Anthony for a place in the Hall of Fame. To what “Hall of Fame”? ¥orwarded where and 80 whkom? 1f the “Hall of Fame” in Washington s meant, then the procedure should emanate from Miss Anthony’s native State to its Legislature, which would, it favorably impressed, appropriate funds for the carrying out of the project. Thén the Congressmen and Senators from her State would have to be peti- d to place her image in the niche ide for said State. If the “Hall of Fame” of the State of New York is meant, that's another story, and the Legislature of New York is the body to be resolutionized. But wouldn't it be a bit indelicate for a State so remote as California to in- trude her advice and recommerdations in the matter? New York probably knows her own business best. The thought in the affair, however, is worthy and commendable, but its in- definiteness suggests the absence of Mary Fairbrother, parliamentarian and untangled thinker. The following communication is warded by the Doctor’s Daughters: “The Doctor's Daughters take pleasure in announcing that the net receipts from the play, ‘The Merchant of Venice’ given for their benefit on December 1§ and 19 by Richard Hotaling and a com- pany of amateur players, were $6100. “At the annual meeting of the society the following officers and directors were eleoted to serve during the vear 1906: Miss Suzanne McEwen, president; Mis: Jennie Blair, first vice president; Mrs. J. Stow Ballard, second vice president; Miss Jean Poilok, recording secretary; Mrs. Robert MeCreery, assistant recording secretary; Mrs, George B.

Brown, secreta “If laughter makes the heart grow young, surely “Corona’ ladies lost several years from their age on March 8, when the club indulged in a “humorous after- noon.” The three papers, “The Missioni of Humor,” by Mrs. W. A. Johnston; “The Humor of Mark Twain,”~ by Mrs. J. B, Sykes, and “Some Instances of Eng- lish Humor,” by Mrs. Matthew McCurrie, were sparkling with wit and humor and kept the members and their guests in a ripple of merriment. A recitation, “Tele- graph Hill,” Wallace Irwin, given by Mrs. George H. Fairchild in appropriate costume, was exceedingly funny. Also laughable anecdotes, given by members, added considerably to the mirth of the !‘ occasion. The music rendered was Romances,” Clara Schumann, for violin and piano, by Miss Laura Taylor and | Mrs. Inman, and vocal solos by Miss | Crane and Robert Saxe. *‘On March 22 Corona Club had “A Homo | Day” and the papers all treated of some phase of home life. ““The Ideal Home," by Mrs, E.

The mu- sl for the afternoon consisted of several vocal solos. “The Return” (Millard), by Mrs. H. E.

With Angry Words When “Coaster” Pulls Out ———0-‘-'-—‘:.— When They Return: They Find That It Has Suddenly Awakened and Left City Forty mad, swearing, perspiring passen- | gers of the Southern Pacific ran riot in the peaceful little city of Santa Barbara yesterday and caused a usually quiet Sun- day to blush and hang its head over the mutterings and curses raised against the engineer and conductor of the *Coaster,” who had pulled out the train and left Finally, after several hours of anxious waiting, they were placed on board an- other train and hurried along to San Francisco as fast as a soft roadbed and a slippery track would allow. In the meantime the personal effects of these forty passengers, left flung careless. ly about the seats of the “Coaster, bowled along merrily to San Francisco with their train. Arriving here at 7:45 o'clock last night, they looked around anxfously for their owners, and then, real- izing that they had been unwihingly aban- doned, they hurried away to a storage- room, walting for their angry masters to come and claint them. The marooning at Santa Barbara was all caused by the washing out of a littie thirty-foot bridge just north of the city- by-the-sea. The *‘Coaster” arrived at the station only a few hours late, a landslide having previously occurred to enforce a delay. The'trainload of passengers were delighted at their progress through the rdin and looked forward to the passing of quick hours for the rest of their jour- ney. \ Then came the sad news from ahead. The bridge was down and they must wait an hour or two for repairs to it. Not a passenger whimpered at this. Little de- lays might be expected. But the two hours wore into four, and into eight, and then to sixteen. The pas- sengers no longer smiled. To thelr every question the trainmen always politely an- swered, “We will be out soon now; don't stray away.” TRAIN GOES TO SLEEP. Twenty hours passed and no sign of go- ing ahead. The engine ahead wheezed lazily. The engineer settled back com- fortably in his cab and opened a copious lunch bag. The train porter snuggled down in a parlor chair and went to sleep. Everything about the seven long black cars was indicative of perpetual sleep. Forty passengers watched with interest the sleeping train. THey were train tired. What was the use of gitting in the stuffy cars when there was a nice city wafting to receive them? “Besides, ‘there are saloons in Santa Barbata and ;the call of hot drinks was a tugger at the hearts of the ‘truant forty, mest of whom were men. They looked once more at the train. The engineer, was fast asleep. So was the conduetor.. The porter snored. That set- tled it. due to stay for an- @ther t in those stuffy cars.

Wi SROUL'of Joy they made for downtown, there to enjoy the air and the scenery and the hot drinks. They were gone five minutes, quite out of hearing distance. Then came the quick change. > ‘With a suddenness that was startling the engineer awoke. Two sharp blasts on the whistle roused the conductor and blended with the porters’ snore. There was quick exchanging of orders at the telegraph office, a hurried “All aboard” and the long train was off. The forty truants wandered on bliss- fully. They paddled in the mud, drank down the fresh sea air and sipped de- licious concoctions. Then back to their sleeping train. LEFT STRANDED ON PLATFORM. Presto! ” It was gone. The telegraph agent said it had left fifty minutes be- They were stranded on the station platform. . The forty stormed and swore and cursed the company and declared future venge- ance. But the telegraph operator only sighed and said that he was sorry, but that the company's trains must move. Later in the day the forty passengers were placed on board another S8an Fran- cisco bound train. They arrived in San Francisco last night none the worse for their marooning. All of the inbound trains on all of the raflroads were very late last night on account of the high waters following the heavy rains throughout the State. . The “Coaster” was stopped by two washouts and a sliding bank. It arrived in San Francisco twenty-eight hours late. A number of yesterday's trains have not vet arrived. They will be a day or more late. The Santa Fe line is also experi- encing trouble with the waters. The Southern Pacific was able to get its trains through around Benicia last night. The Portland liné is open. PERSONAL W. H. Routledge of Tonopah, a mining man, is at the Lick. A.' T. Ainsworth, a manufacturer of Galt, is at the Lick. George K.
