How to Dress the Neck.

The dressing of the neck has much to do
with a woman's good looks. If she has
cords and bones below her chin she is
crude to bare herself. What she needs is

Of fur, flowers or fringe, or collar as near
her ear-holes as it can be fitted, The
lines which age first draws around the
throat can always be concealed by vel

appliqued--beads,m medallionS, miniatures.

Tonight at the Clunie Opera House
Hoyt's new comedy, "A Texas Steer,''

1T is not, however, of the order of his
grotesque iarces, but is comedy depend

the play and do not indulge in any
doubling concerning its strongly drawn
pictures of the underside of political life

strong one, and amongst its members is y
Sacramento favoritc, Flora Walsh. Sew

How the Visiting knights Were Enter
tained Last Evening.
The banquet given in the Assembly
Chamber last night in honor Of the Grand
Lodge and all visiting members was a
very pleasant affair, Something like
four hundred persons sat down to a
splendid supper spread upon seven large
tables, completely filling the large cham
Der.
Noack's Orchestra occupied platform
erected over the Clerks desk, and dis
coursed pleasant airs while the supper
was in progress, also following each of
the regular toast Of the evening.
Major II. Weinstock had been selected
by the local committee to act as Toast
master, position which he filed with
dignity and ability. Preceding the an
nouncing of each sentiment he made neat
and timely remarks, and was frequently
applauded.
G. b. Katzenstein first made happy
speech of welcome, in which lie spoke of
the fraternal societies of the present day
as important adiuncts to religion. Among
these organizations that of the Knights
of Pythias stood prominent. He took
pleasure in supplementing the welcome
rendered by Mayor COmstock at the OPEN
ing of the session of the Grand Lodge
able to feel that the visiting members of
the order had been Hospitality enter
tanned by the citizens of the city during
their stay, and he believed the present
session would prove a red-letter daY in
the history of the order.
The first regular toast was "Our
Guests" and Junior Past Grand Chan
cellor Crowley was called upon to re-
spond.
Mr., Crowley. expressed regret that
Grand Chancellor Swinnerton was not
present to respond to the toast i'll person,
and read letter from that gentleman in
lieu of remarks that he would have made
If present. The speaker paid hand
some compliment TO the city of Sacra-
mento and its people, whose hospitality
ne said, was only equaled by the capacity
of her present guests to receive.
Chairman Weinstock announced the
next toast as, "Our Supreme Lodge"
which was responded to by representative
Blackmer of San Diego, who also spoke
warmly of the generous manner in which
the visiting members had been received
and treated by the knights and other
good people of Sacramento. After some
humorous remarks he addressed himself
TO the subject of the toast, on which he
spoke at some length.
Other sentiments were offered and re-
spOnded 10 as follows:
subordinate Lodges''-Mr. Schuler of
Chico.
1.-THE Uniformed Rank''-Brigadier-
General Schatlner.
'Pythian Laws"-S. L. Carter of Stock

occasion, and elected long-continued ap-

Among the features of the evening was a
comic recitation by Abe Wilson of this
city, entitled, Go way! Becky Miller !!

AT THE ART GALLERY.
Yesterday the members of the Grand
Lodge and other visiting knights went in
3 body, some 300 strong, to the Crocker
Art Gallery, under an invitation from the
Directors ofthe Museum Association.
The visitors inspected the paintings,
sculpture, museum curiosities and the
work of the pupils of the School of De-
sign, with all of which they were greatly
pleased. They held a meeting before
leaving the building and returned q
unanimous vote of thanks to the Direct
Ors of the association for having afforded
them such treat.
Why" remarked one of the knights
TO RECORD-UNION reporter yesterday,
Il had no idea that Sacramento-or any
other city in the State, for that matter
possessed such magnificent gallery OF
art as that which we witnessed to-day.
And they tell me that this valuable
building, with its wealth of rare paint
ingS and other works of art was a gift to
your city from Mrs. T., B. Crocker.
Why, such munificence is so rare as to
almost cause one to doubt the truth oi
such statement. However, Sacramento
has something of which she may be
proud, aside from the distinction of being
the home Of a lady with such generosity
and public spirit Our members have
seen more to-day than they ever saw be-
fore, and more than the majority of them
Will ever see again.

Captain Greenwood of Napa, husband
of the woman who was so cruelty MUIR
dered recently, and who was shot and
left for dead himself, was in town last
week. His business here was to inden-
tify a pair of pants which Constable Dyer
had found in a cabin in Nevada County,
The pants were apparently new, and
were spattered in two or three places
with blood. 1t is supposed that the muir
derers went through this way, and fear
ing that the pants might hinder their es-
cape, they broke in the cabin and changed
them in order TO avoid detection and
make their disguise more perfect. Cap
tain Greenwood recognized the pants as

Of his hearers was wherein he treated of
his visit to the mountains of Bavaria on
the occasion of the celebration of the
Passion of Christ at Oberammergau, in
which the villagers to the number of
400 take part. This play, said the
reverend gentlemen, originated 400 years
ago, when the little town was sorely
stricken with plague, and the inhabit-
ants then made religious VOW, or
promise, that if their homes and families
were thereafter spared from the dread
visitation, they would, every ten years,
enact the play f'The Passion" as an offer
ing of gratitude for the blessing. 1t is the
occasion of a pilgrimage OF all kinds
and classes of people from the four quar-
ters of the earth, who are guided thither
by the fame of the

it is an invariable fact that on the occasion
of this play the weather is wet. and on

several days each ten years, and has now

and his hearers regretted that he did not
speak at greater length. The applause
that followed showed the delight and
