NORMAL SCHOOL ALUMNI.
They Enjoy Their Annual Banquet Last
Night.

They Enjoy Their Annual Banquet Last
Night.
The Normal school alumni held their
annual reception and banquet last night
at the Hollenbeck cafe. There were
over 100 young lady and gentlemen
members of the organization present,
including the board of trustees, and the
event was aignalized by complete sue
cess. The affair OF this year was in
realty intended more in honor of the
presence of Professor More. the retiring
principal of the school, than for any
other event.
The party assembled in the parlors of
the Holenbeck hotel where an informal
reception and general reunion was held.
Shortly after 8 o'clock they proceeded
to the cafe where Caterer Aull had pre-
pared extended courses of good things.
Mr.. Louis Thorpe acted as toastmaster.
About ii o'clock hearoee and announced
that the speaking was in order.
A pleasant feature OF the speech
making was the toasting to Prof More,
three being given-one by Prof. Melville
Dozier on behalf of the faculty, another
by Miss Mary Foy upon the part OF the
alumni, and one by Mr.. I. p. Lukens OF
Pasadena, on behalf of the board Of
trustees.
Prof. More responded in feeling terms.
Miss Hawks, preceptresa of the Normal
high school, then toasted Prof. Pierce
late principal OF Chico, now incoming
principal of the Normal school.
Prof Pierce responded.
Mr.. 3. H. Donnell of 1913 responded
to the toast. Our Future.
An orchestra WAS in attendance.

THE SIMPSON EXCURSION.

Rubio Canon Invaded by Happy
Picnic Crowd.
Four extra coaches left the Terminal
dept at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning car
ryiug 200 representatives of the Simpson
M. E. church, distined for an expedition
into the heart of the Sierra Madrs
mountains. In due time they had ira
yersed the orange groves OF Pasadena
and reached the new and picturesque
station at Altsdena junction. Thence
trolly cars conveyed them over the
foothill mesa to Rubio csfion and through
the winding labarynths of that lovely
retreat until they were landed at the
beautiful pavilion built across the gorge
from granite wall to granite wall,
and where connection is formed
with the great cable incline
OF the Nit. Lowe railway
Here ample lunch baskets were divest-
ed OF their conteDts and appetites made
sharp by the stimulating mountain air
did iull Justice to the occasion. Moving
about among the eager throng was the
dgDitied form OF Prof. Lowe, the pro-
iector Of the mountain railroad, and the
one who set all these multiform forces
at work and made it possible for the
people to enjoy these beautiful scenes.
Daring lunch, which was washed
down by pure cold mountain water, an
nouncement was made that Rubio
canon exteuds much further into the
mouutains than the pavilion where
they were resting, and they were i'm
vited to penetrate into its mysteries,
So procession was formed of youths
and maldens, with eprnkling of elder
ly people, who wended their way over
the graded walks along the
mountain side and across the
singing brook till they reached
marrow gorges between vertical walls of
granite, where they met with airy but
substantial bridges. and numerous stair
ways climbing the more inaccessible
declivities, with here and there plat
form projecting out into mid air, FORM
ing a vantage ground from which to
view some striking and beautiful effect
haigHs foGe,s nyi4fp pfaHtpG9gg q SsaaSe!, oqyalE-

at last after climbing nearly 800 stairs
and crossing numerous bridges, they
arrived at the objective point of their
journey, where the stream tumbles in
two grand leaps over cliff 200 feet
above, breaking in rainbow spray upon
the rocks beneath.
Exclamstions of wonder, delight and
admiration were heard on every hand.
"How beautiful those feathery ferns -
Chow grand this rocky gorge % ''How
majestic that beetling cliffe!" 'See the
gnarled roots OF yonder tree clinging to
the mountain side % "Behold that ex-
quisite sheet of water gliding over those
moHsy rocks % and SO on ad in6nitum.
Among the persons noticed in the af-
ternoon were Prof. T. s. @. Lowe, T. d.
Stimson, T. w. Brotherton. DR.. Hilton
Williams, Prof. George r. Grow, and
many others, who made trips to the
highest accessible point in the csfion.
This excursion was given to accom-
modate the Simpson church Sunday
school, and was not the formal opening
OF the road. That event will occur next
week after due announcement.

