A The League May Take an Active Part in the Coming Municipal Campaign OARLAND Orrice SAN FRANCIscO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Nov. 15. Tne snnual election of officers of the Young Men’s Republican League is to be held next Thursday and there is a keen but friendly rivalry among the mewmbers for the honors. During the recent campaign the Young Men’s League did excellent work and re- ceived very substantial recognition at the hands of the voters. Although the club was organized more to exercise an influ- ence on National politics than on local issues it was prominent in county affairs and five of its members were elected to office. Hart H. North, F. W. Leavitt ana Oscar Breiling, all of whom will sit in the next State Legislature, J. J. Allen, who was re- elected Justice of the Peace, and Charles Roetn, a Supervisor-elect, were all active mempbers of the leagne and owe a large share of their success to the efforts of the young men. There are over 250 members in the league and the office of president is one of much responsibility. J. W. Stetson, who was very enthusiastic over the formation of the league, and who, till his resigna- tion, made a very capable president, may be re-elected. Henry W. Pulcifer and W. V. Witcher are also candidates, and each has enough friends to insure a very inter- esting election. Phil M. Walsh, the present presiding officer, who conducted ¢the league affairs during the lively times of the campaign, | has not so far stated whether he wishes | re-election. He has made a good execu- | tive officer, and should he be in the race for president will add more interest to the election of next Thursday. R. F. Crist has peen added to the execu- tive commitiee of the league and J. A. Sanborn of Fraitvale has been substituted for Gus Bray. Much interest is being shown regarding the position the league will tuke in the municipal campaign 'Frecedinz the elec- tion nexi March. The Young Men's | League will probably have one or more of | its members on the Republican ticket. | DR. McLEAN SPEAKS. | He May Not Stay Long With the Ply- | mouth Church. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 15.—The Rev. J. R. McLean, D.D., president of the Pacific 'heological Seminary and pastor of the Plymouth-avenue Congregational Church, when seen to-day regarding the report that he was soon to vpresent his resigna- tion to the church said: “It has never been my intention to remain long as pas- tor of the church, but there is no contem- plation of any change during the present seminary year, and may not be thereafter, There has been no change of any kind in our relationship and none is expected at present.” Tambled on a Boy’s Neck. OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 15.—An acci- dent that may prove to be very serious occurred to-day while Captain Raymus Wwus giving a diving exhibition at Taylor's wharf. A man named Joe Comash was walking on a loose plank on top of & coal- bunker, when it tipped. He was thrown to the wharf and fell on the neck of a little boy named Jim McCiosky. The lad’s neck was partially dislocatcd and his head was seriously bruised. Comash’s ankle was smashed and he sustained other injuries. Miss Fuller Entertained. OAKLAND, Cav., Nov. 15.—Miss Loie Fuller was the guest of Mr. and Mrs, F. N. Smith to-day. The theater was sold out so early Saturday that when the Smiths telephoned for seats there was nothing left.

Miss Fuller left this evening for the South. Death of C. B. Wells. OAKLAND, Caw, Nov. 15.—C. B. Wells, the head ot the picture-frame department of the Emporium, died to-day aftera short attack of pneumonia. For several years he was a member of the firm of Kenny & ‘Yellu of this city. He was only 27 years of age. MONEY FOR SALARIES Treasurer Wheeler Has a Queer Expe- rience With His Tax Bllls—Idle Justices’ Courts. ALAMEDA, Car, Nov. 15 —City Treas- urer Wheeler has sufficient monwy on hand now to meet all demands upon the various funds, and the city officials may draw their salary warrants upon presenta- tion. The taxes haye come_in quite rap- idly for the past few days. In all, about $12,000 was paid in up to last night. Mr. Wheeler had quite a scare last Fri- day night when he found his cash $74 25 over the amount called for by the tax- receipt tags. Lack of Criminals. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 15.—The office of Justice of the Peace will not be sought after by bundreds of applicants at the next election. Following upon the an- nouncement that Justice Sweasey could not make enough to pay his rent and of his removal to his residence to hold his court comes the statement that Justice Morris is not doing enough to keep him. His statement, filed the first of the month, shows his month’s business only amounted to $64. Out of this must be paid his rent ngl all other expenses attached to the office. FOR LITTLE WAIFS. A Meeting to Be Held at Mrs. Pettee’s House of All Interested in Help- ing Them. Mrs. John Pettee is determined todo all in her power to help the little waifs left to the cold mercy of the world. She has re- ceived the strong uugéport of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, that for Prevention of Vice and many kind-hearted people. Their idea N that the most effective way of providing for little beings who seam to have no place would be to furnish an emer- gency home. This may be done either in connection with some public institution or as a private enterprise, to start in a rented house in some convenient locality. The object will u%nm means, and in order to allow the charitably inclined to discuss the ways and means Mrs. John - Pettee invites all who desire to meet at her house, 2505 Leavenworth street, next . | Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.

