No, indeed! When l am ready, she is

"It is said that Senator Seymour will

count"
Then Mr.. Hansted did get angry.
Senator Seymour make a statement
he exclaimed. "He dare not. If he is
game enough to say anything he will say
that l and Mrs lie Ballister are trying to
blackmail him. If speaking the truth is
what Senator Seymour calls matchmaking,
then neither he nor his associates ever told
the truth in their lives"
"What did the arrangement that YOU
claim Senator Seymour violated include ?''
'Well, good many things. There was
the pilot bill, the charity measure, which
he calls Governor Budd's pet bill, the
cordage bill and the scaIpers' bill. They

The Rev.. Mr.. Merrill spoke. at some
length and declared that the time is at
hand when the Protestant world is no
longer to permit the sister church, the
Roman, to have all the Sisters of Mercy.
He then spoke of the duty of the church
and the need for more energetic work. He
predicted that within the next ten years.
there would be seen in every city great
brotherhoods going out as the Nazarene
went out to lift up fallen humanity; and
great sisterhoods of young women, many
of them trained nurses, devoted Christian
souls who have sat at the feet of.the Master
and have learned of him the secret of sal:

He then paid high tribute to the young
women who had sacrificed so much time
in. order that they might learn to care for
the sick and the suffering, and dwelt upon
the unselfish motives that had prompted
them to devote themselves to the relief of
the distressed. -
Mrs. Harrington then, in a few well
chosen words, in which she spoke of the
duties they would have to perform, handed
each graduate her diploma. :.

Company. Men Say: the Raise Is
:: Only an EQUALIZATION of
-. Prices. -.

The war which has been waged for the
past five years between the three local ice
companies is. at an end, and while the
members of the companies are eongratu-
lating themselves upon the outcome some
of the customers are in a dubious frame oil
mind. -. -: :. =: .;,.>...
Z. The first intimation which consumers OF
ice had that the warning magnates of the
companies had smoked the pipe of peace
and. shaken hands across the glacial chasm
was in the: form of card which notified
them that on and after April the prices
would be advanced on 1Oo-pound lots.
The card was signed. by the Union. Ma
tional and Consumers Ice companies,
and by it ice was advanced 10 consumers
Of from ten TO fifty pounds 100 percent.
The prices were then scaled as follows:
Fifty to one hundred pounds, rs cents; 100
i: to $50 pounds, 90 cents, $50 to 800 pounds, so
cents; 300 to 500 pounds, 10 cents; 600 to
1900 pc llndsy 40 cents; 1900 to 1000, 35 cents;
1000 to 1000, 80 cents; 1000 and upward, 27la
cents. j.. -: -. :
" The agreement which the ice com panies
have reached is by no. means satisfactory
to- the small consumers, and as they form
. the majority of the customers of the COM
panies they are nplaining that they are
obliged to pay double what they did be-
fore. i.
SIT is very unjust and UNFAIR said one
of these compliments yesterday, that
where we. had to pay only half cent a
pound for ice before we must pay cent.
Thecompanies may we'll keep the rate low
on large lots: for they well know that the
consumers of large quantities: are few when
compared with their small consumers.
The result of this will be that many of us
will have to reduce our supply one-haff,
but. that will not affect the companies, as
they know, for they will still get what they
did before.N
: The company men. however, take diff
ferent yiew:of the matter. In speaking of
the situation, Joseph Martin, superintend-
ent OF the National Ice Company, said: ::
: It is time that this war was over. :: 1t has done
none:ot us any good. In fact, the companies
were losing money in keeping up the competi-
ten. do not look upon the new schedule as
an. advance In prices fits really reduction
III some instances, and an equalization all
around. You see, while the war was on we
were all cutting prices-we had to meet compe-
.tltion and hold trade-and the very fact that
/: holsters Of stock in some companies had to lose
their shares under assessments proves that
there was no money being made. Some con-
SINNERS were paying one price and Others an.
Others That was not fair. Now there: is but
one price to everybody. -
I. No, there is no combine between the COM
panies. Our interests are not thrown together.
We have only concluded that for mutual pro-
lection we must agree on uniform price.

G. Merrill, assistant pastor of the church,

while the other members of the class wore
each a pale pink rose. They formed a
pretty picture.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Merrill Mrs.
Harrington introduced Dr. MacMonagle,
who said that the young ladies who had
| assembled to receive their diplomas had
spent much time in the study of profess
sion which is arduous, but full of charity.
There are some things, he said, that men
may do better than women, but there IS
one thing in which woman excels man,
and that is in nursing the sick. The train
ing school in connection with the Chill
dren's Hospital, from which the young
women graduated, is the first of the kind
established on the Pacific slope. Much
credit was due to Mrs. DR.. Browne and to
DR.. Wanzer, who had inaugurated the
movement, and to the present manage
ment that had done so much to bring the
school to its present state of perfection.
To these young women who had devoted
so many months to learning how to care
for the sick the community owes debt of

the other hand, the nurses owe a duty to
those who employ them, and that is to re-

trouble by reporting, as matters of idle
gossip, that which may come under their
observation.
He spoke to them at length OF their OBJ
legations, the necessity for continuing their
studies and becoming, as they may, the

expressing the hope that at no distant day

Action Taken Toward Buying Property fol-
the Valley Road,


STOCKTON, CAL, April There was
an enthusiastic meeting of citizens here to-
night at the rooms of the Stockton Com
mercial Association, to take action in. the
matter of raising money with which to
buy the property asked for by the San Joa-
quain Valley and San Francisco Railroad.
President Buell. of the Commercial Asso-
citation presided. A committee appointed
for the purpose looked into the cost of the
property required, and reported that to-
gether with the rights of way to the
county line it would require about $3.50, 000
Senator John Boggs had knocked off
about half the value of the tract owned by
him, and Charles Weber had donated the
two blocks of land, the committee reported.
There We're great many questions asked
by those present relative to the rights of
way and the time in which the work of
construction would commence. The an
swers to these questions produced great
enthusiasm, all OF them being of the most
encouraging nature. 1t was stated that
the Councils stood ready to grant all the
rights of way. -
q. A. Thurston, passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific: Company, appeared be-
fore the association in the interest of the
excursions proposed by the Half-million
Club of San Francisco and explained the
scope of the club and its intentions. It
was resolved to cooperate with the club.
and Secretary henderson of the Commer-
cIal Association was instructed to write for
further particulars. 1t was resolved to APP
point committees from among those pres
ent to solicit subscription OF money, and it
was decided to commence this soliciting at
once. A committee will be appointed for
each ward and the canvass will be
thorough. 1t is the desire to raise the
money as soon as possible Cash subscrip-
lions amounting to several thousand dol
lars were made by those present, most of
the subscriptions being small however.
Meetings will be held frequently until the
money is raised.

We need a policeman. Net be-

because our present force is inefii-

than the midnight burglar, more to
be dreaded than gang of hungry
tramps or an army with banners.

they swarm.

would much rather pay for a man
to do it. But it does not answer the
urgency for some to. clean up when

essary cleaning, and let the work be
done thoroughly, and at once.
