4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1895. T0 SUPPRESS THE - OAKLAND SALOON. THE OLD TEMPERANCE BATTLE IS REVIVED WITH NEW TACTICS. ORGANIZED LABOR OPPOSES. SuppEN DEATH oF WiLLiaM M. VANCE, A PIONEER GOLD- DIGGER. a concerted movement in Oak- ng to the suppression of the saloon, and a meeting has been held at Hamilton Hall at which many organiza- tions were represented. The plan of work isnew in the temperance line and much interest was manifested at the meeting. There were present representatives of churches, W. C. T. U. organizations, Sons of Temperance, Good Templars, the Munic- ipal League, the Federated Trades and others. President L. D. Inskeep of the Municipal League was chosen chairman of the meeting. When Rev. Dr. McLean opened the meet- ing he stated that something like the plan now proposed had for a long time been thought of by him. The plan was ex- plained by Rév. William H. McDougal of San Mateo, who is the author of it. He said: “It is impossible to question that the stage to which the temperance reform has now come is gravely critical. The forces of noble impulse and moral daring have borne it to advanced ground. But there it stands repulsed. Defenses nobly won have been lost. Behind these that remain we stand with confused counsels and wa ing faith. Of the forces of insobries incomp v greatest is the drinkin; saloon. That is the foe that has beaten u bac! And w is the enemy strength—wherein o We are many—t divided—they “Itis proposed to form an order which shall be known as the Council for the Sup- pression of the Saloon and that each {;m itical, industrial, reform, religious or enevolent organization within the limits Ei .lx council may elect one member of the ody. he council shall seek by all proper means, not involving consent to the principle of license, to close saloons in a laces and_on as many hours of the | s of the year as possible in order to break the banéful political power of the saloon and tc sen }l»y proper laws its perilous social ctions, or to coun- teract those by pro ng er and unob- jectionable places of resort.” Speeches were made by many of the gentlemen present, One speaker said that in a certain saloon in Qakland he found sixteen young ladies, daughters of busi- ness men and prominent citizens. John Gelder, labor leader, who said he represented organized labor in Oakland and elsewhere, said labor could not work in harmony with a movement so narrow. “The principles of labor organizations,” he said, “are broad. They recognize the workers in breweries distilleries as brothers as much as any other craftsmen, and there are so many more important questions for labor to consider that it can- not waste its time nor divide its forces on temperance.”’ The plan was favored in speeches by Rey. ‘William Rader, Rev. Mr. Wendte, Rev. Mr. Jones, Dr. Frear, Mrs. R. R. Johnson and Mrs. Borland. The constitution of the proposed council was finally adopted by a general vote of the mee Then those not delegates withdrew, and the latter agreed to report back to their several organizations and, with fuller authority, attend another meet- ing to be held next Friday evening. The following call was i : To the presidents of reform, benevolent, industrial and political organizations, the pastors of churchies, the societies of men or of young peopie connected with the several churches: The conference held on last e mously voted that it is e: 1 for the su ing having pedient to or- ion of the A. rooms to perféct such for work.

INSKEEP, WILLIAM RADER, Chairmen. Two Sudden Deaths. W. M. Vance,a well-known character about Oakland, was found dead in his bed in his room at 1165 Broadway at noon yes Vanc ed at his usual early hour the night before and was not again seen until the time he was discovered by a friend named Pullen who led to see him. He was found in bed and it was thought he was sleeping. An autopsy showed that he died of heart trouble.’ Vance was aged about 73 years and had resided in Oakland many years, being en- gaged mostly of late years in sewer con- tracting. Vance was an Indianan by birth and crossed the plains to California in 1849, set- tling first in Paloma, %l Dorado County He engaged there in mining and the lum- ber business, Laving built the first sawmill in that part of the country. He stayed | there until 1852, when he went back Bast and returned with his wife and son. The family located in Stockton, where Vance Jity. Marshal and Tax Collector. became City His wife and child died there and Vance came to Oakland in 1870, where he has since resided, He has a niece named Madison living in Stockton and another named Hutchinson residing in Denyer. He also had relatives in Pennsylvania. Vance's