MISS HANNAH GALE ENTERTAINs

MISS HANNAH GALE ENTERTAINS.
On Wednesday evening the
24th inst, Miss Hannah Gale en-
tertained at the home of Mr. and
Mrs L S Jennings, on Academy
street, the guest of honor being
Miss jamie Allen of Florence.
The house and grounds were
beautifully decorated with flow
ers, pot plants, and vines, and
the many japanese lanterns
with their soft and mellow light
made the scene one of beauty,
and the cozy hooks and cool re-
treats curtalned by natures
choicest flowers surpassed the
beauty of Fairy-land. AS the
ladies arrived each one was Civ
en- a small bow of ribbon the
corresponding color of which
was pinned to a paper heart
and the several hearts pinned
to a large heart and put upon
the wall as a target, dt which
the gentlemen had to shoot
with bow and arrow to deter
mine who his partner for the
evening should be; and "Lucky
was he who's aim so streight,
determined then his future
fate" The couples being pair
ed off they were given several
pictures representing various
advertisements and requested
to write the name of the article
represented by the picture, and
for quite a while it was two
souls with but a single thought,
and that thought was who
would win the prize. At the
conclusion of the contest Miss
jamie Allen was declared the
winner of the prize, a five pound
box of candy incased in a heart

were then served, and at the

MISS ADELAIDE HARPER ENTER.

TAINS.
Miss Adelaide Harper was the
hostess at a most enjoyable af-
fair on Friday evening given at
her home in honor of Miss Mar.
ion Gilland's popular guests,
Misses Reid, Mikell and Ried.
Miss Harper is one of the sela-
sons graduates from Winthrop
and her many friends are glad
to welcome her home after her
long absence. 1t was this spir-
it of welcome homecoming
that gave an added zest to the
pleasure of the evening.
The lawn in front Of the house
was ablaze with Japanese Ian
terms and presented a pictur-
esque spectacle. Under one OF
the beautiful Shade trees Miss
Rosa and Master Archie Will
klns dispensed delicious fruit
punch. Inside the house the
decorations were particularly
pleasing, a profusion of pot
plants being placed about ar
tistically and quantities OF flow
ers added their sweetness and
beauty. In the dining room
where the guests were at small
tables the color scheme of pink
was gracefully carried out. On
each table was a vase of pink
roses and the rosy hue prevail
ed in the ice cream and deli
cately iced cakes.
The leading game of the ev-
ening was quite a unique one
and called for cleverness and
originality. Each guest was
presented with paper and pen
cils, the papers being numbered
the ladies to correspond with
the gentlemen. The ladies were
told to write a line of a propos-
al and hand the paper on to the
next lady, who read the line
written and added another.
The gentlemen were given the
task of writing answers to pro-
posals, this being leap year
Each one read only the line
written Immediately before he
or she received it and folded
the paper. After each one had
written a line the couples paired
off according to the number on
the paper in possession at the
close of the game. Then each
couple read aloud the proposal
and answer. Naturally most OF
the results were absurdly funny
and merriment ran high as each
couple went through their love
scene and were greeted with
bursts of laughter.
The occasion was one of the
most brilliant of the season and
it was with genuine regret that
the guests made their final

The infamous shooting down of Francis T.

by the insane brooding and private grudge
OF one man. the assassin. but the moral in

directly attributable TO the continual venom
Of thea newspapers and weeklies of San

OF the grafters.
The cartoons of the Examiner and the as
sertions that the prosecution has placed no
criminal in the penitentiary yet are the two

dence that be would be fully protected from
justice.
The Examiner taunts the prosecution with

the delay of justice The bitter despieable
harpings Of Hearst's organs against such
real men Mckinley and Heney finds only
condemnation in the minds OF thinking

the turning point in the graft history and
swing back again and result in the con-

HETCH HETCHY PLANS ARE
MADE AT CONFERENCE
Sity Omcials Discuss Important
Phases of Water System
Campaign

Hetch Hetchy matters were discussed
and important steps decided. upon at a
conference held at the Offices of Judge
Curtis Lindley yesterday, Supervisors
Giannini, Murphy and McLeran, City
Attorney Long, City Engineer Manson,
chief Clerk John Behan and Expert r.
A. Mason of the board of the super
visors being present.
The general terms of the grant to be
asked OF congress at the coming short
session were considered and Lindley
and Mason will frame the bill during
the next 10 days. The public utilities
committee hopes to have a conference
with the California delegation here be-
fore the departure of most of the MEM
bers for Washington and expects to OBJ
tain the aid of all the states repre-
sentatives to further the city's measure.
Perhaps the most important depar-
ture from the terms of the present
executive grant to be advanced will be
the releasing of the city from the obli-
cation to sell surplus power exclusive
" to the residents of the Turlock and
Modesto districts. The present agree
ment permits the city itself to make
use of all power necessary, but the dis
tricts have the first call on any power
sold and at cost.
Judge Lindley advised the super
visors that he considered unnecessary
any legislation by the coming session
at Sacramento, but that it would be
well for the city to be on the lookout
for adverse legislation.

that this will be the first business dis

it reconvenes at 2:30 o'clock today and
that Latham viii be charged with per-
jury.
Numerous witnesses were on hand
yesterday when the grand jury met in
regular session. and scarcely "a hours
after Latham, for some mysterious rea-
son, had practically admitted OH the
witness stand that he had perjured
himself, his case was taken up for
consideration.

examined in connection with the case

The formal indictment will probably be

Besides the Latham case the grand
jury also discussed in an informal man

that a uniform system of book keepin e
be adopted in all departments of the
municipal government, and that at
