AG1angements In Progress That
Should Make It Very Pop
ular Event.

UVeyyoaa b talking Of the great
charity concert and ball to be given at
the Capitol on Wednesday next. The
proceeds Of a charity concert and ball
Of course will go to the poor, and this
year there are more poor than usual.
It Is expected that from 1000 to 1000
people will take part in the ball, either
as dancers or spectators. A great many
will no doubt go for the music alone.

Club Is as wide as the State lines from
Sisktyou to San Diego and from the
Sierras to the-but the campaign is
over and this article Is about the char

Mandolin Club, and another club the
6aoramentans ought to oall the Banjo

on at the ball for a short time. Others
will attend the ball only.

is all 1t will cost. There will be no

rate brocade. Some ladies will wear
gowns en- train and others will wear
frocks Of ordinary length. Some gen.

be In equal good taste on this occasion,
the ioaa being to raise as large q sum
