While the druggists par- took of the sumptuous spread that was placed before them they could look out over the blue waters of the Pacific or watch the whitecapped waves dashing against the rocks on which the seals were idly sporting in the sun. The visitors thoroughly enjoyed the novel surround- | ings of their banquet board. Adolph Mack, in behalf of the local com- mittee and the wholesale druggists of the Pacific Coast, welcomed the visiting drug- gists to the hospitality of the metropolis of the West. At the conclusion of the spread the officers of the association and a number of the promfnent members were. called upen to entertain the assemblage with short speeches. Without exception | the visitors paid glowing tributes to the salubrity of California’s climate and to the wonderful richness of her resources. They expressed themselves as being de- lighted with their visit to this State. - The first speaker called upon by Chair- ! man Mack for an address was the presi- dent of the assoclation, W. A. Hover of Denver. He said in part: Whenever 1 arise before a gathering of this kind I am reminded of the story of the steam- | boat, which is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. It seems that Mr. Lincoln was at one time pitted against a lawyer whose vocabulary was great, but whose ideas were few. After his | opposent had spent some three or four hours in a long, rambling and irrelevant argument | he sat down. Thereupon Mr. Lincoln drew up his long, lank form and addressed the court and jury, saying: ‘‘Gentlemen of the jury, my friend reminds me of a steamboat that ased to ply on the Sangamon River.in years gone by. AN EPOCH IN HISTORY. ““This steamboat had a boller three feet {long and a whistle six feet long, and'every time the engineer blew the whistle the boat stopped. My friend is in the condition of that boat. Every time he opens his mouth s mind stops working.' The experiences of the past ten days are of such a character that they mark an epoch in the history of the National Wholesale Druggists’ Association, and it will be referred to hereafter as “the’” meeting. start to finish there has been a round of good lowship and pleasurable experience—a con- tinued performance, 50 to speak; so much so that we are all beginning to feel like the statue of Venus di Milo, the reproduction of which stands in the beautiful park back of us—all broken up; broken up by the kindness | and the hospitality shown us by our California hosts. The tongue of the average wholesale druggist, which is the class that I represent, is unequal to the demands of an occasion of this kind. It requires the silver tongue of a Faxcn to respond to the toast “Our Hosts,” which I propose, and which we will drink standing. After the toast had been drunk F. A. Faxon, whose name was mentioned by President Hover, grew eloquent over the climate and fruits of the Golden State. He said: . Our chairman, when we came into this room this afternoon, swept his hand in a careless manrer over this table and said, ‘‘We wish to glve you a modicum of our hospitality.” In Missouri—and I always speak the dear old name with reverence ve would call this a square meal, if we ever had anything of this character to apply that term to. I hold in my hand what we would call fn Missouri a prize cabbage at & county fair, and here it is sim- ply a little artichoke. Look at this bunch of grapes—every grape a peach. EXPERIENCE AN EYE-OPENER. Mr. Eliel stated the truth yesterday when he said that words failed, and if his words failed, what can you expect of mine? I wish I had a tongue that would be responsive to the thoughts of my brain and the sentiments of my heart. This has been what some of our people would call an eye-opener. My friend on my left from Philadelphia (Mr. Kline) said that he had been amazed at the resources of this great country. Not only has Mr. Kline been amazed, but even our friends from New York and from Chicago have been surprised at the mighty resources and the wonderful things that we saw as we came along. Soon after we crossed the continental divide we were taken up the Grand Canyon of the Colorads, to me the most wonderful sight on earth. As I looked into the awful sublimity of that great chasm, it seemed to me that I felt as I would have felt if for the first time my ere turned upward to the silent stars. | As we traveled along, we found everywhere the most wonderful things. It seems to me that I have a higher reverence for the Creator after having made this trip. We have seen his great work In the mountains, lifting above the clouds; in the eternal ocean, with its con- stant murmurs, and in these trees that we saw at Felton yesterday, reaching skyward. But when we see the conduits leading