ALICE B. CHITTENDEN, the well-known and talented artist, who for the last six vears has been connected with the Hopkins Institute of Art in the capacity of assistant professor of | painting, will leave for the East in the | latter part of May to gather new material for her work. She will go first to the ccast of Maine, where she will devote three months to sketching the picturesque scenes of that rocky region. In the win- | ter she will go to New York, where she intends to do_considerable portrait work. Mrs. Chittenden’s many friends and ad- | mirers in this city who have watched her promising work expect that she will take rank among Eastern artists. She will be absent about a year. Mrs. Chittenden’s most valued achjeve- ment thus far is a w flower collection, consisting of 100 large studies, and Is said he most complete ever painted. Leading wotanists censider it very fine and very true to the wild flora. She also has the distinction of being the only | artist who has painted large pictures of floral scenes out of doors in the sunlight. Several medals have been awarded her for her work Mrx. Chittenden’s parti ar duty as as- sistant professor in the Hopkins Institute was the Instruction of the Saturday class. o - = NOTED LOCAL ARTIST WHO WILL SEEK FAME IN THE EAST. S o padd and canefields. The men much of e were up to their knees in mud and water, but they steadily pushed ahead, without a murmur, fighting the re- treating insurgents, who made brief stands behind the various defensive posi- tions which, with infinite 1abor and care, had prepared for the undoing of the i At the battle of An- August 16, 1899, the regiment ac- gele. complished a brilliant victory, farreach- ing in its results. General Wheaton on that day sent ten companies of the regi- ment and Lieutenant Kenly with two field guns, all under command of Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Smith, Twelfth Infantry, to make a reconnoissance in the direction of the important railroad town of Angeles Colonel . Smith found the insurgents strongly intrenched in the bamboo thick- ets surrounding the town, their large force completely covering the railroad embankment, the country roads and the open paddy fields, which formed the ap- proaches to the place; but, nothing daunt- ed, he made a direct assault and com- pletely routed the insurgents. The latter largely outnimbered the Twelfth Infantry and had the advantage of a strong nat- ural position’ protected by a long line of trenches. On account of roads and meager transportation the regi- ment was compelled to maintain alone for some weeks the advanced position at An- geles. The insurgents, with increased numbers, returned, constantly threatened and on several occasions attacked' the place, but on every occasion they were loss. . Aguinaldo’s northern army never afterward made a stand as a whole. General MacArthur characterized these operations as among the most brilllant episodes of the cam- paign. FORTIFICATIONS ARE TAKEN. Following these operations Lieutenant Colonel 8Smith became colonel of the Sev- enteenth Infantry and later was made a brigadier general of volunteers. Captains Evans, Wood and “Waltz, the battalion commanders, have been nominated by the President for the brevet rank of lieuten- ant colonel; Captains Winn and Ballou for that of major and Lieutenants Creary and C. F. Humphrey Jr. for that of cap- tain for distinguished gallantry at An- eles. ©The regiment suffered severely in the loss of officers and men. Lieutenant Al- fred Drew was killed August 17 at An- geles, Lieutenant Uline severely wounded on the same day and Lieutenant Will H. ! Williams mortally wounded on August 16. Lieutenant Colonel John W. Bubb fol- lowed Colonel 8mith in the command of the regiment. The last engagement in which. the regiment participated as a body with the other troops of the division occurred on November 11, 1899, at Bam- ban, a strongly fortified place on which the insurgents had worked for months with the hope of making it impregnable, but which the American troops under Colonels J. H. Smith, Seventcenth In- fantry, and J. F. Bell, Thirty-sixth In- fantry, turned without difficulty. The regiment entered Tarlac