Young Seamen.

VALLEJO, CAL, Aug. 16.-The Thetis
will come out of the dry dock at Mare
Island on Monday and the following day
the Pensacola will be taken into dock to be
examined. In case any of the copper on
the hull requires replacing it will be done.
The Pensacola is to be used as training
ship for boys. 1t will require little out

comfortable, 1t is just the kind of craft
to house the young men who are to be-
come seamen IN the American Navy.
Those being selected on board the receiv-

best class of boys.
Many present themselves, but few are
selected. As soon as the Pensacola is
placed in proper shape for reception OF the
boys it will be officered and taken to Goat
Island and anchored.
Word has been received for the con-
struction department to go ahead and

VICTORIA, B. O., Aug. 16.-Full de-
tails of the horrible death OF Merchant
Edward Kennah of Mt. Vernon, Wash,
while on pleasure and prospecting trip
in the Cooks Inlet country have been re-
ceived. They confirm the brief account
given in these dispatches of Kennah
slowly freezing to death while wedged in
glacier creyasse, his friends being un-
able to extricate him.
A party OF six men, Kennah among
them, left Six-mile Greek on July 2 to
ascend Twenty River. After rowing
twenty miles up Turnagain arm to the
mouth of the river they packed their
blankets and provisions on their backs
and travelled on foot. Vixen about fifteen
miles up the river they found their way
barred by steep and narrow gorge.
Leaving the canyon, they climbed the
mountain on one side, crossed a low divide
and struck tributary canyon which
emptied into the river above the gorge.
The upper end, however, was filled by
large glacier.
They started TO cross the glacier with
the guide about 400 yards in the lead.
The second man in line suddenly broke
through the snow crust and fell into
crevasse. His rifle, which he was carry
ing in one hand, caught on either edge of
the crevasse and he easily pulled himself
out The next man took Kennah's shovel
and laying it on the snow stepped across.
He handed the shovel to its owner and
went on his way.
He had gone about thirty feet when
there was a cry from the rear, "Man
down." Kennah was nowhere in sight.
Four men hurried to the crevasse and
looked down. The old man could not be
seen, but answered their calls. He said
he was not hurt. but that he was slipping
down further The men hastily tied three
pairs of blankets together for rope.
The guide who came back added piece
of clothes line making rope about sixty
feet long. They let this down with pick
on the end of it and told the old man to
place it between his feet. He said that he
could not move his arms. Evidently one
leg was loose, for the men above could
hear him moving the pick around.
boys, it is no use. am goner. 1
can do nothing to save myself. l will
have to die.'
The others cheered him to keep up his
courage. His partner, small man, tied
the improvised rope around his waist and
went down. He found that the crevasse
went straight down for twenty feet when
it branched off at an angle to width of
eighteen inches. He could get down only
thirty feet and Kennah was yet twenty
feet further down and out of sight.
The unfortunate man begged him not
to risk his life any further, and said: 81
can't talk any more, boys" In answer to
their question as to whether he was suf-
fering much pain, he said, family, "Y es."
That was the last word he uttered, and
his companions concluded that he had
frozen to death, and it was impossible to
do anything more for him. Reluctantly
they wended their way down the glacier.

SAN BERKARDLNO STORM.
Terrific Downpour of Rain, Accompanied BY
Heavy Wind Which Does Con-
siderable Damage.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. 49,
An unusual but not unprecedented atmos-
pneric condition obtained IN this region
to-day. The morning opened hot and
sultry, with light clouds hanging over the
mountain range. By noon the clouds
were of almost inky blackness and the
distant roar of thunder indicated that at
Squirrel Inn. the Little Bear Valley and
the Big Bear Valley the rain was falling
in torrents. An hour later the storm
clouds moved westward, and Mentone and
Redlands, at the head of the great valley,
were receiving a terrific downpour of
water.
The storm-ditches were overflowed, and
considerable damage was done to stores
and other pro perty in Redlands. 1t is re-
ported that many orchards were injured
by the rush of waters. In the highlands
trees were blown down and considerable
damage done to the growing orange crops.
In this city the rain fell for two hours
and wrought radical change in the tenn
perature. There was very little wind
here and no damage was done.
Not since August, 1891, has there been a
storm in midsummer that in extent and
severity approached to-day's visitation.
Undoubtedly the streams leading into the
Bear Valley reservoir, and all the streams
from which this valley draws water for
irrigation, have been vastly replenished.

