horses in their silver trappings drew

young ladies, and seemed to enter into
the carnival spirit.
The little tots who gained honorable
mention made the most unique showing
in ali that grand parade. Little Rosalie
Bernheim rode like little queen in her
pony-cart, with Eddy Morgan driving the
bit of horsehesh-one of the smallest Shet-
land ponies that was ever attired in har-
ness. Little Rosalie is pretty child, and
the artifice of the decorator was expended
on the cart, which was transformed into
concha shell of carnival colors. The high
silk hat and livery worn by Master Nor
gan enhanced the attractiveness of the
unique and pretty turnout.

was decided, in addition to sending the
regular convention special to Sacra-
mento, to dispatch a train to carry
copies of The CALL to the merry makers at
the carnival, and accomplished the run in
the unusual time of hours and 5S min
utes, including two stops of fifteen min
utes each to repair damage to journals
caused by the high speed, and several brief
stops to drop off papers.
Deducting the time of stops from the
total time, it shows that III miles were
covered in 128 minutes, which is surely the
fastest railroad trip ever accomplished IN
California. Even the full time of hours
and So minutes beats all previous records
to Santa Cruz by over half an hour.

military presentation that has ever been
seen in California. Colonel Roster said
modestly that he had a great drill corps,
and he spoke truly, for the marching and
maneuvering before Queen Josephine
and her royal retinue and faithful sub
jects was wonderful.
The pyrotechnic disp lay outdid that of
the first night. The absence of booming
cannon-for there was no battle fought
to-night-gave full effect to the rockets
anu Roman candles and the hundreds of
small fireworks that were delight to the
adults as well as the children. Indeed, the
older people were children again for the
nonce and gave themselves up to the
pleasures of the night, determined to
have all there was of joy afforded by the
result of the careful work of Director

PRETTY BABIES IN FLOWER-DECKED
VEHICLES.
Handsome Women and Happy Men at the
Grand Ball Given by Her Majesty
Queen Josephine to Her
Loyal Subjects.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 1S-The sun
by day and the moon by night danced at
tendance upon Queen Josephine during
this second series of events of the great
Venetian Water Carnival.
The great audiences that witnessed the
various features were happy all day long,
and at night found added pleasure at the
arena and in the grand ballroom.
1t was long after midnight and almost
time to introduce the third days events
the presence of their Queen or leave the
interesting things that were a source of
attraction. Daylight's hours were de-
voted to pleasure, and throughout the
night could be heard the sound of laughter
and song from groups of persons filed
with the enthusiasm of the occasion.
The spirit of the music at the arena, the
brightness of the fireworks, which tonight
seemed to excel those of last night and
the echo of the singing clubs merry songs
on the river, mbined to make the clos
ing of the night of the second day one
that will be long remembered.
This afternoon, as she rode through the
city IN a canopied carriage drawn by
four beautiful horses. Queen Josephine
was escorted by 800 blue jackets from the
Philadelphia and Monadnock, headed by
the battalion band and by the WatsonviIle
Drill Corps with its band. Immediately
preceding Queen Josephine and her
maids of honor and pages, was Romeo
vieri's band.
The queen was attended by Admiral
Beardslee and his staff, Captain Cotton of
the Philadelphia and Captain Sumner of
the Monadnoek and their chief officers.
Director-General Bowman and the carni-
val officers, with Mayor Clark aud Judge
Logan, rode in the rear of the carriages oc-
cupied by the naval officers. The city and
county officials followed, and marked the
line between the dignified military and
the picturesque and romantic civilians.
The carnival parade was mile in length
and presented number of picturesque and
unique ideas. Every feature was a de-
cidedlv attractive one and no float or COM
pany of actors in the procession could
have been improved upon in the slightest
degree. No addition to that long line of
white battaIions, blue-coated drill cerps or
floral floats would have made it any more
enjoyable. 1t was a very pretty process
sion, having dignity in its bearing and
romance in its construction, as the thou
sands of people on the streets attested by
their approving applause.
There were not so many school children
in the parade as there were out of it. Pro
fessor Clark urged all the pupils in the
public schools to join in the pageant, but
most OF them expressed preference for
making the very best possible use of their
vacation time and went to see the show in
stead of becoming part of it.
The little ones who took part enjoyed it
and did themselves great honor and their
teachers great credit by their appearance.
They were generously applauded by their
schoolmates, who were among the specta-
tors.

The night was perfect. The cool of
evening afforded pleasant relief from
the warmth of the day, though
there was no time between the rising and
the setting OF the sun on this second day
of the carnival when there was discomfort
out or indoors. The various features of
the evenings entertainment would have
closed all too soon but for the fact that the
people were many of them eager to be
present when Queen Josephine appeared
in the ballroom at the great carnival
pavilion. But they had plenty of time to
listen to the music and witness the events
that were pictured by the great stereop-

DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.
Valuable Manuscripts Found Bearing on

tho History OF the Christian Era
Several most important discoveries have
just been made in Cairo bearing upon the
history OF the Christian church In the first
two centuries OF the era. Among them is
a manuscript from the ifth century which
is Coptic translation Of three original
gnostic writings of the second century.
Its value consists not only'in the fact that
10 hands down old gnostic writings that
have hitherto been unknown even by name,
but, above all, in the circumstance that
one of them was known TO lrenmus and
epitomized by him without any statement
of the source from which he had derived il.
The discovery Of this manuscript enables
us for tho first time 10 test the accounts OF
the gnostic system as given by the church
fathers in the light of the original manu-

business reported without delay. The
platform reported unequivocally en-
dorses the Chicago platform. reasserts
the demand of the Kansas Democracy
for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 1870 I; lauds Bryan
and Sewall as the true champions of the
peoples interests. and in conclusion de-
mands a resubmisslon of the prohibition
question TO the people of the state.
But II was in the report OF the COM
mittee on rules and Corder OF business
that all interest centered. To this com.
mittee had been delegated by common
consent. the work of planning n means

This committee reported that the con-
vention should select its presidential
electors. though not formally nominat-
Ing them, and that special committee
OF fiVe should be named TO wait on the
Populists at Abilene and effect a fusion
OF the two parties in Kansas In a word
the report recommended that the Demo
Gratis agree TO surrender everything but
the electors to the Popdl!sts, and to en-
dorse unequivocally the state ticket
nominated by the Popuiists, Including a
congressman -at-large, in return for an
endorsement by the Populists of the
Bryaa and Sewan electors.
The convention practically adopted
the plan by acelanatlon. There was
few delegates who wanted Democrat
representation on tEe state ticket, but
these We're lost sight Of being a very
small minority.
Judge Johnson, Democratic national
committeeman for Kansas. was selected

Immediately after this committee had
been named. tho convention adjourned
