ciety, and his opinion in these matters will
have great weight with the Christian En-
deavorers in the East
The Christian Endeavorers of this State
are fully aroused to the importance of
using every effort to bring the great con-
ventlon West. Last July the convention
was held in Boston and 1t was without dis
pnte the largest religious assembly ever
convened. Over Sc 600 delegates were pres
ent from all parts of the world. Not only
were Endeavorers present from India,
emma, Japan, Alaska. Australia and al
most every portion of the globe-not only
were all these present, but those represent
ing the largest bodies of Christian En-
oeavor came as accredited delegates-Rev.

tralla, Rev. w. K. Chaplin for the 2500 So
cletles of England and the Rev. John Pol
lock for the 200 societies Of Scotland.
While 1t is not expected, owing to the
location OF San Francisco, that such large
numbers as attended the Boston conven-
ton can be brought to this City, the Chris
uan Endeayorers feel sure that moderate
estimate of the Eastern delegates will at
least number 10000, in addition to which
will be the Pacific Coast delegates who will
number about IL, 600.

morning by Policemen Thompson and
Blackman. They were taken to the Seven
teenth- street station, and on being
searched a set of burglars tools was found
upon Albright. He was booked for hav-
ing burglars tools in his possession, and
Lee had a charge of vagrancy registered
against him.
They appeared in Judge Conlan's court
yesterday morning, and the Judge at once
recognized Lee as a man who had been
frequently before him on various charges,
and against whom charge of vagrancy
had been pending for some time. He had
released Lee on his own recogniZance, and
the case was on the calendar for to-
morrow.
Lee was one of the men arrested about
year ago for robbing and almost killing
BULL Harrington about that time on
Fulton street, near Baker. He was held
to answer before the Superior Court, but
managed to secure an acquittal.
The police are inclined to the belief that
Albright and Lee are the two men who
have recently been committing burglaries
IN the Mission, and Thompson and Black
man have been detailed to make an inves-
tigation

JORDAN ON AGASSIZ.
Two Hundred Japanese Addressed b,

StanfOrd's President.
At the Japanese Methodist Mission on
Pine street last night President David Starr
Jordan of Stanford University lectured
about Professor Agassiz, one OF the great
est scientists of this century and the first
man to declare that there had been time
when the earth was covered with frozen
crust.
DR.. Jordan said that Agassiz was a
Swiss by birth. He was educated at
the University of Munich, then. be-
cause of its noted teachers. the best uni
versity in the world. Later, Agassiz lived
in the Latin quarter of Paris-whe TrIby
was supposed to Iive-picturesoue to read
about, but, like the real Chinatown of San
Francisco, explained DIR. Jordan, squalid
enough when you see it.
Agassiz came to America in 1916 soon
after attaining distinction in Europe and
became professor of natural history at
Harvard University, sthen only little
college. He always spoke French with a
German acce mt, German with a French
accent and English with both a German
and French accent, but in spite of his
imperfect pronunciation DIR. Jordan SAID
he has never heard any man that had
such charming and ready flow of Ian
guage as Agass1z.
dc slept on a glacier for seventy con-
secutive nights to study its slow move
ments and had rheumatism in one shoul-
der the rest Of his life.
Joseph LIE Conte, pupil of Agassiz,
has been for many years the greatest scien-
tist OH this coast" remarked DR.. Jordan
In 1872 Agassiz Instituted scientific
summer school on the little island of
Penikeese, near Cape Cod, and Dr. Jordan
was the youngest of the fifty students
accepted from the 500 applicants.

The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors disposed of a large amount of
work at its meeting yesterday.
1t was decided 10 report in favor of the
acceptance of Fillmore street, from Thir-
teenth to Hermann, and the crossing of
Twenty-second and Tennessee streets.
The committee agreed to report favorably
on the following petitions:
Commercial Transfer Company, TO erect a
ports bic office at 43 Sutter street; Merchants
Association, to offer on April 23 suggestions
on specifications for rstreet-sweeping; Williams,
Belser & Co., for private contract to construct

pany for release from contract to pave
Beale street. from Foisom to Harrison and

The Street Superintendent was directed
to require the property owners on the west
line CT Twenty-fourth avenue. between A
and streets, to remove the sand that has
drifted upon the sidewalk and to construct
bulkheads.
The following proposed work was post
poned for six months:
Paving of Front, from Clay to Washington.
paving of Fifteenth, from Noe to Castro chang
ing of the grades and paving of Greenwich
alley.
The petition of James Mccoy for an ex-
tension OI Sl2Cy udyS ON MS contract to
grade Montgomery avenue was denied ::
also his petition for release from his con-
tract to grade Polk, from Greenwich to
bard.
The protest against the construction of a
sewer in Lyon and Chestnut street to Beach
was set for hearing on a pril 20.
The petition of the Mutual Telephone
Company for a telephone franchise was
again heard to-day, and owing to the alb
sence Of Chairman Spreckels action upon

