Mr. Adams_delivered a stirring address. He took issue with President Watt, who said the Young Men’s Christian Association was not a church. The speaker said it was in a large sense a church, inasmuch as it rep- resented the united efforts of all the churches of every form of belief. Resum- irg, he said: When Chri: of which e Schmitz, who w: organized the apostolic church h denomination claims to be the direct entative, he called for men with the true spirit of God in their hearts. Every business man in San Francisco who employs labor is looking for just such men. It is the vrovince of the Young Men's Christian to turn out that kind of young men. The association Is training men to hon- orable citizenshin. It 18 doing a magnificent work in training men for the intelligent per- formance of the ordinary duties of life.” It js a grand church, one that should receive the support of every self-respecting man and woman. In closing Rev. Mr. Adams referred to the debt of the association and the ef- forts being made to remove the burden. He hoped that all who are interested in the moral progress of our young men would put their shoulder to the wheel, as it were, and assist in the grand work. Young Men and Christianity: Rev. Mr. Guthrie, who was next in- troduced, said that to him the term Y. hi Association GEORGE < ADAMS DD PROMINENT SPEAKERS AT THE MASS MEETING AT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, ) in the world—young men and Christian- | ity. He referred to the Young Men's Iu- stitute as being an exceilent organization, which is doing a hoble work, but it al- ways seemed to him that it was losing something in not having' the name of CHrist associated with it. In conclusion he said: You should net withhold your assisiance | from th vk being_ done by the association. | You should not'sit far back and allow only | the rich men ‘of the: city 1o.support an in- stitution in which you are peisonally so vital- | ly' Interested. . All should co-cperate in_ ths great work of keeping the Young Men's Chris- | tian Association out of debt.

Visit the building: take an | interest in its affairs and make a good In- | vestment in righteousness. + | Tribute to the Management. i Robert Balfour, one of the warmest supporters of the association, and whno has given about $100,000 to the institution in the past, was called upon for some remarks, Balfour modesty concealed his part in the work done by the association, but paid a warm tribute to the manage- | ment. ‘ He reminded his hearers that it} was the duty of every citizen who had the welfare of his fello i to aid-the association in some way. “He ! caured laughter, by the remark that if the old law as ta“the payment of tithes | were to be enforcéd there might be many | in the audience who would have to draw | big checks to pay up their arrearages. ' He exvressed the hope that all would contribute toward paying off the debt on | the building, even though in insignificant amounts, and thus show their apprecia- | tian of the Christian work that ig being done. | Rev. Mr. Clampett delivered a brief ad- | dress. He said that in the war now waging between the British and Boers the constant cry was “Men, men.” Esgland knows that if she expects to win she must have men and the Boers also reai- ize that they require more men to render success certain. What is true in Africa is true in every large city of America. The question which confronts the future greatness of San Francisco lies im the | character of its young men. Continuing, he said: Greece and Rome had their mighty armies | and. navies, but what are they now? They fafled in those days to realize that prosperity | comes only with sound citizenship and sound | leadership. 'The Young Men's Christian Asso- clation makes good citizens, noble Christians. | The term Y. M. C. A. means to me simply ‘“You | Must Consecrate Abilit It is by conse- | crating ability that real success in life s at- | tained. If I know that the engineer of a train_by which I am to travel is a man of moral rectitude, I enter upon my journey with- out fear. The influence of the Young Men's | Christian_Association is the one great power | whose influence is alwavs felt in a_great city. What is doing more for the purification and elevation of our young men than this great in- stitution? There is a tremendous power for evil in San Francisco with its 3200 saloons, its | theatrical enterprise, by which posters 'are | posted upon the walls, which if viewed by a | young ‘man in the presence of his pure sister | Will bring the blush of shame to his cheek. | Let us make the association stronser, let us bufld it up, for it consecrates our young men and to them we look for the material advance- ment of our prosperity, Secretary McCoy briefly addressed the meeting. He spoke of his twenty years’ | donnection with the local association, and | referred to the great work being done in the education of the young men of San Francisco. The assets of a city were not its buildings, its banks or rallways, b its young men. He closed with a stirring | plea_for financial aid in order that the building may be dedicated next year and | the mortgage publicly burned. | A collection was then taken up, but the | amount was not reported. This closed | the programme. During the mieeting | solos ‘were sung by H. H. Barnhart and a male chorus rendered ‘“The Heavens | & s Hyde and George R. Sanderson, M. C. A always was a most happy one.