body will be sent to Stockton for burial. Ann McAvoy, a woman aged 48 years, a native of Ireland, died suddenly yesterda afternoon at her home, 1322 Thirteenth avenue, where she resided with her daughter. Mrs. MecAvoy had been about her household duties as usual a short time before her death,and her daughter sent out for a physician when her mother com- glfllmd of sudden illness. Before the octor arrived the womanl was dead. The body was removed to the Morgue. Policy-Holders Are Hopeful. Three months is the time allowed by local insurance agents for the present great rate war to run its course, and meanwhile policy-holders are taking ndvanwge of the Wwholesale cutting and slashing that is go- ing on among agents, who are taking risks " at any price. There are a few conservative agents who are holding back in the struggle that do not ll:gc r anxious to mingle in the h‘a{. but others are using the knife with deadly effect, and Tom Agnews, who has the re; utation of being the greatest slasher in the State, is at the head of the army who are now in the lead. Agents who are anxious for an adjust- ment predict a hasty settlement of the existing troubles, while the other side say that lower rates than have ever been known will prevail in Oakland before the end of the difficulty is seen. His Work Is High. William J. Dabell, one of the world’s famous “steeple-jacks,” who made a repu- tion doing dangerous work on flagstaffs and high steeples at the World’s Colum- bian Exposition, has taken up his home in this city and will be engaged to paint some of the many high church-towers here. - Dabell thinks nothing of working two or three hundred feet in the air on flagstaffs two and a half inches in diameter at the top. ALAMEDA, The Citizens’ Hook and Ladder Com- pany decided at a special meeting on Saturday night to employ an attorney to look after the standing of the members of the company and their status as members of the Fire Department. i The contest of Max Gandlach against the recent re-election of F. K. Krauth Jr. has narrowed down to one point, namely, that Krauth did not receive a majority of the votes, because seventeen who cast ballots for him were not entitled to do so because they were not members of the Fire De- partment. The names of the seventeen voters chal- lenged by Gundlach will be summoned before the Trustees, and under oath asked to state whom they voted for. Whatever the result the matter will be taken into court for settlement and to make a prece- dent. It is claimed by some that the Trustees cannot order are-election, because a definite day is set by law on which the election must be held and that no other one ean be substituted. The contest presents many entangling questions, and much interest is mani- fested in the outcome. Krauth was de- clared elected by only six votes out of 160. If the seventeen which, it is said, have been voted for Krauth are thrown out, Gundlach will be declared elected Chief by a majority of eleven votes. A Boy’s Strange Death. Noble Hutton, a 14-year-old boy whose father keeps a Market at Railroad and Park avenues, met his death yesterda under peculiar circumstances. He left his home at Willows Station to catch the 5:30 broad guage local at Park street and fell near tEe train_just as it was pullin out. In falling his head strucg the side of the station building and as he laid perfectly stili, bystanders went to help him up. He was dead. It was thought at first that the car had killed him, then it was supposed that he had broken his neck. He was taken to an un- dertaking establishment, where Dr. Zeyn held an autopsy. t was ascertained that death resulted from heart disease brought on by exertion in running for the train. An Answer Filed. H. H. Schrader, the insolvent paper- hanger and decorator, has filed an answer to the affidavit of his former partner, W. W. Fowler, who made charges in opposi tion to the final discharge in the insol- vency. Schrader emphatically denies that he made fraudulent assignments of his property prior to the filing of his petition or that he falsified his books of account. Delinquent for Assessments, Two sales of property, delinquent for assessments for street opening, will be held this week. The first will be held on Wednesday for a delinquency of §2201 for the opening of Buena Vista avenue. The other will be held on Saturday for the sum of $1858 24 for the opening of Lincoln avenue. Physical Culture. Arrangements have been completed by the Board of Education to commence on the first of the month to teach physical culture to the classesof the Encinal School. Hugo Heyman, the turn leader of the Verein Germania, has been engaged as in- structor. Sixteenth Anniversary. The