liant study by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins
Stetson is ranked by critics as one of
the most powerful of American short
stories 1t is a strangely fascinating
study of the subtle effect of physical
environment upon a sensitive woman
who lacked decision enough to insist
upon change of surroundings, when
it was possible for her to have it.
The pathetic denoument of the story
carries out Mrs. Stetson's theory re-
garding the danger to women of stiff
ing individuality.

''The Study of America" by Heze-
kiah Butterworth, is a book that must
find great favor in American homes
and schools. The author is justly re-
garded as one of the greatest educa-
tors on the Western continent. He
spent a number Of years in the South
American Republics investigating
their school systems. The history is
carried down to the close of the His
pano-American war, and is really his
tory in it's most fascinating form-the
story. 1t treats of many little things
that have had great influence in the
history of our country. but which are
passed over as unimportant by the
average historian whose mind is
athirst for details. The pages of this
interesting book glow with patriotic

ORGANIZATION Effected and a Few
Plans Submitted.
No Conclusion Reached and Another Meeting
Will Be Held To-Day-Harbor Bond
Bill Passed.

He held that the statement that the
people of the State demanded eau
Gus could not be verified. He thought
it was all well enough to talk about
supporting Mckinley, but he thought
care ought to be taken to elect man
who would support him.
Assemblyman Belshaw was next, and
he is said to have expressed himself
to the effect that the members ought
to agree upon some good man who had
not as yet been mentioned for the po-
sition, and then elect him. BelshaW
said he could name such man, but
upon invitation declined so to do.
Assemblyman Melick stated that the
members ought to look the situation
squarely in the face, and ought to view
candidates as they are. He suggested
that one Of the two following plans be
adopted:
First-That all the Republican can
didates for the Senatorship whose
names have been presented before the
Legislature retire, and a caucus be
held, at which the vote of the majority
should rule, on the understanding that
no man who has so far received vote
for the Senatorship shall be the choice
of the caucus; or,
|. Second-Let a caucus be held, before
which all shall be candidates. but at
which it shall require sixty votes to
nominate.
Melicks was about the only plan
proposed, and as the hour was late it
was agreed to adjourn, and to continue
the conference this afternoon at i
o'clock.
Absolutely no agreement of any kind
was reached.

IN SENATE YESTERDAY.
Amendments Stricken From the
Humane Society," Bill

In the Senate yesterday morning ac-
ton on S. B. 40 relating to negotiable
instruments, and adding new provisions
to the laws relating to the same, which
was a special order, was, at request OF
the author (Stratton), postponed until
this morning.
An urgency resolution by Stratton,
providing for immediate consideration
of S. B. 721, to amend Section 1875 Of
the Political Code. relating to the elec-
ton Of delegates to conventions Of po-
litical parties at elections known and
designated as primary elections, was
adopted and the bill was read the Sec
ond and third time
Stratton, in answer to questions by
Smith, stated that the bill was supple
mentary to the other primary election
bill, and was merely intended to repeal
the penalty clause in existing laws II
was further stated that the suggestion
for such a bill came from the Governor.
Smith protested against the passage
of any bill which was as senseless as
the one under consideration He said
If the Governor proposed to veto the
other primary election bills unless the
present one was passed, that was his
own business.
Shortridge said that while opposed
to all such legislation he proposed to
vote for the bill to giva the people a
| chance to get practical idea Of the
absurdity of it all.
Stratton spoke for the bill and the
roll was called.
Davis in voting no, said he did so
not because he was opposed to the
principle of the matter, but because
the bill proposed to amend an Act
which had not yet been passed. He
thought the proper way to get at the
matter would be to rush through the
Assembly bill and then pass upon it
after other bills bearing on the SUBJ
| ject had been disposed Of.
| The bill was passed-27 to g Title
approved.

Away back in the long ago when the

the wonder of every neighborhood into

The machine agent set his price high

that he should, for methods of manufac

The conference of Republican mem
day afternoon, the Assembly chamber
being forced into use for the occasion.
It was held under the call issued by
General Dickinson, heretofore published
in the Record Union under which no
action which might be taken would be
binding upon the members who at
tended.
Indeed 1t was intended only to get
the members of the several factions to-
gether and talk over the Senatorial sit
uation-discuss possible means and
methods by which the strain could be
relieved and the existing deadlock
broken.
Seventy of the eighty-five mem
bers were present at the conference,
which was behind closed doors, news
paper and all other men who were not
members and who did not affiliate with
the Republican party, being excluded.
1t was perfectly understood that no
member would be bound by any action
Of the majority, hence there was no
reason for guarded expression on the
part of those present.
Senator Dickinson, who issued the
call, raped the conference to order
and Senator Cutter took the initiative
by nominating President pro tenn of the
Sci ate Flint for Chairman. Flint was

biyman Lardner, being nominated for
Secretary by Assemblyman Belshaw,

neatly and Devote were chosen Ser
geants-at-A Arms and kept vigilant
watch on the doors.
ASSEM- lyman Works of San Diego
offered a resolution requiring all bal
lots to be taken by roll call, when the
same was demanded by three mem
bers. Adopted
A resolution by Assemblyman
Crowder, a Grant man, seconded by As
semblynlan Radcliffe, to the effect that
newspaper men be admitted, was lost
by a vote of 81 to As.
After the members of the press had
been carefully excluded, the general
discussion of the Senatorial situation
was begun, and Assemblyman Cosper
is alleged to- have opened the ball in an
eloquent and fiowery effort, in which
he pointed out the necessity of assist
ing and strengthening McKinley's adj
ministration. by electing a Senator
in touch with that Admins
tration. He submitted that the
only way to elect such Senator would
be to go into caucus
Senator Davis is understood to have
spoken next, and scored Cosper hold
ing that 1t was easy to talk patriot
ism and demand that the Administra-
ton be supported, but he thought it
very raw to believe that the newspa-
pers could accurately voice the de-
mands of the people composing the
party, when they could not tell what
the people wanted He said it was the
business of the members to elect a
Senator, and that was about all there
was to it.
Senator Morehouse is said to
have spoken at considerable
length. He is understood to have
stated that there was no good to be de-
rived from longer continuing the split
in the party. He thought it was time
to harmonic and arrive at some sort of
agreement. He, however, did not men
ton a caucus.
Senator Cutter, it is said, went on
record as being opposed to a caucus.

Why is this? Is there any good,

ing machines should not be sold precisely
the same as any other article of merchau-

We believe not. And we have the
courage to put our belief to the test.
We buy machines on wholesale plan
and we sell them at small reasonable
advance over the cost of manufacture.
The result is that our prices on we'll
known machines are just half those asked
by the so called 'agents" throughout the
Pacific Coast. We have but one price
and that is marked in large plain figures.
We exchange no old machines for new
ones. We sell no second hand machines.
Every machine we sell is of the latest
make and is guaranteed by ourselves and
