Garlick has issued a circular calling atten- tion to the uniting of the County Insti- tute with the meeting of the State Educa- tional Association to be held in Oakland on January 2,3 and 4. He recommends that all teachers be in attendance and that the Trustees allow them pay for the time spent in attending these meetings. The County Superintendent requests all teach- ers not already members to enroll them- selves as such. The invitation to these meetings is not only to teachers, but in- cludes all teachers, Boards of Trustees and friends of schools. The papers to be read on these occasions will be of a high order. The programme of the association is un- der the control of the executive committee appointed at the last meeting at Santa Cruz. A Hostile High School Rush. The high and low seniors of the Oakland High School had the liveliest rush of the season yesterday afternoon. Neither side got tied up, however, for Mr. McChesney appeared in the midst of the hostilities and succeeded in quelling the disturbance. For some years past the two senior classes have sought to test their rea‘pectwe strength in rushes, which Mr. McChesney has strictly forbidden, on the ground that it interferes with their studies. The students, however, are anxious to show their supremacy. Debates, baseball and football are not considered sufficient, so these rushes are the means by which valor and daring are supposed to be a test. Sudden Death of W. Boelen of Berkeley.

LATEST BERVELEYTENS, Professor Le Conte Lectures on Color and How it Is Perceived. ' | Berkeley Capitaland OilatSummer- land—Some New and Promlsing Football Men. BERKELEY, CanL, Sept. 29.—Dr. Joseph Le Conte lectured before the Bcience Association this evening on ““‘Color Perception and Color Blindness.” He said: **As there are two kinds of per- ception of sound, viz., simple sound or sound as noise, loud or faint, and sound as tone or musical pitch, high or low, so there are two kinds of perception of light, viz., light as intensity or brightness or shade and light as color. In both sound and light the one is a question of strength of vibration or wave height, the other of rate of vibration or wave length. “The perception of color is a sin:lple per- , there- fore, is doubtless connected with retinal stricture of some sort. Mrs. Franklin su poses that these events in all parts of ti retina a fundamental visual substance, which, by photo-chemical changes, affects the retina in such wise as to produce the sensation of white of all shades and which, therefore, may be called gray substance. Again, it is further believed that color is perceived by means of physical response to light vibrations of different rates—and the simplest conception and that which was first adopted is that of responsive vibration on the partof the cones of the retina.” % Hutchinson Will Play Football. Dwight Hutchinson, U. C., '98, who, & 1892, while a member of the Oaklan High School team, was regarded as one of the most promising halfbacks on the coast, bungrough an injury of the knee was forced to quit the game, will line up next Monday on the football field and try for the ’varsity eleven. Manager Lang was very jlubilant this morning over the return of Hutchinson, as now he feels confident that, with Ran- some, the university will have two men back of the line who are hard to beat. He will be required to wear a knee sup- porter, however, while in practice, as a preventive of future accidents, The phy- sicians pronounce his once-injured mem- ber perfectly sound, but have advised that precautions be taken against being again disabled. Douglass of the Utica mine, who is said to be one of the most promising men cut of the entire freshman class, appeared on the gridiron this atternoon for the first time. Saturday practice for the footballers will commence to-morrow morning. To Bore for Oil. A number of local capitalists, among whom are Thomas Hann, George Schmidt and Samuel Wakeham, are about to form a corporation for the purpose of boring for and handling oil. The location of the oil field which they intend to develop is at Summerland, Santa Barbara County. Mr. Hann believes that the piece of property there which he is in possession of will yieid sufficient oil, if properly devel- oped, to gustify the formation of a com- pany with a capital stock of from $12,000 to $16,000. In speaking of the work which is now being carried on at the well which he sank a short time ago, he said: “I had & 10,000-gallon tank set up last week, and if we cannot ship it by next week, we must stop pumping. We have every pros- pect of great success.” Glee Club Will Sing at Sutro’s.

