A Three Days' Carnival to Entertain the Alerry Monarch and His Band of Revelers. In the realms of legendary lore there is no more interesting romance than the story nt the band of argonauts who sailed from lulcus to capture the Golden Fleece. This idealistic narrative will be pre- sented this week to the people of this city in realistic form by the Mystic Argonauts of San Francisco in the three days' car- nival which has gained world-wide fame as the Mardi Gras. The voyage of the original argonauts will be typified and the tableaux presentation of the legend given with a gorgeous accompaniment of which the searchers lor the Golden Fleece never j dreamed. Thetiskot securing the Golden Fleece was imposed upon Jason that he might iTove himself by perilous adventure worthy of the throne of lolcus, whicn he claimed from the usurper Pelias, at whose hands Jason and his brother, JEaoa, had Buffered persecution. To accompany him on his dangerous mission, Jason sum- moned Ihe heroes of his own race, the Minyse. Six j. lined him and they sailed to sea m the ship Argo to secure the treasure, which was guarded by a dragon in a grove sacred to Mars. Jason's uncle Athamas had two children, Phryxus and Belle. Their mother, Nepneie, died, and her place was taken by ltio, a daughter of Cadmus, who from hatred of her stepchildren persuaded Atharaas, by means of a false oracle, to cfier his sou Phryxus as a sacrifice in con- sequence of a famine which she had caused by having the grain secretly roasted before it was sown. Before the sacrifice the shade ofXephels appeared to Phryxus. bringing a ram with a golden fleece, upon which be and "his sister Helle were to escape over the sea. llelie fell off and was drowned in the strait, which then took the name of Helle- spont. Phryxus reached the other side and, proceeding on land to Colchis, sacri- ficed the ram and hung up its fleece in the grove o; Mars. The heroes of the Argo were Her- cules, Castor and Pollux, Orpheus, Mop- sus and the- sons of Boreas, Calais and Z-te>. The first landing place was at Lemnus, which the Argonaut; found occu- pied only by women, who at the instiga- tion of Aphrodite bad slain their hus- band*, fathers and brothers. The Argonauts landed at Cyzicns next. There Hercules, having broken an oar, went into a wood to cut a new one, Hvlas accompanying him to fetch water. Some nymphs, admiring tne beauty of Hylas, carried him off. Hercules followed his cries, but could not find him. At Scutari the Argo stopped to replenish their supply of water. The crew was challenged by the Kin?, Amycus, to match him with a boxer. Pollux came forward and in the end overpowered bis adversary and bound him to a tree. At Colchis was the rising of the sun and Aete?, the Kirn, was a sou of Helios, while his daughter, Medea, was by her knowl- edge of witchcraft connected with the worship of the moon. Aetes required of Jason that he should first yoke to a plow bis bull-, which snorted fire and had hoofs of brass, and with them plow through the field of Mars. That done, the field was to be sown with Iraizons' teeth, from which armed Den were to spring. . Successful so far by means of the ma- chine which Medea had given nim as proof against fire and sword, Jason was next alt wed to approach Hie dragon which watched the fleece. Jiledea soothed the rir.igon with another mixture acd J-son became master of the fleece. Then followed the homeward voyage, Medea accompanying Jason anil Aetes pur- suing them. To delay him and escape, i Aledea dismembered her young brother, I Absyrtu-, whom she had tiken with her, | and cast the limbs about in the sea for his father to i ick up. The Argo sailed up the Eridanus into ! the Rhodanu% passing through the coun- I try of tlie Celts aDd LiEurian?, and ' reached the Syrrlienian Sea and the Isl- I and of Circe, who absolved the Argonauts for the murder of AbsyrtUs. Then they passed safely through Scylla ana Charyb- dis, past the Sirens, through thR Plane- tae, over the Island of the Sun and on to Corcyra again, where Jason and Medea held their nuptials. The hardy adventurers had Mghted the coast of the IVlui>oiine9us when a storm (Vftook them and drove them to the roast of Libya, where 'hey were saved fr m a quicksand by the local nymDli?. The Argo wa9 now carried twelve days and nights to the Resperides and thence to Lake Tritoniß. where Triton conducted them to the Mediterranean. At Crete the brazen Talos would not oerniit the Argonauts to laud, and was killed by the Dioscuri. At Anaple they were saved from a storm by Apollo. Finally they reached I->lcuß, and the shtD Argo was placed in a grove 3acred to Nep- tune. HIS MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL. Rex Felix Will Pass From His Barge to the Pageant. Over the present whereabouts of Rex Felix there is an impenetrable gloom of mystery, though it is most generally sup- posed hi* royal bnrge approaches this city with that digniiied, easy motion associated witn the movement of great bodies. For certain, however, he will land at 11 (/click Tuesday morning and proceed in courtly state wit i his retainers to Sunset City. The keys of ban Francisco and Sunset City will be given him by dignitaries of state immediately upon iis arrival. Pop- ular fancy has it that he will come from Oakland or some of the other towns id the interior, perhaps from Honolulu. The royal baige which will convey his Majesty to the wharf is the tug Fearless. Kiug Felix will be attended by bil court, the ladies and other members of his royal family, 'he royal household guards, royal veteran guards (G. A- X.). royal Mame- lukes, mystic argonauts of the Golden Wesiacd the reeal army. These noble visitors— cuests of the two cities— will come ashore at the ferries depot at 11 a. M.. when Rex Felix will be rereived as becomes his «•""*• I hree companies of the .National Guard will act at escort on behalf of the prosaic biate of California. The king will pass to bl» chariot, in which he will drawn by six white horses to the exposition, attended nL l " 9 J )ody & aardll « erand dames and court officials as he moves along Market i street to an Ness and Golden Gate avenuss, where a grand parade will form and proceed to the fair. The line of march will be out Golden Gate avenue to Devisadero. to Grove, to Baker and thence i;> o Golden Gate Park aud ou to Sunset City. Immediately after arriving the keys and i freedom of the city will he given the kinu ! and his followers by his Honor the Mayor i of San Francisco. At 2 p. m. bis Excel- lency the Governor of California will re- view the parade in the grand coun and I likewise make his official bow to royalty, j and then the brilliant ;illegorical floats , will be covered until evening. The fes- tivities will end in a blaze of fireworks aftei dark. Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock the King will give a recep ion to his people on the recreation grounds, which is to be the occasion of tournaments and royal sports in the lists. Feats of darinjj on horse- back, of armed knights, combats with short swords, tilting t urnanients, chariot races and festivities will comprise the sport m part. In concision the victors ; will be crowned by the Qjeen of Beauty— an honor which makes the blood run last i isi gladiators' veins, even at the thought of j a wrea hof laurels. After this phasing event the Mikado's subjects will entertain ; the royal guest with a wonderful exhibi- j tion of lireworks as given iv daylight in! their vat ye land. Then* will be a splendid illuminated pagea:.t throiißli the exposition grounds in J : tiie evenne. when twenty floats will move j i along with 135 characteis, dressed in gor- ! izeous costumes. The ISative Sous, Royal j Mamelukes, Household Guards and Mystic i : Argonauts will have the hODor of acting j ias e-corts. The line of march will be ' around thegrand central court and through the mystic midway. From the electric I ovtera stream of light will be thrown upon the pageant, and besides colored lights will burn iv many places as the j j spectacle passes the allegorical fountain, i li^re will be the grand stand, and here. too, an illuminated arch will be erected for the floats to pass beneath. A more dazzling sight thau this prom- ise« to be could scarcely be imagined, with ' all its beautiful figures, regal splendor and brilliant coloring. The floats will gleam in the reflected light sod with the picturesque background furnished by the exposition buildings a truly fabulous spec- tacle will be presented— a fairy scene in an enchanted city. Ii may be doubted if the World's Fair can boast ol anything nearly so singularly beautiful. When the King and his court have aired their ma i:ificence in this fashion they will proceed to the recreation grounds where a number of tableaux in co lured fires will shine one after another against tb" night's black- ness, and other novelties in fireworks will be -hown. Next evening a grand carnival mask ball will be given in the Vienna Prater, At 8:30 P. M. tableaux] vivants will be^in on the si«g<*; at 9:30 th« grand march will take place, ana at 10:30 the "Battle of the Parisian Canfetti" will be fought. Half an hour later a march of maskers will be held ana at midnight the best and bravest will receive special marks of favor In prizes. The floats are all splendid results of ar- tistic skill. Most of them were used in New Orleans at the last annual Mardi (ira«, on which occasion it was widely circulated that old Rex Felix put on his gayest appearance. Fie won admiration from press and people. These have been gilded over anew and decorated hand- somely. According to the official list the tableaux to be represented by the floats are as follows: Float 1, California; No. 2, Argosy of the Mystic Argonauts of the Gulden West; No. 3, title-car. Illustrations From Litera- ture: No. 4, Rex Felix; No. 5.

