FORGOT SHE WAS WEO,
The Charming Maxine Elliott
Has No Thought of
Divorce.
And All Rumors 10 That Effect
She Positively Ayers Are
Groundless.

Miss Maxine Elliott, the charming lead
ing lady of the Frawley company, was
questioned last night at her apartments in
the Baldwin regarding a rumor extant TO
the effect that she had come TO San Fran
cisco with the avowed intention Of procur-
ing divorce from her husband, who is in
the East.
She said there was absolutely no ground
for the report whatever that she had
given the matter of divorce no thought at
ALL In fact she went further than that
and averred she had taken but brief and
infrequent thought even OF her married
state.
"Oh, heavensr' she exclaimed, with q
little move. when the que-t ton direct was
asked, "What Will the papers say next?
1t is groundless, groundless. l never have
thought of such thing. | have enter
tanned no idea whatever of getting a
divorce. This is not the first time that
Eastern papers have published this about
me.
"Why, do you Know" she continued en-
ergetically, Il had positively forgotten
that was married. 1t remained for som q
person whose hands were idle TO rake it
up for me.
"But why should I care if these reports
are sent out. Do you think / would come

REBEKAHS' LABORS.
They Expect to Finish the Work by
Noon To-Da y-Fourteen
New LOdQeS.

The entire morning session of the Re-
bekahs was devoted to a consideration OF
the question of removing the orphans
home from Thermalito TO Gilroy.
Much warm discussion was elected, but
it was plainly to be seen that the oppo-
nents of the change were many and the
proponents few.
Senator Jones OF 0roville took the stand
that removal OF the home from its present
situation would cause confusion and the
change was entirely unnecessary.
In reply Past Grand Master Gosbey ar
gued that the educational advantages and
larger facilities for enjoyment that could
be had at Gilroy would more than COM
pensate for the confusion arising from the
change. He also thought il were better
for the children to be placed where they
could not clash with the older inmates OF
the Odd Fellows Home.
When the matter was put to q vote it
stood 202 in favor of Gilroy and twelve for
ThermsIito. The question was then re-
ferred to the Grand Lodge for final action.
In the afternoon the committee on the
state of the order brought in its report. It
showed that fourteen new lodges have been
instituted during the past year, and that
two have surrendered their charters. A
constitution and bylaws for the subo rdi-
nate lodges was adopted.
There was no evening session, not even
the comforting of degrees. To-day will be
devoted to q consideration of reports, reso-
lutions and ell unfinished business. The
ladies expect 10 finish their work by noon
TO-DAY.

such body for four days, the members
and delegates are still fresh in body and
in mind. Yesterdays session was marked
by the consideration of some new and i'm
portant questions, and the lodge came to
the discussion of them with minds not at
all tired by the preceding sessions.
The morning meeting was taken up
mostly with a discussion OF the report of
the committee on appeals. Many OF these
evoked lengthy discussion.
In the case of Herman Wittenbe
against Germania Lodge the law was laid
down that If brother had money to his
credit for advance dues, and in the mean
time fines or assessments were charged
against him, his rights to benefits
could not be forfeited until thirteen weeks
had elapsed from the time the credits to
his account had been exhausted.
A magnificent collection of architectural
drawings, the work of Herman and Swain,
architects, are now on exhibition in AS
donated free of cost by the owners.
The decisions Of the grand master, made
during the recess, which were offered to
the committee on appeals, were all ap-
proved with the exception of unimportant
changes in Nos. and 80.
1t was resolved that hereafter permanent
secretaries will be required TO open
ledger account with the Grand Lodge, in
which all sums sent TO the latter, either
directly TO the grand secretary or through
the district deputy, shall be entered.
Certain matters pertaining to aged and
infirm members and to aged and infirm
mem bers of lodges that have surrendered
their charters are still under considera-
tion A careful canvass among the mem
har dc rn chnyu hot ba
in favor of extending aid TO member of
old and INDECENT lodges that have gone
out of existence.
The proposition for a $4,000 permanent
membership in the Odd Fellows Home at
Therm alto has not yet called forth deci-
siye action. This, together with all other
unsettled questions, will be disposed of at
to-day's session.
The trustees of the home have signified
their intention OF asking for an appropria-
ton of 80 cents per capita for the mainte-
nance of the home. II the Grand Lodge
comes to the conclusion that such a tax is
necessary, it will doubtless let the amount
be IS cents per capita, and an L extension
of about eighty feet will be added to the
building.
The first item considered in the after
noon was the constitution of the Rebek-
abs. After several slight amendments it
was passed as whole, and the assembly
empowered to make rules of order as they
may decide.
The appeal of Past Grand Holmes
against Circle Lodge was referred back to
the committee: The Grand Lodge de-
cided that when a man loses his life among
disreputable companions and under
shameful circumstances he forfeits all
claims to benefits from the order.
The one thing that was given the most
careful ana searching investigation was
the trouble that has existed for the pasr
year between the grand masters of Califor.
nian and the Wyoming lodges.
They have had long correspondence,
in which the grand master OF the Wyom.

