 NOBLE WORK Project of California's s
 Daughters. HOME FOR SICK MEMBERS HOW THE RELIEF FUND WILL
 BE UTILIZED. Grand Parlor in Session at Woodland Decides to Hold Its Next
 Annual Meeting at
 Stockton.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WOODLAND, June 15.-One feature or this session of the Grand Parlor of Native Daughters that has a vital in- terest for every member of the order will be the consideration of a new line of work which the board of relief will formulate. The board of relief is an incorporate body and was organized in accordance with a recommendation adopted by the Grand Parlor at its sixth annual session, held at Sacra- mento in 1892. 1t consists of fifteen members, appointed from that Grand Parlor body, and its financial start in life was bequest of $500, received from the estate of $. P. Rodgers for charitable purposes. The main objects of the board are to relieve sick, dis tressed and worthy members of the or der. Its support Is derived from an annual tax on the subordinate parlors, and as the calls for relief have been very few and the tax has been regu- larly paid the fund has gradually grown until there is now on hand about $13000.
 The business affairs of the board are under the direction of nine directors, whose first officers were: President, Mrs. Tina L. Kane vice president Miss Mae B. Wilkin; secretary, Miss NJ. B. Johnson; treasurer. Mrs. Carrie R. Durham; and the same officers still fill the chairs, with the exception of Miss

and sent three dynamite shells one after another in the direction of the fort, Terrific explosions followed, each shell bursting on the impaCt and playing havoc where il struck.
 The fort attacked was the most powerful of any guarding the harbor, mounting several modern guns. In the darkness the Ameri- cans could not distinguish the point at which the shells struck, but they are certain the projec- tiles exploded very near the fort, if they did not actually hit it.
 This effective work by the We suvius was followed a few hours later by equally good work by the New Orleans. Captain Folger of the New Orleans reported to Ad- miral Sampson early last night that the SpaniardS were emplac- ing new guns to the eastward of Moro Castle, and he was or dered to make an attack on the new defenses at daylight this morning.
 When dawn came the New Orleans took a position with in three quarters of a mile of the new Qualifications and gave the Spaniards the hot test ten minutes they have experienced since the war began.
 The range was found at the first shot and in minute the crest of the hill was being swept by a hurricane of shells. In a few seconds the Spanish position was obscured by the smoke from bursting missiles, but the work of the New Orleans gunners was magnificent. Every shell struck the top of the parapet, bursting over its defenders.
 The battery was silenced in three minutes, but the firing was continued until the signal of re- call was hoisted on the flagship. The New Orleans was uninjured.
