THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1896. MERCHNTS NEED © 70 BE A UNT _Five Years of Progress Has Not Inured to Their Benefit. Peculiarities of the License Ordi- nance That Are Not Understood. A Decent City Hall for Oakland Shou'd Figure in the Muaicipal P.atforms r1cE 8aN FRANCISCO CALL,} 2 908 Broadway, Nov. 22 *The time has now arrived when there should be in this city a powerful mercan- tile organization. During tbe past five vears al! the surrounding towns, even as far as Haywards, have been brought al- most into Oakland by frequent and cheap electric-car service. The trade of Oakiand has almost doubled, but with little ap- parent resultant benefit to its merchants. This 1s due to lack of a concentration of nnterests. There is a Merchants’ Exchange and & oard of Trade, both of which organiza- tions have done good work, but there has always been considerable friction between them, which has prevented any joint ef- forts for their mutual welfare. There are many changes necessary before Oakland and surrounding territory can grow com- mercially, and these cannot be brought about by any clique or party, but can only be secured by unity of action. Th e forecast of the changes is most cer- -tainly a thorough and intelligent under- standing of the needed license system. That it is now primitive,crude and diserim- .inating there can benodoubt. The levying of all manner of licenses on the solicitors and deliverers from outside places has workea great harm to local merchants. Firms who formerly did $100 worth of business a week in this city were driven to establishing branch houses over here and now do four times the business. Berkeley retaliated by passing a prohibit- ive license and a leading member of the Merchants' Exchange was forced to open .2 branch store in that town in order to hold his trade and evade an extortionate license. A leading member of the Board of Trade and a large manutacturer has -been forced to call in a large numbér of his travelers because of prohibitory local licenses, and the business they obtainea * no longer comes to Oakland. Several commdission merchants cross the bay every morning to buy produce 1n San Francisco that is produoced in Ala- meda County, and which is brought back - here for conspmotion, and which process is the resulv of the license imposed on producers who bring their goods inside the fire limits. These are a few of the details that need adjustment, but so long as the interests of a few are to be paramount to the welfare of the community just so long will Oak- land suffer. There will be no improve- ment till there is a powerful commercial erganization dominated by the spiritof - men whose ideas travel farther than their ‘store door. Buch an organization could vy the appointment of various commit- - tees deal with all the problems now being handled by the various bodies and would make possible the establishment of a Produce Exchange which is an actual ne- . cessity in an agricultural county like Ala- meda. . Oax1AND OF . ¢ Very rarely is the proper credit accorded the District Attorney’s office for the milk . of human nature which it frequently ais- penses in the conductof criminal cases. More frequently the office is harshly criti- cized and hampered in the discharge of its duty by those who do not under- .stand how matters stand or who are. willfully prejudiced. It is gen- erally considered that tne duty of the pub- lic prosecutor is to attempt to land in jail every one who breaks the iaws. Thisis, of course, true in the case of criminals, but there are many young people arrested who do wrong, not fully comprehending the nature of their offense, or because of the influences of older companions who have motives for leading them astray. In such instances justice can be best sub- served by the exercise of kindness and humanity, and the foundations of good citizenship laid instead of a life of crimi- Dnaiity. During the incumbency of District At- toroey Snook several of these instances have arisen and young men who under a less humane administration would now be convicts are reputable members of so- clety. A few years in the District Attor- ney’s office reveals all the phases of hu- .manity’s weakness and teaches that reformation is not always brought about by virulent prosecution. Alameda has at least one thing that she can point to with the finger of pride while the finger of derision is pointed toward Oakland. The Encinal City has a municipal building that is a credit to her, while Oakland has a wooden barn that is periodically condemned by the Board of Health, Alameda’s handsome brick and stone block not only adds 1o the dignity of the muricipal government, but it is an insult “to expect any of Oakland’s officials to show its municipal pile to a visiting Mayor, and yet Alameda 1s several classes behind Oakland in the rank of cities. In a few weeks the various municipal tickets and platforms will be placed be- fore the public, and the one that is pledged to secure needed improvements will be en- titled to the largest share of support. A plank providing for an ample municipal building on the iines that have been laid down so often would command more re- spect than the stereotyped, meaningless language that is so often foisted on the voters.