NAGLE LAID TO REST.
Was the Youngest of California's Pio-
neers and a Member of the Bohe-
mian Club.

The funeral of the late George W. Nagle
took place yesterday afternoon at o. clock.
The simple Episcopal funeral service was
performed by the Rev. Mr.. Moreland of
st. Luke's Church in the parlors of Pioneer
Hall, from which place the long funeral
cortage started for Laurel Hill Cemetery,
where the remains were inferred in the
family plot.
The marshal and delegation of Pio-
neers accompanied the procession, for Mr..
Nagle had been '49er, although he was
but three years of age when he arrived in
California. The pall-bearers-all members
OF the Bohemian Club and personal
friends of the deceased-were Raphael
We'll, Henry Marshal, Vandrelyn Stow,
Charles G. Yale, 81. NJ. Bosworth and John
Lathrop. The Bohemian Club also sent
as special representatives its vice-presi-
dent, Peter Robertson, and its secretary,
Donald Graham. Many beautiful floral
pieces attested the kind thoughts of former

ing fraternity had written very dis
courteous answer to the grand master OF
this State upon being notified that he had
violated the law of tie order in having
permitted lodges under his jurisdiction to
solicit lodges here to buy tickets for an en-
tertainment in said jurisdiction, thereby
trying to do bv indirect means what the
rules prescribed.
The committee on the state OF the order
approved the action taken by the grand
master and recommended that the grand
representative from this State to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge be directed to
bring the matter to the attention OF that
body.
Amendments providing that lodges
should not in future lend any funds to in
dividual mem bers were adopted.
The grand masters proceedings during
recess in granting dispensatiOns, in grant
ing and refusing various permlssions and
in granting and recalling charters were
approved.
The temperance question was brought
forward again. ratified and approved
Henceforward no malt or spirituous
liquors can be used at any banquet or en-
tertainment given by or in the name of the
order, whether held in the lodgeroom OF
anywhere else.
Permission to institute new lodge work
in the German tongue was granted.
Charters for two subordinate and four
teen Rebekah lodges that have been in
stituted since the last session were also
granted.
In order to finish the work early to- day
it was found necessary to hold an evening
session, beginning at 7:30 P. NJ. By this
proceeding the lodge concluded that il
could reasonably expect TO end its labor:
by to-day at noon.
Nothing was done during the evening
session except to clean up the daily sheet
and make few minor changes in the
management of the home, with the excep
ton that another slight change was made
| in the matter of dues. Past Grand Master
Barnes gave notice of appeal to the Sover
eign Grand Lodge on the ground that TWO
former decisions had been already made.

