THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1895. 9 LATEST OAKLAND. NEWS, Shall Miss Harriet Lane Be Blacklisted by Male Law Students ? WHY TRILBYS ARE SCARCE The Cornerstone of Oakland’s First English Lutheran Church Is Laid. This evening the Alameda County Law Association will hold a special meeting for the purpose of .considering the blackball- Ingof a bright young woman who has ap- plied for membership. The only reason advanced so far why the lady in question should not sit in the council of the law students composing the association is that they could not smoke and enjoy that free- dom that:men can only enjoy when by themselves. Ten, or even five, years ago in Alameda County the men’s argument might have commanded respect. To-day it falls flat. In this county,and in Oakland particu- larly, women are more prominent in nearly every class of labor and profession than in most cities. Oakland has produced more bright women than any other city of its size in this count continuing to pro- duce them, and ted bar to their ig looked shortsighted.

This oon the ladies of the Women's Ex- e will hold a meeting at the First gregational Church to settle the mat- ok Friday only one-third of the re- quired number of young ladies presented themselves and an adjournment was pro- posed till to-day. To any one acquainted with the tendencies of the average Oak- land girl, the subject is an enigma. There re more bloomer girls in Oak%and than in acisco, and a_very natural infer- ence is that wearers of bloomers have the courage of their convictions and would lend their aid to make a church affair a success as_soon as the subject was broached. It cannot be that the unwilling phs and nymphs and Trilbys are mis- trustful of the nature of the parts that may be assigned to them, for Dr. McLean has countenanced the affair and this is ample for all. The venerable doctor enjoys the respect and confidence of every one in Alameda County, and he is anxious for the phantasma to succeed, that the Women’s Exchange may be benefited. ‘Where, then, is the solution to be found? That is to be seen this afternoon. The question of establishing a Civie Federation in Alameda County is receiy- ing more than passing notice and bids fair to become a reality within a few weeks. The need of such sn organization is very apparent, but unless it is composed of the right kind it will do more harm than good. The recent disclosures in the Tax Collector’s office; the reduction of South- ern Pacific prolperty by the Solid Four Su- pervisors; the failure of the city govern- ment to enforce the Seventh-street fare ordinance and the telegraph-pole tax or- dinance, all these matters want looking into by a body that will be more aggressive than any Grand Jury yet impaneled in this county. Stuart W. Boorn. The Cornerstone Laid. The First English Lutheran Church is enough advanced to lay the foundation stone, and this interesting ceremony was erformed yesterday afternoon. William Moller, chairman of the building commit- tee, performed the ceremonyand gave a short address on the progress of the pros- perous little congregation till it was large enough to need a spacious place of wor- ship.” The building of the edifice has been greatly aided by the Eastern branch of the Lutheran Church, which is working hard to establish its creed more firmly on this coast. Rev. J. 8. Simon, pastor of the First English Lutheran Church of San Francisco, delivered an address congratulating the congregation on the happy occasion that brought them together. P. M. Fisher, presiding officer, gave a short historical review of the church since its foundation. A pretty tribute was paid to Rev. Philip Graif, who, as a former pastor, with his wife, worked hard to make the effort to build a success. Services at present are being held at Fraternal Hall, on Washinsmn street, under the pastorate of Rev. J. Bushnell. A German Soldier Killed. A man was gtruck on the head by the local train at Fruitvale yesterday morning. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and died a few_ hours later. On his arm the letters “R. of K. FRAN, 2C, R. E, Metz, 1872, were tattooed. The deceased was a German soldier who has been in hard luck lately. Although recognized as having been around several saloons, no one can tell his name. The dead man has a peculiar growth on each side of the top of his head about equidistant from eye and €ear. Drowned While in a Fit. V Charles Dolan, aged 16 years, was_taken with a fit yesterday morning and fe’l into the bay at the foot of Webster street. His body was recovered by some boys and turned over to the Coroner The unfortu- nate lad Jived with his uncle at Fifth and Jackson streets. LATEST BERKELEY [TEMS, Two Berkeley Ladies Dressed in Bloomers Climb Grizzly Peak. Three Socleties Make Things Pleas~ ant for Incoming Freshmen. Shot-putting. Two Berkeley ladies, one U. C. co-ed and the other the wife of a teacher of physics at the Lowell High School, 8an Francisco, dressed in complete bloomer attire, climbed Grizzly Peak, back of tl}e university buildings, before sunrise yes- terday morning. Each had on. beavy walking shoes and were armed with Alpine staffs to help them climb. They arcse at 5 o’clock, and thinking that they would be able to reach the summit of Grizzly and return again before the other people in the neighborhood wege up, started out. They had not gone far before a cow belonging to a dairy ranch on the road beheld the un- u§ual sight and gave chase to the bloomer girls, but they Sacaped without injury be- yond the tearing of their clothes consider- ably in a barbed-wire fence. I suk at escent, < Heaching the summit of the about 6:36 they commenced their tacked by a huge