The liquor-dealers of Berkeley are con- 8 interested in watching the deci- gion outcome of the case of F. J. O’Brien, who was_convicted of selling liquor without a license. It was submit- | ted to Judge Ogden to-day, having been i'\.p)\c:xlcd from the Justice Court of Berke- % . The issue is upon questions of law touch- | ing the validity of the new town charter. | O’Brien secu a license under the old charter at the rate of $100 a year. The new charter raised the license to $50 a | quarter, and the Town Trustees failed to collect that amount from O’Brien, who re- | fused to pay it. Consequently he was ar- | rested and convicted His fight was taken up by the Liquor Dealers’ Association which has carried the case into the Superior Court. It was sub- | mitted on briefs. The question involved is upon the point as to when the new charter went into effect. The contention is raised as to whether the charter became an organic law of the town when it was ratified by the State Legislature or at the time when the | town officers were chosen, in accordance | with its provisions. Michael Hevey’s Claim. Michael Hevey, an old man,whose home was upon the Castro 8an Pablo grant from | 1861 to 1895, has forwarded to Sacramento | a claim for $75,000 against the State. | There were about fifty families living on | the grant, whose titles were declared worthless and when the distribution of the estate was recently ordered by judge Heb- bard they were all dispossessed. Hevey refused to rent from the new proprietor and conseguently left his home. He now sues for damages for being, as he states, unjustly and illegally deprived of hisranch by the action of the courts. “Hevey bought his 100 acres from Dr. L. C. Frisbee and paid §13 an acre. The titles | were in litigation for thirty years and no | artition was made, and the plat on which | {!‘{evey and his wife had lived for a gener- ation fell to the share of H. F. Emeric. Convicted of Cruelty. In Judge Wood’s court to-day Charles Frank and his clerk Richard Woods were found guilty of cruelty to animals and will appear for sentence next Tuesday. The act of cruelty consisted of burning three rats to death in a traF after saturating the animals with coal oil. The occurrence took place on the corner of Washington and Seventh streets, where Frank conducts a shoe-store. A number GAIL BORDEN EAGLE Brand ~CONDENSED MILK..

OARLAND OFricE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sent. 6. A large number of visitors and friends gathered at Beulah this afternoon to take part in the dedication of the new orphan- age for girls. The services in the building, which was crowded, were begun by an opening hymn, “‘All Hail the Power of Jesus Name,” given out by Mrs. Montgomery, followed by a prayer by Miss Stroud Smith of Liverpool, England. The opening remarks were made by Mrs. Montgomery,the founder of the or- phanage, who told of her interestin or- phans, and how one of the hopes of her heurt had heen reahized in seeing the orphanage erected. The first money for the purpose was do- nated a year agoin asum of £2 received from a gentleman in England and $50 from o brother in Texas. When she proposed beginning the home her husband, though in perfect sympathy with the work, thought she had better postpone it until times were better. Shereplied: “I am not depending on the times, but upon God alone.” 8o according to her faith the home was built. In conclusion she said: ‘“My gold is for to a house will be heard before Justice Swasey to-morrow morning. A Dissatisied Executor.

Early in the evening Mrs. Black quarreled with her husband at their home in Ala- meda over afamily matier and the hus- band left homeand came to San Francisco. The wife followed and found Black at the | home of his brother, E. W. Black, at the corner of Sutter and Larkin streets. Black refused to have anything to say to the wife, whereupon she went to a drne- | store, procured a quantity of aconite and swallowed it. She was very low for a time, but will recover.