Bajazet Receiving His Bride, From the Prince of 'Kcrutain*; No. ill, Rrinrcke Fox; No. 12, Antediluvian; No. 13, The Talisman, or Richard and Salad in; No. 14, Marco Polo; No. 15, | "She," from Rider Haggard; No. 16, Je- rusalem Delivered; No. 17, Merry Wives of Windsor; No. 18, Ulysses; No. 19. Tannhauser; No. 20, Pandemonium, fr<>ui Milton's "Paradise Lost"; No. 21, Sir Galahad, from Tennyson. Some floats' additional to those brought from New Orleans have been designed with a local significance, which will give the pageant a local color. For instance, the first float, "California," is a striking aHeeory, designed to illustrate the State's development In four stages. Two Indians will be seated in one of the rear corners, dressed in native costume and surrounded by spears, bows and arrows. Opposite them will be the brown-robed Franciscan padres or the old missions, ty ical of Cali- fornia's second period. Two Spaniards at n front corner will serve to illustrate the time of Spanish rule, while two Americans nearly will have- gathered around them all the evidences of civilization and prosper- ity indicative of the ate at present. The central figure, of course, will be Eureka i with a great seal of State, a cinnainou bear I and four little girls dressed as Goddess of Liberty. California poppies will give this beautiful alleeory the finishing touches, as their golden gow will cover the whole float with an effect that must command general attention. GENERAL ORDERS.

"MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR. "-SHAKESPEARE. ROBBED A GROCERY. A Good-Sized Haul by Burglars in the Mission. About 2:30 o'clock sterday morning burglars broke into the grocery and liquor store of P. J. Silk, on the southwest cor- ner of California and Powell avenues, stealing the contents of the money-drawer and over $200 worth of wines, liquors and cigars. The entrance was effected through a side door on California iiverme by means of a jimmy, which they left In their hurried de- parture. The baker's wagon arrives at the store about the hour mentioned, and it is sup- posed, that the noise of .the wheels of the vehicle gave the robbers alarm. ; The driver, when . about to deliver the bread, discovered that the place bad been looted, and ran to the dwelling of Silk, a couple of blocks away, and told him what had happened. The grocer and his brother returned to the store, uLd seeing what had been; done. 'soueht- a .policeman ami soon i found Officer Shanahan.-- The three began to scour the neighborhood in que>t of; the burglars.

Took Desperate Chances on an Operation. GALLANT STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. Splendid Record in War and Peace of the Brave Cavalry Officer of the Fourth. At a quarter past 10 yesterday morning ! Captain Abram E. Wood of the Fourth IUnited States Cavalry breathed bis last at his quarters at the Presidio. There were I present at the deathbed Dr. Lane, Sur- geon Middleton of the post, two brothers of the deceased, Mrs. Wood and several brother officers. The story of Captain Wood's death' is a sad one. He was only about 50 years of age, having been born September 4, 1544, in lowa, where all his people live. About three years ago a growth manifested it- self on the tip of his tongue. lie at first paid little attention to it, but it soon de- veloped into a cancer and became very troublesome. About ajyear ago, while stationed tem- porarily at the Yosemite, Captain Wood went East and entered the Bellevue Hos- pital, New York, where he had an opera- tion performed. A portion of the tongue was cut away, but the cancerous growth was not eradicated. It began to trouble him greatly, and about six weeks ago a tumor appeared on the right side of the throat, showing externally. It grew quickly, and it soon became evident that it was but a question of a few months when his death would be assured. Captain Wood desired an operation, but Surgeon Middleton opposed the idea. Hearing that Dr. Lane had relieved a lady recently of a painful tumor of the lace, Captain Wood determined to also have an operation per- formed. Dr. Lane did not want to under- take the job; but the soidier insisted on it. There was a chance that his life might be prolonged by the operation, while it was certain death to let it alone. So as he In- sisted Dr. Lane had to consent. The cap- i in was taken to Dr. Lane's place on Mission street, and lie delicate and dan- gerous operation - was performed, on Wednesday afternoon, March 28. It was unsuccessful. Captain Wood remained with Dr. Lane until last Monday, when he was conveyed in un ambulance to the Pre- sidio. \u25a0 He had, iv fact, returned die. The shock was 100 much for th« system, and blood-poisoning set in. One thing the operation did for his relief—it gave him a painless death. The gallant officer passed away quietly and peacefully with a sigh. Allthe cavalry went into ramp at Gil- roy last week and there were therefore no cavalry officers at the Presidio when his death occurred yesterday. But. Captain Wood was well known to all the artillery officers as well and they had nothing but words of admiration for his pluck and re- gret for his death. Flags were half- masted at the .Presidio, the Marine Hos- pital and the Government buildings. ' Surceon Middletqu said his death re- sulted from exhaustion and blood uoison- ing. The disease with which he Was at- tacked was epithalioma of the tongue. 0 It was supposed to have been given the op- portunity to manifest Itself by smoking, of which the deceased was very fond. The funeral will, of course, be a mili- tary one, the remains being interred in the cemetery at the Presidio. Captain Wood's record' was a good one and embraced gallant service during the war. He was a thorough soldier and as i rave as a- lion. He was born iii I<>wa S"Ptember 4, 1844, and in the course of events would have been retired in 1908. lie was appointed from lowa a cadet sit the United States Military Academy July 12,1868. lie graduated Juno 14, 1872. He servtd a3 corporai, sergeant and first ser- geant of Company F, Thirteenth lowa In- fantry, from October 4. 1861, to June 6, 1865. On June 7, 1865. he whs made sec- ond lieutenant of the Thirteenth and hon- orably mustered out on July 21 of the same year.- On June 14, 1872, be was ap- L>oi ted second lieutenant of the Fourth Cavalry, U. S. A. ; first lieutenant Novem- ber 25, 1876, and regimental quartermaster from July 6, 1879, to February 1, 1880. He received his; captaincy on June 30, 1883. Captain Wood was one of the few men who went into the war at the beginning, nerved through to the end and came out \u25a0 onus enough to enter the military: acad- emy at West Point. He did not g > to West Point immedia'ely after his discharge from the army, however, but spent three years at school in lowa to prepare himself for the academic course. He entered at the age of 23 under a special act of Congress.* On account of bis magnificent horseman- ship he whs made instructor of cavalry, and he might have remained in this com- paratively comfortable berth lor four years, but he preferred duty iv the held, an d, j lining his regiment in the West, served with distinction in many of the most serious Indian war?. During this service he accomplished the most remarkable feats in the way of.lone rides on record. They eclipsed those of the Russian officers who rode competitive races a year or 60 aco., Mini are Wild ix-ver to have been equaled. On one occasion he led a troup oi 130 cav- alrymen 130 miles in Iwemy-fnur hours across the onrning Staked Plains of Texas without m drop of water, and brought iv I every man and horse. .During his service in the war between the States he was in seventeen pitched bat- tles, four sieges and skirmishes and affrays innumerable. , . -V' \u25a0 '^l§s-Si3sSH|Mfefl The imperturbable composure of the man under air circumstances is fitlyIllus- trated by his last important act. After being assured that the surgical operation he had decided ;to undergo would in all probability result fatally he went into the "study" of Colonel Young at the Presidio and ni'ule a memorandum of .the details of his " funeral in the t event of ; his death. This finished he said: "There, that's all, aud I have one night more." He returned with Colonel Youtits io his own house and there for sev«ral; hours" entertained with perfect nonchalance and evenirayety a party of his army friends. .As he hud said he had one more night, and he spent it just as he had done: many others. < The funeral, which was to have taken place ti-'l&y, has ; ; been postponed} until to- morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in order to give some oor.f r . the officer*, now at Gilroy, time to reach, the city.

