The | design of these’ gatherings is to in- crease the general interest in public lIi- braries by the discussion of vital topics. The first paper presented was of a historical character, by Rev. L. D. Rathbone, a trustee of the Santa Rosa | library. The growth of this library was traced from its beginning in 1869 to the present time, when it has re- ceived a $5000 building site from the | citizens, $20,000 for the building from | Andrew Carnegie and $1000 from Nel- | son Carr for the steel book stacks. Th | blue basalt stone used in the construc- | tion of the structure was presented by [ 3. M. McDonald of San Francisco. Be- sides reviewing the scope and satisfac- !!nr_\' results of the library influences, particular stress was laid by the speak- er upon the value of the work per- | formed by the librarian, Miss Bertha | Kumii. | E.M. Cox, Superintendent of Schools, {in a paper upon the value of a library ;‘(- the community showed the intimate | connection which should exist between | schools and public libraries, the aid af- | fordea to student life through wider | knowledge of history and literature | and the culture which a library brings | to a community. The practical topic of what a town can do for a library was the theme of Charles S. Greene, librarian of the Oak- land Public Library. It was stated that in the Ebell Society the Oakland li- | brary had found a constant friend. Not |only did this society raise $20,000 for | the library site and $5000 for the chil- dren’s room, but when the Teachers’ | Club wanted more books the Ebell gave | $50 upon the condition that the library | would give the same amount for such | accessions to its shelves. | State Librarian Gillis closed the dis- cussion with a presentation of the new work begun by the State Library and | the aims it had in view for the exten- | sion of the library interest throughout | California. This conference is regard- | ed as one of the most profitable ones |ever held by the library association. [ WOODLAND LIBRARY. For the construction of the Wood- |1and Carnegie building the bid of W. | H. Curson, offering to do the work for | 9628 has been accepted by the library trustees. An intimation being given through a local paper that any | applicant for the privilege of furnish- | ing the cornerstone might be gratified, | Fred Haase promptly responded with | the offer of such a gift. The donation | has been accepted with the thanks of | the library board. The grand master of, the Grand Lodge of Masons has | been asked to lay the cornerstone of | the building. The Ebell Society of Oakland is send- ing out traveling libraries to various communities. One library with eighty- one volumes has been sent to San Le- | andro, Alameda County, and placed in | a drug store for the use of the public. | Miss Juliet Lumbard, a teacher in the Berkeley schools, has been elected by the board of library trustees to the | position of children’s librarian. The | salary is to be $60 per month. | To replace the wornout carpet on the | floor of the State Library the trustees | have decided to have a polished wood | flooring laid at an expense of $1450. | A library club has recently been or- | ganized by the staff of the Stanford | University Library | discuss topics relating to library work | and to promote social feeling between __ | the different departments of the insti- | tution. There are now fifteen members in the club, which proposes to hold | monthly meetings. | Burglars seem to be seeking new fields for the exploits by invading pub- | lic libraries.

Five lectures and entertainments have been given this season in Oro- ville for the benefit of the public library. The course has netted the sum of $294. Interest in book-giving to the library recently installed in the Carnegie build- ing in Redding seems ynabated. Six lady residents of Redding have just given for public use forty volumes of standard fiction, history and literature. Oakland library are still the order of the day. Mrs. Emma Shafter Howard has added to previous gifts of pictures four fine-framed lithographs. Teachers’ Club of Alameda County has tall clock in oak for this room. The City Council of Los Angeles has concluded, after much discussion, plans for the removal of the public library to temporary quarters, to strengthen the floors of the library rooms in the City Hall. In San Diego an urgent request was made by the people of Pacific Beach for the establishment of a sub-station. The library board has agreed to the petition upon the condition that the transportation charges for the books shall be borne by the beach residents. Miss Mabel E. Prentiss, librarian of the Pomona Public Library, has asked for and received leave of absence for four months to enable her to attend a special course in reference work and billiography at the Albany, N. Y., li- brary school. 3 From Shanghai, China, word comes of the prosperity of the Shanghai li- brary, supported by the English resi- dents.