bulldog from the neigh- boring milk ranch and forced to use their poles as a protection. Students’ Information Bureau. The Sudents’ Information Bureau, the Students’ Aid Society and the ladies of the Young Women’s Christian Association are doing much commendable work in offer- g gratuitous service toward securing pleasant boarding Ellces and suitable ac- commodations for the incoming freshmen. Each organization has an office hour at Stiles Hall. The work of the Young Women’s Chris- tian Association is in the hands of Miss May Robb, that of the aid society in charge of John Howell, '96, and A. H. Allen oversees the information bureau. Wilbur’s Great Shet-Put. ‘Wilbur, one of the best 16-pound shot- putters at the university, has been doing phenomenal work lately. Last week in prac- tice he cast the iron ball forty-four feet, exceeding the U. C. record of thirty-nine feet four inches, held by Koch, four feet eight inches. He has been practicing lately with Edgren, the hammer-thrower, who himself put the shot forty-one feeta few days ago. Must Clean Gutters. Superintendent of Streets Chick will serve mnotice on the property-owners of Berkeley tp-day that they must imme- diately obey the town ordinance which re- quires that gutters in front of their houses be cleaned. Painting Town Offices. The offices in the Town Hall are being re- Eainted, and in consequence little official usiness can be transacted until it is fin- ished, probably on next Wednesday. CHCKE ACROS THE BY The Alamedas Score a Decisive Victory Against the Bohemians. Bowhlil With the Bat and Sloman With the Ball Give Good Exhibitions, clubs in local cricketdom, met yesterday at Alameda. It being the only match of the day and one that was likely to be well worth witnessing, an unusually large num- ber of spectators presented themselves, in regard to the contest, they saw some ex- cellent cricket. 3 The Bohemians went in first and were dismissed for the incredibly small score of 19, due chiefly to the deadly bowling of Sloman and partly, perhaps, to the down- fall of theirable chief, Robertson. The cupholders, going to bat, played an excellent inning. Although they lost two of their best wickets, Hood and Sloman, for a single, most of the other men con- tributed double figures, and the respectable total of 167 was reached, Captain Hogue and young Ward doing the largest share of the work. The Bohemians made a much better showing in their second essay. Bowhill carried %is bat for a faultless 63. Pollock and Bristowe both got into double figures, and the side’s total was 116. This left the Alamedas musters of the field by an in- ning and 32 runs. The field features of the da bowling analysis of Sloman an were the C. Bird’s [ 11 3 0 3 2 Irwin L b. w. b. Sloman 0 . Davis b.

Since the plant is a fixed organism, and cannot move in search of food, it is essen- tial that its roots thoroughiy penetrate the soil of the locality in which it is found in such manner as to place its absorbing sur- faces (root hairs) in contact with whatever natrient solutions the substratum may contain. The necessity for such penetra- tion of the soil has led to the development of irritability to gravity in the protoplasm of the roots. Primary roots in response to the stimulus of gravity tend to place them- selves in a position with their axes lying parallel to the force of gravity and the tips pointing vertically downward. But 1if all the roots assumed this position they would depend from the stem in a compact mass in a manner not advantageous to the lant. The secondary or smaller roots, owever, react to gravity in such a manner that they place their axes at right angles to the line of force, thus securing a pene- tration of the soil in a second direction. These forms of reaction to gravity are also exhibited by other organs of the plant, but do not occur to any extent among animals. An important requirement of aerial organs is that they assume a position in which their surfaces will be exposed to the sunlight at an angle most advantageous for the performance of their functions of the formation of food and transpiration. To meet this need, those portions exposed to the light have acquired a specific man- ner of response to the light by which some place their surfaces parallel and others at right angles to the direction of the rays. Gravity acts continually and invariably in one direction, and with a constant force. Consequently the movements of plants in response to this stimulus are compara- tively simple. Light has its source in the sun, which varies its position through 180 degrees during the daytime and is wholly absent at night. In consequence the move- ments of the plant to adjust its surface to this stimulus of ever-varying direction and intensity are of great complexity. This variability of the stimulus has, more- over, induced in the plant a delicacy of irritability toward light far beyond that exhibited toward gravity. In alarge and varied category of plants it has become of great importance that they execute certain movements when solid bodies come in con- tact with them or strike their surfaces. This irritability to contact or impact has been develo] in 8 numberof carnivorous plants, which entrap and hold insects which serve as food; in the tendrils of climbing plants, which coil around sup- ports .n%fif& the foliage and flowers into sunlight; in a large class of ‘‘sensitive plants,” which quickly fold their leaves on the reception of such a stimulus, thus avoiding injury from hail or grazing ani- mals. s.l.‘he need of delicacy is much ter here than in the previous forms mflb«l, and the response is much more marked and rapid—Popular Science but had not gone far before they were at- | Monthly.

