From the present outlook, it would seem that Mrs. Orr, who has led many strong reform movements as chairman of the department of education in the club, and is considered one of the clev- | | erest speakers and parliamentarians in the State, and a good disciplinar- fan (which, by the way, is essential to & successful presiding officer of 2 wom- an’s club) has somewhat the better of it, though Mrs. Cotton, through her years of patient and tireless devotion { to the club, has won many warm ad- | herents, ’ But what do you think has happened now?

But this club been on the ragged edge of inde- n for months, having in mind the seion of the Sorosis Club. The reasons offered have carried no sorrow nor grudges against the good | old federation, only that the club has no tales to tell of what it has done in the way of work when the District Federation meets in this city and neces- sarily feels a little foolish. The Forum is essentially a social and |a mildly cultural club, and naturally hasn’'t much to say when it comes to an annual report—hence its defection. Honolulu is fast coming to the front |as a club center. Our own Professor | Mary Roberts Smith is visiting the | islands, and on March 4 talked to ths Club in the Y. M.

The Schuman Club. will contribute to the programme. Miss Hoag, the clever lit- tle monologist, will read and Mr. Hir- schel-Stein will sing. Mrs. Pinney's regime has been an interesting session, although a few rifts in the lute have been heard to sound discordantly. But, all in all, the club meetings have been full of delight and congeniality—as they should be. The Oro del Puerta Chapter, D. A. | R., held one of the most interesting sessions of the club year when it con- vened last week at the home of Mrs. G. W. Beaver, 1300 Taylor street, (o listen to an illustrated talk upon the storic landmarks of California by nator Joseph R. Knowland. As president of the California His- toric Landmarks League Senator Knowland has identified himself with the history of the State in which the league is vitally interested and has be- come a recognized authority upon ‘the subject, having visited and taken pho- tographs of nearly every historie spot or building in California. The members 1experh>nced surprise at the work of restoration already accompiished at the Mission San Antonio ‘de Padua, below Kings City, Monterey County, wheic the walls were rebuilt during the fall and one-third of the roof replaced, the rains then causing suspension of the work until spring. The walls were carefully protected by sheathing, the doors of the famous old sanctuary Ibnnrded up. in which condition they I will remain until the rains are over, when active work will be resumed. Senator Knowland spoke feelingly of the intense interest of the Indians round about the Mission. whose an- cestors lie buried in the shadowy church yard, and who love it with a Jove almost unknown to us of another ace. r‘l‘he members of the chapter were greatly interested in the speaker’s pho- 164 hs of the various missions—but particularly in that of San Antonio be- l | brought hi; fore the restoration began, and later with the work in progress. MR 80 we are to hear the rapturous Griggs once more in thé West. Not that he himself is rapturous, but he makes every woman who hears him go into extravagant rhapsodical ecstacies. Of course you remember when he was at Stanford, Anna B. Shaw, with fine scrimination, discovered him and pro- ciaimed him to all the world as the ideal man. Now what would you ex- pect*but that he would be deluged with perfumed invitatioms to address sem- inaries, clubs, bun-worries and other semi-intellectual assemblages, besides Jeing bombarded when in public with eyes, goggles, and even by the dainty lorgnette whenever he ventured abroad. He was written about, talked about and squinted at until he fled— and fled to Chicago. But he apparently | has forgotten and is coming out here next season to face the admiring multi- ude and to address the clubs upon his favorite topics—men, women and chil- dren—and the