The California State Woman’s Suffrage ]!d.ucahun Association, or rather that part of it of which Mrs, Laura de Force Gordon is President, will hold its yearly meeting in Pythian Castle Hall on Mariet strect,Tues- ! day morning, beginning at 10 o’clock. It is nearly a year now since the split in the organization occurred and some of the animosities that were aroused at that time have been forgotten or outgrown. And though the programme is that two distinct yearly meetings of bodies that hold the same title will be held on the same day there are no indications of war. Peace is the watchword now and it is more than likely that an effort will be made to con- solidate the two bodies. Mrs. Gordon is for peace—on certain con- ditions. “I, for one,” she said last even- ing, *‘wounld be in favor of indorsing the Golden Gate meetings’ ticket provided it is composed of women who are‘in earnest in the work, instead of society women who are only in the movement as afad. Of course, I am only speaking of myself, you understand. “Our yearly meeting has been regularly advertised and wil! be held Tuesday morn- ing.

The bioomerites, as the park people call | the female cyclers, were out in iu{l force, | and every shade of color was represented | in the bloomers, from somber black to | flaring cardinal.

THE WM SUFFRAGSTS, Divided Camps Will Hold Sep- arate Meetings on Tuesday Morning. Two Bodles Lay Claim to the Same \ Charter and Title—Both to Elect Officers. The Califorgia State Woman’s Suffrage for the purpose of voting upon several pro- posed amendments to the constitution and electing officers for the ensuing year. | Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, State presi- dent, will occupy the chair at the 2 o’clock session, aud in the evening a mass-meeting will be held, especially arranged for those who cannot attend the day session. Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw will ad- dress both meetings upon the suffrage question, and an invitation to membership in the association is cordially extended to all-men as well as women. The cam- paign committee appointed by the recent Woman's Congress is acting as auxiliary to the Suffrage Association, and Mrs. Blinn states that the members are doing a good deal of hard work in arousing popular thought and action on the subject of woman’s suffrage. In speaking of to-mor- row’s meeting, Mrs. Blinn said: ““While every one will be welcome after- noon and evening, the evening session will be more interesting to outsiders. Most of the afterncon business will be to a great extent of the routine sort—a discussion of | amendments 10 the coustitution, electing transact our business in the regular way. a desire to see who would wield the con- | ;lll course, we regret that Miss Anthony | as seen fit to side with the other branch of the society, and we feel that this would not have been the case had she heard all the facts of the dispute. However, both societies are doing good work for the same cause, and I think'we ought to avoid all unpleasantness. Idon’t know, too, but what it is just pas well to have two good | active bodies in the field in_the place of one larze one.. A large organization is apt to get top-heavy. As I said, though, we are for peace and for the good of the cause, and I am _satisfied that wise counsel will prevail in both meetings.” Young Suffragists.

SIVING A LITTLE CHILD The Mexican Girl Suffering in.an Abode of Misery ;Kindly Cared For. Mrs. Dooley Szanlk, President of the District Nurses’ Associa~ tion, Takes Her Home. Little Marie Hernandez, a Mexican child, who was dying in one of the dingy rooms of an old rookery on the Barbary ! Coast, for want of proper care, has been removed to the home of Mrs. Annie E. Dooley-Szanik, at 803 Bush street, where she is speedily improving. Her removal irom the foul air of the room at 520 Broad- way, where her mother and three other children have lived in poverty since the father deserted them several months ago, to the clean, pure air of her new home, has brought happiness to the little one, and the kindly care she is receiving at the hands of Mrs. Dooley-Szanik, president of the District Nurses’ Association, has put her in a fair way to recover fully from a very severe illness. The numerous rooms in the old building on Broadway are occupied by families whose poverty and sickness in many cases would touch’ the hardest of hearts. But there was no instance of suffering in that wretched place quite so pitiable as that of little Marie. ‘The mother was utterly helpless in lack of physical strength and means to p ovldegn'operly for her child. The attendnce of a physician and the purchase of medicines were necessary, but she had no means and seemed ignorant of how to secure them otherwise. The King's Daughters first looked into the case, sent a physician and did many kindnesses, and were preparing a room for the taking care of the cnild at their Home for Incurables, at 217 Francisco street, but as the child required immediate care the District Nurses” Association took the child to the home of the president, where she now is happy and cheerful. ‘‘The balance of the Hernandez family need attention as do many others in that abode of misery on the Earbnry Coast,” said Mrs. Dool?’-Szanik yesterday. *“It would be impossible to describe theinisery and filth that pervade the place. One must go and see and it takes a brave heart to stay there for long enough to see it all. I did not believe there couid be so muc] misery in one building in 8an Francisco. There is in that building alone s great deal to occupy the attention of charitably dis- posed persons.”” .

