The arrest of fifteen members of the Sal- vation Army on Saturday night for violat- ing the ordinance against holding stre meetings had the desired effect. rious aggregations of street preachers, asainst whom the measure was directed, took the cue and held their services in the City Hall park, where they were listened to by a large crowd. The three negroes who have been preach- ing in front of the hall heid serviees in the morning, followed in the afternoon by “Cowhoy”’ Rice and his wife. er, attired in a light summer 1 shining white shirt front, with a gentleman’s cravat, took off her natty straw hat and mounted the band stana, whence she delivered a stirring sermon, while her audience listened respectfull. Her husband, in a buckskin coat and wi sombrero hat, watched her admiringly. During the evening the Salvation Army held services when even standing room about the platform was at # premium. The leaders of the organization had in- tended to hold more street meetings in spite of the arrests of the previous night, but tinally c¢bncluded to watch the result of the test case which will be heard in the Police Court to-day before further defying the locgl authorities. ' The leaders of the army have been in consultation with several attorneys since A their arrest, and have been advised that their case is a good one, Green Goods Men Caught. Jobn Wise and Barney Macguire were arrested on Saturday evening by Postoifice Inspectors Irwin and Gordon and locked up at the County Jail on charges of viola- tion of the postal laws in sending green goods circulars through the mails. The inspectors came into possession of . one of their circulars some time ago and de | | | last February by means of decoy letters managed to get enough evidence against them to warrant an arrest. They claimed to have money printed rom genuine Treasury note plates and on genuine Government paper. It is believed that they have not suc- ceeded in victimizing many peovle, as their operations were scarcely begun’ be- fore they were arrested. Alameda County Funds. County Clerk Jordan has compiled a statement of the cash in the various county funds, showing a very satisfactory state of affairs. The county general fund, on an esti- ated revenue of $288,680 79, has had $258,- >4 41 drawn from it, leaving $30,426 38 to carry the county through May and June. The county infirmary fund still contains $80,467 15 out of the $130,148. To carry on the work of keeping the county roads in order the sum of $3963 46 is yet available out of the $17,10064 of esti- mated revenue. BERKELEY. Considerable interest is being manifested in town polities just at this time, as the municipal election will take place on May 13. On May 20 the new officers will be duly sworn in and the new charter, voted upon , will go into effect. From all that can be learned the coming election promises to be the hottest of any held in Berkeley for years, as, under the new charter, several reforms will be insti- tuted, new offices be created and greater responsibilities be involved. The Board or Fifteen Freeholders who prepared the ter for the citizens to vote upon claim that it is simple and brief, devoid of ambiguity, not experimental, and that there is nothing in it that has not been tried in other places to the great- est satisfaction. The general basis upon m which they worked was the existing char- ter of Berkeley and the general State law for mtinicipal corporations of the fifth .. New use was also madeof approved ions of charters of other cities in the State The abolition of Constables and the sub- stitution of Deputy Marshals is in re- sponse to the public sentiment. (CHRIST A SINGLE TAXER James E. Mills Talks on the Subject of “Christian Economics.” Practical Meaning to Society of the Gospel of the Man of Judea. Evidently James E. Mills, the single-tax advocate, had in mind the parable of Christ on the “Talents.” and the fate of the man who “buried his talent in the earth’’ when he addressed the thoughtful audience which filled Justice hall in the Pythian building, on Market street, last evening. Mr. Mills believes that there is a great deal more involved in the Christian religion besides mere ethics, and he enter- tains some very practical views of the teachings of Jesus Christ as to sociological questions. The subject of Mr. Mills was “hristian Economics.” and he said in | substance: Some one has said that Christ preserved a perfect silence on the subject of economics, but, the fact is, the teachings of Christ are so silent only to those who cannot hear. The struggle for freedom has been formulated in_a thous! ent ways. Once it was “Freedom of Conscience,” then it was . Without Representation”; again it was, “Freedom of Speech,” and so on to the end of the list of human struggles for greater l{b- erty, but all pointing, when analyzed, to the solemn truth thatall men stand equal before God. Svery step in the development of freedom has been taken along this line. Herbert Spen- cer defined the land of equal frcedom to be that every man shall be at liberty to do what he will 50 long as he infringed not on the right of any other, but he did not go far enough. His definition is but the outward expression of what is more fundamental, namely, that all men are equal before God. The conscience of the whole world is becoming aroused on this subject of economics, and there can be no rest | or quiet until the truth of it is recognized and reduced to practice. However we may differ as to spiritual truth and doctrine, there are certain vital principles about which there is no differing. These are the declarations of equal freedom embodied in the commandments, of “Love to God and thy neighbor.” These are the central laws of human existence. It is a declaration not only that every man should love God, but also that God loves him. This law ot equal freedom and equal rights also necessarily involves equal duties. It teaches that the l1aw of service is the law of human life, which in plain words is that ever: n shall do his share of the world’s work. This excludes idleness. But it also means that | every man shall have his share of the product of the world’s work. Service for service is the law of equal freedom, the law of normal human life, and only service entitles any man to share in the benefits of the world’s work. The idea that religion is a mere matter of be- {is passing away, and in its stead is growing a that it consists in living in obedi- e dictates of an_enlightened con- ence. So also there must be a public con- science, and it is & hopeful sign of our times that there is beginning to be & public con- know very well that all men have not their equal share in the product of the world’s work, have not an equal opportunity of access to the carth, where alone they can perform their share of the work. The fact is every- ognized that many of the workers worse now than many of the slayes did in 1 days of chattel slavery. This shows the bezinning of a public congcience on the sub- ject of nomics. The law of equal freedom is inconsistent with all forms ot ?rn‘ilege. The idea that any man can exclude his fellows from equal access with him to natural opportunities to Supply his wants is &t war with Christianity and is pre- posterous, Natural opportunities are all comprised in the term land. Christianity therefore demands that every one shall have 'his equal share of God’s earth. There is no escape irom this con- on. This equality of opportunity the sin- will provide. because it will effectually te t0 the community the rent, which value of the land in use, and rker the full productof his t ills devoted a half hour after the ng questions from the at xt:e present system gle u distrik and is all in favor of the land-owner. unday the Single Tax Society will t at the same place and discuss the question, “How Not to Do It,” the discus- sion to.be led by James S. Reynolds. WINSTREL ENTERTATNMENT.

