onel Charles H Murphy, and his staff of

city yesterday afternoon for the plains

Arabic Temple upon a class Of individuals
who, having passed through the Blue
order in the chapter, were anxious to get
into the playground" Of the fraternity,
as the domain Of the Shriners has been
termed.
They did not go as an organized body.
They boarded the boat singly, in pairs
and in punches Of half a dozen. Each
carried travelling case containing a dress
suit, a. fez, pyrotechnics and small bot
ties Of the elixir of ZEN zem" water.
The notice to the members of the temple
conveyed the information that the session
was to be held in memory Of Abdool-
Wahab, founder of the sect Of Wahabees,
who was a smasher of images, and de-
stroyed beautiful works Of art and build
ings without regret.

the degree on forty or more benighted
sons Of the desert. There were also given

in compliment to the French man-of-war
Porter, at present in our harbor. The
commander and officers were among the

by Mr.. and Mrs. M. ]. Dupas, Mr.. Dupas
being the honored president of the society.
The French Consul was also prominent
in the grand march.

offered. The commander of the Porter.
Mr. Dupas and the French Consul were
among the clever speechmakers.
At 100 a. m. dancing was resumed until
avery late hour, although the crush rem
dered it impossible to dance with any
great degree of comfort.
The committee on arrangements con-
sisted of ]. S. Godeau, o. Bozio, J. P1l-
chan, E. Messenger and M J. Dupas A
glance at the decorations and the festive
board would satisfy any one that these
gentlemen did their utmost to make the
affair success. The decorations were
most elaborate and in excellent taste.
One very striking feature was the abund-
ance of good American flags, which
showed the good will and loyalty Of La
Societe FRANCHISE Renaissance Mutuelle.

Hall last evening was largely attended
by the most charming people in San
Francisco society. The younger set en-

The latest contribution TO the mass Of Ma
poleon literature IS collection Of letters which
Napoleon wrote TO Josephine between the years
1196-1S31. They have been collected and trans
lated by Henry Foljambe Hall. and will be pub
lished before the end of the year by z. P. Dut-
ton & Co. Most Of the letters were written at
odd moments during Napoleon's campaigns and
reflect the scenes Of action with which the
writer surrounded. His love for Josephine
is poured out in many passages. There are ex-
