A rited States Marshal placed a 's lock upon the saloon, as Bottom- ley has defaulted on a United States liquor bond in the sum of $200. SUPERE VIEWS. Boulevard Tract an Ideal Place for Homes. There is a general feeling of expectancy across the bay regarding the sale of the Boulevard tract on the eastern shore of Lake Merritt, an event which is to occur aturday afternoon next at 2 o'clock. Never before has such residence property been put up at auction in the Athenian City, for, in addition to its magnificent scenic location, with Lake Merritt at one side and the Piedmont range to the north, it is in the very heart of town. All the electric lines can be reached by a few minutes’ walk, and two of the leading systems run on the very boundaries of the property. The principal business thor- oughfare to Oakiand is but half adozen blocks distant, so in every sense the tract is admirable for a awelling place. The lots are all large and each commands & superb view across the lake. Macadam- ized streets surround the property, which is thoroughly sewered and tlanked by cement sidewalks. Altogether $50.000 has been ex- pended on its improvement in the last two years, and with its charmingly laid-out 100-foct driveway it is an ideal home sec- tion. Oakland’s Death of J. H. Lawton.

Dr. Julius Koeblg Lectures on Sugar Beets—To Save Dampened Almonds. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 25.—A large number of West Berkeley citizens as- sembled last night at the call for a mass- meeting by the Progressive Club, for the purpose of discussing the proposed street and High School bond systems. The mat- ter of improving the school system was first taken up, and after much di a vote was taken as to the best policy to pursue in the matter, to erect a $75,000 high-school building or to expend that amount on grammar-school buildings. It was unanimously carried to follow the latter course. The street-bo nding scheme was agitated at length, but no decision was reached further than to present petitions to the | Town Trustees asking that Fifth, Sixth and Delaware streets be improved under the bond system. Superintendent of Streets Guy Chick announced that of the eighteen street contracts now in course of operation only one was in West Berkeley, thus presenting the need of work in that section. Another mass meeting was announced for two weeks from Jast night, st which the street proposition will be further dis- cussed. Lecture on Sugar-Beet Culture. Dr. Julius Koebig, an industrial chemist from San Francisco, delivered the first of a series of three lectures before the agricul- tural department this morning on the gen- eral culture of sugar beets. The next two lectures, which will be open to the general public, will be held on | Friday morning, September 27, at 11:15, and on the following Monday at the same hour. The topics will be on the processes of separating the sugar from the beet pulp after it has reached the factory. Another Vine Pest. A. P. Hayne, instructor in charge of viti- culture at the university, has just returned from a trip to Napa and Sonoma counties, where he went to ‘investigate certain vine pests which have been_infecting the vine- yards in that section. When asked to-day as to the result of his work he said: *“The trouble seems to be due to the non-resist- ance of stocks upon which the graits have been made. It has been supposed that only riparia or vines grafted on riparia were affected, but investigation showed that this is not the case, the trouble having been found to a greater or less extenton all kinds of vines.” To Save the Almond Crop. Professor Hilgard, head of the depart- ment of agriculture at the university, is conducting experiments with a quantity of almonds which were exposed to the re- cent rains, and which in consequence are covered with a species of mold. He is en- deavoring by means of chemical processes to make the almonds which receivea a wet- ting marketable without doing any injury to the kernels. The kernels of the sam- ples are hard and in perfect condition, but the shells are much affected. He says that 100 tons of the nut are concerned in the investigation. To Arrange for Their Parties. A meeting of the class of 99 has been called for next Friday afternoon, at which will be determined the time and place for holding its glee. The sophomore class wiil bold a meeting on next Monday for the purpose of arranging the details of its hop. Life on a Man-of-War.

