CELEBRATION OF THE CENTENARY OF
THE WIDOWS SOCIETY.


LocH MILLER. WHO PRESIDED: BISHOP
POTTER. BISHOP ANDREWS. JAMES
c. CARTER AND THE REV.
DR. joins n. DAVIES
The hundredth anniversary OF the Society for the
Relief Of Poor Widows with Small Children-the
oldest charity organization In New-york. and prob
ably in the whole country-was celebrated yester-
day. The completion OF the socicty's century OF:
charitable effort marked by meeting in the
Assembly Hall OF the Presbyterian Building yes
terday afternoon. when report OF the organiZa-
;ion's history and work read and addresses
were made BY Bishops Potter and Andrews, James
G. Carter and the Rev. DR.. John r. Davies. In The
Tribune Of Sunday last was published a compre-
henslve description Of the founding and career OF
the society and Of It's methods and purposes. This
was probably the first occasion upon which these
details have been printed. Hitherto public notice
has always been avoided. and yesterdays centen-
NAL gathering was the hrs: public meeting that
has been held In the whole period OF the organiza-
tons existence.
As was pointed out by Bishop Potter In his ad-
dress, the society offers a remarkable example To
charitable associations which are carried on only
by the aid OF costly administrations. The Widows
Society. as Il generally Is called. has no headqnar-
ters or rooms, has salaried oflcers the only
charge against its funds being small outlay TOT
stationery and stamps. This custom has been fol-
lowed ever since its founding, IN orCeT tHdt pay
cally every cent OF income might be available Tor
charitable purposes The meetings are held fort
nightly in the houses, In turn OF the managers OF
the charity. comprising about Atty women belong
ing TO some OF the oldest families In New-forK
Another unusual thing about the society Is that II
has no president It's chief officer goes by the
OF first drectress. and that post is hiled py
Mrs William Preston Griffin. Mrs. George Mac
culloch Miller is tho second directress, Miss Mary
L. Dey IS third d,rectress. Miss Margaret a. jack
son is secretary and Mrs Theodore b. Bronson -
treasurer. The bylaws provide that three men
shall act as an advisory committee. and these at
present are George MacCulloch Miller, george T.
Belts and George S. -3owdoin.
The celebration yesterday afternoon presided
over by Mr. Miller. The audience was composed
almost entirely OF women and among the COM
parativey large number presen. were

An Unique CeIebra tiOn.

On the day of all Utah days, July "a,
the pioneers will enter the Mormon
city in the same fashion they did fifty
years ago. The same conveyances will
be used: oxen. COWS and horses will
furnish the motive power and the peO-
pie who held the reins or tlourished the
CAD half century ago, will perform
the same duty. Camp will 'be struck"
on the same spot, the ceremony of tax
ing posse of the country will be re-
peated, and the stirring scenes which
marked the presumption of the valley
will be re-enacted by many of the orig
inal participants. The reception which
will be given in the tabernacle to them
will be an event which will be marked
down in history as one of the most mem
orable ever recorded in the nation.
The unwilling of the monument OF
Brigham Young will also be an incident
which time will never efface from the
records of the Mormon church. The
attendant ceremonies will be of the
most impressive description and will be
participated in by church dignitaries.
civic officials and distinguished men OF
the nation. President Mckinley will
be invited to take part.

a Yuma BulI EITht.

La Grande Fiesta De Yuma wound up
the other night with wild west sports
and Spanish bull fights, which consti-
tuted a browning feature of the five
davs' revelry. The feature ofthe show
which drew the crowds was the Span
ish bull fight, headed by the renowned
bull fighter. Captain Carries Garcia,
from Juarez, Mexico. Captain Carlos
Garcia and his troop of tOrreadOres and
picadores, including la Carlota, a fe-
male bull fighter, displayed wonderful
skill in fighting the fierce animals, but
a magnificent black bull, Porfiro Diaz,
proved himself almost invincible, and
before he was dispatched in the third
fight in which he was used, he caught
Captain Garcia upon his long slender
horns and ripped open the mans jaw.
Captain Garcia's wound may prove IA
tai.
After goring and. badly mutiliating
Captain Garcia, the bull, stung to
frenzy by the torments of the toreador-
es and picadOres, charged full at the
bull pen and though it was strongly
built, after several desperate attempts
he smashed into kindling wood the
panel of the pen and charged into the
ground surrounding the amphitheatre,
which was filed with people. Many
were injured. The roulette table,
stacked with gold and silver coin, was
tossed high in the air, and the money
scatt tered in the dust. Strai ght
through the crowd the enraged animal
sped, out into the main street OF
Yuma, but fortunately no more people
were in the way. After a long chase
and hard work the bull was returned.

Serena ding a Murderer.

San Quentin prisons cornet band
serenaded Theodore Durrant the other
night, the leader, a gentleman DOUG
fourteen years for forgery, remarking
that it would tend to cheer the con-
demned murderer bit. He gravely
selected dead march into the spirit OF
which his fellow players entered with
due gravity. 10 Durrant it was like a
welcome to the grave.
The band room is directly under
the cell of Durr ant, and No. .260 stop
ped his reading for moment and sat
apparently dazed by the unaccustomed
sound of music floating up through the
grated openings. He paced his narrow
cell nervously for a moment. then sank
upon the stool and burying his face in
MS arms, wept. His frame shook with
convulsive sObs. The music had un
nerved the man who but a few hours
before had heard the death sentence
pronounced without tremor.

war, has been decided upon as presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific railway.
and the appointment will be announced
within a week. Edward w. Winter.
who was formerly connected with the
Chicago and Northwestern, has been
president since j. 2. Morgan * Co.
undertook the reorganization of the
Northern Pacific. The appointment
of Colonel Lamont as head of this sys-
tenn is understood to have been brought
largely by President j. Hill, of the
Great Northern, and il is but additional
evidence of the close compact that is
forming between the two great rail-
roads.