The Vienna Club is known as the tourist club. Itbuilds and maintains huts in the mountains, where its members do most of their climbing, where they may retreat aud find shelter in the event of being over- taken by storms. A few years ago the ciub held an oiilingon "Snow Mountain," about, two hours' ride by rail from Vienna, in wbich 4000 persons participated. The party ascended the mountain at night and pneh participant carried a Homing torch. The executive committee of the Cross Country Club have several night trips on schfdu c for this year, and it is designed to have each member attending carry » torch or lantern.

BIGGINS' DEATH. Story of His Life Told the Coroner. Ten Years an Opium Fiend— He Was Disgusted With Himself and Longed for Death. The Coroner's inquest into the death of James Biggins, who committed suicide or was killed at 3 Evpretl street, Friday night, was commenced yesterday. John Mitchell, Biggins' boon companion, was present in charge of Detective Silvey, mid Lillie Daveney, Biggins' femaie friend, was also in attendance. Nathan Rogers the physician, who was called by Mitchell, said that he found th« body of Biggins in the closet sitting on a bag and leaning against the wall. Blood ,-vas flowing from his mouth and from the top of the bead. The skull had hesn frac- tured by the ball that was fired iota the mouth. There were blood stains on his hands and clothes, but there were noue ou'&ide of the cloaet. M. H. Liciitenstein, a pawnbroker, said that he knew Biggins and had lent him Sl3O on Thursday evening. When the bidy was searched at tiie Morgue but S2 was found on it. Thomas Biggins, a brother of the de- ceased, told tiie life story of his unfortu- nate relative. He said : "My brother was born '23 years ago at San Rafael. He had no occupation and lived at 3 Everett street in this city. 1 never knew that he used opium and never knew that he used much liquor. He owned real estate at the lime i if his death and hail rents from property on Nitoma street. I don't know what his inr\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0line tv," Liile Davenry. the young woman with whom Biggins had consorted, took the stand. Sue admitted that she knew Big- gin-, and said that she used to visit his room, when she was lonesome. JShe knew that he was an opium fiend. '"lie was a heavy smoker." she said, "and d.ank heavily. I have often taken his pistol and purse for s;;fe-keeping when he was (irunk. "Mitchell was in jailday before yester- day for disturbing the porcp. ti^gins smoked opium for ten years. He was al- ways melancholy, aud .-aid the sooner he was dead the better, as lie was »a opium fieml and disgusted with himself." After hearing the woman's testimony the inquest was adjourned until tn-niorrow morniu^. The body of Begins will De in- terred in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery to- day. Mitchell will remain in custody until the conclusion of the inquest Mitchell will be detained till the con- clusion of the inquest. Policeman Ryan, who arrested him, says there are some circumstances that re- quire explanation. It is known that on Wednesday or Thursday Biggins got J?130. On Thursday morning he paid n line of $5 imposed upon Mitchell for disturbing the peace as Mitchell had no money. TSat night the landlady noticed several $20 gold pieces in Biggins' pocketbook in his room, mid Biggins did not leave his room that niuht or the following day. When Bicgins' -body was taken to the Morgue on Friday night and the pockets of his clothes searched only S2 was found in them. But when Mitchell was searched at the City Prison the same night two S2O gold pieces and S2 or S3 in silver were lound in his pockets. When questioned as to \vher<» he got the money he said he hnd worked 'or it. What the Dolice nro anxious to find out is what became til the $130 Biegins receivp<l on Wednesday or Thursday and if the $40 found on Mitchell was ;i portion of it. ATHLETIC KING.

