Lights were put out and windows were broken until Corant, seeing but one way to save his property, took his revolver and fired into the drunken mob. In less time than it takes to tell the story there was nothing in sight but the victorious proprietor and the wrecked interior of the restaurant. Although Corant cannot givethe names of the men who started the trouble he knows them by sight and will swear out John Doe warrants for their arrest this morning. Dredging for the Big Ferry. The raiiroad company has been com- pelled to dredge a channel the entire length of the pier in West Oakland in or- r to sufficient water at high tide to at the big ferry steamer Solano into her berth at the West Oakland yards, where she is to be repaired. The Solano was built sixteen years ago yards and on the very ways which now being ed to hold her., She will have a thorough overhauling during the next two mon The steamer will be hauled up the ways by the use of twelve immense coils of rope winding around as many capstans, while on the lower side will be numberless hy- draunlic jacks, giving 'their united force against the vessel to_help her on her jour- ney up the ways. The ropes above will cost §2400. The estimated weight of the big boat is 4000 tons without her side wheels, Serious Charges Made. In October last H. H.

N, Fowler, who, as a former partner in the business, had that much due him ater selling out to Schrader. There was also against Fowler a note of §250, which he had indorsed. This was secured by another note indorsed by L N. Chapman. Now Fowler objects to the discharge of his former partner as an insolvent. He thinks there is something wrong, and has filed an affidavit setting forih charges which will compel an investigation into Schrader’s business affairs. He charges that the latter falsified the accounts of the business and neglected to keep proper records. Fowler m;kes general charges of fraud, but does not specify the particulars upon which he bases his accusations. Liberty for One Day. Mrs. Johanna McAvoy, whose home is on Union street, Berkeley, was examined by the Insanity Commissioners Saturday was released from custody, it appearing that the insanity was due to drink and that when not under the influence of iiquor she was all right. ‘When Mrs. McAvoy was released she re- turned to Berkeley and proceeded to burn all the furniture and bed clothing in the house, saving to her neighbors that the spirits had instructed her to do so. She was taken back to the County Jail last night in an aimost nude condition and was 50 viol that it required the combined sul-fng h of three men to place her ina cell.

Timely notice was given of the proposed free delivery, and those occupy- | ing residences which are not properly | numbered will have to suffer the inconven- | ience of going to the postoffice for their mail until the matter is attended to. For the present there will be but one delivery a | day, but in the near future it is intended to | have two daily, one in the morning and the other toward evening. Only two car- | riers have been employed thus far, but it | the work is found to be too much for them, | a larger force will be engaged. !

At Emmanuel Baptist Church, Bartlett | street, Rev. J. George Gibson last evening | gave the first of five sermons on the ‘“‘Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Just be- fore the sermon Dr. Gibson sang a tenor solo—*“0 Lilies, So Fresh and So Fair.”’ The preacher said : ““We shall call the sermon to-night ‘The ! Two Journeys’—going from home and re- turning home. First, there is the prod- | igal’s home. This father represents God. Jesus loved the idea of the fatherhood of | God. He told men they had wandered from God, but he never did tell them that | their wandering had made God cease to be their father. The younger son may repre- ent the Jew or the Gentile. The point is not worth discussing. The main idea is | that every wanderer may return to God | and find a welcome. Secondly, look at the boy’s departure, He was a yeunger son. Younger sons are oiten spoiled. Parents lavish too much kindness on them. They become restless. The history of the race is just the history of the younger son. Man was the youngest child of God’s family. This is not the story of any particular man, but of eyery man. ‘He gathered all together.’ He wanted to be rich before he started. He | was foolish. He might have leit something | behind as an excuse for returning if he did not succeed. He left, ‘not many days aiter.” He had gotten his own way and he was going to take his own time. He was in a fearful hurry to leave, yet for a | day or two he assumed an air of indiffer- | ence. Some youngz men can do this to perfection. To wander belongs to the | prodigal’s nature, and whether it is slow |or fast depends upon the amount of g{lensure it gives. Perhaps he hesitates. e has come to the parting of the ways. Which way will he take? The way that leads to license or to self-restraint? He decides. He turns his back on his father. He takes what he wanted—freedom. In bis excitement he went on and on, He soon got to his Purney's end. “Thirdly, look at his return. ‘He arose.’ He had been dreaming. He started up. A new motive comes to him. He looks | around, shakes bimself and ceases to be a fool. He arose to be the devil's master instead of his slave. He was wise. He put his desires into action. There was enough of manhood in him to carry out his decision when} he made it. Oh, that the men of to-day were as wise. Mere de- sire_does not count for anything till we put it into action. It is the getting up and going in the right direction that proves we are no longer prodigals. What shall I say toget you to arise? Arise and leave your bad companions. Arise and throw aside | the evil and secret habits that are de- grading your life. 1 plead with you. Take the first step now. The success or failure of the future may be gathered up into your present action. Arise, ari %ust make one move. The greatest difficulty will be conguered if youarise. Pullup the anchor to-night. Better drift out to sea and be wrecked seeking for the horizon than stay in the plague-stricken harbor. Better die on the dusty road with your face toward heaven than be buried amoni,' the riches in which swine delight. Hell wants you to stay where you are; heaven wants you to arise. Devils want you to be a slave; angels want you to be a free man.” The training ; s - THE SOCIETTES. INCREASING ACTIVITY THE FEA- TURE IN MOST OF THE FRA- TERNAL ORDERS. ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY.