OFFICERS OF THE ALAMEDA CHORAL SOCIETY. WORK ON BEHALF OF THE FARMERS A Livermore Lady Sur- prises Oakland’s Board of Trade. Mrs. “Cunningham Will Co-ope- rate in Establishing a Produce Exchange. Personally Visits and Lectures Land- Owners Who Persistently Weglect Their Property. OArrLAND OrrIcE 8AN FRrANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Nov. 22, The Oakland Board of Trade was sur- prised last night by a woman. Mrs. Cornelia E. Cunningham addressed the members and they freely admit that they left the hall with more new ideas than they had thought of for the past three months. Mrs. Cunningham was the organizer of the Livermore League of Progress, and she came to Oakland to tell the board what had been accomplished and to solicit their co-operation in instituting a representa- tive and permanent county exhibit. The members opened their eyes with wonder when they listened to the plain story of what the speaker had accom- plished, notonly by her individual efforts, but in conjunction with other active work- ers in her town. For several months she has been ex- ploring the interior of the county, finding out who owned property and paid no per- sonal attention to its welfare. She made it her business tocall on the owners, man,; of whom reside in San Francisco, them that they are an ifucubuson munity. She uphesitatingly expressed her opinion of the millicnaire Arthur Rogers, who recently married Mrs. Mont- gomery. Mr. Rogers owns a beautiful ranch of 160 acres, which is in ruin. Itis neglected, uncultivated, and the porch is falling from the front of the dwelling. Several other instances were recounted, and Mrs. Cunningham is determined that some improvement shall be made. She has even gone to the length of forcing some of these indifferent land-owners to put a price on their property at which they will sell, and is doing her best to find markets for them 50 that many of the un- employed can be put to work. The lady is anxious for the Board of Trade to take the initial steps in forming, in conjunction with other mercantile or- ganizations in the interior of the county, a Produce Exchange which shall be the means of providing a home market for Alameda produce. She recited several in- stances of pe%plc having to send their goods to San Francisco, whare they were purchased for the home market, and when sold in Oakland brought about two prices. This, she asserted, is because of a near-sighted policy that has dominated the construction of the municipal license ordinances; it is a fact that no farmer cau sell one doilar’s worth of his produce in Oakland unless he has a license. A few days ago a farmer was stopped at Frank- lin street and toid he could go no farther with his chickens unless he had a license. He was prepared 10 sell them and make money on them at 30 cents apiece, whereas the majority of them are shipped to San Francisco, come back to Oakland and sell for 50 cents. Mrs. Cunningham has really undertaken a great and grand task, and has already accomplished much in the short time she has been at work. There are hundreds of small farmers and producers 1in this county who are absolutely powerless to bring about better times unaided. Mrs, Cunningham isc:rtain that with a healthy and practical co-operation and the estab- lishment of a Produce Exchange much can be done. The establishment of the large creamery near Livermore has already done much toward keflzing foreign butter out of the market. rs. Cunninglam declares that $3,000,000 goes out of Ualifornia annually for the purchase of eggs, all of which could be kept here. At ihe present time eggs are higher in price than in any other State, and yet hundreds of peovle are as- sured of & markel for their produce should they embark in this in.Justry. It was moved that the suggestions and recommendations of Mrs. Cunningham be indorsed by the board and that the chair- mean appoint & committee of five to co- operate with the lady in establishing a permanent exhibit of the products of the county. The chairman named the following com- mittee: J. ._ Nelson, Craigie Sharp, A. D. Pryal, J. Tyrrell, H. O. Trow- bridge. TO SING “MESSIAH" Big Undertaking of the Alameda Choral Society. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 22.