OAKLAND, CAL, May 3.-To-morrow
afternoon at o'clock Benjamin Hill, the
wife murderer, whose appeal to the Su-
preme Court has been denied, will be bap-
TIED in the Methodist faith by DR.. Kun.
mer in the County Jail.
For several months Hill has professed
conversion, and A. B. Deming, one of his
spiritual advisers, has urged him to be
immersed, according to Scripture, but as
the Methodist faith allows either method,
the form known a, "sprinkIng" will be
used.
Contrary to the usual custom in such
cases, Hills iailers believe him to be SIM
cere, as he has practiced for several months
what he has preached. When his desire
for baptism was made known TO the Sheriff
he consented to allow the ceremony to be
performed in the jail. and DR.. Hummer
was selected to perform the service.
1.-THE reason | am to be baptized, SAID
Hill this morning, sis | believe the Lord
desires it. intend to obey the command
of Scripture, as am a Christian. Ii the
Lord wills l am ready to be hanged at
any time, but if not [ shall devote my
life to trying to save the souls OF the IN

HilPs attorneys are still trying to save
him from the gallows, and as soon as he
is resentenced Attorney Bradley will APP
ply TO the Governor for a Communication of
sentence In the meantime petition Is
being circulated on behalf of the con-
demned man.

hospitable qualification by giving an en-
ertainment in exact accordance with the
taste of her guest.
Mrs. Huntington is passionately fond OF
music, but prefers the quiet pleasures OF
the home circle to the delights of the
crowded drawing-room. Consequently
musical programme was necessity, and
a small gathering equally important Out
of her long visiting list of 900 Mrs. Darling
selected $50 favored names-no easy task
and with equal good taste provided for
the afternoon an excellent musical pro-
gramme.
The large drawing room of the Occiden-
tai was a beautiful picture with its ex-
ouisite decorations in honor OF the occa-
sion.
Glowing crimson, the artillery color was
used with exquisite and artistic effect.
Long streamers of crimson bunting
draped the walls, being fastened at regu-
lar intervals by golden stars. On the
mantei were roses galore and on the long
table from which the refreshments were
served deep red carnations made a most
elaborate decoration.
The hours of the tea were from to s,
during which ladies and gentlemen
crowded the rooms to listen to the excel
lent music and greet the distinguished
visitor. After O'Clock Mr.. Huntin ton
