The Ancient Order of Hibernians is one of if not quite the oldest benevo- lent organizations in the United States. i ational in character, for in Murphy, John int, v land where Irishmen have taken up their abode in numbers there are found branches of the A. O. H. 'in flourishing condition. In this country it is the parent of all Irish societies, 14 its membership equals all the her Irish socleties combined. For years it has flourished in every State the Union, the organization springing Into existence almost sim- ultaneously with the birth of each Commonwealth. Tts objects are the loftiest, for besides extending a help- ing hand to the sick and suffering it Instills sentiments of patriotism in the hearts of 1ts members, kindling afres the love of the emerald motherland as well as inspiring veneration for the adopted country. Therefore no Irish- man belongs to the A. O. H. who is not a good citizen. While the various State, county and division organizations are governed by the national board, the minor bodies have adopted by-laws conflicting in a measure with those of the parent body, and it I8 to effect a uniformity of governing rules, as well as to con- tinue the growth of the order and maintain it on a sound and heal(h?’ basis, that the present convention wiil deal with. This is made all the more necessary since the amalgamation of the two Hibernian societies at the na- tional convention at Trenton last June. Rev. D, O. Crowley, State chaplain, delivered a congratulatory address, which elicited much applause, and speeches were made by Delegates P. J. McCormick, E. 1. Sheehan, John F. Renault, John P. Henry, Bartley Lee, Judge Cooney and others. The follow- ing committees were appointed: State of the Order and Finance—M. Nihill, chairman; Rev. D, O. Crowley, John Doyle, J. H. O'Brien, P. J.

In addition to the state of- ficers a.board of extension, consisting of five members, was created, for the purpose of supervising the growth of the order. It was decided that hereafter the State convention shall levy assess- ments quarterly to meet the neces- Sary running expenses. The most important action was the amendment providing that no picnics or celebrations shall be held on Sun- days or Decoration day. Several Grand Army delegates spoke in favor of including Decoration Day in the amendment, and {t was unanimously adopted. After adopting the following resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Judge Ryan of Los Angeles the convention adjourned until to-day: Whereas, In the providence of God and in accordance with divine wisdom, our es- teemed brother, William A. Ryan of Los Angeles, has been called to his eternal home; and Whereas, Judge Ryan was a Hibernlan who by his ability and devotion to our noble order was Instrumental in a marked degree in late vears, in its progress and prosperity. He was a man who, by his character and high principle reflected credit on all people. He was a good citizen, and the honors he held as such citizen were deserved and worthily borne. He was a true man In his sentiments to his Irish nationality. In all the relations of life he carried himself with honor and dignity; therefore, be it Resolved, That this California State Con- vention cf the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, send condolences to the dear mother of Judge Ryan in her great afflic- tion: to our brother Hibernians of Los An- geles, where he was so_ highly esteemed. That these resolutions be entered on ‘our minutes and published In the press, and that the state secretary be finstructed to send coples as designated. REV. D. CROWLEY, EDWARD HEEHAN, M. FARRELL.

Sergeant George Shaw and Private Wil- liam Healy read two very interesting pa- pers and the judges, Frank J. Fallon, Frank Drury and ' Brother Florinus, awarded the contest to Sergeant Shaw on the three counts of literary merit, argu- ment and delivery. The successful essayist will represent Sacred Heart Parish at the rally of the Fourth District in April next, when a competition of all the ‘Jnrilhes of the city will be held.

Dr. John Fryer, professor of Oriental languages at the University of California, delivered an interesting lecture on “Edu- cation in China” last evening before a large audience in the Academy of Science lecture hall. During the past month he has delivered a number of lectures on China’s government, laws and the reli- glon of its people. — e COLLISION ON THE BAY. Schooner Mary E. Russ Touls the Bark L. G. Burgess. The schooner Mary E. Russ, Captain Wikender, bound in, last evening drifted across the bow of the bark L. G. Burgess, The collision occurred after nightfall | and much confusion prevailed aboard both craft. In some way they became closely entangled and in the wash of the tide both vessels were damaged consid- erably. Finally, however, the tug Monarch came to the rescue and cleared them. John Lycett Is Dead. John Lycett, an old resident of Califor- nia, passed away on Sunday in this city. When the Occldental Hotel was opened he became a runner for that hos- telry, and later engaged in politics. After leaving a position in the City {’Ha“ he was appointed Collector for the "farbor Com- missfoners, and held the place four vears. He was also in the United States Mint for a long time. He had the faculty of mak- ing friends wherever he went.” and his many friends will hear of his demise with sincere regret. John E. Ruggles Is Dead. John E. Ruggles, for many years a member of the firm of Dodge, Sweeney L& Co., died In this city yesterday morn- ing at his residence, Death was the result lowed by an attack of Deceased w 1641 Bush street. of pneumonia, fol- grip. as born in Hardwick, Mass., and his ancestors were of Puritan de- scent. He was an old and highly es- teemed resident of this city, having come to the coast in the early days of the gold fever. His first business enterprise was In Stockton, where he was a partner of the late Asa Nudd in the wholesale gro- cery business. He was vice president of the First National Bank of Oakland for a number of years, and served as a direc- tor of ‘the Board of Trade of this city. He was a widower, his wife having died two vears ago. The interment will take place in Moun- tain View Cemetery in Oakland. Deceased was 72 years of age. — et A New Water Supply. J. H. Bartlett of 502 ‘Washington street has a new plan for supplying the city with ?ure water at a nominal cost, which he will lay before the Board of Supervis- ors with the request that that bo call the matter to the attention of the &ls- lature at once. His el}an is_to bring down water from Lake Tahoe by means of pipe lines, sluices or viaducts. As the iake is 6000 feet above the sea level, the enormous fall would make the water avallable as power for manufactories, as well as giving an excellent pressure with- out engines in case of a big fire. A Post-Election Fight. Edward O'Connor secured a warrant esterday for the arrest of John F. wigg, ex-Assemblyman, and Willlam Healey on the chag:e of battery.

