Last year the splendid entertainment each evening ‘was practically lost, as there was nota spare spot to place a chair. This year ttere are a large gallery and & fine auditorium reserved downstairs. In the annex the art display, the pho- tographic exhibits, and as many of the standing exhibits as 1t will hold. In the large canvas-covered structure is the heavy machinery, and in the most open section of the grounds is the space for the fruit, flower and vegetable exhibits. “Then there is something that so far seems to have escaped the attention of the | many who have written of the pig show. | It is the lovers’ walk and is on the south | side of the Tabernacle. When the eye has been surfeited with the display of the| handsome iron work, the pretty carpets | and the big pumpkins that Alameda | County can produce; when the ear has| been satisfied with song, music and ora- tory; when the brain has' been tormented with the buzzing of the machinery, and | when the feet are tired from walking around and among the multitude of hand- | some booths, then the visitors can retire to the grassy walks, generously lined with | seats, where the moon and the distant | electric light will struggle for supremacy. | Thisidea of a lovers’ walk was suggested | erintendent Sharpe by a young | but he refuses to divulge her name.

A Munchausen Story That Originated From the Fact That He : Owns Dogs. OAxLAND OrricE Sax Fraxcisco CALy, 908 Broadway, Aug. 2 ; George Nissen was very much surprised | to read a melo-dramatic story about him- | self thismorningin a San Francisco paper. | Nissen learned in a very sensational | article that he had a genuine case of hydrophobia. He was informed that he was barking and snapping like 2 dog and | biting people right and left. In fact the! story made it appear that Nissen had | created as much excitement and done as | much damage as a haif dozen mad dogs. | At the Receiving Hospital Steward | Victory discovered that the young man | was suffering from indigestion and also a | mild form of convulsion, to which he has | been subject for many years.

Ed- { wards Davis preached to-night his first | sermon since his return. In his absence Rev. Jay William Hudson has, filled the pulpit of the Central Church. The sub- ject was “God’s Mysterious Way.” In part the preacher said: * ‘God’s way is not man’s way' has been a demonstrated truth throughout man- | kind’s history. The universe is shrouded with mystery, as the clouds obscure the sky. The tiny stars baffle the astrono- mer’s eye, and to the microscopist unex- plored caverns exist in the atom’s spliere. Inscrutable law, force and materiality are but partially removed from the realm of the unknowable. In the brief course of man’s allotted time only a glimpse can be caught of earth. But as the scientist has seen part of the mysteries of the material world revealed, so must he see i abstract thought as when in gazing into space, the first faint gleam of brighter beams that far more fair than the celestial stars appear— see the light of intelligence tbat shall re- veal the wonders of the human mind. “God can never be understood by phil- osophy. He can only be known by his manifestations in the Sevior, the cosmos, aflower and a tear, and especially in the knowledge of the self. Hhis infinitude can only be comprehended by the infiuence ot faith. Hence until we partially know | God his ways will be proportionately mys- terious, for the simplification of mystery presages infinite intelligence. There is nota life but has been led by what the follower would call an unseen hand. Our souls, like storm-blown ships, are being borne to quiet havens. Human experi- ence is not complete without defeat, dis- appointment, death, turmoil, trial, tri- umph. After the ascent of Calvary, though blind with woe, then we see the | distant scene and understand.” THE WAIOR OF PARADE |He Wore His Cake-Walk Suit on Broadway, According to Promise. A Small Boy Spoiled His Pleasure by an Uncalled-For Insult. OaxrAND OrricE BAN FraNcisco CAvLy, 908 Broadway, Aug. 2. } Major Waters kept faith with the fash- ionable audience who proclaimed that he wasentitled to the secoud prize at the cakewalk at the Macdonongh. The ma- jor won an order for a suit of clothes and he promised that he would be seen wearing them on Broadway on Sunday. He kept his word. The wrath of Milton Johnson who dis- dainfully refused the second prize lasi Tuesday night was as nothing compared to the wrath of the major when he discov- ered that he must exercise modesty in the choice of his garments or there would be a misunderstanding. 1t all arose out of a misconstruction of a phrase. The major concluded that * good suit of clothes’ meant the best in the house. The donor of the order did not think so. He concluded that the seven feet of the major’s anatomy shouid be considered as having been awarded a good | suit of clothes if the trousers and coat were not full of windows after he had made one of his double-action 45-degree bends. The major went to his closest friend and asked him to accompany him to the tailor. The request was granied, and the major prepared for the ordeal of being measured. He might have saved himself the trouble. The tailor got some double-length trou- sers and standing on a chair he compared them with the jeans the major was wear- ing and said, “To an inch.” A coatana vest were treated the same way and with a “There, major,” the gentleman of height was handed the parcel. The major expressed his surprise, and so did the tailor, but there was no al- ternative and the major left. He wore the suit to-day and bhad not been on Broadway ten minutes before a little news- boy insulted him. He walked up to the official chimney-sweeper, smelled his coat sleeves, and said with a look of deep dis- gust, “Fire sale, two-and-a-halfl.” The major is still Jooking for that boy. . THE NEW WOMAN. Professor Granville E. Foster Sees Her Peurallel in the Book of Esther. BERKELEY, Carn., August 2.—“The Book of Esther and the New Woman” was the subject of a discourse in the North Berkeley Congregational Church this evening by Professor Granville E. Foster. Professor Foster spoke of the ‘‘coming woman,” and gave ideas of what she ought to be in the light of Biblical teach- ine. “Idon’t object to a woman voting or | taking any other part in politics; she may hold offices of trust and honor, but al- ways as a woman,” said the speaker. “From the example of Esther we may judge that the true woman when she votes will vote as a woman and in office will hold office as a woman. It is a de- plorable tendency in some women to biame God because they were not made men, and expressing the blame by adopt- ing mannish ways.’” Professor Foster referred to Queen Vie- toria as a notable example of a woman who remained modest and womanly while doing her part nobly in the polilical worid. The character of Esther was also presented as a conspicuous example to ind, smaller than man’s,” said Professor Fos- ter, “‘but because of fineness of nerve cells, quicker respiration and circulation, woman'’s brain makes up in quality for what it lacks in guantity. Therefore the average woman's brain is as powerful as | the average man’s—though with some | distinction as to the direction in which the power is manifested.” In dismissing the book of Esther the speaker pointed out five peculiarities: 1. Many of the historical statements are obscure. 2. Some ot its_history is at vari- ance with profane records. 3. God’s name does not occur in any form in the book, though the object of the book isto teach his providence. 3. The coloring of the book is foreign, non-Jewish. 5. Though the language of the book is Hebrew of the sixth century, B. C., there isa large ad- mixture of Persian. The professor gave an interesting re- view of Persian manners and customs of the time of the Book of Esther. Yell From a Tree. BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 2.—Edward Hawmpton, the 4-year-old son of Charles Hampton, narrowly escaped death by an accident this morning while climbing a tree on Cordonices Creek.

