Two years ago Chief Constructor | Nittorio Cuniberti of the Italian navy | cutlined the plans for a battleship | possessing the speed of the swiftest cruisers and with a battery mnd armor excelling all battleships hitherto built. Its dimensions were €215 feet in length, 82 feet breadth end displacing 17,000 tons on a mean araught of 27 feet 81 inches: turrets mnd belt armor of 12 inches thickness, end the armament to be fomnosed of | twelve 12-inch guns, disposed off in airs in fore and aft turrets on the ine of keel, and one turret on each broadside, while four were to be slaced singly in as many turrets. The ocation of these guns was simple and effective, but there is some reasonable @oubt about attaining a speed of 24 knots with the present types of mo- tive power. The largest battleships wet built are those of the King Ed- ward VII class, which have armor Delts .of 9 inches, turrets 12 inches, carry batteries of four 12-inch, four ®.2-inch and ten 6-inch guns, and cal- tulated to have a speed of 18.5 knots. Lewis Nixon, ex-president of the de- funct United States Shipbuilding Com- pany, is said to have gone to Russia to build vessels for the Russian navy. Mr. Nixon's success in that line was mot great in this country, owing, prob- ®bly, to the fact that a combination of shipbuflding, politics and Wall street financiering do not work well together. He has Jeft three unfinished contracts ‘with the United States navy and a de- sand for $25,000 has been made by the Mexican Government for his failure to bulld two gunboats of the required con- tract speed. « The ®t { with social pastime. of fiimy white chiffon and lace.

The large audience at Turn Hall, 353 Turk street, last evening fairly reveled in the melody and song lore of the fatherland. Tt was the occa- sion of a concert given by the singing section of the San Francisca Turn Verein and there was music rich and sonorous. Soon after 8 o'clock the orchestra began the programme with an over- ture under the leadership of L. von der Mehden and this was followed by the grand chorus, “An Mein Vater- land.” Then came “Ich Liebe Dich” (I Love You"), as expressive, musical and tender as the topic should be in any tongue. “Die Senns’ Abschied” (*The Reapers’ Farewell”) was a splendid harvest chorus. Then came the bass solo by Dan Frank. A double number, “Das Kirchlein” and “Das Freie Mutterherz,” by the Oakland singers were follow by ‘“Schwabische Klange” by the Schwaben Gesang Verein. “Waldesrauschen” was inter- estingly rendered by the San Francisco Zither Club, and “Sangerfahrt” by the Hessen sisters. Others numbers were: “Der Jager Matador,” “Heimkehr," m Wald” and “Am Altar der Wahrheit,” a cello solo by L. von der Mehden Jr.,, and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” After the musical entertainment dancing was engaged in by the audience present till a late hour. e — Will Entertain Labor Delegates, Extensive preparations are being made by the several organized labor bodies in San Francisco for the en- tertainment of the delegates coming to this city next November belonging to the American Federation of Labor. The sum of $10,000 has already been assured by the volunteer assessment of 15 per cent per capita of all members affiliated with the Labor and Building Trades councils. Should this sum be inadequate for the proper entertain- ment of the 600 delegates more will be forthcoming when the time arrives. The committee of arrangements has mapped out a partial programme for ite Eastern coworkers in a trip around the bay, a run down to San Jose, with a stop over in Oakland for a whote day; a banquet and theater parties, with a steamer trip to Vallejo, weather and time permitting. —_———— Sent to the Wrong Room.

