Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The Coming Summer Conference at
Mills College.

I'he summer conference at Mills Col
lege is the chief subject of interest in
the association now. This is the first
conference for young women to be held
on the Pacific Coast, though summer
after summer, for a number of years,
mas seen hundreds of city and college
girls in conference at Northfield, Mass,
and Lake Geneva, Wis, while last year
they assembled for the first time at
RoSersville, Tenn. The plans for the
four conferences are uniform in out
line, to be adapted to the different Sec
tions.
The college conference will be led by
Mrs. Beard of Napa College. Miss De
Voc of Seattle, at one time General
Secretary of the Pittsburg associa-
tion, which is one of the largest in the
United States, will conduct the city
conference. Every department of city
work will be discussed, and the needs
of the several associations represented
will be practically considered. A re-
turned missionary will bring that part
OF the work before the delegates.
A special feature, and one which the
members think ought to appeal to every
Christian interested in soul-winning, is
the Bible study, under DR.. Chapman of
Oakland. Those who heard him at the
Christian Endeavor Convention, re-
Gently held here, will not need to be
told that DR.. Chapman is noted as one
or the best Bible teachers on the coast
The afternoons will be given to rest
and recreation, and in the evenings
there will be sunset meetings and plat
form addresses.
DR.. Hoyt of Sacramento will preach
the first Sundays sermons, DR.. Chap
man the second and Dr. E. r. Ollie of
San Francisco will give two addresses
Miss Sewers, the International Sec
retary, who recently visited our city.
will be present during the entire con-
ference as leader, while Miss Reeder,
the Coast Secretary, will have the busi-
ness management.
The tuition fee will be So, and board
81 per day. Arrangements are being
made to secure reduced rates on the
railroad.
All women interested in Christian
work are welcome to attend this con-
ference. The General Secretary and
two delegates expect to go, leaving
next Friday morning.
The Entertainment Committee are
preparing for a class exhibit to be given
on the 18th Of June. The work done by
the painting, embroidery and dress
making classes will be shown and en-
tertainment furnished by the guitar.
piano, vocal and elocution classes. This
will be especially for members and their
friends.
A number of girls and women have
been supplied with work the past
month. There are places now open for
several cooks, housemaids and nurse
girls. Ladies wanting help for plain
sewing and general days work can be
supplied by calling at the rooms of the
association.

live for them; not to sacrifice life but
to perpetuate the glories won. There is
patriotism in times of peace equally
as praiseworthy as in times of war. To
be filled with this patriotism is the mes
sage of this hour.
1t is as difficult in times of peace to
live for principle as in times of war
to die for it-aye at times the former
seems more difficult. During war a
certain daring seizes us; life is deemed
OF little worth, and we sacrifice it. But
when peace reigns. when we are apt TO
become naughty, when increasing
wealth has a tendency to dry up the
founts of our higher feelings and breed
selfishness, evils OF luxury and laxity
Of morals, when the even tenor of our
national existence is apt to encourage
life of legality.
I say when peace reigns it is possible
for man to be enthusiastically perfect.
and yet morally rotten. During such
times as at the present it is difficult to
live truly heroic life. 1--WE must at
tain the heroism of love, not of fear"
Ours is not to be the sacrifice of a mo
nent, but the sacrifice (be it ever so
slighD OF a lifetime. Ours must be the
ribly in earnest, terribly sincere, full
or faith in God and as much in man
of unbounded love of truth and of inn
placable hatred of injustice. Heroes
Yes, soldiers, too, fighters against sin
and corruption in the high places, as in
the law; fighters in behalf of press pull
pit and platform, champions of the
widows and orphans, protectors of the
down-trodden and oppressed.
America ought to be filed with such
heroes. a land so abundant in oppor-
tunities for daily display of greatness
ought to find each loyal citizen a hero.
For this heroism OF soul let us strive.
Let this be the lesson that we are to
learn from Decoration Day May we
never forget that we best honor the
dead by living the deed of truth and
right. The lesson of noble dying is man
ly living

LOWER GREEN FRUIT RATES.
Contemplated Reductions by the Southern
Pacific Company.
A New Tariff to Enable Shippers
in Remote Districts to Reach
San Francisco

The Southern Pacific Company has in
preparation a new local tariff on fruits
and vegetables which will probably be
put into effect on June 10th 1t will ma
terially reduce the rates on shipments
of fresh fruit and vegetables within the
State, and as Assistant General Freight
Agent G.. w. Luca explains, is designed
to enable fruit t-growers away from
market to place their products on the
market at as favorable prices as grow
ers better situated now do.
1t is we'll known that all the fruit
which finds q market in San Francisco,
says the Chronicle" now comes from
the adjacent fruit districts. such as
San Leandro Haywards, San Jose and
the lower Sacramento River The more
remote districts have heretofore been
unable to profitably send fresh fruit to
this market and it is with the idea Of
extending the limits Of the territory
which supplies San Francisco with fresh
fruits that the new tariff is being pre-
pared.
The proposed new rates affect both
fruit and vegetables. In less than car
loads the rate on shipments from all
points will be changed from second TO
forth class, and on carload lots from
class 3 to class c. This change Of
classification Will materially reduce
rates from all fruit-growing centers,
and under the new tariff it IS hoped that
San Francisco will be able to get fresh
fruit and vegetables from the extreme
ends of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin Valleys as well as the Santa Clara
and Vaca Valleys.
The proposed new rates from the
principal fruitgrowing centers in the
several districts named, as compared
with existing rates, are as follows:

FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 1896.

ELoPED AN Hour AFTER MARRIAGE.
The marriage OF Miss Milligan Hurst
to Mr.. William Garrett, of Jessamine
county, KY, which was solemnized at
Squire Coy's, near Kirksville, Mon,
day night, terminated in d sensational
manner not looked fcr by the guests.
In less than en- hour after the cere-
mony had been performed and while
the guests were at the wedding feest, g
former sutton of the young lady ap.
peared upon the scene and beckonec
to the newly-made bride. She seemed
10 understand the signal, and they left
together.
The deserted bridegroom called at
the house of the officiating minister.
Rev. John G. Pond, Tuesday morning,
and requested the return of the license
and fee, which, however, the preacher
refused to give up. Determined to get
even in some way with his tickle bride,
Garrett returned to her home, and, col
lecting what remained of her wedding
trousseau, drove back with it to his
Jessamine county home. Nothing has
been heard of the clippers since their
disappearance.
