The morning call., 1894-09-10

sma'" hours of Sunday morning. Nor
was there any necessity whatever for the
ringing of church bells on this bright Sab
bath morn.
Those VINO were fortunate enough to
secure a couch within the city limits
found il advisable to rise early in order to
steady their overweight nerves, while
the happy-go-lucky Dature possessed of
migratory habits was simply compelled to
keep walking or fall asleep against con-
venient lamppOst. The latter alternative
he positively refused to do business with,
and for once the bellringer was fOiled.
There was altogether too much fun on
hand to think of rest or sleep, and for
second time in its heretofore peaceful his
tory the tIee-dotted town of San Jose was
figuratively turned upside down.
The boys didn't do anything at all to the
police force.
The tin stars of the peace custodians
paled iuto dimness, alongside the gaudy
badges and natty costumes OF the various
parlors. The police soon realized their
own inferijrity and turned over everything
portable to the visiting sons, the electric
tower at the present time, being the only
permanent fixture undisturDed in the
heart of the city.
The Oldest uha bitant devoted the early
morning hours to an effort TO ascertain

necessary TO swear in every Native Son al

themselves out upon the streets and choke
off the supply of liquid refreshment. II
was foregone conclusion that the ma
tives would disdain to lend their
aid to such a proposition, especially with
the thermometer sizzling at SO degrees in
the shade, so the policemen donned a
couple of eye blinds and the patrolmen
donned dark-green goggles.
San Jose's hospitality is being taxed to
its utmost. The town is full of strange
beds, and still there are scores carrying
the banner and shouting themselves into
a state of wakefulness. They appea-
happy in spite of all inconvenience, and
live in the hope that many of the San
Francisco delegation will be obliged to re-
turn to their homes this evening. The
committee on rooms, consisting of S. l..
Worden, w. A. CASTOR and w. Fl. Car
