' . 7 He Gets Up a Kace Meeting, Drives His Own - " -.Horses and Defeats all Comers— An ;' * Interview With tha Parson. :;.:. Considerable interest was taken by local 1 ;■ horsemen in a trotting meeting held last .Saturday sit Saranac, Mien., in which Par son J" W. Amy, of the Methodist Church • there, was the prime mover.. ■ ... ".Tie. announced two weeks ago from the ; ; ."jiiilp-tt that he had arranged the meeting . and that lie bad made entries to the differ .'. i nt events of his own horses, and that he . . .intended to get into the sulky and drive bis .'"horses himself. His congregation was eon 7. siderably excited over his statement, but _ esteeming , him very highly, backed him -- heartily in his undertaking. "■". -:The races came off all right over a half mile track, and were all best two In three. • Tbe attendance from al! over the State was : ■■- something 1 enormous. The telegraphic im port of the racing is as follows: 'X^____\ RELIGION is A sii.ivY. ' 7-7 The first was a half mile race, each. owner -driving bis own Horse. The contestants . /started well together, bat Parson Amy's •7/ Amy quickly showed the religious training if she had enjoyed and forged forward fain * ously, coming under the wire In 1:2074. . Parson Amy was erected' with hearty ap plause and his little nag was showered with bouquets and good words. in the second he. it Amy again came off more than conqueror, making the half mile in ls'ji. Shout after shout followed this an.l the' good pars raised aloft his hands .as though deprecating the noise or about to dismiss ins congregation. However, he thought better of it and the second race was called. It was a contest. between three-year-olds and was partici pated in by Amy's Hoggs and two other entries. Again the parson's excellent work - showed itself, Bogie taking the heat in ls-tn. The second heat and race was won easily by 11 >giv in 1:44. '• Parson Amy's colt won the third race, it being a walkaway. After the races were concluded athletic ■nd field sports were participated in, and a general good lime was had. In an inter view the parson said he had been active in getting the races up, because no one else did, and he enjoyed racing and was sorry it had . beeu so much abused. THE PARSQ3 AT HOME. An Eastern horseman who is visiting the Cvsist told a Call, reporter the other day that a friend of bis had called an Parson Amy early during the present month and had given him the following account of what lie had seen at the parsonage. The visitor's vi lend said: " 1 went out to see Par-' Amy at Saranac and have a talk with him about his horses. The parson's house was pointed put to me, and i quickly inside my way there. •■ A bald-beaded young man with st pleas ant face was rubbing down a bay mare iv the stable. The bald-headed young man . li iked like a hired band. lie wore a bob tailed coat, jean trowsers, and 1 blue shirt. . His bauds were as red as a liveryman's, ana -his face -• .v- tanned to a russet. '■".:■ - - : :-. ■' 1- Mr. Amy about?" I asked. "1 sun Mr. Amy," r- plied the bald beaded vi mag mart, extending his dump hand. "What can'l do for you, brother?" FOB FOT A Nil FOR COIN". . When he was told he flopped the sweat*" towel and laughed. "There is not much to nay about it, brother. lain training iiorse3 for fun, for my Health and for money. Wo preachers here don't make very lunch— sli(X> a year or the matter of that— and 1 first be gan training driving horses to help out my salary. The doctor told me it was ago I tl'dng for mo to do. I was successful at that, ■ml I couldn't see where the hnriu lay in raising trotters. I started my racing stsilrle si year auo, and 1 have had good luck with it. The three I have now are colts. This one here— look at her— isn't she a beauty? I call her Aiinee. She's by Mont gomery, out of a dam by Bob Boy. 1 paid _:*)0 lot her, and I'll bet— no, 1 wont bet— but I believe she can out-trot any three- car- in these parts for money, marbles or glory. I wont trot her for money, though; but let me tell you, brother, this mate here, she went out' for the money at Kalamazoo and got it. That was before I bought her." '.: * ALSO BATES SOUKS. The par?. returned to his rubbing and tsilked while he worked. ' "1 have had extraordinary success in my church work here," he said. "Seventeen * souls saved and brought to God last week amid universal rejoicing. 1 tell you it is a grand thing. Evangelical work seems to . run in the family. .My brother— goodness, ■■ that foot doesn't look too well; I'll have to .have that fixed— is a grand thing. Ev.m --... gelical work seems to run in the family. . My brother has gathered in 1400 souls. He . labors as an Evangelist in this conference. . Look at that neck, will you! Will you be . IfeVa me, brother, 1 trotted this colt iv 2:50 last week, and 1 didn't let out all the links either. Mr. Goodman, who owns the rival three-year-old, races with me frequently. I trot lair with him, always give him the pole, ami let him go ahead ; then, when the finish comes 1 touch un the little one with the bud, and I go by that Goodman colt as though he was tied to a post. Mr. Goodman used to think his colt was better than mine, s hit 1 have brought him to a realization of his' error, and he takes defeat with truly Christian resignation. STAIIKOW-MINDED CItITICISM. " Doesn't your driving excite criticism?" '. * •'Vis, from narrow-minded people, but sensible folks see it as I do. A harmless • diversion; there is not so much objection to ■ it us there is bo my music. 1 play the violin cello and my children play the violin. At .my former charge when the little girl began ...a solo six members arose and left the church. ; '1 hey said it was unchristian. I told them. ". it was not if it was done in the honor of God. They said if it was done in the honor ■of God they would return ten for every one ' that bad left.

