OAXLAND OFrFicE SAN FRANCISCO CALL] | 903 Broadway, Dec. 20. } i The promoters of the movement to close | the saloons in this city on Sunday will | present their petitions to the City Council at its meeting Monday evening requesting | that body to submit the question to the electors at the regular municipal election is quite a surprise, as it is only ten days ago it became known such a move- ment was afoot, and even now it is not | known who is at the back of the work. | /Chroughont the city to-day the ciiurch- bers were requested tosign the following, | vhich goes before the Council to-morrow | vening: To the Honorable, the City Council of the City | of Oakland, County of Alemeda, smz:!ofheu;g fornia—GENTLEMEN: The undersigned resi- dents and voters of the city of Oakland re- | spectfully petition your honorabie body to | pass an ordinance or take such other action | 85 you may deem proper and necessary in | order to submit to the voters of the city of | Oakland at the approaching municipal e.ec- tion the question of the closing from each Saturday night at 11 o'clock to the ensuing | Monday morning at 6 o’clock of &ll places in said city where spirituous, mait or fermented liquors or wines are sold at retail. And your | petitioners will ever pray. i In a sermon on “The New Ealistment’’ this morning, the Rev. C. W. Hill, pastor of the Tenth-avenue Baptist Church, East Oakland, referred to the saloon, claiming that it struck at the civil life, at the schools, at the church, at the home and at the manhood. Like the Israelites, the people of to-day must meet their enemy in its stronghold and dislodge it. A new enlistment has been ordered under the Anti-saloon League and it is hoped that all Israel will be found numbered. Con- tinuing, he said: “Theie is a prospectof a great battle with the liquor power in Oakland. I hope later through the Anti-Salcon League on the proposition of driving the saloons out antirely. But just now on the proposi- tion of Sunday closing. The last attempt failed. Why? One or two councilmen weakened. They said they did not know whether the peofiln wanted Sunday closing ornot. The C. K. petitions did not satisfy them. Now we come upon another plan, asking for an election for an expression of opinion.”” UG SWEET MELODIES. Pupils at the Blind Institute in . Berkeley Give a Sacred Concert. ATue Auditorium of the Building Crowded to Overflowing With Appreciative Listeners. BERKELEY, OaL, Dec. 20.—It was a large and . appreciative audience that gathered this afternoon at the State Insti- tute for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind in Berkeley to listen to the midwinter sacrea concert of the blind children. Long before the hour set for the beginning of the exercises the large auditorium, which has a capacity of 1200, was filled to the doors, Bcores and scores of people were | | ing and playing of Miss Gussie Mast, the 1 ying | marvelously clever | former whose renditions have | ceres and Master John Fish, all of whom | (Verdi); piano solo, *‘Serenade” (Schu- turned away because of the lack of room The afternoon was a_ beautiful one, and frienas of the institution had come from all sections of the immediate community, as well as from Oakland and Ban Fran- cisco, A long programme of purely sacred music was rendered, and each selection was received with much applause. But few encores were responded to because of the length of the performance. It was a delightful afternoon with such masters as Verdi, Schubert, Liszt, Marsh, Smart, Wieniawski, Handel, Gounod, Capocei, Himmel, Sherwood, Bach, Corey and Haydn. A feature of the exercises was the sing- and versatile per- marked each concert at the institute for the past four or five years. Besides singing three difficult solos, she rendered two equally classic piano and pipe-organ selections. Miss Mast possesses a rich, well culti- vated soprano voice, with an unusually wide range. She gives promise of becom- ing a worthy successor of Miss Christine | Labaraque, the blind lady singer who, after i graduating from the institute, took a de- gree from the State University, and who should be familiar to all who are in touch with tue State school. The piano guartet of Miss Helen Mesow, Miss Lena Erickson, Master Charles Co- are under 13 years of age and who had never performed in public before, was much appreciated. Another piano quartet, ‘‘Hallelujah Chorus,” arranged by Professor Otto | Fleissner, the musical director of thein- stitution, was well rendered by Misses | Kate Stoliberg and Hattie Young and Masters Eben Gay and Lucien Baciga- lupi. The other selections on the pro- ramme, in theirorderof rendition,were as ollows: Pilgrim Chorus from “Lombardi’’ | 1), Thomas Morrison: organ solo, | Allegro Moderato in D (Smart), Miss | Lily Smith; soprano o, “The Lord Is| My Light” (Marsh), Miss Gussie Mast; | violin solo, “Russian Airs”’ (Wieniawski), | Miss Madeline Beckhausen; piano solo, “Impromptu,”’ 90, No. 4 (Schubert), | Miss Gussie M organ_solo, **Medita- | tion” (Capocci), Master Thomas Morri- | son: barytone solo, “The Battie Prayer” | (Himmel), William Brooks; piano solo, | “The Nun and the Fountain' (Sherwood), | Miss Lily Smith;j ‘‘Ave Maria,” soprano, | bert-Li: violin, organ, piano (Gounod-Bach), Miss = Gussie = Mast and Miss Lillie Smith, and Messrs. Henry Heyman and Otto Fleissner; organ solo *“Nazareth” (Gouno t), arranged by George E. Whit- ney, Miss Gussie Mast; chorus, “Great Is | the Lord"” (Haydn). The audience joined with the chorus in singing the doxoligy. By request from a number of the au- dience, Miss Mast sang “The Holy City” immediately aiter her organ splo. !

