Any attempt to injure the High | School is an attempt to injure Oakland and cannot be too severely deprecated. Daring the past week the ¥ Coast has | been led to believe that public opinion has been “rent in twain” by a ‘‘scandal” atthe | High School. Any such statement is | grossly false. Oakland valued the “‘sensa- ’ for what it was worth and very prop- thought no more of it. Now, after | being exploited for six days the story is | found to be absolutely devoid of founda- | tion. it hias been proved beyond a doubt | that even if Professor McChesney and fel- | low-teachers who visited nasiam had been im ideas there was absol them to feast upon, ersof -the principal bave been the girls themselves. Asa matterof fact, if all the girls in the High School were to go frém e girls' gym- | Iy their homes to the school in their gymna- | s they would not attract half as on asdoes the bicycle suit that is the streets all day long. Itis vilege of any citizen to write a communication to any public board ex- pressing his opinion, but such communi- cation, if scattered broadcast, may do irre- arable injury to some innocent party. n this case Dr. Myra Knox, who pre- sided over the Board of Education last Monday evening, thought fit to defer read- ing the letter until after an investigation. She did quite right, and subsequent events have justified her action. But the writer gave his communication to the press and did everything in his power to make pub- lic his ideas, and this was, rightly or wrongly, construed_into a personal desire to hurt Principal McChesney rather than as an honest effort to promote an unneces- sary reform in the High School. It is fortunate for Oakland that the readers of the Pacific Coast are of a high order of in- telligence and accept lurid sensations cum grano salis. Principal McChesney is to be congratulated. His exoneration is more complete and pronounced than could be any investigation of the Board of Edu- cation. seen The interior papers of Alameda County have already commenced to prepare for the campaign of next year. The political fields are not desolate of prospectors, al- though the county conventions will not be held till August next. For fear that the ational questions may overshadow local fights, the fence-builders have already commenced work. Between now and then there is plenty of room for surprises, but the general trend of the various struggles for place is as clearly outlined now as it of the interesting points that will probably | g6 to the Supreme Court is the length of the term of Justice of the Peace. The weight'of legal opinion_seems to be that all Justices were decided to be count; officers when the Supreme Court seate: Fred V. Wood in the place of Sands. It will be remembered that when there was a | n the office of City Justice the | Supervisors appointed Wood to the va- y and the Mayor appointed Sands. Fhe case went to the Supreme Court and upheld Wood, thus recognizing the e 2s a couniy appointment. This will g the incumbent under the provisions of the new four vears’ bill passed by the last Legislature. The greatest interest, of course, centers around the supervisorial and legislative aspirants on account of their patronage, and while the Superior Judgeships will be prominent, in view of the number of candidates, the latter will not rally the ward-heelers and rough- riders of’ the political field who naturfily train with those who can pay for the ser- vice: Senator Guy Earl has allied himself with Garber, Boslt and Bishop of San Fran- cisco, and has stated that it is his inten- tion to retire from politics. He leaves a clean record for the Twenty-seventh Dis- | trict, and the man who is anxious to suc- ceed him is Assemblyman C. G. Dodge. | 1f merit deserves political gratitude, Dodge will be the next Senator from his district. Among the Assemblymen, Gay of the Farty-eighth has moved out of the county. Of the rest Fassett, Waymire and North are anxious to succeed themselves. McDonald, the lone Democrat of the For- ty-ninth, who was Assemblyman till Col- lins was seated, may try again, but it is not likely. The Superyisors to retire are Johnson, Pelouze and Bailey, and all will try to suc- | ceed themselves, and all will meet with | opposition. None bave established great claims to the county’s gratitude, and al- though Pelouze has recently made a hard | fight to sustain Dalton’s assessment of | railroad properties, it took him a long | time to become converted, and he has done lots -of other things that will not be | speedily forgotten. While Judges Greene and Frick will try to serve another term, | their places will be contested by Sam P. | Hall and George W. Langan of Livermore. It is not impossible that one of the Repul lican nominations for Superior Judge will go to the country this time. “Oakland is the greatest circus town in the country,” said the manager of the show that was here two days this week. *.As he spoke he looked inside the great -tent where 8000 people were splitting their sides listening to a clown telling an origi- | nal joke about there being notking new “wéré four entertainments given by the attendance was ©.14,000. Each person paid 50 cents and “'there were certainly as many who paid 75 represents the taking in at the pox-office _of $7000 each day. And Oakland is'saying “that these are ‘“‘hard times.” Truly this city is a circus by itself. Z : About a year ago Councilman Capell in- traduced an ordinance fixing the license for-each circus performance within the city .limits at $1000, Everybody laughed at My, Capell and his ordinance was killed, but # four out of that fonrteen thousand doHars had been left behind last week Mr. Capell would bave been a hero. As it was, the manager paid $100 to the license man gnd smiled as he did so. The pitiable spectacle of a member of “the- Board of Public Works hunting up witnesses so as to have the Mayor arrested isto be regretted. The circumstances that led' up to the present disgraceful stgbe of ffairs at the City Hall are more pitiable. They point directly to the only possible re- lief—Oakland must return to her old love end roll up a party majority that can con- the city government to work in barmony.