Going to Catch Chinese "Merchants." FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES. The Existence of a Ring Monp Than Suspected. TROUBLE AHEAD FOR ATTORNEYS Names and Photographs of Members of Chinese Firms Will Be Secured to Prevent Deception. The Collector of Customs has grown weary of landing Chinese who produco certificates that they are merchants-. Ha knows that many of them are laborers, brought here in violation of the exclusion act and the contract labor law, yet with the assistance 01 uarcbasablo white wit- nesses and notaries whose consciences are indurated they are provided with the documents required by law, and upon lauu- Ing doff the disguise of merchants and be- come coolie laborers. There is no doubt iv the Collee'or's mind of the existence of a ring in this city which is coining money by the landing of Chinese in violation of the law. Kp no: only knows that such a ring is in exist- ence, but thinks he knows some of the members. Ho far, however, he ha 9 been unable to procure sufficient evidence to warrant their prosecutiou. While the Collector cannot break the ring he has found a way to cripple it. The certificates given up by the Chinese re- fused a landing by him have hitherto been placed in court, where the lawyers and others who use the habeas corpus mill have access to them. They arc thus made acquainted with the features of the de- fense which the Collector makes later nu when the cases are tried. It is possible, the Collector thinks, that these certificates are sometimes changed between the date of the landing aud ttie trial, and changed in Him interest of the rlntf. Hereafter these certificates will be kept by the Col- lect >r until the day of the trial, and tiie .'Utorneys for the Chinese will thus be pre- vented from using them to tbe injury of the Government. The bogus merchant and his attorney will nave a bard road to travel in the future. Six hundred Chinese are coming on the Peru, aud most of them will produce evidence, such as it is, that they are part- ners in Chinese stores. Having landed they will register and secure the right to remain in ttie country. A big batch of such "merchants" was landed last week, and the Collector acknowledged when he saw them in the cabin of the ship that they were a very respectable looking lot, but when he saw ;•. wagon-load of them on the way to Chinatown they had all the characteristics of coolie laborers. Every one of them had produced a certificate to the effect that ho was a partner in a firm of merchants doing business in this city. Then came the instructions from the At- torney-General ordering the Collector to accept and land as merchants only such as] appeared by name in the firm to which they claimed to belong. Oiney'* order simplified the work of the Collector. It defined a partner as one who is actively engaged in the business of the firm, aud barred out stockholders, solicitors and others. But to assist their countrymen in land- ing id violation of the law many Chine»<j firms have added tictitious Denies to their partnership roli. There is one firm that lays claim to upward of seventy members, suuie of whom are in China. The Collector will secure the names of every Chinese firm in the city ana if possible the photograph of every partner in them. Then when a laborer seeks to land on the ground that he is a merchant the fraud can be at once detected and land- ing refused. The Collector will nut accept as partners all who are designated as -uch by the Chine-e firms, but willfollow the rule of the United Statt'S Attorney-Oen- eral, that they only are partners who nr« actively engagod at the t flice or store of the conceriK Real hstate Notes.

It Is Due With Its BraveAdventurers.

BRING THE GOLDEN FLEECE.

Citizens Prepare to Receive RexFelix.

THE WONDERFUL MARDI GRAS.

AThree Days' Carnival to Entertainthe Alerry Monarch and His

Band of Revelers.

Inthe realms of legendary lore there isno more interesting romance than thestory nt the band of argonauts who sailedfrom lulcus to capture the Golden Fleece.

This idealistic narrative will be pre-sented this week to the people of this city

in realistic form by the Mystic Argonautsof San Francisco in the three days' car-nival which has gained world-wide fameas the Mardi Gras. The voyage of the

original argonauts willbe typified and thetableaux presentation of the legend given

with a gorgeous accompaniment of whichthe searchers lor the Golden Fleece never jdreamed.

Thetiskot securing the Golden Fleecewas imposed upon Jason that he might

iTove himself by perilous adventureworthy of the throne of lolcus, whicn heclaimed from the usurper Pelias, at whosehands Jason and his brother, JEaoa, hadBuffered persecution. To accompany himon his dangerous mission, Jason sum-moned Ihe heroes of his own race, theMinyse. Six j.lined him and they sailed tosea m the ship Argo to secure the treasure,

which was guarded by a dragon in a grove

sacred to Mars.Jason's uncle Athamas had two children,

Phryxus and Belle. Their mother,

Nepneie, died, and her place was taken byltio, a daughter of Cadmus, who fromhatred of her stepchildren persuadedAtharaas, by means of a false oracle, to

cfier his sou Phryxus as a sacrifice in con-sequence of a famine which she hadcaused by having the grain secretly roastedbefore it was sown.

Before the sacrifice the shade ofXephelsappeared to Phryxus. bringing a ram witha golden fleece, upon which be and "hissister Helle were to escape over the sea.llelie fell off and was drowned in thestrait, which then took the name of Helle-spont. Phryxus reached the other sideand, proceeding on land to Colchis, sacri-ficed the ram and hung up its fleece in thegrove o; Mars.

