named Sojourner Truth, came forward.
She described, in her negro dialect, how
she had been slave in the South and in
the State OF New York for forty years, and
how her friends had tried to educate her,
and she had to tell them that the place
where the larnin' ought to be- was all
growed up. Miss Anthony made this
story apply to her own knowledge of art.
She said she knew very little of art, but if it
could raise the minds of women and spur
them on to greater efforts for their ulti-
mate advancement, intellectually and NOR
ally, 1t should be cultivated.
Homemade Art" by Mrs Katherine
Ball, was the last paper of the evening. She
sald the artist has learned he cannot imi-
tate nature, but by practice he can closely
deplct what be perceives. She then pro-
ceeded to enumerate the outlandish and
1nartistic figures and forms used for dishes
and other articles of householders, show
ing how inconsistent and incongruous this
use may become. They are not only in
artistic but awkward and unhandy. But
we shall have birds, flowers and fishes on
our table china, and much too open work
in the embroidery of our tablecloths. In
the use of such art we find the sacrifice of
usefulness and convenience for the sake of
the artistic. 1t is true that many of these
outlandish articles OF household decora-
tlon show the development of homemade
art in the United States.
But suppose no one has yet given re-

MRS. EMILY PITT-STEVENS

Editor Call: The women of San Francisco
owe the success of the Woman's Congress
to Mrs. Cooper. I think she is one of the
grandest women the coast has ever known.
Shei is not radical. but discreet, and that is
the secret of her success. She was the
means of bringing these two grand women,
Miss Anthony and Rev. DR.. Shaw, to the
meeting and we owe her more than can
be expressed in words. The effect of their
presence combined with the work of the
congress will be to lift up the whole State.
Many women are in favor of suffrage, but
do not like to say so. This congress will
have the effect of popularizing that move
ment. We need anything that will con-
tribute to the success of woman's suffrage.
1t means her advancement, and I have
great hope that this congress will help us
carry the constitutional amendment passed
at the last session of the Legislature in
1895. Many men are in favor of it, too, and
all such gatherings cannot help having
their weight. If there was vote taken Of
this congress to-day I am certain YOU
would find large majority of the ladies,
and the gentlemen present also, in favor of
the enfranchisement of women. Miss An
thony is the grandest woman in the United
States. Miss Shaw comes after. The fact
that they are to be received and banqueted
by the Century Club the most conservative
of ladies clubs, / look upon as being of
deep significance. 1t shows that woman is
beginning to show her womanhood The
new woman favors advancement on all
lines. Mrs. EMILY PrrT-STEvENs.

though, everywhere. No city in the world
has SO many varieties of stores as has San
Francisco-Chinese, Japanese, Mexican,
Spanish, Hawaiian, etc.-and in those
shops may be found samples and speci-
mems of home art decorations which the
ladies should not overlook.

nounced that hereafter the evening ses-
sions of the congress would be held in the
First Congregational Church, corner of
Mason and Post streets.

MRS. CHARLOTTE STETSON PER-
KINS.

Editor Call. The Woman's Congress was
grand thing for California and the coast.
The interest manifest greatly exceeds that
of last year and / am highly gratified to
note the presence of so many men among
us. Before 10 O'Clock this morning there
was hardly standing room and new life
seems to infuse the entire gathering. This
shows an intense appreciation of and ad-
miration for the two great leaders of the
women's movement of the age. One of
the pleasantest and most favorable in
stances of this congress is the interest
not curiosity-which has brought SO many
of the other sex among US.

that California pays $1,000, 600 yearly for

outrage that one dollar goes out of the State
for those products.
The directors of the new road had most

very much valuable information as to the
condition and resources of the great valley.
They were also enabled to selecJ two
routes, along either of which the line may
and gratified at what they saw of the
bursting wealth of the valley-a wealth at
once OF quantity and quality. In view of
the size, wealth and future possibilities,
they were deeply impressed by the sacred
trust committed to their care in the man
agement of the peoples railroad through
it. Each of them, therefore, felt that
source of profit to them unless every
shareholder also partook of the profits.
The directors of the road were every
where received as friends. They could and
did everywhere assure the delegations they
met that none of them owned a foot of
land in the valley, and that not one of
them proposed buying any, so that land
speculation or town-lot gambling was not
even in their thoughts. They stated that
they did not come to build road with
sideshow of speculation in anything, or to
move or cause the removal or injure exist
ing towns but that they only desired to
acquire knowledge as to where the line
could best be laid out to serve the valley
best and do the greatest good to the great
est number of its people. Their object,
they said, was to aid the commercial, in
dustrial and real estate interests of the
City, but, to accomplish this, they all
knew that they must develop and make
friends of the people of the interior, on
the principle of cooperation. They had
previously believed the road would pay,
but after their trip they were positive it
would pay a fair interest on a basis of
freights and fares far below those exacted
by the Southern Pacific lines
There is no means known to me by
which the future of San Francisco can be
better measured than by a trip made
through the valley at this season. This
City has.now for the first time in its his
tory placed itself in the position which it
should long have occupied of the friend
and developer of the resources of the in
terror of the State. But working together,
as believe both peoples will for the next
ten years, will develop resources and
wealth not only unsuspected by strangers,
but of which the most of US do not our
selves dream. THOMAS MAGEE.

MRS. LAURA DE. FORCE GORDON.

