Chairman Rothschild ordered the read

Secretary Toohig then read the history of

brought forth applause. AS part of the

was the platform on which she stood. She
recounted what the new woman had ac-
complished, and said the real, right kind
aid of woman godspeed. There was the
usual applause.
Then Mrs. Louis Weinmann took up the
topic of "Woman," quoting the line,
Earth s noblest thing woman perfected"
She said this was an age when women were
making phenomenal advancement in all
avenues. "There was one place." she con-
tinued, where she was always welcome
and where she could accomplish great
good. That was in the home. She was

The address was applauded warmly.

Mrs. L. Lowenberg Entertains
About 200 of Them at the
Palace Hotel.
AN ARRAY OF PRETTY TOILETS.
Laurel Hall, Century, Sorosis and
Philomath Club Members on
Woman's Progress.

Mrs. /. Lowenberg the president Of the
Laurel Hall and Philomath clubs, yester
day gave breakfast to the ladies of these
sis clubs in Marble room at the Palace. The
breakfast was great triumph, and there
was feast of reason and flow of soul
rarely eaualed in the City.
Almost 200 handsomely attired ladies
were present, and they represented the
wealth, beauty and intellect, at least in q
great degree, of the great City of the
coast The Marble room was beautifully
and tastefully decorated with flowers and
trailing vines. Soft lights added also to
the effect of the scene. 1t was an unusual
occasion, and the ladies enjoyed it TO the
uttermost.
There we're number of papers, and con-
siderable humor was developed at times,
which caused storms of applause.
Mrs. Lowenberg, as the hospitable
hostess, extended a cordial greeting to her
friends, and from the nature of the cir
cumstances was the central figure. Mrs.
George W. Haight, formerly president OF
the Laurel Hall Club, acted as toastmis-
tress and made many happy hits.
Mrs. Lowenberg said there was nothing
new in creation, that as history repeated
itself, so did fashion, and clubs and all
things else.
'sThe poet tells u.s. she said, 'that there
that is love. The Scripture says, BE not
forgetful to entertain strangers, for there
by some had entertained angels unawares.

sence the toast-mistress and another lady
took up the theme, handling it happily,

of hands.
"Our Guests" was responded to by Mrs.
7. W. Collins, first vice-president of the

and Cleopatra, and fancied she could hear

1.-The Arts was the subject of paper
read by Mrs. DR.. Levi P. Lane. "In
America literature and the elegant arts
must grow up side by side with tn coarser
plants of daily necessity" said the lady.
She entered upon a discussion of what
constituted the real arts, and paid tribute
to those who were devoting their lives to
the arts.
Mrs. Haight introduced Mrs. w. R. Par
nell as a former president of the Laurel
Hall Club, who, she said, would tell much
of interest relative to the organization.
Mrs. Parnell told that ten years ago TWEEN
ty-two young ladies, who had been pupils
of Laurel Hill Seminary, near San Mateo,
seeing the need of such an organization,
had formed themselves into the club which
had since attained such growth. She told
how Mrs. Buckingham had aided them,
and alluded to the efforts of the club from
the time of it's formation.
The paper was SO interesting to the ladies
that they applauded it often.
The breakfast was an elaborate one and
lasted from shortly after noon to nearly
o'clock. There was an abundance of good
music throughout the repast and coutinu-
ing to the end of the literary features. The
bill of fare and programme OF exercises
were bound in leather, handsomely in
scribed. The printing, which was artistic,
was on rough-edged leaves of thick vel
lowish- brown paper. The book made a
handsome souvenir.

Iroquois Club Orators Advocate the
Capitalization of the Executive
Power in the New Charter.

Power in the New Charter.
Most of the funny men of the Iroquois

full more of Mr.. Buckley's dearest enemies
were on hand though. The evening was
uninteresting till Mr.. Jacobs took hand.
After announcing that the recent decision
of the Supreme Court on the tax levy had
shown that the Mayors power was very
slight, he suggested that it would be wise
to know what scope the new charter would
give that official and called on Max Pepper
to tell what he knew about it.
"Under the consolidation act the Mayor
is little more than a fgurehead, Mr..
Pepper declared. HE has extraordinary
responsibilities, but no powers. If riot
should occur he could not call out the

Commissioners would attend to that. Ii
an epidemic broke out only the Board of
Health could act. In governing the City
the Supervisors have the initiative power"
Mr.. Pepper thought that in a cosmopoi-
tan City like San Francisco it was unwise
to put the executive authority in the hands
of many men. In Glasgow that power
was vested in Council of $50 leading tax
payers. But in Glasgow practically all the
people spoke the same language and had
the same traditions. In the great Amer
lean cities, he said, Capitalization had
proved the best means of obtaining good

Attorney George H. Cabaniss pointed tc

w. A. Slater. Boston millionaire, who
has been cruising around the world in his

his yacht, which is anchored off Meiggs
wharf, was yesterday attached for $87 so
at the instance of the hotel managers.
The account has been overlooked for
some time, though the private secretary of
the Boston capitalist had promised an
early settlement when pressed for pay

now the Sheriff will hold possession of the

of an incendiary. A can half filled with
coal oil was found beneath the sidewalk
and from the fact that the fires in the
forge are carefully extinguished every
night and that no one slept in either shop
or barn. the conclusion that it was a case
of arson is general.
Both buildings were insured for $500,
and besides there was small insurance
on the hay. The necessity of more hy-
drants in this portion of the town and
better fire-hghting material is evident.