MUST HAVE THAT SCHOOL The Committee’s Reason for Wanting the Wilmerding Institute. San Francisco Already Has Two Mechanical Schools and Oak- land None. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 6. } The committee of citizens who are solicit- ing subscriptions to purchase a site to merding School have issued the following address to the public: A city grows and becomes celebrated be- it does on account of its natural advantages. The quick recognition of the factors that will add to 1ts attractiveness and a readiness to make an investment which the future will f’usmy are proois both of business sense and ocal pride. Now, what is the situation in con- gemiolx;n with the site of the Wiimerding School ? First, what is the aim of the school? Much has in recent years been sald and written about manual tralning. The public generally has an idea that it furnishes a boy with ability to use his hands in connection with his brain; that this treining will somehow fit him better for the battle of iife; that it will dispose his mind to view manual labor as honorable and that it will counteract the disposition of capable young men to enter the professions. Yet manual training, whileit has this as its object, does not, as we observe it, uaints him with the use of tools in a limitdd way. The object of the Wx'lmerding school is to give a 1bay a trade that he may be able to earna liv- n; g. 1t is clearly utilitarian. It enables a young man to , “This I can do, and do thor- oughly.” The result in the years to come will be to raise the general level of seli-helpfulness, and thus give the State a better citizen be- ause it produces & more capable man. Such a chool is & need of the times. Philanthropy more in every considerable city. Oakland has here an opportunity to balance her superb ed- ucational system, thus adding to her attrac- li‘onu the security of property, in short, her glory. San Francisco has two schools now that are working in the same direction, the Lick School of Mechanical Arts and the Cogswell School. In addition, she is doing much in the line of manual training in her public schools, such as carving, cooking, sewing, etc. On this side we have 90,000 people within reach by streetcar lines. In ten years we will have 125,000 or more. This population ought to have such a school. San Francisco is now engaged in fur- nizhing asite for the affiliated coYla es. This enhances our chances, but may add to our shame if we fail by supineness. It also helps gacious fellow-citizen makes a magnificent offer for the prize. If he succeeds it will be because of the indifference of our well-to-do class, or the fond dream that everything this side of the bay is Oakland. The school ought to be in this city, located where the poor boys can reach it atthe least possible expense. Its name, work and fame should be linked with Oakland. It should be at once an expression of our wisdom, our pride, our spirit as a progressive people. Sub- scriptions should not be limited. No large amount should be considered undesirable, no subscription too small to be overlooked. If five of our citizens are willing to give & thou- sand dollars each, so much the better. Oskland should have the school.

Montgomery, followed by a speech from the matron, Miss Kate Dewing, prov- ing that she had a mother’s heart for her little charges. F. M. Carman of the Half-million Club was one of the chief speakers. He said he felt a left-handed relat ionst for the or- L)hana:e; that he and Mrs. Montgomery ad made a compact—that he was to found a school for boys, and she one for the girls. “I thought the Lord wanted me to_do it in a business-like way, she in the Lord’s way. Behold the results.” Rev. J. W. Ellsworth made a speech on similar lines, showing himself deeply in- terested in the work of saving girls. He said his seveu years' work in the Florence Crittenton Mission has shown him the necessity of an orphanage for girls. Mrs. Mills of Mills College also spoke beautifully in indorsing the orphanage. Mrs. Montgomery read a scriptural pas- sage appropriate for the occasion. The services concluded with a Salvation Army solo, by little Faith Montgomery, the audience joining in the chorus. In speaking of the orphanage Mrs. Montgom- ery said : I do not beileve as much good can be accom- Flished by crowding children together in one arge institution. I want in time to have many small homes, with a “mother’”” for each family. This home is_for girls only, orphans, half orphans and abandoned children between the yesars of $and 14. Ever since I was scarcely more than a child myself I have taken the greatest interest in orphan children and for many years have lcnged and prayed to estab- lish such a work as this. My first actual expe- rience along this line was several years hefore I was married, while still living in Buffalo, N. Y. Iadopted Annie Jones, a little Welsh girl, with the design of training her for the Lord’s work. This undertaking proved a complete success, as Annie has been !