and upon the background will be beautiful
floral decorations. On the opening day of
the carnival roses will form the chief dec
orations, and the pillars and other por-
tions of the building will be profusely COW
cred by these flowers. On the other days
there will be decorations of sweet peas,
marigolds and other fewers. To make i'm
pressive effects there will be great masses
of the same kind of flowers in all available
positions. Banks of flowers of gorgeous
hue like marigolds, for instance. will pro-
duce striking effects.
The great ceiling of the pavilion will be
wide expanse of evergreen and floral dis
play. The effect can be better imagined
than described, and the reality will far ex-
ceed all expectations. Around the Stage
beautiful sunburst effect will be produced
with flowers of different colors. This de-
sign is especially artistic, it being in so
prominent a position in front OF the great
multitude that will throng the hall during
the four days of the fete.
There will also be many flags, carnival
colors and bunting generally IN the inter

deliberately decorated with evergreens,
flowers and flags. The pavilion, as being

VISAL|A SAfE-CRACKERS,
Robbers Blow Open the Puget
Sound Lumber Company's
Strong-Box,
They Carry Away but Small Sum
in Money and the Office
Typewriter.

VlsALIA, CAL, April g. Safe blowers
made successful onslaught on a safe in
the Puget Sound Lum ber Company's office
at o'clock this morning. Not satisfied
with the small sum it eontained-only
$15-the cracksmen carried away a type
writer (machine).
When Manager Gather approached the
office at IL o'clock to-day he noticed that
the inside blinds were down, and at once
surmised that something was wrong. On
opening the door he saw the wreck. One
half stick of giant powder and small tin
tube were all that was left by the robbers
for the officers TO work on, unless the size
and shape of No. footprint that was
found in the yard will be of any use.
While one or more of the cracksmen
were at work on the safe their team was
hitched outside. and confederate was on
the lookout. Several residents living near
heard the noise when the strong box was
blown open, but thought it was pile of
lumber falling before the wind. Night
Watchman Byrd also heard the noise.
Thinking 1t was made by the closing of an
iron door in the rear of a mercantile house
he made an investigation. The team was
heard going down the street, and then all
was quiet.

THE YOSEMITE TRAGEDY.
Heighbors of Lambert, the Murdered
Entomoiogist, Charge the Crime
to Indians

MERGED, CAL, April 26-J. II. Red
mond, Coroner of Mariposa County, was
here to-day. on his way to San Luis
Obispo to attend the Grand Parlor of
Native Sons. He had just returned from
near the Yosemite Valley, whittier he had
been called to hold an inquest on the body
of j. B. Lambert, the entomologist, who
was found dead in his cabin last Sunday
by Indians. The inquest developed the
fact that Lambert died from a gunshot
wound in the head. From the condition
of the body it is surmised that he had been
dead about two weeks. The one who COM
mitted the murder closed and locked the
cabin door on the outside with q paddock.
1t is hard to assign a motive for the
deed, as Lambert was poor man and was
quiet and inoffensive, having had no
known enemies. His neighbors charge
the murder to Indians.
Lambert was a chum of John Muir when
the latter was pursuing his studies of tho
glaciers IN the Yosemite Valley some
wears ago,

was in early days overrun by bears, and

Of dollar brought the plea that the gift

In the line of energetic turbulent, pro-
fessional begging and fortune-telling, the
women of this band cannot be equaled in
America. The men merely look on and
take care of the horses and the camp
equipage.
In conversation with CALL representa-
tive the leaders denied that they had
stolen from the people of Santa Barbara
or that they had committed any depreda-
tions in California. They said that they
had travelled from Brazil by way of the
Isthmus and they were bound for San
Francisco. They could not tell what they
would do at San Francisco, but it is ap-
parent that gypsy life is their permanent
condition.
The number of the adults appeared to
be from thirty 10 fifty, but not ell, were in
camp, and the statements they made were
conflicting. A lot of children were play
ing about the camp and more were slowed
away in the wagons. One young woman
was asked how much of a family she had
Replying that she had ten children, who
incidentally were starving, she was re-
warded with a dime. Instantly she as
serted that she had fifteen-.en boys and
five girls-and she begged accordingly for
another nickel.
These gypsies, if gypsies they should be
called, are a poor. degraded-looking lot.
The women are dressed raggedly and they
travel without shoes. The band is headed
for San Luis Obispo, and the local authori-
ties will be asked to keep them out of
town during convention week.
This evenings train from San Francisco
was an hour late, and the main body of
delegates did not arrive until 6 80 O'Clock.
The whole town had turned out to meet
the visitors, and hundred or more of the
Native Daughters were in the throng.
The engines hauled the Native Sons train
10 the station, and while the $50 delegates
and their friends we're alighting the music
of the valiant brass band was lost in the
cheering. There were greetings and hand
shakings throughout all Ithe crowd, and
then line was formed and march to

the Fifth Regiment band assisting the
local organization.
"Viva los osos!' was the cry along the
street, and by the Spanish name of the
bears was meant the natives. Everybody
shouted the motto, while the procession
OF men, women and children filed the
sidewalks and roadway for third of
mile. The motto is suspended over each
of the central streets, and it is illustrated
by broad representatives of the grizzly,
realistic in size and color. The bear is the
general emblem here, and "Viva los osos"
will long remind the Natives OF their con-
vention in San Luis Oblspo.
This evening was given up to the infor-
mality of individual welcomings. The
opening session of the grand parlor will be
held tomorrow forenoon. On Tuesday
forenoon the parade will be held, with the

