ENGINEER FOOLED.
How the G. A. c. ParlOr Athletes
Worked the Thermometer.

How the G. A. c. ParlOr Athletes
Worked the Thermometer.
The members of the Columbia Athletic
Club have hardly ceased laughing yet at
an amusing incident that occurred one
evening early in the week 1t was one of
the evenings. of which there have been
too many this week, when the wind was
bowling like an enraged demon and the
mercury in the thermometer was doing its
best to crawl out at the bottom. A little
group of "parlor athletes" were amusing
themselves In a quiet sort of way, telling
stories through the cigar smoke and en-
joying themselves with the feeling that
whoever might freeze to death they at least
were warm and comfortable. The steam
was on full head in the radiators and an
open fire was the center of attraction.
II wonder how cold 1t is outside re-
marked one of the athletes. who had no
idea of going out until the club closed for
the night.
Shouldn't wonder If it's down to Zero"
was the reply of one of the others as he
drew closer to the glorious blaze and light
ed fresh cigarette.
Lets put the thermometer outside and
see.''
No sooner said than done. few min
utes later the thermometer was brought
in and the mercury stood at degrees
thereabouts. The instrument was put
back in place and a moment later the
engineer who locks after the heating of
the big building passed through the room
on his rounds. One glance at the ther-
mometer and cold shiver ran down his
spinal column.
Great heavens, 25 near the radiator"
With his coat collar turned up around
his ears the unhappy man rushed down to
the engine room. The boys dropped to the
game and when the engineer returned to
see how things were getting along they
were all huddled up with their coats but
toned up and their hands in their pockets
to all appearances as cold men can be
without freezing. The helpless victim
took a hasty look at the thermometer 1t
registered but 81.
Holy smoke, what shall do now The
fires are as hot as dare make them, I've
got every pound Of steam the law allows,
II I can't keep these rooms at 20 I'll get
the bounce and IL succeed 1 run the risk
of blowing up the building"

table Californians will be kept busy en-
tertaining them.
San Francisco has long wanted con-
vention, and there is no doubt that
the Endeavorers there will do their Mt
most to help their eastern friends have
good time.
AS for the convention itself, there are
no specially novel or interesting fea-
lures ON the programme. There will be
the usual reports Of the general society
officers, including probably one of those
interesting little speeches by General
Secretary Baer, who always seems to
have the faculty of putting the conven-
tion in good working humor. There will
be chorus and congregational singing,
and as the Endeavorers are notably
good singers this will be one of the
pleasing features of the gathering, as it
always is While it is not expected that
the sessions will be neglected to any
great extent, it must be confessed that
the attractions of San Francisco will
prove far more tempting to the dele
gates than those of any other city in
which tney nave gathered.
The sessions will be held IN Mechan.
ics' pavilion, an immense structure, in
which it is expected the entire body of
delegates can be comfortably seated at
once. This will be the only convention
for years in which all the Endeayorers
have been able to get together under
one roof. In Washington last summer
three big circus tents were filled, and
overflow meetings were held in various
halls.
The Endeavorers have been given
generous rates by the railroads. The
round trip from Chicago will cost them
only $50, which is something less than
half the regular rate. This will bring
the average expense for transportation
alone up to about SO for each delegate.
To this must be added at least $50
more for living expenses.
But 500 does not include the cost of
making any one of the many side ex-
cursions which will form one of the
chief features of the convention. 1t is
not likely that any eastern delegate will
want to rush through to the Pacific
coast and back again and leave unvisit-
ed all of the places which make the far
western states the wonderland of the
continent. While they are in California
they will want to see some of the big
trees, and an excursion over narrow
gauge road will be run for their bene-
fit. The round trip will be only SO.
There are at least dozen other points
of interest within short distances of the
convention city, and the local Endeav-