November 13, 1899. The insurgent army was now rout- ed, demoralized and widely scattered and never again was able to take the fleld as an organized army. For a time the war seemed at an end, but the long and la- borious campaign against the guerrilla bands of the Insurgent Generals Alejan- drino, Macabolus, Akino, Tecson and oth- ers was yet to follow. It is impracticable to enumerate here the expeditions and minor engagements in which various de- tachments of the regiment hunted down, fought, dispersed and captured these guerrilla bands in Tarlac province. The history of the pacification, the military government and the inauguration of clvil government in the province reflects credit upon Colonel i3ubb and the regiment. To Lieutenant Wright belongs the credit of capturing the iasurgent Governor Tecson | yigorous in mind. and and General Fructnoso Sembrano. Lieu. impracticable | tenant Aloe fell into a well at Moncado and fractured five ribs while pursuing an insurgent lieutenant colonel and spy, who | attempted to start a massacre in the tcwn, but he riddled the lieutenant colonel with bullets and his men captured a dozen insurgents and their guns. Two thousand firearms were secured by the Twelfth Infantry in the province of Tar- lac alone, COUNTRY PROUD OF DEEDS. Captain Clark of the regiment was the first civil governor of the province. His administration has been marked by the pacific and just character of his rule and growing confidence and contentment | among the natives. ’ | Companies E and. G, under the com- mand of Lieutenants Aloe and Cocheu, served in Ilocos Norte, Luzon, during the summer of 1900 under Generals Young and Bell, participating in various expe- ditions and engagements in that section. Lieutenant Aloe distinguished himself in the engagement at Monsambique Septem- ber 22, 1900, and has been nominated for the brevet rank of captain for his gal- lantry on that occasion. More recently a battalion. of the regi- ment, under command of Major Wood, bas taken an active part in the campalign against Lukban in Samar, which General Smith, the same who commanded, the | regiment at Angeles, has brought to a successful close. Licutenant Lyles of the regiment was with Major Waller in his terrible march across Samar. These are gallant deeds of which the country is proud, but the officers and men cannot recall them without sad thoughts of the brave companions who have met their death in the country’s service, many, it 1s true, on the battlefield in the flush of victory, but many others in the hospitals, the victims of the _insidious fevers and dysentery “which stalk in the wake of an army in the trooies. Lieutenant Churchman, just out West Point, with a high fever raging went to battle and met his death, July 1, 1898, at El Caney, while skilifully fir- ing the volleys of his platoon at the Bpaniards, entrenched léss than 300 yards away. On the same day , Lieutenant ‘Wilbur E. Dove.recéived wounds on ac- | count of which he has since had to re tire from active service. ILieutenant Wil- llam G. Elliott, who was one of the brav- est of the brave in the battles about San- tiago, immediately after the surrender and while sick-himself, went from the trenches to the city to get supplies for the sick men of -his company. He re- turned with the. !uipl!e! but in a state -of collapse from which he’ never recov- of ered. He was burled in Cuba. ajor Palmer G. Wood,.a veteran of the Civil War, and one of the ablest and best liked -officers in the regiment, gave to the regiment and country his two sons, both brave and excellent young officers, who died—one, Lieutenant Will Wood, at Santiago, and the other, Lieutenant Gay ‘Wood, in the Philippine Islands, both victims of pernicious malarial fever con- tracted in the line of duty. & ' OFFICERS OF REGIMENT. Lieutenant Edward Taylor, who distin. guished himself at Santiago, was stricken with fever and remained for many days at the point of death, but finally recov- ered and went with the regiment to the Philippines, where he lost his life. Lieu- tenant James C. Williams of the regi- ment is another who died in the Philip. pines, and Lieutenant Ralph C. Meyer dxédlwr’{lejm route there. ‘'olone) ohn W.

