SAN DIEGO oARswoMEn.
Four Girls Make a Record for saving
Twenty Lives.

-Four Girls Make "A Record fer Saving
Twenty Lives.
In February, 1891, four girls of San
Diego, Cal, formed a boat club, and
borrowing a butchers bumboat started
merrily off to race with the we'll
equipped rowing clubs that practice all
the summer through upon the sapphire
crescent that curves toward Coronado's
golden beach.
At first people smiled little at the
idea of four young girls going in for
the muscular exercise, but now that
these young women have made record
by saving 20 lives the lilac club is recog-
nized everywhere in southern Califor
MIA. The name means nothing, but the
girIish within OF the oarswomen, Zulette
Lamb and Lena PoIhemus with her two
sisters, Agnes and Carrie, for it is
formed of the first letters of their Chris
ltian names, but the club has come to
stand for something on the coast and its
members wear decorations more hon
orabIe than medals for race winning.
After the club was formed rigid set
of rules and regulations were framed
and constitution adopted. Every can
didate for membership was required to
pass a severe physical examination, in
which swimming contest was a con-
spicuous feature. Other clauses were
unique, and one of the "shall nots'' has
necessitated a revision of the member
ship roll, as it prohibits marriage or
matrimonial intentions among the
crew.
The San Diego Rowing club, one of
the leading organizations of the coast,
rendered the Zlacs the use of a siX-oar
single-scull barge, in which they be-
came very proficient, racing against
time on Ladies' day, July 5, 1894, and
breaking all previous coast records. On
that day the Zlacs also distinguished
themselves by saving four of the crew
of the yawl Teaser, which capsized dur
ing the regetta. The club records show
that since then more than 20 persons
have been rescued from drowning by
the Zlacs, and it is a notable fact that
there never has been the slightest ac-
cident to mar the other side of the
ledger. The Zlacs after time decided
to build their own barge. The splendid
eight-oared racing barge Zlac was
launched August 3, 1896. 1t cost 5000
complete, and was all paid for by the
girls, none of whom is wealthy.
Nereid crew of eight, beating them over
a mile course by one boats length, and
on September 13 a second victory was
recorded against picked crew from all
the clubs, the prize being splendid
French mirror now in use in the lilac
clubhouse. On March 25 of this year
occurred the great race between the
Zlacs and Columbias for the pennant of
the United States coast defense vessel
Monterey and the championship of the
coast. Both crews rowed six-oar
barges over a course of 6,oOO yards
straight down the bay. The presence
in the harbor of six of Uncle Sans big
war ships, commanded by Rear Admiral
Beardslee, and a whole ballroom full
of gallant naval officers, lent an added
interest to the occasion Chicago

TIE POPulISTs.
Reed Finds Them Stumbling Block In the sAppointing of committees-They
 Are clamoring for Recognition.

Washington. June 2s.-Speaker Reed said today that he had ci1e matter of the appointment of committees under con sideraion. and unless something now un- foreseens occurred to change his present inclination he would prepare the list and submit 1t prior to the final adjournment. The speaker has had ample opportunity during the extra session for ascertain ing the wishes and qualified tions of mem bers for committee assignments. and al- though the actual work of preparing the committee assignments has not been be- gun. the task will probably be rendered easier ahan usual by the fact that most Of the chairmen of important commit tees Tn the Inst house are members of this house and the speaker has now pc sonal acquaintance with all he new members.
 One of the interesting features in con- nection with the appointment of ;he com mitiees Is the disposition to be made of the tweni y-one populists. In a written communication to the speaker early in the session they demanded recognition on the committees as separate party. Heretofore they have not been recog- nized, neither Speaker Reed nor the late Spaker Crisp recognizing the party of which they are memb:r IFS as entitled to separate T'ecogni ton, ard their assign ments as a rule were confined to unim- portant committees. None Of the big committees like the ways and means, the appropria tions. foreign affairs. and judiciary . has had a popuhst member. The democrats will protest if the popu- lists are given recognition at sheir ex- pense. It is not thought that Speaker Reed, will see fit to change his policy in chfS respect. A
 When MT. Reed completes his list he will doubtlessly confer with MT. Bailey, of Texas, who was selected as a candl- date for speaker by, the democrat tic cau- GUS There is ITO doubt about the chair nfsnship of :he prominent committees. The'oId chaifmen. with douIbilsss an ex- ception or two, will be reappointed.
