WOMEN TALK OF PAPERS
Christmas Social of the Pacific
Coast Press Associa-
ticn
Several Interesting Statements il
Relation to Journalism-A Sou.
venir of the Event.

There was good attendance of mem
bers and friends of the Pacific Coast
Women's Press Association yesterday aft
ernoon in Shasta Hall, Native Sons build
ing, it being the Christmas social meeting.
Mrs. P. T. Dickinson. the president, pre-
sided.
The first number on the programme was
a vocal solo by Miss Augusta Frederick.
Then Mrs Emeline o. North read paper
on the obsolete newspaper.
She said newspapers were in vogue be-
fore the flood; if not, how should we have
known about the animals that entered the
ark two by TWO, and what was happening
outside. She said she was of the opinion
the reporter was a woman, because the re-
port was in plain, straightforward IAN
guage, without the redundancy of the re-
port of the male reporter of the present
day.
She then gave a historical review of the
papers of the past as far back as the first
newspaper of Rome and down to the pa
pers of to-day, and presen ted for examina-
ton various papers that were published as
far back as 1900.
She also gave an interesting account of
of the past gave the news of the day to the
public, and told OF many writer's who have
become prominent in the literary world
aud who made their debut in the obsolete
newspapers.
Miss Bertha Kickoff was to have read a
paper on what tha Newspaper Should
Be-" but she was unavoidably absent.
Miss Carrie Bowes executed piano solo
in most pleasing style.
Mrs Alica KiDOShOrv Co0tau than af
some length told OF ''The Editor and the
Contributor" which was an amusing ac-
count of contributors endeavors to have
an article published, and she gave a per-
sonal experience. She told her hearers
that writers must have patience, perse-
verence and ''sand" in order to get along
in the world of literature
Mrs. Laura Young Pinney read a paper
on 1.-THE Newspaper From the Editor s
View" She told that the editor Judges
the material offered from the nature of it's
fitness for the particular paper he controls
and the amount of news it contains. t'The
articles" she said, must fit like French
gown" She also spoke of the heads for
newspaper, as heads are what attract the
attention of the reader to an article.
Mrs. K. a. Emmons of the Chicago
Press League was introd uced, and she
stated that she has come to this City to
make it her home, and hoped in the
future to make herself better acquainted
with the members of the Pacific Coast
Women's Press Association.
There were few remarks on the proper
kind of stories for children, and an ad-
journment was then taken.
To each one present was presented a
very handsome Christmas souvenir. con-
tanning portraits and short sketches of the
officers and many of the prominent mem
bers of the association.

HIS MIND DERANGED.
A. Gilman, Customs Inspector, Locked
Up in a Cell at the Receiving
HOsDitaI

A. Gilman, customs inspector, was
found wandering on Mission street at an
early hour Sunday morning by Policemen
J. F. Murphy and ]. Tyrrell. As he could
not tell his name or where he lived, the
policeme sent him to the Receiving Hos
pital, where he was registered as John
Doe"
Yesterday several friends called at the
hospital and identified him. He was at
tending to his duties on Saturday, but did
not go to his room in the Hughes house.
Third and Howard streets, that night.
and when he did not return all SUNDAY a
search was made for him and he was
found in the hospital.
He has for years suffered from facial
paralysis, which has now probably affected
his brain, as he seems mentally unbal-
anced. He cannot collect his though hts
and although he was able to recognize
friends who called to see him yesterday
he could not talk to them intelligently.
He is being detained at the hospital until
some one swears to a complaint against
him, so that he can be taken before the
Insanity Com missioners.
Gilman is a widower and it is said has
grown-up son and daughter in Switzer-
land

the Assessor collected at the rate of 81 so
on the 500 valuation. The rate fixed by
the Board OF Supervisors on September OF
the same year was 81 %, and every tax
payer who had paid 10 the Assessor was
required to pay the difference between
81 so and 81 % at the office of the Tax Col
lector at the time when real estate taxes
and personal property taxes secured by
real estate became due, and payable in
October and November of the same year.
This year tie Assessor collected at last
years rate, 81 % on the $l00 valuation.
The rate fixed by the Board OF Superyls-
ors in September was 81 SO on the $100
valuation, and the taxpayer is presumed
to get the difference between $2 % and
81 80 some time this month. This excess
has been idle in the Treasurer's ONCE
since April. 1t amounts to $172. 732 20.
TIE Assessor contends that the Tax
Collector should collect the taxes. 1t IS
also held to b. njust to make one class
of taxpayers pay their taxes IN March,
when no tax rate has been fixed and when
no Board OF Equalization is in session to
whom an appeal can be made from an un-
just assessment, while another class, COM
posed of the wealthy owners Of real
estate, pay on corrected and equalized
basis nine months later.
In the case of the London, Paris and
American Bank, which was obliged to
pay to the Assessor (it not being the owner
of real estate) the sum of $33, 760 in taxes
on personal property, the showing was
remarka BILE. If the bank had owned real
es,aie IL could have waited until April
and paid delinquency of 15 per cent;
still it would have saved $3207, allowing s
per cent per annum for thirteen and half
months.
1t is understood that Assessors through
out the State will resist the repeal OF the
law because they are allowed 6 per cent
for the collection of personal property
taxes unsecured by real estate.
Should the Supreme Court fail to de-
clare the law unconstitutional San Fran
cisco's only remedy will be to appeal TO
the Legislature asking that the act be so
amended as to exempt counties OF the
first class from its provisions.
This peculiar law, passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, was probably en-
acted Tor the benefit of rural Assessors,
and yet it has i'm posed immense loss of
public revenue and great inconvenience
on the taxpayers of San Francisco.