talks are sure to be feasts intellectual. . . The Irving Club, Mrs. C. J. Bauer president, will hold its second March meeting on Thursday next, when Mrs. N. P. Cole Jr. will serve as chairman of the day. The absence in China of Mrs. Seaton Tuttle is greatly felt in the club, she having founded the or- ganization and nurtured it vigilantly until it is now a virile factor in club life. . The Duchess of Marlborough Is a | mocd clubwoman, belonging to five or- ganizations in London. But the Eng- lish clubs go in more for congeniality | and comfort than do most of our clubs, partaking of all the luxuries of men's clubrooms—not excluding the smoking- recom and cafe, where a very circum- spect butler dispenses brandy and soda, shandygaff—whatever that may be—or even the wholly innocent quaff of rural milk. These clubhouses are sald to be wholly delightful in their domestic re- lation and dispense much hospitality to travelers that bring their passports with them. ——m CITY OFFICIALS RE CRITICIZED Reverend F. M. Larkin Show How Minors Are Allowed to Purchase Intoxicants SRS s e The Reverend Dr. Francis M. Lar- kin delivered a sermon last evening at Grace M. E. Church, which was i1- lustrative of the amount of corruption and vice pxarvlsegl on the part of poli- tfcians conducting the affairs of a large city. Dr. Larkin used for the subject of his remarks, “A Police Official.” Be- ginning with a Roman officer, over nineteen centuries ago, he gradually remarks to more modern showing in every instance that inclination to dishonesty In part he said: In Rome an officer, more than nineteen cen- turies ago, prayed to God and said: ‘‘Oh, how can 1 elf from my environ- ments so it is go-day. A politician that may have intended at the beginning to do what was right and honest, is surrounded on all sides by mercenary dishonesty, and it not long before he, too, is corrupt and s cf a law to the effect that ting shall not - be given to s that law carried out, or is even ever made on the part of the po- that it is carried out? No, -and what is worse. in somé cases the officiais are inclined to ehield rather than expose these atrocities. The other day I saw a small girl standing on @ street corner. She was intoxi- cated, and when I.approached her to talk to her, a flask of whisky fell from her pocket as she ran away Not long ago, if you will remember, a cer- tain restaurant was found to be selling liquors without having a license to do so. What was the result? The proprietor was told top selling the intoxicants for seven days, he place does the same flourishing business ax before. Itds not the policemen that are to blame for failing to make these arrests, for I would he safe in saying that they are not asked to en- force the Jaw. hen Roosevelt was first made a Police Commissioner in New York he was told by a friend that he could not enforce the law, and that the acceptance of the position was his ruination. Roosevelt answered, however, that as long as he was in office the law shotld be enforced. It was, but there are few like Mr. Roosevelt At the conclusion of the sermon, Robert Husband, organist of Grace Church, gave a special musical service. AT CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, the Noted angelist, Occupies the Pulpit. ‘ampbell Morgan, the noted evan- gelist, occupied the pulpit at the First Congregational Church last evening and delivered a forceful sermon. This is the first visit of the successor of the late Dwight L. Moody, and in conse- quence every available seat in the large auditorium was fiiled. Rev. Morgan is conducting a series of gospel services, and preached his first sermon Saturday. He is a man of much magnetism and eloquence, and took for his ‘text last night the parable of the fig tree—St. Luke, chapter 13, verses 6 to 9—in which he pointed out the ap- plication of the parable to the life of man. Rev. Mr. Morgan will speak at the First Congregational Church every night this week, Saturday excepted. ——————— PERSONAL. Dr. J. H. Stolper of New York is at the Palace. X W.