I am not going to jump the track for any of these quarter horses. My people like" to see me drive. I make do secret of it. 1 come right out in the daylight and speed the colts. " r Whin Parson Amy had rubbed down . the mare he blanketed' ber and led her into the stall. Then he took his visitor around 1 and showed him another trotter. "This is Kit Powers," he said, "i paid S4oOfor her; aud she has trotted in three minutes. ■ Shu's standard. I've bred her to a standard burse— Michigan Star— at Grand Rapids, and next month I will have her enrolled. She Is not very well now ; she has the pink eye. Whoa, girl! . Best four-year-old around here! Sire, Hamilton, 2:21, dam by George 11. Low, by Hambletoniau, 1:04." i VISITING HIS FLOCK. .The parson stepped into his little parlor, where copies of the. Horseman, the Breed ers' Gazette, the Western Sportsman, and the life of John Wesley lay on the marble top center-table, and produced the pedigree . ' of his horses. Then be returned to the stable .and led out hisstalliou Dodge, a two year-old by Mambriuo Logan,- 2:2), thoroughbred darn. He brushed and carried him, .tacked on a pair of toe-weights, strapped on the boots, deftly hitched him to a light sulky, and shot down the street in his stable cloches and under a ragged straw hat. As he moved through town at a four mm. , ute clip, iiis congregation— and -nearly -all saranac belongs to that— came out and ' bowed to him. The parsou shook his whip in return. A little way down the street be , drew up and spoke to a man who had bowed to- him. .*. v "How are you. Brother Wilson?" , "How do you do, Mr. Amy?" "Why weren't you at meeting last Sab bath.- --"Well, sir, to tell the truth I had the colt • out, speeding her a bit; she was getting Still? '''"Tut.- tut, you must not do that again, brother.

Cluck-cluck there, get along. Dodge," and the parson drove ;■ away to the half-mile track. It wasn't a -.* very-good track, but is the best they have • in Saranac. The parson sat upright in' his seat and held bis reins and whip as artis tically as ever 'John spina did. After - warming up four or five times around be veiled to the spectators to- time him, and laying on the lash he dashed by. The dust rose in clouds, but through it could be seen • the parson's -queer straw hat and the smok ■ lug banks of the stallion, and occasion;!. . could he heard the black whip cutting tha • air. When he drove slowly up to gel the time he was flushed with excitement, lie was told it was about four minutes. '•Thai isn't bad for a youngster," he said, "•considering his age and the track. I guess I'll trot him a few beats at lonia before long." ■The horse-racing parson is an educated man of about 35 years. He has had several Important charges and be has filled them all acceptably. The people of Saranac are in love with him, and there would be some thing like a riot here if the conference should attempt to relieve him. Everybody around there lias some kind of a trotter, and why shouldn't the parsou have one, too? ' . REINCARNATION. Mrs. Sarah A. Harris ou Multi- plied Existence. Mrs. Sarah A. Harris of Aurora Branch of the Theosonhical Society, Oakland, de livered a lecture at Bed Men's Hall, 320 Pest street, last night on tho subject of "Reincarnation,*' which, with the "Law of Karma," form the keystone of tho so-called "Wisdom-religion." Reincartion is considered one of the most obtuse subjects for the Western mind to . unravel, and it is only when it is considered with the "Law of Karma" that it receives sufficient lucidation to entitle it to accept ance as a hypothesis of the scheme of cre ation. The lecture on the "Law of Karma," which is to be delivered next Sunday, is a' Continuation of last night's theme, viewed from the stand point of necessity, karma being the cause and reincarnation the effect of certain laws' working. Mrs. Harris reviewed the subject first flow its historical side, citing countries and religions that had embraced it us an expla nation of their code of morals, and termi nated by saying: "It is stated that at one time reincarnation was the universal be lief, and even now it is held by a vast ma jority of the world's inhabitants." ."We of the Western world regard it as an enigma. We stand aghast at the vast number of questions that come up when thai word, which is a volume, is mentioned, and we pause before drawing aside the cur tain. Wo hesitate to study into this truth of reincarnation and the problems of lite and creation. "To a person accustomed to the orthodox idea of vicarious atonement, the theories of reincarnation and karma sire absurdities. .But let him follow the paths that specula tion may pursue with nature as a guide, and he will issue not only a broader idea of life, but st better idea of God. "We are told that the periods of day and night, of life and death, are corresponding periods of activity and assimilation which extend throughout all natures They ob tain, not only in momentary existence, but eternal life ln the day. in tins seasons, years, Uvea and cycles. Without tha period of rest the period of activity would be im possible, and, vice versa, tho period of ac tivity is the result of tho impulse or mo mentum gained during that of assimi lation. | '"What we are to-day make up the warp