TRAIN DISPATCHERS ARRIVE HERE TO HOLD THEIR ANNUAL- CONVENTION They Will Remain in Session Several Days in This City and Be Entertained by Local Railroad Men, Leaving for the East After a Flying Pleasure Trip to Santa Cruz 7 PSSR Vi - LIS NG WOELTE BOUT one hundred delegates to the fourteenth annual convention of the Train Dispatchers’ Asso- clation arrived in this city on a special train yesterday and are staying at the Occidental. After they had rested from their journey they were taken in hand by their local brethren and spent the rest of the day sightseeing. This morning the convention will open in Red Men's Hall, 320 Post street, where the delegates will be formally welcomed to the city by Mayor Phelan. The real business of the convention will then be transacted. Train dispatchers hold possibly the most_responsible positions in the railroad world. In their hands the lives of the passengers rest. They receive their in- structions from the division superintend- ents, and after. these orders have been received the train dispatcher is responsi- ble. He is the man behind the gun, and should he make a mistake a train wreck an& perhaps a big loss of life might re- sult. It is on account of their heavy respon- sibilities and the different rules used by each railroad that this convention is held by the train dispatchers. They hope by meeting together and discussing proposed changes to Increase the efficiency of their work and the general dispatching system. An extensive programme of entertain- ment has been arranged for the week. The convention closes Thursday, when a flying trip will be made to Santa Cruz. On the return of the railroad men from that place the delegates will go East over the Southern Pacific via Ogden. The officers of the association are the following named: J. R. Lusk of Newcastle, Pa. president; Jolin P. Mann of Ennis, Tex., vice president; J. F. Mackie of Chicago, secretary and treas- urer. Executive committee—F. S. James of Cherokee, Ta.; A. D. Caulfield of Wilson, La.; W. Culneen of Auburn, N. Y.; G. H. Brown of Alamosa, Colo. Train rules committee—H. A. Daley, J. W. James, E. M. Woodruff, J. M. Chiles and B. B. Baughmann. — E-MBLEM OF TRE ASSOCIATION OPYIST LABOR FOR THE COUNTY Civil Service Commis- sion Loses Another Action. e Judge Seawell handed down a decision esterday, removing all copyists in those offices declared in the recent decision of the Supreme Court to be “‘county offices” from the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission. Through _ this decision, which was reached on demurrer in the action instituted by W. H. Garnett, a copyist in the Recorder's office, to com- pel Treasurer Brooks to pay his demand upon the treasury for services rendered, the Civil Service Commission loses the right of appointment to positions num- bering about 1. In his decision Judge | Seawell says: This is an application for a writ of mandate to compel the defendant to pay the amount of plaintiff's demand for services rendered by him as copyist in the office of the Recorder. The demand has been allowed by the Auditor, and_the only objection raised to its payment is_that plaintiff was not legally appointed. Plaintiff was appointed such copvist with- out being examined by the Civil Service Com- The question, therefore, to be determined is whether the provisions of article XIII of the charter, in reference to civil service, apply to the appoint- ment of copyists in the Recorder's office, case of Crawley against Freud is, in my opinion, decisive of that question. It has been held that the Recorder is a county officer and that it was not comvetent for the charter to provide for the gualifications of elther the Recorder or his deputies. 1t is also urged that if plaintif’s appoint- ment was made under the laws of the State, s distinguished from the provisions of the charter, his demand was improperly audited and should not be paid because It does not refer to any law authorizing the same, but to certain_provisions of the charter. By the State law in force when the charter took effect the compensation of copyists in the Re- corder's office was 12 cents per folio. The rate fixed by the charter is only § cents per follo In the act of 1861 the persons who per- form the duties of copyists are denominated Geputy clerks. T think that the word ‘‘depu- ti as used in section $% of article XI of the constitution should be liberally construed sc as to include all the subordinates of a county officer: and such seems to have been the view of the Supreme Court in sustaining the injunction prohibiting the commissioners | | from holding examinations for employes of the | Recorder. Thus construed, it was competent for the charter under the rule of Crowlev against Freud to vrovide for the apnointment and compensation of copyists in the Recorder's office, but not for their qualifications. The derurrer will therefore be overruled and a writ of peremptory mandate issued as prayed. for Little Folks’ shoes that are so exactly adapted to the shap> of the foot that not a single toe is crampad, that perfect liberty of movement is made easy and pleasant, that at no point is the action of the foot re- sisted and the leather weakened or broken---look for this kind of footwear .and you will find it among the Orthopedic Shaped Shoes for children at JE MACKIE SECRETARY AND TREASURER .