Anna H. Shaw Answered the Question in a Morn- ing Sermon, “FOLLOWING AFTER A VISION " Agnostic Definition of Christianity Accepted and Visionists Justlified. Rev. Anna H Shaw, at the California- street Methodist Episcopal Church yester- day morning, discussed the question, “What is it to be a Christian?” taking her text from the chapter in Acts which relates Paul’s defense before Agrippa. Her ! line of thought and many of her expres- sions were identical with those of D. L. Moody, the celebrated evangelist, when speaking from the same text, Toward the close of the sermon, however, she branched out into almost startling originality, and, apparently accepting the agnostic defini- tion of Christians—those who follow after a vision—maintained eloquently that no one had ever sncceeded in life who had not a vision before his eyes. Before the sermon proper Miss Shaw re- ferred briefly to the work in connection with which, rather than as an ordained minister, her name is most widely known. She said: The work of women has been_ largely alon lines of reform. These reforms help the gospe! cause. If we did not believe tnat so many of us would not be working in them. The con- verse is also true, and as won an’s work tends to the elevation of mankind the opening of the churches to this work is eminently proper. Everything that tends to good citizenship has its proper place in the church, for no man is fit 10 be a citizen of the kingdom of God who is not a good citizen of the country in which God has placed him upon the earth. Miss Shaw referred to the theological problems which are of interest at the present time. People are not so much questioning what is above or beyond, but what is here and now—what is in man. Therefore practical theology of the present day resolves itselito the question, “What is Christianity ?" This question was being answered in many diiferent ways. Some believed that they were Christians because they lived in a so-called Christian land. They had vrided themselves upon it for so long that they had come to believe it, though body knew that one might be born in tian home and live all hislifeamong Christian people yet never feel one thrab of genuine Christianity. Others held that membership in a_Chris- tian church or a belief in the doctrines of the church were the necessary requisition. Yet Christianity was a life. The belief, the action and the feeling were necessary, but one might have all these and be the | variest hypocrite on earth. More was needed. The difference between the mere religionist and the true Christian was pre- isely the difference between Seul and | Tarsus, the religious bigot, persecuting even unto death those who did rot believe with him, and Paul, the Apostle, who, when in chains before Aerippa, would not have his enemies suffer the bonds he him- self wore. Miss Shaw then told a story of a Cape Cod agnostic whom she had known. At his funeral she offered a prayer and then listened while a_selection airing his views was read. Itcalled Christians ‘‘followers after a vision,” and said that they must be weak minded, since the guide to a strong mind must be reason. Said Miss Shaw: There never vet was a strong man, and there | never will be a strong one who has not | followed after a vision. It is so in the | material world. The boy on the seashore | watches the ships pass by, then paces the shore | proudly, seeing in & vision himself the master of a gallant craft. He goes to sea, and the in- | spiration of that vision enables him to bear the hardships of his trade and rise through the various grades till his vision is realized, Alady once met a tiny urchin who boasted of being in business. He was offlce-boz to 8 Jawyer and made $1 50 a week, He thought thai a great deal of money, but when asked if he intended to remain an office-boy he scorn- fully replied in the negative and announced thai he wouid be a Judge. He had had his vis- | fon and in it he saw a courtroom and on the bench a Judge whose face was his. The difference between the boy who goes to sea & cook and dies a captain and the one who dies & sailor before the mast—between the bo: who starts an office-boy and dies a Judge and the one who dies a janitor—is the difference between the one who follows a vision and the | one who does not. | Getting back to her text once more, Miss Shaw stated that Christianity was the Christ-likeness acquired by constant inter- course with the character of Christ. She illustrated it by speaking of her father and mother, who had lived together - sixty years. Physically they were unlike, yet 1o those who knew them they looked alike because their souls had “grown alike through the years of constant association. PETER WAS HUMAN. Miss Shaw Talks of Christ and Peter at the Plymouth Congrega- tionai Church. The announcement {hat Dr. Anna Howard Shaw would occupy the pulpit of the Plymouth Congregational Church last night drew an audience that filled the spacious building to overflowing. When the exercises began the aisles were filled nearly to the pulpit, and the gallery was equally crowded. Miss Shaw took for her text the sixth verse of the third chapter of Acts: “Then Peter said, ‘Silver and gold have I none, but such as I haye I give unto thee.”” Miss Shaw said of all the pictures pre- sented in the Bible none surpassed this. “Peter. in his denial of Christ was so human, so like the most of us, that whatever Peter does is always of interest to us. 7 The speaker described the events leading up to the denial of Christ by Peter. In her pleasant earnest way she depicted the feelings of Christ when he saw his servant tatkipg to a young girl and denying that he killed him. “Then the Lord.looked at Peter, and such a look of love, of pity, of kindness, of entleness and of pain, never shone from Euman face,’ she said. ‘“No man or woman was fitted to battle with the world unless imbued with the love of Christ. Every reformer has had a passion for truth and justice. 1f there is one woman I re- spect above all others it is Susan B. An- tgony. When a young girl she left a home of riches to go out into the world and bat- tle for the freedom of mankind. Nowoman was everso much sneered and jeered at, and yet she went through it all with a serenity that was beautiful to behold.” THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Retirement of Second Assistant Chiet Kennard and Appointment of Thomas Fernandez. The recent retirement of Second Assistant Chjef Kennard of the Fire Department has bronght up many old time memories among the veterans of the early volunteer companies, and shadows of Scannell, Wittman, Whitney and the rest flit by as the subject of early fires is discussed. Noone has ever been held in higher esteem than George Kennard, and the highly complimentary resolutions passed by the Board of Fire (i;mminloner: :: eir last meeting voice the sentiment :llll.