THERE WERE TWO BOB STEWARDS
And the Result Was a Mixed
Real Estate Case.
Judge Shaw Gives an Opinion ON a
Demurrer Yesterday.
In Consequence OF the Wrong Man Being
on the Deed a Monkey and
aParrot Time Re-
suited.

In the case OF William G. Bradshav
va. William Pridham Judge Shaw yes
terdsy filed an opinion overruling the
demurrer to the amended complaint.
This WAS the case where two mer
named Robert Stewart. one white and
the other colored, became very much
mixed as to identity. owing to certain
real estate transactions. BY mistake
the wrong Bob Stewart was included in
deed, and afterwards the property
changed hands several times, 80 that
the plaintiff and defendant and the
various parties interested have had a
monkey and parrot time to get things
straightened out.
In overriding the demurrer to the
original complaint, some days ago, the
court decided that the facts set forth
were sufficient to make case OF mu-
tual mistake of fact.
Upon this demurrer to the amended
complaint the defendant insists with
greater emphasis upon the proposition
that where land is conveyed without
covenants Of title, and the title fails, or
it turns out by reason of some fact as to
which both parties were mistaken that
the vendor had no title, the vendee can
not, in the absence Of fraud on the part
of the vendor, recover the price paid,
that the mistake alone is not sufficient
as O ground for such recovery.
The court says that the complaint was
evidently intended as bill in equity to
declare and enforce trust.
The defendant in the case gained 500
from the plaintiff by reason of the
mutual mistake of both parties in re-
gard to the identity OF the person who
conveyed the lot in question to Grady,
under whom the defendant derived title.
He was not the real owner, but another
person with the same name. The deed
was in effect a forgery. 1t was true, the
court says, that the parties did not have
conscious belief that he was the real
owner, for it did not appear that the
thought of him was at the time present
in their mindH.
But they were both pnconsciously
ignorant of the fact that Stewart was not
the real owner, and OF the fact that the
deed under which the defendant ap-
peered to bold the title was forgery,
and this, as the court stated in former
opinion in the case, was mistake ex-
actly as material as ii they had discussed
the question and both expressly stated
that they believed he was the real
owner.
If the plaintiff had received anything
under the contract it would OF course be
necessary for him to return it, or offer to
return it, as condition to maintaining
the action. But he received nothing.
If possession had been delivered he
would have to surrenderit to his vendor,
unless he had been evicted by the para
mount owner. But he did not receive
the possession. The possession has all
the time rested in the real owner, and
before the action WAS begun the owner
occupancy OF the lot. Where nothing is
resolved, or where the thing received
has no value, the court holds it is not
necessary to return it. The demurrer to
the amended complaint is ordered over
ruled. .xs

McKINLEY's admirers will be apt to
keep tin-plate out o. the campaign dis
cussion in Ohio this fall. The fact that
tin-plate importations have almost
reached their normal standard before
the farce in the last presidential cam
paign, remsnds that topic to the back
numbers OF political issues. After Mr..
Niedringhaus and the other conspirators
in the trust had laid in their tremendous
stocks OF tin-plate to take advantage OF
the increased duty under the Mckinley
law, there Was naturally a heavy de-
crease Ia ,tin-plste importations. In
fact, they ceased altogether. The COM
bnation had the homo market cornered,
and as it's stocks were large they sup
piled that market for long time.
During the last campaign it was the
Republican boast wherever new
"tin-plate factory" was dedicated
that there was no foreign tin-plate
coming into the country. There was
not; but before the campaign was over
the stocks OF the trust began to decline
and importation began again. Ten
months importstions in the current
fiscal year are now reported, and the
figures show that tin plate importation
is almost up to its old level. The in
crease in these 10 months over the same
months in the preceding fiscal year has
been so large that if the percentage is
maintained through the two remaining
months the total tin plate importation
for this fiscsl year will fall but 1000, 900
pounds short OF the average annual
importation before the Mckinley law
was passed. In the meantime Mr..
Niedringhsus has pocketed great for
tune as public gift. MFR. Niedringhaus
is smart man, and we are the great
American people.

