DIVORCED MEMS CLUB.

California Society Organized to Save
"Good Fellows From Matrimony.,'
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 1S.-A
number of well known men of Oakland,
the fashionable residence suburb across
the bay, are members of the Divorced
Mems Club of Alameda. The existence of
the club has just been made public
through the election of Stanley Stephen
son as director IN place of Capt. A. w.
Won Schmitt who recently killed his wife
and himself. The members hold regular
meetings, congratulate one another on be-
ing free, and sympathiZe with those who
are married. Aside from sociability, the
members are sworn to impress on man
kind the dangers of matrimony and to
give those inclined that way the benefit
of their sad and narrowing experiences.
Among the well known members besides
Stephenson are Baron Alfred Barontean.
James Kellenberger, Joseph Maristaney.
and George Lowenthal. Their expert
ences have been decidedly varied. Ste
phenson's wife opposed his use of tobacco.
and separation followed. Maristaney had
to go through the divorce mill several
times, but now he is an enthusiastic
member of the club. The baron's wife
insisted that she paid the honeymoon

from allowing love to get the better of
their judgment. We have saved a num-

IF Emperor William refuses any sort
OF a tribunal the conference will prob
ably go on without him, but his openly

deplorable effect this would have in the

BILE to the religious argument, and per-
haps this will be the lever that will move
him. At any rate, If the worst comes
to the worst, the conference will invite
him to sign the convention with reser-

self only to use the peace conference
procedure in an eventual arbitration.
The correspondent of the Times, at

Vail was thirty-four years of age and

conference with M. Lepine, former pre-
feet of police Of Paris.
M. Waldeck-Rosseau is meeting with
considerable difficulty, but he appears de-
termined He will confer with M. Lou
bet again, probably tomorrow morning,
before submitting a list of colleagues.
Of the three former premiers consulted,
Maurice Rouvier, who was president OF
the council of ministers and minister of
finance in 1887 alone consented to take
portfoMo Felix Meline informed him that
he failed to see how his appointment as
premier would bring about solution OF
the crisis Henri Brisson has contented
himself with promising support and ex-
pressing good wishes.
M. Waldeck-Rosseau waited upon M.
Casimir-Perier and earnestly endeavored
to induce him to accept the portfolio of
war on the ground that his presence at
the ministery of war would simplify the
difficulties of the situation. Thereupon M.
Casimir-Perier consulted with the presi-
dent. who pointed out to him. that he
would be able to exercise more authority
than anyone else over the generals In
destroying the germs of irritation. Cast
mir-Perier replied that he had definitely
withdrawn from politics. but neverthe-
less would undertake to consider the mat
ter.
M. Waldeck-Rosseau was notified of
this reply, which gives him full liberty
to constitute cabinet Of Republican
union.
The question now is whether he will
go so far as to include Socialist in the
ministry. He has been disposed to do
so and no doubt his view will prevail.
1t is said that Clement FaIlieres. presi-
dent of the senate informed NJ. Loubet
this afternoon that the senate seemed
opposed to the inclusion of Alexander
Millerand. the Radical Socialist, In the
cabinet.

Rosseau fails the president will again
summon M. Poinoare, whom he has
asked to remain in Paris at his tM.
