r. T. Devlin and j. H. Wilkins, as men,
bers of the commission to inquire into the
/ subject of penology, and report suggestions
to the Legislature, as to how the evils of
| the present laws can be remedied, and what
can be done to prevent crime, etc. The
| gentlemen named are the Prison Directors
and are in the nature of things, obliged to
! look into the matters enumerated in the
resolution, and, therefore, they have oppor
| tunities to give the subject full and careful
| consideration. The Commissioners met
| last night in one of the parlors of the
| Golden Eagle Hotel, and were sworn in
| by Hon. d. J. Murphy, Superior Judge,
now occupying the bench in place of Judge
Van Fleet. After effecting temporary

ings will probably be held once a MONTH
| either in Sacramento or San Francisco.

| first of January, and a more complete re-
port before the meeting of the next Legis-
| lature.
WoMEN's RELIEF CORPS, G. a. R.-Yes-
terday afternoon Mrs. Emma A Rice, of
Santa Cruz, Department Inspector of the
Women's Relief Corps of the Grand Army
of the Republic, paid an official visit to
Warren Relief Corps of this city. Their
hall at No. 500 J street was handsomely
decorated with flags, evergreens and floral
pieces. The windows were dressed with
lace curtains, and daIkened so that under
the gaslight the hall presented a very pleas
ing appearance, and also deceived the goat
| used in the initiatory ceremonies of the Or
der into the belief that it was night instead
of by day. A beautiful floral banner about
five feet in hight, artistically designed, stood
on a pedestal in front of the presidents
chair. At the conclusion of the inspection
and other corps business an address was
made by the Department Inspector. Mrs.
James Seadler gave recitation, Mrs. w. c.
Fitch and Mrs. Kitty Walthers sang a
couple of patriotic songs. The exercises
were concluded by bountiful supply of
choice refreshments.
