Young Girls Organize.

A large and enthusiastic body of young
ladies met at American Hall, corner Pa
cific and Leavenworth streets, on Friday
evening for the purpose of forming an ad-
junct club to affiliate with the North End
Equality Club in the interest of woman
suffrage and to be known as the Young
Ladies' branch of that name.
The meeting was called to order by Miss
Sadie Callaghan. 1t was decided to lay
over for one week the election of officers.
The following committees were appointed
by the chair:
Committee on permanent organization
Miss Maud Van Croonberg, Miss Cora
Tevis and Miss Lena Lengenfelder.
Committee on constitution and bylaws
Miss Grace PIerson, Miss Ida LundDerg,
Miss Susie Kelly and Miss Blanche Babin.
Some very appropriate remarks by
Mr.. Harry Groth. who is an ardent advo-
cate of woman's suffrage, were loudly ap-
plauded.
The Esmeralda Glee Club, composed of
the following gentlemen (services volun-
teered): John Davis, Peter Lowry, Ralph
Nolan, John Slavin and Joseph Shaugh-
messy, discoursed some sweet music, which
was well received.

taken identity coupled with circumstan-
tial evidence that savors of the romantic.
The chain of evidence was so strong and
so complete an officer of the county made
up his mind that he had captured Blan-
ther, the alleged murderer and fugitive
from justice.
Rumor had it that Blanther was seen in
the vicinity of San Jose. Indeed, people
stated positively they had seen him and
talked with him in the Garden City. And
the whole valley was overrun with expedi-
tions searching for the distinguished look
ing murderer. AS the story went. he was
seen with gun over westward toward

"A Picturesque scene at Walnut Street
and Buena Vista Avenue.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May 27.-The State
conference of the Seventh-Day Adventists
is to be held this year at the corner of
Walnut street and Buena Vista avenue,
and the citizens will be afforded the UNIQUE
spectacle of seeing at least 1900 people liv-
ing in tents. The paddock in which the
tents are pitched is about three acres in
extent, belonging to Judge Waymire, and
was obtained for the Adventists through
w. NJ. Rank, president of the local electric
railway. Already over 100 tents are in
position, and by the time the conference
begins on May % it is expected 800 will be
pitched. The speaking pavilion is S7x145,
He Sunday school tent 60xS0, and the res
taurant tent 55x75
The scene is certainly very picturesque,
and for the next fortnight will be a busy
one. The president of the conference.
Elder n. P. Mcclure of Oakland, and
Elder w. lngs of st. Helena are already
on the ground, supervising and directing.
The camp superintendent, Truman

night, by inhaling gas. They came to the
place early in the evening and asked for
good front room, which was given them.
About 10 O'Clock A. Dohn, the clerk, pass
ing their door, detected strong odor of
gas. He tried to arouse them, but being
unable to get any response from the two
occupants of the room he broke open the
door. They had turned on the gasjets
after first sprinkling Glove oil literally
around the apartment. for the purpose,
doubtless, to conceal the presence of es-
Gaping coal gas.
The two girls were found lying on the
bed unconscious and were removed to the
Receiving Hospital. Upon a table were
found two sealed letters, one addressed TO
"Mr. Moses Morris, all Thirtieth street."
and the other to "Mr. J. Hazel, 400 Thir-
tieth street" The girls were well dressed
and were apparently members of respecta-
bic and well-to-do families. One had in
her pocket bill made out to ''Miss Lizzie
Sullivan and the other card addressed
10 miss Edwards"
Soon after reaching the hospital they re-
vived and were presently out of danger.
They are about 20 years OF age.
1t was learned later that they are Mrs.
Lizzie Hamilton and Mrs. Ella Evans
They were arrested Sunday night at the
saloon of 7. Joost, Thirtieth street, for
disturbing the peace and with Joost were
to be tried this morning in the Police
Court. Rather than face this ordeal they
preferred suicide They first took chloro-
form and then turned on the gas.

Homes.
OAKLAND IS ALSO DIsTR1CTED.
1t Is Intended to Poll Both This and
Interior Cities Before Election
Time.

For the last two weeks the woman suf-
traglsts have been working very actively
In districting the City. A number of
clubs have already been formed in the diff
ferent wards and before long there will not
be ward without its club of women work
ing for suffrage.
A good deal OF work is mapped out for
these clubs. At present the members are
canvassing for signatures for the Demo
cratic convention. Later on the whole
City will be polled for the probable num-
Der of votes on the suffrage amendment.
The clubs have almost all been organized
in private homes and every day parlor-
meeting is held in some one or the other
district. Later it is intended to branch out
into public halls and the united clubs will
have headquarters downtown.
vast amount of propaganda work in
the cause of the amendment to the constitu-
ton is being done by the members of these
clubs. Women who might hesitate about
attending public meetings think nothing
OF dropping into some society woman's
house for parlor chat. Rabid anti-suf-
fragists have been known to go, listen, de-
eide that there is something, after all, IN
the amendment, and, after period Of hes
ltancy and investigation, have turned right
about face and joined the club.
The next thing these women do is to pc
tition their friends for signatures Men
and women are talked to in their homes,
suffrage is discussed at dinner parties and
over O'Clock teas and men are beginning
TO find that bright, genial hostesses whom
they never for a moment suspected of a
craving 10 vote have become members of
one or other of the clubs and are actually
canvassing for signatures in favor of suf-
frage.
The following clubs are already in full
working order:
Thirty-ffth District-President, Mrs. Mabel
Taylor; viee-president, Mrs. Rose C. Ewing;

These clubs are working to secure $4,000
signatures for the Democratic convention.
They have not begun the work of polling
yet, but the women of Bakersfield have
already begun their house to house canvass,
and in the districts where they find strong
opposition to the amendment they are
working to give the people a change of
heart. The San Francisco and Oakland
clubs look forward to dong the same work
when the Democratic convention is over.
