: <;^eefmen Claim That the
Police Are Showing
Favoritism.
WILL APPEAL TO THE MAYOR.
Rev. J. K. McLean Resigns From the
First Congregational
Church.
A number of cyclists who are also mem
bers of the Oakland Y. M. C. A. are pre
paring a protest to Mayor Davie regarding
the manner ii. which the bicycle ordinance
is enforced by the Chief of Police, or some
of those who act directly under his or
ders.
They claim that favoritism is being
shown by the officers, and that men who
) ;.ivf been arrested for failing to carry lan
terns have been released and their bail
money returned on orders from the City
Hull, while others who were apprehended
about the same time and for the same
offense were compelled to appear in the
Police Court *nd pay their fines.
J. M. Ca'quhoun, Charles D. Gooch,
W, E. Rode »nd J. H. Makens, all mem
bers of the Y. M. C. A., were returning
from San Jose on Sunday evening when
\ they were taken into custody by an officer
. on a charge of violating the bicycle ordi
nance in not -carry iic lante rns. They had
Girted from San Jose at an hour which
"Would have, under ordinary circumstances,
brought them to Oakland in daylight, but
the bad roads had so delayed them that it
was 9 o'clock before they reached East
Oakland.
They explained these circumstances to
the otficer, but he toM them that his orders
■were strict to arrest all cyclists riding with
out lant< nis after dark and sent them to
the station.
He bad scarcely resumed his beat when
C. C. Gilbert came along from San Jose
without a lantern and was taken into cus
tody. The officer took his bail, $5, and
permitted "him to go, at the same time
telephoning the fact of the arrest with the
n rt tue of the prisoner to headquarters at the
City Hall.
He was instructed to release Gilbert and
reiurn his bail. Gilbert had gone to catch
a car to ride home and avoid further
trouble, but was overtaken by the police
man and hauded his $5, at the same time
told that he need not show up in the
Police Court.
The four men previously arrested were
toid by Gilbert of his lenient treatment
and they fully expected to be discharged
when their cases were called in the Police
Court this morning, but were disappointed
when tiie Judge imposed a fine in spite of
explanations. They feel very indig
nant at their treatment, and will ask the
Mayor to instruct the Chief of Police to
I his men to treat all cyclists alike. One
of the arrested men, who asked that his
oame be withheld from publication, said
(,-rerday :
"It seems strange to me that Gilbert
should have been released after he had put
up his bail, when four of us who had just
as good an excuse were compelled to ap
pear in the Police Court and pay a fine.
•1 don't know whether he nas friends at
headquarters or not, but we propose* to
- find out whether the police are going to
, play favorites. Gilbert intimated that the
orders to release him came from the Chief,
though it might have been the night
prison-keeper who gave them."
Chief Schaffer denied yesterday that any
one had been released on his orders.
; "Itesfyned Hi« Falpit."
Rev. Jo:.n K. McLean, who for nearly
twenty-four years past has occupied the
pulpit of the First Congregational Church,
has decided to resign his pa-torate to
devote all of his time and energies to
building up the Pacific Theological Semi
nary, of which he is tne president.
When tendered the highest position in
the seminary about a year ago Dr. Mc-
Lean listened to the entreaties of his con
gregation to remain as the head of the
church until he had completed twenty
five years in that position, but recently the
work of both institutions has so told on
him that he was compelled to resign from
one or tbe other. Believing that his labors
would be of greater advantage to the semi
nary, and that the church could get an
pastor, he decided to give his remain
in? years to the institution of learning,
and will preach his last serruon on Septem
ber 1.
Will Assess the Locals.
After a careful perusal of the laws bear
a the duties and powe*a of his office
?sor Dalton has come to the con
n that he hos the right to :.
cal steam railroads of Alameda
ty and will, during the next week.
■ '■rwliat valuation 'he will place on
"Iteeemsto me," said Mr. Dalton yes
. "that $100,000 would be a fair valua
tion of the franchises, roadbed and rolling
stock of the Seventh-street local line. The
narrow and broad gauge lines running to
Alameda and the line to Berkeley are also
valuable.
