[T IS NOT YET T0O LATE. Either Woodward or Brosnahan Can Earn the Gratitude of Oakland To-Night. Oakland Office San Féancisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 27. The allled water companies of this city evidently take issue with incoln. T They have taken the trouble to show, in the most their belief that so far as Oakland is concerned, all Abraham positive m the’ people can be fooled all the time. It is just possible that there may have been a stake made by .the combination in this assumption and that the f g may come from the other side. That the people have been fooled since 1893 ad- mits of no doubt, but a quintet of years is not “all the ti more than poor Woodward is all of the combination. Some Ing the controversy, has said that it would, perhaps, be the best thing that could happen to Oakland, to let the water companies charge the rates on the Hennebery schedule for one year, for that such a system- atic steal, month after month, is about the only thing that will press upon the public mind the necessity of remembering at the next election that ratepayers are not serfs or willing victims of robbers. t is true that this method of retaliation will necessitate nearly a ear of waiting, but the job was put up a year ago, prior to the city convention, and it is about as certain that another such scheme s already incubating for next year. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a big stake to play for, and a big sum for the people to lose, and the best legal talent is being employed to consummate the job. Hennebery and Heitmann have been particularly well posted in the intricacies of the charter and ' parlia- So Says Rev. E. R.

Now comes Major Woodward. In The Call of the 19th he says, “I am for the people.” In the Examiner of yesterday he says, “I can come to no other conclusion than that my vote and position are un- popular.” This being so, it would seem that it Is the easlest thing in the world to become popular, far easier and much more comfortable than to try a e being “for the people” is to oppose thetr wishes.

Uses the Maine Incident to Close a Forcible Argument. Enormous Crowds Gather at the Theater on All These Oceasions. | | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, Feb. 27. | In the middle of the platform in the | Macdonough Theater, thrée times to- day, prayed and spoke the most unique individual that has ever been seen in Oakland’s playhouse. | Surrounded on the stage by four hun- | dred of his officers and facing an au- | dience that filled every seat and corner from floor to dome, General Booth | conducted a day with God and gave three addresses in his usual dramatic, logical and convincing language. | The Macdonough Theater has never contained such an audience. Not even Steve Brodie or “The Girl From Paris” is as strong an attraction as General Booth. As the white-haired old man stands erect it is impossible to look at him without letting the mind go back | to that little hall in Mile-end Road, London, where less than thirty years ago the Salvation Army had its birth. The scope of its present work was shown to some extent by the procession which for several blocks, accompanied by two brass bands, passed through the streets of Oakland twice during the day. There were colored faces, some Chinese officers. others who spoke with a strong Yankee accent, while a few were so English in their language that one almost expected to see hackney cabs and tramcars bowling along be- side them. The orchestra was filled with musi- cians such as the Macdonough hitherto knew not of. Every player, from the cornetist to the bass-drum operator, wore a red shirt with an army crest upon it, with the exception of one lady who handled an alto horn. The big audience was composed of ministers and judges, attorneys, men about town and of many classes that are not usually seen at religious gath- erings. During the whole of the day there was not a single vacant seat and not a soul moved during the ad- dresses. General Booth is a dramatic speaker. He has a tremendous command of his veice, which permits him to shout or | whisper with equal distinctness. At times during his impassioned moments | he falls on his knees and pleads with | remarkable force. Another instant he will be jumping around, his long arms raised toward the ceiling, while h= | forces some special point. In the morning he took for his sub- ject, ““All things are possible to them that belleve,” and his discourse was largely along the lines of personal holi- ness. | This afternoon he drew some power- | ful pictures from the old story of Ana- | nias and Sapphira. “Whether you like it or not,” said he, | “I want to tell you some truths. There | may be ministers in Oakland and Sal- vation officers, too, for all are God's servants, who believe they can bring | about practical results in the hearts of | mankind by relying upon themselves | entirely. 1 have had over half a cen- tury of experience along these lines, | and I can truthfully say that I have | not accomplished anything except | through the working of God in me."” ‘T After reciting the story of the two | ancient liars, and making special ref- erence to the “keeping back” part of the price, the general drew the follow- | ing dramatic word picture, suiting his gestures to the different phases of his story: | “A man and a woman are united in wedlock. On their knees they promise | | riage shall be dedicated solely to his honor and glory. By and by an an- gelic-faced bright-eyed little babe comes along—a gift from the Almighty, a sacred trust. It is clasped by its pa- | rents in their arms, and falling on thelr knees they return thanks to the Almighty for his gift and again renew | their vows. As the little one grows its intellect develops, one friend after an- other sees something to praise about it, suggests this and proposes that, and | there arises an element of vanity in the parents for their child. This in- creases as it grows up, they decide to train it this way and that way— any way but that which they had promised it should follow. It is educated along certaln lines, great attention is paid to special subjects, and what for? To make a success in the world: eventu- ally, to become a servant of the devil and ultimately to perish eternally. This is the result of keeping back a part of the price.” A few minutes later the general had gone from pathos to sentiment. “Whoever gained anything by going back on the Lord?” shouted the gen- eral with his arms extended. “When we make a bargain with our fellow man we intend to keep it, and as a rule we do keep it. It is just as criminal and wicked to repudiate a bargain be- tween the consclence and God as be- tween man and man. “God is not mocked.