HIS MAGNETISM FAILED. Fred Campbell’s Healing Powers Were Only Tem- porary. NEARLY COST HIM HIS LIFE. A Strange Freak Played by Nature on an Oakland Man. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 20. Eight months ago somewhat of a sensa- tion was created in this city by the dis- covery of Fred A. Campbell that he pos- sessed the power to make the lame walk and the nervous courageous. For several weeks Campbell’s parlors in San Francisco were thronged with palsied crowds and some of his cures were really marvelous. To the surprise of everybody Uampbell’s power departed as suddenly as it came and now he is back in this city at lus old business of writing policies. His excessive giving out of the magnetic power of his hands worked great havoc with what was previously an iron constitution and Mr. Campbell had to place himself in the hands of four physicians before he re- gained his health. Fred A. Campbell is one of the best known Republican politicians of this city and when he announced last December that he Was&)ossessed of magnetic power to a marked degree his numerous ac- quaintances were inclined to treat the matter as a huge joke. But it was no joke and after some indisputable tests Camp- bell found the needed friend to back him and at once launched out as a specialist and announced that he was ouf of the policy business ‘‘for aye and forever.” . W. Foote was one of Campbell’s most ardent backers, as he was remark- ably treated by the young specialist. L. L. Brownell, Mrs. E. M. )fi:Kusick and J. W. Laymance yielded to the wonderful power of Campbell. After going to San Francisco Fleet F. Strother, one time Auditor and Super- visor of that City, published a statement about the magnetic power of the Oakland politician, and after that the newspapers contained big two-column advertisements. Campbell’s offices on O'Farrell street were crowded every minute .they were open. But suddenly the fame that was noised abroad was heard of no more. The sum tuous offices were closed and everybody wondered why the magnetic politician had again retired into private life. “To tell the truth in a nutshell,” said Mr. Camypbell, to-day, “‘the power left me. Of course I cannot tell how or why it went any more than I can tell how I came to be possessed of it. While I was in the mag- netic business the power I could exert was marvelous. Hundreds of my Oakland friends can testify to that, and they did not patronize me at my office, either. I treated some of them more as an experi- ment than anything eise before I was per- suaded to go into the business as a profes- sion. ‘A few months of the practice, however, nearly killed me. Itis a fact that it de- stroys a man’s constitution to give out his magnetic powers to others continually. I proved this, and when I went out of busi- ness because I had lost my power I was a fit candidate for a hospital. It is a remark- able thing how people ure attracted to a specialist of that kind. I was surprised beyond measure. Some weeks we took in $1500, but it was really the price of blood. It was probably the best thing that could have happened to me, losing the magnetic power, for had I exerted it a few months longer I should certainly have killed my- self. I understand that Dr. Temple, the boy physician, who made such a record on this coast, is now dying of consumption in New York. After I came back to Oakland the services of four physicians were neces- sary to restore me to my former heaith. I gmrfin’t any spare magnetism now. I need it all.” LATE HEWS GF ALAMEDA, Timely Precautions Taken to Guard Against Dread Cholera. The General Sanitary Condltion of the Town Found to Be Very Good. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept, 20.—A commit- tee of the Board of Health, piloted by Marshal Rogers, made an inspection to-day of the quarters occupied by the Chinese. The party was composed of President G. P. Reynolds, Drs. C. George Bull and C. H. Lubbock, Health Officer J. T. McLean and Sanitary Inspector E. C. Maillott. The inspection was made so as to guard against the possible spread of cholera from Honolulu, Alameda being in constant communication with the infected port. No very bad state of affairs was revealed, and the general sanitary condition of the town was found to be excellent, There is no large settlement of Chinese bere, and no menace to health from any of them. It was, however, determined to strictly in- sist upon cleanliness and some of the Celestials were ordered to improve the san- itary conditions of their houses and yards. To assure compliance with their orders another visit will be made by the commit- teein a week. The Law and a Pistol. On the 29th of last month ElmerO. Smith and L. Taylor, two boatmen on the estuary, had a dispute which nearly ended in a shooting affray. Taylor’s boat bumped up n%x;ins: Smith’s yacht, and upon two boys being sent outin a punt to take in the slatk rope on the yacht Smith ap- peared and hot words were exchanged, and a combat with pistols was proposed ana accepted. Friends interfered and pre- vented Smith, who was unarmed, from having it out Corbett fashion. Taylor drew his pistol, however, seeing the crowd advance and fearing to be ‘‘double banked.” Charges and counter-charges were filed by the two men, and Justice Swasey wrestled with the case all of to- day. The charge against Taylor was dis- missed on_the ground of self-defense, the Justice holding that while both men were in the wrong, yet Taylor spoiling for a fight, finding himself outnumbered,wanted to withdraw and was justified in. drawing his weapon to defend himself. Congressional Inspection. The City Trustees propose to properl receive the Congressional delegation whic is coming on Monday morning next to in- spect the estuary improvement. With this end in view an effort was made to se- cure a drag for the varty so as to drive over the comEleted portion of the tidal canal, when the advantages to be gmined by a connection with San Leandro Bay could be clearly seen. In all of Alameda or Oakland, however, a drag is not to be procured. A Swell Affair. To-night the Knights and Ladies of Honor give a grand ball at Harmony Hall. 1t is to be a very swell function, and Ala- meda’s fairest and bravest