Women of California Club Ar
range Treat for Children on
Saturday Afternoon

With their little hats tied on tightly
to defy the wind, their buttons and
apron strings reinforced for a strain
and with cards in their pockets TO say
where they should be returned If lost.
the citys smallest dependents, its hun
dreds of little orphaned boys and girls,
will gather at the stadium on Satur-
day afternoon and do their share of
welcoming San Franeiscos guests.
Orphans day in Golden Gate park
will not be a social event, strictly
speaking-not an affair to class with
the Greenway dance or the Claremont
reception-but it is safe to say that
when the dance and the reception have
been long forgotten the children of
the citys great institutions will still
be talking about the day that they
spent with the sailors.
GAMES AND GOOD THINGS
There will be games, of course, for
the athletic finals take place on Satur
day, and the little guests Will be
placed where they can see them, and
there will be edibles of all sorts-cakes
and pies, sandwiches and jam, and box
after box of candy Music will be sup
piled by the Columbia Park Boys band
and by the boys band from the Jewish
orphan asylum.
Inc women or the California CLUB,
who planned this treat for the chill
dren, will be on hand to meet any
emergency from a cut finger up to an
overdose of nautical ambition. They
will see that the little girl who has
read 8about being shanghaied isn't
frightened by the big boys, and that
the little lad who has lived on tales
of piracy and seafaring really has a
chance to talk confidentially to one of
the real. true sailors from the big
fleet.
DAY TO DE REMEMBERED
Altogether it will be a glorious day,
proved sickness, and day of freedom
from regular laws and emancipation
from the usual boundaries. And when
ever little group of cropped heads get
together in the asylum dormitories or
refectories this summer one may be
pretty sure that the topic of conversa-
tion Will be, Gee, the day we went to
see the sailors"
Some Of the institutions that will
send their little occupants to Satur-
days gathering are: The Boys and
Girls aid society, the Holy Family
Day home, the Telegraph Hill Neigh
borhood house, the Maria Kip orphan
age, the Jewish Orphan asylum. the
Youths Directory, the children's com
nittee of the California club, the Co.
lunbia Park Settlement house the
Catholic Orphanage asylum and the
Parental Home of the Juvenile court
Miss Anne Conlin will be in charge of

NEW HANDY DIRECTORY
r. S. Robson Publishes Satisfactory
Directory of kearney.

F.. S. Robson, who will be in Norfolk
within week to commence work on
new city directory, has just COM
pleted a directory of Kearney, Of
which the Hub says:
The mechanical department of the
Hub is just turning out a Handy
Directory of the City of Kearney,"
which is published by Frank S. Robi-
son, who has put forth every effort
to give the people complete piece
of work in every particular.
A thorough canvass of the city has
been made, from house to house, and
no effort has been spared to secure
every householder and legitimate dwell
er within the city. There will doubt
less be some errors and a few omis-
sions, the latter arising only from in
ability in some cases to secure the de.
sired information from those most in
terested. Some of the customary mat
ters of directory information that is
usually inserted, merely to fill space,
and which is no material value, has
been purposely omitted. AS whole
however we are confident that the re-
suit is a Handy Directory" that
will meet with the needs of the COM
munity and that will very generally
meet with approval.
The number of names in the direct
DRY proper, 5000 is somewhat less
than were contained in the last Kear-
ney directory published, but this fact
does not indicate that the population
of the city has grown less. Instead
it is occasioned solely by the method
employed, which simply requires lar
ger multiple to arrive approximately
at the city's population, which is about
5000 at this time and gives promise
of larger increase during the year OF
1908.
A miscellaneous directory of lodges
churches, societies, hospitals, etc, is
given in the front of the book, togeth,
er with the city officers, followed by
the directory proper, while in the back
is a directory of the businesses to be
found, set off under different head
ings.
Taken all in all the book is very
neat piece of work and a credit to the
publishers and printers.

FAVoRS AN ANNUAL MEETING

A. j, Durland Says the Place to Elect

dentally Mr.. Durland replied to some
criticisms that have been passed on
his position on the mode of election.
Some of my friends have suggested
that have been trying to disrupt the
Commercial club" said Mr.. Durland.
That is unfair. I had good deal to
do with the original organization of
the club and also have had something
to do with its present activities.
Whatever communications l have
addressed to the press have signed

letter touching Commercial club af-
fairs which appeared recently in The
News, | may say was In accord with
my view of the matter and consider
that letter right in every particular.

IN CROOKED WRESTLING
FRANK GoTCH SAYS THERE is
TOO MUCH OF 1T.
BUT HE'S GOING TO CUT 1T

Famous Wrestling Champion, Well
Known In Norfolk, Says That In
Towns Where There is a Favorlte,
the Match is Not Always Square.
Frank Gotch, we'll known in Nor
folk, who will wrestle George Hacken.
schmidt, the Russian lion, in this coun-
try next May, says he will cut out all
crooked work in wrestling hereafter.
II will admit" said Gotch, that the
game has been run down In various
parts Of the country, especially in
cities where they have had a local
champion, who would never wrestle
unless protected. Why, / have had
fellows ask me to lay down to middle
weights just because they were the
pets of the towns where they lived,
and where the match was coming off.
They argue that IL should beat their
man In his own town it would kill Off

any conditions. Another thing want
to say to you is this: If ever make

will put a crimp in that old game of
beating the fellow within one fall of
what agreed to do. In other words,
my matches are going to be rigidly on
the square, for l am eager to find out
just how much l can do in the way of
winning"
