After the selection of Wichita the time was spent in the passage of resolutions of thanks to the present officers, to the press and to all who aided the congress in any way. While the usual good-bys were said many of the delegates will remain over for the jubilee ceremonies, which wiil begin on Tuesday next and continue until Sat- urday. he general impression of the s of the late congress is that it was the most successful ever heid. 47 PHENIX. anese Laborers Find Themerlees Withowt Employment.

The Japanese were brought here One Hundred from California last April under a six months’ contract to dig wild canaigre roots along the banks of the Hassayam pa tiver. Later they were used in the same work on the Verde, and then the Salt River and the Aqua Frio, The Anglo-American Canaigre Com- pany is responsible for their importation, on the supposition that the thrifty litue brown men would prove more profitable 1o the company than the shiftless and happy Mexican. But the result d d not bear out this theory; and then, too, the company found 1tself stocked with canaigre root three months before the ex- piration of its contract with th - Japanese. The Japanese were not only thrown out of employment, but the money t at had been heid back to pay their return trans- portation to California was flatly refused them. Superiniendent J. W.

This year has not been an exception to | the rule and at 9 o’'clock this morning | | carriages and draps began their trips to and fro between Pac fic Grove and Moss | | Beach carrying the Chautauquans and | their frieads to the picnic grounds. The day seemed sent especially for the occasion, so perfect was its sunshine, and the committee which had charge of the lock, the luncheon hour, was crowded with picnicker The event of the day, athietic contests, was_the open-air round | table at 2 o'clock. This was & mostin- | formal affair to-day, trking on almosta conversational character, but was none the less delightful on this account. Rev. Thomas Filben, president of the aay, yave a very pleasing talk, welcoming the friends to the Chautauqua’s al fresco round table. He was followed by Rev. Herbert N. Bevil D.D., who read an origical poem on “Chautaugua.” I Interspersed through the series of in- forma! talks was a charming programme of music and readings, one of the most delightful of the latter being a recitation which little Miss Fiiven so gracefully and prettily gave. This little lady is the dsugnter of Rev. Thomas Filben, a man who has done much to make this year's assembly a notabie one in Chautatquan annals. Rev. Dr. G. W, Cowan of Pittsburg, Pa., ons of the Coristian Endeavorer leaders who spoks yesteriay, and who will long be remembered by those who listened to | his address, and Heary B. Lathrop, M. D., of Pacific Grove, gave humorous recita- tion he musical feature was supplied by Misses Snerwood of Oakland, who vlayed mandolin and guitar duvets, and M ss Nellie Shipley of San Jose, the cor- netist. Several songs were given by an impromptu quartet, and the closing num- berof the hour'sdiversion was ‘““America,”’ g by all present, led by Miss Shipley’s cornet. | Outonthe long stretch of sandy beach the big wayes boomed and thundered as they rolled in, sounding a deep, monoto- the | ;noua accompaniment to the music and | song snd laughter of the gay party above them. Noone thouzht of returning to Pacific Grove until the setting sun warned hem that “‘Art is long and time is evan- | escent,’”’ as one of the party aptly para- | pbrased the familiar quotation, | " The evening concert began at & o’clock the assembliy-hall. The concert was ven by two of Francisco's favorite quartets—the Califo Male Quartet, in- | ciuding Messrs. McBain, Lawrence, Gage nd Smith, and the Coionial Ladies’ Quar- tet, Misses Heyman, Mann, Doane and | Gardiner. The celebrated Belgian violinist, Herr Waltber, was present, and his magnificent | handling of the prince of instruments de- lighted the appreciative audience. Other | notable features of the programme were | the readings by P-ofes-or Cyrus Brownlee | Newton of Ban Francisco, the assembly elocutionist, and the mandolin and guitar duets by the Misses Sherwood of Qakiand. WALKS an 7TOAIBS TONE JAIL. the Sinyer of J. C. Burnet!, Released on a $30,000 Bond. { i TOMBSTONE, Ariz, July 17.