The various courts have added to their membership, notwitbstanding the fact that the majority of the residents of the several towns are engaged in field work.

In times past there has not been a very friendly feeling existing between San Fran- cisco and the interior of the State, but the unfriendliness was a forced condition and not a natural one. When C. M. Short- ridge assumed the management of the CALL he announced that it would be his en- deavor to bring the metropolis and the country closer together, to cultivatea more friendly feeling and eventually get them where they should be—shoulder to shoul- der and working unitedly with a harmony of purpose and concert of action for the eneral advancement and prosperity of the tate. The proprietor of l:he CaLw is re- deeming his pledge and has done much al- ready to unite city and country. About the first act of Mr. Shortridge was to ex- tend recognition to the country press. The CALL is setting the pace for its metropolitan contemporaries amf they must get a move on if they have any desire to keep up with the procession. L TRULY JOURNALISTIC. San Francisco Journal of Commeree. The Carr under its new management is not only fulfilling all of the promises that it made when Editor Shortridge took the belm, but it is surpassing every expecta- tion that it gave the public to look forward to. The paper is now bright, newsy, clean and wholesome. The columns of no paper in the United States are better filled with the solid meat of news than those of the Carr. Editor Shortridge merits the con- gratulations as well as the thanks of the public ior(gublishing a journal on truly Journalistielines. The work that is being done in behalf of the public weal is deserv- ing of more than passing commendation. We predict a brilliant future for the paper. The management has started off with its right foot first, and, if we can judge the future by the past, its motto will be *‘For- ward.”” Editor Shortridge, we take off our hats as we wish you success. . A GOOD EXAMPLE. Los Angeles Times. The San Francisco Cann, which has livened up considerably under its new management, announces that it will not publish any advertisements of lotteries. he CaLL very properly says that these schemes are fakes of the worst kind; that their existence is a violation of law ; that the law is a just one,and that it deserves the support of every decent citizen and every legitimate newspaper. It would be a good thing if some other newspapers in this State which lay claim to decency and respectability would follow the example of the CaLL. A loftery is the most danger- ous kind of gambling device, because it places the opportunity for gumbliug at every fireside where & newspaper w ich contains advertisements of the lottery is read. e THE JUMBO FRAUD. Newman Banner. The S8an Francisco CaLL has taken an- othe forward step in the direction of legiti- mate journalism. Henceforth it will elim- inate from its columns all lottery adver- tisements and_lists of lottery drawings. Of all the frauds of the age in “sure-shot’’ gambling, the lottery fraud is the Jumbo of them all, for it reaches all kinds and conditions of people, and under the allur- ing promises of prizes that never come, ex- tracts the money from the pockets of its dupes, whose name is legion. We heartily indorse the course of the CALL in this step toward clean journalism and trust that its laudable example will be followed by the other metropolitan papers and the interior press. e THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Escondido Times. The San Francisco CaLy is strongly ad- vocating the holding of the next Republi- can National Convention in that city, and back up its advocacy by offering to con- tribute $5000 toward the expenses. If San Francisco will arise from its silurianism it ought to get the convention as easily as di(fMixmeapolis two years ago. The bene- fits that would accrue therefrom, not only to San Francisco and this coast, but to the whole West, are apparent to all. Let San Francisco and the whole State put its shoulder to the wheel and help push the car for the National Convention started by the enterprising proprietor of the Carw. e R e KNOWS HIS BUSINESS, San Andreas Citizen. The San Francisco CALw has abolished and condemns that old eyesore chestnut— the coupon fake. Itis a very commenda- ble move on the Cary's part and should have been done long ago by all the metro- politan journals. The ~CarL also an- nounces that no more lottery advertise- ments or other fakes will appear in its columns. Mr, C. M. Shortridge evidently knows his business and knows what people expect and want from the daily press of San Francisco—a good, clean, newsy pa- per—and he is giving it to them in a man- ner that they will certainlg a})precmte, and that he can justly be proud of. e CLEAN JOURNALISM. Tres Pinos Tribupe: The San Francisco Carr has decided to make another move in the right direction in clean journalism by refusing henceforth to uhlis{z the accounts of lottery drawings and similar ‘‘fake” schemes, and in fact “fake” matter of any description. In ad- hering to this principle the CaLL will gain many supporters throughout the State, and will be recognized as a newspaper that can with propriety be introduced into the homes of our best families. In publishing all the “news,”” and that only, 1t will not be long before the CALL will leave its com- petitors far behind. e ‘22 AN ADMIRABLE POLICY. Kern County Echo. The San Francisco Call under its new management, realizing the importance of the relations between San Francisco and the State at large, began and is carrying out an admim%le policy in exerting so much effort to correctly express the senti- ments and wishes of ‘the interior of the State. On the proposed line of the valley railre it has done much missionary work and has thmufh its_columns given voice {o the ideas and needs of the people of the whole S8an Joaquin Valley. R R R ONE OF THE BEST. Zodi Budger. The San Francisco CALn, under the able management of Charles Shortridge, has done away with all the lottery features of the paper, adopted a new series of splen- didly set heads, and is now one of the prettiest, best-edited and Snappy papers on the coast. Lalis L THE LEADING NEWSPAPER. San Diego Vidette. The San Francisco CALL is now the lead- ing newspaper of the West. Its circula- tion in San Diego has trebled the past two Wgeks.

