Was Assessor of the City of Oakland for Twenty-F ve Years Con- secutively. 0AKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco CALLE 908 Broadw Jan. 18, “Uncle Joe” Dillon died this morning at his home on Linden street. Although the immediate cause of death was paralysis he has been failing for some time, and his demise was partly duetoold age. Joseph M. Dillon held the record for having served a greater number of years consecutively in office than any other | State. In 1864 he was elected City ssor and the following twenty- four annual conventions nominated him, and in each case he was re-elected. In 1839 “Uncle Joe” met his defeat. In that year the first election was veld under the new charter add Dillon was beaten by | R. W. Snow, who has held the cffice ever ing: t the temporary officers be made | since. After his defeat Dillon was given | a place in the Mint, which he retained till a few months ago. Joe Dillon came from New York State, where he was born seventy-five years ago. He settled in this county in pioneer times ana was one of the very best known men in public life in Oakland. He has been many years a widower and leaves | two children, Miss Kate, who kept his home on Linden street, and Malachi, named after his uncle, Malachi Falion, cisco. Uncle Joe” was equally well known for | his open-hearted generosity and his love | of the humorous e of life, One of his | practical jokes will live for years, aithough | it occurred more than two decades ago. In the noon hour two men were noticed to be_fighting desperately on the top of the C: tock, now knowu as the Joe stood on the City 1 calling attention to the battle, and he very soon succeeded in gathering a crowd of not less thap a thousand people. The combatants ap- | proached very near the railing on the side of the roof, and to the horror of thecrowd y saw the larger of the two fighters lift | the other from his feet and hurl him over | the railing to the sidewalk below. | The crowd at once rushed aeross Four- teenth street to inspect the crushed man, when they made the discovery that it was only a very cleverly made dummy.

Specimen of Tobacco Plant Grown in Alameda County Now Exhibition at the State Farmers’ on Institute at Livermore. E. C. Hahn Has Made a Specialty of Tobacco-Growing. of California, convened this morning at the Masonic Hali in Livermore. There was a large attendance for the opening day, and many people from Oak- land and all the surrounding towns were present. The ball is very tastily decorated by the ladies’ auxiliary of the Livermore League of Progress and by the league. Vine and olive culture, cattle-feeding and creamery products and many other allied industries were represented, but perhaps the most interesting feature was the exhibit of tobacco culture by E. C. Hahn, who has spent considerable time in experimenting with tobacco plants in this countgy. E. 8. Adams, the well-known agricul- | tural writer, opened the proceedings with a paper in which he showed clearly the relation of the State University to the farmer. The various experiments made at the university. and the data which are there compiled and sent out were touched upon, and the speaker expressed the opinion that the farmers did not fully ap- | preciate or are not aware of the vast | amount of benefit they can receive by | taking advantage of the university experi- | ments. He showed that a very small per- centage of the farmers of the State take the trouble to place themselves in com- munication with the university, and thus tages. A. P. Hayne dealt with resistant vines. He has spent many years in practical vine-growing and spoke with authority of his experience. According to his data, there isa great deal of loss incurred by growers because they do not attach suffi- importance to the scientitic feature eir business. He stated that it is not sufficient to put vines in the ground and to expect them to grow and produce fine grapes unless the conditions of soil and climate and the nature of the vinesare studied and care is taken to protect them from the ravages of insectsand weather. The culture of olives was the theme of Mr. Doty is one of the county, and he bandled the subject in an interesting and practical manner and con- vinced the audience that his conclusions were a result of usefdl experience. Valentine Alviso, the best known pioneer rancher in Livermore Valley, read early farming in California. His refer- ences to the hardships encountered in early days and to the difficalty of trans- portation were somewhat of a_surprise to the younger generation of farmers pres- ent. Mr. Alvisois at present owner of a large ranch which he has cultivated for forty years, and his treatment of the sub- ject of the development of