All sorts of additions were made for the oceasion and never has such a serenade been heard or seen in San Francisco. Many of the eampers were unduly *‘in- | spired’” for the occasion. The serenade increased in volume, but not in harmony, and as midnight approached Mr. and Mrs. Wrizht were forced to board a late eiec- trie car ant seek peace and seclusiou in | this city.

They are Edwin Wright and Miss Grace Sornberger. They knew of no reason why they should not be made one last year, but they quietly concluaed thav if ihey were-intended for each otber they could wait. So a solemn compact was éntered into that they should separate and not communpicate with ch other, but should meet again when the cannery ovened up this year.

BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 4 —Ben Kurtz, ireshman whose face was terribly ¢mashed in the rush last Monday, has re- covered irom his injuries sufficiently to | give an account of how he was hurt. His | story surrounds the unfortunate affair with a good deal of mystery. Kurtz declares that he was leit in ch e of sophomores that were tied up during the afternoon, among them being President Mil'er of the sophomore class. He had nstructions to guard them and was doing so, when a number of class- mates of the tied-up men charged on him to eiffect a release. They knocked ‘him {over and he thinks that his face was stepped on in the scrimmage. i President Miller is inclined {o think that Anotber explanation offered is that Kurtz was steppea on by some one of the im- | mense crowd at the rush. The victim's report of the matter is borne out, however, by remarks he made during the delirium following the accident. Kurtz wasa long | time in comingz to his senses and he con- stantly dropped remarks during his men- +al wanderings that showed his mind was bent upon guarding the sophomore. | Asthe unforiunate student lay uncon- sc.ous he constantly repeated the arders | he had received—to guard the tied-up’00 men. Kurtz’s injuries are not as bad as at first | reported, but they will disfizure him for life. There is great svmpathy for him in the student body, and a liberal response has been made to the call for subscrip- | tions to pay dcctors to attend the un- lucky rusher. Philosophical Discussions. BERKELEY, CaAL., Sept. 4—The Philo- | sophical Union has issued & programme of meetings for the present college year, to conclude with an address next August by Professor James of Harvard, on s work, *“The Wiil to Believe, etc.” The next meeting will be held on September 24, when Professor T.P.

Pay for SOCIETY IS AT LAST RELIEVED Issues Its Exclusive Invitations, May Be Tabooed by Many Whose Aid Has Not Been Asked, { The Secret Committes Will Do All Its Work Through a Private P. 0. Box. | OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRavcisco CArt,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 4. | The invitations tothe new danc club, for which society has been l!ooking for many weeks, were issned to-day. The new organization is to be known asthe Saturday Evening Dancing Ciub, and it is evident that its purpose is to take the p'ace of and to prevent the revival of both | tha Fortnightiy and the Denx Temps. | The iuvitation list has been carefully drawn and has been comp led by a secret committee of three. Those who have laid the foundation of the club are now exisi- ing in fear and trembling till they receve the acceptances. Upon the acceptances depend the future of the club, and they will at once show whether the new ambi- tion is to be the success that its organizers anticipate or whe'her it is to be the club of an exclusive set, with a rival organized by socialleaders who may consider them: selves ignored. The invitations sta‘e that there will be eight dances during the season, the first on October 9 and the Iast on April 22 The following little paragraph is what is causing the trep‘dation of the Saturday Evenings’ founder. “It is imperative that a definite answer be given and forwarded to the comuiittee not later than September 15. Should no answer be received from you by that tiae, it will be considered an intimation that vour place will be A< thecommittee is anonymous, and as the club is entirely new it is not easvto see how ‘“your nlace'’ will be filled if a favorable answer be not received, because | it wounld plainly show that the invited one | never wished a ‘*‘piace’’ in the Saturday. There is a very business-like flavor about the reference to the subscription. It clearly informs social lights that it must pe paxd in advance, The “ladies who have kindly consented tn act as pationesses’’ are: Mrs. Henry C. Taft, Mrs. R. W. Gorrill, Mrs. J. E. Me- | E'rath, Mrs. E. B. Beck, Mrs. H. K. EBelde“' Mre. William H. Chickering, Mrs. G. W. Baker, Mrs, W. E. Sharon. “The committee” has signed the circu- lar, and it distinetly states that atl com- | munication with it pust be carried on throngh the postoffice box rented by if. As usual, there is much curiosity shown regarding the identity of the committee, and it is not unlikely that they may be timately discovered. On aformer orcasion when rivalry ran high an espionage was kept on the postoffice box, and the secret agency that relegates to itself the power 0 send out or to withhold invitations was verv scathingly criticized. The new club enters very largely into the place of the Fortnightly, but fills no Mrs. A. W. Havens, Temps, which was organized by Mre, L L. Requa. Itis noticeable that Mrs. Requa’s name is not cn the list of patronesses, and Mrs. Mark Requa expliined this by ray- ing that her mother-in-law, having no tend to take any part in arranging for the season’sdancing. As all the dances are to be held there is likely 1o be a revival of the tronble that so seriously disturbed the Denx Temps two vears ago. The young people danced till so near the dawn of the Sabbath that some of the natives made complaint that the young ladies were too tired to go to church next morning, as they did not ar- rive home till after midnight. This pos- sible difficulty seeras to have suggested for they uave caused it to be known that they have confined their invitation list to the older members of the Neux Temps and the younger members of the Fort- { nightly. This thoughtful provision is no doubt to off -et the possibility that young society isdancing when it should be in re- pose. Between now and Sentember 15 society, old and young, wili do much ruminating concerning the coming season, and if that vostoffice box is cleared without a small | scanaal “tne committee” will be lucky. Every effort has been made to keep the new club a great secret ti'l the list of ac- ceptances is received, but the lines have teen drawn so rizidly that the ramblings of discontent are alreadv heard, The Lawyers Send a Challenge to the Doctors and Call Them ‘‘Saw-Bones,” Professional and Official Circles Wrought Up to Great Ex- citement.

