imagery and historic significance, is that
designed as campaign literature at Wash
ington, ID. c., to aid in the work OF secur-
ing the Christian Endeavor G onvention of
1897 for San Francisco.
1t is entirely the work of local talent
and enterprise, not the least remarkable
feature OF its production being the fact
that it was first thought of a week ago.
Within this brief time the design was con-
cejved, the dra wings made, the plates
etched, the printing, which comprised
three-color runs through the press, was
completed, and while the ink was still wet
the 5000 copies were carefully packed and
shipped.
This expedition was necessary in order
TO have them arrive in time to be properly
distributed. They were shipped yesterday
evening and the session OF the Christian
Endeavor Convention will open at Wash
ington on the Sth instant.
With these were also shipped $4,000
handsomely printed pamphlets of thirty
two pages each, containing interesting in
formation relative 10 the attractions of the
Golden State.
The folders, pamphlets and about thirty
five cases OF other literature depicting
California's manifold charms were the
contributions of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to the local Christian Endeavor COM
mittee which has in charge the work of
securing the 1897 convention for this City.
Three tents, with an aggregate seating
capacity of $4,000 people, will be occupied
by the convention delegates and these ele-
CANT posters will be hung in the tents, in
hotels, churches and places where dele
gates are apt to gather.
The $1,000 pamphlets will be distributed
to the delegates when they are handed the
official programme, so that no field viii be
left uncultivatcd that may contribute to
victory for San Francisco.
In the poster is shown the first sys-
tematic Christian Endeavor on the Pacific
Coast. viz: the Carm ell Mission, then Cal
ifornia is represented by bear, the Cali
fornia poppy in its natural hue, and the
setting sun. The coloring is bold end
brilliant, and is mbin alton of but three
hues, red, blue and yellow.

present no other State in the Union has
received an award for its building. The
official records of several of the most i'm.
portant States, such as New York, Massa-
chusetts and others, are at hand, and not
one of them has medal or diploma to its

compliment to California, as there was
considerable rivalry among the States in
the effort to make each building original
and attractive.
Illinois expended on her building nearly
$500. 600; Pennsylvania, $3.50 900; and New

AGAINST PROFANITY.
An officer Reprimunded for Swearing
at u subordinate.

Acting Secretary McAdoo has written
sharp letter to Lieut. Commander Charles
O. AlIibone executive officer of the cruiser
Columbia reminding him that swearing at
or other harsh treatment of enlisted men
by their superior officers is contrary to the
r. gu1ations and will not be tolerated by
the department. The officers conduct was
ment several weeks ago in considering the
resignation of Acting Boatswain Dwyer. a
warrant officer on duty Ola the Columbia
at the time In explanation Of his reSigna-
tion. Dwyer, who had an unusually good
record said he had found service on the
ship uncomfortable because of the abuse and
!ll-treatrlent he had received at the hands
of the executive officer On CHE occasion.
he said, Commander Allibone in rsbuking
i'm had used profane and harsh language.
A copy of the letter was sent to the execu-
tive officer, and in reply he admitted that
re had had some words with DWEer, but
dt MED the use of prO1ane language. His
statement was not considered entirely sat
isfactory ard the acting secretary took him
to task for his conduct in the affair on the
general assumption that he had not shown
proper consideration to his subordinate.
According to Mr.. McAdOo, if Dwyer hal
rot properly executed his orders. it was
the officers duty to have kindly shown him
his mistake and to have encouraged him to
do better. If there had been an infract.on
of the regulations which called for punish
ment Of any kind. then. according to the
acting secretary, the warrant officer should
have been brought to account through the
Ii gitin ate means provided by the regula-
tiOnS.

Houaea In Aneys.

Based upon an opinion from the attorney
for the District the Commissioners have
made an Important ruling regarding the
erection Of houses in alleys. The law
provides that no house shall be erected in
alleys less than 80 feet wide.
The case which called forth the ruling
was one in which an owner Of several
frame houses sought a permit to erect in
their place aS many brick houses. the
frame houses having been camaged by
fire. The alley in which the houses are
located is less than the minimum width
established by. law. When the applica-
ton was made to the building inspector Tor
permit the matter was referred to the at
torney for the District for his opinion. He
holds that the law does not affect the case.
The object Of Congress was to prevent the
further building up Of alleys less than
thirty feet wide The case under consid-
Grafton was one Of substitution. and there
fore did not come within the meaning OF
the law. The Commissioners promptly ap-
proved the opinion and the permit was is
sued.

DEMOCRATIC HAND BOOK
Represensative McMillin Has Finished His
Labors in Its Preparation.
MIR. JOsephus Daniels Says North
Carolina VIII Go for Bryan-VieVs
ms to Other States.

Representative McMillin, at democratic
headquarters, has finished his labors in the
preparation of the democratic hand book,
which Is now on the presses. and will leave
tonight for Tennessee to make some
speeches in that state. He will be absent
about week. He will make few speech
es i'll his own district, and the remainder
in other parts Of the state.
The ciyb managers received notice this
morning of the organization of a Bryan
and Sewall club at Packersvlle, Conn, a
small town with a few Inhabitants. There
are twenty-five names on the roll, and six
teen of that number are republicans. The
president, vice president and treasurer are
republicans. Assistant Secretary Mexican
regards this as a pointer to the sentiment
in Connecticut He believes that Connecti-
cut is full of silverism. Senator Stewart
says the state will go for Bryan II the
laboring men are not ooerced into voting
the republican ticket.
What MIR. Daniels Says.
Josephus Daniels, who has been with
Candidate Bryan since his visit to North
Carolina says about that state: Amy
claim by whomsoever made, that the cleo
toral vote of North Carolina can be taken
away from Mr.. Bryan, by any number of
combinations or any amount of money, is
perfectly absurd. Mr.. Bryan will carry the
state by a larger majority than that given
for any candidate in many years. North
Carolina was all right for Bryan before
his visit but since he came among us the
enthusiasm and zeal has become SO great
that nothing like it was ever known before
He won the hearts of democrats and popu-
lists, and many republicans will vote for
him also.
LAS for Virginia" continued Mr. Daniels
nothing less than 10000 majority was
talked of at Richmond and throughout the
state.
While in Baltimore and on his way there
from Washington MIR. Daniels talked with
the democratic leaders from all parts CT
Maryland and said that from their reports
lac thought Maryland would also be in line
TO-. Bryan. Barnes Compton spoke for the
fifth congre ssional district. with which ne
is familiar saying that the counties are
all on fire for Bryan and things looked
well in the city of Baltimore. Joshua Miles
spoke for the eastern shore, Blair Lee ant
ex-RepTesentative McKaig for the sixth
congressional district, and eX-ReprcSenta
tive Fred Talbot for Baltimore CO la!y.
In relation to Delaware. said Mr. Dan
iels, the advices are that the disaifectet
democrats are few in number and the silNel
republicans many and increasing daily.
Mr. Daniels will accompany Mr.. Bryan OF
his trip TO New England and the return triI
at least as far as this city. He has n'
doubt of Mr.. Bryan's election.