Declare War On the

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 16.
The Los Angeles County Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union has declared war
on the bloomer AT its regular meeting
in Temperance Hallyesterday the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted:
While we believe in the emancipation of
women from any and all customs which de-
prive her of her freedom, either physically or
mentally. yet we are not unmindful that to be
most perfect is to be most womanly. We most
heartily indorse the bicycle when moderately
and modestly used and believe it is a blessing
to women in general and working women in
particular, but we regret exceedingly that
many young women abuse the liberty which
this modern invention affords and thereby call
forth criticisms broad enough and indiscimi-
nate enough to wound the heart of every true
woman.
We regard some of the bicycle costumes to
be seen on our streets as unwomanly, inde-
cent and demoralizing in their effect. There
fore, as part of the great organization OF
Christian womanhood and motherhood. We,
the Central Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Los Angeles, raise our voice and
enter our protest against this, or any custom,
the tendency of whish is to debase rather
than elevate the human race.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 16.-An insti-
tuition that will be welcomed addition to
the city is the Roman baths which E. S.
Babcock proposes to establish as soon as
arrangements can be perfected.
They Will be somewhat after the style of
the Sutro public baths at the entrance to
San Francisco Bay and besides the faciIi-
ties for bathing, will have other con-
veniences, which will make them credit
to San Diego.
The features that have made the Coro-
nado baths so popular will be embodied
in the new baths. but the institution to be
erected on this side pf the bay will be on
a grand scale.
The building, according to the present
idea, will be two stories high, with a tower
running up from the most prominent cor
ner. The architecture will be modern.
Balconies will run around the interi or.
as well as portions of the exterior at the
second story, and there will be spaces to
be filled by potted plants. Light is to be
admitted through dome, which will con.
stitute the roof.

FAESNO WIDOWS PLANT
Mrs. Ellen Hilyard Sues Rancher
Bahwell for Breach of
Promise.
She Is Fair and Forty, and the De.
fendant Is Hoary With His
Sky Years.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Ellen Fl
Hilyard, by her attorney, George L. Hood,
yesterday filed a suit for $25, 600 against
Adam Bahwell of TuIare County for
breach of promise. The plaintiff is about
40 years old and widow, while the de-
fendant is about so and a widower Bah
well resides at Three Rivers, near Visaiia,
and is considered to be worth about $780,
600. The com plant recites the usual dam
ages which are experienced by plaintiffs
in breach of promise suits by the non-
fulfillment on the part of the defendants of
their promises.
Mrs. Hilyard claims that she has in her
possession large number of letters writ
ten to her by Mr.. Bahwell, in which he ex-
pressed his deep love for her ana stated
repeatedly that he would marry her. But
he afterward changed his mind, and Mrs.
Hilyard wants damages.

There is a box of carrier pigeons IN

carry messages to THE CALL before the en-
campment is over. At least two birds Will
be released each day, with messages to
friends and to Mr.. Filmer in the City.
TIE idea of their use by Captain FlImer Is
to establish the practicabll1ty OF utillzing

Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALI
32S South Broadway,

Los ANGELES, Cal., aug. lOf
Most of the delegates to the adjourned
meeting of the Sixth District convention
of the Democratic party, which will con-
yene here tomorrow, are in the city. All
manner of rumors have been flying about
the streets during the day. The Rose
contingent claims that Rose is sure
winner on the first ballot. Patton, how
ever, has his forces well in hand and is
sure of one additional vote owing to the
action of Delegate Irvine, who has re-
voked his proxy given to Chairman Mer-
rltt at the Ventura meeting.
The Popullst delegates from San Luis
Obispo are expected here tomorrow in
time TO attend the Democratic conven-
ton, and it is understood they will make
a strong plea in favor of the Endorsement
of their nominee, A. G. Barlow OF San
Luis Obispo.
This move of the Populists will meet
with small encouragement from Demo-
Gratis and will not be urged by the rank
and file of the Populist party here, which,
as friends of Dillon, are not at all pleased
with the manner in which that gentle
man was turned down at San Luis Obispo.
Patton's friends claim that in the event of
his nomination he will get the bulk of the
Populist vote of Los Angeles County. de-
spite the nomination of Barlow.
The triangular fight which is certain to
result will unquestionably result in the
reelection of Congressman McLachlan,
the Republican nominee.
