Christian Temperance Union for the pul-
pose of considering and passing resolu-
tions on the recent work of the Civic
Federation. which pertained to the men,
acing influences surrounding the young
girls of to-day. was held this afternoon at
the Trinity Methodist Church. The lead
ing speakers of the afternoon were: Mrs.
s. c. Sanford of the Oakland Humane
Society, Mrs. DR.. Kellogg-Lane, Mrs.
Smith president of the Berkeley w. G..
T. ~ and Mrs. Tracey of the Salvation
Army. Mrs. Haight, member of the
Baptist church of Berkeley and an active
worker in the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, presided.
She first introduced Mrs. Sanford, who
said: "a great wrong is confronting us,
dertake to correct it. Revolution is the
Christians business, and it is treason to
cry peace when there is no peace" She
spoke of the condition of social affairs in
the ancient and medieval periods of his
tory, and, coming down to the time when
she was child, she said:
In my days of childhood little girls would go
where they pleased-to the woods, to the swift
running brooks, to the fields, through the
towns-without being molested; but to-day
they hardly dare to cross the street with out
being brought within the ban OF insult.
There was no danger then, because we were
at that time citizens of free country and not
bound down by the dominance of political job
berry, the corruption in governmental affairs
and the gold-seeking. monopolies. A vast
change in our independence has been recorded
and with it there has come moral and social
corruption of an immeasurable extent. Our
American cities are the worst in the world in
so far as vice and evil are concerned. We are
gradually awakening 10 the condition of the
slums in our great cities and what they are
doing to undermine the characters of our ris-
ing generation.
These recent developments which have been
made in San Francisco are enough within
themselves to teach US that individual ana
concerted action on the part of the Christian
community should be brought to bear against
them. 1t is all through corruption in politics
and the dominance of the rich over the poor
that these troublesome times have come upon
us. 1t is not enough for us only to pass reso-
lutions concerning these things, but to act, and
act at once.
Mrs. DR.. Kellogg-Lane was then intro
duced. She said:
The crimes which have been unearthed
during the last two weeks are certainly enough
to wiring the hearts of every follower of God.
We may come together and denounce these

Mr.. Rice's new church is very desira-
BILE field, and, although no reason was
given for his resignation. it is generally
understood that the First and Second Pres
byterian churches left such a small Glen
tele for the Union-street Church that Rev.
Mr. Rice wished larger field. During
his quarter of century OF ministry Mr..
Rice has held but three pastorates.
The Pastors Aid Society and the board
of trustees passed resolutions asking Mr..
Rice to remain and at q meeting of the
congregation he was asked to withdraw
his resignation until the close of the church
year next April. Notwithstanding all this,
Mr.. Rice handed in his resignation Sec

OF other matters connected with that body. All
new laws go into effect January l, 1896. A
fine musical and literary programme, fur
nlshed by Washington Council No. 4SO, in
whose hall the meeting was held, interspersing
the exercises, was a prominent feature. The
meeting was very instructive and all seemed
deeply interested, several interrogatories and
answers being had at the close.

TRUTH ABOUT THE WEST.
Captain Jack Crawford Says the Casters
People Will Not Believe 1t.

Captain Jack Crawford Says the Eastera
People Will Not Believe 1t.
Captain Jack Crawford, the poet-scout,
addressed the afternoon meeting in the
lecture-room of the Y. M. G. A. building
yesterday. He prefaced his remarks with
one or two original poems, which his ex-
cellent delivery made singularly effective.
He announced that he recited his own
productions exclusively, partly to avoid
having irate authors on his trail, and partly
because no one else recited his poems, and
he was "bound to get his work in.'
81 am not one of those fellows" he said,
"wbo are constantly longing to kill
Indians. am very well satisfied when
there are no Indians about. 1t is these
CORY fellows who have ruined thousands of
boys. Especially is this. true OF Eastern
boys who long to emulate the achieve
ments of these daring heroes OF mum mberless
dime novels.
~ once heard one of those fellows talk to
an interviewer for two hours, and the only
time he told the truth was when the re-
porter asked him how old he was. The In
dian-kiIler replied, TO tell the truth, I
have told so many lies about my age, that
don't know how really old L am
"Yet, when l tell the Eastern people the
truth about this beautiful Western coun-
try of mine they refuse to believe It, They
are incredulous when I tell them that
everywhere in this country is law and civ
ilization, and they are indignant when
tell them that nowhere in the West, no
matter how rugged and uncouth may be
the region, is a woman as liable to insult
as in any OF their large cities"
A mum ber of anecdotes of how the gospel
was carried home to the rough frontiers
men were told, and the speaker concluded
with repetition of sermon delivered in
fashiona Bile church by a cowboy preacher.
The address was rich with metaphors of
the range, and was both poetic and pa
thetic. Captain Jack stated that he had
actually heard the address.
