Death of Ezra Mason.

The death of Ezra Mason occurred yesterday
atl1 a. m. at his home in Owosso township. Mr..
Mason had been sick for two months past with
stomach trouble, possibly q cancer, but II was
not supposed by any one that he was so near
deaths door. He had had the same trouble be-
fore and apparently had almost entirely recov-
cred his usual vigorous health. The news of
his death will be a shock to his host Of friends
in Shiawassee county. .su
Mr.. Mason was born in Owosso township Nov.
0, 1889, being the first white child born in the
township. His early years were spent on the
farm, afterwards studying civil engineering at
the Michigan University. In township affairs
he was recognized as q leader to be implicitly
trusted, having repeatedly filled various posi-
tions of trust, only last spring being elected as
justice and a member Of the board OF review.
The people of the county repeatedly honored
with an election as county surveyor, which
office he held at the time of his death. He
served as county treasurer from 1887 to 1890.
The success OF the Shlawassee Mutual Fire In
surance Co. was largely the result of his untir-
ing efforts for years in the office of secretary
and later as auditor. The company never had
q more faithful official or truer friend. His
counsel will be missed at its meetings. Mr..
Mason vas interested in everything pertaining
to the public welfare; his word as good as his
bond; his work as an official above criticism.
Such a man as Ezra Mason will be missed by
any community-a sturdy pioneer, true citizen,
a kind husband, father and neighbor.
He is survived by his wife, three sons, George
Of Corunna, Edward L., superintendent OF
schools at Clinton, Iowa, and Fred,iwho resided
at home, his brothers, Geo. T.. Mason, county
drain commissioner, and VIM. II. Mason, of this
city. The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock at the family residence.

Iowa bars the Cigarette.

Des Moines, Ia, May 3.-The house
rejected Hays license proposition and
adopted the Phelps anti-cigarette law
absolutely prohibiting the sale, with the
addition of a $500 mulct tax on retail
dealers in cigarettes. The legislature has
petitioned congress for a law placing
cigarettes under police regulations,
which would make the Phelps law op-
erative. The appointment of the house
members of a conference committee on
the Temple amendment indicates tina the
old law will be retained and the Burllng-
ton Relief association remain undis-
turbed.

Nelson's Bankruptcy Bill.

3Ntlsoh bill
The success of Senator Knute Nelson
in substituting his bankruptcy bill for
the one before the senate and then Sc
curing it's passage was a feature of the
legislation of the present session. 1t
was a decided victory for the Scandi-
navian senator, and as unexpected as
it was thorough and complete. During
the long discussion of the bankruptcy
measure Senator Nelson has grown Wis
IDLY in the estimation of his colleagues
as a sound lawyer and strong fighter.
The whole question of the bankruptcy
legislation has been an apparently in
terminable and insoluble controversy
for several years. Judge Torrey has
given the subject of bankruptcy the
most careful attention, and has for sew
eral years devoted himself ardently to
the effort to pass a complete bill on the
subject drafted by himself and advocate
ed with great persistence. The Tor
reg bill vas an involuntary bankruptcy
measure. The Nelson substitute, which
row goes to the house, provides instead
for voluntary bankruptcy, the only ex-
ceptions being in cases where fraudu-
lent transfers of property have been
made by debtors. The house having al
ready in a previous congress passed an
involuntry bankruptcy law, it seems
proper that the Nelson bill, or a reason
able modification of it which preserves
the voluntary features. can become q
law at the present congress. This Is a
contamination that is earnestly wished
by many commercial institutions and
business houses throughout the country.
In the east a strongly involuntary law
would have been more acceptable to
creditors, while in the western states
the. Nelson bill Will be more generally
satisfactory, DUNBAR.

