THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1896. WILL RATIY HER PLANKS The Woman Suffragists’ Mass-Meeting Tues- | day Evening. WON IN THREE PARTIES Tabled by the Democratic Con- vendon With Hardly a Hearing. REVIEW OF THE CONVENTION.

Only e Democratic platform will be left out of ratifying and the uncavalierly de- | meanor of the Jeffersonian brotherhood at | ramento this week will doubtlessly be quently reviewed. | ‘‘However,” said Miss Hay at the| rage headquarters vesterday afternoon, | ere is something Democratic we will ratify and that is the 149 delegates in the convention that voted for us and our modest plank. So coolly were we and our 40,000 petitioners set aside by the Demo- cratic party of the State of California that we had hard work to get our cause from being tabled for good. Finally we got & rollcall and out of 569 votes we got 149. “So we intend to ratify the effort of those 149 ballots, because, small as that number is, it represents the thousands of Deraocratic names among the 40,000 on our petition. “One thing we gained from our rather el barren trio to Sacramento lasi week was | ¢ the real expression of California Democ- cv.

The next step was to secure & minority re- port in order to bring it before the conven- tion, and_we had the assurance of C. Wesley Reed of San Francisco that tais should be done. He kept his word, although he also had other fights on hand, snd aithough he en- dangered them by standing for woman sui- frage. This minority report, although prop- | erly drawn and signed by four members of the platform committee, including the chairman of this committee, was “smothered” by the secretary of the convention and its chairman, Every other minority report was read and acted upon by the conyention. That alone on woman suffrage was held back. In vain Mr. Reed protested, the chairman ignored him and called for a vote on the platiorm asa whole. It was adopted with & roar, and our fight was lost! It was near midnight. We had sat two long daysin the convention, had slept but little, were worn out and ver<, very wrathy. At this juncture John P.Irish addressed the conven- tion, stating that a very distinguished lady was present, etc., ete., and would they hear Miss Susan B.

It was & dramatic aud impressive scene, one not to be forgottel At its concl 1 there were loud cries f Anna Shaw. The little fighter was at the boil- ing point, but she stepped upon the platform with a smile, and, with that sarcasm of which she is complete mistress, sbe supplemented Miss Anthony's remarks, As she stepped down, if the convention were on their feet de- manding the minority report. The chairman stated that it was too late for that, but a resoiution might be offered.

Alameda Connty, led by W. W. Foote, gave 32 noes and 3 ayes, yet this county sent in the largest peition for woman suffrage of any in the State. The vo detail will be consid- ered hereafter. Suffice it to say we secured what we went after—a vote of the convention. The moral and political effect of this vote is discussed by Miss Anthony in further on. When we we out of the convention hall into the moonlight we found James Phelan awaiting us with several carriages, into which we were piaced with great kindness and cour- tesy by that gentleman and sent to our hotel. 1 wish it were possible to give the names of all who stood by us so bravely in & position diffi- : We know those cult for us and for them. names by heart, and they will be remembered. Miss Susan B. Anthony had the follow- ing to say: For the Democratic convention to give 149 votes for a woman suffrage resolution was really a greater victory for our cause than was the almost unanimous vote of the Republican Convention of a month ago. The Republicans Rave from time to time, when there was no tical issue at steke, passed favorable reso- ons; but never beiore, in any State where an amendment was pending, did any Repub- lican convention put its imprimatur upon it until that of California, at Sacramento, on May 3, So that, Father Solomon to’the contrar; omething new under the sun” did It wasa great and grand step iat presaged triumph for usat the polls on November 3. It was what I most ear- nestly hoped, but hardly dared to expect.

The State Suffrage Association next Tuesday will remove from 1630 Folsom street 10 its new headquarters in the great Emporium building on Market street. The rooms selected are numbers 563, 564 on the fifth floor. One of the apartments will be fitted as a reception- room and the others as offices for the president and working officers. A stenographer and typewriter will be added to the staff of the headquarters and the rooms kept open day and evening. Mrs. Ida Harper, chairman of the press committee, will be in constant attendance to supply information. Itis the intention of all the members of the association to remain at work until after the election in the inierest of the cause of woman’s suffrage. oppe th ears in whi thus pledge | WILL HAVE THE GUARD.