—In the | case of the Territory against Rancher W. [ in | C. Greeue, who vhot and killed J. C. Bur- nett on the public stree:s iast week, bonds of $30,000 have been accevted by the court and the prisoner has becn released from custody. The sympaihv of the en- | tire community is with Greene and no one | seemns to regret that he kiiled Burnett. | | Within ten minutes after the court had | | conciuded to release Greene on bends the necessary amount of security was forth- comaing, and undoubtedly it would have been had the amount demanded been double or even treble. The bond for $30,000 was signed by E.J. Roberts, who put $30,000 opposite his name; by Hon. B. A. Packard, who signea for $15,000, and by Sam Barrow for a like amount. Greene’s reason for killing Burnett was that the latter had destroyea a dam that let loose a flood which drowned his little | daughter and her playmate. Greene | claims to bave indubitable evidence that Burnett blew up the dam with giant | powder and in a spirit of pure malice. | It is said that Burnett had repeatedly threatened to xill Greene and that at the time of the killing he was sitting within reach of his Winchester and snrrounded by bis friend Burnett was known to be a bad man and in the older days won and | eloried 1n a mortality record of considera- | ble length. Greene, on the other hand, is | a most peaceable man, a thorough favor- ite in the region and one whose slightest | word has always been good for almost any amount of money on credit. He is one of the largest cattle ranchers in the vicinity | and possessed of con~iderable wealth. His | attorneys are W. H. Barnes and W. P. Harlow, while Colonel Wiiliam Herring will assist District Attorney A. R. Engiish | in the prosecution. The case will not be tried until the October term. . ALVISO’S SCHOOL WAR; Conflict Between citizens and Truwste Keaches ¢ Clima. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 17.—The row at Alviso over the refusal of the S8chool Trus- tees to re-elect the old teachers—Anthony Suzzalo and Miss Emma Juth—for the en- | sainz year has resulted in the establish- | ment of a private school with Mr. Suzzalo as teacher. The Trustees weie petitioned by a majority of the residents to reap- point the teachers, but they ignored the | request and elected new ones. An indig- nation meeting followed. On the night of the meeting the school- house was burned and it is believed it was | the work of some hotheaded person who | | imagined the trouble could be setted by | firing the buitaing. | Starr Hall ba« been engaged for the pri- | vate school, while the public school will inpen in the old waich factory building. | It 1s claimed that nearly all the pupils in the district wili attend the private school. hrough the efforts of Alvio citizens | Miss Juth has obtained a school at Prune- dale, near Gilroy, but should the uttend- ance at the private school wairantan- other teacher she will be given the po- sition. A g Stockton Kailway Sued for Beer, STOCKTON, Car, July 17.—The Stock- ton Streetcar Company was to-day suea | for $68 worth ot beer. The company had not been greasing its tracks with the bev- { erage, much less using it instead of jce- | water, but it had been dispensing it at | Goodwater Grove, snd hence the suit. | | The action is an altermath of Woodford’s management of the grove, and was | brought by J. B. Meloche, to whom all | the claims against the company were as- signed. It is claimed that the electric- road company, which owns Goodwater Grove, assumed the manager’s responsi- | bility. Several months ago Woodford was | attached, and then the company filed an sffidavit setting forth that Woodford did +not own anything at the grove and was merely an empioye. —_— Death of a Hanford Belle, HANFORD, CArL, July 17.—Miss Julia O’ Connor, socially prominent here and well known in this valley, died here to- day.

The Mendocino Delegate to Be President for the Ensuing Year. L. W, Drake of Saratoga Lectures Before the Conventlon at Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, Car, July 17.—This was Pastors’ day at the Christian Con- vention at Garfield Paurk. The services were conducted by W. A. Gardner. A prayer-meeting topic, “A Model Mid- week Meeting,” was led by Rev. Thomas Edwards and was followed by John C. Hay in an address on “Training the Con- verts.”’ B. B. Bunton of San Jose read a paper on “The Pastorin His Study.” He said the minister ought t0 take the pevple into confidence concerning his study. Hard work was the sine qua non. Substance, rather than style, was what the sermon market. Payments are to be made as follows: Five dollars a ton to be advanced as soon as the crop is delivered. the bal- ance to be prorated at the end of each month as fastasth wine is sold. It is agreed by Miller & Hotchkiss to keep the wines fully insured. s This propositicn was submitted to the growets of Windsor district iast Monday, and 80 per cent of them have aiready signed the contract, which means 3000 tons promised in three days.

