STREAMING A FRIENDSHIP.
A story which Snapped the BOndS
That United Two Sweet
Young Things.

They were standing at the counter, and
couldn't help but hear.
"Talk about hard luck" said the girl
with the hot chocolate "I know a wom-
an who had an awful thing happen to her
over in New York"
oh, do tell me about it," gurgled the
girl with the ice cream soda.
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "she's
not wealthy at all, you know, and she
doesn't keep a nurse. So, one day, when
she had to go down town shopping, she took
her baby and left it at one of these day
nursery creche places. They gave her a
check for it, and she went off shopping. She
didn't come back to the creche till late in
the afternoon, and when she went to take
out the check it was gone"
Good gracious" said the girl with the
ice cream soda, looking shocked. "What
did she do?"
We'll" went on the chocolate girl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
check, and she'd have to wait till the other
babies were taken away, and then she could
| have what was left. So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that-well,
the only baby left was colored baby"
"Oh, how perfectly awful" exclaimed
the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents
OF horror. What did she do? Wasn't she
perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor-
rible! Didn't she ever get her baby back
again? should think she'd have been per-
fectly crazy. What did she do?"
"Oh, said the chocolate girl, coolly, "she
took the colored baby. 1t was hers. She
was colored, you know"
And in the silence which followed 1 could
hear the swapping of the bonds of tender
and lifelong friendship. Post.

Found the Eleventh Corpse.

Cleveland, July 19.-The remains of
John Parks, the eleventh victim of the
tunnel horror, were recovered about
noon Monday. The remains of Parks
were found under the scaffold which
was being set in place where the ex.
plosion occurred. All of the clay that
had fallen from the root of the tunnel
had to be removed before his remains
could be gotten out. Owing to being
buried in the clay the remains were
not in as bad condition as the Others
that were taken out last week.

An Interesting Debate Carried on in the
 Reichstag.
Socialists Do Not Hesitate to Assails Acts of Kings in
 the Past.
Herr Rebel Resents the Statement That the Contestants in 1S4S
 Were "Rabble."
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN. March 1S-In the Reichs- tag to-day, during the debate or the bill providing for the reform of courts martial, Herr Rebel, the Socialist lead CT, started a discussion on the subject of the fiftieth anniversary of the reVo- lution Alluding to the privileges en- joyed by military officers, he reminded his hearers of "the revolution of March Is, 1S4S, when the people fought TOT their liberty and rights"
 The Minister of War, General Won Gessler and Herr Munnckel, Peoples party, followed, while the president or the House, Baron yCn Buel-Lorenburg' intervened and declared that he did not wish to deny the significance Of the day, but at the request of the subse- quent speakers, he could not allow 1t 10 become the chief point of discussion.
 Baron Von Flumm declared the Prus- sian constitution was the free gift of the king.
 Herr Bebel. amid an uproar. said the combatants of 1S4S were described as "rabbIe." This, he asserted, was in famous. Continuing, Herr Rebel as- serted that if the struggles of 1S4S had attained their object, the events Of 1870 would not have been necessary. The King, the speaker, alleged, had also shown signs of incapacity in 1S4S, and even pr. Miquel, the Minister of Finance, was then on the side of the revolution. Herr Rebel then remarked: "If the promises made had been fulfill ed, no Bismarck would have been re- quired But the King betrayed"
 The president of the Reichstag here intervened and called the speaker to order.
 Resuming his remarks, Herr Bebel said: "The men of the old National Union are now silent. The King Of Prussia, by the grace of God made a clean sweep in 1860. The people also have the right to make clean sweep some day"
 Dr. Benningsen, leader of the Ma tional Liberal party, said royalty had certainly suffered a severe reverse on March IS, 1S4S. But, he added, that day had l title significance in the develop ment of German affairs. He then refer red to the part the future Emperor William played and to the fact that Bismarck had helped to found Ger many.

MT. John Atkinson, Attorney General and NJ. P. for North Derry County. He has in this matter a pretty hard card to play, for he is at once Q memeber of a Ministry which has apparently re- solved to take the plunge of giving a wide measure of local self government to Ireland, and the representative in the House of commons or an Ulster con- stituency from which have come omi- nous signs of a revolt against that same administ: ation for that reason. But, MT. Atkinson is a very eminent lawyer; he will probably never be obliged to seek election at the hands of his constituents; and. accordingly, he has so far refused for various reasons to budge an inch. As time goes on, he may be forced by Orange bigotry to take such a course. But the bill has not been withdrawn, and it will not be. As time goes on, MT. Atkinson may be forced to appear to fashion himself in the garments of the Orange part of Ul- ster. But he will do so with reluctance. Meanwhile he and the brothers Balfour may be regarded as the rramers of the bill which I have been discussing, and to me. at least it seems that all three are equally in earnest in endeavoring to fulfill the pledges to Ireland in which so many of their party have indulged for at least the last twelve years.