morning service yesterday at the Congregational Church, corner of Central avenue and Chestnut street, was commemo- rative of the sixteenth anniversary of the church. The subject chosen by Rev. Mr. Scudder for his sermon was, “The Ideal Life of the Church.” BERKELEY. The third of a series of handicap try- outs will be held at the University cinder path next Wednesday afternoon. Since the captain and manager for the Eastern trip have been selected and definite lines of work decided upon the athletes have en- tered into the work of training with new energy and a greater determination of getting into good condition by the time the team is ready for the Eastern trip. Notes. Louis F. Post, a well-known writer on “Single Tax,” will lecture before the class in elementary political economy at the University to-day at 1 o’clock. At 1:550 he will speak to the class in finance and taxation on the subject of “Land Values and the Unearned Incre- ment.”” President Kellogg and Professors Brad- ley, Jones, Stringham and Clapp will leave for Loss Angeles this evening to_attend the meeting of the Southern California Teachers’ Association, to be held there the latter part of this month. The report that the Berkeley Daily Ad- vocate did not come out on the 21st inst. was not_true. The paper mentioned did appear, but not at the usual time. TORULETHE NEW HOSPITAL LIVELY MEETING OF THE FRENCH MUTUAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. THE HospPITAL MANAGEMENT WILL PROBABLY BE MATERIALLY CHANGED. TUnion-square Hall was well filled yester- day afternoon by members of ‘the Celtic race, the occasion being the annual meet- ing and election of the board of directors of the French Mutual Benevolent Society. The most important business, aside from the election of directors, was the consid- eration of a revised code of by-laws which had been prepared and submitted by a committee of six members appointed for that purpose. The new code differs from the urd one chiefly in respect to the medi- cal staff of the French Hospital. The new by-laws provide as follows: The medical staff of the hospital shall be: First—A physician residing in the hospjtal, who shall go selected by the board of directors, which also shall determine the amount of his remuneration; also two assistants, without ay. - D tona A physician_practicing at the hospi- tal at $100 a month, who shall be selected by the board of directors. This physician shall also treat members of the society at his office for two hours each afternoon except Sunday. Third—A surgeon and so many specialists as the board of directors may deem necessary, to be selected by the directors and to serve with- out pay. Fourth—A physician selected by members of the society, who shall exclusively visit them at their homes, his pay to be $300 a month and $250 a mouth after three consecutive years of ervice. Fifth—An oculist and an aurist to be chosen by members of the society at saiaries of $75 a month. They shall treat the members at their offices as well as at the hospital. ixth—Two druggists selectéd by. the di- rs. venth—A dentist selected by the directors, who shall extract gratuitously the teeth of members of the society. The directors shall designate the amount to be allowed him for each extraction. On this subject matter-there was a lively debate, and the oratory grew very warm and fervid at times, thou, no special ex- citement was manifested. Finally, how- ever, the revised by-laws were adopted, with the exception of the paragraph con- cerning a resident physician, which was left to the discretion of the board of di- rectors. The annual report of the work of the society was submitted. Accompanying it was a report of the building committee. It showed that §177,749 05 has been spent on the new hospital as follows: Construc- tion $153,114 79, interior finish $10,331 76, gfirggn and grounds $5791, sundries $8,- The new hospital, which is situated at the corner of Point Lobos and Fifth avenues, is nearly ready for occupanc and it is expected that the removal wm take place either in May or in June. There were twenty-five candidates for places on the board of directors. As there are only fifteen of these the disappointed ones were numerous. The successiul can- didates were: A. L. Auradou, P. A. Ber- gerot, L. Carraine, I. Cuenin, J. Des- champa,EF. Fagothey, A. meemk N. P Lonspy. . Messager, A, Oreion‘ P. Roberr, B. Sarthou, A. Schmidt, E. Verdier and Sylvain Weill. KIND WORDS FROM * CONTEMPORARIES. WHAT THE PRESS OF THE COAST THINK OF THE NEW *CALL." UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PRAISE. TuHEy CoMMEND ITs PoLICY AND Praise ITs EFFORTS To BUILD Up THE COAST. LOGICAL, ENERGETIC, PATRIOTIC. Architect