Miss Katie Wagner pinned tne medal on his breast, Miss Minna Muller crowned him with a wreath of roses, and Henry Bach, last year's schutzen king, handed over to him the champion belt. Captain C. Oldhe in a few appropriate remarks congratulated the lucky marks- man, and commiserated those who had been unlucky. After the crowning of the king the company and their friends had a very pleasant dance and supper. IN THE HANDBALL COURTS. Jones, the Australian Champion, De- feated by Hutchinson and Condon. The bracing weather of yesterday had the effect of crowding the handball courts. Several games of more than usual interest were on the programmes and the result was a fine exhibition of the manly sport, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the patrons of the courts. J. Jones, the Australian champion, played G. Hutchinson and J. Condon at the San Francisco court, and to the surprise of the spectators he was defeated by three games to two. Hutchinson and Condon played a particularly brilliant game. An- othier game that attracted much interest was between J. Harlow and D. Connolly and Pat Kelly. Harlow was defeated by two games to one. The attraction at the Union court was a match between the cracker-jacks, J. Feene; and R. Linehan and Al Pennoyer and M. Dillon. Feeney and Linehan had it all their own way, and won in three straight games. Another interesting game was be- tween J. McDermott and G. Ackerson and William Ackerson and P. McGlade. George and his partner were defeated by three ames to two, although his service was the eature of thedgame. At the Occidental court T. F. Bonnet and John Purcell played J. M. Currie of Hurt- ford, Conn., and J. 8. Slattery. The stranger showed that he was an adept at the game, and he and his _partner won by three games to two. On Wednesdnfinight Champion P.T.

An Inter-Club Match Carried On at Alameda Point—The Empire * Club’s Shoot. The trap-shooters took possession of Ala- meda Point yesterday, and all day they shot in team shoots, inter-club matches and club shoots. The greatest interest of the day was centered in an inter-club team match between teams of ten men from each of the three big trap-shooting clubs, and a team of ten unattached shooters. The match they are shooting is a continuous one which will last until next August, when the accumulated en- trance fees will be de distributed to the winning team. It has not been decided, however, whether the winning team will be that one with the best average, the best total score or the greatest number of victories. The match yesterday went to the Empire team, which, out of a possible 200 blue- rocks, broke 164. The scores made were as follows: Lincoln team—Daniels 15, Allen 15, Kar- ney 15, Fischer 15, Baum 14, Potter 16, Whit- xllz\lr 9, Bonns 16, Quinton 14, Wenzel 13; total Eropire team—Andrews 14, Debenbaum 19, Webb 18, Young 11, Stewart 17, Varney 15, Baker 13, Levi 15, Ingalls 13, Billington 16} total 164.

The prize will be an L. C. Smith hammerless gun, and it will be given to the man with the highest total at the end of the season next fall. Including yesterday’s shoot the leaders so far are Nauman, with 54 out of a possible 60, Daniels with 53 and Webb with 53. Each match is for thirty birds.