A man has been adjudged guilty of at- tions governs street railroad franchises, and the prevailing idea seems to be to make those who wish to benefit by the city produce something for the benefit of the city. “In Oakiand everything isjust the other way. The city bas given away every franchise that is of any value and has got nothing in return. All this has been brought about by petty local fights which bave made the city government a mounte- bank show. It is very probable that before long I may go East.” The above remarks were made by ex- Benator Frank J. Moffit the night after his return from notifying W. J. Bryan of the indorsement of his candidacy by the Silver convention,to which Mr. Moffit was a delegate. 1t is surprising how many intelligent people misunderstand the meaning of *‘a dollar tax levy.” A few days ago Auditor Snow published a statement that for the next fiscal year the city can berunona tax of 95 cents. This appears to the unini- tiated as though the Aunditor was going the Mayor 5 cents better than last year. This is very misleading. Last year the Mayor limited the levy to$1. Asthe bond interest and redemption fund demand a levy of 17 cents the Mayor's levy for run- ning the city was really 83 cents. Auditor Snow’s levy is $1 12, which, after deduct- ing the peremptory 17 cents, makes a levy for running the city of 95 cents. Instead of cutting the Mayor’s levy 5 cents Mr. Snow proposes to increase it 12 cents. The Mayor spent many busy hours this week explaining the situation to anxious taxpayers. 8. W.B.

