GIories of the Pageant of the Pacific
Magnified by Grand and Varied
IlIuminations.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 17.-Great
is the beauty of the night of the grand
illumination. With the darkness the lamps
were lit On both sides of Spring and Main
streets for mile, extending from the juno
tion OF these TWO streets and for some
blocks beyond down to First street,
where Central Park, several blocks to the
right, is located. are swinging Chinese
lanterns by lines stretched from the tele-
graph poles, and ten feet from the ground
and but few feet apart. Across the road
way for all this distance, but considerably
higher, are strung electric light wires at
the intervals of the trolley poles, and upon
these, a few feet apart, are swung incan-
descent lamps in the alternate colors of the
VINE, the orange and the olive.
These are sparkling over the heads of the
throng like canopy of stars, while the
lines OF mellow light formed by the Chinese
lanterns stretch away so far as to almost
come together in the distance.
These form the groundwork from which
the long procession of arclamps stand out

typical of the leading cities, of which Santa
Rosa win be the guiding spirit at the helm.
The prevailing color will be blue and gold,
the States colors, and California poppies
will constitute the floral decoration.
The float Sunshine" will be represented
by the goddess of the sun, standing upon a
monster orb from which radiate the golden
shafts of sunshine that make our glorious
days and mature our various fruits. The
prevailing color will be white and gold.
The float Fruit is represented by her
goddess, standing under a canopy of silk
and fruit blossoms, surrounded by the
products of the vineyards and orchards.
The prevailing color will be pink, yellow
and light green.
The float "Flowers" will be the richest
in design, and the artist will lavish all his
art in making it the crowning piece of his
conceptions. Queen Flora is seated on a
beautiful and daintily designed throne, in
cream, pink and gold, enthroned with the
choicest of blossoms, beneath a gracefully
designed bower, surrounded by her royal
attendants. The main arch is classic in
design. The predominating colors will be
blue, with rich gold holdings. The ar
rangement of the flowers will be simple
and strictly on classic lines. The whole,
though simple in design, will be rich in
the blending of prevailing colors to retain
the embodiment of simplicity.
The carnival committees meet again on
Monday evening and will consider the
work of celebrating the street display.
Reports from different parts of the State
indicate that the town will be thronged
with visitors from distance. The people
here feel that the eyes of California are
upon them, and that they must make the
carnival a success. This feeling arouses
enthusiasm.
A meeting of the committee of enter
tainment was held this evening and the
price of admission to the band concert was
considered. A scale of popular prices was
agreed upon. A special committee was
appointed to arrange programme for the
first day.
The result of the contest for Queen of
the Roses to-day was as follows:
miss Spottswood, 74S.
miss Donovan, 6S7.
3-Miss Matthews, $50.
miss Bishop, 263.
5-Miss Solomon, 260.
6-Miss Denman, 255.

FATE OF THE FJELD.
The Long Orerdue Schooner Thought to
Haze Been Burned at Sea.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 17.-Shipping
men here are inclined to believe that the
ship reported as burning in latitude 10
south, longitude 113 west, is the Norwegian
ship Field, bound for this port from Grims-
by, and now out lob days. She was, in
company with the British ship Moresby,
off the Horn on January 19, and the
Moresby arrived at San Francisco March
80. The run up the west coast is generally
smooth and there should have been no
great difference in the time of the two
ships. There is no other vessel bound for
this coast with coal, so far as known, that
could have been in the latitude where the
derelict was found.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-18

the procession has gotten well round into
Spring street, and that has been the signal
to let loose the last reservations of the
night and fireworks are overtopping the
houses in that direction, as well as behind
in the park.
The approach, of the line is evidently
being anticipated by rockets in the mer-
chant district and being answered back by
the line itself. Here comes the head of the
eighth division, with its music and masks,
on foot, on horse and on the wheel. The
Turn Verein, dressed as clowns, are per-
forming on the horizontal bars while their
wagon moves.
The cyclers are dressed in infinite va
riety, one having his wheel rigged up as
boat another as an immense wasp
The Los Angeles Athletic Club has a
barge upon which half dozen men in
white, representing so many States, have
stopped before the Queen and are perform
ing a clever act for her entertainment.
They bow and drive on.
Now comes the long line of advertising
floats, all so well constructed and designed
as to be scarcely less interesting than the
others.
Before the end is reached the people in
the park anticipate it, and crowd into the
mall to get glimpse of the Queen as she
is escorted to her carriage and driven away.
The procession moving out of the park
traversed nearly the same route as had
been followed by the day parade, and at
every foot of the way found a throng of
people to crowd upon and cheer it,
The maskers were not out in great num-
bers, but they, it is said, reserve themselves
especially for the grand masquerade of
Saturday. The illumination was continued
until nearly midnight, and the throng,
though materially thinned out, of course,
is still represented abroad and its tin horn
and its tum-tum and, most of all, its sur
prising little whistle.
Tomorrow is children's day, which is TO
be inaugurated by grand parade of the
little ones from the public schools In this
connection has arisen the only bit of friction
developed so far. There was an offer to
introduce banner or float or something
of the little red schoolhouse. There was
some objection made to it and the commit
tee decided to bar it out

published signed by several councils of the

their children from taking part in the

fiesta cannot be said, but whate yer it NAV
be the feeling engendered is very unfortu-
nate at this time.

MURDERED ATBURKE.
The Mutflated Body of a Miner Found Ia
the Mining Camp.

The Mutitated Body of a Miner Found in
the Miatng Camp.
SPOKANE, Wash, April ia special
to the Spokanesman-Review from Burke,
Idaho, says:
This camp was startled to-day by the
discovery of the body of John Wells. The
affair is shrouded in mystery, there being
not the slightest clew to the murderers.
His head was crushed by an ak, and by
his side was found the blood-stained
weapon. Blankets were strapped upon
his back and his valise was near by, show
ing that when the murderers overlook him
he was leaving camp.
The murdered man had been a fireman
in the employ of the Poorman mine for
four years. He was single, and about
% years old. Two days ago he quit work
at the Poorman, and since then has been
gambling around saloons. There is no
evidence that he had any trouble with the
Miners Union or any of its members.

TACOMA, WASH, April 1.-THE West
Coast Lumberman of this city recently
asked al. the lumber and shingle mills of

Citizen, Hangs Himself.
STOCKTON, CAL, April 17.-Dennis
McVickers, a well-known and respected
resident of Stockton, committed suicide
this afternoon by hanging himself to a
rafter in the basement of his house. The
old man was 70 years of age and had been
resident of Stockton since 1868, coming
here from Tuolumne County, where he was
engaged in mining.
During the last few years, particularly
since the death of his wife two years ago,
Mr.. McVickers has been sick, and his i'll
ness had affected his brain to the extent
that he has often asserted that he did not
care to live longer. The inquest will be
held in the morning.