and Builder. California people seem to be getting their eves open after a long sleep. The valley road is rapidly approaching a reality. The Business Men’s Association have done a great amount of quiet work that is just beginning to be felt. The Five Hundred Thousand Club is doing good work. The Union for Practical Progress is doing a great deal toward the solution SF otk foF i the KDty pRoBlans" ettt times. John M. Reynolds is working hard to bring the unemployed within the reach of the employer. One of the greatest factors in this effort to revive the business of the coast is the Canr. It ignores fakes and grumbling, and all their energy is directed toward the building up of the country. The CALL is without doubt destined to become the leading paper on this coast. 1t deals with the great ques- tions of advancement in a logical, ener- etic, patriotic way that shows a brain fiackiug not to be underestimated. Do ey SHOULDER TO SHOULDER. Stockton Record. 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 €ary he announced thatit would be his endeavor to bring the metropolis and the country closer together, to cultivate a more friendly feeling and eventually get them where they should be—shoulder to shoulder, and working unitedly with a harmony of pur- pose and concert of action for thé general advancement and prosperity of the State. The proprietor of the CALL is redeeming his pledge and has done much already o unite city and country. About the first act of Mr. Shortridge was fo extend recog- nition to the country press. The CaLL setting the pace for its metropolitan con- temporaries and they must get a move on if they have any desire to keep up with the procession. e STRUCK THE KEYNOTE, ZBakersfield Californian. The San Francisco CaLL is setting the press of the city a good example in its ‘‘make-up.” It evidently believes that the relative importance of news to the Califor- nia reader is city news first, State next, coast nex, national next and foreign last of all. Consequently the paper is now made up in that way. While all foreign news of importance is given, it is condensed just as the average reader wants it, and the near- by happenings are enlarged upon. The average San Francisco editor appears to think that news is of importance in propor- tion to its cost, and he will throw out im- portant State news which costs little to ob- tain and give place to columns of foreign ‘‘rot” of no earthly importance, simply be- cause it is ‘‘cable’” and costs lots of money. We believe the CALL has struck the key- note, however, and that the public will ap- prove its new departure. Indeed, the pubIlllc has already done so. AR “An Intelligent Leadership. Stockton Bait. Under its new management the Morning CaLL has undertaken an intelligent press leadersbip in the advocacy of many re- forms for the regenecration of San Fran- cisco. It has up to date done nothing bet- ter than its expose of the professional mendicants who infest, nearly every street corner in the retail quarter of the city. For years these repulsive exhibits of maimed and deformed eumanity have been aliowed in violation of law toincumber the side- walks. Many of them, as is well known to old-timers, are owners of property which they have accumulated by begging. It is the visitors from the country and from the East who are deceived by these impudent mendicants into contributing toward their support. If the CALL succeeds in breaking up the entire gang and in sending its mem- bers to the Almshouse or to the County Jail, much will have been accomplished in making San Francisco a pleasanter place for visitors than it is to-day. e EXCEPTING THE ¢CALL.” Alameda Argus. What San Francisco needs more than anything else to ‘rehabilitate herself is a truthful, candid and decent press. Ex- cepting the CALL, which has lately turned over a new leaf, the leading papers in their treatment of important Pacitic Coast in- terests are flippant, mendacious, malicious or venomous, as the private or personal interests of the men who control t! dic- tate. Not a single important matter that comes up is tren%ed candidly and honestly. No wonder that people in the East eye us askance. No wonder they gain the im- pression that we are a ccmmunity of rowdies and robbers, where property is in jeopardy and life unsafe. ?t as about come to pass that cities and communities are justified in holding indignation meet- ings to denounce and protest against their undoing by the newspapers. Sl TO BE COMMENDED. Benicia New Era. The CALL is to be commended in many ways, but principally for its attitude to- ward the country and the country press, which heretofore have received little or no recognition at the hands