GENERAL SECRETARY JOHN WILLIS BAER.
orers have arranged excursions to all of
them and have obtained greatly reduced
rates.
On the way out a stop over may
be made at Denver, where the local So
cieties plan to entertain their eastern
friends by taking them to the top of
Pixies peak and in various other ways.
To take six days trip to the Yosem-
lite valley from San Francisco will
cost the Endeavorers only $50 extra.
Then there will be Yellowstone park,
with all its wonders, which the dele
gates will miss if they do not stop over
at Livingston, Mon. From there in
to the park is long distance, but the
whole trip may be made in less than
six days at cost of $48. 30.
Trips have even been planned to Alas
ka and the Hawaiian Islands. The Alas
kan trip will be made on the steamer
Queen, which sails from Tacoma, Seat
tie and Victoria on July 22 and returns
on Aug. 8. The fare for the round trip
will be $50. The round trip to Honolu-
In will occupy 20 days, and parties of
Is or more will be carried for S100
each, the regular fare being $40.
Perhaps you wonder where all these
young people come from. If you do, You
forget that there are nearly $1,000
Christian Endeavor societies in the
United States alone. All through the
eastern, New England and middle states
you will find that the Endeavorers have
an active branch in every little town
and village. Sometimes these local so
cieties constitute the only social organi-
Eation of any sort to be found in the
place, and they thrive where societies of
any other sort would perish from any
one Of dozen causes. 1t is the sound
Christian Endeavor constitution, which
they inherit ready made, that keeps
them so prosperous.
Not all of these small societies have
even one member who can afford TO
make long and expensive journey each
summer, but If any member can possibly
do so he or she is elected delegate and
the society is proud to know that it is
represented at the convention and has
helped to swell the state delegation.
Then the Christian Endeavor conven-
lions are probably the best advertised
affairs which are held anywhere in the
country. As soon as city is decided
upon the local committees get to work
and for the next 10 months keep the
2, 800, 900 members fully informed about
all the details of the coming trip. En-
thusiasm is worked up by local secreta-
ries, and so when the time comes for the
little band OF home delegates to start
there are many left behind who deter
mine that next year they will be among
the fortunate ones to join the singing,
shouting, travelling Endeavor hosts
O. T. BAXTER.

ably there are none held in any part of
the world which equal the Endeavor
conventions in point of numbers. Usu-
ally they are attended by about $4,000
delegates.
But mere numbers do not fully con-
yey the true idea of the magnitude of
these gatherings, for along with the
delegates come vast army of friends
and associate members who take advan-
tage of the cheap rates and the congen-
ial company to make a summer pleasure
tour. Only the largest of our cities can
accommodate the crowds. 1t took the
hotel men some little time to realize
how numerous the Endeavorers really
are. Five years ago, when the conven-
ton was held in New York, l asked the
manager of a big Broadway hotel,
week before the opening day, if he did
not expect to have a crowded house.
"Oh, no!'' he said carelessly. "Those
religious conventions never amount to
much New York could have half
dozen at once, and we could handle
them without any trouble at all"
A week later, when the town was
fairly running over with Endeavorers,
CHANGED to see him again, and I asked
if he had many delegates at his hotel.
81 should say I hadl They nearly
swamped me the first day, and we've
been turning them away in droves ever
since. All the other Broadway hotels
are in the same fix. Say, didn't think
there could be such lot of them"
Boston had even a worse experience
two years ago. The state officers of the
society tried to impress ON the local
transportation men that a big crowd
was coming. The latter evidently did
not believe it. They did not make suffi-
cient preparation, and consequently the
street car lines were choked up for two
or three days.
In Washington last year it seemed as
If there was better understanding Of
this matter, and preparations were made
accordingly. The national capital can
accommodate lot of people at one
time, but if it had not been for the
thoroughness with which the local En-
deavor committees did their work the
experiences of New York and Boston
would have been repeated. The job of
sbeltering the 80, 900 delegates and their
army of friends was not left to the ho-
tells. Had it been there would be more
gray haired landlords in Washington
than there are now. When saw the
long trains emptying their thousands
into the streets, asked Washingto-
MAN:
where are you going to put them
all?"
Most of them will be assigned to
private houses and boarding houses. A
few will go to the hotels" he said.
And that is the way San Francisco
will take care of the crowds this sum-
mer. 1t will be necessary, although
there are dozen good sized hotels in
the city, and the crowd will be much
smaller. In fact, the attendance will be
less than at any Christian Endeavor
convention which has been held for sew
eral years. 1t is the distance and the
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-07-04