SEEET 0 L SAN JOAQUIN ASSESSMENTS. District Attorney Says Franchises Owned Cu s de the County May Not o T. x2d. STOCKTON, Cav., Ju'y 17.—Much inter- est has been manifested bere in the busi- ness community as to the outcome of As- | sessor Ortman’s action in assessing fran- | chises. The Stockten Gas and Electric Company and the Northern Natural Gas Well Company were represented before the County Board of Equalization at its session this forenoon. The Northern | wanted to have its assessment cut down about one-fourth, It thought that $3000 was the right amount. George Hornage. who was present to represent the corpora- tion, declared that the county assessor had no authority to assess property for more than the amount given in by the property owner; he must tuke the latter’s figures, and it remained for the Board of Equal; zation to increase the assessment if it must be increased. Tre Stockton Gas and Electric Company was represented by Frank D. Nicol, the attorney. He maintained, first of all, that the Asse«sor had no legal right to assess the company’s franchise, inasmuch A.

In the election of officers by the Christian Church Convention at Banta Cruz on Wednesday Mr. McCoy was elevated to year. the position of president for the ensuiug He is prominent in the councils of his denomination and is a popular man. needs. Delivery was well, but it was more important to have something to de- liver. The right kind of sensationali<m was, he said, valuable. The Bible was & truly sensational book. It needed a versatile student. Leslie W. Drake and W. F. Reagor gave some splendid suggestions in the aiscus- sion. “The Pastor in the Pulpit” was pre- sented by T. D. Butler of Hollister. Tne speaker advocated short sermons in a very sparkling manner. C. W. Jopson in discussion said the sermon ought to be practical, sympa- thetic, inspiring. L. F. McCray of Ukiah read a paper on “The Pastor in Relation to the Denomi- nations.” It was scholarly and laid stress on courtesy and co-operation. The pastor here must be & big man, a tactful man; he must stand for Christian union. The open parliament that was held after | the reading of each paper brought out some practical suggestions that were of much benefit to those in attendance. At 9 A. M. the Ministerial Association was called to order. Aiter the reading of the minutes the committee on nomina- tions reported the following as officers of the association for the coming year: President, L. F. McCray, Ukiah; vice- president, C. D. Greenwell, Lodij secre- tary, C. P. Pann, Chico; treasurer, J. Durhem, Irvington. It was resolved that the association hold its meetings hereaiter beginning on Tues- day before the regular meetings of the other conventions. “Training of Converts” was the subject of & paper read by Rev. John C. Hay of Woodland. He dwelt upon the necessity of studying each member of ike congre- gation and teaching, reproving or encour- aging as each case demanded. K. H. Bate- man, in discussing the paper, presented one of his characterisiic diagrams, show- ing the perfect circle of Cnristian culture, A. C. Smither spoke of the social feature which madeeach new member feel that he was a real part of the church. ‘Do not, as arole,” he said, “introduce new convertsin the wardepartment (choir) of the church.” C. D. King sa‘d ihat converts ought to be taught to dv right because it was right, not because some one said so. L. W. Drake of Saratoza delivered an ab.e sermon at the evening service, and during his discourse mentioned the lack of contidence of many people in the min- isters, and sugeested that if men and women loved Jesus more devotedly they would help clear away the obstructions that apparentiy hid Jesus from the sight of those who went to church expecting to find him there, and would be a litue aid to the minister in filling the empty churches. He suggested it would be be:ter notto spend so much money on_church architecture and more on the needy of the churches. CONTRACH NUNOMA WINE. FOR Vineyardiste -“cc'pt tha Liberal Terms of a Corporation. HEALDSBURG, CAL., July 17.—A rous- ing meeting of winemakers was held here to-day for the purpote of taking action as to the handling of the coming vintage. The meeting was acdressed by P. C. Rossi of the Italian-Swiss colony, A. Sbarboro, W. J. Hotchkiss, J. R. Miller, E. G. Fur- ver, P, Bimi and many other prominent winemakers of Northern Sonoma. After a thorough discussion it was re- solved to adopt the proposition advanced vy Miller & Hotchkiss, They are offer- ing the grape-growers a three yvears’ con- tract on a basis of §1 a ton for every cent a gallon that the wine will bring in the as the corporate home of the company was in San Francisco and the franchise was not assessable outside the corporate home. He maintained, further, that if the franchise were to be assessed the only | proper and legal way to arrive at its value was to take the market value of the stock as a basis, inasmuch as it represented the earning value of the material property. The franchise, he argued, was merely the privilege of doing. business under certain conditions, and the value of the franchise was determined by the profitableness of the busin done, The material prop- erty was assessed according to its market value, and the value of the franchise could be ascertained by deducting the 88 ment on the material property {rom the market value of the stock. County Assessor Ortman’s position was that the markei value of the bonas should also be considered in determining the total value of the company's property. District Attorney Nutter rendered an exhausiive opinion, in which he held that this county could not levy taxes on a franchise granted by the State and owned | by a corporation having its principal place of business in another county, for its principal place of business was the place at which its irancise should be assessed. “*And I am,” said the District Attorney, of the further opinion that in arriving at the value of a francbise assessable in this county you may adopt any "refisonahle mode of arriving at thac value. This opinion affects the assessment of the franchises of the Stockton Gus and Electric Company, the Sunset Telephone Company and the Stockton Water Com- pany, all of which were incorporated else- where, GHASTLY FIND NEA# WILLOWS.

