better mother" dnd Mrs. Carpenter leaned
back and looked as II there were volumes
more which could be said along the same
lines, It would certainly take volumes to
| describe in detail the spread and increase
| Of clubs since the national federation was
/ ORGANIZED.
| In 1890 the Original Society Of Colonial
/ Danes started clubdom along patriotic
lines and was closely followed by the
| Daughters Of the American Revolution,
the Daughters 81 the Revolution, the
Daughters Of 1912, Daughters Of the
Cincinnati and half a dozen others Of the
same character.
The Legislative League started In 1890,
the Professional Woman's League and the
Post Parliament Club we're both organized In
1892 ana the New England Society Of Women
started In this city in 1895 with fifteen mem
bers as against 700 on its roll to-day. The
Eclectic Club born in 1895 and Minerva, In
1898, are among the best known and most
popular Of the clubs counted in the State
federation list to-day.
The Eclectic Club approaches nearer
perhaps to being distinctly fashionable
than any Of the others. In the beginning
Of the club movement the c! arge was
frequently made by cavilling outsiders
that the club enthusiast was generally
to be distinguished by buttonless gloves
and frayed petticoats-a charge which
one member Of Sorosis, whose gloves in
truth were generally In a shocking oondi-
ton met by saying:
We'll il it comes to a question Of going
without gloves OF a club meeting, will
shed the gloves
II has come 10 pass, however, that the
average club woman Is no less smart In
her appearance than some Of the smart
women who turn their backs on clubs, and
indeed In the last few years IL Is not I'M
usual TO hear Of fashionable women suc-
cumbing to the fascinations Of club life.
In fact plans are now afoot 10 build a hand
some clubhouse for the exclusive use Of
a picked number OF women conspicuous
socially, This club, however, r. designed
to meet only the social requirements OF its
members. There Is nothing whatever In
lie bylaws 80 far as they are known. re-
lating TO he cultivation Of the intellect.
Ghe membership Of the Eclectic Club
Is now i5O and In two years more the limit,
200. will have been reached, for by a Hils
OF the club twenty-five new member, no
more, are 70 be taken In each year.
Mrs Dore Lyon, president Of the club,
In a chat regarding the expense attending
club life. said frankly:
II a woman belongs 10 a dozen or 10
clubs, naturally the outlay would be con-
siderable. i know many women who
belong 20 as many as that, and there is

Mr. Manning Is custodian Of the archives,
and in his possession Ia the tuna book
containing a written account Of every tuna
that has ever been caught by a member
Of the club. Here is documentary evidence
that cannot be disputed.
For instance, last summer Gordon Wiley
Of London, who had fished many waters in
different parts Of the world, came to Cata-
lima to try his luck. He arrived on July
and 6shed patiently every day. He had
several strikes. but it took him some time
TO get used to the peculiar habits Of the
fish, He had succeeded only in putting a
lot Of tackle out Of commission up 10 July
10, when he landed a tuna weighing io7
pounds.
Then he packed up and went back to
London, saying he had overstayed his time
by week, but would be on hand again
next season. And he doubtless will keep
bis word, for once the quest Of the tuna
gets into ones blood there Is no gainsay-
ing il.
Trolling for tuna is done entirely from
power launches. Live bait is used, prefera-
bly, flying fish. Good catches have been

