There are scores of people in Oakland who have been professing for to do just what Bruther cts to do, ‘and no notice has i of them. There is much in the method that savors of blasphemy and does not appeal to common seuse, but I think the truth about the be-bearded gen- tleman is told when he is described as a wandering Englishman—wandering both bodily_and mentally, and there is nothing in this menacing to the commonwealth.

BERKELEY, July 3.—The residents of South Berkeley do not intend to go with- out water, even if the rest of the town | L is not able to secure any. They propose to have a supply ot their own if the Boara of Trustees does not take steps to remedy, in some way or other, the present drought. At a meeting held in the hall on Ashby | avenue last Thursday, several property | owners suggested the plan of forming a | stock company for furnishing water to | those who live in that neighborhood. The suggestion was received very favorably, but action was postponed until after fur- ther consideration. “There is every prospect now that the proposed plan will be carried out. Dr. Waoodson Allen, of Ashby avenue, who 1» interested in the project, said to-day that unless a municipal water supply was as- sured before very long, the residents of the vicinity would certainly start a com- pany of their own. He estimated that total capital of from $6000 to $10.000 would be required. The company would erect tanks, together with a° pumping plant. Water would be furnished to the stock- | holders only. He expressed himself as | confident that the necessary money could be readily obtained and that there would he no difficulty in getting the quantity or water needed. Remembered Their Comrades. .

A GRAND‘DAUGHTER’S STORY PLAYED “STAR-SPANGLED BAN- NER” TO ITS AUTHOR. Strong Religious Sentiment Was Always the Leading Trait in the Family Since Their Set- tlement. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 8. The most interesting visitor to Oak- land of the Fourth is Mrs. Reuben Norwood, a granddaughter of Francis Scott Key, whose famous song, ‘“The Star Spangled Banner,” bids fair to be- come the national anthem of the United States. Her home is at Texar- kana, one of the lively cities that lie on the borderland of Texas, and is claimed as a part of Arkansas and Loulsiana, | as well as the Lone Star State. Mrs. Norwood is the only descendant iOf the famous poet whom Texas shel- ters, and her visit to the coast is to at- tend a gathering of the Western de- scendents. Captain Baldwin, a great grandson of Francis Scott Key, and an officer in the Kansas Volunteers, is visiting his mother in San Francisco, and Mrs. Lieutenant Cutts, a grand- daughter, whose home is at Mare | Island, is also in that city attending | the family reunion. Mrs. Norwood is a woman well past 70 vears of age, but keen of mind and vigorous of body. She is the daughter of Anna Key, who married Congress- man Turner of South Carolina. Anna Key was a belle and a beauty and her wit and briliancies made her the toast of all the beaux in Washington, and later in Atlanta, where as the wife of a wealthy Congressman, whose father was Governor of the State, her social powers were unexcelled. Mrs. Norwood was ralsed In all the luxury of a wealthy Southern home, with slaves to wait on her slightest wish. She inherited much of her mother’s beauty and wit and also some of her grandfather's genius, for she, too, writes poetry and has set some of, it to music. She is a clever conversa- tionalist and is full of reminiscences of the poet, who died when she was about 12 years of age. “Francis Scott Key was one of the best men that ever lived,” said she. “‘There were two things that he held dearer than all else in the world—his country and his God. He inculeated Into his chiidren and his grandchildren this love. He was a quiet, modest man and was not wont to 1k of himself or what he had done. He w lectual man, and T remember that every Christmas brought a box of books from grandfather to his grandchil- dren, and these were days when books were expensive luxuries. He was a man of most domestic tastes and nothing pleased him more than to gather his chil- dren and grandchildren around him at family reunions. He was a churchman, and wrote several which will be found in the hymnal. “In personal appearance he was a rath- er small man, but fine looking. He was dignified and yet there was an affection- ate kindness about him that drew all hearts to him. He was devoted to his grandchildren and they in turn were de- voted to him.” Mrs. Norwood declared that many of Key's poems are now lost. During his lifetime he would never consent to have any of them published, and though one of his daughters collected several poems for publication later, the collection is not complete. Mrs. Norwood is an accomplished musi- clan and plays skilifully on the harp, guitar and plano. Among her music is a brilliant arrangement of “The Star- spangled Banner,” which as a girl she played to the composer, and now as an old lady still plays for her friends. Mrs. Norwood is out here for an in- definite length of time and may