The announcement was made that on | Friday evening there will be a meeting of the association in the armory on 11is street for the purpose of hearing reports from the several chairmen as to the mat- | | ter of collections and to arrange for the meal that is to be prepared, but as it is not known when it is to be served the association 1s undecided whether to call it a breakfast or a lunch. It was announced that Company M will establish headquarters at the residence of Mrs. Charles Rehn at 2030 Mission street, where those interested can obtain information or make donations. Company B wlll establish its headquarters at the Page-street armory and there will be some one there every day from 10 o'clock this morning. The majority of the com- panies will rendezvous at the Ellis-street armory, where contributions will also be recelved. During the meeting as_to whether General Shafter, Governor Gage, Adjutant General Sea- man and Mayor Phelan should be invited to take part in the festivities with the parents and relatives. The trend of the discussion was that if | the invitations were limited to the five named they would be welcomed, but there appeared to be some objection to having the staff of each of the military gentle- men. and it will probably be further discussed before the executive committee. The announcement was made that the executive committee had decided to fssue badges, which will admit parents and relatives into the ferry building, to fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and children and such other relatives as may be entitled to receive the same. These will be ready for distribution at the Ellis- street armory after to-morrow, and those who wish them and can establish their claim to them will be able to receive them. They will be furnished at cost—5 cents each. No one without a badge will be admitted into the building. i The Order of Knights and Ladles of Honor, which some time ago gave an en- tertainment for the benefit of the boys in blue, has donated the sum of $25 to the fund of this association out of the remain- der of the amount realized by the enter- tainment.

Spears, an emplove of the Oakland Transit Company, filed a rather sensational divorce suit against his wife, Nettie J. Spears, in the Superior Court this afternoon, charging her with cruelty and desertion. Back of the simple statutory grounds given in the complaint, however, are alle- gations of an experience that might easily have terminated in his untim death. his ember, 1896, in the city of Fresno, drew a pistol on him dur- ing a fit of extreme jealousy and pulled the trigger, after ordering him to seek a home elsewhere, but the weapon missed fire. “I am not an expert at dodging bullet: says the suing husband, “and though T thought I might avoid a row she pulled the trigger before I was aware of it Luckily 1 escaped, and 1 have never re | turned to her since. “The defendant has a ha: violent temper,” continues Mr. Spears in his com- plaint, “and an intensely jealous dispos tion; and she has, though without cause | or provocation, become very jealous of plaintiff in regard to his attentions to ince he left home she has other women. at various times and within a few mont written letters to him accusing him of be- ing untrue. “'The plaintiff believes that she still en- tertains a like feeling toward him, and that if he were to live with her again he would be in imminent danger of violence and great bodily injury at her hands.” Spears alleges also that his wife fre- quently, in the presence of their four ch dren. accused him of having improper re- lations_with divers women at anger, where Mrs. Spears resides. Though Mrs. Spears’ version of the mat- rimonjal tribulations and differences of their household has not been heard it is understood she will appear to contest the sult most bitterly.

At the headquarters of the Native Sons and Daughters in the California Hotel yesterday there was presented a patriotic cap which it is thought might be distrib- uted to the school children on the day of | the parade, to be worn by them so as to make a distinctive feature for the purpose of distinguishing the puplls of the public schools. The matter will be brought be- | fore the executlve committee at its next meeting. A letter was recelved from W. J. Mar- tin of the citizens' executive committee announcing that that committee will gladly co-operate with the Native ‘Sons’ and Daughters' committee. Presidio Parlor was the first of the Na- | tive Sons’ parlors to respond to the Invi- tations sent out. It accepted the invita- tion, and while the parlor did not disclose what feature it would introduce in the parade it gave assurance that it would do its share and produce something unique. The commanding officer of the First Veteran Reserve of California, located in Oakland, asked that he be notified by tel- | egraph as soon as the Sherman Is sighted, | so that word could be sent to the members of his command in order that they could come over with a band to take part in the display. Alta Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen responded to the invita- tion received and stated that it will make |a showing with the order in line. The Salfors' Union of the Pacific regret- ted its inability to accept the invitation to appear in line, for the reason that noarry all the members of the union are | employed on vessels. Seven Pines Circle of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic announced that as many of the members of the circle have relatives in the returning regiment the circle as a body could not agree to make a display in the parade, but that the members individually would do all that they could to give the boys a rousing wel- come. Lieutenant Colonel Geisting called at headquarters to make suggestions as to the means to bring to the city regiments of the National Guard from places outside of San Francisco. These suggestions will be laid before the executive committee at its next meeting. The. Fire Company of this ity The Exempt is making arrangements to turn out wit the big engine of the old volunteer fire department.

Hospital wards have the right of way at the Presidio now, and if patients con- tinue to come in with no rellef to the hos- pital capacity there will soon be nothing but hospital buildings at the post. At present there are ten sets of barracks de- voted to the use of the hospital service. Three of these are the new brick barracks racently erected. There are two more of these brick barracks now occupied by the batteries of the Third Artillery forming the garrison of the post, and by a detach- ment of recruits. It is not unlikely, how- ever, that the recruits will have to leave the barracks and go under canvas, and then it may be that the batteries will have to follow them. Colonel Girard, who is in charge of the entire general hospital system at the post, says he thinks he will have room enough for all, however. He is discharging men as fast as he can, and if his patients get along well he expects to have 300 beds Vacant by the time the next h¢spital ship arrives. This will be the Leelanaw..
