What the SInartast Woman of New Yol
Did at Their FirsS Meeting

What the SfnArtsst EOlnsn of New York
Did at Their First Meeting.
New York's Sorosis, arrayed in purple
and fine linen, held the first meeting of
the season last week, says the New York
World
1T met in the gold and white ball room
OF the Waldorf
It was the beginning of the twenty
seventh year of oorosis's existence, and
in honor of the occasion mora prominent
women than usual were present Ac-
cording to its usual custom Sorosis
lunched at l o'clock. after which every
one welcomed every one else back to
town. Then Mrs. William Tod Helmuth,
president formally opened the meeting.
Mrs. -Helmuth has just returned from an
extended European trip and looked par
ticularly we'll il a charming tailor made
French gown.
Tie meeting was in charge of the COM
mittee on philanthropy, and many dis
tlnguished guests were present. as well
as members of the society. Perhaps the
most interesting and interested guest
present was Mrs. Nicambe, president of
the Sorosis in Bombay, India. She wore
her native costume, with shawl closely
wrapped about her head, and oc-
cupied seat of honor on the
platform. Beatrice Harraden was

is a retiring little woman, she was pre-
vailed upon to walk up the aisle and
! make bow before the ladies of Sorosis
! The other distinguished guests were
! Mrs. DR.. Newland. said to be the only
woman miner in California; Mrs. Dr. II.
/ G. Hong htor, president of the Female
| Guardian society of New York; Mrs
n. Coe Stewart, president of Sor0sis of
Cleveland; Mrs. Baldwin, Emma Will
lard's niece; Mrs. William NJ. Rice, vice
president of the Drawing Room club of
/ Texas; Mrs. Fiske of the Wellesley
| Woman's club. and Mrs. Yardley, presi-
dent of the New Jersey State Federation
| of Woman's clubs
| The chairman Of the committee on
philanthropy, Julian Floyd Smith, spoke
! TO Sorosis in behalf of Its philanthropic
! fund. She referred to it as a mere in
/ FAINT in size and urged each SOrosis mem =
Der to aid in its growth. The question
for discussion was "Resolved, That small
| charities defeat the ends of true philan-
thropy." No one better qualified to speak
! on the subject could have been chosen
than the one who opened yesterdays dis
cussion-Mrs Josephine Shaw Lowell. She
said she preferred to change the question
to "Charities defeat the end of true
| charity" Mrs Lowell made clear to
her hearers the difference between chart
ties and charity. To be connected with
| charities does not necessarily mean to
have charity in ones heart, she said, and
vet Mrs. Lowell believes in organized
charity. 1t does not mean to dispense
/ with human sympathy, but to make it
deeper and more true. She also believes
in all educational charities and in actual
gifts of money from individual to indi-
vlduaI where the case of the recipient is
intelligently known to the giver. Mrs
| Lowell believes in the charity that raises
an employees wages rather than that
which bestows gifts when needed.

were two sets of claws and two heads
and two tails, and the drollest thing
was that the heads were set right above
the tails. Such a scarf was not pleasing
to the beholder. Stole scarfs made like
Ievcrs and collar are quite as fashion
able and much handsomer. They can be
worn with almost anything. A cape of
Hudson bay sable was very full around
and had a sort of fringe made of tails,

two short tufts curl outward. Lace and

Theodore Timm's Hearing Con-
tinued Until Tuesday
THE SALOON MAN GETS TIME
He Wants His Case Heard in the
Courts First
nished With Long List OF Those Who iAs
Kept Open Last Sunday

Colonel Freeman G. Teed looked very
much disguised as he called the board of
police com missioners together in special
session shortly after O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. There was full board pres
ent, Commissioner Cook coming in how
ever trihe late.
Colonel iced had with Commissio Aers
Long, Wifsohing and Barham held a
little private meeting in Teed's Office be-
fore the regular meeting was called to
order. 1t developed there that Theodore
Timm, the San Fernando street saloon
keeper accused of violating the Sunday
closing ordinance, and whose license was
to be revoked because OF his offense,
wanted postponement OF the hearing OF
the case until after the courts had first
acted upon his case. The acting mayor
had strongly objected to con tinuance OF
the matter which he said looked to him
like farce. He did not want fish made
OF one and fowl OF the other. The saloon
men had all been warned of the conse-
quences in case they broke the law and
he old not SEQ what bearing the court
case against Timms had upon his case
before the board of police comm issioners.
! The secret meeting broke up without any
definite conclusion having been arrived
at and then came the open session.
Timm's attorney pleaded for time un-
til after the police courts had decided
whether or not his client was guilty.
Colonel Teed was not IN favor of post
poning the hearing. Com missoners
Barham and Wirshing and Long were in
favor of postponement, while commits
sioner Cook sawed wood. Timm wanted
two weeks time in which to prepare his
case, but TO this not one of the board
would consent. His attorney was then
| willing to compromise upon ten days,
but again the board gave to the accused
| the marble neart. A compromise was
| finally arrived at in the matter being
laid over until next Tuesday morning
when the board meets in regular weekly
| session. Timm will be before Police
! Justice Mo rrison today to plead to the
criminal charge of violating the Sunday
closing ordinance.
| Colonel iced has long list of saloon
men who are accused of having kept open
| house last Sunday. Their cases will be
| taken up by the board next Tuesday.

Just and legal method of settling the &C
count is to Cast up the entire amount
payable for the entire term and allow
him sum sufficient to make the total
payments equal to the total sum payable.
Applying this rule to the other Off
GERS also, there is due to the plaintiff on
account of his salary as auditor $50, and
for Cline's salary AS sheriff 500. 50; for
Wards salary as clerk, $50; for Bray,s
salary as recorder, $50; for billions sal

a writ be issued commanding the de-
PENDANT to issue a warrant for $3.50. 40.
The only allegation for demand ana re-
