dizziness OF trade here in the East we, club
OF young, industrious working girls number
ing eight persons, have decided to go West
We thought it very good idea TO seek in
formation from some well-informed person
who would give the matter full consideration
We would like TO know the city or town where
we would be likely to get good work We also
would like to know what business is prof ia BILE
to women.
We can all furnish the best of references
from here. We are all good sewers and ali
have trades. Hoping to hear from you soon
as we are very earnest in the undertaking, we
remain, your humble servants.
Address May Mclaughlin.
In reply. Secretary Fiicher informed
the Young ladies that if they were willing
to run the risks of coming to California he
would see what could be done for them.
SO It is proba bic that in the near future
the population of the Golden State will be
enriched by the addition of eight first
class seamstreSses, young and indus
trious."

Annie Mccarthy, otherwise Sister Claire,
and the Girls Directory Orphan Asylum.
The complaint alleges that prior TO
January "a 1894, there existed in this City
an orphan asylum and institution Tor
abandoned children, known as the Girls
Directory Orphan Asylum; that said in
stitut:on was conducted by society
Mines Harrietta LYMAN, Bridget Ferry,
81 nnah Wall and Annie Mccarthy; that
SAID persons formed an independent
branch of the Sisters of the Catholic
Order of ST. Francis, but remained an in
dependent society by themselves, free
from the control or interference Of the
Archbishop of San Francisco or any other
ecclesiastical authority; that said five
members went through the ceremony of
obtaining cord and scapular from a
Franciscan priest of the Roman Catholic
church in San Francisco, and after going
through said ceremony did thereupon
assume certain habit or robe and bonnet
such as Catholic nuns usually wear.
This society, the complaint says, en-
gagged publicly in the work of main ain
ing orphans and rescuing abandoned chill
dren, and solicited and received con-
tributions AMI help from the community
as we'll as from the State OF California !;
that by their joint efforts large and valua-
bic assets were accumulated consisting
principally OF the IaHu at the nortn west
corner of Buena Vista and Central ave-
nues in this City, together with the i'm
provements thereon; but that the title to
said property was taken in the name of
Bridget Mines in trust for the society and
was purchased solely by funds owned by
the society.
In 1894 the society was incorporated
with the five original mem bers as direc-
tors Thereafter Yvonne Griffith and
Alma Schuman were admitted as men,
bers OF the corporation.
Bridget Mines is and has been the presi-
dent of the corporation, and the COM
plant charges that she has refused to give
a title of the property to the society,
but that she has threatened to dispose of

Road Rules for BicycIists.

A prominent wheel company has
compiled the following road rules
l. In meeting riders, pedestrians and
vehicles, keep to the right In over
taking and passing them, keep to the
left
:. In turning corners to the left, al
ways keep to the outside of the street
3. In turning corners to the right,
keep as far out as possible without
trespassing on the left side of the road
4. Never expect pedestrians to get
out of your way: find a way around
them.
.. Never ride rapidly by an electric
car. standing to unload passengers.
q. Never coast down a Hill having
cross streets along the way.
I. Never ring your bell except to
give notice OF your approach.
$. In meeting other riders ascending
hill. where there is but one path, al
ways yield the right of way to the up
riders.
y. Bear in mind that rider meet
ing an electric car carrying a strong
headlight is unable to see beyond the
light; keep out of his way.
10. When riding straight ahead,
never vary your course suddenly to the
right or left without first assuring
yourself that no other rider is close in
your rear on the side toward which
YOU turn.
II. Always ring your bell in overtak-
ing riders and pedestrians to give
warning of your approach. This does
not mean that they are to get out OF
your way.
Il. Do not ride too close to a novice.
and in meeting a novice give plenty OF
room.
H. When riding after dark always
carry n lantern.
