THE ‘SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1897 g ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. EFFECT OF DR, | KNOX'S LESSON Ladies Decide That Modern Athens Needs Some Attention. Republicans Should Avoid the Errors of Ignoring the R Interior, Oakland's Selfishness Caused Great Loss to the Party in 1894 OAgLAND OrFice SAN Fraxcisco C 908 Broadwav, Oct. The sessions of the Ebell Society are not made public, but 1t would be of more than ordinary interest to know what comments followed Dr. Myra Knox’s paper of last Tuesday. T octor made an anarchical statement that Browning and woetry, usic and academic art were not of so much importance as clean stireets and public parks. She {urthermore said that God may have made more inconsistent people, but he certainly never permitted more of them to get together in one place than can be found in Oakland. [hen, as if this were not enougn, Dr. Knox added that if an ancient Greek were to geta whiff of a portion of fashionable “modern Athens,” he would die. The effect of these sentiments must be left to the imagination, for there were no artists or reporters present, but they have already resuited in the formation of the Woman's City Improvement Club, and next Friday the members will meet and lay out the lines along which they will work. Much is expected from this body because Dr. Knox represents all that is active and progressive in the women of city. In (he Ebell are about 500 mem- bers who, if tiuey would work together, 1ld accomplish anything they desired in It is not to be supposed that was organiz~d solely for intellectual improvement, w1l tolow Dr. {nox’s precedent in a body, but affiliation with the Ebail does not mortgage the best effort of the ladies to that institution, and outside of their white Greci temple there is much for them to do. Tae Evell includes the most progressive, the mos intellectual and the most wealthy among Qaklands society, but hitherto it has not been heard of outside « f its e xclusive field of work. Now that Dr. Myra Knox has made a depariure luture movement in 1hat direction will be watched with new nterast. Although ttere will be no convention for nearly a year there is one idea that the Republicans of Alameda County will do well to bear in mind, Oakliand is not the whole of Alameda County. Thereis no argument that can be advanced that will convince the voters, outside of Oak- land, that they are not deserving of so.ce recognition in the county government. uring the past three years not a single county official, outside of one Supervisor, who must come from a certain district, has be ‘n in office who ¢id not come from tbe bay shore. Atths present time there are three Populists in office in the county bui dings, and the fact that these offices are not filled by Republicans is due to the same mistake that there is every indica- tion to beli-ve will be repeated next year —the ignoring of the interior of the county. uring the Republican conven- tion of '94 the cry was Irequently raised by the couniry delegates: *‘Give us some- thing’’; but it was not heeded, and par- tial de.eat foliowed. Livermore, which is the very ceater of the interior, wanied to nominate a Superior Judge, but was twurned down, and this left the interior without a single man who was personally interested in the Republican campaign iu a district representing one-third of the voters of the county. Taking advantage of this slighting ot the interior the Popu- lists made a great campaign and wrested three offices from the Republican party. Had tbe Republicans placed one nomina- tion in Mission San Jose and another at Livermore, Oacland conld have had all the rest, and the entire Republican ticket would have been elected. Last November the general election showed that Alameda County is still over- lelmingly Repuolican, and it is the duty unty leaders to see that this spirit There are fourteen elec- tive offices which are filled by the voters of the entire county. If two of these g0 o the interior nothing could stop the com- plete success of the Republican ticket. There are in this county 26,447 voters. Of these Ozkland has 13,267, or 44 more than balf, and yet out of ihe eleven county offices now filled by Republicans Oakland alone is filling ten. Such selfishness can »e depended upon to divide the county in 1898 as it did in 1894 - Miss Mollie Conners, one of Oakiand’s political equality leaders and editress of society’s Saturday Night, shouid be elected president of a philosophical union. In concluding an editorial on reporters she says : “The reporter sees men daily in eritical situations, in the first despair of business disgrace or of personal be- reavement, in the flush of sudden succers. He sees also what the needs of the city are. At least one reporter in this town has done an enormous amount for political and social improvement. He isone of the jew men who is proud of the name of reporter and is impressed by his duties to the public.” There are about twenty-five newspaper men in this city and up to date two dozen of them have met Miss Conners and thanked her for the pretty personal com- pliment. There is only one fault to find with Mayor Thomas’ lecture 1o ‘‘ward politic- izns” at the City Halil a few daysago. It was about three