Its perversion, on the other hand, hurls the
individual TO the lon est depths of misery and
human deg gradation.
During his paper, and while citing ex-
ampies OF the different forms of such per-
version, he had this TO say in connection
with recent crimes in this City:
The two women OF the town who were mur-
dered here in the City recently were un-
douDtedly the victims of ''strangler" /"
The murderer OF Blanche Lamont was also a
stranger" and undou btedly enjoyed in
tense qualification while choking her TO
death. That the person who killed Blanche
Lamont also murdered Minnie Williams be-
lIeye TO be fact for this reason that these
criminals after having once given way to lust
murder experience intense desire
that they receive the greatest gratif
cation only by murder and mutilation
And ali these departures from normal
instinct DIR. Martin considers indications
of insanity. The person who practices
them, ne believes, is suffering from pe-
culiar form OF mental disease and should,
when finally apprchended in the commits
sion OF crime resulting from them, be
treated in an asylum but never allowed to

gramme and on the Place
of Meeting.

Aftet three long and interesting sessions
Yesterday the California State Homeo-
pathic Medical Society concluded its
twentieth annual meeting and ended the
celebration of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the establishment of the principles
OF homeopathy by DR.. Hahnemann.
In all respects 1t was one OF the most
successful, as it was the largest,of the con-
ventions the homeopaths OF this State have
held. When the annual meeting opened
the society had a membership of 9S; when
it closed at the end of the third day there
were 122 physicians in California enrolled
as members. And the efficiency and good
OF such society is supposed to be proper
tional to the number OF persons actively
interested in its work.
Mental and nervous diseases formed a
subject that occupied the entire morning
session.
DR.. H. r, Arndt OF San Diego, as chair
man of this branch OF discussion, opened
the subject.
Dr. a. Stanley Dolan of San Bernardino,
the first assistant physician OF the South
ern California State Asylum for Insane
and Inebriates, took up the subject as "A

with specialize" in hygiene and sani-
tary science, and mentioned as three prin-
cipal conditions, hydropathy, mechanics
and homeopathy.
Dr. William Simpson of San Jose, in
iSome Notes on Sanitary Progress" said
that many sewer systems and particularly
those of San Francisco are so poorly con-
structed that they could be more cheaply
replaced by the best modern systems than
repaired as they exist.
Surgery was the ext theme taken up.
DR.. Pliny R. Watts of Sacramento
described a case OF Surgical Refexes."
DR.. Z. r. Bryant of Sen Francisco, in a
paper dealing with Hip joint Disease" F"
advised putting the limb of the subject in
plaster OF paris, thus avoiding the neces-
sity of confining the patient to a bed. DIR.
George 81. Palmer of San Francisco gave
some very practical ideas on Tuberculosis
of Bone"
ophthalmoogy. otology and laryng-
ology were treated in three papers. DIR.
Simpson OF San Jose cited case of "Hem-
orrhaglc 0aucoma." DR.. Peterson of San
Francisco had for his subject suppurative
rhinitis in children. He expressed par
ticularly the thought that most children
wear too much clothing and consequently
catch cold easily. DR.. f. r. Bryant of San
Francisco talked OF the Treatment OF
Coniunctivitis Trachomatosa.'
The use of tobacco came in for particular
condemnation from the veteran doctor, ].
NJ. Selfridge of Oakland. He held the
many physicians who use the weed as
locally responsible for the spread of the
habit among youth. DIR. Arndt, babitual
smoker himself, agreed that tobacco is
highly injurious, especially to youth. He
thought women could discourage it if they
would honestly say they object TO smoking.
The centennial OF homeopathic practice
was celebrated in a symposium opened by
Dr. Boericke of San Francisco, and par
ticipated in by the following: DR.. Will
liam G. Cole of Guerneyilie, VINO gave a
concise statement OF Hahnemann's doc
trines as taught by himself; DR.. III. r.
Brandt, who told of a century's modify
ing influence upon them; DR.. S. E. Chap
man, who dealt with their essential truth
as the basis OF therapeutics; and DR.. c. V.
c. Scott whose theme was Loyalty to
Homeopathic Principles"
As the discussions were continued it be-
came evident that the programme CO uld
not be completed without a very late ses-
sion, so many of those who had papers to
read agreed to have them mentioned sim
ply by title pending their eventual publ
cation in the journal OF the society.

gramme of the afternoon, the main SUBJ
ject being hygiene and sanitary science.
He took ''the pesthouse" as a particular
feature, and characterized this institution
generally as cheerless barn, uninviting
even 10 a dog.
