Flint there was a meeting Saturday of the elective officers of the Grand ILodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California in the office of the grand sceretary for the purpose of taking ac- regard to the site of the Ma- Temple at Montgomery and Post tion i streets. For some time before the shake there was a disposition on the part of the fraternity to dispose of this prop- erty, it being held at $1,000,000, and to ct a more modern structure on ne other site. The matter was fully discussed Sat- and it was decided to sell the the minimum price being $750,000. The condition of affairs in Santa Rosa was considered and $25,000 was d ted for the purpose of rebuild- the temple in that city, it being omplete ruin. There was a strong manifestation that the session of the Grand Lodge ORPAE"M DPENS Good Fun of the Old Brand Is Dispensed Once More. Theater Is—i°acked at Both Day and Night Performances. When the tale of San Francisco's reconstruction is narrated to posterity the reopening of the Chutes will be alluded to as an event of twofold sig- |nificance. For it meant something | |more than primal resumption of the {city’s theatrical life. It was the first |opportunity afforded for the pleasur- |able foregathering of a people who | had undergone experience as unpleas- |ant and undeserved as ever befell civil- ' lized community. Therefore. to the [power that revived the Chutes as a public playground the conscientious historian must award double credit. | It is conservatively estimated that no less than 20,000 survivors partici- pated in the convincing demonstration | of the city’s unimpaired sociability and love of amusement. More than one- third of that number passed the turn- | stiles during the afternoon, and in ithe evening the place was packed aly jmost to discomfort.

Yorke was the cen- tral figure in the gathering, and out- lined its objects. He moved many of his auditors as he drew a vivid pic- ture of the past and of the future. e He said in part: “The object of the organization of the Irish socleties is to determine what is best for the people of our race. The people are sorely distressed since the desolation. but they have come out of it whole and hale and with hands ready to work. No other ]nntlonallty suffered 80 much as the | Irish.

The Women's Clubs—social and literary —of San Francisco have decided to meet at members’ homes during the summer and to aid in the reconstruction of the city by sewing for the women and chil- dren who lost thelr clothing in the fire. Usually there is vacation during the summer months, but man{ soclety and club women wiil remain In San Fran- cisco this summer and the fashionable di- version will be “sewing bees.” The Forum Club will meet with its resident, Mrs. Fredericks, and will sew for the Cross.

Ex-Relatives and the Trio Are Locked Up in Jail. i Three men were arrested yesterday | morning for creating & disturbance in | the neighborhood of Willard and Ful- ton streets.

The Isson brothers were locked up for disturbing the | peace. Streilen formerly enjoyed the rela- | tionship of the Isson ~brothers as brothers-in-law, but the divorce of his lswife canceled that connection.

Captain Finch of the liner Coptic, now on the way home from the Orient, was a heavy loser in the fire of April 18. In- trinsically there were many greater lcsses, but in no case were the intimate personal treasures of one man's gather- ing so completely wiped out. Captain Finch has been salling in and out of this port for many years. He commanded the Cunard liner Belgic un- til she was ordered to England. He took her home and came out again to be master of the Gaelic. When the Gaelic was ordered home Captain Finch was transferred to the Coptic. During_all his service on the Pacific Captain Finch and his wife lived at the Occidental Hotel. The Coptic has been ordered to England and Captain Finch was prepared on his return to this port to bid goodby San ncisco, send his wife to England and join her there later when he reached Liverpool with the Coptic.

They must be cared for and guarded from the pitfalls and snares that are laild for them. “The aged men and women who have had their little swept away must be sheltered in their declining years. There Is a great problem of setting up our people in business. I believe we should estab- lish a revolving fund to put them on their feeet.

We are the most stricken ahd helpless people and our appeal will be heard in every land. Our people in Ireland are not rich, but it is known the poor are always the most gener- ous to the poor.” Father Yorke predicted that a finer and a better San Francisco will be bullt than that which existed before. Father Yorke said be felt sure a large sum could be raised, and was loudly applauded when he said he would go on thé road and speak for | the purpose of raising funds. His plan for the distribution was to have all the money placed in the hands of a committee of three well-known men not prominently identified with any } Irish soclety. They would disburse the money upon the order of an advis- ory committee of seven or hine men who are {dentified with Irish societies. The money would thus be expended honestly and wisely. Upon motion of T. J. Mellott. the meeting approved of the plan out- lined by Father Yorke. It was de- clded that each society meet and vote on the action taken yesterday. They weré also requested to send one dele- gate each, where they are not now represented, to a meetting to be held in the same hall next Sunday. | | { | PR S Tired of Keeping Boy, .

