MUSEON | Collection 6f Paintings May Ultimately Represent Work of Many Local Artists ALCALDES OF LONG AGO Suggestion That Framers of the First Comstitution Should Be Recognized SERERLT e Of late there have been several ac- ceptable gifts to the museum in Golden Gate Park. David Bush recently pre- sented to the city an excellent example of the work of Norton Bush, an artist wht was well known in San Franclsco D. Phelan enriched the collection of paintings in the museum by the gift of a Parislan picture painted by Jules Pages, The canvas represents the interior of a barroom in Paris. This painting won for the artist a medal from the Paris Salon. The artist is a ornian who achieved considerable local fame before he went abroad to pur- sue his studies. Raphael Weill recently purchased from another Californian artist a painting of exceptional merit, and this pieture will be given to the museum. The Park Commissioners appreciate the spirit of generosity manifested by the donors, and express the hope that the collection paintings in the museum will, in time, embrace at least one good example of the work of every well known artist of Cali- fornia.

There be some survivors of the famous convention. Venerable dwellers in the old town of Monterey may be able to describe the social life and capitol when Botts and Duke Gwin were debating whether the eastern boundary of California should be along the Rocky ains, to embrace Salt Lake in the new State, or along the Slerra, to exclude the Saints. Pictures of men who be- longed to the first constitutional conven- tion would be highly acceptable to the Board of Park Commiseioners. In some circles the notion prevails that the museum In Golden Gate Park should be a commodious warehouse where arti- cles and collections may be stored and safely kept until the owners can obtain storage room elsewhere. The Park Com- missioners are not .avorably inclined to the *“loaning” feature. No doubt a quantity of stuff unworthy of preserva- Mou | tion already occupies space which should treated, gives | and trustees under its terms. be given to objects of actual merit. The new tendency to render the collection in- teresting to students of California his- tory will be appréciated by the public. ——————a— Dusenbery’s Will Is Filed.

DISCUSS CREDIT HONORS: SLOSS| MEN'S PROBLENS Newly Appointed Justiee of | Members of San Francisco Supreme Court Is Guest at; Association Hold Meeting Banquet by His Friends PROMINENT MEN Associates of Wish Him Success in His Latest Judicial Triumph Judge Max Sloss, the newly appointed Justice of the State Supreme Court, was the guest of honor last night at a merry banquet at the Family Club. More than 100 friends of the honored jurist gathered round the festal board, and the evening glided swiftly by In songs, music and speechmaking. Seth Mann was the toastmaster and opened up the evening’s flow of eloquence with a few appropriate remarks in which he complimented the honored jurist for being one of the first members of the Family Club. Mr. Mann was followed by the Judge himself. It was several min- utes before he could begin his reply, so great were the cheers and applause that greeted him when he arose to speak. . Judge Sloss seemed overcome by the honor thrust upon him by his fellow club- men, but he managed to find words to ex- press his gratitude toward the friends who so fittingly remembered him. He made a very appropriate little speech of thanks and remembranee and might have prolonged it had not Edward H. Hamil- ton, the dean of the club, interposed at this juncture to have his say. Hamilton held the guests' attention for several minutes With his remarks re- garding the club, the Judge “and inci- dents in general that were known and appreciated by all present. He referred to Sloss as “‘one of his children whom he had spanked onto the bench.” He wished the young jurist the best of fortune in his new field of work and the guests all joined in the cheering that followed. Judge Henry A. Melvin of Oakland re- sponded to the Superior Court in a very clever and well worded little speech. Among the others who talked were Fran- ois J. Heney and Willlam Thomas. The benediction of the evening was delivered by Porter Ashe, who came fresh from performing a like service for the Monti- cello Club. The music was furnished by the Neo- politan Quartet—Mackenzie Gordon, W. B. Hopkins, Fred S. Knight and Judge Melvin. John Jacksen, Gordon, Judge Melyin, Knight and Hopkins also re- sponded with solos. Henry Hyman fa- vored the gathering with a violin solo, J. B. Levinson furnished a flute solo and Harry Strellitz a cello solo.

Boger of Chi- cago Says Study of Science Would Aid Their Business —_— Over 100 jovial members of the Credit Men's Assoclation of San Francisco met around the banquet table of the Ocei- dental Hotel last night to make merry and to discuss some of the many and varied problems which dally bob up in the lives of those men who decide for their houses just how far other men can be trusted. The banquet and story-tell- ing lasted until a laté hour. A general discussion of the relations of the credit man to his customer occupied much of the time. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Charles F. Boger of Chicago, a physician by education and now a lecturer on scientific phrenology. Dr. Boger treated his subject from the practical side en- tirely and endeavored to show to the assembled credit men whereby they could profit by a study of the science. He was heartily applauded when he completed his lecture. Dr. Boger declared that the ordinary methods employed by so-called phrenolo- gists are practically worthless because they only entertain the bumps of the head in their deductions. He said that a study of the head is not sufficient to de- termine the mental characteristics of the man or woman. The health, body, bear- ing, walk, talk, mede of shaking hands, the eyes, nose, mouth, chin and hands are all essential to sclentific character read- ing. Five of the credit men consented to act as subjects, and using them to illustrate his lecture, Dr. Boger told of the value of every detail of a man's physical make- up and of his actions. He showed by the eyes how to tell an honest man, by the shake of the hand to find a generous one, by the lips to determine selfishness and by the nose to catch the weak. The sub- jects retained their good nature through- out the lecture, although some of the things Dr. Boger said of them could not have made them comfortable. NOTED EVANGELISTS MAY COME TO CITY Clergy and Laymen to In- vite Torrey and Alexander. It was resolved at a meeting of the Evangelistic Unfon held in the Young Men's Christian Association building Tuesday to invite Dr. Torrey and Mr. Alexander, the noted evangelists, to visit San Francisco early in the autumn.
