The greatest difficulty
mothers find in buying
clothes for their boys is to
find something for the boys
between the ages of A and
7. Most goods, especially
winter weights, are too
heavy and clumsy for this
mild climate. Knowing
this we have had a num-
ber of pretty styles made
up for our trade. We have
them in kits, Vestie Suits,
Refer Suits and the cele-
brated Primrose Suit; also

The next speaker was Mrs. G. E. Hut
ton, upon the general work of the
Woman's Home Missionary society, in
which she also gave brief synopsis of
the history OF the organization and
reasons for the same. There are IL spe-
ci6c bureaus of work under she direc-
tion of this organization There are
now nine industrial homes under this
organization, which are themselves
sorts of schools OF literature and applied
industries and spiritual morality. This
organization has schools among the In
dians in several different sections OF the
country.
Miss Priest followed Mrs. Hutton's
address with beautiful solo, Our Mis-
sion.
This was followed by Rev. f. w.
Casswell OF the Santa Barbara district.
He argued very eloquently, for taking
care of Elijah first, representing Elijah
as the Home Missionary society. He
warned the various organizations against
seeing only one side. The freedmen are
to be educated and Christianized, so also
the Indians, the emigrants, and the
people on the frontiers. He also gave
some outline ON the character of the
especial needs OF the people OF the cold
northwest, giving some beautiful incl
dents as illustrations. This nation
should be the spiritual lighthouse of the
nations of the earth.
PERSONAL.
The prominsnt characters of the con-
ference up to this stage of the sessions
are OF course the presiding elders, whose
official relations to the body make them
the channels OF correspondence between
the people and the preachers in quite an
important sense.
Rev. G. w. White. who presides over
Los Angeles district. is not only the
youngest man ON the board, but also the
youngest officer, and has the largest
number of preachers to preside over.
He is very popular, however, with both
ministers and people.
Rev. E. s. Chase, tie presiding elder
of the San Diego district, is the ranking
man, having completed i've full years in
his present relation. He, too. is 80
popular that his brethren have asked
ior his return fer the sixth year.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The Much Advertised "After the
Ball" is Given a Full House.
That decidedly frisky and some
what risque play "After the Ball."
was given to a splendid house at
the Grand last night. 1t would not
be just to characterize it as naugh-
ty play, for it is not, neither is it a
nice play, in the accepted sense of
that term. There is fun in it, and
no end Of situations, for those who
like their fun in solid chunks and
are not particular about its flavor.
There is no doubt Of its drawing
qualities, for it is full of incident
and situations that might be very
embarrassing, and in the hands of
any other actor than Graham
would be decidedly off. There is no
immortality in the play, outside of
the "After the Ball" drunk, but
the play is coarse in grain
and in fibre, and does not COM
mend itself to the appreciation of
the refined and cultured taste.
Outside of this there is nothing to
be said against it, and as for it's
laughter provoking qualities,
1T has no rival, among those who
can dominate their sense of fine
ness by their sense of the ridicu-
lous. To all such it is irresistibly
funny, and the complications
growing out of that "drunk" are
woven into a tissue of incidents
that in the hands OF such master
Of comedy as Graham, keep the
house in constant peals of laughter.
There is nothing wicked in sug-
gestiOn, only that which is opposed
to refinement, and to those with
whom this is not an objection
the play presents immense attrac-
tiOns. Graham is a whole comedy
in himself, and he has some good
support. 1t drew a good house, as
it does everywhere, and is destined
to. AS money making hit it is
success. Graham is capable of
such good work, in a higher field,
that it is to be regretted that he
has harnessed his talents to"After
the Ball."
The play is repeated this after
noon and evening.
"Dr. Bill" a really legitimate
comedy, takes the boards for Fri
days matinee and evening.

the resolutions are virtual condemnation

TROY, N. Y, Aug. 5.-About p m. a
pleasure party while going to n dance at
the lower end-of Lake George met with a
terrible calamity. The steam yacht Rachel
was conveying twenty-nne people up the
lake when in the dark the vessel run upon
a supken pier, and before assistance arrived
from the shore, it sunk with all on board.
1t was only few minutes after the
shock when the yacht careened to one side
and went down in eighteen feet of water.
The shrieking, struggling passengers bat
tied for life in the darkness. Women
threw up their arms and sank beneath the
surface, and when brought ashore life had
fled Deeds of heroism were performed by
the men.
When all in sight had reached the 81 1re
1t was learned that nine persons, all
women except youth of TO- had sunk to
watery graves. AS soon as possible an at
tempt to recover the bodies was made
After strenuous efforts all the bodies were
brought to the surface.
Following is a correct list of the drowned:
4uiSo iihotic ildii, DTOOhlJHi bertHH 1Jene-
dict, Mont Clair, N. j.; Miss Edith Hard
ing, Hoboken, N. j.; Miss H. NJ. Burton,
Jersey City; Mrs. j. Fl. Mitchell, Burlng-
ton; F. G. Mitchell, Burlington; Lizzie
Corley, Burlington; Clara Black, Burling-
ton; Lizzie Clark, Bridgeport.
The passengers scarcely knew what had
happened before the boat filled with water
and sunk. The ladies on board were
laughing and singing. The boat sank SO
rapidly that no timo was given to the ill
fated pleasure seekers to utter prayer
Some of the passengers were caught un-
der the shade deck and died quickly It
seemed hours before help arrived, though
dozen men were on the water in row
boats almost before the smokestack of the
Rachel sank from sight.
That SO many lives should be lost at
such an early hour Of the night, and within
speaking distance of the land where two
large hotels are located, can only be ac-
counted for by the fact that the night was
unusually dark and the boat sank very
rapidly after hitting the pier.
Young Mr.. Benedict, son of the wealthy
New York jeweler, who was on the boat.
is an expert swimmer. He tried to save
his sister and dived for her once.
Frank Mitchell, aged 10 years, Of Bur-
ington, VT, lost his life while trying to
save his mother, who was also drowned.
Robert Sims, of Glen's Fall, and others
who assisted In the search for the bodies
did not give up until they had found the
nine bodies.
The regular pilot Of the boat, Mr.. Bar
ber was not on duty at the time of the
accident, he having been excused by MI.
Allen. proprietor of the Fourteen Mile
Island hotel, and owner of the vessel, on
account Of illness. Claude Granger, an
inexperienced man, was in charge Of the
boat There were twenty-nine persons on
the boat when she struck.
