After several announcements by General Secretary Mc- Coy, the California Quart-t sang *Free- dom, Home and Native Land.” Rev. Aifred Kummer, D.D., pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Churcn of Oskland, had short notice that he was ex- pected to deliver a patriotic address, yet he more than justified the call, for he held the attention of the audience closely for more than an hour as he talked to them of the kinship between Christianity ana patriotism and led them along the lines of Christian citizenship. The address was devoid of all partisan ideas and lifted the hearers out into the broader plane of one’s duty to the Nation as a Christian citizen. The doctor’s address was most forcibl snd was received with marked apprecia- tion and much applause, which did not seem out of place even at a religious gath- ering. Among the announcements made was the notice of two anti-saloon conventionsg to be held in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, one at 10 A. M. and one at 2 p. M. to-mor- row, Tuesday. Notice was also given of the grand mass-meeting for men to be held at Woudward's Pavilion next Sun- day at 2 p. M. There will be a malechorus of 250 voices, and Chief Lees has consented to let the Police Glee Club sine. They will give “Throw Out the Life Line.” The meeting is for men slone and the local people are tryiug to make it the bigeest meeting of the week and are using every means to pack the immense hall.

D. A. Brown, president of the First U. | P. Society of Christian Enaeavor, has the Stars and Stripes and C. E. emblems float- ing from his residence, corner of Turk and Franklin sireets, also from the tree tops in his garden. This society is hard at work getting ready for the great con- vention. Their members and thote from Stewart Memorial of Ban Francisco, the United Presbyterians of Oakland and Alameda, the Presbyterian societies of Newark and Alvarado and the Friends of | West Berkeley, will assist at Mechznics’ Pavilion in looking alter the interests of | delegates from Oregon and Canada throughout the entire convention. These | same societies will on Saturday evening, | July 10, at the church corner of Golden | CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH SIMPson MEMORIAL Gate avenue and Polk street, tender a re- ception to the delegates from New Jersey | and Delaware. | This church will also be headquarters for the Juniors and lntermediates during the convention. Mra. E. Benedict, chairman, assisted by an able corps of | willing workers, will look after their wel- fare. A very pleasing feature in this con- nection will be the pansy reception and entertainment of the Juniors in the church parlors at 2 o’clock Wednesday, July 7. — | TRUNK BLOCKADE., Confusion and a Dearth of| Space at the Ferries. Tiers upon tiers of trunks last evening | cecupied all the space under the great | dome at the ferry depot. It will be neces- sary to provide storage room uptown for | the vasi numbers of trunks which are hourly arriving from the East. The capa- | city of the baggage depariments is taxed to the utmost, and at times com plete | congestion takes place. new ferry building has been greatly inter- | fered with, as in the south wing bacgaze | from 3 to 6 p.

Tke transfer azents, assisted | by the hotel runnmers, tinally became xo | persistent and obnoxious thatit was found | necessary to close the gates until the po- | lice could clear a passage. This was only accomplished after several men had been clubbed off their feet, and then order was | restored. Captain Dunlevy of the harbor police says that he will piace twenty or | more men beside the usual detail at the | ferry, and then he will feel assured that order will continue to exist. e i THE GREAT CHORUS. | Chairman James G. Jones of the chorus committee is one of the busiest men in the | City. It isnot yet known just how many voices there will be in the chorus. but it is thought there will be about 1800. The committee has already heard from nearly 1600, and this does not include the orches- | tra of 100 Jpieces and nearly 100 star solo singers.