"I suppose a fight will be made to have
the. matter placed in the hands of the
Board of Equalization, but I have had the
advice of competent attorneys, and I think
the courts will uphold my contention."
Another Relay Race.
After considerable correspondence with
the £an Jose and San Francisio High
Bchool, the Oakland High School have
succeeded in arranging a relay race in
which all three schools will enter teams.
The contest, which will be for fifty miles,
will take place on May 18 over the San
Leandro triangle and will be participated
in by six men from each institution of
learning. No members of the Oakland
team have vet been selected, but a try out
will be held in the near future to deter
mine the competitors.
r Got Her Allowance.
Mrs. Moss>, the young widow of Franklin
. Moss, the aged Fruitvale capitalist who
died some time ago, won her contest for an
allowance from the estate when the matter
came up before Judge Prick yesterday.
Bhe asked for $250 per month, and her pe
tition was opposed by the children of the
deceased by a former wife.
The court allowed her $175 per month.
The estate is valued at $75,000, half of
which goes to the widow.
Inspecting the Factories.
Deputy Labor Commissioners Roberts
and Green, recently appointed by Commis
sioner Fitzgerald, have commenced an in
spection of the factories and stores where
women are employed to see that proper
seats and other accommodations are pro
vided, as required by law. They will also
sec whether all the children employed by
Oakland manufacturers are of tue proper
age.
Struck by the Train.
Harry Cull, a painter, narrowly escapad
dea,th at Oak-street station on the broad
gauge yesterday morning. He attempted
to ( ross in front of the eastbound local,
but was struck by the engine arid thrown
some distance, sustaining a severe scalp
-.wound but fortunately escaping further
injuries. He was taken to the Receiving
Hospital.
BERKELEY.
A bulletin was posted yesterday morn
ing by Captain Koch giving the lift of
• men whom the executive committee of the
■Athletic Association have chosen to repre-
V •^■nt.th" university on the track athletic
;.:.(ea"in which will leave for the East next
wvek. Up till yesterday ihe matter of who
should be placed on the toam was an un
certainty, but ten men hare finally been
decided upon, with a possibility of adding
two more to the list, should it be found
that finances will permit.
Following is a list of the successful men
and the events they will enter: T. L.
Barnes, the short sprints; E. J. Dyer and
Harry B. Torrey, the hurdle races; C.
Woolsey, the running broad jump; L.
Merwin, the mile and two-mile walks; P.
W. Kdgren, the weight-throwing contests;
Captain Fred W. Koch, the half-mile run,
the shot put and the running high jump;
Melville Dozier, the broad jump and
bicycle races; William C. Patterson, the
high jumps and quarter-mile runs; Phil
Bradley, the half and quarter mile runs.
The team lacks a pole-vaulter and mile
runner in order to be complete in all the
track events. *
Two men may yet show up well enough
in the events to justify being placed on the
team. All the men are training hard and
it is expected that they will be in the best
of condition by May 2, the date set for hav
ing. Manager North expects to leave for
the East on Thursday to complete arrange
ments for the oncoming team.
A Residence Burned.
The fine two-story residence of Dr. Van
Meter, at the corner of Ashby and Shat
tuck avenues, was burned to the ground
early yesterday morning. Mrs. Van Meter
and' Mrs. Kroner, who were sleeping in
U.e house at the time of the tire, barely es
caped with their lives. It would have
been an easy matter to save the house and
its contents from destruction had a good
water supply been at hand.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
house alone was insured for $3000, besides
a large amount on the furniture.
Notes.
The U. C. Glee Club will give a concert
this afternoon in the assembly-room of the
university for the benefit of the track team
which will go East.
Dr. George D. Herron of lowa University
will lecture to the Berkeley students this
afternoon at 5 o'clock in Stiles Hall.
ALAMEDA.