REPUBLICANG ADOPT A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN Party Leaders Favor the Primary System of Electing Delegates. State Committee Called to Meet in This City Late in May. Representatives to Be Chosen by Assembly Districts—Scheme for County Governing Bodies to Appoint Rejected. The executive body of the Republi- can State Committee last night rac- ommended that the State nominating convention of the Republican party be composed of delegates chosen at primary elections by Assembly dis- tricts throughout the State. The executive body of the Republican State Committee met at the Palace Ho« tel last evening in response to a call is- sued by General George Stone, chairman of the general committee. William J. Brady, Charles Bundschu, Henry J. Crocker, William 8. Wood, Willlam Barr. A. B. Lemmon, George Stone and J. Step- pacher were present. It was resolved at the.outset that a call should be issued for a meeting of the Republican State Committee In this city on Saturday, May 24, at 2 p. m. W. 8. "Wood introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That a committee of five, to which shall be added the chairman, be appointed by the chalr to prepare for presentation to the general committes a call for the State Con- vention and such®resolutions as it may deem advisable and such committee to report to the executive committee at its.next meeting. PRIMARIES RECOMMENDED. On motion of Henry J. Crocker the sub-committee was' instructed to embrace in the call for the convention a recom- mendation that primaries be head throughout the State. Later on Chairman Stone appointed the following sub or special committee in ac- cordance with the resolution: W. S. Wood and Charles Bundschu, 8an Francisco; ‘W, M. Cutter, Marysville; A. B. Lem- mon, Santa Rosa, and E. C. Hart, Sacra- mento, The committee will meet one week prior to May 24 to prepare the call and submit its report to the executive committee Friday, May 23. The chair- man’s name is added to the committee, Henry J. Crocker moved that the sub- committee be instructed to recommend that dele’]gntes be chosen by Assembly dis- tricts. ¢The motion also embraced the recommendation that there shall be one delegate for every 200 Republican vot and one for every majority fraction of 200 votes. of representation in each Assembly dis- trict is that which was cast for Samuel M. Shortridge for Presidential Elector at the general election in 1900. Mr. Crocker’s motion prevailed. It was the sense of the committeemen present that the convention should be large and that the voters of the party should have full _opportunity to express a preference in the selection of delegates. It is esti- mated that the convention will consist of 820 delegates. San Francisco's represen- tation will approximate 180. ORGANIZE AND REGISTER. The following resolution introduced by Chairman George Stone was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The State, district and county con- ventions for the nomination of candidates for office may not be held until the latter part of August or early in September, which will leave but a short period of time for new coni- mittees that may be named by the several conventions to prepare for and conduct the | campaign and attend to the many detalls in- cident thereto, it {s imperative that the exist- ing committees and organizations take the necessary measures to turn the affairs of the party over to thelr successors in a satisfactory manner and with the detalls arranged as com- pletely as possible; therefore be it Resolved, That all Republican county com- mittees and the members thereof be and they are hereby urgently requested to take such steps as will insure prompt registration and prompt organization In every precinct in the State. Resolved, That all committees take the neces. sary steps to secure the appointment of fit and competent _election officers for all elections, Resolved, That each Republican organization or club fs requested to meet at an early date to prepare for a thorough and combléte or- ganization of the party within their respective localities. WILL HARMONIZE PARTY. The ‘action of the executive committee in recommending primaries _throughout the State will count for party harmony and success in the next campslfim In the face of this recommendation the general committee can hardly countenance the machine plan of appointment b county committees. In the first skirmis of the big battle to come the machine forces are repulsed. Governor Gage would not go wrong it he should advise his new Harbor Com- missioner, Johnny Mackenzie, that the water front of San Francisco does not extend to Santa Cruz, Johnny arrived in SantaCruz last Sunday night and sent for Warren Porter of Watsenville. Por- ter was advised to see a prominent eciti~ zen of Santa Cruz on the subject of o ganizing a Gage boom in that county. Gage certainly needs help in Santa Cruz, but his cause will not be advanced by the detail of two State office-holders—Mac- kenzie and Porter—to head the procession | of boomers. Playful Dogs Cause Injury. On leaving the German Lutheran Church, O'Farrell street, on Sunday morning, Mrs. Emma Neddernut, 82 years of age, was accidentally knocked down by two large dogs that were playing in the vicinity. Mrs. Neddernut was taken to her home, 118 Oak street, and Dr. F. F. Lord was called in to attend her. He found Mrs. Neddernut had sustained two fractures of the right leg and was also svffering from severe shock. —————— Scott’s “Lady of the Lake.” The postponed dramatization of Scott's “Lady of the Lake” will take place next Thursday evening at the Cogswell Poly- technic School. @ civiedbriviiiniileelddelieleieet @ He entered the service as a soldier ot Company E.

