ARMENIAN RUGS FOR MATING
FLOORS.

These rugs are getting scarce. From
time immemorial it has been the GUS
tom OF Armenian families to bequeath
their knowledge of weaving rugs as a
legacy to each succeeding generation.
In this way the patterns were kept
pure and characteristic, but the
late Turkish massacres are inter-
fering with this. Not only have the
people who know the patterns been
killed, but the looms have been destroy
ed.
We offer a number of really artistic
and creditable Armenian rugs at the
lowest prices. These were bought be-
fore the rise, and are now bargains.
Why not cover your floor with one Of
our exquisite Chinese or Japanese
straw mattings, and scatter about a
few of these rare rugs? You will for
get the uncomfortable warm weather.

islation of March IA 1851. entitled. IAN
act to settle land claims in California"
"The act provides that all those whohOld
by Mexican title shall present their claims
to board TO be appointed and known as 4
Board OF Land Commissioners withih-fve
years from and after the passaSe of.the
act. IF the Land Commissioners found
that the grantee. had a just and legal claim
by Mexican law TO the property it was the
duty of the Commissioners toeConfIru the
title OF the trustee and ee would then be
entitled TO a patent from the Government.
If the Mexican grantee did not so present
his claim within the FIVE years specified,
then his property should become the prop
erty of the Government, unless, perchance,
some one OF the land sharks or their tools
did not seize it. ..':-... ''-'. .
"When the treaty was ratified and the
Mexican people knew their Government
had provided for their protection they
little dreamed that the other party TO the
treaty would so basely betray them. Many
an old Mexican living to-day in this State
cannot understand how it was that the
Yankee settlers could take possession of
their property, drive them out of their
homes, seize their growing crops and
make beggars OF them. They cannot un-
derstand how body of lawmakers 1900
miles away could pass law authorizing
such wholesale theft.
"The Spanish and Mexican residents. as
has been evlnceu by the recent suits are
beginning to revive the old laws. and with
the assistance of able lawyers are seeking
to regain some of their former possessions.
When that law was passed the day of the
newspaper on this coast had not arrived
and the mail coach was intermittent. In
stead of five years, the limit prescribed by
Congress, 1T was ten, fifteen and twenty
years before the Spanish and Mexican
landowners learned that they had TO pre-
sent their claims to the commission.
"By the law of 1851 each pueblo could
present it's grants to the Land Commits
sioner for confirmation the same as might
an individual. Several Of the pueblos of
California were never so presented. You
ask me why? l can only answer why
by presenting the theory that the officers
of such pueblos were interested in the sue
cessfuI operation of the law of 1851, and
that there were numerous squatteHs around
ready to do their bidding.
''The land sharks are not all dead yet.
1t was only short time ago l had occa-
sion to Investigate the title TO large ranch

grant to the land had never been pre-
sented for confirmation. and consequently

Patriotic Party That Drove to Town
With Flags Flying to Serenade
0The CALI

A patriotic party of young men came
from Colma to the City Yesterday in
vehicle that attracted general attention.
They drove six dashing horses ali be-
decked with evergreens and completely
filled big wagon that was also gayly dec
grated, and it was quite evident that the
jolly fellows were having merry celebra-
ton of New Years day behind the green
bo ughs and American flags.
Their original ideas in the way of
decorations caused these Colma boys to be
heartily cheered until their passage through
the City streets seemed like a great ova-
ton. Their wagon was lined with the stars
each side were written the words, 'tMon-
siastic display of patriotism went the
music of fife and drum, which sounded in
many a martial and National air. The
boys, too, had veil: Rah, 'rah, Colma

Interesting Items From important Points in Alameda County,

day it was not the fault of the Salvation
Army. From noon till late this afternoon
the old barracks on Eighth street re-
ceived the most pitiable lot of guests that
have oeen gathered together since last
New Years day.
Tables were built wherever. room could
be found and the large floor of the hall
was the busiest part OF the city for several
hours. For two weeks the Army people
have been preparing for the New Years
dinner and during the past four days the
tin boxes exhibited in various parts OF
town have been freely patronized. Con-
trary TO the custom of former years the
people seemed more willing to give money
than donations of goods.
AS soon as the doors opened crowd
was ready TO sit down. 1t would have
been sarcasm to have spoken to them of a
happy" New Year, for. judging by their
looks, they knew but little of the elements
OF happiness. But they were all hungry
and were anxious TO be filled, and that was
all the demand for admission required
The scene inside was a very busy one
Dozens of bonnetted lassies and men in
red Guernseys flew around and waited on
their guests.
The outside air was cold and the appe-
tizing steam rising from scores of hot
dishes looked especially attractive. One
of the most thoughtful acts of the Saliva
tionlsts, and one which won the admira-
ZION ci the whole Police Department, was
locking after the dodgers" whom abject
poverty drives to the City Hall each night
A lieutenant called at the prison at mid
night, asked the number Of dodgers and
left card of invitation to each to come to
the free dinner at noon.
That's what call religion" said Cap
tain Fletcher, 'and it's the first time 1
ever saw anybody who cared about our
poor lodgers." There were about fifty at
the prison last night and they all. were
guests of the lads and lassies at the New
Years dinner.
About 400 people partook of the free
meal, but this number does not represent
all that was done. Many families were
sick and others were too proud to be seen
at the army tables. But they all had to
be provided with dinner and many er-
rands OF mercy were made by the cadets
with well-flled baskets. Ensign Reed
found that the contributions fell some
what short of the necessary outlay, so
there is still chance to help. =.
