4 THE SAN FRANCI SCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1896. FOR SOUND MONEY AND PROTECTION Ten Thousand Voters Call at Canton and Cheer McKinley. RAILROADERS IN LINE. From Chicago They Jcurney to the Home of the Next President. RECEIVE A EOYAL WELCOME. The Major Tells Why Men of All Classes Join the Battle Against Repudiation. CANTON, O=ro, Sept. 19.—All day.long the tramp of visiting delegations was heard in Canton, and all day long Major McKinley was able to say, ‘‘How beauti- ful upon the mountains are the ieetof him that bringeth good tidings,” for 10,000 voters called to greet him and to cheer him and to promise him their support. The greatest delegation o® the day and of the campaign was that of the railway men. There were nearly 5000 in the dele- gation. They came on ten special trains and traveled all night in common day coaches in order to see Major McKinley. They were all workingmen—railway em- ployes—and there were no officials among them. They marched up the streetsin splendid order, with their own bands. It was a stirring labor demonstration and the spectators on the streets were liberal in demonstrations of delight. Major Me- Kiniey was impressed with the great out- | pouring of Chicago railway employes, and be made them a long speech notwith- standing the fact that he bad to stand in the rain to doit. With the railway men was a fine delegation of commercial teleg- raphers,. nearly 200 in number. M. J. Burke was their spokesman. J. W. Dodge spoks for the railway men. In response to these warmly applanded addresses, Major McKinley said: My fellow-citizens: It would be a hard heart, indeed, which wou!d not be moved by this splendid demonstration. Ibid you each end every one of you s sincere welcome to my | home. Icountitamong the greatest honors of my life to have 5000 representative men of the great railroad lines of the country center- ing in Chicago come to this city to give me their assurances that in the year 1896 they stand by protection, reciprocity and sound money. [Great applause.] These delegations, coming long distances, present a remarka ble phase in our political life and evidence the deep solicitude they have for the welfare of our country. Such a demonstration as this would not be possible if the people of the country were not profoundiy seasible of tie dangerous menace which is presented in the Nationel contest of this year. [Applause and cries of “We are ali interested.”] You are here to-day, men of all parties and ereeds, because you want to defeat the effort which is now being assiduously made to de- stroy the credit and currency of the country and also because loving law and order you Want to stamp out the spirit of lawlessness and repudiaticn which now threaten it. [Applause and cries of “That's what we will do.”] Your active interest in this contest for good government, good morals and good money will be helpful in every part of the eountry and in- spiring to ihe friends of good government everywhere. The railway is the mightiest fac- tor of modern eivilization. If one proof above any other be asked for the superiority of the United States above any other country of equal or approaching territory, I know of no better evidence than the fact that of the 427,000 miles of railroad in the world we have nearly 200,000 miles in this great Republic. [Applause and cries of “Good.”] To trace their history during the past twenty years would be to write the progress of the country itself, so intimately are they associated. To say they have cost $9,000,- 000,000, employ 1,000,000 men, with 30,000 locomotives, 27,000 passenger cars and over 1,100,000 other cars; that their capital stock is $4,640,000,000, with funded debts of §4.800,000.000, yeerly trafic earnings of $1,000,000,000, net earnings of $318,000,000 and dividends of £84,000.000 ennually, con- veys but a faint idea of how fully they enter into every line of business and affect directly or indirectly the great masses of our people. Not only are lives constantly in their keeping, but every year they become more and more essential to our subsistence, convenience and comfort. [Applanse.] | The greatest tribute which can be paid to the railroad men of the country is that high degree of care and attention and skill which ihey give to the service, perfecting the most delicate and responsible dutjes engaged ina business 1 which life and property are in- volved, where heedlessness or carelessness will sacrifice elther or both; and yet the per- centage of loss i3 merely nominal in both ceses. Not only is skill and endurance re- quired in their exacting duties, but the great- est watchfulvess and fidelity, more often the keenest intelligence to think and act instantly under circumstances the most perilous and trying. [Applause and cries of “That’s right, Major.”] Ihave said that railroad men are cool and collected, brave and vigilant in the discharge of their duties. [Great applause and criesof “Hurrah for McKinley.”] And surely greater praize could not be given them than this, “Faithful unio death” has been truly written of many a brave engineer, conductor or brake- man who perished rather than abandon his train when that was possible, at the expense of others. [Great applauseand criesof “That's right.”