S HALL TO-DAY. Preparations for the Epworth League Convention, which is now but little more than a month distant, are being pushed rapidly forward and no efforts will be spared to make the great gathering a credit to California and an event long to be remembered by those who shall be for- tunate enough to attend. Dr. Beard reports that all is progress- ing in a satisfactory manner and that the attendance probably will be even larger than has been anticipated. Hun- dreds of communications are being re- ceived daily from all over the United States and Canada giving information of deiegations that are coming and request- ing accommodations. The attendance from New York, Penn- sylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, New Eng- land, Illinois and the Distriét of Colum- bia promises to be exceptionally large, and several special trains have been en- gaged to carry the thousands of visitors from these States to San Francisco. Aside from the officlal excursions, the railroad authorities in New York alone have se- cured passengers for four extra trains. Cincinnati and Pittsburg will send espe- cially large delegations. Local interest is also awakening to the full importance of the event and through- oul the State the people are preparing to visit San Francisco during the, con- vention. Much assistance, financial and otherwise, has been promised by different California towns and nearly every county has arranged for its exhibit. The people of Sacramento met last week and discussed arrangements for a reception to be tendered the visitors as they pass through that city. Mayor Clark has promised to give his assistance to make such an affair a success. The officials in charge of the missionary ex- hibit at Mechanics' Pavilion announce that one of their finest departments will censist of a display of maps of all coun- tries, charts and religious mottoes. They will also have an exhibition of handsome- ly engraved shields, representing the fizgs of all nations. To increase interest in San Francisco, a series of rallies has been arranged at which prominent religious leaders and public officials will speak. There will be four of these meetiggs in all. ; The firat one will be heid in the Trinity Presbyte- rian Church next Monday night, and the 'other‘s at some time and place nct yet se- TWO OF THE OFFICERS OF THE TRAIN DISPATCHERS' MERICA, WHICH WILL CONVENE IN ANN — ASSOCIA- JAL SESSION MISS SCANEIDER ON THE STAND Judge Cook Allows Coop- er's Victim to Testify. The trial of “Sit"” Harry Westwood Cooper, allas Ernest Moore Chadwick, on the charge of sending a forged telegram to Norine Schneider, at Vallejo Junction, to induce her to marry him, was contin- ued before Judge Cook and a jury yes- terday. Miss Schneider was called and Attorney Murphy at once offered the ob- Jection that she could not testify against her husband, arguing that it had not been proved legally that Cooper had been mar- ried to a girl in Canada. The Judge de- cided to admit her evidence with the res- ervation that it could be stricken out of the record 1f, after examining the au- , he’ considered the ol well taken. et During the whole time she was on the witness stand Cooper, leaning forward on the table at which he was seated with his head resting on his hand, kept his eyes steadily fixed upon her. His basilisk gaze confused her and two or three times she contradicted herself in cross-exam- ination, but put herself right again. Cooper’ kept prompting his attorney to ask her questions. Miss Schneider testified in effect that she always told the defendant she would not marry him without the consent of her mother, and on February 22, the day prior to the recg{;{ of the forged tele- gram, she returned to him a “dress’ ring he had given her, telling him that as her mother objected’to their marriage, she could not marry him. The following even- ing the telegram came, purporting to be signed by her mother, advising her to marry the defendant, and she did so at- ter his arrival by the evening train. Her evidence was corroborated by her sister, Miss Mamie Schneider, and her mother, Mrs. Marie Schneider. The lat- ter testified that she had not sent the telegram, nor had she authorized any one to send it for her. Captin Seymour proved the prior con- viction against Cooper and Detective Byram testified to arresting him in Og- den and having a conversation with the defendant, in which he had expressed regret at not going north instead of to Ogden. This ended the case for the prosecution and the defense will proceed this morning. Attorney Murphy said he would put the defendant on the stand. The Crystal Hot Sea Baths. Tubs and swimming.

