RED CROSS SOCIETY.
A Branch to be Organized Here To-
morrow.

At half-past o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon the women of the city are to
meet at Pythian Castle for the pur-
pose of forming a local branch of the
Red Cross Society, to provide for the
welfare of the volunteers who have en-
listed for the war
In San Francisco the Red Cross ladies
have gathered and sent to the soldiers
in camp many useful and cessary ar
ticles that are not included in the ordi-
nary outfit of the soldier. 1t is a
praiseworthy work and one that is
Just suited to the women of the country.
In short time the California Vol
unteers will be many thousand miles
from home, on the farther side of the
Pacific Ocean, and then they will great
ly appreciate these little comforts and
conveniences.
It has been suggested that among the
things to be sent the soldiers there
should be good supply of reading
matter. English literature is probably
not very plentiful in or about Manila,
and the men should have reading mat
ter with which to pass away the dull
days and months of camp life. Mag
azines, novels, etc., should be available
in large numbers, and Sacramentans
should see that their friends in the
army are we'll supplied.

The first telephotos used in the Unit
ed States navy was put on the Maine
for experimental tests. That instru-
ment demonstrated the value of the tel
ephotos, and the keyboard and lamps
that were used at that time are now
in the offices OF the Boughton Telepho-
tos Company, in Buffalo. The Maine
was the first vessel regularly equipped
with the telephotos, and this first set
used by the navy now lies at the bot
tom of the murky waters of Havana
harbor.
Since the adoption of the telephotos
by the Navy Department rush orders
have been sent to Buffalo, and the
shops are running night and day. Full
sized sets are being turned out by
the dozen for battleships and cruisers,
the auxiliary navy, and for the coast
Notifications, while sets of the same
pattern, but of smaller size, called the
'baby telephotos,'' are being prepared
for use on torpedo boats, tugs and
launches.
The English naval authorities, with
their usual acumen, have been even
more prompt to appreciate the advan-
tages of the telephotos than the Navy
Department of the United States, and
four of the finest battleships of the
English navy-the Magnificent, the
Majestic, the Revenge and the Ramil-
lies-are already equipped with the tel
ephotos In the present necessity the

John would watch over him until he
was able to walk.
One day the old creature came to the
bridge alone. She was in a strange and
| unusual state of excitement, and made
no attempt to sell any papers. She
sought out "Nosey'' Geoghegan, and in
her half paralyzed way of speaking
| made him understand that she wanted
him to go with her. and "Nosey," not
being a bad fellow at heart, only lit
tie loud-mouthed at times, took Aunt
John by the arm and walked with her
to the tenement
On a cot under the window lay the
kid" His wan hands were crossed
over his breast, and between his fin
ger tips was a faded daguerreotype,
which the old woman tenderly removed
and handed to 'Nosey." The newsboy
saw the picture of a fair haired boy,
with wide open eyes, and he looked at
the child on the bed. The likeness be-
tween the two was startling enough to
impress even the unimpressionable
"Nosey," but, of course, the daguerreo-
| type was that of another boy, for on
| the back was pasted a slip of paper, on
which was written: My darling boy,
John, died July 3, 1868, aged Z years
and months, the day his father was
killed at Gettysburg
When 'Nosey" looked again he real
lied that the Kid" whom he thought
to be asleep, so peaceful was the smile
on his parted lips, was dead. Aunt
John was on her knees alongside Of the
cot, with her withered hand resting in
ert on the floor and her living arm
thrown over the corpse, while the fad
| ed picture was pressed to her lips. She
got up after awhile and made 'sNosey'
understand that she wanted an under
taker, so he went out to get one, and
| incidentally to relate his experiences to
his fellows, who Immediately made up
purse of 81 45, which four Of them
took to Aunt John, telling her in their
rough way that it was to buy ''wreat'
of flowers fur de kid" She took the
| money, and greatly to the surprise Of
the donors, patted each one of them on
the head.
On the Sunday following-this was
on Friday-there was a funeral from
the top floor of the tenement, and when
the undertaker's assistant carried out
the slender coffin he saw a daguerreo-
| type tied on the lid with a bit of twine,
and the old woman told him she wanted
it buried with the body. Her old heart
was broken and the remainder Of other
and happier days must be laid away
| with the memory. And the undertaken
did as she wished, and heaped the clods
on the coffin and the picture. Aunt
John was never seen at the bridge
again. She disappeared as suddenly
and as mysteriouSly as she came and
the boys to this day are of the odd and
homely opinion that she dried up and
bloWed away because grief turned her
blood to dust.-Vincent S. Cooke, in
New York Mail and Express.

