To Hon. Judge Mogan—Dear Sir: Mr. James Donohue, carpet layer by trade, has been drink- ing heavily for some time and wants to try and reform, but it seems that he has passed the pointiwhere he can control him- self. We think it would be a just and kind act to detain him for sixty days and let him try and mend his ways. ¥ours re- spectfully, W. L. WORDEN, .G. H. TAYLOR, JONES & CO., BARNER & KEHLENBERT, F. HEYFRON. + § The above is an unusual document, considering that the principal there- in drew it with his own pen and then secured the signature thereto. Don- ohue had been drinking heavily, as the document attests. He could not reform, as is further set forth, and decided that a prison cell would work results equally as good as any “booze” institute. So he set about getting: himself into jail.” The oc- cupation of keeping out of jail year- ly interests a goodly percentage of our population, Pickpocket Piggott, of course, being among those ex- cepted, but when the public is forced to witness the efforts of a man try- ing to break into jail it simply tiits back on its chalr and awaits re- sults. Donohue is game, however. He wanted to go to jall and he went, but he hasn’t been back since. A few days ago a young man, if 404 B40+0404+0+ 040+ 0+0+0+04+040 +0+04+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+M | signt. Court Favors Him. & man of 30 can be called young, a| peared in Judge Mogan's court. He was about “half shot” and after a nervous glance around approached the bench. Judge Mogan took from his hands the petition and after catching his breath asked where Donohue could be found. “I am the man you want,” said the owner of the petition, and Iu'gge Mogan again reached for air. e court said nothing; his soul was too full of emotion for words. Motioning to the balliff he handed him the petition, waved his hand in the direction of Donohue_and_ gasped “Twenty-four hours.” Donohue was led away by the bailiff to a cell, content. By this time Judge Mogan had recov- ered and Informed the bailiff that in event Donohue wanted .more he was again to be brought before the court and sentence would be forthcoming. Donohue evidently had his flll, how- ever, for when the cell door opened for him he 1it out and has not re- turned. Although an appetite for the demon rum that is past contro] is not to be desired, it Is regarded by many as preferable to a prison cell, and_this Donohue doubtless discovered. Hence his absence. The story of Donohue's success- ful effort to break into jail has its pathetic _as well as ~ humorous %huses. He is the brother of David onohue, who was shot and_killed during the duel between Martin Kelly and Billy Hartington, which occurred some ten years ago in the Republican county committee rooms. The murdered man was but a spec- tator, not a_participant in the fight, and when his brother, who peti- tioned the court to be sent to jail, looked ugon his body in the public charnel _house, he was a changed man. From a life of sobriety and regularity he turned to drink and now, when remorse of consclence seized him, he went to his friends and they signed the document that closed upon him temporarily a prison door. "[S GEORGE WASHINGTON A BACK NUMBER?" Ringing Oration of H. E. Highton. PATRIOTISM AT TABERNACLE Y. M. I. DAY CELEBRATED WITH ENTHUSIASM. The Necessity of Upholding the Con- stitution Insisted Upon—Work of the Order at the Front. OAKLAND, Feb. 22.—The Tabernacle was crowded to-night, the occasion be- ing the celebration of Y. M. I day by Councils Nos. 6, 8§ and 1 of the Young Men’s Institute. Chairman W. V. Har-| rington in a few preliminary remarks | paid a tribute to George Washington and to the progress which his patriotism made possible. He referred to the fact that Colonel James Smith, Father McKinnon and others of the institute had fully up- held the motto of the order, “Pro deo, pro patria,” on the battlefields of the| Philippines. Miss Agnes Fitton and Miss Marfon Fit- ton, two young ladies, were encored for some very clever violin and piano work. A. C. Read, James J. Rosborough, Miss Irene Lenoir, Miss Hattle Savage and George P. Clark supplied a very appro- priate programme of recitation and song. Hon. Henry E. Highton delivered the oration of the evening, taking for his theme “Expansion—Is Washington a Back Number?’ He said in brief: “This question involves our institutions and our constitution. What are the stars and stripes of our flag if they are not the symbols of the principles which Washington represented? Destroy the principles of the constitution and what does that flag represent? 1 confess that when I read that some members of Con- gress in 1899 said that Washington lived in a different age and that his pre- cedents are not for us, the true citizen rebels and rises in denunciation of such IROQUOIS CLUBS RENEW PLEDGES 10 DEMOCRACY Annual Convention of State League.

After the auditing of bills which had [ been incurred during the past year the delegates were enterimized by some ora- torical flights as to what were the best methods to be followed to insure Demo- cratic success, the general bellef being that organization rather than reorgan- ization of the party was essential. lax Popper waxed eloquent over the coming celebration of Democracy’s birth in the State and urged the enlistment of every Democrat in California _in_ the cause. Raleigh Barcar, Major E. Lewis, Judge A. D. Lemon, J. C. Ruddock and Charles Gildea followed in a_similar strain, and the convention adjourned until next ‘Washington's birthday. In the evening the visiting delegates were the guests of the Iroquois Club of this city at a banquet given at Delmonico’s, over which Judge Robert Ferral presided. Covers were laid for 150. An address of welcome was delivered by L. F. Byington, and toasts were respond- ed to as follows: “‘George Washington,” James H. Barry “The Army and Navy,' James V. Col man; “‘Municipal Progress,” Mayor James D. Phelan; ‘“Democracy,” ugh sher; “‘California,” . Early Cral he Judiciary,” Judge Fletcher A. Cut- ler; “The Iroquois,” J. C.

