Buckley of Contra Costa County, started an agitation to-day in favor of con- structing a tunnel through the hills between Alameda and Contra Costa counties, His plan is to stir up public interest until the next Legislature meets and then push through a_bill authorizing the tunne!, the two counties to provide the funds. This, he savs, is the only means by which funds can be secured for the work, as efforts for the last five years have re- sulted in nothing being accomplished. At the Macdonough. The Reliance and Acme clubs have called a treater run for bicycle night (next Wednesday) at the Macdonough. 'They will wear their club uniforms, and a num- ber of other clubs will also attend.

Belles In Bloomers Turn Out With Fish-Horns and BellsIn- numerable. OAKLAND, Car, Sept. 26.—The Oak- land cyclists’ protest on wheels was a grand success. A thousand obedient citi- | zens gave a public demonstration to-night | of the effect of the new ordinance regu- | lating bicycling. Last night the streets were quiet and eighteen riders were required to deposit $5 with the police to secure their liberty. To-night, the streets were like a frontier | circus and no one was arrested, because | they ali obeyed the law. | *“Loudly and continuously” must the horns or bells sound, says the ordinance. Loudly and continuously did the thousand cyclists toot their horns or ding their bells. There is no provision regarding the degree of loudness or classification of horns or e bathing-suifs to | bells, and this license was generously v should be finally | taken advantage of. The whole affair was lives near the estu- | an o piece of | rganized protest against a urden- legislation that wheelmen tiink hboring boat clubs that the | some and unnecessary. The riders formed | in a procession, and, armed with cowbells ee decided that they would | and. horns, they traversed the city for ew trips to the bathing grounds | hours. luring the coming week, and see | The procession was unique. It started with a hundred riders, and at every street corner it was joined by others till it was | several blocks in length.” Scores of ladies | wearing bloomers were among the noisiest | of those who obeyed the law. There were | several tandems, and each rider, whether wearing bloomers or knickerbotkers, had | taken the precaution to provide the neces- | sary instruments to make loud and con- | tinuous noises. Such noise and disorder were never before seen on the streets, and it is the general opinion that the new ordi- | nance will soon be repealed. The cyclists think that they are getting the worst of it. In the first vlace they were run off the sidewalks; then they were unceremoni- | ously hauled in for not bearing lamps aiter dark, and now they are being jailed for not whistling. They have also learnea that there is a movement on foot to pass an or- dinsnce compelling them when within the city limits to go no faster than is allowed by the carriage ordinance, namely, eight | miles an hour, and this will be the last nail in their coffin, and while it is being forged they propose to be up and doing. | Tiey did something to-night and every citizen is aware of it. The present proposi- tion is for the riders to form ina gigantic | procession each night and armed’ with | cowbells and whistles to traverse the dis- | tricts- after nightfall announcing them- | selves, as they pass each street-crossing ac- | cording to the terms of the ordinance. | The cyclists think that two or three ni%ms of this will result in a hurried repeal of the measure. There seems to be no way to stop them from thus asserting themselves, for they will be acting under absolute command of the ordinance during their tour. They propose anyhow to show that the wheelmen form a power in this city and politicians who expect to ask favors at their hands at coming elections will | have to be careful NN S ON CHIALR, She Says It Ought to Get Out of the Middle of the Road. Now Maldens Want Thelr Lovers to Stay and Live and Not Ride Off to Die. The Rev. Anna H. Shaw entertained a large audience at Golden Gate Hall on Sut- ter street last night, with a discourse on the “Injustice of Chivalry.” Before the lecture was ended Miss Shaw had arrived, by natural stages, at a discourse upon the necessity of allowing women the ballot, for, as she expressed it, she is here in the interest of the Women's Suffrage Asso- ciation. During her address Miss Shaw said: I wish to wage no war with men. In fact I don’t know what we do without them. I am sure I should not wish to be without you. But at the same time I wage warfare against wrongs. Any class of men or women content to live under unjust conditions is as responsible as those who impose them. In days of chivalry man protected woman because she was his property. To-day protec- tion of women by man is due to a mucflugher code of chivalry. The knigit of ancient times would kiss his hand to the weeping maiden at the balcony and ride off to die; to-day the girl would prefer to keep him within ihe castle walls. To-day two young fellows do not fight ior‘n girl’s hand, but try to