WILL WE GET II ?
Director Webb Talks of the Prospects
of the Next N. e. A. Convention

Walter L. Webb of the board of edu-
cation has returned from attending the
National Educational association at Mil
waukee. Mr.. Webb says that
the three delegates from Los
Angeles, against twelve or fifteen from
Salt Lake, eighteen from Washington,
and a special committee of ten, from
Omaha, did such effective work that the
vote of the Directors stood 7, s, and 10
as the choice for the various places for
the next convention. As there was nc
selection, the matter was thrown to the
Executive Committee, consisting of the
President and four other MEMBERS
The committee will probably visit
Los Angeles in August or Sep
TENDER to see what arrange
ments can be made for hotel accommo-
cations, railroad fares, etc. Prominent
citizens and the commercial organiza-
tons of the city have promised that if
the convention will meet here, they will
see that an assembly hall is provided
which will hold the 10000 or IL, 900 dele
gates to the convention.
Mr.. Webb says that the grea majority
of the teachers themselves are in favor
of Los Angeles for the next meeting
place.

DIR. JOSIAH STRONG
Addressed the Ministerial Union
Yesterday Morning

DR.. Josiah Strong of New York City
addressed the Ministerial Union of this
city and visiting ministers at the Y. M.
c. A. rooms at ii o'clock a. m. yesterday.
DR.. Strong intends 10 make tour of
this part of the State, addressing the
ministers in the different towns toward
using the Erdeavorers' and other church
societies along certain lines of work. DR..
Strong said, in brief:
There is abundant evidence that the
national conscience has fallen far below
the physical growth of the nation. When
there is little conscience there is little
confidence. The great need of the nation
is mighty quickening of the nations
conscience toward God and man. How
shall this work be Accomplished? If
the Indifferent will not come after the
truth, it must be carried to them. There
Is ready at the hand of every pastor a
force equal to so vast work, only wait
ing to be organized" q
The speaker then outlined a plan by
which leaflets could be, distributed once
a month by the young people of the
church, each one being assigned a dis
trict. They will become a medium
through which popular conscience can be
brought to bear on State and national
legislation. When the young people of
State have been organized and prop
erly constituted board of representative
men agree that a bill ought to be de-
feated. 1t will be practicable to put be-
fore the Legislators the protest of hun
dreds of thousands of their constituents.
Thus, the agency educating public
opinion can be utilized to focus that opin-
ion upon State legislation, and as rap
idly as the public conscience is educated
it can be crystallized into law.

A WILL FOUND
The Peculiar but Unmistakable Char.
| acter Of Creede's Reauests

The will Of the late Nicholas c. Creole
Was found Saturday john r. Jones, tie
deceased's attorney, discovered it in
Creede's desk at His house. The will IS
a pencil draft prepared by Mr.. Jones for
Creede's correction, but the eccentric
millionaire was evidently satisfied with
the rough draft, or to save any loss of
time decided to execute it forthwith.
There are seven requests in the VIII.
To his sister, Mrs. William N. Phifer. of
Manitou, Colorado, is IL fit $4,000 in cash
and the Tallyho stables, value $S5 600.
To his nephew, Sherman Phifer, he
leaves $4,000 in cash. Phifer was. Creole S
companion in Ills prospecting tour when
he discovered the Holy Moses"
To Maggie Kearney, the nurse of de-
ceaseG's adopted daughter, $1,000
Then follow three requests to the Far-
vey brothers. whose Whereabouts are not
known and who were friends of Creole
in his boyhood days. NJ. C. Harvey is TO
receive $500, Jerome Harvey $4,000 and
J. w. Harvey one dollar The last named
is well off, which fact Creole recites,
but says he mentions his name to prove
that he did not forget him.
The remainder Of his estate, realty and
personal property, including the resi-
dence, sol Pearl street, is left to Dorothy
Edith Creede, his adopted daughter.
There is no men ton of the widow in
the will of any sort or kind.
VIM. Phifer. the brother-in-law, is
named as the guardian for Dorothy, and
he and John T. Jones are named as the
executors of the will without bonds
Creede provided in his will that all the
money of his estate should be deposited
in the First National bank and every
cent spent drawn by check upon that
institution. This the deceased believed
to be the most satisfactory way Of keep
ing accounts.
Roger Johnson, an attorney of San
Francisco, arrived in the city two OF
three days ago on behalf of Mrs. Bash
ford, the little heiress' mother. Mr.
Johnson has been examining the records
of Dorothy's adoption by Creole to pre-
vent if possible any attempt of Mrs
Creole to obtain possession or guardian
ship of the child.

win appreciation when Fitz said:
They say, Mr.. Depew, that the man

shook hands warmly and the doctor felt

very much impressed with the beauty of
Newport and said he was astonished at
the number Of magnificent homes that
lined the avenues. Wherever he went

introduced to him. Fitzsimmons re-

the ground that he found it much pleas

While Fitzsimmons was at Mr.. De-

that he was very much of man, with

No Longer Amy Need To Go Through En-

Up to times within the memory of
living men almost no one of means
travelled through Europe without a
courier. Before railroads were built
and before good guidebooks were print
ed he was almost Indispensable His
tribe survives, but in greatly dimin-
ished numbers. To the self reliant trav-
eler he is of no use whatever. Indeed
he is frequently "a positive incumbrance,
aud worse. To my mind one of the
great pleasures Of travel is in learning
to travel by myself There are satisfac-
ton, pleasure and education in plan
ming routes, deciphering time tables,
making bargains, learning by observa-
tion the lay of the land.
The time may have been when n
courier could save traveller more than
his cost. Most certainly that is not the
case now. On the contrary, as he gets
percentage on every purchase his party
| makes, which, of course, comes out of
! the purchaser in increased price, and
as it is often for his interest to advise
the moro costly route, the more costly
hotel or the more costly excursion, he
eats up much more than his wages,
while saving positively nothing. Bean
declares that in two weeks trip i'll

| side with couple having q courier, he
| invariably reached the hotel first got
better rooms and saw all the sights to as
good advantage, yet the courier was. OF
his kind, an expert The fact is that

so well studied its needs, books are so
plentiful, that you couldn't very well

Negro American Poet In London.

Paul Dunbar, the American negro
poet, has captured London. He has been
received with marked attention by good
society, and he is in big demand in the
most fashionable drawing rooms. NO
color line is drawn in England, and the
talented American is much sought att
er. He reads his verses at receptions
garden parties and other entertainments,
and he has received the most favorable
criticisms from the press. Mr.. Dunbar
went to London we'll recommended by
w. ID. Howells and other American lit
erary lights well known to the British
public His humble origin and the story
of his self culture, struggles and final
triumph have won him a peculiar re-

and the prejudices against him and ms
descendants have never existed. Mr..
Dunbar expects to spend several months
in London, and he will have no lack Oh
occupation, judging by his early sue,
cesses. His mission promises TO be al