His strong blows for San Francisco have al- ready turned the attention of the country | to the Golden Gate city. i R QUIT “KEEPING SHOP.” Rediands Citrograph. The new CALL, since coming into the hands of Charles Shortridge, has had not only a new life, but a new kind of a new life, infused into it. It has brought the energy of youth to bear on its old-fash- ioned platitudinous columns, and the re- sult is the discarding of all the old fake methods used by its contemporaries, and it relies on impartial reports of all news | matters, disdaining all fiurbleq local and news reports. It has also quit “keeping shop' in giving brass watches, glass-set rings and all such “truck’” in attempting to boom circulation. ABOUT THE ON LY ONE. 2foreno Indicator. Under the new regime the San Francisco CALL is rapidly assuming the position of a legitimate newspaper—about the only one in that city. It Ems gone out of the coupon business, and announces that it no longer deals in red heifers, books, bicycles or doll buggies. There is room in San Francisco for a great daily, and the Carn is rapidly filling that genuine need. Ll LEGITIMATE JOURNALISM. Berkeley Advocate. The Morx1NG CALL has taken the stand | that a newspaper is a newspaper and a me- dium for the d‘;sseminuzion ot information about the people and things which are around it. The best way to advance the interests of the State is to stimulate its people to activity in developing its re- sources, and the CarL in following thi plan}wifil accomplish a great deal for Cali- fornia. e GIVES ALL THE NEWS, Bridgeport Chronicle Union.

T INDEPENDENT AND CLEAN. Vacaville Reporter. The San Francisco CALL gives proof of its intention to be independent and clean by refusing to advertise lotteries or other known swindles,and also massage ‘‘artists” or other indecent advertisements so com- monly seen in the dailies. It will be the paper for the family to read. e e ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE BEST. Hanford Democrat. The San Francisco CALL is now acknowl- edged to be the best daily paper publshed in San Francisco.