Most of the meetings of the conven.
tion will be in the interest of such OBJ
servance, and most of our guests come
from com mmunities where the Sunday is
more strictly observed than with us;
therefore, we submit that it would be a
gracious mark of respect to our guests,
and of courteous Difference to their
dearest convictions, and added
pleasure to their visit if all traffic and
trade, as far as possible, be suspended
in this City on Convention. Sunday;

places of business and amusement be
closed on that day. We bespeak the
cooperation in this movement of all
classes of the community.
The matter of receiving and providing
entertainment for those OF the delegates
who arrive earlier than Tuesday and
Wednesday of conventio week was dis
cussed at considerable length. The en-
tertainment committee reported thatit is
receiving daily applications for entertain
ment and it was finally decided that a
room should be secured in the Y. VI. c..

FRANCIS E. CLARK.
The committee of '97 met Thursday
evening at the headquarters, Y. NJ. G. A.
building, for one of the last sessions pre-
vious to the meeting of the convention.
There were present Messrs. Watt, Web
ster. Perkins, Rigdon, Kelly. Ollie,
RAIDER, Wiles, Merritt, Johnson, Baker,
Mackenzie, Campbell and Littlefed
The following resolution was presented
and was unanim ously adopted:
This committee records it's high ap-
probation of the generous spirit of
hospitality so spontaneously mani
tested by all classes of our citizens in
anticipation of the coming of our
tude of our bus mess comm anity, which

to every worthy cause, to every stranger
VINO comes to California in pursuit of
happiness, a livelihood or the accom-
pllshment of any good purpose for the
good and welfare of mankind.
There has not been so much of general
interest to the public for many years as
the coming of this great band of worthy
and enthusiastic workers, and thousands
of people who know little of the general
purposes OF the order, yet who know that
they make for good, have taken an un-
usual interest in the coming of the large
band of workers. 1t shows the depth
and extent of the great principle of human
sympathy and the tendencies of all men
to give aid to that which makes for the
upbuilding of humanity, whether under
the name of religious society or whether
under the banners of some great pro-
gressive movement combining various
organizations.

steadily moving toward the one goal-San
Francisco.
At the very borders of the State the
hand of welcome will be extended and at
every station along the road fellow
workers will greet them and with out
stretched hands and cherry God
speed pass them along to their destina-
tion.
Upon their arrival in this City adazzling
arrav of fSurple and gold, mingiing with
the National colors, will burst upon their
view. Market stree. from the ferries TO

President f. e. Clark, who has been
travelling abroad. was greeted with let
ter and telegram from headquarters as
soon as he arrived III Boston. In reply he
sent the following letter:
June 25, 1897.
Ny Dear Mr.. Watt: Thank you very much
for your kind welcome both by telegraph and
by letter. Your dispatch reached me Just as

in America Nothing could be more cheering
than your appropriate Scripture references.

interest and activity among Christians of
all denominations apropoS of the coming
of so large and distinguished, a body of
earnest Christian workers and the labors
of the local committeeman have been
almost endless for many weeks. The
programmes of the local meetings are
very interesting and extensive. There
will be many speeches and much of a
general character to interest the thousands
assembled in the various departments of
the great work of the society. 1t is the
purpose of THE CALL to give fair sum-
mary of the things that will be done dur
ing the deliberations Of the various bodies
assembled, together with an account of
the origin of the society as told by its
founder and others familiar with the work
in its details.

liminary committees will be in the field

they come and provide for their entertain
ment while they are here. Forty of the rail-
road committee will go to Sacramento to-
day to meet all incoming trains, and about
200 will go to Fresno to meet trains in ths
same manner. The committeeman will
all wear white caps and reception badges.
The first great gathering of the con-
vention will be at the Mechanics Pavilion
on Tuesday. Nearly oooo chairs have
been provided and the prospects are that
all of the seats will be sold by tonight.
On next Saturday night there will be
receptions to the delegates in fifteen of