Train No. 8§, backing into the junction of Don Luis, metNo. 6 coming to Bisbee from Doug- las. They were not much more than 100 feet apart when the trainmen first saw their danger and the two trains crashed together at full speed. The trainmen on the rear coach of No. 8 and the fireman and engineer of No. 6 | saved themselves by jumping. The shock of the collidion threw Eberhardt through the roof of the coach, The coaches of No. 8 were piled into a‘ confused mass, took fire and were slowly consumed. The engine of No. 6 was badly crushed and disabled. ; The blame for the wreck has been placed on the conductor of No. 6. It is alleged he failed to follow orders. No. 8 had the right of way to Douglas. ™ AOIDS 4 DUEL WITH MEAIGA Minister Clayton’s Son Loses His Social | Prestige. | { Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Lieutenant Powell Clayton Jr., son of the Minister to Mexico, was recently detached from the embassy and assigned to cavalry sta- tioned at Kort Myer. Concerning the | change there is a story not told in the | military records. | During the Christmas holidays young Clayton became engaged in an argument with a Mexican officer concerning Ameri- | can politics in the Orient and the Antilles. The' Mexican said some things which Clayton resented. Tinally the lie was passed and the entire company became involved in blows. That night a Mexican officer formally | waited on Clayton, and, in behalf of one of the belligerents, challenged him to a duel. Clayton explained that he could not fight, his commission in the United States army forbidding in the strongest way any such performance. Clayton was expelled from all the clubs | in the City of Mexico. At the same time a prominent official intimated to the Min- ister that his son’s position in society in the Mexican capital had been compro- mised and that the wisest course for him was to withdraw. - i news of the finding of a ghastly relic of { the Condor disaster in the shape of a hu- | man hand at Uculet, together with a boat | + Wood, whose | these places had impromptu bars rigged ! byterian Church took occasion to score LONE SKIPPER OUTSAILS STORM.

He said that having gone so far he would try and save his sioop, and when some hard tack and matches had been thrown him he watched the ship sail away as the saflors gathered on the, poop gave him three cheers. i Shortly afterward his food gave out, and for the last nine days he has been without food other than some dry flaur which he could not bake/ He arrived at San Juan yesterday, and being mistaken for a whisky smuggler, his sloop was seized.

SUNDAY CLOSING IN NEW Thirsty Residents Connect With Drinks by the Side-Door ) Route. | NEW YORK, March 9.—Despite the al- | leged promises of the saloon-keepers that | to-day should be the dryest Sunday on record, so far as New York was con- | cérned, the man or woman who wanted a_drink had little or no trouble in pur- chasing it. About the only difference in getting one was that the thirsty man - was not allowed to stand at the bar and in many instances he was forced to sit down’ to the ‘“property sandwich’ left | over from the earlier days of the Raines | law reign. But for all this it might easily be termed a quiet Sunday. A tip was given | to the crowds that usually hang about the saloons that their presence was not | desirable. In consequence the usual | hangers-on kept out of the way. Cap- tain Sheehan was active in the tender- | loin district and before the day was well | along his men had arrested several bar- | keepers. | In the upper west side portion of the city the orders for a dry Sunday were observed to a certain extent. On' the lower east side of the city it is doubtful if one saloon out of 300 was closed. In most instances a man could walk into the | side door without any trouble.

Any one who has lived in a facto: town and has seen the tide of human life which floods the stréets when the mills stop for the day, will haye been struck by the number of graceful ¢pd’ handsome oung girls among the throng. Light iearted, smiling, mirthful, it is hard to realize that they have just left a day’s fatiguing work, = But anothen sight at- tracts the onlooker. He sees groups of other women, thin of form, dull of eye, languid of movement, and he realizes that these were but a few years ago as bright and happy as their younger fel- low-workers. It is natural to ask the cause of such a physical change, which is not to be explained by the stress and strain of daily labor, because there are not a few who, in spite of years of steady work, retain the girlish attractiveness of face and figure. Perhaps the most im- ortant cause of this change is to be ound in the prevalence of ailments peculiarly femine, which drain the vi- tality and sap the strength. If the truth were known it would be found that these worn-out women had been working under physical conditions, which, if a | man suffered them would be enough to | send him to bed. | and aching back®the wage earner plods With throbing head on, feeling that she cannot afford either to test or pay a Physician’s fees, and every day sees her grow more weary and more weak. THERE'S NO NEED TO STOP WORK or pay expénsive fees in order to be cured of womanly diseases. Hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women have been made well and strong by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflamma- tion and ulceration and cures female weakness, It makesweak women strong | and sick women well. “A few years ago I suffered severely with female weakness and had at times dreadful pains,” writes Mrs. V. Brown, of Creswell, Harford Co., Maryland. "I went to my doctor, and he gave me medicine which did me good for a while, but I would get worse again.