and woof of what the soul is to be in the far future. What we are to-day is the cri terion, fur the same reason, of what we have been, The organ is modified by the func tions, and not the functions by the organ. "At the birth of a people on a planet there is an influx of souls variously developed from the silenci of Pralaya, then kind mother nature has them iv hand. All have an equal chance, and there is no justice with the divine were it not so. " I beosophj sees in reincarnation the only explanation for different characteristics in nations and not in individuals. The laws of heredity sue, if true, the greatest sar casm that God's creation can throw against his eternal justice. To be forced Into flesh, to be incarnated in a body predisposed to evil is a travesty on tho mercy of God, if that soul has only the one brief existence to prepare itself for facing the eternal, from which there is no appeal. No, 1 regard the laws of heredity as absolutely misleading, if not false. "A soul answers the call of God through his laws aud reincarnation. Does it go in a base vessel ? Then it was not far enough advanced to demand better conditions for its manifestation. in that way only does the alleged law of heredity exist." DISCOVERED IN TIME. A Large Blase Prevented iv a Tine-Street i: uiiii l*_. While Officer Harris was standing on the corner of Kearny and Pine streets, about 8 o'clock last night, he observed a very bright light in a window on. the second story of a building at 430 I'ine street. The light would blaze tip and disappear, but finally grew in intensity. Officer Harris ran up the stairs of the building and kicked in a door leading to the room where he bad seen the fire. In the meanwhile an alarm had been rung in from California and Kearny streets .and the chemical engine was early ou the scene. The room was lillea with smoke and Sanies, but in a few minutes every spark was ex tinguished. This section of the building is occupied by jr. B. >i liegle & Co., manufacturers of novelties. The flames did not reach any of their stock, but .were confined to the side of the walls. No water was used and the stock escaped damage from this source. The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. The loss is about 825, caused by damage to tha plaster and molding. Had the tire broken out late at night a very disastrous conflagration would have resulted, as the buildings in the neighbor hood are all light, combustible structures. The prompt discovery of the fire was re garded by Captain White of the Fire Patrol as the. means of saving the city a heavy loss. In the same building where the fire orig inated, and in adjoining rooms, the Bo hemian Club, the Art Association and tiie School of Design had quarters until re cently. The Ssin Francisco Press Club has its rooms in the building at present. * . lie alarm from Box 13 at b:'J5 o'clock was ior a fire at 12 Kausch street in a two story frame owned by Mrs. Peters and oc cupied by Albert Peters. The loss was $30, and the lire was caused by the explosion ol a coal oil lamp. HASD-BALL COURTS. Sir Interesting Games Flayed at Two IT i' '■-, Yraierrtay. Although the weather was rather warm yesterday it did not deter the lovers of the game, of hand-ball from indulging in their favorite pastime. The games at Butler's and Condon's courts were unusually inter esting, and there was a good attendance of spectators at each place. At Condon's court the first game was be tween M. Mullahy and John Condon against Hugh Tone* and James O'Leary. The Mullaliy and Condon side won the rub after two games bad been played. The contestants in the second game were J. Hollo y and H. Thompson against Peter Hutchinson ana Murphy, the "Shepherd Boy." It was won on the rub by Hutchin son and Murphy. ln the third game- John Condon and James Dillon played Hugh Toner and Al Pennoyer. The first-named pair won the first game and the second pair won the next game. The deciding game was a draw, and the game will be decided next Sunday. ill The games at Butler's court were excit ing and well played. The first game was six-banded between James Kelly, J. Keating mid Thomas Ryan on on** side and Michael Butler, Peter Hen nessey and Patrick Kelly on the other. it was won by Die Butler team. in the second game Thuinas Casbin, Pat rick Kelly and Thomas Ryan played M. Butler, James Kelly and J. Delaney. Tho former team won. James Kelly and M. Butler were the con testants ami winners In the third game, as against William McMahon and Thomas Casliin. The game stood one to one, and was won on the rub. The scoro stood ti tola. Irrnnketi Women at -he Ferry. By the 5.:30 o'clock boat from Sausalito last evening there arrived two well-dressed and seemingly respectable women, about '25 years of age, who were greatly under the Influence of liquor. After wandering about the ferry landing for some time they went across East street to a saloon and hud sev eral drinks. Then they returned to the ferry followed by a large mob, who were amused at their antics. Sergeant Kav anagh arrested them and locked them up at the North Harbor Station for being drunk. They gave the names of Mary Simons and Maud Lucas. One of them is said to b<* _ married woman from San Rafael. She claimed that she had been robbed of her purse.

