director and conductor of the International
G. e. convention. The sessions will be
held in San Francisco from July to Is.
There were several names placed before
the committee, but Mr.. Benham was the
unanimous choice. His work will be to
train and get togethe choir of not less
than 1000 voices, which Will be selected
from ell around the bay. He will also be
required to lead the singing of-the vast
audiences that will sometimes number
more than 200 voices.
Although next July seems a long way
off Mr.. Benham will have to get to work
a once as the task is an immense one.
No such choir as he is commissioned to
organize and train has ever been seen on
this side of Chicago and it will be drafted
from every church where there is Chris
tian Endeayor society. As it will be inn
possible to hold many general rehearsals
with such an immense mum Der of choris-
ters, the music will have to be selected at
once and supplied to every society for
practice, and Mr.. Benham will have 10 APP
point a large corps of assistants to aid
him, so that when all come together there
will be perfect harmony.
Mr.. Benham is one of the best-known
men engaged in church work in Califor-
mia. For the past seventeen years he has
been director of the large chorus choir of
the First Congregational Church. For
nineteen years previous to his coming to
this city he was choir-leader in the East,
and was director of the Minneapolis Musi-
cal Union. For many years he has done
no outside work, and many choristers and
choir-leade in the East will be surprised
to hear that the veteran director is still in
business and will meet them next July.

When her request was repeatedly denied,
she threatened to take her own life and
that of her child if she could find him.
The scene was the sequel to a case
heard before Judge Greene regarding the
disposition of a little boy. who was known
as "Lord Fauntleroy," and who, with his
handsome mother, is a very familiar
figure on the streets of this city. Mrs.
Prescott, secretary of the society; Attor-
ney Bradley, a middIe-aged woman, Miss
Dora Orth, the mother of the boy and
curly-h eaded Fauntleroy appeared before
the Judge, and there was an exciting ses-
sion OF court that lasted but few mo-
ments. When the evidence was heard,
Judge Greene granted the society letters
of guardianship over the child against the
angry protestations of his mother.
1t was clearly shown that the mother
was not lit person to have charge OF her
little boy. Her surroundings are not of
the kind that should be around a mere
child, and her friends were not such as
would tend to elevate his character. On
many occasions, at public places of amuse-
ment, the boy would attract attention,
which was only too gratifying to his
mother. Even the mother did not ap-
prove altogether of the child living with
her, and for some time 1t has been boarded

Phillips the Last OF November.
OAKLAND, CAL, Oct 1L-The engage
| ment of John w. Phillips. the senior
| member of the firm of Grayson, Owens
& Co., Wholesale butchers, to Mrs. Henry
Martin, who came into prominence two
years ago through the famous Martin will
| case, was made public in this city to-day.
The wedding will take place in New York
City the latter part of November on Mrs.
Martins return from Europe, where it is
said she is now purchasing trousseau IN
Paris. After a wedding trip they will
come to this city and reside in East Oak
land.
During the long days of the will contest
Mr.. Phillips, who was Mr.. Martins me-
long friend, did all in his power to distract
her attention from business cares and an
| noyances. and SO well did he succeed that
it was not many months after she had won
her case that he won another and she con-
sented to be his vile. The secret leaked
out and to-day he confessed to the truth OF
the report. For five years past he has
| been widower and his married daughter
has presided over the home. Mrs. Martin
left for Europe in July and will return

Phillips will meet her.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 17.-Health Off
Ger Bradley and Drs. Larkey, Small and
Shuey of the Board of Health and Sanitary
Inspectors Smith and Otu and DR.. Bucket
made tour of Chinatown last evening
and visited den after den. Very few OF
the places were without opium joints, and
several times the party ran on smokers.
In a room, 8x20 feet, they found nine men
living, and beds for three more at night.
MANY of the rooms are without ventlla-
ton, and the stencil is so strong that a
white person cannot remain IN the build
ing long.
The matter will be taken up by the
Board of Health, and it is likely that a
crusade against the nuisance, similar to
that being carried on in San Francisco,
may be inaugurated. The houses are
owned mostly by capitalists OF this city.

There are two tramps in East Oakland
whose wits entitle them to far better oc-
cupation. A few days aso they wandered
along the county road from Haywards and
when they struck Twenty-third avenue
they were thirsty, even for tramps. The
water of the creek is muddy at this time of
the year and did not appear particularly
inviting to thirsty tramp on hot day
and they waded in it for some minutes and
after replacing their remnants OF shoes
they proceeded on their journey around
the earth.
In back yard they found a demiiohn,
which they took along with them. On a
recent occasion circumstances were such
that they came into possession of large
bathing sponge, and this they carried with

good use.
They went into saloon and handing
the demijohn over the counter, asked the
proprietor to fill it with good whisky.
rendered a dollar in return. He at
once refused it as it was de-
based. The tramps had no more money
and there being no alternative the saloon
man emptied the whisky back into the
cask and the tramps left with their demi-
| john.
A few minutes later the same tramp
| went into q vacant lot and carefully broke
the demijohn. From the pieces they deli
cately lifted out their bath sponge, which
was thoroughly soaked with whisky. At
| ter squeezing it into an old toma can
and quarreling over the relative sizes of
alternate swallows the tramps marched
on wiser, but not quite so steady.

TR|yITY'5 new WINDOW
It Has Been Placed in Position
by the Contract
orS.
Several Member OF the Congregation
Have Donated Beautiful Win.
dows to the Church.

The interior of Trinity Episcopal Church
will shortly present highly artistic ap-
pearance, judging from the effect pro.
duced by the handsome stained glass
window placed in the central lancet of the
south transept during the past week.
The window is the gift OF Sampson L.
Tams, in memory OF his wife, Carolina
Larkin Tams, who died December 20, 1891.
Elated over the success OF this window,
other mem bers of the congregation of
Trinity church have donated beautiful
windows which shall be in harmony with
the one Just erected. One of the new win
dows when completed will occupy the
central lancet in the west wall.
The subject selected is taken from the
text, Behold l stand at the door and
knock"
1t represents Christ robed in travellers
gown of rich hue, with staff finland,
knocking at the door, and is designed by
Thomas G. Butterworth after celebrated
painting. The figure is given prominence
and brought well TO the foreground. 1t is
very cleverly outlined against back
ground of trees and expanse of blue sky,
while beneath is shown bslustrade COM
posing part OF the architecture of the pic
ture proper.
The NAN portion of the window is sur
rounded by framework of Gothic archi-
lecture, through the inches OF which is
occasionally obtained glimpse of the
foliage and Architectural construction of
the main picture. The coiored canopy of
white and yellow is displayed on a back
ground OF the richest ruby below and con-
nected on either side by ornamental
Gothic pillars.
Entwined in the base are two orna-
mental ribbons, upon which appear the
name of the donor of this generous gilt,
Mrs. Henrietta S. Calef.
The size of the window is 5x1S feet. Sew
eral months will be occupied in its COM
pletion.
Two members of the congregation,
George A. Pope and Walter E. Dean, have
signified their intention of donating two
windows for the chancel their orders will
be executed in Bavaria.
The conservation of the window donated
by Mr.. Tams will not take place until the
arrival OF Bishop Nichols.