Higgins delivered his fifth lecture last night in the series on Sweden- borg at the Swedenborgian Church, on O'Farrell street, near Webster. The sub- ject was: “Swedenborg’s Service to Psy- chology.” Mr. Higgins said: “The one object which characterized Swedenborg’s scientific and philosophic investigations was the quest of the soul; and it is interesting to note in this conmec- tion the striking coincidence of Sweden- borg’s researches in this direction with those of Aristotle,whom Swedenborg speaks of as the chief philosopher of the gentiles. The coincidence was not so much in the similarity of their contents—although this was striking—as in the similarity of their methods. Both used the experimental method, and this led them into similar paths of investigation. Swedenborg thus, as no other writer, deserves the proud title of the Aristotle of Modern Philosophy. ‘‘Swedenborg began his search for the soul with a careful study of mathematics, chemistry and metallurgy, and thence pro- gressed through every region of science, iving particular attention finally to human anatomy. He recognized that no degree of theorizing and supposition was equivalent to one clearly demonstrated fact. And so he sought to learn all there was to be learned about the soulin her roper kingdom, which was the human Eod . _Accordingly, after having mast- ered the various sciences he comes to the theme, first of the economy of the animal kingdom, as it is called, but whose name should be economy of the kingdom of the anima or soul. Then, when a fur- ther progress had been made he ‘Animal Kingdom, or properly ¢ of the Anima.” “In this investigation in search of the soul by the aid of science, Swedenborg did not, however, discover the soul itself, but he did discover its method of operating upon or into the body, and also that there was a correspondence between natural and spiritual things. Just what it was that corresponds he did not by the aid of science discover. This was claimed, revealed to him from heaven. But the fact that the correspondence ex- | isted became very plain to him before his illumination, and prepared him for the great work he afterward performed as a theological writer and expounder of the srirituul sense of the Bible, which, he de- clares, is written according to the law of correspondences between the natural and spiritual world. “With a knowledgé gained from the mastery of every science, he became the world’s spiritual Moses to lead humanity out of its Egyptian bondage to supersti- tion and the fear of death into the knowl- edge that death isa step in life. But all his natural sciences had first to be illu- minated by a mfi" science, even revela- tion from the Lord himself and by the opening of his spiritual sight and hearing before he could understand just what the soul was. When this revelation came to him then he was able to serve psychology as no other mdn has done, by showing that the human soul or spirit is a spiritual body in the human form,and that by corre- spondence it dwells in and animates the natural body, while the latter lives, and that the spirit of man is such a perfectly organized body in the human form that when the natural hody dies the spirit will never again need its mimstrations.” ——————— TO SAVE YOUR DOLLARS, if you need an efficient Cough Remedy, buy Dr. D.

PROPOSED PLAN OF CAMPAIGN OF THE MANUFACTURERS' CON- VENTION. INTEREST TO BE AROUSED. THE PeoPLE WILL BE ASKED TO Co-OPERATE—COUNTY ORGAN- IZATION. All the preliminary arrangements for. the manufacturers’ convention, which will meet to-morrow, are now well in hand, and when the session is called to order no time will be lost in proceeding strictly to business. Several meetings of the advisory come mittee were held during the past week, and the main feature of the convention was arranged in detail. This was the ap- pointment of the committee of seven to devise a plan of action whereby the con- vention could act decisively upon the sube ject of encouraging California industries, and also to report upon some consistent method of perpetuating the work of the | convention after that body had adjourned. In speaking of this matter Secretary M. M. Barnet, who has_been untiring in his efforts toward making the convention a success, said: “A great deal will depend on the plan of campaign which is adopted by the conven- tion. The general scope of the convention will be to discuss_all the industries of the State in their various phases with the view of ascertaining how they can be combined as to individual and firm interests. It will in fact be a co-oporation of separate interests. The discus- sion between representatives of these industries and manufacturers will beyond doubt broaden the views of all concerned, but more than that is desired. *‘A practical plan must be decided upon whereby mutual interests will receive mutual and permanent benefits. It will rest with the campaign committee to su gest ideas with this jurpose in view. Eac] one of the seven will prepare views of his own which will be amalgamated into one report for submission to the convention. ““The main point will be to bind all man- ufacturers throughout the State together in such a way that they will present a solid front in_behalf of home productions and against imported wares and materials. To do this the report will recommend that the State aid the manufacturers by seeing to it that all supplies for State institutions and used for State purposes are of home make, Also that the State assist any proposed new, industry with a bonus and any other possible support. “In addition to this-the manufacturers must by some means arouse the people— the great mass of consumers—to the neces- sity of aiding the movement by Eutromz- ing only home manufacturers. They must | be brought to realize that it is upon them that the success of this movement depends. To do this the interior press will be asked to give as much publicity to the aims and proposed benefits of the convention as ossible and so arouse the people to the importance of our movement. ‘‘Another measure which may be adopted will be the formation of executive circles, as it were, in the various counties which will look after the interests of their imme- diate sections and their needs. It will rest with these different bodies to keef) the people interested in the plan and also to settle any differences which may arise b tween manufacturers on an equitable sis. The main body will, of course, be San Francisco, but the interior circle could have their representation and rights. ““These are some of the main features of the plan of campaignand permanent good which will be suEmmed as I have gathered them from talking with some of the mem- bers of the committee.” From advices received nearly all the in- terior counties will be represented at the convention. The secretary has stacks of letters which he has received from the in- terior, and they show that considerable en- thusiasm has been aroused in the conven- tion. The recegtion rooms at the Grand Hotel will be thrown open promptly at 9 o’clock and members of the reception com- mittee will beon hand to welcome the first of the delegates who arrive. Every prep- aration has been made to make the incom- ing delegates as comfortable as possible.
