Dr. Baker The convention also observed the local of the assoclation, which | occaslon was alluded to in the opening prayer by Dr. Baker. | The retiring president, [llns, read his review | twenty co | jubflee year D.

President Slocum, who was to deliver | the address of the day, was then intro- Mr. Collins and was given a | duced by most cordlal greeting. of | the importance of having large views | upon all public, social and religious ques- | tions. Only the larger views are safe, he sald, especially in these days when all countries are developing so rapidly. religious questions were also taking the larger form and were attracting the at- tention of thoughtful people because of these larger views and larger apprehen- sions of truth. He spoke highly of the work of the Young Men's Christian As- soclations because of their great unifying power, drawing together young men from all churches and from all conditions of life. He emphasized especiaily the neces- sity of strong moral convictions upon all | public and private questions. We were learning more and more ciearly, he said, that political life was becoming safe only | as our great statesmen learned to love what was right and true more than all else. | STRONG MEN WANTED. The work of the Young Men's Christian | Association, he said, was practically say- | ing to etery young man: “You must fit | yourself for the best kind of citizenship |lnd you have no right to give anything other than the best sort of manhood to 'pubuc affairs or private relations.” The State, he said, wanted young men at their very best physically, Intellectually and morally. The day has gone by when peo- ple admired weak and sickly young men, but rather are calling for the more sturdy sort of Christianity. It was especially true, he said, in the West, where there were great questions to be mastered and | where larger rewards which are offered | were the result of strength, manliness and earnestness. Dr. Slocum spoke most high- | 1y of the development of California itself, | of the men it had sent out into public life Bnd of the achlevements that have been | wrought here. He commendeéd very high- | ly the work of the great universities with | regard to public questions and then added that while California had a history | of which she might well be proud, he be- leved her greatest work was before her. DESTINY OF UNITED STATES. He then went on to say that the more complicated problems of modern times required men of great devotion, ability and consecration. The United States was now becoming, with the other great coun- tries of the world, responsible for world- | wide movements. For this reason we | shall need men not only well trained in- | tellectually, but also with high moral pur- | pose and clear conceptions of what is | best, not only for the country, but for the development of the world itself. Chris- | tianity, he added, had always played the most important part in the development | of the great leading nations of the earth, but those fundamental ideas which had | been given to the world by the Great Teacher were just the ones which were | necessary in theee days to settle the ques. | tions which are confronting America. | Only as the other nations believed in the | uprightness of the American people, that they were honest and sincere in all things, 80 would we acquire that confidence which was above all necessary that we might Jjoin with such nations as England in the | larger policy for a world movement, He | then went on to speak of how moral and | WM.

NTHUSIASM of an exceptional character marked the arrival of the delegates to the Twenty-sec- | ond Annual Convention of the| California Young Men's Christian Association at the association building throughout the whole of yesterday. Eacn delegate on entering the rooms was given a hearty welcome hy H. J. McCoy, the general secretary; F. A. Jackson, the as- | sistant secretary; F. E. Miller, the finan- clal secretary, and A. A. Macurda, educa- | ticnal director of the assoclation. At 6 o’clock in the evening the delegates were led to one of the great rooms on the fifth floor, where a sumptuous repast had | been prepared by the Ladies' Auxillary. The room was handsomely decorated with | seasonable flowers and facing the main | entrance to the banqueting hall was a | brilliant electric sign with the word “Wei- | come.” | In the hall the Young Men's Christian Association orchestra, under the direction of C. E. Robson, discoursed music_ of a high order. The playing of Mascagni's | “Cavalleria Rusticana’” was so excellent, indeed, as