Spanish class, Hermandez. free to members, Professor o The Sorosis Club has established the commendable custom of evening enter- tainments, where the men-folk are bid- den to enter the precincts of tea and talk. Last week the club was ad- dressed by General C. A. Woodruff on “The Probabilities of Future War."” If the general is &s good a warrior as he is a reconteur he would be a regi- ment all by himself. The speaker, being essentially a military man, assumed the position of all militants, that war does not bru- talize a people, nor individuals, but es- { tablishes a discipline over each that be- comes a factor for good government. Of course, many of the ladies didn't share the general's views, but their enjoyment of the talk was thorough. Mrs. J. E. Birmingham sang one of Massenet's pretty lyries in her usual splendid style, . The clever “Cap and Bells,” Mrs. S. P. Buckinghain president, will hold its | monthly meeting on Thursday at the new home of Mrs. Squire Varich Moon- { ey, 2010 Broadway. In this baby member of clubdom is | a vast amount of talent—musical, the- atrical, literary—and some clever re conteurs. Some good “Cap and Bells” stories have wandered beyond the con fines of the club, by the way, but “of course men can’'t keep anything, you know say the women who related the stories to their husbands. But fortun- ately they're repeatable stories. Here- with is the programme to be rendered, which is under the direction of Mrs. S. P.

IR Wednesday the Mills Club, Mrs. McGauley president, attended day exercises at Mills programmes. On James the founders’ College en masse, where the members | Mrs. Mills at were entertained by luncheon. The Mills Alumnae Association held its annual meeting in the aftermoon, at which $5000 was raised as a contribu- tion toward the endowment fund. Like- wise was $500 subscribed toward a scholarship to be known as the Mary Upton scholarship. These tributes of love to their alma mater were, in truth, a pleasant tribute to Mrs, college. The pledges of eternal friendship ex- | changed during the last lingering hours of college life were full of the hopeful- ness of youth. The Association of Pioneer Women of California held its monthly business meeting at its quarters in Golden Gate Mills, the vigilant head of the | Hall on Friday. Pleasant weather and the announcement that the meeting would be one of special interest brought out the ladies in full force. Five new members were added to the list of membership. The association was addressed by Mrs. Frederick Col- burn, who told what San Fraucisco Is | doing at the St. Louis exposition and | incidentally suggested that a donation |of bear flags would be acceptable to | the committee on display. Mrs. Bald- /win of the California Club sought the | co-operation of the Pioneer Women in | behalf of the outdoor flower market. ey S | Ths Irving Club led the club functions of the week when on Thursday it ten- dered a reception at Elks' Hall to the | senior class of Irving Institute. It was | distinctly a smart affair, the fair maids | of the graduating class wearing pretty white frocks. Dr. Stewart delivered a lecture on “Modern Music,” which was “charmmgly illustrated by Miss Leila C. Stone, Miss Florence Darby, Mrs. Ben- jamin Apple, Miss Viola H. Samter and | Miss Camille Frank. o | The Corona Club election of officers for the ensuing year has taken place, | with the following result: President, Mrs. Robert Wallace; first vice presi- dent, Mrs. Charles Ham; second vice resident, Mrs. J. D. Jessup; corre- ponding secretary, Miss Van Bergen; recording secretary, Mrs. Will Dalton; treasurer, Miss Laura Collins; directors —Mrs. E. C. Denniston, Mrs. H. L. Sea- | ger, Mrs. Ruthrauff, Mrs. E. L. Beltret and Mrs. E. D. Treadwell. The club’s annual breakfast will take place on | May 12, when a feast of wit and good fellowship will launch the new officers on their officlal careers. May 3, 1904, the Country Club met at | the home of Mrs. Walmsley, in Irving- ton. The subject for the day was par- liamentary law and Scottish literature, and the papers read on James Thomp- son, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott were listened to with interest. The sub- ject of parliamenta: law was touched upon briefly, after which the members | were entertained with musical selec- | tions. The club adjourned to meet the | first Tuesday in June at the home of Miss Bertha Whipple, in Centerville. S S On Wednesday afternoon the mem- bers of the Forum Club were uniquely | entertained by Miss Mabel Ayer, State | president of the Sunshine Society, who | presented to her audience a group—or | troupe—of trained butterflies. Now the | ladies had all heard of trained canaries | and canines and even of trained tab- I by cats, but butterflies were new. The | things they did in response to the sug- gestion—at the point of a pin—of Miss | Ayer wére intensely interesting. One of thel remarkable facts about them | was their resolute refusal to remain in the hand or on the gown of a nervous '(»l' restless woman. Many of us sympa- | thize with the butterfiies. Next Wednesday Miss Agnes Mur- phy, the charming London journalist, will talk to the club. Miss Murphy has | won quite a reputation in local club- { dom as a wit. The lecture will be fol- | lowed by a short musical programme. PN R The Pioneer Daughters will hold their monthl¥ meeting to-day in the parlors of the Pioneer Hall, the meet- | ing to be addressed by Almarin B. Paul, a pioneer whose career has been | identified with mining interests since '49. He will talk upon the good old days of '48 and '49. The Soclety of Pioneers and the officers and directors of the Pioneer Women and the Pioneer Wo- man’s Auxiliary are cordially invited to attend. Monday, May 16, at 3 o'clock, a musical and literary pro- | gramme will be rendered. Miss Eli D. Keith, the historian of the society, will speak on “El Camino Real,” the restoration of the King's highway. utios| * il ulius | s el R its mem- | MOTHERS ARE CIVILIZING INFURIATED WOMAN FIRES at its clubrooms, POWER, SAYS MR.