} 8o worthy are these devoted servantsof the people, so waichful, that railroad accidents are said by competent authority to be neither as frequent nor as fatal as other modes of trans- portation. “Your spokesman hes justly ob- served that no body of Americans have greater interests at stake in the pending political cam- paign than the railroad men, who are every- where taking the liveliest interest in the proper settlement of the great prineiples involved in it. [Applause.] The triumph of free silyer would mean to you, as the adoption by Mexico has meant to the railway employes of that country, a decrease in the purchasing power of the money in which they are paid fully one- half, with comparatively no increase in wages. [Cries of “We don’t want 1t and we will not have it.”] Notonly that, but it would mean inevitably decreased employmentand distress. The 50-cent-dollar employes of the railroads Wwill no more &dd to your salaries than the rail- roads would add to their income by decressing the size of their cars. [Great cheering.] The rallway men are deeply interested in the prosperity of the country. [Cries of “You bet we are.”] They know from experience that when the country is prosperous railroads ere prosperous [cries of “Yes, we do’’] aud when railroads are prosperous they have steady work and remunerative employment. [Applause.] They know when the business of the coun- try is poor the business of railroads is poor and the employes suffer both in time and pay. [Cries of “That’s right, major.”] They are interested, t0o0, in good money [cheers] and they are in favor of law and order. [Great epplause and cries of “Yes, yes; hurrah for | “What bath God wrought!” McKinley.”] They want to perpetuate our free institutions for their children, forever and forevermore. [Tremendous cheering.] They are zealous, like all zood citizens, for the honor of the country [eries of “We are”] and they mean tomaintain unsullied the proud name of America. [Greatcheering.] They 4o not believe in either public or pri- vate dishonesty. [Aplause and cries of *“No, Dno.”] They war.t the Government to pay its debis in the best currency known to the com- mercial world. [Applause and cries of “That's Tight.”] And they want the rallways to pay them in the best currency of the world. [Great cheering and cries of “Hurrah for McKinley."] Currency that will not be questioned and that will pass current everywhere on its face value without discount or depreciaiion. [Renewed cheering and cries of “That’s what we want.”] Icannot conceive of a more potential force in our politics this year than the men who trav- erse this country from one end of itto the other, and to feel that a large percentage of that force is enlisted in the Republican cause and is fighting ior the success of the Republi- can principles is an assurance of victory which will gladden every patriotic heart. [Greatap- plause.] You are always solicitous for the trains in your charge; you guara them with sleepless activity from wrecks and wreckers, and as citizens of this glorious republic you are deeply concerned in its progress and nonor, and will guard with equal care from wreck the credit and currency and courts of the United States. [Great applause and cries of “We will.”] The signals of danger to public safety and honor are as quickly, as faithfully heeded by you as are the danger signals the roads have established for the safety of life and property committed to your care. [Cheering.] The perils which lie along the path of the Na- tion’s progress you would help to remove as you would remove those along the track of the mighty railroads you operate. I welcome the railroad employes of this country as allies in the great contest for the country’s honor and the country’s flag. [Applause.] The contest this year, my countrymen, if it results in a victory for the Republican party will not be & mere party victory, but a victory deeper and broader and more significant than that, for it will represent the votes of men of all parties, who unite with the Republican party in the patriotic purpose to preserve the honor of the country. [Appiause and cries of “You are right.”] With the many delegations that are visiting e to-day, the one crowding the other, Iam sure you will excuse me from talking at