The time has passed when local journals, controlled more or less by corporate interests, mold the politi- cal complexion of Alameda County, an Oakland in particular. The fearlessness of San Francisco dailies has changed the aspect of affairs, and as a result the voters know where to place their con- fidence and whom to view with distrust. Although not apparent on the surface the present scandal of City Engineer Wilson hunting for a warrant for Mayor Davie for vulgar language is the result of work of which neither Davie nor Wilson is aware. Neither do they really understand that they are being toyed with by pm!essional politicians. Such, however, is the case, and now that the row is on every political tyro can see its purport. The quarrel has been fostering for months and was hatched as soon as_the new Commission- ers took office. It is the dying effort of a lost cause, the cause of machine politics in Oakland. Ifany more proof is needed | that the quarrel'is the work of outsiders it is found in Commissioner Wilson’s state- gublic Saturday, where he re- marks that Fred A. Campbell supplied the spark that kindled the fire. StuarT W. BooTH. REV, WENDTE TO REMAIN The Resignation of the Oak- land Unitarian Pastor Is Declined. Resolutions Expressing Confldence In and Fealty To His Administration. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FRrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, August 25. | The congregation of the First Unitarian Church has decided that Rev. Charles Wendte shall remain. A special meeting was held to-night to consider the resigna- | tion handed in by the pastor some weeks ago. Colonel John P. Irish explained the object of the call, and then the following | resolutions were unanimously adopted: | WaEREAS, From the beginning of nine years go, this congregation has continually enjoyed | the pastorate of the Rev.C.W. Wendte, and under his pastorate it grew rapidly into the need of a church home commensurate with its growing activities, and, ‘WHEREAS, Inspired by his energy and spirit of self-sacrifice in the interests of this noble cause we acquired this property, and within the short space of three years contributed and. | paid two-thirds of its cost, and, WHEREAS, These investments equipped us with a credit sufficient to complete this beauti- ful and substantial edifice; therefore, be it Resolved, That we request of the trustees of the congregation that they decline any proffered severance in the pastoral relations with Mr. Wendte for the following reasons: First—We cannot hope to secure in his place & pastor who will be his superior as a citizen and a teacher the force of whose example stim- ulates the mental and moral activities of this community, nor one who can replace him in the respect and affection of this congregation. Becond—As his efforts went foreibly into the building of this church and his refined taste is inseribed on its architecture, and we believe it due him, as well as ourselves, that he abide | with us, still leading us until the home is | reached; and be it | Resolved, That the trustees be instructed that | the foregoing resolutions do express the senti- | ment of this congregation, and we do promise i and covenant that we will sustain the credit of our cause, each member according to his means, all working together in_harmony until | the dekired end is accomplished. | A subscription-list has been opened, and it is expected that one-half of the debt on | the church will be wiped out in a few days. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS. | Crescent Club Wheelmen Hold a Try-Out for the Re- liance Races. Doubt About Accepting the Holmes Library—Professor Gay=- ley’s Books. BERKELEY, CaL., Aug. 25.—The wheel- men of the Crescent Athletic Club held a try-out this morning at the Oakland Trot- ting Park for the purpose of determining the entries to be made in the Reliance races to be held on September 7, in which it is expected that five Crescent men will take part in the five-mile relay and two in the class A evenis. On account of there being so many of the Crescent wheelmen away at present only eight were on hand to enter the try-out. Those who ran over “the mile course were Metcalf, Sherman, Gompertz, Kennie, Brehm, Wilcox, Mc- Clain and Kroman. Following are the five who came out in the lead, with the time made by each: Kroman, 2:25; Kennie, 2:45; Sherman, 2:45; Metcalf, 2:48; Gompertz, 2:48, As Wilkins, the speediest rider in the club, was not present, the decision as to who shall make up the team to be pitted against the Reliance