LY 14, 1897. 2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, young Endeavorers through the halls and laboratories, Much interest was found by the visitors in the museum, the botanical and tural gardens and the giant, higtoric oaks, The broad stretch of open campus, which is dry and parched at this season of the year, presented anything buta pleasing appearance, but the remainder e grounds formed feaiures of con- bl interest.

The whole 2000 were then enter- tained with sc ¢ drives and refresh- m until the hour had elapsed. Then everybody was trausferred. Those who went out in the sieamcars returned on electric-cars and vice versa. The electrie- cars on the return journey stopped at San Leandre, where the same bountiful pro- gramme was gone t 2b,and all landed in Oakland after an alternoon ot perfect enjoyment. Tne eff: of this hospitality was very noticeable. The guests could not sufhi- ciently express their thanks, and all were surprised to find a country and a psople so very different from what they ex- pected. C. T.C uential business man of § 0., expressed the sentiment of every visitor when he said to Chairman Laymance of the excursion committee: “You certainly grandest country on earth. have the I can’t seem 1o get enough of this cimate and I am As going to stay here at least a month. ble and perfectly ion and s willing to g ow everything to vis very one of a we king adver- tisement for ’ for years to come, and the effeci of observations can- not fuil to have effect on East- ern opinion of @ GATHERING UP THE THREADS Committees and Officials Still at Work Yesterday. Resolution of Thanks Covering Everybody and Then a Banquet. While the great Christian Endeavor convention is over there were heard yes- terday several echoes reverberating from the bombardment of the outworks of Satan. Many delegations departed for tours around the State and to their homes, but the officers, those faithful servants whose work is never done, remained be- hind to clese up the business of the ses- sion and gather together the loose threads. | While there was no meeting at the big pavilion, the crowd was fully as great there yesterday as at any time during the progress of the convention. Friends were getting together, delegations were making arrangements for their trip home, and curiosity-seekers were oat in force to see what was going on. Already preparations were being made for the big concer:, and the workmen were considerably impeded by the throng constantly coming and go- ing. But the inspiration was no longer there; the convention light had gone out; it was the shell with the spirit flown. At the Palace Hotel there was a differ- ent air; there was bustle; there was busi- ness. Yes, and there was pleasure, the kind of pleasure that is strictiv material, for it was in the nature of catering to the inner man in the way that it is said to be | easiest to reach men’s hearts—through the stomachs. There was a luncheon— one of those cheons that tickle the p= ate without ding spiriis to keep up the spirits. It was a iuncheon given by the trustees of the Christian Endeavor Union to the committee of 1897 in compliment for the noble work done—the work that made the convention the grand success that it was. At 9 o’clock yesterday morning the trus- tees of the union assembled in room 390 at the Palace to talk of (nhe future and iay their plans for the coming vear. The principal talk was upon the effort to be brought to bear on kindred societies in order to get them all to join in one and make it the scrongest and larzest religious sccieiy in the world. While the trustees have no official power to take action ways and means were discassed to bring about the desired object. Following this was a general discussion of State conventions and plans were tormulated by which it was hoped (o bring aboul a better attend, ance upon these mee The i . ing States were represented in the con- ference: New York, sDelaware, Canada- Missouri, Nevraska, Texas, Oregon, Wash- ington, Montana, ada, Cafifornia, Hawaii, Teanessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maine. Rhode Island, New Hampshire, lowa, Minne- sota, Wisconsin, Nortn Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Indian Territory and District of Columbia. After much discussion the foliowing resolutions were nassed: “Resolved, That the council, composed Attention Christian Endeavorers—Yel- lowstone Park Triw. It has been reported that the Northern Pa- cific Railway have booked all the Yellowstone Park business that they will be able 1o handle, of the trustees of the United Society and the presidents of the Staie unions of Christian Endeavor, voicing the senti- ments of the entire convention, and grate- fuily recognizing the overwhelming kind- ness with which we have been met on all sides, desires most heartily to record its profound appreciation of the services ren- dered by : “The commiltee of 1867, whose masterly erasp of details and spiended efficiency leit nothing lacking for our comfort and the success of the gr-at convention; “The cities of San Francisco, Sacra- mento and Oakland for characteristic Western welcome and hospitality, and the State of Caiifornia for legislative wel- come; “The railway officials for their diligent efforts to conquer everwhelming diffi culties of transportation, due in part to their own lack of hin Christian En- deavor probabilities; “The police, the cotductors and motor- men, the ralway empioyes and ali public servants for the patient and thoughtful courtesy everywhere extended ; “The press, for the insight and