SAVING A LITTLE CHILD,
The Mexican Girl Suffering
:. in an Abode of Misery
:::., Kindly Cared For.
Mrs. Dooley Szanlk, President of
the District Nurses Associa-
ton, Takes Her Home.

Little Marie Hernandez, Mexican
child, who was dying in one of the .dingy
rooms OF an old rookery on the Barbary
Coast, for want of proper care, has been
removed to the home of Mrs. Annie E.
Dooley-Szanik, at S0S Bush street, where
she is speedily improving. Her removal
from the foul air of the room at $40 Broad
way, where her mother and three other
children have lived in poverty since the
father deserted them several months ago,
to the clean, pure air of her new home,
has brought happiness to the little one,
and the kindly care she is receiving at the
hands of Mrs. Dooley-Szanik, president Of
the District Nurses Association, has put
her in fair way to recover fully from a
very severe illness.
The numerous rooms in the old building
on Broadway are occupied by families
whose poverty and sickness in many cases
would touch the hardest OF hearts. But
there was no instance of suffering in that
wretched place quite so pitiable as that of
little Marie. The mother was utterly
helpless in lack of physical strength and
means to provide properly for her child.
The attendance of a physician and the
purchase of medicines were necessary, but
she had no means and seemed ignorant of
how to secure them otherwise
The Kings Daughters first looked into
the case, sent physician and did many
kindnesses, and were preparing a room for
the taking care of the child at their Home
for Incurables, at 2l7 Francisco street, but
as the child required immediate care the
| District Nurses Association took the child
to the home of the president, where she
now is happy and cheerful.

TO ASSIST COOPERATION,
The. Commonwealth and. the
s. Labor Exchange Will
p: Il Join Forces: =.
They Both Want Land for Cuitiva-
ton and Factories for the:
-.
Unemployed. :.

A conference meeting of the officers and
directors of the California Cooperative
Commonwealth and those Of the Labor
Exchange was held last evening at the
office of Mrs. Laura. de Force Gordon, on
Larkin street.
The question of the cooperation of
both organizations was discussed thor
oughly. 1t was shown that in many lines
OF work in which both organizations pro-
pose to engage and are now performing
the interests of both were identical, and
that therefore, the interests of both would
be best conserved by working together.
The immediate relief of the unemployed
is the main object CT both the common
wealth and the exchange, and to this end
each organization seeks to acquire land for
cultivation.
Though nothing was definitely decided
upon last evening-the meeting being
rather informal and for the exchange of
ideas than of an executive character-it
was rather we'll understood at it5~ conclu-
sion that active steps would soon be taken
toward the practical cooperation of the
two societies, and to discuss ways and
means of accomplishing this end special
meeting was called for Wednesday evening.
1t was agreed last evening that both
organizations should first work together to
acquire land, then to establish industries
for manufacturing the necessaries of life
and in which the unemployed might find
work. Another point upon which a prac-
teal agreement was reached was that of
the interchange of commodities between
the two societies. All of these matters
will come up for action at the Wednesday
evening meeting.

THE WOMAN SUFFRAG|STS,
Divided Camps Will Hold Sep
arate Meetings on Tuesday
Morning.
Two Bodies Lay Claim to the Same
Charter and Title-Both to
Elect Officers.

The California State Woman's Suffrage
Education Association will hold meeting
Tomorrow afternoon at Golden Gate Hall
for the purpose of voting upon several pro-
posed amendments to the constitution and
electing officers for the ensuing year.
Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, State presi-
dent, will occupy the chair at the o'clock
session, aud in the evening amass-meeting
will be held, especially arranged for those
who cannot attend the day session. Susan
B. Anthony and Rev Anna Shaw will adj
dress both meetings upon the suffrage
question, and an invitation to membership
in the association is cordially extended to
all-men as well as women. The cam
paign committee appointed by the recent
Womans Congress Is acting as auxiliary
to the Suffrage Association, and Mrs. Blinn
states that the members are doing a good
deal of hard work in arousing popular
thought and action on the subject OF
woman's suffrage. In speaking of to-mor-
ross meeting, Mrs. Blinn said:
"While every one will be welcome after
noon and evening, the evening session will
be more interesting to outsiders. Most OF
the afternoon business will be to a great
extent of the routine sort-a discussion OF

The Other Meeting.