WALSH, President of the Young Men’s Republican League, Which Succeeded in Electing Five of Its Members to Office. Colonel George B. Sperry is no longer an officer on the staff of Governor Budd. His resignation was not accepted, but another officer, Colonel Park Henshaw of Chico, was commissioned inspector- general of rifle practice. Colonel Sperry having served the required length of time, is entitled to be placed on the retired list. There is one peculiar feature of National Guard regulations. For example, Captain Blank, having served a term of years as company commander, becomes a candi- date for re-election. In the contest he is defeated and another man elected. Cap- tain Blank is therefore out of the service. The only plan open for continuation of his military career 1s toenlist as a private. Of course he may apply for retirement if he has served sufficient length of time to entitle bim to be retired. Major-General James, division com- mander of the National Guard, recently received the gift of a silver punch bowl of beautiful design and superb workmanship. The donors were the former associates of General James on the staff of Governor Budd. The bowl bears the engraved in- scription, “To Major-General James from his brother officers on the staff of Gover- nor James H. Budd.” The coat of arms of California is engraved on the bowl. A number of officers of the National Guard are forming a riding club. Cap- tains Margo and Eisen are the originators of the movement. Already excellent ma- terial has been secured and the indications are that a superb organization of mounted men will be formed. Colonel H. P. Bush is supporting the new military enterprise. Should the Legislature consent to increase the number of companies of the gaard, which now seems highly probable, the new company may be mustered in as a troop of cavalry. First Brigade. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 14.—To-day Brizadier-General Last, commanding the First Brigade, received from Major-Gen- eral James the long-expected emergency call. The troops responded promptly. At 3 p. ., six bours after the call was is- sued, the Seventh Regiment was on the march., The troops will bivouac to-night a few miles from El Monte. The Brigaae Signal Corps expects to break the record for long-distance telegraph work. One detachment, under the command of Ser- geant Kersey fhas gone to Tehachapi, and another, under Serzeant Kramer, will take station in the San Bernardino Moun- tains, 120 miles distant. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Nov. 11.— Now that the election excitement is over all interest at the armory is centered in the coming emergency call and the team shoot between Companies G, M and K, Seventh Regiment, on Thanksgiving day. The emergency call seems 10 be the topic most discussed at the present time, and the questions asked by the boys are both interesting and amusing. If the company only had blankets and overcoats 1t would be & pleasure to re- spond to the call, but withous them it will be a hardship and no doubt a very trying campaign for the boys. On Thanksgiving day teams from Com- pany G, M and K will meet at the butts in Riverside for a friendly contest for the championship of the valley. Each team have ten of the best shocs in their re- spective companies, and thfi team that I carries off the honors will have to make a record-breaking score. Ex-Private 0. D. Eastwood arrived from | San Francisco last Monday and will take up his residence here again. Sergeant Carter and Private La Niece are still in Los Angeles. Privates Thomas and Guernsey will retarn to duty with the compaby in a few days, having nearly comg{ated their work on the mountains for this season. Sergeant Perry will leave m a few days for a trip to the borax mines in Death Valley. . Captain Goff will represent this county in the Legislature this coming session and the National Guard will have a true and earnest friend at court to look after its interests. It is reported that Major J. W, F. D ss, brigade inspector, ic an_aspirant for Reg- ister of the United States Land Office under the incoming administration. Major Prescott entertained a few of his National Guard friends during the ratifica- tion meeting at Redlands last Saturday evening. Third Brigade. SACRAMENTO, Can, Nov. 13. —In every department of the National Guard of this city there is increased activity since the election has been decided. The boys are practicing hard in their several de- partments, and especially is this true in Company G. The members of this com- pany take so much interest that they meet for drill twice a week, and are improving rapidly. The presence of several members of the regulararmy in the ranks (“their terms having expired they have joined the militia”) is an added incentive to the dther members