A | “famine fund’’ committee has been organ- | ized and at the sugeestion of President | Kellogg of the State University the fallow- ing five gentlemen will be asked to consti- tute a board of managers for the fund, it being tne purpose of the projectors to ex- | tend their work of collecting over the en- | tire coast with Berkeley as the center of | activity: | _Mayor Sutro of San Francisco, Hon. Horace Davis, Captain_Goodall, J. J. Val- entine, president of Wells, Fargo & Co., and Frank M. Wilson of Berkeley. Sev- eral of the gentlemen named have already been consulted as to serving on the board, | and have cheerfully accepted the trust. W. W. Clark of Berkeley has been chosen general manager of the fund, and in oaut- | lining the system of collection which will | be adopted he said to-day: | “We have had 100 subscription blanks struck off, which will be placed in the bands of responsible parties for circula- tion. All banks of commercial standing will be constituted as derositories for these | | funds. All funds subscribed through the | collectors or banks will be drawn on and | forwarded in money or food. The work | of collection will begin at once. We have about $300 on hand now, and we hope} to soon have $3000 and as much more as pos- sible.” Y Catholics nt Dr. mdte’s Bounty.

MERCHANTS ALONE ARE TO BLAME Why Oaklanders Cross the Bay to Do Their Holi- day Purchasing. The Tufine} Under the Estuary Will Scon Be Declared a Necessity. Splendid Future Promised for the New Electric Railroad to Liver- more. 0axzAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 20. | 1In the early part of each afternoon hun- dreds of ladies from this side of the ‘bay depart for San Francisco with heavy purses and empty arms. Toward evening they as regularly return laden with every conceivable kind of package and bringing home empty pur-es. Itis no exaggeration to say that from $2000 to $4000 is spent by Oakland women in San Francisco every day of the year, and in holiday time this sum isno doubt trebled. To offset this it How the Oakland Lady Goes to San Francisco. has been proposed to organize a league, the members of which bind themselves to purchase only in Oakland. Such amove is at once foolish and a confession that by crossing the bay more satisfaction can be obtained. The faultis not to be remedied by any such method. People will invari- ably patronize those places of business where they know they can getthe most satisfaction for their money. The fault lies with the merchants. They may or- ganize boards of trade and merchants’ exchanges and leagues of vprogress till doomsday and they will not keep custom on this side the bay by such methods. As a matter of fact, the Oakland store- keeper, by paying less rent than is de- manded of large storekeepers in San Francisco, can place the same goods on the market at a lower price, and in many instances this is done. But the people do not know it. What is needed iynot home- industry leagues, but genuine enterprise With all its boasted volume of trade there are not at this time six merchants of this city who are making known through the ordi- nary channels what they have to offer the public. They seem to be content to hide The in- handy arrange- a (ve- urse) $3.75. what it to. we don’t ks ataloss. d such a waits you. st and clev- f furniture and housed nd enjoy nings. i Mattings And How She Comes Back. in their stores like a snail in its shell, and as a result the city’s progress is somewhat in keeping with the pace of that animal. People in this city who want to go shop- ping are not fond of taking a cold trip across the bay, in addition to the long trip by a tedious_train before they reac: the ferry-boat. When they are informed that they can get more for a doilar in Oak- land than they can at San Francisco then they will purchase at home. The blame is not with them but with those who cater to them. After the experience of the past week it must be admitted tkat Oakland isa critical city in the matter of music and the drama. On several occasions since the opening of the Macdonough opportunity has arisen to judge of the taste of local theater-goers, but during the past month there have been enough instagces to form a reliable oninion. It has been demon- strated that no company that cannot com- mand good business in San Francisco need attempt to try to palm themselves L off on Oakland. The Katie Emmett Com- pany did not apvear across the bay for obvious reasons, and in this city it proba- bly paid for lighting the house, but no more. During the past week an opera company has been at the theater, but it was very sparsely patronized; but such patronage as it was accorded was ceriainly all that it deserved. In strong contrast to these occasions must be mentioned the visit of Mme. Zeissler, Miss Helen Beach Yaw, the Della Fox Company and Loie Fuller. All these attractions were legiti- mate and Oakland showed :tsappreciation of them. When such artists as De Wolf Hopper, Mme. Nordica, Modjeska, Ada Reban, Wilton Lacknza and others of sim- ilar caliber occupy the boards they never have the dissatisfaction of seeing empty seats. ‘While it is not to be supposed that there will be a subway beneath the estuary for several years, there can be no doubt but that such a method is the only legitimate solution of the problem of travel to the further shore of that body of water. In foggy weather, and