SANTA CRUZ, Car, Sept. 17.—The delegates of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid So- ciety, now in convention at Hotel del Mar, do not confine themselves strictly 10 work, much as they give of their time to the cause of sweet charity for charity's sake. Cruz and vicinity allow them to pass the Miss M. Curtis, Grand Secretary of the Catholic Ladies” Aid Society. days of the convention week without a delightful variety of entertainment. Sum- mer days at Del Mar are a real delight of themselves, with everything that goesto make a holiday by the seaside pleasurable, The wonderful, calm, blue bay of Monte- rey, the tawny sands, the white breakers falling lazily at the feet of the bathers the walks by cliff and beach and the bright sunshine are well worth traveling miles to enjoy. The lady delegatesare, however, made to feel that th-re are still other pleasures 2ssociated with their visit. The social side of life is not forgotten and after the business sessions are over the evenings are :iven to receptions, dances and friendly calls, Last night a ball was given ia their honor at Capitola and Del Mar was ail but deserted, « xcept for the few who preferred arest on the broad piazzas or astroil in the mooniight. The hotel buses were packed with ladies and gentlemen, all of whom had an enjoyable ride to the neigh- boring seaside resort. The guests were received in the large ballroom at Capitola, where they spent a very pleasant "e"ins‘ It was midnight when they returned. To-night they attended a reception in the Sea Beach Hotel, Santa Crug, given by the Jadies of the Santa Cruz brancb. This was a really brilliant event, in which ladies and gentlemen of Santa Cruz parti- cipated. The ballroom was decorated for the occasion and the First Unitea States Infantry band discoursed appropriate mausic. Considerable work was done to-day by the Grand Council. The constitution was Nor will their friends in Santa | | of praise tor their work. | shail have powerto appoint as many dis- | grand directors—Mrs. M. J. Lohse, Miss | | 3. Breen, Mrs. M.

Dunng the year considerable money was expended in improvements about ihe hotel, and now (oward the season’s c.ose the resources in excess of labilities are $27150. A hore was expre-sed in the re- vor. that the indebtedness may be re- duced very soon. It was decid d by vote that the Hotel del Mar be closed Cetober 1 for 1he winter months.

The delegates irom Brancn 9, San Fran- cisco, presented a recommensation limit- ing the service of grand officers to two yeirs, but it was lost, as a majority of those in convention held distinctiy differ- ent views on this subject. In amending the constitution, article X, section 1, which gives to chairmen of re- ief committees the disbursing of ail money for relief purposes, according to the committee’s approvsl, was abolished. The clause of section 6, article VII, re- quiring a bond from the treasurer o: each branch was eliminated. Withr gard to dues the limit to which a member may go w.thout being in ar- rears was raise ! from 75 cents to $1 50, and the time when a member loses ihe right to men bership through arrears was changed | from four to eight montus. Hereafter branches will be held respon- ible for their per capita tax only accord- | in: to membership in good standing, and | the grand secretary will invite each branch to send reports to meetings of the board of | grand d:rectors. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. P.J. White for having secured the Rev. P. C. Yorke for a recent lecture un- der the society’s nuspices. When the af ‘ernoon session opened the Parish Herald, a readable little paper pub- lished 1n St. Josepun’s parish, San Fran- cisco, was chosen as the official organ of the society.

STALWARTS BOLT AT LOS ANGELES Claim That the Populists Have Swallowed the Democracy. THEY APPEAL TO REASON Urge the Defeat of a Ticket Composed of Mountebanks and Anarchists. TO SAVE THE PARTY'S NAME. Loyal Dem crats Are Called Upon to Meet in Mass-Convention and Organize. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 17.—In the | opinion of a iarge number of stalwart Democrats of this county .the late fusion of that party with the Populists has oblit- erated the Democracy, at least for the time being. In view of thisa proPisional com- mittee has been formed to reerganize the County Democracy in order that the party of Jefferson and Jackson may maintain its autonomy. This committee has prepared an appeal to the varty, which is, in part, as follows: To the Los Ange’es Democracy: The socialistic leaders in the late D mocratic party of the county. and the socialistic adherents of the Peo)le’s party, have united to elect a setof candidates who pander to foreign soclalizm for support and have no enduring affectiou for | judicial declinations from the fusion ele- | the principles of Democracy. The ingenuity of those who have carried these unholy combinations into effect will bring inevitable ruin to the Democratic party unless true and loyal Democrais rise up and drive the (raitors into political obivion. The great impetus that hes been given to the silver agitation presents the opportuui'y of a lifetime for yolitical mountebanks to organizs the soeialistic eiements, with a hope that the yublic mind will be eutranced by the agiia- | tion 2nd become oblivious to the venal dupiic- | ity of rascally cffice-seekers who covet nomi- nations and wan: office at any cost. patriots for revenue care nothing for the principles that & one are the life-sustaining canse of the Democratic party. Therefore, urged by these considerations and appealing to our fellow-Democrats for an imparial judgment of our actinns, we urge | them to meet in mass conventious, e ect their county committeemen, take appropriate aciion respecting the nomination of Democratic can- didates, and reorganize the Democratic party in the county of Los Angeles.