of the company. The rank and file of Company G are over the aver- age in height and weight, presenting a fine appearance, and are improving rapid- ly in drill under the efficient tutorage of Captain Schoemaker and his officers. In 2 few days the company intends to go out on the overflow for a day’s practice drill at the targets and skirmishing. The tar- cet used is the new man target atun- known distances. At the last field day held three weeks ago Private Auten car- ried off the honors at the targets, Sergeant McMartin being second. The company is anxious to shoot a twenty-five-man match with any company in the State, the losing team to pay for supper, fifty shots to be fired by each man and mutual arrange- ments to be made as to inspectors. In Cavalry Troop B, Captain Cook, there is wlso increased activity, a full meeting having been held last Wednesday. The old cannons which were given the troop have been called in and the new revolvers, having arrived will be issued in afeyw days. The saddles have been thoroughly over- hauled and a complete outfit of meat- pans, haversacks and canteens have been ordered. The mounted boys are in army condition for instant active service. On Wednesday evening next the vacancies now existing in the non-coms will be filled and a date selected for a field drill in pitching cnmgz‘ stable duty, guard- mount and extended order drilling. The signal corps is also hard at work. Last Sunday it established four flag sta- tions in this City and bad a very successfull drill. Tuesday evening was passed in set- ting up heliograph drill and ivis the inten- tion of the corps to establish a station at Auburn next Sunday and signal to this City. Thelads are rapidly becoming effi- cient in their telegraph work, and every evening some of them can be found at their instruments. Great interest js also being displayed in preparations for their annual ball, which takes piace on Decem- ber 1 and which will be a grand affair. The scores of the last_rifle practice were as follows: Company G—Sergeants Guth 40, Klien 39, Kel ogi‘w. Corporals Milii- ken 43, Wray 37, ibling 39.

A new stone walk is being putdown the entire distancein front of the armory, and will add very much to the appearance of the place. The third social of the winter series will take place next Thursday evening at the armory and promises to be more of a success than the preceding ones. The social standing of Company F is firmly established, and the peoble of the city look forward to its entertainments very eagerly. The men are still waiting for some of their superiors to make them a visit. 2 MERCED, CAL., Nov. 11.—Sunday, No- vember 8, was the date set for the regular monthly company target practice of Com- pany H, Sixth Infantry. The day wasan ideal one for shooting, but for some reason the attendance at the butts was much smaller than usual. The following mem- bers made scores of thirty and over: Cor- poral Griffith 45, Corporal George 40, Lieu- tenant Smith 40, Sergeant Potter 37, Cap- tain Graham 35, Corporal Smith 35, Cor- voral Griffin 84, Sergeant Baker 34, Ser- geant Guthrie 32, Private Kelly 32, Private Dillian 32. These monthly practices will be continued during the winter if the rains will permit. 3 T The company’s reading-room is now in operation and 1s being made a general headquarters for the boys at night. Sev- eral magazines and daily and weekly pa- pers have been subscribed for. The good effects of the plan are aiready visibls in an aroused interest in company affairs and military matters in general, through the impromptu discussion and the remin- iscences of older members that come up around the stove during the “session.” The probaple successor to Colonel Nu- nan is also a matter of interest and specu- iation with the enlisted men. They have no vote in the matter, but are as deeply interested as the officers in whose hands the settlement of the succession lies. The commanding officer can make or spoil a regiment, and whoever the man may be the enlisted men desire that he should be, above all, a soldier, a man of service and one who has won his promotion by his record in the Guard.