row. The fronts of the buildings in the
business section are masses Of evergreens
and bunting, and the streets are lined
with streamers of banners and flags, and
at the cross streets lines of evergreen cross
each other. Never before has the Garden
City been so gayIy decorated, and the
work of the decoration committee is be-
ing highly commended,
The three great street arches have been
covered with moss and vines and flags,
and the myriads of flowers with which
they will be frightened will be added
early in the morning. The great electric
tower has been covered with foliage, and
flags have been placed at frequent inter-
walls over the immense structure.
The inside has been lined with 1900 feet
of red. white and blue bunting, and in the
center an immense horn of plenty is sus-
pended. The whole combines an imposing G
view, and is the most novel feature of q
flower show ever seen on the coast.
The decorations of some of the business
houses are unique and novel, and display
great taste. Along the line of march many
residences have been beautifully garbed.
Taken all in all the city is mass of ever
green's and flowers and flags and bunting,
and every body is ready to extend hearty
welcome to the thousands of visitors who
will be in attendance tomorrow at the
great flower show.
With the evening trains crowds of
strangers came to town from San Fran
cisco and Oakland and towns around the
bay. Busy little groups of men and ladies
blocked the way here and there while
decorating. Even Old Probabilities so far

WHY YOU HAVE
Blood Poison.

blood POISON Is MANIFESTED BY
I'D some local disease of the skin. 1t may
be sores, pimples or scaly condition of the
skin. If you have any form of skin dis
ease your blood is poisoned. When all
organs and different elements of the body
are healthy nature rebels against ali infec-
ton.
To keep the different organs and tissues
in healthy condition your stomach must

ceptible to the many different diseases of
the blood.
JOYS Vegetable Sarsaparilla clears the
stomach, stimulates the glands that Sc.
crete the digestive fluids and keeps these
glands in healthy condition. By the
moderate use of this wonderful tissue re-
builder and digestive stimulant you can
have pure blood and a perfect immunity
from blood poisons. If you are suffering
from any form of skin disease purify your
blood. Chronic ulcers on the limbs are
indications of impure blood. Eczema,
rough skin, pimples, all tell your blood is
impoverished.
Your liver must work to perfection, as
the secretions from the liver digest all
fatty food that is taken into the alimen-
tarv canal. Undigested fats in the ali
mentary canal decompose and are absorbed
into the blood, thus causing many disa-
greeable diseases OF the blood and skin.

PARADE AND ENTERTAINMENT.

WATSONVILLE, CAL, May 5.-This
city is in gala dress to-day in honor of the
visiting delegates to the eighth annual
session of the California Grand Court of
the Foresters of America, which opened
this morning at 10 o'clock. The business
houses and private DIV ellings seem to vie
with each other in the quantity of decora-
tion. The Stars and Stripes are every
where, framed in setting of evergreens,
and the streets are almost vaulted with
banners. The good people of this burg
are evidently determined to prove that the
hospitality for which they are famed by
other orders which have convened here
has not grown less.
The Grand Court was formally opened
by Grand Chief Ranger A. Orfila, and after
the appointment of the various commit
tees adjourned until 4 o'clock. At 1
o'clock a parade was formed by Grand
Marshal w. NJ. White in the following Or
der:
Police force, under command of their Chief.
Grand Marshal and Aids.
Watsonville City Band
Watsonville Drill Corps, commanded by
Colonel J. a. Roster
Watsonville Fire Department.
Pajaro Valley Band.
Monterey County Delegations of Foresters,
Fraternal Societies of Watsonyille.
Visiting Delegates.
Santa Cruz City Band.
Companions of the Forest in carriages.
The Mayor and City Trustees.
The line of march was quite lengthy,
and the visitors who have labored under
the impression that WatsonvilIe was
small place have very materially changed
their minds.
After the parade the visiting delegates
were addressed by Hon. A. B. Chalmers,
Mayor of Watsonville, who bade them a
hearty welcome to all the good things and
extended the freedom of the city. The
hospitality was accented by Hon. A. Orfila
on behalf ofthe Grand Court.
at o'clock the convention was called
to order, and upon the Recommendation of
the committee on credentials 174 delegates
were seated. The time limit was sprung
on the numerous orators, and each will be
compelled to do all his speech-making
within five minutes. This will be hard
ship to those Of loquocious tendencies, but
it will shorten the session considerably.
In the evening splendid entertainment
was given in the opera-house.
There are several i'm portant changes
contemplated at this session. 1t is almost
certain that the annual meeting will be
changed to biennial. Almost every dele
gate has been instructed by his court to
support that proposition. The great
expense incurred by the annual session
has necessitated high per capita tax and
the subordinate courts are making a de-
cided stand in the line of retrenchment.
Another proposition which will be
brought up will be that of making San
Francisco the permanent place of meeting.
Tomorrow the election of officers takes
place and the wire pullers' are very
much in evidence tonight in the hotel
corridors.

the Mexican troops under Ygnacio Zara-
goza defeated the French under the gen.
erals of the foreign invader in five sue
cessive battles.
As a result the Austrian Prince, Maxi
milan, was driven from his imperial
throne. on which the French had placed
him, and with the removal of the French
army in response to the enunciation of the
Monroe doctrine the Mexican republic
was leftintact. Mexicans everywhere hail
the "Cinque de Mayo" as Landmark of in
dependence and it is observed with befit-
ting ceremonies. This afternoon the
Mexican population with its friends cele-
brated the day at the hall at 73O Buena
Vista street. Speeches were made by J.
Marion Brooks, R. F. Sepulveda, K. F.
Del Vale. R. J. Dominguez. W. P. Hyatt,
Cantain j. S. Redona, Frank Dominguez,

and social organization of which A. G.

president, and Captain Redona secretary.

League. Judge Stephens was in the fore
front of the harbor fight from the start,
and is better posted, probably, than any
other man, save alone Senator White on
this question. He is very confident that
the friends of San Pedro will be able to
checkmate Huntington's raid on the Ma

not like to be seen going to and from his

steered into the ladies' parlor, from which
here is an entrance TO the sly old looter's
apartments, and his willing tools are thus
able to come and go without arousing the
suspicious OF other inmates of the house.

among them. The Populist Senators, by
the way, have acquitted themselves nobly
in every instance where a conflict has
arisen between corporate influence and
the people. They feel outraged over the
brazen attempt to foist harbor appropri-
alton upon the people OF Southern Califor-
MIA which has never been asked for by the
representatives of the district in either

selves, and in direct contravention of the
recommendations of three separate boards

job will never succeed with the aid of the
Popllist votes in the Senate-that is GER

ITO Senator Perkins also is due great
praise for the noble stand he has taken in
this fight which has almost been made a
party issue in certain quarters. Although
allowing Senator White to bear the brunt
of the battle, Senator Perkins is uncom-
promising in his feaity to San Pedro, and
he may be depended upon TO exert his best

BLOOMERs NoT nm FAVnR-

MANY persons have found by ex
perience that bloomers are not the
most comfortable for women cyclists,
says well-known wheel-woman. In
the first place, the quality of cloth
makes the bloomers unbearable in hot
weather, and it is impossible to keep
them clean The dirt and dust that
come in between the plaits, and folds
necessitating incessant brushing. and
they never look really clean, especially
when made i'm dark colors. On the
wheel they neither improve a bad fig
ure nor show off a good one. No
woman with a good figure should hide
il in bloomers, and there is hardly a
first-class tailor who would willingly
undertake to make them for figures
good or bad"
