TO SAVE THE YOUTH.
Convention of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association.
Its Eleventh Annual Session Opened
Here Yesterday—lnteresting and
Able Papers Road.
The eleventh annual State Convention
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion opened yesterday forenoon at the
Capitol building with a fairly large at
tendance—many of the delegates not hav
ing yet arrived at that time.
Tho convention was called to order by
F. M. Porter of Los Angeles.
GOINC* TO WORK.
After making a fe\r remarks, in which
he referred to the fine outlook of the con-
Tendon, Mr. Porter appointed the lol
iowing committees: On Nomination —K.
V. Watt, San Francisco; George Taylor,
Pasadena; G. W. Marston, San Diego;
Frank Clark, Napa; I. W. Watson, Oak
land. On Business—J. P. Fay, San Joso;
St S. Woodharna, Berkeley; E. S. Field,
Los Anjjeles; W. R. Heacock, Rodlands;
F. Heath, Santa Cruz. On Credentials —
R. S. Bayns, San Francisco; M. Ileskcth,
Riverside; A. P. Alexander, Oakland.
There Were some brief devotional ex
ercises then, after which a recess was
taken.
When the convention was called to
order again, Evangelist O. B. Read of
Aihambra addressed the assemblage,
taking for his text Timothy ii., 16 J "Study
to show thyself approved unto God; a
workman that neeueth not to be ashamed,
rightly doing the word of truth."
OFFICERS KLECTED.
The Committee on Nominations then j
announced its readiness to report. The
Chairman stated that tho committee had
much difficulty in deciding upon names,
as there was such an abundance of good
timber from which to select. The follow
ing nominations were read: President,
Oiles Kellogg of San Diego; Vico-Presi
dents, L. J. Norton, Napa; George Rush
ford, Stockton; F. L. Heath. Santa Cruz;
«. T. Hawloy, Oakland; W. M. Sheldon,
L-os Angeles; Secretary, N. S. Wood
hams, Berkeley; Assistant Secretary, E.
»■*. Gillen, San Diego; Mr. Barrows, l'o
tnona; Transportation Secretary, H. J.
McCoy, Han Francisco.
Mr. Kellogg sought to decline tho nom
ination for President, but the report of
the committee was accepted unanimously,
and the gentlemen named declared the
officers of the convention for the ensuing
year.
OTffKB REPORTS.
The report of tho Committee on Creden
tials was read. It showed that of the
Ladies' Central Committee there were
present 14; representatives, 2; junior rep
resentatives, 2; regular delegates, 76; col
lege delegates, 5; total in attendance, 104.
A paper was read by J. A. lHuii
mett. Traveling Secretary of the Pacific
Northwest. He related his observations
in tho circuit over which he has charge.
and spoke of the many tempations which
confronted the young men in this State.
Mr. Weidonsall of New York, a vete
ran worker in the association's ranks,
was called upon to make a iew remarks,
and responded by urging the delegates to
profit by the remarks of the speaker pre
ceding him. '» Perseverance was neces
sary to accomplish the objects of the as
sociation. Moody, tho Evangelist, suc
ceeded in Chicago because he was irre
pressible.
HINTS AROLT BinLK STUDY.
State Secretary Mead read the paper
prepared by R. R. Mcßurney of New
York on "Suggestive Facts and Hints
Regarding Bible Study in the Associa
tion.*' Mr. Mead prefaced the reading
by saying it had been hoped to secure the j
presence of M r. Mcßurney at the eou ven
rob. The paper, which was then
lirered, urged the formation of Bible
training classes in all the associations.
As a rule, the writer recommended that
the Secretary of each branch should be
telcher of the Bible class. Some Secre
taries shrink from the teaching because of
peal or (aacfod ignorance of the Bible;
but this is one good reason why they
(should teach, as a thorough acquaintance
with the holy book is essrnth.l to toe car
rying out of the work.
The reading was followed by singing,
at the conclusion of which a recess was
taken until the afternoon.
Afternoon Session.
When the convention was again called
to order a paper was read by Isaiah Bray
of Oakland on the subject, "District
Work—How Itade More Effective in
California; Tts Relation to State Work."