She Will Load Four Thousand Tons of Wheat for Liverpool. The big British steamer Port Stephens arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W., with 3710 tons of coal. The passage was an un- eventful one and occupied thirty-two days. Captain Whitehead reports that he made no attempt o push his ship, or he might have made the run in twenty-six days. The Port Stephens is on her maiden voyage, having been built the latter part of 1894. Bhe is 345 feet long, 44 feet 1 inch broad” and 18 feet 2 inches deep. As soon as discharged sie will load 4000 tons of the Fair wheat and sail direct for Liverpool. ON THE NATIONAL STAFF The Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army Honors California. E. B. Griffith of This City and J. H. Shepard of Oakland Ap- pointed Colonels. Recent dispatches from the East an- nounce that General Thomas V. Lewler, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has in general orders ap- pointed E. B. Griffith of this City colonel on the National staff of that organization. The orders to that effect have not yet been received here, but they are expected within a few days. Mr. Griffith has been prominent in Grand Army circles in this City for several years, and his comrades will be pleased to learn of the recogniticn he has received from E. B.Griffith, Recently Appointed on'the National Staff of the Grand Army. {From a.photograph.] the National commander. During the war he served in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, the regiment by which Jeff Davis. wag.cap~ tured. He participated. in seventy battles and skirmishes, among them -being Mur- freesboro, Lost Mountain, . Atlanta . and Missionary Ridge. . He ‘was woundedin the leit leg at New Hope ‘Church, but- his limb was saved. 3 2 The regiment was mustered out at Edge- mont, Tenn., in July; 1865, and Mr. -Grif: fith, baving enlistedvnt the age of 15 years, was the youngest soldier in_his company. After “the war Mr:. Griflitk, - being -a rinter, went back to workat the case. He as lived in San Francisco for many years and has takeu an-active partin Republican politics, - He' belongs to the working wing of the party, and has served twice on ‘the County Commirttee. In 1886 and again in 1888 he was the Republican nominee for Assembly for the old Thirty-eighth Dis- trict, and during the latter year was de- clared elected. He was deprived of his seat at Sacramento, however, by a count-out, which created considerable sensation at the time. Mr. Griffith joined the Grand Army in 1887 as a charter member of Liberty Post, of which he is now commander. He bas also served as licutenant-colonel on the staff of the department commander. The dispatch which announced the ap- ointment of M, Griffith stated that a like Eonor had been conferred on J. H. Shep- ard of Oakland.

