A DAISY TURNOUT.

. moss covered frame, in which hang
floral bells made of red and white roses
with crosses of blue, representing the beEs
of an old mission church Here is collec-
Jon of rare plants, there fernery and yon-
3er orange and lemon trees in full fruit A
scene that evokes more than passing ad-
miration is a miniature representation of
the Monticeto valley-not as it is today,
with its pretty villages and fruit farms and
scanned with railroads, but as it was 100
years ago.
Far up on the mountain side are the live
oaks and shrubbery covering the hills and
rocks where nestles a little adobe hut.
Down the shady valley Mexican vaquero
creeps along, laden with provisions for
camp on the mountain side. There is the
old mission, adobe walled, tile floored and
with the emblematic cross upon its tower.
One of the old Franciscan monks sits out
side, and not far away is a native plowing
with a wooden pillow pulled by the patient
oxen. Farther down the valley is the far
famed mammoth grapevine, beneath which
a Mexican is taking his MONDAY siesta and
drumming a guitar. Still farther is an
adobe hut, before which sits an Indian
woman, with her black serape thrown over
her head. Against the sunburned walls
strings of red peppers are festooned, every
thing just as it was a century ago. The
Moorish pavilion under the great dome is
made of 5000 callas.
But the browning feature of the festival
is the procession. Along the sides of the
street, upon big platforms and on palm be
speckled lawns, the people begin to congre-
gate early in the day to be ready for the ex-
pected pageant. 1t is finally heralded by a
nf .al h. Ill
and his aids upon flower bedecked horses
Then come the procession of floats, carts
and bicycles, covered with gorgeous and
beautiful designs expressing some pretty
idea
Some Beautiful Floats.
The float of the Floral Festival associa-
ton, which leads the procession, is illustra-
tive OF the four seasons. On sea OF green
leaves float four pink conchshells, each con-
tanning a maiden Ill garments representing
one of the seasons. One in green costume
represents spring, another in robe of pink
roses summer, third in a robe of painted
leaves autumn, and winter Is personified by
a robe of white roses. A silken canopy is
suspended above them. held by golden
spears, around which are curling vines.
Following this is a boat float. In a sea of
marguerites a boat is led by two proud
swans, while the occupants ply the mar
guerite covered oars The sides and ends
of this float are covered with cypress and
evergreen, forming a background for the
floral designs.
A massive coach, hidden by thousands Of
Duchess roses and wisteria and filed with
merry men and msidens in colonial cos
tunes, glides by.

SANTA BARBARA, March GA unique
feature of early spring in the southern Cal
ffornia winter resorts is the holding OF
floral carnivals at a time when the warm
rains of winter have turned the yellow
fields and mountain sides to a greener hue
and the sunshine brings profusion of wild
flowers to make gay this region, TO which
so many people come when frost and snow
are making drear their own land.
We arrived at Santa Barbara after a
months cycling tour through the Month
ceto valley, the garden spot of the CONT
nent. the mere mention of which suggests a
niidwinter paradise Fields Of daisies and
other brilliant flowers wave in the warm
breezes and climb along the crumbling
walls and among the bells of the deserted
missions They form banks and hedges
along the highways and byways, here and
there fencing off an orange grove, its glossy
green foliage punctured with golden balls
and limiting gardens of dat, palms and
acres of trellised graperies On The hillsides.
wing with these are the scarlet gera-
NUNS, which, grown into trees, poke their
scarlet heads in at the chamber windows,
from which we see fields white with callas,
loading the air for miles with their rich
perfume.
The First Flower Festival.
Only in southern California could perfect
festivals of flowers be created, and they
owe their beginning TO one held in Santa
Barbara in 1891 on the occasion of the visit
of ex-President Harrison. So enjoyable
and beautiful was this that the following
spring the festival was enlarged and the
procession greatly extended and elaborated,
while sports and general decorations were
added to the pleasures.
This has since developed until floral
arches and greenery transform the staid
business blocks and dwellings, into bowers.
between which the streets run like rivers
between banks of loneliness.
Exhibits Of horticultural and agricultur-
al products are held in great pavilions, and
the intoxicating week of revelry eliminates
in the grand floral procession and battle Of
flowers
The interior of the floral pavilion flames
with glorious coloring, and the sea of
bloom is lighted with hundreds of electric
lights and permeated with sweet odors.
The lofty arches of the building are draped
with gray Spanish moss. while the entire
structure is lined with date palm leaves.
Handsome booths and stands show the rich
fruit products of the country.
Elfand, with its sweet maidens in fairy
costumes, is rivaled by Japan with the mi
kado and the children of the orient.

CHARGED WITT SEDUCGIoN.-A
,.o,ro woman n;;;utd Ada Thicker, 81
ears of age, appeared at the Mayors
ctfce this morning and swore out n
warrant against Chas. w. Foley, aged
SS charging him with seduction. She
cJaims that Foley, under promise of
marriage. became ultimate with her last
inne, and that when marriage becau e
necessary as a result of their relations
he procured a license in the courthouse
in this city. 1t is dated September 30,
1S94. The accused, however, refused
"a have the bans celebrated, and the
nrosecutrix becoming apprehensive of
an approaching crisis, this morning ap-
nIied for a warrant for Foley's arrest.
The prosecutrix is q native of King
George county, and has been in Alex
andria about four years. When she
found herself at the mercy of Foley and
realized that he was 10th to fulfill his
nromise, she naturally grew uneasy,
and concluded to consult a fortune-tel-
Ter. She visited Mrs. Sweedon Whose
decease was noted a few days ago. and
was told by the oracle not to go to law
about the matter, that she would al
ways be rich, &c, sc. But Miss Trick
err. seeing no signs of an approaching
fuifillment of the phophesy, determined
TO take, the common-sense course and
have her seducer arrested.

asleep. She tried to arouse the sleeper
who she found to be partly under the
influence of liquor and then summoned
an officer. The man, after begging to
be allowed to sleep a little longer, was
gotten out of bed aud down stairs, by
which time he had collected his
thoughts. He said that he had been to
the races had gotten drunk and had
started to walk to his home in Wash
ington but how he got in the house he
could not tell. Akey was found in his
pocket which he said was the key of bis
house. It was found that the key fitted
Mrs. Netherlands door and the officers
say that while the man was drunk Sat
urday night he went to her house, mis-
taking it for his home, unlocked the
door, went up stairs and went to bed,
where he was found next morning. As
the man appeared to be innocent Of
having committed any of!ense no
charge was made against him and he
was allowed to 90 free. He is said to
be a Washington policeman
