Who's going? Well, one delegate— the newly elected State president, pre- sumably Mrs. Darling—is sure to go as delegate at large; then it will devolve upon her to select two others of like rank. Now, the Los Angeles district fells that it is entitled to one of these, while many of the San Francisco dis- trict delegates declare that, as the president will presumably come from the south (Mrs. Darling) that section will be amply represented, and that the other two delegates at large should come from north of Tehachapi.

Mr. Salz proved himself to be a piamist of rare powers, having complete command of the instrument and a fine conception of the rious composers. He was ap- plauded—and for good reason—after each number, and received an ovation at the reception held after the pro- gramme. Mr. Saiz graciously respond- ed by drinking a cup of club tea. . s Through the agency of the depart- ment of eddcation of the California Club much progress along the lines of appreciation of art values is contem- plated through the purchase of 100 fine reproductions of the world's master- pieces. These will be circulated in such schools or clubs as will pay the postage upon them and the nominal rental of a dime—which pays for the accompany- ing catalogue conveying the necessary information as to names, dates and schools of art. . The Contemporary Club at its last meeting discussed “The Religion of a Picture” under the direction of Mrs. W. A. Madden, who briefly followed the evolution of the human race through the development of art. The conception of the vast subject was elear and com- pact and was elaborated by the follow- ing numbers: Studies—Leonardo de Vincl, Mrs. C. H. Ward; Michael Angelo, Mrs. Preble; Titian, Mre. £. D. Robinson; Valasquez, Mrs. J. W. orr Mrs. H. H. Fassett concluded the afternoon with supplementary remarks, dwelling particularly upon Michael An- gelo as a man and as an artist. The first meeting in February will be held to-day, when Mrs. E. Woodruff will read a paper entitled “The Effect of Occupation on Chun.cter."

SALINAS, Feb. 7.—Further inves- tigation to discover the identity of the liferafts picked up by a steam launch in Monterey Bay was made yesterday. The rafts.were hauled up on the beach. One has the words “S. S. Queen” painted on it. The words “Capacity for sixteen persons” was stamped on exgch. The steamer Queen of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company arrived in this port yesterday from Victoria. Her captain made no report of having lost any of his liferafts, but it is thought that those picked up in the Monterey harbor probably were washed over- board from the vessel during the heavy sea that was running at the time of he® arrival there. e R . Showers in Southern California. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7.—Showers of rain fell in Los Angeles this morn- ing and dense clouds were hanging over the mountains to the north all day.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Feb. 7.—It was stated to-day by a man in close rela- tions to John D. Rockefeller that it is now well understood among intimate friends of the millionaire that he is making definite preparations to retire from the cares of business. His resig- nation from the directorate of the Steel Trust a few days ago was cited as the first significant step in the car- rying cut of this plan. The same | authority said that Rockefeller will re- sign almost immediately from a score of other directorships which he holds and that his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr., will be substituted in his place. In this connection is quoted from a letter of resignation sent to the steel bcard the following: “It has not been con- sistent for me to attend the meetings of the board. My interest in the com- pany is represented on the board by my son, and I hope the vacancy caused by my resignation can be filled to the advantage of the company by -some {one who can personally attend meet- ings.” Rockefeller's decision is said to be due primarily to a request of his wife and family, who urge him to rest, and to his consciousness of growing years and delicate health. It is said that he will make his permanent home at Po- cantico Hills, spending a greater part of his time there, where he is planning to erect a $500,000 house. The younger Rockefeller is said to be fully conversant with all his father's vast interests and will actively repre- sent them. BIG FORESTS WILL BE (1T Ameriea to Furnish Capital for Hewing the Gigantie Timber of the Philippines ey A, A. Burlingame Johnson, formerly of Denver but now a resident of Manila, where he organized the company which is building a fifty-mile electric road through that city under a special con- cession from the Philippine Commis- sioners, arrived at the Palace Hotel yesterday on his way to the islands, for which he will sail this week on' the steamer Gaelic. Mr. Johnson bears the distinction of being the first to float in this country bonds for a Philippine enterprise, New: York capitalists having invested $3,500,- 000 in the bonds of the electric raflx’oa‘l of which he is the promoter. He is r¢- turning to Manila with a number of expert millwrights, who have been en- gaged to go there and pass judgment K3 he is the head. Mr. Johnson said: One of the greatest drawbacks to progress in Manila is the high price of lumber there. We are importing large quantities from this coast and a good deal from Borneo, but the cost iz so great that the people cannot buy it and so they continue to build thatch shacks. The poorest quality of Pacific Coast lumber, lald down in Manila, costs from $15 to 380 a thousand, the necessity of lightering adding much to the expense. It probably seems strange to the outside world that the city of Manila should have to import lumber for bullding purposes, when the islands abound with for- ests. The fact is, however, the topography is s0o mountainous that it is difficult as well as expensive to log the product to mills. Our enterprise, which = is expected to furnish enough material for a mill of 200,000 feet daily capacity, devcloped out of an effort of ex-Gov- ernor Taft to encourage the lumber industry on the islands and thereby promote the interest of the latter. We wWere granted concessions under which we pay the Government stumpage and after much searching were successful in finding a place where, with the use of donkey engines and trolley cables, we will be able to get our logs out of the forests. The demanud for lumber, however, is so great that whatever supply we create will in no way diminish the export business from Pacific Coast ports, but may compete with the trade with Borneo. A Regarding the new street railroad in Manila, Johnson said its construction is being pushed as rapidly as possible. A feature of the road is the fact that first and second class cars have to be used, which makes its a bit more ex- pensive than the railroads in this coun- try. CGovernor Taft at first objected to discriminating rates, but after he had conferred with the wealthier Spanish dons of Manila who will not conde- scend to ride with peons he readily ap- preciated the need of separate cars for the two classes. Strangely, while the the poorer classes, they show no objec- tion to the poorer people riding in their cars if they pay the higher fare. ——————— Elderly Doctor Takes a Wife. SANTA ROSA, Feb. 7.—At the close of the services the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeav- or of the Baptist Church this even- ing the Rev. W. L. Gaston, the pastor of the church, united Dr. Abraham Whistler of Chico and Mrs. Sarah A. Scott of Sebastopol, in marriage. The ceremony was witnessed by the assembled Endeavorers and immedi- ately afterward the meeting adjourned to the auditorium of the church to participate in the evening service of worship. Dr. Whistler lacks but one year of being three score, and his bride is about eleven years his junior. —— Troquois Theater to Be Reopened. CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—A cohtract hag been let for refitting and redecorating the Iroquois Theater, in which 572 lives were lost on December 31. This indicates that the theater will be re- opened to the public :s a place of amusement. The cost of the repairs will be about $22,000, and the man- agement hopes to reopen the house the early spring. It is said the ::‘nmeenf the theater will be cl to the Northwest. ——————— President Harper Is Iil CHICAGO, Feb. 1.—P‘rlddl.nt Har- per of the University of Chicago is suffering.’ from attack of appendi- citis at his l_-omtfl’n this city. flfl on a big saw mill enterprise of which | dons refuse to ride in cars operated for. ' As Shrove Tuesday creeps nearer and nearer society perceptibly slackens its pace. The clubs, whose object is the creation of pleasure, have gone—or are fast going—into Lenten oblivion. And even the anmouncements of Cupid's conquests are waning jsolemnly—but wait—wait until the joyous coming of Easter, and then there will be weddings and ‘betrothals aplenty. ENGAGEMENTS. The engagement reception of Miss Sarah Hyman and Harry Englander will be held Sunday, February 14, from 2 to 5, at 1925B Filimore street. ‘WEDDINGS. Miss Annie C. Melchior and Joseph R. Boullet were united in marriage Sun- day evening, January 31, 1904, by the Rev. ‘Rufus None. Miss Marie F. Meichoir attended the bride as maid and Rene W. Boullet served the groom as best man.

