ADMISSION DAY LOCALLY
1t Will Be Observed Generally
as a Holiday Without
Formal Exercises.
THEPIONEERs WILL CELEBRATE
Marksmen to Turn Out-New
Police Belts-A Fireworks
Display.

While the eyes of many will be turned
to-day toward the celebrating Native Sons
at Sacramento, yet that city will not alb
sorb all the celebration of the forty-1fth
anniversary of CALIFORNIA; admission into
the Union.
In this City the day will be generally
observed as holiday, individuals taking
advantage of the closing of the courts and
business houses to HE them to the coun-
try or in other ways seek rest and recrea-
ton,
At the same time there are number of
events under the auspices of organizations
billed for to-day. One of the most notable
of these will be the celebration of the So
ciety of California Pioneers at Pioneer
Hall. There will be speeches and an ex-
cellent literary programme. DR.. Wash
ington Aver will read an original poem en-
titred "Past, Present and Future" Of
which the following is part:
The old oak tree-that grand old tree of yore-
Now stands alone by the white cottage door,
Inviting the weary to rest in its shade,
Where Indian mafdens often have strayeds
Full many a tale is told of this tree
Its wonderful growth and its slow decay;
OF storms that it braved and even stood fast
In triumph sublime through every fierce blast.
The emblem of strength is that grand old tree
Of man in his years still active and free.
Well live and we'll toll in merriest glee,
And sing again of that venerable tree.
There is tree in Monterey, which is re-
ferred to in the above lines, that is of in
terest in connection with the early history
of that place. Mrs. Field, the wife of the
venerable jurist, is writing short mono.
logue on it, which will PROBABLY be finished
before her return to Washington.
In honor of this day, the police will ap-
pear with new belts, and uniforms spe-
cially brushed up Tor the occasion.
The residents of Baldwin Heights will
give grand display of fireworks tonight,
Commencing at o'clock, at the corner of
Baker and Union streets, and the National
Guardsmen will engage in State shoot at
Shell Mound Park, where the Scots will
also turn out en- masse to do honor to the
occasion and indulge in their national
games.
The weather official, w. H. Harmon,
says that it will be partly cloudy during
the day, and that "brisk westerly winds"
will prevail.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
Arrival of Several of the Crew
of the Lost Steamer
BaWnmore.
MRS. WooDsIDE A HEROINE.
Two Morton Transfer Men Arrested
for Soliciting on Broadway
Wharf.

The purser and several of the crew of the
steamer Bawnmore arrived on the Arago
yesterday. They corroborate the published
reports concerning the loss of the vessel,
and give Captain Woodside credit for ex-
erclslng all possible caution previous to
the disaster and of making every possible
effort to save life and property after the
Bawnmore struck on the reef Mrs. Wood
side was the heroine of the wreck. She
was the bravest of the brave during the
trying hours when the waves were break
ing over the doomed steamer, washing
everything movable from the decks.
Standing by the side of her husband, amid
the confusion around her, she inspired all
by her courage, and to her demeanor is
partly due the GOODNESS that actuated all
on board.
The boat in which she came ashore filled
and was overturned in the breakers, and
she made her way to the beach fighting
with the waves like the rest. She landed
with not dry shred of clothing upon her.
and when she spread her only dress out
on broken chair it was stolen by the in
human wreckers who gathered to carry off
everything they could lay their hands on.
Captain Woodside will lose heavily by
the olSaSter, as ne had on board lot OF
| merchandise of his own uninsured. He
will return to San Francisco about the last
of the week.

RoUGHs FOILED.
A Young Woman Brutality Assaulted OH
San Jose Avenue.

San Jose Avenue.
Title Collins, young woman % years
of age, was induced by two young men
whom she met on an electric car to go
with them to a dance-hall on Saturday
night on San Jose avenue. After dancing
for an hour or two they took her down
stairs to a saloon, where they had some
beer. She wanted to go home and they
offered to accompany her to the cars.
They were joined by two other young men.
and after escorting her to a secluded spot
they assaulted her. One of them kept his
hand over her nj outh to prevent her
screaming, but 8 he succeeded finally in
getting her mout b free and screamed
loudly for help. Her screams were heard
by two conductors in the Valencia-street
power-house, which was close by, and they
ran to her assistance, but the cowardly
ruffians had fed.
The young woman was so weak with
struggling that after walking some dis
lance she tainted. When she recovered
she accosted policeman, and as her
breath smelled of liquor he arrested her
for drunkenness. Last night she told the
story of the assault upon her, and the
police will make every effort to find the
four young men. She says she could