Fellow citizens, how many of you are aware that ‘n our busy burg is an organization known as the Pioneer ‘Women of California, that numbers among .its members women who “struck camp” in San Francisco be- fore '63 and who forthwith became citizens by setting up tents on the sand dunes on Market street—not too far from the water front on Mont- gomery street, lest the b'ars ’'d get ’em—and who have stood at the helm of the city’s growth since those wild, tumultuous days? Lured by the lust for gold, moral degenerates from the world’s ends had found their way to San Franciscd, en route to the diggings; gamblers, cut- throats and.paroled.criminals flocked to the town for a respite from the mines when they’'d made their pile. Dance halls lined the streets and alleys and bacchanalian' orgies filled the air by day and by night. It was these things that brought the vigil- ance committee of 3000 respectable men into existence—that the com- munity be purged of the parasites, that the women and children might breathe a cleaner air and be free to wander abroad without fear. This was the atmosphere that these pioneer women helped to cleanse. Standing side by side with their men- folk—whom the whole world honers to-day as the pioneers of California— they organized churches, schools and relief societies and by their earnest ministrations brought out of chaos the elements of a civilized commu- nity. Hardship? Well, we women of the present day would call them by a harsher term. Just ask a few of those white-haired women next Saturday— the annual celebration of their organ- ization—how they managed to wash, cook and scrub the children’s faces out of a single bucket of water per day. bought from the water-cart man each day as the donkey trudged along from house to house. i At the same time ask them how they had to create styles—purely local —in conformity with the amount of dry goods on hand—before the ship was sighted from Telegraph Hill. Ask them how they had to nurse the sick and minister to the dying—in this faraway land of the West. And how they put good cheer into the hearts of their men-folk—as women wiil, even thouzh their own hearts were longing for home and “the folks”; for conditions were hard for the men of those days, even as they were for the women. Why is not honor due these women, who stocd side by side avith the men? Why have we waited the coming of a new century to give honor to these women—no less brave, no less~valua- ble to the communal development than the men—the pioneers of California— whom the whole world honors? Then here’s to the Pioneer Women: Long may they live, and may their heroisms be sung in song and story. On Saturday, September 27, these white-haired heroines, daintily bon- neted and pompadoured and gowned debonair and chatty, will held a re- ception in Golden Gate Hall, between 2 and 5 o'clock, when the following pro- gramme will be presented: Address by the president. Mrs. Anna E.|Special from Mrs. C. “Il Trovatore, accompanied b MclInty fnstrumental _soio, Thompson; orison scene from Eric and _Elizabeth Davis, Mme, Roeckel Alps,” Carl Reif Perkins; ; address by Senator George recitation, Mrs. George Crittenden; ur Morganthal, accompanied by Mr. instrumental 'solo, Mrs. : “Early days in Callfornia,” Mrs : song, Miss Viola Van Orden, ac by Miss Emily Van Orden; recita tion, comedy monclogue, Miss Mildred Lud- lum: instrumental solos, T Love Thee," “Spring Song,” Miss Hilda Kozminski; song by the audience, “Days of '49.” Let it be noted that none of them is gouty, that they are chipper and light of heart and of foot and get down to their monthly meetings as speedily as they stepped into the first bob-tailed horse cars that ran in San Francisco— away back in the 70's. Cagd e companie The Year Book of the California Club is now in course of compilation, and the members are earnestly urged to send their addresses, if different from that of last year, to the treasurer, Mrs. Swain, or the financial secretary, Miss Susanne Patch, 1521 Clay street The California Club women are now gathering up the threads of last year's activities, and it would seem that the year will open auspiciously, with Mrs. Aylett R. Cotton in the chair. For so large a club, and with so many members of strong personalities, with very definite ideas upon the issues of the day, the amalgamation is really an_achievement. It certainly speaks well for the clubable qualities of women, which have for so long fur- nished copy for the humorist. But it is no idle jest that the club is rubbing off the rough edge from feminine personalities—a fact that make women better companions at the fireside, for they are acquiring toler- ance of the opinions of others, control of tongue and temper—at least, so the men say, whose. wives have joined a club or two—and the ability of getting “the other woman’s view,” all of which are constructive agencies toward de- velopment. But ladies, have