cracks has not yet been finally decided upon, notwithstand- ingthe fact that it was purposed to select the five best men from to-day's events as representatives of the clubin the coming races. No Library for the Town. The members of the Board of Town Trustees have been advised by Attorney Hayne that it is not possible for the town to assume control of the Holmes Li- brary under the act of 1880, as that statute provides for a board of five trustees, Since there wili be no municipal election for two years, any money levied under the provis- ions of the act would lie in the treasury until the election of the library trustees took place. It is doubtful, in the Town Attorney’s mind, whether the Town Trus- tees can appoint such trustees, as there is | nothing in the town charter, or even in the act itself, which gives them that power. _The authorities of the library a short time ago offered to turn over the entire collection of books and equipment to the town, without incumbrance, providing the library should be perpetuated. This was | done on account of the rapidiy increasing | patronage of the institution and the lack | of means to properly conduct it. If it is { finally decided that the town cannot ac- | cept the offer it is feared the library doors must necessarily be closed. | Professor Gayley’s New Books. Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head of the department of English at the univer- sity, is at work on several new books, | chief among which are: “An Introduction | to the Study of Literary Criticism,” in- tended for graduate students and profes- sors, and two works for the Atheneum Press series, entitled, **Theory and Poetry’’ and “‘Matthew Arnold’s Essays in Literary Criticism.” Professor Kittredge of Har- vard is the editor-in-chief of the Athen- eum series, and Professor Gayley has heen asked to edit two of the series, being al- lowed until 1898 to finish them, The first volume of his “Laterary Criti- cism” will be out in about three months. In speaking of the Atheneum series, Pro- fessor Gayley said to-day that they would undoubtedly be the best series of English ghsshm ever undertaken in the United tates. Reception to Freshmen. An informal recepiion will be tendered the freshmen class of the university on next Tuesday evening at the Trinity Methodist Church, corner Allstonway and Falton sireets. R The Tyrone Club at Shell Mound. The fifth annual picnic of the Tyrone, Fer- managh and Donegal Social Club was held at Shell Mound yesterday.

GIFT OF GEORGE MONTGOMERY. The First Home for Aged Colored People to Be Bullt in the State. OARLAND OrFIcE SAN FraNcrsco CALL, 608 Broadway, August 25. A committee of Jadies visited Beulah yesterday and under the guidance of George Montgomery, the millionaire salva- tionist, selected a beautiful site for the new Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. Mr. Montgomery showed the ladies a beautiful section of land on a gently sloping billside, and told them they could place their stakes whenever they saw fit. The ladies viewed the land from different points, talked of sewering and sunshine, natural drainage and protection from prevalent winds with as much knowledge &s old engineers., Then they vlaced their stakes around a beautiful lot measuring 50x200 feet, and Mr. Montgom- ery presented it to them as a gift, and {u'omiscd to give them the deed next Wednesday. The commitee consisted of Mrs. Thomas Pearson (chairman), Mrs. John, Mrs. Har- riet Smith and Mrs. Stanford. They were appointed by the Home Association to ar- range for a site for the new home for the aged. As soon as Mr. Montgomery heard of the needs of the association he at once offered them the land on which to build. The offer was gratefully accepted, and yes- terday the committee met the donor and the site was staked out at Beulah, where Mr. Montgomery lives. The ladies are heartily backed in their efforts by many prominent people and re- ceived the following indorsement from those whose names are l;fpended and who have already given liberal subscriptions: It is with the highest confidence in her in- tegrity and a keen sense of the immutable law of God which makes the whole human family one indissoluble fraternity that we, the under- signed, take much pleasure in commending to a generous and sympathetic public Mrs. Thomas Pearson and the charitable work in which she and other lsdies of her race in this State are zealously engaged 1in, that of found- ing a “Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Peo- ple,” realizing as wedo the fact that there is son, Mrs. C.

