CALIFORNIA PIONEERS PICNIC
Two Thousand People Spend
the Day at Ell Campo.
The Old Folks Reel Starts the Amusements
Of the Day-A Delightful Trip
Across the Bay.

"Get aboard there, get aboard Why,
you young fellows are slower than an old
rocker" cried a. E. Phelps yesterday
morning, as he hustled the two thousand
and more eXcursionists aboard the Ukiah,
bound for the pioneers Admission day
picnic at Ell Campo.
Although the morning was foggy and
chill. the passengers could see the sunshine
on the hills across the bay, and the band ON
board played "Songs OF Spring time" as the
big boat swung out of the slip and started
on its journey.
The trip to the picnic grounds was a
pleasant one, despite the weather. The
Pioneers had left nothing undone that could
in any way add TO the comfort of their
guests. and they promised "a whole lot
more when we get there"
a the steamer neared AlcatraZ the band
was called to the bow OF the boat and a
man stationed at the flagstaff from which
the bear flag was flying.
When abreast the island the strains Of
'Y ankee Doodle" America" and THE
Star-Spangled Banner" floated up to the
boys in blue On the heights and brought
them out by scores.
Officers and men cheered the Ukiah, and
IN reply the ''colors" of the Pioneers were
dipred and answered from the fort.
At Fl Campo the weather was beautiful.
OF the Pioneers and the band, the excursion
lists were marched to the pavilion, where
the literary exercises took place.
President C.. v s. Gibbs of the Society of
California Pioneers made the address OF
welcome and at the close of his remarks
introduced Henry b. Russ, yice-president
of the society, as the chairman of the day.
Rev. John Grey then followed with
prayer, and after him John 5. Hittel read
the GRAFTON.
Music by the band followed. and DR..
Washington Aver closed the literary exer-
cises with the poem of the day.
Dinner was next in order. and until the
guests were seated at the table and served
they did not realize the excellence of the
arrangements made by the Pioneers.
Following the lunch came dancing, aud
the 'old folks reel" was first on the pro-
gramme
''Say. can we dance this2" said E. B.
Vreeland in a whisper to A. E. Phelps as
they stood lined up for the reel with j. /.
Spear, George Httel George Hallet II. Y.
Palmer and Stephen Otis.
Dance it?" replied Phelps, "well, we
win show some Of these Native Sons a
fancy step or two, you hear me-"
And away they went.
The reel was splendidly danced, but to
Mrs. S. f. Kelly, Mrs. II. Y. Palmer, Mrs.
Z. c. MARITIME, Mrs W. A. Brown. Mrs.
Harvey Thompson, Mrs. 4. B. Vreeland
and Miss Jennie Cherry the credit for the
success of the set" Is due.
Even the ''old boys" had to admit that 1t
was the women folks that pulled 'em
through.
''We forgot, don't you know" said Hittel
in an aside, 'but, by George. the women are
as spry as the girls"
Dancing followed until nearly shutdown.
when the boat brought the exeursionists
back to the city.
The Pioneers can congratulate them
selves on their outing.
1t was q success in every rpsppct

IN STRAITS.

The Chronicle, being somewhat incensed
at THE CALL on account of disclosure
made by this journal of the crooked
methods by which aspirant De Young
hopes to become candidate for the Senate.
has sought to get even by quoting from the
Stock Report 1t Is hardly to be expected
that the old Buckley organ should approve
the course Of THE CALL. 1t was chiefly
through the influence OF TIE CALL and
Bulletin that the Report is about to be de-
priyed of official advertising which has kept
the sheet alive for the past three or four
years. As the exactions Of the Report in
the way Of charges for advertising street
work have made 1t extremely unpopular,
nothing but death lies before II, and it nor
unnaturally turns upon The CALL and
Bulletin. The Chronicle gratefully copies
its dying words and possibly pays for them
at the rate of cents line, which is above
the Reports usual rates.

SIGNIFICANT.

An interior journal cautions some Of our
contemporaries against advertising The
CALL so much by attacking it, The attacks
to which reference is made are not of much
benefit, because they do not go into the
houses of many persons, else we should be
grateful for them. The only advertising
medium which benefits THE CALL is its
own circulation. People see it and Sub
scribe for it for the good it is doing THE
CALL can assure the public that the city
and State is alive to the abuses which they
wish to correct. else The CALL would not
increase in circulation as rapidly as it is
now doing.

RAILROAD FEARS.

An editorial article recently appeared in
the Record Union, the par excellence rail-
road journal, in which an effort was made
to prove that California has been injured
- jealousies between different sections Of
the State. This is a curious plea for the
railroad organ to make, because the paper
has been particularly active in that direc-
ton by striving to array one portion of the
State against the other. Has not the Record
Union said over and over again that the
inhabitants of San Francisco were opposed
TO the best interests Of the interior OF CALI
fornia? Indeed. the object with the paper
has been manifestly TO divide the different

qualified as voter as long ago as 1870, and
voted for President Harrison's grandfather.
1t may safely be predicted that the grand
son will get his vote this year. The veteran
Colonel Stevenson is just one year younger.

killing Orchard Pests.

Some time ago the electrical papers
described q device which was success
fully used In park at Munich, Bava-
ria, for the destruction Of insects. The
insects were attracted by powerful
electric protector, and then drawn down
by an exhaust fan to kind of grinding
mill, and after being crushed In which
they were mixed with -four and water,
baked and used for feeding poultry. Pos
sibly melted by the success Of this ar
rangement. a Washington farmer pro-
poses to wage electric war on the insects
that nightly play havoc with the fruit
trees In his orchard.
I His plan is to have powerful lamps
put in at an elevation of few feet above
the tops Of his apple trees. Each lamp
or burner Is to be surmounted by q st. j,
wire screen, umbrella shaped, each al
ternate wire being charged and the other
grounded. When the light is turned on
in the evening it will attract the swarrns
OF winged insects, which will dash
against the electrically charged screen
and be instantly destroyed. The farmer
says be can dispense with the elaborate
process adopted In Munich for the prep
aration Of food for the fowls, as every
member of his poultry yard will be-
promptly on hand next morning and
will help himself Pittsburg Dispatch.
