THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1901, 'MERRY MILLINER AND THE REDOUBT (nvaluable Results Promised by Or- ganization. | —_— | BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. I The first convention of men and ! Women ever assembled in California to | transact public business has passed 4nto history, and the Camino Real State Association is the result of that operation The convention at Santa Barbara, the deliberations of which ended on Thurs- day, was unique in more than one par- ticular. There was not only a leveling of the sex question, but a leveling of | the sectional question. And herein lies | one af the most potential results of that co- convention by the se: Whates misgivings were enter- tained by delegates from the north, from the central coast counties and from the south were dissipated during the first greetings from the chair, which was occupied temporarily by A P. Fleming of Los Angeles, and in the meeting of delegates on the floor. Be- Beve me when I say that the love feast of a revivalist camp-meeting werc tame in comparison to the interchange | of geographical compliments. That the p compl ts must have been geograph- fcal rather than personal is simply a deduction from the fact that our ac- Quaintance of 3 few hours hardly war- ranted the protestations of undying friendship that prevailed everywhere. But here's to it! Long may this friend- Ehip live, and may it survive in the internal workings of the State associa- tion born of said love. With the ciever and tactful president, A. P. Fleming, at the helm, a successful campaign for good roads—and the Camino Real in particular—seems assured. The definite results of the delibera- tions in the old mission town were an agreement as to the practicability and utility of e proposed rehabilitation of the Camino Real, proof of the absolute | necessity of good roads to rural busi- ness ¢ asure of the desirabil- ity of Keeping to the present roadways as far as possible—for in the main they are remnan the famous old high- way—and a resolution to petition the Legislature fc ew road law, or an amen ent « existing one, where- by all the r n contemplation of dmprovement shall become uniform in construction As to the exact methods of getting at P these issues rk has been In- “will be distribited at Mission Turn Verein Hall at a future date to be agreed upon.

Those delegates—every one of them—went to Santa Barbara at the expense of his own pocket, and furthermore, paid his own hotel bills when he left. Now, does'nt it mean something that portends for good In these days of materialism, when busy men and women—the unbusy ones wouldn’t trouble themeelves—take three days of their o'erfull week to take up a work public utility—and without the allurements of mileage, either. Now, fellow clubwomen, this work was begun by a woman, Miss Anna B. Pitcher (who, by the v, was elected an honorary life member of the asso- ciation), it was agitated by a woman, Mrs. Caroline Rickey Olney (who was elected secretary of the executive committee), and it is fostered by the federation and by many Iindividual clubs Now, friends, let us as good | clubwomen and consistent Califor- nians, put our forces together and work for the su s of the great communal enterprise. Individual memt p can be ob- tained for in the Camino Real State »ciation, but it is urged that cen- tral bodies in different communities be formed, which will obtain member- ship in the State body at a pro rata tax. the rate to be determined by the executive committee at an early date. Clubwomen, get busy now and help along the work begun by a clever wo- man—and so materially assisted by clever men, to the presence for the first time men and women together on the floor of a convention, it was an inter- esting fact—a fact that throttles a time-honored belief—that it was the men—the men, remember—who did most of the talking. And if I thought the men wouldn't hear it, I would the opinion that only a few of d to the point under dis- t to mention that some of some rather stupid things— < bad as we women could have done. But at any rate they possessed the virtue of being in earnest—that's something. g S th almost sai The California Club had a vitally in- teresting session on Tuesday last, when Willilam Watt Kerr talked to the ladies upon “The Need of State Tuber- cular Sanitaria.” As the subject of in- fection of tuberculosis is no longer de- batable, the subject bears a personal relation to every one. After the lecture the subject of dis- ease was dissipated in the dulcet tones of Liszt’'s “Twelfth Hungarian Rhap- | | | | | Men on Record for Doing Most of Talking. sody,” Miss Kathryn Madden interpret. ing it. The indefatigable fun-maker— and incidental will-adjuster—William Hynes, made some ciever remarks. And he stayed to tea. He was a hero, was Mr. Hynes. B . The Daughters of the California Pioneers held their regular monthly meeting on Monday last, Mrs. Sydney Smith Palmer in the chair. The follow- ing programme was rendered in good style, the