Leaving their booty be- | hind,-the house breakers jumped- through a window which they had forced open and ran up Oak street. The report of the | pistol shots attracted the attention of two | police officers Who lost no time in reach- | ing the scene. After learning that the house had been entered the policemen went in search of the burglars, but failed | to find them. An _examination of the premises dis- closed that the desperate house breakers | had gained an entrance by prying open a | window with a “jimmy” which they dropped in their flight. After entering the house they went to the dining room and broke open a closet containing a miscel~ laneous assortment of silverware. Plac- ing the silverware in a sack which one of them carried they started to leave the house, when discovered and fired on. | A citizen who was passing at the time last night informed the police that he be- | lieved that one of the burglars had been wounded. . Hearing the shots he ran over to the house, thinking that a murder was being committed. As he reached the scene of the shooting' he saw two men climb through an open window and start to run. One of them, he says, acted as though he was wounded. He was helped along by his confederate who, amid curses threatened to shoot him unless he got a ‘“‘move on.”’ | ast night the detectives were scouring the city in search of the supposed wound- ed burglar.

The Panhandle proposition was unani- mously favored. An extension from Gold- en Gate Park to the Presidio as well @s to Market street was considered, as well as the approximate costs of such im- provements. The matter of a_temporary pesthouse was discussed; also the enforce- ment of the wide tire law; the ordinance against the overloading of trucks that ply on the new pavements and the use of square basalt blocks on the streets of the water front. Supervisor Holland advised that all practical schemes of improvement coming before the association be mentioned in a report to the board and such suggestion would be incorporated in the call for im- provement bonds. The new officers of the association are as follow: President, 1. Harris; First Vice President, W. J. Bryan; Second Vice President, Dr. C. S.

The next session of the District Grand Lodge No. 4 of the Independent Order of B'ne B'rith will be held in this city, com- mencing Sunday, the 19th inst., in B. B. Hall. There will be present about one hundred and forty delegates from the .sev- eral lodges in this State, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Utah which are in District No. 4. In addition to the regular business that will come up during the sessions. the Grand Lodge will take steps to arrange for the reception of the delegates to the Constitution Grand Lodge, which is the highest body of the order, and which is to meet in this city-in 1900. At the ses- sion held in Cincinnati, O., in 189, for that body -meets but once in five years, there was a great struggle to have San Francisco selected as the meeting place, but upon the assurance that the people would show them what a San Francisco welcome s, the majority of the represen- atives were won over. There will be at that sesslon representatives from all parts of the United States, Germany, Aus- tria, Roumania, and Jerusalem. To the end that the welcome shall be as complete as promised the several lodges are contributing to a general fund for that purpose, and the affairs in con- nection with the reception and entertain- ment under the supervision of Joseph Rothschild, A schheim, Sol. Zekind, Albert Elkus, H. Bush, D. S. Hirsh- berg, Herman Gutstadt, Henry Schwartz and Louis Metzger. During the session of the District Grand Lodge there will be a theater party at the Tivoli for the purpose of increasing the entertainment fund.