Representatives OF the Folsom-s street
and South Side Improvement clubs ap-
peared before the committee and urged
that contracts be awarded for the paving
of Folsom street, between Sixth and Third,
in order to complete the South
Side boulevard system. They were told
that no money could be spared for this
work at present. They were told that
contracts had been awarded for the paving
of the street from Sixth to Nineteenth.

expenditure of $4,000. The committee
promised to award the other contracts
next July.

COMING THESPIANS.
Performance by Pupils of the Columbia
school.

School.
The students of the Columbia School of
Dramatic Art gave their sixth public per-
formance yesterday afternoon at the Co.
lum bia Theater 10 large audience, which
evidently enjoyed the good things pro-
vided. The students were all thoroughly
acquainted with their lines and showed
marked lmprovement in their acting.
Ihe fencing was quite above the ordi-
nary stage duel, although "attack' seems
to have been more studied than guard.
One young lady seemed particularly ear
nest in the cut-and-t thrust style, and more
OF the latter than the former.
The songs and trio from act of an origi-
nal opera by A. S. Rnorer speak well for
the original opera, if it be all equal TO the
samples given. A. S. Rhorer and Ira
Ladd sang and acted well. Miss Margaret
Coleman might have used her voice bet
ter. There were number of other musical
selections among which were Miss Nora
Molloy's song, Come to My Heart" and
Miss Donars reading, with song, "The
Singers Climax"
The scene from marie Stuart" was ex-
ce!lently acted by Miss Freda Gallick and
Miss NJ. Colby. Miss Gallick showed her
sell to be the possessor OF real dramatic
talent, and Miss Colby, with n less snowy
part, did equally we'll. Miss Minna Ferrie,
In The Window Curtain" was good, but
she would have been even better if she
had cultivated more repose. r. U. Traver
and Miss M. Capwel were both clever in
An Oak in a Storm; indeed the lady
showed remarkable ability, and was over
whelmed with flowers and applause.
James Keane. who gave a recitation,
showed that he has improved since the
last performances
''The Parents Tribulation," one-act
comedy, was we'll acted by G. Phillips and
the Misses S. Gray, c. Lathrop, Helen
Maurier.
In the Herald's prize play Hearts"
Miss Ellen Deane and Miss Henrick es-
pecially distinguished themselves.
The musical director deserves especial
credit for the pure and natural manner In
which most of his pupils sang.

The farmers convention idea is
one of the best that has been put
forth in this county. The conven-
ton means much to the people of the
county and is the stepping stone to a
better feeling among our farming
classes. There has been too much
politics mixed with the meetings of
the agricultural population. The
meeting Of the farmers in connection
with the school boards is indicative
Of new order of things. Let politics
be kept out Of the meetings and the
gathering made an annual event.

By cutting the salaries of the
county high school teachers the
board lost the services of Professor
Atwater, one of the best educators in
his line that the county ever had. Il
the school is to be kept up to a
standard that will be credit to the
county, pay enough salaries to CON-
mand the best educators. Either
that or shut up the school. The cost
is so little to each taxpayer that
the school is not compelled to econo-
mize in such manner as to impair
its efficiency. The chief kicker on
the board, George Livingston, who
has made fortune by the rise in
land,is saved a few dollars by the cut
wages. The railroads are saved over
a hundred dollars. There are two
sides to the salary question. Nobody
ever made anything by undue scrimp-
ing on educational matters.

pekaP The fight made on Judge
Hazen centered in the ruling Of his
that "spotter" evidence in whisky
cases is not to 60 in the court and he
was branded as a "whisky candi-
date" But he was nominated by an
overwhelming majority. A. B. Jet
more for county attorney was opposed
by man who prided himself on be-
ing prohibitionist and Jetmore was
also branded as a "whisky man. :"
The result shows that the other man
did not know that he was running.
