Griggs of Stanford University spoke before a large audience at the hail of the Unitarian Society this morning on “Bpiritual Perspective.”’ His discourse was practically an exposi- tion of ethlcal doctrines, founded upon fact and built up by philosophical reason- ing. For the elaboration of his address he drew largely upon literature and profane nistory, alluding directly to the Bible only once. His address was more in the nature of a popular lecture than a sermon. He dwelt at lenzth on the idea that truth is a mat- ter of change of standpoint; that there is no such thing as hara aud fixed iruth: that truth depends upon man’s horizon: that as man advances in intelligence so will his ideas of things spiritual advance. ana that everytuing must be viewed i the light of the whole belore we can say that there is a reality.

It was | a very light affair, barely sutflicient to keep | out the hail and not sutlicient to keep out the rain, but it was all that he owned. During the rains of the past week Man. uel Pereisa has frequently been forced to get up at nighttime and make additional anchorage for his tent, but this did not induce bim to change his quarters, for he was in a hole between two mountains and was well sheltered from the fiercest of the | storms. During the past four days the heavy rains swelled the little creek into a stream of goodly proportions, and the violent rains of Thursday caused the water to | rise” sufficiently to soak the handful of straw on which the lone rancher slept. Manuel, however, retired as usual, but about 2 o'clock yesterday morning the water rose several feetand rushed through the canvon like a mill stream. Manuel was asleep st the time and was not aware of the flood until his tent was washed away and he found himself being whirled along the stream aad occasionally meet- | ing with a blow from some piece of tree or roots as he was carried alosg the bank. He nearly lost his life trying to recove his old tent. Hisefforts were unsucces: ial and all his worldly belongings were washed down the canyon and have not | et been discovered and probably never will be. A couple of hours later Manuel, half dead with fright and almost frozen to death, walked into Haywards and was glad to sleep in a warm stable with some | horse-blankets to cover him. His face is badly cut and one of his legs is bruised severely, and he is surprised that he should Iiave succeeded in saving himsels | from a most unpleasant death at flood. nnd- night in th, LAUNDRYMEN TO COMBINE, | Chinese May Tako One House and Do | All Their Business Under One License.

However the scheme 10 combine | is not unlikely to be carried to a comple- | tion. ordinance now before them, fixing a license that would be almost vrohibitory to them individually. In view of this fact a move is now on foot to unite them all 1n one biz establishment, where one license would serve all, and remove to the opposite side of the estuary. The large bullding, now occupied, has been talked of, and would be suitable for such use. It is located on the streeicar line, and just outside of the city limits. This is what the Board of Health had in view when it recommended the license. Railroad ave- nue will then be siraightened, and the ramshackles torn down. Washington’s Birthday.