—The Ala- meda Choral Society will present Han- del’s oratorio “Messiah” with a chorus of 100 volces during the first week of the | last June, when the new year. The society was organized last Janvary and made its first appearance “Rose Maiden"” was presented. The officers are: J. W. Farrington, resident; George Innis, secretary; Ed T. ickert, treasurer; Ed D. Crandall, con- ductor, and Miss Mabel Jones, accom- panist. It is the intention of the management | to secure subscriptions enough to pay ex- penses and allow subscribers and members the choice of seats. After they are sup- plied the house will be thrown open to the public free of charge. BERKELEY MEN REST. The California Football Heroes Are Ready for the Great Struggle—Ju- niors’ Celebration. BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 25.—The Uni- versity football men spent Sunday in peace and quiet, resting for the great stroggle of next Thursday. Some of them who live around the bay went home for the day to visit their families; others stayed at the training-house on Union street the entire time, while still others took a short ramble among the hills after dinner. . Their hard, pounding work has all been done and the remaining three days will be given up to light, secret practice and sig- nal work. The men will be given every opportunity to rest as much as possible from their long season of practice before the final strugele. Tte demand for seats bas been unusually large for so early in the season of sale, and indicatious point that there will be at least 12,000 people at |‘ the game if the day is clear. Accommo- dations wiil be provided for 15,000. All the seats in the university club section are gone, as well as all the choicest onesin the Varsity section. Berkeley wili have the seats this year which were occupied by Stanford at the last game. Fifty-six covered boxes have been providea on the west side, all of which have been ordered. No one will be allowed to stand this year in front of the bleachers, as has been the custom hereto- fore. A raised, sloping platform will be provided for those who come in on gen- eral admission tickets and expect to stand. Better police protection and ush. ering will also be provided. Juniors on the Stage. BERKELEY, CaAL, Nov. 22.—Just as soon as the excitement of the great Thanksgiving football game and the acces- sory attractions of absorbing interest to the university students are over, their at- tention will be directed to junior day— the one event of the year for the class of ’98. To fittingly celebrate this day a farce will be given in the afternoon at the Macdonough Theuter in Oakland, and in the evening a grand promenade will be neld at Harmon Gymnasium on the uni- versity grounds. The farce, which isto be the feature of the daytime celebration, is an original production, and was written by Walter Starr, a member of the class. The cast will be as follows: Joshua Paynton, a horseracing preacher, Will C. Russell; Mrs. Eliza Paynton, his wile, Miss Alice Marchebout; }gllnzery Payn- ton, his favorite daughter, Miss Cenlennia Barto; Elizabeth, another daughter, Miss Agnes Knerr; Dobson Dabbard, a con- sumptive nephew, Ben Bakewell; Pete Randy, & jocl e}g. Will Smith; Briggs, a poleceman, T. ¥. Rainey. ———— T. J. LACEY I8 OALLED. Has Not Yet Filed His Acceptance With the Vestry. ALAMEDA, Cav, Nov. 22.—The vestry have given Rev. T. J. Lacey, first assist- ant rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., & unanimous call to accept the rectorship of Christ’s Church here. The reverend gentleman is a sin- gle young man well known to the clergy of San Fraucisco, where he was assistant 0 tne_recior of St. Luke’s Church. Mr. Lacey has not yet been heard from on the subject, hence Bishop Nichols could not announce his acceptance at the service to-night, as the vestry had hoped he could. An answer was expected to the call to-day, but did not arrive. SPOKE ON TEMPERANOE. Henrietta Skelton in the West Side Christian Church. The West Siae Christlan Church was crowded last evening, as it had been previously announced that Mrs. Henrietia Bkelton would address the congregation. Mrs. Bkelton is an ardent worker for the Women’s Christian Temperanoce Union, and declares that it is the only organiza- tion outside of the pulpit that teaches the better and higher life. She said that in every stativm of llfe there was work for the members of the union, and as they looked for new avenues to enter they found many obstructions, but nothing could deter them from co ing to the rescue of the young. have laws in our statutes to-day,’” said, *“‘that never would have been there had it not been for our persistent efforts, and unless we crush the liquor trafhic un- der the heel ot the Christian it will crush us, *It is a necessity to have a union in con- nection with