are still arriving at the Golden Gate
to attend this most glorious of all
Christian Endeavor conventions OF the
world, and to visit this remarkable
counly.
After being denied admittance from
both Mechanics and Woodward's Pa
vilions tonight by giant policemen.
who were made almost frantic by the
biggest crowds they had ever seen, !
took a stroll down Van Ness avenue
to Golden Gate avenue.
FRISCO WAY BEHIND WHINING
TON.
The first man / ran up against was
w. S. Heger, late superintendent Of the
Wilmington City Railway Company
(and who, it will be remembered, trans
formed all the Wilmington lines into
the trolley system, Mr.. Heger looked
for all the world like Vice President
Hobart, having parted with his Jet
black mutton chops"
If there ever was a man needed in |
San Francisco, 1t is w. S. Heger, and
he doubtless knows 1t. Frisco is away
behind Wilmington in street railway
facilities-fully ten years. She has two
or three cable lines, but the majority
of the rapid transit is by horse power, |
and there are no trolleys-at least that
l have been able to see. To tell New
Castle girl that there were no such
things as trolley rides and parties in a
great big. beautifully-built city like
San Francisco, would be to make her
wonder for an hour
But 1 have my first trolley wheel yet
to see in Frisco. l actually had to ride
ten squares through the heart OF the
city to-day in a bob-tail one-horsel
street car, where the lonely driver eyed
you for five minutes or until you be-
thought yourself to get up and drop a.
nickel in the hospital newspaper box
up forward.
HUNTING UP WILMINGTONIANS.
After l left Mr.. Heger, Howard DE
Haven Ross next crossed my path, but
his time was so taken up in doing the
honors to two Western girls, that he
never even spoke to me.
Feeling somewhat lonely / hunted
up Delaware headquarters, in the third
story of Mechanics Pavilion, and it
was great to look on the old coat-of-
arms which the late Governor b. T..
Biggs was so proud of that he was
I
der his pillow in New York.
A little maiden from San Jose, with
an Eb hageolet voice, kept the Della
ware register and as l called of the
names. told me to find them at the fol-
lowing San Francisco addresses:

chanan street.

avenue and Willow street.

After searching over the entire city

b. Heacock. Miss May Booth, Preston

their limit.
