sandwiches and ham, chickens. cheese,
pies, cakes and doughnuts enough to pro-
vision an army. Then the men nailed
them down and carried them away to
make room for fresh yawning boxes. And
still the ladies packed with the courage of
despair, for they saw n o end to their labOrs.
They did valiant work yesterday, that

thr boys should know their names and

AS the newsboys came for their papers
they could gaze up into the msiling-room
and see what was going forward. Toward
afternoon their excitement bordered on
enthusiasm, in spite of the fact that po-
liceman with a cleaning star conspicu-
ously displayed was in the very middle of
the band of elbowipg, jostlng newsboys.
'Some of those little fellows are COM
mencing to feel hungry when they see
all those cakes and sandwiches up there"
observed the mailing clerk, who was per-
forming the work of ten men and inviting
his assistants to do likewise.

Max Shirpser of 910 Market street made
donation of jewelry. The fact is that
after the picnic the newsboys will possess
so much jewelry that they may be tempted
TO give themselves the airs of bloated arls-
tocrats.
Another acceptable Offering was don ted

Time for All.
THERE ARE LOADS OF PIES.

AT last the long-eXpected day of THE
CALLS picnic has come. All the news
boys are off for FL Campo, and by 10
o'clock this morning there will not be a
juvenile vendor of papers left in the whole
length and breadth of San Francisco
Every preparation was completed last
night, from the lunch to the pins for the
badges. Punctually at 9 A. NJ the lib
uron ferry gates open and the newsboys,
whether they have tickets or not. pass the
COMMITTEES of inspection.
That fiery ordeal successfully gone
through they board the Ukiah, with band
playing and flags flying The newsboys
are as safe on the Ukiah as on dry land.
She is the largest double-end passenger
boat in the world. and her capacity is so
great that If ten times the number of boys
took trip IN her they would not be crowd
ed. The children may all stand at one
side of the steamer, too, ii the fancy
seiZes them TO gaze at any sight In the bay.
The Ukiah has fiat hull and never tips
TO one side under any provocation what
ever.
II this picnic had been a society event
for the most exclusive set of the 400 there
could not have been a greater rush TO Sc
cure tickets. All this week numbers of
people have been applying TOR invitations

implored bv outsiders to make just one ex-

The would-be exceptions have run into
the hundreds. None have been made,
however. The newsboys are the houored
guests to-day. and everyone else who at
tends the picnic is doing so in some official
capacity for the pleasure of the little urch-
ms. The general public has taken very
keen interest In the affair, however, and
yesterday the promised contributions came
IN thick and fast.
1t was a sight worth behOding to watch
the committee of ladies working on the
lunch in THE CALLS mailing-rOom. All
the great tables that are used for wrap
ping papers were swathed in white and
literally groaned beneath the weight of
good things. From early morn till dewy
eve those seven ladies packed and packed
and packed till it was wonderful that they
had any strength left

It, unscholarly and unscientifc men, are
more likely 30 be the bearers of danger
against the Bible from their Ignorance Of
it, than the critics, from their study Of
it.
The study Of the Bible does not and
cannot produce disbelief AS code Of
morals It is a masterpiece. It is difficult
TO find a scholar who will not admit that
It is superhuman.
Referring to that fearless and conf
dent stand, which all men who believe
in the Justice and truth of their
cause must take sooner OF later
or cease to fight for it, Mr.. Keig-
win is ready to challenge criticism,
the higher the better and invite investi
cation for errors, the more careful aud
searching, the better, Of the Bible BE
says:
And certainly it is in no danger from
the higher critics in England and
America, for the only true friend of the
Bible in this age of thought is he who
would thoroughly search its pages and
cut out Of it every thing human-all the
interpretations and errors.so that one
may have in 1t only that which it pro-
fesses to contain-a revelation from God.
Surely those who believe that the Bible
is revelation from God cannot deny a
scholar the privilege of proving that
errors of various kinds may have come
into the text. As well might one be
afraid that the astronomer might impair
the beauty and power of the sun by
proving that there are spots on it.
Suppose that there are spots; is the
glory, the effulgence, the magnificent
force Of the sun not still supTeme2 Is it

enough of It's own magnitude; Of its own
power; of its own superiority, in spite

their distance annihilating lenses, can

There is no fear for the Bible. Even
If there were, the position of the blgots

the truth drst, and reconcile that with

THE charming, intelligent and withal
discriminating young woman who praises
the EVENING JOURNAL for its stand
about some other things" than our local
politicians, has simply different point
In view. We rarely discuss politics with
women; they are too sentimental. But
in this case we would be willing to dis
cuss the local Republican politicians she
refers to on moral and sentimental
grounds. We do not believe that Bach,
and those who with him have become
industrious in politics, are of any advan-
tage to Wilmington or to Delaware.
We think we can readily prove, that,
even Republicanism would be healthier
and more wholesome, II the men whom
the EVENING JOURNAL has held up to
scorn and ridicule were not in It or. at
least, II better men were elevated to their
places. This is not partisanship merely
for we can argue the proposition upon
high moral grounds We have yet to
hear Of public act, or public senti-
ment from this source on which the in
telligent, and generous young woman
whose words we print In another column,
could feel '1ike shaking hands" The
EVENING JOURNAL does not have one
system Of morals and another system Of
politics. We never praise bad man or
bad measure, in morals or in politics.

ONE of the best evid ences Of the
worth, the versatility and moral purity Of
the EVENING JOURNAL is that the
women read it. Strange to say, they
read the editorial page Their sweet
amiability is sometimes disturbed by q
political thrust at their party, for they
have party after ALA parry that infu-
ences great many votes that it does
not actually cast-but they al
ways come back to find safe

is a great triumph TO have won
the favor Of the women, for they are
the keenest, the severest. as well as
the most generous, Of critics. They
see the good or evil in newspapers as
they detect the good or the evil in a
man quicker by intuition than a man
gets at It by reason. Sometimes mans
reason is warped by politics or by
association; 1t is rare that woman 8
