WOMEN PHYSICIANS. | California Club Wants Them Ap- pointed in Insane Hospitals. The California Club, through its presi- dent, Mrs. Lovell White, addressed a com- | munication yesterday morning to the | Board of Supervisors, asking for the sup- port and earnest consideration of certain resolutions regarding the appointment of an assistant waman physician in each of | the State Hospitals for the Insane. The resolutions were adopted at a recent meet- | ing of the club and are as follows: Resolved, That in the opinfon of the Cali- | fornia Club it is essential to the proper ca: of the woman patients in the several State hos- pitals for the treatment of the insane that one of the assistants in each hospital should be a woman, and it is respectfully urged upon those having ' the authority that they appoint a wo- man physician as assistant in each State hos- nital for the insana. | Drs. magnitude that they deemed it best to have ihe patient removed to the city.

Everything has been chartered and still there is not enough to meet the demand. The sugar fleet cannot carry all the merchandise destined for Honolulu and lumber orders cannot be filled for want of vessels. Yesterday the bark Nicholas Thayer was hauled out of Oakland Creek and will go in ballast to Clipperton to load guano. The gasoline schooner Bessie K will accompany the Nicholas Thayer. The big American ship Arthur Sewall will take a most valuable cargo to Lon- don. Besides a quantity of wheat, she will carry 150,000 cases of canned goods. Some of the rivets In the bow of the ship worked loose during the voyage to San Francisco, and a gang of riveters has been engaged in making good the defects, The Sewall goes on the drydock to be I('le:(lined and painted before beginning to oad. An ex-welgher in the Custom House had a narrow escape from drowning at Broad- way wharf yesterday. He missed his foot- ing and fell Into the bay. Had it not been for the prompt assistance of Customs In- spector Stevens and Officer McGreevy he would have been drowned. They got him out of the water and sent him home in a hack. e Rough on the Bay. Tt was blowing a southeast gale at the Heads yesterday afternoon, and in con- sequence a number of vessels that were to have sailed remained in port. The Walla Walla was due from Victoria, B. C., early in the morning, but ran into a southeast storm directly she passed out of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, and it must have stayed with her all the way down the coast, as she was not in sight at sundown. The Townsend was to have sailed for St. Georges Island_ after the cargo of tho wrecked Laurada, but her departure was delayed until to-day. Vessels moored at the southerly end of the water front suffered from the gal The City of Peking chafed a little at the Mail dock, and the City of Papeete had a lively time of it at Hathaway's. An attempt was made to get her out into the stream, but it failed. She will dock at Vallejo street to-day. A number of lum- ber schooners discharging at Main and Little Main had to move out Into the stream, and some of the colliers at Beale street followed suit.

Worthy Efforts to Pay Off the In- debtedness of a Popular House of God. The pretty little Lebanon Presbyterian Church on the corner of Sanchez and Twenty-third streets was made more at- tractive and interesting to its attnedants yesterday afternoon and evening by the presence of a bazaar and entertainment got up for the purpose of paying off its debt and renovating its interior and ex- terior. The church, which is small and modest in pretensions, has so Increased in regu- lar Sunday attendance since the advent of its new pastor, Rev. R. W. Reynolds, that it is probable additional room will be required soon. Before this Is attempted, however, the present small indebtedness will be paid off, and it is with this object that the ladies have exerted them- | selves in_collecting such fancy articles as | can be disposed of at a bazaar, together h the giving of a real old-fashioned Jew England dinner this afternoon be- tween 5:30 and 7:30 o'clock. Previous to the dinner hour there will be a musicale, in which some of the best local talent ob- tainable in the Mission will participate. In the Sabbath School and parlors of | the church there are several booths. | Among the more prominent are: ‘‘The | American booth,” in which Admiral | Dewey figures in the form of a plaster | bust in a most conspicuous place. Over this booth Mrs. Arthur Davis presides, assisted by Mrs. E. Kohler, Mrs. L Mc- Clure and Mrs. E. Knapp. ‘“The Scotch booth,” presided over by Mrs. Joseph Stott and Mrs. A. C. Brown: “The Swiss booth,” in charge of Miss May Peterson, assisted by Miss Nettie Moore; “The United States booth,” in charge of the Ladies’ Circle of the King's Sons. and “The Candy booth,” presided over by the ladies of the King's Daughters. e ITALIAN CHURCH FAIR. Children of Mary Entertain the Visitors. The children of Mary booth had a night at home last night at the Italian church fair in Washington-square Hall, and a large number of visitors were agreeabl entertained. The following programme’t ‘which had been specially prepared for the occasion, elicited unstinted applause: Comic_song, Miss Nora Regan; fancy dance, Miss Judith Rusch; specialties, Miss Rosle Bennett; comicalities, Miss Juliet Sewarb; vocal selections, Miss Rosle Steveler.