Alameda County's constables will be ex
pected to put up $5000 to contest the new
fee bill. An Alameda County officer has
been chosen to open the battle by refusing
to turn over the fees as provided by the
law. Arthur Peodgers, a San Francisco
attorney, has consented to join with ex-
Supreme Justice of the Supreme Court
Van R. Paterson in the proposed test pro
ceedings.
Death From Consumption.
G. A. Anderson died Sunday afternoon
from pulmonary hemorrhage at the resi
dence of his parents on Sherman street.
Deceased was a member of Alameda Par
lor, N. S. G. \\\, and was 22 years of age.
He had been a sufferer for some months.
A few years ago he went with companions
on a camping trip to the Yoseniite. Their
blankets were stolen and Anderson slept in
the open air without any covering, con
tracting a disease which settled on his
lungs and caused his death.
Refuges to Dismiiss.
Annie Francis, who ran away from her
home last Friday morning with a young
man named Col well, was arraigned before
Justice Morris yesterday on a charge of
vagrancy sworn to by her father. It is
suited that the reason* why the girl left
home is that she was not treated very well
and the father is willing to drop the mat
ter. The Justice will not be trifled with
and will not dismiss the case unless his
fees are paid. Trial was continued until
next Saturday afternoon.
Native Daughter* to Parade.
Grand Marshal T. P. Robinson has made
the necessary arrangements for the mem
bers of Alameda Parlor of Native Daugh
ters to take part in the parade to-day in
Oakland. It will be the oo!y parlor of Na
tive Daughters in the parade. The mem
bers will ride in a rlorat float ahead of the
Native Sons and will furnish each of the
delegates with a boutonniere.
Public Highway Deeded.
Mrs. Emilie Q. Cohen lias deeded to
the city as a public highway a tract of
iand seventy feet wide from Versailles ave
nue easterly to the line dividing her lands
from those owned by Pedar bather for the
sum of $1624. The "deea is subject to the
right of way granted for the electric raii
road.
The AlAmerians Won.
Ten men of the military company de
feated a like number from the university
battalion in the rifle match Sunday by a
score of 393 to 381. Private Cleveland, one
of the crack shots of the company, was ab
sent, and bis substitute, Ross, surprised
himself and all others by making the high
est score in the team — 4l points.
PECULIAR PREDICAMENT
An Operatic Singer Who Is a
Martyr to Jealousy and
Hate.
C. B. Fulton, Alias Whitney, Arrested
on Four Charges of Grand
Larceny.
C. B. Fulton, alias Frank Whitney, an
operatic ginger, wants it understood that
he is the victim of one woman's jealousy
and of another woman's hate.
He was arrested a few days ago on four j
charges of grand larceny, the complaining i
witness being Mrs. A. 8. Berger, 7 Lilac!
avenue. He roomed in the house of Mrs.
Berger and was on very intimate terms
with the family, so much so that Berger
commenced a suit for divorce against his
wife, which was afterward withdrawn.
Fulton, since 188H, has known Mrs.
Laura de Hull, who has a breach of prom
ise suit pending in the Fresno courts
against Lucius Edgerly, a raisin-grower, in
which she claims $50,000 damages. Fulton
alleges that Mrs. de Hull is at the bottom
of his troubles.
When the cases against him were called
in Judge Low's court yesterday hi- ;•<
--counted a portion of Mrs. de Hull's past
history. He said she was connected with
the famous Crouch murder case in Michi
gan, and that she had been the keeper of
houses of ill fame in Detroit, Mich., and in
Indianapolis, Ind.
For some years he lost trace of her till
on last Thanksgiving day while he was
walking along Market street with Mrs.
Berger he met her face to face. She spoke
to him, and he introduced her to Mrs.
Berger. Since then she has been poison
ing Mrs. Berger's mind against him, which
had led to his arrest.
Knowing Mrs. de Hull's past history,
Edgerly had offered him $1000 to testify in
his favor in the breach-of-promise suit,
and Mrs. de Hull having ascertained that
fact had offered him $250 cash down to go
to New York, and $750 more after she pro
cured a verdict in her favor.