montbs too late, Of course it is betier late than never, but the Mayor has lost some of the credit of it by delaying it so long. Had ne read such a riot act a month after taking office all the retty scandals that bave disgraced the Fire Department would not have heen heard of. Being a Republican, office. seekers naturally thought he would re- place the incumbents put in office by the last Populistic Board of Works with Re- ublicans, but as this cannot be done 1t is occasion in his sermon to define h's opin- ions verv clearly. *'Christ’s idea of religion,”” ue said, “is not to join a church or to give assent to a creed. These may help, but to be relig- ious is to develop maniiness, no purity, love—in a word, God-likene man may make long pravers and repeat all the crecdsever written, buthe isno! re- ligious unless he bas in him wne divine light.” Doubts of Professor Le Conte. BERKELEY, Can, Oct. 3.—Professor 0s«ph L2 Conte of the University of Cali- fornia 1s inclined to regard with doubts the new Gates microscope, which the in- ventor claims will magnify objects many milhon times their actual size. Professor Le Conte said to-night: *“Aseverybody versed in opties knows, there is littie diffi- culty in securing greater magnification. The difliculty comes in_secaring the defi- nition and the light. Gates for the last fif ecn or twenty years has won a reputa- tion for discovering impossible things.” Another Blaze in Berkeley. BERKELEY, Car., Oct. 3—The one- story residence of Mrs. A. M. Kennedy on Lincoln street, near Muree, was destroyed by fire last night. Mrs, Kennedy hada gone out early in the evening, leaving a small kerosene-lamp burning low. It is presumed either that this exploded or was overturned by « cat. The loss on building and conteats was about $1000, insurance $750. MURIURS GROW LOUDER. Coach Nott and Captain Haskell, Culmination of Disaffections in the Ranks of the Football Players. BERKELEY, C. Oct. 3.—Now that thelatent disaffection in the ranks of the California football players has found ex- pression in the open revoltof the big 'Gene Sheehy, the crack guard, against the methods of Coach Nottand Captain Haskell, the dissatisfuction of the blue and gold supporters is finding bolder ex- pression than heretofore. Criticisms that were formerly repressed as being detri- mental to football interests are now being openly uttered, and many declare that since a change is necessary it cannot come too soon, as the time between now and the ‘Phanksgiving yame is short. Too many coaches giving orders is the reason cenerally assigned for Sheeby'’s withdrawal from the squad. Archie Pierce has been coaching the big guard in addi- tion to the coaching of Nott and Haskell. The instructions of the various coaches did not always coincideand Sheehy disre- earded their suggestions, playing his game according to his own ideas. On one occasion Sheehy retorted to Pierce’s orders | in very forcible terms, and his refusal to apologize when ordered to do so by the captain is said 1o have been Haskell’s rea- son for taking him off the Varsity eleven. | Atany rate, Sheehy’s name was placed on the list of the second eleven and he re- fused to play in that capscity. Several criticisms of Mott’s methods of coaching have been made by the players. “Nott's method,” said one of the candi- dates yesterday, “'is similar to the method employed in a Sunday-school class, where deportment is the criterion. The men | who do whatever Nott tells them are own the preference, while those who do ot fall in with bi. ideas are placed on the third or fourth elevens.”” Nott has aiso almost entirely neglecied Guiberson, the big freshman wbo, many of the players say, would be a promising man if he only had some instruction 1n the game of which he is now ignorant. Nott is re- poried to have said that he wished to leave Guiberson to his own resources and see Low much aptitude for football he de- veloped. During the daily practice for the past week or so the biz guard has spent & gooa part ol the time on the side lines. The athletic committee meets to-mor- row, and action on football affairs may be taken then. Although the captain is elected ty the members of the previous year’s team, he can be d splaced by the committee. Haskell has been informed of the feeling against him as captain, and has declared that he is willing to resign if his presence on the team will stand in the way of Berkeiey's prospects for Thanks- giving Duy. Coach Mott refuses to say anything whatever in regard to the exist- in: compiications. Sheehy, just before the men lined up against Reliance Saturday, remarking on the reasons for his withdrawal, said: “If you want to know why [ quit, just watch the Berkeley men play to-day; see how they are handled and what k:nd of man- agement there is. I have quit, and I don’t go back unless thereis a decided change of management. ——— City Employes Lost. ALAMEDA, CArn, Oct. 3.