R. Wei's ot Boston who spoke on "Th"
Tenth Legion." An addrtss on foreign
missions by Rev. J. C. R. Ewing of La
hore followed, in which he declared tha'.
teachers from India who have visited
thie country are not representatives of
the Hindooism of today, but persons who
have absorbed the truths of the Sermon
on the Mount. Rev. J. R. Davies of New-
York made an earnest plea for system
atic and proportionate giving to God.
The missionary roll of honor was then
called and a number of visiting mission
aries introduced to the delegates. An
eloquent address by Rev. Nehemiah
Boynton of Detroit, on home missions,
was the last speech of the morning.
Then the committee of was called
to the platform and Secretary Baer pre
sented' the testimony of effective work
through it to the Golden Gate Union.
This was not on the. regular program and
proved to be a genuine surprise.
A JUNIOR RALLY
There was a great rally ot the junior
societies at the Mechanics' pavilion to
day. Of the lb,ooo people within the walls
of the immense structure at least one
half were children and their interest in
the proceedings seemed to surpass that
of their elders at previous sessions.
Hearts were hard indeed that were not
touched by the ringing notes from the
great choir of young throats and it was
in vain that the leaders of the meeting
tried to restrain the enthusiastic audi
ence. The appearance of the. tiny tots
fronv the Chinese mission evoked wild
applause and their singing and recita
tions were so unexpectedly good that
they were repeatedly encored. The meet
ing was presided over by Rev. J. H.
Bomberger of Columbus, Ohio. After
the praise service ar.d devotional exer
cises Mr>. Francis E. Clark of Boston,
who was introduced as the mother of the
society, spoke to the children, bringing
greetings from many lands. "The Song
Of the Heart" was the subject of an il
lustrated taik by Rev. Robert F. Y.
Pierce of Philadelphia, who held the
close attention of his auditors. An ex
ercise by the San Francisco juniors
called "The Junior Garden" was ex
tremely interesting. It consisted of a
practical demonstration of the benefi
cent effect of a Christian life, various
plants and (lowers being represented by ;
different groups of children. President i
Clark, who w as on the program fur a few
remarks, contented himself with intro
ducing San Chom, the only Corear.
member of the organization, and Miss
Newton of Foo Chow. China, was the i
bearer of the beautiful banner presented j
by the Endeavor organizations of the j
orient to the united societies. After
more singing the meeting adjourned.
WOODWARD'S PAVILION
The morning session at Woodward's :
Pavilion was attended by an tnthusias- I
tic audience that half-filied the vast j
auditorium. President Clark presided. !
Praise service was conducted by A. T.
Sutherland, and devotional exercises,
were conducted by Rev. H. Mosser of:
Reading, Pa. The'first speaker was M iss
Lillian Staple Mead of Adelaide, whose
subject was "The World's Prayer
Chain." She said, in part:
"We have heard a great deal during
this convention about the Jubilee bon
fires which blazt d all over England and
from there to Gibraltar and Malta, then
to India, and so on, until they blazed all
around the world. It has seemed to me
that this was something like a world's
prayer chain, only the- fires of
this Jubilee were kindled in Eng
land and those of this pray
er chain in America. While there is a
likeness, there is a difference, for their
bond is that of a great empire, while ours
is to the country of Him who rules over
all and whose kingdom endures forever.
This is the only bond asked from those
who belong to the world's prayer chain,
that they shall be bound to God. the
King of Kings, our Father. It is not that
we need be Christian Endeavorers, not
that we must subscribe to any particular
creed, but it is that we shall be faithful
and trust in Jesus Christ and look to
Him for strength, and that we w ill pray
every day for this great movement."
Rev. Charles Roads. D.D.. of Chester.
Pa., spoke of "City Evangelization Out
side of the Churches." Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman, D.D.. of Philadelphia deliv
ered an address on "Deepening of the
Spiritual Life Inside Our Churches."
AFTERNOON MEETING
In the afternoon Woodward's pavil
ion was packed with an animated crowd
of Endeavorers, including a delegation
of white cappe d convention ushers Who
occupied the center of the auditorium.
Secretary John Wii'.is Baer of Boston
presided. The song service conducted
by J. J. Morris of San Francisco was fol
lowed by devotional exercises under the
leadership of J. Maskey of Salt Lake
City.
"The Practical School of Christian
Endeavor Methods and Ways of Work
ing," was the name given to the proceed
ings. The most interesting feature was
a series of so-called open parliaments
conducted by well known Endeavorers-.
They were conducted by the leadersask
ing for suggestions for practical work,
whereupon enthusiasts arose in every
part of the hall for one minute sugges
tions. At times a. dozen persons were
endeavoring to talk at once, and tho
leader had trouble keeping school. One
Of the leaders. Treasurer Wiliiam Shaw,
gave a numerous tone to his queries an t
kept the audience in a roar. Other lead
ers of parliaments were F. J. Grant
Shields of Philadelphia, John. R. Gary
of Baltimore, L. W. H. Lew is of Seattle
and H. N. Lathrop of Boston.
One of the musicai at'.ractior.9 was
singing by a Chinese quartet in native
costume. Following this came- a paper
entitled, "The Lookout Committee." by
A. E. McDonald of Chicago. He said In
part: "It goes without saying that the