DR. RADER CALLED. The Third Congregational Church Is Anxious to Secure His Services as Pastor. Last Wednesday night the Third Congre- gational Church, Fifteenth street, San Francisco, extended a unanimous call to the Rev. Willam Rader, associate pastor of the First Congregational Church, Oak- land, to become their pastor. A meeting of the society was held last night, at which the action of the church was ratified. A committee was appointed to present the call to Mr. Rader. If Dr. Rader refuses the call it is prob- able that the congregation of the Third Congregational Church will ask Rev. Dr. Wyhte to occupy the pulpit temporarily. He preached at the church for the first time last Sunday, and all his hearers ex- resscd general satisfaction at his short Eut eloguent sermon. Dr. Wyhle is a Russian Jew, who some time ago changed his belief and went over to the Congregational denomination. He graduated at Knox College, and afterward studied divinity at Harvard. At present he is connected with the Chicago Uni- versity, and President Harper is very loth to see him sever his connection with that institution. Dr. Wyhle is only on a visit to the Pacific Coast, and if Dr. Rader de- clines the call to the Third Congregational Church an effort will be made to induce him to take the pastorate temporarily, him to remain, BELLS OR HORNS NEEDED, How Cycling Is Now Regu- lated by the Oakland Police. NUMEROUS ARRESTS ARE MADE. Riders From Surrounding Countles Should Carefully Read the Ordinance. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} < 908 Broadway, Sept. 2: Bicycle legislation in this city may be said to have reached a climax yesterday in the enforcement of an ordinance that is of mterest to the wheelmen of half a dozen counties. Every Sunday thousands of cyclists are on the streets of Oakland from San Fran- cisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties, and during the past sum- mer scores of arrests have been made for violating the bicycle ordinance. Nearly all the offenders, after being arrested, or driven in the patrol wagon to the City Hall, declared their ignorance of the law, but all were mulcted in the sum of $5. Last night the police officers were noti- fied to enforce the clause relating to the bell or horn, which must be sounded “Joudly and continuously immediately before reaching and while traversing every public street crossing.”” Three arrests were made last night of young men who had neither horns nor bells. As the words “loudly and continuously” admit of so wide interpretation, it is expected that much difficulty wiil be experienced in se- curing convictions. The ordinance con- tains some very stringent clauses and has already been the means of adding hun- dreds of dollars to the city treasury. The ordinance is as follows: It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person or persons to ride upon the sidewalk of any public street, lane or alley, or within any public park or square, within the limits of the city of Oakland, any bicycle, tricycle or veloci- llm‘e between the hours of 6 P. M. and 6 A. M. Every person riding a_ bicycle, tricycle or ves ede upon any sidewaik of any public street, lane or slley, or within any puolic square, within the limits of the city land, between the hours of6 4. shall immediately dismount from said bicycle, tricycle or velocipede npon meeting or over- taking any person who may then and there be walking or standing upon said sidewalk or within said public square. ivery person riding & bicycle, tricycle or velocipede in the nighttimeé in any public street within the limits of the city of Oaklana must have alamp and bell or horn attached thereto and must keep the said lamp lighted and must ring the said bell or sound the said horn loudly and continuously immedia before reaching and while traversing every public street crossing. Every person who shall violate any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of & misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $100 for every offense, and in case said fine be not paid then the per- son or persons so fined shall be imprisoned in the City P n of the city of Oakland at the 1ate of one day for each $2 of the fine so im- posed and remaining unpaid. T0 VE1D THE Tht LEW The Mayor Will Accept Noth- ing Higher Than One Dollar. He Intends to Falthfully Obey the City’s Organic Law to the Letter. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 25. } Mayor Davie will veto any tax levy that exceeds $1 on every $100 worth of prop- erty. He has not said so in so many words, but enough has been said to make it conclusive that he will veto the pro- posed ordinance making a levy of $118 and take his stand upon the charter, which the Mayor always refers to as ** the brganic law of the municipality.’” The city charter limits the taxation for municipal purposes to §1, and permits an increased rate only for the purposes of bond interest and redemption. The 18 cents beyond the limit is for this purpose, but Mayor Davie contends that 82 cents will bring in a suflicient revenue to con- auct the city government if it be used economically. On this ground also he will have his reason for disapproving the ordi- nance. As the Finance Committee will not be able to secure the necessary eight votes to pass it over the veto a deadlock will be the result. The levy of $1 18 is not popular, because the committee has not given any pledge regarding the use to which the large sur- plus fund will be put. The levy was made up in a secret session, at which Messrs, Bassett, Brosnahan and Heitman refused to participate. Auditor Snow is not satis- fied with the proposed levy, although he declares the dollar limit is too smail. The manner in which the holders of bonds due on October 1 are protected was made public to-day. Whenever a bond is presented at the city treasury the interest will be paid, and the person presenting the bond be invited to walk over to the Central Bank, where the bond will be cashed. The bank will hold these bonds as security until the city sells the new bonds and repays the bank. LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA, Where Will the New Indus- trial School Be Located ? A Committee Appointed to Solicit Subscriptions for the New Wilmerding School. ALAMEDA, Can, Sept. 25.—*Should the Wilmerding Industrial School be es- tablished in San Francisco?’ This is a question being widely discussed. The fund for the establishment and main- tenance of the school has been paid in cash and is now awaiting distribution by the Regents, but the latter have many sites to select from. Besides the twoin Alameda locations in Oakland and San Jose Lave been.considered. It is not thought that final action upon the site will be taken before Christmas and no report will be made to tbe board for at least two months yet. This morninfi Chairman Forderer an- nounced the following nine citizens to so- licit subscriptions to purchase a site for the school in ameda: Henry Sevening, G. A. Blank, C. C. Volberg, J. A. Remmel, G. T. Wright, Michael Kane, Ben F. Lamborn, J. 8. Hanley and David Hirschfeld. In a letter of notification sent to each of the nine citizens it 1s stated that the subscrip- tions are tobe made upon the condition that the Regents of the State University of California select a site and locate the Wil- merding Trades Schoolin the city of Ala- meda. o 3 Frodden Injured.

The Marriage Took Place. True love never does run smooth. This was exemplified this evening in the case of Louis Richardson and Hannah Farrell, who were made one by the Rev. Father McMahon. The groom could not get his license until His blushing ‘bride made an affidavit that she was over 18, and there- fore able to choose for herself. The County ICAerk is lying low, dodging the mother-in- aw. Reception to Dr. Bovard. A reception will be tendered to Rev. Dr. F. D.

Seats may be reserved at Sherman & Clay’s without addi- tional expense. How to Develop Cloud Pictures. Pictures taken simply of clouds, without special attention to the landscape, should be developed very slowly in order to bring ]oucaume soft shadows, which_are lost it the development is hurried. Where the clouds and landscape have been taken in one picture, the printing quality of the negative may be made uniform by careful developmentof the plate. Place the plate in a rather weak de- veloper, and as soon as the outlines of the landscape begin to appear, take it out and place it ina dish of clean water so as to arrest the development. Pour off the developer, put the plate back in the tray, and finish the plate with brush develop: ment. To do this, take a soft camel’s-hair brush or a small wad of surgeon’s cotton, dip into the developer, and brush over the part of the plate which developes more slowly, which will be the landscage. As soon as this part is nearly developed, flood the plate with a weak solution of de- veloper, increasing it in strength till the sky is fully developed. Brush develop- ment requires a careful hand, but, like any other part of photography, becomes easy by repeated trials. Another way of developing one part of the plate at a time is to take the plate from the tray as soon as the outlines appear; turn off the developer and wash the plate. Put it back in the tray, and tip the tray so that the sky will be out of the developer, turn in the developer, and rock the tray gently to and fro, but do not allow any of the developer to touch the sky until the shadows in the Jandscape are well out. When the shadows are nearly or quite developed flood the whole plate with the developer. The sky will develop very quickly, and if the process is 'curefullf' watched a fine even-printing negative will be the result. This plan of development is most successful where the horizon-line is not too much broken. Having once succeeded in catching the clouds, one will never be quite satisfied with a landscape picture which has a per- fectly clear sky.—Harper’s Round Table. ————— Not After the Widow. At high noon I rode to a settler’s dug- out on the banks of the American River to see if I could get a bite to eat, but before I had dismounted from my horse a woman came out and saluted me with: «“Hello, stranger!

