A CONVICT'S NEEDS TOWARD REF

Resolutions Alone Insufficient.

(Sec0nd Pnper.)
Praiseworthy indeed are the solemn
resolutions made by the penitent con-
vict in order that gladness may some
dav re-enter the heart of our poor
weeping mother, Or of suffering wife,
and innocent children. These ought to
be sufficient reasons why the erring
convict should mend his ways and live
a life of usefulness in this busy world
of fame and gain. No doubt many
criminally inclined individuals, in
whom the debased propensities of evil
doing predominant, have for mothers,
wives, or childrens' sake, rooted from
their minds all the weeds of evil, and
today are leading honorable and re-
spectacle lives among their fellowmen,
regardless of the many temptations
that beset them day after day. Still
such men are not strictly honest but
honest only for purpose.
Men have left these prison walls with
avowed intentions of leading better
lives in the future. They Immediately
procured a position and began their
work. All eyes who knew OF their

CALIFORNIA GLACIAL PERIOD
THE FOURTH OF PROFESSOR LIE
CONTE'S LECTURES ON AN
I INTERESTING TOPIC.
How THE MOUNTAINS SHOW A Rec
ORD OF THE GLACIERS-THE
LAKES AND RIVERS.

| The fourth of the series of lectures on the
glacial epoch by Professor LIE Conte was
delivered last night in Young Mems Chris
tan Association Hall.
| The lecturer took up the thread of his
previous lecture and contended that the ice
sheet which covered the country down to
the California line was not connected with
the independent ice mantle that covered
our State. He then devoted himself to a
description of the ice signs noticeable on
the eastern slopes of the mountains. The
country east of the Sierra Nevadas, he said
may be ikened to an immense earth wave
that rose to a certain point and then sud-
denly seemed to break at the crest, and the
traces are to be seen at this date. He de-
scribed several ravines and canyons in the
vicinity of Mono Lake which he asserted
were glacial rivers that emptied into the
lake.
Describing the Bloody Canyon, near
Mono Pass, he said that in the middle of
the canyon there exists rock basin tn at
at one time was washed out by a glacial
current. Two thousand feet below there
are two debris piles, 400 or 500 feet high,
which abut against what must have been
a dam that formed the end of the lake,
which the evidence shows was some 5000
feet above the present level.
The professor then at length gave the
result of his observations in the wonderful
canyon while tracing the glacial period.
Then he devoted some time to descrip-
ton of the Lake Tahoe glacier, which is to
be seen by the moraines on the south side
of the lake as you look south from Tahoe
City. Then he explained how the glacier
in the midst of these moraines had formed
what are known as Fallen Leaf Lake, Cas-
cade Lake and Emerald Bay.
The peculiar formations in the high
Sierras, the many lakes and lakelets seen
from the highest peaks, he explained were
the result Of the movements OF the glaciers.
After this the professor explained how
the river beds in California show the
traces of an independent glacier. Consid
cradle time was taken in describing the
manner in which the rivers cut through
the country to seek their base level. At
the close of his very interesting lecture
Professor LIE Conte was loudly applauded.

Insurance Managers Discuss Their Dis
agreeable Campaign.
The Board of Fire Underwriters of the
Pacific held a meeting yesterday, at which
Judge McKenna's decision in the case OF
the Continental (non-board) Company
against the compact was discussed. Strict
secrecy as to what took place at the meet
ing was observed, as the managers have
determined not to give away their hand
until ready for action.
''It makes little difference one way OF
another" said Manager Duval of the Con
tinental Company-''that is, it is not OF
much consequence to US what action the
board may take now. In the rate wal
business has been cut as low as so per cent
We have refused risks at prices that were
taken by the board managers, feeling con-
WINGED they were not desirable, and then
we were getting about all the business we
could write without giving chromos as
premiums for policies. That's what it has
virtually come to in some cases-chromos
to get business. Now, if the board of man
ayers suspend rates generally they cannot
very well go below so per cent. It makes a
difference when you receive only 20 cents
where you used to get dollar"
j. d. Maxwell, city agent of the Cont
mental, stated that his company had gained
its point so far. The trial is yet to take
place, but already the fighting company
got the delay it desired in which to secure
new business, and now its books are filled
with desirable lines.

qtiin road. That enterprise is one that ap-
peals directly both to sense and to senti-

tion and at the same time revolt against
the existing railway monopoly. AS mat
ter of business it will be conducted SO as to
yield profit to the stockholders, and as a
matter of competition it will lower freight

the very evident unity between the profit
to the stockholders and the benefit to the
public, in the enterprise, however, there
are not few people who can see only one

An example of this is found in the fire.
queney with which we hear people urging
the construction of the road on the ground
that 1t will benefit the public by reducing
rates, while little or nothing is said of the
benefits to be derived from it by the stock
holders as business investment. The
stockholders do indeed guarantee that the
dividends shall not exceed six per cent per
annum, and that the rates of freights and
fares shall be fixed on that basis, but that
is good dividend when it is remembered
that the road itself will pay all taxes and
the dividend will be free from taxation.
The policy of the proposed road will be
to earn money for the stockholders,
and it will be able to do this in
competition with the existing railroad
because it will have no interest to
pay on heavy Indebtedness such as bur-
dens the present road. The fixed charges
on the new road will be comparatively
light, and therefore it can haul freight and
passengers at much lower rates than the
old road and still pay the proposed divi-
dends. There may be sentiment at the
back of the proposed road, but there is
business sense at the head of it, and all
who subscribe to the stock may count on
receiving good profit on the investment.

