THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1896. MUSIC DROVE THE CLOUDS AWAY Under the Arch of Evergreens in Haywards the Concert Band Played On and the Sunshine Came. A NEW CONSTITUTION. Important Amendments Made by the Grand Council, Young Men’s Institute. BANQUETING THE DELEGATES. Loyal Toasts Were Eloquently Re- sponded To, and Wit and Song Whiled Away the Hours. HAYWARDS, CaL., May 21.—The Y. M. L. Grand Council was at work bright and early at 9 o’clock this morning mak- ing new regulations for subordinate Jodges | and amending the constitution so asto have it conform to that of the Supreme Council. It is worthy of remark that up to this vear there were only two jurisdictions of the Y. M. I.—the Atlantic and the Pacific. Now there are seven jurisdictions, the present Grand Council representing the Pacific and the seven being represented by a Supreme Council. The order is but an infant in years yet it has grown to giant proportions. That it is founded on a basis of enduring pros- perty 1ts history shows. Its greatestin- crease has been notea wherever its ene- mies have been the boldest and the most numerous. It seems to thrive best when persecuted the most. The on did not close until nearly 7 o'clc in the evening, and the annual election of grand officers was crowded over | into to-morrow, it being made the special order for 10:30 A. M. The banquet began at hali-past 9 o’clock this evening, and was one of the most elaborate rs of the kind ever wit- nessed in Haywards. It refreshed the beys exceedingly after their long siege of business, and they will rise in the morn- ing invigorated for their great battle of to-morrow, the annual election. One of the most enjoyable features of the session was the excellent open air con- cert this afternoon. It awoke old Hay- wards as she had never been awakened before, the liberal and enthusiastic applause which the band received demon- strated beyond a doubt that the people in | the early fruit belt are not only lovers of | music but excellent judges of 1t as well. | K to-morrow morning the will resnme its delibs ast 10 the annual election | At 2 o'clock, instead of tions.

Now that the sessicn is drawing to a close it is fitting that the gentlemen who have made ail the arrangements should be given the proper credit for their care- ful and copscientious work. They omitted no detail, they spared no expense to make the welcome of Haywards to the Y. M. L. as freehearted as the most exacting guests could require. The committee of | arrangements was composed of the fol- lowing named gentlemen: F. B. Hooson (chairman), F. 8. Terry | (secretary), J. E. Crooks (treasurer), Dr. | A. J. Powell, J. E. Geary, Ed Haas, John | Obermuller, Thomas Silva, Ed Green, R. Liguori, Willism Pann, G. Langan, W. J. Ramage, William Pimentel, S. Simons, K. Burbridge, R. Reid, M. Ker- win, H. Garcia, P. H.

Important Changes and Additions Made to the Constitu- * tion. | HAYWARDS, CaLn, May 21.—While there bas been plenty of play for the dele- very hard work during the season of closed doors. Owing to the creation of a Supreme Council and the adoption by it of a consti- tution to govern the order all over the country, it was necessary to change the constitution of the Grand Council in order to be in harmony with it. This involyed considerable preparation and study on the vart of the\council. This being the first Grand Council held by the Pacific jurisdiction of the Y. M. L since the organization of the Supreme Council, it was necessary to name it so that it might pe identified as such in the records of the order. Many members were in favor of starting it with the number 1 and an approvriate name by which to des- ignate it from the first Grand Council. After considerable discussion on the point | it was decided to adhere to the original numbering and designate it as the Twelfth Grand Council of the Pacific Ju- T ?proplgalo and defend the hith: !

Considerable time in the afternoon ses- sion was spent in the discussion over the maintenance of the headquartersin San Francisco. It was decided to make an allowance of §100 per month for this pur- pose. The election of grand officers was made the special order for to-morrow morning at 10:30. Telegrams of congratulation were re- ceived from many parts of the Union. One was from Fred Kuene and D. B. O'Connell, grand president and grand sec- retary of the Grand Council of Kentucky. | The Grand Council of Illinois in session | in Chicago, through D. T. Jennings, its grand president, sent a telegram of con- gratulation to John J. McDade, supreme | president. Dues for subordinate lodges were fixed at a minimum of 50 cents per month. The salary of the grand secretary was fixed at $1500 per year and of the grand treasurer at $250. The office of chaplain was provided for in subordinate councils. John C. Geary of No. 91 of San Leandro was seated in the council. Rev. Peter C. Yorke presented the fol- lowing amendments to the constitution, which were adopted unanimously: ARTICLE X. Section1.

