REPRODUCTION OF SCENES OF
 THE LATE WAR.
Pyrotechnics and Special Features Will Unite the Parts of This
 Spectacular Display.

The spectacular pyrotechnic productlon of the Battle of Manila" at Central Park promises to be one of the great attrac- tions in the line of entertainments In the very near future. Neither money nor pains have been spared to present the seV- eral principal acts of the drama of the recent war with Spain in startling but realistic manner.
 The opening scene will show the har- Dor of Havana. On the shore the in habitants are presented as attending fete given by Governor General Blanco when the battleship Maine, It's decks crowded with officers. marines and sailors, steams proudly in and salutes the forts.

The ballet of the .bulllghters will also be executed. In this scene the famous Cuban premiere, Senorita EVange- line Ziqurina. will perform characteristic national dances. The destruction of the Maine concludes the first scene. This feature will be grand and realistic.

in this city on the Sth of September have not yet been completed but 1t Is asserted that 1t will excel that of the previous year. Daniel A. Ryan of Pacific Parlor will be the marshal on that occasion.
 The joint committee has arranged for number of trains to convey to San Jose. from this city and from Oakland, all the members and their friends and many strangers, who. it is expected will take advantage of the $1 50 rate that has been fixed for three days excursion. The tickets will be good from the night of the Sth until the 11th inclusive.
 pr. w. A. Gaston, who will be the grand marshal of the San Jose parade Is member of Observatory Parlor He speaks in terms of praise of the work that Is being done by the members of his parlor and those of San Jose and Palo Alto parlors in arranging for the big event. He says that 1t will surpass the celebration held there few years since and that not only are the Native Sons and the Native Daughters, but all classes are interesting themselves in having it said in the future that the San Joseans outdid themselves In their efforts to please.
 But a small portion of the day will be taken up in the parade on the 9th, as 1t Is not the desire of the grand marshal tO ildhS lle pdTllClpdulS IdRe a long tramp. The committee has arranged for the grand clambake al the Agricultural Park the 10th, and for the bulshead breakfast at Alum Rock. Tn the interum there will be an opportunity for the sev eral parlors that are to have headquar- ters to receive their friends and have in- dependent celebrations. The streets along the line of march will be lavishly decorated
 There was a large attendance of dele gates to the joint 9th of September cele- bratton committee meeting in Native Sons Hall last night
 The transportation committee gave an account of what arrangements had been made with the railroad company for spe- cial trains on the 8th of September and subsequently.
 Delegate Lees made the wonderful an- nouncement that one of the leading hotels in San Jose, instead of increasing its rates, had given notice that it had re- duced it's rates 50 cents.
 A proposition to throw the responsibil- ity of appointing ticket sellers on the transportation committee was defeated and the treasurer will name the ticket sellers.
 Grand Marshal Gaston made an appeal to the San Francisco parlors for music, and stated that there had been a change in regard to the bullshead breakfast and the clambake. The former will be given on Saturday instead of Sunday, and the latter will be on Sunday. He said the grand ball will be given in the pavilion In which the rose carnival was held.

eral of them had evidently made out
 bids expecting to do slipshod work, as
 had been the custom before. Several
 were compelled to make assignments, not being able financially to do the work on the specified lines and the eX
 pectant politicians interested got no "divvy," but the city of Cincinnati se- cured a complete first class repaving of her principal business and residence streets at the moderate cost of $4 ,000,O to the municipality and an additional S4000, 900 to the abutting property own CTS. The miles upon miles of granite and asphalt laid at that time is still in first class condition, but the contrac- tors who were beaten by the public at their own game have not yet recovered from that tired feeling.
 The example of the Cincinnatians may yet be followed by the taxpayers of San Francisco. who heve about reached the limit of their endurance of bold-faced steals. A careful watching of the contractors who may repave streets in this city-a comparison of their daily work with the specifications will tend to prevent the slipshod work which has prevailed Tn the past. The contractors will bc obliged to make the concrete bases of streets sufficient iy firm to prevent future sinking, and to spread two and half inch layer of btumen instead of a one and half inch layer-alWays supposing that the specifications are properly drawn and that the authorities pay attention to the complaints of citizen volunteer in- spectors regarding attempted viola tions of specifications. If each prop erty owner along the line of improve ments will constitute himself guard over the contractors a long step will be taken toward the inauguration of a new order of thir~s. The Call can al ways be depended upon to publish the substantiated statements of any citi zens regarding non-performance of conditions and specifications by con- tractors.

while not members of either organization, will visit the Garden City during the days of the festivities.
 In each of the local parlors the subject of the celebration has been discussed dur ing the past three weeks, and some of these have already completed their ar engagements. California Parlor No. 1 has secured headquarters in the Druids Hall In San Jose, and has adopted as uniforms for It's members, white duck pantaloons, light-colored neglgee shirts, with tie to match. and straw hats. It has secured the services of Blanchard's band On the afternoon of the 9th there will be a prom enade concert at headquarters. The mem bers of Buena Vista Parlor of the Native Daughters will be the special guests of this parlor.

It has secured headquar ters at the Vendome, and has arranged the following programme: Parades to the San Jose train on the night of the Sth of September; reception on that night in headquarters; on the morning of the 9th parade in San Jose, in uniform of dark coat and pantaloons, white vest, black tie, and straw hat. Each member will carry cane of California laurel; after noon, concert on the lawn of the hotel by the parlor's band of sixteen pieces; in the evening, grand ball in the hotel On the 10th the parlor will take part In the clambake at Agricultural Park, and on the 11th will go to Alum Rock, where bullshead breakfast will be served.
 Sequoia Parlor No. 160, ever alive and ready to support these annual ceebra- tions, will do all in it's power to present an attractive feature In the grand pa rade and to that end there has been a personal appeal to each member. The committee is of the opinion that Sequoia will not be in the background at San Jose. The members will wear white duck pantaloons, golf shirt, blue flannel coat, white yachting cap and white canvas shoes The Native Sons band, led by Professor Sousa Barton, will furnish the music on the occasion of the night parade and In San Jose During the coming week this parior will decide exactly what special feature 1t will have, and will also arrange the programme for the enter tainment of guests during Friday, Satur- day and Sunday in San Jose.
 Precita Parlor No. 1S will in the pro- cession be preceded by a drum corps, and the members will parade In the uni form that is worn by the men of the tropics The members wish it under stood that they will wear full uniform, and not what some of the navy wore at Manila recently-a pair of high-water pantaloons and a sweet smile. At San Jose the parlor will have string band and give concerts and dance at headquar- ters, having secured large hall