will be present in {ull force. Attendance is by invitation only. 5 A Victim of the Colima. Columbus Bartlett. J. A. Remmel and J. B. Lanktree have appraised the estate of George Langhorne at §4032. Deceased was second officer of the iil-fated Colima, lost on the 27th of May. The widow has peti- tioned the Superior Court to set aside the family residence on Hawthorne street and San Antonio avenue as a homestead. One of the assets of the estate is a claim for $32 due as a balance of salary. A Surety Deed Attached. The Wheeler and Wilson Manufacturing Company has brought suit in San Fran- cisco against Philip Sieben of this city, claiming $1021 23, for which sum Sieben went surety for his adovted son when the latter started into business in Visalia. The company claims that Sieben, to avoid payment, has transferred his property to his wife, and asks that the deed be set aside as fraudulent. Shooting at the Ranges. Fifteen members of the National Guard shot off their scores this morning at the ofi!en range on the second day’s practice of the vear for State medals. Captain Chip- man thus far has won a silver bar, while Sergeant Tait missed it by one count. The practice will be resumed to-morrow after- noon and continued until sunset. WS CLOSED 175 D00RS The Once Popular Francis Murphy Reading-Rooms Are Defunct. Founded by the Temperance Apostle at the Close of His Last Campaign. OARLAND OrFricE SAN Franorsco CAry, 908 Broadway, Sept. 20, } The public evidence of the grand work done in this city nearly three years ago by Francis Murphy and his wife exists no longer. The Gospel Temperance Free Reading-rooms were closed to-day for lack of support, and although proof of the re- sults of Murphy’s campaign are found in many quarters of the city the reading- room, on the founding of which Francis Murphy prided himself, is no more. ‘When first opened the Francis Murphy Reading-rooms were thronged all day and night with the men who had been con- verted fram intemperanee. It was, for a long while a regular clubroom where en- tertainments and games were carried on under the auspices of prominent people. Mrs. M. K. Blake through these years of its establishment has been the most zeal- ous worker, and was president of the board of directors, who are: K. W. Playter, Judge J. P. McElroy, Colonel George Bab- cock, Dr. H. J. Plomteaux, Mrs. M. K. Blake, Mrs. Irene E. Gibson and A. S. Bradley. “The reading-rooms have not suspended permanentiv,” said Mrs. Blake to-day, “only for a few months, although it is the first time in their three years’ existence that we have ever closed the doors. “There are two reasons for doing this. The first is that while the pleasant weather lasts the men who made these rooms their headquarters Lave work mostly in the country picking fruit. Another reason is to allow us to catch up in our finances, in which we have run behind, and we are striving to be on our feet again by winter, when the rooms are most needed for the use and resort of laboring men and other worthy persons.” ‘When Francis Murphy left Oakland the Hopulnr reading-room occupied one whole oor at Seventh and Washington streets, but the institution removed to a single room on Clay street, and now that also is closed. THE MAN OR HIS CREED, Significant Remarks of Dr. Chapman at Dr. Kummer’s Reception. The Venerable Pastor Has Served Three Denominations With Equal Success. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIS00 CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 20. | The difficulty of obtaining a pastor to succeed Dr. J. K. McLean of the First Con- gregational Church has not yet been over- come, but the vacancy has caused the question to be raised as to whether the man or his belief is the most essential element in a church pastor. At last night’s reception to Dr. Kummer of the First Methodist Church Rev. E. 8. Chapman, D.D., a man knowr all over the coast, made a speech that has already created wide discussion. “As I stand before you to-night,” said the venerable pastor, “I don’t know what Iam. For many years I filled the pulpit of a Presbyterian church in East Oakland. Then I took a rest. Some time ago I was askea and gladly consented to take the pulpit of the First Methodist Church, and I bad a very pleasant time for a few months, and a few weeks ago I was chosen pastor of the Market-street Congregational OChurch, and everything is harmonious there. I hope I have faithfully followed all the tenets of faith as laid down in the various creeds, for it would be fearful to think that T had advocated heresy. But I must say that whatever denomination 1 have preached to I have not changed my creed—it has always been the same.” The fact that Dr. Chapman had made a success in whatever denomination he had vreached caused a remark to be made that it would not be a bad plan to have Dr. Dille, a Methodist, succeed Dr. McLean. On the stren%th of this casual remark a story was published in several papers that overtures had been made to Dr. Dille and that he was considering them. As matters of fact, Dr. Dille’s name has never been mentioned in connection with the First Congregational Church of Oakland, and according to Judge Haven, one of the trustees, the church is as far from making a choice as ever. - The Man That Has Fits. A lady who had recently moved to a new neighborhood was one morning called to the door by the violent anfing of the bell, On the piazza stood a dapper little man, who immediately commenced talk- ing at a mile-a-minute pace. ‘‘Mornin’, ma’am. Dunno whether you know e or not. Most of the people round here do. I'm the man that has fits.”’ The astonished lady thought that some people claim distinction on very strange, not to say unfit, grounds. “Yes'm; have fits any time, an he went on. “Liable to drop flg{ in one anywhere. ’Spect to get a Sellin’ these wire hooks for bir Every one buys some. Give me anything they likes—5 cents or 25 cents. Every- body helps ine, cos’ they know I have fits liable to drop right down in one any- where.” The dazed listener hastily gave him what change she had and closed the door, thanking her lucky stars that he didn’t feel called uvon ‘‘to drop down in one” right there.—Boston Transcript. place,” t down nsion.