YOUNG SOLOISTS TRAINED, Novel Feature in Teaching Music at the Cooper Pri- mary School. EXAMPLE OF EARLY TRAINING. Every One of the Six Hundred Pu- pils Isan Independent Vocalist. The Cooper Primary School is training 600 young soloists. They may not all create a stir in the world of music, but they are laying 1 a supply of self-reliance that will serve them well through life. There is not a pupil in the school, not even the particular small boys known in the teachers’ vernacular as “errors,” who is not able to sing inde- pendently such melodies as are adapted to childish voices. Mme. Celine R. Pechin, the principal of the school, proceeds on the theory that every one may sing ‘“‘more or less,” and that timidity is the real cause of failure in that line. She believes that seli-conscious- ness is an enemy to the development of the voice, and knows that that is lacking in the youngest children of school age. Hence she begins with the receiving class in ner teaching of music. Six-year-olds who are w restling with the mysteries of ‘“cat’” and ‘““mat’’ sang rote songs yesterday with considerable regard Principal of Cooper Primary School and Deputy Superintendent Bab- cock Viewing a Class Exercise. for time and tune. They were as anxious to sing as to read and spell, and aid so with an entire absence of self-conscious- ness. They told the song story of ‘“‘How Baby Played with a Ball,” and’ lulled the imag- inary infant to rest with ‘‘Sleep, Baby, Sleep.”” There was not the exuberant en- thusiasm shown in schools where pupils regard music as an occasional luxury. Neither was the singing mechanical. Singing 1s one of the regvlar and frequent exercises of the school and is so-regarded by the little ones, and is done in the same responsive spirit that characterizes the entire programme of the school. The plan of the princigal is to give the first two years of the school course to rote singing and development of “tune.” In the third year attention is given to the scale and intervalg, and in the fourth some instruction is given in the different keys and in part singing. Each pupil 18 ex- pected to learn twelve songs a year, all of which he can sing without assistance. There is no exception to the rule. Ifthe voices of the tyros are harsh enough to give pointers to the proverbial buzz-saw they are encouraged to go on, and in a few months’ singing the rasping voice grows softer and there is a break in the mono- tone. ‘““As soon as we hear a varied tonein a line we know there is hope for the pupil,” said Mme. Pechin. *“It is a comparatively easy matter to teach pupils to sing alone if you commence early enough,” she con- tinued. ‘“We could teach very little read- ing or arithmetic by concert exercises. It is j\l§t as useless to teach musicin that way.” In‘regly to_a question as to whether the admirable discipline of the school was cause or effect as regards the novel feature of the work of traming the young idea, Mme. Pechin laughingly answered : “Both. It is an example of reflex ac- tion. Our singing aids in_discipline and the discipline in singing. But the real se- cret of it all is in commencing early, “Look at that child,” and she pointed to a pudgy little fellow who was singing with perfect abandon a “‘gesture song.” ‘‘If he were 12 instead of 6 years old do you think he could be induced to sing like that?” And the mental picture of the little singer twice as large and paininlly conscious of such superflnous members as hands and feet was a grompt negative. The teachers testified to the value of the exercise in the development of indepen- dent habits of thought and actiou and found that the attention necessary for mastering a new song when the learner knew he must soon reproduce it was of great benefit in all the studies and exer- cises of the school course. BOY PAGES IN OONGRESS. Light Duties and Good Pay for Them. One of the best places under the Govern- ment—in salary at least—which a boy can filt is that of a page in either the Senate or House of Representatives at Washingron. The salary is $75 a month, and during the early part of the Congressional sessions the page has little work to do, if the New York Sun is to be believed. His duties do not begin wuntil 11:30 o’clock and they genen]ly end somewhere