PRESS CLUB RECEPTION.
De Wolf Hopper and Denis O'Sullivan
to Join Many Friends Tonight
at a Smoker.

Denis O'Sullivan, the native San Fran
cscan who has been playing "Snamus
O'Brien," and De Wolf Hopper, of "El
CAPTAIN" are to be received informally
tonight at the Press Club.
There are to be pipes and maybe some
potions of amber fluid, and possibly other
things.
Anyway, the prime object is to have
things work out p easantly.
AS many persons have not met these
talented gentlemen off the stage, and DO
not know what they look like in ordinary
attire, there is expected to be a pretty
good attendance at the club. Other talent
will be there, too, and W hat with music,
story and other features OF entertainment.
i'm provised as may happen, things will
probably go smoothly enough. The Press
Club has not given a smoker for some
time. One was due, and De Wolf Hopper
and Mr.. O Sullivan will be made at home.
The delegates elected to attend the In
ternational League of Press Clubs will be
invited to be present to exchange views in
reference to measures calculated 10 i'm
prove the newspaper profession. There is
much interest in the club at the present
time because of the efforts o! the mem bers
TO make it one of the most influential
organizations in the country.

authorities which. he claimed, supported
the admissibility of evidence showing the
customs of an establishment.
Then Mr.. Delmas took the floor. "After
listening to the argument of counsel on
the other side, and looking back TO the
glowing promises made by the plaintiffs
in their opening statement to the jury"
he said, 81 cannot help exclaiming How
the mighty have fallen They have
sought TO NOW down the regulations of
men and women here on the mere show
ing of the custom of an esta blishment,
carving with it the possible errors of %
dollar-a-monIh clerk, of printers devil,
or the tobacco Spite of q printer appear
ing on these blanks. Hours and DAYS
have been wasted in this effort, and fail
ure has attended it at every turn"
Attorney McEnerney said he thought
he could produce authorities that would
satisfy the court that their position was
right, and Mr.. Delmas declared that if
counsel really thought so he would with
draw his objections and give him a
chance. In consequence, the court did
not rule on the point, and will not do so
until after the debate is finished next
Monday.

State Humane Educational Society were
taken yesterday afternoon at q meeting
held in the Y. NJ. c. A. building. The
chief organizer in the work OF extending
mercy to dumb animals is Miss E. NJ.
Gay of San Jose. She became so deeply
interested in the subject that she visi ted
many counties Of the State at her own
expense, and wherever she went preached
the gospel of compassion for overworked
and neglected beasts of burden. Her OBJ
servation soon convinced her that cruelty
to animals could not be checked by indi-
vidual effort, but that organization would
be required to effect the good purpose.
The meeting yesterday was called to
order by Professor S. S. Sturges. Jud &c
D. E. Alexander was called to the chair.
The chairman asked Miss Gay to outline
the purposes of the organization. She
said that humane society should be
formed in every county in the Stale
where a society for the prevention of cru
city to animals did not exist, and that in
every county there should be organized
Humane Educational Society," branch
of the general or parental organization in
San Francisco. Through the local soci-
cites Bands of Mercy should be formed
and children of the schools taught COM
| passion for dumb animals.
Al the close of Miss Gays remarks q
| suggestion was made that statement OF
the society's proposed work should be
printed, and the organization deferred
until thorough canvass had been made
| to obtain mem bers.
Rev. DR.. friedrich, Pres byterian divine,
! faBcied that immediate organization was
! better than delay. He hoped that Office rs
would be at once elected. After further
| discussion it was decided to eject officers.
Mrs. William Deane nominated for pres
! dent of the society Charles l.. Darlington,
president of the Board OF Education. Mr..
| Darlington was elected without oppos-
ton on the assurance that he would serve
and would also endeavor to enlist the
service of the school In the humane cause.
! Mrs. Deane assured the meeting that Mr..
| Darlington was the man for the place.
Other officers as follows were chosen:@
First vice-president, Mrs. R. Mccoy

ander; secretary. Mrs. Kate Waters;
treasurer. William P. Harrison.
! A committee on bylaws was appointed

NO CELEBRATION MONEY.
Why the Fourth of July Appropriation
Cannot Be Transferred Into the
Boulevard Fund.

There is no chance of the $4,000 appro-
priation for the Fourth of July celeora-
ton being turned into the boulevard fund
for the simple reason that there Is no
money to transfer, even If legal way
could be found to do il.
The matter was under discussion at the
meeting of the Finance Com mittee OF the
Board of Supervisors yesterday, when
Auditor Broderick asked where the Soooo
that it was proposed to transfer was TO
come from.
"Whv, from the treasury" said Super
visor Delany, confidently.
But there is no money there to the
credit of the celebration fund" said the
Auditor.
Supervisor Delany seemed surprised and
askej why.
Simply because the appropriation tn at
was made at the beginning Of this fiscal
year was used up last Fourth OF July"
said the Auditor.
you can't use money you haven't got,
and You will not have any Fourth OF
July money until the new appropriations
are made up"
"But you didn't tell Us this before"
said Delany.
"You didn't ask me-" was the answer,
and the Supervisor looked wise, ex-
claimed "Oh" and the matter dropped.

Liliuokalani arrived here yesterday
morning on the Sunset limited from
San Francisco. She was accompanied
by her agent, Mr.. Joe Holebute; Mrs.
Graham, her personal companion, and
a maid and two children of Mrs. Gra-
ham. The ex-queen travelled as an or
binary passenger and did % occupy
a special ar. The party did not stop,
but proceeded to Washington by the
Louisville & Nashville road as soon as
the transfer could be made. The ex.
queen vigorously repudiated the in
terview which a reporter protested to
have had with her at Houston, Tex.
As she spoke excellent English she
had no difficulty in making herself un-
derstood. She said:
sit is all a mistake. l was never
spoken with al Houston. Can you
wonder at my difiGence in meeting
newspaper men when they insist on
putting words into my mouth l never
utter. lam sure you will appreciate
my position. l am nothing but 4 de-
posed queen. l can not talk about nv
country or its future for fear that
what l might say will be distorted. 1

solute retirement and have taken lit
tie heed of public matters. What my