Inc California State Woman's Suffrage
EDUCATION Association, or rather that part
Oh IL OF which Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon is
president, Will hold its yearly meeting in
Pythlan Castle Hall on Market street. Tues
gay morning, beginning at 10 o'clock.
IL Is nearly year now since the split In
the organization occurred and some of the
anlmoslties that were aroused at that time
have been forgotten or outgrown. And
though the programme is that two distinct
yearly meetings of bodies that hold
the same title will be held on the same
day there are no indications of war. Peace
is the watchword now and it is more than
likely that an effort will be made to con-
solidate the two bodies.
Mrs. Gordon is for peace-on certain con-
ditions. Il, for one, she said last even
ing, would be in favor of indorsing the
Golden Gate meetings ticket provided it
is composed of women who arein earnest
in the work, instead of society women who
are only in the movement as fad. OF
course am only speaking of myself, you
understand.
"Our yearly meeting has been regularly
advertised and will be held Tuesday morn
ing. And so far as can prophesy we will

dwelt at some length upon the degrade,
ton of the different classes, the serfs o.
Russia, the miners of England and the
women of this country, Until the ballot
was placed in the hands of the miners oil
England the men were nothing more nol
less than slaves, but the moment 1t was
given them and they had the power to
make or unmake governments, then These
men became power that was constantly
sought after; and as soon as they received
that power the bitterest opponent OF the
movement to give it to them was the first
to move the appropriation of public money
to educate the miners children.
She spoke of the women OF to-day, ex
cept where the ballot had been given them,
as being in the same state OF degradation
as were the miners of England before they
were given the right to vote. She traced
the suffrage movement OF the United
States and declared that until the four
tenth and fifteenth amendments to the
constitution were adopted the country was
a white mans oligarchy.
She then drew attention to the difference
in the manner of treatment of the colored
man by the white before and after he OBJ
tanned the right to vote and instanced the
case of Senator RevelS, who when a
preacher in Kansas, before he had the right
to vote, was looked down upon by every
white man, but when things changed and
he was sent to the United States Senate he
was courted on every side. The emancipa-
ton of the negro was not because of
high regard for the colored man, but a
military necessity, and the enfranchise-
ment of the colored man means to keep
the Republican party IN power, q power 1t
could have maintained if the party had
protected the colored man at the polls.
Miss Anthony then spoke of the power

men do their duty, go to tie polls and
strike the word "male" from that section
granting the right of suffrage. Until that
IS done woman will always be the slave OF
man. She illustrated her remarks by a
number of pointed anecdotes, which were
appreciated by the women In the congre'
CATION.
Speaking of the women who. vote at
municipal elections In Kansas, she sald
mo Kansas negro woman ever sold her
vote"
s'Women, when they get the ballot, she
said, twill not only be independent, but
they will be respected by the men because
when they have the right to use that little
piece of paper their opinions will be the
same as that of the men on election days
when it becomes crystaliZed into law.
She urged all the women present to set
themselves to work to remove the lgnor-
ance that stands in the way Of woman s
advancement and makes her the slave OF
man.
She said in conclusion that she never felt
better in San Francisco before an audience
than she did then, because she was
speaking to men who at one time
rights, and she felt sure that they
knowing the injustice they had suffered,
would recognize the injustice women are
made to suffer

PETER WAS HUMAN.

tlonaI Church.
The announcement that DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw would occupy the pulpit of
the Plymouth Congregational Church last
night drew an audience that filled the
spacious building 10 overfowing. When
the exercises began the aisles were filed
nearly to the pulpit and the gallery was
equally crowded.
Miss Shaw took for her text the sixth
verse of the third chapter of Acts: "Then
Peter said, Silver and gold have 1 none,
but such as l have | give unto thee
Miss Shaw said of all the pictures pre-
nPeter in his denial of Christ was so
human, so like the most of US, that
whatever Peter does is always of interest
TO us.
The speaker described the events leading
up to The denial of Christ by Peter. In
her pleasant earnest way she depicted the
feelings of Christ when he saw his servant
talking to young girl and denying that
he killed him.
"Then the Lord looked at Peter, and
such a look of love, of pity, of kindness, of
gentleness and of pain, never shone from
human face" she said mo man or
woman was fitted to battle with the world
unless imbued with the love OF Christ.
Every reformer has had passion for truth
and Justice. If there is one woman | re-
snect above all others it is Susan B. An
tbony. When young girl she left home
of riches to go out into the world and bat
fla for the freedom of mankind. Nowoman
was ever so much sneered and Jeered at,
and vet she went through it all with a
serenity that was beautiful to behold.