This state. ment is based upon the fact that of the hundreds of thousands of women who have used *Favorite Prescription” i ght per cent. have been per- fectly and permanently cured. Only two women in each hundred have failed of a complete cure, and even in these cases there has been marked relief and improve. ment ; the headache is less frequent, the back- ache less severe, and household duties long laid aside are under- taken anew with come fort and satisfaction. I can truthfully say that Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription is a wonderful medicine and deserves the praise given it,” writes Mrs. Emma Spooner, of Lakeview, Montcalm Co., Mich., Box 288. "I was sick four months and the medicine prescribed by the doctors did me no good. Finally I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce for his advice. He an- swered in a very kind [l teter, instracting “me \ what to do. I followed l I' his advice, and to-day am a well woman, ! thanks to Dr. Pierce.” No woman should delay the use of * Favorite Prescription ” if she is suffer- ing fronr womanly disease. The longer womanly disease is neglected the greater its effect on the general health, and the slower the curd. There is mo object in experimenting with other medicines when the experience of thousands of women proves that * Favorite Prescrip- tion” is the surest and safest of put-up medicines for the cure of disease pecur liarly womanly. THE PRIVILEGE OF SICK WOMEN. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is sacredly secret and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consuitations with women at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surg- ical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. It is hardly possible to overestimate the valge of this free consultation by letter with Dr. Pierce. In numerods cases such as Mrs. Spooner’s, when local medical advice and treatment had failed to give relief, a letter to Dr. Pierce has been the means of restoring perfect health, Accept no substitute for * Favorite Pre- scription.” The substitute medicine is only the shadow instead of the sub- stance and is pressed on the customer because it pays the dealer a little more ~ profit than is paid by a high-class standard preparation like “Favorite Pre- scription.” FREE TO WOMEN.

LOS ANGELES, March 9.—The South- ern Pacific train that took the place of No. 9 that was wrecked at Maxon, Tex., Friday morning, arrived at the Arcade station in this city at an early hour to- day. Among the passengers were a score who had passed through the wreck. Many of the passengers asserted that the lists of the dead and injured that have been published are incorrect, in that the num- ber given is too small. Mrs. Robert Domanguse of geles, wife of ex-Assistant City Auditor Domanguse, was aboard the ill-fated train’ and, although she sustained no in- juries, her escape from death was almost miraculous. She said: I occupied a section directly opposite that of Mrs. F. Lynch of Louisville, Ky. She was Gne of the injured, and but for the help of several men both of us would have been burned to death. When' the crash came I seemed to be lifted off my seat, and it was fortunate for me that I was, for otherwise I would have been caught in the broken seat and held as in a vise. Mrs. Lynch was thus caught, and her limbs and back were painfully tnjured. When 1 found that I could mot move and that I had not been injured I called for assist- ance, and Mrs. Lynch was the first to answer me. I could see | injured men and women seel I could not think what todo. camé and broke thé window near where I was sitting, and soon after that Mrs. Lynch and myself were drawn through it into the open alr. We were none tao soon, for by that time the train was on fire and the forward cars were burning briskly. I could not describe the scene of horror, but I shall mever forget it. 1 do not know how many were killed, but I think there were more than twenty. C. F. Poft of Parsons, Kans., who was er_route to Los Angeles, said: “It was just like being on a wild buck- ing Texas mustang for us fellows In the berths. They jumped up and down, put us on our heads and feet by turns, and then the coaches rolled over and over. We scrambled out and left the wreckage to burn, In_about an hour there was not a thing left of that train except fron." H. I. Todd of Frankfort, Ky., said: T Paor téllows in the d h poor ows in e day coaches t it worst. Four or five coaches wergflpued right on top of one another in a heap.