first and second numbers be- ing rare treats ir clubdom: Piano soio, Mrs. S. P. Blumenbers; reading, Mrs. W. P. Buckingham; ad- dress, Mrs. J. G. Lemon; vocal solo, Miss Elena Roeckel, accompanied by Prof. Roeckel. The programme was arranged by Mrs. H. B. Tricou. il Al The Chonian Club of Alameda is en- tering upon an active career, with a woman-who-does-things at its head, Mrs. Hattie Chapman. She is a ‘“po- litical equality” leader, but it is not be- lieved that she will interject her per- sonal views uninvited by her club, as she holds a reputation for exquisite tact. Mrs. Joseph R. Knowland has been appointed leader of the landmarks and history section of the club, and | from her intimate knowledge of and | sympathy with the work the section should make itself heard in clubdom. o Wi On Wednesday the Forum Club will elect its officers, but nothing interest- ing will occur, as there is no opposition ticket. That's distinctly dull, ladies! On Saturday, the 30th, the annual club breakfast will be given at its club- rooms. Now, these annual breakfasts are notable feasts—not only of edibles, but of thinkables and laughables as well. o kn:® The Sorosis Club has also arranged to breakfast together. On Monday next, at the St. Francis, a distinguished array of Sorosis ladies will tell a few good stories and propose a few clever toasts while they dispose of Mr. Pol- lock’s delicacies Rl e The subject under discussion at the April social of the Pacific Coast Women's Press Association at Century Hall this afternoon, will be the pro- jected magazine. Music will be fur- nished by Mrs. Lawrence of Trinity choir. Mrs. C. O. Southard will relate some experiences of a magazine edi- tor. Miss Ruth Comfort Mitchell will contribute a story; Miss Coolbrith and Mrs. Grace Hibbard, magazine verss, and Miss Gail Laughlin an informal talk. Then will come a free discussion on the subject of the magazine. Rep- resentatives of the press and all inter- ested in magazine work are invited o] be present. . President Roncovieri and Superin- tendent Langdoen, our congratulations! Long have the plembers of the social science section of the California Club, likewise the settlement workers and others of us whose business lies partly beyond our own doorsteps, known that hundreds of little tykes, boys and girls alike, were being deprived of the birth- right vouchsafed to them by the State | of a public school education. Some of them have been deprived of it through economic conditions—and for shame! For shame that children, brought into the world unsolicited, should be turned adrift in their babyhood years to pro- vide bread for their puny bodies—and for the bodies of brothers and sisters whom an unreasoning nature thrusts forth without reason or necessity! We have all known this ever since we learned to think. We also know that many children are not availing them- selves of schoolwork because of the apathy or disability of parents. In the Latin quarter this is Jargely true. Now has the | gone into the work of “compelling edu- | cation” in right good earnest, and the clubwomen, likewise all women and all humanitarians, applaud the energetic efforts of the leaders of the two arms of our educational service. On with the good work! Likewise that of cleansing the schools and rendering them more sanitary. Also the medical examina- tion of pupils. All these innovations are in the interests of physical perfec- tion, which, we all concede, must go hand in hard with mental and moral development.. .

The aflfair looked, for a time, as if serfous war might ensue, but was for- tunately ended by a series of apologies. The passengers of the vessel were, on the day prior to their entering the harbor, notified that they would be ex- pected to appear on deck at 7:45 the next morning to be examined by the United States Marine Hospital Board- ing Surgeon. At the appointed time the deck was lined by many passen- gers, eager to be examined and allowed to go ashore. One man failed to an- swer the roll. Captain A. W. Warwick of the British army was that man. Eight o'clock arrived and still no Warwick. A steward's boy was sent below to advise the Britisher of his tardiness and to ask that he report on deck as soon as possible. It is claimed that Warwick made the remark that he would not be hurried by any American and then proceeded to enjoy the luxuries of the {[nevitable tin bath. £ After completing a very prolonged toilet the tardy gentleman leisurely meandered on deck. There he was met by Dr. Hobdy, the examining doctor. An exchange of words followed, and the doctor’s arm shot out, landing a doubled fist on the jugular of the Brit- isher. Fortunately on his arising from the deck, Warwick did not rush mat- ters and the consequence was that peace was soon restored. Captain Warwick called on the Brit- ish Consul immediately upon his ar- rival at Honolulu, but that official says that the call was purely of a social character. Warwick later explained that he understood the time for the examination was after eight o'clock.