Brigade commanders are | | supposed efther personally or by staft | officer to visit each unit of their re- | spective commands at its home sta- tlon at least once In each calendar | year, and at each such visit examine |and note carefully its gemeral condi- tion and eficlency as a military or- | Banization, condition of its property jand care given to it, conditon of its | records, noting their completeness and | whether they are kept in conformity | with regulations and orders, the thor- | oughne: 3 of instruction in the drill reg- ulations and the compliance with or- ders as to the drill and instructions of |and by officers and non-commissioned | officers. | The orders also provide that the regi- mental commanders shall require their field officers to visit the companies in | their respective commands at least | once each quarter for purposes of in- | spection and instruction; also that | commanders of battalions, independent | or serving in regiments, shall hold bat- | talion drills at least once every quar- |ter and that at such drills company | | commanders be given opportunity to | drill the battalion. NO TRAVELING EXPENSES. | A question has arisen as to how o latter part of the orders can be car- ried out. In a city like San Francisco there will be no difficulty in getting | the men together, but outside of the | city, where the companies of the bat- talions are separated by many miles, | the battalion commanders are at a| loss to know how to get the units of | their respective commands together, in | view of the fact that in the order ng provision is made for transportation. Regimental and independent battal- ion commanders have been instructed to organize officers’ and non-commis- sioned officers’ schools and to hold ses- sions at least once every quarter. Where a regiment is not concentrated | its commander is to organize such schools as he shall find most practi- cable, but in such manner as to give | all officers and non#commissioned offi- cers complete instruction. At such | schools particular instruction is to be | given in military courte keeping of records, care of property, rendering re- ports and the forms of military cor- respondence. When practicable a sur- geon is to be in attendance to give instructions in first aid, sanitation of | armories and camps and proper cloth- ing for and care of thé person during a march or campaign: PRACTICE MARCHES. Brigade, regimental and independent | battalion'’ commanders are advised to | have at least two practice marches and bivouacs each year by company, regi- ment or brigade, and at such time to | give instructions in extended orders | on varied ground, estimating distances, | marching in the order prescribed; ad- vance and rear formations and in pitching and striking tents. But offi- cers are considering how they will ac- complish this where the units are not concentrated, as the brigade, regimen- | | tal and independent battalion com- | manders are not provided with funds for transportation. The four batteries—Company A, Oak- | |land, and Company D, San Rafael, of | i the Fifth Infantry—or more properly | | & detail of the best shooters from each unit, had an experimental shoot |the range of Company D, near San Rafael, last Sunday, with satisfactory results, It was the first time that members of the guard used the Krag- Jorgensen in rifie practice and, all | things being considered, the scores were good. It took the men a little | | time to become accustomed to the new | arm and understand the pulling of the | trigger, and in the outset some of the men, who with Springfields never miss- |ed the bullseye, were unable to find the targets, but, -acquiring more fa- | miliarity, they made creditable scores. | This experiment was in a great mea- | sure the result of the efforts of Major | Smith of the Fifth Infantry and Cap- | tain Grattan of the artillery to bring | target practice to the fore. The shoot- ing, at 300 and 500 yards, was under the | @irection of Lieutenant S. O. Beasley | as range officer, and the manner in | which he discharged his duties proved | him to be eminently qualified for the | position. .

The suit for damages threatened by the women of the California Women's Press ..ssociation who were expelled last November materialized yesterday. Mrs. Marion B. Foster filed a suit for $100,000 damagesagainst sixteen mem- bers of the association, claiming that her retirement from the association last November was the result of a con- spiracy formed by the defendants. She says they lied about her, gossiped about her and trumped up some kind of charge against her, which she was not given the privilege of refuting. She says their every action was ac- tuated by jealousy and envy. Sam- uel L. Foster, husband of Mrs. Fos- ter, is associated with her as plaintiff. The defendan:s in the suit are Mrs. Henry Krebs, Mrs. H. Pinney, Mrs. E. J. Foster, Mrs. W. F. Southard, Mrs. W. C. Morrow, Mrs. G. Kibbe, Mrs. H. P. Sexion, Mrs. Charles New- man, Ina D.

The husbands of the married women among the de- fendants are also named as defend- ants. —_——— Bogans in Court Again. Once again are the Bogans, Mary and Patrick, in court. Mrs. Bogan yesterday filed a suit for $50 a month separate support against her hus- band, Patrick, claiming that though} he earns 4 a day at Mare Island and has a pension of $14 a month from the United States Government, he does not | provide for her. She asks for $50 a b month. Bogan has acquired fame through his attempts to secure a di- vorce from the plaintiff in the present action. On three different occasions he commenced divorce proceedings, and each attempt ended in failure, Bogan failing to prove his right to a* yesterday. | ing THE CALL Business Office.

The Mo- idesto District has not yet appointed a | committee, but Hazen says that his | committee will meet the local com- | mittee, even if Modesto does not. | Hazen says further: “We do not feel that we are committing ourselves in | advance to propositions that have not been made and which may not be | made, but we simply wish to show our | willingness to meet a sister municipal- |ity for a friendly discussion of mat- | ters affecting our respective interests.” —_——— ‘When doctors disagree, drink Gilt Edge whis- key and let them fight it out.