not re- turn until next year. She has had several pictures taken of the monument in Gold- en Gate Park to her grandfather's mem- ory. Mare Island, where the bodies of her mother and father are buried, will also be visited before Mrs. Norwood re- turns to Texas. The most noted characteristic of the | family of the Keys has been for three generations their strong religious ten- dencies, Thomas | Key, the father of Francis Scott Key, tho died in Maryland in 1764, left a will which is remarkable for ite devoutness and manliness. Had all slave owners been of the same disposition as old Thomas Key, the Civil War would have been postponed. for a long perlod. Compared with the curt “In the name of God, amen,” with which modern wills Thomas Key's opening para- graph is a complete declaration of Chris- tian faith, even to the “Trinity in Unity and Unity and Trinity” to whom he ap- peals. The will makes detailed provision for every debt and every slave, and breathes the spirit of nobility and charity in every line. PATRIOTIC CHRISTIANS. Impressive and Stirring Sermons in the Churches of alameda. ALAMEDA, July 3—Several of the churches to-day held special patriotic ser- vices. The First Presbyterlan Church was elaborately decorated with flowers and flags and the choir rendered excellent music. Dr. Brush preached a very able sermon on the “Imperial Policy of Amer- jca.”. A stirring feature of the morning services at the close of the sermon was singing of the ‘‘Star-spangled Banner” by the choir and congregation. In Christ E piscopal Church, Rector acy preached a patriotic sermon. The goldiers were invited especially to attend. | The church was beautifully decorated. Patriotic services were held in the Park-street Methodist Episcopal Church this evening. In the Young People’'s En- deavor meeting to-night Dr. C. A. Coe of the Northwestern University of Chicago made an address on “Christian Citizen- shi; after which Chaplain W. H. Scott f the United States army spoke on “Our ‘ountry and Its Flag.” The pastor, Dr. Bovard, followed with a discourse on “The Religious Phases of the War With Spain.” The church was decorated with the stars and stripes and patriotic music was renderex A BABY BUFFALO AT THE PARK 200 SMALL CRCWDS «ISTEN TO A FINE MUSICAL PROGRAMME The Soldiers Enjoy Lively Swimming Contests at Sutro’s and Break o Coast Under Water Record. Owing to the lowering clouds and cold mists driven inland by the winds of the sea the park and Cliff House were unpop- ular with the masses of pleasure seekers yesterday. Many lovers of melody, how- | ever, enjoyed the programmes at both places The Park Band played much long- er than usual. It began at 2 o'clock and did not leave the stand until after 6 in the evening. The programme was com- posed of' both sacred and patriotic selec- tions, and the martial selections that car- ried the mind from those peaceful scenes out under-the trees, to the taraway shores of Cuba, where America's sons are bat- tling for the right, were encored again and again. At Sutro Baths and at the Chutes the largest numbers congregated. An appropriate programme was rendered at the Chutes and the various features were enjoyed by all. This evening will probably see.a larger crowd at the Chutes than that of yesterday. The city fireworks will be dispilayed just opposite the big glea:ure resort, and when the last rocke. 1as_burst and spread its myriad of mul ticolored lights a novel pyrotechnic dis- play will be given on the lake in the Chutes ground. If the piece can be per- fected by this evening, and it is thought that it can,.a representation of the sink- ing of the Maine will be the feature. A handsome little vessel, the counterpart of the great ship that went to the bottom through the treachery of our now common enemy, will swim on the lake, meet with disaster and go to the bottom, its outline, guns and turrets being lines of fire, bril- liant as the tints of a kaleidoscope. The principal feature of the programme at Sutro Baths was the underwater swim- mln% of G. Bundy of the Washington and H. Thompson of ‘the Minnesota regiment, Both contestants beat the coast record of 43 yards, held by Lonnie Trueworthy. The event was decided a tie, as both men dived the entire length of the tank, 48 vards. The winners of the other events were: Fifty-yard dash for Kansas Volunteers, J. Milier, L. Fuaua; T5-yard dash for Ten- essee Volunteers, G. Michols, G. Draki 100-yard dash for Colorado Volunteers, G. Clark, J. Anderson; 120-yard dash for Min- nesota Volunteers, F. Buck, C. Cragie, 150-yvard dash for California Volunteers, J. Brit. F. Dahne; high-diving championshi, of the volunteers, G. Leiue of the Sevent California, 73 feet. Many new attractions have appeared at ! the park during the past weck. Saturday a baby buffalo came into the world and the day preceding an elk was born. The little creatures, in accordance with their native instincts, become startled at the approach of their admirers and scurry away as fast as their immature limbs wiil carry them. They are handsome little fel- lows and make a valuable addition to the features at the zoo.
