SAN FRANCISCO. May 28.—The Wo
man's congress has th is week taken the
city of conclusions by storm, Keen the
wave of crime anil suicide which has del
uged us for weeks anil months past seems
to have subsided before the triumphal
oncoming of the new woman. Golden
Gate hall with its seating capaoity of 1800
prove 1 totally inadequate for the need* of
tho congress of 1895, though that, ol last
year found the building amply sufficient.
From the opening session last Monday
morning the hall was packed, and be
fore too hour for opening the evening
meetings the stream o* people pouring
toward the bull hug was met by an
equal stream of people wiio wore unable
to get in. Later the First Congrega
tional church was generously placed at
the disposal of the congress and i
the number of people unable to gain an
entrance seemed unabated, a vast au
dince was accommodated at all the ses
sions.
All shades ami breadths of opinions
have been tolerated, from tbe early lire
brand which S:iim Susan B. Anthony
threw into the convention to the conserv
ative utterances of David st.irr Jordan.
"Any woman." quoth Husan, (she is
"Susan" to all the great admiring sister
bood.) "any woman who has so little
intelligence, so little sel -respect as to
swear away tiie legal right t) ownership
of her owifbody, to surrem er the legal
Tight to the earning.- oi' her own hands,
to enter into a relation in which if child- i
ren are born to her she I as no legal right
to their-guardianship, any woman. I say.
who has so little self-respect as lo do
that is unfit to teach any boy or girl any- ;
thing."
This was the summing up of Miss An- ;
thony's opinion upon .the Bubject of child J
culture, to which the eoTlgess gave its at
tention first of alt As all roads lead to |
Home, so all questions upon which the j
uncompromising Miss Anthony is.asked
to speak, lead without ceremony or apol
ogy to woman s rights. No one laughs
sooner at this peculiarity than Susa i her
self, who relates how Sirs. Stanton and
others, who have gone about, with her,
have trembled betore her readiness to
mount the platform to discuss matters
about which she had never heard nor
read. "I have never been at a loss, never
theless." she continue.-, "for something
to say."
And if by any possible complication of |
circumstances Miss Anthony should bo i
unable to talk, she has a lady by her side
who is perfectly competent to till all de- j
riciencies. This is the Rev. Anna li.
Shaw of Massachusetts, who came to the [
coast, she says, to hold Susan's bonnet. >
and whom that lady has been pleased to |
introduce from the platform as "an orth- i
odox minister, and my right bower.''
Miss Shaw is the' most delightful
speaker imaginable—witty, magnetic ana
convincing. Only to listen to her won
derful voice is a revelation as to the
future of oratory. She sweet, full tunes
roll out and till the building like the
notes of "a great organ. The cadences
seem to keep all that is befct in a woinan'd
voice and lo add to that all that is goos
in the tones called masculine.
Wednesday evening, when Miss Shaw j
was assigned a place to the German !
pessimistic philosopher, Schiller, from I
whose arraignment of woman. President
Jordan had quoted liberally.she inquired :
"What sort of son to' what sort of ;
mother could Schopenhauer be."
A lady in the audience replied: "Scbo
fenbaur never spoke to his mother for
fifteen years, as President Jordan
knows." Miss Shaw- exclaimed, in
stantly: "What a happy time for tho
mother!"
A suffrage argument impossible to an
swer was administered to the unsuspect- i
ing audience in a most amusing account !
o' the labors of several spinsters of Massa
chusetts to get a bill through the legisla- j
ture of that state permitting the married
women to own their own clothes. "We
atruggled for three years," said Miss
Bhaw, "and then came a great day when
at laet the married women of Massachu
setts dressed themselves in their own
clothes instead of their husband's. Think
of it!"
Another amusing story told of the strug
gle ten years' long for "a bill to bury
widows.'' "It was accidentally discov
ered," we are told, "that all the widows
buried in the state had been buried il
legally. A widow held a one third inter
est in her husband's real estate during
life only, and she could not be butied in
His cemetery lot legally unless she was
buried alive 1"
The discussion is to the future of the
household kitchen has been a hot one
and an inetcresting feature of it was tne
evident interest taken in the matter by
Tyrant Man.
Tyrant Man, by the way has been a con
stant attendant at the meetings and he
has stood for hours in the packed aisles
listening to the sneakers as if his life de
pended upon not missing a word. And
when radical reforms such as tho abate
ment of the sacred family wash-tub or the
reconsideaition of the holy-pie crust have
been advocated Tyrant Man has ap
plauded with a gleam ol hope in his eye.
£ Even the ndvanced opinion of I'hoebe
Couzins, that men have already given con
vincing proof of being divinely called to
be the cooks of the world, was laughingly
applauded by the men. while the sisters
looked at each other doubtingly—that is
the unemancipated ones, who came only
to listen, and perhaps to scoff.
It is true that one misguided, but
courageous man, Lee Fairohfld by name,
did mount a chair in the midst of the
convention'and attempt to stem the tide
of the popular disapproval of the work
■hop kitchen as a feature of the modern
home. Ho asserted that it would degrade
the dishwashing industry to the level of
commerce to throw it out of the home,
and that commerce in San Francisco is a
failure.
"I gaze in admiration, "said the gentle
man, "at the vender of shoe strings on
Jonder corner, who is. I am reliably in
ormed, one of the live successful mer
chants in this city."
But Mr. Fairchild's defense of the time
honored family mop and dishcloth earned
nothing hut hisses, and he sat down in I
esponse to a noisy reminder that "this
- a ladies' meeting."
s Charlotte Perkins Stetson's discussion
of Art in Decoration was very much
li keel, and her humorous description of
what woman's hand lias accomplished in
the way of decoration created laughter. '
"Decoration." said she. "means spe
cifically that which belongs. We should
not decorate construction, but construct
decoration. But woman se>vs on. pins
on, pastes on, nails on, ties on, to her
bouse, her furniture, her clothes, what
•he believes to be decoration, and that
which does not belong."
Miss Tessa Kelso's paper on The Place
of th? Parent in Modern Eduction was
well received. It was set forth that the
students of* "pedagogical psychology"
were teachers where they should be pa
rents, anil schools for parents were de
clared to be a pressing necessity.