with shaky bridges, there will always be some likelihood of an accident to passing trains, not only those crossing the bridges, but those that cross at right angles to each other on First street. It required some very serious accidents on the Mersey before the immense tunnel was built between Liverpool and Birken- head, and there are no more foggy daysin Lancastershire during the winter than on the bay of San Francisco. At the present | time there 1s not the travel between Oak- Jaud and Alameda or Oakland and San Francisco via Alameda that there was be- tween the two cities on the Mersey when | that subway was built, but each year is| seeing a marked increase in local travel, and sooner or later a tunnel will be a| necessity. An argument equally as forcible in favor of a tunnel is tne enormous increase of | Oakland’s shipping interests. More car- goes have been handled within the past month at Oakland wharves than in any | three months of the city’'s history. At the present time an average of about twenty ships per day pass through the bridges, and this number is gradually in- | creasing. As the narrow-gauge trains | cross every balf hour, and as it.takes nearly that time for a large vessel to be safely navigated through the draw, the | time is not far distant when a narrow- gauge time-table will be a useless mass of figures. I Colonel Bridges, who is considered an authority on such matters, has prepared | plans which are based on a knowlege of ihe conditions, and it is the wish of every person living on either side of the estuary that they muy soon be followed out. If it can now be shown that the building of the tunnel would not cost more in proportion to its increased value as regards traffic than an adequate steel drawbridge, the main point in its favor will have been gained. The encouraging news that work has been actually commenced on the proposed electric road between this city and Liver- | more will be received with marked satis- faction by the farmers who live along its route, which is north of the county road and south of the foothills. The success which has attended the Haywards electric road is a sufficient guarantee that when a new road to Livermore is in operation it will develop much territory now lying idle and add largely to the productive ele- ment of the population. Before the Hay- wards line was opened, the county road, except where the town of San Leandro is situated, was practically deserted be- tween Fruitvale and Haywards. At the present time little settlements are to be found everywhere; the thriving town of Elmhurst has been incorporated where formerly was not a single house, and there is not a stretch of more than a few blocks along the whole distance tnat is notin- habited. Undoubtedly the same result would follow. the opening of aroad to Livermore. With the developments. at Corral Hollow and the gradually increas- ing popula in thatneighborhood, such a line has*a bright future. Should the project of Mrs. Cunningham of the Liver- more League of Progress to establish a produce exchange in this city pe carried out, the ranches south of the foothills would most certainly take advantage of such a opportunity to place their prod- uce in & good market. Stuarr W. Beorm. LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN. The Anti-Saloon League Will Ask That the City Charter Be Amended This Spring. ALAMEDA, CAL., Dec. 20.—The Board of Trustees will be requested by a lengthy petition to amend the city charter in such a manner that the question ol licensing saloons will be placed upon the ballot at every general election. The anti-saloon league has the matter in hand and will make every effort to secure an unbiased vote upon the proposition. The agitators in this movement are pre- paring to secure an enactment that will prohibit all saloons in such political division of the towns as vote against hav- ing them, and permitting them where a majority of the voters favor them. This idea is favored by a large number of busi- ness men who do not want saloons in the residence neighborhood, but do favor, or at least do not object to them, in the busi- ness partof the City. Petitions are now in circulation that will be presented to the trustees at the proper time. It will have the backing of all the religious and semi-religious organizations as well as parties whose residence property is affected by the present order of things. Thinking of Others. ALAMEDA, CAL., Dec. 20.—The com- mittee in _charge of the work of caring for the poor families of this city, under the supervision of the Christian Endeavor Union, desires that all who have anything in the way of toys, food, fuel, clothing, etc., for them would leave the same at the vacant store na?olning the Argus office. Money may be left at the bank, with Mr., Tabor. LAWMAKERS IN CONFLIOT. Too Much Anxiety Shown to Secure the Approval of West Oakland Residents. OAKLAND, Car, Dec. 20.