AT A GYPSY
GATHERING.
Mrs. Walter Gives an Entertain

Miss heliman.

Miss Hellman, daughter of l. ". He'll
man. was the guest of honor at most
delightful entertainment given last even
ing by Mrs. D. \. Walter, al her residenc ce,
100 Van Ness avenue.
The nature of the affair was a complete
surprise to the guest, IS well as Miss He'll
man, and all present, 100 in number, were
charmed by the originality, charm and
p.ciuresqueness OF the entertainment.
The invitations asked the guests to meet
Miss Hellman lat gathering o gvpsies, -
and ali the ladies and the ma iority of the
gentlemen came in the picturesque garb
OF the Romany.
Mrs. Walter, assisted by her daughters,
received the guests in the main drawing
room, and after all had assemb bled the
dividing doors were thrown open and an
entrancingly beautiful scene disclosed. In
the center OF gypsy camp, wild, bizarre
and gorgeous, with hanging skins and
costly rugs, stood Miss Holman, the
newly crowned queen of the gypsies.
Fortune telling and other gyp~y pas
times were in order, and then a supper, in
happy accord with The surroundings, was
Sc! wed. After supper dancing was in or
der. This fete, which was entirely planned
by the hostess and carried out in detail bv
Miss Mary Bates, was quite the most novel
and picturesque of this season.

CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP.
The Young People to Take a
Hand in Political Man
ageme Mt.
Endeavorers to Try the Pacifcation
Process in Matters of Governing
this City.

A grand rally under the auspices of the
good citizenship committee OF the Chris
tian Endeavorers of Golden Gate Union
was held last night at the Trinity Pres by
teran Church, on Twenty-third and Capp
streets.
In an address of welcome the pastor of
Trinity. Rev. DR.. a. n. Carson, spoke on
the necessity of Christians taking an &C
tive part in the publication of politics in
large cities where boss rule and push pres
sure predomlnated. He held that it is the
duty of the young people 10 aid in edu-
eating the people in voting for none but
good men. And in this he was pleased to
see hat the Christian Endeavorers had
added this to their banner For, he said,
no man can be good church mem Der and
a bad citizen.
Rev. DR.. Charles E. Locke, pastor OF the
Central Methodist Church, spoke on the
objects OF the work mapped out by Golden
Gate Union as being in the highest sense
commendable. The country, he said, was
all right, but the large cities were in the
grasp of the devil. To correct this exist
ing condition it is the duty OF the church
to take hand in driving this monster
away. This he prophesied would be done
by the influence of the young people COM
posing the Christian Endeavor, who now
machinery of the nation.
To him, and TO all men who appreciated
the great privilege of being American citi-
zens, he knew OF no greater honor than
that CT being an American citizen, q
prince OF the earth.
He favored the drafting OF a resolution
commencing the action of Chief Lees in
removing the nickel-in- the-slot machines
from the cigar-stores and saloons.
c. A. Brown, chairman Of the commit
Tee, explained the modus operandi by
which the Christian Endeavor propose o
correct the existing evils growing out OF
the abuse of political bosses with the
masses whom they control. He did not
believe that San Francisco is the wicked
est city in the world, but yet, it is bad
bad enough and it can be made better. To
do this was the work mapped out by
Golden Gate Union. Already this
union has done considerable 10 correct ex-
isting evils by calling the attention of
Chief Lees 10 certain very bad places
At the conclusion of Mr.. Browns adj
DIRE ess.hve minutes time was given tossuch
members present rs desired TO give their

NOW SARDINE DOCEBRY.
He Will Soon Be After Firms
Who Can the Little
Fish.
He Is Reasonably Certain That the
Oil in Which They Are Put
Is Impure.

AS soon as numerousiy titled Uockery
gets through with the Inspection OF i'm
pure olive oil, which many grocers OF this
city insist on selling, he will have a sur
prise party for various people in and
around this city who are in the business
OF packing and putting on the local mar
ket what have been labeled and termed
sardines. TIE inspector is not quite posi-
tive that the sardines are not the genuine
article, but he is reasonably certain that
the oil in which the fish are packed is a
very poor imitation of olive oil and that
il s made Of mixture of cotIonseed and
mus ard seed oils.
When Dockery started after grocers who
sold impure olive oil determined to
follow the thing 10 the bottom, and all
canned goods in which olive oil is used
will be thoroughly inspected. He now
has in his possession samples of various
articles which he will submit o the
chem st for analysis. and is OF the opinion
that many OF them will fall far below the
standald d. The frst-class imported or
American canned sardines have always
brought good prices, and the fact that
many houses in this city advertise and
sell what are termed sardines for as low
as 3 cents per can has aroused the sus-
piclon OF the food inspector.
He has sta ed that he was aware of
three firms which are packing and selling
n ierior goods, and that as soon as he is
through with the grocers he will give
them a rally which will show them
that he is running the poor-food PROPOSE
ton, and that he wants all goods OF any
character kept up to a high standard.
The Inspector is already called 'Sar-
dines," and, as this is The seventeenth
title which he has possession Of he
should feel com parativelv happy.

AMONG The unions.
The Musicians Laying Plans
for an Active Gam
paign.
An Entertainment Given by the Bar
bers to Replenish the Sick
Fund.

The Musicians Union has for some time
past been working quietly against non
union musicians and those who employ
them. bur The fgnt has now taken a dif-
ferent turn. a list of all the meeting
nails in the city, together with the names
of the organizations which occupy them,
his been obtained, and i. was soon discov-
cred that the lessees of several of these
buildings hire non-unIon musicians 10
furaish music in part OF the building,
while the remaining rooms are let out TO
trades unions for meeting lac,s. The
le,sees OF these build ings III all be re-
que ted to make their peace with the
mus clans, ana in case they refuse the
unions VIII all move out. a crusade will
also b. organized against all concert halls
employing non-union musicians.
Next Thursday the annual election of
officers takes place, and the contest will
be a hot one. S. Davis, J. "A. Keogh and
J. Matheson all aspire for the office OF
secretary, which Mr.. Davis has held dur
ing the past year. a short time ago he
led q vigorous campaign against certain
member3 of the union that were sus-
pected OF playing under The schedule
rates. An investigation showed that
many had violated the rules and were
playingfor almost any price they could
get. TIE result was that heavy fines were
imposed and those who are still smartlng
under them will make a determined e.
fort TO turn Davis out.
A very pleasing entertainment was
given in Union-sQuare Hall last night
by the Journeymen BARRIERS Union. The
entertainment opened with a clever one
act farce entitled My Neig b boris Wiie"
which was followed by a mum bar of pleas
ing vaudeville speciaIties. At the close
o. the entertainment the floor was cleared
and dancing was kept up until an earIv
hour this morning. The committee who
so successfully managed the affair were:
J. r. Belly, Il. F. Shinn, +. +. Plato, J.
D. Ellis and l. Less. The floor com mlttee
consisted of J.. A. MCCosk e. A. Less. NJ.
