G. A. r. DELEGATES
Are Enjoying Themselves at the An
nual Encampment

NEVADA, CAL, April 2O.-The delegates
to the Grand Army encampment gave up
today to enjoyment. The parade in the
forenoon was one Of the largest and most
brilliant ever seen in Northern California.
The veterans had an escort, Col. Guthrie
of the Second infantry regiment and STAN
and two companies of militia, the Native
Sons and knights of Sherwood Forest Of
this city and Grass Valley, three companies
of volunteer firemen and $50 brightly uni
formed children from the public schools.
Two bands and drum corps furnished the
music. At almost ever step the old soldiers
were greeted with cheers by the 5000 people
who lined the streets. This afternoon most
of the visitors were taken to the gold mines
near this city and afforded every opportu-
nifty to inspect the operations in all depart
merlts, many Of them being nearly 1000 feet
under ground.
Tonight the various branches Of the
Grand Army organization reconvened. The
ladies of the G. A. r. and Sons of Veterans
transacted routine business, the Ladies Re-
lief Corps held memorial services and an
exemplification of the secret work and the
G. A. r. veterans held an extended session.
Tonight the encampment elected J. q.
Campbell of Stockton, r. F. Crawford of
Santa Rosa, Charles Z. Wilson, ]. C. Cur
rier and w. ]. Ruddick of San Francisco
as members of the Veterans Home asso-
ciation. Currier and Ruddick succeed
themselves.

soon thereafter. Colonel A. 8. Kimbalf,
chief quartermaster of the department Of
the East will open bids at New York for
the charter of steam vessels for this SER
vice. 1t Is believed he will have no diff
Guilty in securing a sufficient number of
first-class steam vessels of good speed for
the transportation of the army to be sent
to Cuba.
1t is explained by Assistant-Secretary
Mieklejohn that the department has
deemed it advisable to charter rather than
purchase the ships it may need for the
transportation Of troops, and all vessels
engaged will be assembled at the various
points on the Atlantic seaboard and the
gulf coast most convenient for the en-
barkation of troops.
Roosevelt's Successor
NEW YORK. April 2O-Rear Admiral
John G. Walker, retired, may be the sue
cessor of Theodore Roosevelt as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald. Rear
Admiral Walker has been a member of the
Naval Strategic Board and is thoroughly
in touch with the plans of attack and de-
fense prepared both by the war and navy
departments. His experience in command
of naval squadrons, his handling of delicate
diplomatic questions in the past and his
general and varied knowledge of naval re-
quirements peculiarly fit him, his friends
declare, for appointment as Mr.. Roose-
velts successor.
Continuing, the Herald's correspondent
says:
There is reason to believe that fourth
squadron for the protection Of the cities
of the gulf coast may be formed by the
Navy Department. This force probably
will act as the southern patrol squadron
like the northern patrol squadron, OF
which Commodore ]. A. Howell has been
placed in command. In case It is finally
determined to form gulf patrol squadron.
it's headquarters probably Will be fixed at
New Orleans, where fears are entertained
for the safety of the levees OF the Missis
sippi river. These levees could be destroyed
without much difficulty by an enemy, pro-
vided he could reach them. and the DEPART
ment does not intend to allow him to get In
a position to do damage by this means.

by Spain to the Presidents ultimatum

such style and at such price rs to
render it inaccessible to the woman
whose pocketbook is not we'll filed
The latest and most fashionable combs
are small, of shell or amber, handsome
ly decorated with finely cut steel.
Sometimes the steel is merely IA narrow
band of beads; again it is arabesque, or
painted, or rounded, or a series Of flower
de-luce Or clover leaves. The variety is
imitIess and as they are expensive and
not very easily copied in a cheaper comb
they are considered very chic.
The matron or maiden who possesses
a stock of unset gems has her combs Of
gold or silver set with precious stones,
and many women who are known to be
the owners of beautiful jewels and who
would never be suspected Of wearing an
imitation gem buy the almost perfect
cOunterparts of their real gems which
are shown in the shops in order to pre-
serve their more expensive combs. They
urge in explanation that the combs are
SO apt to fall out of the soft, fluffy rolls
of hair.
Amber combs just at present seem to
be more in favor than the darker shell,

light or real blond hair The most up

stones for evening wear, and if careful

her mount with more safety for herself
at the jumps by riding man fashion
than was possible with the regulation
side saddle.
Nevertheless the other women looked
at her frowningly, and her father open

men did not regard her with favor, and

DemIseason Costumes.

1t has now become the fashion to
have what are called demiseasOn cos
tunes, and not only gowns, but hats as
we'll. This is decided innovation, for
in olden times it was only considered
necessary to provide oneself with thor
Ough outfits for summer and winter,
as careful looking after and apparently
Just as many clothes. In the early
spring and early autumn people former
ly did not mind looking little shabby.
Now it is expected that not only should
the gowns that have been worn for some
time be freshened up, brushed and re
furnished, but it is required that abso
lutely new gowns shall appear. Fortu
nately, while such gowns must be smart
and new and give a hint of what the
style of the coming season is to be, they
are not necessarily expensive.
Light wool goods are greatly i'll favor
for the spring demiseason. They are
little too light in color AZ we'll as in
texture to wear i'll the street until the
spring fairly sets in, but they are very
charming for house wear. Those seen
now are mostly i'll the wood colors and
the gray. The hats are all what might
be called decorative in effect, quite gaudy
and as rule of light felt Besides these
light colored gowns and gaudily trimmed
hats there are also many very charming
wraps and few velvet gowns. These
last are without exception imported
gowns and certainly advance couriers of
what we are to expect next winter
