Care of Child in Illness. At the opening of the afternoon session at South Park Settlement Hall the,an- nouncement was made by Mrs. Merrill | tbat Mrs. W. B. Harrington, who was to have delivered an address on the subject, “Care of the Child in Iliness,” was un- able to be present, owing to iilness. Dr. Eva K. Willets of the Children’s Hospital | was called upon and spoke entertainingly | on the subject given. She gave a history of the founding of children’s hospitals in | various cltles and told the methods em- ployed in the care of the sick. Resuming, | she said: A well-appointed hospital for children does much good. In the Eastern cities, where so many little ones die from the effects of heat, the children’s hospitels have done much to de- crease the mortality. In connection with the | hospital fn this city is & convalescent or sum- mer home located at Elmhurst, where sixtéen | Chilaren from the tuberculosis ward are being ‘cared for. One of the greatest troubles to | be encountered in the treatment of such chil- | dren is lack of cleanliness. We found a fam- fly of seven people living in three rooms in a | basement. The filth was indescribable and all of the children except one had whooping cough. There i much work to do among ths children of the poor. One of the urgent needs is a de- tention hospital for the isolation of contagious disease. Outdoor life for the treatment of tu- berculosis is indispensable, but there are no accommodations at the present time for the poor. Something should be done to save the little ones of the poor. Dr. Willets gave . statements showing that children cared for at modern hos- pitals thrived infihitely better than those cared for at home. Modern science was doing much along this line and the fu- ture was full of promise. The speaker | urged that children affiicted with pul- monary troubles, of which there are thou- sands in the poorer quarters of this city, ought to be cared for by the State. Mrs. John F. Merrill said every city in the State should have auxiliary hospital cervice devoted to the care of children. At present San Francisco has the only children’s hospital in theState, and appli- cations are daily recgived from interior cities tc be aliowed fp send children to | the hospital. These arve invariably re- fused, as the hospital has all it can do 0 { accommodate the needy children of San Francisco. She urged that some steps | toward this end te taken. The idea was also advanced that the establishment of a children’s emergency hospital to operate in conjunction with the Soclety for the | Prevertion of Crueity to children would be of immense value to the community from the humanitzrian standpoint. In the discussion that followed Mrs. Blodgett of Holvoke, Maes.; Dr. Crab- | tree of the Children's Hospital, Dr. Levy { and Dr. Brown offered suggestions. Re- { fieshments were served by the ladies of | the Settlement at 4 o’clock. ! Reformation of Criminals. The general subject of “Prison Reform | in’ California™ was discussed at the even- ing session. Robert M. Fitzgerald the chairman of the evening, called the meet- ing to order with the statement that no a death in the family, he found that taken watches and jewelry valued at §100. When the crime was committed no one knows, but Sommers thinks it hap- pened during Friday night. Three days ago Sommers’ infant child died and he closed his place of business. He returned yesterday morning for the purpose of atfending to some private af- fairs and was startled to_ discover that the rear door had been forced with a “jimmie” and was open. Further investi- gation showed that the showcases had | been looted and four trays of watches, in {addition to much more stock of value, had been taken. | returned to prison. | | annoyed me exceedingly. | | lested, but if he Sommers immediately reported the mat- ter to Captain of Detectives Seymour and that official detailed two of his men to hunt up the robbers. The police are of the opinion that some one well acquainted with the premises committed the crime. | @ ittt b @ | more important question could engage the attention of thoughtful men and women. The first speaker was Osgood Putnam, who spoke on ‘‘Probation.” 