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 15. | Under the joint authorship of many of the leading divines, business and public men of Alameda County a book was issued this week which contains more foundation for thought than any similar history of this county that ever left the press. When Rev. C. W. Wendte, D.D.; Rev. R. F. Coyle, D.D.; Rev. E. 8. Chapman, D.D.; Hon. W. R. Davis, Engineer L. J. Le Conte, President Fish of the Merchants’ Ex- change, Judge Gibson, W. J. Dingee and others of similar caliber put their nands to the plow something is going to be planted. With everything that has a tendency to make a great city the enigma that has uzzled residents here for ten years has geeu and is, Why is not Oakland a greater city than she is ? The book just published answers the question better than could be done in any other way. The first glance through the book suggests the question just asked; a more careful survey of its pages answers it. Oakland has suffered in the past from lack of public spirit, from want of har- mony among those interests which build up cities and to a larzge extent from the closefistedness of a majority of her wealthy men. Engineer Le Conte, after covering the well-known ground showing how the busi- ness of the harbor has increased, even with its vpresent limited facilities, says that the abnormal state of affairs that ex- -ists for enabling ships to load and unload quickly and thus be but a short time idle in port, can be found nowhere else. ‘‘San Francisco,”” he says, *‘is naturally situated on the wrong side of the bay, and all that Oakland lacks to make her a successful rival is deep-water channels of sufficient capacity to accommodate deep sea vessels. In a few years more this need will be sup- plied, and Oakland will have a fine land- locked, deep-water harbor, free from all dangers to navigation, and completely sheltered against the heaviest gales from any point of the compass.” After dealing with facts and carefully ignoring fancies, Engineer Le Conte con- cludes thus: “We can safely say that Oskland is destined to be the Liverpool of the Pacific Coast.” Dr. Wendte handles the “Men of Wealth of Oakland” and clearly expresses his idea of theirduty. With the exception of the Chabot Observatory and the gift of Mrs. Garcelon for a free hospital he says nothing has been done by people of wealth in this city in a public way. Mr. Wendte declares that endowments of a public library, a conservatory of music and pub- lic parks are, in the order named, the best things men of wealth can give to this city. “It makes one sad at heart,” he says, “to go out to Mountain View Cemetery and bebold the costly but meaningless and useless structures erected there by family pride or affection, when a so much nobler memory is within their reach 1n Lhe free public [ibrary.” Dr. R. F. Coyle, who came to this coast from Chicago, says some very trenchant things about the new Oakland, but he sums up very clearly in this one para- graph: Oskland has the elements which will yet make of it a great city. What it needs to has- ten its greatness is more esprit du_ corps. Every Oaklander should talk up his city; he -noul’d sound its praises, and he certainly can do it with a good conscience. This is the spirit that has made Chicago what it is. Ex-Mayor Davis says that if Oakland is not a greater city than Omaba ten years hence it will be solely the fault of her citizens. Site may favor, numbers help, commerce aid, competition contribute, law secure and improvements count, but we, 0o, &re a iactor. The individual carves his destiny, somewhat. Alfred B. Nye, managing editor of the Oakland Enquirer, deals with the manu- facturing industries of the county. He quotes from the United States census of 1890 and gives figures that are doubtless a surprise to many peopie who have lived here all their lives. It is reserved for Dr. E. 8. Chapman to discover something in which Oakland has not made any progress. Always witty, the white-haired pastor concludes a story on “Ten Years in Oakiand” thus: There is one respect in which I t thiat much progress has been made. sad thek isin the matter of health.

X five years of our residence in Oakland not one scholar in my large and flourishing Sunday- school was called away by death. I used every year to attend many children’s funerals in the East, sometimes two in one day, often two or three in one week; but Ilived in Oakland, with its thousands of little folks, for five years without being once called to ministeratsa child’s funeral. Almost as infrequent were the funerals of adults in the prime of life. Only nine times in six years was the member- ship of my church visifed by death, and, with only one exception, they were all cases of death caused by accident, or by diseases con- tracted before fiomlng to this coast, or by oid age. Much more is coniained in the volume, bat it ‘all tends to adorn the moral. “Facts and Figures of Oakland and Ala- meda County” has been written by forty of the very best representative citizens of the county. It has been edited by G. W. Calderwood and G. T. Looibourow and is valuable as well as being a work of art. No higher authorities than its many joint authors could possibly be found to deal with their respective subjects, and if their truthtully expressed ideas and conclusions stimulate the recent impetus given to im- portant developments in this county they will bave rendered a signal service to the cause of legitimate progress.