beat each other out. 1 do not know why woman should not earn her bread as well as man should. Shall these toilers be rivals or friends? Competition used to be considered the life of trade, but in this latter time we believe co-operation is the spirit of industry. We do notwant men todie for usas in the chivalrous past; we would prefer that they should live with us. The only thing I ask of chivalry is that it get out of the middle of the road. ivalry belongs to warlike times of the past. When Edward Everett Hale says that woman forfeits the chivalrous attentions of man when she enters man’s work, he turns his face back eight centuries. This is the better chivalry which makes men treat women as women and women treat men as men, I believe there never was atime when family life was lovelier and bappier than it is now. "I believe that parental sweetness to children never was greater than it is now. . The difference between the life in California in 1895 and in 1850 is the difference of goumry with woman and & country without er. THE LIQUOR WAR IS ON, Adventists Make a Vigorous Protest Against Sunday Closing. ENDEAVORERS ARE CONFIDENT. Both Sides Claim to Be Able to Present a Majority Pe- titlon. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 26. | The first big gun in the campaign for the Sunday closing of saloons was fired to- day by the Seventh-day Adventists. Thousands of copies of an octavo illus- trated magazine of eight pages, entitled “The Present Crisis,”’ were distributed free all over the city, declaring in every article that Sunday closingisin the nature of religious legislation, and as such is op- posed to the spirit of the constitution. The Adventists are stronger in Oakland than in any other city of the coast, but, al- though they havealwaysopposed what they call “Sunday laws,” they have never before made such a spirited appeal to the citizens, There is not a line of matter in the whole magazine that does not bear direcily on the subject at issue, and it forms one of the strongest campni?n documents that has ever appeared in Alameda County. The foliowing paragraph clearly shows the stand of the Adventists The Alameda County (Cal) Christian En- deavor convention of July 17, 1893, declared, in their protest against the opening of the Midwinter Fair on Sunday, that it “would be a dishonor to d and a grievous violation of his law," and_therefore thiey pelitioned “that the Lord’s day be respected by closing the gates on that day.” The above utterances clearly show that these religious organizations, which are be- hind this Sunday closing and all Sunday law tation, count the Sunday as a religious in- ution, an “essential factor” of religion, and that they demand laws for the enforcement of its observance for this reason. The movement is, therefore, an essentially religious one, To offset any charge that an alliance has | been formed with the saloon-keepers there is an editorial from which the following paragraph is taken: We have been told that Sunday-closing laws are temperance measures, but it 1s obvious to Ul that the results of liquor arinking are as evil on one day as another. The only logical temperance law is that which will close the saloons every day. Were the present move- ment really in the interests of temperance this article would not be written. The saloon is so great an evil that language cannot picture The misery, woe, wretchedness, crime, grief, groans, tears and despair which resuit from it cannot be desciibed. They must be seen and felt. Bata Sunday law will not cure them. It may diminish drinking a little for one day in the week, but it will make the saloon respect- able the other six days. Again, the same power which can close saloons one day in the week in & republic can close them seven days in the week if it isso disposed. That it does not do this shows that the proposed ordinance is not a temperance measure, but a religious mensure. The city Christian Endeayor Union, which has decided to vigorously prosecute a campaign to have an ordinance passed, ordering the closing of saloons on Sundays, is already hard at work. The members are ing the city and committees will be appointed who will see that a petition is ented to every resident in the city. hey declare that they can obtain a ma- jority of the signatures of all the residents, and that when such a petition is presented the Council will have no alternative but to pass the desired ordinance. It isstated that three out of the eleven Councilmen have already pledged themselves to vote for the ordinance. The Endeavorers are very sanguine and declare that they will have carried their point before the advent of the new year. hey have the backing of nearly all the church party and of the prohibitionists. The opponents of Sunday closing are also hard at work and declare with equal confidence that they can obtain a majority petition. From this time on the crusade regarding Sunday closing will be bitterly waged on both sides. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Football Practice Now in Full Swing, With Forty-Five Aspirants.