To-morrow he will ap- pear before Judge Greene for sen tence and there is much speculation as to the man- case. During the past four years there have been some remarkable verdicts and remark- able cases of disagreements among juries placed on record in this county. Many bhave been so flagrant in their contrast to what the evidence had lead an intelligent Judge and public to expect that more than & suspicion existed that bribery had been practiced. A few weeks ago a case was tried against a gold-brick swindler in which the evi- dence was so plain to ten men out of the twelve that they pronounced the prisoner guilty as soon as they zot into the jury- room. Two could not see as their brethren saw, and the usual disagreement was en- tered. As the time for the second trial approached Chief Lloyd, for reasons which he has not placed on the bulletin board of his office, decided to keepa lookouton certain people. Harry Trundle was one of them. He was found guilty last night ana Chief Lloyd is satisfied that there will not be so many inexplicable disagree- ments in the jury-room in the future. The position of the County Committee toward Mr. Hilborn is easily accounted for. If he has one supporter :n that body it is not easy to see who it is." Two years ago there was an election 1n this couuty, and ¥red W. Henshaw was a candidate for Su- preme Justice. Mr. Hilborn was on the ticket for Congress. There was a ratifica- ‘tion meeting in East Oakland, and Mr. Hilborn referred in glowing terms to every candidate, with one exception. The exception was Fred Henshaw. Whether the omission was by accident or design has | never been explained, but its result is plainly seen. Two years ago Mr. Hilborn was the unanimous choice of his party for Congress. Now he has a strong opposition, and the | first move of the County Committee was to elect four delegates at large to the Con- Judge Frick. The most promicent name among the four is W.G. Henshaw, a brotherof the Henshaw whom Mr. Hil- porn did not mention two years ago. Fred Henshaw’s organizers in this county landed him in the Supreme Court by a tremendous majority. Now all his influ- ence is turned against Mr. Hilborn and everybody is guessing. If Mr. Hilborn is returned to Washington, it will be over a road literaliystrewn with political gore. “I've learned a lesson since I went East. The sooner Oakland learns the same lesson and proceeds to practice it the better for her citizens. Denver and Omaha are an inspiration to an Oakiander.

Itis proposed to hold the convention | early in September and nominate a county | ticket for such offices as are to be filled; | also Assemblymen and State Senators. | The prevailing sentiment is strongly in favor of taking the lead in State, county | and Congressional campaigns and not await the Democratic convention. Among those mentioned for the Con- gressional nomination are Colonel E, M. Gibson, N. J. Manson, Green Majors, W, A. Vann and Sam Stewart. The Con- gressional Couvention,which adjourned to meet at Benicia on the call of the chair, will probably be called to meet the last of this month.

THE PORTIUNCULA -INDULGENCE, A Sermon by the Reverend Father Caraher on Its Origin. ITS NATURE EXPLAINED. That Little Church of St. Mary of the Angels in Umbria, Italy. HOW TO GAIN THE INDULGENCE A Franciscan Church Must Be Visited and There Must Be Confes. sion and Communion. The Rev. Father Thomas Caraher, rector of St, Francis Church on Vallejo street, preached a sermon last night on the origin and nature of the Portiuncula Indulgence to a large congregation that paid close attention to what was ex- plained. In delivering the exordinum the reverend father said: “The reason that the epistle and gospel are read in many churches to- day is because to-day we comm emorate the dedication or consecration to God of the little church of St. Mary of the Angels in Umbria, Italy, commonly called the Church of the Portiuncula. But itis not so much the dedication of that little church that we commemorate to-day as the notable event with which it isso in- timately associated—the publication of the Portiuncula Indulgence. It was the pub- lication of that indulgence that attracted 50 many thousands from various parts of Italy to the church of St. Mary of the Angels on the 1st of Angust, 1223, and it is the commemoration of that eventand a de- sire to gain that indulgence that attract so many to-day within the walls of Francis- can churches throughout the world.” As to the origin he said the word Por- tiuncula is a Latin word, signifying a small part or portion and was originally applied to a small plat of ground in Umora,on which a chapel was built in the middle of the fifth century by four pious pilgrims irom Jerusalem, wio named it after our lady of the valley of Joshaphat; afterward it recetved the name of ‘‘our Lady of tha Angels,” because angels frequently hovered over it smsing the praises of their heavenly queen, It came in the possession of St. Bene- dict in the sixth century and his order held it down to the beginning of the thir- teenth century, when they presented it to St. Francis., As the saint was one night praying in hiscell for the conversion of sinners, with a crucifix in his hand and a human skull at his feet, he heard an angel say to him, ‘To the chapel, Francis, to the chapel.” On entering the chapel he bebeld the Bavior with his blessed mother and a number of angelsover the altar surrounded with a brilliant heavenly light. “‘Addressing Francis the Savior said to him that he well knew the zeal that he and his companions had displayed for the conyersion of sinners and the salvation of souls; that he had set him up as a light for the nations and as asuppor: for his church, and that he would grant him any request he should make. The saint re- quested a plenary indulgence or the full remission of the temporal punishment due to sin to all who having confessed their sins should visit once the Church of the Portiuncula. “The Savior granted the indulgence prayed for on condition vhat it should be confirmed by his vicar on earth, the sov- ereign pontiff. The following morning the saint repaired to Rerugia, where Honorius I1I was sojourning, and on hear- ing the facts related the vicar of Christ confirmed the indulgence and granted it for one natural day in perpetuity, or for- ever.” The rector then detailed the work of the saint and said that the feast of St. Peter’s chains was selected as the naturai day, or from 2 o’clock on the first day of August until sundown of the second. This indal- gence, he said, was afterward extended to all the churchgs of the three orders of St. Francis. It was also extended by Papal indult to many other churches throughout the world, and even to every cay in the year for the church of the Portiuncula. *To gain the indulgence,” said the rec- tor, ‘confession, communion and a visit to a Franciscan eharch are necessary, but it is not necessary to fast or give alms, asin the case of a jubilee. 'The confession can be made on the 2d of August, oron either of the two previousdays; the com- munion can be made on either the lst or 2d of August, bui the visit must be made between 2 o’clock in the afternoon of thelst of August and sunset of the fol- lowing day. Confession and communion can be made in any church, but the visit must be made to some Franciscan church, and accompanied by some prayers at option for the holy father’s intention.” BROKE MAKY BLUEROCKS Many Interesting Trap-Shooting Events Across the Bay.

