the anti-lynching committee, which was
severely criticized by the Governors of
Southern States.
England was the means to an end, !"
said Miss Wells last evening, "and the end
was to put down lawlessness in the United
States, and particularly in the South
When l first went to England in 1893 my
reception was not the most cordial. The
people did not know me; they did not I'M

OF the leading ministers of Liverpool,

but when he came to the Worlds Fair and
learned that two lynchings had taken
place in Illinois during the exposition he
became my champion. When | went back
to England last year he threw wide the
doors of his church and granted me every
consideration.
"The editors of the London Daily News,
London Chronicle and Contemporary Re
view are all my friends and are on the
anti-lynching committee. The Southern
Governors did everything in their power to
mlsrepresent me and the doctrine |
preached. But when the opportunity came
that they might refute what 1 said and
justify their own position they did not &C
cept it, but evaded the issue.
How did l become interested in this
work? Well, two personal friends were
lynched in Memphis, my home, without
cause. They were business men, respect
ing the laws and the only thing that could
be said against them was that they were
strong competitors of the white men. So
the cry was raised that the negro was run

the colored men wounded the whites They
were arrested and finally lynched, and all
because the people wanted blood.

Miss Wells was warm friend of Fred
Douglass and greatly deplored his death.

TO AID THE UNEMPLOYED
The LABOR EXCHANGE PROPOSES
TO PUT ITS PLAN IN
OPERATION.
TO COMMENCE WORK
IMMEDIATELY.

The condition OF the unemployed work
ingmen of the city was discussed in all its
varied phases last evening at meeting of
San Francisco Branch No. % of the Labor
Exchange, and after several hours of con-
sideration it was decided by unanimous
vote that the local labor unions be re-
quested to render immediate financial
assistance. incidentally the committee
appointed was also instructed to wait upon
the Mayor, Superintendent of Schools and
general relief committee and present a
similar request.
The members of all the labor unions, it
was suggested, could easily afford to sub
scribe five cents per week, and if agreeable
to the superintendent the school children,
scribe a like amount
In this manner, 1t was thought, con-
siderable sum of money could be raised
each week and placed in the hands of the
Mayor or some other responsible person
to be expended as outlined by the Labor
Exchange. The plan adopted by this
organization is somewhat novel in its pur-
pose, aiming as it does to provide employ
ment for idle labor by facilitating the
interchange of commodities and services
among its associates and the public. Last
evenings open meeting, presided over by
Henry Warheld, was the hrSt held under
the auspices of the local branch, and the
principal speaker, Call Gleeser, entered
into an exhaustive explanation of the ex-
change. He stated that there were up
ward of forty branches in operation
throughout the country this State alone
having ten.
By and through the employment of idle
labor, the exchange aims to furnish food
clothing and the comforts of a home to
those in need, and to establish and operate
clearinghouse and factories. BY this
system, it is intended in time to dispense
with the use of money entirely, and in
short, to effect the capitalization of labor.
The promoters of the scheme claim that its
adoption by the wageworkers of the civil
lied world would be the means of saving
the wealth produced for the use and bene-
fit of the actual producers and their de-
pendents.
1t is proposed to issue exchange checks,
the holder thereof being entitled to an
equivalent in some commodity other tnan
that produced by himself.
Several other speakers addressed the
worklngmen, and the result was the APP
pointment of I. Kildey, w. NJ. Harter and
Carl Gleeser as committee, with instruc-
tons to act for the exchange. 1t is expected
that at least enough will be realized to eu-
ter upon practical illustration of the
workings OF the exchange and at the same
time give employment to large number
OF men. Another meeting will be held at
1853 Mission street on Thursday evening
next.

Reports Heard and COLLATION. Enjoyed
at Howard Street Church.
Good cheer pervaded every nook and
corner of the Howard-street Methodist
Church last evening, when 600 men and
women took their seats at the BANQUET
tables and prepared to enjoy the feast of
good things set out for the eighth annual
tea meeting of the San Francisco Church
Extension Society.
From o'clock in the afternoon until late
in the evening those present toasted on the
vlands prepared by the Ladies' Aid So
clety. The programme as decided upon
was rather bulky, but was adhered to as
closely as circumstances permitted.
At o'clock the informal reception be-
gan. At o'clock music by the assemblage
was followed by prayer, Rev, E. P. Den
nett leading. Rev. John Coyle, DID,, pre-
siding elder of the district, delivered the
address of welcome, and invited all those
present to partake of the collation. ten
dered by the Ladies' Aid Society. Music
by the California quartet, under the leader
ship of r. W. Smith, enliyened the pro-
ceedings.
Charles Goodall, as president of the So
ciety, reported the work accomplished
during the past year, and held out very
promising hopes for the future
Charles b. Perkins, as treasurer, read
his annual report, which showed $16SS had
been collected during the year while
s2047 had been used in church extension
work. The overdraft will be made up by
contributions.
Resolutions of sorrow were adopted rela-
tive to those members of the societ.3rwho
died during the past year.
The 'question-hox," containing queries
regarding San Francisco Methodism, was
handled by Rev. w. w. Case, DID, and
brought out considerable discussion and
numerous ideas.
General hand-shaking and social greet
ing concluded the evenings pleasure.

testant net gain of 81. This is by far the
biggest char ge that has yet been made in
any of the recounts.
Another precinct which yielded large
gains for Allen was the Tenth Precinct of
the Thirty-irst District. Here Allen
climbed from "a to Al, and Glynn fell from
127 to 90, giving Allen a gain of 3d. Glynn

polling-place of this precinct was on the

dent as the recount progresses, and his

Glynn's friends that Aliens big gains,

pany for S2204 % yesterday. This firm has
the contract for furnishing food to the
Branch Jail, and began pressing its de-
mand for payment for January supplies.
Some time ago it became apparent that
the appropriation for the institution was
running short.
a week ago the Supervisors gave the
company warrant for $2204 o., but as the
payment OF this amount would overdraw
the one-twelfth of the annual appropriation
by about $500 the Auditor refused to sign
the warrant. The Supervisors then by
resolution empowered the Auditor to draw
on the general fund for the subsistence of
prisoners for the necessary amount While
the Auditor was celebrating whether or
not he could legally obey the resolution
there was CONSERVATION in jail.
The contractors insisted that they would
furnish no more provisions unless their
warrant was signed, and Superintendent
Clarkson of the jail, with the attorney of
the Sheriff, pleaded with the Auditor to
sign the demand. Just while the excite
ment was at its height and hunger stared
the prisoners and their jailers in the face.
the Auditor found that he could recognize
the resolution of the Supervisors and
signed the warrant. Food will be plentiful
at the jail to-day.

lack of demand there is shrinkage in