REVIEW OF REAL ESTATE, Conditions Betoken a General Improvement of the Market. ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST. Auction Sales of Properties on Va~ lencia Street and in Rich- mond. The real estate market has a healthy and prosperous tone. While sales may not be very numerous, still the general feeling of confidence which is expressed on all sides betokens undoubtedly a continued im- provement of the market. Several of the largest dealers report that they have done as much business so far this season as they did all of 18%4. With all these encouraging features there is nothing in the nature of unjust inflation of prices, and everytiing indicates a steady and permanent market. The intelligent dealers are well satisfied with a steady, solid and progressive move- ment in realty, but the uninitiated and oft- times new beginner thinks the only desir- able thing is a boom. The latter class do not realize that booms never last; that sudden spurts of fictitious growths of any kind must invariably be followed by re- actions which bring ruin and misfortune in_their wake. Fictitious advances in values are not probable in view of the amount of realty for sale at very reason- able figures to meet all present and pros- pective demands. THE SUTRO SALE. Von Rhein & Co. report the result of Thursday’s auction sale of residence prop- erty on Ashbury Heights as satisfactory to, themselves and the owner, Mayor Sutro. Not more than two-thirds of the number of lots put up were sold, but the list was an unusually long one. Lots fronting on Ashbury street brought from $775 to $900; those on Sixteenth street sold at from $500 to $700, while on Upper Terrace theg av- eraged $500. The corners of Sixteenth and Ashbury brought $1350 and_$1750, and the corners of Upper Terrace sold for $610 and §910. The prices realized were very fair. COMING AUCTION SALES, Easton, Eldridge & Co., Baldwin & Hammond and Von Rhein & Co. have con- ducted successful auctions of outside prop- erties, and now buyers of realty are going to be offered an inside propertg. practically in the heart of the city. This property, the historic Woodward’s Gardens, ironts on Valencia. Mission, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets and is only one block from Market. The high fence which used to stand up so menacingly has been re- moved, the property graded and subdi- vided into lots, and the streets are paved or macadamized and sewered. By this auc- tion sale, which will take place on Tues- day, May 7, at the salesrooms of Shain- wald, Buckbee & Co., the gap that has for years existed on these business thorough- fares will be closed. It may be of interest to note in this con- nection that the northeast corner of Valen- cia and Sixteenth, 70x100 feet, was sold at auction the latter part of 1890 to Thomas Magee for $40,480 or $588 per front foot. The prices of inside lots ranged from $280 to $320 per front foot. Lots on the west side of Valencia, near Sixteenth, 25x100, sold in January, 1891, from $7000 to $8300. The corner of Ridley and Elgin Park, 25x75, brought $6750 in 1891, while a lot 25x90 on_Valencia near Ridley sold for 11,500 In 1893 - the northwest corner of Valencia and Seventeenth, 60x80 feet, brought $33,000 or $550 a front foot; 60x80 feet on the west side of Valencia, near Seventeenth, sold for $16,500, and 75x100 near Nineteenth, on Valencia, brought $44,000. The terms of the sale of the Wood- ward’s Gardens property are one-third cash, the balance on mortgage at 7 per cent. On the 6th of May G. H. Umbsen will sell, by order of the court, for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the San Fran- cisco and Point Lobos Road Company, 160 lots, situated in the heart of the Richmond district. These lots will be for sale with- out limit or reserve to the highest bidder. In a few years Richmond is bound to be- come to the northwestern what the Mission is to the sonthwestern part of the cit; it is growing very rapidly, and it is estimated that in the last few years 15 per cent of all the houses erected in the entire city have been built there.” In one particular, that of sewerage, this suburb is very progres- sive. There was no network of old sewers to contend with, and the entire system is new and scientifically arranged, and has a separate_outlet into the bay. At present the Ferries and Cliff House Railroad runs along the northern boundary of the above tract, the Sutro road will pass through it, and the intention is to extend the Geary- street road out Point Lobos avenue to the Cliff House.

The route will begin at the junction of Hayes and Stanyan streets, thence north to Iulton, west to First avenue, north to Point Lobos avenue and west to the Ciff House. The proposed road will be run by electricity. Notable improvements are going on in the Potrero, and it is in_a great measure due 1o the efforts of the Potrero Improve- ment Club. Electric cars, new sidewalks, clean streets and many newly painted houses are recent indications of new life in this section of the city. Claus Spreckels has invested in round numbers $2,500,000 in San Francisco realty during the last eighteen months. His | latest acquisition was the property owned by the Pope estate and Francis Wilson, located on the northwest line of Market street, west of Powell, and running through to Eddy street. This property involved an outlay of $350,000. Its ancient-looking buildings will soon be supplanted by mod- ern improvements. The report comes over from San Leandro that 1n real estate transactionsand the erection of new buildings the town is pick- ing up. A new system of sewerage has just been completed at considerable cost. | ts peculiar features are the smallness of | the pipes and the big flushtanks at the | head of each street.

