Now, that splendid | feast of song and story was spread be- fore the Corona Club at three separate | | meetings, instead of one, as was inad- vertently stated. Your pardon, ladles. | A club presenting so fine a programme | surely has a grievance when the facts | of it are trifled with. s e Eig ¢The Mills Club will hold a socigl ses- sion to-morrow in the Sorosis’ Club rooms, at which among other good things Mrs. James F. McGauley will present some of her excellent reéadings. During the afternoon a reception will be tendered the past presidents. s mIm The Californla Landmarks League will hold a general meeting on Wednes- day, January 20, at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. This meeting of the league will present to the public what has been done in the restoration of the San Antonio Mission, in Monterey County. Senator Joseph R. Knowland will present views of the mission when the league first took up the work and views of the beautiful old sanctuary as . i it looks now. The walls are completely rebuilt, but the roofing had progressed but half when the rains—and a scarcity of dollars—caused a temporary cessa- tion, The work done thus far has been cardfully protected, and the lumber on hand was stored away until the coming of spring. The league hopes to have the mission in good condition for the 14th of June, the one day of all the year save the 16th of September that is of interest to-the Spaniards and their de- scendants. These good, happy, simple people wend their way down the moun- tainsides and up from the valleys for a distance of fifty miles to stand within the church of their forefathers on the famous San Antonio day. May the league succeed in its endeavor! PSR The following ladies will go to the federation from the California Club: Delegates—Mrs. A. Sharon, Mrs. V. Bradley, Mrs. A. A. Cotton, Mrs. H. H. Fassett and Mrs. A. W. Cornwa al- ternates—Mrg. Lewis Hertz, Mrs. O. E. Rieser, Mrs. Horace Coffin, Miss Kath- erine Hittell and Mrs. A. W. Scott. PSR En The Sketch Club held a delightful re- ception at their clubhouse on Califor- nia street on Friday between 3 and 6. The rooms were . made pretty with woodwardia, and with the warm glow from the yule log and the candles’ gleam on the mantel shelf. More than 100 guests called during the afternoon, | each one of whom was charmed with the beautiful O’Ryan. Keith's two pictures are admired ex- travagantly by the visitors, and small wonder! minfatures of Miss , The following programme of the Fo- rum Club, under the management of Mrs. George L.

The Jefferson Square Club, with de- lightfully appointed clubrooms in the Pioneer Automobile buflding, has heen organized, its policy outlined, and its facilities are almost in working order. The organization is a club of v;n and women (the ideal club), and it mem- bership is confined to the members of the Bohemian, Cosmos, Press, Univer- sity and Union League clubs, and their women friends. Its object is to encour- age and promote bowling, a sport now in high order in the East. e sive Interesting to all clubwomen is the visit in this city of Mrs. Mary E. Hart, who organized a club in the Land of the Midnight Sun. She called her club a most impossible name, but says in ex- tenuation that it really means some- thing. It is called “Kegoayah Kozga,” which, in the native tongue, means “Aurora or Northern Lights Club.” Mrs. Hart is to be a guest of the Papyrus Club on Thursday, when the members will meet a most interesting and charming woman.

MRS. COIT 1S SPEEDING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC =t Friends Reccive Advices That She Sailed Saturday From New York for Paris. A private message received in this city from New Yorks vesterday an- rounced that Mrs. Lillian_Hitchcock- | Coit, who quietly left here a week ago, presumably to avoid testifying in the case of Alexander Garnett, who killed Major McClung in her apartments at the Palace, had been in that city sev- eral days'and ha#d sailed for Paris Sat- urday. The report confirms the sus- picions of Mrs. Coit's local friends, who believed that Paris was her des- tination when she left this city and that her sudden departure had been planned in anticipation of the calling of the Garnett case in the Superior Court. It was learned here yesterday that Mrs. Coit had arranged to be absent from San Francisco an indefinite period and before leaving this city she had turned over to the Union Trust Company all her private business af- fairs, accompanied with a power of aitorney. Garnett's case is down on the court calendar for this morning, when, it is said, he will be represented by Attor- A friend of the ‘Garnett family, Judge Reeves of Denver, has written the prisoner a letter, in which he has signified his willingness ‘' to come to this city as the legal repre- sentative of Garnett. H —_——— \ WAR SCARE HAS AN EFFECT ON Gloomy Outlook Causes a General Tumbling of Stocks in London - Market. LONDON, Jan. 10.—Under the influ- ence of the war scare tBe Stock Ex- ckLange had a very bad week, all the markets tumbling. Fo.tunately, after the unfounded rumor of the recall from Nice of M. Delcasse, the French®For- eign Minister, which caused temporary disturbances in Paris and Berlin, those bourses recovered and continued to dis. play considerable confidence that peace would be preserved. Saturday saw a good recovery, par- ticularly in Japanese and Russian se- curities, which were aggin bought from Paris and Berlin. American raflroads have not suffered so greatly, the public believing that even if there should be a war between Russia and Japan it would tend to help the trade of the United States.. Hence sisted the tendéncy of depress prices. BONDS the market re- | & Wall street to k. NEW TRAINING REGULATIONS IN BRITAIN’S NAVY The British Admiralty has {ssued new instructions regarding the train- ing of officers and seamen. Lieutenants training in gunnery and torpedo work will have to pass through two courses, one of fifteen weeks and the other of thirty-seven weeks, and, after qualify- ing, will be required, TY three years, to go through a three-months’ up-to- date course and will receive special pay, ranging from 25 cents to $1 a day. Enlisted boys, on leaving the training | [ ships, are to serve at sea until rated as seamen, and will then be drafted to ships to become -A. B's! In the latter rating they are required to pass in the following subjects: Seamanship, tor- pedoes, gunnery, field training, stoke- hold work and use of mechanical tools. Those most proficient in gunnery will have special courses at gunnery schools to pass for seaman gunner. The best of these will be made gunlayers, tur- ret gunners and sightsetters and wi | receive extra pay, ranging from 2 cents to 25 cents. These ratings must be qualified foy every tliree years.' In the recent prize firing of the Brit- ish fleet in the Mediterranean the five battleships made the following records: | 12-inch Guns. | 6-inch Guns. Name of Ship. | 7 ounds. | Hits: Round..\l Hits.