Metropolitan Hall Crowded by an Interested Audience. Dr. Benjamin F. de Costa, who for many years was a minister of the Episco- pal church, but who recently joined the church of Rome, delivered an address last evening at Metropolitan Temple, en- titled “From Canterbury to Rome; or, Eicw I Came to Be a Catholic.” The lecture was under the auspices of the Catholic Truth Society, and Frank Kierce, its vice president, acted as chair- man. The audience was a large one, and among those on the platform were Rev. Fathers O'Ryan, M. Smith, H. C. Wyman, McGough, McMahon, Gannon and Mac- kinnon. A short concert preceded the lecture of Dr. de Costa, who said in part: I am deeply grateful for the cordial reception tendered me in this city. Before I proceed with my lecture 1 desire to correct an error published in the papers yesterday. 1 was quoted *as condemning the system of public schools. It would be a grave mistake on my part to do any such thing. I am an old pub- o school boy of Boston, and I am proud of the privileges conferred on me by the public schools of that city. My subject to-night will be ‘From Canter- bury to Rome, or How I Came to Be a Catho- lic.” "Artemus Ward once delivered a lecture in London entitled “The FPanorama,” and when he finished a man in the audience ob- Jected for the reason that he had seen no pictures. The glorious serfes of pictures on the journey from Canterbury to Rome are no grander than the sublime scenery you have here in California. Like Ward's lecture, you will not see my pictures, but only hear the speaker, A Peculiar Journey. The journey from Canterbury to Rome is a peculiar one. More than 500 clergymen of the English church have taken that journey, and with such men as Manning, Newman, Wilber- force in England and Bronson, Hecker and Iyes in this country, they are all marching from Canterbury to Rome—coming into the Catholic church. I am not here to teach you anything about the Catholic church. I am old-fash- loned in my ideas and Yelieve that the truths of the church were dellvered by saints, and any one who comes to you with new doctrines gives you what is false. ‘Why am I a Catholic? It is a long story and the eveninz is far too short to give you all my reasons for such a step. I remember when I was four vears old an Ursuline convent stood on a hill in the city in which I lived. It was a delight to linger there on the hill and see the glory of the surroundings. There the nuns planted their home and taught. Rumors were spread as to the character of the nurs and a big .mob gathered and de- clared that the convent was a menace to so- clety and the state. “It must be destroyed,’ was the cry of that mob. My aunt was one of the nuns, The mob came, the torch was ap- plied and the convent was destroyed. The nuns took refuge with the Sisters of Charity. This is how the Protestants treated the Catholic church in my town. My sister once took me to see my aunt. There in the home’of the Sis- ters of Charity I remember standing in the hallway and hearing a sweet convent bell. It was unlike anything I have ever heard since in life. It sounded like a bell of heaven. I thought I saw an angel at the head of the stairs. It glided down the stairs and came to me. I was enfolded in that angel's arms. It was my aunt—a nun, a consecrated nun. She pressed me to my heart and I have never been out of her arms since. Reaches the Eternal City. I went abroad to St. Michael's Mount an saw the fervor of the many pllgrims. I hea a voice saying to me, “Some day you may be a Catholic.” 1 traveled along the road. I reached the Eternal City of Rome, 1 saw much to applaud and much fo condemn in that city. One day I was informed that ar- rangements had been made to introduce me to the Pope. I told my Protestant friends and they eald I was insane. I told them that it was the greatest honor of my life to meet the Pope of Rome. I was charmed with the grandeur of Pius the Ninth. He was llke a simple priest from_ his mountain home, who had stepped down %here to the Vatican. He was simple in his manners and put us all at ease. He blessed us and that blessing h: clung to me ever since. I venerate the memory of that sweet, holy man. 1 was taught in the Episcopal church that the soul had no infinite immortality, and that church denjed many things, including the res- urrection. Are you surprised that I became a Catholic? I am not here to teach you theology. I found that if I wanted a church I must have the Catholic church. I speak in no unfriendly or critical manner of the Episcopal church. They are my old friends in that church and they are dear to me. When I was a boy I once went to an Epis- copal church. My mother told me that the Episcopal church was next door to the Church of Rome. I am not here to quarrel with a church that is pouring men and women into the Catholic church. I say, thank God for the Episcopal church that led me from the feet of Theodore Parker and his infidel crew and land- ed me In the Catholic church at the feet of God. SU SHIH CHIN HAS A GOOD CERTIFICATE Collector Stratton Is Disposed toLand | ‘Him, Notwithstanding Chinese Minister’s Objections. The Chinese reform leader and adherent of Emperor Kwang Hsu appeared before United States Customs Collector Stratton yesterday to show cause why he should be permitted to land on his section 6 cer- tificate as a traveler, notwithstanding the objections of Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister at Washington, and Ho Yow, the Chinese Consul General at this port. Su Shih Chin impressed the Collector as a gentleman and a scholar and not be- longing to the classes excluded by law. His secticn 6 certificate., setting = forth that he came to the United States as a traveler, bore his photograph and was filled out in due form. After examining Su Shih Chin and his | papers the Collector expressed the opin- jon that he had a legal right to land. This conclusion was announced by tele- graph to the Secretary of the Treasury, and an answer is expected to-day. The Chinese who were landed with Su sympathize with the reform movement, but no request has been made by Minister Wu that they be arrested and held for deportation. It is reported among the Chinese here that a reward of $50,000 has been offered by the Chinese Government for the head of Su. e You Are Asked to Attend.