He blamed Mrs. de Hull for instigating
the Bergers to have him arrested and for
keeping them from withdrawing the
charges.
After hearing the evidence the Judge re
duced the charges to petty larceny. Ful
ton was then advised that if he would
plead guilty to one charge the other three
would be withdrawn. He did so, but there
was no disposition shown to withdraw the
other three charges. The Judge did not
like the aspect of the case and continued
the further hearing till to-day.
An Accidental Death.
An inquest was held yesterday on the remains
of James Madman, a three-year-old boy who
was killed by an electric car at Seventh and
Mission. The verdict was that the death was
accidental. The motorman wns exonerated,
but a suggestion wan made to the effect that
the company should use more effective fenders.
The action of the San Francisco Board
of Health is an unusual tribute to be paid
even to an article of so high a character as
the Royal Baking Powder. They say, in
their judgment, "it is impossible to make
a purer or stronger baking powder than
the Royal."
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1595.
HERRON AND SOCIALISM
The Professor Explains His
Views to Presbyterian
Ministers.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A SEER.
Dr. Dills Makes Some Plain State
ments About Closed
Churches.
Professor Herron addressed the Presby
terian ministers yesterday morning on
"Social Regeneration." Pale anct ascetic
looking, the lecturer gave his remarks with
such intense earnestness and conviction
that those of his hearers who found some
thing visionary in his beliefs applauded
the speaker, and those among the audience
who belong to Professor Herron's follow
ing grew more enthusiastic than ever over
his interpretation of applied Christianity.
"The significant fact of this time is that
what I should call society is under a pro
found conviction of sin. Society is asking
what it can do to be saved; what it can do
to save itself from the social ruin that
threatens. The air is full of social solvents
and all of them, even the wildest theories
advanced, are portents of the times. We
are asking for the man who shall offer us
a complete social programme, but in the
meantime we propose to wait, though I do
not thinJC God does, till the path is marked
out for us."
The lecturer then said that in his belief
no man would be likely to arise and mark
out for society a new social system by
which the present social evils might be
suddenly swept away.
The new social temple will not be built
by political hammer and saw. What we
must have is a political revival of relig
ion. This is the day when social science is
a most alluring study, and yet salvation
will not come through a science of society.
About all that sociology is having to do
with advancement is to give undue prom
inence to minor incidents.
Professor Herron then drew attention to
the secular tendencies of the age, remark
ing that it was a strange thing that an
atheistic condition of things should receive
the support of a supreme religious conserv
atism, and that on the other hand every
effort to put Christ into the lead should be
ignored by religious conservatives.
Speaking of sociology, the study of so
ciety as a whole. Professor Herron said it
was" really remarkable that "the more un
solvable we make the problem, the more
scientific we seem to think we are becom
ing." The old alchemists scarcely tried to
hedge their knowledge round with more
mystery than do the modern sociologists.
Then he urged the study and practice of
sociology from a Christian standpoint:
"If the ultimate social movement falls in
to the hands of the anarchists or the dem
agogue, it is the fault of us Christians who
have not been willing to give Christ his
place in the social movement. It is simply
ignorance to say that the teachings of
Jesus are unsuitable to a system of society
which he came to teach only. His teach
ings were not in the air, but on the earth."
The lecturer then spoke of religious
movements, declaring it to be his convic
tion that history never repeats itself. The
great reformers and prophets of the past
had done their work: mankind in the
present age must not sigh for their return,
for they would not come. "God wants
no more Elijahs nor Jeremiahs, but men,
human men, without prejudice, without
even what Carlisle would cuil 'righteous
eccentricities.' "
Speaking of political reforms, Professor
Herron stated that he was himself an ad
vocate of the reform called socialistic, and
!u stated a few of the doctrines of that
body, such as that Government, if it must
bestow monopolies, should charge for
I them and make itself self-supporting.