MONDAY, JULY 28, 1890-EIGHT PAGES. ACROSS THE BAY. Horrible Death of Stephen Hart, an Alameda Painter. He Was Boasted Alive in the Loyal Oak Hotel-Result of the Primaries— A New Presbyterian Congregation. The result of Saturday's primaries in Al ameda County gives 36 to 38 votes out of 45 to Congressman Morrow for Governor in the State Convention at Sacramento. It is said that the contests in some of the wards will have no effect on the nominations for county officers later on, or on the primaries for the election of delegates to the County Convention, but there are somo who believe that it may have in one or two instances. Some of the Oakland base-ball cranks aro inclined to give up the pennant for this year, on account of the recent games and the forging ahead by tho Senators. There are a number, though, who think the Colonels can yet come out' first at the end of the season. _*.;" ■ G. W. Wilson, at one time a well-known Deputy Sheriff of Santa Clara County, has been sentenced to jail in Oakland as a vagrant, fur sleeping in a hay-stack. One hundred and twenty acreß of land on the Castro Valley road, Eden Township, have been mortgaged by Mary Stanton for 310,000. The regular meeting of tbe Board of Edu cation will be held this evening. A' SEW COXOIIEGATIOX*. . The organization of a United Presbyter ian congregation in Oakland will be per fected some time during the month of Au gust. A canvas shows that there are about fifty of the denomination in the city, ot whom nt least forty are expected to join in the organization. There is perfect satisfac tion with Bay. J. C. Banna, who hsis been preaching for the past six weeks, and he will undoubtedly be chosen pastor. It is feared that Rev. J; 13. Silcox may leave the pastorate of the Pilgrim Congre gational Church at East Oakland to accept si call to the First Congregational Church at Sacramento. He feels that his work in Oakland is circumscribed by geographical considerations, and that at Sacramento he would have a larger field. The remains of ■ Thomas F. Shoe maker, who died at Ukiah last week, will be taken to Washington, 1). C, for inter ment. Charles Jurgens has been arrested for renting premises to Chinese for lottery pur poses. He gave bail in the sum of 81.10. Nothing further has been learned of the assailants of young Esnojo near the Six teenth-street depot on Friday night. SUNDAY SERVICES. Rev, Dr. Stnittou occupied the pulpit of the First Congregational Church yesterday, l.t-v. Dr. McLean not having returned. The subject of Ber. C. W. Wendte, of the First ■Unitarian Church, at Hamilton Hall was "Taking Down the Fences. " Key. Dr. Boyd's subject at the Asbury Methodist Epispocai Church South was "A Common Salvation." Key. S. Goodenougb preached a doctnu'al sermon at the First Universa lis! church on "The Method and the Cer tainty of tbe Punishment of Sin." "Occu py Till. I Come" was the subject of the ser mon of Rev. H. 11. Bice of the Second Pres byterian Church. The theme of Key. Frank Dixon at the Fourth-avenue Baptist Church was "Self-control." "A Kule for Self-measurement" was the tonic ol Key. G. 11. Merrill at the Market-street Congre gational Church. There was a very largo congregation both morning anil evening at the First Presby terian Church to bear Key. Dr. Horton's closing sermons. At the morning service It was necessary to put chairs in the aisles to accommodate the audience. The farewell sermon was preached in the evening. The speaker was very much affected at both services and spoke with considerable feel ing. At the First Methodist Episcopal Church last evening a memorial service was held under the auspices of the Women's Chris- tism Temperance Union in honor of the late General Clinton B. Fisk. There was a large attendance. Rev. J. li. Silcox, Key. Dr. Dille and others made addresses. ALAMEDA. Stephen 31. Hart Fatally Bnrrrett In the I.oynl Oak Hotel. Residents in the vicinity of Park street and Railroad avenue were aroused s from sleep about 5 o'clock yesterday morning by an alarm of fire. Volumes of smoke were issuing from the roof of the Loyal Oak Hotel, and as' tbe fire had gained much headway before the alarm was given a serious conflagration seemed imminent, as a big lively stable, in which several hun dred tons of hay aro stored, stands but a few feet from tho hotel. Just as efforts vera being made to fight the fire the large crowd of people who bad assembled were horrified to see a man emerge from one of the lower rooms where the fire was raging. He did not take time to raise the window, but pushed himself through it, taking the sash along. The man was Stephen M. Hart, and the fire origi nated in bis room. He was burned from the abdomen to the crown of his head, and presented a most sickening sight. After forcing bis way through tho win dow he walked across the street, and burned pieces of flesh fell from him with every step which be took. Strange to relate, he re tained consciousness in his horrible con dition. The upper part of bis body was literally roasted, and the smell of bis flesh made many of the spectators sick. " I will be all right in a little while," said the unfortunate man, "but for God's sake give me some water. 