He said its relation to State work should I
be very close. In all States hut Califor
nia, the Di>trict Committees are appointed
by a special committee appointed by tho
State Committee or Convention. In this
way they can be brought in close contact
with the State work. Hitherto the chief
work of the District Committees here has
been arranging for local convention.*
What we need is to device s<.me plan
■uiioivby the District Committee ran
work harmoniously with the State Com
mittee. This work can be extended in
many ways, first, by inter-vi.sit.ition be
tween a strong'and a weak association.
An evening conference with a few earnest
•workers iv a struggling association has
often been the moans of setting it on its
feet.

It was not deemed advisable, be |
thought, that the association should h 1
the Boys' Brigade In conOection, witl
v'ork, W-caufcc that is a strictly "denomi
national work, and ours is not.
Quito a discussion ensued as to the ad- I
disability of having a Boyrf Brigade In j
connection with Y. M. (". A. w
]<r. McCHsh of GFrttCQ M. il. Church ol <
?An Francisco was called upon to gtre
bis Vttwl on the sul<j<;t. and <:?jve n !
eral statement as to the history of tho I
jmovaiunnt. He said there were 20,0004
boys enrolled in brigades in Great
Britain: that the movement started in
Scotland in the Sunday school of the
Free Church. Dr. McClish believed that'
if the Y. M. C A. took up this work
everything would move along harmoni
ously, and if this work were properly '
taken up, as is the gymnasium work by
the Y. M. C. A., it would by and by take
a territory that the devil has been having
a long time. Tho time would come when
we can go to a baseball game where there
will be no drinking, no swearing and no
gambling.
MR. DUNN'S PAPEK.
C. H. Dunn of Sacramento then rgafi an
exeollent aud intensely practical paper on
"The Relation of the Board of Directors
to tho Raising, Collecting and Disbursing
of l-'iuids for the General Work of the As
sociation."
The Board of Directors, Mr. Dunn
said, is tho mainspring of the association
— the engine which ought to keep every
thing in motion. An association may be
admirably well furnished to carry on the
work for young men, but without an ei
ticent board it will be a failure. The
Board of Directors has to attend to the
duty of devising ways and means by
which the necessary funds can be raised
to carry on the work of the association.
This is the directors' work, not the Gen
eral Secretary's. If he does it it weakens
his power in the community and greatly
interferes with his usefulness. If ho does
this people think bis sole work is to get
monoy. He has much to do in aiding
the directors, but not in doing the work.
How ithis can be done was stated.
Brietly, he should bo tho adviser and
overseer. If he does any soliciting it
should be the exception, not the rule.
Funds for the work come from two
sources chiefly—membership and sub
scriptions. The difficulties in collecting
subscriptions were spoken of. Alter they
have been obtained cure should be exer
cised in collecting and disbursing them.
All accounts should be audited by the di
rectors and none paid without their con
sent.
Mr. Dunn's papor evoked a spirited
discussion, after which it was resolved to
have it printed in pamphlet forth.
The day's session closed with devo
/oual exercises.
Evening session.
A musical service, led by a large male
choir and orchestra, under the direction
of J. J. Morris of San Francisco, opened
the session last evening.
Following this were brief reports from
the various associations in the State.
These showed a great improvement on all
lines. The elegant new building at Lo.-j
Angeles was opened last wook by Gov
ernor Markham.
A largo number of young men have
been enabled to find employment through
the organization. Many have been visited
during sickness, and others buried. The
reading-rooms are free to all self-respoct
; ing young men. Educational classes arc
conducted I>y all the larger association.'-.
A selection by the male choir was* then
given.
l>r. Median followed with an able
add rets on "Paul in the Nineteenth
Century." He regard ed the state
in, nt that "the evil tn<;n live
alter the good are often interred
with their bones" as an essential false
hood, preserved by a modicum of truth
j and the prestige and putting of a great
: man. Life is positive- the crimes of the
Judas Iscariots and Benedict Arnolds are
egative. Their influence is remembered
only to be avoided. On the contrary, the
tw<> mites —the broken alabaster box and
the little garments mado by Dorcas—lend
an influence that excites and stimulates
to similar conduct as the ages pass on.
Indei d. it is a most interesting fact, dem
onstrated in the history of man, that the
useful and good are preserved and per
i petuate themselves.
"To-night," said ho, "I speak who
lived and breathed I,SOO years ago, yet
who lives and breathes and walks the
streets of this great nineteenth century.
