with a stock unsold at the end of the day.
The boys buy four papers for dime. max

School, and was engaged as teacher of
French, Greek and music in a college for
young women. When but 10 years of age
she turned her attention to writing for tn g
press. AT that age she wrote Christmas
story fof one OF the daily papers, for which
she was awarded the prize OF a gold
watch offered for the best contri-
button. She continued writing for
the press, contributing to THE CALL,
Bulletin, Overland Magazine, several
other San Francisco publications and to a
number of Eastern journals. She was a
pleasing writer of both prose and poetry
She was at one time private secretary to the
manager of one of the large publishing
houses, and while in that position she
demonstrated that she was possessed of
executive ability. About four years ago she
established literary bureau with view
Pacific Coast, and then she organized the
Pacific Coast Women's Press Association,
of which she was an officer up TO within a
few mouths ago. She did much to advance
the work of women, and the members of the
association have lost true friend-one who
always had their interests at heart aud who
was always ready to encourage beginners
and teach them the higher standard OF liter
airy work.
In 1889 she was married to MIR. John W.

ter, noble wife and true friend, and there
are many who will mourn her loss.

All the ladies who had friends among the
members of the Olympic Club considered
themselves very lucky maidens last night.
The rooms of the organization on O'Farrell
street were crowded with scores of pretty
girls, whose presence was due to the fact
that il was ladies' night"
The committee had prepared an unusually
attractive programme CT precisely the right
length, erected a stage and Transformed the
gymnasium into a pretty little auditorium.
The ladies, upon their arrival, were re-
ceived and slowed away in comfortable
seats by President William Greer Harrison
and Archie j. Treat, of the board of dree-
tors.
With the appearance Of the latest guest
every corner was utilized. and the orchestra
began TO play airs from Bluff King Hal"

work on the horizontal bar, under the
leadership of E. A. KoIb Professor Bog

their work neatly and creditably.
Two sharp bouts with the gloves followed
Paul faced Vicini and Cooley danced fran
tically around Macarthur. The first pair
were evenly matched. and gave and took
with justice and equity, but Macarthur
made life very rapid fer his lighter antagon-
ist and sent him off the stage breathIess
and weary.
Professor Tronchet and F. Chapins then
appeared with brace of rapiers and gave a
pretty exhibition of fencing after which
came an event which aroused all the latent
enthusiasm of the audience. It was the
trapeZe performance of Master Walter
Hogg, diminutiye specimen of humanity

plncky feats and was rapturously ap-
plauded.
President Harrison then presented the
prizes to the winners in the recent boxing
contest. commencing their physical per-
fections to the ladies present who felt dis
posed to take advantage of their leap-year