The heroes of the Argo were Her-cules, Castor and Pollux, Orpheus, Mop-sus and the- sons of Boreas, Calais andZ-te>. The first landing place was atLemnus, which the Argonaut; found occu-pied only by women, who at the instiga-

tion of Aphrodite bad slain their hus-band*, fathers and brothers.

The Argonauts landed at Cyzicns next.There Hercules, having broken an oar,went into a wood to cut a new one, Hvlasaccompanying him to fetch water. Somenymphs, admiring tne beauty of Hylas,

carried him off. Hercules followed hiscries, but could not findhim.

At Scutari the Argo stopped to replenish

their supply of water. The crew waschallenged by the Kin?, Amycus, to matchhim with a boxer. Pollux came forwardand in the end overpowered bis adversaryand bound him to a tree.

At Colchis was the rising of the sun andAete?, the Kirn, was a sou of Helios, whilehis daughter, Medea, was by her knowl-edge of witchcraft connected with theworship of the moon. Aetes required ofJason that he should first yoke to a plowbis bull-, which snorted fire and had hoofsof brass, and with them plow through thefield of Mars. That done, the field was tobe sown with Iraizons' teeth, from whicharmed Den were to spring.. Successful so far by means of the ma-chine which Medea had given nim as proofagainst fire and sword, Jason was nextalt wed to approach Hie dragon whichwatched the fleece. Jiledea soothed therir.igon with another mixture acd J-sonbecame master of the fleece.

Then followed the homeward voyage,Medea accompanying Jason anil Aetes pur-suing them. To delay him and escape, iAledea dismembered her young brother, IAbsyrtu-, whom she had tiken with her, |

and cast the limbs about in the sea for hisfather to iick up.

The Argo sailed up the Eridanus into !the Rhodanu% passing through the coun- Itry of tlie Celts aDd LiEurian?, and

'reached the Syrrlienian Sea and the Isl-Iand of Circe, who absolved the Argonautsfor the murder of AbsyrtUs. Then theypassed safely through Scylla ana Charyb-dis, past the Sirens, through thR Plane-tae, over the Island of the Sun and on toCorcyra again, where Jason and Medeaheld their nuptials.

The hardy adventurers had Mghted thecoast of the IVlui>oiine9us when a storm(Vftook them and drove them to the roast

of Libya, where 'hey were saved fr m aquicksand by the local nymDli?. The Argo

wa9 now carried twelve days and nights to

the Resperides and thence to LakeTritoniß. where Triton conducted them to

the Mediterranean.At Crete the brazen Talos would not

oerniit the Argonauts to laud, and waskilled by the Dioscuri. At Anaple they

were saved from a storm by Apollo.Finally they reached I->lcuß, and the shtDArgo was placed in a grove 3acred to Nep-

tune.

all its beautiful figures, regal splendorand brilliant coloring. The floats willgleam in the reflected light sod with thepicturesque background furnished by theexposition buildings a truly fabulous spec-tacle will be presented— a fairy scene inan enchanted city. Iimay be doubted ifthe World's Fair can boast ol anythingnearly so singularly beautiful. When theKing and his court have aired their mai:ificence in this fashion they will proceedto the recreation grounds where a numberof tableaux in co lured fires willshine oneafter another against tb" night's black-ness, and other novelties in fireworks willbe -hown.

Next evening a grand carnival mask ballwill be given in the Vienna Prater, At8:30 P. M. tableaux] vivants will be^in onthe si«g<*; at 9:30 th« grand march willtake place, ana at 10:30 the "Battle of theParisian Canfetti" will be fought. Halfan hour later a march of maskers willbeheld ana at midnight the best and bravestwill receive special marks of favor Inprizes.

The floats are all splendid results of ar-tistic skill. Most of them were used inNew Orleans at the last annual Mardi(ira«, on which occasion it was widelycirculated that old Rex Felix put on hisgayest appearance. Fie won admirationfrom press and people. These have beengilded over anew and decorated hand-somely. According to the official list thetableaux to be represented by the floatsare as follows:

Float 1, California; No. 2, Argosy ofthe Mystic Argonauts of the Gulden West;No. 3, title-car. Illustrations From Litera-ture: No. 4, Rex Felix; No. 5. TheSylph's Ball; No. 6, Caligula and HisCompanions; No. 7, Freya, a. scene fromScandinavian mythology; No. 8, EstherBefore King Aliasuerus; No. 9, Elves anaDwarfs; No. 10.