Schwab, the Pittsburg stecl magnate, has shown that there is a strong touch of human affection in his makeup. Though he is in Califor- nia for pleasure, with,an elaborate pro- gramme of sight-seeing, e is so deep- ly grieved over the serious illness of a favorite valet that a pall has fallen over his'days and his nights are full of anxiety, But for the great inconve- i nience §t would cause to others of his party there is little doubt that he would | abandon his pleasure tour during the illness of his faithful attendant. Shortly after arriving at Reno Mr. Schwab’s valet, Charles Lee, a man who had been with the millionaire for nearly ten vears, was suddenly strick- en down and had to be left behind while the party went into the Tonopah camp. On returning the valet's condition was found to be very serious, and his em- ployer ordered that he be hurried to this city for proper medical treatment. Arriving here with the party Saturday night, the unfortunate man was imme- diately sent to the Adler Sanatorium, where an operation was performed yes- terday with unsatisfactory results. In fact, Lee's life is now ebbing, a piece of nmews that was conveyed to Mr. Schwab yesterday and caused him no small amount of anxiety. He is very fond of his servant and has given or- ders that every effort be exerted to save his life. It was anxiety that prompted the millionaire to delay a trip into the Yosemite Valley, on which he was to have started to-day. It is the intention of the party to spend several days in the valley and then return to this city, where the travelers will em- bark on their homeward journey. MAGNATE SEES CITY. Mr. Schwab spent the greater part of yesterday viewing the sights of San Francisco. He returned to his tempor- ary abode at the St. Francis Hotel well pleased with his day’s outing. “You have a beautiful city and a magnificent park,” he remarked, “and there is evidence on all sides that quickly impresses a visitor with the fact that a bright future is in store for the metropolis of the West. But—" and Mr. Sshwab spoke rather hesitat- ingly—*your streets. are not- the best that I have seen during my travels.” “Mr. Schwab is of course judging your thoroughfares from an automo- bilist’'s point of view,” interposed Dr. R. M. Ward, brother-in-law of the milllonaire, who generally speaks for his relative. “The streets can indeed be improved, but aside from this bad feature we are all generally pleased with our vi and none more so than Mr. Schwab This is Millionaire Schwab's first visit to San Francisco, but it is prob- able that the: city will soon see him again, for he has valuable interests at Tonopah which are likely to bring him to the West frequently, and he expects to come as far as San Fran- cisco on these occasions. The magnate has invested a large sum in the Tonovah camp, and with Robert C. C. Hall and W. F. Corey of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, Dr. Ward, Richard Brown and others he has incornorated several companies, among them the Tonopah Extension, Golden Anchor, Bob Tail, Menyur Groun and Red Rock, upon which it is purposed to expend a great deal of money in development. LIKES IN TMENTS. Regarding these mining properties Dr. Ward "said yesterday that Mr. Schwab was well satisfied with his in- vestments, especially with the Tono- pah Extension, and was confldent that all the mines would prove dividend payers. “We made a trip over a part of the Tonopah Railroad,” which is now in course of construction,” said Dr. Ward, “and we viewed this enterprise in the light of a snlendid undertaking, that will greatly benefit Tonopah in its pres- ent isolated position. It is a country in which a railroad is needed, a fact that was readily appreciated by those who control the Tonopah Mining Com- pany and the new railroad line.” Dr. Ward denied that Mr. Schwab is interested in the newly incorporated Pacific Steel Company of San Diego, and added that aside from his desire to look over his Nevada properties his trip to this State is merely for pleasure. In the Schwab party is Joseph Schwab, father of the steel magnate: Count Mercorder of Pittsburg, a civil engineer, who has been employed by Schwab for several vears; J. C. Nevin, a yvoung mining engineer; Dr. Ward, who long ago abandoned the practice of medicine for the more lucrative pur- suit of a broker; Dr. S. A, Brown of New York, surgeon of the party; John McKane, superintendent of the Tono- pah properties and a life-long friend of the magnate, and several ladies, includ- ing Mrs. Charles M. Schwab and Mrs. ‘Ward, who have been in this city for a week awaiting the arrival from Ne- vada of the men of the party. s T | waNTs EMPLOYES TO PAY THEIR DEBTS HONOLULU, April 17.