Ed Greenway stands sponsor for the debutantes, and =0 the success of Gertrude Hayes, the pride of the Tivoli chorus, and Justina Wayne, crack Amazon of the Spider and Fly com- pany, is a foregone conclusion. Gertie and Tina are to be attired L & QOOLOLE SV Lk o= Y o] | alike in the costume affected by the pages and will earn their stipend by dallying round Jack Wilson, the Lord of Misrule. As both debutantes will wear masks, the dashing beaux of the swell set will have to rely entirely upon their memory of pretty curves and dainty, outline as viewed from “the front” to know what pleasure is surely theirs. To dance with a real live beauty of the chorus who wears tights to breakfast and is sure her mother was a lady is bound to be the cause of much spirited rivalry, 2nd the mischief that must necessarily fol- low can’t fail to be interesting if it is one-half as entertaining as the trouble that went before. GO LISRISTIS IO & oo CHORDS GOES INTO SOCIETY GERTRUDE MOYES o0 o0 o O 00000 ©0O 000 O@0o 000000000000 Greenway declded to invite the girls to the swell Mardl Gras after Witnessing a performance of the “Yellow Dwarf" at the Tivoli. To be more correct, he decided to invite Miss Irene Duval and Miss Hayes, and with that end in view gave them rendezvous in the *‘wine room” after the show. The plans of great men oft go awry and thus it was with Green- way. Duval and Hayes had a row over ‘keeping step,” and so when Miss Duval went to meet the czar of the 400 she took with her her chum and partner, Josie Davis. Greenway, however, has an eye for form and he was not to be fooled on a girl—even when she had ever S0 many unnecessary girments on. The result was that Duval was dis; missed and Hayes got a perfumed note, telling her to “go to the cos tumer and be measured,” and that a ‘‘carriage would call” for her “on the evening of the 14th.” Neither of the young beautles who are to be thrown, with one fell sWoop, into the midst of the smart set are much disturbed over the matter. Both have worn tights be- fore and both are used to the ad- miration of the sterner sex. “There's a man named Green- way,” Miss Hayes explained, “who runs society. He saw me from the front and said the Mardi Gras couldn’t be a success without me. Irene Duval tried to do me out of It, because 1 got mad because she couldn’t keep in step with me. But she couldn’t fool the leader, and T'm being measured for the tights. I ain't a bit gervous about it. I'm just as good as the rest of "em, only 1 haven't got the money. I came out in an Orpheum ballet and I'm climbing surely to the top. 1 expect to remain throughout the evening and have lots of fun.” Justina Wayne is as calm and col- lected as Miss Hayes, but not so allve to the sacrifices a debut tn £00d society entails. “I'm not stuck on the tight aid the Spider and the Fly lad. hough of course I have worn and will continue to wear them. I don’t know whether I'm to stay till the whole show is over, but I 'should like to remain till the curtain i{s rung down. MWQ):(W):W? CODOOITL T & L RO LioLeo@ OO LIS LY & L SLOTIOL 050 SUPTHOOTHCH | | SHIPWRIGHTS WILL BUILD MARINE WAYS Are Carrying the War Into Africa. THE ASSOCIATION IS IN THE FIGHT TO STAY. 3 Opposition Ways to Cost $50,000 Are to Be Built at South San Francisco or North Beach. The Shipwrights' Assoclation and the shipbuilding firm of Hay & Wright have been at outs for a long time, and matters have now come to a climax. A week ago the shipwrightd issued a circular setting forth all the points at issue and asking the shipowners to stand by them and help them to secure their rights. The marine wa¥s at Alameda owned by Hay & Wright have proved a great convenience to shipowners, however, and they turned the ‘scale against the shipwrights. Now the "association is going to build marine ways -at either South San Francisco or North Beach, and in this way the ship- | wrights hope to turn the tables on Hay & Wright. “The Shipwrights’ Association is one of the wealthlest organizations in San Fran- cisco,” said President Thomas McConnell yesterday. “Individually our members are all fairly well off, and 100 of them are putting up $500 each to build one of ths finest and best equipped marine ways in the United States. We have not yet de- cided upon the site, but will build them wherever we can get the cleanest and clearest water. The ways will be built at either South San Francisco or North Beach, and work will begin on them at once. “The ways will be run by the associa- tion, and are to be at the disposal of all the bosses. They will be fun at a small advance on cost. Naturally the stock- holders will want a small return on their investment, but I can assure you the charges will be so low that the bosses won’t grumble. - “The Shipwrights’ Assoclation is not going into business on its own account. We will own_ the ways, of course, but we will work for the bosses just the same as we always have. There will be no change whatever, except that we hope to see the bulk of the work that goes to Alameda done on this side. All the ship- wrights want is a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. Our association has a good treasury, but that is going to remain intact. None of the funds will be used in this venture. At our last meeting 100 members subscribeq $500 each, and that will give us enough and to spare with which to build and equip the ways. I think $50,000 will afford far superior ac- commodation to that offered the shipow ers by Hay & Wright. Once the ways are completed we will carry the war Africa, and I think Hay & Wrigl come out second best in the conflict. ARE MUSTERED OUT. The Eighth California Boys Left the Service Yesterday.