M 55 WITHI AN EG Freak on the Part of a Duck That Defies the Laws of Nature. Does Two Days’ Work in One and Then Takes a Day Off—Is Ad- mired by Its Owner. E. J. Wilkinson, who owns a little farm out on Francisco street, is the owner of a freak duck. Itis just an ordinary appear- ing white quacking duck, not a duck within a duck, nor is it gifted with aouble the amount of intellect usually allotied to birds of the same feather. Notwithstand- The Freak Egg Which Has Made Ome Hen Proud. ing these facts, however, the freak fowl frequently lays an egg within an egg. As a rule the circumference of the outside shell is about 9 inches and that of the in- side 4 inches. The outside egg is identi- cal with that of the inside egg, with the exception that the yelk is slightly flat- tened from coming in contact with the shell which surrounds it. This duck is in the habit of defying the laws of nature by doing two days’ work in one day and restin: the next. At times the two egga referred to form one within the other and the result is that the downy monstrosity lays a double-yelked egg ranging all the way from eigut to ten inches in circumference. Mr. Wilkinson is quite proud of his pe- culiar duck and it 1s safe to say that it would take several times the value of the bird in order to purchase it from him. WAS A ENIGHT.

OAKLAND, Cavr., Aug. 2.—The story of the death of the Livermore pioneer, Wil- liam Watkins Winn, published in THE CaLL about a month ago, has brought to light an interesting chapter of the early life of the deceased. In “‘Burke’s Peerage’’ he appears as Sir William Watkin Wynn, but many years ago he forfeited all right to his title by becoming an American citi- zen. The Masonic Veteran Association has just learned the fact and have madeit public. ‘Wynn was a direct lineal descendant from Cadrod Hardd of the Isle of Anglesea. According to the coat of arms and list of ossessions in ‘‘Collens’ Baronetage’ the gV;nn family was once very wealthy and powerful. —_—————— “FORTY WINKS.” After-Dinner Naps Conducive to Proper Digestion. Well-dined humanity will feel relieved to hear the decision of the medical profes- sion that the time-honored institution of “forty winks'’ after dinner is conducive to health and a beautiful recuperative process. Plethorie, full-blooded people have feared to indulge in this tempting settling of a beavy feed, several English practitioners have made a ssvere attack on the siesta as tending to apoplexy or nightmare, but the medical press declares this idea is founded on a misapprehension of the physiological functions of the stomach and brain.

TERMS—CASH. s S —— tion: Is it harmful thus to fall asleep after a meal? By no means. The process is merely a physiological one, and as such when it occurs is quite natural. When digestion is in progress nature arranges that all the available blood in the body shall be connected in and about the di- gestive organs. Consequently the blood supply to the brain falls to a low ebb, and thus sleep is easily induced. On the other hand, ph siologically, it is wrong for brain work ta' be attempted immediately’ after a solid meal, which is a most comfortable doc- trine, but one that offers new development in the attractions of dinner parties or pub- lic banquets. How would it be possible for guests, after tcssing off the pousse cafe, to recline with comfort in the straizht-back chairs of modern fashion? ‘Would these heavy diners be abie to re- strain the snores with which nature afflicts the children of men in their unconscious moments? If the ‘““forty winks’’ metbod is to receive public and immediate post- prandial adoption another order of dining- room furniture must prevail. People who are in the habit of dining not wisely but too well must insist on the introduction of the classic Roman style of couch or trinclinia around the mahogany, and on that extend themselves as gracefully as may be until the digestive organs have done their duty. Beneficent sleep! It would work well even at thedinner dance, for then guests, however light of foot, would awake refreshed and their general happiness be promoted, because indiges- tion would be avoided.—Boston Herald. ——————————— "It is said that two persons playingz dom- inoes ten hours a day could continue for 118,000,000 years without exhausting all possible combinations.