Miss Lucy, who resides at 2414 Lapidge street, was run down by a bicyclist at Iwenty-fourth and Howard streets last night, and taken to her home in an un- conscious condition. The owner of the wheel, R. A. Coulter, an employe ofan ex- press company, was taken to the Seven- teenth-street station and booked on a charge of battery. The extent of the young lady’s injuries are unknown, but the physicians in at- tendance think she is suffering chiefly from the nervous shock. SWISS RELIEF SOEIET, Its Ninth Annual Picnic and Outing Was a Pleas-~ ant Event. The Object and Growth of the Or- ganization as Outlined by Dr. Rottanzl. The ninth annual picnic of the Swiss Relief Society was held yesterday at Schuetzen Park and fully 1500 people were present. Over 150 gate prizes were drawn. The president, H. Pichoir, delivered an address of welcome in the pavilion and was followed by Hon. A. Borel, the Swiss Consul. An oration was delivered by Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, who said: In accepting the honor iy;“ have conferred upon me to be orator of the day the pleasure was marred by pain, pain at the thought that 1 was occu?ymg the place of one who had the sad misfortune to lose & brother that gave great promise; pleasure for the reason that this oc- casion has for its object the most laudable pur- pose that man cen undertake, that is the ob- taining of means jor charitable end.

Not even the sanguine ever believed that it would make such rapid progress, but to-day, all to the credit of the Swiss colony, it stands second to none in wealth and efficiency. It is something to which we can point with pride; something on which we can look with reverence. It i3 hetter to give than to receive. Iam sure that there are many in this very hall that have at times felt the pulse quicken, the heart grow warm, when to some needful individual they gave but slight assistance. No matter what the outcome may be_there is always happiness connected with charitable works, even rgough we be repaid with ingratitude. The following lines would best express one's thought: When charity is well performed, but soon forgotten as a thing of naught, it is true seli- | consciousness of having doue what's right ap- pears the only pleasure in such plight. Charity, that most perfect flower, cultl- vated as'it should be, so that its fruits will grow to those that need,unobserved by him who tills the soil, renders a perfume that when wafted back from its sweeiness and richnass, intoxicates him who gives. ‘The Swiss people, as a whole, are born benevo- lent. From the very air of freedom in their mountain fastnesses, they uire that spirit of generosity which makes them as a nation stand pre-eminent in this direction. Their Government, like the mother of a family, ever looks after and inquires about the condition of her children abroad, and with that liberality characteristic of her race con- tributes liberally to the relief of her unfor- tunate sons. Their welfare is of the greatest interest to her, for she féels proud of the lorious success which they generally achieve. he provides for her children that they ma; attain distinction. The best free public sehw{ system that can be found in the world, and it is from this great fountain of universal educa- tion that the necessity of mutual assistance is one of the cardinal principles of success. The motto of the republic speaks for the people. The people having such sturdy qualities, im- pelled by such noble motives, cannot help but arouse the admiration of whomsoever they come in contact with, and thus it is and ever shall be that our society will maintain a standin, prosper and continue in its good work for lff time to come. Miss Pearl Ladd gave a fancy dance. The closing remarks were made by Presi- dent Pichoir, who dwelt particular] goupon the prosperity of the Swiss in California. A number of prizes were distributed to the children who participated in the races. Dancing was the main feature and all had an enjoyable time. —_—————————— The number of people who own their farms is largest in the new Btates of the West and ghe smallest number is in the South. is due to the facilities which the cheap lands of the West and the home- stead laws have given for acquiring farms. .On the other , the more rous Btates of the South have comparatively few farm mortgages. ——————— Chile is succeeding in converting “her paper currency to a gold basis much more he gola prodleted o the opponents of tee e cf . zu place. measure not taken —————— Equitable Aid Union, The eighth anniversary of the foundation of the Equitable Aid Onion was celebrated last | Monday in the hall of California Union.

At the time Colonel Andrews joined Poca- hontas the tribe was not in asflourishing a condition as it might be, because there were many who were in arrears for dues. When in a position to do so he had the delinquents notified that if they did not pay up they would be dropped from the roll. ey did not heed the request, and the alternative was put into effect. ‘When'told that what he had done meant the ruinof the tribe, Colonel Andrews said that he could replace the delinquents by live men and at the &uowin: meeting he presented the names of twenty-one candidates. At the sub- sequent meeting he presented nineteen more, among the number being George C. Perkins, George Stoneman, Irving M. Scott and many others of that type. At the same time he told John P. H. Wentworth, editor of the Resources of California, also a member of the tribe, that if within a given time he would bring in twenty candidates he would give him a $60 suit of clothes. The editor went to work with a will and before the time limit expired he brought in the twentieth paleiace, who was made & full-fledged Red Man, and he got his new suit.