The Shell Mound marksmen were at the rifle ranges yesterday in greater strength than for some time past. It happened to be an occasion on which quite a number | of the target-hitting clubs held their prac- | tice, and it also happened that the clubs | came early and the members were nu- | merically conspicuous. The day might | have been better, however, for fine range | work. A strong wind held undisputed | sweep across the ranges and the light on | the targets was not just what it might | have been. However, the scores were very | creditable in such circumstances and the enthusiasm displayed in the sport indi- | cated that rifle-firing will be just as much | the go this year as it ever was before. The San Francisco Verein men are breaking the disks rather actively in preparation for the tournament which takes place next month, and the young soldiers of Colonel Macdonald’s regiment have a trophy com- petition in near prospect. With these big affairs and a host of lesser matches, among | them a contest with the revolver between Sime’s troopers and the signal corps men, the military marksmanship outlook is promising beyond all conjecture. At Shell Mound yesterday the Columbia | Pistol and Rifle Club had an interesting | inning. The match with the pistol was on the fifty-yard range and was for members only in the class contests. In the depart- ment of champions Smith Carr scored 91, | C. M. Daiss 90 and A. H. Pape 85. In the first class L. O. Rodgers made 91, J. E. | Gorman 88, J.7E. Klemn 86, D. W. Mc- | Langhlin 72. The second class scores were: | F. Dennis 83, A. B. Dorrell 82, H. L. Crane | 72, A. Kennedy 62, W. Unfred 58. The Blanding medal match was open to verybody. In thiss Dais scored 95, Carr 3 Gorman 92, Rodgers 89 and Dor- The Columbia men also fired with the rifle at 200 yards for the Kuhnle medal credits. D."W. McLaughlin registered 87 and L. O.Rodgers 85. In the members’ shoot with the rifle the following scores were made: Champion class—D. W. Mc- Laughtin 80, L. 0. Rodgers 80; first class | —J. B. Klein 71, Charles Perry 60, P. Bohr 87; second class—Frank Dennia 77, H. B. Dorrell 74, J. E. Gorman 73, H. Ken- nedy 73. A medal shoot by the members of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein resulted in these scores and classifications: First class, A. H. Pape, 433; third class, J. Thode, 403; fourth class, D. Dunker, 377. The best first shot was 24, by J. Peters, and the best last shot a center, by A. Mocker. The Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club did some target practice, with this order of prize-winners: F. Schuster, G. Alpers, O. | Lencke, J. de Wit, H. Hellberg, H. Huber, J. Gelken, J. Peters, W. Glindermanm, G. | Schulz, A. Hagedorn, D. Schinkel. I S, the Germania Schuetzen Club the | class scores were as follows: Champion | class, D. B. Faktor 439; first class, H. Hu- ber 415; third class, J. Peters 415; fourth class, C. F. Rust 3s6. The best first shot | was made by H. Hellberg, a center, and | the last by R. Finking, a 24-ring shot. Companies C and G of the First National Guard held their monthly medal shoots. The corps was well represented and the 1 scores were quite up to the high standard of the companies. Among the results were | the following: fFier Meyer 48, W. L. Fenn 44, C.F. Waltham | 43, A. E. Anderson 42, R. J. Dowdall 42, John Ritter 42, J. R. Barickio 42, P. M. Diers42, V. E. Goodell 41, F. J. Povey 41, J. Sutliffe 40, F. Sherman '40, B. Kelly 40, J. F. Norton i . H. Kennedy 38, A.8.