—The fol- lowing executive notice has been is- sued to the heads of all departments by Governor Carter, and if this first sharp reminder does not cause terri- torial employes to mend their ways, it is apt to be followed by summary dismissal: Complaints hi\e been made that some of the employees of the Government of the Terri- tory of Hawall fail o pay their bills due mer- chants and storekeepers for ‘the necessary upplies which they procure for themselves and their families. It is the sense of the executive that clerks who are in receipt of regular and stated sala- proper and legal obligations. Uniess factéry reasons can be assigned ure to do this.all such offende be sharply repri ed by the heads of their departments and informed that any further complaint made upon the same subject will be_followed by dismissal. The executive feels that those who fail to act honorably in_their private affairs can hardly be ed to give full and adequate eatisfaction to the Government that employs them. e —— The existence of society gepends upon the good things it has to offer its votaries; *‘Old Gilt Edge” whickey for example. Wichman, Lutgen & Co., 8, F. - for Brides and Wanderers in Plenty. Were ever the festive gownmakers happier than now? For passing nup- tials, for trips abroad or the hegira into the country or the farewell dances of the fun-loving clubs—all this means much to the gown builder. If ever before more people were pre- paring to wander abroad thus early in the season it has not fallen to me to know it. And thus it is that formal festivities are seriousiy on the wane. And nobody's seemingly sad over the defection. Engagements. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Stern of 123§ Golden Gate avenue announce the en- gagement of their daughter Sophia to Adolph Schwartz of this city. s e Mr. and Mrs. B. Getz will be pleased to receive their friends at the reception to be given in honor of the engage- ment of their daughter Sylvia to Philip Gordon Sunday afternoon, May 1, from 2 to 5 o'clock at the Dartmouth Hotel, 865 Post street. The engagement reception of Miss Eva Abrams and Jack Jacobs will be held Sunday, May 1, at 38 Grove street, from®2 to 5. ‘Weddings. On Sunday, April 17, Miss Florence Leonie Muiligan and Charles Ralph Forge were united in marriage at the beautiful home of the bride's brother, J. C. Mulligan, near Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County. Rev. Joseph Mulligan, 8. J., performed the ceremony. The wedding was witnessed only by the rel- atives of the parties. The bride, prior to the past two years, resided in San Francisco, where she has a host of friends. The groom is a well-known engineer enzaged on one of the coast steamers. The itinerary of the wed- ding trip will include a visit to the southern part of the State. . An attractive wedding took place on | Saturday afternoon, when Miss Kate Sexton, daughter of the well-known in- surance manager, William Sexton, be- came the bride of Will Wilson Gray of San Jose. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Clancy of the Dominican Church at the residence of the bride on ‘Washington street. The home was made glad with gay spring blossoms and graceful ferns, and the vows were plighted beneath a floral bower. The bride was charming in her bridal gown of white mousseline de soie, while her sister, who served as bridesmaid, wore a smart frock of white etamine. After a reception the young people left for the south to remain two weeks. On their return they will make their bome in San Jose. F— The wedding of Miss Miriam Living- ston and J. S.

One of the most delightful musicales _ of the season was given Friday night by the Viardeaux Symphonie Cercle at the Hotel Strathmore, 207 Larkin street. Miss Beatrice Maltman, musical direc or of the organization, had arran an attractive programme, and each number was enthusiastically applaud- ed. Every number showed careful prep- aration, and Miss Ray Quigley easily carried off the honors of the evening by her rendition of the slumber song, by Mattei. The young lady has a most charming personality and ~ her voice gives promise of great development. Miss Maud Francis’. contraito voice was heard to advantage in the Spanish gypsy song.

