Work in Committee
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1.-THE commit
tee on resolutions is in session at the Gold
en- Eagle hotel tonight digesting a great
volume of political contributions submitted
to them as material to aid them In the con-
struction of the platform. They have be-
fore them not only the resolutions referred
to them by the convention, but several pa
pers handed in by outside parties and dele
cations. The Federated trades ask for a
declaration In favor of putting the printers
union label on ali work ordered by the
Democratic party or its candidates and

the legal representation Of the Democracy

factions. The minority report recon.
mended that both organizations in San
Francisco be disbanded and that meas.
ures be taken for the organization of a

at the conclusion of Major Harney's
speech. and presided until debate began un-
der the five-minute rule
The only sensational incident during the
debate occurred when Mayor Phelan was
interrupted by Major Harvey. The Mayor
having stated that the boss, who was the
fountain head Of corruption. had intimate
relations with the men who were knocking
at the doors of the convention for admis-
sion, Harvey stepped forward and asked
whether Mr.. Phelan included Patrick j.
Harvey among the men having such init
mate relations.
Mr.. Phelan replied: "Mr. Harvey is at
the head of the contesting delegation. I
know he has been one of our most redoubt-
able opponents. / know that we went In

WOMAN AND HOME.
FIRST woMAN's CLUB.


| n Was Founded In philadelphia over
Century Ago.
The first woman's club founded in
America, or at least the first about
which we have authentic information,
was held in the city of Penn 102 years
ago, under the name of THE Female
Society for the Relief and Improvement
OF the Poor" 1t was begun and organ
lied by Quaker spinster, Anne Parish,
who was born in 1760 and died just be-
fsre che nineteenth century began, at
the end of the year 1900. The society
consisted first Of -'23 young. accom-
plished women of the best families. who,
met every week to go about among the
poor and needy. When the city was
visited by yellow fever, shortly after
the formation of the club, the mettle
OF its members was tried and found to
ring true, while most who had the
means fed from the town, these %
Quaker women stayed with Anne Par
ish and fought the plague, raising
money, visiting the dying, clothing the
well and comforting the bereaved.
From that time to the present the So
ciety has endured and continued ID the
work thus early initiated; the grand
daughters and granddaughter
of the first founders, who have inherited
the club membership along with their
Quaker traditions, their fine old family
names that still count in Philadelphia
society, are now preparing to celebrate
the clubs one hundred and second
birthday. The membership is passed
down through the eldest daughter, and
the methods are not altered from those
first chosen; there is no president nor
vice president, the only officers being
two clerks, treasurer and commit
tee of 10; the prominent work OF the
club is the maintenance of a "house
of industry" where nearly 100 old
Quaker women of INDECENT circum-
stances 20 daily to sew, knit and mend
in comfortable quarters in the house on
North Seventh street, which the club
has lodged in since the middle OF this
century. The women are paid good
wages for their work and are given a
good meal in the middle of the day, be-
sides being provided with easy-chairs
while they work The society women
provide them with sewing and bachelors
send thther for their mending.-Phil-
adelpha Ledger.
