recognize only those mediums who had
been Endorsed by the association. Imme-
dia ely several people made a vigorous
protest claiming that such resolution
was an encroachment upon the liberties
aud rights of the local societies. Ellis de-
clared that it was no intention TO do so,
but that he was making a fight AGAINST
lot of fake mediums who frequently win
their way into the favor of the local
bodies. He cited one case where one
medium, who had been run off of the
camp ground at one of the Eastern camp
grounds, had come to this City and been
taken up by an Alameda society oil spirit
ualistS and succeeded IN breaking the
treasury before the society found him out.
This started the ball motion, and 1t
rolled back and forth through The ConYen-
ton all day, cracking the harmony wher-
ever 1t rolled. Mrs. K. h. Robinson got
the floor and in her discussion OF unscru =
pulous and tricky mediums called atten-
tion in particular to a local physical
medium, whom she openly denounced for
his lack of sincerity 10 the cause, and for
his deception in the presentation OF spirit
ual phenomena. The speaker defined the
duties of the spiritualists and said that IL
was the time now to rid the ranks OF such
frauds. and the convention should elect
honest people on its n Xt board Of direct
ors-men who were not afraid to take
hold of the matter and stand Tor truth and
right.
As the medium whom Mrs. Robinson de-
nounced was in the convention as dele
gate he made an attempt to speak IN his
own defense, but Nj. .; Norton got the
floor. and, taking up the subject where
Mrs. Robinson had dropped 1t, proceeded
to rub it into the accused medium by stat
inr that the latter had applied 10 the State
association to be ordained as minister
of splritualism, but he was refused Drama
tiou. and the investigating com mmltiee
report had been accepted by the assocla-
tion.
The accused medium, however, got the
floor and made his defense by stating that
he was a true medium and that all ne
wanted was :he truth. He spent some
time in denouncing an article ABOUT MIN
in an Eastern paper, whlc purporteo 10
be an expose, of his methods and rejected
upon his morality, as 1aIsen%ou anu an
unYarniShed lie. however, Ellis ieo0iu-
ton went through.
Then came another sly hit at persons In
the hall. 1t was in the shape OF report
or resolution to the effect that no me-
dium or spiritualist speaker VINO is gwen
10 drink be indorsed by the association.
No one dared to make any remarks against
the resolution, and 1t was pasSeu.
For a time there was peace ana seVerhi
resolutions that did not grind on any
ones toes were passed. One was that Ger
tam societies are making crusade
against sp:ritualism. and it was decided
that the believers in the latter shall assume
the offensive in any fight that Is maze
upon them. Another was on the line
that it is the duty of spiritualists to take
mart in matters political in order 10
eoualize the unequal conditions that
exist at the present time and prevent the
oppression of the poor by the rich, ana
that the National convention be drawn
into line in this matter. little more OH

The second days session OF the second
annual convention of the California STATE
Spiritualists' Association opened vester-
day morning in Scottish Hall. The spirit
of peace and brotherly love that is sup
posed to peryade such gatherings was
more noticeable from its absence than by
its presence. From 10 A. NJ. to 5 P. NJ. the
delegates found plenty of occasion 10

times indulge in personalities. In the

minor matters OF business were transacted

COLODIS4S TO
RAISE BEBTS
Twenty-Six Families Will
Soon Start for Cali
fornia.
Bright Prospects Of the German
Colony in Salinas
Valley.
The Association Hopes to Eventually
Bring Hundred and Fifty
Families.

Word has been received in this City
that the first delegation of families for the
ST. Joseph's colony near Salinas ill leave
Chicago on the Goth of this month. The
colony was organized some months ago by
the German Colonization Association of
California and was incorporated with a
capital of $500OO0.
The object of the association is TO bring
to California colonlsts, principally Ger
man Catholics, and to establish them in
the vicinity of Salinas. The association
has secured III, 900 acres of land only few
miles distant from the spreckels sugar
factory, and this land will be divided and
sold to the colonists, all of whom will
necessarily be men of some means OF
their own. All the land is i'm pr owed, be-
tween 5000 and 5000 acres being planted in
sugar beets.
The officers of the assoc alton are as fol-
lows: President, August Err vice-presi-
dent, L. S. Kast; cashier, Jacob Frank; /;
a1ditor, Alex. J. Berge; secretary, N. II.
Lang. A branch has been established in
Chicago, and in addition a number OF
prominent Catholics, both Clergy and
laity, are interested in the project.
August ErZ, the president OF the aSsOcl-
alton, speaking last night of the prospects
of the colony, said: I'VE expect TO locate
over $50 families. The first delegation,
which leaves Chicago on September 20,
will bring 26 families, and in addition
there will be dozen families from the
Pacific Coast.
"a second deleg CATION will start westward
about the middle of October and third
will leave the East month later. 1t is
desirable to get as many of them as posi-
BILE out here before November l, at which
time the contracts Ior raising sugar beets
are generally made. Claus Sp-eckes,
whose sugar factory is within few miles
of our lands, has written us that he will
take all the beets that our colonists raise.
''Ours is no paurer colonization scheme,
and every detail OF our colony has been
examined carefully by a com mittee COM
posed of representatives from various
States. They have reported most flatter-
inglv upon the project, and the work OF
colonization will now proceed rapidly.
What We need in California, as Claus
Spreckels said, is men who will go to work
on the farms of the State and develop its
resources"

