In 1852 Horace Carpentier, Andres: Mhoon, Edward Adams, A. N.| Burrell and Stephen Maurier - met in that | old building nowin: ruins and transacted the deed that transferred Oakland’s water | front to Horace Carpentier, which act has | kept this clty in litigation for over twenty s The Du Bois restaurant was one of the | oldest places in the county. Thirty-six years ago Mr. and Mrs. Du Bois came to this coast and opened a saloon, bowling alley and boathouse on the street that is now Broadway. In those days the hovse was at the water's edge and the boats were | kept in a part of the house. ‘The Du Bois | plice soon became popular, and as nearly all Oskland was then south of what is now | Beventh street it was the scene of many ‘l merry-makings. At that time it was not | considered -advisable to go north of the plaza, where the Hall of Records now stands, and Mrs, Du Bois says she can dis- tinctly recell the terror the thought of go- | ing beyond that place inspired. All along | | the water front were houses and salouns, | and all Oakland life and gayety was cen< tered there. In those days the old Frenchman made | money, but -it went as easily as it came, and when he died nearly twenty years ago | his wife was left penniless. The landing | at Du Bois’ place was filled in and a wharf | built, obliterating all “traces of the former | boating landing. The Du Bois house and | the old portico courthouse stood side by | | side and grew old and dilapidated to-| | gether, -Mrs. Du Bois. continued to live| in her house, and it began to be filled with | curios and relics brought by sea captains | who used to patronize the place in the | daysof “the old man.” % | | _When the fire came last night Mrs. | | Du Bois was almost frantic in her efforts | | to save her treasures. She did not cease | | trying to collect them together till the | | flames drove her away. Then she firat realized her danger. She rushed to. the | porch on the second floor, and, seizing the | signboard,” swung herself far out and landed in the street. Her keepsakes were | nearly .2ll destroyed in the. flames,. to- gether with about $200 in cash. All this morning Mrs. Du Bois and her friends searched among the ruins, but only succeeded in recovering $:0. The total loss of the fire is greater than was at first supposed. Itis now thought that the losses will not be less than LAY WEFS BALL Western Shore Lodge Welcomes Guests From All Over the Division. | | | | | Masonic Hall Was Decorated With Headlights, Signals, Flags and Flowers.

There Was Not Enough Money Col- lected to Pay for the Lights Used. OAKLAND, Car., March 31.—The im- | mense audience which crowded the Taber- | nacie Sunday evening to hear Evangelists Sankey and Stebbins sing zave the manage- ment great hopes of a fine sum from the collections, which they intended taking for the Young Men’s Christian Association work; but there is great disappointment. The vast audience was somewhat di satisfied at. the trend the meeting took. All the churches closed in honor of the visitors, and 1t was thought that the affair was going to take the form of a huge evangelistic meeting. Instead, it was an appeal for funds for Y. M. C. A. work, and many expressed disapproval of that fact and voted the union meeting a failure in spite of the great crowd. The polite ushers had been carefully dritled, and many of them were old bands at gathering the stray nickels at church meetings. Row after row they passed and failed to catch even the much-despis-d penny. They then began to be apprehen- sive of their hats, and it was with a iong- drawn sigh of relief that they gained ossession of them at the close, When the sum total had been added it was found that the lights could not be paid for out of the collection. Qaklanders claim that this fact can be accounted for by the presence of five hundred San Fran- ciscans, who came over on one train, and many suburbans who came early and were the first to get into the Tabernacle. They give as a proof of this that at the overflow meeting held in the First Presbyteritan Church, where most of the Oaklanders had to g6 on being crowded out of the former place, the collection amounted to $80 and pledges to $264. Secretary McCoy of the San Francisco association, who pleaded so eloquently for a large collection, .was the most ~dis- gusted man in the house when in- formed of the fact. He declared that in twenty years’ labors he had never met with so hard-hearted and close-fisted an audience. —————— A Small Fire. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 31.—An alarm was turned in this moyning from box 41, occasioned by @ fire in the roof of a build- ing at 1620 Park street occupied by the family of R. A. Priest. The fire extinguish- ing apparatus was out upon the street to admit of exercising the horses and were at the scene almost instantly. The fire was a against the proposed athletic park. From now on the two elements will contest for supremacy until one or the other gives up and acknowledges defeat. This action is as sudden as it is surpris- ing, and the friends of the proposed recrea- tion grounds are trying to find out just where they are at. The idea had been received with great favor up to this action of the Endeavorers, and it seemed to be in a fair way to be realized. It may be realized yet, but still there is now to be a contest if the project is carried forward. The idea was to establish an athletic park where all kinds of athletic tourna- ments might be held, such as bicyele rac- ing, football conte: baseball = games, track and field athletics, ete. It is believed that it would be the means of attracting large crowds to the town who would spend money with the local merchants. The re- sult would be that times would materially mmprove and the town would be known wherever athletes congregate. There are three good-sized Christian En- deavor societies in the town, one each in the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congre- gational churches. These young people see in the proposed athletic grounds only Sunday desecration and temptation to beer and whisky drinking for young men and younfi women, and to even worse things. They have declared against any such action and will leave no stone un- turned to defeat the proposition. Just what their success will be remains to be seen. They are contident, however, of winning and refer to what, at San Lorenzo, only a few miles away, the Christian Endeavorers in ‘one small so- ciety have done 1n opposing as powerful a corporation as the Oakland, Haywards and San Leandro Railroad. That com- pany is the owner of a fine recreation | grove at San Lorenzo, but cannot lease it, as the applications for permits to secure liquor licenses have all been successfully | protested. | _Some six months ago Fred Bormann filed an application with the Board of Supervisors for a liquor license, but the Christian Endeavor Society of the local i churel, led by their pastor, Rev. George | T. McCollum, began a campaign of resist- | ance that has succeeded in knocking out their avplications. The fourth was filed with the board ves- terday and is likeiy to meet a similar fate. This has enconraged the Haywards society | to believe that it can by united effort keep | the town from being any worse than it is | in the way of a Sunday resort. | 1 1t is possible that tie local societies will ;:ppelfl to the Alameda County Christian | Endeavor Union for moral and financial | support. This latter body has over 5000 | members and all are strongly opposed to | anything that will make Sunday & ple:s- | ure day rather than a day for rest and worship. The subject is one that will enlist their sympathies and support in every available manner. The result of this unique contest will be watched with great interest by all inter- ested on either side of the question throughout the county. A SANTA CRUZ MAN. George Tate Will Be Grand Marshal of the Great Parade of the Young Men’s Institute. HAYWARDS, CaL, March 31.—The committee of arrangements for the ap- proaching annual meeting of the Grand Council of the Young Men’s Institute has decided to award the contract for music during the meeting to the Qakland Con- cert band of Alameda County. This was done after bids had been considered from all the leading bands of the State. The only band that was really consid- ered as a competitor was the Mare Island band of Vallejo, which offered to bring a choir along with them. The demaud for loyalty to the county, however, won the day, and the delegates will be regaled with music by home musicians. J. H.