Pastor of First Presbyterian Church Gives Advice as to Ideal’ for Youths' Study. “The Nineteenth Century Apostle— Rev. Mr. Rainsford, D. D.” was the subject of a sermon by the Rev. Wil- liam Kirk Guthrie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, last night. But one part of the subject was discussed and next Sunday night the second part will be given. The early career and boyhood days of the eminent divine were treated, which gave the reverend gentleman the opportunity to extol those mothers whose teachings and lives have been the power and influence on so many great and renowned men of the world, among them Dr. Rainsford. The Rev. Mr. Guthrie holds that a mother can do more than any other in civilizing the world and he strongly urged that every mother should teach her sons the grandeur and the beau- ties of the world, thereby helping them to appreciate the wonders of na- ture which must have its effect in later life. —_———— Real Estate Sale a Success.

Many peo- ple came from San Jose. The bidding was guite spirited, as was anticipated, as this property is of the most desir- able class. There were over 100 lots sold, averaging $400 a lot. On account of the limited time in which they had to sell they could not finish their cata- dogue, and the unsold lots, all of which are equally as desirable as the ones sold, will be offered at private sale on the same terms. ——— e Bear Club Elects Officers.

The report of three shots in rapid succession at Ellis and Mason streets |attracted the attention of Sergeant | Shaw and Policeman Hayden between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning. | They discovered that the shots were ;flred by Mrs. Ella Beatty, a middle- | aged woman, from the window of her | room in the Cliffora House. | Mrs. Beatty, who had been drinking, | was placed under arrest for discharg- |ing firearms within the city limits. She told the police that her husband, James Beatty, had beaten her and | when he ran out to the street she fired | the shots over his head to scare him. The officers could not find Beatty, but | they found a revolver with three | empty cartridges in Mrs. Beatty's | room. She was released on $20 cash | bail. | PR C O S Ty T | THIEF PLAYS SLICK TRICK ON PROMINENT FIRM Orders Suit Sent to His Rooms and Skips Out Back Door While Messenger Waits., An artful robber played a slick trick on a prominent clothing house on Kearny street last Saturday, whereby | the store is out a $20 suit of clothes. A dapper looking man called at the store and selected a suit, which he asked to be sent to the Cosmos lodg- ing-house, 15 Eddy street, and get payment there. The suit was duly sent and the rascally thief was wait- ing there to receive it. He told the messenger to wait a rhoment in the front room, while he stepped into the next room to try the suit on. - That was the last seen of the suit or the thief. + After waiting half an hour for the thief to appear the messenger raised a howl, but that was all the good it did him. The proprietor of the lodging-house states that on Sat- urday a well dressed man rented the two rooms from him, paying in ad- vance. He did not know the man, nor did he remember the name he gave. —_—————— Pedestrians Given Fright. Trickish boys created considerable excitement at the corner of Market and Powell streets shortly after § o’'clock last night, and in a few mo- ments a crowd of several thousand pedestrians had gathered- to inquire who had been killed. The youngsters had placed a cartridge on the track, and as‘a McAllister-street car ex- ploded it a rush was made for the spot. At first it was stated that some ;»el“gerenhs had had an encounter, but t was merely a trick of the boys and no damage was done beyond giving a few passers-by a fright. —_—— Malta is {he most thickly populated island in the world.

