CORRESPONDENCE
Editor UNION:

Dear Sir:-Again the pencil
comes in hand, though / hardly
know where to strike, as the i'm
provements of the age are 80 varied,
yet 1 fancy that new-fangled i'm
provements should keep ahead Of
the old self-taught teachers of the
early ages Of the Church, for in
many instances they were taught
principles Of life and salvation, die
tated by the spirit of peace and un-
ion that comes alone from the
ruler and giver of all good.
How backward many are in put
ing into practice those things that
have been SO long placed before
us. Formerly, when our children
were ten and twelve years Of age,
were asked to give the measure
ment of a load OF wood or lumber,
they could readily do SO after q
few moments figuring, but how
different now. / asked a scholar
much older, not long since, to
measure board for me, when he
replied that he had not been taught
how to do SO. or how many feet
there are in a cord Of wood. Up
on asking his teacher to show him
how it was done, was told he did
not know how to figure it out and
that he, the scholar, would have
to figure it out for himself and
when he had thus learned it he
would never forget it.
/ would not, by any means, wish
to be finding fault with those
who are over us, as a people, but
ask why the difference between my
scholar days and now?
L caught a term at school when
/ could between other duties, and
frequently had to leave before a
term or quarter was over.
Now If we are only trying to see
how many fine words and phrases
our sons and daughters can learn
and use in telling story or how
much space or time can be occupied
in telling nothing, then all right
| recollect hearing the prophet
Joseph say to several young men,
myself among the number, 'See
how much you can tell in the fewest
words and make it plain and easily
to be understood by ALL"
Now whether In speaking OF
writing, fancy it would be well
for some of our speakers and writ
ers to learn brevity, and avoid rep.
etition; and then better than all
to stop when through.

CONVENTION NOTES
Matters of 1iIor Interest Thst Transpired
About the Convention Yesterday

Ex Mayor John Bryson took in the
evening session and watched the peace
and harmony with interest.
Senator j. J. O'Brien entered the hall
at the evening session in great perspi-
ration and wanted to know if a dis
patch had been received changing his
vote. Upon being informed that it had
not come to hand. he collapsed and was
carried out of the hall
Owing to the accident which befel his
wife Martin Marsh was unable to at
tend the sessions of the convention for
two days

should be taken. Then Mr.. Mitchell was
to rise and make motion for the ap-
pointment OF a conference committee
from each side, seven from the Patton
forces and seven to represent Mr.. Rose.
This committee was to get together and
see what could be done.
Mr.. Rose announced that in the inter-
est of party harmony and as Democrat
who had the success of his party at
heart he was willing to withdraw, pro-
vided Mr. Patton did likewise. This
would then leave the convention free to
nominate a dark horse by accl2mation.
The Patton caucus. held in Senator
Whites office. was strictly executive.
But very little that transpired LEAKED
out. 1t was stated that TIE determina-
ton to nominate Mr.. Patton was more
pronounced than ever among some,
while those who deemed it advisable
for him to withdraw kept their own
council The caucus adjourned without
having accomplished anything save an
agreement to stand by Patton for
while anyway.
1t was afterwards reported that ev-
cry man present at the caucus was
sworn to vote for Patton to the bitter
end but that story could not be substan-
tiated. The Patton men refused to deny
or affirm it,

against q negro named Charles Alexan-

dismissed on payment of $5 costs, the
affair being merely a family jar. Alex
ander objected to a young man who
called on his sister and fired him from
the premises, and in the scuffle the girl
was pushed down. The district attor-
ney made motion to dismiss.

AGAINST GOLD
rIajor Burke Knocks a Filled Tooth Down
Councilman SaNage's Throat

After the convention had adjourned
last evening, there was the liveliest row
in Turnverein hail that has been seen
in the city for 10 these many days.
Major W. r. Burke had his fighting
clothes on and he proceeded to demon
strate the fact by making Councilman
Thomas Savage a living Illustration of
his ability as fighter.
The major and the councilman were
discussing matters and things relative
to the Crittenton rescue home meetings
when Mr. Savage inadvertently re-
marked that the major had at the city OF
Sacramento paid to George Arbuckle
s35 to vote for him for delegate 10 the
Chicago convention.
The major at this changed the line OF
conversation and created an incident
With great force and Vigor he landed
his right upon the jaw OF Mr. Savage,
sending a lG to l gold tooth down the
throat of the councilman, incidentally
remarliug t. him:
You are liar,'
Mr.. Savage was taken completely by
surprise and if he had not been at once
surrounded and held down he would have
made things lively.
Special Police OFFICER Mersh stepped in
and got between the two men, and
large crowd formed about the two COM
batantS, VINO continued 10 DISCUSS tHe
causes that led up to the passage at
arms. United States Marshal Nick CO.
Varubias, Ralph Dominguez and others
attempted to act as pacifiers, but they
failed of their mission. Savage was de-
ternined to get at the major for what
he termed a cowardly blow. Paul Flour
mer, city iailer, also tried to do duty rs
a peace officer, and was accomplishing
something.
In the meantime the crowd had in
creased and everybody had become in
terested. For time it looked as though
there was going to be a free fight, but
a word from Senator White brought the
angry men back to their senses and re-
stored peace. Major Burke was taken
away by his friends, and Mr.. Savage
left the hall with displaced tooth.
Major Burke is scIapper. -Four
years ago at the congressional conven-
tion at Santa Barbara Chalk Roberts
conceived it to be his duty to laugh in
the majors face and did SO, himself es-
Gaping unframed. AT the county con-
Vention in June last the major reversed
the order, and led Jack" Billany to
think he had been run through thresh-
ing machine. Last night he got the best
of the melee
BY those who saw the beginning of the
row last night it is asserted that Saw
age was at fault. He was under the in
luence of liquor, very quarrelsome and
generally objectionable. This is his sec
Ond fight for the week.

1T WAS BRIEF
-Four Monotonous Roll Calls All That Is Ac
compIished at the Morning Session

The morning session was convened at
10 o'clock promptly, but it was fully an
hour previous that the delegates com
nenced to enter the hall. 1t was ex-
pected that there would probably be
some fun, but the anticipation failed OF
realization. The proceedings turned out
TO be not only exceedingly tame but
very brief as we'll
Four ballots We're taken without any
change in the result
After the 104th ballot Senator White
arose and stated that as it was evident
that there would be no change in the
vote he would make motion to adjourn
until p. IN. The motion prevailed.
Senator White announced that the
Patton delegation would at once pro
ceed to caucus i'll his office in the Tenn
pie block.
The announcement was made that the
Rose men would caucus at the Nadeau
at once, and then there was a grand rush
for the door

A6ilurrment
The hall was literally packed when at
SIS o'clock Chairman Merritt called the
convention to order.
The sergeants-at-arm went among
the spectators and requested that as
ladies were present everybody, both on
the floor and in the galleries, remove
their hats. To this request there was a
most gentlemanly response.
AS soon as the secretary had called the
roll of counties the 120th ballot was an
nounced 1t was taken without change.
Then the f2lst followed.
Senator White arose and moved that
the convention adjourn until II a. IN.
today.
Chairman Merritt put the motion. and
on viva Voce vote 1t appeared to be
carried. Senator White demanded a
roll call.
Secretary Ramish called the roll of
counties. and then the Rose men broke.

Those attending both caucuses were
sworn to secrecy and but very little
