Francisco next July. Such was the news
which the delegates to the International
Christian Endeavor Convention held at
Washington. d. c., last month, brought
back to the Golden Gate Union of Chris
tan Endeayor.
The Endeavorers of San Francisco and
Oakland held one mass-meeting to cele-
brate the bringing OF the great convention
West OH August 6, in the Central NJ. E..
Church. and the enthusiasm which was
manifest there gave full evidence of the
intense interest which the Endeavorers
have in the coming convention.
AS all the delegates attending the Wash
ington convention have now returned,
arrangements have been made to hold q
still larger mas s-meeting to accommodate
the hundreds who were unable to attend
the previous one and to give the Endeavor-
ers chance to hear reports from the dele
gates who ha We since returned.
Great preparations are being made by
Lester B. Smith, the chairman of the
mass meeting. to have this the largest and
best meeting which the Endeavorers have
held.
The mass-meeting will be held at Ply
mouth Congregational Church tomorrow
evening at 7:45 o'clock and will be under
the auspices of the Young Peoples So
ciety OF Plymouth Church. One of the
special features of the evening will be q n
address on "San Francisco, 81 by ]. s.
Webster, vice-chairman of the conven-
ton committee of '97. Mr.. Webster will
tell what will have to be done in the way
of preparing for this convention and what
the convention will do for the City.

address on the Washington convention
under the title of washington Sparks. I"
Rolla Y. Watt, the chairman of the '97
convention committee, to whom much of
the credit is due for bringing the conven-
ton West. will tell briefly how the Wash
lngtop convention committee took care of
the vast mum bers who attended and how
San francisco won the convention. An
other report of the Washington conven-
ton will be given under the title of
washington Impressions. DR.. E. E.
Kelly, who will deliver the latter address
is an ex-presldent OF the California En-
deavor Union, and has doue much toward
raising the funds for the coming conyen-
ton.
The mass meeting will close with con-
secrat1on address by the Rev. w. d. Will
Hams, ID, pastor of Plymouth Congre-
gationsl Church.
The Christian Endeavorers bot h in Oak
land and San Francisco are fully alive TO
the work which is before them in the way
of preparing for the convention. The
Golden Gate Union OF Christian Endeayor
has pledged $4,000 of the $25. 900 guarantee
which was necessary in order to bring the
convention out here. Each society in the
union has been assessed it's share of the
$5000 and already many of the societies
have paid to Charles Whitney, the treas
urer of the union, large portions of their
pledges.
The Oakland Endeayorers have promised

grimage into the mystic rites created from
the Christian crusaders OF the time of
Constantine.
The red council chamber of Golden
Gate Asylum, on Suffer street, was bril-
liant with emblems, banners and trap
pings appropriate to the occasion, and
the officers and Knights were in full uni
form, adding spIendor to the beautiful
surroundings.
Golden Gate Commandery opened for the
transaction of business, after which Cali
fornia and Oakland commanderles ar
rived and were welcom ed with knlghtly
courtesy. When all were assembled Emf
nent Grand Commander Trobridge ID.
Ward, accompanied by his staff, number
ing about dozen officers in brilliant uni
forms, was received, and in the subsequent
proceedings occupied prominent posi-
tion. The beautiful and impressive work,
which was divided into three sections, was
then commenced, the first part being as
signed to Oakland Comfnandery under
Eminent Edward II. Morgan. California
Commandery took up the second part and
was in charge of Eminent r. c. Martin,
while Eminent G. FL. Murphy with Golden
Gate Commandery finished the work. 1t
was most unusual proceeding for three
bodies to thus work at one time, but the
results proved most favorable, as the mem
bers Of each commanuery carefully noted
the work of the others, and as all were
placed on their mettle the esprit de corps
that prevailed produced a character of
work seldom seen, the ritual being letter
perfect and the efforts of all contributing
to make the ceremonies throughout dis
tinguished for the superior manner in
which they were rendered.
When the feast was announced as being
ready the Red Knights marched with
military tread to the banquet hall, where,
with the courtesy that distinguishes every
true knight, the mem bers of the Golden
Gate Commaudery remained standing
until every guest had been comfortably
seated, and when this was done nearly
400 knights were gathered around the
tables. During the feast, which was as
dainty as Epicurus himself could have de-
sired. and which was accompanied by
generous libations of Roderer and other
vintages, addresses were made and toasts
offered and responded to in bright and
sparkling words. Eminent Commander
Murphy of Golden Gate welcomed. with
warm phrases and in a knightly manner
the guests from California and Oakland
communicates, to which Very Eminent
Reuben Fl. Lloyd, deputy grand master
of the Grand Encampment of the United
States, responded, paying a high tribute
to Templar Masonry, its noble aims and
the great good it had accomplished by
exating the character of every true knight.
Sir George D. Metcalf, deputy grand COM
mander of California and Mayor Davie of
Oakland, Captain Martin Jones and others
followed with remarks, and it was long
after the hour OF midnight before the
banquet and toasting came to an end.

then said that if Bryan electors were NOM

who apparently were in the majority,
made no opposition to the nomination of

Suit for Divorce by Husband Whose
Wife Boasts of Her Wrongdoing.
Three months ago Oscar f. Bernard, a
conductor of the Mission-street electric
line, tried to kill S. A. Erwin, motor
man of the San Mateo Electric Railway.
He shot at Erwin as he sat in Mission
street restaurant, but failed to infict q
serious wound. Bernard claimed that his
intended victim had alienated the affec-
tons of his wife, who was employed as
typewriter by the Revere Rubber Com
panv. Yesterday Bernard filed suit for
divorce, alleging infdelity on the part or
Mae w. Bernard, and naming Erwin as
correspondent.
Behind the suit there Is tale OF shame
lessness that is not often evidenced by
even thoroughly depraved woman. After
the encounter between her husband and her
companion in crime, Mrs. Bernard refused
to live with the former, although he was
willing to forgive her indiscretions. She
left her home, lost her position, and has
since written to her husband ackno wledg-
ing her shame and advising him to get
divorce.
In her letter Mrs. Bernard not only
acknowledged having been unduly init
mate with Erwin. bnt told him of other
times and places at which she had dis
honored him, and gave him the names of
her companions.
Bernard has taken his wife's advice and
made application for divorce.