lookout committee should be composed
of the best material in the society,
"I would emphasize as its most im -
portant wotk the admission of new
members. How can we manage tc ad
mit only those who will prove faithful
and zealous. I am afraid members are
sometimes admitted carelessly. In out
desire to swell our numbers we are
sometimes not careful enough about
finding out if the candidate is ready to
take upon himself the responsibilities
membership Involves. I believe the can
didate ousht to meet wilh the commit
tee and have the pledge carefully ex
plained and then be questioned as to his
desire and purpose to keep prayerfully
all of its requirements. And to this end
I believe the committee should have a
weekly meeting and have it understood
when and where it is so that the
entrance door to the society may be al
ways open to receive any w ho are will
ing to enter. If this plan is followed no
one can become a number Ignorant of
what membership means, as I fear is
now sometimes the case."
Miss Liilie M. Dierter of Sedalia, Mo., |
discussed the "Prayer Meeting Commit-1
lee," and was followed by Charles A.
Forse of St. Louis, who spoke of "The
Social Committee. Miss Frances P.. Pat
terson of Chicago made a favorable im
pression with her earnest presentation
of "The Missionary Committee."
"The Other Committees" were consid
ered by Miles M. Shand of Washington
D. C. The concluding address was by
Charles T. Studd of London. England
whose subject was "The Source of All
Power for Service."
The audience drifted into the streets.
and, taking possession of the streetcars.
Indulged in one of their favorite songs, I
"Speed Away."
EVENING MEETINGS
The evening session in the Mechanics'
pavilion, led by President Clark, was one
of the most notable assemblies ever held
on this Coast. It is estimated that over
15.000 persons listened to the closing ex
ercises of the convention. In his re
marks Mr. Clark said that from authon
jtative figures he could assert that nea-
| ly 400.000 men, w omen and children had
[attended the meetings during the week.
He asked for quiet rather than demon
i strative applause, and wanted their last 1
i hours together here to be shared with
I God. In keeping with this suggestion,
the services throughout were devotional
in character. Rev. J. V. McCal! of Min
eral Wells, Texas, led the prayers, the
sermon was preached by Rev. J. Wilbur
Capman of Philadelphia, and General
Secretary Baer was in charge of the
consecration meeting. Before adjourn- ,
j lng the vast audience united in singing-
I the Doxology, the volume of sound ac-
I tually causing the decorations of the
lofty hail to sway with its intensity,
i The consecration meeting at Wood
| ward's pavilion in the evening was char
] acterized from the first by an Intense
| spirit cf devotion. The leader. John Wil
lis Baer of Boston, requested the audi
ence to desist from applause, and for the
first time during the convention the en
thusiastic response of the Endeavorers
was expressed only In the flutter oT
handkerchiefs.
It was intended to secure, as the cli
max of this great religious gathering, an
: outpouring of the spirit in consecration
, of the work all over the world during the
j coming year. Under the direction of J.
[J. Morris of San Francisco, the usual
song service was held preliminary to the
devotional exercises by the Rev. John
Y. McCall of Mineral Wells. Texas,
The musical features, which followed,
i included two selections by the Clara
Schumann quartet and several numbers
,by the California male quartet. The
great audience- listened to an earnest dis
! course by the Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman.
D. D.. of Philadelphia, who spoke of
I "The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit."
After a series of favorite hallelujah
songs, followed the consecration under
t Secretary Baer. It was like an old-fash
: ioned revival time.
One of the final announcements to the
effect that London would be the meeting
place of world-wide Endeavorers in 1900
precipitated a murmur of approval and
a flutter of white handkerchiefs.
The last songs were given with an anl
: mation only indulged, in by Endeavor
j hosts about to be separated for twelve
i months.
j With "God be with you till we meet
! again." the great spiritual gatherings in
! this building had passed into religious
history.
Tomorrow the Christian Endeavor del
egates to the number of 10.000 will be
the guests of the people of Oakland.
There will be a barbecue and address on
| the shores of Lake Merritt.
, Today a. message of greeting to the
' Endeavorers was received from the con-
Ivicts in San Quentin prison. It was
' i greeted with the Chautauqua salute of
I white handkerchiefs.
EASTERN RATES
Some Care Is Necessary to Prevent
Demoralization
CHICAGO. July 12—Chairman Calu
j well of the Western Passenger associa
j tion left tonight for San Francisco for
: the purpose of taking, charge, of the
east-bound Christian Endeavorer busl
; ness for all the roads of the association
i A meeting of the association was held
i today, and after the situation had been
I thoroughly discussed, it was decided
that the best thing for the chairman to
do was to go to San Francisco in par
son and see that the rates and arrange
ments for the convention are carried
cut. Mr. Caldwell has the most ample
powers, and no matter what action h?
I may decide upon after reaching San
'Francisco, the roads of the association
j will back him up to the fullest extent.
The situation In San Francisco has
become quite serious, and the western
roads are determined to prevent the Im
pending demoralization if they can.
SINGERS' FARES

