K, Slicer, dnugh i THE SAN FRANCISCO €ALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1897 LADIES T0 UE THE BUBNT COBK Will Appear Two Nights for- the Benefit of Orphans Many Innovations and Some Rea New Jokes Are Solemnly Promised. Ladies of the O. E. S. Undertake a Big Task With Supreme Ccnfidence. OAELAND OrricE Sax Fr The ladies of the Masonic order have planned a grand entertainment at the Masonic Temple on behalf of the orphan- age at Decoto. In making the arrangements for their programme, which is to occupy next Mouday and Tuesday nights, the ladies bave adopted an Eastern custom, some- what new on the coast and entirely new to OQakland. It is the introduction of a corps of lady minstrels. The programme contains the names of twenty-two ladies who will make jokesand patronize burnt otk for the cause of charity, but who are riving to conceal their identity. § One of the chief points of interest in the 7 entertainments will be the disguises of the 1ady jokers. 'Alex. Rosborough, C. L. Pierce, Sterling Carl and Mr. Davenport are the end men and the other ‘‘men” are the twenty-two ladies, who are just now engaged in practicing for their first ap- pearance, Mrs, Frank Pierce, matron of the local lodge .0f the Order Eastern Star, is in charge of the entertainment, and with her committee is working hard on ‘the ramme. All kinds of surprises are prowised and the ladies have actually rane.so far as to pledge that there shail be some entirely new jokes. As mone of se bonmots have been heard in Oakland nany years, this promise of the ladies will certainly atiract every lover of a augh in the city. The Masonic Home at Decoto is now be- ing tuilt and in order to have everything in readiness for the reception of orphans soon a8 possibie, there is need of a big rease of the available fands and it is or this purpose that the ladies are work- pro Pierce to-dey, “should prove a decided hit. It has been tried with success in the East and: has even been given in churches re.’ The lad:es are working hard, but hey are very nervous about tue public i'scovering just who they are. In'the ogrdmme they appear as Maria Snow- ail, Cpalblack Beauty, Hannah Lamp- black, Black Patti, similar characters. ‘‘Some of the costumes of the ladies will e orizinal and startiing, and, in fact, we doing ail in our power to give an exhi- on that will be decidedly unique, be- cause we want our efforts to be thoroughly appreciated and patronized, so 1hat the orphanage will be materiul.y benefited.” : MUNHA.L @cusr. The Revivalist Takes a Spin to San Jose on His Wheel. He .Is Badly Beaten by the Locai Wheelmen Whom H: Challenged to the Ride, ALAMEDA, Can, March 13.—Bright &nd early this morning Revivalist Mun- bail was on deck with his wheel to make good “his challenge to some of the local bicvelers to ride with them to San Jose.

At Mission San Jose Kleupfer's wheel went back on him, and he 100k the train for home. At2:30 P M. adispatch was received here from Mun- hall’s antagonists saying that they bad reached Ban Jose in oud shape, beating tbe revivalist by several miles.

Lane, late of Christ Church, Alameda, has withdrawn his smt for a divorce on the ground of desertion. A default was about to be entered iast Saturday when an appearance was made on behalf of Mrs. Lane, and it was stated that she would flie a cross-complaint which would be sensa- tional. Attorney E. K. Taylor, in asking for a dismissal of the comp'aint, said: *‘The reason it was dism.s-ed was because of the ietter from Mrs. Lane requesting that it be not pressed. I showed the letter to Mr. Lane and he decided in accordance with his wife’s wish to stop proeeedings. At first sue was willing to let Lane get a divorce, but afterward she changed her mind.” ———— Judge Greene Indorsed.

