SouHt VI ner beauty. Sne generally
belongs to one OF the wealthy old FAINT
lies Of the state and her maids are
chosen from the oldest and best fami-
lies.
The queen and her court arrive at
the throne In open carriages so COM
pletely covered with roses, heliotrope,
wisteria. and carnations that not a
particle OF the vehicles can be seen
beneath the floral covering. Each
vehicle Is drawn by four or six milk
white horses In harness wrapped In
white satin ribbons. and driven by
coachmen In full suits Of blue and
cream satin.
A blast Is blown by the royal trump
eter, and the procession OF the day
moves past the throne for two hours.
The governor and his staff first pass
by. then come the various officials of
the state and city.
Next follow regiments and compa-
nies Of the California militia, hundreds
Of expert horsemen from among the
fornia, all dressed In short velvet
jackets. with puffed sleeves OF red
silk. and wearing spangled trousers,
and huge jingling spurs. There are
throngs of other Spanish equestrians
from every part of the state. and many
. of them perform brief and neat bits of
fancy riding before the queen as the
cavalcade moves along. Large num-
bers Of carefully and ingeniously con-
structed floats. each of which typify a
product of southern California, pass
by.
But the Indian and Chinese features
OF the procession are the most unique.
For weeks committees of arrange
ments have been planning for these.
There are several tribes Of the Pueblos
and Of the Mission Indians who join
in homage to the queen. Truly no
savages were ever more gorgeously ar
rayed than these. The Pueblos are the
descendants of the ancient Aztecs who
built the strange houses away up
among the rocky cliffs of canons and
mountains in New Mexico and Arizona
The Mission Indians are to be In full
war-paint, and this is the first time In
years they have been permitted to
leave their reservation In Temecula
valley and go among the pale-faces.
Probably never before was there
such a pageant as that prepared by the
Chinese of California in honor Of the
queen of the fiesta. The thousands of
celestials in the state each contribute
a share toward the celebration. They
have sent to China for gowns and
horse-treppings that have never before
been out of their native land; they
have drilled their orchestras for the
rendition of their own peculiar music,
and they have planned and schemed
for days to produce the most extrava-
giants effects in color. There is to De

ing elaborately woven cloaks and won

of a Chinese dynasty or epoch from

broidered and flaming cloaks will reach
almost to the feet of the horses on
which the wearers ride. and all OF
them must have consumed years OF
patient labor, and have cost a great
amount of money. The all-important
feature of the parade will be an enor-
nous Chinese dragon. 1t belongs to

The damage may reach 81. 900, :
600. The first estimate on the
Murray Hill Hotel placed the
loss at 100000. but later the
hotel was abandoned as unsafe.
If the building is condemned the
loss on it will be greater than
100000. The damage to the
Grand Union was estimated at
$40 600 and that TO the Manhat.
tan Hospital at S225. 900. The loss
at the Grand Central Station
was entirely in glass, as was that

SALOON A NECESSARY EVIL

Oae OF the most distinguished d.
vines in this country is Bishop Henry
c. Potter, Of New York, and his views
on any question command, ST least,
respectful consideration. There Is how
going on in New IorS City, fierce
agitation Of the saloon question and
the Temperance advocates are up in
arms sud demanding that all places
where liquor is sold IL be closed on
Sunday. The Rev. Dr. Parkhursl is
identified with this movement. which
is somewhat Gu the order of the
Lexow Investigation some years ago.
Bishop Potter takes rather an sdvanc-
ed and literal view of the matter.
however: one thst is a long way in
advance Of any that has recently sp-
peared He regards the saloon as s
necessary evil and deals with the prop
ositiou TO allow it 10 remain open on
Sunday, SIS is done in sll the big towns
of the West. In part he says:
II have never dreamed Of regarding
the present saloon IS either blessing
or \ necessity and no word of mine,
whether uttered recently or st any
any other time, warrants any such in
ference. | have simply regarded ii as
an inevitable and necessary evil. until
il WAS displaced by something better.
ITO close il whether on Sundays or
on any other particular days, is not 10
displsee il by something worthy Of
public respect and legal protection;
sud my controversy is simply With
those who have no other aim IN deal
ing with y miSchievous institution,
than 10 suppress it; whereas, the only
hope Of reform here is displacement by
substitution.
''The present proposition 10 close the
saloons on Sunday and otherwise leave
them alone is the policy of those who
refuse Ia face facts or IL deal With them
As their exigency demands, Aud because
this Is 50, the present agitation as TO