Kenan says, 'Paul is coming
to his end—Protestantism is dying;
therefore Paul is about dying also.' Mat
thew Arnold says, 'Paul i-oming to his
end! Why, Paul is just beginning!' "
Dr. McClish then proceeded to show, in
| a most eloquent and graphic manner,
> how Paul's teachings were adapted to
j this age. In passing he paid a graceful
tribute to William (Gladstone as a Christ
ian statesman of the Pauline typo.
Among other good things, Dr. Mc-
Clish said : "Paul's teachings are adapted
I to men in all ranks in this age, and it
might perhaps be better if his sententious
statement. 'Provide things honest in the
sight of all men,' was inscribed on the
I walls of this chamber." [Applause.]
The address was well worth hearing,
and occupied over an hour in delivery.

The Great Emperor at the Windsor State

The London World of July 15, 18JU, has
tliis to say in regard to the state banquet
at Windsor, which was given in honor of

The state banquet at Windsor was ad

SACBAISrEyTO DAILY RECOITO-TTSnfOy, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1891.—SIX PAGES.
OH! FOR A PITCHER!
A Twirler Needed to Help Out Old-
Reliable Hoffman.
If the Senators Had One They Mlfflit
Capture the Pennant—Knell Goes
to the Target-Bearers.
The Bacrsmentos and Oakland?* are
advertised to play ball in this city to-day,
to-morrow and on Sunday. The games
are to commence at 3 o'clock each after
noon. They ought to begin at 2:30 from
now on. The days are becoming short,
and by the time a person reaches home
after a two-hour game it is nearly dark.
The Oaklands will probably have Baltz,
Knell and Borchers with them on their
trip to this city. Phil. Knell is well
known in Sacramento, and is an excel
lent pitcher. He can do no good for the
Oakland team, however, except, perhaps,
to make the remaining games of the
season more interesting.
If McCloskey had another good pitcher
his team would not stand Bach a poor
show of winning the pennant ta some
people think. Sacramento has about
twenty more games to play, and A short
streak of good hick would bring them
so close to the leaders as to make the lat
ter feel uncomlortiible. With another
good pitcher tho club would stund an ex
cellent chance of makinjr a BtioOMiifal
tight lor tiie pennant, (alien is appa
rently unreiiaole, Sommen is wild and
liniiiiirtii is really the only reliable pitcher
in the team. .But it is out of the question
to ask him to pitch three games a week.
There is, however, some talk of Me*
Ctoskey signing Parrott, who -is a good
one.
The trip of tho Saeramontos to San
Francisco was not a.s profitable as the
boys calculated on enjoying. They were
unfortunate in their first same, and it
probably put a damper on the enthusiasm
which was ready to kindle in San Fran
cisco if the team* had kept up its victori
ous inarch.
Bill Brown, the California player, who
has been doing great work in the East
with the Philadelphia team, leads tho
first basemen in the National League.
In 1,001 chances, he made only iiiteen
errors—-quite a record. Hamilton, an
outfielder of the Philadelphia club, leads
the league in batting. His average was
.338. Captain Anson of the Chieagosenme
eleventh in the batting list.
Somo of the Eastern papers are saying
that the South needs Mci 'loskey to form
a Southern League, next year.
It is said that Manager Harris did not
accomplish what he expected to by mak
ing a visit to tho norlh. The baseball
managers up there kept their weather
eye on him for fear be Might take Some
of their talent to California. He was
charged with making overtures to pitch
ers McXabh and Wa.shburn.
In eight successive games pitched re
cently by Frank Hoffman only Jive runs
were made off his delivery. A San Fran
cisco paper says of him: "If Pitcher
Hoffman keeps up his present gait he
will be a record-breaker at the end of the
season. His performances of late are
phenomenal, and yet he relies on speed, a
straight ball and perfect control, lie
clearly demonstrates the fact that the re
straint placed upon a pitcher by present
rules detracts from the value of curved
balls."
Hereafter all games played at San Fran
cisco and Oakland will commence at 2:30
p. m.
The Pacific Field Sport* intimates that
the reason why Colonel Robinson keeps
"Tip" O'Neill in the team is because the
windy coacher lent him (Robinson) some
financial props when the treasury was
low.
President Mono, of the California and
Central Baseball Leagues, has decided
that the Valiejos are entitled to the pen
nant, the silver bat and ball, and all the
glory that goes with a victoriousclub in tiie
Central League. The completo schedule
of games has not been tilled, but the
VallejOS are so far in tho lead that they
can afford to forfeit the remaining games
and still come out ahead. The Napas oc
cupy the same position for second place
that the Valiejos do for first, and Mr.