A TIME TO BEGIN.

| In Mondays CALL appeared list of the
manufactures of various kinds in oper.
alton at Napa. For convenience in adopt
| ing suggestion that we shall now make
this list is here repeated, in condensed
| form:
The Sawyer Tanning Company, which
tans glove leather and makes superior
gloves for miners, smelter-workers, farmers
| and railroad men.
The Napa woolen-mill making all-wool
fiannels and blankets. Nearly two-thirds
OF its blankets are sent East.
The Raymond & Williams glove factory,
| which makes patent seamless glove, sell
ing nine-tenths of its product in the East.
The McBain tannery, which tans heavy
skins for soles and harness.
The Enterprise planning mill, turning out
general work
The Migliavacca Wine Company, whose
| clarets captured a gold medal at the Paris
Exposition of 1885,
Carpy & Co., winery and distillery.
The Lisbon winery, famous for its sherry.
The Napa Fruit Packing and Canning
Company, one of the largest in the State.
These are the leading institutions of
Napa. They employ hundreds of oper-
atlves and are all prosperous.
1t Is remarkable fact that most of them
have to seek market in the East This is
not because the home demand for such
articles is not sufficiently large to take the
products, but because Californians con-
sumo similar articles made in the East.
Let us analyze the case of the glove fac
tories. In order to compete with the
manufacturers in the East they must bear
the heavy expense of shipping the gloves
across the continent. Thus the gloves ar
rive in the East with this addition to their
cost of production. But it is profitable for
the makers to ship to the East Hence it
is evident either that the cost of manufac-
ture at Napa is smaller than the cost of
manufacture in the East, or that the gloves
are better; it makes no difference with the
argument whether the one condition exists
or the other.
The Eastern buyer, therefore, is in
position to send these same gloves back to
California consumers and sell them at
profit. Hence the Californian, no matter
whether he buys these gloves so returned
or gloves made in the East, is virtually
paying for them an unnecessary freight
charge twice across the continent This is
the smallest part of the trouble. If the
gloves made at Napa were consumed here.
the money would be kept at home and
turned into the general account of the
States prosperity.
1t is time that Californians were learning
business as well as patriotism.

A reception was rendered last evening at
Aloazar building by San Francisco Tent
No. Is, Knights of the Maccapees of the
World, to D. P. Marley, supreme COM
mander of that order who is on tour of
the United States.
The large social hall was crowded when
the entertainment was begun at 8 o'clock,
and all through the evening considerable
enthusiasm was manifested over the event.
After an overture by the orchestra DR.. A.
Kahn delivered an address of welcome to
the supreme commander The audience
was entertained by Victoria Orr, who sang
nicely. J. Williams, who recited pathetic
and humorous sketches, and Miss Ella
Dennis, with piano solos.
Supreme Commander Markey was intro
duced by Charles J. King in a brief ad-
dress, which covered various matters of
Importance in the order and the reason for
Mr.. Markey's visit to San Francisco. The
guest of the evening talked in fluent
convincing manner, beginning with com
pliments for his audience and gradually in
Producing facts about the Maccabees. He
said that. although the society is in its in
fancy on the Pacific Coast it has forged
ahead rapidly and will be near the top be-
fore many years shall have passed. It
combines social with business features in
uniting fraternal spirit with the main es-
sential OF life insurance, which has made it
very popular in the East.

follows: instrumental music, Fisher.

PUSHING THE GOOD WORK.

We publish this morning an elaborate
editorial from the Examiner of yesterday
| urging a popular subscription to the COM
fects in its statements, particularly in that
which refers to the road as am undertaking
to build up the City rather than as strictly
business enterprise profitable in itself; but
in the main the article is vigorous, clear
and convincing, and should be read by
every citizen OF California.
We are glad TO see our great contempt
rary swinging the whole of its powerful in
fuence on the side of progress in this way.
1t is another evidence of that harmony OF
sentiment and unity of interest that now
prevail in the City and have brought all
enterprising elements of press and people
to work together as effectively as if they
had been organized for that express pur-
pose. Much good will certainly result from
the popular subscription started in this
way, and we have no doubt the Examiner
will have the proud satisfaction of seeing
the first $4,000 subscribed in much
shorter time than was anticipated.
Along with the commentator given to
the Examiner as newspaper, special praise
and credit are due to the editor and pro-
prietor, W. R. Hearst, for his offer to add
$1,000 to every $4,000 subscribed at the
Examiner Office. Mr.. Hearst can well afford
to give that much, or even more. His
property interests in the City are so large
the construction of the competing road
will yield him profit in the advanced
value of real estate that will easily repay
all he may subscribe in that way. 1t would
be narrow judgment, however, to con-
clude that this fact detracts from the worth
OF his offer or his usefulness to the City in
making it. There are plenty of rich land
owners in the City who have subscribed
nothing, and are not likely to subscribe
Had Mr.. Hearst been less broad minded,
less enterprising, less gifted with public
spirit and the faculty of true leadership,
he might have contented himselfsas so
many have done with talking of progress
and leaving others to do the work and pay
the bills.
We regard Mr.. Hearst's action therefore
as one of the best movements of the time;
second only to that of the men who under
took the enterprise at the. beginning and
launched it. Now let everybody get into
the swim. Roll up the subscriptions.
There should be no jealousy anywhere in
the work, but generous rivalry every
where to see who can do most to advance
the interests of the City and the State.
