There were 1500 sinz- ers in the chairs, and considering that 500 of them had never before sung with the others or orchestra it was remarkable the way they did. The canopied roof fairly raised with the volume of song as it ascended and then rolled alonz throughout the entire build- ing. In the remotest corner every note was easily distinguishable, while lor blocks down the street the voices could be heard above the din of the street.

The souvenir dealers will have trouble to-day or to-morrow. Onevery hand they are offering their wares and soliciting patronage. They are not aware that the courts will deal with them before the week is much clder. Ine C. E. monogram is copyrighted and all rights are reserved by the United Soclety of Christian Endeavor. Treasurer William Shaw is the business head of the united society. It is he who proiects their rights and insists upon roy- alty from every raanufacturer of the em- blem in any form. H. Rief, an active Endeavorer of Oak- land, who has a booth in the headquar- ters, is the only man who has the sanciion of the society for the sale of a souvenir at this conveuntion. His is an aluminum the s ze of a half-doliar and has stamped upou its face, ‘‘Sixteenth International Souvenir, California, '97,”" and in the cen- ter a C. E. monogram. On the re- verse is inscribed *‘Mizpah. /The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another.” It is also made in silver. +Mr. Shaw will have all violators of our copyright and patent arrested to-mor- row,” announced Secretary Baer vester- day. “We must protect ourselves and tuos: to whom we permit the use of our emb'ems. attend to.”’ The United Society depends upon the sale of their badges and literature and the proceeds of royalty for their support, hence it is necessary for them to be very prompt in any case of this kind. COLORADO DELAYED. The Colorado delegates will be among the last to reach the convention. This is |owing to the fact that thev have been playing the part of hest to the Christian Endeavorers passing through their State. Every effort has been maae tosecure the | 006 will and graces of the delegates as well as of the trustees of the United So- ciety, This is to sccure their support for the twentieth internationai convention for Denver 1n 1900. This question will be | settied in Nashville, Tenn., next July. Denver attempted to secure the conven- tion of 1895, when the California Union captured the prize at Montreal, but with- drew when they found that California was in the lead and that the latter State would help them out at a later day. Itis expected rhat they will do some election- eering during the coming week. IT WAS A HEARTY WEL- ' COME. Rev. J. F. Williams, who headed the Connecticut deiegation, showed little evi- dence of haviag just arrived from a trip across the continent. He was aciive and eager for work, and said he was never more pleased than with the glorious wel- come that was extended to him and ali the visiting Endeavorers by the people of San Francisco. He said: “I never saw anything like it before. Look at the street decorations, the mag- nificent halls, the enthusiastic people all working for the one cause—to raise the banner of Jesus Christ apd carry forward He always has that matter to this good work. We came to San Fran- cisco expecting to give heart and strength to the members here, and find that they fairly outdo anything ever attempted in the East. This is the greatest welcome we have ever had, and everybody, regardless of creed or position in society, seems bent on making those coming from the East feel that they are welcome. “Thnose little wclcome badges which greet us from every breast are most sig- nificant and make us feel at home as soon as we set foot within your gates. We were greeted with a hearty we!come and hand- shake—yes, a double handshake—as soon as we got within the borders of the State, and there has not been a minute since our arrival that we have not been made to fecl that everybody is elad we have come. I look for a zreat uplifting of soul for all our members to come from this meeting, and believe that the San Francisco En- deavorers will reap much benefit from the gathering in renewed strength.” e iblaagrie s SECRETARY BAER’S TALK. The Golden Rule, the official paper of the Ctristian Endeavor Union, which will be distributed in the convention hall to- morrow, coutains much of interest to all members. In it Secretary Baer has a personal talk to the members, in which he saye: “So I admonish you, as I do myself, to stand true to Him, never lowering the standard. Let us keep ourselves ocut of sight, and let God lead. We must de- crease, and he must increase. Just sosure as we al.ow the critical spirit to predomi- nate anywhere in our lives, and put our- se.ves and plans between God and God’s plans, just so sur: wiil Christian endeavor go backward instead of forward, and we, i hail be sidetracked. Beware of hteous spirit; beware of critical Beware of Self. 8:1f, O beware of —_——e—— POLICE DUTY. Captain Wittman bad charge of the police detuil in the Pavilion yesterday.

Mc- Connell of the Children’s Hospital were in charge of the emergency hospital in the Mechanics’ Pavilion last evening. They were in demand at the opening of the doors and bad quite a busy eveninz, Three cases of syncope ware treaied, the vatients being Mrs. Willam Rader, Mrs, Jackson and Mrs, George Pollock. Mrs. Biering of 809 Montgomery avenue was treated for a sprained ankle. The young lady attendants were quite profi- clent in their work and received many gracious words of thanks from their in- voluntary patients. A Ruiiroad to India. Railroad connection with Iudia is again under discussion in England. A route now proposed runs from Port Said eastward across the peninsula of Birnai to the Guii of El Akabab, and thence fol- lowing the thirtieth patallel of latitude to Bussorah. From Bussorah the main line crosses the Shal-el-Arab and Karun riv- ers by swing bridzes, and following the coast line of the Persian Gulf and Mak- ran to Kurrachee. Such a line wou'd re- duce the time between London and Kur- rachee to eight days, and would run through regions where British infiuence is predominant and political complications attacuing to lines passing throurh the Russian sphere of influence are avoided. —————————— Bank of Engiand notes are made from new white linen cutiings—never from anything that has been worn.