Thousands of Tourists Crowd the Tabernacle. The Endeavorers Make the Largest Crowd Ever Seen in Salt Lake. SALT LAKE, Urag, July 4.—Salt Lake City was in the bandsof the Christian Endeavorers i0-day. The entire city was theirs, and tbey were not in the least backward in taking advantage of the fact. Just as soon as they arrived they began to see the sights, and to their credit be it said they left liitle undone. The trains were late, and this caused the | abandonment of the intended parade, but | there was an impromptu procession asthe ; immense crowds wended their way to the | Tabernacle via the main streets of the city. It was a sight never before seen in this | city, and one which the visitors will prob. ably not see again save in San Fraucisco, toward which all eyes are pointed. For | an hour or more before the services were | men and women, boys and girls toward the Tabernacle square, and at the time | announced for the beginning of the ser- | vices there was not a vacant seatin the great building, which has a seating ca- pacity of 10,000, besides the space which | is usually occupied by the chorus, dignitaries of the Mormon church on Sun- | day climbed the visitors, and they seemed | to be proud of the owportunity afforded | them to hold down the cushions whereon | the forms of the Mormon officials usually | reposed. The slow trains delayed the | opening of the exercises, and it was 2:30 when the strains of the great organ were beard. This caused a hush in the great assembly, which had been very noisy but | a moment before. Besides the vast throng |in the building, fully 5000 stood around Work on the | perance Union will hold a reception every | the doors or strolled around the beautiful | walks and lawns, viewing with unfeigned ificent _temple, the as- | sembly hall, the statue of Brigham Young !and the other objects of inverest so dear | to the beart of the average tourist. Serv- | ices at »ll of the other churches seem to | be lost sight of in view of the great meet- | ing in the Mormon Tabernacie. And be | it said, that while there are many of the | party who look upon the trip from a reli- | glous standpoint ounly, there are many | who appear willing to learn a little more | of the wor'd than was in their possession when they left the roof-tree in the East. The kodak fiends are more numerous | than ever before, and there will be some | fearful and wonderful pictures to develop | when the amateurs return home. Up to the present time thre are probably 10,000 strangers within our gates and these wiil | be augmented by probably 5000 belore | morning. Those who arrived yesterday morning were in good luck, as they missed | the delay of from twelve to fiftcen hours | of the sections following. ‘I'nese will | leave for the coast in the morning and the otbers will follow just as fast as the rail- | ways can carry them. So far all have been well taken careof and there has been no scarcity of either food or rooms; on the contrary, owing to the delay of the railways, many people who had prepared for visiters, who had set an extra plate or two, waited for the guests who never | came. The scene in ths Tabernacle when the exercises opened was one that must long linger in the minas of the visitors. From the dome of the vast structure hung the [largest flag ever made in America, 180 feet long and 80 feet wide. In the field were forty-five stars. Piled high in front of the pulpit proper were a myriad of cut flowers and potted In the seats usually occupied by the fthe audience many of the officials who oc- cupied the seats inthe lower tier. From every point streamed forth the red, white and blue of old glory, and high in frout of the mammoth organ, in prismatic colors softened by the background, stood forth | the word “Utah.” | _There were probably not less than 8000 Endeavorers present at the afternoon services, and there were many who could not get in the building, notwithstandine the fact that it bad been announced that tbose who wore the badge of the Endeavor- ers would be given the preference. Several thousand Salt Lakers poured into the building and were among the most attentive to the services, which ce- cupied about two hours and were of the usual character, aided, however, by the fact that 10,000 people as with one voice | sang the songs of the Cbristian Kndeav- erers and joined in the amens. When the services were over and as the | immense assemblage scattered over the | erounds to rake a look at the place many may never see again an old couple wear- ing the Jowa badge wera heard discussing the meeting and its probable results. *I hope,” said the old man, *‘that our work of this day has not beea in vain so | far as the Mormons are concerned.” “Ido not think it has been, father,” said hiz wife. *Ineverfelt sonear heaven as 1dd while [ was in there.”” And the old couple were then lost in the crowd. In the evening the various pulpits throughout the city were fitled with v sit- ing clereymen and were well attended. In consideration of the fact thai the Mor- mons had foregone their regular afternoon worship, services were held in the Taber- nacle this evening. There were not less than 12,000 people present and of these 8000 wore a Christian Endeavor badge, many deserting their own churches in order to attend a regular service of the Mormon church, and incidentally prob- ably to hear the world-famous Tabernacle choir, which took second prize at the World’s Fair in Chicago and which is well knowsn iu 8an Francisco. Although it was well understood that the cere- monies were to be of a strictly relicions nature the great audience forgot all about decorum for once, but only for once. They had been awaiting the opening of the doors. They were impatient to hear the men and the women and the girls and the boys of the choir. The arc lights sputterad a little and just as darkness was settling down over ihe audience broke into a mass of flame, lighting up a scene such as is rarely witnessed. The audience was composed for the| large part of Jadies, and they had dis- obeyed the State hat law. There were | t | The applause was soon checked by the | arising of the choir &nd the rendition of sages and flowers in their hands. From the galleries the *'pit” pre<ented a scene of a flower carden. Suddenly th: big electric star above the organ flared out | and with it the word "“Utan’’ and under it the Cnristian Endeavor monogram. Then | it wus that the Christian Endeavorers for- | got for the nonce that they were in a house of worship and the applause was almost deafening—an impromptu tribate to the pood people of the State, who have been doing all that human beiugs could | do to make their visit a pleasant one. | an anthem. Prayer was delivered by a Mormon elder, who so touched the heartsof his| hearers that a chorus of fervent “amens’ ascended at the close. Then the choir gave, as it only can give it, the favorite Morm on hymn, “O, My Father,” and it ; was noticeable thal many present wanted to express their appreciation by applause. . W. Panrose, a high official in the Mormon church and a well-known news- aper man, followed in a aiscourse of an Eour, in which he explained the doctrines | and tenets of the Mormon church, and | there were no more attentive listeners| than the ladies and gentlemen from the Eastern States. Tne usual prayer and singing ended the ceremonies, and the well-interested crowd of 15,000 filea out throu:h the grounds. George O. Cannon of the first presi- dency of the Mormon church also ad- dressed the Endeavorers. At the conclu- sion of the church services proper the great audience seemed loth to depart, so the choir gave the visitors an impromptu recital. The crowning success of the evening wasat the cloe. Backed by the great | organ, the choir and visitors inside and out ot the building sang ‘“America.” Such a scene was never before witnessed here and the roll of melody could be heard half a mile away. 3 MANY INTHE SOUTH. Endeavorers Are Greatly Out- numbered by Tourists. LO8 ANGELES, CaL, July 4 —The Christian Enaeavorers from abroad and the local ones who acted as entertainers had a memorable Sunday.

