Hughes Le Roux Says They Could Please Their Husbands by So Doing. BERKELEY, May 11.—M. Hughes Le Roux, the French lecturer, spoke yesterday afternoon at the University of Californie on Flaubert as a painter of Northern France. Flaubert, he sald, gave his life up wholly to his art, x4 his movels had a great influence on French and other writers. Fleubert's ““Madame Bovary”” was one of his greatest works, as it dealt with the human in- terest question, “What is going to become of s woman who is educated beyond her sta- tion?’ M. Le Roux advised women to take more interest in the business of their husbands a to endeavor by this display of interest to attract them from the coarser side of life to its finer influences. ‘"Men cannot hope, how. ever,” sald the chivalrous lecturer, “to reach the high moral and intellectual refinement of women."" — TWENTIETH CENTURY COOK BOOKS A car-load of Cook Beoks has $ust arrived from Chicago and they are ready for disiri- bution ot the business office of this paper.

Leading Oitizens Tell What San Joaquin Tcur Has Taught. ot The San Francisco business men who | toured the San Joaquin Valley last week | !decided on the homeward journey that a | | similar compliment was due to the Sac- | | ramento Valley. A meeting was called | ! in one of the cars while the business men | | were speeding through Contra Costa | | County, at which President F. J. Symmes | |of the Merchants’ Association presided. | No date was fixed for the tour through | the Sacramento Valley, nor were any de- tails arranged, the proposition being then | | entertained for the first time. | | The benefits that arise from having the | |San Franciscans personally acquainted | | with the people and the several localities | im the interior having been made manifest | by the San Joaquin Valley trip, the ldca‘ | was entertained readily that the same at- | tention- that has been paid to one section i of the State was due to others. | same meeting it was voted to send to the | | communities that entertained the visitors | on their trip through the San Joaquin | Valley the thanks of the visitors. Lead-| ing members of the business men’s party | were interviewed concerning the San Joa- |‘quin excursion. | REPRESENTATIVE MEN SPEAK. | President F. J. Symmes of the Mer- chants’ Association said: The merchants’ excursion to the San Joa- | quin Valley is completed and may be pro- | nounced & magnificent success. Never before | has such a body gone forth from San Fran- | cisco on such a mission. The object was en- | tirely an unselfish one. It has been profound- | ly impressed upon us that the State % greater thar the city and that the nobler object ol} working for others and bullding up the H'Ale-I rior is sure to bring 4 little later prosperity | directly to our own doors. It was a, pleunm{ | mission to o forth to the Interiof of the State and say to the citizens of various cities and towne that we have twenty-five hundred dollars a month which we intend to devote to | making known to the world the advantages | of California, rexardless of sectional interests. It was not known that we went out to offer | any such advantages to the interior and yet | | our recention at every point was most cordial | | and sincere. Good men and falr women greet- | | ed vs with fruit and with flowers and with | kind words till we almost felt that we must be | | some Eastern or foreign delegaticon to a Chris- | | tian conference or a woman's, convention. We ! learned another lesson, also, that such a jour- | ney of the merchants of our city has another ‘\alun beyond the stimulation which we feel | | | was given to those with whom we came in contact. We learned to know and enjoy each other better and made it easler to do another | 800d and unselfish deed in future. | Vice President Charles Bundschu of the | Merchants’ Assoclation sai | _ The merchants’ excursion through the San | Joaquin Valley, including the carnival at Ba- { kersfleld, 1s an_incident to be long remem- | bered by all who avafled themselves of the | opportunity afforded. With the various im- prassions of the immense natural resources and development of this central district of California, with its good cheer and good fel: | lowship, this first experiment of a united ef- ! fort in the direction of practical promotion | | must be pronounced an unqualified success. A | congenlal body of wide-awake busincss men | was finally induced to join the excursion ana the majority copsidered it a sort of personal sacrifice or individual concession. But they received In return more than they had antici- pated. The kind and heartfelt appreciation of the people we met wherever a short stop could be made: the desire that was expressed in muny ways to assist in the promotion of common interests forcefully reminded the mer- chants of San Francisco that the metropolis must take the lead In establishing friendly | relations between the city and the country. | We tender to all who befriended us on our | trip our sincere recognition for the instruction | and gratification we experienced and enjoyed. EXCURSION A SUCCESS. Ardrea Sbarboro, president of the | Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- | tion, said: Our excursion has been a remarkable suc- | cess and will do a xreat deal toward cement- | ing ties of friendship between the country and | the city. Everywhere we received ovations. The people we visited were heartily zlad to eee us. The only regret expressed was that our stay was too short and we had to prom- ise to come again and stay longer. The visit to the country was a revelation to many of our party who had not visited the S8an Joa- quin Vailey, and had no idea of its immen: and diversified resources. Millions of dolla could profitably be invested and thousands of leborers be employed in developing the indus- | trles of the country visited. The people of | Bakersfleld, Porterville, Visalia, Tulare, Han- ford and Fresno view with pleasure the move- ment inftiated by the business men of San Francisco to promote the industry and popu- late the country and will co-operate with us in the movement. They all belleve they live in the best part of the State, but allare willing to work for prosperity of a Greater California. Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade said: The business men’s excursion to Bakersfleld and the upper San Joaquin Valley, under the auspices of the different commercial organiza- tions of San Francisco, was a success. It | was pleasurable, profitable and educational. | Besides affording the opportunity for an out- ing and relaxation under the most favorable | conditions for men who are usually confined | and burdened with responsibllities it gave | | those same men a chance to meet many of their interior patrons face to face and exchange | friendly greetings, and what s more impor- | tant it gave the business men of the metropolis of the State a chance to see and learn mors | of the State's great resources and possibilities. |~ Those who went on this excursion and saw | the oil flelds of Kern, the orange groves and prune orchards of Tulare, the rich and varled resources of Kings, the great raisin vineyards of Fresno, the wine and orchard and raisin in- | dustries of Madera, returned with increased | faith and pride in California, because mote profoundly {mpressed with its prodigal rich- ness and wonderful possibilities. Their confl. | dence in the State of their home could nol | | belp but be increased by the scenes of pro- ductiveness that greeted them on every hand, | Confidence inspires enterprise, enterprise be- | gets investment, investment puts money in cir- culation, leads to the development of latent resources, gives stimulus to all kinds of busi- ness and makes better times for everybody. Such excursions are good things becauss th afford the men of business a chance fo know the country on which their business feeds, and 1 am sure the better San Francisco business men know California the more confidence they will have in their city and their own Invest. ments. PROMOTION COMMITTEE. --ufus P. Jennings of the promotion committee sald: The first excursion of representative business men of San Francisco to the San Joaquin Val- ley has accomplished much to bring about a closer relationship between the metropolis and the interfor. The party made seven stops en route and on every side was greeted most cor- dially and royally entertained. Many, in fact the majority of the excursionists, had never before visited thls wonderful valley, and espe- Qally under such favorable conditions. Drives were taken into the country and the genial hosts took especlal pains to point out the re- sources of their several localities. Grand are these resources, the opportunitles for profit- able investment belng everywhere apparent, At the| i | When the world at large has been informe what the San Joaquin Valley has to Ofl!rdn‘;( people necessary to its proper development wil flock to this garden spot by thousands. The California promotion committee has undertaken the proper advertising of this State, with the | co-operation of the interior, which such sxcur. sions aid so much in bringing about. The | California_promotion committee will grrange | other excursions in the near future to difte ent parts of the State, as it has been pract cally demonstrated that they are in the right direction. | ‘Walter M. Castle of the promotion com- I mittee said: In my opinion the benefits to be, derived from the Ban Francisco buginess nfen's ex. cursion to the San Joaquin Velley pitles ea not be overestimated. The exchange of cou tesies between the members of the mercantile organizations of San Francisco and the Boards of Trade and by business men of the valley, | the exchange of business views and the at tentive consideration of thé requirements of | our friends and next door merchants eloquently | pointed out to us through the able arguments of their orators, cannot fail to produce unquali- fledly good resuits. Aside from all this the fact | remaing that San Francisco has shown by the | tion of her representative business men a | spirit of open-handed and full-hearted sym- pathy with and for these upbuilders of our | magnificent San Joaquin Valley that cannot ' be sultably expressed in words. Among other classes of business men | Ofl Company, with $1,000,000 capit: POPULAR SOCIETY GIRL WHO RETURNED LAST WEEK FROM CHI- CAGO, WHERE SHE ENJOYED A PROLONGED STAY WITH HER FAMILY, \’VHIC"H NOW RESIDES IN THAT CITY. L OW that ping-pong has become necessary to happiness in the so- cial world it is remembered that when Dr. Humphreys of Honolulu passed through this city last De- cember on his return from England he prophesied that in six months America would go crazy over ping-pong. He sald they were playing it with unwonted en- thusiasm abroad and that it was bound to become a reigning fad. It is certainly a fascinating game. I am not surprised that an occasional meal has to be eaten off the mantel while the dining table is use. Nothing could be more practical than to have a table made for ping-pong purposes. The Hotsl Mateo managers have had one specially made that is at- tracting