'he meeting was opened avith prayer in Gaelic by P. J. Hagerty, after which encouraging reports were received from all the sub-committees. A communica- tion was received from Rev. P. J.

It is earnestly hoped that Michael Davitt, the Irish author and orator, will be present at the evening exer- cises and deliver an address.

Williams, a longshoreman, complained to Policeman Hutchings yesterday morning that a woman had stclen his purse containing $55 in gold while he was asleep in a room at the Royal Eagle Hotel, 23 Turk streat. Hutchings went to the place and ar- rested Maggie Leslie on charges of grand larceny and vagrancy. When searched Williams' purse, with a $20 gold piece in it, was found on her and Hutchings got from the landlady 3§15 in gold, which Maggie had given her to keep for her.

Irish | UILDING OF EASTER ARRAY Monotony of Penitential Season Varied by a few Weddings, Some Card Parties and Occasional Club Dances. ‘What's doing in society? Why, abso- lutely nothing deliberately planned save a few weddings, a card party or two and the occasfonal dance of a club brave enough to venture forth with its declaration for fun. But madame has no time for aught than an occasional tea or card party, for the -builder of Easter frocks and the comtractor for millinery have need of their time for plans and specifications. But ’tis said madame makes time for bridge and 500, as they help to settle the score with the commercial artists—but that can't be true! Engagements. Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Schwab an- nounce the engagement of their daugh- ter Carrie to Henry Harris of Oakland. e Mrs. E. Fleisher announces ‘the en- gagement of her daughter Fannie to Lewis Moses. Mrs. S. Sweet announces the engage- ment of her daughter Mabel to Dr. Julius Baer. At home Sunday, March 20, and Friday, March 25, at 2764 Pine street. : Weddings. One of the prettiest of home wed- dings jook place at 8 o'clock Thursday eveni at Alta ‘Mira ,villa, Sausalito, er, Mrs. E. A. Trefethen, when Miss Donna Bloomfield Felter became the wifé of Lieutenant Henry Todd Powell. The ceiling and walls of the home were hidden from view by garlands of greens, flowers and ferns, flags from the U. 8. S. Thetis being in the center of the ceiling .over the flower-laden tables in the dining-room. The Rev. Mr. Venables of the Church of the Ad- vent, San Francisco, performed the cer- emony. A part of the decorations of the house were in white and green | flags, long sprays of asparagus ferns and snowy white blossoms. Miss Felter wore a gown of white crepe de chine | and chiffon, a long veil and carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley. Miss Ethel McCormick, the mald of honor, wore white point d'esprit over white | siilk and carried a shower bouquet of asparagus fern. Lieutenant H. Rex Searles of the Thetis acted as best man, and Clement and Maxwell Johnson, sons of Lieutenant Johnson, as ribbon- bearers. After the ceremony an elab- | orate supper was served and the health of the happy pair pledged a score of times. After the honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Powell will go to Port Townsend, | where Mr. Powell is stationed in charge of the U. S. 8. Arcata. Miss Felter is one of Sausalito’s prettiest girls and | has been at school in Los Angeles. Mr. | Powell comes from Maryland and has {Iwen in the revenue cutter service for | some years. One of the most pleasant | incidents of the pretty affair was the unexpected arrival from New Jersey of Bloomfleld is a practicing lawyer of the | city of New York, whose home is in Elizabeth, N. J. He is a representative | of the prominent Bloomfield family DISCREDITTALE OF MRS, STORCK | Was Badly Treated at the California General Hospital Captain of Detectives Martin places no credence in the tale told by Mrs. Ray Storck of 2005 Mission street that she was inhumanly treated while an inmate of the California Gen- eral Hospital at Douglass and Nine- teenth streets. In a statement made to Deputy District Attorney Louis Ward early yesterday morning in the belief that she was dying, Mrs. Storck again recited the story of the cruel treatment to which she had been sub- jected and it does not differ materially from the account published in The Call. Dr. Thomas I. Janes, who has been the medical adviser of Mrs. Storck for some time and upon whose advice she was taken to the hospital, declares emphatically that there is absolutely no truth in her allegation that she wag bound hand and foot and placed in the basement of the hospital. Dr. Junes said yesterday: 1 firat met Mrs. Storck two years ago, when 1 treated her for exopthalmic goitre, —Her condition at that time was serious and 1 held ut no hope of her recovery. She went to In- diana, but returned and again came under my observation about the first of this year. At that time she was suffering greatly and I told Mrs. Sweet, her mother, that she would not en days. “v(e'plor:‘ ,..,3' dvice she was removed to the Mount Zion Hospital, and after six weeks at that institution showed marked Improvement. Upon her return home she complained of her treatment there, but I know that she received the best of care. On, March 6, owing to.her precarious condition, I ordered her removal 0 the California General Hospital and she was taken there In an ambulance. If she showed no Improvement an the following morning. I in- tended to perform an overation as a last re- sort. She was suffering excruciating pain and was out of her head. That night Miss Hoffman, the matron, advised me over the phone that Mrs. Storck was in a dying condi- tion. She was miffering greatly and her screams kept the other datients in.the ward awake. 1 advised ber removal to a private room, which I believe was done. Her tempera- ture on that night was 106 and her pulse 185, which would account for a temporary mental aberration, On the following morning I found that she was so much improved that the ope- ration was not necessary. On Thursday her brother took her home and Thursday night they called me. At that time they sald nothing about cruel. treatment: 1 know that she was treated nicely and kindly and there is no foun- dation for her statement. I saw her again to-day and Mrs..Sweet denled the stories that have been published. ————————— CLASS OF SEVENTEEN CONFIRMED AT ST. PAUL'S A class of seventeen was confirmad at St. Paul's Episcopal Church yester- day morning by the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of the diocese. The candidates were prepared by the pastor, Rev. W. M. Reilly, who felt gratified at being able to present so large a_ class. After the ceremony ‘Bishop Nichols made a brief address to those just admitted to the communion of the church, in which he spoke ot the importance of the step they hal just taken and advised them to lve honest, Christian lives. Bishop Nichols also preached the sermon at tMe morn- ing service, urging upon his hearers the necessity of true penitence and suggesting the Lenten season as a most favorable time to look back upon the past and look forward -to eternity.