couraged to believe that the bill can
be beaten. With Speaker Reed
opposed, as well Bailey of Texsa,
the leader Of the minority, there
will be at least an interesting fight
in the House OF Representatives,
while in the Senate the influence of
such leaders as Hoar and Morrill,
cannot be overestimated. There
are eighty-nine votes in the Senate,
and it is absolutely certain that
thirty-nine of them will oppose the
bill. Five or six others, who are
now relied upon by the annexation
lists to vote for it, are in doubt about
their course. III forty. five votes can
be secured against it the measure
will be defeated, and the leaders Of
the opposition confidently believes
that this number will finally be
recorded against the bill. Speaker
Reed is against annexation. He
believes that the addition Of the
islands to the territory Of the United
States would be source of weak
ness rather than OF strength, aud he
is not in favor Of doing anything
which may result in two Senators
from Hawai-, no matter how remote
that contingency may now be.
While Reed will not go to the
extent of interfering in any degree
with the free expression of opinion
in the House on this subject, if it
comes before the House, his attitude
OF antagonism will not be without
its effect. la fact, this declaration,
which Reed has made to his close
friends, is but another straw which
indicates the slackening of the tide
which was recently running full in
the direction of annexation.

Hawaiian Annexation Steadily Los.
ing Ground.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 8.-Two weeks
ago there seemed to be prospect
that the Hawaiian annexation
treaty would be ratified by the
Senate. Indeed, the friends of
annexation regarded it as certainty.
To-day they admit that the neees
sary two-thirds vote cannot be
mustered Therefore, it appears
probable that they will abandon
their efforts to secure confirmation
OF the treaty and will take up the
bill, which requires only majority
of the members OF both houses for
its passage.

tariff question, and takes up The cur
reuey as the next important national
matter to be disposed Of. The Presi.
dent recommends the estoppal Of
the endless chain by which the gold
reserve is depleted by holding
treasury notes paid into the treasury
for gold until gold is paid for them
by intending purchasers. He APP
proves, also, the plan of Secretary
Gage that national banks be allowed
to issue circulating notes to the face
value of the bonds which they have
deposited, and that the tax on cir
culating notes be reduced to one
half Of l percent per annum.
The President believes Spain is in
earnest in the desire to pacify Cuba
without further resort to the
methods OF the dark ages, and would
withhold recognition of belligerency
until the new Spanish Ministry can
be proven. The larger part of the
message is devoted to the discussion
of the Cuban affair.
He regards the annexation of Ha-
waii as the logical sequence of the
present condition, but admits that
there ara in the islands population
elements not altogether fitted to
share the duty and responsibilities
of American citizenship.
He touches upon existing compli-
cations in Central America in their
bearing on the Nicaragua Canal.
While he regrets the partial
failure Of the Walcott commission
in the international bimetallism, yet
he sees reason for felicitation in the
friendly attitude toward silver as
sumed by France.
He would foster trade with all
nations by reciprocal agreement,
and urges upon Congress the ne
cessity for earnest work in the re-
Mobilization OF the American mer-
chant marine.
The preservation OF the herd of
fur-bearng seals is most earnestly
advocated
p f,,s h.
settlement Of disputes between ma
tions finds the same strong favor az
under the Cleveland administration.
The Importance OF proper show
ing at the Paris Exposition Of 1900
is set forth at some length.
The President is an earnest advo
cate Of a strong naval program, aud
would build large dry docks, in
addition to those already 10 exist
ence, on both the Atlanti, aud Paci-
fic coasts, and construct an 9ddi-
tionsl battle-ship at the Western
seaboard.
The necessity for more strict gov
ernmental supervision OF Alaska is
pointed out. The President urges
also, the duty of the nation TO ex-
tend help, should help be needed, to
the miners in the Yukon Valley.
II is deemed wise for the nations
good, to make land-holding citizens
of the FIVE civilized tribes ia the
Indian Territory.
The need for better system OF
quarantine, emphasized by the late
yellow-fever epidemic, is pointed
out.
The President asserts the purpose
Of the Government to buy the
Kansas Pacific in case no bidder
shall cover its lien, and asks express
authority from Congress to take
such action.
The fact OF the completion of the
new National Library is recorded.
The success of the civil-service re-
form is said to be assured, and the
purpose Of the administration to
adhere to the merit system is most
emphatically asserted.-S. r. CAL.
