Charles w. Fay, the young politician who enjoys the reputation of being the mouthpiece through which the whis- pering boss issues his orders to the rank and file of the Committee of One Hundred, was not present at the meet ing of the committee last evening, and as a consequence the business of the meeting was marked by so many hitches and false moves that Chairman Dunn confessed himself considerably annoyed.
 The business before the committee was the nomination of candidates for appointment as delegates to, the State Convention. One hundred delegates were appointed Friday night, one by each member of the committee, leav- ing fifty-three to be appointed by the committee acting as a body. From the list of Democrats placed in nomination last night these fifty-three delegates will be selected Monday night. Aside from frequent stoppages due. to the non-appearance of MT. Fay, the pro- ceedings were not marked by any in cident worthy of a Democratic gather

Southern Pacific Company Makes an Attempt to Or
 Uanize Political Clubs.

The political bureau of the Southern Pacific Company has evolved new scheme of doing politics which, It hopes. will result in the herding of sever al thousand voters into the corporation corral. In this and other cities of the State an attempt is being made to or ganize the employees of the railroad into political clubs, the ostensible purpose be- ing the protection of the interests or the men. The real purpose Is, however to line the men up on the question of "freights and fares" as associated with the election of the next State Board of Railroad Commissioners.
 That the men are not taking kindly to the proposition Is made apparent by the results of a recent meeting in Sacramen- to. About three hundred employees or the railroad attended the meeting and par ticipated in the organization up to the point where it became necessary to pro- vide ways and means" When it was suggested that an assessment Of 20 cents dred of those present deserted the meet ing in a body. The following "call, un- der which these meetings are being held. discloses the purpose of the railroad con- pany:
 Whereas, It Is apparent to all railway em- ployes that they must use tnelr polltlcal m terests, therefore, we, the undersigned railway employees of Sacramento division and vicinity, do pledge ourselves to work In unison for the end above described, and In furtherance of such object will form club through which to act, rules and regulations following, viz

LOVE MAKING IN PUBLIC
FRENCH BRIDES AND GRooMS KISS AND
HUG EACH OTHER FREELY
In PUBLIC

1t is evident, from her letter to the
February Ladies Home Journal, tha,
MISS Lillian Bell finds much in Paris to
interest and amuse her. Among other
thir gs that are rather novel to an
American, 'one sees, she writes,
the comical sight of a French bride
and Bridegroom, in all the glory of their
bridal array-white satin, veil and
Orange blossoms-driving through the
streets in open cabs and hugging and
kissing each other with an unctuous
freedom which is apt to throw con-
servatiye American into Spasm of
laughter.
In deed the frank and candid way
that love-making goes on in public
among the lower classes is so amaz-
ing that at first you think you never In
this world will become accustomed 10
il, but you get accustomed to a great
many strange sights in Paris. lfa Kiss
eXplodes with unusual violence in a
cab near mine il sometimes scares the
horse, but it no longer disturbs me in
the least. My nervousness over that