%e Jjoy of my heart all these years and she is now an officer in the Salvation Army, stationed at San Luis Obispo. Annie is so greatly interested in other orphans that we made her one of the directors of this orphanage. The matron, Miss Katie Dewing, is a gentle, lovely Christian lady who has for years been engaged &s a missionary among the Chinese in San Diego. There are a number of interesting children already in the home and more expected soon. The building is_directly opposite the Salvation Army Home of Rest. It is a three-story building with plenty of win- dows, into which the sunshine of Beulah pours with health and blessing. It is de- signed to shelter about thirty chifdren and is fitted up with a fine schol large airy dormitories, which are fur- nished with neat iron Leds painted bronze. When little Mamie, the first child ad- mitted, saw them in their sweet cleanli- ness and restful repose, she exclaimed, “Oh, my! what high-toned beds!” Some of these beds are covered with pretty patchwork quilts, looking as cozy and home-like as possible. Mrs. Professor K"E of Mills College and many of the teachers and pupils had found time in their busy lives to assist in tying these. Just before the dedication, while the porch was beiug decorated with flowers and vines, little four-year-old Faith Mont- gomery, who was playing with the or- phans, slipped away by herself, and was noticed in the act of planting a broken shrub without any root as her contribu- tion to the improvement of the grounds. A little orphan helped her in her work by watering the plant from an old tin can. Faith from the first has shown a great in- terest in the orphanage, and only a few days ago said to her mother,” “You needn’t get any mamma for the orphans, becanse I will go over every day and dress them all.” She is just as much interested in the new work as her enthusiastic little mother. The surroundings of the home are ve? pleasant; there are eighteen acres covered with fruit trees, and the fruitis freely given to all the residents of Beulah. Lovely foothills, which are most of the year covered with verdure and wild Hlowers, will be the glayground of the for- ;unats little ones who are admitted to the ome. LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA, New Passenger and Freight Depot on Park Street. Work on the New Structure to Be Commenced In About a Week. ALAMEDA, Can., Sept. 6.—W. G. Curtis, assistant general manager of the Bouthern Pacific Company, was in Ala- meda this afternoon and made the final payment of $4750 on the lot upon which the new passenger and freight depot is to be erected on Railroad avenue, just east of Park street. He was accompanied by 0. T. Nobmann, who solicited and collected the subscriptions from property- owners in the vicinity of the depot sita and which went to pay one-half the cost of the purchase price. Mr. Curtis ex- pressed himeself as well pleased with the location, and expects to get his men to commence work on the consiruction of the new depot within a week. The City Tax Levy. In the forthcoming city tax levy provi- sion must be made for the payment of in- terest and also partial redemption on the varjous municipal bonds. On an assess- ment valuation of $12,665,875, which are the corrected figures after equalization, the rate of 17 cents will provide all that will be re%uiud—-namely. 12,512 50 for interest and $0025 for redemption.

The subject of “Altruism” was | handled by him, not from a philosophical | standpoint, but from a biological or scien- | tific point of view. He gave an extended introduction, showing how the various or- anisms of lower animals were more or less fieneudem one upon another and how the animals themselves might be brought to a higher level by the proper care and culture of their natural qualities. In speaking of the word ‘“‘altruism” itself he said it was an expression of rela- | tion of one’s self to other selves. When | we speak of being more altruistic than we | are we speak of that which is impossible, | for altruism is bred in the bone. Altrnism is often spoken of as a product of modern civilization, but it is not so, for men have from their very nature been in the true sense altruistic since civilization began to take definite form. “All persons,’”’ said Dr. Jordan, “who do not stand in the right relation to their fel- lowsare sifted out, and hence the natural tendency toward harmonious action on the part of civilized and refined indi- viduals. On the other hand, the certain degeneration of animals and individuals will result from an overcrowded condition in their habits of life. A creature |that 1is the recipient of substance from another certainly tends toward | astate of absolute degeneracy. Nine-tenths of the charitable work done without propar forethought results in the accomplishment of more evil than good. We can make men better by works of chadt{, not by iving them dollars and cents but by do- ing something that will be of direct ad- vantage to them. The word “altruism’ is the name given by modern usage to a place to which men can retire, a religion to which those who. help others pass un- consciously. True altruism must be in ourselves. It must be in the hearts of men."” Allusions were made to the several col- onies in the United States that had taken to themselvcs the name of ‘‘Altruria,” among which was the one in Indiana called New Harmony. Dr. Jordan pointed out the many defects in their organiza- tion, not through any incapability of their founders, but by virtue of the very fact that it is an absolute impossibility for any organization to run smoothly and make advancement from all points of view which has not to it a single head or governing power. In a civilization or colony where every one has a voice and an equal share in the profits of all that might result from their co- laboration there is bound to be a see-saw Government. Final Lecture of Dr. Royce. The last of the series of three lectures to the Philosophical Union of the university by Dr. Josiah Royce, on {mints established in his work on “The Religious Aspect of Philosophy,” was delivered to-night at Stiles 1. The complete statement of his subject was: ‘The Metaphysics of Seli- consciousness, with a Few Hints as to the Possibility of Immortality.” The lecture was practically a summary of the two other papers read before the union, the last, however, having been from a flsychologictfl