SUNDAY At Ell CAMPO.
Opening of the Pleasure Grounds
on the Shore of San
Pablo Bay.
There Was an Immense Crowd That
Sought Enjoyment in the Shady
Dells and VerGure.Clad Hills.

Yesterday was the opening day of Ell
Campo by the sea, and as the day was
bright, the atmosphere clear and bracing,
thousands visited the beautiful spot in
Marin County, which during the winter
months had been closed.
The big ferry boat Ukiah made four trips
during the day, and on all but the last
trip she was crowded with pleasure-seek-
ers. 1t was estimated that she carried over
on those three trips more than five thou
sand people. On the first boat there were
great many citizens with their families
who went over to enjoy the morning
breeze and early sunshine, and then to
lunch under the wide-spreading branches
of the many trees that abound there
There were many who climbed the hilltops
to obtain a view of the magnificent pano-
rama that is presented from these eleva-
rions. Others found pleasure in wandering
in the dells in search of the modest mai
den-hair fern that abounds there, or on
the plateaus, gathering the golden poppy,
the bluebells, the marguerite and other
charming flowers that were there as q
spring offering to the visitors.
The pleasure ground at this time is at
its best, and the fragrance of the blossoms
is a welcome change from that of the City.
bluIn Dduu IuTllisHcu uslC III the Dig
pavilion for those who wished to dance,
and those who INDUCED in this pastime
were not few. Then there were many who
found amusement and heaithful exercise
in rowing on San Pablo Bay, and there
were those who carried away forcible re-
minders of this in blistered hands.
During the afternoon quite a number of
parties, with guitar. banjo and mandolin,
sought secluded spots and found enjoy
ment in singing the good songs OF old and
many of the new ones, the latest vocal
craze, "Ma Angelina" being the favorite.
These concerts were listened to by many
of the picnickers, who were attracted to the
sites by the music.
The boat that left Ell Campo at o'clock
In the afternoon brought back a great
number of the families that did not want
to join in the crush that there was on the
last boat.
There was strong force of police ON the
grounds to preserve order. Their presence
had salutary affect on some of the late
corners, who manifested desire to run
the dancing platform.

Preceding the address of the day at the
Good Citizenship meeting yesterday after
noon at Metropolitan Temple L. j. Weaver
recited a poem entitled 1.-THE Trem bling

in preparation of war existing through
out Europe.
Chauncey Parke was the speaker and
discoursed on "Antagonisms of Civiliza-

Ii peculiar 10 human intelligence to be

why should this be so. This antagonism Is
destructive, but this destruction is only the
promise of better future things. Antagonlsms
grow more complex as civilization advances
The sntagonisms of to-day are largely OF
political, social and religious character. What

Mr.. Parke then referred in detail to the
course of the Roman church, which he
SAID was an exemp plification of this spuri-

A Chance to Dc q Good Deed.

Our American people have big hearts.
One thing they will not do-they will not
let the orphans suffer if they know it. AS
proof of this, in the little village of Clinton,
in South Carolina, the Thornwell Orphan
age which was founded in 1876 has grown
apace, till now. into its many cottages one
hundred and fifty children are gathered,
while very many who found home there,
have gone out we'll fitted to do good work
for themselves and the world. Little boys
and girls, that were bereaved of parents
care, and no one knows what would have
become of them, have been helped to
mans estate and are now prosperous mer-
chants, mechanics, farmers, teachers,
preachers, missionaries. Many. of the
former pupils are happily married, and all
are doing well. These orphans while
coming mainly from South Carolina,
every Southern State. There are, for
instance eight from Texas, seven from
Virgins. They are also from every
prominent denomination, and ten church
es, Catholic and Protestant are repre-
sented among the children. They are
taught thoroughly full course of literary
studies and in addition all are put to some
trade, such ss printing, carpentry, farming,
domestic work, &c. They are bright,
happy, contented household and that their
health is cared for, Is shown by the fact
that there have been only three deaths In
81 years. The strange part oft, all is that
this great work is maintained solely by
the free gifts Of good people. The respon'
sibi!itY for it's success is placed upon
generous public, thus proving the state
ment that our American people have big
hearts. Any one wishing to send money

At several OF the precincts where the
voters were not well advised on the gen.
eral election law tickets with the 'No"
and "Yes" respectively were erased and
changed to suit their views, and voted.
This fact becoming known gave rise to
rumor that with these "illegal" votes
thrown out the new Court House and
Jail was an assured fact. The Commis-
sioners of Election recounted the votes
cast on this question, laying aside the
mutilated tickets, b1t upon finding that
these tickets did not change the result,
they declared the entire vote as cast.
