THE ENTERTAINMENT.
The LsdIes' Aid Society Scored Another
Success Last NIRht-Many Unique and
Pleasing Features Iatr0dueed.

The entertainment by the Ladies'
Aid Society of the Christian church
last night, was a success, both social
ly and financially. The program as
arranged and carried out, was all
that had been promised by the ladies
in charge.
A reporter dropped in the building
where the affair was being conduct
ed and the aggregation of beauty
and gallantry there assembled, was
a pleasing spectacle. There were
little misses, large misses, dignifed
mesdames, gallant beaux and sedate
married men.
There were many unique features
introduced during the evenings
entertainment, principal among
which, were the snow cave and the
Tom Thumb wedding. The cave was
an interesting study. 1t was in the
manner of tableau and had for its
character representations, a bevy of
young ladies in costumes to portray
as many features OF the rigid zone.
They were, Miss Birdie Downing,
Queen Snow; Miss Pet Jackson,
Goddess of Sun; Addie Williams,
North Pole; Miss Medora Seyfer,
Queen Frost; Miss Matte Crotzer,
Snow Bird; Miss Lena Gardenhire,
Evening Star; Miss Sallie Graham,
Night; Miss Birdie Eddleman, Silver
Morn Light; Miss Blanch Hardy,
Icicle. They formed a display Of
beauty most appropriately costumed.
The Tom Thumb wedding was
most interesting. The principals
were Master Willie Greenwood and
Miss Irene Dick, Master Guy Webb
performing the ceremony in true
ministerial style. The bride and
groom were attended by full retinue
of groomsmen and bridesmaids, but
their names could not be obtained in
full, so none of them are given.
The entire party was elegantly cos
tuned and each performed his or
her part to perfection.
The receipts of the evening from
all sources were S20.60 leaving net

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Congressman Curtis Expresses Himself
on the Dawes CommIssIon-Cheroke
Committee Walt on Delegate Flynn.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2O.-A
committee of the Cherokee Indians
waited on Chairman Flynn, of the
committee having in charge all mat
ters pretaining to the FIVE tribes,
Friday, for the purpose of arranging
for hearing. Chairman Flynn told
them that as yet there was nothing
before the committee, but as soon as
the Dawes commission arrived they
would doubtless prepare a bill look
ing towards some legislation, and
that when that bill came before the
committee the Cherokees would then
be given a hearing. 1t is now be-
lieved to be the intention of the
CherOkees to favor the appointment
OF a congressional committee to in
vcstigate the state of affairs in the
Cherokee Nation. This may be
done. Congressman Curtis, OF Kan
sas, a member of the committee on
Indian affairs, favors it. He sail:
"While ! have the highest respect
personally for the members of the
Dawes commission, / am strongly of
tie opinion that their report is one
sided. They went down there, and
Equestionably were not treated
right by the Indians, and this, l
think prejudiced them. The COM
mission has now outlived its useful
ness, and 1 am in favor OF its discon-
tinuance. l think a congressional
committee can settle this whole
matter"
As Mr.. Curtis is a member of the
committee on appropriations, the
emphatic declaration against the
commissions continuance may have
some effect. lie will probably op-
pose an appropriation for the com
mission, and il he carries his point
the commission, of course, will GO
out of existence.
Congressman Culberson has intro
dueed a bill authorizing the Chicka-
saw Indians to bring suit against the
I United States in the court of claims
for the recovery Of S1s4, ,143.O9 OF
trust funds, which It is alleged
were enormously dropped from the
I books of the United States.

THOROUGHBREDS, ALL.
Rancho del Paso's Coming Great Sale
of Yearlings.

On Tuesday and Wednesday next
there will be sold in San Francisco
fifty thoroughbred yearlings from the
farm in this county, the biggest and
best in the world.
These colts comprise the get of such
world-renowned sires as imp. Isling-
ton, imp. Clievenden, imp. Prestonpans,
Salvador, Morello, Torso. Fresno, Sir
Modred. imp. Kismet, imp. ST. An
drew, imp. Midlothian, imp. Anchorite,
Owas, Ben Ali. Tyrant, Fitz James,
imp. Darebin and imp. Maxim, out of
the most noted mares of America, dams
of the most celebrated winners on the
turf
J. B. Haggin has never allowed the
price of q sire to stand in the way of
his purchase for the Rancho del Paso
stud, hence it is not strange that he
should have secured the cream of the
thoroughbred stock of the two hemis-
pheres. John Mackey, Superintendent
of the Haggin ranch, has visited the
East and Europe frequently and select
ed the most noted sires and dams that
money could buy, and their progeny
can be had by anyone at comparatively
small cost.
The yearlings to be sold this week
are said to be "corkers." The sales will
take place at night in the Mechanics
Pavilion, commencing at 1:30 O'Clock,
and catalogues can be had of Killip &
Co, auctioneers, II Montgomery street,

the clergyman ascended the pulpit and
began to speak, the robin deliberately

of the chancel-screen, quite close to the

preached the louder did the robin sing.

A STUDENTS SUICIDE.

John G. Locke Ends His Life With a
Razor.
John G. Locke, student of the Cali.
fornia School of Mechanical Arts, COM
mitted suicide by cutting frightfuI cash
in his throat some time within forty eight
hours preceding the finding OF his body
by Captain Thomson of the park police
Yesterday morning. The body was in the
brush at the north side of the park, near
'49 camp, and from its condition the
Morgue officials judged life had been ex-
.tinct for something over day.
Locke, who was only about 20 years OF
age had been staying with brother also
a student, at the residence OF J. w. Place,
1928 Folsom street. Thursday night he
disappeared without previously giving
any indication of his morbid frame of
mind.
His friends can assign no cause for his
desperate act except mental arrangement,
induced by hard study. He was evidently
determined in his intention to end his
life, he having taken a pistol and a razor
with him. With the latter he gave him
self a slight cash across the wrist and
then inflicted a cut across the throat,
which the Morgue physician declares th e
most cruel he has ever seen.
The young mans family, with the ex-
ception of a sister, who is attending the
Normal School at San Jose, reside at
Lockeford, near Stockton. When found
there was bicycle cap beside the body.
It was also attired in bicycle shoes and
there was pants guard on one leg. The
bicycle was not discovered.
