WOMEN GAIN A POINT.
A Debate Before the Garfield Lyceum
Ends in Favor of Female
Suffrage.

The new woman scored a point in the
lecture-room of the Second Unitarian
Church last night. Garfield Lyceum No.
S69 of the Lyceum League of America had
debate on the following resolution:
Resolved, That the granting of suffrage to
woman will be detrimental to the United
States.
The affirmative side of the question was
taken by Adam Smith and the negative
was presented by William Ford. Both of
these young gentlemen made able argu-
ments on their respective sides. The de-
bate was spirited throughout and Mr..
Smith made many humorous hits, which
called forth storms of applause by the
ladies, Notwithstanding the fact that he
was the opponent of their champion.
Mr.. Ford's argument was not so well
seasoned with witticisms, but he presented
an array OF facts and deductions from facts
that carried with it a spirit of conviction.
The ladies cheered him. not because of his
funny sayings, but because he made some
points in their favor.
The judges for the evening were: r.
Allen, j. }. Peltret and ii. G. Sexton. At
the close of the debate these gentlemen re-
tired to deliberate over verdict. They
soon mace a report to the effect that Mr..
Ford had made the best argument and that
the negative side of the question was ahead
up to date. The badge of the LILA. was
awarded to Mr.. Ford as the prize of the
contest.
The programme for the evening included
banjo solos, Rotations and songs.

Some of the decorations will be simply
gorgeous, for every florists store has been
ransacked and the ingenuity of the best
minds of Oakland taxed in the arrange
ment of the different vehicles. 1t is esti-
pended privately for the flowers and
embellishments of the equipages, so the
scene will be.on of the grandest ever wit
messed in California.
AS the procession countermarches and
passes the grand stand for the second time
the battle of flowers will take place. and
the air will be filled with myriads of sweet
scented blossoms, Tor tons OF MOWERS are
to be sent or carried to the track by those
who intend participating. The warning is
repeated to those who will join in the fray
not tolmake the bouquets too large and not
to moisten them, SO as to avoid unpleasant
consequences.
When the floral engagement is over the
racing will start. The first event will be
mile handicap, class A, for the cyclists.
1t will be participated in by forty five
wheelmen from the leading clubs of this
section. In quick succession will follow

.FAB|0LA'S DAY OF DAYS,
The Floral Parade Is to Be
Started on Its Sunlit Way
at Noon.
THREE HUNDRED VEHICLES
Governor Budd and His Staff to
Ride in State In the
Procession.

This is the day to which all Oakland has
been looking for weeks past, for at the
Trotting Park the great Fabiola fete is to be
held. The festivities will commence at an
early hour and will continue uninterrupt-
eddy until $3.50 in the evening, at which
time the last event of the day will be called.
Never before has an entertainment been
arranged across the bay on such elaborate
lines as the present one. All classes of the
community are directly interested in the
programme, for it includes social and
sporting events of a high order. The audi
ence, too, promises to be one of the most
brilliant that has ever assembled in Ala
media County. Governor Budd will be
there, as will also Colonel Shafter and
staff from the Preside, all the local crack
clubs, the leading dignitaries OF the frater-
nal and social organizations, the city and
county officials, and general medley of
citizens, including every representative
family in the community.
Judging by the indications. fully 10000
people will swarm into the park before the
day is out. Six thousand tickets have
, been disposed of in the stores of Oakland,
between 1000 and 5000 have been taken up
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-11

two-mile handicap with forty-six starters,
mile tandem with seven teams, two
mile class B handicap with fourteen riders
and mile scratch class b in which twelve
of the cham pions of the State will meet.
The horse meet will follow with the
events in this order: Half-mile dash; five
eighths dash; one-mile trot, 2:15 class
one-mile trot, 2:25 class; one-mile trot,
2:40 class; one-mile pacing free-for-all.
Dovetalled in at the most convenient place
will come the hurdle race, and as this is to
be professional event the interest if it
will be very keen.
Outside of this splendid track pro-
gramme there will be all sorts of amuse-
ments for young and old at different
points and the day should pass off de-
lightfully. Refreshments of every de-
scription will be obtainabe at huge booths
presided over by some of the leading ladies
OF Oakland, and as the wares to be dis
pensed are to come from their larders and
are to be all home-cooking they need no
further guarantee. A good square lunch
will be served during the noon hours, and
as extraordinary preparations are being
made to guard against famine there need
be no fear OF any one going hungry.
A dispatch received by Postmaster
White from Washington yesterday au-
thorized him to close his office between
the hours of and o'clock in honor of the
fete. This is regarded as great compli-
ment by the ladies of Fabiola and thanks
have been telegraphed.
The enthusiasm and interest over the
event Is something remarkable. Nothing
has been too expensive or too hard to I'M
dertake that could in any way lead to sue
cess. Miss Ethel Pomroy, for instance,
has sent to the woods of Mendocino County
for wild rhododendrons with which to deco
rate her tandem, and even such a conser-
vative body as the Merchants Exchange
will turn out with a huge carrvall in which
the twenty-five directors will ride. 1t will
be gorgeously decorated and will be drawn
by four horses.
Many of the leading business houses will
close, even though it is Saturday, and a
number OF labor organizations have given
their men half holiday. Nothing else is
talked Of across the bay, and as Fabiola' S
fete passes into history it will do so under
the most favorable auspices that ever &C
companled an entertainment in Alameda
County.