we vet grown accus- tonied to thinking logically? Try it when your club resumes activities. Try it when the next opportunity arises for legislation, and when you.are casting your vote ask yourself whether the rea- son for that yea or nay is for the good of the club or because of some personal grudge or favoritism. Cs e On Friday night the Woman’s Auxil- fary of the British and American Un- ion was tendered a reception at Stein- way Hall by the main body, when a de- lightful evening was spent, welding to- gether the friendships of the Britishers, who have learned to love the Stars and Stripes by living under them. Dr. F. ‘W. d'Evelyn, the president of the union, welcomed the guests, and the following contributed to the programme: Miss Veaco, Mrs. Walter Longbothom, Rob- iert Campbell, Charles Hildersley, J. F. Veaco, Master James Trevetheck and Master and Miss Dougherty. . Mrs. George Alexander "Wright of Alameda, president of the auxiliary, rallied a band of pretty maids about her and served the wez:ts w.lth r.eflenhmenu. “Little Italy” is to have the ministra- tions of more good women—and, heaven knows, there is need for it! Up on Tele- graph Hill, where the Rooseveltian the- ory has never penetrated and where bu- bies thrive in the alleys like weeds in a plowed-fleld, a new force is at work to bring help to the little ones—they and their Madonna-eyéd mothers. Not that they have asked it—oh, no! They are blissfully happy, these children of And that bucketful had to be | ey | | | | i | PHILIPPINE DAY [STAY IN PORT A BIG EVENT] WILL BE BRIEF Money Kings Visit World's | Flagship New York, the Ben- Fair and Learn Something| nington and Marblehead of Possessions in Far East| Are All Due Here To-Day SECRETARY TAFT THERE | SOON TO START SOUTH I A Dog-Eating TIgorrotes and Savage Moros Take See- ond Place as Attractions —_— BY PAUL EDWARDS. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD- ING, WORLD'S FAIR, St. Louis, Aug. 21.—Philippine day was one of the big- gest events at the fair and the dos- eating Igorrotes, the savage Moros and the midgets weren’t on top of the foot- lights. As a counter attraction, for this day onlv, the presence of Admiral Dewey, Secretary of War Taft, Lieu- tenant General Merritt, Generals Funs- ton, King, Chaffee and other notables | was advertised. As a consequence, men who cut a figure In the financial and commercial world—men who build rail- roads and lay out.cities and develop a country’s resources—visited the reser- vation. Of all the galaxy of notables adver- tised only Secretary of War Taft and Genetal Merritt appeared, but the men of money and commercial standing, who had been attracted by the an- nouncement of the list of distinguished | visitors, didn’t allow the absence of a few of the notables to prevent them going through the exhibit buildings and viewing the wonderful evidences of rich resources there displayed. They were surprised, and still more so when they met some of the cultured Filipinos, who were present as the higher class representatives of their country. These business men had never believed there was anything to see in the Philippine exhibit but a lot of bam- boo corrals containing stupid looking savages feasting on dogmeat, and they had never cared to witness the eating of dog, as they lived either at respec- table clubs or comfortable homes, and could scarce’'y bear the sight of hu- man beings devouring such food.

Stoll’s Case on Judge Cook’s Calendar This Morning to Be Reset CHARGED WITH MURDER Supreme Court Holds That Error Was Committed in Instructions to Aecquit The case of Dr. Benjamin F. Stoll, charged with murder, will be called in Judge Cook’s court this morning to be set for trial. The Judge has in- been away from here for months and, |structed the clerk of his court to noti- fy each of the jurors who tried the case before to appear in court so that they can be impaneled to retry it. Dr. Stoll is a member of the firm of Decker & Stoll, dentists, Phelan building. Dr. Robert J. Blake was also connected with the firm. There had been trouble between Stoll and Blake regarding patients and it came to violence,on the afternoon of Oc= tober 16, 1902. Stoll shot Blake, who died three days later. Stoll was held to answer and was tried before a jury in Judge Cook's 1903. The de- fense set up a plea of self defense and after hearing the testimony the Judge instructed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal and Stoll was discharged from custody. District Attorney Byington flled an appeal on the ground that the Judge erred In instructing the jury to ac- quit. The Supreme Court recently sustained the appeal and ordered a new trial. The remittitur was re- ceived by Judge Cook on July 25 and the case is on the calendar for this morning to be set. As the Judge takes the ground that the same jurors shall retry the case it is expected that they will render another verdict of acquittal.