of the metropoli- tan papers. In theissue of the 11th inst., the write-up of Benicia, her resources, manufacturing interests, business men and their establishments, and our welfare in general, was excellent, and fully ap- reciated by every citizen of this city. Tuly, it must be gratifying to Editor Shortridge to see the results that his stand fer the welfare of the State are bringing him and his journal. Since its change in ownership, the Carr’s circulation in this city has been more than doubled. e THE BEST PAPER NOW. Porterville, Enterprise, If any %aper deserves praise it isthe CALL of San Francisco. From the time that Charles Shortridge became proprietor a marked improvement has been noticeable, both in the make-up of the paper and news. There is now more interesting read- ing matter in it than in any other paper on the coast, and every one speaks hlggf of it, at the same time saying, ““I guess{ shall have to subscribe for the Cary; it seems to be the best paper now.” We agree with them and congratulate the pro- prietor of the CaLron the success he is meeting with, and proghesy it will soon be the leading paper on the coast. = et IT STANDS ON TOP. Morgan Hill Sun, The Carnn, editorially, stands pre-emi- nently above any and all of the papers in the State. Its news columns are replete wit}i dthe happenings from all parts of the world. S g CLEAN, BRIGHT AND BRAINY. Reno Gazette. The San Francisco CALr under its new management is forging ahead at rapid strides. It apparently has thé best inter- ests of the whole Coast at heart, as well as of San Francisco, and has the brains be- hind it to make its work felt all along the line. The Gazette predicts that the new and vigorous blood.that was injected into its sluggish veins will improve the moral standing of every paper published in Cali- fornia’s metropolis. The CALL is clean, bright and brainy. . TRUE TO CALIFORNIA. Irish American. : It is with pleasure that we notice tie strenuous efforts of the Carr to build up this city and_State. It keeps the true in- terests of California always in view, and the terse, crisp and pertinent manner in which all such matters of interest are treated is gaining many friends for the paper all over the State. If every man in California wonld work as hard as the management of the CaLL is doing to develop our home in- dustries there would be little need of any convention for that purpose. e MUST FOLLOW THE “CALL.”) Eureka Standard. The new make-up of the CALL by which the Pacific Coast news is given on the first page in the paper will be appreciated by most of its readers, and make it a valua- ble exchange in?a newspaper office, as it is not necessary to wade through pages of foreign matter to get the news most needed. Of the many changes made by the CaLn this is the best, and the other dailies will have to follow the lead of the CALL or lose prestige. e STRAIGHTFORWARD AND CANDID. Alameda Argus. The San Francisco Cary, under its new management, is walking well up toward the front. Its tone is excellent. It is straightforward and candid. It is never flippant nor malicious. The personal spites of those who direct its destinies are not observable in its columns. We predict a great future for the Carr. The people of Caglifornia are ripe for a metropolitan news- paper that wilr honestly and candidly champion their interests. ety WILL BE APPRECIATED, 222 te Record. The San Francisco CaLy has taken a new departure in its makeup—that is, devoting more space to happenings on the Pacific Coast and putting them on the first page. Heretofore the metropolitan daily papers have been in the habit bf devoting all their space to happenings in the East. This new departure of the CaLu will be appre- ciated by its readers. e IT IS UP TO DATE. Portland Mercury. The San Francisco Cax: nearly an en- tirely new paper since Charles M. Short- riage purchased- the propur(f‘ a few weeks ago. New blood, new life has been in- fused into the journal and the proprietor is reaching out to all parts of the West after additional patronage. The CaLL is now a newspaper of to-day—an up-to-date publication. L NO LOTTERY IN THE “CALL.” San Jose Pastor and People. The Pastor and People desires to thank C. M. Shortridge for the stand he has taken in regard to “fake ads” in the San Francisco CALL. Of course it is purely business with him, but a clean paper is & rare bird in these times, and to keep the law a good thing even for a paper. “No lottery ads in the CaLL.” Good for Shortridge. . DESERVES CREDIT. Tres Pinos Times. The CArr has commenced a crusade on the “‘beggar statues” of San Francisco and dcm.