WORKING FOR THE FETE,
SausaIito Citizens Are in
Earnest for the "Night
in Venice"
j. B. Stetson Says Encouraging
Words and Gives a Pointer to
TRANSPORTATION Companies.

There is no more imposing point in all
the grand circle of towns and resorts on
the bay for an exhibition of ga Night in
Naples" than Sausalito. From the steam
ers anchored outside of the line of parade
or from the verandas of the residences and
hotels the visitors can lose nothing of the
grand sight the projectors of the fete pro-
pose to prepare.
The nineteen gentlemen who called the
meeting for next Saturday afternoon have
taken great intere st in the project, which
was first suggested by J. B. Stetson and
they will labor with zeal to carry the pro-
ject to completion. The general plan of
the exhibition has been thoroughly con-
sdered by the persons interested and the
organization meeting on Saturday will
have only the work OF appointing the
working committees: who arrange the
definite plans.
1t has been casually suggested that the
time shah be early in October. The matter
of time was considered in an informal way
yesterday, and the prevailing opinion was
that October 8 or 10 would be suitable,
owing to the fact that the moon is sched-
uled to behave in very exemplary man
ner about that time.
j. b. Stetson in speaking of the pros
pective carnival said yesterday:
am glad the initiative step has been taken in
the matter by the holdingofa preliminary meet
ing. The way TO begin is to get to work. There
should be a large attendance at the meeting
on Saturday. We can make handsome ex-
hfbiton, for Sausalito can be decorated and il
Illuminated to advantage, and with the parade
on the water and the fireworks and the sudden
bursting forth of the volcanic display at a
specified time, the sight will be grand and
startling. The point ON the pier on top of the
coal-bunkers where a grand bandstand will
be erected, If the projectors desire it. will be
within hearing of q large audience. 1t is prac-
tically on the water and will accommodate 100
musicians.
We should arrange for theanchoring of the
visiting boats at point where the passengers
who do not care to go ashore may see the whole
show, and there is plenty of room for that PLAN
This is matter that all the transportation
companies should take interest in TO the
extent of liberal subscription toward the ex-
pcnse. 1t will furnish a grand entertainment
for the people and the only persons to profit by
it will be the transportation companies. The
North Pacific Coast Railway Company is ready
to do its share and hope the others will fall
in line.

clothes, succeeded in catching the ticket
seller by pretending to purchase.
It was after IL o'clock in the evening,
and Cooper refusing to close the store, left
another person in charge. The officer took
him to the police station ina car, where
the prisoner procured bail and was released
soon after.
He was convicted in Judge Lows court,
pleading guilty, and in consideration of
his plea of poverty and being cripple,
and upon the recon mendation of the ar
resting officer, was released with a So fine
and judicial lecture
He left the courtroom well satisfied with
his escape, but afterward concluded that
he was justified in attacking the patrol
man who was endeavoring toauphold the
law. He was almost month formulating
charges, and when they were put in writing
they we're calculated to intimidate any
policeman who has the remotest idea of
interfering with the lottery traffic:
The investigation is set for next Wednes-
day evening, when Lottery Ticket-seller
Cooper will be present with counsel and
witnesses to play even on the patrolman
who caught him at his lawless practices.

RAILWAY UP TAMALPAIS.
The High Summit to Be Reached by
Precipitous Scenic
Road

A scenic railway is to be built from Mill
Valley station on the North Pacific Coast
Railway to the summit of Tamalpais. 1t
has been surveyed along the picturesque
spurs and tnrnings of the mountain and
up over precipitous grades to give passen-
gers the best that can be afforded in views
of bay and land with the added sensation
of shooting up, or down, a precipice.e
The comfort of visitors to the high peak
is not to be forgotten, for there will be a
commodious hotel and a resort near the
topwhere excursionists may enjoy them
selves after variety of ways. In summer
time they can spend the day in strolling
round the two peaks and viewing the
panoramas presented on all sides, while in
the storms of winter many people are ex-
pected to visit the resort for the novelty of
viewing Tamalpais amid the clouds and
nature in her widest moods nearly 5000
feet above the level of the sea.
The project of building the railway up
the mountain has been taken up by J. B.
Stetson and other gentlemen interested in
the narrow gauge line from Sausalito.
Surveys have been made under their direc-
ton and estimates placing the cost at less
than $25O,00 completed. Rights of way
have been secured and everything is ready
for commencing construction, which, how
ever, will not be started until after the
coming winter. The valley terminus OF
the road will be near Mill Valley station,
whence the line will rise on grades, IN COM
parison with which California or Washing
ton-street hills would seem almost level
1t will be necessary to have cogwheels on
the cars and locomotives and rack rails to
insure absolute safety.
The hotel will cost about $25, 900. It will
EA designed for the comfort of guests and
to accommodate fifty persons The
grounds surrounding will be attractively
improved and great effort made to make

JOHN COOPER'S REVENGE.

Brings Charges Against the

lottery tickets, makes a remarkable
attempt to even accounts with the police
man who arrested him, and has filed set
of charges with the Board of Police Com

from most any standpoint.