Body of a Male Infant Found Yesterday Afternoon. The body of a male baby was found in the thick brush on a vacant lot at tbe cor- i ner of Francisco and Larkin streets by Policeman John F. O'Brien yesterday afternoon. A number of newspapers were carefully wrapped around the infant’s re- mains and sufliced as a coffin. It was evident that the child was born alive and then smothered, or put to death In any event a crime has been committed, and the detectives who have been pluced on the case are searching high and low for some clew svhich will lead to the perpe- trators of the outrage. —————— Backed Down the Elevator.

This is the| woman in dentistry. | In the class of 1396 of the College of | Dentistry of the University of California, | which was graduated last Thursday, were | five young ladies. They were the same | “sweet-girl graduate” that ornament the piatform of female seminaries and high schools in commencement weeks. If there was any difference it was thatl the fair dentists looked a little brave, for | there is a peculiar experience acquired in | an active dental clinic with suffering tooth- | aches to operate on that can be observed | nowhere else. But while the rule scems to | be that none go to the dentist’s chair as | long as they can go anywhere else, pe! haps with woman behind it her gentie | touch may add a new and unexpected so- lace to the man with the forceps in his jaw. Pernaps, too, her smile may dissi- pate the toothache as ‘‘sunlight drinketh | dew.” Anvhow, who does mnot wish it so | could eat cactus withont a whimper, and has no need for the doctor of dental sur- ery. & The young lady graduates are Miss Anna Sawyer of 733 Bush street, Miss Gae McDonald of 107 Fair Oazks street, Mrs. | Mary L. Baird of 1426a California street, | Mrs. Matilda Ayers of 4 Hyde sireet and | Mrs. Amy Maxted Gilbert. With one ex- | ception, perhaps, all are going to begin | practice in San Francisco, Several will | take a recreation of a month or two after therr three years’ study, but all will have shingles out in the bhreeze ‘‘bhefore the frost | is on the pumpkin.” Miss Sawyerleft the City last evening for an outing, Miss Ayers wut’ go next Monday, and Mrs. Gilbert will go away in a few days to be absenta month. Miss Avers and Miss McDonald are tbinking about opening an office together. Their signs may o up at Miss McDonald's home, where their chairs will be set up in one of the parlors, and divided by screens. | One of the young lady graduates went to school with her husband, and they both graduated and acquired titles at the same time last Thursday night. The degrees are “D.D.S.” Her gign is already on the front window of a neat California-street flat, and above it is that of her husband. A chair has been set up, the myriads of little instruments are in sight, and as Dr. Mary L. Baird sat in the office and perlor yesterday afternoon, she said: “I am ready for business.” She said it, too, with a demure professional air. “'Wiu you treat men or women, or both?” “I will treat gentlemen if they want me,” she said. That is what all the young lady dentists do, too. So there is an entirely new refuge for the young man | in pain. Surely the toothache should not now drive a young man to drink. The young ladies think there is as much ovportunity for practical success for women in dentistry as for men. They | point to a lady in San Francisco who has | been practicing dentistry thirty-eight | years, and has built up a good practice, as | 2 shining example of woman’s possibility | in dental surgery. Thisis the first class graduated by the | college in which there were any number of ladies. The only other lady graduate of the college is Miss Armstrong, of the class of 1891, who is said not to have entered practice yet. The faculty speaks nighly of the capabilities of the young ladies, as well as the forty-seven young men of the class. Miss Ayers said yesterday afternoon that; the nervousness at first naturally attendant upon operations in the chinic soon wore away, and that now she would not hesitate any more to pull a tooth with a pair of forceps than to eat a strawberry. In describing bow to pull a tooth, M: Gilbert said: ‘‘Itis not the strength that does it so much as knowing how to do it.” WILL GIVE ONE CONTEST The St. George’s Club Declares That It Does Not Intend to Hold Ath- letic Tournaments.

