CITY OF TENTS
GROWS LARGER
AdVentists Gathering in
Numbers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, May 30.-The Adventists
are arriving at their camp meeting
grounds by every kind of transporta-
ton, ancient and modern. Large num-
bers have come by train, others arrived
by boat this morning and during the
day several of the old-fashioned prairie
schooners brought in Jealous members
of the sect.
The meeting partakes of the nature
of the old-faShioned backwoOds gather
ing and of a modern camp. The place
is complete in all of its appointments.
The main tent is to- be lighted by cleo
tricity and nearly two thousand COM
Portable chairs are arranged around the
large platform to be occupied by the
choir, the elders and the speakers. A
baggage tent has been established and
was doing great business all day.
Hundreds of trunks and boxes, together
with every conceivable kind of baggage,
was delivered there by the transporta
tion company and later distributed
through the tented city.
A choir of seventy-fve voices selected
from the various churches of the Cali
fornia conference is being organized to
lead the singing Musical instruments
are plentiful throughout the camp. The
large tents are occupied by the confer
ence officers. the book store, the Healds-
burg College delegates and the kinder
garten for the children.
One of the most noteworthy persons
at the conference is Elder j. n. Lough-
borough, who has been identified with
the church since 1S49 and has contrib
uted a great deal to the literature of his
people.
The first service was held this even
ing and was in the nature of a prayer
meeting The 3 o'clock bell tomorrow
will really signalize the opening of the
conference.
On the morning boats large delega-
-tions will arrive from the bay cities,
where the Adventists have their largest
churches The camp and the meetings
are open to ALL but the managers of the
conference insist that every one shall
respect the regulations. Peddlers or
venders of any sort are prohibited
from entering the grounds. Tobacco,
coffee, tea or meat are not in evidence,
and it may truthfully be said that the
inhabitants of the place do not look as
though they had suffered physically by
having tabo0ed these articles. 1t is the
intention of the people to continue the
camp meeting after the expiration of
the ten days II there IS SuHlclent local
interest to justify 1t.
The conference asSemblage will be
distinct from the general camp meeting,
inasmuch as the participants will be
limited to a certain number of dele
gates from each church in good stand
ing The women are fully represented
among the lay delegates. The camp was
a surprise in size and in appointment
to the several thousand persons who
visited it O-day.

October 10.
Violation of any of the provisions of the
ordinance is made punishable by fine of
$500 or Imprisonment at the rate of one
day for each dollar of the fine.