Mrs. James Cox, a woman' nearly 50 years of age and a recent arrival from Los Angeles, was left destitute by a thief's act yesterday evening. She was passing the corner of Market and Third streets, when a pickpocket snatched her purse, containing all of her wealth, and before she could raise an alarm, he had made his escape in the crowd. Mrs. Cox came from Los Angeles about two weeks ago. She was without ac- quaintances in the city and lmmedl&vtely started out to find employment. While walking on Market street last evening in a large crowd of people, the bold thief did his work, securing her purse, contain- ing $40 and a diamond ring valued at $100. At the police station Mrs. Cox said the contents of the purse was all she had on earth and that she was without money even to pay for her night's lodging. The thief she describes as being.a man 35 years of age, short and heavy-set, attired in a shabby dark suit and soft black hat. Pythian Excursion.

W, B, HOFF S5 HE WIS DRUNK Judge Kerrigan Annuls His Marriage to May Goldstein. States e H “I was drunk, your Honor, and I did not know what I was doing.” So said Walter R. Huff yesterday when Judge Kerrigan asked him why he mar- ried May Blanche Goldstein when he had a wife Ilving. The fact that he was drunk was the only excuse offered by Huff, and as Miss Goldstein could give no reason why she gave her consent to the ceremony other than that Huff represented he was a di- vorced man, Judge Kerrigan annulled the marriage. The marriage of Huff and Miss Gold- stein was performed by Justice of the Peace Daniels on December 23 of last year. It was the windup of a holiday de- bauch, and it certainly was a warm fin- ish. ~ A half-hour after Huff and Miss Goldstein had been made one at the City Hall they were confronted by an irate woman looking for a lost husband. A few words from her and Huff slunk away, and the truth came out.

Ariel Rowing Club Must Pay Money for Breaking Its Ru'es. The meeting of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association last evening was a torrid one. All the delegates from the various amateur organizations expected an exciting session and came prepared. At the very outset the Bay City Athlet Club made a strenuous effort to be re- stored to full amateur standing in order to bring off its regular monthly boxing contests, but the committee declined the peaeeful and contrite overtures of the management of the club. The matter was voted upon and lost. Further action was then deferred until next meeting. In the meantime the Bay City Athletic Club must sit by and watch rival organizations bring off contests. A heated discussion was had over a fine imposed on the Ariel Rowing Club by ll}n‘ registration committee. It appears that the boat club gave a boxing exhibition last month for the benefit of its bc house fund. Among the men who ap- peared in the ring was a husky fighter named Green. The latter was not an amateur and should not have been al- lowed to go on, but the club risked a fine by zllowing him to fill an aching void. Chairman George James of the registra- tion committee imposed a fine of 325 on the Ariels and last night T. J. Lynch, a member of the organization who repre- sents the boat club in the association, came, primed with a long speech full of apologies, explanations and statements. James and Huber Hauser took umbrage at some of his remarks. Upon motion of Delegate Cadogan of the Reliance Ath- letic Club, seconded by Charles Eickert, representing Stanford University, the registration committee’s action was up- held. Chairman James was satisfled. In one of his speeches he intimated that he would ask to have the committee dis- banded if its action was not upheld. Rather than have such a valuable com- mittee turned down the delegates voted almost unanimously in favor of the Ariel Club paying the fine. . Mr. Lynch gave notice of an appeal to the Amateur Ath- letic Union. th Upon motion made by Mr. James 325 was voted to the University of California track _team, which leaves for the East next Thursday. Two new athletic clubs— the Observatory and the California, ap- plied for recognition by the association. The matter was referred to the commit- tee on membership. Jumps in Front of Car. Albert Cupertino, a boy who resides at at 730 Vallejo street, had a narrow es- cape from being seriously injured yes- terday morning by an electric car at the corner of Stockton and Ellis streets. He jumped from a wagon and landed in front of a moving Ellis-street car, and was knocked down. He sustained a lac- eration of the chin and lost a_tooth. He was taken to the Rallroad Hospital for treatment. —_——— Ship Painters Injured. John A.