Broker Rumble Makes a Statement About His Financial Troubles. Inregard to the entanglement in which he has become involved with his customers, as published in yesterday’s Cary, George ‘W. Rumble has made the following state- ment: | The continued advance in the prices of wheat of 15 cents per bushel in Chicago caught us short about 500,000 bushels. ‘We had about fifty customers, a few of whom were ladies, who ail made money. We paid them profits of about $20,000 of our own money. Our custom was to settle contracts with cash at once, thus Sn.ring instantly from any and all cash on hand. Our obligations do not exceed $2000, which we can adjust in a short time. One of the {raders, Miss Maggie Kane, who has sworn out a warrant for my arrest, got her start from $10 1 loaned her three weeks ago. She made $300 from that $10. She has been trading with us about a year. I have loaned her money sev- eral times. She gave us $500 as a margin on which to buy 50,000 busheis of July wheat. Immediately on receiving the money from her it was paid out to other customers. Miss Kane’s deal made a profit of $100 and she wanted her money in & minute, I an | nounced that we would have to suspend doing | business until we could adjnst matters sng everybody would be paid in full. Miss Kane and some other ladies said they wanted some money to use Sunday, so 1 borrowed %250 which I paid to them, reserving $100 for Miss Kane. When Ireturned to the office I was told that a man named Simpson had induced Miss Kane to have me arrested, hence I left the office, not wishing to be locked up over Sun- day. I propose to return to the office Monday morning and adjust all claims in full as soon as I can turn myself. . e Honest City Government. Nothing could better illustrate the fun- damental soundness of our American body politic than this general awakening in fa- vor of honest_city governments and pro- ressive social work in our population cen- ers. Our city governments have been our most conspicuous failure and the most dan- gerous of all the evils which threatened our national life. Having finally awakened to a full appreciation of the facts as they were, the American people are bestirring them- selves to make the cities wholesome and Eood. They will not accomplish everything v virtue of a wave of enthusiasm, but the new movement will not prove itself a pass- ing whim, It is based upon sound princ ples, and it is supported by the deep deter- mination of thousands of men and women who are capahle of persistence through long years. Theirs is a determination to bring our American cities up to the stand | aid of the best American ideals, and also | up to the standard of the best foreign achievements in municipal organization | and improvement.—Review of Reviews. | R Adnliral Sir William Fanshawe Mnrtin,* Bart, G.

DON’T USE IODINE OF POTASH. One of the Finest Home Remedies in the World Can he Had From Any Druggist on the Pacific Coast. ES, I HAVE BEEN GROWING STRONGER every day during the iast three months. You know I have changed doctors; in fact I have got out of the old rut and commenced living in a new world. You know I have lost faith in this routine practice of the older physicians. You consult them to-day; they give you guinine, calomel, iodide potash. You consult them to-morrow; they give you a change. It isiodide potasl calomel and quinine, and so on and on until you become a perfect wreck. I followed up this old routine subscribing until I wes scarcely able to walk. I tried the physician of to-day, the physician to come. Thisis what he said: Vegetable remedies will be the only remedies used in & course of a score of years. The great home remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, is purely a vegetable compound, hence the great and constant and increasing demand for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Why Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla is so valuable: Don’t contain iodide potash. Don’t contain mercury. Don’teontain ealomel. Don’t contain arsenic. Den’t contain mineral acids. Why the physicians of to-day— Why the physicians to come will Prescribe the Home Remedy. He has his eves opened; prosperity smiles upon him; when he prescribes Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla it makes him so popular; he is in demand. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla cures Disease of the stomach, Disease of the liver, Disease of the kidneys, Disease of the blood, Disease of the skin, Disease of the nerves, Disease of the heart. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla Makes the weak strong, Makes the sick well, Makes ths skin clear, Makes the pimples go. Take the Home Remedy. Don’t Be Substituted. JOY’S Vegetable Sarsaparilla Are You a Rheumatic? NFLAMMATORY, ACUTE, SCIATIC; ANY nerve or muscular pain, arising from impure blood, stagnant, weak circulation, impover- 1shed nerves, with a tendency to neuralgia, all find immediate aid in the live-giving infusion of electricity from Dr.8anden’s Electric Belt. When it is koown that the life of the nerves originates in electricity, and that impure, stagnant blood, which causes §) rheumatic afflic- tions, comes from the weak action of the nerves, it then becomes'evident that all bodily pain can be removed by a constant infusion of the electric current into the body. Does this not seem reasonable ? To see the proof send for the little book “Three Clastes of Men,” which has hundreds of testimonials from former rheumatics, now healthy and vigorous people.
