T.M.C.A. EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
The Inaugural Exercises Held Last
Evening.
Addresses by Prominent Citizens
Benefits Expected to Result From
the Movement.

The opening exercises of the Educa-
tional Department Of the Young Mems
Christian Association took place last
night. There were present about one
hundred young men, who were all
deeply interested in the opening of the
classes, the aims of which are to fit
them for better service and larger sal
aries
Mrs. Alfred Brown rendered selec-
ton on the piano, and Sparrow Smith
followed with a spirited address. He
spoke of the great advantage of young
men who are employed during the day
of such practical classes as are contem-
plated by the association. For practl-
cal value he would select the young
man who diligently plods along, earn
estly seeking to improve himself, rather
than the brilliant youth who could do
things without trying. In conclusion,
he spoke of the pleasure with which the
Trustees of the California Museum AS
sociation had entered into the plan
with the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation.
G. O. Hayford spoke of the necessity
for the young man of to-day having
| the -honored quality of 'stick-to-
| it-iveness." He spoke of the three
| fold work of the association, and empha-
sized the fact that the all-round young
man must have an honest soul and a
strong mind in strong body
F. NJ. Chadbourn sang a solo, after
which the Secretary read letters from
Superintendent H. j. Small and j. A.
Woodson, regretting their inability to
be present Mr. Woodson, as President
of the California Museum Association,
in his letter welcomed the classes to the
Art Institute and spoke very highly of
the work of Professor Jackson as the
instructor in free-hand drawing.
The instructors in turn outlined
briefly the course of study under their
respective charges-ErneSt Hohen for
the mechanical drawing class, Signor
Tomaso for the vocal music, Julian ii.
Arnold for the classes in mathematics
and Arthur Hough for the classes in
electricity and chemistry. The course
in electricity is to comprise twenty-four
lessons, twelve in the elementary course
and twelve in the advanced course.
Chemistry is recommended as an ac-
companying study with electricity, for
both will lead to the study of electro
chemistry.
The association deserves to be con-
graduated on the splendid corps or IN
structors and the practical course or
study outlined in the prospectus. Young
men should seize this opportunity for
obtaining an education under such fa-
vorable circumstances and at such rea-
sonable terms.
The association has now inaugurated
a movement along the educational line
which it hopes to enlarge from time 10
time 1t hopes also TO place 1T upon
such a permanent basis that young
men who have successfully followed
any course of study under its direction
for two or three years may receive a
certificate of graduation from the In
ternational Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association of Amer

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-In answer to
a call issued December I'd, signed by

to act on the committees to further the
idea. That was Mr.. Gerry. He gave no
reason. 1t was presumably on account
of recent death in his family. Many
of the letters spoke enthusiastically
of the project, and patriotic sentiment
was contained in every one of them.
Colonel Garnett then put in nominal
ton for Permanent Chairman the
originator and champion of the idea,
Charles A. Dana.
He was unanimously elected, and
thanked the meeting for the honor. He
said: Il thank you most heartily for
the honor you confer upon me. | am
too glad to serve, and do what l can for
the delightful and admirable undertake

point an Associate Chairman who can
act for me when 1 am called to other

A Feat in Photography.

Photography has had many triumphs.
One of the latest is associated with the
name of Professor Macy, famous for
his feats in instantaneous work. He
has just succeeded in photographing a
dragon-fly on the wing-an operation
which necessitated an exposure of only
one twenty five -thousandth of a second.
The Photographic part of the perform
ance is wonderful enough, and surely
some credit should be awarded to the
man capable of accurately dividing a
second into twenty-five thousand parts.
Certainly a man who can compute the
twenty -thousandth part of a sec
ond can compute anything.-Photo-

The Southern Pacific Force of Work
men to be Reduced To-day.

men to be Reduced To-day.
Orders were received yesterday
from the Southern Pacific headquarters
to reduce the working force of all the
departments in the company's shops,
to go into effect after to-day. 1t is
said the orders will affect perhaps four
or five hundred men.
The reason assigned for the order, as
understood by the local officials of the
company, is that the various depart
ments are either up with or ahead of
their work, and that the present force
is much greater than the necessities of
the company require. The rolling stock
is all in good condition, there is no
railroad construction going on and win
ter freighting is always light.
The present prospect is that any in
crease in the force of workmen will
hardly take place inside of three
months. The number of men employed
the past year has been greater than
usual, and with no heavy or unusual
orders for work coming in, the officials
say the reduction is necessary.

OTTAWA (Ont), Dec. 5.-The ottawa
correspondent of the World Govern
ment organ) says:
President Cleveland's observations
on Behring Sea control show clearly
that he has been loaded up the wrong
way. He complains about British ves-
sells not cooperating in making the
patrol effective. If the English men-of-
war did not do their duty, United States
cruisers overdid theirs. TWenty-eight
Canadian vessels operated in Behring
Sea during the past season, every one
of which was visited by American
cruisers from one to six times. OF the
United States sealing vessels, fifteen
in number, it turns out that only two
were properly equipped with licenses
and flags, showing that the United
States cruisers failed to watch their
own vessels. Three seizures of Cana
dian vessels were made, none of which
was justified by the courts"