At Hazard's Pavilion mass-meetings in the morning, afternoon and evening were attended by as many as could find seats or standing room. It was, in fact, a great day for Methbdism in Los An- geles, and residents as well as visitors took advantage of the occasion to hear speakers whose names are household i words in the Methodist denomination. At the First Methodist Church, Los Angeles, the Rev. Dr. George P. Eck- man, pastor-of St. Paul's Church, New York, who has been frequently men- tioned as a candidate for Bishopric hon- ors, spoke in the morning to a fashion- able congregation, which included, be- sides many prominent local residents, scores of visiting churchmen. In the evening at the same place Dr. Frank M. Bristol, pastor of Metropolitan Church, Washington, D. C., preached to an audience that filled to overflow- ing the house of worship. Hundreds were unable to gain admittance. PELEGATES AT SERVICE. At the. First Methodist Episcopal Church, Pasadena, one of the most beautiful churches in Southern Califor- nia, Dr. J. R. Leonard spoke at the mroning service and the Rev. Dr. Jesse Bowman Young of Walnut Hill Church, Cincinnati, at the evening service. Scores of delegates were in attendance at both services. At the First Presbyterian Church the Rev. D. W. C. Huntington and the Rev. Dr. Levi Gilbert were the speakers at the morning and evening services, respectively. AtEmmanuel Presbyterian Church the Rev. Dr. E. M. Mills of El- . Y., preached in the morning, and the Rev. Dr. Ezra S. Tipple in the evening. The Rev. Dr. Matt S. Hughes, an eloquent young minister from St Louis, spoke to a large congregation at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church this morning, and the Rev. Dr. M. W. Dorgan at the evening service. Bishop Willard F. Mallalieu, a noted evangelist in the Methodist church, had an immense audience at West Lake Methodist Episcopal Church in the morning, while Bishop Isaac W. Joyce preached a powerful sermon to a great audience at the East Hollywood Meth- odist Episcopal Church. At Riverside, the Rev. Dr. J. D. But- ler; at Bakersfield, Dr. J. M. Leonar at San Diego, the Rev. Dr. J, W. Bashford of Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity; at Santa Barbara, the Rev. Dr, E. J. Lockwood, and at Pomona, the Rev. Dr. W. B. Kelley, editor of the Methodist Review, spoke to great crowds. To every town in Southern California, in fact, the committee on pulpit supply sent out visiting minis- ters, and from every place come reports to-night of much religious enthusiasm. ADDRESSES BY PRELATE. Bishop C. C. McCabe, the noted evangelistic preacher of the Methodist denomination, addressed two large meetings, the first at the South Pasa- dena Church in the morning, and in the evening at Blanchard’s Hall in this city. A great crowd assembled to hear brief talks by half a dozen of the prominent visiting ministers, including Bishops Foss and Waldron. The meet- ing was much in the form of a revival service. One of the sensations of the confer- ence, which, however. did not reach the public until to-day, has been the circu- lation of copies of a pamphlet issued by Evangelist Manhall of the Bible League, which is construed to mean the opening of the contest against the higher criticism. The pamphlet con- tains strongz references to Dr. James M. Buckley, editor of the New York Advocate, who acted as counsel for Professor Bowne in the recent church trial. It was intimated to-day that the circulating of this pamphlet upon the floor of the conference is likely to be a subject of criticism in open confer- ence to-morrow and may result in a rule prohibiting the circulation of un- authorized documents on the floor of the conference in the future. tions to be dec¢ided by this conference will come up for consideration and ac- tion during the present week. It is be- lieved that the question of consolidat- ing the various book concerns into one central publishing house will be re- ported by the book concern during the present week. The episcopacy commit- tee, which is the only committee that meets in executive session, will proba- bly come to a decision in the matter of retiring and increasing the number of Bishops. e e L Dies During Religions Service. ‘While attending the services of the First Church of Christ in Steinway Hall, 223 Sutter street, yesterday morning Mrs. Mary E. Burrows, a married woman 24 years of age, ex- pired suddenly. The Morgue was no- tified and the body was allowed to be taken to an undertaker’s parlors. The deceased was subject to epileptic fits. She lived at 1820 McAllister street. ————————— LIVERYMAN ACCUSED OF ROBBING PATRON Accomplice Confesses, Implicating Two Others, and All Are Arrested. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 8.—Robert S.

Veary, two of the most prom- inent and wealtiLy business men of that place, is in jail at Gonzales. He is pros- trated with a nervous attack and his condition is said to be critical. He has suffered two strokes of apoplexy within the past year, and it is feared that he is bordering on another attack, which his physicians say will likely prove fatal. He has made no statement as to the cause leading to the double trag- edy. The funerajs of the murdered men took place to- at Luling and were largely attended.
