Dr. Boyer of Chicago by the Eastern press, whicn her- alded his coming to the coast by pro- claiming him to be the “Edwin Booth of | the puipit,” has caused that gentieman | much annoyance. Every newspaper in | the State has had something to say about | him, mostly in the line of ridicul'e, and a poet of Fresno named Waterhouse broke into verse a few days ago, all of which has been calmly endured by Dr. Bover until to-day. This afternoon he decided that the time had come to call a balt, and when seen thi< afternoon Le sai. ‘“‘Because of the unplsasant publicity at- tached to my appearance in this city, I think Iam justified in refuting some un- just insinuations.

They roint lo the statute, | which is very explicit on the question. | In order to obtsin information on the | matter the Attorney-General was com- | municated with, and he replied that it | was tue business of the District Atiorney | to farnish opinions on such questions, and that if that official desired further in- formation he could apply to the Attorney- | General. No further steps were taken in | the premises, but & movement of some | sort is looked for. If the law shall be upheld and the authorities be forbidden from paying the | expenses of “the paid department the city | will save about $15,000 a year which it is now paying out. The maintenance of the department would fall upon the insurance companies, so it is claimed, until such time as the law can be repealed or amended. 8o far nothing bas been done beyond discussing the probable scope of the law, though some decided move is locked for ere long. s s FAVORING HOME TALENT.

Mr. Morgan is the pastor of the Christian Church of Ala- meda, and Monday he laid his kinder- garten scheme beiore the Christian Minis- ters’ meeting, and a motion of indorse- ment was passed. “My idea,” said the Alameda pastor, “is to open free kindergartens in various i paris of this City, where the children shail | receive religious as well as secular instrue- | tion, All the teachers will be certiticatea kindergarteners, but they will be profess- g Christians as well. In connection with this a beadquarters will be opened, where working women can leave their children during the day, and where chil- dren and adulis can have access toa li- | brary of religious literature.” Mr. Morgan is raising the money for his scheme by monthly subscriptions, varying from 25 cents to $150. He will open the first kindergarten when the subscribers number 1000, and he stated yesterday that Le expected soon to reach the required number. Rev. Edward T.