Committee of Ladies Will at Once Begin a Canvass
 of the City.
RESULT NOT IN DOUBT.
PrOject of the Ten Thousand Club Meeting With Much
 Favor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, March 18.-San Ra- was practically assured at mass meeting of citizens tonight, at which it was decided to leave the matter to a committee of ladies. As the ladies are enthusiastically in favor of the car nival, it is easy to foretell what their decision will be. The men stand ready to aid and abet them in the project to the fullest extent of their influence and purses, and with this combination pledged in it's support the beautiful suburban resort will soon send out in vitations to it's sister cities far and near to attend one of the most magnifi- cent fetes ever given in this part of the State.
 The suggestion to hold rose carni- val here originated with the Ten Thou sand Club, an organization of business men and capitalists, having for its ob- ject the advancement of this city. The idea was hailed with approval by all classes and the result was a call fer a mass meeting for this evening to take steps preliminary to it's consummation.
 When H. F. Wood, president of the Ten Thousand Club, stepped forward to call the meeting to order, the body Of the hall was filled with representative ladies and gentlemen. Mir Wood an

Wholesalers Lea ague.

The Manufacturers and Wholesalers League, which is branch of the Manu- facturers' and Producers Association, has sent out about 5000 invitations to mer- chants living in distant parts of the coun- try to come. to this city and State to make their purchases of goods for the en- suing season. These invitations are ac- companied by inducements of their fare back to their homes free of charge in the event of their making purchases here The scheme proved a success last wear and 1t is believed 1t will be more f,uc- cessfui this season; The period during which these invitations holds good begins to-day and will last until April 16 Those travelling on the steamship lines up and down the coast will be able to take ad- vantage of the offer until May 16. It is believed that many merchants in Mon tana, New Mexico. Arizona, Oregon and the State of Washington will take ad- vantage of the offer and come to this city to make their purchases, and thus cut out a lot of drummers of Eastern houses who have for so long monopolized all of the trade, to the detriment of the Cali fOrnia manufacturers

STABBED IN CHINATOWN.
Toy You, a Vegetable Vender, Foully
 Assaulted by Joy Wee Pawn.

Chinatown was the scene .of another stabbing affray last night. Toy You, a vegetable vender. was found in an un- conscious condition by the police in front of BIO Dupont street.

chosen chairman of the meeting by ac- clamation, and MT. L. A. Lancet was elected secretary.
 MT. Sonntag. on taking the chair spoke of the benefits derived by city from such an attraction, and predicted that San Rafael would give fest1va equal in splendor to any ever held 1T the State if her citizens took hold of il in the proper spirit. He concluded by calling for an expression of opinion from the ladies as well as from the gentlemen present.
 MT. A. W. Foster was called upon and said the success of such an affair depended upon the support of every man and woman. He promised his aid and thought the other gentlemen would do the same; but 1t would require more than that, and he thought that the best plan would be to enlist the cooperation of the ladies. If they took up the work the carnival was bound to be a success.
 MT. Robert Furlong, County Superin- tendent of Schools, said he thought the enthusiasm of the citizens would grow with the flowers that would crown the festival with their beauty and frag- rance. Other cities, he said, had held successful flower shows, and why should not San Rafael with her wealth of blossoms hold a carnival that would eclipse all others. He was confident such a fete would be great success. The executive committee or the Ten Thousand Club. he said, had discussed many plans and was willing to bear the brunt of the hard work if the people would lend their support.
 Charles B. Tidball of San Francisco, who has had a wide experience In pro- noting similar fetes, was present on invitation of the citizens, and briefly outlined a programme covering two IT l.{ tA ho trl expense of such a feSyIval was not so great as to cause any misapprehension, but the one thing necessary to insure success was the co-operation or every body. All classes must unite for the common good.
 MT. T. B. Boyd elicited loud applause when he said that the business men were unit for the carnival. After @ MT. George H. Foster, Postmaster w. N. Anderson, Assemblyman M. Canavan and others had expressed their ap- proval of the project, MT. A. w. Foster suggested that a committee of ladies be selected to assist in the work. He thought it would be advisable to divide the city into districts and have the la dies canvass the town thoroughly and report at a future meeting upon the sentiment of the people. It was stated that the Ten Thousand Club had named an auxiliary committee or ladleS TOT the purpose, and it was decided that that committee should be delegated to work on the plans outlined.
 The committee of ladies who will take the matter in hand is as follows: Mesdames A. w. Foster, G. H. Foster, c. Christensen. w. s. Dreypolcher, l.. A. Lancet, D. H. Whittemore. l.. J. Ham, G. E. Butler, William Elliott and Henry Harrison and Miss Jessie FL liott. These ladies are all stanch sup porters of the carnival and promise that if it's success depends upon their exertions San Rafael will give dis play to be proud of.