—The Ala- meda City Employes baseball team was beaten by a larg- margin this morning. They played against the team from tie posioffice employes, and the mail-carriers gathered in the game to the tune of 27 to 12. The postotlice team batted Pitcner Steinmetz of the opposition nine for a choice variety of hits. The batteries were Steinmetz and Simpson for the city and Bird and Daunleavy. The city team put Goldsworthy in Steinmetz’s piace during the latter part of the game, but did not succeed in helping tueir cause much thereby. The city team has now piayed three gdmes and lost two and won one. They fost the first game to Oakiand city and the second was won from the Caklanders. There will be another game played against Ouakland soon to decide the tie. To Fix the Rate. ALAMEDA. CaL., Oct. 3.—The city tax rate for 1897-98 will be fixed to-morrow evening by the City Trustees. It is ex- pected that the rate will be in the neigh- borhood of $112, asit will take about a 12-cent levy to pay salaries and bills for the next three months. The city general fund is already exhausted, thus ieaving a three months’ deficiency to be made good. German Teachers Met. ALAMEDA, CaL., Oct. 3.—The German Teachers’ Association of California met yesterday in the Alameda High School building at the invitation of its secretary, H. E. J. Ongerth of that school. There were several interesiing papers in the German language read by the members. HIGHBINDERS UNHAPPY. Sergeants Wollweber and Shea Keep the Homiciders on the Move. Bergeant Wollweber of tue California- street station, aided by Sergeant Shea of the Chinatown squad, is making it un- pleasant for the highbinders in China- gener for everybod; that an ultimatum has been pronounced. Ervart W. BooTs. “WHAT IS TRUE RELIGION?” “Not Assent to a Creed,” Says Rev. J. A. Cruzan. (_ BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 3,—*“The Christ idea is to take men and develop in them God-likeness—that and nothing else is re- Digion.” Such in substance was the reply of Rev. J. A. Cruzan, pastor of the North Berke- ley Congregational Church, to the ques- tion, *“What is religion "’ upon whica he preached this morning. The pastor made no direct reference to the charge of heresy recently brought against him by a Presby- teriau paper of San Francisco, but he took town who go about with murderous iook- ing knives and long pistols. During the past week more than a dozen of the murderously inclined Mongolians have been arrested by Wollweber and the wen unaer him in Chinatown, and in every case pistols of long range fully loaded and aiso butcher knives have been found upon the persons of those arrested. In this good work Bergeant Shea of the Chinatown squad has been an able assist- ant to his brother sergeantin running in the bighbinders. Daily and nightly raids are made through alleyways and in the dens re- ted to by these Mongolians, and in every case where a hizhbinder is found with a weapon, he is taken to the California- street police station, where he is stripped of his arsenal and locked up, only to be bailed out by the society to which he belongs. | HER YEARS OF SUFFERING END Death of the Widow of the Late General Ralph Kirkham. Forty Years of Charitable Work on Both Sides of the Bay. Was the Originator and the First President of the Fabiola Hospital. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCIScO CALL) 908 Broadway, Oct. 3§ Mre. Catherine Kirkham, wiaow of the late General Ralph W. Kirkbam, died at the Occidental Hotel in San Franeisco last evening. Cerebro-spinal iroubie was the immediate cause of death, but she had been an invalid for ten years. She was stricken with paralysis about ten years ago and for the last six or seven years has been unable to walk at all. Over seventy years ago Miss Mix was born in Georgetown, D. C. She was mar- ried to General Kirkham in New Orleans in 1846, where she moved with her parents when a mere child, In 1855 General Kirkham was ordered to vproceed to Fort Tejon, 1n Lower California, and erect bar- racks for the Government. He took his young wife with him and lived 1in tents for two years while the work was being completed. TLey came to Oakland in 1857 and took up their residence at Eighth and Oak streets where all these years they bave continued to abide. Four and a half years ago her husband died. Mrs. Kirkham has lived with ber daughter, Mrs. Dr. P. L. Wheeler, ever since. Some time ago Dr. and Mrs. Wheeler removed her to the Occidental Hotel, while they took a trip. It was their intention to take her home again, but last Friday she began to fail and they found she could not be moved. Mrs. Kirkham's life in this City has been one of thought and care for others. | When she came here there was no place 10 take a sick or woundsa person except to the County Infirmuary out on the San Leandro road. Several persons in whom ~he was particularly interested died in niaking the trip. She interested erai of her friends and the Fabiola Hospital | were was started. She became its first presi dent and at the time of her deatn was the honorary presicent of the institution. She also endowed a bed there. She was one of the charter members of St. John’s Episcopal church and partici- pated in the laying of the coraner stone when the first building was erected. The late Rev. Dr. Akerly was one of her most intimate friends. She was one of the or- ganizers of the Ladies’ Reiief Society which corducted the two homes at Tem- escal. The Women’s Hospital of San rancisco and the local Associated Chari- ties have also received substantial aid from her. Mrs. Kirkham had four daughters, one of whom is dead.

OaxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO C»\u.,!> 958 Broadway, Oct. 3. A pathetic case of insanity was reported at the Receiving Hospital this afternoon. Mrs. James Tais, living in Bast Berkeley, was taken to the Kast Bay Sanitarium from her home, and it is thought she will have to be sent to an asylum. Two months ago the young woman came to stay with her sister in this city. Bhe came direct from Ireland, and a month ago she was marr:ed to Tait and the couple established a cozy littie home near the stockyards. Soon after her mar- riage Mrs. Tait became melancholy and was completely overcome by home-sick- ness. Everything possible was aone to recon- cile her to her new home and life, but her melancholia gradually became worse and now it is not considered to oe sale for her to be alone. The physicians are of the opinion that with proper treatment Mrs. Tait may soon regain her reason. In Oakland’s Churches.

Oaught on & Trolley Pulley and the Passengers Were Thrown From Their Seats. While car 364 of the Geary street line was running down the hill on Geary street between Laguna and Buchanan yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock, the grip for some unaccountable reason, seemed to be forced into a position which made it impossibie for the grip to be loosened from the rope. As is the rule, the grip- man endeavored to throw the grip open when nearing the power house but before the car could be stopped the grip caught on tne pulley known as a ‘‘dead man,” which supports the rope, and came to a standstili with a crasbh. The passengers thrown from their seats and Con- ductor T. Seyden was thrown against the window in the rear of the car and his left wrist was badly cut. He was taken to the drug store on the corner of Post aud Buch- anan, where his wound was dressed. The four-year-old -child ot A. Cabraol, 709)4 Stockton street,was thrown violently agaiost the side of the car and received painful bruise: about the head and arms. Mr.. Seis of 217)¢ S xth street was also bruised about the nead as well as receiy- ing a seyere strain of the back. The grip- man'’s right hand was badly bruised when the shock came. It is thought it the car bad been in one section instead of two many serious if not fatal injuries would have been received by the passengers, as the two sections allowed tue car to re- bound to a certain extent. The car was badly damaeed at the coup- ling point and will be laid up for repairs. The aceident blockaded the rosd more than an hour. e e FOND OF CHOPPING. Donovan, a Laborer, Makes Things Unpleasant at Home. John Donovan, a laborer, living at 220 Natoma street, arrived home from Port Costa Saturday night, after three weeks’ absence, and signalized the event by chop- ping up the front door with an ax be- cause his wife happened to be out at the time. He was arrested by Policeman O'Meara for disturbing the peace, and yesterday morning was released on $10 cash bail. He got drunk and went home in an ugly humor. He chased his wife out of the house with an ax and then vented his anger upon the kitchen stove, which he smashed into pieces. Policeman O’Meara again arrested him and placed a chargeof ‘common drunk” against him, so that he may get six months in jail to soter up Jonn O Clear ® Portly Cloudy @ Clovdy ® Rarn® Snow SHADED AREAS _SHQW PRECIPITATION| DURING PAST 12 NOURS ‘Explanation.