the sym- pathetic spirit of the editorials and the rull and accurate reports of the meetings, by which the influence of ihe couvention has been spread throughout the country; “The convention choir ior its constant service and leadership in song; “The churches and pastors whose doors were thrown open in fraternal welcome and broadest interdenominational fellow- ship; *“T'he omnipresent aids aud committee- men tor tneir untiring endeavors in our behalf; and the community at large for an unsurpassed manitestation of cordiality and inerest.” Following the unanimous adoption of these resolutions President Clark, in te- ball of the trustees, presented each mem- | ber of the commitiee of '97 a beautiful Christian Endeavor pin, consisting of the monoeram, with the “C’’ ~et in pearls and | the “E” in garnets, in remembrance of | their faithful services. The giit was ac- knowledged for the committee by Chair- man Rolla V. Watt. At the close of the meeting a luncheon was tendered 10 the committee by the trustees, and for two hours they sat at the horseshoe-shaped table in the conserva- tory of the Palace, where eighty covers were lail for the guests. TR THEY ARE GOING HOME. Thousand Visitors Are Speeding to the East. But They Left Probably a Cool Million Dollars With Us. Ten ““‘We are going home to-morrow” sang thousands of voices last evening atthe big depot on the other side as they sat around waiting for their trains to be made up. They were going home very rapidly. The exodus began before the consecration meeting Monday night, and within twenty-four hours 10,000 of tke visitors who have helped toswell the population were on their way home. It was a tired lookinz crowd, too, and there were no songs of joy and glad shouts of greeting as they fretted and fumed at the delay in making up the trains. The songs that have been heard from the ferry to the Cliff House were not sung, but all sang the one hymn, “*We are go- ing home, no more to roam,” and they looked as if they meant it. But it was not because they were not well pleased with the convention and their trip—it was simply the result of physical exbaus- tion. The whole crowd was dead tired and did not cara who knew it. The first big party to leave the City was the Boston delegation, whicy departed for the Yellowstone Park. Nine loaded trains went out Monday eveuing, carrying 5000 tourists, and eleven trains leit yesierday with the same numbsr. These inciuded the Boston party, the Con- | necticut train, New Jersey and New York. Nearly all went by tiue way of Portiand and the Yellowstone. On the twenty triins there were 208 coaches, all filled to | tue limit. In a private car that went out yesterday afternoon by the Portland route was Sec- retary Baer, with Mr. Shaw ard a party of trustees. They will go home by the way of the Canadian Pacitic and will stay over Sunday at Banff and will reach Boston one week from to-morrow. President and Mrs. Clark left last even- ing for Los Angeles, where they will re- main until after Sunday, when they will proceed airectly home. It is estimated | that at least 15,000 people will leave to-aay, and by to-morrow night only a few strac. glers of the immense throngs will be left in the Gity. A large number of the delegates are vis- iting the resorts along the coast and many of them will attend the Christian Endeavor exercises at the Chautaugua As- sembly at Pacific Grove next Friday. On this occasion addresses will be made by Rev. Ira Landrith of Tennessee, Rev. Ezra Tinker, D.D., of Wiimington, Del., Rev. W. J. Darbv of Nasavllle and Rev. J. Cowan, D.D., of Pittsburg. Those who are fond of financial statis- tics have been computing the probanle amonnt of money left in S8an Francisco by the peonle brourht here by the con- vention, and the lowest estimate places the grand averegate spent by the 40,000 visitors at $1,000,00. This gives but an average expenditure of but $25 to each visitor, which is considered a most con- servative estimate. s R e GRAND CONCERT IS REPEATED A Big Crowd Flocks to Hear Endeavorers Sing. Well Conducted Performance That Arouses Interest and Applause. The repetition of the grand festival con- cert drew a great crowd to the Mechanics’ Pavilion last night. Perfect order reigned, bowever, and by a few minutes past § o’clock the ereat audience was in its place. The calleries were full, but not over- crowded. As for the main body of the hall it was densely peopled, with the ex- ception of a few seats marked *'special,” which wers reserved for ticket Lolders, a few of whom did not come. No standing in the aisles was allowed. Ateight minutes past 8 o’clock the or- chestra took its place, and began to play the *’97 Convention March,” composed by W. J. McCoy, who conducted. While this number was in progress the great chorus of 1500 voices took its place with the precision of an army moving into line. The white dresses wihich are so fre- quently a ieature ot big choru<es had not been observed rigidly, out the majority of the lady members were robed in white, and many of them wore big. bunches of vellow poppies, which added considerably to the picturesque appearance of the plat- form. A pleasant feeling of cood fellowship was engendered between the chorusand the audience before the former began to <ing. Ata given signal the body of singers heavily | rose as one individual. This so delighted the spectators that they applauded loudly, and the chorus responded with the Chan- 1 take this method of denying the rumor and will state thet weare prepared to handle all parties that cesire to muke the trip.

