This proposition seems to meet with more popular approval than would one to summarily close all the saloons in the v, provided a majority be obtained in support of such a movement. An exam- ination of the licenses that have been issued in this city shows that there are just twenty-three places licensed to sell liquor in Alameda, or an average of about ne to each 700 of population.

The exercises partook partly of the nature of a Republican celebration, a patriotic flag-raising and a display of | school chiidren. Not less than 3000 people attended the ceremonies et the plaza anc as the day could not have been more perfect everybody was encouraged to do a little decorating, and tte town has not appeared so lively since the Democratic County Convention over two year: ago. Promptly at 1 o'clock a detachment of G. A. R. men fired a salute of minute guns, one in honor of each stac in the flag. After the firing of the salute a pro- cession was formed with the veterans in the lead and marched to the schoolhouse. Five hundred little Americans gayly at- tired and carrying flags and flowers were then escorted {0 the plaza. Joseph Herscherr, the chairman, gave the order to raise the fla, and as soon as | it wes at the mastbead F. S. Hastings, | who is himsell a veteran, made a pretty little speech formally presenting the flay | 1 fl.epole to the city. It was accepied D.

The children then saluted the flag and accompanied by the band, sang in chorus, | “Red, White and Biue.” Professor Daw- | barn in his -peect made the following reference to Comrade Hastings, whose patriotism bad prompted him to donate | the flag: | One of the boys in blue Who hastened to meet the foe was our fricnd and neighbor, F. .

A few days ago a very courteous letter was received by fhe evangelist, asking that the singing upstairs and the merriment down- stairs might bs timed so that neither would prove unpleasant to the other. Night before last while Dr. Munhail was eurnestiy delivering his “finally” he was c onsiderably disturbed by the violent exit of several of the cyclists.

The Sunday C csing Matter Will Not Die—Right to Criticiz: Is Discussed. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, March 1L The challenge of Councilman Manuel to Rev. C. H. Hobart has been partially ac- cepted. This afternoon the reverend gen- tleman published an oven letter to the Councilman, in which he makes some very poignant remarks. Mr. Hobart commences his long disqui- sition by stating that the action of a pub- lic official is always open to public exam- ination and criticism, and assures Mr. Manuel that his action in regard to the closing of saloons on Sunday is being judged in the light of his own actions. By way of reminding the Councilman of the basis for the present quarrel, which was caused by tho siatement that Mr. Manuel had been bulldozed by saloon- keepers, Mr. Hobart says: “At the re- | quest of a large body of citizens of Ouk- | land you and your feilow-Councilmen agreed 1o submit the Sunduy-closing ques- tion to the people. Suddenly, unexpect- | edly and greatly to the disappoiniment of | a large body of your fellow-townsmen, you recon-idered your action and retused 10 aliow a free and official expression of the people at the polls.” Mr. Hobart then referred to the fact that Mr. Manue! and Mr. Mott changed their votes and were thus responsitle for e defeat of the measure, and proceeds: Naturally we begin to seek a rea-on for such a sudden cuange of front on your | part. Soon we recalied the boycott with | which you personally told us you were | threatened by the liquor dealers three years ago, on account ot kindred proposed action. We recall similar measures by | liquor men in other plaes, and 1t seems | reasonable to conclude thuat they were | once more applying to you the thumb- screws of the boycoit. This conclusion was the more justiied as we observed that the saloon-keepers were present in force when you refused to allow the question to come betore the people. Councilmen are surposed to have good reasons for their official actions, but if you have ever es- signed adequate reasons for refusing to allow your townspeople to vote on Sunday clo<in. 1 bave failed to hear of it. It was, therefore, natural that we should atiribute your actions to influences that, accoriing i0 your own statement, were so forcibly brought against you 1wo years ago.’ The reverend gentleman then refers to the $1000 which Councilman Manuel offered yesterday if it coutd be proved that his action was taken because of the | saloon men's dictation. He concludes: “1n closing, permit me to say that it ~till remains a riddie to thousands of citizens what led our Councilmen to such reversal of action as was Witnessed recentiy in the Council chamber. I guessed at the riddle and you say I guested wronz. Well, I give 1t up. Will you not give us the answer? It would please thousands of us mightily.” SERGEANT FITZGIBBON'S WILL'| Eis $30,000 Estate It to I'e Distributed Among Keiatives. The will of the late Police Sergeant John M.

J. Leaves Her Hotel for a Week and Is Unable to Find It Again. She Speaks No English and Does Not Know the Namas of the House or the Street. Mrs. H. Neilsen, a Ruesian Finn woman who arrived here on Tuesday from Men« docino and who speaks no English, isin exactly the same position as the Indian who was seen walking aimlessly about the street with his eyes fixed on the pave- ment. Asked if he was lost be gravely replied: “Indian nolost. Indian bere,” tapping his breast. “Trail lost.” Mrs. Neilsen denies that she is lost, but admits she cannot find her hotel. ‘There is a very pathetic side to the story that came out while the poor woman was applying, with the aid of an interpreter, for assistance at the California-street police station yesterday afternoon. She came to this City to meet her hus- band, who had preceded her, and after making some purcuases they were to re- turn bome.

The next aiternoon she grew tired wait- ing for ber husband, who was detained by business els-where, and started out for | a’walk to see Lhe sights. Since then she has been unable to find her hotel, and with her cnild has wan- dered about asking many in her own tongue for aid in find nz her lodgings, but receiving in mostcases nothing but be- wildered stares.

Yesterday afternoon she came again, this time with a man who understood her language, and tried to induce the police to find the hotel. Snhe said she was not lost, but could not find the place where she had lodged. She did not know the name of the house nor the sireet it wason and could give but a vague description of the place. From what I:ttle couid be learned through the interpreter it was surmised that she meant the Chicago Hotel and she was sent there. She did not appear to be alarmed at her predicament and the little child smiled shyly at the big policeman as sne hung to her mother’s hand BASEBALL T0-DAY.