PENSION CLAIMS
!An Important Ruling- Made by As
sistant Davis
WASHINGTON, July 12.—An import
ant decision construing the rights of
pension claimants, in line of duty cases
was rendered today by Assistant Secre
tary of the Interior Webster Davis. The
issue is made in the case of Henry Mil
ler, private in Company K. 101 st Ohio
infantry. After being relieved from
| guard duty one -day Miller voluntarily
. assisted a teamster in watering mules,
and while so occupied was fired upon
and injured. The department of the in
terior has regretted such eases as not in
the line of duty. Assistant Secretary
Davis, however, reverses the pension
bureau's action, holds that the claim
ant was not disobeying orders or violat
ing army regulations, but was aiding
a comrade in protecting government
property; was doing something which
he not only had a right to do, but was
commendable, and so was acting In the
line of duty. The adoption of this pol
icy will affect many claimy. The case is
held to be practically similar to that of
a soldier hurt by the enemy firing on
him whiie he was off duty in his tent, in
pursitfir.ee of any employment at whicn
he had a right to be employed.
The Craven Case
SAN FRANCISCO. July 12—After a
welcome rest of ten days the trial of the

day, while the attorneys for the plaintiff
vainly endeavored to introduce the let
ter which Aitken had written to Mrs.
Craven rejecting her contract In evi
dence.

EGAN'S MURDERER
Makes Full Confession of His Brutal
Crime
SALT HAKE. Utah, July 12.—Charles
M. Phelps, who was held, with Jesse F.
McMillan and Robert Skewes, in con
nection with the murder of John Egan.
whose body was found in an alley yes
terday, has made a confession to Chief
Paul and Captain Es-linger. The story
came out late this afternoon, and in
brief is as follows:
Phelps says he and Skewes took Egan
into Qumlan & Osborne's saloon, with a
View to robbing him, and that they had
no intention of committing murder. The
plan, he says, was simply to drug him
and deprive irn of his personal effects
They gave him a dose of morphine,
which was "fixed up" by McMillan. The
dose, however, was not sufficient to ren
der Egan helpless, and another doss
was given him. This, says Phelps, not
only rendered Egan insensible, but
killed him. They then robbed him of
$4, whic was divided between Pheips and
Skewes. The watch, it is claimed, was
lost in the scrimmage. Phelps says that
after the robbery he and Skewes dragged
the body from the building to the rear
of the premises, and that the abrasions
on his nose and face were caused in that
manner. These facts substantially were
stated also before the coroner's jury,
with the exception that Skewes said
he had nothing to do with the matter
except that he was-asked to help take
the man from the building.
The inquest was not finished today,
and will be resumed tomorrow. The
men were held without bail.