greater length, as I would be glad to do to this splendid audience of earnest and patriotic men. 1thank you, one and all, for this visit. It has been an inspiration to me, and I believe that it will be of invaluable servica to the cause in which we are all engaged. [Great applause.] And now, Mr. Burke and gentlemen of the| Telegraphers’ Association of Chicago, I am glad to greet you here with the railroad em- ployes, who have honored me with their presence. [Applause.] Perhaps none of us ap- preciate tne degree of universal acceptance that the telegraph has obtained. Iremember as & boy of reading how Morse, the first to put the telegraph into practical use in the United States, sent his first greeting across the wires—the significant message, Little did the people know then what & gift he had made to his future countrymen and to the remotest ages. [Applause.] When the Democratic Na- tional Convention in 1844 was in session at Baltimore it is said the news of Mr. Polk's nomination was instantly telegraphed to Washington, sixty miles distant; but it found no credence there. Men did not believe in the accuracy of the statement and waited until it was verified by the newspapers or the return- ing delegates. [Laughter and applanse.] Per- haps the news was surprising where a differ- ent resuit was so confidently expected, but it illustrates the credulity of the times and the lack of confidence in scientific accuracy. Con- trast this lack of faith with the story of the old man who, it is reported, had learned to read the ticking of the wires, waited patiently at the telegraph office in Chicago for many hours for news from Washington that Lee had surrendered. He sprang to his feet with the happy excla- mation which proved to be his last words, “Now 1 can die heppy.” [Great cheering.] Congress gave very scant ald to the great in- vention, and some of the old statesmen laughed to scora a proposition to make a small aporopriation for connecting Washington and Baltimore by a telegraph line, saying it was chimerical and could not be done [laughter], and yet they lived to see such lines practi- cally girdie the globe. American genius and erterprise, wiser than the law-givers, was soon extending wires everywhere, until now I believe it is estimated that the American lines extend for 250,000 miles, with 800,000 miles of wire, 26,000 offices and 42,000 em- ploves. Everywhere the service is efficient and reliable [great cheering], and I congratulate the telegraphers of Chicago and the repie- sentatives of thoze of the entire country on the marvelous skill, rapidity and accuracy with which the millions of messages almost daily sre handled and transmitted. [Ap- plause.] It is gratifying, tco, to find them as sensible in politics as in business [great appiause]; as quick to enhance the prosperity of the country and es unitedly in support of the right as they are uniformly attentive and obliging to the public. [Great applause.] I thank you, my fellow-citizens, for your calland appreciate most highly indeed your assurances cf support, which your eloquent spokesmen have presented to me. I wish I could shake hands with every man in this audience. [Cries of “We wish you could, too, major.”] Idonotknow thatIcan do it, but I am glad to meet you and greet you and am giad to know that you are enlisted in the great cause as against public repudiation. [Tremendous cheering.] The delegations from Button and Mer- cer counties were just behind the Chicago men. As soon as they could find room they took their places near the stand. There were 1700 in the two delegations. Major McKinley said to them: My Fellow-citizens: I appreciate the message which comes from the farmers, from the work- inzmen of those two counties, and from my feilow-citizens generally,and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their warm tender of assurance of fidelity to the Republi- can cause and to the Republican party. [Cries of “Hurrah for McKinley.”] What we want in this country, first and fore- most, is work for the American workingmen. [Applause.] AndIamone of those who be- lieve in the doctrine of protecting American factories against foreign factories. [Criesof “Good.”] What we want is a ‘chance to work, and when we have wages the home market is improved for the iarmer. We want honest American dollars. [Criet of ““That's right.”] You maust vote for the party that you be- lieve is more likely to give you the best chance for work and the best coinin payment, and you must judge for yourself which party that is. [A voice: “We already know.”] I thank you for this call and wish I could talk longer, but must bid you all good-by. [Continued ap- plause.] A delegation of Pittsburg and wWestern Railroad men from Pittsburg, Pa., were the next callers, and Major McKinley ad- dressed them briefly. At 3 o’clock the commercial travelers of Cincinnati called. Mayor John A. Cald- well accompanied them. They brought the First Regiment band of the Ohio Na- tional Guard. Levi C. Goodale was spokes- man. Major McKinley was most heartily cheered when ne mounted the stand. He said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com- mercial Travelers’ Association of Cineinnati: It gives me great pleasure to welcome you. here to Canton and {0 my home, a pleasure en- hanced by my acquaintance with many of you personally. 