from the mountains to the valleys, we say, not only “‘what God hath wrought,” but “‘what has the hand of man wrought in transforming these stretches of wilderness into the most blooming gardens.” We have before us in our commit- tee representatives of the men who have done these things. I take off my hat to Mr. Red- ington and Mr. Mack and the people that they | represent in these Coast States. POINTS TO A STORY. Some of these people have been goad enough to say that some credit belongs to me for bringing this party across the plains and the mountains. =1 don't refer to this for the pur- pose of having any bouquets thrown at me, but simply to point a story. If my efforts have n productive of what we have met sincs We crossed the continental divide, what we bave seen and what we have enjoyed, cul- minating here to-day. then I feel like saying, with Simeon of old, *Lord, let now thy servant depart in peace.” This is a wonderful country. We cannot now forecast its future. It seems that every- KEMP’'S SUPPOSITORIES. A HAPPY GREETING. What is more pleasing to the eye of man than a beautiful woman? “‘Beauty,” you say, “is only skin deep.” That i1s very true, yet there is a charm about the woman whose. eyes sparkle, her face all aglow with the hue that nothing but perfect health can impart. Have you stopped to consider the difference in your home since you have had that heavy bearing- down pain and that frightful backache? Do you greet your husband with that bright, Lappy smile, the gay, light words which every loving husband likes to see and hear from the woman who has consented to share his home? It is very likely that you are cross and frritable and if he is five minutes late you meet him with a frown. Your back aches, your head aches; you don't feel like talking. The result of which is an unhappy home. If you are suffering from leucorrhea, pains in the ovarfes, misplacement of the uterus or painful menstruations and have grown dis- couraged because the various sarsaparillas. or tonics which you have tried have falled to benefit vou, use Kemp's Suppositories, a local treatment which contains no oplates, but is mild, soothing and healing and has cured thou- sands of zrateful women. “K. §.

My friend Eliel is becoming restive, and I will draw my halting remarks to a close. (Cries of ““Go on.”) T only want to say, in explan- ation of the efforts I made at Old Point Com- fort a year ago, that I knew that on" this side of the great divide there was a bunch of good Indians that some of you pecple in the East knew not of. I wanted you to meet Chief William and his associates, Henry and Adolph d Charles and others, who have made this visit a most pronounced success. In. crossing the valleys and the plains we have seen all kinds of beautiful flowers. We have been smazed at what we have seen in this fair gar- den from Riverside to the CIff House. But wherever we have gone, beautiful as have been the flowers we have seen. we have found no flower half so beautiful as the white flower of hospitality which we have found here. WALDING MAKES SPEECH. Chairman Mack next introduced ex- President Walding of the association, who said that when he took office he promised that he would make no speeches, but that as he had laid aside the honors of office he would make a short speech. He spoke in a very entertaining manner, thanking the druggists cf California for their hos- pitality. He said in part: At last 1 have an opportunity to say some- thing. When I was elected president of the National Wholesale Druggists’ Assoclation it was with the distinct understanding that I was to make no speeches. In referring to this to my friend Mr. Faxon this morning, he sald, “You are not the president of the Natlonal ‘Wholesale Druggists' Association, so it don't g0o; all promises are off.” 1 desite to thank the people of California for the generous hospitality showneus since we left the East. It has been a contiruous performance in which we have all taken a part and in which the people of California have been the principal actor: He was followed by Mr. Kline of Phila- delphia, who spoke in part as follows: Ladles and Gentlemen: I think we all agres that we have very much to be thankful for; but 1 certainly owe an additional debt of gratitude to the committee on entertainment and espe- clally to our toastmaster for saving me the humiliation of following with my few remarks the silver-tongued orator from Minnesota. I was wondering, having had no notice that 1 was to make a speech, what would happen if Faxon and Eliel should happen to speak and I would be called on later. 