DENVER, Colo, June 7.-Inspector-in-

robbery at Cripple Creek yesterday,
but nothing was stated as to the amount
of the loss. 1t was given out, however,
that the loss will amount 10 $1400 in cash

mail. The gravest OF suspicious have been
aroused over this latest reported trouble

Under the administration of ]. G. Rose
the Cripple Creek postoffice has been
continual source of trouble, both before
and since the fire. Complaints innumer-

the inspectors have reported his case to
the department score of times.
Not long ago he burned several tons of
mail. alleging his inability to handle it,
and the citizens were very indignant over
this, asserting that irst-class matter had
been burned, as some evidences remained
of this on the dump where the stuff was
consumed.
This week Rose was reported "in-

missal was but a matter of few days.
He was required to keep one or two men

Among those prominent in other soci-
cites may be mentioned Mrs. Elmira L.
Stephens, one of the founders and for
seventeen years president of the board of
managers of the Orphans Home. Mrs.
Stephens life has been largely devoted to
the broader motherhood that takes in,
feeds, clothes and shelters the poor little
waits and strays deprived of one or both
parents. Many scores. of children provided
with good homes will one day rise up and
call her blessed. She is woman of I'M

parliamentarians in Southern California.
She was president for three years of the
Woman's Parliament.

Mrs. Severance was elected president and

In March, 1892, the club joined the Gem
eral Federation of Woman's Clubs, and in
August of the same year became an incor-
porated body. From its organization it
has made steady and rapid growth until
it now numbers $50 members, probably the
largest literary club in the State. This
does not adequately gauge the attendance,
since visitors in Los Angeles may be adj
mitted to its privileges for three months
on payment of 81 per month. During the
tourists season there is large temporary
membership, every section of country and
almost every State being represented.

A BIG WHITE CENTER.
Another Target for Fine Shooting
Tried Yesterday at Shell
Mound.

The rihemen missed a rare opportunity
for fine scores by staying away from the
Shell Mound shooting range yesterday, for
the light was excellent and there was only
enough wind to carry off the smoke.
There was considerable practice, but only
few regular club shoots. DR.. L. o.
Rodgers, f. O. Young and A. B. Dorrell of
the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club made
some successful experiments on the fifty
yard range with new target, in which all
of the principles of the Columbi target
are preserved.
The target shot on was a six-inch center
in the regular twelve-inch black, the half
inch lines being preserved in both. Many
of the marksmen have been sighting their
firearms so as to hold Just under the black,
but with the white centers they had the
opportunity of holding on the dead GEN.
ter. The experiments showed that the
pinhead on the 22-caliber rifle and pistol
show up to splendid advantage. To have
made the white centers smaller, say four
inches it was feared would be straining to
the eyes. Several excellent scores were
made, and IL is possible that the new ar
rangement will be adopted for 22-caliber
rifles by the club.
Chris Meyer ana G. F. Waltham of the
Nationals were out practicing with their
Springfield muskets. Meyer has obtained
such excellent results with nitro powder
and nickel-plated bullets that now he uses
nothing else. The scores OF the two were

new place OF worship has long been felt
and often agitated by previous pastors,
but it remained for Mr.. Ware to start the
movement in businesslike way and carry
1T to successful conclusion.
The dedicatory exercises held this morn
ing were grand and impressive and were
listened to by an immense gathering.
There was an invocation by the Rev. ]. A.
Brown, scripture reading by Rev. Law
renee McCrae, prayer by Rev. R. L. Nc
Hatton, communion by ]. II. Mccullough
and fine dedicatory address from Rev. s.
M. Martin.
The programme was mingled with
hymns and anthems by select choir and
a beautiful solo by Mrs. D. r. Gale.
The afternoon services consisted OF
scriptural readings by Rev. T. A. Akin
son, prayer by Rev. e. II. Hayden, five
minute speeches from Rev. L. E. SCHNEIDER,
Hon. E. F. Woodward, D. P. Anderson,

gratulations and SOM at Pm

cation, thus winding up a pleasant and

ment to adhere strictly to the subject out
lined in its bylaws, the discussion of topics
of general interest rather than to espouse
any cause or to identify itself with any
special movements. The reason for its
negative course is obvious when it is con-
sidered that every church and shade of
religious belief, every organization of
women, radicals and conservatives, on
every question, is represe nted. These
find here common ground upon which
all can meet and receive a respectful hear
ing; but it is plain that none can ask spe-
cial support when each has an equal claim,
and herein lies one of it's chief elements of
strength. 1t is an organization of busy
women, most of whom are working earn

who, with her late husband, DR.. Sever
ence, came to Los Angeles from Boston,
Mass, in 1875. Mrs. Severance had been a
coworker with Lucy Stone, Frances Dana
Gage and others in the woman suffrage
movement. She was also one of the found
ers and first president of the noted New
England Woman's Club, the pioneer or
ganization of women in the city of Boston.
With her knowledge of club methods, their
possibilities for the advancement of women
for which she had always been an earneat
worker, it followed naturally that she
should endeavor in her new home to unity
her sex in a common interest. She filed
the Office of president and was the inspira-
tion of the Woman's Club while it con-

is IS, with 81 annual dues, payable quar-.
terly or annually in advance. Appliea-
tions for membership must contain the
signatures of at least two members and be
passed upon by the board of managers.
Upon payment of dues each lady is en-
titled to one complimentary admission
card and the privilege OF purchasing two,
at rs cents, for each quarter. Out-of-town
guests are admitted on the presentation OF
the visiting card of the member extending
such courtesy. Gentlemen are frequent
guests, aud are always welcome.
During the first two years the club was
divided into committeeman, literature,
home and education, science, reform and
philanthropy and current literature. Since
then the machinery has been simplified.
The board of managers now arranges the
programmes and transacts all business.
While the papers are furnished largely
by the members, they are not restricted to
the club. Lectures, essays and addresses
on variety of subjects are given by men
and women prominent in their specla
lines. 1t is the aim OF the management to
provide varied programme, which the

ONTARIO, CAL, June 1.-The orange
shipping season closed here this week.
The total output has fallen below esti-
mates made early in the season by about
Is per cent. The returns have been very
satisfactory, however, and the growers are
not complaining. There were shipped for
the seas n III, 1S4 boxes of oranges and
1877 boxes of lemons. The lemon season
has just opened and brisk demand is
anticipated. Ontario ships annually more
lemons than any other point in the United
States. The output was 35,029 boxes last
year and these figures will be materially
increased this season. Dried.fruiJ ship
ments will reach nearly 1000, 900 pounds
and the green-fruit shipments will be
about fifth of that amount.

The riaemen who attended the events at
Sohuetzen Park yesterday could not have
had better day for their sport ii they had
one made to order. The early trains to
San Rafael took over a large mum Der to
the park, and from the time of the shoot
ers' arrival until nearly sundown, with the
exception of dinner hour, they kept the
leaden pellets whistling over the range.
Many excellent scores were made.
The regular medal shoot of the Califor-
MA Schuetzen Verein brought out nearly
the full force of the organization. As the
marksmen did not come up to the require
ments in scores for the first of the cham
pion class, no one was able to secure this
much-coveted trophy. All of the others
came up to the standard, as seen by the
annexed scores:

The medal for the cadet class was won
by A. Reubold on 1858 rings. The second
class did not fill.
The second prize shoot of the Verein

on the 25-ring target. The scores were as

Guiding the master, was kept busy at the
pumps. Had the weather been other than
it was-exceptionably favorable-the Bry-

as reported by the Utopia, of the breaking
away of the boot of its keel besides other
injuries. The crew confirms the report of

expected much in the line of equal rights