no end-of favorable comment and placed convenlently in the parlor. It is made a little like a billlard table, only having exact ping-pong dimensions and covered with red felt. The crowning fea- ture is the rim of wood, two inches high, which keeps the balls from rolling off o easily. Of course, they bound off repeat- edly, so the players are sure of sufficlent exercise without any unnecessary scram- bling about the floor after balls. i s The promenade concert at the Hotel Mateo's Eden-like grounds produced no end of lovely women and escorts. Stun- ning gowns were everywhere in evidence, and with a good musical programme and 4000 incandescent lights the esthetic sense was more than appealed to. The gowns worn by a party from the city, in- ciuding the Walls and_ Miss Grey, were greatly, admired. Mrs. Wall wore a cloth gown of navy biue with a pencil stripe of white, trimmed with stitched bands of blue taffeta, d red embroidered vest. Her modish hat was a flat Parislan crea- tion, with a wealth of lace falling on her hair to the shoulders. L The new Mrs. Bonnet (nee Merrill), the talented bride of Theodore F. Bonnet, is gaining beauty every day. A sweeter face . is rarely seenfand her figure is charming. Mr. and Mrs. Bonnet made a very short wedding trip owing to business interests, and they are therefore taking little trips te near resorts of interest every Saturday to Monday. This week they were at Hotel Mateo. s oe . 5 Everybody is glad to have Miss Pearl Sabin back again. She returned last week from a prolonged stay in Chicago with her family. The Sabins were delightfully situated at the Auditorium Hotel in that city, where they have many strong friends. Miss Sabin is one of those charming girls that no end attention could spoil. She is always sweet, sympa- thetic and lovable. It is needless to say that no social function vet to be given would be complete without her. BT 1 will venture to say that Mrs. John F. Merrill had less arguing to do than any woman at the convention in Los Angeles last week. Of course, she represente Century and Alden clubs mast conscien- tlously, but aggressive methods are not a part of her policy, vet she certainly gets favorable resul One observes that while Mrs. Merrill is prominently identi fied with club work she never forgets that her husband and children come first, and that the same harmony pervades her home that attends her work outside. Her children have inherited their mother's beauty, and are so charmingly trained that any one might well be proud of | them. Then, too, Mrs. Merrill belongs to | the clubs that do loving and philan- thropic work. I believe she is a director in one of the hospitals, an associate mem- ber of the Alden Club and of the Interna- tional Sunshine "Society (of which the Alden fs a branch), and honorary presi- dent of the Little Marguerites, as well as the Chrysanthemum Auxiliary, both of which support a bed In the Children's Hospital the yvear round.

Wooster of the Santa Clara Val- ley Improvement Club said: The San Joaquin Valley is in its best bib ana tucker. The spring time glow is every- Where spread upon its verdure. The latch- string was out. The city man walked in with- out knocking and was received with manifest cordiality. The people of the great San Joa- Quin know and like the city merchants better, and vice versa, and the merchant has a much Wider range of knowledge of the possibilities of that portion of the State and is therefore freer to take up co-operative development, Which means & greater and more glorious commonwealth. Just appreciation of the wonderful develop- ment of the Kern oll flelds cannot be had without a personal view. The rapld utility of electricity and the natural water power which Supply the energy for lighting and power pumping for irrigation_and other use ig néw more widely known. The city man can now talk and write more intelligentiy on the mar- velous possibilities of California. A similar excursion should be taken up the Sacramentc Valley before its harvest is completed. The better we all know each other the better ths result will be for all. The members of the San Francisco busi- neks men’s excursion party are still laughing over the witty speech that San- mfi Bennett of the San Franclsco Board of Trade made at the Bakersfield roof garden meeting. He said that he had at home desiccated canned speeches; told of his experience in mining, and then came to his experience as a member of an ofl_ company. At first he was in what Mrs, Partington would call “Indignant circumstances,” but finally he .became more wealthy and was a stockholder and director. He was in the Blnoman Idiot fitty suckers and dead sure to strike ofl. “We bored through four distinct strata of stockholders,” asserted Bennett. But when he had finished joshing he congrat- ulated Bakersfield heartily on its embar- rassment of riches. ———— Yosemit: Via the Santa Fe.

They looked into| each other’s faces, dropped the body and | ran upstairs to notify Chief Deputy Me- Cormick. They were as pale as ghosts. | i MeCormick got them to feturn with-him | to the Morgue and they shook the body, | 0 when a perceptible sound, resembling a | long drawn out groan came from the Corpse. Fennel placed his hand over the THEATR E dead man's heart and found that it was | not cold, although there was no pulsa-| tion. Later a mirror was placed over the mouth, but there was no sign of respira-| tion. The conclusion was thereupon reached that the man was really dead, but no one could account for the groans. | The body remained for some hours with- urning cold.