TURNED ON THE GAS.

A Sailor-Boy Attempts to Commit Sui
eide in the Brooklyn Hotel.
A boy, about 10 years OF age, dressed as
a sailor, registered at the Brooklyn Hotel
Sunday night. He gave his name as w.
Andrews and said he came from Colfax,
Placer County.
About o'clock yesterday morning one
OF the porters OF the hotel learned that
gas was escaping from the room occupied
by Andrews. He broke open the door, and
found the boy in bed in an conscious
condition. The gas was turned on. the win
dows were closed and the kevhole in the
door had been plugged with q towel, show
ing that the boy contemplated committing
suicide.
A physician was called in, and later the
boy was taken to the Receiving Hospital
He had not regained consciousness last
night. and his chances of recovery are
doubtful.

SANTA CLAUS CAME LATE.
But the San Francisco Boys Club Assoc
citation Had a Merry Time
just the Same.


The San Francisco Boys Club Associa.
tion held its regular Christmas entertain
ment at TAO Bryant street last evening.
Many of the boys parents and friends and
invited guests were present.
At the left of the hall was the Christmas
tree, loaded down with holly berries and
candy. Leonard Everett acted as Santa
Claus.
A programme of dialogues and recita-
tions, arranged by the entertainment
comm ittee. composed of Herbert Van
Viack (chairman), Miss Florence Lund-
borg and Miss Florence Paul, was carried
ont with spirit, and the performers were
all heartily applauded. 1t was as follows:
A scene from Julius Caesar" by John
Guinne and Charles Sullivan, "Christmas in
Camp by the Artisans Club ana the Sketch
Club, recitation by Miss Clara Stafford a
recitation by James Barrie, s.Santa Claus in
His Workshop" by the Hale Club.
After the programme was finished the
floor was cleared, and the drill corps. un-
der the direction of Lieutenant Christian
t. SeitZ, executed a series of fancy eyo-
lutions. The drill corps is composed of
twenty-five boys, selected from the various
clubs com posing the association.
The drill corps then donned citizens
clothes and all the boys of the associa-
sented by Santa Claus with a bunch OF
holly-berries and box of candy.
The Cosmopois Club will give an en-
tertainment at 740 Bryant street on the
evening OF January for the benefit of the
gymnasium fund. The hall is now being
refitted. and appliances and apparatus for
gymnasium will be placed there soon.

Cholera at Honrkonp.

The Board of Health will hold a special ses-

If there remained a necessity for
showing how easily party principle
can be moulded, the review of the
Democratic State platforms given by
the New York Tribune must put an
end to doubt raising questions. In
fifteen States the Democrats declared
unreservedly for gold as a standard of
value and the Endorsement of the
Cleveland administration. That was
before the Chicago convention. After
Bryan's nomination the Democrats, or
some of them, swallowed their previ-
ously asserted principles and immedi-
ately began to boom schemes directly
opposed to their first plans. It's all in
politics is the only explanation to be
given, but it will be of no small mo-
ment to note the influence this disser-
ton of the principle has upon the final
result at the polls.

Personal AND PECULIAR.


In a recent letter to the editor of q
London magazine, Mr.. Gladstone says.
In my opinion there can be 10 words
too strong for denOuncing suitably the
abominable practice of gambling-now
believe, more rife even than during
my youth-and the ruinous consequent
ces to which it directly leads. l am
aware of the arguments raised upon
the definition of the word, but l re-
gard them as little better than mere
bubbles"
In Japan there is a beggar commu-
nifty which numbers upward of 800
members and has been in existence for
forty years. 1t has at its head a
king" who is past sixty. years of age,
and who severely Furnishes any in
fraction of his authority.
Much comment has been called forth
lately as to the supposed defect ex-
listing in the new Krag-Jorensen rife,
whereby it invariably shoots too far
to the left, and in this connection
number of army men were interviewed.
1t appears that there is nothing the
matter with the rife, the fault lying
it. The front sight of this rifle is a
good deal higher than the old sight on
the Springfield, and the least cant
will throw the shot to the right or
left Most men pull the gun over
them in shooting, canting it slightly to
the left instead of holding it level and
leaning full over to the line of sight.
If the gun is placed in wise and shot
it appears that the ball is not DETECTED
TO the left in the least.
A French chemist in New York city
has found a new composition for false
teeth, sample of which, having been
tapped with a hammer, went off and
wrecked his office. Thus the meta
phor about shooting off ones mouth"
is no longer a bit of slang.
Mexico has a 13O-ton locomotive.

organizations can occupy. Next TO
meeting graduates of their alma
mater, college men enjoy association
with representatives of other institu

intellectual union not found elsewhere.

speak of the association as a mutual

The University Association, which,
by the way will probably be generally
known as the University Club, has
started off very favorably if the num-
Der present when organized and the
number passing favorable comment
upon the movement can be taken as a
criterion. It is indeed surprising to
find the number of college men that can
be gathered together in this country,
and it is also a matter of interest that
nearly every college of the United
States is represented here. Although
