INJURED BY THE RAINS.
The Recent Showers Have Greatly
Damaged the Cotton Crop.

From every part of the state discourasins
reports of the cotton crop have been receiN-
ed at the weather bureau.
This is due to the heavy rainfall of the
last few days. The crop has suffered very
much from shedding, and il this continues
the size of the crop will be considerably
reduced. The following is the official report
for the week;
The incessant rains of the past week
have seriously injured cotton by causing
rank growth ana shedding The crop has
never been in condition better than what
might be termed hopeful since the season
opened; but 1t is "A peculiar plant, and as
long as it is not attacked with lice. rust.

and return a heavy yield, regardless Of its
appearance and size during the first and
middle periods of its growth and cultivation.

DESTROYS of getting a breed of cattle that

would be glad indeed to have you express
an opinion through your paper as 10 the
best breed TO purchase.
1t is getting to be the consensus OF
opinion that there is no such breed as a
general purpose breed of cattle. Yet the
desire for a breed that will answer reason
ably well any demand made upon it or
upon individual members of it, is naural
We are inclined to believe that the choice
would be between the short horn and the
Devon. both English breeds originally, but
long bred in This country. The short-horn
cow is the better mixer and the short
horn steer the heavier beef: but the Devon
makes a much better work animal and
gives very good individual mixers. We
think the short-horn is most generally
adopted as a general purpose" breed.

Painters About to Organize Again and a
Mass-Meeting to Be Held for
That Purpose.

The lourneymen painters are about to
organize again. Since local brotherhoods
Nos. 40. 256 and 175 of the Painters and
Decorators of America disbanded wages
have greatly fallen off, and few score of
the men who were formerly in the order
have recently come together and decided
to call meeting for the purpose of start
ing another organization.
With this end in view an informal meet
ing is to be held tonight at the Turk-street
Temple and then call for mass-meeting
will be formulated. James w. Rose, who
has for some time been engaged in bring
ing about the new organization, said last
night that it is proposed now to organize
upon progressive lines and with none of
the restrictions which frequently hamper
labor unions.
At the carpenters mass-meeting held
this week In the Turk-street Temple, pur-
suant to the call of the district council OF
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
OF America, reports of increase of mem ber-
ship were received from local brotherhoods
Nos. %, 483 and 304, and also from branch
Gil of the Amalgamated Society of Carpen-
tiers and Jolners, showing that there are
now 1000 union carpenters in this City. A
working card, as predicted by THE CALL,
was adopted, and fifteen days limit was
allowed for all non-union carpenters to
come in and get cards. After that time
union carpenters will refuse to work on the
same jobs with non-union men

THEIR FLOATING WORK,
The Golden Gate Christian
EndeaVor Union Talks
of Sailors.
Two Well-Attended Meetings Held
at the Mariners
Church.

The Mariners Church, at the corner of
Drumm and Sacramento streets, was
crowded yesterday afternoon and evening
by enthusiastic members of the Golden
Gate Christian Endeavor Union.
The occasion was the thirty fifth quar-
terly convention. The building had been
prettily decorated with flowers and bunt-
ing, and in honor of the convention taking
place in the Mariners Church especial
prominence was gwen to the floating
work, which forms one of the standing
committees of the Christian societies.
There are fifty societies in the Golden
Gate convention, and forty niue of them
were represented yesterday.
In the afternoon there was junior con-
vention, led by Vera Pedlar, at which ad-
dresses were made by Rev. Donald M.
Ross and DR.. g. Daniels. H. l.. Black
well, who presided over the senior conven-
ton, called the meeting to order promptly
at P. NJ. After a service OF praise and
prayer the reports of the secretary, Miss
Minnie e. Silsby, and the treasurer, r. J.
Paterson, were read and adopted.
An interesting address was made by
George W. Hams of the United States
steamer Thetis, who looked exceed
ingly picturesque in his man-of-wars-
mans uniform, garb which is par
ticularly suited to the rostrum of the
Mariners Church, seeing that it resembles
in every detail the stern of ship. ~ do
not mean," said George w. Ha1nes, "to
submit report of what we have done in
the navy. Our work is young, and for
what has been accomplished we have prin-
cipally to thank those on shore. Our navy
is a public institution, and we see no rea-
son why, in Christian society, each ship
should not be floating Bethelo The
speaker concluded by saying that what
had been accomplished on the Thetis was
a fair sample OF the work and by the state
ment, "It is safe to say that our new flag
ship will be able to lead the squadron"
Rev. F. Flawith, pastor of the Fourth
Congregational Church, gave a few
thoughts about the sailor, his pitfalls and
what the Christian Endeavorer can do for
him. at is all very well to give the sailor
little coffee and cake occasionally to keep
him from the saloon; the saloon-keeper is
not the sailors worst enemy. What we
need is to protect him from the landshark
and provide a good sailors boarding
house." NJ. &. Turner of San Diego, the
State superintendent of floating work
made an address urging the Golden Gate
Union to make the most of its opportuni-
ties to help the sailor.
He declared that the time to visit ship
was before she was docked, and announced
his intention of boarding two newly ar
rived ships tonight, to hold services. A
number of ladies and gentlemen in the
audience volunteered their services, and
rendezvous was given at the Mariners
Church.
j. f. Mason's report for the credential
committee was read and adopted, and the
convention closed with q conservation
service, led by Rev. W. w. Case.