'The term pro- bation applied to a convict who is turned {at large but is always under police sur- 1f he did well he was not mo- resofted to evil ways during his probation he was immediately The speaker contend- ed that the modern treatment of prison- ers was all wrong. Punishmeat for wrong- doing 1s logical only when its aims are the reformation of the criminal and the protection of society. The results at- tained by the probationary law of Massa- chusetts were explained as being highly satisfactory. The courts were allowed by law to suspend sentences and grant criminals their freedom, they, however, to remain in chargs of a probation of- ficer. If after a reasonable period refor- mation is accomplished the case against the criminal is dismissed and he is a free mén. The system in vogue in California was severely criticized. go to the State’s prison come out more depraved than ever. While it is true so- clety is protected against their depreda- tions during the.period of their detention, yet when they get out they make up for iost time. Experience shows that the present system does not reform the crim- inal or permanently protect society. It follows, therefore, that the plan is worse than useless. It is because of this knowl- edge that many Eastern States, as well as Canada, have within the past few years enacted probation laws, all of which are operating with satisfactory results. Prison Director Robert T. Devlin dis- cussed the topic of “Prison Reform in California.”, As time goes on the meth- ods of handling criminals change. In the early days of England nearly every crime was punishable with death, the idea be- ing to wreak vengeance upon the offender for his wrongdoing. The State has merely taken up the battie of the individual in his struggles to protect himself against the aggressions of criminals. Prisons were then established, and in order to prove that these might not be burden- some upon the State the labor of the con- victs was manipulated for gain. Whether this was wise, when the question of com- petition is considered, is an open ques- tion. The speaker then explained the system employed in the prisons of Cali- fornia. Good conduct and intelligent la- bor long kept up have great reformatory effect upon the convicts. The prisoners have thelr own band and newspaper, and the young men are soon actually re- formed. The older criminals, as a rule, are incorrigibles. The idea of the system is to punish the criminal, but it remains to be seen if that principle is the best that miglr* be employed. The various types of criminals veillance. were ADVERTISEMENTS An ldeal Medicine, A New Discovery Which Cures All Forms of Catarrh. The tablet is the ideal form in which to ad- minister medicine, but until recently no suc- cessful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an excellent and pala- table remedy for catarrh in tablet form, known s Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets and sold by drug- gists, composed of the most recent discoveries in medicine for cure of catarrh, and results from their use have been highly gratifying. The old time treatment of catarrh was in the form of inhalers, washes, douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal remedies were used with greater success. but being in liquid or powder form were inconvenient to use and like all medicines in liquid or powder form losa their medicinal properties When openmed or ex- posed to the air. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets contain highly con- centrated antiseptics, Red Gum, Blood Root, etc., which kill the catarrh germs in the blood | and’ mucous membrane, and in this respect are strictly scientific and modern, because all au- thorities are now agreed that catarrh is a con- stitutional blood disease, and local applications can_ have only a transitory effect. The use of inhalers, douches and sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience and can in no wise compare favorably with the same antisiptics given in tablet form internally, where they can reach the stomach and blood and kil catarrh germs right where they are produced. A prominent lawyer and public speaker of Pittsburg _says: have been troubled with catarrh of the head and throat for twelve years. In this climate it seems impossible to get rid of it. The continual dropping of mucus from the nose into the throat caused irritation and hoarseness, serfously interfering with my public speaking. It tcok me an hour or more of coughing, gagging, expectorating and sneez- ing every morning before I could settle down to work, and this condition gradually brought on catarrh.of stomach, causing loss of appe- tite, poor digestion and a foul breath, which My physician ad- vised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I took them for two months and was aston- ished to find how quickly they cleared my head, throat and stomach, and I have no hesi. tation in recommending them. They are not only pleasant to take, but they seem to get at the very root of the trouble, because since | using them I have had no trace of catarrh.” | Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package. They can be carried in the pocket and used | any time and as often as desired, since they | contain no cocaine, Grrtane Arug, thieves had entered from the rear and | Criminals who | i MErcUry or any other in.y & JOB ROSENBERGS.

