SAN JOSE, April 14—This city will soon have a fine art gallery. This has been brought about by the liberality of Mrs. M. P. O'Connor, who has contrib- uted an art collection worth from $75,000 to $106,000 to the city. The board of trus- tees of the Normal School will grant a site for the building in Normal square, and will probably maintain and care for the gallery. A committee of ladies are now raising subscriptions to erect a suit- | 000 has been | able building, and already $5 subscribed. The building will be a fine one and will be an ornament to the city. The collection of paintings given the city is a magnificent one, and includes works of the old masters and copies of nearly all the great paintings. Mrs. O'Connor proposes to add to it from time to time, and an art school will be established in connection with it. gl SR Mrs. Slaughter Chosen President.

A Complete Kitchen and Bath and Dressing-Room for Some Lucky Ones. Two more merchants have come to the front with aid for the Masonic festival, each with a donation that will arouse the unanimous interest of the house- wives, and will be the source of many golden dollars to the fund. W. W. Mon- tague & Co. will fit up a Kkitchen com- plete in every detail, and Holbrook, Mer- rill & Stetson will furnish a bath room and dressing room. The kitchen will have a fine range, a tiled sink, a table with a place for every- thing upon it, and pots and kettles and pans enough to stock a restaurant. The whole outfit will go to some lucky house- wife for a dollar, and at the close of the fes a plumber will call and put it in place in her kitchen. The bath room and dressing room will be fitted up in the finest style, and there | will be nothing wanting which should be there. The bath and dressing set will | also go to some one who is lucky, and doubly fortunate is he or she who may happen to get woth. Friday night of the festival has been set apart for California Commandery, and a programme is being arraneed that will make it a memorable one. The com- mandery_in full regaila will be escorted into the Pavilion hf the uniformed organ- ization. There will be a dress parade by the commandery, Captain R. P. Hurlburt in command, anu then there will be a flag raising in the presence of a regiment of troops, and then General W. H, L. Barnes will deliver an oration on “The Flag.” The general has promised, too, that his effort wii. be worthy of the ‘oc- casion. After the oration there will be a pa- triotic drill by twenty-four young ladies, nder command of Captain Hurlburt, who | is now training them. The festival postoffice has been organ- ized, with Charles L. Patton as post- master-general, Louis Roesch assistant and Miss Amy Cellarius and Miss Voor- sanger as postmistresses. The ladies of Southern California have inaugurated a plan that will certainly help the festival considerably. Flowers and fruits are to be sent up daily from now until the festival is closed, and these flowers will be distributed in all parts of the city_and will be sold at reasonable prices. Mrs. Mary E. Drake of Redlands has undertaken to do much of this work in Southern California. She has sent over 100 telegrams to various ladies in Southern California, and most of them have responded, agreeing to send these flowers at thelr own expense, Mrs. H. J. Sadler of Golden Gate Com- mandery will have an Egyptian booth at the festival, and will have a series of wise ones who will tell fortunes. M Jessie Mills and Mrs. C. M. Plum have secured a great many sofa pillows with the various emblems of the order, and these pillows will be in a separate booth, —— Officer Holland’s Will, The will of Police Officer Peter Hol- land, who died a few days ago, has been filed for probate.

HERNE ON HENRY GEORGE The Author-Actor Believes That Single Tax WIill Free the World. Described as One Who Polnted Out the Way to the World's Welfare. James A. Herne, the well-known author and actor, lectured at Metropolitan Temple yvesterday afternoon on ‘‘Henry George and Single Tax.” There was a fair attendance, most of the audience being women. The speaker was introduced by Henry George Jr., who is here for the purpose of gathering data for a life of his father. Mr. George, who is a pleasing speaker, said that it was a sad meeting for him, because it brought vividly before him the night, twenty years ago, when he heard his father make a speech from the same platform, then dedicating his life to the cause which took it in the end. He took great pleasure in introducing Mr. Herne 2s a prominent advocate of single tax, and one who was for years his father's friend. Mr. Herne speaks in a simple, conversa- tional tone, something like that which is well known to the public in ‘“Shore Acres” and “The Hearts of Oak.” His lecture showed wide reading and a tech- nical knowledge of economics. “Henry George came 4s a message bearer,” he said, “teaching the blind how to see’ I am one of the blind he taught. He told and proved that without free land there is no such thing as free men and liber: He described Henry George as a fine type of the Jeffersonian democrat, a man who had firm convictions about the rights of the masses and who was not afraid to criticize affairs in the busy world. “In 1871 he turned his X-rays on soci- ety,” said the speaker, “and ten vears later he gave it the fruits of his great discoveries, showing how men may free themselves and how the masses and_the millionaires may be handled for the ben- efit of the whole people.”” In conclusion he prophesied that the doctrines of George would finally free the human race. —_——— Programme of the Tournament.

SAN JOSE, April 14.—The libel sult of | Henry Schomberg against W. S.

A number of witnesses for the | defense testified that the charges made | were regarded as a joke, but the plaintiff could not see it in that light. TWO GENTLE LITTLE TEMBLORS They Caused Apprehension to Nervous People, but Did No Damage. Disturbances Felt in This City and Outlying Dis- tricts. Slight Mother earth gently heaved her bosem agaln last night, and for awhile nervous people were in dread of another such shock as that which wrought havoc a few weeks ago. But it was nothing so serfous this time, and while the former shock was llke the struggles of a mad- dened beast the two temblors last night were but as sighs from the breast of a ‘weary mother—a gentle titillation which sent gas fixtures and hanging signs swaying and caused the crockery in closets to jingle. There were two distinct rhacks, the first at 10:63, and the second at 11:07, but | they were of short duration and smooth and gentls, none of the ugly pitching and rocking which characterized the former shocks being noticeable. They were felt for miles around in the surrounding coun- try, but no heavier than here. As far south as San Jose and up to Port Costa light shocks were noticed. any people, remembering the violence of the last shocks, feared a repetition and hurried out of their houses, and the streets were soon filled with anxious efti- zens, who held their very breaths for fear. As the excitement from the first shock was about dying out the second one came, but it created little apprehen- sion, as people seemed by that time to have become accustomed to an occasional prank of the immovable earth and had begun to think there was nothing serious in an earthquake after all.