The Eleventh Counc Iman Will De. cide the Matter by His Vote OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,; 908 Broad way, March 13. } All kinds of complications are arising and all kinds of combinations being mads in the struggie for the two offices within the gift of the new administration which ROBBERS CAUGHT N THER ROOST Owned a Bay Yacht and Used It in Their Pirat- ical Raids. One Confesses and the Proceeds of a Burglary Are Re- covered. Probably the Same Gang That Cru- elly Beat and Robbed Old Stephen Airinz. OAKLAXND OFFICE SAN FraANCISCO CALL, 908 Broedway, March 13. } A clever littie gang of youthful robbers was rounded up during the night aftera tively chase. For several days past the aetectives bave been looking for burglars who have systematically entered the Derby tannery in East Oakland. They had four men under suspicion, who made their head- quarters in a shanty near East Fourteenth street and Twenty-third avenue, which was at one time used us a free market. Several times the detectives had tried to reach the robbers’ roost, but they were forced to travel through a cowyard in which was two feet of mud, and while they were attempting to flounder through the men had run off in different direc- tions. Last night, however, the robbers were caught unawares and four of them are now in jail. They are Henry Casey, Red Jackman, Dan Lynch and Mike Kerr. Casey was crught while makin : tracks for Fruitvale, Lynch was found lying in the mud hiding behinJ an old barge in the estuary and the other two were caught aiter a long run. Casey admitted to-day [ 7 WILLIAM B. PRINGLE, the Youngest Member Ever Elected to the Council, Who Aspires to Be President. will assume command of the city govern- ment next month. The struggle for the presidency of the council is just now very interesting. W, B. Pringle, the youngest member of the board, has five votes, William Heitman also has five, and there 1s a warm contest for the eleventh man, whose vote will de- cide the struggle. Will Pringle is an’ entirely new man in Oaklana politics and was proposed for presicent almost before th: votes were counted. He has good support, but there is a feeling that a man who has had some experience in the council chember should be accorded the honor. Mr. Pringle's friends do not think the lack of political experience should operate sgainst his ¢bances. They assert thata young man of leral training, education and marked intelligence is quite as capabe of presil- ing over ‘he deliberations of the council as a man who has been in that body sev- eral years. If there be a ‘“logical” candidate for the office it is Con Brosnahan, who has been reiurned by the people four fimes as Councilman. Mr. Brosnahan, however, stated to-day that he would not accept the position, as he derives far more satis- faction from being on the floor of the Conucil. Tie president has little respon- sibility except in the case of a castine vote, for he cannot act on any comm'ttee and his duti-s are entirely executive. For this reason, it is argued, a young man is as good as an old one. « SALOONMEN ORGANIZE. They Will Fight the Auti-Saloon League to & Finlsh—The Constitutionality of the Referendum Ordinance. ALAMEDA, Can, March 13. — The twenty-turee liquor-dealers of this city met lastevening und orzanized for defense against the Anti-SBaloon Leagne, which proposes to carry on a vigorous fizht at the election in April against the liquor in- terest. The league’s plan is to su! mit what is known as the referendam ordi- nance to the voters—that 1s, the voters of euch precinct are to be aske! to declare for or against the licensing of any saloons in that precinct. Afier examining the ground, liguor-dealers have concladed tnat this is the most vuinerable point, and they will accordingly ‘attack the ordinance under which it is proposed to make .this submission to the people as unconstitu- tional. The contest will be onened on their part next Monday at 1he meeting of the Board of Trustees, when M. P, Wiggin, their at- torney, wili open the ball. They are quite confident that their view is correct and that the precinct plan of submission will not be sustained. Notes. There are rumors of the proposed intro- duction of an ordinance in the Board'of Trustees regulating the speed at which trains may be run within the city limits, At present Alameda is in paris of two Bupervisorial distric s, and it is claimed that the pluce is neglected, Many people would iike to have ihe city made a district by itself, which woull insure adequate representi he county board. . ————— Benham for -trea. Sup -rintendent. OAKLAND, CaL, March 13.—It was stated. to-dav that A. M. Benham, the partner of Mayor-elect Thomas, will be the next Superintendent o: Streets. M Benham has,been 1n the real estate bus ness for many. years and is an ardent Republican, that he had stolen six hides of leather from the tannery, and sold it in 8an Fran- cisco, where it was recovered by the detec- tives. They do not, however, believe Casey’s siory that the oiher men had nothing to do with the burglaries at the tannery. In the robbers’ cabin was found a piece of roga of the same make and size as that whic asu-ed a few days ago for tying up old Stephen Airing before he was cruelly beaten and robbe | in a shanty at Melro-e last Tuesday. 'The men are all known criminals, and’it will now probably appear that they were the three men who assaulted Airing. Red Jackman was arrested once before while in company with Hobo Bill Jones, now in San Quentin. Jackman narrowly escaped prosecution some time ago on a charge of holding up a station agentat Mountain View, Santa Clara County. An investigation to-day showed that the thieyes have a complete system of ob- taining and disposing of their goods. They have a well-rigged boat in the estu- ary, and on it was found a lo’ of new lum- ber, which had evidently just been secured in one of the piratical raids. Casey stated that it was in this boat the stolen leather was taken to San Francisco, and there is no doubt in the minds of the pol ca that this is butone of many crimes committed by the gang. Casey has already been charged with burglary and the other men will be held on charges of vagrancy pending investi- gation. “OLD PARL'S" VIEW. He Has a Parting Word to Say About Satloons. OAKLAND, Can, March 13.—J. M. Bassett, who failed of re-election to the Council, has published a statement re- garding his attitnde on saloons. He says that he does not believe in the ulira- moralist, but he admits he has no further use for the saloon men. He say: “There is a per cent of saloon men as in every other business whose vote is for the candidate who gets 1t. This per cent of the saloon men of Oakland did not vote for me last Monday, and 1t is to raise an insurmountable barrier between mysell and this class of saloon men that I wro- pose to introduce the ‘Bunday-closing ordinance next Monday.evening. I be- lieve the Sunday clo-ing will in a short time wipe this class, who are about one- fourth of the saloon men of the city, ont of existence. 1do not beljeve that Bun- day closing is objectionabl e to the orderly and law-abiding saloon. It is the excep- tion that profits by the Sunday business.” —_—— ST. PATRIOK'S DAY, Many Arrangements Made for Its Ap- propriate Celebration. OAEKLAND, CAL.,, March 13.—The feast of Bt.