themselves and To feed upon the flying
fish, for which they leap into the air with
all the zest Of the chase. Although for
years they had been caught spasmodicaily,
it was not until 1899 that several devotees
Of the sport conceived the idea Of organic
ing a club on competitive lines.
The member who caught the largest fish
during the season, from May TO Oct. l.,
was to become president Of the club and
TO receive a medal setting forth that
honor. Prof. Charles Frederick Holder
the naturalist and author, carried of the
prize that year, his Ash weighing lS3
pounds. The next year Col. Morehouse
landed his 251-pounder, emitting him to
the presidency and establishing a record
that has never been broken, a record that
every member Of the club secretly dreams
OF some day shattering.
Then the plans Of the club broadened,
and as the membership increased it was
feared that Col Morehouse might hold the
presidency indefinitely, 80 it was decided 60
hold annual meetings at which an election
Of officers should figure. This Is now done,
and cup is presented to the member who
makes the largest catch Of the season.
Since the organization Of the club the
honors have gone as follows:
Season OF 1909. Prof. Holder, Pasadena,
Cal, iss pounds.
Season of 1900. Col Morehouse. Pasadena.
Cal, PSI pounds.
season Of 1901. F. s. schenck. Brooklyn.
and F. V. Rider. Avalon. tied az Iis pounds
Season OF 1902. John L. Stearns. Los Angeles.
ls7 pounds.
Season Of 1908. H. E. Smith, New York.
and b. F. Alden. New York. tied at % pounds
Season OF 1904. Gen. A. W. Barrett, San
Francisco, 1871 pounds,
The largest fab ever captured by woman
under the rules and regulations Of the club
was caught in 1900 by Mrs. f. y. Diokerson
Of New York. 1t tipped the scales at ZIG
pounds, but unfortunately for Mrs. Dicker-
son it was during the season Of Col. More
houses big catch. Still il is the next
largest tuna Of which there il any record.

Nov in this club the dues are $40 -

A woman may belong to one small club
and pay out maybe not more than IS year,
but am not speaking Of that sort Of cub
woman, There are many small clubs Of
dozen or two dozen members, who do not
pretend TO exchange club courtesies or
do things on large scale-olubs which
do not Belong 10 even the city federation,
which was organized In 1908 by Mrs. Belle
De Rivera. Members Of these clubs do

11be circumstance that Sorosis, pioneer
Of womans clubs, has reached its thirty.
eighth birthday. that the Clio Club had q
seventeenth birthday party the other day,
and that Phalo IL getting ready to celebrate
is twenty-ffth anniversary early next fall
calls attention to the tremendous. growth
Of vomen's clubs In this city, and indeed
the country over, In the last few years.
In Greater New York there are now iod
Women's clubs which belong to the State
and the city federation, besides nearly as
many more which belong to neither organi-
ntion and the majority Of which are not
Incorporated. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean, from the Gulf to the Great
Lakes, there is scarcely a city without at
least one womAn's club.
AZ result there are more than 200 clube
belonging 10 the general federation. OF
these, at least 90 per cent. were organized
on strictly literary lines. The remainder
are mostly clubs for educational purposes
Tor the study Of Shakespeare, for classical
study, for civic and political study. There
are also several patriotic societies, alum
M associations and working girls ASSOC
cations. In the last four years twenty
three State declarations have been formed
Not long ago Mrs. Charlotte b. Wilbour,
President Of Sorosis and one Of its founders,
thinking that the high tide OF women's
club prosperity had surely been reached,
and that therefore the ebb had already
,et in, wrote TO a statistical friend some
thing like this:
i am thinking Of preparing a club paper
On the decline OF the womAn's club What

Well, wrote back the friend, you may
you can, but IN consideration Of the fact
That something like 1000 new clubs were
sarted in the United States last year I'm
airaid you will find il hard work 10 prove
your point.

TRUJILL0 LET OFF
WITH HEAVY FINE
SENTENCE OF ONE YEAR IN
PENITENTlARY SUSPEN DED
DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR.

Bartolo Trujillo, who was convict.
ed at the recent term of the district
court for stealing sheep, has been
sentenced by the court. Trujillo must
pay a fine of $500 at once. while a
sentence of one year in the peniten'
tiary is suspended during the good be-
havior OF the prisoner.
The court was lenient with Trujillo
because the jury in its finding recon-
mended judicial clemency in his case,
1t is expected that the sentence OF
one year will have good effect on Tru'
jillo, who has in days gone by been In
NOR or less trouble.
