Elephants and productive of good to the
cause.
The first and third Thursdays in each
month have been fixed upon for the even
ing at home. The receptions will open at
s O'Clock and close at 10, though if when
the curfew rings some Philistine should
be just undergoing the throes of CONVEX
sion, the hour would doubtless be ex-
tended until such time as the brand from
the burning could be safely corralled and
tagged with the pretty badge which only a
champion of woman suffrage may wear.
The ladies of the State Central Committee
will conduct the receptions. Miss Mary
Il. Hay, the State organizer and lady chair
man, will be the hostess par excellence,
though she will have to contend in the
role of "everybody's favorite" with no less
an adversary than Miss Susan B. Anthony.
Mrs. A. A. Sargent and Mrs. Austin
Sperry will with sweet patience try to talk
reason to any chance anti suffragist who
may heed the cordial invitation which the
committee extends to folks of that ilK,
Mrs. John f. Swift will crush the more
obstreperous scouts OF the enemy under
tons of hard and weighty argument, while
Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn will charm
voters into the ranks before they can tell
where they are at"
The bureau is getting out five new leaf
let's. which will be distributed by the
thousand. One will answer the argument,
so-called, that women should not vote
because they cannot fight; another will
deal with the desolate, neglected home of
the horrid voting woman so eloquently
described by anti-suffragists; third will
treat of suffrage as a boon to working
women, while the other two are to con-
tain brief opinions by eminent jurists and
men in public life.
Mrs. Emma B. Sweet, Miss Anthony's
private secretary, left yesterday morning
for Stockton, where in the afternoon she
addressed mass-meeting in the pavilion,
under the auspices of the San Joaquin
County Equal Suffrage Club. She will get
the precinct club work of the county into
shape, proceeding thence to San Jose for
the purpose of inaugurating a similar
work in Santa Clara County.
Reports from Oakland and Los Angeles
are most encouraging. Thelnoble workers in
these two great centers of culture and COM
merce seem to be working miracles in aid
of the cause. Woman suffrage has become
quite the thing in both cities, while har-
mony and efficiency would seem to be the
watchwords OF the campaign.

the Presbyterian ministers was paper on
"Some of the Spiritual Needs of the
Church." by Rev. DR.. F. II. Foster. The
paper was introduced with the statement
that the greatest need of the church to-day
is more religion. The vital questions. in
the essayist's opinion, are: SAT what
points are our religious lives defective,
and what is necessary to enlarge them 2"
The first point to which DR.. Foster drew
attention is right living. He did not be-
lleve that being member of a church
could be taken as indicative of reliability
in business men. Neither did he believe
the church is making the impression of
fidelity TO principle she should.
1.-THE present decline calls for more
earnest preaching of plain duty" he de-
clared. "What is wanted is God in the
soul; hence, God must be in the preach
ing. The effect of pulpit utterances on
the nearer depends on the type of piety
cherished in the church Our preaching
the Sunday-school and not enough on the
pulpit"
The second point the writer made was
in reference to the attitude the church
should maintain toward the world.
There is a very strong tendency" he
asserted, ito regard the civilization of the
nineteenth century with a complacence
with an altogether ideal quality. Yet in
many respects it is far from being what
the Christian ideal demands.
Continuing, DR.. Foster spoke Of warfare
and the deadly weapons of late invention,
deprecating the awful carnage resulting
from their use.
In discussing the paper DR.. Minton said
he considered latter-day methods of war
fare less cruel than the ancient methods
because wars must perforce end more
quickly.
DR.. Frazer, DR.. Alexander, DR.. Mathena,
Rev. j. B. Warren and Rev. f. 81. Brush
also spoke to the question. DIR. Mathena
thought preachers would do better if they
would only keep their eyes off their
salaries.
At the Congregational Morning Club
Professor George f. Mooar, d. D., read a
paper on 'The Mission of Congregations
alism in the Development of Mankind"
He said sometimes men were accus toned
to talk as if there were Congregational
polity without the gospel. If so, he
asserted, it would only bear a facial re-
sem blance-it would not be the heroic,
the genuine product.
The Christian ministers failed to appear
in force, and an adjournment was taken
without transacting any business.
The Methodist ministers met at the

During the regular weekly conferences
of the various ministerial bodies yesterday
many interesting themes were treated in
original fashion. Some OF the subjects
were new and some old, but the manner
OF their treatment was in all cases in &C.
cordance with nineteenth century ideals
At the Baptist ministers meeting Miss
Mindora Berry, secretary of the State
Society of Christian Endeavor, addressed
the assemblage on the local Bible training
school. She stated that on the occasion Of

Judge Paterson Will Have to File One
in the Fair Case.


in the Fair Case.
Judge Stacks decision as to the standing
of Judge Van R.Paterson in the Fair litiga-
ton was not rendered yesterday, as was
expected Instead it was found that a
flaw existed in the contest, and so the
matter went over again. 1t is, however,
expected that on Monday next, when the
case will be taken up. all obstacles to an
immediate hearing will have been cleared
away.
Judge Slack sustained the demurrer in
terposed to the contest of Judge Paterson.
in behalf of Herman Oelrichs Jr. and O ther
minor heirs OF James G. Fair, to the will
of September "a. He said that the con-
test failed to show. as it should to be
legal, that the contestants have greater
interest under the will of Septem Der q
than under that of September "a.
Judge Paterson announced that he ex.
pected this decision and had already
begun the preparation of an amended con-
test, which would be ready in two DAYS.
Attorney c. T. Wheeler said that if the
contest is ready in that time and he de-
cides to file a demurrer thereto, he will
file it at once, so that the entire matter
will be ready for decision on Monday
when the case comes up.

of Vice.
1t now looks as though Charles r. Ben
nett, former secretary of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice. would have to
pay the penalty for his attempt upon the
life of George Gray on the 18th Of ] July,
1894. The Supreme Court has reversed
the Superior Courts order granting Ben
nett new trial, Justice Garoutte In "a
rather caustic decision saying: 1.-THE law s
methods must be pursued by him who
seeks the protection of the law"
1t will be remem bered that Bennett was
charged with having disgraced daughter
OF Gray. The fathers indignation caused
him to reproach Bennett in the bitterest
terms when the two men fell foul of each
other on one of the Oakland trains shortly
after the scandal became public. Bennett
shot at Gray, but missed his AIM The
charge against the former custodian OF
the public morals was assault to commit
murder, which, after long trial. resulted
in his conviction of assault with deadly
weapon. He asked and obtained new
trial, but Jared even worse, the jury find
ing him guilty of assault to commit MUIR
der. Bennett then appealed for another
new trial on the ground of having been
twice IN jeopardy. This proceeding the
Supreme Court designates as a sort of
juggling with justice, and the order grant
ing a new trial is reversed.