GENERAL BARRETT EXPLAINS
He Was Not Employed to Work for
Mr. Dnffil
General Barrett Ssys That He Urged the
Pom one Man's Claim* Right Up to
the Lait Moment
There have been a number of unpleas
ant rumors recently in regard to the ap
pointment of A. W. Barratt to the adju
tant-generalship by Governor Budd. One
of these was to the effect that Major Bar
rett had been paid by Captain Driffel of
Pomona to present his claims to the gov
ernor, but that the former had turned in
and secured the appointment for himself.
This was most indignantly denied by
Mr. Barrett last night, who explained the
situation of the case to a Herald represen
tative.
"I did not'go to Sacramento in the in-
Captain DriHJl." he said, "but
went to urge ihe appointment of Charles
McFarland as code commissioner. The
governor informed me that he had al
ready selected his appointee for this po
sition.
•'Mr. Drill il and myself are personal
fnends.and while he did not ask me to go
to Sacramento, nor did 1 offer to go in his
interest, I went to Governor Budd dur
ing the session of the legislature and asked
that Mr. Driffil be appointed adjutant -
general. Tho governor took the matter
under advisement. Two weeks ago last
Sunday he asked me, to my surprise,
when I would he ready to assdme the
duties of the adjutant-generalship. I told
him that X did not want the position and
would not accept it as long as there was
the slightest chance of it being given to
Mr. Driffil."
"What were Governor Budd's teasons
for not appointing Mr. Driffil?"
"Well, now, I think you are asking an
impertinent question. The governor told
me, but lam not at liberty to repeat
them. I received my commission last
Friday."
"Then it is not true that you were
paid by Mr. Driffel to work in his in
terest."
"No, sir, it is not." replied the adju
tant general, strenuously. "I worked for
his interests to the last, and the only rea
son that I presented his name was oe
cause f believed him to be an able man
and one qualified to hold the position."