to an end yesterday. After an examination
which has been stretched out for more
than month, in which every detail of
the remarkable case has been gone into
with the utmost minuteness. Judge Otis
rendered decision which remanded Judge
Huse to the Highlands institution.
The case has been stubbornly fought
from the first; no similar hearing in a ny
court has ever been more thoroughly in
vestigated, and in the opinion, which
Judge Otis was an hour in delivering, ne
reviewed everylfeature of the case, dispos-
ing of the grounds on which the petition
was founded and ended by denying the
writ.
Judge Otis stated that all other consider
ations would be laid aside in the decision
except the question as to whether Judge
Huse was now insane and, if so, whether
to an extent that would make it unwise to
release him. The court took up the vari-
Gus delusions attributed to Judge Huse,
and admitted them one by one.
Judge Otis declined to class the belief on
the part of Judge Huse that he had vast
property interests as delusion. for the
reason that it had not been proved to be
mistake. When it came to the question
of the broken ribs which Huse insisted he
sustained at Highlands, Judge Otis said
that from the testimony of physicians this
was deluslon, since an examination de-
veloped no evidence of such injury
The court elaborated on some of the
other alleged delusions, upon the habits
and idiosyncrasies of Judge Huse, and
finally gave it as his opinion that it would
be unwise to release him. At the same
time Judge Otis stated that he had rarely

DEL MONTE. CAL, April 26.-The sew.
enteenth annual excursion of the Hotel
mems Mutual Benefit Association, which
left the East two weeks ago, has proven to
be the most successful since the organiza-
ton of the association. To-day the hap
piness of the party reached its zenith.
The main feature OF the programme was
the trip around the famous seventeen
mile cypress-drive. The weather was de-
ightfuI and old Sol shone in all his glory
on the heads OF 500 of California's guests
and their entertainers.
Coaches, carriages and tally-hos began
to arrive from every direction at o'clock
this morning to convey the people around

their enthusiasm by three long and hearty
cheers for Manager Arnold, Mr. Douty
and Mr.. Bowers.
All afternoon the tankhouse was filled
with bathers, While others enjoyed the
beautiful walks, the missions and the
beach.
This afternoon Father Maestros of the

San Francisco nine hours ride away,
and there is q road that extends down
through the county and leaves passengers
at the beginning of the forty-mile stage
route from Los Olivos to Santa Barbara.
Yet San Luis Obispo, the sunny little
town encircled by high, green hills, seems
shut away from the rest Of the world, and
it is easy for the dreamer to here forget
the noise, the hurry and confusion of life
in the business towns.
This Sunday morning was bright and
beautiful as the sun climbed over those
eastern hills. There never was more
glorious weather in any land. There could
not have been more quiet spot on earth
up to the hour of the morning ringing of
the Mission bells. But a change soon
came. The Native Sons of the Golden
West are to meet in convention here to-
morrow, and San Luis Obispo is the capital
OF the Golden West this week. So the
townspeople arose at the ringing of the
early bell and resumed the work of dec
Grating their homes and places of busi-
ness. The rain of Friday and Saturday
had necessitated postponement, which is
the apology given for the seeming viola
ton of Sabbath rule in this Sabbath-Iike
town.
The natives have chosen San Luis Obispo
as their meeting place for the first time.
and the people are making great endeav-
oTs to give them an appropriate reception.
Ats o'clock this morning the military
band marched in uniform to the railroad
station. 1t played lively air of welcome
when large delegation of the natives ar
rived from the steamer st. Paul, and it
played again to greet delegates who came
on the Southern train.
Most of the people who were passengers
on the st. Paul had been at the flower fes-
tivals in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
Their voyage up the coast from San Pedro
was enlivened by several unusual Incl
dents, and these incidents are being relat-
ed to everybody in San Luis Obispo TODAY.
st San Pedro there was wedding. Mrs.
Kate PARCEL of San Francisco, woman of
middle age, arrived on the st. Paut to meet
man whose matrimonial advertisement
she mad answered. She waited on board
the steamer until her prospective husband
called and introduced himself. There
was public declaration of mutual salts
faction, and then as the man and woman
started away to find clergyman the
ships entire stock of rice followed, with
the good wishes of the Native Sons.
When the steamer turned out from
Santa Barbara, a tramping crook, without
ticket or money, was encountered bv Mate
Hall. A combination like that always
causes trouble. The steamer stopped and
backed up, and the tramp was hoisted out
over the railing. Dangling at the end of
the rope, the man was swung high in the
air and then low cred. He missed the dock
by about two feet and the bath that he
received was something to which he was
unaccustomed.
An hour later, when the st. Paul was
plowing at full speed through the quiet
sea and three or four miles out from the
point on which the lighthouse stands, the
fire alarm was sounded. The mate ran
forward, the chief engineer jumped to his
post and every officer and member of the
crew responded hurriedly TO the summons
of the whistle and bell. The steafne

crew we'll trained in the lowering of the
boats and in fire duty. But there was an
entirely unexpected outcome of this drill.
Down in the stee rage were six big.
brawny man-of-warsmen from Admiral
Beardsee's flagship, the Philadelphia.
These exceptionally able seamen had
served their time in the navy, and
still in their blue uniforms, they were
on their way to San Francisco, either to
ship again or be discharged.
After remaining three hours ashore at
Santa Barbara they had brought a supply
of beverages aboard the ship and the sup
ply was about exhausted when the fire
alarm was sounded. The sailors knew the
signal and every man of them went up the
ladderway as only sailor can. On deck
they found officers and crew briskly
getting the boats ready to lower, and not
pretending that it was only a drill
they jumped at the ropes. One of them
lost his round lettered cap overheard in
the exciting rush. One additional sailor
of the flagship variety at each boat made
the drill q highly successful one, but it was
a wonder that the boats did not get into
the water before the earnest work of the
big marines could be stopped.

last evening, the Brazilian gypsies were
encountered. The gypsies were mped
