He ex- tended a hearty welcome to the assembled guests and expressed the hope that the delight experienced during the week weuld be appréclated by all concerned. | Resuming, he said: I say to you welcome, thrice welcome. I Tegret that so many of our brethren have left us. We have attempted in the past few days to express by our acts and not merely in words, our heartfelt welcome to our brethren from afar. To those who have left us we | voice our earnest farewell. Those who are with us here on’this occasion we greet with hearty good will. Among them we have our new imperial potentate, Henry C. Akin, and it gives me great pleasure to introduce him to you. | When the imperial potentate arose he | was greeted with great applause by the | ccmpany, which rose and sang *For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” Alken was givena | warm reception as he surveyed the com- | pany and awaited the opportunity to | speak. He spoke on the subject of “The | Imperial Council,” saying that there were w and that it was & | distinct honor for any man as humble as | himself to preside over so great a body of gentlemen and Nobles. Resuming, he | satd: Many of us have made our first trip to the Pacific Coast, but to all of us the trip and your reception of us has been a revelation. I | can ecarcely find languags to express just how I feel concerning your remarkable re- sources, wonderful hospitality. (Ap- plause.) I can scercely realize the situation. It bas been both novel and instructive to us. We have seen your wonderful country; have admired your great resources and have enjoyed your boundless hospltality and good will. (Ap- plause.) We can scarcely find words to ex- press our gratitude for all you have done for us. We stand aghast when we think how help- less we are when it comes to repaying you. In & year from now we shall meet in Saratoga Springs. I extend to all of You a hearty fnvi- tation to come and rest yourselves under our trees and let us entertain you just one-half as | well as you have entertained us. (Applause.) When I return to my people I will tell them how well you have treated us, and of all you have done to make us comfortable. In behalf of the Imperial Council and of those Who have come with us, I thank you from my heart. Samuel M. Shortridge was next intro- your ducel by the toastmaster as “the pride of Islam and California.” Shortridge was. warmly received, and he spoke in part as fellows: Tllustrious Potentates, Imperial Potentates and Nobles: California welcomes you with un- equivocal pleasure and she will bid $ou good- by with unfelgned regret. From Georgla and all over the South, from the East, sterile and unfertfle it may be, but still beautiful, from the North and from the glorious middle West you have come to do honor to California, and this Golden Btate blushes and opens her heart to the Nobles and the beautiful women who havé accompanied them. California With her feet laved by the waves of the Western sea and her mountains crowned with caps of virgin snow welcomes the noble men who have made this pligrimage. (Applause.) I will not speak of Callfornia becauss in de- scribing her I would use all the extravaganoce of a lover. I am stuck on Califorpia. Nobles and visitors from our sister States, whatever we are you have made us. Who and what were the ploneers? They came from the Southern States, from New England, and from the West- ern Reserve. From all the States of the Unlon came our ploneer fathers and mothers. God bless them. They placed the flag of civilization on this Western coast. Whatever of civiliza- tion, whatever of manliness and whatever of beauty our women possess we owe it to the South, the North and the East, who sent the ploneers to this State. (Applause.) New York has the honor of being the originator of the Order of Mystic Shriners. Of the twenty Gov- ernors who have held office in this State, five of them came from New York. The Empire State also had the honor of being the bizthplace of Leland Stanford, founder of our great uni- versity. Next to New York came that State Ohlo, which was carved out of the Western reserve, and which fe so devoted to promoting the wel- fare of the United States that she desires to furnish all our Presidents. Ohlo was the birthplace of four of our Governors. Georgla gave us one, Maine gave us two and Wisconsin has the honor of furnishing James H. Budd, one of our lving ex-Governors. Pennsylvania and that emall but unconquerable isle called Ireland, out fn the midst of the blue sea, both gave us a Governor. (Laughter.) All that we have and all that we are we owe to you. California, out here by -the shore which is washed by the waves of the Western ocean, fs part of the Union. At the first political con- vention that was held in California, in 1849, the first cardinal resolution that was adopted was to the effect that this State was for ihe whole country all the time, that it was not for any section nor any circumscribed limit, but for the whole