gress will be convened in Seattle, Feb

SAN MATEO CITY
ENJOYS A BOOM
Many New Buildings
Are Erected During
Calendar Year.
Special Dispatch to Tho Call.

SAN MATEO, Dec. 4.-In its issue
tomorrow the San Mateo Times will
publish a tabulated statement fur
nished by the builders of this city
showing the location and ownership
of all new buildings erected during the
calendar year just closing, with the
cost of each, which aggregate the sum
of $402.150.
Commenting editorially on this
phenomenal growth, the Times says:
1T is safe to say that no other town
in the West of equal population has
shown SO great an increase in build
ing. 1t follows that the access Of
population has been proportionate. 1t
has been conservatively estimated that
the population of San Mateo to-day is
not less than 1000. as against 1892 in
1900. The present years growth has
been largely in excess of the two years
preceding, and everything indicates
that it will be much larger next year.
There have been many other i'm
provements in addition to those
named. During the year the exten-
sion of the United Railroads electric
line was completed in double track to
this city, representing an outlay of
about $1.000,O00 from here to the San
Francisco line. The Southern Pacific
has made improvements to its lines in
bridges, culverts, double tracks,
strengthening, leveling, etc., which for
the entire county aggregate about
100000. The United Gas and Elec-
trio Company has expended about
$4,000 in new generator, engines,
boiler and power extension. A new
girls college has been erected and a
High School purchased.
"The transactions in real estate have
been enormous. Exact figures are not
available, but dealers place the fig
ures slightly above 100000.
Before the year closes 1t Is most
likely that plans will be perfected for

Keeps His Wife Chained to Bedpost.

CHEHALIS, Wash. Dec. 4.-For
treating his aged wife with ingenious
cruelty j. B. Conklin, a veteran of the
Civil War. is serving a sentence of
thirty days in the county Jail here.
The evidence showed that Conklin
habitually kept his wife chained and
padlocked to a bedpost. He would
bring her meals to her as to a dog, and
release her only for brief intervals.
Shame and humiliation kept the
woman from making any effort to
have her plight known, and when in
dignant neighbors finally released her
she was nearly dead.

During the year railway franchises
have been secured which will connect
this city with the coast towns of the
county and ultimately no doubt lead
to new coast line"

GREENWAY ASSEMBLY GIVEN IN NEW BALLROOM OF PALACE HOTEL
SENDS The WINTER SEASON FORWARD ON ITS MRTtFUL COURS
Society Delights in
First Dance of
Series.
Simplicity Marks
Decoration of
Ballroom.

The Greenway assembly, given last
evening in the new ballroom of the
Palace Hotel, was a brilliant affair.
marked by unusual enjoyment. The
appointments were characterized by
the greatest simplicity.
In the ballroom palms and ferns were
simply arranged at one end to screen
the orchestra. This was the only dec
oration, save for baskets of woodwar-
dia ferns and clusters of huckleberry
branches, arranged in the conserva-
tory. II was the smiling faces of the
guests and the shimmering gowns
and flashing Jewels of fair women that
gave the brightness to the scene.
All the available rooms on the first
floor adjoining the BALLROOM were util-
lied for the occasion. These included
the Empire, Conservatory and Louis
Quatorze rooms, which were arranged
so the guests could sit and chat be-
tween dances and enjoy the delights Of
champagne punch and ices.
The guests were very late in arriv-
ing and the ball was not at its height
until just before midnight.
Fully 200 guests lent their presence to
the scene. There was no cotillon, as
Mr.. Greenway preferred a straight pro-
gramme Of informal dances, the cotillon
being arranged for the Christmas ball,
which will take place on the 18th Of the
present month.
POPULAR FUNCTIONS.
This is now the twenty-sec sea-
son Of the dances of this set. They
were started by Ned Sheldon and were
called the Friday night assemblies.
Greenwsy took up the leadership where
his predecessor left II off and has
maintained the same style that always
made the dances the most popular Of
the season.
Greenway always insists upon good
music at his dances, and this has al
ways been one of the secrets of the
success that has attended his affairs.
The music last evening had the
charm of being bright and snappy.
Among the most fetching of the new
selections were: Girls of Baden
waltz, Wedding Of the Winds" waltz,
Laughing Waters" deux temps, and
numbers from The Prince of PilSen. -
Supper was served at midnight in the
maple and marble rooms. The only
embellishments to the small round ia
bles were golden candelabra, surmount-
ed by red and yellow shades. Dancing
was resumed after supper and il was
3 o'clock before the delightful event
came to a close.
HANDSOME GOWNS.
The gowns worn were more beauti-
full and costly than any seen at SINH
lar affairs this season. Partisan gowns
were particularly numerous and the
many spangled creations greatly en-
hanced the beauty of the wearers..
Miss Jennie Blair wore a beautiful
creation of pink silk elaborately en-
broidered with spangles and trimmed
with lace and chiffon.
Miss Nabelle Toy was charming in
a handsome white spangled gown
with elbow sleeves and a profusion Of
tulle founces closely spangled.
Miss Ethel Cooper was becomingly
gowned in white.
Miss Gertrude Dutton was pretty
in pink crepe de chine with garniture
of lace.

that warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by Mr.. Sharp in the United
States commissioners Office yester-
day and the warrant will no doubt be
served in a day or two by United
States Marshal McCord, of Phenix.
The complaint alleges that Pratt was
short over $500 in his accounts. The
case is said to be very strong against
him. Should this charge fail, how
ever, the officers still have four or five
other cases which are as good as
cinches, so the chances look very fav-
Orable that Mr.. Pratt's career has
been wound up in a pretty tight ball.
District Attorney Clark today in
formed the Journal Miner that he had
worked in conjunction with the Unit
ed States officers in weaving this web
of evidence about Pratt, and that he
would be turned over to the United
States officers upon their demand.
He says the district court has as
strong evidence as they want but it
would cost the county an enormous
amount of money to bring the wit
nesses here and if the government will
take up his case and put him where
he cannot do any more harm, it will
save this county hundreds of dollars.

Out of the Ordinary.

With the Norris 4 Rowe's big shows
which are to appear here soon, is a
remarkable animal act, which is so
entirely out of the ordinary that the
press throughout the country have
been more than lavish in it's praise.
The great act, which is the cause of SO
much comment, is the congress of ed
ucated seals and sea lions, which they
are presenting this season. Ii is al
most beyond the power of reason to
believe that seals and sea lions, which
have never been accredited with any
more sense than to be able to laZily
pull themselves upon a rock, or 10
dine upon a fish dinner, can be made
TO perform maneuvers and exceedingly
intricate tricks at the beck and call
of human being. They have been
taught to skip ropes and to balance
md juggle all sorts and sizes of ar
ticles, such as lighted torches, hoops
and balls, and they even play upon
musical instruments. They have also
"a clown among them, who enters into
the humor of his actions with as much
zest as human being. This is posi-
lively one of the most novel acts
given by any tented exhibition.
These performing amphibisns will be
seen in the grand street parade which
will leave the show grounds Thurs
day, Nov. 9Th.
