Assertion That Women Have No Souls
Supported by the Scrip

Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens address was
the feature of the open meeting of the
Young Woman's Suffrage Club at Pythian
Castle last evening.
Considerable merriment was created by
youth named Sam Swartz, who opened
the discussion of the address by solemnly
asserting that there is Scriptural authority
for the statement that women have no
souls. The young man defended his side
of the discussion alone, for DR.. Treadwell,
DIR. Burgess, Mrs. Jane Bruner, Mr.. Church
and Mr.. Bolton. who followed, all believed
that the franchise should and would be
granted to women.
There was a short Introductory pro-
gramme, consisting of piano solo, ''Last
Hope by Mrs. Jane Bruner; recitation,

Marguerite Saxton; vocal solo, "Call Me

Three-Year-Old Enid Brandt,
Who Likes to Play the

Students of Child Development In
tereSted in the Young
Player.

Many San Francisco musicians have
lately expressed interest in the perform
ances of what they consider the youngest
child-pianist they ever heard. She is just
3 years old, and already has an extensive
repertoire, which extends from CATER the
Ball" to selections from the Wagner music
dramas, Of which "Tannhauser" is her IA
vorite.
Every one has heard of Mozart, who
played at years of age, but though music
always develops earlier than any other
talent, his case is cited as a remarkable
instance of precocity. The Chevalier de
Kontski, when he heard the little San
Francisco girl play. said hers was the most
striking case of early talent that had ever
been brought under his personal notice,

if the flats and sharps are numerous

small hands she modulates correctly into a
simpler key.
Ends parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Noah
Brandt, refuse at present to teach her mu-
steal no tation, as they do not want to push
her already too active brain. Later they
intend to give her every musical advan-
tage. Phrenologists and students of child
development are beginning to take consid-
cradle interest in Enid, and this week she
is going to Stanford University at the re-
quest of some of the professors TO have her
characteristics examined.

Classical Drawings.

number of San Francisco artists are
enthusiastic over project for founding a
new club for the exhibition of branch
of art that has received little attention up
to the present.
It is to be known as "Black and White -
and the works in which it will take an in
terest are to be etchings, pen and ink
sketches of all kinds, wash drawings, char
coal drawings, in fact every kind of art
work in black and white. The idea at
present is to take room downtown and
give an exhibition in the autumn. No
practical steps will be taken for six weeks
or SO, as most of the artists are going out
of town, but there have been several en-
thusiastic discussions in different studios,
and the probability is that as soon as the
artists return to the City the club will be-
come an esta blished fact, as commenda-

K. A. Hughson Gives an Interest

K. A. Hughson of Oakland is one of the
best informed men in the State on the SUBJ

from which he has deduced some conclu-
sions that will be of peculiar significance to
all who are interested in the prosperity of

INFLUENCE OF SCIENCE.
The Characteristic of Savants Is Their
Unfailing Optimism.

Unfailing Optimism.
The best that we gain from the pursuit
of research, Professor c. S. Minot writes, is
our characteristic optimism. We are en-
gagged IN achieving results, and results of
the most permanent and enduring quality.
A business man may achieve a fortune,
but time will dissipate it. A statesman
may DE the savior of nation, but how
long do nations live? knowledge has no
country, belongs to no class. but is the
might OF mankind, and it is mightier for
what each of US has done. We have
brought our stones and they are built into
the edltlce and into its grandeur. My stone
is small one. 1t will certainly be forgot
ten that it is mine. nevertheless it will re-
main in place.
How different is the pessimism toward
which literary men are seen to tend! Har-
yard University lost James Russell Lowell
IN 1891 and Asa Gray in 1888. The letters
OF both these eminent men have been pub
nshed. Lowell's letters grow sad and dis
couraged, and he gives way more and more
to the pesslmistic spirit. Gray is optim-
lstlc steadily and to the end The differ
ence was partly due to natural tempera-
ment, but chiefly, think, to the influence
OF their respective professions. The sub
lect material of the literary man is familiar
human nature and familiar human sur
roundings, and his task is to express the
thoughts and dreams which these suggest.
He must compete with the whole past,
with all the genius that has been. There
is nothing new under the sun, he exclaims.
But to US 1t is a proverb contradicted by
our daily OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Science

often do not know at present where to go
for it. If there were a black and white

of art but do not care, or are not able, to
pay for picture. You can get an etching

open a comparatively new field for Cali

there is stray bit of black and white occa-

some out of the way corner and has at
tracted little attention. An exhibition en-

