The Daughters of st. George held their

dere's fete was splendid, but the citizen:
OF her neighbor are determined to outdo
her in splendor if possible.
The idea OF fete originated with G. G..
Bruce and Editor ]. H. Pryor of the Sau-
salito News. Other towns, they con-
tended, had got up successful carnivals,
and why not Sausalito. Her highlands
and her beautiful waters would be the
place for an Illuminated display. Colored
signal fires on the peaks would flash far
over the bay ana countless lights from the
houses and from the shipping would COM
plete the wonderful scene.
Consequently a mass-meeting was or
dered. at which the preliminary steps
would be taken toward carrying out the
idea OF an ideal Sausalito night carnival.
AT $3.50 last evening brass band took
its station at the door of the Town Hall
and presently martial strains we're floating
over the hill, the front and the bay. All
Sausalito gathered there and the hall was
filled to the doors. The principal citizens

MEMBERSHIP MUCH INCREASED
A Grand Promenade Concert to Be
Given Some Time During the
Coming Fall.

The quarterly meeting of the German
General Benevolent Society was held last
night at Druids Hall on Sutter street,
above Stockton. The meeting was well
attended and considerable interest was
manifested in the proceedings.
The report of President BremmeI for
the quarter ending June 80 showed that
the society was in a very satisfactory con-
dition both in the mum Der of members and
the finances. The receipts for the quarter
amounted to 500, ,451 n and the expendi-
lures $22,273 81, leaving balance of
$717S 40. The cash on hand on June 80
amounted to $11, $40 ss, as against $97S7 80
at the end of the preceding quarter.
A vast amount of charitable work has
been carried on by the society during the
past three months. Relief has been given
to 273 men and 134 women, in addition to
100 families that have been aided. In 6O4
cases of charity s2375 So has been ex-
pended. In the drugstore managed by
the society 2l07 prescriptions have been
furnisheds and seven patients without
means treated at the hospital.
An encouraging increase in the mem
bership of the society has taken place
since the beginning of the quarter Just
closed. One hundred and forty-eight
members have been added to the roll. as
against 109 for the preceding quarter. The
total membership on June 30 was 1907, as
against 3097 at the end of March.
Several minor changes were made In
the constitution upon the suggestion
of the special committee appoint
ed at the last quarterly meeting for
the purpose. The changes related princi.
pally to the admittance of new members
and admission fees. A motion was carried
to establish permanent fund from the
payment of life-membership fees, to be
used only in cases of necessity for building
or some similar purpose.
1t was also resolved TO hold festival or
promenade concert about the end of Octo-
Der or the beginning of Novembe in con.
nection with the German Ladies Beneyo-
lent Society. While the society hopes to
benefit financially by such festival the
main object is to unite and interest the
mem bers OF the society and the Germans
of this CITY.

captain, that there is something more
serious in the case than the mere charge
OF perjury, although when it is looked
