Mr. Mott called at my offi twice the following Monday, but unfortunately I was out on. both occasions. From that time until yesterday (Friday) morning I did not see him, except that we passed each other in the Palace Hotel lobby Tuesday at noon. Yesterday morning Mr. Mott called at my office and resumed the conversation of the preceding Saturday. He had no objections to signing the call, and did so.

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.—Following the cus- tom pursued during the last eight years the Salvation Army is going to treat the poor of the city to a good turkey dinner on Christmas day. The distribution of dinners this year, however, will be dif- ferent than in former years, for instead of Laving its guests sit down to one big table, dinners will be given to the guests in baskets, containing all the nice things that go to make a Christmas dinner. In this way it is proposed to fill the mouths of 150 families. Besides this great feast it is part of the army’s plan to supply the children of these indigent families with presents from two mammoth Christmas trees than will shed their gifts at the new Salvation Temple, which will be ready for occupation by Christmas. Of course, this plan cannot be carried out without money, of which a whole lot will be needed. In order to get it the army depends upon its friends, to whom it is appealing in letters and through Lhe press. All donations of money, no mat- ter how large or small, will be recelved with a great measure of thanks. The local corps, under Captain Ernest L. Hawks, is collecting money by the per- sonal solicitation of its authorized agents, but voluntary subscriptions will not be turned away. A royal reception awaits General Wil- liam Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, when he comes to Oak- land on December 28 for a brief visit. The army people will come from all di- rections and the streets will resound with the hallelujahs. General Booth will speak in the Macdonough Theater in the afternoon and evening. —————— Returns With His Bride. OAKLAND, Dec. 13.—Joseph M.
