rows of spectators, standing upon ve- hicles of all descriptions, thronging stairways and even climbing telegraph and telephone poles to catch a glimpse of the pageant. Many of the private houses along the line were gay with blue and gold decorations, and the morning was so summerlike that the street costumes of all were suggestive of midsummer.
 The parade was headed by a platoon of mounted police, preceded by a bugler CT tournament herald, picturesquely costumed in a white satin courier's costume, and mounted on a white steed decorated with saddle cloth of white rosebuds and smilax, intertwined about the animals neck. The police were in regular uniform, their steeds simply decorated with wreaths of srni- lax. dotted with yellow daisies.
 City Marshal J. s. Lacey acted as chief of this division. The tournament officers followed, headed by General Director NJ. s. Weight. These were eight in number, and they were cos tuned in white flannel trousers. black coats and vests, light slouch hats and ack leggings, and were mounted on

FROM POVERTY
 TO A BARONETCY
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 1-Clarence
 Danvers Davenport, young English
 man who has been leading a hand-to-
 mouth existence in Portland since Aug
 ust, has become baronet. He receiv-
 ed a cablegram to-day announcing the
 death of his uncle, Sir Richard Dan
 vers of Danvers Court, Lincolnshire,
 England, and informing him that he
 had succeeded to the estate and title.
 Money for the trip to England was
 telegraphed him by American agents
 of the estate, and he left tonight to take possession of his inheritance.
 After years of abject poverty, during
 which no one but himself knows how
 he managed to live, the change will
 be very acceptable.
 Davenport drifted into Portland last
 August. He had been in Chicago, San
 Francisco and a number of other American cities. He came to America
 from Australia. He brought a little
 money to Portland, but it was soon
 gone, and, although possessed of a
 fine education a noble aversion to
 earning his own living prevented him
 from seeking or obtaining work. How
 he managed to eke cut an existence
 will probably always be a mystery.
 His only acquaintance in Portland when he came was Editor Miller, of the Pacific Empire, whom he met in Chicago several years ago. Bit by bit MT. Miller learned his story. He had
 been born near his uncle's home in Lincolnshire. He left home when IS and for a time endeavored to earn his living by newspaper work in London Although several editors pronounced his work promising, and Jerome K Jerome advised him to stick to writ | ing, none of them expressed any will | lingness to employ him or purchase any | of his productions, and after a few | months struggling he gave it up and sailed. for Australia, and afterward came to America. He was a youth of elegant tastes and habits, but he was, nevertheless, forced to live an eXis- tence which he would have considered 1 too mean for the poorest peasant on | his uncle's estate.
 Just after reaching here he learned that the death of a cousin had left him heir to his uncle's estate, but as the
 baronet was a healthy old gentleman. 1 Davenport had little expectation of succeeding him for a good many years. He was too proud to let his family know of his poverty-stricken condition. although he kept up a regular corres- pondence with a brother. His address 1 thus being in the possession of his fam | fly, there was no difficulty in reaching him with the news that will change his life from that of a beggar to that of a baronet.

drawn by four grays and was entirely a floral entry, being a pyramid of roses and geraniums, surmounted by the em- blem of the order-an immense floral anchor and shield. This float won sec- ond prize, a handsome banner, as a float, and second prize, also a banner, as second best display by any society.
 Throop Polytechnic Institute made a fine entry-a six-in-hand coach drawn by handsome bays. The' coach was covered by dark yellow marigolds. with wheels of the same, and it was occu- pied by ten pretty maidens wearing white gowns, white capes, black poke bonnets with plumes and yellow acces- sories. Six mounted boy outriders ac- companied this entry, wearing pictur- esque white and black costumes. The harness was covered with yellow satin and the general effect was elegant. This took first prize in the six-in-hand class. and also for the best display out side of the public schools.
 Hotel Green entered one of the finest of the displays, a six-in-hand coach drawn by white horses with white satin harness. The coach was coy- cred by white and scarlet carnations.

SALINAS, Jan. 1.-The Grand Jury. created a sensation here last evening by bringing in an additional :. indict-. ment against ex-Tax Collector c. L.. Westlake. charging him with a short age of $S237 14 on the assessment roll of 1S96-7 He had already been :in- dicted on five counts for alleged short ages in the license department, on one: of which hewas acquitted after a trial.
 The Grand Jury severely. scores County Auditor George $. Miller for negligence which is so clearly in vio- lation of the law that it considers it. it's duty to file an accusation against him. Nothing has heretofore been said calling into question Miiler's abil- fty or integrity as an officer. The jury found a shortage of $101S 05 in Assessor Anderson's office, which it all lowed that official to make good.
 Judge Dorn issued a bench warrant. for the arrest of Westlake and fixed bail bonds at S10,000 He. is now in custody on the former charges, not having been able to furnish ball..

LIQUOR SENT
 TO PRISONERS Clever RuSe of a San Quentin Convict to
 Obtain Spirits.
Guard Sent to a Drugstore With a Greek Prescription to
 Be Filled.
It Called for Pure Alcohol and Asked That the Bottle Be Labeled
 "For Rheumatism"
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL. Jan. 1.-There is no the walls of the States penitentiary at San Quentin to conceive and carry into effect for the smuggling of opium or liquor past the prison walls. A clever scheme has just been thwarted at this place, by which liquors and pure alco- hol have been taken to San Quentin and given to convicts by persons con- nected with the penitentiary in an of- ficial capacity, but who were unaware of their part in the illicit transaction.
 There is convict whose name is given as Adams, who hass after hav- ing been detected, shown up the meth cd, which for it's simplicity comments itself. The convict has on several oc- casions sent prescriptions to San Raf
 ael by guards, and these have been returned by the guards, who believed that they were simply bringing medi- cine to the prisoner. The medicine" has been whisky and other spirituous liquors, and the convict has taken them incidentally
 Last Thursday one of the prison peo- pie came to San Rafael with a pre- scription to be filled. The man took it to Inman's drug store. He had been
 given it by the convict and did not know what it called for. In fact the prescription was written in Greek and Inman found it necessary to have it translated, appealing to Professor Kerr of the Mount Tamalpais Military Aca- denny. The professor readily made the contents known and to his surprise it read as follows:
 "One quart of alcohol. Please label | bottle For rheumatism; apply at | once" The convict's purpose was simply to [ I1a h %I,, label was to act as a deceiving inscrip- tion for the guard, who imagined that he was taking medicine instead of beverage that the rules of the penItefl-
 tiary prohibit inside the walls. The money accompanied the prescription. How many times the. convict had succeeded in obtaining. liquor niay never be known. The discovery of the Greek prescription. calling for pure aI- cohol will probably put a stop to. the. practice and medicine" at the prison will be carefully inspected.