view of self-consciousness, while the one this evenihg was from a | metaphysical view. His theme rested mainly on_the question of the real nature of the individual as a factor or part of the world and the relations between the individua# and God. At the close of his remarks questions were asked by a number of the audience on points bearing mainly on the possibility of immortality, and about two hours’ time was consumed in this discussion, it being mearly 11 o'clock before the session adjourned. Among those who took the opportunit; of asking questions of Dr. Royce were: M. E. Blanchard, U. C.’'84; Charles Keeler, ’93, Arthur Lovejoy, '95; Instructor E. B. McGilvary, Miss Stevens and Messrs. Ellis and Stevens. At the conclusion of the dis- cussion Professor Howison stated that he believed a great many things in common with Professor Royce, but that he differed fundamentally with him in his conception of human finitude. While Dr. Royce's system seemed to follow the lines of Spinoza, his rather partook ofa Liebnit- zian nature. Notes From the Athletic Field, A number of amateur athletes from the Oakland High School held a handicap mile race on the university cinder-path this afternoon. The event was won by Russ in 5 min. 7 sec. Captain Fred Koch of the U. C. athletic team is training several men in weight- throwing, among whom are Carver 99, Neuman '99 and Griseberg '97. They are all putting the lafionnd shot over 33 feet. Torrey, the hurdler, is doing light work on the track, and Chick puts on his spikes nearly every afternoon for a short sprint. Koch put the shot thirty-eight feet this afternoon with his citizen’s clothes on. Aside from the men mentioned there are but few who are doing anything on the track, and those few are Z‘vork.iug for exercise rather than against me. Nothing seems to have been done in foot- ball this week aside from a little work at kicking and running with the ball on Mon- day. The men are apparently waiting for the field to be put into condition. The regular annual meeting of the mem- bers of the University Boating Association will be held to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock at the_ club’s quarters in Sessions Basin, on the Oakland estuary, It isex- C that the club’s racing boats will fully equipped and ready for use within a few days. ROYAHR. Baking Powder AbsoluTely Pare YOUNG ~ PRESBYTERIANS Third Convention of the San Francisco Assoclation Is Held. A Course of Theological Extenslon Lectures to Be Given In This City. The third convention of the Young People’s Association of the Presbytery of San Francisco was held last night at the First Presbyterian Church, Van Ness ave- nue and Clay street. About 100 members of the association from the local Presby- terian churches were present and partici- pated in the proceedings. Rev. Herbert N. Bevier, the president, occupied the chair. The session opened with singing of the hymn, “The Earth is the Lord’s.”” Rev. G. D. B. Stewart led the meeting in prayer. Rev. E. G. Mathena, D.D., gave a scrip ture reading, aiter which William Balnaves sang. Miss Georgia McLennan read a paper on *‘How May We Develop the Spiritual Side of Our Work?” She said that prayer more thananything else can develop the spiritual side of human nature. Rev. John Hemphill, D.D., delivered a lecture on “The Bible.”” He prefaced his remarks with a comment on spirituality. “The trouble with the church in San Fran- cisco to-day is the the lack of spirituality,” he said. ‘The Gospel is well preached in San Francisco, but we are told that there are very unsatisfactory results. The con- versions last year were miserably small. ‘We want to get back to the upper room and get down upon our knees and pray. Theological exte.sion lectures are all very well in their way, but back of that should be spiritual power.” He stated that his subject was mare strictly “The Bible and Modern Thought, or the Higher Criticism.” In the course of iew of the theme he said that higher criticism says the Bible comes from God through the church, and that gives Scripture authority. There _are three great sources of authority—the Bible, the cgurcfi and reason.. What source is infallible? There must be one infallible source of authority—of truth. Conscience calls out for one; and nothing is left but the Bible. Higher criticism can never measure the degree of inspiration of Serip- ture. All Scripture is inspired of God. The higher criticism will never find favor in the Presbyterian church. Christ says: “Search the Scriptures,” not criticize them. The higher criticism is destroying faith in the Bible—that the Bible is corrupted. The chairman announced that a series of theological extension lectures would given during the winter season to the association, the intention being chiefly to present theology and its practical applica- tion to problems of the day. Rev. J. C. Smith; Rev. R. Mackenzie, D.D.; Rev. H. C. Minton, D.D.; Rev. John Hemphill, D.D.; and professors of the San Francisco Theological Semiaary at San Anselmo have promised to address the meelinfs, and the following subjects will be discussed: *‘Old Testament Literature, or the Language and Litera- ture of God’s Ancient People’’; ‘New Testament Literature, or the Language and Literature of Christ and is Apostles”; *‘Church Polity, or the System of Government of the Presbyterian Church”; “Presbyterian Theology, or Sys- tematized Faith of the Church”; “‘Presby- terianism and Modern Thought’; ‘‘Pres- byterianism and Modern Life.” = A0 Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly nset{ The many, who live bet~ ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in "the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
