With anecdote and portrait of the many famous sub- jects of his skill, Mr. Davenport whiled away a most entertaining two hours. Admiral Dewey, Willlam Glad- stone,” Mark Hanna and Sam Rainey were among Mr. Davenport’s portrait gallery, each sketched with laughable life-likenesses, three or four times life size, and in a period of not longer than three minutes. The artist’s sto- ries, delivered in a droll drawl, and most quaintly told, are all good, those about bird-life, in which he is deeply interested, being full of a charming pathos and humor. There will be an- other lecture to-morrow afternoon at Lyric Hall, and it can be warmly rec- ommended to every class of hearers. —_———— Log Cabin! “The bread with a flavor.” Ask your dealer—wholesale—900 Dolores st. * ———— Hangs Himself to Bedpost.

The following members of the commit- | tee were present: A. Sbarboro, chair- man, representing the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association; George W. McNear, treasurer, representing the Merchants' Exchange; Rufus P. Jen- nings, executive officer, representing| | the San Francisco Chamber of Com- merce; A. A. Watkins, representing the | | San Francisco Board of Trade, and | Fred J. Koster, representing the Mer- chants’ Association. An important an- | nouncement of the meeting was the| third excursion of the committee. This | excursion will begin on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 6, with a short | stop the following morning at San| | Pedro to visit the harbor and other improvements there. From San Pedro the party will visit San Diego, and re- turning will take in all of the principal cities on the way to San Francisco, in- cluding Coronado, Santa Ana, River- | side, Redlands, Pasadena, Los Angeles, | santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Paso | Robles, Salinas, Watsonville, Santa | Cruz, Hollister, San Jose, Los Gatos, | Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Redwood City | and San Mateo, arriving in San Fran- cisco the afternoon of the Sunday. The entire trip will occasion an ab-| sence of but two days and a half from | business. A special train has been en- gaged. The excursion will be made up | following rior. | The committee has already had two one through the Sacra-| mento Valley and one through the San Joaquin. These excursions have con- tributed greatly to the work of the; committee, and at all points stopped at the usual California hospitality has been enjoyed, and many cities are mak- ing preparations to entertain the vis-| itors in an elaborate manner. The report of the executive officer for February was submitted, giving in| brief some of the activities of the State. The report was in part as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29, 1904.

This, together with the breaking up of big ranches, makes two most important factors in the settling up of the in- terlor. It is gratifying to note that the committee is\n receipt of large numbers of letters from people who have come to the State and ex- press themselves as thoroughly satisfled with their eurroundings. These people prove the best advertisers that California can have and are the means of bringing their friends here also. The correspondence bf the committee shows a decided increase In February over previous months: 1960 letters were recelved and 4312 | sent out; 84,848 pleces of literature were dis- tributed.

WONDERFUL CURE OF SORE HANDS By Cuticura After the Most Awful Suffering Ever Experienced. EICHT DOCTORS And Many Remedies Failed to dé a Cent’s Worth of Good. *‘ About five years ago I was troubled with soré hands, so sore that when I ‘would put them in water the pain wounld very nearly set me crazy, the skin wonld peel off and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flow- ing from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never tell the suf- fering I endured for three years. 1 tried everything that I was told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do me any good, as my hands were as bad whean I got through doctoring as when Ifirst began. I also tried many reme- dles, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of good. I was discour- aged and heart-sore. I would feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think 1 had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, and I often felt like giv- ing up my position. Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every finger up separately, so as to,try and keep them soft and then | wear gloves over the rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves in bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all the time. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of all great skin cures. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a 50c. box of Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer- ings. It's been two years since I used any and I don’t know what sore hands are now, aod never lost a day’s work while using Cusicura Ointment.” THOMAS A. CLANCY, 310 N. Montgomery St., Trenton, K.

One of the most delightful of the Mi-Careme functions was the luncheon given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Charles Goodall at her home on McAl- lister street and at which the guests of honor were Miss Agnes Murphy and | Miss Aimee Moore of London and Mrs, Colcleugh of Canada. The guests were received in the lower drawing-room. It was gay with a profusion of violets effectively massed in every nook and cranny. In the dining-room were num- bers of fairy lamps, crimson candles burned in silver sticks and the table itself was strapped with narrow satin bands. Between these stood crystal stands filled with slender daffodils, these lovely messengers of spring being repeated on the specially designed guest cards of perfumed orange wood. Smart toasts were offered by Mrs. C. H. Evans and Mrs. Henry Payot, and by Miss Agnes Murphy, who responded cleverly on behalf of Mrs. Coleleugh, Miss Moore and herself—and right clev- er raconteurs the speakers proved themselves. Later there were recita- tions by Miss Aimee Moore and Miss Schroth. Other guests were Mrs. Heb- bard, Mrs. Thomas Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Levin T. Jones, Mrs. Frederick Munzer, Mrs. John Sabin, Mrs. D. L. Farns- worth, Mrs. C. H. Evans, Miss Lottie Farnsworth, Mrs. Van Duzer, Mrs. Homer Fritch, Mrs. Litchfield, Mrs. Frederick Fredericks, Mrs. Henry Payot and her daughter, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Young, Miss M. A. Schroth, Mrs. E. Partridge, Mrs. Hazelhurst, Mrs. Ernest Simpson, Mrs. J. W. Storror, Mrs. Byron Mauzy and Mrs. Harring- ton. . A Mi-Careme ball, as every one knows, is a function that parts Lent in the middle. With the Mardi Gras to .start off with and Easter at the other end the Mi-Careme is a life raft by which those of the swim manage to reach shore at Easter. And it's usuaily a pretty thoroughly decorated raft, with more or less—usually less—water aboard and about and a more or less— usually more—gay crew of mariners. And the Mi-Careme at Burlingame. last night was not a notable exception. ‘With Mgs. Francis J.
