STATE FAIR.
The Great Exposition Now Fairly
Under Way.
Additional Special Features-Good Re-
ceipts for the First Day-To-
Days Racing Events.

Yesterday was the opening day of the
State Fair, and very auspicious opening
it was. True, there was nothing to attract
visitors TO the Park, nor indeed to the
Pavilion, as the events in the former
place We're not to be inaugurated until
to-day and the displays in the exposition
building are not yet complete.
However, the society took in little
money yesterday, and as the first days
receipts are always regarded as q fair in
dication of those to follow, the Board of
Directors were last night feeling very
happy over the prospects Of prosperous
fair
Yesterdays receipts amounted to 81 $50,
as against 81 ,O40 for the first day last
year.
The Pavilion opened last evening at the
appointed hour, and quite number of
visitors were present for first night.
They were treated to some very choice
music by the First Artillery Band Qed by
&. A Neale), interspersed with grand cor
net solos by Signor Liberati, the cele-
brated musician of Boston, who came to
California expressly for the purpose of
appearing at the State Fair.
In response to an encore he gave the
Suwanee River" which charmed all that
heard it. One has but TO get within the
scope Of his instrument TO realize that
Liberatiis the master of the cornet.
To-NIGHT's MUSIC.
The programme for this evening will
be as follows:

SKELETON KEYS.
Arrest OF Man Who Carried a Num-

Arrest OF a Man Who Carried a Num-
ber OF Them.
Special officer L. B. Isham made an
important arrest early yesterday morn
ing. While patroling his beat he noticed
tough looking character trying to open
a door in the Scroggs building on Tenth
and K streets. He was about to approach
the man when the latter walked away
rapidly and turned down X street. Isham
followed and soon caught up with him.
Upon inquiring for lodging house
Isham directed him to hotel short dis
tance down the street and there he and
officer Gibson arrested the man. The
suspected individual had been holding a
skeleton key in his hand and when the
officers started in To search him he en-
deavored to drop it on the carpet so that
no noise would be made when it struck
the floor. In the fall, however, it struck
a stone surface and the officers discovered
it.
The prisoner was searched at the police
station and the articles found on his per
son indicate that his business is that OF n
burglar. He had in his possession a
dozen or more skeleton KEYS of the best
patterns. Several Of them bore eviden-
ceS of recent filing and one or two were
badly twisted.
The man gave the name of John john
son. He will be kept in Jail for few
days.

SONG LEE PAINTS,
Il Suits Him, and the World Must Make
the Rest of


Song Lee keeps a wash house on
Larkin street. between Ellis and Eddy,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. 1t
Is quite pretentious two-story frame
structure, with a peaked shingle roof.
It's owner conceived the idea recently
OF adding to its attractiveness by sun
dry exterior coats Of high-hued paints.
So now the thing is perpetual
nightmare TO all the neighbors and
passers-by who see it for the first time
They are startled almost into breath
'essness and seized with queer optical
illusions and visions of awful phantas-
les that haunt the brain until the dust
feet.
The painter tried to make the roof
white, but the dirty shingles have de-
lied his skill. With persistency
born of dust and SCOT they still show
through the white paint in occasional
lark patches.
Only man with the nightmare
could have painted the front. The
background is a dark, rich green.
The door and window frames are yell
low, trimmed with red, The blinds
are blue the cornice pink, the window
sills black and the door-steps cream
co!ored. Other pigments abound in
profusion, but even the artist who
compounded them is unable to call the
wondrous colOrs by name.
Tho rainbow is simply not in it when
compared to the front of Song Lees
Hash-house.
But that is not all. There is side
view yet to be described. Every i'm
aginable shade and tint that brain
suffering from the effects of plum
pudding or mincc pie supper might
produce has here been laid on the
weather boards in stripes. The effect
is simply maddening,
Seen for the first time a shock like
thousand volts of electricity comes
over one, and color blindness ensues
at once. Some of the neighbors COM
plain that the colors arc so loud as to
disturb their slumbers at night.
Song Lee is not unconscious Of the
attention his wash house has excited
in the neighborhood. He comes out
takes glance at the awful thing, and
then goes back smiling.

OF over 500 miles. In 1897 the crater

We have already published a sim

reference TO the prices OF sheetings
and sbirtIngs. These tables afford
material for profitable study and re-
Election. Whatever reasons may be
assigned for the changes which have
taken place in the prices OF these IA

and editors so faras the prices Of these

totally groundless and misleading.