FLAMES RAVAGE TEHAMA FORESTS Brush Fire Starts on a Ranch Near Red Bluff. Dibble Creek Schoolhouse and Several Residences Destroyed. Strip Fifteen Miles Long and Four Miles Wide Denuded of Its Vegetation. RED BLUFF, CaL, July 17.—A brush fire started yesterday on the ranchof Al Wright, twelve miies northwest of Red Biuff, and burned all night. The strong wina to-day gave the flames an impetus that drove them rapidly to the south, sweeping everything iz the way. The high school board of trustees was in ses- sion here, but adjourned at noon, as the smoke and reports indicated that the homes of several members were in danger. This afternoon the fire crossed Dibble Creek, and burned the Dibble Creek schooi- house and several residences and build- ings in that vicinity. While the main body of the fire moved slowly, a line of flame hurried through to Pine Creek, where there are many homes and much valuable property in the heavy timber and brush. From the best information obtainable the fire now extends over a strip fitteen miles long and four miles wide, whiie for many miles fariher south the smoke is dense and much damage is apprehended.

BANTA ROSA, Cawn., Juiy 17.—An im- mense cioud oi black smoke arising a few miles east of this city to-day aiarmed many people and created much excite- ment. It proved to be a stubbie fire near Kenwood, which for a time threatened 1o cause much damage. Two hundred men and boys with wet grain bazs battled wit. the fl.mes all day, and it was only after herculean efforts that the fire was brought under control at dusk. A huge barn containing over 200 tons of hay belonging to the Rev. J. Q. A. Henry of San Francisco was in the pain of the fire and was completely destroyed.

This idea has never been deviated from. We are selling out not as fast as we would like to, but nevertheless each day’s sales diminish the stock that much. We do not intend to reorganize or reopen or to fake the public in any way whatever. Those interested in The Maze to-day as stock- holders or managers sever their connection with it as soon as the stock is sold down low enough so that the affairs of THE HAMBURGER COMPANY can be wound up and the corporation dissolved. We are dealing with you in an honorable and gentlemanly manner. and in return we simply ask your confidence in us, our sale, our prices and our wares. The continuance of The Maze day by day is a source of expense to us, a dead loss, for there is no fat on our clos- ing-out prices, and if circumstances admitted we would close our doors to-day. THIS SALE is not to be confounded with those held by numerous merchants of this city, who, aiter hoodwink- ing the public by a closing-out sale, staried in anew. It enabled them to sell their old trash and get mioney to buy a little new and sightly stuff. = We are done with business in San Francisco. This we give you upon our honor as men and merchants. We never have and never will resort to low-down, mean cunning. Our mercantile career in California mercantile history since 1850 is suc- cessfully marked with honor, profit and clean hands, and as such or not at all shall it ever be. You certainly can do better with us while we last than elsewhere. We are losing, others are profiting by their various sales. One must make a profit to make expense.
