The Sunshine editor and the District
organizer met just outside The Times
office this morning. The latter was
smiling and happy.
I gave out three charters yesterday,
he announced cheerfuily. and I'm just
going up to get my mail now. / expect
to find letters asking for still more
charters. tell you, I'm making great
thing cut of this society. New circles
are organized every day"
The Sunshine editor agreed, of course,
that the society was, without doubt, the
finest in any city. But" said he, you
haven't done any more toward making
it great than I have"
Question of Credit.
Quite an argument arose, the organ
izer declaring that he deserved most of
the credit because he granted the char
ters.
eTrue." replied the editor, ''but who is
going to arrange for the games between
the different circles? Who Is going 10
furnish the prizes?'
.sOh, WELL replied the organizer, we
mustn't quarrel. It's a great society
any way, and those three circles that L
granted charters to yesterday were fine
ones. Come upstairs and I'll tell you
about them. =
The Magnolia Circle.
Prevention of cruelty to animals and
the aid of poor little children in their
neighborhood were decided on as the
two main objects of the Magnolia Circle
of the Sunshine Society, whose presi-
dent is Genevive Conradi, of s22 Fifth
street northeast. and whose secretary is
Ella Baldwin.
When the District organizer called at
the home of the little president Of the
society 10 charter the. circle last even
ing he found only six members present.
How is this?'' said he. Two mem
bers absent at the very first meeting?
..Oh. no." cried Ella Baldwin, excited
at the mere suggestion that two of their
members should BE absent We only
have six members so far We intend to
take In two more. But they are to be
bad boys that we can get to be good.
Have Chosen Bad Member.
eve have one boy in mind now. He
lives lust few doors below here, and
he's awfuily bad. He is forever throw
ing stones at all the kitties in the
neighhorhood. We are going TO get him
in our circle and teach him that he
mustn't harm poor dumb animals, that
can't do anything to protect themselves
1.-The other member. we haven't quite
decided on, but we will not have any
trouble in finding one. We have just
lots and lots of friends who want to
join, and we are just waiting to see
whom we shall take
At this point the organizer took the
chair, and instructed the little members
how to conduct a meeting according to
parliamentary rules. It did not take
long for the members to catch the idea,
and they were soon addressing the
chair. and waiting for recognition in
regular grown up fashion.
Charter Is Given.
The society was granted its charter.
with the understanding that the presi-
dent should bring the charter to The
Times office just as soon as the other
two members were taken In, and have
their names written in the circle.
First, the strength and far-reac ching
influence of the society was told TO the
new members Then the objects of the
society were outlined in brief, and last,

With Success.

PARIS. Feb. 25.-Exeavations for the
recovery of the remains of Capt Paul
Jones in the Rue Grange aux Bellies
continued Thursday, but 1t was impos-
sible to remove the coffin, which, it is
believed, contains the precious relies.
Eight men were at work all day.
Gen. Horace Porter again visited the
excavations. There are great hopes that
the coffin brought to light is the one
looked for. as it is the only one found
IN the course of the search which
answers the description. It is little
less than six feet in length.
Two shafts were dug to reach the

that it will be possible to bring 1t to