PADGHAM-CONANT
Two Well Known Young People to Wed
Today
Eight years ago two of Los Angeles'
moat popular young men associated
themselves with Manager H. C. Wyatt at
the Grand opera house in the capacity of
treasurer and assistant treasurer. They
were the Conant brothers, Frank and
Will. In Minager Wyatl's various enter
prises they were his most valuable assist
ants and coworkers.. When fortune sin lied
upon him the Con ant boys shared tho
smiles, and when fortune frowned, they
were there to assist ami advise and share
the frowns. But gradually b l rank tired
of life in Los Angeles: he Wished to see
the world ami left to win laurel. in the
managerial fields of the east, leaving Will
at home, sad ami lone'v. without a com
panion to enliven tbe intervals when the
lions? was "dark" for a few nights.
Among Will's married friends he found
true friendship in the persons of Mr. and
Mrs. Modini-Wood. and in a social way
met one of Mr. Modini-Wood's most suc
cessful and accomplished pupils. Miss
Jessie Padgham of Pomona. I'lider Mr.
Wood's careful tutelage Miss Padgham
h;is developed a Wonderfully sweet and
cultivated voice well known to the mns-c
lovers of Los Angeles. During her visits
to the city she met Mr. Conant on many
occasions, the result of which is that to
day at the home Of the bride's parents in
THE SITUATION IN SAN FRANCISCO
—San Francisco Post
I'omona, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Padgham,
she wil. become Mrs. William Conant.
The wedding will be a quiet one, only
the relatives of the contracting parties
being present, excepting Mr. and Mrs.
Modini-Wood. After a short visit to
friends in Santa Barbara and a trip up
the coast for a couple of weeks the couple
will return to Los Angeles.
The friends of both young people feel
assured that today will ushe- in a bright
and happy future, lit by the footlights of
prosperity ; that the orchestra of life will
play nothing but harmonious strains;
that all the acts will be happy ones; that
the box office receipts will be large enough
to place the treasurer on Easy street, the
house always full of friends, and when
the curtainjis rung down and the lights
are turned out it will only bo the pro
logue to a bright and happy home in that
future land where there are no one-night
stands, but one continuous performance
of happiness, peace and rest.
THE DOWNEY WILL
No Further Developments In the Celebrated
Case
There weie no developments of moment
yesterday in the matter of the will of the
late Governor John G. Downey, which
was exclusively published in The Herald
of yesteiday.
J. Downey Harvey was reported to have
left for San Fancisco, and Senator White
had nothing to say about the subjct, he
not having any official cognizance of the
contents of the testament.
It is considered very odd that Receiver
O'Connor of the Consolidated National
Hank of San Diego, who found the will in
t c bank's vault, should have opened the
icument and given its contents out for
publication, and then with great solem
nity and formality have sealed it up in a
new envelope and sent it here for pro
bate. It is learned from reliable sources
that in all probability tne document will
not- be contested and the property will be
distributed according to its provisions.

The Shevouth Festival Will Be Commenced
This Evening
This evening being the sixth of Sivan,
according to the Jewish calendar, there

tine and every one as the Bible says, was
living "under the shade of his own vine
and tig tree" Shevuoth was celebrated as
a national holiday. They were com
manded to count seven weeks from tho
second day of the Passover to the sixth day
of Sivan, on which day the male popula
tion were commanded to appear in Jeru
salem, there to adore Jehovah the one
and spiritual God, and to thank him for all
the innumerable blessings that he showr
ers on the human race, and especially for
the crops and fruits which tiled thei
tields.
Since Tsiael left Palestine the feast is
celebrated in commemoration of the proc
lamation of the ten commandments on
Mt. Sinai, as the feast of religions lib

TEMPERANCE MASS MEETING
Y. M. C. A. Hall Crowded Willi Anti-
Saloon.sts
They Discuss the Ways and Means of Closing
the Bars, and Listen to Eloquence
Prom Several Speakers
Y. M. C.A. hall was crowdsd last night
by a mass meeting of citizen fa in response
to a call issued by the Minis terial union
for such a gathering. President Harwood
opened the proceedings by a short speech,
in which he roused the enthusiasm of the
audience and outlined the proposed cam
paign against the liquor saloons that, he
said, are the k.ne of civilization.
The plan proposed was. in substance,
that the antl-saloonists of every party
combine in a sort of citizen:.-' league and
endorse such of the candidates of each
party as will pledge themselves strongest
to tight for the abolition of every saloon
in the city. After this feat should oe ac
complished, the conquest oi" the county
would be next made,and then tho crusade
should spread us far as the Los Angeles
influence could leach. The audience en
dorsed it with applause.
Several gentlemen, among them Will.
1). Gould, Rev. F. M. Price and Rev.
Will A. Knighton, made telling speeches
that were vigorously applauded by their
auditors. In substance, the gentlemen
deplored the united front of the liquor
men and the disarray of the armies ol re
form. But. as Mr. Gould philosophically
put it: "There are three-fourths ot the
people opposed to the traffic, and we
could wipe it out by one election. The
people's will rules this country, and if
we do not combine we can blame only
ourselves."
The meeting was very enthusiastic
and was energetically managed, and by
its actions last night it means to make a
big light against the dispensers of drinks.
Committees will organize for the cam
paign and a humming stir will shortly
be felt as tho legislative and political
committees begin operations*
