CHILDREN's DAY.

At Plymouth Congregational church the
usual celebration of Children's day took
the place of the regular morning service,
the church being without pastor at pres
ent. The exercises consisted OF readings,
recitations, song service. etc. The decora-
tons were quite elaborate, and great credit
IS due Mr. and Mrs. c. A. Rose, not only
for the artistic manner in which they were
arranged but for their liberal donation of
plants and flowers. The singing as well as
the recitations were very fayorably COM
mented upon. These occasions are a
source Of great pleasure, as well as disci-
pline to the little ones

HURT BY a FALL,

A S. Ireland, one of the city's Sunday
visitors. received serious injuries by fall
ing from a second story window of the
Logan house on East Douglas avenue Sun
day evening. He was on his way TO Okla
homa and stopped over for that day in this
city. When lie wound up in the evening
he was very much intoxicated and seemed
bent on mischief to himself or some one
else. About 10 o'clock he was sent TO his
room where the accident happened. When
picked up on the avenue below and taken
up stairs again, he would have gone
through the same performance again had
he not been prevented by the lHndlady.
Word was telephoned to HettIEger Bros.
drug store for a physician, aud DR.. Owens
responded. He found the man with a
broken hip bone aud some minor injuries.
which may Kill him, but lie IS sure to be a
life cripple.

SOUTH SIDE MEETING.

Those who were not prevented By the
threatening appearance of the clouds from
attending the tent meeting on South EN-
poria avenue had good time last evening.
Some probably feared that the canvass
might not prove completely waterproof,
but it was proved in the heavy rain OF the
early part of the evening as trustworthy
as any roof.
Evangelist Vernon took for his text,
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst
after righteousness; for they shall be
filled" The general idea of the sermon
was that wanting things enough TO seek
them earnestly goes before getting them.
The proposition was illustrated by inter
esting references to history, and applica-
ton made TO religious desires. An earnest
appeal was made to ell to make known
the spiritual desires in their souls and
have them divinely satisfied.

Cleveland. During the greater part
of Thursday and Saturday he sat
there. DR.. Bryant gave a din
ner at his home in Thirty sixth
street. The dinner had been planned a
number of days before. There were a
number of famous professional men and
other people of note there. The guests
had finished their dinner and were
smoking their cigars. 1t was after 9
o'clock. A messenger came to the door
and rang the bell imperatiyely. He de-
manded to see the doctor at once. When
the doctor returned to his guests he ex-
cused himself, saying in a bored sort of
way that it was a professional call, and
that he must go at once. Not to sim
gle guest privately did he explain what
the call was. Straight to the Cleveland
mansion DIR. Bryant went. They were
awaiting him anxiouslY. Mr.Cleveland
was banished to the library.
At last.
"It's GIRL" they said. "Mrs. Cleve-
land is all right"
He took it very quietly, simply say
ing, 'Thank you"
The little girl was born at exactly
1906 Saturday morning. Just before
daylight the mother fell asleep. The
glad news could be kept no longer. Mr..
Cleveland must share his joy. The
butler glided out of the house with gel
low slips of paper. They were tele-
grams to relatives aud intimate friends.
The news was slow in reaching the
world at large, the secret had been so
carefully guarded. Hours elapsed be-
fore it reached the busy people who
were so anxious to hear of it.

THE RAILWAY TRAINMEN.
Their Annual Convention to Open
This Morning.

GALESBURG, ILL.,, Oct. 4.-The annual
convention of the Brotherhood OF Rail
way Trainmen of the United States and
Canada opens here at 9 o'clock to.mor-
row morning. The larger part of the
pa lodges are already represented.
The three principal issues to come be-
fore the convention relate to the dis
charge of the grand trustees by Grand
Master S. E. Wilkinson, the discharge
of the switchmen on the Northwestern
road and the election of officers. F. M.
McNearny, the Northwestern's yard
master at Chicago, and the trainmen's
grievance committee on that system
are here to explain that diff
Guilty to the convention. Grand
Chief Conductor E. E. Clark, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, is pres
ent, and sustains the position taken by
Grand Master Wilkinson and diSap-
council in eXpelling the trainmen. Hon.
l.. s. Coffin, of Iowa, arrived last night
to advocate the necessity of automatic
couplers for cars and Sunday rest for
railway employees. So far as the switch
mems trouble is concerned, it is likely
that the convention will sustain the
action of the grand master. The latter
part of the week some action NAV be
taken on the federation question, but
this will depend OH the action taken at
the meeting this week at Cedar Rapids
of the committees of the Brotherhood
of Railway Conductors and Order of
Railway Conductors on the proposition
of union Of the two organizations.

CHINESE WAR TALK.
The Steamer Belgic Brings Some
of 1t to Frisco.

of 1t to Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The Occi-
dental & Oriental steamer Belgic ar
rived early this morning from China,
Japan ard Hawaii. She brings advices
from China to Sept. 3,from Japan to the
14th, and from Hawaii to the Goth. The
Overland China Mail of Sept. says ed
itorially: ut seems in every likelihood
that compensation will soon be paid by
China for damages during the recent
riots. Tae French claims at Wuhu are
already settled, and others will be ami
cabIy adjusted soon. The treaty powers,
however, find it more difficult to per-
suade China to open Human at the time
when so many nations are following the
example of the United States in their
treatmentof China. China is too weak
to protest effectively against this bad
treatment of her subjects, but the con-
duct of the Americans, who have shown
hopeless incapaclty in dealing with the
Chinese, has not been observed with in
difference. Only the other day Ii Hung
Chang sanctioned the proposal of the
Chinese consul at San Francisco to
transfer all the Chinese coolies in Amer
lea en- bloc to the gold mines in the
Amur district. Meanwhile the govern
danger of mob rule. a tendency is being
manifested for military governors of
provinces. Manchus seem to be afraid
of an outbseak. The probability is that
the present crisis will pass over. There
is not yet sufficient combustibes for
big explosion, but an explosion seems
inevitable"
The North China News says: Dur
ing the last few years all the ministers
of the powers at Picking had put up
with insults and humiliations. If there
is war, and there will be unless China
meets our demands fully and honestly,
these anti-missionary riots will be
merely an exciting cause, Real causes
have been accommodating for years. The
chief offender is the province of Human.
From it emanate all the lying pamph-
lets and placards that stir up the people.
There was very large fire at Chung
King Aug. 8. When the fire engines
were brought out only two Of thirteen
were found to be in condition for use.
1t was soon discovered that the taitao
of the city had dismissed the fire crews
and embezzled the money provided for
their maintenance. A mob Of 10000 at
tackled his dwelling two days later, and
1t was only with the greatest difficulty
| he escaped being torn to njsles. This
