room, and the news OF her husbands
death was broken to her by Mrs. George
Stephens, wife Of the proprietor of the
house. The story of the relations of
the couple, as gathered from the lips of
Stephens and Mrs. Sternheim, Is as fol-
lows:
He was a cook; she followed the occu-
patton of housemaid. They were mar
ried on May IS, 1898, and have for some
time past lived in San Diego. Stern
helm seems to have been worthless
sort Of fellow, who much preferred idle :
ness to labor. He got out Of employ
ment there about three months ago and,
taking all their joint savings, came to
this city. Here he took rooms at the
Mariposa house. He lay in bed late
mornings and idled around for month
and a half, when he wrote to his wife
the hands while at work, and for her to
send him more money at once.
Instead of doing this, the faithful wo-
man wrote that she would come at once
to his side and nurse him to health,
telling the train on which to expect her.
This was staggerer to Sternheim, and
the night before her arrival he disap-
peared and was not seen again until
yesterday. His story about the scalded
hands was but fake to deceive his
wife and get money, and he could not
face her after the lie. The woman came
on time, but found no husband to meet
her. She stopped at the house. hoping
and believing that her husband would
come back to her, but six weeks elapsed
and he had not returned.

MUCH PROGRESS REPORTED

Proceedings of the Seventh Annual
Convention of the Association.
The Officers Elected.

The fifth annual convention of the
Young Women's Christian association.
which began in University church FRI
| day, continued throughout yesterday,
| and will not be concluded until this
| evening
The morning session yesterday was
| devoted to hearing the reports of COM
mittees, and discussed matters of gem
eral interest to the society.
The committee on nominations re-
ported the following officers for the as
sociation for the ensuing year, which
were accepted by the convention: Pres
ident, Miss Jean Lewis; secretary Miss
Nellie Hutchinson; assistant secretary,
Miss Flora Miller.
Reports were read and accepted from
Pomona, by Miss Mary Parker; Chaffee,
by Miss Mary Robertson; Occidental
college, by Miss Harris; State normal
school, by Miss Boor; University of Cal
ifornia, by Miss Helen Hoose; City as
socation, by Miss Teale. ss fsf
The reports showed that the affairs
of the association were in every in
stance in better condition than last
year.
The morning session closed with an
excellent paper, read by Miss Teale on
A Look Forward. otnn
In the afternoon papers were pre-
sented on the Practical Value of the
City Association to Young Women, by
Mrs. E. S. Reed, Miss Cora G. latham,
Miss Anna e. Robertson and Miss Jes-
sic Chambers. Papers were also pre-
sented by Miss Martha Teale, Miss
Katherine Cook. Miss Emily Walline,
Miss Edith Robertson. Mrs E. M. Pease
and Mrs. d. M. Dorsey
The paper of Mrs. Dorsey, on the sub
ject, How to Study the Bible, was OF
special interest to those present. She
thought that no one in Christian land
should be thought educated unless he
possessed a knowledge of the main
facts of the Bible. Proverbs contain
more sayings of wisdom than all the
other books printed. Study the Chris
tianity which Christ lived and taught.
Christ's mission on earth was not to-
teach a set of doctrines, but to incul-
cate habits Of life.

OF all the meetings that have been

by which to gauge the sentiment Of the
people Of this community
There were over 5000 people present
and 5000 more were turned away unable
to gain a place to stand within hearing

It just simply knew no bounds The
crowd cheered and cheered and then
cheered again at every mention of the
name Of the wonderful standard bearer

are this year fighting in free America

The orator Of the evening was that
eminent statesman, Hon. Jefferson
Chandler. and he made an address that
was what the vast throng had congre-
gated to hear. sss
For over two hours this distinguished
and gifted citizen told the people the
manifold advantages that would accrue
to them in the event the man Of their
choice-William ]. Bryan-was elected
with congress to back him up and Wit
alize the measures for which Bryan
stood as champion before the people.
The greeting that was given Mr.
Chandler by the audience was one
which would certainly stir any speaker
and cause him to put forth his best ef-
fort.
This was what Mr.. Chandler did and
the result was that the crowd could not
restrain themselves: Time and again
the countless thousands broke forth
with loud and long shouts Of approval.
The audience, considering Its vast
size, was one of unusual and extraordi-
nary intelligence. There were q great

hen not much larger than pigeon.

was killed.
The rat tried to escape. but Mr.. Charles

it out of the coop, and it had to hght
until it's death. The rooster was the ag-

vantage and bringing his bin actively
into play. The rat was almost pecked to
pieces, while the rooster lost part

MISTAKEN FOR ONCE.

The Washington Post has paragraph
about pretty girl and a woman who
Knows everything, the scene of the story
being the deck of Potomac steamer.
The girl was slender and graceful. Her
eyes were dark and sleepily brilliant.
She was languid and she wore rufIled
PINK muslin gown. The woman who is
never mistaken marked her.
That's a typical southern girl" she
said to me. You never see a northern
girl wear gown like that. Didn't you
notice her high -arched foot, too, and her
lauguor? The northern girl is always
SO abrupt and brisk, and"
Just then the typical southern girl
lifted her hands in surprise at some
thing a companion was saying.

know"
And the woman who knows every
thing gazed at the landscape