THE .RELIEF SOCIETIES' WORK. Contributions Pouring in on All Sldes for the Unfortunates of the Fire. The burned district of Thursday night’s fire was crowded all day yesterday by such persons as had not been able to visit it during the week, and the hokey-pokey, fruit and candy men did a thriving busi- ness. It was a blustery, windy day that blew the ashes and cinders into every one’s eyes and made a very detailed investiga- tion of the ruins very unpleasant. While there were some of the sufferers by the fire around the donation booth, yet the most of them were away trying to get such of their belongings as were saved into shape, and many of them whom the relief burean were helping were out looking for flats and new homes. Many new signs have been placed around, and one enterprising local manu- facturer had a large placard over,a badly burned and damaged safe, stating that its contents were found intact thirty-six hours after the fire, and calling on every one to patronize home industry. < Many of the members of St. Rose’s parish attended vesterday’s service at St. Brendan’s Church at Fremont and Har- rison streets, and as the most of them had lost everything except their ordinary clothes, their appearances were at times very sad. 1t is the intention to erect a temporary structure on Brannan street until St. Rose’s Church shall be rebuilt, and work npoi both will be commenced early in the week. There have been many offers of clothing and supplies on all sides, and_the various benevolent societies, including the Ex- aminer relief bureau, are doing very good ! work. The San Francisco Benevolent Society, whose headquarters are at 601 Commercial street, have appropriated $1000 and are looking into the various cases_and, when evidently deserving, are arranging for the payment of one month’s rent in suitable quarters, with an ample supply of food and clothing. They will be glad to receive donations of clothing, furniture, etc., and will see that a proper distribution is made. Mrs. Agnes W. Flint, the registrar, reports numerous applications and has been very busy. The Fruit and_ Flower Mission of 420 Post street is doing good work and is working in conjunction with the Episcopal Mission on Second street, near Folsom, where donations can be sent. 2 They had only two cases of sickness in the burned district, consisting of .a lady and her boy, at 2214 Freelon street. = They have been unable to locate them since the fire and would like to krow: their where- abouts. The New Woman’s Club, at 317 Mason street, has been very busy getting dona- tions of food, clothing and furniture and were successful yesterday in gétting con- tributions from over fifty families. They will be called for this morning and taken to the Episcopal Mission at Second and Folsom streets. Many of the more ‘deserv- ing of the unfortunates hesitate to apply to the bureaus. Mrs. Rumsey of the club says they will be glad to’hear of any such instances where misfortune can be made the less hard to bear. The Episcopal Mission, in charge-of Rev, W. I. Kip, and to which the Woman’s Club and the Fruit and Flower Mission are send- ing their supplies, has been givinig ‘much attention to the details of the relief work.

The question of “the co-operation of They Both Want Land for Cultiva~ A conference meeting of the cfficers and directors of the California Co-operative Commonwealth and.those of. tle Labor Exchange was held ‘last evening at the dwelt at some length upon the degrada. tion of the ferent classes, the serfs o Russia, the miners of England and the women of this country, Until the ballot was placed in the hands of the miners of England the men were nothing more nor less than slaves, but the moment it was given them and they had the power to ‘make or unmake governments, then these men became a power that was constantly sought after; and as soon as they received that power the bitterest opponent of the movement to give it to them was the first to move the appropriation of public money to educate the miners’ children. She spoke of the women of to-day, ex: cept where the ballot had been given them, as being in the same state of degradation as were the miners of England before they were given the right to vote. She traced the suffrage movement of the United States and declared that until the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution were adeopted the country was a white man’s oligarchy. She then drew attention to the difference in the manner of treatment of the colored man by the white before and after he ob- tained the right to vote and instanced the case of Senator Revels, who, when a preacher in Kansas, before he had theright - to vote, was looked down upon by every white man, but when things ¢changed and he was sent to the United States Senate he was courted on every side. Theemancipa- tion of the negro was not because of a high regard for thecolored man, but a mfiitnry necessity, and the enfranchise- ment of the colored man a means to keeip the Republican party in power, & power it could bave maintained if the party had protected the colored man at the polls. Miss Anthony then spoke of the power women will yield in this State after No- vember, 1896, if the white mer: and colored men do their duty, go to the polls and strike the word ‘““male” from that section granting the right of suffrage. Until that is done woman will always be the slave of man. She illustrated her remarks by a pumber of pointed anecdotes, which were appreciated by the women in the congre- gation, Speaking of the women who vote at municipal elections in Kansas, she said: “No Kansas negro woman ever sold her vote.” “Women, when they get the ballot,” she said, “will not only be independent, but they will be respected by the men because when they have the right to use that little piece of paper their opinions will be the same as tgnt of the men on election days when it becomes crystalized into law.” She urged all the women present to set themselyes to work to remove the ignor- ance that stands in the way of woman's advancement and makes her the slave of man. She said in conclusion that she never felt better in San Francisco before an audience than she did then, because she was speaking to men who at one time were on a par with her as regards rights, and she felt sure that the knowing the injustice they had suffered, would recognize the injustice women are made to sul Burglars in a Saloon.

The immediate relief of the unemployed isthe main object cf both the common- wealth and the exchange, and to this end each organization seeks to acquire land for cultivation. Though nothing was definitely decided upon - last evening—the meeting bein rather informal and for the exchange o ideas than of an executive chagacter—it was rather well understood at its® conclu- sion that active steps would soon be taken toward the practical co-operation of the two societies, and to discuss ways and means of accomplishing this end a special meeting was called for Wednesday evening. It was_ agreed last evening that bot organizations should first work together to acquire land, then to establish industries for manufacturing the necessaries of life and in which the unemployed might find work, Another point upon which a prac- tical agreement was reached was that of the interchange of commodities between the two societies. All of these matters will come up for action at the Wednesday evening meeting. MISS ANTHONY'S TALK, She Addresses a Union Meet- ing of Colored Church Congregations.
