IT UROCGHT A BLESSING.
Clirisilun Endeavor Convention a Memo
rable One.
San Francisco, July 13. "The Interna
tional Christian Endeavor convention of
lssT will pass Into history as In some re
siects the greatest nnd most memorable
of nil Its fifteen predecessors. An at
tendance of more than -HUM), a registra
tion of over 2K.iX actual Christian En
dcavorers. Is equal to an attendance of
Si.tM) In uny large Eastern city, when
we remember that half of the attendants
crossed the Rocky mountains In order to
reach the convention.
"Hut bitter far than numbers and
more worthy of note was the spirit of
the convention, its earnestness, is genu
ine rill-;, Is high spiritual quality. It
brought a hles.dng to California: ll will
leave a blessing behind It, and nil the
delegates will take a blessing home with
' them as they scatter to the remotest
parts of the world. Francis E. Clark,
president."
The aljove message, written for the
Asscekited Press by the founder of the
Christian Endeavor movement, concisely
sumniariies the work of the convention.
Today many of the delegates departed
to their homes, and many more will
depart tomorrow. A large proportion of
thtf strangers, however, will visit various
point of Interest before returning to
to their homes.
THE Nl'iiBER.
Christina Undeavorers In Sun Francisco
Up in the Thousands.
San Francisco, July 13. At length It
Is possible to state with a close upproa?h
to exactitude how many delegates at
tended the Christian Endeavor eoi ven
tlon. The reristratlon committer has
made a report by states and count!?
of the number of people registered. The
total number of people from other states,
territories and foreign countries In at
tendance is 11,224. From California Uw
registration is 12.6M. making a total of
23,918.
From these figures It will be seen that
tho actual attendance upon the oonven
tlo.i Is surprisingly close to the advance
estimates thnt were made.
Outside of California the biggest del
egation was from Illinois, that state
sending 1.0SJ, Iowa being next, Penn
s-ylvnnla third, followed by Ohio, Mia
sourl and Massachusetts In the order
named.
It Is Interesting to note that the women
from all places outside of this Btate
were almost twice as numerous as the
men, the figures being:
Women. 7,447; men, 3.747.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Republicans Miet In Detroit and Are Full
of Enthusiasm.
Detroit, July U The National Repub-ll.-t-i
League convention opened today
with a fair attendance of delegates for an
off year In politics. Nearly all the states
are ivpreenied, although the quota of
d"tiates are small In several instances.
Tlx' absence of party leaders who are
prominently Identified with the adminis
trative and legislative departments of the
national ami state governments Is a
conspicuous feature. The assemblage
comprise chley the younger members of
the party, who. while they have not at
tained eminence In political life, have
plenty of enthusiasm and energy. The
partisanship of the league was Illustrated
in the fact that Mayor Maybury, a dem
ocrat, was not Invited to offer a welcome
lo the delegates, Colonel H. M.DuffieKl
having been selected Instead by the local
committee.
MISTAKE IN THE BULLET.

carried out faithfully and aroused loud
applause, which was turned to lamenta
tion whtn It was discovered that Single
ton was really dead. The pistol Brown
used, which was supposed to be loaded
with blank cartridges, carried a real bul
let Instead.

of Colonel C, F. Crocker, vice-president

hopefulness runs through all that is said