Malthine Paint Works and Tw " Cottages Reduced to Ashes. © The Shooting of a Singed Cat Adds Greatly to tue Excite- ment OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Maich 13. Benzine and paint in large quantities furnished the material for a large fire on the water front this afternoon. A little after 2 o'clock flames were discovered in the Malthine Paint Works on First street, near Castro, and owing to the nature of its contents the fire seemed to break out from all parts of the building at once. The'direct cause is not known, though it was stated by one of the foremen that it might have originated through careless- ness of employes. As soon as the general alarm was turned in, it was seen that notbing could be done to save the paint works, and the entire efforts were directed to saving the adjoining property. The works were located on the windward side of a block of factories, and as there was a fresh breeze blowing there was danger for a long time that the fire would work through the block. The department experienced much diffi- +| culty in fizhting the flames on account of the nature of the material in the works. The dense smoke was carried to the lee side of the paintshops, and as thatis the only side on which any practical work could be done the firemen were at a great disadvantage. A few cottages next to the works were partially destroyed, and for some time the flames almost reached the Phaanix Iron Foundry, but some streams were directed to the roof, and they suc- ceeded In protecting the iron foundry until the fire in the paint works was en- tirely under control. While the fire was in progress the large crowd was siartled by hearing a shot fired, and many thought there was an explosion. This was not the case. A police officer caught sight of a poor cat that had been fea-fully burned, and he ended its suffer- ings with a bullet. Four tanks containing 500 gallons of benzine mixture fed the flames when once they -taried, and while the men were at work close to the building two small tanks of gasoline exploded, wreck- ing the rear of the builing, but doing no other damage. The loss to the, paint works is about $6000. Two little cottages owned by Rob- ert Kerzel, which were not occupied, were damaged about $90u, while the iamage to the roof of the Pheenix Iron Foundry is very slighs Several small stores and buildings in the vicinity were damaged in ;,ho aggregate probably a thousand dol- ars. The only accident reported was that of Manager Kuhiman of the paint works, who, when he saw the store in flames, cut his band severely while getting out through the front window. A few sparks from the paintshop started a blaze in a building a block away and an engine was told off to put it out, which it did in a few minutes with practically no damage. THEIR FIELD DAY.

H wison, head of the departm of philosophy at the State Untversity, has written for the students’ monthly magazine an article entitled “Agnosticism and the Higher Human Interests,” in which he repiies to various criticisms of himsei! and his department, passed during the recent controversy aroused by the visit of Dr. William T. Harris to the university. Professor Howison states that the University of California is not an excep- tion' in.arousing the hostility of religious versons, but that the leading institutions of learning throughout the world are made subject io similar denunciation He believes that the prevailing thougl 1 the higher institutions is due to tb tendency of the times toward agnosticism. “Re igion,” said ‘E esupposes the abso.ute sscredness of the law which it delivers for the regulation of life, and the like sacredness of the doctrines upon which the law necessarily depends, Phi- losophy, on the contrary, counts nothing acred except as i indicates itself at the bar of reason. Indeed, it does not hold reason itself sacred exc pt as this justifies itself to itself through relentless doubt and unsparing criticism. How can this apparent antag nism be reconciled 2’ NEW TO-DAY.