—There is some friction among the members of the Alameda County delegation 1 the next Legisiature. The cause of it is that standing nuisance, the West Oaklana marsh, and a general desire on the part of too many members of the delegation to have it suppressed. Senator-elect Fred Stratton has given notice that he is preparing a bill that wilt allow of the doing away with such nuisances. As the West Oakland marsh is situated in the Assemoly district of Oscar Breiling and the Senatorial district of Eli Dennison, it is thought that these two gentlemen should be permitted to at- tend to it. Mr. Breiling is preparing a bill for introduction to the Ausmgl_v, which Benator Dennison will carry to the Senate, and there is likely to be some strained feeling over the two bills. Itis most probable, however, that when Sen- ator Straiton is informed of the true state of affairs, he will withdraw his own bill and work mgwn of that of the mem- ber from West Oakland. ——— Buddhist Monasteries. - Count Wachtmeister delivered an intereste ing lecture on Little Thibit before the Theo- sophical Society last evening in Native Sons’ Hall. Ip the course of his remarks he said that the city of Ladakah, in Northern India, is the center of the ‘ln“ school of Buddhism called Mahayana. Ip and around this city are many Buddhist monasteries presided over by its divine bead, each monastery claiming the incarnation of some Buddhist satwa us patron saint, Count Wachtmeister spent several months visiting these monasteries and inves- tigating the religious teachings, rites and cere- monies of the people. Corcor: “With Verdure Ciad,” from Haydn' tlon,” was well received. » SLBURG 5 LONDOH Lio How a San Francisco Boy Won Fame as a Car- toonist. A Princely Salary for Being a Genius With Colors and Presses. Phenomenal Success of 'a Man Who Was But Recently a Lithog= raper in This City. Charles W. Saalburg, a San Francisco boy, has recently made a great hit by his newspaper illustrations in London, where he commands & princely salary with the Acme Art Company, having left the New York World, greatly to the regret of its proprietors. Only a few years ago this genius wasa | humble workman in a San Francisco litnographer’s shop, but he soon became prominent on a cartoon daily, hotding the position of illustrator until its indecent cartoons offended his taste, after which he went to Chicago and made a decided hit on the Inter Ocean, where his ‘“Vanishing City,” in colors, became famous. Color work of a hizh grade is Saalburg’s specialty. He is the patentee of a process by which half a dozen or more coiors may be run on a newspaper press at one time. He achieved fame in New York by getting out 500,000 colored sheets in three days, the shortest time on record. In London, where he recently located, he found slow presses and inadequate | means of making colored papers. He found such slow machinery that it would require four months to do work which his American presses could turn out in three days. The Acme Company induced him to remain in London. They have ordered American machinery and are putting up special buildings for the work and all will be under Saalburg’s supervision.

The annual election of officers of the Qalifornia Academy of the Sciences will be held at the academy hall January 4, 1897. So far there has been no sign of the usual campaign among the scientific people of this institution, and it is said there will be no contest at the coming election, a fact which has become possible through the able management of Professor Jordan of Stanford University, who has been president of the academy for the past year. The nominating committee held a meet- ing Saturday afternoon at the office of the trustees and took action on the new ticket. All the present officers were renominated, but a few names will have to be added to the list to complete the ticket. Lucius H. Foote, treasurer of the acad- emy, said that he had not heard of any- thing like opposition to the regular ticket. “It is our earnest desire to lift the acad- emy above little politics, and I believe it is out of politics now,”” he continued. “Under the wise administration of Dr. Jordan the academy has made much progress during the year and accom- plished far more than it receives credit for at home. The curators are each and every one doing excellent work, ana there is no fight of any kind within the institu- With the new ticket there can hard!, tion. be opposition, as Dr. Jordan for president will not have an opponent. The only change will be in the director of the museum, Mr. Davis having died some time since, and there will be another director instead of Mr. W. C. Burnett. But beyond those changes there is no reason for dis- satisfaction toward the ticket.” ¢ The new board will likely be as follows: Dr. David Starr Jordan, president; Wil- liam E. Ritter, first vice-president; Dr. H. H. Behr, second vice-president; J. O'B. Gunn, corresponding secretary; G. 'CASTORIA For Infants and Children, Tho fae- s simile it overy S T the court, and he and his partner carried off the honors, In the other game R, Linehan and J. J. Feeney defeated J. Harlow and M. J.

The Union Court was opened yesterday under the new management, and a few Eames were played, but no scores were ept.

Richard Bolis, alias Dalton, who the police say is an ex-convict, was arrested early yesterday morning on a charge of robbery. Bolis was arrested at the in- stance of A. N. Forbes, a machinist em- ploved at the Novelty Iron Works. Forbes alleges that while he was walking along Jessie street, near Ecker, two men jumped from a doorway where they were hiding and, throwing him to the sidewalk, robbed him of $30, a gold watch and a scarfpin. Bolis was taken to the Southern police station, where he was identified by Forbes as one of the men who had robbed him. ——————— The Pionecers’ Victories.
