Itis not believed that any reference to the ritualistic element in the church will be made at this convention, but a con- flict is anticipated over the proposed adoption of certain canons. On this account the present conven- tion is regarded with some anxlety ia certain quarters.

Through “Cafe Chantant,” to Be Given at Palace Hotel Those of Kindly Heart Will Have Opportunity to Swell Fund for Humamtanan Purpose. IS LOOKED FOR: Have you ever wandered over the grassy slopes of Telegraph Hill, in and out of the cul de sacs, up and down the rickety flights of stairs that lead to eyrie flower patches, or Into the shadowy courts that lle between the bee - hive tenements swarming with little brown - eyed foreigners? If not, then you have not Kknown| the privileges of a San Fran- ciscan. If you have, then you will know what one little woman has been trying to do for these strangers to our shores, to our customs and to our pro- gressiveness. It is Miss Bettie Ashe— she who founded and has carried on successfully the Telegraph Hill settle- | ment work, which, by the way, is being | magnificently duplicated at the other I'side of the city, where the masses of the toiiers dwell—in the South Park dis- trict. Now, Miss Ashe needs money. Her work of treating the sick, supplying nurses for the needy, looking after the poor little “padroned” urchins whose hearthstone is the pavement, and whose | “care” means the possession of a goodly chunk of brown bread (not Boston) and a goblet of wine—theze are the cares, | and they use up in very short notice a | few drabs of dollars. Now, to-night will bring the oppor-! tunity of society and the clubwomen who possess an interest in these hu- manities to manifest the same by at- tending the “Cafe Chantant,” in the! maple room of the Palace Hotel, and! contributing their dollar—two if they | wish—to the settlement’s work on Tele- | graph Hill. And besides the g ca- | tion of conscience for a good de there will be a merry time | boulevard night—in our stafd and emi- | nently respectable Palace. There are | to be tables scattered about, where beer | and its concomitants wili be dispensed | by the clever®st maids in the smacrt | | set. abetted ably by the beaux of club- dom. Among the latter are: Lloyd | Baldwin, Wilbur Burnet Gerald Rath- | bone, Wil! Page, Athole McBean, Mr. Petherick, Worthington Ames, Willard Drown, Seward McNear, Sidney Salis- bury, Lieutenant Rousseau, U. S. N.: ‘Wilfrid Page, Mr. Young, Karl Howard, William- Goldshorough, Millen Griffith. James Jenkins, Coppee Thurston aud | Thomas Berry.

Miss Griffith, Mrs. James Fol- | lis, Mrs. Norman McLaren. Mrs. | James Tucker, Mrs. Stern, Mrs. James Langhorne, Richard Hotaling, Dr. Harry Tevis and Porter Ashe. Miss Ethel Hager, Miss Pearl Lan ders, Miss King and several clever society maids will—well, not_tell—until tosmorrow. The Settlement shculd have, on the morrow. a respectable sum to put with | its banker. And it will, assuredly, | with such able lieutenants. | | Among the members of the orchestra | | are several of the musicians of the | Twentieth Century Club and Richard | M.

T The California Club had a day of varied interests last Tuesda Father Crowley, who was to have read a paper upon “The Boys’ Farm at Ruthenford,” was unable to be present, but sent his address to the club, which was read by Mrs. Arthur Cornwell— herself a student of juvenile econom- ics. The paper proved to be replete with live suggestions and comments, which, at this hour of investigation, was especially apropos. Miss May Patton, formerly of the { County Hospital staff, but recently re- jturned from a six months’ tour of Europe, gave a comprehensive paper on ! the hospitals of the continent as com- pared with our local institutions, pub- | lic and private. That our venerable County Hospital was hardly in the A | class was rather conclusively proven— if proofs be necessary. Miss Patton knows her subject thoroughly and gave _liberally of her information.

The Women's Press Association will hold a promising session to-day at Cen- tury Hall, when Mrs. Edith Auffrey of London wi]l talk about club life in the English capital. As a prominent writer and a member of the Press Club in London much interest is manifested in her address. A discussion will ensue about the | relative responsibilities of newspaper folk, which will bring together some clever people, including Mrs. Mabel Craft Deering. William Irwin of he Chronicle, T. W.

President Roosevelt, let it be known { abroad in clubdem and elsewhere, has | forwarded the California petition for the preservation of the Calaveras big trees to Congress, with some very per- tinent comment. The New York Zoological Society last week nassed some very strong resolu- tions indorsing the efforts put forth in Congress for the safety of this mighti- est forest in the world. This is all sweet music to the women of the forestry section of the Cali- fornia Club (with whom the agitation began four or five years ago), and the energetic women of the Outdoor Art League, who have communicated with | the political leaders in every State in the Union in regard to the matter. So, too, has the Semver Virens Club done veoman service in the mat er. “Let | honor lie where honor is due.” ‘There is yet much to do.

It may be that the social con- ditions of Gotham called it forth—if we would hearken to Watterson and to one of the national leaders of clubdom —the exigencies of society compeiled its birth. The following explains it- self: “The new club wiil strive to com- bat divorce, race suicide and other moral evils in society.

The following is a brief annual re- port of the work of the Doctor’s Daugh- ters in 1903: The year has been a active one, elghtcen meetinas hayink been held, with an average attendance of tweive members. Notiwithstanding the great prosperity of our city, even more than the usual number of cases of destitution and suffering have been reported and attended to. Eighty-five cases have been carsd for. and our average distribution is as follows: Groce- ries regularly supplied to thirty-stx familis. meat 1o thirteen, milk to fourteen and twelve received eoal. Among our cases of the year eight deaths have occurred. the fumeral expenses of four being defrayed by the society. In one case the money was refunded by reiatives in Eng- land. Transportation was secured for several per- sons desiring to g0 to friends in the Easet. One case in polit was that of Mrs. Leith, who, with the kind assistance of Mrs. Frye. was' comfortably fitted out for the long jour- ney to Maine, where she will enter an Old Ladies” Home. Mention should be mads of the kindnese of Mr. McCormick. through whom reduced rates cecured and courtesies extended. ge was procured to China for Mrs. Fuller and two children, who also received an outfit of clothing, etc., the ladles of St. Luke's kindly assistin: We feel most grateful to our cians, Drs.

The Doctor's Daughters’ bed in the Little Jim ward at the Children's Hespita! has been continually n use. May dsy was celebrated as usual at the Children's Hospital and was quite a festival. The toys, ice cream and cake were much en- joyed by the affiicted little ones. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners wers provided for famflies with great liberality, and many hearts and homes were gladdensi by the good cheer provided so bountifully. Wa feel great indebtedness to Judge Humt and D-. and Mrs. Cluness for their part In so kindly asmisting on those occasions. Fruit and Flower Mission and Soc of ¢ istian Work have co-operated with most_efficiently on several occasions, and the Thursdey Morning Sewing Club and the Nee- 1 % Guild have sent in suppiles of cloth ing. By the aid of the Associated Charitiss the difficuity attending the proper distribution of our benevolences has been much lessened. Our employment bureau has bean the means of securing work for a mumber of women, ani names of applicants for employment are con- stantly beinz added.

Iately turned from an extended absence abroad As a token of affection to Miss McEwen. and in appreciation of her valued. unselfish and devoted work as president of the Doctor's Daughters, the members presented her with a writing table with silver writing set. It is gratifying to find that no charitable or- ganization in this city is more highly com- mended than the Doctor's Daughters, and that the practical charity affording prompt and ef- fictent ald to those in need. which is its aim and object, has been so widely extended and Judiclousiy exercised as to have gained the Indorsement and confidence of all. the first vice president.