1 tried that once in Washington with Mark Twain, who preceded me, and I was so ingloriously snuffed out that 1 promised mever to try it again. So [ am especially indebted, and 1 want to tender my thanks to the toastmaster for saving the sil- ver-tongued orator until the last. FINDS STORY IS TRUE. I have often wondered where the Dutchman lived who said *'I went out into mine apple or- chard to get some peaches to make mine frau a plum pudding with,” and I never thought it possible for any Dutchman to do that; but since I came to California I have made up my mind that that story is true, and that either a Dutchman or a Welshman or a Scotchman or any other kind of a man could go out in these orchards and do all that. Much has been said, ana it has been weil €aid, by others of the debt of gratitude we owe not only to Mr. Faxon, who I think holds the original trade mark on bringing us to California, but to those who furthered his ef- forts in making speeches at the Old Point Com- fort meeting, at which 1 was present, to if possible induce our m<mbers to vote in a suffi- clent majority to bring the convention here. Much has beer: sald Hf the debt that we owe to our friends who, after we decided to come here, prepared this bountiful repast and enter- tainment In a manner which it would be ut- terly impossible for any of us in New York— I commence with that in due deference, 50 as not to have a row after we get away from here —or Philadelphia, which has hitherto stood at the head of such entortalnments, because we have not the natural resources. We have the willing hearts, though in no greater measure than they seem to have them in California, but, as I said before, we have not the resources, It is impossible for us to fill a cornucopia like we have here unless we import the fruit from California. It would be utterly impossible for us to vie with anything like the profusion and the richness of the treasures that are poured cut to us here in the way of entertainment. Sc. that I really want to say in behalf of these dis- tinguished gentlemen ~ who occupy the head seats at this feast that we all feel profoundly grateful, first for allowing us to sit at this table and for allowing us to make speeches, and chiefly for allowing us to participate with you in the splendid entertainment which ghese friends have provided for us. TRUST IS REFERRED TO. And as has been previously suggested, if there ever comes up a serious question as to ferming a trust on cntertainment I hope that Mr. Mack and his associates—of course stipu- lating that Mr. Redington should be a member and a prominent offier—will be at the head of this trust, and all I shall ask is to be allowed to sit at the foot of the table and I will be satisfied. J. C. Eliel of Minneapolis when called upon spoke as Iollows: I have been introduced to audiences, as per- haps some of you know, but that is the coldest introduction 1 ever got and I am extremely Gisappointed. I am usually introduced as the impassioned orator of the Northwest. With- cut a stimulus of that kind I don’t see how I can say anything. Really and truly, ladies and gentiemen, do you not think this is cruelty to animals? I have either got to have a new audience or a new Joe Miller, for I have told you every chestnut I ever heard and some that I did not, but here I am on my feet again. Somebody said a moment ago something about the State of California. Ladies and gentle- men, I have got clear beyond that State and em in a state that will not permit me to make a speech that is adequate to the occa- sion. But, sir, I would be a churl and un- worthy of ‘your attention if at such a moment as this, if with such surroundings, in such an audience, with such bright eyes fastened mpon me, I did not say something at least partially adequate to this great occasion. I wonder how many of you who crossed this continent a few days ago with us, surrounded by every com- tort, by every luxury, your every want taken care of, took thought of those who first won this continent for us. MET IN HISTORIC ARENA. A year ago we met at Old Point Comfort, in that historic arena which witnessed the earlfest struggles of this young republic, then a mere strip of ground washed upon the East by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and bor- dered upon the West by a boundless and im- penctrable wilderness. Through that vast and unknown country, peopled by a treacher- cus foe, over hill and dale, through fen and field, inch by inch and foot by foot, our for- tears won for us this great continent, by con- quest and purchase, to the Gulf, and finally across the Rockies and the Slerras, to the Western coast, and gave to us this grand and glorious inheritance. And here we stand to- day in this great land of fruits and flowers; in this land where it has been sald it is al- ways afternoon, where birds ever sing and flowers