-mcf«» of the proper authorities that they remove the nuisances. The CALLde- serves great credic for taking this stand, as the public beggar on the main thor- oughfares of any well regulated large city should not be tolerated. —_—— A GREAT PAPER. San Jacinto Searchlight. The CaLy is indeed coming to be a great paper. Some readers might gauge the value of a journal by the number of blanket-sheet” pages it contained, but the Carw has discovered that at least a part of the public are intelligent enough and dis- criminating enough to appreciate quality more than quantity. et QR NO MORE FAKING. Ashland Tidings. The new management of the San Fran- cisco CALL has won great praise over the coast for the stand it has taken in discard- ing the faking business in connection with its newspaper business. It no longer ad- vertises coupon schemes, and refuses to print lottery advertisements any more. o PURE JOURNALISM. Wallawa (Or.) Chieftain. Under its new ownership the San Fran- cisco CALL is making great strides toward ure journalism. One of its main reforms 1s abolishing the coupon system and firing everything that has a semblance of a fake. 50 more iottery schemes will go with the CALL. San Leandro Standard. The CALL is making rapid strides in the attainment of popular favor, and it deserves the appreciation its new management is meeting with. e FULL OF IDEAS. Pendicton Oregonian. The San Francisco Carr, since it fell un- der new management, is thoroughly a %alilomia paper—iull of life, energy and ideas. —_— Credit for Its Efforts. Crescent City Record. The San Francisco Cann deserves credit for its efforts to have the next Republican national convention held in San Francisco. s ety GOOD EDITORIALS. . Sonoma Mercury. The CALL has taken a rapid stride for- ward under its new control and is noted for the pertinency of its editorial matter. AR ONE OF THE VERY BEST. Chino Champion. Charles M. Shortridge is making the CaLL one of the very %en newspapers in the State._ - SUSPECTED OF BURGLARY. Investigating the Men Arrested in the Standard House. No owners have yet been found for the knives and other articles recovered at the Standard House on Market street when the police raided the place on Friday night and arrested twelve men and boys. The articles are new and bear store marks, The police have no doubt they have been stolen from some store. Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton had a look at the prisoners in the City Prison yesterday to see if he could identily any of them, but he failed to do so. A hardware- store at Lodi waa entered by burglarsa few weeks ago and a quantity of knives and other articles stolen. The Sheriff thinks that “some of the men may have been implicated in that burglary, and un- der that impression he will send some of the Knives to the Lodi merchant to see if he can identify thme. , Incandescent electric light is the least harmful to the eyes of all artificial lights, says Dr. Trousseau, surgeon of the Paris ?fi‘i“ze Vingts Eye Hospital. Next comes the light igiven by kerosene lamps, which is good for ordinary purposes. He con- demns as injurious the light of oil, and particularly by candles, and considers the gas jet the most hurtful of all. ———— ALL THE new cards, booklets and Easter nov- elties are h , Vail & Co., 741 Market strect, Sexparm ¥ L7 WEEKLY INDEX OF THE SOCTETTES.

An important decision to fraternal societies was recently rendered by the Supreme Courtof Michigan. It is to the effect that a man cannot violate the rules and continue to claim the society benefits. The husband of Catherine M. Fillmore of Anun Arbor was a member of the Maccabees of Michigan, holding a SZ(}O{_J bene- fit policy. One of the conditions of his good standing as a member was that he should not engage in the manufacture or sale ofspirituous liquors. Shortly before his death Mr. Fillmore became the owner of $5000 worth of brewery stock. Soon after his death his widow set up & claim for the death benefit, which was denied on the ground of his having violated the con- ditions of his membership in owning the brewery stock mentioned. She < suit, her counsel taking the position that this provision of the charter could not be literally construed, as it would be against public policy. Judge Kinne took this view of the rendered a aecree in favor of Fillmore' The case was appeeled, and the Supreme Court has decided that Judge Kinne was wrong. The Supreme Court has decided that the pro- visions of the charter of the Maceabees regard- ing the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor means just what it says,and the en- forcement of it by the courts does not contra- vene public policy. Those who join orders must obey the rules and regulations on peril of losing their right to the benefits. The National Odd Fellow says that over 25,000 names could be obtained to a petition in New York alone for_the repeal of the open- door clause of the new Rebekah code. According te the figures in the Pacific States Workman the membership of the great fra- ternal societies of this country is as follows: Masons, organized in 1773, membership 95,000. 