SWEET MUSIC ROSE.
Open-Air Afternoon Concert by the
Oakland Band.

HAYWARDS, CAL, May 2L-The OPEN
air concert by the Oakland Concert Band
of sixteen pieces was billed for P. NJ, but
the warm rain fell drearily on the green
hills and the fat orchards that make Hay
wards one of the prettiest garden spots in
California, and the band waited for the
sunshine and the patches of clear blue sky,
which came about o'clock.
The bandstand was a streetcar under
the big arch of evergreens. George II.
Richardson, the leader. occupied the con-
ductor's station, the appropriate place for
him, while the young man with the bass
drum thumped away in the place where
the car-driver is won't to whack the Hay
wards carhorse with a bull whip.
The population came out upon the side
walks and sat at the neighboring windows
where they could hear the music.
Chairs were set in front of the leading
places of business for the accommo dation
of the pretty girls, and they formed bou-
quet of beauty that was admired by the
visitors more than the music.
The programme was carefully made up,
the popular and catchy airs of Bale and
Bailey being interspersed with choice bits
from the more studied compositions of
Wagner, Guonod and Rossini. The solos
were exceptionally well played, the clar-
ionet, cornet, trombone, barytone and xylo-
phone being appiauded by the loud clap
ping and encores of hundreds of people.
The concert was sadly missed by the
delegates. they being in session in Native
Sons Hall until nearly o'clock In the
evening. The following is the programme

in order, and J. Z. Crooks, the horticultural
humorist OF Haywards, was called upon to
respond to the first sentiment, that OF

piest vein, and kept his hearers, now
heartily applauding his gallant sentiments
and now convulsed with merriment at his
droll sayings. He is natural born wit,
and has been the life of the party since the
assembling of the council.
After "The Ladies" came 1.-THE Native
Sons of the Golden West" appropriately
responded to by DR.. A. J. Powell, a Native
Son. He felicitously mentioned that the
majority of the delegates to the Y. NJ. 1.
Council were native sons, and that the
toast was in its proper place. next to ''The
Ladies'" at the head OF the list.
The honor of responding to 1.-The Y. NJ.

from the vinelands of Fresno. Mr.. Gala
CHER is bright young lawyer and leading
citizen of that place and an eloquent
speaker. He told of the hum BILE beginning
of the order. the meaning of its motto,
For God and Country" The fact that
they were members of the institute, he
said, was proof of the loyalty and patriot
ism of its members. This loyalty was not
composed of words. 1t dwelt in the bosom
of every member of the Y. NJ. l., and every
member was ready to spring to the de.
tense of this country against foes from
within or without, and to shed his blood
and lay down his life, if need be, for the
perpetuation of the principles Of the
| American Republic.

very hard work during the season OF
closed doors.
Owing to the creation of a Supreme
Council and the adoption by it of a consti-
tuition to govern the order all over the
country, it was necessary to change the
constitution of the Grand Council in order
to be in harmony with it. This involved
considerable preparation and study on the
part of the council.
This being the first Grand Council held
by the Pacific jurisdiction of the Y. NJ. L.
since the organization of the Supreme
Council, it was necessary to name it so
that it might be identified as such in the
| records of the order. Many members were
in favor of starting it with the number
and an appropriate name by which to des-
| ignate it from the first Grand Council.
After considerable discussion on the point
| il was decided to adhere 10 the original
numbering and designate it as the
Twelfth Grand Council of the Pacific Ju-

HAYWARDS, CAL, May 21.-The Cas-
tro-street Theater was the scene OF the
Y. NJ. l. banquet this evening. The audi
forum had been deliberately decorated.
Paper lanterns of various colors and de-
signs hung from festoons of cypress and
paper flowers OF gay hues and shed soft
light amid the banners and streamers
which depended from the ceiling.
The room was occupied by three tables
extending its entire length. They were
covered with snowy linen and profusely
decorated with pyramids and fountains
OF flowers, above which the scarlet cross OF
the Y. NJ. l. arose as a reminder that even
in the hours of pleasure the members
should not forget that it was their duty ia

were appIauded to the echo.

1. B. Dockweiler of Los Angeles. He
spoke wittily as we'll as earnestly on this
theme, and paid Northern and Central
California the compliments BETTING the
occasion.
Frank Kierce OF San Francisco responded
feelingly to the toast, ''Our Past Presi-

"The Twelfth Grand Council" was the
theme set for James E. Kenny, and he
acquitted himself admirably.

One as good
as another.
It is easy to say that
one preparation is as
good as another, and it
is easy to waste money
by buying something
you know nothing
about and receiving
no benefit. When the
body IS weak and you
want to giveit strength,
when health is failing,
what wisdom is there
IN experimenting with
a substitute, when for
a few cents more you
can buy the original
article? For more than
twenty years SCOTS
Emulsion has been the
standard Cod-iver Oh
emulsion. It contains
more pure Norwegian
Cod-liver Oh than any
other emulsion IN the
world, and will stand
the test Of time as
being a perfect, insep,
arabic emulsion. You
can't afford to take a
substitute for It.