Some floats' additional to those broughtfrom New Orleans have been designedwith a local significance, which will givethe pageant a local color. For instance,the first float, "California," is a strikingaHeeory, designed to illustrate the State'sdevelopment In four stages. Two Indianswillbe seated in one of the rear corners,dressed in native costume and surroundedby spears, bows and arrows. Oppositethem willbe the brown-robed Franciscanpadres or the old missions, ty ical of Cali-fornia's second period. Two Spaniards atn front corner willserve to illustrate thetime of Spanish rule, while two Americansnearly willhave- gathered around them allthe evidences of civilization and prosper-ity indicative of the ate at present. Thecentral figure, of course, willbe Eureka

iwitha great seal of State, a cinnainou bearIand four little girls dressed as Goddess ofLiberty. California poppies willgive thisbeautiful alleeory the finishing touches, astheir golden gow will cover the wholefloat with an effect that must commandgeneral attention.

DIED PAINLESSLY.

Captain Abram E. Wood'sLast Call.

CONQUERED BY A CANCER.

Took Desperate Chances on an

Operation.

GALLANT STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

Splendid Record in War and Peaceof the Brave Cavalry Officer

of the Fourth.

At a quarter past 10 yesterday morning

!Captain Abram E. Wood of the FourthIUnited States Cavalry breathed bis last at

his quarters at the Presidio. There were Ipresent at the deathbed Dr. Lane, Sur-geon Middleton of the post, two brothersof the deceased, Mrs. Wood and severalbrother officers.

The story of Captain Wood's death' isa sad one. He was only about 50 years of

age, having been born September 4, 1544,

in lowa, where all his people live. Aboutthree years ago a growth manifested it-self on the tip of his tongue. lie at firstpaid little attention to it, but itsoon de-veloped into a cancer and became very

troublesome.About ajyear ago, while stationed tem-

porarily at the Yosemite, Captain Woodwent East and entered the Bellevue Hos-pital, New York, where he had an opera-tion performed. A portion of the tongue

was cut away, but the cancerous growth

was not eradicated. It began to troublehim greatly, and about six weeks ago atumor appeared on the right side of thethroat, showing externally. It grewquickly, and itsoon became evident that itwas but a question of a few months whenhis death would be assured. CaptainWood desired an operation, but SurgeonMiddleton opposed the idea. Hearing thatDr. Lane had relieved a lady recently of apainful tumor of the lace, Captain Wooddetermined to also have an operation per-formed. Dr. Lane did not want to under-take the job; but the soidier insisted on it.There was a chance that his life might beprolonged by the operation, while it wascertain death to let it alone. So as he In-sisted Dr. Lane had to consent. The cap-iin was taken to Dr. Lane's place onMission street, and lie delicate and dan-gerous operation - was performed, onWednesday afternoon, March 28. It wasunsuccessful. Captain Wood remainedwith Dr. Lane until last Monday, when hewas conveyed in un ambulance to the Pre-sidio. \u25a0 He had, iv fact, returned die.The shock was 100 much for th« system,and blood-poisoning set in. One thingthe operation did for his relief—it gavehim a painless death. The gallant officerpassed away quietly and peacefully with asigh.

Allthe cavalry went into ramp at Gil-roy last week and there were therefore nocavalry officers at the Presidio when hisdeath occurred yesterday. But. CaptainWood was well known to all the artilleryofficers as well and they had nothing butwords of admiration for his pluck and re-gret for his death. Flags were half-masted at the .Presidio, the Marine Hos-pital and the Government buildings.'Surceon Middletqu said his death re-

sulted from exhaustion and blood uoison-ing. The disease with which he Was at-tacked was epithalioma of the tongue. 0 Itwas supposed to have been given the op-portunity tomanifest Itself by smoking, ofwhich the deceased was very fond.

The funeral will, of course, be a mili-tary one, the remains being interred in thecemetery at the Presidio.

Captain Wood's record' was a good oneand embraced gallant service during thewar. He was a thorough soldier and asirave as a- lion. He was born iii I<>waS"Ptember 4, 1844, and in the course ofevents would have been retired in 1908.lie was appointed from lowa a cadet sitthe United States Military Academy July12,1868. liegraduated Juno 14, 1872. Heservtd a3 corporai, sergeant and first ser-geant of Company F, Thirteenth lowa In-fantry, from October 4. 1861, to June 6,1865. On June 7, 1865. he whs made sec-ond lieutenant of the Thirteenth and hon-orably mustered out on July 21 of thesame year.- On June 14, 1872, be was ap-L>oi ted second lieutenant of the FourthCavalry, U. S. A.;first lieutenant Novem-ber 25, 1876, and regimental quartermasterfrom July 6,1879, to February 1, 1880. Hereceived his; captaincy on June 30, 1883.

