thing devised by patriotic San Diego
citizens to impress upon the world the
reason for holding open the San Diego

this unique organization will obligate
themselves to wear while in San Diego
no other kind of hat except those made
of straw, or fiber, or other light mate
rials, during every day of 1915. And
not only will they pledge themselves
to this but in signing the membership
roll of the Straw Hat club they will
incur a penalty in the form of a fine
Of 500 for each and every violation OF
their obligation.

ing to the Blue Grass Fair at Lexing-

known in amusement parks, such as
White City in Chicago. where he has
played for the past five seasons, but

much enthusiasm. He is young, 'vigor-
Gus and tactful. He is a musician who
obtains the most vivid effects without
recourse to buffoonery or chicanery.
He knows music and knows his audi

organizations on the road this season

perfect in every detail but also pro
vides an opera company that offers
grand opera in the best taste and in

Portable dining room, they beheld a
table like unto that Of king, which
fairly groaned under the weight of
every luxury that the culinary art

turkey to dish of ambrosia that
looked and tasted as if it had just
been plucked by angels from the am
.brosial tree in the garden Of Paradise
and placed in the center of the table
BY the almighty hand of God to adorn
the table Of this venerable old man of
God
After the guests had partaken of
this bountiful and luxurious feast
they we're ushered into, the parlor,
where beautiful and appropriate mus
ic was rendered and enjoyed. They
were then shown into the living
room, where Capt. Hunter sat in his
comfortable arm chair enjoying his
usual after dinner smoke and sur
rounded by his two daughters. Mrs.
J. H. Steadman and Mrs. j. B. Make
don, j. H. Steadman and j. b. Make
don, and six grandchildren and three
great grandchildren. The remainder
of the day was spent with interest and
profit, listening to "reminiscences Of
by-gone days by this grand old man.

carved the turkey and ham and at
tended TO the wants ana pleasures Of