"1 do not call these things socialism,"
i he said; ''they are according to the teach
| ing of our religion, and the time has gone
by when we can profesa Christianity and
drawback when the time comes for put
ting them into practice."
A Her expressing the opinion that modern
civilization was little more Christian in
spirit than the civilized heathendoms of
antiquity he added : "But the time is going
by when we can profess Jesus in our
churches and then go out into the world
and be covetous and greedy. Friends, Ido
not believe that i he dcvii knows better how
to rule the world than God Almighty. I
do not believe that the law of competition
is better than the law of Christ. We are
putting Christ to shame by our religious
dilettantism. The question is whether the
teachings of Jesus were mere mystical, im-
B''ticab!e teachings or whether he was
teal and meant what he said. The time
come to answer this.
When we estimate things at all we esti
mate them by their dollars' worth, and not
rheir Christ-worth. The churches have
run footraces Dp the fashionable avenues
to get whore the money was. This spirit
of ours is responsible for the slttm a. When
I get a little more money, a littie more
Cture than the others, shall I go off into
ter surroundings, instead of trying to
se those around me?
This country has toiled for wealth. We
have got it, and yet it is not exaggerated
to .iay that one-half the population of the
United States i* anxious where bread is to
come from. You have no idea how legis
lation is bought and sold by this wealth.
It is an awful crime for you and me to hear
Christ's name and yet to be silent before
these wrongs for the sake of peace in our
churches, or anywhere else."
Dr. Herron's remarks were not discussed
by the body of ministers present, but a
R'ng vote of thanks was passed,
he Congregational Club was addressed
terday afternoon by Dr. McLean of
.-land" on "The Province of the Seer."
Although Professor Herron's name was not
mentioned by the doctor it was an under
stood thing among the hearers that the
paper was in a sense a justification of the
professor of applied Christianity.
Dr. McLean drew attention to the state
ment in Proverbs that "when there is no
vision the people perish," and he added
that half the people had better die off than
let the whole die, if the American nation
only happened to possess one seer. "The
Beer is God's appointment for any age or
nation. Where there is no vision the peo
ple cast off restraint, as they are doing to
day. It seems to me we ought to reflect
before we cast stones at any one wiio is a
half-accredited seer."
Dr. McLean described a seer as a mix
ture of poet and student, one who having
eyes could use them to see more than most
men, and he urged his hearers to remem
ber that the seer's ways were ways of (juiet.
In the discussion which followed most of
the hearers were heartily in accord with
the paper. Rev. E. Willft thought, how
ever, that people should be careful to dis
tinguish between fake and true seers. Dr.
Brown seemed also to doubt a seer being
in their midst, and Chaplain Kowell said
some 80-callea seers were not much better
endowed mentally than "Lewis the
Light."
ilev. H. H. llominger tried to express
his admiration of Professor Herron, whom
he classed with John Burns, the English
labor agitator, am! Professor Ealy, but his
remarks were declared out of order.
Dr. Dille spoke before the Methodists
yesterday on "The Ideal Modern Church.'
He began his address by drawing attention
to the enormous growth of modern cities,
and to the fact that modern populations
are becoming more and more centered in
cities.
"The great problems of tne present and
future," he said, "then, are city problems.
The city holds the casting-ballot of civili
zation. The party and the church that
holds the key to the city has the country
and the future at its command. Now I
undertake to sny that Protestantism is not
.«■'■>] vine the problem of ourcitiea. In New
York and San Francisco to-day there are
fewer church members and churches in
proportion to the population than there
were thirty years ago.
I The speaker went on to say that Metho
dism was not being fairly tried in the
cities, and he went on to suggest some
characteristics of an ideal city church ; it
should reach the people, both the regular
church-goer and those who have lapsed.
"The church must adapt itself to the non
church-goer. That church will be at
tractive—that is, a ministering church. It
should allow no philanthropbic or fra
ternal or charitable institution to point to
its closed doors and folded hands and say :
'We are doing more than you to relieve
the sick, to aid the widow and the father
less."
