FOR SICK CHILDREN.
The Fraw1ey Company Gives a Bene.
fit for the Children's Hos
pitaI.

A thoroughly successful benefit per.
Torrance of 1.-THE Jilt' was given yester-
day afternoon at the Columbia Theater by
the Frawley Company. The total proceeds
of the performance, which amounted to
$3.50 As, are to go toward building deaf
and blind ward for the Children's Hos
pital.
There was large attendance and the
clever acting of the Frawley Company
aroused plenty of applause. Between the
first and second acts Little Mildred gave a
song and dance, I'm Your Little Sweet
heart" and Miss Hope Ross gave clever
rendering of "Old Lang Syne' as violin
solo.
The cast included such artists as Maclyn
Arbuckle, Wilson Enos, Charles w. King,
III. d. Blakemore, Daniel Frawley, George
w. Leslie, George Bosworth, Thomas A.
Phillips, Frank G. Thompson, Miss Lam
sing Rowan, Miss Blanche Bates, Miss
Phosa McAnister and Miss Hope Ross.
The performance was in every way
pleasing and satisfactory to the large audi
ence and aided worthy cause as we'll.

The Civic Federation VIII Hold a Big
MassMeeting To-Day.
The Civic Federation has taken up the
fight against the poolroom evil in earnest,
and to-day big mass-meeting will be held
in Odd Fellows Hall at 3 P. NJ. to consider
the matter and devise ways and means for
suppressing the evil. A call has been
issued inviting the public in general TO
attend, and all of the city ministers have
been requested to urge upon their con-
erega tons the importance of a large at
tendance. In this invitation Thomas
Fiioen OF the special committee says:
II is not needful to emphasize with you the
menace to the morals of the community, es-
peclally of our young men and boys, presented
10y this evil as rampant among Us. The eX-
lsung laws seem unequal TO grapple with the
situation; new and sweeping ordinances are
needed for its determination, and it is in
tended by this meeting to voice a sentiment
ne4rly unanimous in the city against the evil,
Sno 10 demand the passage OF an ordinance for
us suppression.
Ut. Carlos Martyr of Chicago will be one
OF OF the speakers to address the gathering,
ne mas been prominently engaged in
sIhiliar reform movements in the East,
anu mas made special study of the pool
room eVll since he has been here. Other
weII-Snown speakers will also present
their views.

THE HEALY INQUIRY.
Nothing but PreIiminaries Accom-
plished So Far, as All the Wit
nesses Have Not Arrived.

Very little progress, it is expected, will
be made by the Healy board of inquiry
until all the witnesses against the Bears
captain arrive. So far there has been
nothing done beyond the preIiminaries of
organization in room SO of the Appraisers
building.
The full personnel of the board as organ
lied is: Captain Daniel B. Hodgson of the
Fessenden, stationed at Detroit, president;
Captain Louis N. Stodder of the Manhat-
tan, stationed at New York; Captain w.
G. CouIson of the Life-saving Service;
Lie utenant Henry B. Rodgers, comman-
der of the Hartley, recorder, and Lieuten-
ant William E. Reynolds of the Wolcott,
now at Sitka, prosecutor. Lieutenants
Daniels and Emory of the Bear and AS
s1stant Dorey of the Perry are on hand as
witnesses, but these are all up to date.
The investigation may yet be an open
one-that is, it is optional with the accused
TO say whether it shall be secret or public.
He has the right to demand a public in
quiry, and as he has a large number of
friends in the business world, all of whom
would testify in his favor as to capability
and efficiency, he may do so.

ITALIAN PAPERS At WAR,
La Voce del Popolo Denies a
Holocaust of Ten Thousand
Abyssinians.
L'Italia Offers to Bet That It's
Scoop" Is Correct-The Bet
Accepted.

The Italian colony is stirred up over a
lively newspaper war between l. Italia and
La Voce del Popolo, which arose out of a
difference of opinion between the two es-
teemed journals regarding 10000 Abyss
slnians, more or less, massacred in a re-
cent combat. L'Italia has thrown down
the gauntlet of 500 bet. La Voce has
snatched up the cartel, and now it only re-
mains for jury of prominent citizens to
decide whether Italia or La Voce shall
make the poor of the colony richer by the
amount of the bet.
The controversy arose in this wise
Last Thursdays issue of l'Italia contained
a somewhat lengthy and exclusive tele-
gram, dated January IS, which gave an
account of an assault on the fort of Ma
kalle. in Abyssinia, and stated that the
Italian troops had not only won signal
victory, but that the Abyssinians had left
10000 dead and wounded on the field.
This news called forth the following
honeyed words in the Fridays issue of La
Voce: Ten thousand dead and wounded
Good gracious! And to think that no tele-
graphic agency and no American paper
was cognizant of such important news.
spr.te whispers IN our ear that the IA
nous telegram of our contemporary had
Washington street, and no other scope
but to give the editorial chief an opportun-
lty of showing that he has studied in the
school of war.
But to achieve this object, innocent in
itself, why send forth to the fray 10, 600
Abysslniaus? At this rate, and with few
other as homicidal kilograms, there would
not remain single enemy for General
Baratlere to combat, when he finds it con-
yenlent to move from Adigratn
In Fridays issue L'Italia, nothing
daunted by the sarcasm of its contempo-
rary, repeated the story of the ten thou
sand dead, with added particulars The
paper also contained an offer of 500 that
the news was correct, the jurors to be four
prominent citizens, two chosen bv each
paper, and the 500 to be handed to the
Italian Consul, for the benefit of the poor
of the colony.
The bet was accepted with alacrity. and
yesterday issue Of each paper expressed
confidence in the result of the arbitration.
La Eoce does not believe it possible that
the Italian troops can be offering up such
holocausts Of Abyssinians in the Dark
Continent. L'Italia says it's telegram
came via New York, and is authentic. The
latter paper yesterday evening contained
the following announcement in the largest
and most ornamental style of type: 'tThe
day before yesterdays news in L'Italia
relative to the slaughter of 10000
Abyssinians by the Italian troops in re-
pulsing an attack on Makalle has been
confirmed by the Italian Herald of New
York and the Italio-American of New
Orleans"
The Italia promises to give the Jury
under the promise of secrecy the source
of its telegram, and both papers pledge
themselves to put up the 800, the loser
to give the sum it wins to the poor. 1t is
probable that the jury will be appointed