between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. From the fact that there is so little to do and so much to get—for a boy—the place is much sought for by mothers and fathers who have youngsters whom they wish to put to work. : A place as a page is obtained through a Congressman, and it requires the signa- tures of the majority of a State delegation to get it for a boy. 3 1n the House of Representatives one paEa is appointed for each State, though in the Sen:te there are but twelve boys alto- ther. ge’I‘here is always a hrger list of applicants for these places’in the Senate thanin the House, altough the pay is the same. The daily duties of a page are so few that thay can be told in a very few words. e arrives at the Capitol at11:30 o’clock, straightens the desks of some two or three members, looks solemn while prayers are being said, and then takes his seat on the steps of the Speaker’s desk and waits rest- lessiy, according to his disposition, until some one calls him to run an errand. ‘When a member wants a page he claps his hands, and one of the boys will answer his call immediately. The member usually wants the boy to go to some part of the document room and get a copy of some bill in which he is in- terested. Or he will send him to the Senate with a message. . If hesendshim out of the Capitol build- ing he must give the boy car fare, and usually something more than bare car fare is %wen. hese “extras,” as they are called, that the boys get from the Congressmen some- times amount to more than a day’s salary. It is an annual custom of the pages on the last day of the session to combine their resources and go to the Treasury Depart- ment and change about $20 in pennies. Then he puts the pennies in cases labeled *$” and with them march down Penn- sylvania avenue to the Capitol. On arriving there they go into the House restaurant and order a luncheon, which to the dismay of the proprietor they pay in pennies, That is the closing feast of the season, and then the pages scatter to their homes in various States, to meet again when December comes and law-making is re- sumed. ————— ‘Worth’s Predecessors. There were male dressmakers before ‘Worth. The first celebrity who made his mark in this particular line was Rhom- berg, the son of a Bavarian peasant from the neighborhood of Munich. One day in the month of May, 1730, a beautiful equip- age was seen driving about Paris with an escutcheon in the shape of a corset and an open pair of scissors in the middle, painted on the panel of esch door; that was Rhomberg’s coat of arms, and _it told its own tale. He was a genius in his way, and owed his success chiefly to his skill in disguising slight deformities and bringing out the most at- tractive charms of his fair customers. He rapidly made a fortune and left his heirs an annual income of 50,000 francs. Under the First Empire and the Restoration, Leroy supplied the dresses of the ladies of the court and the higher nohilit{(from his splendid mansion in the Rue Richelieu. An effusive encomium was written upon him by Auger, a member of the Academy. In the winter of 1818 the Duke de Berry sent for the great costumer to,order a ball dress for his wife. This was on the very morning previous to the ball.’ “M. Leroy, I must have a ball costume for this evening.”” The modiste made a bow. “Impossible, your Grace. I never had the honor of dressing her Royal Highness. I have no patterns of hers.” Leroy consulted the lady’s maid. “Has her Highness a dress bodice which can be used as a pattern?” The bodice was produced, and, after re- questing Monseigneur to send him the recious stones to be sewn on the garment, hg prepared to go, when the Prince stopped im: ““You shall not Jeave us, Mr. Leroy.” “But I require my young ladies,” “Send for them to come here.” “But the materials?”’ Let them be fetched.” “My workrooms?” “We have no lack of rooms and tables.” Six seamstresses were summoned and the materials were brought to the palace, where a large workroom was soon im- provised. Leroy, shears in hand, went ravely to work. At 3 o’clock the Duchess de Berry tried on her robe, and six hours later she looked as if shehad escaped from the hands of the fairies.—La Gazette Anec- dotique. . REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. beth B.