The Local Federal Force Has Hith- erto Been a Profitable Field for Note-Shavers. Local note-shavers and money-brokers are much disturbed over an order just is- sued by the Postmaster-General concern- ing the loaning of money to carriers, postal clerks and other Government employes. There are several hundred Federal em- ployes in San Francisco, there being no less than 207 letter-carriers. The money sharks have had an easy thing of it, cash- | ing thirty, sixty and ninety-day notes and accepting an order on the Postmaster, au- thorizing the amount to be withheld from the clerk’s or carrier’s salary. The following order, however, isintended to dampen the ardor of those who have for so many years successfully carried on their cent per cent game: My attention baving been called to the fact thai certain money-lending concerns are ad- vertising to loan money to railway postal clerks, letter-carriers and otber Government employes, taking & note therefor and an order upon the paying postmaster anthorizing the amount to be withneld from the clerk’s salary in the event of his failure to pay the note at I desire to state on behalf of the Postoficé Department that such agreenfents are disapproved; that paying postmasters are forbidden to recognize the orders guarantee- ing the payment of such notes, and that indi- viduals or companics loaning money to em- ployes of this department under any_such guarantee will receive no aid or assistatiee in the collection of their accounts. WiLLiam L. WiLsON, Postmaster-General. The local authorities are pleased over the stand taken by the department at Washington. It relieves them of a great deal of trouble and incidentally saves the employes hundreds of doliars yearly. — e A TRANSFER DAMAGE CASE. The Market-Street Railway Company Sued for %5000, The first damage suit against the Market- street Railway Company because of Mr. Vining’s mixed transfer system was filed yesterday. W. L. 8mith is the plaintiff, and in the | complaint he recites how he boarded a Powell-street car, paid his fare, and at rowell and Market streets received a transfer to Market street. He boarded a MecAllister-street car, presented his check, was refused transportation thereon and | ejected from the car. By reason of the Market-street Railway’s refusal to carry the plaintiff to his in- tended destination, and by reason of the violence and indignities heaped upon him, Mr. Smith claims to have been damaged in the sum of $5000, for which he asks judgment. He also prays that the court have re- turned to him the 5 cents he was com- pelled to pay on the car which carried him home after being put off the tirst one. —————— PAPINTA'S LILY DANCE. Five Hundred Yards of Silk to Make One Flower. Papinta presented a new dance last night at the Orpheum, which aroused con- siderable interest. For the first time she appeared without her murrors, and took the whole stage with her gyrationsana her draper ies. In her new dance she required all the room which an unencumbered stage could afford. When the curtain went up all that was visible was a moving mass of sott white silk. Gradually Papinta was dis- cerned beneath it as she began her gyra- tions. Tne silk spread itself out into petals and ended by assuming the form of a perfect lily of huge dimensions. Five hundred yards of silk are required for this dance, which is known as the lily dance. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. ASHIORTH CUTS - OUT A MILLION.

Cadences of Music Should Cease at the Midnight Hour. The revized statement of Thomas R. Ashworth, Superintendent of Streets, was received by the Grand Jury at the regular session yesterday afternoon. At the special session last Wednesday evening, when Mr. Ashworth conferred with the jury to consider his estimate of $1,500,000 to maintain the department for the next fiscal year, he explained that ali improvements deemed desirable were in- cluded in his estimate placed before the Board of Supervisors. Moreover, he pre- sented the fact that a large percentage of the sum of $526,000 allowed for the present fiscal year had been expended under con- tracts awarded directly by the Super- visors. The Superintendent was therefgre asked to submit a statement of the actual neces- sities of his department for the year be- ginning July 1 next—an estimate not to include the cost of any contracts for work that may be awarded bv the Board of Supervisors and payable out of the Street Department fund. In accordance tbere- with the following was submitted : For county roads. $10,000 Street sweepin: 120,000 Cleaning and repairing sewers and mate- tedjal for same 70,000 Repaving and repsiring accepted streets. 200,000 Improvewment in front of City proverty ... 16,000 Improvement and malutenance of public parks.. = g 30,000 lmprovement in front of public parks. 30.000 Total.. $475,000 The foregoing represents & reduction of more than a miliion dollars when com- pared with the figures forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. Next week the Grand Jury will take up the School Department figures. The Board of Education asks for $1,500,000, indicating that the sum of 0,000 is required for new schoothouses. The purpose of the in- vestigation is to secure the co-operation of the School Directors in an effort to obtain a reasonable tax levy. A short time ago the Grand Jury com- mittee on dives and social evils—a com- mittee of which E. E. Cheever is chair- man and Jacob Martenstein and J. J. O’Farreil are members—submitted a re- port in favor of closing the dives at mid- night. The District Attorney was asked to draw an amendment to order No. 1537, to the end that the recommendation of the committee may be carried out. Accord- ingly the following amendment was pre- pared and transmitted to the Board of Supervisors, with the request that it be adopted: Sec. 52. It shall be unlawful for any per- son to keep open, maintain, carry on or con- quct sny saloom, dancenouse, barroom or drinking place where liquor is sold and music furnished or played, between the hours of 12 o’clock midnight and 6 o’clock A.
