On the day mentioned John Boysen and (Frederick Moller, of this city, left in a buggy with a chest of carpenters tools and also carried a dresssuit case with their Sunday best clothes for Point Reyes. The men have a contract at that place to build itlhe Point Reyes school-house. It (was raining like the mis chief, when they reached Paper Mill creek and the (water high. Trusting to luck, they endeavored to cross the creek to reach Point Reyes, and when in the deepest of the stream the swift current knocked the horse and buggy over and spilled the occupants and contents in the water.

The buggy, tools, and dresssuit case and other personal belongings -went out with the tide. The horse swam to the shore. After recovering from the shock the men finally reached the tCaore, but it iwas (With great difficulty that they succeeded. The buggy, has not as yet been recovered.

G. T. hall Thursday night Grand President Fitzgerald, of ISan Jose; Grand 'First Vice-president Willey, of iSan Francisco; Grand District Deputy Aurey Short, of San (Rafael; Grand Director John E. Trichords, and Secretary George 'A. Stanley were present.

Sixteen candidates were initiated. A splendid banquet was enjoyed, one hundred and fifty sitting. The feast was followed by a program and speeches. J. W.

Murphy, the local president, was toastmaster. Father Dollard set the ball rolling with a speech. iHe said it was a great pleasure for him to welcome the gathering which included the grand officers and among hom was the grand secretary, Brother Stanley, who had Inspired the local president, Brother J. W. M'urphy, that the latter rose to the occasion and put all Brother Stanleys precepts into practice with surprising success.

Father Bollard fell into a joking vein and said he would not trouble them with a long address as they were mostly all familiar with his eloquence, philosophy, etc. He emphasized the religious environment of the institution. Though it was the tendency of nature to decay and yield to the ravages of time the Catholic church, though such an ancient institution, retained today all the vigor of youth. He emphasized the power of the Catholic churdh. He spoke of the influence members of the Young Mens Institute could exert by their good ex ample.

As for the ladies, their example was always good (cheers) hut men were the walls of the church and their presence signified much. The Misses McNally gave a piano duct which well received. Grand President Fitzgerald iwas then introduced. Mr. Fitzgerald pointed out that the Young Mens Institute was twenty-three years old.

A number of men, some of whose names he mentioned banded themselves together in (San Francisco to form the society which would he broad enough to embrace all men of Catholic faith, despite differences of nationality. The necessity of such a society was fellt to keep members from losing touch with the church and to-day there was hardly a city of importance on the Pacific coast where the Young Mens Institute had not taken root ami the sympathy ami help of the ladies bad counted for much. He asked all1 Catholic men to shoulder the duties of members of the Young Men's Institute which did so much to produce ideal men. J. F.

McNally sang When the Coons Have a Dreamland of Then-Own, and for an encore responded with The Man Behind. MT. Graham, of 'Sonoma, spoke of the impetus gained by all falling loyally into line and this was shown by a handful of men uniting twenty-three years ago in San Francisco to form the Young Mens Institute. The vitality of the institution 'was shown by a branch opening recently at Dawson City with a roll of 170 members and another branch being inaugurated at the Hawaiian Islands He trusteed to see in the near future a ladies organization which would form a sister branch to the Young Mens Institute, such as existed in San (Francisco. tD.

Gellately rendered a vocal solo, entitled The Heart of the Mighty Deep and sang for an encore, If a Body Meet a Body Coming Through the Rye. G. G. 'Counihan next spoke. George Dugan, of (Santa Rosa, was pleased to be present.

Unfortunately he had missed the train and arrived late. M. Walsh, sang I Am Wearing My Heart Away for You, and responded to an encore with If a Star 'Should -Wed a Flower. John King made a vigorous and humorous attack on pessimists who ran down everything they were connected with. Their church was not accomplishing anything, their negh-bors were not of much account, their town wa9 going to pieces, their society was the meanest of orders.

They sneered at everything and lost all (the beauty and joy of life. It must puzzle even the Almighty hlmselt to know what to do with such people for they would not be content even in heaven. He finished up with a recitation. John Richards said Khe toast of The Ladies had been accorded to him. He felt great misgivings about his toast for he felt that the ladies MEETING THURSDAY EVENING AT GUILD HALL Papers on Tent Life in Siberia The Russian Vapor Bath Commerce of the Great Empire Talk on Deep Breathing The literary department of the Womans club held its regular meeting Thursday evening at Guild Hall.

Mrs. Ravenscroft, section leader for the evening, had prepared the program. Under the title. Tent Life in Siberia, Miss IMaud Clarke told of the peculiar life of tlhe pastoral tribes which have long roamed over the plains of Siberia watching their herds, which until very recently hare been 'their sole means of support. Separated from the great business world by the necessity of tending their flocks they are poor but hospitable and friendly, deeming it a pleasure to entertain strangers.

Mrs. Arthur presented an interesting paper on the Commerce of Russia. By the aid of a map she pointed out the principal centers of commerce in the vast empire, together with the net work of natural and artiflical waterways by means of which the great business is carried on. Russias great business is domestic and requires the services of a vast number of boats eadh year. Immense cargoes of lumber, grain, and agricultural products are transported on flatboats.

More than 6,000 of these boats are built every year, for they are short-lived, frequently making only one trip, being tom to pieces when they reach their destination. The great trans-Siberian railroad, winding from St. Petersburg across Asia to the Pacific, stretches over a distance equal to one-fourth the circumference of the globe. It has greatly faeditated tlhe internal com-mers the country by its added speed in transportation. A great many took part in the round table discussion.

Mrs. Ivan-covich read a short article on the forests of Russia which are owned in the main by ahe government op by noble families. Miss Aura Clarke presented a short selection concerning the famous vapor baths which are held as almost sacred by the peasantry of Russia. Dr. E.

Noble, of San Francisco, gave a talk on deep breathing, a subject to which she has given many years of thought and study. Some years ago she made a trip to India to give instruction in ihe use of X-rays in the cure of disease but found that the people there could instruct her in methods of both curing and preventing of disease. It was this method of deep breathing wihich she had brought hack (with her and which she wished the people of this country to learn as it meant so much in added health and strength. The meeting was unusually well attended and of especial interest. Death of a Child The death occurred at Cotati today of Pauline Taylor, daughter of Mr.
