Last nights session of the conference was
well attended by the laity, but very few OF
the clergy were present. All had apparently
grown tired of their arduous work during
the past few days and several found it dill
cult to speak aloud.
Rev. B. f. Mcdaniel of San Diego opened
the session with an essay, solution OF the
economic question:. entitled 'How the
Church Can Aid" He declared that
though the question of economics is old as
the hills, its solution must be found In
and mature Peculiar inasmuch as at no
time since the worlds birth have their
parallel existed, and mature since they de-
mand solution and refuse to be longer
relegated to forgetfulness
He stated that the orthodox system OF
economies Is false to the core. II have
found" he said, lit most dismal failure.
Against 'iron-clad law of wages l put the
golden rule. Labor is a person, not a COM
modify; soul, not body. To put 1t In
bondage is to bond the souls Of the race,
and | cry against it"
Joseph Ieggett, disciple of the Henry
George theories of single or land taxation,
read an essay on Single Tax. He de-
clared that the law of equal freedom is the
law of justice. To deny any man access to
the air. land and water, gifts all OF the
Creator. he declared. was taking from that

injustice of the present forms of economics,
which result in robbery, he said that the
SiDgle-tax espouser proposes to amend the
evils by rendering to Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and unto God the things that
are his.
An essay in rebuttal was read by Sheldon
|. Kellogg Oh ''Some Objections to Single
Tax lie denied in toto the claim made
by Mr.. George that the land is falling into
fewer and fewer hands and gave figures to
sustain his statement 10 the contrary
He claimed that a single tax on land could
not possibly give revenue enough to support
the Government, and that besides being in
adequate 1t would be impracticable.

MEMORIES OF THE SHIP.
Voyage of the Argonauts in the
Humboldt in 1919.

San Argonauts "reminiscences Of Voy-
age to the Pacific Coast in 1885," was the
title of a paper read last night before the
California Historical Society at the Palace
Hotel by James E. Gordon. who arrived in
San Francisco September 1. 1S49 on the
clipper ship Alexander Won Humboldt.
The old ship was Dutch vessel. then
only five years in active service, but she ex-
perienced adverse winds and Gains after
leaving Panama on Sunday, May 90 1S49.
with 335 argonauts for the new Ell Dorado.
The cost Of the vessel was 100000, nearly
half of which was realized in the exorbitan
fares, which sold almost at auction in Pana-
ma. The owners had taken passage money
from about twice as many persons as could
be accommodated on board, to which Wig
orOus objection was raised, and second ship
had to be chartered to carry all the passen-
gers.
When lying in the becalmed tropical ocean
the hardy argonauts began to lose courage
and think of those they had left behind, for
the home sentiment was strong in their
breasts, and many tear was seen to course
down the young mems cheeks. But when
change of weather came and a favorable
wind arose all on board forgot the past, and
night after night the decks presented ga
scenes made musical by the notes of flutes
and water had been put on board before
sailing, and after two weeks began to show
its effects upon the passengers. A hospital
was erected on the poop-deck and was filled
with patients. Suffering followed and there
were several deaths.
The 4th of July was saluted at break of
day by the ships cannon, and the Amer
lean flag was unfurled amid cheers. Liter
airy exercises were held and a banquet of
douehnuts and spruce-beer at4 o'elock closed
the festivities.
1t was necessary to stop at Acapulco for
provisions and a sanitary and hygienic
change. After leaving that port two young
passengers, who shared the same mess in
the steerage, fought over some triie. They
were Coils Z. Huntington of the Southern
Pacific Company and A. NJ. Starr, the man
ufacturer of Oakland.
Sixteen years ago there were 100 members
OF the passenger-list alive; to-day only
twenty are living. The only survivor of
the three lady passengers is Mrs. Gordon,
mother OF the speaker. The members in
San Francisco are: Coils Z. Huntington,
A. A. Bennett, Il. E. Raymond, S.W. Shaw,
b. Il. Turner, Captain Taylor and James
f.. Gordon. Others are scattered over the
Coast.
1t was announced that paper on Early
Days in San Rafael" will be read before the
society in the near future. During the cur
rent year Hon. +. w. Van Reynegom, Hon.
John NJ. Burnett and General Moses G.
Cobb will read papers also.
The Historical Society is ambitious of
extending its scope of usefulness and max
ing its proceedings of popular interest
Wi Ii this end in view its working members
are considering proposition of taking
permanent rooms in the California Academy
of Sciences new building on Market street
and having large meeting-hall where
papers may be heard by the people.

