Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Feb. 2. The Woman's Exchange of Oakland moved to-day from its former place of business on Broadway fo.a very bright | and pretty location on Franklin and Thir- teenth. streets, The cause of the change was the cramped quarters just vacatel. The neéw headquarters of -the exchange |1s a block from where it was formerly. | In every way this charity is prospering | just now. Mrs. Phebe Hearst has lately | remembered it with a cash gift and others have made contributions of flowers and similar necessaries for a dainty lunch- | room. .- Among the most generous gifts, too, have been those of time and trouble. | Half a dozen ladies have been actively | engaged for the past three days In re: | placing the art work at the new establish- | ment and superintending other changes, | and to-night the effect was such as to amply repay their toil. | The large corner room, that combines | sales counters and tea room, has glass | windows on two entire sides. giving an | abundance of sunlight. White half-cur- | talns of dainty muslin and others of green | screen the guests from the street, but do not obscure the View from within. Potted | palms are arranged along the windows, | and the tete-a-tete tables are bright with | violets. Two counters occupy the back of | the room, with @ wall of shelf behind. One | window at the rear Is given over to leath- | er work, and there are china showcases here and there full of dainty ware. The cooking is done downstairs now, and a dumbwaiter brings up the steaming soups, etc. A large room is fitted up for second is the pantry. loud visitors praises, of the removal exchange is doing a splendid but unosten- fatlous work in this eity, not a few poor women with dependent families being abl. 1 cles ' of diet, to enjoy a steady income.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 2.—Bertram Bell, a lad of 16, went hunting in a boat on the | estuary yesterday. He left his gun cocked and forgot about it.

Imbued with the success attending the extension of the Twenty-fourth street trolley line to Rhode Island street, the uevo Potrero Improvement Club, through its attorney, C. F. Kimball, will seek further extension for the benefit of the hundreds of laboring men who are employed in the Unlon Iron Works, sugar refinery and other branches of 1nduttr§ on the south shcre of the bay. The clu will petition for a cross line direct over the Potrero hills on the line of Twenty- fourth street to Kentucky. As it now s they have to go the roundabout way of Bryant street to Sixteenth and then around the sloping hillside to Kentucky street. In addition to this a further ac- commodation will be asked on the Twen- ty-fourth street line to Mission street in stead of the present way into the business portion of the city by Folsom street, where transfers must be had to either Eighth or Fourth streets. STATUS OF GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTS TO BE FIXED NICE POINT OF LAW IN THE MORAN CASE. Judge de Haven Will Decide This Important Questic~ of Juris- diction Next Tuesday. Daniel Moran, alias James Pollard, the coal passer on the United States trans- port Thomas, was discharged on habeas corpus yesterday by United States Dis trict Judge de Haven, and his attorney went at once before the Federal Grand Jury for the purpose of having Captain John Schiller and William Holmes, mas- ter-at-arms of the Government transport Thomas, indicted for cruelty on the high seas. By request of the Grand Jury Assistant United States Attorney Woodworth drew up the following questions which were presented to Judge de Haven this after- Firat—Have we the power to find an Indict- ment against one who s a captain or an offi- cer of the transport service of the Government for offenses alleged to have been committed on the high seas upon & coalpasser, to-wit., in- fliction of cruel and unusual punishment and assault ‘with a dangerous weapon while the transport was proceeding under special orders to the Philippine Islands with a regiment of soldiers, it appearing that the transport Is Swned by the Lnited States: that the captain, officers and crew are hired and paid by the United States and are directly under its orders, or is the subject one which should properly be Pried before @ courtmartial?

City Engineer Clement says at least a hundred and ten wells would be needed at Roberts Landing to supply. water for the ¢ity of Oakland. This estimate is based upon a reguirement of 11,000,000 gal- lons of water every twenty-four hours, and an average daily production from each well of 100,000 gallons. In the recent unsatisfactory test made it was ascertained that one well-had a ca- pacity of 163,000 gallons per day, while another spouted 103,628 gallons. This ‘was done under an insufficient pressure and other adverse circumstances. To bore new wells to determine abso- lutely the depth of the water stratum and the geological formation of the lands would cost about §1000 each. Whether such a large number of wells contiguous to each other would affect the flow in the aggregate s a question which the City E;lg!neer does not undertake to deter- mine. The two wells from which the most water was produced at the recent test were down to a deg!h of 506 and 300 feet respectively, and they pierce the same sand stratum. The report was submitted to the Board of Public Works, and will be sent to the Councfl next Monday night. DEATH OF AN AGED PIONEER PREACHER OAKLAND, Feb. 2—Rev. T. S. Burnett, | one of the ploneer preachers of Califor- nia, died yesterday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Christabel Stewart, at 415 San Pablo avenue. He s 77 years of age. He came to California from Mis- souri on the overland trail in 1849. With | him was his brother, the late Peter H. Burnett, who was the first Governor of California. Their party arrived on the border of California on Christmas day, 1849, and crossed into this State on January 1850. After engaging in mining and v ri: ous other enterprises for a number of years the deceased finally decided to en- ter the Methodist ministry. He did so thirty-seven years ago znd was actively | engaged in church work in various parts | | of California and Oregon for a gquarter of a century.

Morse will be sentenced this morn- ng. ) P Not a Decadent Race. “The Decadence of Nations” was the subject of a lecture delivered last night at the Temple Emanu-ElL The speaker took the broad view that as every nation had a beginning it must also have an end. This is proved by the fact that the na- tions of antiquity have all passed away and the nations of to-day are all of com- paratively modern origin, particularly the eatest two, the Anglo-Saxon and the ‘eutonic. All of the old nations decaved, sald the speaker, because of the corrup- tion of their political institutiéns. He con- tended that there is grave danger of the great npations of to- I.)' ll-llh?‘ln(o the same degrading conditions. udged by these standards, the American nation is not as yet a decadent nation, although the modern tendency to crowd into the cities and to overstrain the sustaining power of the soil in the small spaces under cultiva- tion is having a very degrading effect.