the cburch, and we should be prond to belong to an organization that reaches the farthest end of the earth. It means something to haves large constitu- ency, as this is the most wonderful society on the face of the earth. “We are anxious to enlarge our work, so don’t be afraid to wear a white ribbon. Of course the fashionable people won't wear one—they would rather wear a dia- mond ring.” Mre. Skelton then announced that a tab- let would be passed around the congreea- | ticn, and those that wished to join the union would please sign their names to it. There were very few signatures secured, SUNDAY WITH THE PUGILISTS Bob Fitzsimmons Tramping Through the Deep Marin Mud. How Baby Bob Takes a Run Over the Hills With His Big Dad. Sharkey Plunges Along the Beach “Scoffing” the Salthorse Breezes H: Loves. Robert Fitzsimmons, who hasexpressed his Intention to interview Thomas Shar- key shortly, says that Sausalito in the wet season is not an ideal spot for pedestrian- ism. Under the rains that bave fallen since he located there for training pur- poses the roads are too muddy and the hills too slippery for tramping. Not that he expects to do much walking when he gets roped in with Thomas early next month—the naval hero fights at exceed- ingly short range—but Robert desires to be springy on his feet that he may suc- cessfully dodge the enemy’s raking fire. Consequently while Sharkey is plunging along the Cliff House beach “scoffing”’—a naval term for eating—the salthorse breezes he loves so well, Fitz is plowing hock deep in the Marin County cll’ly and muttering imprecations upon Corbeit’s diminished head. It is Corbett he wants to meet—Corbett, the man who has been giving him a long chase for years, he says. “I’ll hit Sharkey right in the same eve that the ‘Pompadour’ struck,” said Fitzsimmons yesterday, “‘but the lick will knock him clear out. When those ten rounds are over my friend Bharkey will probably go down in the ‘sick bay'—I be- lieve that is what they call the hospital aboard ship. But Sharkey is straignt, and we will doubtless make it inlereninp for each other when we meet, and I can’t sayv the same for Corbett. “I want to get at that man for a finish most anxiously, but he is more slippery than these roads. If I can’t get a finish out of him I'll fight him two rounds, or even one, if he willlet that be long enough till I am satisfied. Well, I am going to take the baby out for a run; come along.” Then Mrs. Fitzsimmons blanketted Rob- ert Jr, against the chill of the evening ana deposited him in his small buggy, while his big blonde dad took his statior behind the vehicle and the procession started. “Corbett does not want to meet me,’” said he as he guided the baby buggy care- fully around a mudhole. “I’m not say- ing this for publication only, but because Tam convinced that it istrue. Champion fighter! He'sthe champion faker!” Then the long Cornisia blacksmith set off at a swinging stride down the road at a speed that threatened to drop the junior into the gutter. This brought forth a protest from Mrs. Bob, who was standing at the gate waiching the start, ana the two Roberts struch a slower pace. “Bob is a good nurse,” said the mother, | keeping her eyes on the two till they dis- appeared round the hill, “but he forgets that baby is not so athletic as his father. Mr. Fitzsimmons_is confident he will win and so am L Ob, yes, I take a great in- terest in the coming affair, and_I am do- ing my part of the training. You see, I am chief stewardess of these quarters and prepure the food that goes on his table, I am an old athlete myself. You remember the Rose and Martin Julian who used to do acrobatic and contortionist turns on the road, don’t you? That was before Rose Julian became Mrs. Bob Fitzsim- mons."” The pugilist nad quite a reception at his training quarters vesterdby and a large number of clubmen and newspaper repre- sentatives witnessed his exercises. He stirikes like the sledgehammer he used to wield and he is as quick on his feet as a cat. Sharkey must move speedily if he hauls clear of those heavy lightning-like strikes. Tom Sharkey, “‘the pride of the navy,” spent his time yrsterday receiving his friends at his quarters at the Cliff, “I don’t work on Sunday and so I have time 10 see those who call out here to say ‘How do youdo? Wete there many? ell, I should say eo. There was Alex Greg- gains, Billy Murphy and—well, what's the use of going any further. If I could name them all 1'd keep you writing names t1ll 6 o’clock in the morning.” The man who is to meet