HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS.
Rev. r. J. shIDman's GoOd-By TO the
Members of the L. VI. &. A

A large gathering OF young men at
tended the services yesterday afternoon
at the Young Mems Christian Association
10 hear the address By Rev. T. J. Ship
man on Temptations That Confront
Young Men"
Rev. Mr.. shipman held the closest at
tenti0n of every one IN his audience. He
said one Of his greatest regrets in leav-
Ing the city was TO part with the young
men, FOR they had been 50 kind 70 him;
and then he knew OF some Of the many
temptations that confront young men, and
they We're often upon his mind and heart
The demand OF the age. he said, IS for
young men. In business this is particular
ly noticeable. one of the sad thoughts
that came TO him was that young men
enter so often into business before they
are prepared for IT, This Is one OF the
temptations. Many a poor fellow who
mas not received even common school
education, seeing how those around him
In business are succeeding, and who can
not go ahead himself, often resorts TO
ilegitimate means OF acquiring wealth
The social life is a great temptation TO
young men, ne said. They enter IL at
first only to a limited degree, are caught
In the tide and then when the struggle
comes they want to keep their heads
above water, and dress and 10 as others
DO no matter at what cost. We want non
est, straightforward, upright, young men,
ne said. The spirit Of liberty that is con-
ceied TO young men is a danger. Sowing
his wild oats, they say, is natural, but
he will improved later. That Is a danger
Gus thing to believe.
"A young man by society is allowed
TO do most anything he wants and say
anything he wants and then after leaving
vile company associates with all that is
pure and right. Is this right2 Young
men, lift high the standard OF right, cost
what IL may.
"Irreverence is a growing temptation.
Young men who want to do right find
great temptations for irrevence, because
those around are irreverent"
He then said a few words on Sabbath
dissertations. He asked the question, do
We reverence God by riding bicycles and
going on excursions on Gods holy day?
II we allow these things where shall we
halt? Young men have reverence for God
and His teachings.
Temptation is no sin, but when we yield
to 1t then it becomes sin. We cannot
stand in our own strength. The glory
of a young man is his strength, but not
his own strength, but that strength that
God supplies. The real true life is when
we get our life from Christ then we be-
come Christs men, ChrAts strong men.
The service closed by singing that beau
tiful hymn, God be With You Till We
Meet gain"
Mr. Shipman leaves the Duffy Street
Baptist church not only to the regret of
his own people but TO the regret of all who
accepted a call to the First Baptist
church of Roanoke Va, the church in
which he was brought up under his faith
er'S pdstOrate.

FORSYTH PARK OPEN.
A Suggestion for widening Whita-
ker and DraytOn Streets.


The iron fence around Forsyth park Will
be entirely gone by the end of the week
1t is more than half gone already. and
the park presents an entirely different
view from the Castor and Whitaker
street sides.
Opinions differ, of course, as to whether
the change is an improvement. 1t will
not take long, however, for the public
to become accustomed to the change. The
bicyclists are in hopes That their rights
will be considered when the walks around
the park are remodeled.
By throwing the park walks into the
sidewalks the latter are made as wide
as the streets around the park, and there
viii be plenty of room for both blcyclist ,
and pedestrians. What the bicyclists and
good many pedestrians, too, would like
is that these wide walks should be di-
Vided and one-haf allotted exclusively
to the use of pedestrians and the other
halt exclusively to the use of bicyclists
as advocated in the Morning News.
The bicyclists use the walks around tho
park, but this often results in incOu-
venience to both bicyclists and pedes-
TRANS and occasionally in accidents. With
separate paths for each the likelihood of
accidents would be reduced to minimum
A resident in the neighborhood of the
park suggested an improvement yester-
No9 NAAANh 0OuAa duu lndltAldlly 10 the
appearance of the park and increase
the popularity of that section of the city
for pleasure riding and driving
Now that the fence is removed or
nearly so, he said, the council could
make a great improvement by cutting
down the outer rows OF trees on Whit
aker and Drayton streets and widening
those streets around the park and the
park extension. The narrowness of the
streets detracts from the appearance of
the park and of surrounding property
as well. By widening the streets and
paving both Drayton and Whitaker
streets out from CASTOR south to Henry
street, or paving New Houston street, or
the portion of it south of the park ex-
tension, at least, a splendid driveway
would be afforded through the best
part of the city. The drive out
Bull street and around the park to the
southern end of the city would then be
the popular thing. The blcyclsts would
heartily approve of 1t because it would
give them a better roadway than anv they
now enjoy. 1t would greatly improve the
property in that vicinity and the property
owners could readily afford to pay for the
Improvement of the streets. The pres
ent cobblestone pavement on Whitaker
street is next TO no paving at ALL and
should either be torn up or covered up,
but not with shells. The condition of
Drayton street is sufficient to debar any
further experiments of that character"
The suggestion is worthy the attention
of council or the park and tree commits
sion might take it under consideration.