General McComb of the Society for the

Sadaugemon Ogino, the japanese child
actor, is 16 years of age.
Sadaugemon, whose stature is in inverse

ARTS AND CRAFTS"
First Exhibition of the Guild AssocIa-
ton Is a Enthusiastically
in Attendance.

IN Attendance.
The first exhibition of books and print
ing undertaken by the Guild of Arts and
Crafts opened last night at their rooms,
424 Pine street. 1t was a most creditable
collection of books, original drawings,
etchings, Autographs, engravings-wood,
steel and copper. In fact, every detail of
the printers art was to be seen, the ex-
hibits going back to the fifteenth century,
and then in comparison is shown the
progression Of each successive age.
There is an excellent collection of etch-
ings, framed and unframed; such masters
as Hadin, Rembrandt and Fortuny being
well represented. The etchings are from
the collection of George II. Buckingham,
W. k. Vickery and A. S. Mcdonald.
Mayor Sutro has loaned a rare lot of Next
can and Spanish books and a few etchings
which he gathered in the old country.
The collection of engravings on wood,
copper and steel are from various sources,
w. X. VIckery, W. D. Mccain, w. H.
Reaser, George II. Mastick and others
having contributed. A. NJ. Robinson fur
nlshes the copper-press plant in operation,
the artisans at work on plates specially pre-
pared for this exhibition forming an inter-
esting feature.
OF original drawings for books and
newspaper illustrations Miss Hobart fur
nishes splendid collection. The art de-
partment of THE CALL, with drawings by
kahler, Fisher, Lewis, Darlington and Van
Harrington, is one of the attractive features
of the arts and crafts display. The art de-
partments of the Examiner and Chronicle
are also represented.
The department of TYPOGRAPHY is COM
plete in every detail. Illustrations of the
swelled gelatine process, zinc etching, or
zincograph, the elliot process, half-tone.
embossing, wax engraving and the chalk
process, are on hand in plentiful numbers,
forming as whole one of the most attrac-
tive exhibits to be seen in the hall.
Society apparently takes deep interest
in anything undertaken by the Guild Of
Arts and Crafts, for they attended IN force
last night. The exhibition will close jan

The Borromean Council was organized
six years ago and is now in fourishing
condition. The charter members were
young men who resided at the Mission.
The early success of the council was due
in great measure to the practical aid of

Church, and Rev. 2. E. Mulligan, his
assistant, now secretary to the Arch bishop.

argument was to the effect that invention is
not lawless art, but rather the product of
hard and careful study. He showed the slow

A Gloomy Outlook.

The next currency issue in politics
would therefore seem destined to be
between these two opposing schools.
The greenbackers and other believers
in Government note issues will prob
ably join with the Populists and fiat
money advocates to secure a larger
volume of United States notes. The
men who wanted cheap silver dollars
so that they could pay their debts In
deprecated money, will gladly aid IN
. trying to enlarge the circulation OF
fat paper currency. The socialists
and paternaEsts, who seek to central
ize power and limit as far as possible
the activities of private enterprise,
will seize the opportunity for an at
tempt to extend the functions OF Gov
eminent. Against the mistaken theor-
lists and their agitator-allies will be
arraved all those who regard the cur
rency problem as d business question,

basis which viii be satisfactory to

: In view of the unfounded delusions
in which great and wise men have at
some time believed, it is not surpris.
ing that the preachers OF the gospel Of
more money, higher prices and Cur
rency imitation, should at first have
been eagerly welcomed by the farmers,
and in some States by other classes as
well. Did not the farmer sell his pro-
ducts for money, and was it not nat
ural that he should suppose that if
the stock of money was increased he
would receive more of it? Could not
money be exchanged for wealth, and
was it not therefore evident that
doubling the volume of money would
double the total quantity of wealth?
High authorities--United States Sen
ators, Congressman, etc. believed, or
professed to believe, that the simple
remedy of adopting cheaper meas
ure of value would abolish poverty
and make everybody prosperous. So
for time the farmers accepted the
promise of free coinage as means OF
deliyerance from oil their troubles.
They are now finding out that they
were the victims of a big bunco game,
and in next November they will e1-
press their opinion Of the men who de-
ceiyed them.

A number of Western Populists,
principally in Kansas, are trying to
promote scheme for great railroad
from Minnesota to the Gulf Of Mexico.
If these men really believed in the
free silver doctrines which they preach
they would try to do away with rail-
roads altogether, instead Of seeking to
build new ones. They constantly
denounce low prices as al evil to be
cured by big doses OF cheap money.
Yet they advocate q better method Of
transporting farm products which
would most certainly reduce freight
rates, and therefore cheaper wheat,
corn, meat, etc., in the markets where
they are sold. If cheapness is bad
thing, then the Popuiists should tear
up the railroad tracks, burn the steam
ships and destroy all kinds of improved
machinery. Goods would then become
scarce and dear, and nobody would be
subject to the danger of buying thin gs
too cheap.
