address on the Subject by Presi-
dent Schad Of Capital
ia Council, No. II.

The last meeting night OF Councu LIZ
Young Mems Institute, was made MEM
osable in the annals of the Young Men
lnstitute Of this city-not alone because
1t was installation night for one OF the
councils, but because it marked the De-
shining of a new era, the first step IN
esta bhshing a permanent headquarters
reading groom and library, by Counclls
II and 81.
The installation of the newly elected
officers of No. Ill called together large
gathering of the members of that coun-
Gil, while those Of No. p had generally
accepted the cordial invitation to be
present and enjoy the good things OF
the occasion. Besides, Grand Director
John Reilley of San Francisco and Hon.
b. D. Sullivan, Assemblyman from that
city, lent enthusiasm and eloquence TO
the occasion.

On taking his chair as President, and
after few general remarks as to rou-
tine business, the President, Mr.. Schad,
delivered his inaugural address. Mr..
Schad has always been an enthusiastic
advocate Of headquarters and library
and reading room for the Young Mems
Institute in this city. That theme was
the subject Of his address, and to which
it was evident he had given much
thought. He told his fellow members
that they had failed thus far to carry
out the principal objects and aims OF
the order inasmuch as they had neg
iected to build for themselves a home, =
in which there should be a library and
reading-room to which they might re-
sort on evenings during leisure hours,
and to which they might invite visiting
members from abroad. Besides, mem
bers would find pleasure and profit
there, instead of squandering money in
public resorts that lead to dissipation.
He asserted that this long neglect al
mcst approached the criminal point.
The President was emphatic in his
declaration that there must be an i'm
mediate change in affairs, and that he
would lead in the movement with a lib
eral money subscription. He knew that
others would fall into line in the laud-
able enterprise.
The address was loudly and heartily
aIplauded, and at its conclusion the
Unanimous expression was that Presi-
dent Schad had given the first impulse
to a movement that must now assume
shape and result in the establishment
of a headquarters and library for the
Young Mems Institute in this city that
will be a credit to its founders.
z A vote of thanks was extended to the
retiring President, J. T. McNiff. which
afforded him an opportunity to deliver
a short and stirring address on the gen.
-eral good Of the order.
Grand Director John Reilly and As
semblyman E. D. Sullivan, both of San
Francisco, paid high tribute to the or
ganization in general and joined in
their exhortations to the councils of
Sacramento to unite in their efforts to
increase their membership to 500, or
even more. which could easily be done
if they but so determined. They gave
good reports from the many other coun-
ellis they had visited.
James Doody of No. p made an elo-
'quent but brief appeal to both councils
to be in reality what they are in name
a band of brothers-and complimented
the newly elected President on the good
suggestions he had made in his ad-
dress. He urged all to cooperate In
carrying out the plans proposed.
r. NJ. Clarken added his voice, saying
he had always felt that the institute is
but half organized without a place
which they and all others could recog-
nize as a headquarters, where idle mo-
nnents might be proftably spent
President Scfad had prepared boun-
teous lunch, with plenty of cigars. and
what has been dubbed "a smoker" was
enjoyed by all hands. Songs were sung
stories told and experiences inter-
changed till a late hour.
