THE CONVENTION OVER WITH

Ihe Work of the Two Days Came to a
Close Thursday Morning.
Continued From First Page.
The equal suffrage convention, which
has been in session since Tuesday noon,
adjourned at noon Tau sda While the
convention was not largely attended
the ladies who were here seemed to be
thoroughly in earnest with their work
and by their presence among US they
feel they have made, some converts to
the cause. The ladies' seemed to real
lie that they have very hard fight on
their hands, due mostly to the fact that
those whom they wish to talk to partic-
ularly, the men, drn attend the meet
ings in sufficient numbers to furnish
them much encouragement. But mas
much as they have been enabled to Sc
cure vote On the proposition of equal
suffrage they are going toleave no ostone
unturned that will enable them to &C.
complish the desired result.

PHILOSOPHICAL LECTURES
A Series Of Talks Begun in the Local
Headquarters

At Theosophical headquarters, 220k
South Main street, Miss Marie A. Walsh
began yesterday series of lectures on
Theosophy. Her subject last evening
was Unity in All Life" Miss Walsh
said that the great laboratory of nature
was ever busy working out a divine har-
mony with instruments differing greatly
in form and character. Many men of
many minds, each contributing his lit
tie in his own way. perhaps entirely
unconscious of the effect of his life and
work on others, does, nevertheless,
sound his own peculiar note, without
which the great harmony would be in
complete. Or the physical plane the
underlying unity is fac: in nature, well
authenticated by science. We and all
lower forms of life are built of exactly
the same material. hence the kinship.
We are daily interchanging parts of our
physical and psychical structure in our
contact with our fellow beings. All men
are thus seen to be part of ourselves
On the mental plane our thoughts
mngle with all the world of thought.
Unity in diversity, and especially unity
as the end and object of what seems to
US mass of warning units, is a comfort
ing Thought, ard 1aconciles us to what
would otherwise be an IRA tional and dis
heartening world. Unconsciously we
all aid in the general unity, but most
blessed is he who, by self knowledge and
spiritual attainments, arises to- that
plane of the cosmic evolution where he
knows natures grand plan, and con-
sciously takes up part of the work of
mans upbuilding in cooperation with
the divine powers directing the work,

ANOTHER LOTTERY RAIDED
An Amusing Sign Posted Out by a
Celestial

Officers Fowler and Sparks, who have
been making it warm for the proprietors
of Chinese lotteries the past few days,
made another haul yesterday. The place
raided was located at 203 Ferguson
alley. The whole outfit in the place, con-
sisting of many thousands Of tickets
and the instruments used in marking
them, was secured to be used as evil
dence. This was the first raid which
these officers have made in Chinatown.
Largely through their efforts, it is
claimed, that all the lottery joints which
were running outside of Chinatown have
been closed up tight, and they now pro-
pose to carry the war into the enemy's
own country.
One Chinaman, whose place at 233
Center place, was closed by the officers
several days ago, has posted out an
amusing sign. The Celestial claimed to
be doctor and used his title in the hope
of drawing suspicion away from the
lottery game which was running in a
rear room. The sign is painted on
board about two feet square and reads:
"Dr. Kan Sing is on a vacation. No
more medicine. Patients go home and
die"

routine business to be transacted, and
some street matters to be attended to.

be left dry in the middle Of the stret for
their accommodation, and have secured

dry strip on the ground that the dust
raised by the street cars in passing makes
it an intolerable nuisance.

THE LOST CHRIST
Evangelist Small at the First Chris
tian Church

Yesterday at the First Christian
church large audiences were present At
both services. Evangelist Small at the
morning services preached upon 1.-THE
Lost Christ" He said that Christianity
had great power in the beginning of the
Christian era. This was not because it
was possessed of great riches. or social
standing,or the patronage of the mighty.
There must have been some potent infiu-
ence in human affairs to have accom-
plished such wonders. This power was
found in the person, the character, the
life of the Son of God. To preach of him
in his wondrous power and beauty is to
accomplish wonders in the purifying of
human life. There were several accee-
sions to the church at the morning serv-
ices In the evening the evangelist
preached upon why Am Member Of
the Christian Church." There were sew
eral more conversions. The meetings
will continue for several days

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
But Then "AlPs Well That Ends
Well,

Too much liquor resulted in befud-
died condition &f Jim McGuire's senses
last Saturday tight and the aforesaid
befuddled condition was directly re-
sponsible for a runaway in which he
figured and which for time threatened
serious consequences both to himself
and his wife and baby. MCGUIRE had been
up town and started to drive to his home
at 240 Bernard street in his blackboard.
His wife and baby were on the seat be-
side him. t-s4 f.,s
When he reached Upper Main street
just in front of the old Mission church,
owing to the boozy condition of his mind
he mistook the sidewalk for the center
of the road and started in to make his
horse see 1t the same way as he did.
He had some difficulty in doing this anc
finally got the animal so excited that it
started to run away.
At about the first leap the rear end
of the rig struck telephone pole and
caved in, throwing Mcclure headlong
into the gutter. The horse then started
to run up the street in earnest, with
Mrs. Mcclure clinging to the seat with
one arm and to the baby with the
other. Officer Rico, who was patrolling
MS peat, nearQ the noise ana nurrleQ TO
see what was the matter He saw the
man lying in the gutter shouting at the
top of his voice, but did not stop to
make any investigation beyond hasty
glance and then took after the runaway,
hoping to stop the horse, and, if
not successful in this, to be on
hand if anything happened to the
woman. He was relieved when he saw
the rig draw up in front of house. On
arriving there he found that neither
Mrs. Mcclure nor the child had been in
jured. The runaway horse knew when
he had reached home and stopped. On
going back he found MCGUIRE still lying
in the gutter with badly bruised hip.
With the officers help he managed to
get home. where he found his wife anx-
iously waiting for him.

.HARBOR MOVE
Survey Steamer Umatilla
at San Pedro
a poR7ENTous ARRIVAL
UNEXPECTED AND MYSTERIOUS
ORDERS TO SAIL
The Next Thirty Days to Be Occupied
In Work About the Harbor.
What It Means

Az q late hour last night the United
States survey steamer Umatilla dropped
anchor in San Pedro harbor. having
come direct from San Francisco upon a
mission which IL undoubtedly Of special
Importance to this section. Although
the officers of the vessel refuse to give
any information as to what has caused
this unexpected move 1t is more than
intimated that the visit has to do with
the harbor question In some form.
1t is only couple of months since the
Umatilla was transferred from her ca
pacity as dispatch boat to the control of
the Coast and Geodetic survey, and she
Is now under the control of Col. Menden-
hall, chief engineer of the board. The
vessel is commanded by Lieutenant
Louthran, and carries a complement of
eighty men. What the nature Of her
mission Is can only be conjectured, but
that it is Of special Importance is un-
doubted. The officers state that they
will remain in port for thirty days or
more, and that they sailed under special,
and pr esumably sealed, orders.
Much speculation was indulged in by
the San Pedro people, and various ru-
mors were set afloat. 1t is the general
opinion, from all that could be gathered,
that the vessel has been ordered to the
spot directly by President Mckinley.
and that survey will be made to define
the limits Of the inner and outer har-
bors, which has been the sticking point
with Secretary Alger in his refusal to
advertise for bids. If such is the case
the letters and protests recently sent to
the president from this locality are evil