The Man Who Scoffed.

He used TO scoff at women.
Called them foolish, brainless things,
Who would sell their souls for dresses,
Or for necklaces or rings.
He scorned them for their efforts
To be beautiful and sweet,
But there chanced to be a woman
Fate had destined him to meet.
She was neither good nor lovely,
Although he deemed her so;
She was mostly artificial,
But. poor fool. he didn't know!
To-day men look in pity
On the man who used to scott,
And wonder what will happen
When the mask
falls

Caheen's Spring Opening
 A Great Success

Yesterday was an ideal day for an open ing. It was warm and balmy, with the sweetness of fruit blossoms in the air. The trees were Haunting their new outfits ca priciously in the south wind, and all na- ture had awakened at the touch of tender spring. As with flowers, leaves and sweet D scented breezes, so with pretty girls, and consumed with a desire to see brilliant, beautiful things that tell of the coming of langourous summer
 So when Caheen's gerat establishment made-figuratively-its first formal spring bow to the community yesterday, there were groups and batallions of Birming- ham women ready to inspect, admire and then purchase the exquisite fabrics, which were exhibited in profusion in every di- rection in the big store.
 There were yards and yards of richly col ored taffeta silks, for the inevitable shirt waists; bales of rare grenadines quanti- ties of elegant brocaded silks; woolen fab- rics for every purpose, from the tailor gown to the bathing suit; fresh, bright ginghams; crisp muslins and organdies; piques galore; embroideries, laces, and whatever woman's taste demands.
 The millinery department was very at tractive with hats of all shapes, all sizes, and for all occasions.
 The immense windows of Caheen's estab- lishment were surrounded all day with a curious, eager, admirng throng and no wonder
 They were artistically draped with beau- tiful, shimmerng silks; with faces and gorgeous ribbons, and wherever there was space, tempting shirt waist enticed some woman to covetous desires.
 Today the opening will continue and will probably attract as great crowd as that of yesterday.

Memorial Services in Honor
 Of Frances E. Willard

The services at the First Baptist church Sunday afternoon commemorative of the life and achievements of Miss Francis E. Willard, were simple and beautiful. They were singuia-ly appropriate, intended as they were to honor woman, one Of whose dominant cbaraeterlstics was her absolute simplicity and freedom from affectation and ostentation.
 A wealth of palms stood about and around the platform. The pulpit was beau- tifed with masses of purple .violets, and tall vase held lovely specimens of white and purple hyacinths
 On the left of the pulpit, surrounded with palm branches, was a white shield, upon which in purple letters were those last words uttered by Mrs. Willard: "Oh, How Beautiful to Be With Godl'
 On the right of the organ was framed picture of Mrs. Willard-life size-which was draped with soft, white silk, with sprays of ferns caught in the folds.
 A large congregation attested the inter- est felt in the community In the work of this remarkable woman. Men, women and children seemed imbued with the pathos or the occasion, and were anxious to testlty by their presence to their admiration TOT a woman who had accomplished so much for the human race.
 The choir of the First Baptist churcn nau charge of the music, and the delightful rem dition of the old familiar hymns, "A Charge to Keep I Have" Lead Kindly Light, and the soprano solo by Miss Fallon, "The Holy City" added greatly to the beauty of the services.
 Mrs. C. B. Spencer, Mrs. W. H. Jeffries, Rev. pr. B. D. Gray, Rev. Dr. A B. Curry and Rev. Dr. G. c. Kelly occupied seats on the platform.
 Mrs. Spencer spoke tenderly and beautl- fully of the life and influence of Miss Will lard and of the irreparable loss sustained by the W. c. T. U. in her death. Mrs. w. H. Jeffries read a biographical sketch or the wonderful temperance leader. Mrs. Y. A. Hamilton read the poem, "We Follow That Way" with pathos and sympathy, and Mrs. William Redd gave several testi- monials to Miss Willard's genius from dis tinguished men.
 Dr. Gray read the scrlptural lesson, and during the time allotted to the services DTS. Curry and Kelly made very eloquent ad- dresses, which were exquisite tributes to Miss Willard as woman, Christian, leader, and as a richly, rarely endowed, in tellectual genius. The services closed with the singing of the hymn, "Blest Be the Tie Which Binds by the choir and congre- gation, after which Dr. Gray pronounced the benediction.
 The meeting, which proved such a success, was arranged and directed by Mrs. C. B. Spencer, the untiring state president Of the w. c. T. U.
