A | few days ago a very bright-looking young | man called on the professor at his office | in the Blake & Moffitt block and told him | a very pretty little story. The stranger had been *“‘up against iU’ of late, he said, and he had accidentally sven the name of Knowlton on a —his very own name.

RAN DOWN AN AGED MAN. Reckless Drivers Cause Dennis Mc- Carthy Serious Injury. OAKLAND, Dec. 11.—Dennis McCarthy, a gardener residing at Thirty-ninth and Grove streets, was run down by a vehicle at Pledmont and Moss avenue crossing early this evening and was found uncon- scious by Motorman Ashford and Conduc- . J. Thompson of car 107 of the Pled- mont electric line. Those who had run him down did not stop to see how seri- ously he was Injured. At the Receiving Hospital Dr. Stratton and Steward Tobin treated McCarthy for a broken nose, an ugly g head and a torn lip. His heart is decidedly w . he is aged, and it is not unlikely that under these conditions his injuries may prove fatal. He regained consciousness and sald some reckless drivers had run him down. Their identity was not known to him, but he thought they were by He did not lame them, for said he, “What can you xpect of boys?"” —_——— ALAMEDA LOCAL DERAILED.

Tells the First Connected Story of the Affray in Which He Was Nearly Killed. ALAMEDA, Dec. 11.—Officer Charles Keyes, who was shot and serlously wounded in Oakland while endeavoring to serve a warrant on John Reddy, is now at his home {n this city and has recovered sufficiently to be aliowed to see a few visitors. Keyes says he struggied with his assailant almost from the time he laced him under arrest near Market and Seventh streets. When they reached Jefferson square the prisoner grappled with the officer. Keyes had his man down and made two futile attompts to handcuff him. The man finally broke vay, and after running about fifteen turned and began firing on the of- Keyes says he pulled his gun at the me instant and the pair shot simul- onfident one of my shots took id Keyes, “‘because I noticed the man_'stagger. elleve 1 would have killed the fellow if I had my own weapon, but 1 was carrying a borrowed pistol and I was not on to its action. The first bul- let that struck me was the one that went through my body. I fell, although I did not lose consciousness.

I was endeavoring to find an Oakland officer to deliver my pris- oner to when the shooting occurred.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 11.—The preliminary examination of Mrs. Anna _Mentel, charged with murdering her husband, will be commenced to-morrow afternoon before Justice Henry Morris. For the oc- casion the Justice will transfer his court to Recorder St. Sure's apartments in the City Hall. District Attorney-elect J. J. Allen will conduct the W. Foote and Senator Guy C. Earl will represent the defendant. Much evidence gathered by the police and not yet made public will be introduced. In view of the action taken in a recent murder case here, where the defendant was_a woman, it is stated the attorneys for Mrs. Mentel will make a fight to end the case at the preliminary hearlnf. It is thought their plea will be self-defense, but the prosecution has abundance of evi- dence to combat such a theory. Alameda News Notes. ALAMEDA, Dec. 11.—The funeral of the late George A. Wigney, who died Thursday at his home, 1561 Ralilroad avenue, took place this afternoon from the Baptist Church. The remains were interred in Mountain View Cemetery.

Shields was driving along the overlook drive, when his horse took fright and ran away. did his best to control the animal, without success, and finally a_quick turn threw him from the huxiy, but fortunately he escaped injury. The horse continued on its mad flight, and when it was finally overtaken by Officer Delegara the buggy was a wreck. Sydney Perry, a well-known man about town, was exhibiting the speed of his horse, and was hauled up and .ar- rested by Mounted Officer Artennes. Perry deposited the necessary bail and was released. The crowds at the park and ClUff were Shields | very large, and the Chutes grounds were | jammed with pleasure-seekers. Next Sun- | day an ascension will be made by Vosmer, | the noted aeronaut, who was injured sev- “eral weeks ago at the Chutes.

