The pretty parlors of the Native Daugh-
ters' Home at 925 O'Farreu street we're
crowded last night by friends Of the in
stitution, who assembled on the invitation
of Orc Fino Parlor to enjoy the book
social given for the purpose of starting
library for the home. Each person who
accepted the invitation was requested TO
bring bound book, which would be ac-
sion. The books as received were placed
in pile, and by the time the last one was
handed to the attendant in charge there
were enough to fill several shelves.
There were a number of the prominent
members of the Native Daughters pres
ent For the entertainment of all there
was presented a programme which had
for its features: Piano solo, Miss Helen

committee of the home, during the evening
delivered an address on the subject of the
new institution and fully explained in
comprehensive manner its purpose, and
urged upon the Native Daughters to unite
in their efforts to make it a success.
The affair, which was arranged by Mrs.

other parlors TO emulate ORC Fino in eX-
tending a helping hand to the home.

STRICKEN DOWN
WITH PARALYSIS
CAPTAIN DELANY SUDDENLY
ATTACKED AT BYRON.
The Stroke, Which Came Upon the
Ex-Supervisor Unexpectedly, Is
Serious but Not Neces-
sarilY Fatal.

Ex-Supervisor Captain P. NJ. Deiany,
Familiarity termed the "Cappun," is lying
at his home, 1910 Mission street, in a
critical condition, having been stricken
with paralysis on Wednesday last at By
ron Springs, whittier he had gone to en-
joy a rest. The stroke, which came upon
Captain Delany suddenly and unexpect-
edly, has affected his left arm and the left
side of his face. The attack is quite Sc
rious, though not necessarily fatal, and
it will be some time before he will be
strong enough to be about.
For months past the captain has not
been feeling well, and last week his ply
sicians advised him to go to the springs
for a few weeks. AS soon as he was
stricken with paralysis Captain Delany
sent for DR.. Ragan, who Immediately
went to the springs. On arriving there
DR.. Ragan found the captains condition
very much worse than his friends in this
city expected.
His condition yesterday, however, was
considerably improved, and DR.. Ragan de-
cfded to remove his patient to his home
in this city. On arriving at the Oakland
Mole last night the 'cappun" and DR..
Ragan were met by ex-Supervisor Shee-
han who had a carriage in waiting. Cap
tain Delanys residence was literally be-
sieged last night by his many friends who

COMMISSIONER NORTH
SCATHINGLY REBUKED
CALLED DOWN BY SECRETARY
OF THE TREASURY.
Suit Against Captain Van oterendorp
for Alleged Violation of 1mm1-
grafton Laws Dismissed.

immigration Commissioner North has
been once more raped over the knuckles
bv the Secretary of the Treasury for an
other Of his annoying blunders.
The rap has arrived in the shape Oh a
communication from the Secretary di-
recting United States Attorney Foote to
dismiss the suit brought by North some
time ago against Captain X. Van Oteren-
dorm of the steamship Alameda to recover
$4,000 penalty for the alleged unlawful
landing by the captain of three members
of his crew which North averred were
aliens and not entitled to land
When the suit was brought counsel Tor
the captain filed a protest with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury against the czarlke
methods of the local immigration Com
missioner, and made a statement asking
for an investigation of the mares nest
discovered by the astute Commissioner.
An investigation was had, with the result
as outlined. The Secretary says that he
is convinced that Captain Van Oterendorp
is not engaged in smuggling immigrants
into this port, and informs Mr. North that
two of the three men for which the pen
atty was sought to be collected are
American citizens and have a right to
land Notwithstanding the doubts of Mr..
North
The case has been dismissed according
". This is the second time that Commis-
sioner North has been called back to
earth when soaring among the crowned
heads of Europe, Asia and Africa, and
his fall has been very hard. His prede-
cessor, Mr.. Stradley, though a Democrat,
never made blunders such as those which
have elevated the present Commissioner
into his present unenviable nOtoriety.
