The Young Mems Institutes Nos.
IA and SO gave a pubic recep-
ton last evening to Judge J. F.
Sullivan, at the Los Angeles Theater.
The building was filled with large and
an intelligent audience, who showed, by
the interest they took in the procee dings
and by the enthusiasm with which they
greeted all references to the Y. NJ. L.,
that that organization obtained no small
degree of popularity with them.
The stage was handsomely decorated
with flags and flowers. and the following
gentlemen occupied the seats which had
been placed there: Judge j. F. Sullivan,
Stephen NJ. White, John P. Moran, w.
P. Moran, f. j. Robertson, DR.. M. NJ.
Ramon, J. H. Dockweiler, j. V. Sproul,
D. f. Donegan, Thomas F. Gray, E. P.
E. P. Duggan, P. M. Maroney, H. G..
Limbrock, James Sullivan, George Vein.
shank, Alphonse Mesmer, Mr.. Shire,
Mr.. Doody and number OF gentlemen
of the Pasadena Institute.
Mr.. j. P. Moran, the President of the
Y. NJ. 1. No. IA began the pro-
gramme by the announcement that
the company had come together at the
call of the Young Mems Institute
to listen 10 words of wisdom
from one of the most learned
and eloquent members of the
Institute, Judge j. F. Sullivan. He
expressed the hope that one good result
of the evenings entertainment would be
that many of those who were present
would come to appreciate better the ex-
cellence of the organization with which
they were connected.
The Misses Mansfield and Cooke rem.
dered piano duet, which was warmly
applauded, and Miss Mary Cooper gave
vocal solo of italian music, which was
very well received by the audience.
James Sullivan, of Institute No. IA,
gave vocal solo in excellent style.
Mr.. Moran said that the next person
whose name appeared upon the pro.
gramme did not need an Introduction to
Los Angeles audience, and the Hon.
Stephen NJ. White stepped forward and
said "Ladies and gentlemen: When the
committee of the Y. NJ. l. who had this
reception in charge visited me and asked
me to take part in the ceremonies, al
though professional duties rendered it
| impossible for me to prepare formal
address, l was still anxious to do all in
my power to assist in giving Judge Sulli-
van the reception which his public
career has justified, to extend to him tn @
heartfelt welcome which springs from the
hearts, not only of those in the Y. NJ. L.,
but OF all the citizens of the city. When
| first knew Judge Sullivan, we were boys
together at the same school. Later in
life, as members of the same profession,
we became associated, and it is with nc
common pleasure that l meet him to-
night under circumstances such IS these.
Elevated to the judiciary by the people
of San Francisco at a very early age, he
| inspired such confidence in his inte gritty
and abilities, that he was rapidly ad-
vanced by their vote. They knew that
he was one to whom contentious involv-
ing millions of property, or the life and
greatest concerns OF men, could be
trusted without question as to the justice
and uprightness OF his decision. Having
received the most flattering endorsement
every time that he has appeared for the
vote of the people, and having even on
the occasion of his party's defeat run
many thousand votes ahead of his ticket,
he now asks to be allowed to resign from
the position which he holds. Here let
me cay in passing that when our laws
have been SO arranged in the State that
men of great integrity find it necessary
| to resign their seats because they cannot
afford to give their time to public service,
the people and the makers of the laws
are to blame. But throughout all his
career upon the bench, Judge Sullivan
has remained the same person, as far as
his friendships and the habits OF his life
co. that he always was. Those who were
his associates then are his friends yet,
and they have forsaken party ties to en-
dorse him at the polls.'
Mr.. White closed with an eloquent tri-
butte to the strength and integrity of the
character of Judge Sullivan calling upon
the young men present to make his
course of life a model for imitation.
Judge Sullivan then delivered an ora
ton of about half an hours length, de-
voted chiefly to the excellence OF the in
siitution of which he and large part OF
his audience were members. He spoke
in clear, ringing voice, with fine effect.
He was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause as some eloquent period reused
the audience to an unusual enthusiasm.
After thanking Mr.. White for the kind
| tribute which he had seen fit to bsstow
upon him and the members OF the lnsti-
tute for their very pleasant reception, he
went on to speak of the Y. M. l. "The
Californian" said he, "who will look
back one hundred years or more will see
that sainted hands appeared at the same
time that the Spanish soldiery entered
this territory. In San Diego, here in Los
Angeles and further north in San Fran
cisco they planted the cross, tie emblem
that stands now as proof OF a
New World that is converted to Chris
tianity. 1t is the emblem of church
that is everywhere the friend OF the poor
and oppressed, that has no object save
the universal good, no boundaries but
the ends of creation. The Y. M. |. is
an organization distinctly within the
Catholic church, and there are the prin-
cples that lie at its foundation. We
whose fathers, for the most part, came
later as Argonauts, have banded our.
selves together in the embrace OF ira
ternity. We owe no apology to our fel-
low.countrymen that we are attached to
that church which takes us in its arms
from the cradle, joins us together in mar
riage and teaches us the belief IN life
after death. We owe respect to our
countrymen of other views, and, above
all, debt to our native land where con-
science together with property and per.
son is sacred and inviolate. 1t is saiC
that we Catholics cannot be faithful to
the state when We owe obedience to 8
Roman Pontiff. This is said either in