ever bloom; in this favored spot which bas the whole country behind it, the whole world before it; here where we can say. with Bret Harte, the famous poet of California, Once more we see Mortola’s cross uplifting Above the setting sun; & Once more across the drifting The freighted Galleon. A. D. Mayo told in rhymes his impres- sion of the country. He introduced his pcem with the following remarks: I take it most unkind on the part of the toastmaster to introduce me, the youngest speaker of them all, after that veteran who has for so many years charmed you with his eloquence, and who has to-day risen to fights which have surpassed his grandest ef. orte. As I awakened this morning my thoughis turned to those early vears of my life when I heard my_ father—himself a 4fer, who had darcd the dreary wastes between 'St. Louls and Sacramento; who had fought the Indians upon the plains; who had found gold in the mountains and ‘had returned to the States, narrate the thrilling stories of his experiences, 1-too was impressed, as one of my predeces sors was, with the sacrifices which were made In order that we might have this glorious country. TELLS STORY IN RHYME. And then my thoughts turned to the repre- sentatives who have come here, gathered from the farthest confines of this great country, and these thoughts took the form of rhyme. From stern New England’s rockbound coast; From far Savannahs of the South; From where the Mississippi springs Down to its gulf-encircled mouth; From the windy city by the inland sea, ‘Whose buildings tower to the sun; From where the tocsin of our liberty First sounded to the minute-gun; From far Manhattan's crowded streets, ‘Where struggling millions strive for gold, And crush and a human grist, And reck rot of the human soul; headland Northward From where the myriad cattle low, And patient wait their humble doom; ‘Where mighty engines to and fro Hurtle amid a stygian gloom; From where the massy mountains tower ‘% Lofty above ‘the spreading plain, And, frowning in majestic power, how man'’s best efforts all in vain; ‘We gathering come and speeding® far ‘Along that dreary, dusty trail, " Where those old heroes scorning death Fought their stern way with fists of mail; Where their white bones unburied lie Amid the arid desert waste, Where ’neath a brazen burning sky The very air doth bitter taste; Across the mountains, bare and sere, To where the orange and the vine Grow lush and green the livelong year, This land of flowers and gold and wine; Here we have found the pactolian stream For which our fathers sought in vain; Here we have found the bright pure goid ‘Which.we have struggled long to gain. But this red gold, this treasure rare, Ne'er found its lcdgment in the earth; Not deepest caves of ocean bear So vast a store of such great worth, This gold lies in the hearts of those ‘Who, thrusting other cares aside, Have welcomed to this land of flowers Their brothers from each countryside. Mighty that land which, spreading broad From ocean shore to ocear shore, From Arctic snow to tropic sun, Gives home alike to rich and poor. Mighty that land within whose bounds 2 The teeming millions all find place: a Ner serf nor peasant, slave nor hind, Unwilling toils without surcease. Mighty that land where brothers all, ith one accord and in one tongue, Thy praises sing. O Liberty, As never yet thy praise was sung. My country, ‘tis of thee, Bweet land of liberty. Land where our fathers died, Land of the pilgrim’s_pride, From every mountain sidé Let freedom ring.’” TOAST FOR LADIES. Chairman Mack next presented Brent Geod of New York, who he sald desired to talk to the ladles. Mr. Good sald in part: Mr. Mack must be a mind reader. not wish anything of that kind. that L being with the ladies, would like to say something. It will be very short. I have just come from England, where T saw the coronation, one of the grandest sights I eyer saw. with the Queen sitting beside the Prince of Wales. In this fair land I am re- minded that we have a Queen with us_ with the Prince Consort by her side—I refer to Mr. Que:n. We also have a new man and we have the new woman, and we have the la- dies {n waiting, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Mickaels, Mrs. Redington and others. We thank them all. And now let us all stand and drink the hea{th of the ladies of California. In response to criés of “Michaels,” “Mi- chaels,” C. F. Michaels made the follow- ing remarks: When this committes was formed we were Yery uneasy about what we would do to_en- terfain you. Of course. we had not been Fast and did not know anything about how you do those things in the East. After a great deal of thought we concluded that we didn’t know how. and that we would simply give you what Californiagad, and that you have got. If you like it, wdare very glad, and if you don't like it, why, good-by. W. P.