HE DID ALMS
And Tried to Keep His Generosity
Secret
NEW YORK, July 12,—The Journal
and Advertiser says: James J. Tipton,
owner of sixty grocery stores in London,
England, is in the city. In an interview
he said: "I am interested in the news of
the coal strike. Such a strike amounts
to a national calamity. The govern
ment ought to be willing to do anything
rather than have such a disaster come to
pass. I never yet had a strike, and I
have 10.000 people in my employ. I get
in touch with the workers."
Speaking of trusts, he said: "When
they try to stop me from trading in any
article, I turn around and manufacture
it myself."
Mr. Tipton was very modest about the
achievements through which, he has at
tracted public attention in England, al
though his face was illumined when he
described how 310,000 outcast poor were
dined in one day out of the fund collected
by the Princess of Wales, the fund that
would have been unworthy of mention
without the great grocer's contribution
of $125,000.
"I wanted to see the poor people en
joy themselves," he said, "and I was
not ambitious for notoriety in the mat
ter. In fact, I took every precaution to
keep my name out of the papers, but
some clerk in the Mayor's bank, where
my check was deposited, told the secret."
ANTI-FOREIGN RIOTS
Tien Tsin Inhabitants Murdering the
Resident Foreigners
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.—The Oc
cidental and Oriental steamer Doric has
arrived from China and Japan, two day"
ahead of schedule time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 29th.
The Japan mail gives a summary of
correspondence from Tien-tsin, which
shows that the state of the foreign colony
in thotcityis alarming. Three Christians
we're killed in the last three day s of May
on charges that they had stolen native
children in order that they might serve
as offerings to ensure the safety of the
foundations of the new French Catholic
cathedral to be dedicated June 21st.
A Tien-tsin correspondent says: "It
is reported' that a conspiracy has been
formed to attack the foreign settlement
on June 21st and to burn the Roman
Catholic cathedral. The consuls of the
various nationalities have deemed it
prud-ent to telegraph the facts to their
governments and to ask for the protec
tion of men-of-war. The gate leadin?
from the foreign settlement to the Chi
nese quarter is closed every night at 11
o'clock. The Japanese gunboat Akagi is
now at Taku in response to appeals from
the Japanese consul. Chinese soldiers
are quartered in various parts of the city
for the purpose of checking riots.

Wolcott. Stevenson and Payne to lunch
eon at Windsor on Saturday, when they
were received by the queen and pre
sented to her majesty their commissions
as special envoys. The reception was

JUDGE CURTIS DEAD
The Nestor of the California Bar
Passes Away
SACRAMENTO, July 12— N. Greene
Curtis passed away today from an at
tack of muralgia of the heart. He has;
been in. failing health for several years,
but it was not thought his end was so
near. The bar of California has thus
lost one of its oldest and most eminent
lawyers of the past generation and one
who was 1 known as the "Nestor of the
Bar."
Judge Curtis was born at Raleigh, N.
C, in 1826. He went to Memphis, Term.,
in his youth and came to California in
1850. In 1853 he was elected recorder of
this city and was re-elected, holding the
office for three terms. He was also a
member of the state senate for three ses
sions. He took part in the most cele
brated criminal trials up to 1884, among
others that of Laura D. Fair. While in
Memphis Mr. Curtis was initiated into
the order of Free Masons, and after his
arrival on this coast soon became a
prominent member of the order. In 1857
he was elected the sixth master of the
grand lodge and was re-elected in 1855,
1559 and 1860. He delivered the memo
rial address at the death of Past Grand
Master Belcher, who was chairman of
the committee on jurisprudence, and
succeeded him as chairman of the com
mittee. During his last term as grand
master he laid the cornerstone of the
state capitol. He was one of the organ
izers of Washington lodge No. 20, of the
F. & A. M., and was its first master. He
was also a member of Sacramento chap
ter R. A. M.
His funeral will take place at 4 p. m.

under the auspices of the grand lodge of
California.