to win the heartiest acknowl- edgment. Over 200 delegates and friends took their seats at the tables and Rolla V. Watt was toastmaster. On his right sat Rev. Dr. Clampett, Rev. Dr. Baker and Dr. Law and on his left were H. J. McCoy, D. Edward Collins and J. G. Warren. Mayor Schmitz was expected, but through indis- position was unable to attend the ban- quet. Before the repast the whole of the | company sang the doxolgy. The speeches | that followed the banquet were in most | cases crisp and witty, some of the sallies between Dr. Clampett and Dr. Baker causing roars of laughter. WELCOMES DELEGATES. Rolla Watt, as president of the asso- clation in San Francisco, gave the dele- gates a most hearty welcome. He ex- pressed his delight at seeing so many present for the work of the convention and also around the festive board. It ‘was, he said, a source of the greatest sat- isfaction to see so many, too, from far distant parts of the country, even from far beyond the Rocky Mountains. It showed, he sald, the mighty interest that was taken in the work and the doings of the Young Men's Christian Assoclation. Rev. Dr, Clampett, speaking on behalf of the clergy, extended to the delegates a California welcome. Dr. Clampett said in the course of his remarks that that wae the. third occasion when he had ex- pected to meet Mayor Schmitz, but on all three occasiops the Mayor had been un- able to attend. The doctor had hoped that the Mayor would have tendered the keys of the city to the distingulshed gen- tlemen, many of whom had, he said, come a long distance to attend that conven- tion. However, sald Dr. Clampett, if they did not receive the keys of the city they. would ve the keys of the church. Dr. tt then spoke of the progress and the power toward the uplifting of men by the Young Men's Christian As- sociation. Tt was one of the grandest of organizations, he said, and when the President of the United States spoke of, and took interest in, the organization the | oftense, and, | the groceryman & | netghborhood cl; | ports about her l4-year-old daughter. | well | and | tions, | Ben, ENRAGED WOMAN SHOOTS T0 KILL Sends Bullet Whizzing f Past the Head of a Groceryman. Attempts Life of Man Who, She Alleges, Defamed Her Daughter. Mrs. a divorced woman Jennie Singleton, residing at 2906 Twenty-fifth walked Into the grocery store of Hanaughan at 2000 Twent fifth street yesterday afternoon and with- out saying a word drew a pistol from the folds of her dress and sent a bullet whiz- zing past the proprietor's head as he sat in a chalr in his place of business. The noise of the discharge of the weapon brought Police Officers Farrell and Wol- | weber to the scene quickly, and they dis- armed the irate woman before she,could attempt any further damage and placed her under arrest, charging her with an assault with intent to commit murder. For some time there has been ill feeling between the grocer and Mrs, Singleton. Hanaughan thought the woman had given information to the police {o the effect that he had sold liquor to minors, for which as he alleges, on her in- formation, he was arrested. Mrs, Singleton in her turn charges that s been going round the lating defamatory re- is the part of Hanaughan, the woman says, so enraged her that she de- termined on summary vengeance, and with her revolver hidden beneath the folds of her dress, entered his store and fired T action on | point blank at him The weapon used by Mrs. Singleton was a cheap, four-chamber affair. When taken from her the revolver had three chambers full and the fourth held an empty shell. The mark of the recently discharged | bullet was found on the wall in the rear | | of where Hanaughan had sat. @ -ttt e @ nation in its heart knew it was doing in supporting the movement AMONG THE GREATEST. Great conventions had been held in this city, he said, notably the Epworth League the Protestant Eplscopal conven- and now a convention which had come in great numbers to participate in the important work of the association was another to be added to those notable | gatherings. Speaking of social matters, Dr. Clam- pett said that trusts and capital and I bor questions would be ultimately settle by Christian movement. W. M. Danner of Denver, W. A. Kling of Oakland, Dr. Law and the Rev. Dr Baker were also among the speakers following members of the Ladies’ ry attended to the tables and were accorded three hearty cheers for their hospltality and the attention they gave the guests: Mrs. Isabel Cromwell, Mrs Williams, Mrs. Blackwell kins, Mrs. Charles Whitney, Miller, Mrs. S.