Then the conductor sig- naled to the andience to rise and join in singing the “Welcome Song” and “Amer- ica.” There was not so much nnanimity about the way in which the audience rose to its feet, but the chorus appluuded the effect Joudly, and then the audience showed its appreciation of this compli- ment by giving the Cnautauqua salute. This little session of mutual admiration put every one into a cheerful humor for joining in the singing of the ‘‘Welcome Song,”” which was given to Sir Artbur Sullivan’s music to “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” The regular programme bezan with Franz von Suppe’s “Festival Overture,” which was played by the orchestra, con- ducted by W. J. McCoy. Tue musicians were made for the most part of amateurs, and in such organizations strings seem to take a fiendish delight in getting a trifle slack ana wind _instruments in getting a shade off the pitch, just when the players want to do their best. There were a few of these mishaps last nizht, but taken al- together the orchestra did its share of the work valiantly. In addition to vlaying the “Fesiival Overture” and accompany- ing the ~ingers in most of their seiections the orchestra aiso played selections from *“fhe Huguenots” "and the march from “Tannhauser.” In the latter number the “*bouquet” of soloists sang the chorus. C. H. Teubs, the composer of the fine anthem composed for the convention, was unable to. be present, and W.J. McCoy conducted in hispiace. In this, asin the other works, the singers produced a fine body of sound. The sopranos were a little in evidence, but their voices were sweet and mellow, and the other parts were ulways clear and audible, A special fearure of the singing was the distinciness of the enunciation. A. M. Bennam conducted the chorus abiy in_the following numbers: ‘‘Praise ye the Father,” by Gouncd; “How Lovely are the Mess=ngers,” from the . Pwalst™ American Hymn, by Keller: Thy Light,” by Gounod; the * Cuoorus” and “The Lord is my The latter number was unasccompanied, and the chorus did some good shading in it There was a good deal of applause for everything. Two of themost decided en- cores were given to James Hamilton Howe, who conducted “I'he Glory of the Lord” from the **Messia ,” and to D. W. Loring and his “houqust’’ of soloists, em- | bracinz some of the best-known singers in the City. The bouquet sang Rheinberg- er's “Bright Starso; Heaven' and Parker’s “The Sea Hath I's Pearis.” The audi- ence insisted on hearing the latter num- ber again. 3 AT DEL MONTE. Pilgrims View the Great Hotel Among the Trees. DEL MONTE, CAL, July 13.—Thisbig hotel was in a flutter of excitement yester- ing dry a barrel of ice water will be placed upon each prominent coraer of the town. Judge Ira C.

SAN JOSE IS READY. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, July 13.—All is in readiness for the reception of the Chris- tan Endeavor visitors to-motrow. They will be met at the depot by a reception committee snd taken fora ride throuzh tne city and adjoining orchard districts.

