THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1897. J0ST PICKED 0P A STAKE Searchlight Jogged Around for the Pacific at Oak- land. Pasonte Captured the 2:17 Trot After Giving Her Backers a Scare. The Palace Hotel Stake Proved a Oake - Walk for Lyn- all. Had it not been for the 2:17 trot, what a reslly dull day spectators would have spent at the Oakiand track yesterday. This furnished the only semblance of a contest of the entire three events started. The two starters for the Pacifie stake for three-year-old pacers — Telephone and Searchlight—could not have been more aptly named. ~At the:finish of each heat Bennett, behind Telephone, wouia . have had to have “rung up central’’ had he de- sired to have conversed ‘with Keating, holaing the reins over the bay wpacing wonder, so Iar was the latter in front.

As itis, the ¢ity will save be- 1ween $50,000 and §75,000 per year on im- surance. This is a rough estimate, but the figures will not befar from the correct mark.

The Committee Has Been Instructed to Send the Order Forward at Once. Definite action was taken last night at a meeting of the Goethe-Schiiler Monu- ment Association, with regard to having the movument erected in Golden Gate Park within the nex: vear. Presiaent Charles Bundschu, in calling the meeting to order, said they wers to recelve and counsider a report from the monument committee who had received a tempting offer from Germany, which, if accepted, would enable the association to erect the monumeni without calling for many more contribations. Dr. Max Richter, chairman of the monu- ment’ committee, Teported thatthe com- mittee, after carefully considering several offersfor the statue, had decided to recom- mend the “aeceptance: of the" offer of the| famous Lauchhammeér Bronze Foundry in Germany, which was to furnish the statue in‘bronze from the castings of the original by the “sculptor -Rietéchel, now in- the Albertinum National'Museum in Dresden, the heirs of Rietschiel having given their consent.. It was the intention of the com- mittee to have the pedestal made of Cali- fornia stonie and designed by a California artist. The report ‘was adopted amid enthusi- asm, and a resolution was passed author- izing the committee to order the siaiue at ouce. President Bundschy stated that he had consuhied wit:: the Park Commissioners and it was practically decided thata place would be- reserved lor the monument in the ‘meighborhood . of- the new music in‘)(\imus, whaere the Midwinter Fair was eld. In order toinsure that the statue will be a credit 10 the association and the city one of the most prominent sculpiors in Ger- many has offered his services to earefully exsmine it aitér being cast, so that from an artistic standpeint 1t will be perfect. The ‘figures 'in- ‘the Rietschel statue stand about ten fet on a brouze ,ounda- tion, and the width of the two fizures is’ about seven feet. -Added to this will be the pedestal of California stone, and taken altogether it will be & most impos- ing monument.

DR. CHARLES EDWARD LOCKE. The new pastor for the Central Methodist Chureh, on Mission street, near Seventh, arrived her¢ on Thursday from Portland, Or., where he has just completed a remarkably successful five years' term as pastor of tae pioneer Methodist church of that city. He is staying temporarily at the Stewart, corner of Elifs and Leavenwortn streets, and is accome panied by Mrs. Locke, three dsughters and a son. Dr. Locke is comparatively a young man. His mild, affable manners are of the sort calculsted to make a favorabie impression at once. He had the reputation ia Portland, whiere hie was very popular, of never having hurt auy one’s fecliags. By enarly training, and wlmoet by hered:ty, Dr. Locke was a practical newspaper man and printer. - Preyious to his call to Portland he was pastor for the full five-year term of & latge downtown church in Pitisburg, Pa. Strangely enough his Pertiand charge was a downtown. church, and his new pastorate is downtown. Upon the occasion of his leaving Portland several days ago, he was tendered a large fareweil reception at which were repre- sentatives of other denominations, wlio united with the Methodists in expressing regret athis depariure.and at Portland’s loss of his valueble services in Christian work, in which Mrs, Locke was also -prominently identified. When, according to the Portland pap-rs, he Preached his farewell sermon, last Sunday night, several bundred persons, unable to get standing room in the cnurch, had to turn away. Last night a large welcome feception was tendered the new pastor by the members of his new flock. The literary exercises were bifef. Miss Etta Wopd, Robert Paterson, Mrs. Henry Jones, R. V. Watt; C. O. Burton and F. Hodge, representing the different societies of the church, extended their greeting, Dr. and Mrs. Locke feelingly responded, thanking all for the cordial reception accorded them. ~William Abbott, chairman of the committee of arrangements, prosided over the gathering.

A gentleman of Brooklyn, employed y a great publishing house, had suffered for three years from dyspepsiaand had it so badly that the doctor said his wasa confirmed case. This gentleman, who was somewhat face- tious as well as dyspeptic, usedto scy that he had his ticket engaged for a passageover the Styx. - He had dieted for years until his wifesaid he had nearly come down to drinking dew and eating rose leaves. Now it happenedthatone day he had a dinnerinvitation which he really wanted to-accept and he was induced to make trial of Ripans Tabules, because he had seen their wonderful effect advertised so much. He began three daysin advance, taking one after each meal, then he went to the dinner and allowed himself full swing ; but took two Tabules afterward. Next morning he found himself all right and very soon a lady neighbor was heardto ask his wife: “ What have you been doing to your husband lately? islooking fine!” He had noteatena good dinner for three years be- fore that night, but now his friendly relations with turkey have been re- sumed and in the exuberance of his new liberty he cultivates pie and, in fact, has a tendency to sample everything there is going. ud B Shpa e s s e R s ey bz lLID TR el New Tork ar's dlagle cArlen GRS
