Los ANGELES HERAID SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL q. 1855

Frank Pierce, the inspector-general of the
southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish rite.
is amongst the most prominent workers,
and by his devotion to matters which have
been placed in his hands several obstacles
have been overcome and the prospects ma
terially frightened.
Charles l.. Pierce is at the head of af'
fairs in Oakland, where he is doing grand
work, the people of the Athens of the Pa
cific vieing with those on the other side
of the bay for honors. The number of
large merchants who will contribute grows
very rapidly. w. & ]. Sloane & Co., the
great furnishers, will fit up a $1,000 bel
room, which they will present to the festi-
val; Tillman & Bendel will give $4,000 of
their specialties; Hale Bros, the we'll
known dry goods house, have decided to
make a great display from their immense
stock: Wellman, Peck & Co. will give some
1000 cans of Calumet baking powder, etc.
and in fact nearly all the prominent firms
will be represented in some way. And all
this in aid of one of the most worthy char
tiles that California knows of. The Wild
ows and Orphans home will most certain
ly be helped in a generous way by this
festival, and those who are in San Fran
cisco during the week will find that great
hospitality for which the Masonic frater
nifty is so notable.