Several Custom-house brokers and members of the Pacific Commercial Museum complain of what tey con- ity on the part of G. Levy, Vice Con- sul for Mexico at this port. They say that while consuls representing other nations have made certain abatements in their fees since the great fire, Mr. Levy, probably without the sanction of Consul Dr. P. Ornelas, his superior officer, has refused to follow their ex- ;:.mple and exacts all that the law al- ows. Arrested for Stealing. Alexander Durkman is under ar- rest at the Stanyan-street station. It is alleged that he stole a large quantity of stores from the military supply depot, which he placed in the basement of 724 Ninth avenue, Richmond District. They in- cluded a coffee boller, cases of canned goods, hams, bacon, sacks of potatoes and other articles. It is said that it was Durkman’s intention to start a restaurant in the basement of the house. All the articles were seized and taken in a wagon to the property clerk’s office at the Lowell High School. —_—— Had Copper and Other Loot. August Engelhardt and Frank Snow- den were arrested yesterday morning by Policemen Alpers and Doran on Pa- cific street, near Hyde, and taken to police headquarters. They each had a wagon load of copper and other loot, which they had taken from the ruins in that neighborhood. The loot was confiscated and they were sent to the Stanyan-street police station and their names entered on the detinue book, pending further Investigation. —_— Iron Dealers to Organlize.

The members of the Mission Improve- ment Association held an enthusiastic meeting on Friday night in Rolph’s Hall, Twenty-fifth and Guerrero ' streets, at which many questions of interest to the district were discussed. One of the important reports made by a committee was that the officials of the United Railroads had promised to erect ornamental poles on Valencia street in keeping with those which, it is expected, will be erected on Market street. A new angle to the problem of provid- ing facilities for cooking indoors was presented by A. B. re.

MARYSVILLE, Cal, May 20.—The can- ning plant of the Sutter Preserving Com- pany in Yuba City was destroyed by fire this evening, entailing a loss of $15,000, partly covered by insurance. The gh.nt | was leased a few weeks ago to the J. K. Armsby Company and was to have a big run this season. The cannery was built three vears ago and handled both fruit| and vegetables, making longer runs than other local plants. It employed 300 women and girle dur- ing the canning season. The cause of the fire is supposed to have originated from a campfire lighted by a tramp. The Sac- ramento-Oroville local train was held for a_while cn account of the flames be- ing close to the tracks. The warehouses next to the cannery were saved by tear- ing away a portion of the building. Besides that of the cannery the great- est loss will probably result to the | fruit growers who were to have compe- tition in botlr dried and green fruit through the advent of the Armsby Com- ipany.

On Thursday, the day after the disaster, Charles Morrison Egbat sold three hundred copies Im Oakland; while, notwithstanding the terrible effects of the disaster in Palo Alto, Vernon Malcolm sold two hum- dred and fifty coples there on Friday and Saturday. Many of the other plucky, energetic young agents who sell THE POST throughout California did almost as well. We have tried to get in touch with all of our boys, and have done every- thing possible to assist in giving them a fresh start. Many of them, how- ever, are scattered and will not again clle their agencies. This means that there are places for a lot of other bright boys who have not heretofors sold THE POST, and we want to ap~ point a lot of them right away. q To any boy who will try the plan we will send ten copies of next week’s issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST en- tirely without charge, to be sold at five cents each. This will pro- vide capital with which to start business and to order for subse- quent weeks at wholesale price.

ROME, May 20.—Madam Camille Theimir, a widely read Austrian auth- oress and magazine writer, and an ar- dent advocate of woman suffrage, re- cently obtained an audience with the Pope to interview him on questions af- fecting her sex. The Pope received her very graciously in his private - :Ln:y. and In answer to her questions “I approve the movement started in Austria for bettering the social condi- tions of women as long’as it does not conflict with Christian morality. We all must work. I can assure.you that I do much work myself. Why, then, should not women work also? They should study, and become, if they can, lawyers and doctors—especially doc- tors, as there is a at fleld for them among women and children.” Pius X. firmly drew the line on poli- | ties, “as enough mistakes are made in i that line of work by men.” After Severe Illness than a few distinguished passengers, | many of whom, on leaving the ship, pre- | sented the skipper with some little token | for remembrance.

Captain Finch was also something of a collector on his own account and as years went by he ac- quired a valuable pile of Orlental art work, including rare china, Japanese prints, ivorfes and the numerous other forms in which the artists of the Far East express their ideas, All of these treasures were stored in the Occidental Hotel awaiting the day when the Finchs would return to Eng: land and there install their Oriental col lection in a home of their own. When Captain Finch arrives here he! will find that the big fire made a clean sweep of his treasures e=d that his years of collecting have gone for naught.