1 will do anything for you, boys, if you only give me a drink if water. 1 ieel as if 1 bad a fire inside of me." William Tierney had taken charge of the tinlortuuate and sent tor a buttle of swr ot oil, which he poured on the baked human body still possessed with life. Despite his hogging for water it was not given him, but instead- oil was poured down his burned throat. In the meantime the fire was making great headway and the hotel seemed doomed to total destruction. But' the Volunteer Fire Department of the city had turned out in full numbers and two streams were soon pi .ring un the crackling dunes. The fire men seemed to work with an unusual deter mination and vigor, and in less than half 'an hour all danger of the destruction of the building was averted. To relieve Hart of his intense agony morphine was injected into bis body, but it was evident that his burns had placed him beyond all medical aid. Ho was placed in sin express wagon and taken to the Receiv ing Hospital iv Oakland. The attendants at that institution say that they never saw a more sickening sight, and the contortions of his face showed how intense his suffer ings were. J lis lingered until noon, when death came to his relief. • Whisky and cigarettes are said to be the indirect cause of tho man's horrible fate. He was a painter by trade, 30 years of age, but of late had been working as a common laborer. He was engaged Saturday in dig ging a side-sower trench on Park street for the new Petersen Building, and when he received his wages proceeded to indulge in liquor. At midnight be was seen on the streets singing and apparently in a very happy frame id mind. He was addicted to the use of cigarettes, and it is supposed that when he went to bed at the Loyal Oak Hotel he was smirking one. He slept on a straw mattress, and it is thought uy some that a lighted cigarette set lire to the mattress. From the manner in which his body is burned from the abdomen upward, it is supposed that he tiled to extinguish the flames, but in bis stupor, induced by liquor, be was not able to cope with them, and when his flesh commenced to roast he leaped from his bed, jumped through the window and sought refuge on the streets. Deceased was a single man and had bsen a resident of Alameda about a year. He is a member of the Braids, and the local lodge has taken charge of the remains and will give them a decent burial. AN AWFUL EACE. A Child 1.. -tubed to a Rapidly Moving Cabla. Since the West Side cable system was placed in operation there have been numer ous attempts to fathom the secrets of its rumbling, subterraneous mysteries, says the Chicago Herald. To the small boy the operations of the intermittent cable-cars of Juggernaut have been a constant puzzle. When the cars were started the narrow slit between the center rails - was lined for blocks with small boys, who dangled empty tomato cans and almost nil other desirable objects from strings, while they gleefully watched them. When the dangling objects were caught by the endless block, rapidly moving cable, and whirled heedlessly along down into the heart of the city, a general whoop would '. go up along the entire line. Little "Heiinie" Altenberg, who has seen but six - summers, lives on Madison street, along which the subter ranean cable rumbles. The little fellow sometime ago left school and became the recognized leaderof acrowd of companions, who, like himself, steeled themselves by studying mining." While gazing at the cable it suddenly occurred to the precocious lad that it would be prodigious fun .to "hitch" himself to the cable and gallop down town. No sooner had the resolution been made than the boy sailed forth from his par ents' residence at 803 West Madison street with a bed-cord. Fastening one end about his middle he tied to the other end a bit of paper and dangled it into the cable tunnel. Instantly his hopes were realized and the cord twirled about the . swiftly moving cable. Then his mad, race began. Like a yearling colt he galloped along, pulled by the cable. As the boy dashed around curves and street corners sight-seers were awe-stricken at his mad flight. Scores rushed lor knives to cut the rope which made the lad a part of the cable system, but ere they reached him ho had left them all several laps behind in the awful flight. On he sailed. Some given to mirth yelled, "Hey, there, Hennie," while the more thoughtful asked him if he was hurt. As block after block was passed in rapid suc cession a chorus of screams went up, the high refrain being joined by the lad him self, who had lost all thought of scientific investigation. Finally Mr. A. E. Allen rushed into the street with a huge knife, and, after trotting alongside the lad, succeeded in hacking the rope in two, allowing the