MAKING MONEY EASY.
} John j. Smith Arrested on the Charge
OF OBJ ainiag Funds by Raise
Pretenses.

John J. Smith. laborer, appeared in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday to answer
a charge of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses, but as the prosecution was not
ready to proceed the case was continued
I'll! next Friday.
eOn Wednesday last produce-dealer at
Z ghteenth and Capp streets notified the
Seventeenth street station that two men
had attempted to steal someeggs from his
store. Policeman II. J. Connell was de-
tailed on the case, and the two men were
poin ed out TO him. They ran, and Con-
nell chased and succeeded in capturing
the m both.
During the chase Connell observed that
one of them, Smith, tore mp n piece of
paper and threw the fragments on the
street. After taking the men TO the sta
ZION Connell returned and picked up the
torn pieces OF paper. When pasted to-
gether it proved 10 be a subscription list
for the alleged benefit of the widow and
children of the late George Clark, to de-
fray the expenses of sending them to their
home in the East.
Among the subscribers were Senator
Mahoney, John ID. Siebe, P. J. Harney,
f. p. Schuster and others. Conneil IN
vestigated the matter, and came to the
conclusion that IL was simply a scheme of
Smith TO raise money for himself so he
swore to the complaint against him.

of the songs of the day, of the music-hall
variety; but now a marked change has

The result of the ballotins will not be

Great preparations are being made for

1t is strange fact that while t teeth
of the negro OH the old plan tations were
remarkable for their whiteness, those ot
the freed negro of the present day are in
an infinitely worse condition than those
of his white brother. This is owing en-
tirely to the change of diet and the
colored mans weakness for sweatm eats.

Nat. Goodwin's Manager Mad,

Nat Goodwin, the actor, seems to have
fallen victim to an over intelligent
telegraph operator-some such speci
men, doubtless, as the breezy chap in
1.-The Jucklins," and as result he got
at cross-purposes with friend. 1t
happened this way: Goodwin was
playing in a western town. One night,
just as he was leaving his dressing
room he received a telegram from John
Mcguire, the managerial magnate of the
Montana circuit The message read:
House completely sold out; biggest ad-
vance sale ever known. How is that
for IL"
What's the matter?" asked Manager
Appleton. as Mr.. Goodwin, with laugh,
read the telegram.
Matter Read that" And throwing
the telegram to Appleton the comedian
wrote a reply and handed 1t to the
messenger boy.
In few days the Goodwin company
was on the train and Mr.. Goodwin in
high spirits was waiting to grasp the
hand Of the lovable Mcguire. When
the train stopped at the station the
company got off and up rushed Good
win to join Mcguire, who was standing
on the platform awaiting the troupe.
The smile that generally illuminated the
happy features of Mr. Mcguire were not
so radiant as usual; in fact. he looked
ugly.
"HA!lo, joint" exclaimed Goodwin.
"Hello!" Mcguire answered, cold as
Ice.
What's the matter, John? House
burned up, or what?"
Matter enough. That's nice tele-
gram you sent me the other night after
had been rushing around and working
things up until | was nearly dead
why, the telegram sent you was
all right"
mo, 1t wasn't"
Come. John; TIL bet you n chan
paign supper and leave it to the bows"
Agreed" responded Mcguire, In a
hurry.
Then John handed Goodwin a tc,e-
gram. The telegram read:
"Hurrah for the Irsh---Nit."
1.-The DEVIL" exclaimed Goodwin.
Every one roared. The intelligent op-
orator had made Nit" out of MAT"
that was all.