Among the best scores were these: Webb 25, Stew- art 24, Billingg0 n 24, Debenham 23, Baker 23, Burgans 20, Newton 20. i SCHUETZEN PARK. A Serious Accident Narrowly Avoided—Next Banday’s Big Festival, There was very little done at the targets at Schuetzen Park yesterday. Many mem- bers of the California Schuetzen Verein | were present, but all of them were practic- ing for the festival that begins next Sun- | day. In the morning Assistant Schuetzen Master R. Stettin and Philo Jacoby, presi- dent of the Schuetzen Festival, made a thorough examination of the targets and saw that everything wasin readiness for the ‘“‘great shoot.” Twenty targets will be used. There will be eight point-targets, two man-targets, four honorary am;z six point-targets in rotation. None but marks- men will be allowed on the floor of the hall, but visitors will be allowed to use the gallery. Strecker, Helm, Schuster, Faktor, Pape and Ehrenpfort will make their first ap- pearance since their Eastern tour, and there is a well-defined idea among the other shooters that not one ot them will come out on top. In fact, odds of two to one were offered yesterday that not one of the Eastern cracks wouid be ‘‘Schuetzen King.”” Among the marksmen yesterday were John Horstman, James Stanton, Otto Bur- meister, M. Lauger, A. Ehrenpfort, Joseph Straut, Philo Jacoby, H. Utschig, inopold Simon, M. Archer and Messrs. Dawson and Kerrigan. 1t was all sweepstake shooting, one shot each. The Golden Gate Club, a branch of the Foresters, held its annual pienic at the park. O. Kelloggvof San Rafael wason a visit to his old iriend, Captain Fred Schu- man. As the former was getting into his bugiy when leaving the bit dropped out of the horse’s mouth and the animal started torun away. Caj n Schuman grabbed the headstall and managed to hold the horse until Kellogg got partly out of the baggy. The animal then bécame unman- ageable, and breaking away threw Kellogg heavily to the grouna. Schuman was dr: about twen! he buggy passing over his body. yards and then let 0, go'th men were unconscious when picked up. Kellogg was removed to his home at San Rafael and Schuman was attended by a physician, OUTING OF ALLIANCE MEN. Harmony Lodge Has a Great Day at Shell Mound Park. The members of Harmony Alliance and their friends, who streamed into the Shell Mound picnic grounds yesterday, had a pleasant day for their annual outing, and a right pleasant time they made of it. It was the first outdoor affair given by Har- mony Atliance No. 15 of St. Patrick’s Al- liance of America. The branch of the or- ganizauon 1n this City is & new one. It was organized last March, and now has about 150 members on its rolls, and prom- ises well for a youngenoclat_v. There were numberless features of en- tertainment at Shell Mound, but the races were voted the jolliest things of all. There were enough of them to have dis- couraged a Bay District steward, but they ‘went off merrily, excellént prizes were dis- tributed, and tge affair was written down as a red-letter occasion in the alliance an- nals. James J. Donovan had charge of the affair, and he bad the assistance of F., A. O’Brien, J. J. Dunne and tke other officers 4nd members of the society. i THE SHORT ENDERS WON, Talent Surprised by Some of the Work at the Coursing Parks. Wayfarer Takes the Honors at Casserly’s and Fearless at Kerrigan’s. The short-end players had a great day at both coursing parks yesterday, in several nstances as good as 3} to 1 being laid against the victors. At Kerrigan’s park the running was of a high order and the betting lively. The Alameda Kennels brought over a crowd from the Encinal City and their money went into the pool boxes in lavish style. Quite a number of ladies, who seemed to take as much interest in the sport as their male escorts, were in the audience. The result of the rundown was as follows: T. Flynn’s Empire beat V. W. Guerrero’s Maud G; P. Biyan's Thorndale beat Shaffer & Strabl’s Gold King; Alameds Kennel’s San Joaquin beat 8. Riordan’s Chicopee; R. Pringle’s Ace of Spades beat W. Dalton’s Famous; C.