Interesting Donations Received at the
Museum-Mr. BardwelPs Col
lection.
Golden Gate Park was not crowded yes-
terday. The weather was not at it's best
and toward evening fog blew in from the
sea. Nevertheless the park was by no
means deserted and until the fog blew in
the ocean beach contained almoss its usual
quota of Sunday campers.
It wasn't the weather alone that kept
people from the park, but more the festivi-
ties at the State Capital. Everybody is
at Sacramento to-day" said Superin-
tendent McLaren as he noted the absence
of fashionable turnouts on the main drive
way. But this was not entirely true, for
both the speaker and the person addressed
were certainly not at Sacramento.
The Park Museum enjoyed a liberal
patronage, and the Sutro Baths were fairly
well occupied. The museum has recently
acquired number of interesting exhibits.
Among them is the collection of John l..
Bardwell, containing many antique curlos.
One of them lisa piece of the rope that
hung Cora and Casey. Another of them is
lariat made at San Quentin Prison in
1854 from the hair of 557 different prisoners.
Mrs. M. J.. Craig has donated an inter-
esting lot of Indian curios. Miss M. Ayde-
lotte has given the museum colonial
plate of value. Richard Smith has con-
tributed q Cri1nean war medal. Arthur
Rochat has sent some old English ribbons
and coins, also some ancient Egyptian
coins. Claude Fyfe has donated a CLASH
fed collection of birds eggs.
The museum is becoming quite popular,
and contributions are continually being re-
ceived by its custodian, Charles P. Will

THE CHINATOWN FEUD.
Rewards offered at the Consulate for
the Conviction of See Yup
Offenders.

The feud between the See Yups and Sam
Yups is still on in Chinatown and it was
necessary for Consul General Ii and Con-
sui Chang to have Another circular posted
yesterday.
1t seems there has been a great deal of
quiet holding-up going on among the See
Yups and whenever they have caught a
patron of the Sam Yup stores they have
relieved him of his purchases in very short
order.
The circular posted yesterday in front of
the consulate offers rewards ranging from
$50 to 5000 for the arrest and conviction of
any Chinese caught robbing Sam Yup
customer or any patron of any store. The
amount of the reward depends upon the
degree of the crime committed and tho
measure of punishment inflicted after con-
vlction.
The object is evidently to stir UP some of
the victims to the courage of testifying
against offenders. Heretofore these VIC
Tins have suffered in silence for fear that
any complaint made by them would result
in some personal violence or pecuniary
misfortune at the hands of the boy cotter.

yserm on by the Rev. K. Mackenzie of the
First Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of
She First Presbyterian Church, preached a
very interesting sermon last evening on
the subject OF discrimin alton between the
natural and supernatural
He spoke of the belief of man in some
hing that he felt exists, but what he can
aot see, and in illustration of this he said
EIat man knows that electricity exists be-
Aause of its results, but if the dynamo is
taken apart and examined ever so closely
the power which is known to exist cannot
be found or seen. He continued:
Man reasons from fixed point. He
reasons about the universe as far as he
can see and no further. Man is the Supe-
rior of all beings in the universe, but that
superiority is due to the vital force, which,
like electricity, is known to exist but can
not be seen even upon dissection. Huxley
once said If the body OF a man we're placed
in a barrel of spirits and the body of an
ape were placed in another barrel of
spirits the one could not be told from the
other, and that was because tina. some
thing which makes man the superior being
cannot be placed in the barrel; if that
could be done then the difference between
the two could be observed at once"
After dwelling upon the unseen power
known as lie anC us wonders ne SaIu tnat
the most beautiful picture of faith and be-
lief in something beyond was the little
child kneeling at its bedside and commit
ting its life to the supernatural-to some
thing it believes IN but cannot see; and The
next beautiful picture was the old man
who is praying for the other world. These
were given as illustrations in the unseen.

AS regards the health of its operatives,
lacemaking has one great advantage.
There is no necessity for assembling great
numbers of people close together in this
business nor for taking women from their
homes and therefore breaking the bond of
family union. Those who make their live
hhood in this trade are afforded a large
degree of freedom. Women can easily
carry their spinning wheel and lace pill
lows from one place TO another. Their
work may be done with equal convenience

Lenons In Southern Italy.

The damp, soft air of Sorrento is per-
feet for the cultivation Of the orange,
but Massa-Lubrense, which IS dry and
more sheltered, IS gwen MP TO the prof.
uce of lemons, which yield an enor-
nous percentage to the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of landthat can be used for that
purpose. Orange trees are here and there
mingled with the lemons, just as lemon
trees will be seen in the midst of the
orange groves of Sorrento, though in
neither case are they the chief produce
of the place.
Massa-Lubrense is largely indebted
for its salubrious air to its lemon plan
tations. Three years must pass before a
newly planted lemon tree begins to bear
fruit, and in order to bring it to perfec-
ton it must be freely watered. A hol-
low is dug round the base of the tree to
receive the water as in basin, SO that
it may slowly penetrate to the roots.
Poles are planted at intervals in the
ground, somewhat higher than the trees,
and smaller poles or canes are placed
crossways above them, which are COW
cred with mating when the winter ap-
proaches. 1t is not removed till the
spring is well advanced, for lemon trees
must be most carefully sheltered from
wind or frost. The fruit is gathered
chiefly during the summer months. es-
pecially in May, July and September,
though there are lemons on the trees ali
the year round.-Chambers' Journal
