 sos Broadway, June 30. The delegates from Alameda County who went to the State Christian Endea- Vor convention at Los Angeles are re- turning and they tell with great pride of how they "did politics" in the southern city and succeeded in capturing the State convention for Oakland in 1899
 The Alameda delegation staked it's chances of success upon the probability that Los Angeles would be suffering from hot wave at the time of her convention. The prognostication proved to be correct. for all the delegates in the City of the Angels sweltered from the time they ar- rived until they departed, with the excep- ton of about half an hour one evening. It was during that half hour that Ala meda won its fight.
 Before leaving Oakland, st the sugges- ton of George P. Lowell, who reaped his personal reward by being elected State president of the society, a thousand fans were acquired, upon which was printed, Oakland wants the convention 3n '99''
 When the first breath of hot air swept over the convention hall Oakland dele S. Chapman and MT. Lowell, proceeded to distribute the fans. The gift was most welcome and everybody was made aware at one move that Oakland was in the field.
 The evening before the session at which the place of holding the next convention was to be decided the Alameda delegation acquired a church and announced a re- ception. EndeaVorers are much given to receptions and on this hot southern Cali fornia night the willy Alamedans invested in many gallons of ice-cream. The scheme

She declares that their ranch was eighteen miles from any other house, and that her husband was frequently away for months at time and also that he placed young Millen, whom he afterward shot. on the ranch for the purpose of looking after 1t during his absence. She repudi- ates all his charges and asserts that all she has done is to prevent her children being taken from her. The decree of di- vorce awards her the children and it's modification was made by the court with out her knowledge and without the talk ing of any testimony on her side.
 For these reasons and for the further reason that a Judgment In Wyoming is not binding in any other State, the case will have to be fought out: entirely on it's merits upon such testimony as can be obtained from the witnesses here and possibly from depositions that may . be taken in Wyoming. Judge Gibson is pre-. pairing to make a very stubborn fight, and with Gavin. McNab and Milton. Green appearing for Hurt, an interesting con- test is expected:

 Captain Challeston of the barkentine Ruth has had an experience with green sailors that he never wants to repeat. The vessel was chartered by the Stand ard oil Company to carry kerosene to St. Michael, and crew was procured from one of the boarding masters. All went well until the barkentine was on the bar, and then every man in the forecastle be- came fearfully eeasick. Captain Challes- ton thought this a strange sign, but said nothing, thinking that all would be well in an hour or so, when the men got their sea legs.
 Ruth got off shore it began to blow so hard that it was necessary to shorten sail. The watch was ordered aloft, but not a man Jack of them knew the way. The other watch was called, but they, if anything, knew less about ship than the men on duty. The captain was in de- spair. Sail had to be taken in, and how to do it was a conundrum. Finally he or dered one of the greenhorns to the wheel, and he, the first and second mate and the cook, went aloft to furl the sails neces- sary to put the barkentine under snug canvas. While they were aloft the green horn at the wheel let the vessel broach ing how 1t was that the Ruth was not dis masted. Finally. however, the sail was got in, and then the vessel was headed for San Francisco, where she arrived yes- terday. A Sailors Union crew has now been put aboard, and the Ruth will make another start for St. Michael to-day.
 The schooner Maxim was out In Wednesdays blew with the Ruth. She carried away her toresail and jib, and put back to port for repairs.
