the chairman, but accompanied by its
faithful clerk, Charles Bell, had its reful-
gence IN the press tribune.
Some of the street cars were decorated
yesterday. This was the first day.
1t is remarkable fact that no
accidents to speak of and directly attrib-
utbale to something connected with the
Fiesta have occurred so far. With the
number of islands, galleries and tribunes
built promiscuously everywhere upon the
roads of march, the increased circulation
OF vehicles, the many horses and the
complicated street car system. the safety
of the public has been eminently pro-
tected by good fortune.
After the parade of yesterday afternoon
two well dressed young men made them
selves obnoxious on the principal
thoIoughfares with a hdeous original
contrivance that was enough to scare the
average pedestrian into fits. Attached to
the end of q long stick was a make-be-
lieve bug that looked startlingly like
big fat tarantula. and every time favor
able opportunity presented itself the
young men would set the bug to dangling
and thrust it in the face of some defense
less woman. The expressions upon the
faces OF the victims were highly amusing.
Some of them would utter a half sup
pressed "ouch!'' and immed lately spread
themselves over half the pavement in
their efforts to get away ever SO far and
those women who know not fear would
throw their chins back contemptuously
as they shot indignant glances at the
fresh young men. The fun of the latter
was finally interrupted by an officer, who

SAN FRANCISCO. April 19.-The
petition of Robert Briese, the saloon
keeper who wanted the side entrances to
all churches closed lounges removed from
churches and ministers to be licensed
came up before the board of supervisors
today. Briese was present with an attor
ney to urge the passage of an ordinance
carrying out his recommendations. The
supervisors were inclined to look upon
the matter as joke, but Briese was SER
ious. The recent horror in Eman uel
church inspired Mr.. Briese to make his
remarkable petition, but the supervisors
did not see the matter in the same light
and lectured the saloon keeper for his
temerity in making such a proposition.
The petition was referred to the waste
basket.

Valenciennes lace, so much used for trimming every sort of gown, is also al- lowable on the graduating dress. For the dainty stuff really belongs to the young girls, anyway, and it's use by older women is sort of usurpation. A white Swiss gown, with tiny frills of either white or yellow Valcnciennes, is an ideal graduating dress, but care must be taken not to introduce too many frills, lest the appearance of sim plicity by destroyed
 The really fashionable girl graduate will wear plain Swiss gown, with, perhaps, a stock collar of tucks and narrow Valenciennes, with little points at the sides. Her sleeves must hang demurely from the shoulder in godet folds, or they may be tucked down for two or three inches, and then swell out in large puff, which is again gathered or tucked in at or about the elbow, from which the sleeve is made tight fitting to the waist. Here the effect on the neck may be repeated by the addition of q lace-trimmed cuff. A stock of satin ribbon, with bow at the back, is often substituted for the lace collar.

there is many perplexed mother at this present moment who has the task before her of choosing Marie's bridal gown for her June wedding at the same time that she is puzzling her brains to think of an original graduating dress for Elsie. On these two important oc- casions of a young woman's life, how ever, when she wants to.1ook her. very best, she issso hampered by custom and consideration of other peoples feelings that she finds it difficult to look even as well as usual. The bride is forbidden any suspicion of decol1ete, and is usu- ally dressed so elaborately as to appear stiffy and seldom looks as well as her bridesmaids, who are permitted more liberty in the choice of gown. The graduate is always assumed to be young, and her dress must therefore be simple, a rule which is very consoling to the young woman who cannot afford to be elaborate, no matter what the fashion may be, but to the girls with rich papas it is often very trying to ap- pear in the garb prescribed by custom. In many schools the authorities have made rules in regard to the style of dress to be worn, but it has usually been sufficient to appeal to the better feelings of the young women who can afford fine gowns to forego them for the sake of those who cannot
 It has grown to be the custom for the rich girl to appear in severely simple gowns, when on the platform to deliver their graduating theses, or to receive their diplomas, and to have other dresses as elaborate as they see fit for the graduating balls and other fetes which are held at commencement time Hence the fashion is not so economical as it might at first seem.

 Miss Fly Rod says that is about the most convenient dress for women anp- glers.
 Ii one was not told that Mrs. Walli- F han was mighty daughter of Nimrod and could do all sorts of daring things 1t would be natural to desribe her as "a dear white-haired old lady, In view of those thirty-two deer she has killed that description has to be modified. She has white hair, hanging in natural curls on her neck. And she is past middle-age. But to call her old isn't correct, for she is too active to warrant the adjective
 Although she is Wisconsin woman by birth she adds proudly that her father moved dfrom'Massachusetts to that state, and she has title clear to mem bership among the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 When the Wallihans moved to Wyo- ming and later to Colorado her husband and brother didn't like leaving her alone in their cabin home for days una ble to protect herself So she learned to use gun. Sometimes she has stood in the door of her own cabin and shot wolves.
 Mrs. Wallihan says she doesn't do deer stalking alone, and most of the thirty-two deer have not been hilled unless the family needed meat. Since she has learned to shoot she has usual ly gone with her husband, who has a set of Peffers four times as 1uxuriant as those of the Kansas senator.
 Now, there are good many men and women in the world who would be quite contented if they were cool enough to bring down elk, partners, mountain lions, lynx and wolves, but Mir.

inestimable value. Actors often sayi If l could only go in front and see my- self play I would soon be able to cor rect all my poses, walks and positions" Courtney makes the camera do this work for his men. He takes snapshots at his men in action, and when the pie lures are developed each man can see for himself whether or not he worked as he should. These pictures are ob- ject lessons of the most interesting character. They will be valuable ad- dition to the athletic archives of the college, and they will grow more and more valuable from year to year.
 There is one place where photogra- phy does not meet with favor, and, oddly enough, it is the place where it is most needed That is, on the race track. We are taught that there are exceptions to all rules and that man, proud man, with all his accomplish ments, is but fallible. We know, too, for sleight-of-hand performers have demonstrated it thousands of times, that the eye, wonderful as is it's power, cannot follow accurately objects in quick motion if that motion be irregu- lar. The exception to this rule is the ability of race track judges and start CTS to perform their duties without making a single blunder. These gen tlemen claim absolute infallibility It is true that thousands of people ire quently differ in opinion from them, just as they do from the opinions of baseball umpires, who are also infal- lible. It would seem that these gentle men would welcome the camera to their stands as a valuable adjunct to aid them in justly determining close finishes, but they do not. They look upon it with distrust. This Is, think, largely due to the fact that nowadays race track judges and starters are won derfu1ly well paid for their services, and they recognize that if the camera were called in to help them their sal aries would soon be cut down. They may kick now, but I venture the prediction that, within five years, every frst-class race track in the country will be provided with a suitable place for photographing it's finishes and with a dark room for instantly developing the plates The photographer 1 speak of tells me that if he had such accom- modation he could develop a plate in three minutes that would enable the judges to determine absolutely the winner in nose-and-nose finish. This being the case, the day of the purblind and often incompetent track judge is rapidly coming to an end. Speed it's close. My photographic friend is now