The campaign against the saloons was actively commenced from the pulpits of this dity to-day. Being disappointed at having the Sunday-closing question elimi- nated from t.e ballot to be used next month the pastors and Curistian Endeav- orers have decided to secure as large a possible on the matter of absolute hibition that will be voted upon. To-day Rev. Rob:rt Whitaker of the wenty-third avenue Bapust Church, Rev. Dr. Kumner of the First Methodist, ev. Mr. Sutherland of the Tenth-avenue Baptist—all referred to the matter and urged an active cam paign against the sa- ¥ loons, so that a vote would show the Council just how the public feeling stands. Rev. Dr. Coyle of the First Presbyterian Church had announced that he would handle the matter at length, and his church was crowded this morning. He said: 11 my lips could utter all that is in my soul this morning, you would not lack for elo- quence. My heart hurts. It throbs in wild rebellion, and no words can express 1ts burn- ing indiguation. A similar fire I am sure flames in many of your brensts. 1 saw flashes of it the other night in this room when a mes- ) senger brought us the news from the City Hall. We had planned for the Sunday closing ot the saloons, praved for it, spoken for it, hoped for 3t, petitioned for it, and were sured that the matter would bé at least s mitied to the people. When, &il the promises that had b the assurances that had been given, word was brought to us that our peti was deniea and that we were not to have even the smail privilege of voling upon it, is it any wonder that we were hot with ind/gnation? Tywo years ago when the fight was on—this same fight for the Sunday closing—we were | told by the members of the Council that it was s quesion of too much {mportance to be de- ciued by them; that they could not take the responsibility of passing such a measure, but | 1 the people wanted it, as good and loyal ser- vants it would give them pleasure to carry Some of us were simple enough to belleve them. We had a petition circulated and very largsly signed asking tne Council 1o submit the maiter and thus obtain the populsr verdict. With whatresult you know. Then another petition was circulated usking that the saloons be closed seven days outofthe week. It was nct largely signed. Many good people Who hate the saloon and would Iike to see it annihilated, felt that the | second petition called for something too radi- cal, too far in advance of public sentiment to nccomplish anything, and so withheld their ignatures. But these Councilmen—the same two that the other night toomit t tion from the ticketaud su of closing the saloons sltogether. played right into the hands of the liquor dexiers. Th:y knew very well that Sunday | | closing was the thi: g the people were demand- | iug, but in the face ofita the' minority petition, y saloon-keeper and liquor d ere was jubile 11 they voted to rers and temp advocates were checkmated, their pi feated, their hopes beffled, their schemes | turned npside down, and the saloon on top. But while I am disappointed and indiguant t may be that this latestoutraze will so arouse the de- cent people of this city as to crystaliize all | temperance sentiment into soiid und uncom- promising opposition to the open saloon. I hove so, and if my words can do anything to bring about such & rosut they wiil be gladly spoki It is related of Napoleon that when the midst of his wonderful Italian cam- an officer rode up to him with the an- nouncement that the battle was lost. “Very well,” said Napoleon, “there is yet time before the sun goes down for another fight.! Before nightfall the grest Corsican left the field a victor. So in this warisre against the saloon there s yet time for another battle, and who will be £0 fain t-hearted s 1o say that we can- not win? At any rale we propose in God's name to try,and we shall do it in the con- solousness that no fsithful effort for the right, though it be apparently futile, can ever be in vamn. Here in Oaxland we have 200 saloons and the police report shows that in & list of six nine differant offenses there were 1216 convi tions for drunkenness alone during 1896. A large number of these were women. Thus the figures show that about La'f of all the convic- tiors during the year came from the too {ree usc of sircng drink. And this is_the power—the plotting, pillag- ing, plunderivg powor—that iriumphs and flaunts defiance Ju (he face of ihe chuich and of decency and holds poiiticians aud people in captivity. Iam not puiting it extravagantly, 1t hes thrown down the gaunilet und joreed the issue and said to us: “Sunday closing s knccked out. Now see what you can do toward closing the saloons altogether. Thisis your chance, I defy you.” How that ‘challenge will be met I donot know and Idare mot predict. I ouly know that the dictatorship of the saloon in mu- nicipal and State affairs is & very real and shameful thing. Newspapers are afraid of it. Candidates are afraid of i, Parties are afraid orit. Business is afraid of it. Read the plat- forms of the politiciavs and the declarations of aspirants for office. Not a word, not a hint about the liquer traffic. I understand very well that in sume rare instances it is the part of wisdom to say nothing, and nothing is said se speech would only do harm; butin the majority of cases silence is only another elling saloon. In the great majority olitical papersand piutiorm-makers -seekers ure silent Lecause they are in bondage to this accursed liquor power. We want the advantages aud attractions of this city 10 be made known. For this purpose we aresending fncis and figures out over the country. Next July tens of thousands of En- deavorers will be here from every section of the continent, and if they could carrv back the news to_the East that Oakland had so much regard for decency ana good order, so | much regard for its homes and young people, that it had closed its saloons altogether, it would do more to advertise this city and fill up its streets with desirable people than any- thing else. I tell you it is open saloons and desecrated Sabbaths and low moral sentiment tuat arc keeping home-seokers away from Cali- fornia. But, you say, Oakland gets a revenue of §75,000 a year from its 200 saloons. Close thei up alfogether and this will be cut off and hence iaxes will have to be increased to raise money enough to run the city. Weil, that is practical, and let us think of it a litle. A Jending member of the Council told me during the past week that it is safe to say that each saloon takes in Over its bar an aversge of §15 aday. That maxes over 1,000,000 8 year iverted from channels of productive industry and legitimate business—over $1,000,000 a year paid into the saloons of Onkland. Now do you not see that if the saloons were closed n very iarge proportion of thatmoney would be spent for groceries and dary goods end clothing and things that would enhance the business wolfare of the City, Some of it of course would still be spent” for drink, for men who want liquor very badly are bound to have it. But I contend that the closing of the saioons aliogether wouid leeve far more money to the City than is now derived from license ‘Another thing which I want you to be clear sbout. This is not prohibition. It has noth- ing whatover to 6o with the family use of wlaes and liquors.

MILITARY MARKSMEN. A Large Gathering of Riflemen at the Shell Mound Shooting Range. The military shots were out in large numbers at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday and & number of good scores were made. The coming match of 100 men to a side between the First and Fifth regiments is keeping the musket shots alive to their work. Soon after the team of the First won the victory over the Hawaiian National Guard the pbest men of the Fiith came to the front and chal- lenged the winners for & contest under similar conditions. The challenge was taken up upon the condition that the event should not take place until some time in the spring. The reason for the delay was that it would be too great a tax 10 cail upon the men of the First to pre- pare for a second match 8o soon after the first was shot off. For all the promised delay the men from both regimenis are showing much inter- estin nifle practice and under the surface there is no doubt some quiet preparations being made to qualify with the chosen one hundred. While there was but a small representation of Company L of the First, sull the scores were good, as here see: Ceptain Eggert 43, Sergeant Goertzhain 43. J. Leary 84, H. G. Leffmann 38. J.

This com- pany really has two matches on its hands at the present time, both with Company G of the Fifthof Alameda. The condi- tions are fifteen men to the ‘eam, ten shots to each man.

Lack of Familiarity With the Grounds Made the Scorss Poor. Over Seventy-five Shooters Faced the Traps During the Day—Names of Thoss Present. The new grounds of the Olympic Gun Club at Ingleside were opened yesterday under auspicious circumstances, a repre- sentative crowd of target-shooters being present to take part in ths various events. Over seventy-five devotees of the ‘“'scatter’” gun faced the traps at different times dur- ing the day, and, though few shot up to their usual form because of a lack of familiarity with the grounds and the angles at which the birds were thrown, all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the occa- sion. In addition to those who partici- patedin the matches and their lady friends, there were present a large number of the veterans of the trap who no longer take an active partin the sport, but who are never missing when anything unusual is on the tapis. For an opening day the arrangements were remarkably good, and very few hitches of any counsequence occurred. There were six events on the card, all being sweepstakes at inanimate targets, the entrance fees varying from half a dollar to three times that amount. The first two events were at fifteen singles, the second two at twenty singles and the fifth and sixth at ten singles. Squad-shooting was the rule in all the matches and the targets were thrown at known angles, Purses were divided on the percentage plan according to the number of prizes.

Fanning, Lewis, W 21d, Maske There were no clean scores in the 20 and 15 bird matches, and but few in the 10-bird shoots, this circumstance being due to thefact that only a limited num- ber of the shooters had ever shot over these traps. Few of the shooters attracted more notice than Tod Sloan, the diminutive knight of the saddle, who, followed by his valet, sauntered on to the grounds and participated in a few matches with indit- ferent success.