exhausted boy to fall into his arms. To the inquiries from scores of people who asked him if he was hurt be blurted out, "naw," only to be "pulled" by a blue-coated copper, who, however, was touched by pity and allowed the lad to go home. His "dear mamma" then led him to bed, and, after throwing aside all the coverlets to allow her ample leeway, she raised the bed-cord, with which he had made the thrilling cable trip, and let fly without mercy. The stillness of the Sabbath afternoon was broken only by the "swish" of the cord and the indescribable wails of the boy who loudly wished he had been drawn to ' the land of which he dreamed when pondering over his Sabbath school lesson. His chastisement came swift and ignominious and mocked him in his realization of a new-found glory. A PIONEER RELIC. One of the Oldest Houses in tho City Is Still Intact. It was Brought Here in 1847 and Success ively Used as a Postcffice, Meeting . House and Swelling. On the eastorn side of Stanford street, a small thoroughfare running from I'rauuaii to Townseud street, between Second and Third, is a queer shaped structure painted a dark brown color. One half of it is built with a long sloping roof like that of a barn. The lower story of the other half is sur mounted by a two-story frame cottage. It looks as if the entire structure had been at one time barn-shaped, and some one had cut a right angular piece out of the upper story, and then taken one of the small buildi! gi in the vicinity from its foundation ana moved it into tho opening. ; The lower part of the structuie is used a3 a store-house for scr.,p-iron, second-hand boilers and tilt; like, but curtains at the windows of the cottage attachment betray the fact that it is a habitation for human beings. AX INTKKI-.SriNO RELIC. Tiro structure was but recently erected. New lumber was lined iv tin- construction of tlie bun-shaped part of it, but the cot tage formerly stood on ISryau", street, be tween Second nud Third, where it was also occupied as a dwelling. There might be nothing strango iv this combination build ing, especially in a district which abounds with all sorts of anamolios in the building line, were it not for. the fact that llie cottage has a history which but law buildings in tlie city can boast of. It is in reality one of the few reiuaiuiiiti. relics of pioneer days — "the days of '49." Adjoining tho place lives John Munro, a Mexican War veteran and a forty-niner. To a Call reporter yesterday .Miinro re lated the history of. the cottage. "That house," said he, "was one of the first buildings in this city. . It Was brought out here in 1847, in either the ship Loo Cisoo or the Susan Drew, I forget which just now. FOItTY-TIIREE YEAKS OLD. "The material in it is Eastern pine, and I'll wager that, although it Is 43 years oh' ' it is as tough and as stunt as it was then.' The Government sent it out here in sec tions, and it probably cost about 515,000. "' It was erected on Clay street and Bren am place and given a coating of whim nut, so that it had quite a fresh-looking appearand! amid the dingy hills and rough looking buildings. It was in turn used as a.posiofflee, town ball and meeting-house. As a postohiise it saw lively times. Every time the mails arrived from the Atlantic States, which was about once a month, there was great excitement. "In order that there might be no con fusion lines were formed from the delivery windows, at the end of which applicants for letters fell in as soon as they arrived. ".sometimes men would stand around. all night in the cold and wind in order to be among the first at the window. The lines would extend to Kearny, and south to the tents at Sacramento street. Often S'-'O would bo paid by persons arriving late for places near the bead nt the line. In fact, it was just .such another scene as we have wit nessed here in later years during an opera season, only we old pioneers wore a great deal more eager to get our letters and pa pers than any person was to get an opera ticket. USED AS A POLLING-PLACE. "Another interesting feature in connec tion with the house is that it was the first polling-place iv the city. There the Con stitutional election was held. I remember well being importuned by Senator Uiwu to vole ln favor of making California a slave State, because he knew that I was Irom New Orleans. I did not vote that way, however. Several public meetings were held in the house and its walls have re echoed the eloquence of pioneer speakers. Sunday services were held in it later, and during week days a school was maintained there. '•Finally as the district around the Plaza was built up tlie building became neglected and was rented as a dwelling, 1 think. It » as the same size as now, consisting of a lower story and a half second story, the slanting roof cutting off part of the ceiling. It had a porch running along in front which has since been removed. "Some nuns in the lit ties the house was sold and removed to soma place in the out skirts.