The modern church with its rented pews
and its doors closed six days in the week is
not like the primitive church which was
organized for the daily ministration ; nor
the church of prophecy, of which it is said
"its gates shall not be shut day nor
night.' J The ideal church will keep close
to the people; it will be a strong church;
let the'stream of weary sin-burdened hu
manity have a chance to flow through it
all week.
The speaker concluded by urging that
churches be made great musical and' liter
ary circles, making all the light of modern
thought and secular science gather round
the cross of Christ.
THE OCEANIC LINER COPTIC
She Visited This Port Eight
Years Ago as a Pacific
Mail Boat.
Will Take the Place of the Oce
anic, Now Refitting In
England.
To-day at 3 o'clock p. m. the Oceanic
steamship Coptic, Captain Lindsay, sails
for China and Japan via Honolulu. About
eight years ago she visited this port as a
THE OCEANIC LINER COPTIC, WHICH SAILS TO-DAY.
\iSketched by a "Call" artist.]
Pacific Mail steamer, since which time she
has been running on the Atlantic as a
White Star boat.
The Coptic is a steel four-masted bark
rigged Hteamer, and is of 4443 tons burden,
ana was built in 18*1 at the shipyard of
Harland A Wolf, Belfast, Ireland. Her
length is4W.2 feet, breadth 42.2 and depth
24.2 feet.
She has been refitted throughout to take
the place of the Oceanic, which has re
turned to England to be overhauled.
Like all English vessels of her class she
i 3 roomy in her passenger accommodations
and splendidly furnished through and
through with rich and modern conve
niences.
POLICE COURT CLERKS,
They Will Obey the Ordinance Regard
ing the Hours for Accepting
Bonds.
The Board of Supervisors on May 31,
1891, adopted order 3829, which reads as
follows:
The clerks of the police courts shall be in at
tendance in their respective courtrooms or
offices attached thereto from 5 a. m. until 4
p. m. every day in the week, Sundays, and holi- !
days excepted, to perform the dutnl imposed
and as required by law. The clerk* of the
police courts shall also alternate so that one
clerk in turn shall be in attendance at the
courtroom or office attached thereto every
evening in the week from 7:.'H) to 10 o'clock,
and on Sundays and holidays from 10 a. m. to
2 P. M. for the purpose of taking bail bonds
where the sufficiency and qualification, of the \
sureties are examined iDto and approved.
The clerks of the police courts shall not ac- i
cept sureties on bail bonds except within the |
places and within the time prescribed by this j
section.
Since the order was passed it has been j
honored more in the broach than in the
observance. Complaints were loudly made
on several occasions by attorneys and de
fendants that it was impossible for them i
to get any one to accept bonds without '
considerable unnecessary inconvenience,
and the clerks being stirred up by these i
complaints obeyed the ordinance for a few ;
weeks and then utterly ignored it.
Clerk Sullivan of Judge Low's court only \
learned on Sunday that such an ordinance !
was in force, and yesterday he notified the j
other clerks that he would at once carry;
out its provisions. He fM on duty at the !
City Prison last night. The other clerks
have agreed to take their turn.
A Good California Book.
"California; Her Industrie!', Attractions and
Builders" is the title of a work jum published
by J. C, Hoag. He is an experienced writer
aiid has been in close touch with the promi
nent men and industries of California for sev
eral years as a contributor to the Pacific Rural
Press and publisher of the State Fair Dally and
Mechanics' Fair JMtlv. This new publication
gives a forceful idea of the State ih nil
that its title implic:* and in many respects has
more merit than other publications of more
pretentions.
The present number is the best yet issued,
and if given fair distribution in the East will
be a good factor in increasing the population
and Knowing the Golden State as it now is and
what her future will be.
The Royal Baking Powder maintains its
vigorous hold on the public, and is active

good work for honest and unadulterated
food products.
POLITICS IN THE HOME
An Idea Approved bythe Young
Women's Suffrage
Club.