Captain Wood was one of the few menwho went into the war at the beginning,nerved through to the end and came out

\u25a0 onus enough to enter the military:acad-emy at West Point. He did not g > to WestPoint immedia'ely after his discharge fromthe army, however, but spent three yearsat school in lowa to prepare himself forthe academic course. He entered at theage of 23 under a special act of Congress.*

On account of bis magnificent horseman-ship he whs made instructor of cavalry,and he might have remained in this com-paratively comfortable berth lor four years,but he preferred duty iv the held, an d,jlining his regiment in the West, servedwith distinction in many of the mostserious Indian war?. During this servicehe accomplished the most remarkable featsin the way of.lone rides on record. Theyeclipsed those of the Russian officers whorode competitive races a year or 60 aco.,Mini are Wild ix-ver to have been equaled.On one occasion he led a troup oi 130 cav-alrymen 130 miles in Iwemy-fnur hoursacross the onrning Staked Plains of Texaswithout m drop of water, and brought iv

I every man and horse..During his service in the war between

the States he was inseventeen pitched bat-tles, four sieges and skirmishes and affraysinnumerable. , . -V' \u25a0 '^l§s-Si3sSH|Mfefl

The imperturbable composure of theman under air circumstances is fitlyIllus-trated by his last important act. Afterbeing assured that the surgical operationhe had decided ;to undergo would in allprobability result fatally he went into the"study" of Colonel Young at the Presidioand ni'ule a memorandum of .the details ofhis

"funeral in the t event of ;his death.

This finished he said: "There, that's all,aud Ihave one night more." He returnedwith Colonel Youtits io his own house andthere for sev«ral; hours" entertained withperfect nonchalance and evenirayety aparty of his army friends. .As he hud saidhe had one more night, and he spent itjust as he had done: many others.

< The funeral, which was to have takenplace ti-'l&y,has

;;been postponed} until to-

morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, inorder togive some oor.f r.the officer*,now at Gilroy,time to reach, the city. A troop of twentyleft.Gilroy yesterday afternoon and willreach the Presidio to-morrow morningearly. They will compose the funeralescort. #BBp*v Captain Wood's

CROSS COUNTRY TRAVELERS.An Organization Which Vies With

the Viennese Tourist Club.Anamnteur pedestriau ciub of 5000 mem-

bers seeuis incredible to most Americans,but Vienna, Austria, has an organization

of Hi.s character with the membershipmentioned, and one of its men belongs to

the Cross Country Club of this city, and hefondly hopes that in time the latter willhave at least a thousand men on its activerollcall.

WISE SETS TRAPS.

Going to Catch Chinese"Merchants."

FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES.

The Existence of a Ring MonpThan Suspected.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR ATTORNEYS

Names and Photographs of Membersof Chinese Firms Will Be Secured

to Prevent Deception.

The Collector of Customs has grownweary of landing Chinese who produco

certificates that they are merchants-. Haknows that many of them are laborers,brought here in violation of the exclusionact and the contract labor law, yet withthe assistance 01 uarcbasablo white wit-nesses and notaries whose consciences areindurated they are provided with thedocuments required by law, and upon lauu-Ing doff the disguise of merchants and be-come coolie laborers.

There is no doubt iv the Collee'or'smind of the existence of a ring in this citywhich is coining money by the landing ofChinese in violation of the law. Kp no:only knows that such a ring is in exist-ence, but thinks he knows some of themembers. Ho far, however, he ha 9beenunable to procure sufficient evidence towarrant their prosecutiou.

While the Collector cannot break theringhe has found a way to cripple it. Thecertificates given up by the Chinese re-fused a landing by him have hitherto beenplaced in court, where the lawyers andothers who use the habeas corpus millhave access to them. They arc thus madeacquainted with the features of the de-fense which the Collector makes later nuwhen the cases are tried. It is possible,the Collector thinks, that these certificatesare sometimes changed between the dateof the landing aud ttie trial, and changedin Him interest of the rlntf. Hereafterthese certificates will be kept by the Col-lect >r until the day of the trial, and tiie.'Utorneys for the Chinese will thus be pre-vented from using them to tbe injury ofthe Government.

The bogus merchant and his attorneywill nave a bard road to travel in thefuture. Six hundred Chinese are comingon the Peru, aud most of them willproduceevidence, such as it is, that they are part-ners in Chinese stores. Having landedthey will register and secure the right toremain in ttie country. A big batch ofsuch "merchants" was landed last week,and the Collector acknowledged when hesaw them in the cabin of the ship thatthey were a very respectable looking lot,but when he saw ;•. wagon-load of them onthe way to Chinatown they had all thecharacteristics of coolie laborers. Everyone of them had produced a certificate tothe effect that ho was a partner in a firmof merchants doing business in this city.Then came the instructions from the At-torney-General ordering the Collector toaccept and land as merchants only such as]appeared by name in the firm to whichthey claimed to belong.

Oiney'* order simplified the work of theCollector. It defined a partner as onewho is actively engaged in the business ofthe firm, aud barred out stockholders,solicitors and others.

But to assist their countrymen in land-ing id violation of the law many Chine»<jfirms have added tictitious Denies to theirpartnership roli. There is one firm thatlays claim to upward of seventy members,suuie of whom are in China.

The Collector will secure the names ofevery Chinese firm in the city ana ifpossible the photograph of every partnerin them. Then when a laborer seeks toland on the ground that he is a merchantthe fraud can be at once detected and land-ing refused. The Collector willnut acceptas partners all who are designated as -uchby the Chine-e firms, but willfollow therule of the United Statt'S Attorney-Oen-eral, that they only are partners who nr«actively engagod at the t flice or store ofthe conceriK
