"A Pair Of Kids"

This musical pantomine farce which
is to be the attraction at the opera
house on SATURDAY, May 9Th, is said
TO easily distance all competitors in
laughing features, and comes to us
from fresh conquests over the risibil-
tiles of the amusement loving public
that have eclipsed all its records of
the past ten seasons. The character
of Jiles Button, which MI. Kendall
has made so familiar to the theatre
going public during a run Of ten
years, is a vertiable old country Jay
with all the backwoods nominees and
characteristic awkwardness that could
be installed into such a character
as grotesquely humorous as he is
thoroughly original. The kids" is
spoken Of by our exchanges as being
funnier than ever.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

We have several inquiries how to play
match game club against club. John L.
Mitchell, father of duplicate whist, is the
one we always go to for such information.
He advises modification of the PRO
gressive tours" game, as follows. The
Trist Club conduct all their games this
way:
The players of club No. sit north-south
at the odd numbere tables, east-west at
the even, while the players of No. 2 club
sit east-west at the odd tables, north-south
at the even. No. 1 club sits still during
the game, while the players OF No. move
from each pair of tables to the next higher
mum bered pair of tables after playing
eight hands, and the boards or trays con-
tanning the hands are passed to the next
lower numbered two tables. Four original
hands are dealt at each table, and are
passed from the odd numbered tables to
the next higher even. and from the even
mum bers to the next lower odd, before be-
ing passed to the next lower two tables.
If it IS desired that each team OF one
club should play against every team OF the
other club only two boards are started
originally at each table, and after four
boards have been played the east-west
players OF the moving tours change places
with the north-south players at the next
higher table, and then play the other Jour
boards of the set
Players at the last two tables move to
the first boards as the first two tables are
passed to the last.
In answer to the questions in regard to
whist instructions in San Francisco we
will state that the Whist Editor of THE
CALL has been rendered the use OF the

other well-known champion of the white

This would insure his election, for he would
divide the Republican Congressman into two
bodies known as the ''free silver caucus" and
the "gold standard caucus" and after limited
number of ballots had been taken on party
lines in the House of Representatives he
would be elected President.
Two-thirdy of the States in the Union are

every precinct where the free silver senti.

Sacramento, and was surprised to receive
word that Addie had left several days

about her, but none remembered seeing
her. Mrs. Herzog waited in the hope that

the society.
Mrs. Herzog was informed yesterday
that a girl answering Adde'S description
had been seen at Santa Cruz and that she
was in training there as maid of honor
to the queen at the approaching water
carnival. The society wired to the Chief
of Police at Santa Cruz asking him to In

ON THE AMERICAN PLAN
How Mrs. Fong Fung Regulated
Her Nephew's Wedding
Feast.
A Unique Chinese Marriage Cele.
brated at the hodist
Mission.

The Methodist Mission, on Washington
street, was the scene of unique Chinese
wedding last night.
Ngan Kuk was the bride. Five years
ago she was rescued from slavery and
brought into the home, and since that
time, little by little, she has learned
Western ways and has abjured her idols,
her ancestors and her heather customs.
But, however much a Chinese girl may
become Christianized there are generally
several points of Monaghan etiquette
which she expects to observe RICHLY at
her wedding. On that occasion if on no
other she will paint her face, adorn her
head and put on attire more gorgeous
than peacocks tail. She will also refuse
the daintles of the marriage feast and re-
fraIn from casting even a sidelong glance
at the bridegroom.
When Ngan Kuk accepted the hand
ana heart of Chan Hay, convert of the
mission, she expected that her wedding
feast would be as regal as the circumstances
of the groom would permit but fate, in
the shape of the gentleman's aunt, willed
otherwise. 1t is Chinese custom that
when a man who is about to get married
has mother she shall manage and con-
troll all the arrangements for his wedding.
There are so few mothers-in-law in China.
town that this custom has almost fallen
into allowance.
Chan Hay had no mother, but ne had
an sunt-Mrs. Fong Fung-who has al
| ways been to him as parent, and this
lady made her presence felt at last nights
wedding. She is the wife of well-to-do
| Chinese merchant, and has been a consist
ent member of the Methodist Episcopal
| church for six years.
department, and she considers Chinese
custom and etiquette little short of sinful
1t was owing to Mrs. Fong Fung's reli.
| gious scruples that the bride wore no
| finery last night, and was simply arrayed
in a blue blouse and black shirt, with
neat but not gaudy EN- broidery. The
groom's attire was marked by the same
| absence of extravaganza in dress, and as
for Mrs. Fong Fung herself nothing could
| have been simpler than her attire. She
was almost Chinese tailor made lady.
Rev. DR.. Masters, the head of the mis-
| sion, performed the ceremony and
| throughout the whole proceedings were
conducted on the American plan, without
| the least particle of heather custom or ETH
quette. There were about $50 American
feast which followed the wedding, they
all, the bride included, sat down in the
big schoolroom of the mission to prettily
decorated tables and partook of light re.
freshments prepared in American style.
People declared it was the most unique
Chinese wedding they had ever witnessed.