The initial gathering has be-n set for the first Thursday evening in October. Amateurs as well as professionals are invited, and it is expected that the membership will be over a hundred by the time the first din- ner-musicale t2kes place. “The purpose of havine a secret council of election consisting of five members is to prevent unpleasantness,” said Secretary Redtield to-night. *It is the practice fol- lowed in other cities where such clubs ex- 13t add flourivh, and no one knows who has been rejected and wno has been ac- cepted for membership. < “1f any one who might be objectionable or a disturbing element is not a member oftbe club the presumption will be that he or she does not desire membership. If such be blackballed no one will know it exceptihe counci of election.

Eins, wnose troubles have been exploited in the newspapers for the past five vears, now publishes a card, in which he defends himse!f from the attack of a tan Fran- cisco boarding-house keeper, who had him arrested recently.

It Was a Snappy and Exciting Game, in Which the Oaklanders Had an Overdose of Hard Luck. The Heesemans and the heavy-weights from Los Anceles were on even terms when the ninth inning opened, the | ecore being then 4 to4. The Central Park | grand stand and bleachers were in an up- roar and the major portion of their occu- pants were howling for the lads from the Citrus Belt to win. Tue finish was spectacular. In ore-two-three order the Oaklanders were disposed of, and then up walked the Southerners to say whether or not there | was to be an exira inning. Their verdict | was *‘nit.”” That strong and lynx-eyed boy Held saw to it that there was no stay of execution. He waited until little Mac- caroni—but this midget spells it Mancer- ini—had anchored himself safely on through the opposing mitcher’s inubility to see the plate, and then he lined out a marvelous three-bagger. Little Macca— or Mangerini—never made his scumpy tegs paddle so fast before. Brt he finished | the three-cornered c rcuit from first tothe homeplate all right and the victory was won, It was a victory deserved and earned.. With a whoop and a hurrah the ball field was deserted without even fin- | ishing the last half of the inning—there was no need of finishing it. | It wasan interesting game and often ex- | citing—a good beginner for the finals of te championship tournament. The Heesemans started off in what seemed to be a winning jog, but they reckone. not npon the up-hill batthng gualities of the giaots from the land of the orange and the lemon. These latter ‘‘zents’” were not at all dismayed by the comparatively easy manner in which the lads from over the bay cracked out two comfortable runs right at the very beginnine of the contest, nor at the goose eugs which they them- | seives earned during three more innings after the first. They just peeged along until the fifth, and then set off a few rockets themsslves. They had by this 1ime beeun to solve the mystery of the curves Farron had been entwining around the piate and were straightening some of them out. The result was that the score was tied in this inning. Then tnere was some delightful see- | sawing. The Southerners had their op- | ponents somewhat rattied now, and suc- | ceeded in sending another man in for a fat, juiey tally in the sixth. The Oak- landers found 1t incumbent to steadv up a bi¢ ard succeeded. They heid the big fel- lows down to nothing in the seventh, and taking courage proceeded to bat in the eighth. Two more runs were their re- ward and they wereoncemorein the lead. | But their glory was short lived. The Los Angeles boys got a run themseives in that {inning ana.the score wasevened.