Altogether 1 guess it lias re paid its original cost a good many times over." TOUCHED THE HEART. Music by n Blind Hoy That ISrought Tears to mv Kyi •*. An incident of a peculiarly touching-, char acter occurred in one of the elevated rail road trains that brought tears to the eyes of the passengers. The train bad just loft One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street when the passengers saw entering the car a little boy about G years old, beiug half pushed and half carried by an older boy, evidently his brother. At the first glance it was seen that the little fellow was blind, and hi, eye lids had almost grown together, lie had a pale, wait face, but was smiling. A quick look of sympathy passed over the laces of the passengers, and an old gray-haired gen lonian got up and gave his seat to the two. The "big brother," who was about 11 years old, tenderly lifted up the little blind boy and placed him on his knee. "How's that?" he asked. "Nice," said the little chap. "Where's my 'monica?" This puzzled some of the passengers, and several turned to see what the child meant. But the "big brother" Knew, and immedi ately drew out a small mouth harmonicon and placed it in the little fellow's hands, Both boys were well dressed. The little fellow took the instrument into his thin hands, ran it across his lips and began to irlay softly "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Tears came into the eyes of the old gentle man who bad given up his seat, and as the little played on, running into "Hock of Ages" and "Abide Willi Me." there were many moist eyes iii the car. The r little player seemed to have a remarkably true ear and occasionally, when the instrument would rasp, he would turn sadly to his '"big brother" and say, "Don't whistle." The train rushed along, the passengers listened and the little lellow played on tire lessly, never missing a note from "Annie Laurie" or "Home, Sweet Home." Finally the "big brother" leaned down and told the little one to get ready to leave, as the train was approaching the station. Then, as if he knew he had won a whole car-load of friends, the blind boy quickly changed "The Suwanee Hivei'' into "Auld Lang Syne," and with one accord the passengers burst into a round of applause, while the "big brother" carried the tittle one out of the car.— X.

Republicans Casting About for Available Men. Ccombs of Napa in the Lead for Second Place. The Fond-Coleman Fight in Los An geles—White's Campaign. Walter S. Moore of Los Angeles, who is In the city in the interests of Colonel Mark ham, insists that the vote of Los Angeles County will be given to Coleman in the con vention at San Jose. He urges that the claims. which are being made by tbe ad herents of Pond in that county are unwar ranted by facts and that the resalt of the first ballot will show the truth of this. While this may be the sentiment of tho politicians it is evidently not tbat of the voters at large, as is shown by a letter of recent date from a Democrat to the editor of the Los Angeles Herald. He says: 1 hare personally Interviewed Ma Democrats In this city since .Monday as in their preferences tor Governor and 1 nave louuii the following re sult: I*uud3S7. Coleman 126, Kiigilsli 18, Berry 0, Del Valle C, White 4, the nominee 18. This would seem to be proof conclusive that "Buckley's young man" is not such a universal favorite with the people of the south as his subsidized followers would make out. It looks just now, in fact, as if Coleman would have to depend for his strength largely upon tbe efforts of his friend Buckley, who Is understood to have promised him the greater part of tho San Francisco delegation on the opening ballots. This would give bim a certain show of strength, but would, also, it is safe to as sume, solidify the country delegations against him,' because of tbe opposition to anything that savors of Buckley ism. A prominent Democrat, in discussing the situation yesterday, said: "I am in a posi tion to ascertain the sentiment of the coun try on this question, and I can say posi tively that Fond is the general favorite. In the last three weeks 1 have interviewed prominent men, merchants and lawyers as well as politicians, from as many as half of the counties of the State, and In nearly every instance I have found thsit Fond was the strongest man. The almost universal reply to my interrogations would be: 'Well, you understand, of course, that we have a local candidate, but Bond is our sec ond choice.' By this lam convinced that he is by long odds the favorite, and I regard his nomination as a foregone conclusion." COOMBS IN* TUB I.K.Mr. . The N m'S. Mad a Favorite for Ueu t an '-Governor. ... -* ;- Ex-Senator Jordan of Alameda, now that he has been knocked out in his own county, may be regarded as out of the race for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant- Governor, and Frank L. Coombs of Napa is to the front as the most formidable candi date for that place. The south has no aspirant so far as known, and it is reason ably