THE TIHES ARE CHANGED.
Mrs. Gordon Prophesies the Adop
tion of the Suffrage
Amendment.
"Home and Politics" was the theme that
occupied the attention of the Young
Women's Suffrage Club at their meeting
at 909 Market street last night. Mrs. M. L.
Chandler of Alameda and Mrs. Laura de
Force Gordon were the main speakers.
Many others volunteered.
The hall was well filled, the proportion
of men present being surprisingly large.
A feature of the evening was the introduc
tion of a "suffrage" hat, of white straw,
with a broad orange band. It made n
striking contrast to some of the feather
burdened headgear worn by ladies not
members of the club.
Mrs. Chandler was the first speaker. She
explained that she was making her maiden
effort as an orator, and then told modestly
why she thought politics and home should
be closely related.
Her chief reason was that women should
understand politics in order to train their
children properly. Children would grow
up to be more patriotic men and women,
the speaker declared, if their mothers,
being well versed in the affairs of the
country, were able to teach them how to
nobly perform the duties of the citizen.
Mrs. Gordon referred feelingly to her ex-
periences with Miss Susan B. Anthony at
the National Democratic and Republican
conventions of 1870, when woman's rights
were just beginning to form a factor in
politics.
"Times have changed" since then," said
she. "It does not now require the same
courage to -say that you believe in the
suffrage for women. Then it was as much
as a young girl's reputation was worth to
make that declaration. Now, when I look
around at these intelligent, handsome
young women," and the speaker indicated
the members of the club by a sweep of her
hand. "I realize that when we of the past
generation lay aside our work it will be
taken up by strong and noble successors,
well fitted to bring it to a successful issue."
Mrs. Gordon declared that she was con
vinced that the great mass of men believed
in allowing women to vote.
Mrs. Gordon then made an eloquent ex
position of the doctrine of the suffragists.
She was followed by Emily Pitt-Stevens,
Mrs. Gregory and other ladies. A number
of gentlemen also addressed the audience.
An appeal was made for volunteers will
ing to devote time to the sale of tickets for
a benefit for Mrs. Gordon to be given at
the same hall Monday evening, May 5.
The request was received with enthusiastic
applause, and a large number of ladies and
gentlemen came forward to get tickets.
The speeches of the evening were pre
ceded by an interesting programme. It
was as follows: Piano solo, Mrs. Cook;
recitation, Miss Margurite Saxton; recita
tion, Miss Lucille Meiggs; soprano solo,
Mrs. Bessie R. Dibble.
COTTAGES ON THE WATEH.
A Novel Scheme to Kent Summer Homes
for Outings.
A company has been organized in New
York to "build, rent and operate house
boats," says Kate Field's Washington. "I
foresee for this enterprising concern a very
large revenue, as the peoi>le who have
hitherto rented summer cottages will
hail with joy a scheme that promises
freedom from several of the worst
features of the cottage system, while
the landlords —if the owners of the
boats can be so called — will en
joy, on their part, exemption from
a few of the ordinary summer
tenant's most annoying "complaints.
If the location seems "malarious, or the
neighbors are too noisy, it is left witli the
tenant himself to hire a tugboat and be
moved. No houseboater could be so un
reasonable as to insist tipon water through
the house when there is water all around
it, and the vexed Question of the croper
condition of the cellar would be settled by
the absence of that bone of contention. On
the part of the occupants there will be still
greater advantages. Unwelcome guests
can be avoided by the simple expediment
of anchoring a fittle further from shore.
The head of the house can be sure thnt the
family are all in by securing the small boat
with a padlock, and ennui can always be
kept at bay by the prospect of moving or
the thought of a few of the accidents which
might happen."
The true test of a baking powder is well
known to every housekeeper. It is to try
it in making bread, cake, et;., and we are
of the opinion that it will be impossible to
remove from the minds of our housewives
the conviction long ago formed from tho
application of this practical test, that the
Royal does make the best, the moat, and
the most wholesome.