Schism and Scheming Agitating the Middle-of-the-Road Members. Thunderbolts Hurled at an Cfficial and a Possible Polioy Foreshadowed. For the firsi time in over two vears the People’s party county committee failed last night to muster a quorum. The full committee is composed of 100, and fiiteen are a quorum, but ouly twelve—one womar and eleven men—reported forduty, Consequently, no cfficial work was done, but there was a zo d deal of gossiping and cons.derable ill feeling. It appears that the m.iddle-of-the-road members are suspicious that a sch>me is being hatched to use the party machineryv to advance the political interests of a few aspiring Populists, who, 1t is su-.pected, have entered into negotiations with the Bryan Democrats hereabouts for personal advantage. Whether there is any founda- tion for this suspicion matters little, oniy that had a quorum reported for duty there would have been music all down the line. One middie-ol-the-road commuiteern was more outspoken than the others in condemning the ‘‘scheme’ 1o prevent a quorum, but they undoubtedly were in ac- cord with him. When asked what he meant by “scheme’’ to prevent a quorum the meraber said: 5 “We are very much divided as to poliey- No doubt a round maisrity of the commit« tee mean to be consistent middie-of-the- road Populists,but we havea few silvet men among us—professional politicians, [ might call them—who are scheming to fuse with the Bryanites. In other words, they desire to trade the Populist vote to the Democrats for a given share of the nominations, and had a quorum been here to-night the seneme wouldzhave been pretty thoroughly ventilated, but their stayingaway oaly postponesit.” “‘How does it bappen that at this par- ticniar meeting there is no quorum? You say it has not happened before in overtwo years.” S “The plain fect is, our secretary is in full sympathy with the fusion idea,and be omitted to send out proper notices of the meeting—except enough to make the number a few short of a quorum. T received no notice, notwithstauding I am one of the originat Populists 1 San Fran- cisco.” . W hat is the need of sending out notices for stated meetings?”’ “Because the members are forgetful or negiigent. They have to be reminded that a meetinz will be held, and usually the secretary intima'es that important matters wiil be under discussion. The meeting tc-night should have been a larger one, and wonld have been bad tbe secretary done his duty, but he nor his following wanted & quorum te-night.” “Why did they not? “We middle-of-the-road members pro- tested vigorousiy against appointing a/| committee to welcome Mr. Bryvan on nis recent visit to San Francisco. Bryan is not a Populis'. We voted for him last | November, to be sure, but we did so under an im)lied protest, and when we had voted for nim we washed our hands of| bim. The Populist party could as con- sistently tufh out and shout for McKinley as for Bryan, and the secretary knew that ifa quorum was present some of us wouid say things which his fusionists would rather not hear.” “What will be wrangle?” “Either we will bring the organization back to its old lines and stand for its principles as proclaimed by the Omaba | platform, or we will break up the organ- ization. We will not submit to be made voting machines of to strengthen the Demoeratic party. «It would be very fine indeed forc=rtain | Demec-Pops, so called, to have us main- tain our organization until election day, and then march up to the polls and vote us like cattle for their dark-iantern made ticket, tut before they are much older they | will find that the middie-of-the-road Populists mean busine: that we are: not for trade or sale and tbat we wulll maintain our princijlss a3 a partv or| know the reasen whv. But the Populist| party is all right, only that we must get rid of the Bryvanites and ailother ites| who are not in full sympatby with the! principles we advocate.” i “W.1l there be a quorum at the next stated meeting, think you?"” : I do not know, but whenever there1sa | quorum.a strong effort wili be made to separate the sheep from the goats, and | when I say goats I mean the secretary’s/ following. Tbey are not Populists, They act as though they were Bryan Democrats in disguise "’ the upshot of this It is a curious fact that the delicacv as to mentioning the age of women is no| pieca of modern sensitiveness. In the) Old Testamert, although great numbers | of women are mentioned, there is butl one—S8ara, Abraham’s wife—whose age is’ recorded. NEW TO-DAY. A TRUE VITALIZER. “DR.
