FEDERATION OF WOSfEN'S
CLUBS AGAIN PERTURBED
Question of Admitting Men to Mem
bership VIII Stir Up a, Fight In
Next Convention.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.-Shall men
be admitted to membership in women's
clubs? Shall the California Federation
of Women's Clubs. after four years
history as a strictly women's organiza-
ton, strike out the word ''women's'
and become simply the California Fed
Grafton of Clubs? 49,.
These questions will be brought UP
before the federation's convention here
in February, and the hottest fight
known in womens clubdom is in pros
pect. The subject was mildly broaehed
at the meeting in Sacramento last year.
but was coldly received. Now the de-
termined spirits in the southern part of
the State have determined to present 1t
anew in the form of an amendment to
the constitution and to support 1t with
all their strength. They say they have
found men to be potent helpers in the
work undertaken by women's clubs all
over the country, the Long Beach Ebell
being the first to demonstrate their
usefulness by inpressing them into
service as honorary. members.
1t is known that there will be de-
termined opposition to the proposed
amendment, some having gone so far
as to say that they will fight 1t to the
bitter end. even to the disruption of
the whole organization IL necessary.
So II looks as though lively history
may be made February z, s and 3.
Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles is slated
for the presidency of the federation
to succeed Mrs. George Law Smith.

There is a decrease in the number OF
legal hangings, in the total OF defalca-
tions, forgeries and bank wreckings
and in the number of homicides.
Fire losses show a small increase.
In a general business, manufacturing
and commercial way the latter half of
the year was a graduated improvement
over the first six months.
The lynchings for the year number
81, as compared with 104 the previous
year, SO in 1902 and 135 in 1901 OF the
81 lynchings So took place in the South

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 30, 1904
Mrs. Grace N: Morris, wife of Mr. W.
@. Morris, a wealthy resident of Ore
: gon. passed through San Francisco last
week on her way to Los Angeles, Cal,
with her husband for his health. Mrs.
. Morris one year ago had very large
cancer In each breast and was pro-
roqnced beyond relief. She was cured
about year ago, in two weeks, by DR..
Chamley, the noted cancer specialist at
25 Third street, San Francisco, with his
painless remedy, which has cured thou
sands OF similar cases here and else
where.
Mrs. Morris called on DR.. Chamley
during her stopover in San Francisco.
and after examination by several phy-
sicians was pronounced entirely cured.
This examination was made to test the
remedy. The complete cure astonished
the physicians. The breasts are both
normal in size and are perfect.
Mrs. Morris and her husband are both
very appreciative of the excellent cure
and the moderate fee. and gave her
picture for publication, saying that all
papers should say more about DIR.
Chamley's wonderful work for human
ity. Mrs. Morris at first had only a
small Jump in one breast, but was told
by physician to wait; so she did and
soon both breasts were cancerous.
Some friend sent her Dr. Chamlev's
excellent book on Cancers and Turner's
Cured Without Knife or Pain" which
she found full OF testimonials some of
whom she knew and went to see. The
book may be had free by addressing

But to come back to the card table,
there is one example known as the
table a trois fms" which is particu-
larly interesting from the variety of its
uses. Round ia shape and supported
on four straight legs, these tables were
usually made OF dark mahogany, bound
with brass, in the style of the furni-
ture to which Jacob has given his name.
They date from the latter part of the
reign of Louis XVI. At first glance
they do not seem to differ from an or
binary table, but on closer inspection
one notices that they have a brass
galerie that reaches only to the top of
the table instead of rising above it.
Another difference is in the top which
is of the same wood as the rest of the
table, but is covered with a large cen
ter of morocco that lifts up by two lit
tie ribbon strings and turns over. The
reverse side is covered with green cloth.
If, however, this top is taken away
there is found beneath an ordinary
table covered with marble with an up
standing galerie. Room is also found
for two drawers in which to keep the
cards and two brackets for candles pull
out from between them. Thus the own
er has a perfect little card table fitted
with every convenience-a writing ia

During this period the gambling fever
