy and compe-
tent TO make living for both, but that he
has not made an honest living for great
many years.
Moore was released from the Massachu-
sets State Prison is September last, to
which institution he was sentenced for rob-
bling the CharlestoWn PuStoffice about ten
years. When he was released, Mrs Moore
says, he received S1l00 from the prison
authorities for overwork. She further says
that Moore is the owner of farm of six
teen acres at birmingham, Mass, which is
worth at least 5000.
Mrs Moore says that ut the time of her
marriage she had $4,000 left to her by
Dad Cunningham, her former husband, a
famous prize-fghtpr, fence and general
desperate on the Pacific Slope. who was sent
out of San Francisco by the Vigilance COM
mttee. She gave this $1,000 tn Moore, AMI
a short tune after she married him he was
arrested and taken to Buffalo for a bank
robbery. of which the prosecutors failed to
prove HIM guilty. Shortly afteIward the
Merchants Union eXpreSS-car was robbed
of 100000 in money and bonds near this
city, ana Mrs. Moore says that her husband
was concerned in the robbery. Mrs. Moore
SAYS that during her married life of twenty
four years Moore had spent about fifteen
years in prison.
In his affidavit Moore says that his wife
knew who he was when he married her, He
denies that she had $4,000 and says that the
story Of the Merchants Union eXpress-car
robbery is untrue. He says that he is utterly
destitute and dependent upon the charity OF
few friends who knew him in his youth.
He acknowledged that he acquired large
sums of money by robbery but says that the
money was recklessly squandered by him
and his wife.
