There is a young man in this city who
learned to his sorrow few days ago that
the Christian Endeavorers have become a
power that brooks no insult to its mem
bers. 1t is also proved that they have a
pull with the railroad that is even greater
than that of Eli Denison.
The young fellow in question was up to
within couple of weeks ago peanut
from this city to San Jose, but since his
experience" with the Endeavorer hosts
he has been hunting for a position. 1t all
came about by display OF his freshness
to two younger members of the local En-
deavorers, who had been in attendance on
the State convention in San Jose.
The train was well loaded with the en-
thusiastic young people, and all was going
as merry as a marriage bell until the
smart young man set his eyes on two of
the prettiest ana most attractive Juniors
misses about 15-one q child of an Oakland
Presbyterian minister, who were seated to-
gether. He attempted a Irritation, but
failing to attract any responses he began
to make himself a nuisance. At first he
contented himself with making it point
to offer them all of his wares, and then
growing bolder, he attempted to engage
them in conversation. All of his efforts
were in vain, however, and then he be-
came insulting.
The young misses were inexperienced
and hardly knew what to do, but finally
decided to appeal to the passengers about
them for protection. A gentleman and
his wife sat across the aisle and they
asked him to drive the young man away.
This lie did in a few words and few if any
knew OF the incident, but the passenger
was so enraged that he did not forget it.
He was one who stood close to Superin-
tendent Fillmore and during the week
told him of the occurrance and requested
that the young fellow be discharged, so as
to avoid any repetition OF the offense in the
future. Fillmore readily consented and a
day or two ago handed the passenger a
letter showing that the peanut butcher"
had been dismissed.
The young ladies had no idea the matter
would 60 any further than the car and will
be greatly surprised to learn that the boy
who bothered them has been discharged
for his smartness.
In the same connection the station agent
at San Jose has received some pertinent
letters from the officials at Market and
Montgomery streets regarding his conduct
toward theEndeavorers on the Monday they
left that city for their homes. Owing to
his slow movements and careless ''I-don't-
care-if-you-do- miss the train" manner
there were a number who either missed
their train or had to pay full fare home
when they were entitled to a one-third
rate. Complaints were made and he was
even charged with partiality in waiting on
the crowd. Several sharp letters were sent
him, one being from Mr.. Fillmore himself.
The Endeavorers now feel assured that
when they again take trip on the South
ern Pacific they will be accorded the fair
est of treatment by the officials even down
to the peanut boys.