1f 10 thesix great States, including Minnesota, which originally were comprised in the old Northwest Territory, of which Cincinnati was the capital. you ada the rapidly growing States beyond the Mississippi and east of the Rocky Mountains and those to the south of the Ohio and between it and the Guif, and contrast their present population and importance with what is was in 1860 or 1870, even the most cursory examination will be full of in- terest, and suggest possibilities for the future of the most amazing charaeter, In these nineteen States and two Territories 1s & greater popuiation to-day, and more than half as much wealth as in the whole country in 1860, & popuiation approximating 38,000,- 000 in 1890, a gain since 1870 of pactically 100 per cent and property of the assessed valua- tion of nearly $10,000,000,000. This was the achievement of twenty years, this creation of & new nation within the old, greater than the parent itszlf under the wise lews enacted and enforced, and under the policy marked out by the great Republican party. In these twenty years the protective policy was steadily pursued, and our present gold standard of values was the basis of all the money issued, whether gold, stlver or paper. Yet there are those who insist upon declaring that this excellent monetary system, and that the dollars we now have in circulation, levery one of which has been worth 100 cents in gold every minute of every hour of every day since January 1, 1879, is impoverishing the West and bankrupting all 1ts people. [Applause.] The Mississippi Valley is surely part of the ‘West, and the marvelons growth told by the census figures, the official authority, proves the falsity and absurdity of their statements. The new promising States of North and South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and Minne- sote are certainly young giants of the West, and their growth in population from 1,940,000 in 1870 to 4,290,000 in 1890,and wealth of $1,- 825,000,000 demonstrates to fair-minded men that however much they have suffered by drouths and poor crops, they are still reason- ably vigorous [laughter] and in no very great danger of being abandoned or bankrupted. [Applause.] All have made remarkable progress; all have gained immensely in both peoplc and wealth, the older States not nearly so rapidly as the newer, but all going anead at a steady and healthy pace, and all the time they have been making this progress we have been under & protective tariff and uvon a sound money gold Lasis. ‘The great trouble in this country is that we have not enough to do for our people. [Ap- pluuse.] We had every man employed In this country in 1892 at the best wages thathad ever been paid to any workingmen in the world. What is the matter now? It is lack of confidence. What we want in this country, in the first instance,isa restoration of confidence, and the only way to have confidence in the Gov- ernment and smong the people is for the Goy- ernment to have a revenue policy that will supply enough money to pay its expenses. [Applause.] You cannot create confidence among the people if you have no confidence in the public treasury. Our dollars now are all full and sound aud ail we want is an opporthnity to earn them. How can this be secured? [A voice: “Elect McKinley.”] Wer, 1 do not know what you may think about it, but T believe the best way to restore prosperity to the people of the United States is to do all our work &t home at the American cale of wages and on the basis of American iustitutions and ideals, fully recognizing the necessity of a free, enlightened and dignified citizenship. [Applause.] Following closely upon the commercial travelers came a delegation of 1500 irom Pittsburg and vicinity, also commercial travelers. Major McKinley addressed them briefly un lines sirailar to his recent speeches to delegations of that character, and at 4:30 eame a sprightly delegation of Hungarian-Americans from Cleveland. Their spokesman, J. C. Bloch, made a long address to Major McKinley, who bad been standing in the chill air on an ex- posed platform occupied with the varions delegations, Msjor McKinley made a neat response. Then came a delegation of Cleveland hardware men, numbering several hun- dred, whom the Republican candidate ad- dressed in & happy vein. Major McKinley also spoke to a delega- tion from Oakmont and Verona, Pa., and a big delegation of steel-workers from the Carnegie mills, Pittsburg. pms e CANDIDATE HOBART TALKS. Gre @ at Heandguarters by a Delega- tion of Commercial Travelers. NEW YORK, Y., Sept. 19.