farming in this country was very valuable and no doubt suggesdtive of much that will be put in practice by others, 3 Professor J. W. Connell of the Liver- more High School spoke on his fayorite subject of therelation of agriculture to the high school. The professor has taught for years that the training for a practical farmer should commence in the high school, and that lads whose future makes it practically certain that they will be- come agriculturists should lay the founda- tion of a practical knowledge of farming as early in life as possible. He enlarged upon this subject, and in earnest language convinced his audience of the truth of his remarks, Professor M. E. Jaffa gave an interest- ing account of the result gained by ex- periments at the State Agricultural Sta- tion with cattle-feeding. His paper was eminently practical and it is very evident that the professor had thoroughly mas- tered his subject. To-morrow Professor Jaffa will open the institute with a talk upon California creamery butter.” E. C. Hahn will illus- trate with a large number of specimens the results of experimental tobacco cul- ture. H. P. Mohr will read a paper on horse-breeding. J. A. Filcher will discuss will speak on her favorite subject of home markets and State Highway Commis- sioner Marsden Manson will close with a talk on good roads. No Need to Have Resignod. OAKLAND, CaL, Jen. 18.—D. Edward Collins has been placed in the position of resi ning from an office to which he was never appointed. A few days ago the di- rectors of ‘the Board of Trade, Merchants’ Exchange and Good Roads Association met and decided upon three names to sub- mit to the Governor to.appoint as park commissioners for this city, A wrong re- WILL ADHIT LIOUGR 05, They Will Have Free Access to -the Pages of Blue and Gold. Stormy Meeting of the Junior Class at Berkeley—Co-cds Out in Full Force. BERKELEY, CaL, Jan. 18.—Liquor ‘“‘ads” will have carte blanche to the pages of '98's Blue and Gold. Such was the decision of the junior class at the State University this afternoon after a lengthy war of words, in which a dozen or more of the *eds” and one ‘co-ed’’ participated, The set of resolutions introduced to de- bar liquor advertisements from the an- nual was overthrown by a vote of 51 to 42. This action of the class is the result of an extended controversy over the principle and propriety of admitting such advertis- ing matter between the combined forces of the college Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. U. A. and the other members of the class. The co-eds were outin force to-day. In fact it was the largest delezation of young lady members of the class that has assem- bled since the .freshman year. The side they took on the question soon became | approved, and they voted almost to a single person against the insertion of the disputed ads, After the discussion over the question had been brought to a close, a sceret ballot was demanded, and during the count the excitement ran high be- cause of the almost uniform scores which was run up until the last when the sup- porters of the ads made a spurt and fin- ished nine ballots a .ead. W. W. Bristol, author of the condem- natory resolutions passed by the A. M. C. A., opened up the fight. He reviewed the case from a standpoint of morality, principle and finance, and was followed by H. L. Waste and F. R. Fairchild, who spoke in the same tenor. Editor Rector of the B.and G. turned the tide by offer- ing the excuse for the insertion of the | liguor ads that the book needed the money which they would yield. O. Allen came in with a like opinion. C. C. Boyn- ton did not want the ads to go in because, be said, the public conception of a college student now is a young man with a book 1n one hand and a wine-glass in the other. Then came the single co-ed speaker, Miss L. R. Haenlehn, whoacted as spokes- man for her college sisters. She made a valiant stand for the cause of temperance and’ against the ‘nefarious influences which Iurk in the liquor ads.” The matter then came to a vote with the result that the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. were forced into the back- ground. A shout of approval went up when it was found that the liqguor men had been given the privileges of the back pages of the book. The principal lrgnmantu offered in favor of admitting the ads was that the publica- tion needed tbe money, and that their appearance would work no harm to any one. More trouble is anticipated before the question is finally settled. New Board of Editors. BERKELEY, OaL., Jan. 18.—The Daily Berkelyan of the State University ap- innrd to-day for the first time this term. t has an entirely new board of officers, which is as follows: Editor-in-chief, Charles A.