Fnzlimmozs was attired in a neat, well-fitting suit of navy blue, & heavy white sweaier ana a brown Derby hat, and as he walked u and down in front of his quarters or ltoog talking with friends or admirers was gazed at by crowds, who stood at a re- spectful distance and criticized his a arance. No one who was not on lp!lE ing terms with him seemed to care to ap- roach him without an introduction, for gil features are such that they convey the idea that he is distant to strangers, and one of his friends said, “He don’t kitten to blokes thatonly want to chin wid him.” e 70 CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, Take layative BromoQuinine Tablets. A1l zm: refund the money 1f it fails to cure, PIGS, TURKEYS, GEESE AND CASH Some Lively Rifle-Shooting for Prizes at Shell Mound. No End of Sport for the Lovers of Rifle and Pistol Practice. Active Competition in the Columbia Club for Several Valuable Medals. There were all kinds of target-shooting at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday. Although the weather was threatening in the extreme, it made but little difference to the marksmen, who were bent upon winning medals, cash prizes, turkeys and pigs. Captain Siebe, the proprietor of the park, decided that the closing of that pleasure resort for the season should be properly celebrated, and he offered a choice collection of turkeys, pigs and gerese as prizes. These inducements, to- getber with the other attractions, filled the range. There was a lot of fun when the distribution took place. Men already burdened with heavy rifles, cartridge- cases and overcoats were obliged to shoul- der barley-sacks containing gobbling and hissing fowls and squealing porkers. The railroad men and ferry-boat hands looked suspiciously on their passengers who crossed the bay late in the afternoon. Tickets were shot as usual on prize con- tests on the German ring target. All 25, 24,9 and 1 rines were good for a Thanks- giving dinner. Nearly all the winners secured more than one prize. The follow- ing gentlemen are sure of a square meal or two the next few days. The winners and the winning shots were as follows: George Alpers, 24, 24, 24; J. Peters, 25, 25; H.J. Wicker, 24, 24; F. P, Schuster, 24, 25° H. Vreden, 9, 24, 9; A.H.

Three hundred dollars was offered in prizes; fifteen prizes, ranging from $2to $20, for the best centers, and fifteen prizes simi- larly distributed for the most points on the small point target, with cash prizes for first and last bullseyes. There were also twelve cash prizes, from $2 to $20, shot for on the man target. Several thousand shots were fired in these events, anda the resuits will not be known until this even- ing, when the several secretaries will have nad a chance to figure up all the tickets shot into. The first bullseye in the forenoon was made by F. P. Schuster, and the last before noon by A. H. Pape. The first in _the afternoon was by Philo Jacoby, and the last by J. Utschig. Amonilhose highest on the man target were: Haake 76, George Alpers 74, Philo Jacoby 73, A. H. Strecker 73, and D. W. McLaughlin 72, The distribution of g;heu will be_held to-morrow evening in ashington Hall, 35 Eddy street. ‘There were several hot competitions all day yesterday in the shooting-stands oc- cupied by the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, and the firing on the 200-yard range The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club’s All-Comers’ Re-entry Record Rifle Medal, did not cease as long as the biack in the target could be seen. There is a spirited fight on for the Glindermann military musket medal. As the scores stood at the end of the day F. O. Young n the lead on the best ten scores with a total of 463 military count on the Columbin target. Ed Hovey gained a point yesterday, and now has to his credit. He was so fortunate as to make two dead centers in the inch circle, for which there are cash prizes. Centers yesterday on this match were worth $6 apiece. F. H. Bushnell is third on the list with a total of 453. Con- sidering that he has been shooting the musket only three or four weeks he is justly proud of his record. On the pistol range there is a new marksman, Charles R. Yates of Oakland. He was introduced by Colonel 8, I. Kel- logg. Mr. Yates' fancy isthe revolver, and his first efforts on a strange target caused the older revolver-shots to recognize a dangerous rival for me and honors, As the season draws to a close the inter- est in the Blanding pistol medal match and 22-caliber rifle matches is increasing.

