Exposition Of the Views of the
- Association.

The colored citizens who opposed the
Afro-American League Congress, and call
ing themselves the Colored Citizens ALI
ance, held meeting at Bethel Church on
Powell street. near Jackson, last night, pre-
sided over A. A. Collins. The church was
crowded to the doors and in the audience
were many ladies.
Mr.. Collins called the meeting to order
and in few terse remarks urged the. col
ored people to take some definite steps in
the building up of the race commercially.
He referred particularly to the. opportu-
mites offered by the dozen technical and
other schools in this city, and said there
was not "a dozen colored pupils in all of
them. He urged the colored people to look
beyond the mere political accom- plishments
and seek: the education of the colored youth
and the amalgamation of commercial in
terests.
Eugene Jackson offered a resolution on
the subject of laws affecting the colored
people which was adopted.
Mrs. Grosson asked if ladies might sign
the roll and being informed in the affima-
tive wrote her name with many others.
E. A. Clark and others spoke to the sub
ject introduced by the chairman and the
meeting adjourned till next Friday night
at the same place.

WILLIAM WALLACE. DEAD.
While Sexton of Mission Dolores He
Buried Cora and Casey-Opened
Calvary Cemetery.

William Wallace, whose name was asso-
ciated with the earlier history of San Fran
cisco, died at his home, 1909 Lyon street,
Thursday. His death came after a linger-
ing illness of many years, through which
he suffered from Bright's disease. until he
sank into Inconsistencies and passed
away at the ripe age of IS years.
Mr.. Wallace was well known in San
Francisco in the sos and SOS, when he
took an active part in local affairs, and
particularly among the lay societies of the
Mission Dolores Church. He arrived in
this City in 1855 and soon afterward was APP
pointed sexton of Mission Dolores church
and cemetery. While performing the
duties of this position he buried Cora and
Casey, who were hanged by the Vigilantes,
and later assisted at the removal of Cora s
body to Laurel Hill Cemetery.
In the same year he joined the volunteer
tiremen's organization, and for many a
day ran with Young America Is of the
tiremen, now known as the Exempts. In
August, 1860 he left the Mission Dolores
to open Calvary Cemetery. Lone Mountain
then was away out toward the ocean, be-
yond long, dreary stretches of sandhills
and scattering brushwood, so far apart
from the bustling City 1t was looked upon
as place to be separated for all time, even
from the uttermost suburbs. There was
trail out Hayes Valley that meandered
through the hills, long since leveled, and
among the patches and underbrush. But
there was difficult way to Lone Noun
tain for carriages, although it was soon
abandoned for new road along Eddy
street or whereabouts to Baker or Lyon
street and thence to the new burial ground.
Mr. Wallace built his home there, and
from that day did not move until eleven
years ago, when, overcome with sickness,
he retired to 1909 Lyon street, where he
died. Thirty-five years of his life were
spent at Lone Mountain, fact to which
no other man can lay claim.
The deceased was a member of ST.
Joseph's Benevolent Society of st.
Dominic's Church. He left widow and
one SON, William j. Wallace, and was re-
spected by all who came in contact with
him. His funeral will take place this
morning from his late residence to st.
Dominic's Church, where a solemn re-
QUEEN mass will be celebrated for the re-
pose of his soul. Interment will be in
Holy Cross Cemetery.

STATESMEN ARE DELAYED.
Democrats Western Tour OF Rehabi-
litation Postponed Till Next
Winter.

A letter from Postmaster-General Will
liam L. Wilson to Franklin K. Lane of
this City, which was received by Mr.. Lane
yesterday, states that the National So
ciety of Democratic Clubs has decided to
postpone the tour of the West, which had
been arranged for a party of prominent
Democratic party leaders, the object of
which was to endeavor to reunite the sew
eral lines of the party in the West gener-
ally and on the Pacific Coast in particular
preparatory to making hard fight in the
next campaign.
The postponement is necessitated by the
fact that: Speaker Crisp is abroad, and
Senator Morgan and others who are to
compose the party cannot arrange their
affairs to enable them to make the trip in
September the time set.
The letter further states that the tour
will be undertaken probably during the
winter months and that strong effort
will be made to settle satisfactorily all the
differences that exist among Western
Democrats over the silver question and
other matters pertaining to the Cleveland
administration that have been and are
incompatible with the Western idea of
Democracy. California will be one of the
States which will receive particular atten-
ton from the journeying statesmen. ].

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. 16.-A

chopper lost his life. Bulberri Luigi, a
young Italian, % years of age, who has

and Luigi got out of the way.
The tree fell up hill'' but afterward
took sudden and swift shoot downward,
striking the unfortunate Italian, pinning
him to the mountain side and tearing his
leg almost off just below the left knee.
Constable Joe Harveston was near at
hand and assisted the comrades of Luigi
in making tourniquet to check the flow
of blood from the leg. stretcher was
improvfsed from Redwood slabs and TO ur
men took him to the car for Aptos, hen ce
he was brought by train to Santa Cruz and
taken to the Garibaldi House. He died
this afternoon.

FRESNO GROWERS JUBLLANr.

The Crop of One Large Vineyard Sold

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 16.-Raisin- grow
ers are iubilant. To-day the crop of one
of the large vineyards was sold to local
firm at 21l cents a pound. This is an in
crease of half a cent on previous offers.
This price will leave small margin for
growers, but there seems to be no general
disposition to sell.
1t is believed that if growers will hold
their crops and sell for cash only, the COM
mission system of disposing of raisins can
be downed. Growers have finally got
enough of commission business, so that
there is general determination to sell for
cash. Since a number of the commission
men are beginning to buy for cash it is
thought that all firms will come into line.
or they will not get enough raisins to fill
their orders.
Several new firms have come to this city
this year, and it is believed that compe-
tition will cause fair prices. If the grower
can get an average price of 81 cents he
will get fair return for his capital and
labor