The question of reform was a complex one which time alone can solve. The paroling of prisoners was never abused by the Prison Directors, and the prediction that it would depopulate the prisons was mever realized. The pris- oner on parole has responsibilities which he respects, and in the,majority of cgses, thorough reform was the result. Released convicts require protection against black- mailers and popular prejudice. The speak- er hoped this question of protection would be carefully considered by the conference. He favored the segregation of criminals so that the novice in crime might escape the companionship of the adept and in- corrigible lawbreaker. This would re- quire a separate Institution to be erected and maintained by the State. The discussion which followed the ad- dresses was opened by Dr. Samuel H. Smith, who held that the theory of hered- ity relative to criminals was absolutely false. Men and women are responsible for their own making if the conditions surrounding them are favorable to the formation of noble characters. Brief re- marks were made by Prigon Director Rob- ert M. Fitzgerald and Rev. Mr. Wood- ward, after which an adjournment was taken. The programme to-day wiil be an in- teresting one. The afternoon session will be held at the First Unitarian Church, corner of Geary and Franklin streets, at 3 o'clock. The subject of ‘“The Juvenile Court’” will be discussed by Judges J. V. Coffey and M. C. Sloss. In the evening Dr. Smith will speak on the subject “Functions of the Associated Charities,” and Andrew M. Davis will talk on the co- operation of the Associated Charities with '.g: Merchants' Association in the forma- tion of a central endowment committee KNIGHTS OF THE ROYAL ARCH GIVE ANNUAL BALL Entertain Their Friends in TLavish Manner Till Dawn Comes Creeping On. The Knights of the Royal Arch gave their annual ball at Odd Fellows' Hall last evening. There was a large attend- ance and the committee of arrangements had carried out a novel and artistic form of decoration. From an early hour until past midnight a constant stream of gal- lant Knights and their friends made their way to the hall, where lavish hospitality and entertainment were waiting. Music of the best and graceful dancers kept the hours merry until early in the merning, when all voted the Royal Arch ball of 1902 a pronounced and perfect success. Jerome , Bassity, vallant commander, San Franciso Lodge No. 2, was inde- fatigable inehis attentions to the guests of the Knights, and he was ably assisted by C. F.

Dubois was appointed last night by the Federation of Mission Improvement Clubs to look into the conditions surrounding the acquisition of a site for pesthouse purposes by this city.s This committee will meet the mem- bers of the Board of Health and Mayor Schmitz and go over the ground thor- oughly. ‘Lhe matter was brought up by a com- munication submitted by the representa- tives of the Pattridge estate. A lucld ex- planation of the advantages of that site ‘was made by a number of the presidents of the clubs in the southeastern part of the Mission. Peter Stoliberg, president of the Potrero Nuevo Club, severely criti- cized the Board of Health and the Board 21‘ Public Works for their dilatory tac- cs. Mr. Flick of the same club said that the people of his district were ready to do the most desperate deeds imaginable to prevent any turther building on the site of the Twenty-sixth-street hospital. George H. Roundey also spoke. He favored the purchase of the unimproved tract that has been offered to the city by the land association in which he is in- terested. He was closely questioned by Max Popver, and finally admitted that the purchase of the land offered, and the con- struction of a road to reach the prem- ises, would more than exceed the appro- priation. J. J. Hayden, the representative of the Pattridge estate, was called upon to make a statement. He sald that while the plece of land offered by him was one-half the size of the other piece, it was improved and could be made avallable in & short time. His words impressed his hearers, and on his invitation, the committee was appointed to investigate. Mayor Schmitz and the members of the Hospital Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors and of the Board of Health will be invited to inspect the site of the greeent pesthouse and the two sites offered to the city. VEREIN EINTRACHT BALL PROVES A BIG SUCCESS Merry Throng of Maskers Enjoys Promenade Concert and Dance $ That Followed. Heralded as the .event of the season, the grand annual prize masquerade of the Verein Eintracht was given at Eintracht Hall last night, it being the realization of weeks of extended preparations and untiring efforts on the part of the dif- ferent committees, and proved the suc- cess anticipated. The spacious hall was {lluminated with incandescent lights of many hues and festooned in colors of the society in ad- dition to a pretty center plece suspended from the ceiling. The merrymakers, arrayed {n costumes resplendent in color, commenced to as- semble about 9 o'clock, and by midnight filled the hall. At 10 o'clock the prom- enade concert was held and served to give the throng of ctators an excellent op- ortunity to view the many characters zbly sustained by the hundreds of mas- queraders. Numerous }n-lxeu of exceptional value were offered for competition and awarded according to the relative merit of each respective competitor, causing the rivalry, that existed among the participants, to be quite in evidence during the evening.