OAKLAND, CaAL., Jan. 18.—The mem- bership ot thirty-six churches was rep- resented in a petition to-day which was presented to the Supervisors; asking for the suppression of racetrack gamblers in this county. The communication came from Rev. Dr. Coyle and Rev. F. F. Bo- vard and in addition to the petition con- tained a letter stating that the protest is signed by the pastors and official members and a sufficient number of prominent Christian people to inform the Supervisors beyond any reasonable doubt as to the Christian sentiment of the people in this county. The petition reads as follows: WHEREAS, The racetrack is a place in which pool-selling, gambling 'and all accompanying vices sre carried on almost without restraint, annuiling the tundamental laws of socety, viz: & manly dependence on honest labor, corrupting the public conscience, endanger- ing the peace aud safety of society, disgracing the fair name of our county, preventing citizens with high moral convictions from lo- cating 1n this part of the State and practically driving scores of families trom thetr homes; and whereas, the ordinance vassed by your honorable body August 17, 1896, s general in terms, permitting racetracks to be opened in every part of the county,and istherefore s menacé to every community in the county; therefore we, the undersigned ministers and official members of the churchesof Alameda County, acting in the capacity of citizens, rep. presenting, as we believe, the strongest con- victions of our congregations and the Chris- tian sentiment of our respective communi- ties, join in an earnest and respectiul protest against the action of vour honorable body in passing the above ordinance licensing race- tracks within the county, with permission to sell poois and carry op all kinds of gambling within_their enciosures. We furthermore urgently petition your honorable board to re- consider and repeal said ordinance, substi- tuting therefor an ordinance making it uniaw- ful to sell poois or carry on any kind of gam- bling within the limits of this county. 8 Supervisor Church made a motion that the petition and protest should be laid on the table. His motion carried, with only Talcott oppesing it. Supervisor Roeth attempted to have the protest referred to the Judiciary and Ordi- nence Committee, but his motion received no second. ———————— AOME NOT TO BLAME. President Allen Has Secured a Kehear- ing for His Club. OAKLAND, CAL., Jan. 18.—The. Pacific Amateur Athletic Association has de- cided to*grant the Acme Club a rehearing. The club was suspended about two weeks ago for sixty days. g “The situation was not clearly under- stood,” said President Allen to-day, ‘‘and I think, at Jeast, we deserve a rehearing. The trouble urose over the Tye-Muller contest, which was given by the Cycling Annex and not by the club. While the cyclists are all club members and we rec- ognize the annex, we ought not to be held responsible for anything they may do which we have not sanctioned. In regard to the Tye-Muller affair, the directors were asked about it, but we did not have time to consider the matter before it came off. Muller is generally recognized as a professional, and probably the annex overstepped the rules. But it was not sanctioned by the Acme Club, and when we presented this view to the association they agreed to reopen the case. +It is a matter of very little importance, however, as the sixty doys will have e. pired before there are any big everts in which the Acme would care to partici- pate.” ———————— TOLD TO HANG HIMSELE Peculiar Story Related by a Chlld at the Prison. OAKLAND, Can, Jan. 18. — Frank Fisher, a boy about 12 years of age, was taken to the City Prison last night, where he told a most remarkable story. He said that his mother was dead and his father was cruel to bim. “My father took me to the ferry in San Francisco last night,” said the boy, *‘gave me t n cents to buy my ticket across the bay and a small piece of rope with which he told me to go and hang myself.”’ The boy when found by an officer was wandering about in West Oakland, and had a small piece of rope with him. He was turned over to Mrs. Prescott of the children’s society to-day, and that officer took him across the bay 2nd gave him into the custody of Mr. Welch of t::e San Fran- cisco society.

OAKLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broad way, Jan. 18. Rev..J. K. McLean, D.D., has resi ned from the pastorate of the Plymouth Con- gregational Church. The news that he had decided to sever his connection with the church to which he has ministered over a year was a great surprise in church circles, as a few months ago, when the report was circulated that his resignation wus possible, it was denied. The resignation of Dr. McLean -has not yet been acted upon by the trustees, but it will certainly be- accepted, as the doctor has definitely stated that he cannot, under any consideration, reconsider his action. In a short time Rev. C. R. Brown, the successor to Dr. MoLean at the First Con- gregational Church, will go to Eum%« on his wedding tour and his puipit will be oc- cupied by Dr. McLean.