courtry, to which she will rematn true through all the years that are to come. In departing from our midst I hope you will leave your hearts with us as you take ours with you. TRIBUTE TO WOMEN. Shortridge was frequently Interrupted by applause, and when he paused once, as if he were about to bring his remarks te a close, he was requested to “go on.” At the conclusion of his speech, and In- troducing Lou B. Winsor, Toastmaster Murphy called attention to the fact that, although the Order of Mystio Shriners had existed for twenty-elght years, it was the first occasion that women had been given the privilege of gracing the banquet with their presence. He sald that the lo- cal husbands were certainly very recreant, but that they had set a very commend- able precedent in this venture, and he hoped it would be followed at all future banquets of the Shriners. Potentate Mur- phy’s sentiments met with the hearty ap- proval of all present. In presenting Lou B. Winsor, past im- perial potentate, Murphy explained that several of the Nobles who were down for speeches at the banquet had taken their departure from the city. He sald that the occasfon would certainly not be a complete succeds unless Lou ‘Winsor made a few remarks. The past potentate vis- ited tbis city about a year ago, when on a pilgrimage to Honolulu, and he has many friends here. When he stepped forth to respond he was given a flattering reception. He pald a glowing tribute to the hcspitality of San Franciscans and of the State. - Past Potentate Winsor said that he was almost overwhelmed by the flattering re- ception he had recelved. He said that be- cause of the manner in which he was treated during his previous visit to this city he felt that he owed such a heavy debt of gratitude to our citizens that he would have to-file bankruptey proceed- ings. After paying a compliment to the eloquent manner in which his predeces- sor, Samuel M. Shortridge, had clothed his remarks, Potentats Winsor sald the United States was the grandest country on earth and San Francisco and Califor- nia the paradises of the United States. He declared that San Francisco had treated her guests with such royal hos- pitality that no, other city had dared to extend an invitation to the Imperia] Councll to hold its next session within its confines. He sald that for the first time in its history the Council had been com- pelled to designate a place for the holding of its session. A FITTING CLIMAX. Winsor declared that the banquet was a fitting climax to the great celebration and he expressed the hope that future Im- perial Councils would profit by the ex- ample of San Francisco and invite the women ,whom he declared were the bet- ter parts of themselves, to attend. In conclusion, Past Potentate Winsor de- clared that so successful had been the cel- ebration dn this city that in the future, Instead of dating the history of the An- clent Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine back to twenty-elght years ago, the history would be commenced with the Imperial Council which was held in San Francisco. ‘When Past Potentate Winsor concluded, Charles H. Murpby announced that as it was difficult for all of those present to hear the words. of the speakers it had been decided that the tables should be cleared away and the Nobles and thelr wives and sweethearts given an oppor- tunity to trip the light fantastic toe. Dancing was then inaugurated. Among those present were the follow- ing: Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Hilmer, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram D. Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. L. A.

SANTA CRUZ, June l4—Santa Cruz was visited to-day*by about four hundrea Mystic Shriners. Ninety-five members of Aladéin Temple of Columbus, Ohlo, ar- rived in a special train at 5 o'clock this morning.

SAN DIEGO, June 14—The hearing of Isaac Trumbo, as receiver of the Golden Cross mines, will begin in the Superior i Court on Monday afternoon. C€olonel | Trumbo will be given an opportunity to explain the necessity of certain expendi- | tures to which objection has been made by the Golden Cross Mining and Milling ;Company, L. F. Fuller and Mary E | Hedges, and he may be allowed also to tell why certain creditors who are clam- | ofing for their money wers not pald. As the hearing has already been continued several times, it Is not likely that there will be another delay. The last time the case came up there was a little show of feeling in court be- cause Colonel Trumbo and his attorney, Samuel L. Shortridge, were not on hand at the appointed hour. W. J. Hunsaker and the other attorneys, who came down from Los Angeles, wers wroth because of their loss of time and wers appeased only when Mr. Shortridge appeared in the afterncon with an affidavit that Colonel Trumbo’s wife was ill with typhoid fever. Upon this showing Judge Torrance con~ sented to continue the hearing for o month. —_——— Eeturns and Meets the Police. MARYSVILLE, O., June 4.—~W. H.