The Effects Of Menta, Exb ,ustion.

Many diseases, especially those Of the ne rvous

exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an
amount OF mental wear and tear very prejudciai to

pursued, are no less destructive to brain and

Answers to Correspondents.

M. A. S., BELLOWS FALLs.-It would
be for your interest to complete your
application for pension under the old
law, if you can. Under that application
your pension would be S12 month
from the death of your husband. Under
the application under the act of June
27, 1890, you would receive only So a
month from the time your last appica-
ton was filed in the pension office. You
should furnish testimony showing the
date and cause of the soldiers death,
and if it appeared that he died of the
disease for which he was pensioned,
you would be granted pension under
your old application. The record of
deaths kept in the town clerks office
may show all the facts that you are re-
quired to prove.
l.. A. B., FRANKLIN.-This CORE
spondent writes: " have received the
enclosed postal card tonight from the
pension office. What does it mean? 1t
does seem to me that they are waiting
to see if | won't die. | am having a
hard time of it. The old gentleman is
not able to even chop the wood at the
door. [ have to work so my hand
trembles so / can hardly write. / am
in great want of my pension to procure
the necessaries of life. am on scanty
and poor allowance of a poor kind.
with no luxuries whatever and poor
clothes. | do need some new shoes
The card from the pension Office that
this lady inclosed shows that she is an
applicant for pension as a dependent
mother of dead soldier and is no
doubt entitled to pension, but we can
moi tell her when she will receive it to
relieve her needy condition. The Of
ficials, from the president down, boast
of The promptness and of the superior
methods of handling the pension bust
ness, VIII n in fact there never was so
much delay and poor work done in adj
Indicating pension claims as under
President Harrison's administration.
Many worthy applicant is thus wait
ing for pension.
Miss " -, CABOT. - This cor
respondent wrote on the corner of her
letter " Don't put this in print" so we
do not give her initials. She writes:
81 saw in the Soldiers Budget that
there was soldier that wanted to get
wife, that was getting S72 a month
pension. Now l do not hardly want
one that is as bad off as that one must
be, for my health is not very rugged,
but if you know of any one that was not
quite as bad off, l would like to have you
send him my address, as l would like
to correspond with some one. Would
want one of good habits" The pen
sioner that we referred to in November,
who wished us to get him wife, is
dead. They do not generally live long
after their pensions are raised to $72
month. SO if you marry one that is
rated high, your chances of becoming a
soldiers widow soon and receiving a
widows pension are much greater than
if you marry soldier that is not re-
ceiving more than $40 or So month.
We have given your address to pen
sioner, but not a soldier--a dependent
father, who wants good wife. The
only objection that you could have to
him would be his age, but you did not
say you were particular about that mat
ter. He is about seventy-five years
old, but as smart as men in general at
sixty. If you do not hear from him,
write again.

Pension Matters.

Two large pensions were granted re-
Gently to two New York veterans. John
Niedinger, a pauper in the city's aims
house, received S72 a month and 81 ,066
arrears. Harry Chapman, also blind
man, who lived on bread and water in
q dingy cellar uptown, received a pen
sion of S72 a month and Sl5 1888 arrears.
This was the largest pension ever paid
at the New York agency.
A WASHINGTON friend of James Tan
ner says that Tanner told him that his
income from his pension business this
year would not fall short of $50 600;
that he gave no personal attention to
pension cases, but turned them all over
to his clerks; also that Tanner was
under engagement to deliver one hun
dred lectures at 500 each, with his ex-
penses paid, and that he had recently
signed IA contract to become editor of
the new soldier paper in Brooklyn at
an annual salary of $4,000.
T. j. DEAvITT, Esq, of Montpelier
says that pension claims are so long
pending that applicants acquire such a
habit of calling on him for information
concerning them that they sometimes
call after the pension has been granted,
and in few instances, where the APP
plicants resided out of town, they have
written him after the adjudication of
their claims to know if he had heard
from the pension office. More than
1000 of the pensions granted the past
year, added Mr.. Deavitt, were on APP
pications that had been pending in the
pension Office for more than ten years.
A PETITION has been presented to
congress asking for an increase of the
pension of Patty Richardson of Bethel,
widow of revolutionary soldier.
Newspapers out of the state jump at
the conclusion that she is the last of