June 2S, 1S96.-Editor Morning News:
Dear Sir-When you brought me the Morn
ing News of Saturday morning contain
ing the dispatch from Macon I did not
read it. I have since done so. The fol-
lowing language therein contained was
neither incorporated into the platform OF
the democratic party, nor embodied in
any resolution which was adopted by the
convention, viz:
"And hereby denounces and condemns
as un-American and undemocratic any
association or organization, political or
otherwise, that is guilty OF illegal war
fare ana wanton persecution OF citizens
on account of religious faith and THAI
seeks to deprive them of the rights and
privileges Of American freemen"
The resolution which did pass denounced
nobody, and received the votes of the
Chatham delegation. Respectfully,
Pope Barrow.

.FIGH TING AT SANTA CRUZ
Two Sham Battles in One Week
Between Companies of
Regulars.
The Browns" Capture a Provision
Train From "The Blues" After
a Hot Fight.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 4.-Santa
Cruz at present is just in the throes of a
military mania. Anything la militaire
is fashionable. For the second time this
week the foothills of the northern portion
of Santa Cruz have been the scene OF a
fashionable gathering of residents and
visitors to witness a sham battle, and a
sham battle between the troops OF the
First Infantry. the oldest regiment in the
service, having been established in 1886,
Houston, Jeff Davis, General Phil Sheri-
dan and General Pike served, means a
glorious fight and a stubborn battle.
The base of operations was in and
around the city reservoir reserve, urdu-
lating land, with here and there promi-
nent mountain, being well adapted for the
purpose. The contending parties were
known as 1.-THE Blues and 1.-THE
Browns"
The Blues three companies, in COM
mand OF Lieutenant Ferris, were to escort
a provision and ammunition train through
High street to Camp Garfield. The Browns
were the attacking party.
-Four companies were under command
of Lieutenant Croxton and the skillful
maneuvers OF his men, and the successful
interception and capture of the train, were
watched by hundreds perched upon the
points commanding view of the battle
held.
This battle of the Reservoir" as it has
now passed into local history, was unu-
sually interesting from the fact that both
officers in command were young and
popular and this was a trial battle
watched with breathless interest by
numerous admirers of these officers from
Angel Island and Benicia, where they
were favorites of society.
The duty developing upon Lieutenant
Ferris of protecting his train was an
arduous and risky one; the odds were
against him from the start, as he had to
act upon the defensive in the valley below
the reservoir. while the enemy gradually
surrounded him and could from the
heights have decimated his entire force
Only by most careful Judgment was the
battle won, and Lieutenant Colonel Evan
Miles has every reason to be proud of his
men and his officers.
Following the sham battle yesterday
the officers welcomed the citizens of Santa
Cruz, and the citizens in turn enjoyed the
concert given by the band of the First
Infantry. Il has been years since such an
encampment has gained such popularity,
Its strict military regime during drill
hours and its hearty welcome TO its civil
ian friends has been the means of drawing
all Santa Cruz society to Camp Garfield.

IN JOINT DECLARATION,
Sentiment of the Foreign Dele
gates to the Irish Race
Convention.
Fair Treatment Acknowledged and 6
Pledge of Unfailing Support
Freely Promised.

DUBLIN, IRELAND, Sept 4.-The foreign
delegates to the Irish Race Convention,
which concluded its three days session
yesterday, have issued joint declaration,
in which they say:
We deem it our duty to record our grateful
appreciation OF the courtesy and kindness
with which we have been treated here We
came here without any bias toward any sec
ton, and with a determination to form an in
dependent opinion, based upon our own OBJ
servations. The delegates who were responsible
for the arrangements for holding the conven-
ton scrupulously abstained from any attempts
to influence our judgment. We have kept
separate our own organization, and asked no
body connected with the home movement to
attend our conferences. We are satisfied that
the convention in its composition and its
character voiced the Irish National spirit
We watched the proceedings of the eonven-
ton throughout, ana heard therein the fullest
and ireest possible discussion, and we were es-
pecially impressed with the unanimity that
was displayed for genuine party unity, neces-
sarily involving discipline and respect for
the rule of the majority.
We record our own entire belief in unity
based upon the only foundation possible-sub-
mission to the maiority-and we earnestly call
upon the people TO stand together for the
cause of unity and discipline in the Irish party
in Parliament. AS citizens of countries engeg-
ing in free government, we affirm that no other
effective line is known than submission to the
rule of the majority in political organizations.
Upon returning to our homes we shall convey
to our people a sense of the magnitude, au-
thority and order of the convention, and we
pledge ourselves to give our unfailing support
to the Irish parliam enIary party until self
government has been won for Ireland.