Final—Fearless beat Regent and took the first prize of $20. | On Saturday next at the same parka thirty-two dog stake, $1 entrance, will be run, and some crack dogs have been en- tered for the running. The sport was up to its usual standard at | Casserley’s park and two of the courses— namely, those between Coomassie and Pride of the West and Lesson and Way- farer—were fast and close. The hares were fast and in some instances escaped the dogs after running clear across the field. 1t was intended to have a course between a large coyote recently captured while try- ing to get out of one of the paddocks and a couple of “varmint” dogs, but the latter did not show up and the event, which was expected to be very exciting, was put over until next Sunday. The running resulted as follows: H. Huli's Frisco Boy, same owner’s Buicher Boy, D. Cahill’s Tom Rice and J. McDonald’s Addie D, byes. T. Brennan’s White Rustio beat P. 'Carney’s’ Annie Daly. W.

That Smithton, Westmoreland County, farmer who struck a spring of whisky while digging a ditch on his land a few days ago, has been making some more surprising discoverles. A revenue officer was sent up there to see whether the whisky was tax-paid or moon- shine. He reports it chiefly moonshine, but does not know how to act in the mat- ter. There seems to be no doubt that the whisky was buried by Braddock’s soldiers on their retreat, which occured some time ago. They left it behind because they had more than they could carry comfortably. There was no tax on whisKy then, and there is some doubt expressed as to whether the spring can be legally taxed now. While the Government officers are look- ing up the question, the honest farmer is working ahead on his ditch. On Monday, about twenty - five feet from the whiuki spring, he struck a hard substance, whic! seemed to be a solid rock. A little digging revealed a den of petrified snakes. Whether these have any connection with the whis- key or not is a matter of doubt. E‘ie continued his work in the ditch, and yesterday afternoon he struck another spring. ~ A pink liqidd flowed from it. It has been examined by experts, who say it undoubtedelg is hyoscyamine. Its presence is explained by an old inhabitant, who says there was a promising growth of hen- bane on the farm early in the present cen- tury, and that it got tramped into the und. The work of time and nature has procuced the hyoscyamine. 2 The farmer is_going vhrongh with the ditch to the end. He says he has good prospects of strikug {-Llocuplpo in a day or so, and he wouldn’t be a bit surprised to strike a gusher of bichloride of gold. He intends to pipe it off until the flow of whisky gives out and the petrified snakes begin to show signs of life. Then he thinks it will be time enough to try the hy- oscyamine and other things he ‘expects to find. ‘The ditch is open for the inspection of any one.

SOCIETY OUT OF TOWN. Engagement of Dr. Sieberst and Miss Julia Kedian Announced. MENLO PARK HOUSE PARTIES. The Long-Poole Wedding to Take Place Soon—Movements of Oakland People. Company B of the Naval Battalion is to have a dinner next Saturday evening. The pretty invitations sent out read: “The homeward-bound pennant is flying over Company B of the Naval Battalion and its members will mess together for the last time before going out of commission. You are invited to be present at the end of their final cruise at Delmonico’s, 110 O’Far- rell street, Saturday evening, August 17, 1895, at half past six o’clock.” A quintet, composed of the well-known artists, Miss Alice Schmidt, pianiste, for- merly of the Schmidt quintet; Herman Brandt, violinist; Louis Schmidt Sr., viola; Louis Heine, violoncello, and John Josephs, violinist, has been organized in this City, and proposes to give a series of subscription chamber-concerts, commenc- ing early in October. The wedding of Louis H. Long of the Soutbern Pacific Company and Miss Er- mentine Poole will take place at the home of the bride’s mother, on the corner of Hyde and Washington streets, on Septem- ber 4. Dr. William A. Sieberst, president of Stanford Parlor No. 76, N. 8. G. W,, is en- gaged to be married to Miss Julia I. Kedian of 1736 San Carlos avenue. Dr. Sieberst is one of the most popular young men in the Mission. The wedding of Miss F. Viola Rea, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rea, and Herbert L. Partridge, Deputy District At- torney of Santa Clara County, took place on Wednesday last_at the pretty country residence of Samuel Rea, south of Gilroy. C. Jackson Lancaster and Miss Emma L. Hardy were married Tuesday evening, August 6, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Rev. W. L. Kir officiating. The residence was beautifully decorated with smilax, carnations and roses. The bride was attired in white silk, with veil and orange blossoms. Miss Georgie Haycroft was bridesmaid, and Joseph W. Hardy, brother of the bride, acted as best man. Only the immediate relatives were present. The presents were numerous and hand- some. After the wedding supper Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster left for a trip to Lake Tahoe. Upon their return they will occupy their new home on Central avenue in Ala- meda. The reception announced for next week to be given by Mrs. Theodore Smith to the Rev. &’. H.