Editor Call: The effect and influence of
the Woman's Congress must 6e salutary.
The subject of the home is one of vast i'm
portance. While think. from looking over
the programme, that it is quite as strong
as last year in point of speakers, explain
it on the ground that it is because we have
Miss Anthony and Miss DR.. Shaw with us.
In general way the effect of the congress
will be good, and especially so far as the
woman suffrage question is concerned.
The congress is working directly for the
emancipation Of women, and these ladies
here, like us, believe in beginning at the
foundation. 1t is necessary in Govern
ment like ours. The women suffragists
concentrate their energies to the emanci-
patton from the foundation, then we be-
lieve that the relation of women to the
home and society will regulate itself 1
believe that before the next Legislature
meets many of the present politicians and
leaders will wheel into line on the woman
suffragist question regardless of politics.

A STEAMER ON THE YUKON,
The Brig Geneva to Carry Away
a Stern Wheeler to
Alaska.
The Missing Engineer Of the River
Steamer Modoc Is DisCoV-
cred Dead.

The brig Geneva is lying at Howard street
wharf No. 8 taking in supplies and ma
chinery for the Yukon River. Among the
cargo being slowed away is large stern
wheel steamer which is going aboard piece
by piece. The steamer was built by Mat
thew Turner at Benicia and afterward
taken to pieces and sent to this City. The
Geneva will sail from here to st. Michaels
The steamer Bertha. which arrived from
Alaska last week, sails for Victoria to-day.
On her return from British Columbia she
will proceed to st. Michaels, taking with
her small army of mechanics to put the
sternwheel steamer together. The latter
will then be put on the Yukon River and
will be used as mail and supply steamer
for the miners. Being of light draught she
will be able to go further up the river than
any large boat has ever dared venture.
The Board of Harbor Commissioners
met yesterday afternoon, but transacted
very little business outside of routine mat
ters. The bonds of Hyslop and Ros-
borough, lately appointed wharfingers,
were approved. Bids were received for
the erection of a coal platform on seawall
lot IL, for the accommodation of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railway Com
pany. Darby Laydon was the lowest bid
der and was awarded the contract for $1027.
Another of William Mighels vessels is
going out of hecoasting trade She sailed
yesterday for Puget Sound, from where
she will take in a cargo of lumber for
South American ports.
The body of Michael Ward, the engineer
of the river steamer Modoc, who was
drowned two weeks ago Sunday morning,
was recovered on Monday near Freeport.
Ward took his watch as the steamer was
leaving Clarksburg for Sacramento.
On the trip up he either fell or was
knocked off the fantail and the steamer
barely escaped crashing into the Sacra-
mento bridge. Freeport is about twelve
miles this side of Clarksburg.
Wards life was insured for about $4,000,
and the finding of his body means much to
his widow and little family. He was
known as sober, steady and industrious
man, and he leaves large circle of mourn
ing friends.
The United States steamer Albatross
sailed for the north yesterday, her ulti-
mate destination being the Bering Sea.
The Australia sailed for Honolulu yes
terday morning with a good sized crowd
of passengers and well stocked with
freight.
The steamer Corona arrived from San
Diego and way ports. She was delayed
several hours by strong headwinds.
Among the passengers were w. r. Daley
and his dramatic troupe.

MRS. M. v. OSBORNE.

Editor Call: I think the Woman's Con.
gress is wonderful advantage in the way
of awakening and developing the intelli-
gence of women. 1t is the best means in
the world of reaching the masses of the
women and getting them interested in
woman's position and woman's rights.
The attendance is representative of the
leading women's organizations of the
coast, and the attendance is much larger
than last year. 1t cannot have other than
a splendid effect on the different organiza-
tions, and will encourage the ladies every
where to do better work in their homes
and over the world, MABEL V. OSBORNE.

truths which are of interest to every
tn mixing person.
was very much struck by the ease and
fiuency with which the women spoke.
They seemed used to platform speaking
and did not show any nervousness.
All the speeches interested me very

There is large pork-curing establishment
at Los Angeles, and thither, at necessarily
very high freight rates, most of the grunt-
ing products of the San Joaquin Valley are
shipped; the small remainder emit their
last squeal in San Francisco slaughter
houses.
But the San Joaquin Valley is still very
short most unjustifiably short in an
economical sense = on hogs. Farmers
there, now having few of this kind of hog,
should cry for them. San Joaquin Valley
farming and fruit growing interests would
show very different financial statements if
more hogs were raised. There is special
work for the American hog in the. valley.
He is needed to aid the advance of the
prices of raisin and wine grapes. Two
crops of these are yearly gathered, the
first in August and September and the
second in October and November. The
second crop is not equal to the first in
either quantity or quality. 1t is especially
apt to suffer in the latter point from the
fact that it is gathered in the rainy
season, when drying is difficult. This
second crop is in the nature OF q surplus,
and comes in competition at the East with
the first crop; indeed, some sellers manage
here and there to work it off as the better
article.
Now, the second crop should be gener-
ally, as it now in some cases is, left to be
gathered by hogs. There is said to be no
better or more fattening food for them. The
hog does not injure the vines in the least,
either, in harvesting the second crop. His
use in this way, therefore. is most appro-
pirate, and his sale for cash always certain
and generally remuneratiye. Everywhere,
even now, we saw signs in towns: Cash
paid for hogs" These signs would be
much more common and the prices paid
much higher if one of the largest pork