MARLBOROUGH AND BoRUOK.
One Is Improving and the Other Is De-

Marcus D. Boruck, the journalist, who a
few days since was reported at the point of
death, has been improving since Sunday
morning, and last night there was strong
hope that he would, by reason of his
strong constitution, pull through. That
is, if no change for the worse should take
place in the next day or two.
There was no change for the better yes

the millionaire, who was stricken with
Bright's disease of the kidneys few days
since. If anything, his condition was

Several offers of the use of churches in the
City for that purpose were made.
Rev. Z. j. Larson, at present pastor of

Discussed Regeneration.


Regeneration" was the theme for dis
cussion at the meeting of the Congrega-
tional Monday Club yesterday. Rev.
]. w. Brier Jr. OF Antioch was the princi-
pal speaker. He said:
''Christ is made manifest by the spiritual
second birth of man. What we see every
where are the phenomena of generation, of
life improved and prolonged. Growth by
the assimilation of food is not regenera-
ton, however. A determination or change
Of purpose is not regeneration. The Bible
is the guide book, but the Holy Ghost is
the guide. The little word 'bapto' has
caused serious difference in the religious
world, and now the women are asking for
the exact meaning of that early story of
the rib. The Holy Ghost is the Interpreter
Of the Bible.
"Your natural man cannot testify to the
divine witnessings. He grieves the Holy
Spirit by his carnal and worldly strivings."
In the discussion which followed Rev
Edward Hilbert of Southern California
said that in the work of regeneration God s
part and mans should not be confounded.
Rev. Mr. Williams dwelt upon the theory
that the work of regeneration is begun
here, but perfected in heaven.

Reception Accorded the Mes

Federation.
REV. MIR. vARLEYs ADDRESS.
The Baptist Ministerial Association
and the Glorious Take
Vacation.

Evangelist Varley occupied the hour and
half devoted to the weekly meeting of the
Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday
morning. He said in part:
I'VE read in the Bible of the blessed and
only potentate.' 1 am convinced that the
speaker referred to two persons, the Father
and Son, in terms of contrast, and not, as
is commonly supposed, TO God alone. The
Bible is exceedingly precise in its language
and careful reading will show that all
through the book God is spoken of as the
sovereign of heaven and Christ the sover-
eign of earth.
within twenty years we shall have
reached the end. not of the world but of
this wicked age. A skeptic said to me,
DO you, as an honest man, claim that
Christianity has been the salvation of the
world?' up to date, no. replied, but
you do not take into account the speedy
coming of Christ
That coming will be solemn Judgment
of the rulers and lawmaking bodies of the
world. The executive, which the Bible
calls heirs of God and joint heirs with
Christ will be the rulers then under the
Great Sovereign.
Zone of the signs of the fulfillment of
prophecy in regard to the second coming
is that the Jews are returning to their ma
tive land in great numbers, according to
prophecy"
Mr.. Marley stated, among other things,
that under the new dispensation man
who dies 100 years old will be thought to
have died in his infancy. A man will live
to be 1000 years old then and show no signs
of decay. at is sin that causes age and
disease be said. 81 am not pessimist
in believing that the sin and suffering of
this terrible age are an extension of the
days of evil brought on by man."
The request from the Civic Federation
that the ministers preach on the subject of
the Grand Jury's action in reference to re-
form was received, but no action was taken.