Our sub{Iect embraces the ac- quisition of the Philippine Islands with | its nine or ten millions of barbarous | hordes, incapable of being raised to the | dignity of American citizenship. Our dec- | laration declares that all men are cre-| ated equal—that includes the Filipinos— } ;m}"asra endowed with certain inalienable | ne of these rights {s that of belng | governed by a government deriving Ilg power from' the will of the governed. We declined to be governed except with our consent. We fought one of the greatest | wars In history with Washington at our head because of our bellef in this prin- ciple. We were either right or wrong. We cannot treat the Filipinos as we re- fused to be treated or else we attack the fundamental principles of our existence as a nation. This would, of course, be unconstitutional, and so we are told that the constitution framed in the con- vention of which George Washington was President is a back number. “That constitution, like the Ten Com- mandments, is eternal as eternity itself. When Washington and those other great | men framed the constitution they had | before them the example of the homlny Empire and what led to its downfall, and they were guided thereby. Washington did not contemplate what we have seen | during the past year. He never dreamed that attempts would be made to over-| ride the constitution without even the | | pretense of an amendment. And not a | single sentiment of George Washington | | was not reiterated and held inviolate by | | the great Lincoln. “Uncle Sam needs no British alliance | to secure to him a fair share of the | trade and the profits of the Pacific. He needs no ‘“open door,” which is but the | British_invitation to the American fly to | enter John Bull's parlor. I would like | to hear from some of our budding states- | men of one scintilla of justification in the constitution for the acquisition of such territory—the Philippines, with mil- lions of a mongrel horde. Should we an- nex the Philippines nothing can prevent any or all of these Filipinos from coming | to any other part of the United States. Capitalists, hunting cheap labor, might a way, but the constitution can never do it. We have no provision that would enable us to establish colonial govern- ments or to annex Asiatic territory and Asiatic hordes.” MIDWEEK MENTION OF PLAYS AND MUSIC | “The Sign of the Cross” continues the principal topic of discussion among the play-goers, and the Columbia Theater will prosper serenely as long as the discussion lasts. From both scenic and histrionic points of view the production is admira- ble, but the play itself is nothing better than a sensational caricature of Chris- tlanity and decency. It will run the rest of this and all of next week. About the most satisfactory entertain- ment in the town Is offered in the Tivoll, where a good stock company is glving a ood pericrmance of ‘Madeleine, or the agic Kiss,” a recent comic opera of | more than usual merit. | The revival of “The Girl I Left Behind Me” is making out a lively week at the Alcazar.

The last symphony concert of the sea- son will be given in the Orpheum this aft- ernoon, when Dvorak’s symphony, “The New World,” will form the chief item of the programme. In consequence of un- expected delay In transit, coples of Tscha- ikowsky's ‘‘Pathetique Symphony " which | was announced for this concert, falled to arrive in time for rehearsal, and a_change of ‘rroxrlmme became necéssary. The sec- ond half of tI he concert will be devoted to the works of Wagner, including the pre- lude to_the third act of “The Meistersing- er’; Siegfried’s funeral maréeh,. from “Gotterdammerung,” and the overture to “Tannhauser.” After almost a week of darkness the Comedy Theater will be reope; ed Satur- day night by John L.

After consultation the committee sub- mitted a declaration of principles; the platform adopted at the Chicago conven- fully in- dorsed; the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and its ownership. by the United States was recommended; thanks were extended to the army an navy for their distinguished services and their signal victories on land and sea. The resolution further recommended the public ownership of public utilities; the election of United States Senator by di- rect vote of the people; a policy of peace with all nations, while scrupulously maintaining_the rights of our own Gov- fmtmlelm' The resolutions were adopted n full. A special committee, consisting of J. Meade, Thomas Walsh, Max Popper, J. R. Avis, A. J. McMahon, J. H. Zeman- sky. Joseph Gorman, ."Cannon, John Kavanagh and E.

The chair was empowered to appoint a celebration com- mittee of fifteen, which will assume charge of the entire matter. ‘he mem- bers will be appointed later and will con- fer with a similar commitiee already chosen by the Iroquois Club of this city. Grand Sachem John C. Ruddock of Ukiah in his report explained- the plan which was udo})ted last year to extend the league and which provides for the forma- tion of an Iroquois lodge .in each of the elghty Assembly districts of the State. Every club, when organized, is to send five representatives to the annual State conference. According to Grand Sachem Ruddock the work is progressing well, but i{s wery far from completion. Grand Treasurer Louls Metzger's report showed receipts of $157 30; disbursements, $99 25, leaving a_balance of $88 05. On motion of Max Popper a new office to be known as State organizer was cre- ated, article IV of the constitution being amended to that effect.