The score stood 16 to 1 from the fifth to the eighth inning yesterday afternoon, with the plucky little Alameda Alerts at the big end and the Suisun baseball team cherishing the lonely tally, The Alerts won with the score 17 to 2, and without using their last inning. Suisun was outclassed. Only two of her nine put up accurate ball, such as charac- terized the Alerts’ play. The right field and the pitcher were superior to their support. Unfortunately for the speedy. pitcher his regular catcher was not on hand, nor was the first baseman.’ Their glnces were occupied until the fifth inning y two volunteer local substitutes, who were each responsible for several costly bad plays. Fifteen of the seventeen runs were scored before the first catcher was moved to shortstop, the shortstop to_first base, the unskilful first baseman retired, a new catcher put in, and the third baseman changed into left field, where, though he continued to muff with considerable regu- larity, his faults were not so costly. Suisun’s battersseemed afraid until the latter half of the game to stand up close to the plate and face the outcurves of Alerts pitcher. A pretty stop of a line drive was made in the eighth inning by the Alert pitcher, who carelessly tossed out his left hand and took the ball with an easy indifference that delighted and surprised the specta- tors as well as the man that made the play that retired the side. The Hollisiers, the famed great rivals of Alameda’s pets, will play the Alertsat J. Central Park next Sunday afternoon.

Its Position Was Changed by Order of Director-General de Young. School Children at the Cliff Baths. Two Balloon Ascensions From Haight-Street Grounds. John L. Bardwell was one of the many who were in the museum in Golden Gate Park yesterday, but he was not pleased— in fact, he was mad. The reason for his anger was that in his opinion he had not been treated with the consideration that he believes he is entitled to as a donor of curios. Mr. Bardwell, who is an enthusiastic collector, has already donated many relics to the museum and promised many more, He has donated so many that they have all been placed in one room and over it is the inscription, ‘‘Bardwell’s Curiosity Shop.”” Some time ago he expressed his dislike of the large clock that for two years had occupied a place on the north | side of the vestibule and said he would re- | place it with a handsomer one. He was {as good as his word, and sent out one | tweive feet in height. which originaily cost $250. This clock is a fine one and he said that he would donate it with the un- | derstanding . that it should occupy the place of the old one, and it was put in po- sition. Yesterday when he visited the museum he discovered that it had been moved into & corner, where it was out of sight. He asked how it came to be placed there. ana the answer was, “‘By order of Mr. de Young.” Mr. Bardwell in no uncertain tone of voice said: *That clock has not yet been donated, and if it is not put back where it belongs, in place of De Young’s picture, I will take it away and cease any iurther donations to the museum.” When questioned in regard to this inci« dent Mr. Bardwell stated that he did not care to talk about the matter at this time, and added: ‘“All I will say is that the clock goes back or it goes out.” A portion of the park force is engaged at this time in thinning out the forest trees in different parts of the park, ‘“We are obiiged 1o do this every now.and then,” said Superintendent McLaren, “for the trees must have light, air an room in which to develop.” There was not a very large crowd at the beach and Butro baths unul late in the afternoon. There were the usual attrac- tions 1n the baths, which fumnishea enter- tainment. The offer of the management to admit school children free on Satur- days has met with a response beyond ex- pectation, the young ones attending in large numbers. The biggest outdoor crowd was in the Haight-street grounds, the great attrac- tion there being two balloon ascensions. C. W. Vosmer made a successiul ascent at 4 o’clock, and after remaininz up about ten minutes cut away and came down with his parachute at Hayes and Gough streets. The balloon was inflated again at 5 o'clock, and was sent up with Emil Markeburg at the parachute, but he did not.go up, for some one had cut the rope that connected the parachute with the in- flated sphere, so .that only a thread re- mained. When the weight of the para. chute and the balloonist forced against this shred it parted and Markeburg tumbled to the ground. The balloon was goon recovered and inflated again, and a very fine ascent and parachute drop was the result. This was at 5:50 o'clock, and as the aeronaut came down the searche light was thrown on him, and as be was enveloped in a bright glare there were many who were under the impression that they were looking at the airship. Markeburg was votea the more graceful aeronaut. NEW TO-DAY.