—There were many callers this morning at Repub- lican National Headquarters. Senator Quay and Chairman J. H. Manley of Maine were alsc early on hand. It was sa:d that Senator Quay intends to have a meeting of ihe -executive committee to adopt & plan of campaian in regard to the Southern Btates, and also to decide upon some definite plan in regard to all doubt- ful States. It has been represented to the commit- tee that there is an exceilent chance of carrying Alabama for McKinley and Hobart and a decided effort will be made to carry that State. Encouraging reports are also coming in from Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. A delegation of commercial travelers calied on Vice-Presidential candidate Hobart to-day at headquarters. The dele- gation was accompanied by his spacial guest, the Hon. Charles E. Warwick of Philadelphia. Mr. Hobart thanked them for their kindness and told them that he koew the commercial travelers were a set of men who would not be bunkoed by any Chicago platform. Mr. Hobart said in his address: Tam very glad to meet you, gentlemen. I do not propose to make & speech this morning, but I.would do an injustice to myself and would be ungracious to your kindness if I did not thank you heartily and generously for the beautiful words of welcomg and cheer which you have professed. Iknow that thisenthu- siasm is born of your love and your loyalty for the ticket which I have the honor to repre- sent. When I think of the commercial travelers, I think of them 88 & class of men who have never been “bunkoed,” or if any one of them ever has been, hisiory has failed to record it. And so, whenever, since the nomination, I have thought of the commercial travelers as an independent class of citizens, I have re- garded them as a class of men who I know will not be bunkoed by any piatform like the Chicago platform, embracing as it does false political doctrines and policies inimical to the honor and the integrity of the Nation and favoring a debased and dishonest dollar. Your organization has been a great help to this commitiee in a great many ways, all of which we fully appreciate and are quick torecognize. Your membership reaches all over this wide and growing country, and there is from each of you a continual stream of influence radiat- ing wherever you go. And the reason why your organization is so all-powerful and at the same time so satisfactory to the committee is that, whereas the time of the committee is taken up with instructions to voters, we realize that the commercial travelers are ac- customedl to make sentiment wherever they 80, and they know as well as the Nationsl Committee where to go, what to doand how to do the important work laid out for this campaign. There was great cheering as Mr. Hobart concluded. Then the members of the delegation were personally introduced to Candidate Hobart, Senator Quay, Chair- man Manley, Genetal Osborne and Com- mitteeman Scott. Chairman Manley was cheered by the delegation. e WORK NEEDED IN THE WEMT. But the Republican Party Organization Is in Fighting Trim. CHICAGO, I, Sept. 19.—Chairman Hanna left for Cleveland to-night, and, after spending Sunday at home, he will go to New York for ten duys. He has been in Chicago louger this time than on any other occasion since bhe organized the Western headquarters, and he has been constantly at work at his desk. He ad- mits that hard work is needed in the West to win, and when he returns he will devote all his time until the close of the campaign to this center of the political battle. He said before leaving that he was better satisfied with the Western situation than when he came here, The party organization from the Ohio to the Mis- souri River was not only insplendid fight- ing form, but it had accomplished more in the way of direct and tangible results than ever he or his associates had antici- pated. During the last two weeks there had been a graduak brigntening of the political horizon. He was satisfied that Mr. McKinley would not only carry the great central States oi the West by handsome majori- ties, but that he would probably win other States whose electoral vote is now confi- dently claimed by the Democrats. Henry C. Payne will again take charge of beadquarters in Mr. Hanna's absence, and will devote ail his time to the trans- action of business here. He leftlast night for his home in Milwaukee to return Mon- day morning. A Bryan and Watson Electors. TOPEKA, Kaxs., Sept. 19.