Have Assigned to Creditors. cn the Wrong Side of Sugar Stocks. Stated, but They Are Sald Not to Be Large- | NEW YORK, N. Y., July 13.—Decker, Howell & Co., bankers and brokers of this ciuy, have assigned, with no preference. Thero liabilities are not stated. The firm was one of the largest broker- age houses in the street. A representative atiributed the trouble to being on the wrong side of the market, the firm’sshort- ageon sugar being one of the principal elements. Five years ag this firm failed for $12,000,000, but paid up within sixty days and resumed business. The announcement was made on the Stock Exchange soon after the opening and created much excitement. The firm is one of 1he largest doin: business in the street and has conducted a purely broker- age business. The losses will fall on those who have had speculative accounts with the firm. Decker, Howell & Co. is peculiarly a local firm. It had a large clientele and, it is said, speculated heavily on its own account. According to As.ignee Fisher, the firm has no creditors outside of New York. It leased no private wires and had no agents or correspondents in other cities. Mr. Fisher added that ne believed the liabilities would be small. ‘There was no cons:ernation in the sugar pit when the failure was annonnced. The opening was at 134, afier closing at 13514 last evening, and it declined to 134 ou sales of 5000 shares. Kansas City Banks to Consolidate. m KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 13.—The THE BABY ELKS IN GOLDEN GATE PARK. Thousands of visiting Christian Endeavorers fell in love with the baby elks at Golden Gate Park during their visit. Yesterday the little beauties were carefully studied by thousands of the visiting strangers who had never seen young elk before, and they seemed to enjoy being admired. ing hither and thither of beliboys, porters and waiters, while trunks, valises and handbags were disposed of and guests were taken to their rooms or into the dining-room. The seconda Christian En- deavor excursion train arrived at6t evening, bringing over 400 Endeavorers, and harily were they fairly within the lobby, preparatory to dispersing to their rooms, when the Del Monte flyer steamed into the station bringing 125 unexpected other guests, many of whom were adorned with the purple and gold C. E. baage. Head Clerk Junker and his assistant, William Johnson, had goue to San Jose vesterday morning where they boarded the south-bound excursion train, and be- fore it had reached Castroville the 400 or more passengers had rooms at Del Monte assigned to them. Thus much annoyance and loss of time were obviated upon their arrival here. But the 125 extra visitors rather disturbed the smoothness ot the hotel’s arrangements. However, all was soon setiled and the prearranged pro- gramme carried forward. The dinner hours being over a special concert by Huber'sexcellent orchestra was given on the well-lighted piazza, and the many Endeavorers had glimpses of a ver- itable fairyland in the surrounding moon- lit, music- pervaded grounds. Several par- ties were taken in cosches around the seventeen-mile drive, which looked more than ever picturesque by the sivery radi- ance. This morning a general call was given at the unearthly hour of 5 o’clock, and ali tumbled out of bed sleepily to breakfast, and thence into all sorts of conveyances for a second trip around the drive, wnere the keen, fresh salt air drove all drowsi- ness from their eves and brains. Afier an early luncheon the party boarded the train for a return to San Francisco. SANTA ROSA PREPARES. The City of Roses Will Welcome Endeavorers To-Day. SANTA ROSA, CaLn., July 13.—Santa Rosa is fully prepared to welcome the 2000 Christian Endeavorers who are to be here Thursday. She will greet her guess in true California stvle and load them with fruit and flowers, Hundreds of boxes of choice fruit have been donated and the Eastern guest who visits Horti- cultural Hsll on the day of the excursion bas but to select the most toothsome and eat his fill without price. The visitors will also be taken to the show places and over the best drives of the city free of charge and every available coupe, bus and carriage in the vicinity has been engaged for that purpose. The buge wineries of this section will undoubtedly prove objects of curiosity to the guests, but there will be no wine served, and 1o prevent any one from go- THE GULDENSUPPE CASE. Head of the Missing Man Satd to Have B:en Found—Sterting Ev.dence of Two Woodside Residents. NEW YORK, N. Y., july 13.