0dd Fellows, organized in 1819, membership $5,000. ; Ancient Order of Unjted Workmen, organized in 1868, membershi ,000. Knights of Pythias, organized in 1863, mem- bership 298,000. Knights of Honor, organized in 1873, mem- bership 125,000. Royal Arcanum, organized in 1877, member- ship 115,000. VARLEY ON THE PLATFORM THE NOTED ENGLISH EVANGELIST GIVES A TALK TO YOUNG MEN. PERSONALITY THE MosT INFLU- ENTIAL FACTOR IN THE . UNIVERSE. . Henry Varley, the noted English evan- gelist, delivered an address to the Young Men’s Christian Association yesterday at the regular Sunday afternoon meeting. There was an unusually large congrega- tion present, including many of the mini: ters of this city, to hear the eminent divine. Secretary McCoy, in introducing the speaker, said that once, some years ago, while on the platform with Moody, the revivalist, a telegram was brought_in which he read to the audience announcing the death in England of Henry Varley. This report he had never heard contra- dicted, and he was therefore very much astonished the other day when Mr. Varley walked in on him. Mr. Varley spoke without any notes, and although his talk was rather dis- cursive, it was full of forcible and telling points. His manner of speaking is pleas- ant, and he engaged the close attention of his audience. Occasionally he lightened his remarks with humorous illustrations. He took for his text, ““Who is this that is challenging the attention of the world?” Personality, he said, is the greatest factor in the universe. He could not take any stock in materialism. This city and its development is strong evidence of the power of personality, and gives the lie to materialism. He could not agree with Arnold in saying ‘‘there is somrething without us that makes for righteousness.” To accomplish any good we must work n what is in the man, we must lay hold of the forces that lie behind the will. ‘“We are born into the world in a con- dition of absolute dependence. While the lamb or young of many other animals might survive alone, it is not so with the babe. Every other living creature devel- ops an appropriate dress, but it is not so with man. Dependence is interwoven into the very texture of our whole being. The r.atest need, then, in the world is for a ayior.”” Speaking of the effect of drink in Eng- land, he said that if, they should entirel‘y eliminate the drink fraffic in that country from the texture of their social life they would not have one poor man or poor ‘woman in the whole population of 38,000,- 000 in that little district by the end of a single decade. Speaking of the boons of the disciples, he said that the personalities of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were so periectly subjected to the spirit of God that the in- dividuals are absolutely lost in their writ- ings. This fact is unique in the history of literature. Take Macaulay’s history. The author_appears on every page, and so it is with all other literature, except the New Testament. Get rid of this book? No. As soon get rid of the sunshine. Some say that it is antiquated. So are the stars. You know that the fundamental princi- ples in the sermon on the mount underly all laws. Take the Ten Commandments, If they were obeyed in Paris or London or San Francisco, or any other great city, it woulgi become the garden of Eden of the world. BEER-DRIVERS' PICNIOC. Its Annual Outing at Shell Mound Was a Great Success. _The Beer-drivers’ Benevolent Associa- tion of San Francisco and Oakland had a successful -Fcnic at Shell Mound Park yesterday. The day was sufficient to tempt any one to take an outing, and in conse- quence the gopular Tesort across the bay was crowded. It was estimated that over moopeogle were in the park at 4 o’clock and at that hour the fun was at its highest, There was bowling for prizes, a tug of war, in which the married men succeeded in pulling the bachelors over the line; quoit- throwing and a dozen other amusements, including dancing, to gass away the time. The success of the day was mainly due to the exertions of A. Hanson, president of the Beer-drivers’ Association; Chris Har- Tis, vice-president; F. Govermann, secre- tary; and H. Denicke, treasurer, She commenced’| IN ORDER THAT you may have lux- uriant hair it is neces- sary that your diges- tion must be perfect, your bowels regular, your nights reposeful and your nerves steady.