—A middle- of-the-road Populist State Convention was to have been held here to-day for the pur- pos@of placing Bryan and Watson elec- tors in the field, but it was called off by a telegram received by Jonn F. Willits, the National lecturer for the old Farmers’ Al- liance and the representative of Mr. Wat- son in Kansas. The vice-presidential nominee sent the telegram and gave in- structions for an electoral ticket to be placed on the baliot by petition under the Australian law. It was jeared the fusion Populists would get control of the conven- tion and the petition plan was adopted to make sure of separate electors. i uign it Riot at a Meeting. CLEVELAND, Oxuro, Sept. 19.—At Cen- tral_Armory to-aight, Terence V. Pow- derly addressed a Republican meeting. Perfect pandemonium broke loose when the chairman was introduced, and it was almost impossible for him to proceed with the meeting. A serious riot seemed im- minent. The police were summoned and seven arrests were made. SAN JOSE CONFESSION. Harvey Allender's Story of the Murder of Venanz Crosetti and Miss Feilner. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 19.—Harvey Al- lender, who was yesterday convicted of murder in the first degree, and upon whom the sentence of death will be passed next Friday, this morning told his story of the killing of Miss Walburga Feilner and Venang Crosetti on Sunday afternoon, August 9. Allender complains that he was not accorded a fair trial. He says his case was ‘“railroaded” through, and that most of the testimony was perjured. The condemned man seems resigned to his fate and is not worrying over his con- viction. After denouncing Fred Schiele,’ who he says was the cause of the row between himself and Crosetti, Jamison, Jepson, Barker and Miss Lawler, all witnesses for the prosecution, he told of his meeting Miss Feilner and the shooting. “I first met Miss Feilner at Kenney’s dancing-school in the Phelar: block,” said he. ‘‘After we had been acquainted about six months, and had danced much to- gether, she told me she loved me. She said she took a liking to me tha first time she saw me. She said she had intended to go away, but having met'me she would re- main. “After we got going together we had several spats. Idon’t want to ialk about the girl now, but she used to tell me so many lies about everything and that caused our trouble. Never in my life did I insult her or any other lady, and [ know hundreds of them in San Jose. The girl was always fooling me, making appoint- ments and then placing me in a ridiculous light. Toe night of the celebration of the Fall of the Bastile last year I met herata party. She then asked me to see her the next Saturday nightat Firstand Fermfl?o streets. 1 met her there and she immie- diately got Night Watchm: Blanchard and, pointing me out, said: *There he 1s.’ “At the time I first met the girl I was a different man than [am now. She kept me in that frame of mind that has worn medown tothe sickly man I am. Nervous- ness won’t allow me to stand stiil a min- ute. That girl wrecked me, but I don’t want to say anything about her now.” Regarding the double murder he said that when he met Crosetti and Miss Feilner, Crosetti starred toward him and made a movement as though to drawa revolver. Then he drew and fired at Crosetti, but missed him and killed the girl. Crosetti pounced upon Allender and was kiiled. - MISS MACKINNON RETAINED, Will Continue as Preceptress of the San Jose Normal School. BAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 19.—A special session of the State Normal School Trus- tees was held to-day, President Henry French in the chair. All the board were vresent, including Henry French, Mrs. E. A. Wilson, Frank Angell, M. Dinkelspiel, R. E. Wilboit, Governor Budd and State Superintendent Samuel T. Black, Miss Elizabeth Blaisdell secretary. The meeting was called for the purpose of deciding whether Miss Elizabeth Mac- kinnon should be retired as preceptress of the school, she having refused to retain her position owing to the salary being cut from $1800 to §1400 per year. At a meet- ing of the executive committee the resig- nation had been accepted, but Governor Budd produced an opinion of Attorney- General Fitzgerald, showing that the ac- tion of the committee was void. The board fixed Miss Mackinnon’s salary at $150 per month, to date from August 27, which makes it the same as before. PSR s 8AN RAFAEL PAPER CHASE, Hounds Reach the End of the Course Ahead of the Hares. SAN RAFAEL, Oav., Sept. 19.—In the paper chase to-day from Hotel Rafael the hounds turned the tables on the haresand came in two minutes ahead of them. The course taken was very mountainous.

