CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0RERS
GOING TO BALTIMORE
CALIFORNIA DELEGATION LEAVES
JUNE %
International Convention for 1907 Will
Be Invited to Come to Los Angeles
and Committee on invitation Is
Sansuine of Success

The international convention Of
Christian Endeavorers meets in Balti-
more July 5, and it is expected that
$4,000 Endeavorers will be in attend
ance.
The Los Angeles delegation, headed
by State President Leon V. Shaw and
e. C. Lyon, chairman of the '07 COM
mittee to secure the convention for
that year for Los Angeles, will leave
Wednesday morning, June 2S, and
meet the Northern California delega-
tion at Barstow and go to Baltimore
via the Santa Fe.
The California delegation has ar
ranged for a rate of one fare for the
round trip, and this rate is open to
all who desire to avail themselves of
the rate, application for tickets or in
formation being furnished by Mr..
Shaw, teller in the ladies' depart
ment of the Trust National bank.
Los Angeles in 1907
The '07 committee, composed of E.
C. Lyon, F. D. r. Moote and Paul c.
Brown, have great hopes of bringing
the convention to Los Angeles in 1907.
been in correspondence with all the
state presidents and the 100 trustees
OF the United society, urging the claims
of Los Angeles for the 1907 conven-
ton, and the responses to their ap-
peals have been so encouraging that
fha T1oitfaa will tn RaltifooOra
with the highest spirits and hopes for
success.
The selection of the next convention
place is decided by the trustees dur
ing the convention and, with the fav-
orable responses received from letters
to the trustees, and backed by the in
dorsements of several state unions at
recent conventions and executive meet
ings, it is expected that their efforts
will be rewarded with success.
The 1897 convention was held at San
Francisco and was the largest conven-
tion ever held in the state, more than
10000 delegates and visitors crossing
the Rocky mountains at that time to
attend. and the wonderful growth of
the society in the years since, togeth-
er with the attractions of Southern
California for those who have never
visited it, the committee feels that a
conservative estimate of the number
of persons who would attend the con-
vention at Los Angeles in 1907 would
be more than $4,000.
Conditions Exacted
The United society makes three de-
mands upon any city asking for the
convention, these demands being as
follows:
First. That all religious bodies in tho
city unite in the invitation and that
: the committee have the Endorsement
OF the ministerial union. the state Bap-
tist union. the State Epworth League

DEMOCRATS WOULD
WELCOME ROOSEVELT
Senator RarksdaIe Causes a sensa-
ton in the Virginia Electoral
College.

RICHMOND Va, Jan. 1.-THE
Virginia Electoral College met at
noon yesterday in the office of the
secretary of the commonwealth and
cast the vote OF the State for Parker
and Davis. Harry st. George Tuck
err was elected president of the col
lege. j. G. Hankins was chosen mes
senger to carry the returns to Wash
ington.
State Senator w. P. Barksdale, a
strong Bryanite, created sensation
by declaring in a short speech that
vote for Parker. He said that more
than 10000 Democrats of the State
had cast their ballots for him, and he
therefore bowed to their will.
eff it was safe Democracy" said
he, then it was insane. Eighty thou
sand people went to the pools and
voted, while 10000 resented the in
suit and management of the cam
paign by the men who had four years
ago turned their faces on Bryan.
Mr.. Barkedale did not say that he
would vote for Roosevelt, but did say
that Roosevelt was fast becoming q
good Democrat, and that if he came
further down the road the Democrats
would gladly name him as their stan
dard-bearer. For one, the speaker
would welcome the President into
Democratic ranks

NOVEL PRO JECT FOR
TIE INAUGURAL lion
Scheme for Monster Stand Instead
of Number on the Avenue.

WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-THE in
augural committee have a novel
scheme for the benefit Of the public
on Inauguration day. At past inaugu-
rations It has been the custom to-
line Pennsylvania avenue with stands
from which the public could view the
parade escorting the President from
the Capitol to the White House.
While these stands were authorized
by the inaugural committee, who
sold the right to private parties, the
latter charged fabulous prices for in
ferior seats and the public was Meth
err comfortable nor benefited by the
erection of these stands. 1t is pro-
posed now that instead of allowing
the avenue to be dishgured by col
lection of unsightly wooden struc-
lures. the committee itself erect an
immense stadium or amphitheater
around the park south of the White
House. which is known as the White
Lot. 1t is proposed that after the
parade has marched up Pennsylvania
avenue to the Treasury, that instead
VI WIuulilS us way UP FlIlSSHIh SlASeI
to the avenue in front of the White
House, it shall turn at Fifteenth
street down Executive avenue, into
the White Lot. and pass around the
great circle there, and thence up
Madison Place and Seventeenth
street to the avenue, where it will be
dismissed. This plan will do away
with the stands on the avenue In
front of the White House. where the
President and Cabinet usually review
the parade. and in its place portion
of the great amphitheater will be as
signed to the President and the Off
Gals. from which they will view the
parade as it passes.

NOTHING BUT SALT, WILL MAKE
TIE SIDEWALKS SO they
CAN BE USED.

There is quite a market just now
for. coarse salt ON account of the con-
dition of the sidewalks Also the
fruit dealers and merchants who re-
ceiYe goods packed in this stuff find
ready sale for it. The sidewalks have
been in a fearful condition all day
and to prevent accidents something
has to cover the ice. The Jealous
ones who shove1ed the snow from
their walks are extremely sorry now
that they did so for the ones that are
still covered with the beautiful are
in much better shape than the ones
upon which the rains descend and
form a solid coating of ice.
Last winter the city was in about
the same condition only worse If that
be possible. At that, time the mer-
chants sold out all the coarse salt in
stock and the supply of table salt
was greatly reduced all because pc.
destrians had to be protected. Should
the weather turn colder the city will
be in terrible condition and the res
fdents compelled to wear skates. OF
course the small boy is in his glory