The rib- bon badges were observable every- where. The ounly formality of the day’s pro ramme was the Sunday afternoon rally at Immunuel Presbyterian Church, which was quite inadequate to the de- mands of the crowd. Rev. C. S. Mason, president of the I.)s Angeles City Union, presided, and addresses were made by A. W. Rider, W. E. Sweet ana A. C. Bmither, all relating to the growth and work of the Union. The first of these was principally upon the convention at S8an Francisco and the good expected to be accomplished by the great gathering. Mr. Sweet’s address was on the inspiration of the trip from Colo- rado. Mr. Sweet's delegatior from Colo- | rado is the largest that has arrived, alli other delegations being smaller and scat- tering. Five trainloaus of visitors came to-day, over forty carioads in all, but the Christiun Endeavorers among them were much in the minority. Members of the local reception committee express some disappointment at the small proportion of Endeavorers among the crowds of visitors, but they count confidently on a much greater number coming from the North after the convention. To-morrow the Enceavorers will be en- tertained by the Chamber of Commerce. Drives by carriages and tally-hos will be g'ven them throughout the day. The first train to depart for San F.ancizco will be the Los Angeles special, which wiil leave at 7 P. M. Monday, and will be fol- lowed by another two hours later and the others at intervals until all are dispatched. 'SCHEDULE GONE. Serious Congestion of Ex- cursions Is Reported at Ogden.

Patriotic Optimism, by Rev. Mr. Wilson. At the evening service of St. Pater's Episcopal Church Rey. Mardon . Wilson preached a patriotic sermon. He said in part: 0 BE a Roman citizen in the s of Roman prosperity was in iis way the greatest thing in the worid. For vari: ous reasons the Roman republic and the: Roman emvire faded away, lost their place in the world and are oniy history now, and with them, though passing very s.owly, faded the glory and power of Roman eftiz:uship. The last 100 years have seen the develop- ment of the mightiest republic the world hs ever known. The frezdom of man has worked itself iuto & prominence and & dignity snd & power in this great Nation which has-had no equal in the history of the world. Those wno are struggling for human free- dom have watched our experiment with the. deepest interest, because hound up with our success or failure is the success or failure of human aspirations the world over. As we succeed and develop the lovers of human freedom 1in every land thank God and take courage. and grow firmer in the conviction ' that in time ali shackles of tyranny and bond- age and oppression of man by man shall-fade away. Ifitshould prove thai our experiment atsell-government shouid fail then the cause of human liberty wonld have received a blow | from which it would require many a long year for the world to rally. 1 w.uld put tois as strongly as I could, be- cause there seems such a tendency to under- value our privileges and dignities as Ameri- can citizans; because I believe God bas chosen this wondertul Nation as the place in wiiich is being worked out the solution of many of the world’s problems, especially be- cause here has been developed the idea of a man, as a citizen and & Christian, who can live potb lives, as I may say, without allowing either to infringe upon the otuer; because this noblest coneeption of human freedom is being worked out here, and now I say I glory in my American citizensbip and thank my God for my privileges, and urgemy fellow-men toamore active und positive recogniiion of their privileges. The very exuberance of this noisy Fourth of July demonstration i in the right direction. It is glorious to be an Ameriesn eitizen, and itis well that once in the year our boys should be encouraged to patriotism and to the devel- opment of the National idea. And =0 In the light of the Fourth of July and in the convietion which it brings again and sgain that we are working out & little of the divine plan for the perfecting of human character—gor this is that for which our Amer- jcan manhood stands—we all become Opti- mists. We revive ourjaith in God and im his - goodness. We joy in the greatness of the Na- tion to which we belong. And we are always ready to see the brizhtness of the silveror the golden lining to the clouds which some- times seem for a little while to hinder our progress and our prosperity. Particu arly this year, grasping the dignity and the glory of American ciiizenship, let us - each and all follow the example of the present . Secretary ot the Treasury and be on the watch for the indications of the return of more pros- perous days than we have seen for a few years past. Remember that a large share of ‘‘zood times’ is in the belief that times are growing better. Aud remember that the dignity of American citizenship must always tend to up- lift the man and bring him into better nar- mony with his surroundings, and therefors the more we recognize our high heriiage as American citizens the more optimistic do we b’eunme, and so help un the return of “better times,” DECLINE OF NERVE FORCB RINGIXG IN THE EARS VARI: OCELE HEADACHES BACKACHES LOST MANHO0D Cured by the celebrated treat« ment, Hudyan.