certain that such men as Chipuian, Morrow, Batterson, Sliippee and Jlarkhaui would not accept second place. Coombs looks, therefore, like a winner, and the Markhsun men, if they succeed in placing their man at the head of the ticket, will go to him iv a body. Jordan, however, it Is claimed, was never in it, and Alameda will probably bo satisfied with the nomination of Wsiite for Secretary of State. It is be lieved that he will havo a walk over in the contest, and it is predicted that he would run ahead of his ticket, because of the feel ing which was excited in His favor by the action of tiie President in withdrawing his nomination for Appraiser through the in fluence of Judge Field. WHITE'S CAMPAIGN. A Prominent Democrat Think-) It Is nn Unwise One. Senator Tell of Mendocino says that the Democrats of Northern California will re sent most emphatically any attempt on the part of the adherents ot Stephen M. White to secure for the latter the indorsement of the State Convention for United States Senator, and that if such an effort is made it will convert this convention into a small sized circus. "We have no objection to Mr. White," added the Senator, "and I am personally bis friend, but it will be the one mistake of: bis life if he allows such a thing to be un dertaken. There is no lack of Senatorial timber in the Democratic party, and for one man to attempt to force himself on the party is a little more than the members of It will- tolerate. Besides no one would be bound by the indorsement, and members of the Legislature would still be free to vote as they pleased. If Mr. White is wise he will call a halt and abandon bis present tactics." Krnnck for State Treasurer. The sentiment of the Republicans is fast becoming centered on certain men for the various places on the State ticket, and the name of F. C. Franck of Santa Clara is more often heard than any other in con nection with the nomination for State Treasurer. There are some doubts as to his willingness to accept, but there seems to be little question of his being the nomi nee if he desires it. lie is a strong man all over the State, and it is claimed that his services to the party in the past are of such a nature as to give him a powerful claim to recognition. lie is a wealthy, shrewd busi ness man. and a power in the politics ot Santa Clara County. The south is solid for him, and a large part of the delegation from San Francisco as well as tho northern counties would be at his command. Roddick and A ji.l. r.'ii. The San Francisco Republicans will probably ask for the nomination of W. J. Roddick for Clerk of the Supremo Court, aud J. W. Anderson for State Superintend ent of Public Instruction. Both are strong men, and tbe indications are that both will bo nominated. The two weeks re maining until the convention meets may alter the aspect of affairs, but the gen-, tlemen referred to are nt the present time undoubtedly far in the lead of all com petitors. 9u-fi Denied by trkhvim'a Friends. The Los Angeles men deny tbat Colonel Mark ham was, as charged, the author of the bill appropriating ssj.*iu,ixx) for the pur pose of prosecuting the hydraulic miners, but claim, on the contrary, that it was framed and introduced by Congressman McKenna. They assert that this is shown by the record and that the latter gentleman proudly lays claim to the honor. Colonel Markhsim's only connection with it, they say, was as a member of an advisory com mittee, which agreed to its introduction.

What She Drink* and Why the Court l'hy- gician Kecoiuiucnderl It. Tho London World has been making an Investiga- tion of what the Queen drink] and has ascertained deflnately that, upon the advice of Sir William Jen- tier, she drinks win sky diluted In water. i Ins Is for the purpose of retaining her vigor, renewing her strength arid prolonging her life. The whisky which she drinks 1; obtained from the distillery on her own Balmoral estate, and of course Is perfectly pure. Thus the World offers a valuable suggestion ln this fact: England's sovereign drinks whisky undor the recommendation of tbe court physician and on account of Its medicinal properties, and slio drinks It absolutely pare, having It distilled upon ber own estate. These facts prove two things: First, that all modern medical science demonstrates the superior value of whisky for sustaining the health and prolonging the life and second, that It must be absolutely pure. Tbe leading American physicians and chemists bave indorsed these views constantly and emphasized tbe necessity or having whisky that Is absolutely pure. Tbo best medical and chemical talent In America has shown conclu- sively that no whisky known In tho market Is so pure as Daffy's Malt. It is wholly free from fusil, oil, it Is unlike all oilier so-called whiskies and it Is doing grout things for tbe health of the community. I So true is this, that while marry temperance people denounce whiskies and liquors in general, they ac- knowledge rue superior merit of Duffy's Malt, and * use It medicinally continually.
