Views of an

that Great Britain is a cOnserva-

partment stores nave Deen III
fiourishing condition in that coun-
try. According to his view the
English department stores are
growing more and more In FAVOR
with the English people. He gives
various reasons for this as follows:
"In the large department. stores
business is conducted on honest
principles. $780,
aThe large department stores
are great cOnveniences to the trad
INC nublic. and. in a city of such
vast proportions rs London. to buy
various lines of goods under one
roof saves a great amount OF tlme
and annoyance to purchasers.

wider assortments and better
values than do the smaller dealers.

and others actual blessings ana

I'm my opinion this agitation
will soon be dropped and the

gradually grow in favor with the

Committeeman Cleland of San Fran
CISCO who has charge of trans portation
business for the Committee of ''97 -
in arranging for the sixteenth annual
Cristianh Endeavor Convention to be
held in San Francisco from July It'll to
18th, inclusive, met the Sacramento
County Committee at Westminster
Presbyterian Church last evening, and
besides explaining points upon which,
in the minds of some, there have been
doubts, gave a partial idea as to the
number of Endeavorers who will pass
through Sacramento on the way to San
Francisco.
1t was expected that members of the
local committees would be appointed to
travel with each train either between
Auburn and Sacramento or Sacramento
and Benicia to gather data respecting
the number on each train who may de-
sire accommodations after reaching San
Francisco, but as the attendance was
light, only a few volunteers came for
ward and offered their services.
Mr. Cleland's itinerary of the expected
visitors was far from complete, the DEL
egations from nearly half of the States
not having been heard from. From the
information he had succeeded in gather
ing he stated that the delegations from

COLUSA CRIMINALS.
One of Them, Jack Chisholm, Goes to
Folsom for Twenty Years.

Sheriff Jones of Colusa County passed
through the city yesterday, having IN
charge Jack Chisholm, who is booked
to serve twenty years at the Folsom
Prison for the crime of burglary
Several weeks ago Sheriff Jones no
titled the local police that safe had
been blown open at Arbuckle, ColuSa
County, and appended to his account a
description of the men supposed to
have done the work. Within few
hours officer Talbot arrested a crook
named Tom Willis, who answered the
description given by Sheriff Jones, and
who was subsequently proven to be one
of the suspects who had been seen near
Arbuckle just prior to the burglary.
The Colusa County authorities, how
ever, considered the evidence against
the prisoner too slight to secure con-
viction, and he was discharged.
Jack Chisholm was a partner of Tom
Willis, and was arrested about the
same time. After the latter had been
discharged Chisholm was brought to
trial, convicted of the charge and SEN
fenced to serve twenty years.
Since his conviction Chisholm has
told all he knew about the matter, and
says that he, Willis and a half-breed
Shoshone Indian not only tapped the
safe at Arbuckle, but did all of the
wholesale thieving and burglarizing
that occurred throughout Colusa Coun-
ty last spring.
And now Sheriff Jones is anxious to
see Officer Talbot, or some other Off
Ger, once more place the wristlets on
Tom Willis.

HIS USEFUL CAREER ENDED.
"June" B. Harris SuCCumbS to the Fell
Destroyer.
After Lingering Illness He Passes
Away Among the Sierra
Nevada Pines.

The sad news was received yesterday
of the death of J. B. Harris, the we'll
known and popular newspaper man, at
Towle's Station, Placer County, whittier
he had gone in the hope of prolonglng
the fast-fading spark of life that hao
but family fickered in his breast for
many months. Indeed, for seVerdl
wears Mr.. Harris had been in feeble
health, and it was apparent to hlmsell
and his friends that consumption hao
fastened it's fatal coils about MN.
He had fought bravely against the
encroachments of the insidlous disease
hoping that his life might be spared
long enough for him to make some pro-
vision for his wife and four children,
but even this was in the face OF what
he feared was a hopeless fate.
Junjus Brutus Harris was born near
Trenton. Mo-, and was about 40 years
of age. On coming to California he
first located at Truckee. From there he
went to Chico, then to Marysville, ana
finally came to Sacramento and became
a compositor on the Bee" He was
a good printer, and being man of far
more than average intelligence, quick
ened by experience and careful observa-
ton. he was promoted from the case
to a position on the reportorial force.
He hesitated about undertaking the lat
ter duty and modestly expressed fear
that he was not equal to the task, but
encouraged by those who knew him even
better than he did himself he entered
the ranks of local writers and news
gatherers.
That he succeeded, it is unnecessary
TO state Indeed he was competent to
serve on the staff of any metropolitan
paner. for he had all the qualifications
of a news gatherer and knew how to
present the news in a readable, terse
and comprehensive form.
A few years since Mr.. Harris, in COM
pany with John A Seehan, engaged in
the publication of the News and it
was only a few weeks ago, when his
health became so poor that he was una
BILE to work. that he disposed of his in
terest in the paper and sought the CHI
mate of the mountains, his only hope
being to prolong his life a little while.
Mr.. Harris was blessed with a genial
disposition. and had the happy faculty
of making friends and keeping them.
Yet he was a man Of positive charac-
ter. and neither frined nor foe was ever
in doubt as to his stand on any propo-
sition. Hence his friends were legion,
and his foes so few that they occupied
but little of his time or thought.
He was kind husband and affection
ate father, and there will be sore and
bleeding hearts for years TO come in The
household of which he was the life and
light The devoted wife and loving
children of the dead journalist have
the deep and earnest sympathy of a
large circle of friends in their bereave>
ment.
Mr. Harris remains will be brought
to the city this morning, and the fun
eral will take place at 2 D. M on Tues
day from the family residence, 2510 o
street.