Tragic Events of the Past Cor- nected With Vital Issues of To:Day. PATHOS AND HUMOR BLENDED, Story of the Father of His Couatry and a Silver Dollar That Evokes Applauss. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Sept. 19.— Uv at dawn and off for Washington a* 7- o’'clock was the way Bryan began his pro- gramme for to-day. He arrived here at 9 o’clock, delivered a speech at 11 o’clock and left for Washington at 1:49 p, M. Ash- land, the seat of the Randolph-Macon College, had Bryan for two minutes, and most of those who heard him there were students. To them he said: 1believe this county claims the honor of being the birthplace of two of America’s great- e:tmen. Henry Clay was born in this county, as was also Patrick Henry. I believe the pol- iey for which I stand in this campaign in some respects revives the memory of both men. Henry Clay in 1845 deseribed the effects of contracting the currency, and Patrick Henry was in favor of an American policy. At1l o’clock Bryan was taken to the meonument erected to the memory of Mary ‘Washington, mother of George Washing- ton, who lived here with her distinguished son for many years. Here a stand had been erected and the candidate addressed a large gathering of Virginians. Con- gressman Jones introduced Mr. Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentlemen: Iam graterul to the Mayor of your city for his eloquent words of welcome, I am giad to renew my acquaint- ance with my colleague in Congress who hus so kindly presented me, and I am pleased to greet the psople who have assembled in such large Dumbers upon this occasion. 5 Fredericksburg is not a large city, and yet it is rich in incidents of great historic valde. Here the women of America have reared a monument to Mary, the mother of George Washington. [Great applause.] Iam glad to stand on this spot and I am giad to feel the in- fluences which surround her grave. In & campaign, especially in a campaign like this, there is bitterness and sometimes abuse lev- eled against the candidates for pub.ic office. but, my friends, there is one character—the mother, the candidate for the affections of all menkind—against whom no true man ever uttered a word of abuse. [Great applause.] And there is one name—“mother”—which is vever found upon the tongue of Lhe slanderer. In her presence all criticism is silent.

MONTEREY, Cavn, Sept. 19.—-Several children who were playing in the yard of Louis Wolter, on Franklin street, to-day were amusing themselves throwing coal oil upon each other by means of a tin cup, which they kept refilling from a large oil can near by. Finally the Wolter boy, who was pretty well soaked with the oil, complained that he was getting the worst of it. One of the smart youngsters informed his compan- ions that he knew how to clean it, as he had often seen his mother set fire to oil spilled on the floor to get rid of it. Accordingly, a match was produced ana lighted and placed to Master Wolter's trousers. In a moment the child was a mass of flames, and this would have been the fate of all the rest of the children had not the mother of the Wolter child, hearing the screams of her boy, rushed out of the house and finaily succeeded in smothering the flames, but not until his leE. from the foot 1o the thigh, was terribly burned. The child’s recovery isidoubtful. —_—— SANTA BARBALLNOS IMMERSED, 4 Number of Crittenton’s Converts Bap- fized in the Ucean. - . SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept. 10.—A large crowd assembled upon the ocean boulevard to-day to witness one of the most unique and picturesque spectacles ever presented in Santa Barbara, when a number of converts who acquired religion during the recent Crittenton revival meet- ings were baptized by immersion in the ocean by the Rev. Mr. Westenberg, pastor of the Methodist Church. The service opened with a prayer, after which the con- verts gatlered .in a semi-circle abont the clerz , Who catechized them as to their faith. The ladies and children were robed in white and the gentlemen in or- dinary morning dress. Mr. Westenberg, who is an excellent swimmer, was arrayed in a black surplice, and he advanced into the surf and took his position there, while the converts were led ou: to him one by one, holding handkerchiefs over their mouths to keep from swallowing salt walter during the process of immersion All passed the ordeal gracefully and suc- cessfully. The candidates thus received into the church were: Mr. McCaleb, Mr. McDaniels and , Biduey Heltman, Pearl Thompson, little Miss McCaleb and the Misses Johnson. Dressing tents were erected on the beach, and after the cere- mony the converts hastily changed their clothing and departed for their homes. The myrtle plant is an emblem of love. The ancient Greeks and Romans planted it in their graveyards. Joy’s for the Jaded and Good Health for all Mankind.