Central Methodist Church was crowded to the doors last night by the members of the congregation, who came early with a desire to listen to the eloquent discourse of Rev. C. E. Locke on “Jesus Enshrined in Poetry.” Following this discourse two others will be delivered on ‘‘Jesus in Art" 295 Gwelling o Tast night’s subject Dr n dwelling on las ec = Locke said: =} L This evening we shall view our Christmas King from the graceful slopes of Mount Parnassus. Here about us in picturesque groups are blind Homer, queenly Sappho, and tragic Saphocles, Horace ‘and Virgil, Dante and Milton and Versatile Shakespeare; Chaucer and Spencer and Pope, and Dryden and Keats; Shelly and Coleridge’ and Wordsworth, Tennyson and the Brownings, Whittier, Lowell and Longfellow. Some of the divinest of these bards have at- tuned their lyres and sung to us of the Christ- mas Savior. & | Poetry is a gift of God. It is the artistic expression of the human mind in emotional and ryhthmical language. It is one of the fine arts, and is one of the mightfest factors at work in’the elevation and refinemént of man- kind. Poetry proves the divinity and immor- tality of the soul. ‘The more we feel poetic do_we become like God in love and power.' The poet is a priest of nature. He catches the music of nature and, like Lucy - Larcom, interprets the ripplings of the waterfall; like Wordsworth the swaying of the pines, and like Milton, the delicate tintings of the sunset. The poet is also a priest of holiness. It has been well said that no man can be a great poet who has not been born again—that is, born from above. He is a priest of life. The poet is a priest of Christliness and it is in this ca- pacity that we listen to-night to his tender and persuasive gospel. David and Isalah and Ma- lachl foretold the coming of Christ in rhyth- mical cadences. The exultant Virgin broke forth in poetical rejolcings of remarkable beauty as she fully comprehended the truths of the Annunclation. And in all the hurry- ing centuries as men have felt the genius of poesy, it Is when they have chosen Christ as their ‘theme that they have wrought master- pleces of song, and moved the hearts of men, The Dantes, the Miltons and the Shakespeares have made themselves Immortal in all ages because they have permitted God to speak through their souls concérning our Redeemer and his great truths, Poets are made great by the majesty and inspiration of such a ce- lestfal theme. In concluding Dr. Locke said: associate with the poets. The man who does not love the great poets has allowed the sublimer instincts_of his nature to remain undeveloped. By the aid of the poet we scale the helfihts of divinity and associate with the infinite.” ————— Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY, Dec. 11.—The Channing Club of the Unitarian Church will hold its 17st meeting of the present year next Fri- day evening.

CROSETT & CO., 316 Sutter st. abrasions of the face and probable in- ternal Injuries which may prove fatal. A diagnosis of the case showed that amputation of the arm was necessary. ‘When the injured man was informed of this he asked that the operation be post- oned until he could summon some riends. At his request a note was sent to Charles Fair, and as he was not to be found Falkenberg asked that Mayor Phelan be called. In response to a tele- hone message the Mayor visited the gospltal. and shortly after his arrival Fair, accompanied by Dr. Tate, came to see the injured man. Falkenberg was re- moved to the French Hospital, where Dr. Tate amputated the arm. Falkenberg was for ten years manager of a ranch of James G. Fair in Alameda County. After the death of the Senator he was employed by the trustees for some time, but about three years ago went to- New York. The world did not treat him kindly, and about a year ago be returned to California, and since that time has been making a living at any odd work he could find to do. While drinking in a saloon last evening a man approached Falkenberg and in- quired if he would not assist him in re- moving a safe down the stairway of a neighboring building. Falkenberg ac- companied the man, and with his help and that of five other men the safe was lowered two stories without accident. Six men were above the safe with a rope which they paid out slowly. Falkenberg was in front of the safe with a pinchbar to block its progress. In some manner the men above lost control of the rope and the safe crashed down the stairs, carryln? Falkenberg with it. The doors at the foot of the stairs were torn from their hinges and splintered and the floor was broken to pleces. Falkenberg i{s an unmarried man, 37 *enrs of age. His father, the late Baron ‘alkenberg, was for twenty-six years the Swedish and Norweglan Consul to Quebec, Canada, whete the son was born and lived the early portion of his life. He was at one time superintendent of the £an Diego Water and Light Company, and it was while in that city that he made the acquaintance of Mayor Phelan. —_————— HOTEL ARRIVALS.