Mone has accordingly decided them en
titled to second honors. The San Fran
cisco clubs belonging to the league will
fight it out among themselves for the
minor places of honor.
It is Quite probable that Bowman will
quit the Sacramento club in the near
future. He is still being carried on the
"divvy"' roll, however.
ARNOLD PROBABLY ALIVE.
A Sacramento Lady is Certain He Was
In San Diego Last July.
One of the most prominent and reliable
citizens of this city informs the Record-
Vxmy that his wife's mother, who is
well acquainted With the family of M.
Arnold, is confident that the Ed Xeal
who was hanged in Omaha last Friday
was not identical with Mr. Arnold's son
Bernard.
This lady was on a visit to San Diego
last June and July, where the Arnold
family reside, and one day was to have
received a <--ill from ?.Irs. Arnold. At the
appointed hour a message was received
from Mrs. Arnold stating that her son
Bernard was about to leave town with a
> surveying party, and that she was pre
vented from calling in consequenco of
having to remain at home in order to pre
pare him for his trip.
This statement corroborates that of
Kniil Steinman, who says he saw young
Arnold in San Diego so recently that it
. seemed to him to have been but a few
months ago.
It would seem, therefore, that there is
no ground for tho story told by the man
in Dakota—that young Arnold was the
slayer of the aged NehraskajK>up!e, and
that he was hanged theraaW under the
. name of Neal.
DETERMINED TO DIE.
A Koadside Inn-Keepor's Wife Swal
lows Carbolic* Arid.
The wife of a man named Goodrich,
who keeps a saloon a short distance from
Washington, on the road leading to
Davisville and Woodland, attempted to
commit suicide on Wednesday by taking
carbolic acid.
Several persons happened to bd in the
saloon when Gbodrieh learned of the
woman's rash act, and he asked th< ir as
sistance in administering an antidote.
Salt water by the pitcherful was poured
down her throat until she was out of dan-
ger.
She declared, after sho had recovered,
that sho would do the same thing again.

Another Guess at It.
It was stated yesterday that the Su
preme Court would not meet here until
November 23d. The Deputy Clerk now
says the court will be in session on the
10th of that month in this city.
Gratifying to All.
Tho high position attainod and the uni
versal acceptance and approval of the
pleasant liquid Iruit remedy, Syrup of
l'igs, as tho most excellent laxative
known, illustrate the value of the quali
ties on which its success is based and are
abundantly gratifying to the California
Fig Syrup Company.

Basy Fruit-Giowers in a Pretty
Yolo Valley—Tancred and Its
Adjoining Farms.
JN THE SPRINO OF LAST YEAR
Rob-rt A. and Neal R p.arkor MWhM
themselves with Wlllhtm MfKuy. nil of Oafc.
Jand, with a view of searohln c out a suttabl.
location in which to engage In tho profitable
occupation of rruit-growib?. After visiting
ivany localities, they decided on the Cfcpay
Valley, Yolo County, and the lihodes traotat
fancred.
Negotiations were opened with the Capny
v alley Un 4 Company, owntni; the CfMt la
q-iwtlon. With W. 11. Miii P . the General
j Agent of thnt company, they afMtlgM for the
• purchase.of about 220 acres of foothill land
This being more than they h ; vd thought of
taking for their own use, u,«>y spoke *o a
number of friends about it. with tho result
that the tract was divided among the follow*
ing people: B. L. BMnfc, 4O acres; W. T.
Farnett. 20 acres; N. r. Orrathead. 80 irre^
Mrs. L. Givatheau, 20 acres; «'. UeJCSy t Bt
rows; n. d. Karkw. -jo .<ure.< ; E. a. Barker,
UO acres; J. p, lirownlee, Iff IM», E. U. Ff Li^.
lett. lOiicros; josk-ph ll.irlv.r. 10 MM) A. \V.
Kelly' 10 acres, and Kred*»rick Kelly, 10 acres!
t^ofar this had bc»=n merely a prlvste ven
tura of the, gentlemen above named, but io
I talking np the question of dividing the land
I alroudy purchased, ii wus found that so many
j more would like to join it thnn the area of the
j purchase would admit of, thßt It was sug
| g^tedonaDhandß, "Why not -et some more
land and divide it up in the same way?"