James A. Smith, president of the State Council of the American Labor Union, presided. He outlined briefly the purposes of the meeting and made some stirring remarks regarding abuses of authority by high officfals. He then introduced .Charles M. Hurlbut of Den- ver, a member of the United Brother- hood of Railway Employes. His ad- dress was a direct attack upon Gpv- ernor Peabody of Colorado for his con- duct during the strike. He drew a har- rowing picture of the horrors of the bull-pen, to which he said innocent men were dragged at night with no charge against them. The military authorities never attempt to prosecute any person placed under arrest, according to the speaker, but as soon as he is released upon one charge he is immediately re- arrested on another. The employes of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company are subjected to inhuman treatment, according to reports. Forty of them are crowded into a room so small that they have barely room to stretch their limbs at night, and the food furnished is of the poorest quality, but the price is high. Arthur Lewis and Mrs. Lewis of the Federal Union followed with addresses, in which the advisability of working- men standing together was strongly emphasized. F. R. Whitney of the Street Carmen’s Uni®n introduced resolutions condemning Governor Pea- body, the military authorities, the Citi- zens’ Alliarice and the Mine Owners’ Association. Prior to the adoption of the resolu- tions a collection was taken up in be- half of the striking miners in Colorado and about $55 was realized. The meet- ing closed with a brief address by Thomas Booth ©of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. ——e—————— MYSTERY ATTACHES TO MILITARY PRISONER Extraordinary Guard About Thomas Bresnan, Private in Irons at Kan- sas City, Arouses Curlosity. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 7.—Thom- as Bresnan, a private soldier, charged with desertion is being held in a post guardhouse and the manner of his confinement is causing much specula- tion as to his real history. He is known to have given several different names. The military authorities will not discuss his case. He is heavily ironed, the shackles having been forged on his limbs at the post black- smith shop. Two guards keep watch over him in a small cell day and night. The authorities evidently con- sider him a very dangerous man. It is rumored that he deserted from the army in the Philippines and went over to the natives. it is also rumored that he is the Bresnan who escaped e oS e N ol bbbt 7 AR i from Angel Island in San Francisco Bay by having himself crated in a box and shipped out as merchandise. —————————— PROSPECTS FOR WARM WEATHER ARE DARK Weather Man Says Cold Spell Will Follow the Blizzard in the Northwest.