WE GIVE elsewhere copious extract
from Bland'a letter in reply to Secretary
Carlisle'e review of the goyernment's re-
cent silver operations, The leader of
the free coinage forces in the house an
alyzes the Sherman act and declares
that from his standpoint the law cannot
be utterly condemned until the terms OF
redemption of silver notes with silver
are complied with by the secretary OF
the treasury. lie finds Democratic
inconsistency in the substitution of the
Sherman law for tariff reform rs the
chief topic OF interest. Many western
Democrats will agree with the chairman
of the coinage committee in all he esys,
and whatever comes from euch source
at such time is a pertinent contribu-
tion to the debate. His views must
necessarily be a factor in the delibera'
tions of the coming session, and they
must now be taken into account.

Instructions. There has been great
deal of bounce exhibited in this trial in
the cross-examinstion of witnesses for

eral occasions has utterly overstepped
the line of decorum in his treatment OF
them. Indeed he has Jumped" some
OF the witnesses in such @ rough and
tumble manner as ought to have called

court preserved its temper and the wit
nesses had to take it. 1t seems, how
ever, that Mr.. Foote has INDUCED in his

THE San Francisco Chronicle OF Tues
day, in its account of the closing OF the
Pacific bank, takes occasion, in way
that leaves the signs of being inspired"
to attack the enterprises OF Southern
California indirectly and the Consoli-
dated Electric railway in particular.
This action is either the result of Grass
ignorance or malice. All of the great
enterprises in Southern California are
prosperous, and rs shown by the recent
addresses to the public issued by the
chamber of commerce, no part Of the
union has as many causes for prosperity
as this. The electric road is doing a
splendid business, as any observer OF Its
cars can tell. The town is full of people,

business is good, more costly buildings

The concert given at the Y. NJ. @. A.
auditorium last evening by Prof. M. s.
Arevalo was an artistic success. Prof.
Arevalo ia we'll known in this city as q
musician of rare talent, and his concert
was an artists triumph-every number
being we'll received by the music loving
audience, and many Of them were en-
cored.
The prelude was March, arranged by
Prof. Arevalo, given by the guitar club,
composed of the following artists: Mrs.
H. L. Taggart, Mrs. Pearl w. Severance,
Misses Lizzie Thayer, Mabel Mcfarland,
II, 4. Longstreth, H. Brodrick, Mr.. V.
Wankowski and Sr. M. Carrizoss.
Mrs. II. de Los Reyes Prescott sang a
mezzo solo, "Stella Con6dente." She
has sweet and pure tone and rendered
the piece admirably. She was recalled,
and gave another pretty number in
answer to the encore.
The Fantasia from Martha, by Profes-
sor Arevalo, was another musical gem
ard was given in that light, cheerful
and graceful manner 80 natural to the
finished artist.
The guitar quntette gave the Bolero,
very piSbIy Spanish WhitH, aitnhsOu
by Professor Arevalo, the artists being
Mrs. Taggart. Misses Thayer and Nc

trato voice, clear and resonant, and
sang with a charming grsce-her high
eet notes remaining sweet and clear.

WE NOTICE that the Hibernia Savings
bank in San Francisco has refused to
reopen deposit accounts with persons
who withdrew their money during a
slight run which was had on the bank
on Wednesday last. This is, of course,
possible with on institution like the Hi
hernia bank, which is one of the strong
est eavings banks in America. But il
would not do as g rule. Indeed, as a
rule, it would be hurtful to the general
business OF community. The proper
policy, and the best policy for all, is to
encourage people who have yielded to
the spasms OF a panic to come back
as coon as they can to normal and
healthy conditions. Now let us take,
for instance, this city. Many of the de.
positors in our savings banks who were
carried away with the frenzy that passed
over our community, rushed headlonG
to their banks, and when they found
that the time rule had been enforced, az
was right, they at once filed notice that
they intended to withdraw their depos
it's. Now, it is not probable that q elm
gle one out of hundred of these dis
traught depositors, having had time tt
think and to look calmly into the stua
tion, doubts the solveney of the bank
and the perfect eecurity OF his money
What these people ought to do, nov
that the sober second thought has hat
time 10 assert itself, would be to with
draw their Notice and to leave the bank
Tree to carry on their business on mol
NAL principles. They will see, if the
reflect, that their notice of intention t
withdraw actually ties up that amour
OF money; that the banks have no optio
but to provide for its payment. In g