the needy sick in the Athens of the Pa

the needy sick in the Athens of the Pa
cific.
Though at first known as the Oakland
Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary
Association its character soon led one
versed in classic lore to call the attention
of its officers to the story of Rome's hrst
refuge for the friendless victims OF dlseas
and they at once changed the name OF
their association to that of the Fablola
Hospital Association.
Its object was to provide a home for the
sick worthy poor entirely without means
or those of limited means, but no home.
To Mrs. r. w. Kirkham has always been
accorded the honor of having made the
initial steps, which eventually led to the
present great institution. She soon sur
rounded herself with cheritably inclined
ladies, and the following each contributed
$50 for a life membership, which at once
placed the organization on fair financial
footing.
Mrs. ]. NJ. selfridge, Mrs. il. scotchler.
Mrs. J. Hayes, Mrs. j. T. Houghton,
Mrs. Edison Adams, Mrs. w. w. Crane,
Mrs. w. w. Cannon, Mrs. Samuel Woods,
Mrs. ]. E. Nicholson, Mrs. Edwin Harris,
Mrs. D. B. Hinckley, Mrs. DR.. LiliencranZ,
Mrs. Van L. Eastland, Mrs. F; Bigelow,
Mrs. Chauncey Taylor.
From small beginning in little house
on Market street, with free dlSpensary
on Eighth street, the institution grew
until in 1888 a commodious building at
1857 Alice street was secured.
Then some of the wealthy people of Oak
land, among them Anthony Chabot, Fred
erick Delger, T. L. Barker, Captain Asa
Simpson, James A. Folger and others, do
mated lands and funds and the present
handsome hospital was built.
The present officers of the association
are: Mrs. R. w. Kirkham, honorary
president; Mrs. John Yule, president;
Mrs. Remi Chabot, Mrs. Peder Sather and
Mrs. ]. A. Folger, vice-presidents; Mrs. r.
w Gorrill, recording secretary; Mrs. w.
w. Standeford, financial secretary Miss
May Burnham, assistant financial secre-
tary; Mrs. A. A. Barton, corresponding
secretary; Miss Grace Scotchler, assistant
corresponding secretary; Mrs. @. A. Chase,
treasurer.

BREACH OF REVENUE LAWS.
Ihree Men Arrested for Selling I'm
stamped Cigars


+. H. Iobin, Dan Mulligan and F. E.
Knapp, three men who have been running
games OF chance in the vicinity of the fer

Agent Gilchrist yesterday. They operated

needle stopped opposite a number cor.
responding number of cigars were handed
out. These were taken from unstamned

the State, to the dominion of any institu-
ton inimical to the best prosperity and
advancement of the entire community, is
certainly not pleasing encouragement to
men engaged in the discharge of public
duty, and we are impelled to these re-
marks because it has been reported that at
certain meetings of your honorable board
such supposititious remarks have been in
dulged in by one of the members of the
board.
We do not believe that there is any seri-
Gus disagreement between the Valley Rail-
road Company and your honorable board,
and we think, whatever differences of
opinion as to the lease may now exist, that
they are but the ordinary differences of
business men in the establishing of COM
plicated proposition and which may be
readily obviated by a conference, which
we trust will be holden at your time and
convenience. We are, very respectfully.

Biz Fire.

At $3.50 a. m. Wednesday morn
ing the fire bell sounded the alarm
II was not long before the town dis
covered that a big fire was raging at
the penitentiary. The tiremen re-
sponded quickly and fought the fierce
flames heroically. , The fire was in
the Straus Harness Company's build
ing, to which the iremen confined
the flames. About six streams OF
water was kept playing on the build
ing, but Notwithstanding this it was
impossible to save it. The house
was filled with leather, and the
grease and oil used in the manufac
ture helped on the fire with all its
might. BY IL o'clock the whole
building was in ashes and the FIRE
practically out. The Straus Harness
Co. carried about $50 900 insurance
on their stock, and it is a total loss.
Whether the state will rebuild, or