Home Parties. Miss Clara Seaton entertained the senior class of Irving Institute and many more friends at a card party Saturday afternoon, April 16, at her home, 1507 Steiner street. Miss Irene Allison, Miss Alice Baker and Miss Margaret Castle were the lucky win- ners at the game of euchre. The house was artistically decorated with the rainbow colors and many beautiful flowers. Many smart frocks were worn. The pleasures of the afternoon were added to by Miss Blanche Taber, who TRIBUTES PAID 10 BENEFACTOR Memorial Meeting in Honor of Late William G. Badger Hears Words of Praise Hloquent tributes to the memory of the late William G. Badger were spoken yesterday afternoon at meeting called in honor of the deceased philanthropist at Golden Gate Hall. The large audience included many whom Mr. Badger had aided with friendly counsel or more substantial assistance in their start on the road to success. His deep interest in young men and the unselfish devotion that had led him to give away a fortune in practical be- neficence formed the keynote of the ad- dresses. The members of Mr. Badger's family were present. The Rev. J. 8. Lee of St. James Church read the Episcopal service for the dead. Solos were beautifully ren- dered by Miss Juliette Greeninger and Mrs. Muhlner. Then William Metzner, the merchant, one of Mr. Badger's “boys,” who are glad to acknowledge their debt to him, spoke in feeling terms of his character and the value of his work for the youth ¢f San Fran- cisco, He said in part: No one who knew our friend would fail fo testify fo the nobleness of his character and the loyalty of his life—loyalty to God and country and the ideals of high=st manhood. No hoy on the streets was ever t00 poor or oo poorly dressed for a cheery word from him and a hearty clasp of the hand. There was noth- ing of the religious pharisee about him, and nothing of the society man. He cared more for the company of a few of his boys at his home than any other pleasure the world held. Thousands of his beneflciaries, the men he had inspired and helped, are scattered over the United States, and many are doing good work in foreign lands. The place for his coun- try's flagx was just below the cross. No one could be a Christian in his opinion who did mot love his country. J. H. Baker of the quartermaster’s department, U.S. A, and assistant su- perintendent of the St. Albans Sunday School, of which the decedent was the founder and for thirty-five years the superintendent, after a brief address on Mr. Badger's companionship with young men, offered the following reso- lutions which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has pleased him who doeth all things well, the Author and Ruler of our lives, to remove from our midst our friend and brother, William G. Badger; and Whereas, The intimate relations long held by our deceas:d friend and companion with the members of St. Albans Sunday-school and the Golden Links render it proper that we should place on record our high appreciation of hip services in a long official career, and to his many high qualities of mind and heart and his merits as & man; therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of William G.

The service was attended by members of varicus churches throughout the city, and it was a large and interested con- gregation that responded to the emi- nent evangelist’'s appeal for flnancial aid in rendering assistance to the poor. General Booth used for his text the words, “The angel of his presence saved them.” In part he said: ‘Scveral years ago, when the Volunteers of America were first organized, we were sub- ject to a vast amount of unkind and sarcastic criticlsm. We were criticised by the paople, by the churches and by the press. We were looked upon as mercenaries, and it was the popular opinicn that the institution would be disorganized long before now. We have worked hard and conscientiously i these few years, and I think we have won a great victory. The amount of good work we have done and the relfef we have given is more than I can tell. | “The el of his' presence saved them,' and it was the angel of his presence that has inspired us to do our utmost in this work.

HONOLULU, April 17.—Matsumoto Moritaro, a Japanese plantation la- borer, has been convicted of the mur- der of Arthur Glennan on the night of Friday, January 8. Glennan was the civil engineer in charge of the Maka- weli plantation ditch. He had aroused the enmity of a gang of Japanese gamblers that swarmed around the camps as soon as their countrymen réceived their wages.