Spacious permanent headquarters for the Republican Primary League has been established in the Baldwin Annex. Five rooms on the Ellis-street side of the | building have been appropriately furnish- ed. The main entrance to the headquar- ters is on Market street. The rooms re- served for the use of the league will be opened this afternoon and kept open hereafter from 9 a. m. until 11 p. m. daily. The announcement of the lewgue's for- | mation is received with general favor. Assurance that the promoters of the league are not candidates for office and have no candidates in sight, or in the background to recommend to the conven- tlon of the party is received with speciol gratification. The prompt establishment of central headquarters signifies that the league means active work . throughout the campaign. As set forth in the articles of incorpora- | tion, the league is formed ‘“to foster and maintain the political principles of the Republican party, to arouse and maintain the interest of all electors in the mainte- nance and enforcement of the primary election law and of all laws relating to | elections.” As long as the league ad- hetes to this purpose it will deserve the respect and support of Republican voters. In upholding the organization the Repub- lican taxpayers should take an active part. Delegates to the Conventions. The primary election law insures a fair count of the votes cast for delegates to the nominating convention, but something more is required to insure a convention composed of representative citizens. Good men to serve as delegates must be placed on the district tickets. In every district the Republican Primary League of San Francisco will put forward a ticket, and voters can judge by the character and standing of the men proposed whether the league is on the right course or not. All intelligent citizens know. that one of the committees contending for the right to be recognized as the governing body of the Republican party in this city is composed of men who were appointed to register the will of bosses. Another com- mittee claiming the same right has been | demoralized by general incompetency of leadership. Associations in the interest of several aspirants for office are taking | shape under the mantle of reform. Re- publicans having no axes to grind, no fac- tions to uphold and no personal aspira- tions to advance fancied that some method should be devised to give the "workingmen, merchants and taxpayers | generally an_opportunity to put forward | Republican delegate tickets to be voted for at the primary election on August 13. | The Republican Primary League was therefore created to give the citizens a | chance to wrest control of the party from | the bosses and’create a Republican mu- nicipal convention that will be free to nominate representative men to fill the oflices of the city government. Battle for Good Government. Citizens should keep in mind that the battle for good government must be fought at the primary election. So far as registration is concerned, there is not much time to lose. Every voter who has changed his place of residence since the general election in November last should Tregister anew. All citizens who were reg- istered as voters last November and who have not since changed their respective places of residence will be entitled to vote Bt the primary election. In the line of awakening Interest in ~registration the Republican Primary .League will render efficient service. A new system of reach- ing neglectful and indifferent citizens will be tested. Members of the league are fully aware of the fact that Republican success n November next will depend upon the character of the party convention chosen fn August. Hence special effort will be put forward by the league to induce all the friends of good government in the party to interest themselves in the pri- mary election. Central Republicans. meeting of Republicans was held last e\¢nln‘ at 4 New Montgomery street, at which Chairman Irving of the Central Republican Association, otherwise known as the Grand Hotel movement, presided. Ohe representative was present for each Assembly district. The subject of con- tinuing the movement was discussed and the decision was affirmative. It was voted to hold another meeting next Friday evening, to be attended by those who were present last evening. each to bring In the names of two others to make up an ex- ecutive committee of three from each dis- trict. It was also voted to have an ad- Vicory committee of five from each dis- trict. Hayden Lose His Business, ' Tn his effort to avold execution by the Sheriff on an alimony judgment obtained by bis wife, Edwin Hayden testified dur- ing the hearing of an order to show cause that he had no interest in the Hayden Packing Company. An execution was is- sued, however, and Hayden’s interest in the firm was sold_to Mrs.. Hayden for $55 35. Now James Mahan, who was Hay- den’s partner in the firm, wants to know Who his partner is, and hence has insti- tuted a suit to dissolve the copartnership and to secure an accounting. Judge Hunt determined yesterday that Mrs. Hayden's urchasc of her husband's interest was fegal, ‘and hence she was made a rty defendant in Mahan's suit. Thoush Hav. den was sent to jail recently for failing to pay his wife alimony, it is probable that Mrs. Hayden will net a sufficlent amount from the business in which she vurchased a half interest to secure her from want until arother execution can be levied against any other property which investigation may prove belongs to Hay- en. ' —_— Flood Will Build at Once. James L. Flood filed suit yesterday to enjoin the Board of Public orks from proceeding with the work of Jalnlnf the sewer pipes emptying from the Baldwin Annex to the outlet from the old Baldwin block proper, which has been purchased by Mr. Flood. In his petition for an in- junction Flood avers that he purposes immediately erecting a bullding on the old Baldwin Hotel lot, and the sewer out- let is inadequate for the purposes of his building if the proposed connection with the Baldwin Annex is made. The fact that Flood announces that he purposes immediately erecting a building on his lot lends interest to the suit. ADVERTISEMENTS. Most convenient trunk in the world to take on a trip.