Brush Inclined to Deal Liberally With His Amateur Comedians—Alameda Notes. ALAMEDA, CAL., Jan. 18.—The Rev. F. S. Brush is not inclined to deal narshly with the members of the Christian En- deavor Bociety who refuse to accept a sug- gestion from him and abandon the farce they are preparing to give in the church parlors on the 9th of next month. While it is opposed to his idea of propriety and the proper way of raising funds for the convention assessment, be has decided to allow the present arrangements to be car- ried out rather than to raise a division in his congregation. Not in years hasany- thing caused such universal comment and aroused such interest in church circles in this city as the pablication Sunday morn- ing of Mr. Brush’'s views. He is well- known here, and is the pastor of the largest and most fashionable church of the city, where he is universally liked and respected. Joseph Falkingham, the chairman of the social committee which has charze of the coming production of “My Turn Next,” is & young commission merchant oi San Francisco and a leading worker both in his uwn society and church and the Alameda City Union, of which beis the treasurer. He declares that the pastor should not have waited until the eleventh hour and then tried to have placed them under & ban. Mr. Brush will use educational rather than, prohibitive measures with the young veople, and in the near future he will reach upon “Proportionate Giving as is Eeing agitated at present in Oakland, He is greatly pleasea with the work being done by the Oakland City Unicn, which will hold a rally Thursday evening for the, discussion of the money-raising subject and which has asked ail of the Protestant pastors of the city to preach upon the sub- ject next Sunday. ; “1 intend to take up this matter and makeit a subject for a sermon soon,” said Mr. Brush to-day. “The arrangements already made may be carried out, but I hope it will be the last thing of the kind undertaken. I am not a believer in rais- ing money that way, and I will prepare a sermon soon that will place the matter in the right light.” On Friday the junior superintendent has arranged for a ‘‘missionary dialogue” in the church parlors, for which 2n aumis- sion will be charged, and next week a funny sketch entitled “The Old Red Sctoolhouse’ will be given in Linde- man's Opera-house. The latter is under the direction of the Young Men’s' Club, composed of young men who have out grown the Boys' Brigade. J. E. Baker, cashier of the Alameda Bank, is the presi- dent of the club. Change in the Encinal. ALAMEDA, ‘Carn., Jan. 18.—George F. Weeks, editor and proprietor of the Bakersfield Californian, has purchased a controlling interest in the Encinal of this city, and will place 1t in_a new dress on the first of the month. He has also pur- chased a new press and sll necessary sup- plies to make it one of the rinest appear- ing papers on the coast. He will bring a considerable portion of his- job outfit with him from Bakersfield. Mr. Weeks was in town to-day looking over the field and making all of the necessary arrangements for his business. : The deal is-consummated, but the papers have not been signed, owing to the proprietorship of the routes, which are owned by a private individual. Mr. Krauth hes agreed to give a clear title to them, 80 the deal is now assured. ] 'virtually assume control to-day,” said Mr. Weeks to a representative of THE Cary, “but owing to business in Bukersfield I will not take up #he editorial work until the first of next month, when the paper will appear in an entirely new dress and be printed on a new press. 1 have the press purchased now and it is in San Francisco.

Itis centrally and pleas- antly located for a-newspaper office. shall bring a considerable quantity of type from the Californian office when L ccme back. I am going back to Bakers- field to-morrow evening to prepare for my removal to this eity.” Mr. Weeks is a thorough Republican and a bright ana energetic newspaper man, having had considerable experience, which the ordinary man would term as successful. He is nearly six feet in height and weighs about 200 pounds. His face is covered with a heavy growth of beard while his eyes are large and expressive behind a pair of spectacles. Alameda City Notes.
