A Rush Of Travel Promised for
- July. 1901.

T. II. Goodman. general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific. received
a telegram yesterday containing news
which will be of great interest to all
classes of business men in this city. 1t
came from Assistant General Passen-
ger Agent Horsburgh who is now in
Indianapolis, and contained the info--
nation that through the efforts of the
delegates from this State and Mr.
Horsburgh. the Epworth League Con-
vention, which will be held some time
in July, 1901, had been secured for this
city.
Francisco will receive in tn neighbor-
hood of $4,000 visitors, many of whom
have never before been within 2onD
miles of Pacific tide water.
Mr.. Horsburgh left for Indianapolis,
where the general meeting of the Ep
worth League delegates was being
held, to decide on where to hold their
convention, for the purpose of assisting
to secure the next one for San Fran
cisco. Yesterday a straw vote was
taken and the returns showed an al
most unanimous prediction for the
city by the Golden Gate.
IOIeSSOl DpIInSCl, w ~ 10 OilC VI liz
committee having the detail matter in
charge, and who is now here with the
National Educationists, said yesterday
that the final vote would be taken
Wednesday next and would of a surety
result in confirming the straw vote of
the meeting in Indianapolis yesterday
The Southern Pacific offered as an in
ducement, through Mr. Horsburgh a
round trip rate of $50 from all Missouri
River points. This is just one-half the
regular rate and $40 less than one-half
the regular siXty-day stOp-over round
trip fare. Through arrangements with
the roads east of the Missouri a like
reduction will be made, which will al
low the tourist to attend the conven-
ton from any part of the United States
at one-half or less than one-half of
what he would be forced to pay under
ordinary circumstances.
Four trains containing thirty-four
officers and 97S men of the Nineteenth
Infantry will arrive in the city this
evening from Fort Meade. The troops
are en- route for Manila. Though they
are expected to arrive this evening it
Is possible they will not be disembarked
before Monday next.
Yesterday morning the Passenger
Traffic Agents Association had its reg
ular weekly meeting. Agent Stern of
the Canadian Pacific announced his in
tention of resigning, as he had been in
formed that the association had been
organized in violation of the interstate
commerce law. He has as yet. how
ever. taken no official steps to sever
his connection with the association.
At the Phelan building there is now
being held a conference between the
officials of the Southern Pacific and
delegates representing a large number
of its employees. The conference has for
its object the preparation of a schedule
OF wages and working hours which will
be acceptable both to the employers and
the employed.

BRILLIANT MIND OF
TIE GREAT ORATOR

Colonel IngersOll's Orations are regard
ed as gems Among the most beautiful
was tribute at the funeral of his
brother. Ebon Ingersoll, who died in 1879
1t was his demise that brought forth that
celebrated and exquisite eulogy that has
been considered the greatest burst OF ten
der eloquence since Shakespeare's speech
of Marc Antony over the body Of Julius
Caesar. The eulogy reads:
My Friends: I am going to do that
which the dead often promised he would
do for me The loved and loving brother,
husband. father, friend died where man
hoods morning almost touches noon. and
while the shadows still were falling to-
ward the west. He had not passed on
lfe's highway the stone that marks the
highest point, but being weary for a mo-
nent he lay down by the wayside and
using his burden for a pillow fell into
that dreamess sleep that kisses down his
eyeHds stin. While yet in love with life
and raptured with the world he passed
to silence and pathetic dust. Yet, after
all. II may be best just in the happiest
sunniest hour OF all the voyage, while
eager winds are kissing every sail, to
dash against the unseen rock and in an
instant hear the pillows roar a sunken
ship. For, whether in midsea or among
the breakers of the further shore, a
wreck must mark at last the end of each
/ and all And every life, no matter if its
every hour is rich with love and every
moment jeweled with a joy will, at its
close, become tragedy. as sad. and deep
and dark as can be woven of the warp
! and woof of mystery and death This
brave and tender man in every storm
of life was oak and rock but in the sun
shine he was vine and flower He was
the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed
the heights and left all superstitfons far
below while on his forehead fell the
golden dawning of a grander day He
loved the beautiful, and was with color
form. and music touched to tears He
sided with the weak, and with a willing
hand gave aims; with loyal heart and
with the purest hand he faithfully dis
charged all public trusts. He was wor-
shipper Of liberty and a friend of the op-
pressed A thousand times l have heard
him quote the words: For justice all
place a temple and all season summer
He believed that happiness was the only
good, reason the only torch, justice the
only worshiper, humanity the only re-
ligiou, and love the priest.

SUMMIT OF MAUNA LOA BY NIGHT.


Southerly winds and extremely hot
weather prevailed for two days before