Kicking and falling on the ball will be the order of practice for several days, Coach Butterworth desiring that the men shall become hardened before line work is commenced. The bleachers were filled this afternoon with students and visitors. ““Frats’’ Raised Cain. A vast amount of silent indignation has existed on the part of the student body within the last few days as a result of the unbecoming acts of a’ party of fraternity men last Monday night in attempting to give Editor Case of '97’s Blue and Gold a sbskmf up because he supported a non- fraternity man in the race for the presi- dency of the junior class. When the party of “frat” men left Case's house at a late hour of the night, after attempting to exact an explanation from him, they Earudad the streets and made the night ideous with their yells. The Berkeleyan, the University daily, has taken up the matter, and in this morning’s issue it scored unmercifully the students who took part in the disturbance. It has been inti- mated that the faculty will make an in- vestigation of the matter. To Prevent Book-Stealing. The executive committee of the Asso- ciated Students met this afternoon, and at the suggestion of Mr. Rowell, the libra- rian, decided that they would presenta resolution to the student body at their next meeting, which will provide for the appointment of a permanent committee, whose duty it shall be to take cognizance of all cases where rules of the library are broken as regards taking books therefrom without proper authority, and act there- upon. This action has been necessitated by the fact that during the past year 135 volumes, most of - which are valuable works, have been taken surreptitiously from the University library shelves. Hose-Thieves at Work. : A pack of sneak-thieves have been at work during the last few days in the pre- cincts of Berkeley, making a specialty of stealing garden hose and tools.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA Clerk Lamborn Preparing Fig- ures for the Tax Levy. The Tax Will Probably Be Placed at One Dollar and Twenty Cents. ALAMEDA, Sept. 26. — Acting under instructions of the City Trustees, City Clerk Lamborn has been preparing an es- timate of the tax levy for the ensuing year.

Wittich to recover $140, balance due on the construction of a house, was tried before City Recorder St. Sure, who took the case under advisement. The case of Sevmour Arada to recover $299 damages from the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont Railway l‘umpnn{ was taken under advisement by Justice Morris | yesterday.

Fox was | tried before Justice Morris this afternoon, | and, although he tried hard to prove that ! he had never seen the Chinaman before | and was only running for a train when | arrested last Tuesday afternoon, he lmdi no witnesses, and the court mulcted him in the above sum. Mr. Frodden’s Substitute. City Enginegr Poyzer is attending to the duties of Street Superintendent Frodden, | who is confined to his home on account of the injuries received when thrown out of | his cart last Tuesday night. —_————— A PorurLAr DeLustoN.—In a recent dis- | cussion of the suitability of the white race | for the gigantic work of colonization that | is going on in Africa, Dr. C. F. Taylor made some interesting remarks on climate and health. He says it is a delusion born | of the constant assertions of the advo-| cates of negro slavery before the American | war that white people cannot work in the | tropics. In Porto Rico, Central America, | Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, etc., white men live, work and flourish. The oppressiveness of tropical heat is to a great | extent counteracted if prover clothing and reginien is adopted. If is said to be even beneficial to many Europeans and Ameri- | cans by relieving their nervous tension and inducing a certain ‘‘repose” of manner. ‘Wakefulness is rare in the tropics; the increased action of the skin relieves the kidneys, while the bland, soft air promotes respiration. The golden rule is to live so as to be always comfortable—in other words, to adapt oneself intelligently to the changed conditions. Although Dr. | Ts:iylor's injunctions are well advised, the | old maxim holds good that white men living in the tropice should, wherever pos- sible, take a few montns’ change in a tem- perate climate once in every three years. BicvoLe Nores.—The list of industries whose degeneration is attributed to the | bicycle craze is steadily growing. Piano- forte dealers say that their sales are greatly reduced since young people took to the pepular outdoor exercise. Children who were formerly compelled to give a number of hours daily to piano practice are now allowed to spend more time in the open air, and this tendency has been greatly en- couraged by the warnings given by the medical profession against the ill effects, which are becoming too common, of too close application to study. Young mar- ried couples, who would at one time have devoted their savings to the purchase of a piano, now invest in bicycles and go on summer trips instead of discoursing music. Jewelers complain that bicycle-riding has reatly impaired the watch business. hen a boy became 15 or 16 years old it used to be the custom for his parents to present him with a watch—oiten a costly affair—which might last him the better part of his life. Now, the boy clamors for 2 bicycle, and he generally gets it, although it does not last as long and generally costs more than a watch. The same thing hap- pens with grown-up folks. When they get enough money on hand to buy a watch the bicycle fever strikes them and the money iz spent on a wheel ————————————————————— Movements of Trans-Atlantic Steamer: NEW YORK—Arrived Sept 26—Simr Patria, from Hamburg.
