Thursday Musical Students,

For the first time in the history Of
the Thursday Musical the student mem.
bers of the society met this morning
in the, studio and transacted business.
THE student m embers have never had a
voice in the business of the musical,
but at a recent meeting Of the active
body it was decided to ask the students
to choose committee, to meet with the
active membership the transaction Of
the society's work. Mrs w. %. Fry
berger, the new president Of the musi-
morning, and her interest and enthu-
siasm were contagious. About thirty
five of the 1875 students who belong to
the musical were present, and they were
quick to see the advantages of the new
ruling. The committee was chosen as
follows Mines. E. A. Britzius, G.. H..
Heising, A. H. Sielken, F. H. Smith,
J., E. Mehan, John w. Baxter, Nellie G.
Bailey, Misses Pearl Bunce, Lily Ham
berg, Anna Fuller, Fannie Stinchfeld,
Florence E. johnson and Myra McFar-
lane. Mrs. Bailey was elected chair
man and will preside over the meetings
Of the student body in the future:
A new feature Of next year will be
the student concerts, when the pro-
grams will be givenoby the students and
the active members will be guests.
Later the active members will choose
the students, WHO will be admitted to
student concerts will be Of q social ma
ture and will probably be given at the
homes of some of the members. I.
Tomorrow the associate membership
of the musical will meet at the studio to
take similar action in regard to future
presentation with the active members: !

- AN FRANCISCO, via Oakland
Cal, April 26-The Mormon
Elders are decidedly popular in
San Francisco right now. In
some manner It has been reported
throughout the various camps that out
of the entire colony OF Saints and Ell
ders, some 122 strong. there was not
single case where anybody received so
much as a confusion. This Is why
they are made welcome, for they are
looked upon as mascots by some.
An Illustration in point came under
the notice OF News man who ac-
companied President Joseph e. Robin
son of the California mission on a ~
mile walk through the ruins of San
Francisco yesterday. While walking
along near the ferry woman broke
from the crowd, threw her arms around
President Robinson's neck and ex-
claimed with great fervor. THANK God
I have found you Brother Robinson.

Robinson had the greatest difficulty In
recalling who the lady was did not en-
barrass her In the least. Up TO that
time she had not been on the visiting
list, nevestheless she was taken care
OF, OF course.
The Elders laboring in San Fran
cisco are being overwhelmed with In
vitations to make their headquarters
with families until the prevailing chaos
has been reduced to law and order
once more and all the refugees have
settled down TO work and have secured
permanent quarters.
WALKING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
The walk through San Francisco was
a most interesting one and during the
process the pedestrians cultivated a
gait that soon developed into a limp.

Up Market street the federal dyna-

Owing to the industry OF these brave
