THOUSANDS IN THE LINE.
BULLS HEADS AND BEEvEs.

All of Oakland and the greater portions
OF Berkeley and Alameda were apparently
turned loose on the streets of the Athens
of the Pacific yesterday to witness the
grand parade in honor of the Grand Parlor
of the Native Sons of the Golden West.
Even from San Francisco the visitors came
in such numbers as to break the record for
weekday traffic on the ferry steamers.
Although the decorations on Monday
were abundantly and generously displayed,
yesterday saw them richer, more varied
and more plentiful. There was scarcely
building along the line of parade that
did not have some adornment in honor OF
the occasion.
In order to encourage proper spirit OF
patriotism in the rising generation the
schools were ordered closed by the Board
of Education.
Long before even the Grand Parlor be-
gan its morning session the streets began
TO show unwonted signs of animation.
The sidewalks gradually became more and
crowded, windows began to NIL with 10y
Gus faces, rooftops showed fringeS OF hu-
man beings and the streets near the curbs
were lined with an kinds OF vehicles.
Oakland is eminentIy the home OF the
cyclst, and the wheelman and wheel
woman were out in full force yesterday,
both in and out OF the parade. And there
was scarcely q wheel the spOkes OF which
were not intertwined with streamers of the
national colors, or which did not bear some
sort OF decoration.
It is estimated that there were not less
than 10000 people who witnessed the
parade Its line of march extended for
distance of three and a half miles, 1t was

given point, was twenty-one and half

with his long curly locks framing his pref

mascot Following engine was little Ed
die Mitchell in miniature cart drawn by
a goat, and he was the envy of all the small
boys along the route.
Trailing after the fire ladies came the
members of the Newsboys' Union OF Oak
land, carving a handsome banner and
looking quite soldierly in their white straw
hats and each with flag on his right
shoulder.
Almost in the van of this division was
the superb float of Eureka" the most
elaborate and striking of those in the pa
rade. 1t was an artistic representation OF
the seal of the State, the figure OF Callfor-
rien sitting aloft and thrown into bold re-
lief by the huge and gorgeous painting OF
one of CALIFORNIA; typical sunsets. She
was attired in flowing robes of white and
gold and her head was surmounted With
golden helmet, with a high crest. She wore
a corselet of gold, in her right hand she
carried spear and in her left shield. On
one side of her throne the national nag fell
in graceful folds and nestled at her feet,
where also lay what appeared to be me
specimen OF bear.
1t was in reality little Harry Smith con-
cealed within the hide OF bruin.
Eureka's way was pointed by the First
Infantry, U. @. g., band, consisting OF
eighteen finely uniformed drummers and
tifers. The appearance of Eureka was
everywhere the signal for cheering and
murmurs of admiration.
In the train of this feat came another
drawn by four finely matched bay horses
richly caparisoned. 1t bore the legend

from Oakland Parlor, which was 100
strong. In advance of them were their
handsome banners and flags, borne by
gentlemen of color. The bear flag and the
flag of the Union were also thus borne. The

WHEAT TRUST SHAKEN
Two Hundred Thousand Tons
of Grain to Be
Released.
Said to Be Part of the Late
James Graham Fairs
Estate.

There was furry in wheat yesterday
afternoon, and still livelier furry is
expected to-day.
1t is believed that by an order of court
issued by Judge Coffey for the sale of the
heavy storage of grain controlled by the
estate of James G. Fair, there will be a
fluctuation in the market, the like OF which
has not been seen for years.
There Is stored in the warehouses at
Port Costa at the present time about
100000 tons of wheat. OF this amount
there are not less than 100000 tons that be-
long to what is known among grain specu-
lators ION Change" as "the trust" This
vast amount of grain is under the imme-
date control of L. w. McGlaut1in.
1t has been held in sight so long that all
the shippers have come to look upon it as
a bugbear in the grain market. The local
dealers have fought shy of it because they
could not secure the warehouse receipts
that would insure its deliverance on board
a vessel.
So long has this vast quantity of grain
lain in store that it began to rust and it
has often been spoken OF as musty and
weavel-eaten.
The order of the Superior Court will re-
lease this vast amount of grain from the
bins that have contained it. 1t is expected
that it will go on the market and will pro-
duce an effect that cannot be foretold.
Immediately after the death of Fair it
was said that great quantities of wheat
were tied up in his estate. Inquiries were
made on all sides, but the exact condition
of the speculation could not be made.
It is now known that L. w. McGlauflin
is the nominal holder, that he held the
grain trust by force of Fairs capital and
that its volume was not increased in any
appreciate degree after the death of the
capitaliSt

AFTER FAIRS MONEY.
Helen Palacios. Alias Dalton, Again
Before the Public.