-Redington of this city, who was also called upon, said he could add noth- ing to what had already been said. CHAUNCEY DEPEW’S WIT. Mr. Antrim made the following speech: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I Will have to say, as the young lady said who bad been sitting alongside of her best beau for about six hours, suddenly gazing forward, *“This is so sudden.” I am placed in the po- sition of a man who was called Upon unex- pectedly to address a political meeting, and Wwho said: ‘“Ladies and Gentlemen: If I only knew what to talk about, really I would be very glad to talk about it. Under the cir- cumstances I really don't kncw what to talk about.” About that' time a little boy up in the gallery said: *Say, Mister, talk about a minute.”” "1 feel also somewhat like the gen- tleman at a banquet. which reminds me of a little stock story which I always spring on such occasions. A gentleman at a banquet was called upon—I believe the gentleman was from Iowa; I will say Iowa, in deference to Missouri—a gentleman from Iowa was called upon for a speech. There were a number of distinguished orators present, and he felt scmewhat embarrassed. So.he arose and sald: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is an honor that I did not expect, and I don't know really what 1 can say to add, as it were, an extra course to this excellent repast that we have just— before this magnificent audieace, and really I don’t know, especially—er—er—when we have such distinguished orators present as our dis- tinguished after dinner speaker, Chauncey M. Depew. who is on the right. I really feel that I shall have to sit down, and—er—er—I thank you.’' The gentleman from Iowa re- marked that all that was necessary for Chaun- cey Depew to do was to drop a dinner in the slot and up would come a speech. Mr. Depew was '‘called upon and addressed the audience in a way which I can’t imitate. He said: CONDITIONS REVERSED. ‘‘Ladies and Gentlemen: Really I appreciate the introductory remarks that the distinguish- ed gentleman from Iowa has just inflicted upon you.” In his oration he said he thanked the gentleman from Iowa for stating that all that was necessary for him to do in his case was to drop a dinner in his slot\and up would come a speech. So far as he could see, in the case of the gentleman from Iowa, all that was necessary to do was to drop a speech In his slot and up would come a dinner. I assure you ladies that I don't want anything to come up with you so I will not attempt to inflict a speech upon you. Mr, Faxon has said some- thing about his being instrumental in bring- ing this convention here. I want to say that from the little experience I have had with organizations of this kind, there certainly is no more appropriate place to bring an or- ganization of this kind, where the spirit of brotherly love and good fellowship prevail, and where flowers bloom all the year round. While the flowers bloom here constantly, should not forget that The ‘Wworld is full of roses, And the roses full of dew, And the dew is full of heavenly love, That drips to me and you. ‘W. J. Walker concluded the speechmak- ing with the following remarks: ¢ With those who preceded me, I feel grateful to Mr. Fexon, who has told us about the fruits of the promised land. I am also pleased that he has not only led us over the wilder- ness and into this beautiful place, but that hel fmu also been permitted to see it again him- self. . Something has been said about New York. I will briefly bring to your attention the fact that one New York man, in the person of Le- land Stanford, came to this beautiful shore years ago and accumulated a great. fortune and left a lovely and ‘noble widow, who was I daid He supposed ADVERTISEMENTS. 00 YOU EAT Heartily and enjoy it, or does your food lay heavy in the stomach, causing Nausea, , Heart- burn and Sick Headaches?

MARYSVILLE, Oct. 11.—Dispatches on Friday told of the death in this place of George F. Smith, an old miner who was searching for his son. The city authori- ties buried him, and the affair would have been forgotten had not the son turned up here to-day. While reading the newspapers last night at Browns Val- ley, in the foothills, he chanced upon the account of his father’s death and this morning hastened to town for fuller par- ticulars. He at once ordered the body disinterred and will ship it to Jolon, Monterey County, his old family home, for reburial. The dead man was at one time quite wealthy. The son repudiates the suicide theory and believes his father took an overdose of laudanum by mis- take. g e Three Thousand Prospective Suits.