A HOT FIGHT FOR EIS PLACE. Many Democrats Ambitious to Suc- ceed Him as Superintendent of the Hospital. Dr. Frank H. Titus has resigned his position as superintending physician of the City and County Hospitai. He called at Mayor Sutro’'s office yesterday and handed to Clerk Rodgers an envelope which contained his resignation. It was brief, simply announcing that his term of office would soon expire and requesting that Le be relieved from his duties as superintendent of the hospital at the carliest convenience of the Board of Health. Mayor Sutro is president of the board. “It will be a relief to me,”’ said Dr. Titus, *‘to get out of office, not that I have not always found my duties agreeable, but the task of superintending an institution like the County Hospital is no easy one. It is a trying position. Besideseverything was not to my satisfaction, but I did the best I could under the circumstances by simply performing my duties without fear or favor. “What will I do?” continued the doctor, 1n answer to a question as to his future. | “Oh, I will continue to live herein San Francisco among my friends and practice m{ profession.”’ A ¥ 5 t had been mooted in political circles tbat Dr. Titus would eventually resign, as the pressure the members of the Board of Health—the Democratic members—had brought to bear against him would neces- sarily force him to retire. At a seecret ses- sion of the board, held in the office of Dr. Fitzgibbon after the silent hour of mid- night, some three weeks ago, the question of apsoindng a successor to Dr. Titus ct;s?lse a split in the “solid four” of the ody. F * Dr. Williamson, who is the only Republi- can on the board, insisted on the reap- pointment of Dr. Titus. He made the matter a personal one, and thought that 1t was only fair that he should name the Superintendent of the hospital, since he had stood firm on all other appointments suggested by his medical associates. hfi\yor Sutro was not present at this meeting. He had become disgusted with the wholesale removals from office by the heretofore “solid four”” of the board, and refused to attend any more of its meetings. Drs. Hart, Morse and Fitzgibbon succeeded in stroking Dr. Wililamson down the back until they had worr his coat about thread- | bare. When it come to the Titus matter, however, Williamson entered a vigorous protest. In fact, his vigor broke up the meeting—tore up everything about Dr. Fitzgibbon’s office except the carpets. Dr. Titus was much dissatisfied for some time past. In his annual report filed with the Board of Health a few weeks ago he intimated that his term of office would soon expire and he wounld be in readiness to be relieved. He took occasion tode- nounce the management of the County w Hospital since it was neither under the | * direction of the Board of Health nor the Board of Supervisors. This conflict of au- thority made it difficult for the Superin- | tendent in managing the affairs of the institution. The Board of Supervisors | purchasea the supplies and controlled the | expenses of the hospital, while the Board of Health filled the orders, created much of the general cxpense and made the ap- pointments. Dr. Titus alsd drew attention to the lack of accommodations at the hospital and | urged the erection of additional buildings. | He drew attention to minor grievances, all of which tended to fill his cup of disap- pointment to overflowing. The resignation of Dr. Titus will proba- bly be accepted at the regular meeting of the Board of Health, which will be held next Wednesday, and his successor ap- pointed. There are hundreds of Demo- crats anxious to step into Dr. Titus’ official shoes. The helmets of the medieval knights | always bore the colors of the wearer’s sweetheart. .CONDENSED MILK..

S BARNES, DISTRICT AT- A torney of the City and County of San Francisco: Please take notice that on or about the 7th day of October, 1895, an appilcation will be made 10 the Governor of the State of California for the pardon of JOHN COONEY, who was convicted on the 28th. dsy or January, 1887, In the Superior Court in and for the City and County of San Francisco of the crime of robbery. JAMES H. CAMPBEL Attorney for said JOHN COONE NEW TO-DAY. After a Long Ride OU FEEL A SORT OF WEAKNESS IN the back, above the hips, which indicates that everything is not well with you there. Wheeling is nice—it is healthful, but it un- covers the weak spots. If you are not strong in the back it gives you that “tired feeling,” which means weak kidneys, weak nerves and the near approach of Nervous Debility. DR. SANDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT Is especially adapted, with its strengthening, invigorating currents, to the restoration of nerve and muscular power. It tones up the Kidneys, contracts weakened and relaxed mus- cles,and removes those thousand and one symp- toms which unfit a rider for the performance of any long-continued or violent exercise. A little book, “Three Classes of Men,” ex- plaining its use for men and women, is in-| structive and may lead you to a way to make your riding more exhilarating and less danger- ous to your health.