Before the Public.
Helen Palacios, alias Dalton, alias Mrs
McDermott, has new scheme on hand to
obtain money under false pretenses. This
time she appears as a claimant for some
of the late Senator Fairs money.
Some days ago she appeared before a
local attorney representing herself as the
mother of one of the late capitalists child
rem. According to her story, her relations
with the Senator resulted in the birth of a
boy, who, she said, had died shortly before
Senator Fair.
In support of her claim she produced a
document signed by him, in which she
was promised 100000 for the education
and maintenance of her boy. This docu-
ment purported to have been executed last
August, but it bore date august 4 1895, :"
eight months after J. G. Fairs death.
Mrs. Palacios is known to the police as a
scheming women, having been in several
cases against prominent men. In her en-
deavor to get herself mixed up in the Fair
case she has overreached herself, but is
clever enough to appreciate the fact as she
has not renewed her visits to the attorneys.

different sides of the float were the notices
of the order. The float was drawn by pair
of milk-white horses, tandem style. They
were draped with MEETINGS of white silk,
interviewer with garlands of golden-hued
roses.
About thirty members of Liberty Divi-
sion, Knights of Pythias, followed in full
uniform, bearing their handsome banner.
Next came large delegations of the wheel
men Of the Acme and Reliance clubs.
They were Enthusiastically arranged, and their
evolutions during the march of the parade
were an additional cause for much amuse-
ment and flow of jocular remarks.
One of the most picturesque features OF
the local Fire Department. 1t turned out
four engines and hosecarts and two trucks.
All were deliberately and handsomely deco
rated with flags, streamers and shields,
scarcely any part of them being visible

lacked in numbers it more than made up

fective manner.

entirely different character from its rival.
1t was a miners cabin of the days of AZ,
and the representation was so true to ma
ture that one might readily have believed
that it had been resurrected from some old
time mining claim. Realism was further
given to the tableau by the presence of
roughly clad miners and their implements

and revolvers producing many shudder

and occupied by a delegation of native
daughters. This was the finale.
All the places of business along the line
of march closed their doors while the
the pagent passed.
When the members of the different par
lors passed each other in the counter
march cheers burst forth almost stimuli
taneously that could be heard for many
blocks.
At many points groups of school
children had gathered with burdens of
lovely flowers, which were thrown to the
delegates as they passed.
Even before the parade had got fairly
under way there was an unwonted volume
of traffic on the electrician line running to
Trestle Glen, the scene of the bullshead
feast and barbecue. But when the partici-
pants in the parade dispersed the facilities
at hand proved altogether inadequate,
though five double-deckers had been Dor
rowed from another line. Men, women
and children made general scrabble for a
seat or standing room, and many were well
satisfied to secure place to hang on by

BOOM IN CONCERTS.
Armand A. SaIomon's Farewell - Miss
Pearl Mobiles Beribboned Baton.
Harmony Union.

It is an unwritten law in San Francisco
that concerts shall never come singly, and
last night was no exception to the rule.
There were four.
The Harmony Choral Union gave it's
ninth subscription concert in Odd Fellows
Hall. under the direction of Robert Lloyd.
The union consists of well-drilled
chorus of mixed voices, large enough to
render operate or oratorio choruses, and
the special forte of the organization is
delicacy and finish, which makes it excel
especially in the execution of glees and
madrigals.
1.-THE Violet Loves a Sunny Bank" by
Robert Lloyd, was rendered in an es-
neciallv graceful manner. the precision
being excellent and the Shading something
that Is not often attained in large band
of amateur vocalists.
The .'Soldiers' Chorus from Gounod's
"Faust'' lost a good deal of its character
in being sung by mixed voices.
Among the the other composers per-
formed we're Rheinbergers "Stars in Heav-
en-" Batson's 'To Coquette,' and Men
delssohn's sin the Woods"
The concert rendered to Armand A.
Solomon in the Y. M. G. A. Auditorium
deserved a larger attendance. A number
of prominent local musicians were con-
spicuous by their presence in the audience,
however.
Miss Meta Asher, very young girl,
played gavotte for pianoforte by the
great John Sebastian, with remarkable
clearness and that good legato touch which
denotes the artist.
The First Congregational Church was
prettily decorated for the Sunday-school
orchestral concert last night.
Miss Pearl Noble, the conductor, welded
her baton very clevsrly, and her innova-
ton of having streamers tied to it, was
feminine and pleasing to the eye.
The concert began with pretty over
ture, "The Fairies Glen" which the
young amateurs played quite cleverly. In
fact, throughout the concert they acquitted
themselves most creditably.
Among the soloists of the evening were !:
Miss Maud Noble, Frank Coffin, Miss Char
lotte Gruenhagen and Miss Gertrude judd

subsidized there was a similar struggle to
RETURN to Oakland. Later in the day quite
a number of buses, wagons and other
vehicles were placed in service and their
owners turned many an honest dollar.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 visited
Trestle Glen, most picturesque spot, yes
terday, though there was probably never
more than 5000 or 1000 people on the
ground at one time.

the guests OF hospitable Oakland there had

Lea & Perrius, Victory.

A case OF great Importance to manu-
facturers, and more especially to owners
OF proprietary goods, has Just been de-
cided in the Chancery Division of the
High Court of Justice, London. The
compliments in the case were Messrs.
Lea u Perrins, whose Worcestershire
Sauce is SO well known and highly es-
teemed. A certain London restaurateur
had been in the habit of filling empty bot
ties bearing the Lea oGPerrins' label with
other and inferior mixtures, and palming
them of on his customers as the original
article, and the suit was brought to Sc
cure an injunction against the practice.
Messrs. Lea q Perrins insisted that the
restaurateurs S action injured their repu-
tation and caused them material loss.
The defendant put in general denial and
claimed that be had merely filled small
bottles bearing Lea IL Perrins' label from
larger ones containing their sauce. But
this claim did not stand the test. Com
petent chemists testified that the sauce
offered was not Lea IL Perrins'.
Mr.. justice North's decision was
lengthy. and, carefully considered, bore
in detail against the defendant The
Judge held that it Is hard for q firm, after
having spent years and much money in
building up a reputation for product
distinctly their own, and making it uni