Then followed the idea of a stock •■omp.uiy to
take hold of a larger traot and arr..n ff e for f.ha
cultivation of the whole-of It, after subdividing
It according to the requirement of tho sub
scribers. AproviPional hoard was formed, a
prospectus issued, and 11 rial ly, on the sth of
Inne, 1890, tho Western Co-operative, Col.
onization and Improvement Company wa«
dcly registered and proceeded to businesa,
with the following offlcers: President. Will
lain McKay; Vice-President, M. P. Hrown;
Directors—H. c. EIIIh, Charle- Bronko ;ln d
R. A. Barker; Hv^retnryandGrncri! Man.-iger,
Neal D. Barker; Solicitor, C. E. Snook; Trea*
un r. First National Hank of Oakland.
The balance of the tnict, 37;* acres, was pur
chased. A contract was entered into for th«
purchase o! a large number of fruit trees,
vines, eu-. This ewrly pamhata of trees wai
the means of saving between #:?,000 and
•4,000 to the Company, the prices in Horn*
cases having more than doubled since then.
The ideas whion th.- ptfoapecim set forth,
have been but slightly modified and the
progress of the company ha* bet n uninter
rupted. Those who went into it doabttagly
have become enthusiastic, and almost »U the
members arranged to set out ail their lands In
fruit trees, ett;., the first year. Consequently
in this, the first season, some 40,000 trees and
between 20.000 and 30.000 vines will be
I pTttnte©..
[ The satisfactory working of this scheme hat
i had the effect of attracting considerahlo at
tent ion to the work of the Colony Company,
! and a number of people are Bow desirous of
t Joining in with them. Ah additional 260
acres havfr been added to the sixty acre*
originally purchased.
For the company is predicted a very bright
future, as well as for the beautiful valley in
which their operationu are conducted. How
this marvelous littlr- garden has come to beno
loiifj neglected in a puzzle to every one who
has visih-d it, but one thing id very sure, and
(hat is that this neglect will never again b«
felt In the valley.
The fruits set oat are mostly 6f the standard
UKVUm jmicßdi! riprlr-ots, Part lett pears
prunes, »i-s, raisin grapes, etc., while along
both sides of the avenues, throughout tho
tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade,
A cdnsiderablcinumber ot citrus trees are also
heing set out; quite a suftlrier.t number to
demonstrate that these fruits c:>n be kiicccsv
fully grown in the valley, about which the
colon lifts appear to have no doubt, provided
[ proper car^ Is given to the youi^ trees. Neal
- D. B&rker, General Manager of the company,
! resides on the traoi, and to his care is io be iw
j crlbed much of the success of the venture.
Mention should be made of the town-cite,
about which there is a pleasiint innovation
which might with profit be followed by more
j ambitious places. A smali park of some three
acres has been laid out right in the center of
the town. This park it is propo-sed to beiiuttfy
by planting in it trom time to time as many
of the beauties and curiosities of tree and
shrub life as may be obtained by diligent
search nnd a wise expenditure of mouey. It
is not expected that Tancred will erer be a
large and busy city, but it is thought that it
can be made a very pleasant little place t©
dwell In.
A petition has been circulated recently and
very largely signed, aslcing the county to ao
cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a
county road, and to build a bridge acro3S
Cache Creek at this point, In order to give the
settlers on the east side of the creek access to
fnncred Station. The Tancred colonists are
quite willing to give the necessary right ot
way, and are very desirous of having a bridge
there, as the colony lafcds extend along both
sides of the stream. It is thought that it
would be a very wise expenditure ot publlo
money to grant them this very necessary im
provement, as the operations a* such com
panies are of widespread benefit to the whole
county and State. The attracting and com
forts of the cities are well known, but to tboso
who are willing Lo settle oft the land and show
that the country also aflbrds attractions and
comforts and ways of making money pleas
antly, every Inducement should be held forth.
The following is a list of the principat mem
bers of th« Tancred Colony, with the number
of acres owned byench.tind a fact worthy of
mention Is that in euch contract or deed is
sued by the Colony Company thero Is a pro
vision that no intoxicatinar liquor shall evei
be manufactured or sold on the land. The ap
parent success of the enterprise shows that

in the prospectus some time ago, are riot im