—The head ot William Guldensuppe is said to have been found by some boys in Branchport, N.J. Acting Inspector O’Brien is said to have received this information last night. The head was incased in oilcloth and plaster of paris. Two more residents of Woodside, L. L., have come forward with a startling piece of evidence concerning Guidensuppe. They are Z. O. Blomquist, a painter living in Fifth street, on the north side of Ander- son avenue, and his workman, Lawrence Micke!s, who lives in Rogencamp’s Hotel, at the corner of Anderson avenue and Fifth street. Both men declare that on Saturday evening, June 26, they saw a man and a woman at the Buala house with a bundle. The bundle, they say, contained a laree piece of meat, from which bone pro- truded. The story is best told in Mr. Blomauist’s own words: “When I passed the Buala house at 2 P. M.,” he said, [ saw a wagon in front of tie place. It was a pecaliar wagon, with a long black box-like body and a bug-y top over the single seat in front. Wi worked late thatnight, and it #as between 6 and 7 o’clock when Mickels and I walked through Second street on our way home. The sanie wagon was in front of the door. A large, stout woman was standing on the stoop of the house and a medium-sized, thick-set man was in the yard near the eate. The woman was talking to him, but stopred as we approached. “‘As we passed the door I noticed a bun- dle lying in the grass heside the wheeis of the carrizge at the edge of the sidewalk. It struck my attention because a bone was sticking out at one end of it. Itwas a big bundle, about three feet long, I should say, and thicker at oneend than at the other. The bone stuck out of the thick end, and seemed to be about three inches thick, There was some dried blood on the bone, and 1 got the impression tha: the people had a forequarter of beef in the bundle, **I guess they must be going to start a ssusage factory in that place,’ I said to Mickels, pointing to the bundie, and he laughed and made seme joking repiy. I didn’t think any more of the incident un- tit I read in the newspapers all about what the deteciives had discovered.” Mr. Biomquist said the man was dressed suit, wore & black derby hat an:i ‘a very good-looking face,” The nad woman, he said, was stout, of medium size and wore a dark dress. Lawrence Mickels gom;?ontnd his employer’s story in every eta: Cseg s Between Jauuary 1 and May 15, 1897, the number of persons expelled from ihe German empire was 235, including twenty- one women, Times announced that the Midland Na- tional Bank, of which S. B. Armonr of the well-known Armour Packing Company is president, is to be consolidated with the National Bank of Commerce, and that the deal has reached the point where only the sanction of the Comptroller of the Cur- rency is needed to consummate it. s WONDERS OF THE BERMUDAS. N w Yok Unwersiy to Estcblish a Per- manen: B olcgical Station—Report ot Professor Bristol, NEW YORK, N. Y. July 13 —New York University is to bave a permanent biologicul station in the Bermudas next year. This bas been determined on asa result of the first.alumnal expedition to those i-lands, which, under the direction of Professor Charles L. Bristol, head of the department of biology, spent six weeks investigating the marine life of tne isiands, and has just returned laden with valuable cotlections. The collections brought home contain much new material, mainly specimens of mvertebral life. So far as Dr. Brisiol or his scientists have learned, many of the species have never been cailed 1o the at- tention of scientists. Amongz these are new varieties of mollusks. Taree of them are stone-voring bivalves, whic, holes a foot deep into the coral limestone, of which the Bermudas are principally formed. “The richness of the fauna.” said Pro- fessor Bristol, ‘'would be <ufficiently in- dicated 10 the scientist by my saying that we found twenty forms of tunicates. Six of us worked over 200 yards of the coast of Casile harbor at every low tide and so immense were the forms of life that we got no further. We brought back splen- did corals, sea anemones, jeliy-fish, sponges, crustaceans, worms and echino- derms, most of them rare in the museums of this country.’ Proiessor Bristol said that perhaps the most important immediate result of the expedition was to demonstrate that fish can be transported north of the Gulf stream and acclimated so as to live in northern waters. e New Californéa Postmasters.

Napoleon Parmentier, from whose es- tate this gift falls to the children of his brother, died in Paris on the 18th of last September, and in his numerous bequests the sum of $300,000 was given to these heirs on the one condition just me~tioned in the case of Miss May, whose inheritance commences on her attaining legal age. The heirs to this_handsome fortune are connected on their mother’s side with that distinguished American ecclesiastical Cardinal McCloskey of New York, whose sister married one of the Harrisons of the Pres dential family, whose cousin was Presicent W. H. Harrison. In those days millionaires were few and far between in New York. Butthe rela- among the leading four hundred. One of the foremost belles of the swell city was Miss El zabeth Harrison; and after Louis Napoleon Parmentier had laid siege to and won her band and heart, their union was one of the sociai events of the season. It was graced by the presence of Emperor Louis Napoleon's rerresentative at the Nation's capital in Washington, D. C., where the marriage ceremony was per- formed, first Ly the Minister and after- ward by the bride’s uncle, Archbishop McCloskey. The marriage by the Minis- ter, though at the time considered of no consequence, now turns oat to be just worth $300,00 to the children of ine couple then united. Mre. Parmentier, who is an unpreten- tious vut refined lady, resides at 307 Jones street with her three children. She will accompany her daughter to Paris, and after nlacing her in an academy, return to San Francisco, where she has resided for the past ten vears. MELBA NEVEH SANG BETTER.