He is a natural born wit, and has been the life of the party since the | assembling of the council.

A motion was adopted providing for | chaplains for subordinate councils. | —_— THE BANQUET. Council were native sons, and that the toast was in its proper place, next to “The | Ladies,”” at the head of the list. ‘The honor of responding to **The Y. M. 1" fell upon James Gallagher, a delegate from the vinelands of Fresno. Mr, Galla- gher is a bricht young lawyer and leading | citizen of that place and an eloquent speaker. He told of the humble beginning | of the order, the meaning of its motto, An Elaborate Spread of Good Things and Eloguent Toasts.

John McDade, one of the oldest and most faithful members of the order, re- sponded to *The Supreme Council.” . “Faith and Fraternity” was the stirring | theme of which W. Stanley made the most. The response to “The Board of Direct- ors’” was made by A. R. Denicke on be- half of that body. J. T. Greany responded to the toast ‘California.” ““Our Country” was the sentiment on which Frank Murasky made a happy soeech brimful of patriotism. Mr. Mu- rasky is a fine elocutionist and delivered the stirring sentences in his adaress in a very effective style. “Future of the Y. M. L,” a subject of unlimited range, was handled by John Lynch. He made the most of his oppor- tunity, and the tabies rattled again and again with the din of applause. This completed the regular order of toasts and volunteer sentiments springing up from all quarters brought forth many | enthusiastic speeches. It was an early hour before the banquet was declared at an end. ———— SWEET MUSIC ROSE. Open-Alr Afternoon Concert by the Oakland Band. HAYWARDS, Car., May 2L.—The open- air concert .by the Oakland Concert Band of sixteen pieces was billed for 2 p. M., but | the warm rain fell drearily on the green hills and the fat orchards that make Hay- wards one of the prettiest garden spots in Cafifornia, and the band waited for the sunshine and the patches of clear blue sky, which came about 3 o’clock. The bandstand was a streetcar under the big aich of evergreens. George H. Richardson, the leader, occupied the con- ductor’s station, the approvriate place for him, while the young man with the bass drum thumped away in the place where the car-driver is wont to whack the Hay- wards carhorse with a bull whip. The population came out upon the side- walks and sat at the neighboring windows where they could hear the music. Chairs were set in front of the leading places of business for the accommodation of the pretty girls, and they formed a bou- quet of beauty that was admired by the visitors more than the music. The programme was carefully made up, the popular and catchy airs of Balfe and Bailey being interspersed with choice bits from the more studied compositions of ‘Wagner, Guonod and Rossini. The solos were exceptionally well played, the clar- ionet, cornet, trombone, barytone and xylo- phone being applauded by the loud clap- ping and encores of hundreds of people. The concert was sadly missed by the delegates, they being in session in Native Sons® Hall until nearly 7 o’clock 1n the evening. The following is the programme of music: “Erinnerung an Taunhauser” ..R. Wagner Overture, “Mirella" . “harles Gounod Recltation and aria from “Bohemian Girl”...

Some Give Off Sufficient Illumination to Read By. | A widely circulated work on the natural wonders of sea and land says gravely that there are many insects that furnish a far superior light to our own lampyris or fire fly, called by children “lightning bug.” The great lantern fly of India can supply a light which is quite strong enough to read by. In this instance the light ema- nates from the head, instead of from the lower body, as in the firefly. In the Antilles the coloeptera, the fire- bug of that region, is of great use, being employed in place of lamps by the poorer people. In Cuba it is the custom of women to inclose these insects in glass cages, where they emit light enough to work by. Travelers there also, when passing through the wood by night, affix a fire- beetle to each of their feet, by which their ‘way is fairly light. The Creoles are given to the practice of deftly arranging these luminous insects in their hair, where they produce a dazzling effect superior to jew- els. The negresses at their national dances scatter them over their airy garments, when, in their luminous movements, their bodies assume the appearance of being robed in flames. —_—————— A rnenl, simultaneous census of the world for the year 1900 is asked for by the International Statistical Institute. It can be taken, il slight modifications in the time of their regular censuses are made by the chief countries in the world. 11 [SUNSET DISTRICT HAPPY Resolutions of Gratitude Framed for the Board of Supervisors.