The repair bill of ships of the United States navy is getting large and in a few years promises, to exceed the outlay for new construction. Mod- ern- ships are costly to maintain in a state of efficiency and a large proportion of the money expend- ed under the head of repalrs is really for alteration and Improvement of ships that are rnpl{fly becoming obso- lete. This is notably the case with the battleships built ten years ago, and it is*toubtful whether it is worth the expense of half :a million dollars to hull and machinery to partially recon- struct some of these ships. Orders have been issued for extensive repairs to the Indiana, involving an outlay of $500,000, and not less than one year's time, and similar repairs and altera- tions are intended in the near future to the Massachusetts, Oregon and Iowa. The cost of repairs td the Indiana amounts to $485,000 to the present time; the Massachusetts, $430,000; Oregon, $475,000, and the lowa, $245.000. The Indiana wa$ placed in commission in June, 1895; the Massachusetts and the Oregon in June and July, 1896, and the Towa in June, 1897. The large re- pair bill of the Oregon is due to her be- ing run ashore on the coast of China. involving temporary repairs in Japan and subsequent everhauling at the Puget Sound naval station. The Massa- chusetts has run aground twice, neces- sitating about $250,000 repairs, but the Indiana has glways been a ‘lame duck’ and the Jowa, through defective ma- chinery and poor workmanship. has never come up to the expectations which her admirable design warranted. Another case of chronic decrepitude is that of the Texas, which has cost $496.- 000 in repairs since August, 1895. In all of these four ships, the Oregon ex- cepted, the trouble is of such a nature that entire reconstruction of hull and machinery is necessary to make them equal to ships of recent construction. and this cannot be done within the limit of $500,000 for each ship. —_——————— PERSONAL.

EN’S CLUBS BUSILY ENGAGED. HE HOLIDAY FUNCTIONS, CONTINUES ACTIVE Various Organizaiions Give Social Functions That Are Largely Attended. Marriages Solemnized and Engagements Announced—Pleasant Home Parties Serve to Fill Evenings With Merriment for Many. The first few' days of the new year were busy ones for the pleasure seek- ers in the social world. Home and club parties were quite the thing in the amusement line. Many marriages were celebrated in this city as well as out of town and the engagements of sev- eral well known young people are also announced. A ) COLUB PARTIES. The Laurel Hall Club held one of the choicest sessions of the week, at which ‘William H. Mills delivered an address upon “The Forestry Policy of the Unit- ed States Government.” The leading facts brought out by Mr. Mills were “the unalterable determination of the Government not to sell any more of the forested lands; that public ownership was a necessity and also logical, inas- much as denuding a forest despoiled the homes of adjacent people, and, moreover, individuals cannot be de- pended upon to sacrifice individual in- terests, should opportunity present it- self, while the natlon’s policy stands unchanged.” 5 w NSy “The M. M. Club held its third annual gathering at the home of Mrs. J. W. Keyston, 1080 Fulton street, on Thurs- day afternoon, Jan. 7. A delightful luncheon was served to the club mem- bers by their hostess at‘1 o’clock. From 3 to 5 the young ladies were “at home” to their friends. Among those present were Mrs. J. W.

The California Women's Whist League played the first game of the new year on Monday, Jan. 4, and ac- commodated eight tables of players at straight whist. The Monday game has become very popular as it is the day the club entertains visitors. The straight whist prize was won by Mrs. M. M. Garoutté, who made the highest score ever recorded in the club. The third game of the duplicate series was played on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 7, and twenty-four boards were played. There will be the usual second Thurs- day meeting, but no series game: cn that day as many of the members are desiroys of learning the game of “500” and s. Eugene Grace, the president, will devote that afternoon to members who wish instructions. There will also be the play of compass whist for club pins. 1 R The Apropos Whist Club gave a de- lightful New Year's eve party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Meyer, 818 Webster street. Whist was played until the whistles announced the new year, whereupon ~the prizes were awarded to Mrs. S. Susskind, Lester Lacher and J. S. Meyer.

Joseph, r. and Mrs. Lester Lacher, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lasky, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Riedel and Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Susskind. S s T The Le Deuze Whist Club was enter- tained by its president, Miss Maybelle Wilbur, at her home, 48 Pierce street, on New Year's eve. After a few hours of whist playing Miss Wilbur provided her guests with tin horns and whistles, and at the hour of 12 all adjourned to the sidewalk to blow the old year out and usher in the new one. Supper was served, and a programme of songs and dances followed. Mrs. George E. Moore and Miss Sophie Doris Asmus rendered the duet from the opera “Aida.” Mr. Moore and Mr. Smith appeared in black face specialties, and Mrs. Ella Craig and Mr. Spencer in a scene from the “Taming of the Shrew.” Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. George E.

About thirty couples participated. F. Holland was floor manager of the ev.emng. w o New Year's eve was e :ccasion of a merry and joyful gathering of the Cosmopolitan Social Club at Fischer's Theater.
