He Listens to Strong Appeals From Mothers Who Urge Their Sons' Protection. A MIDNIGHT RAID UPON GIRARC'S. Electric Signals and SharD Lookout Do Not Serve to Guard YoutMul Players From the Inroad of the Police. Alameda County Bureau "The Examiner," 918 Broadway, OakUind. OAKLAND, May mothers of this city have appealed tn nic to save their boys from the vicious gambling dens that operate under the guise of places of respectability," declared Chief of Police Lloyd to-day.

"That is one reason why for '4 month past 1 have been busy trying to collect the legal evidence necessary to raid a number of resorts In Oakland where youthful players are encouraged to lose their dimes and quarters and half dollars." Such a den was raided at midnight but night by Chief Lloyd, when with Sergeant Hodgkine and Captain Fletcher he arrested a dozen or more young men in the gambling rooms attached to John.P. Glrard'a billiard parlors at 465 Twelfth street. The Chief has bad the place under surveillance for a month. Some time ago he broke up a studhorse poker game In the rooms and received a promise from Glrard that no more gam bling would be permitted. Put the propri etor repented of his words and had safe guards established to give warning of the approach of the police.

An electric signal was attacnea to tne front door that leads Into a billiard and smoking hall. Doors to the cardrooms were constructed wlti "peekholes" and "lookouts" were posted at them who knew the policemen. Notwitnstandtng, a sucessrui raid was made and Glrard was Included in the nun her sent to the City Prison. That was the direct result of complaints without number J. C.

Will Give a Big Picnic and Paces at Shell Mound Park Next IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION, The Coming Picnic Wil' Be the Great Outdoor Gathering of the Colored Folk of the Coast. Alameda County Bureau "The 91S Broadway. Oakland.

OAKLAND, May 24. -Oakland has the first cycling club In the cotmtry to be organized exclusively of colored men. It has been named the Oakland Cycling Club, and they are preparing to give a series of races, games and a big pientn at Mound Park on July 16th next. Oakland has a large negro population, mainly of the highly educated class. They have several strong literary, religious, so cial and political organizations In Oakland, and they command considerable political recognition.

Some time ago the' younger colored men In Oakland determined to have an athletic club with wheeling as the special feature. So the club was organized by Harry V. Williams, who Is now the Captain; J. C. Moore.

the First Lieutenant, and William Morrey Second Lieutenant. It was decided to eliminate the color line In Its name, and the title of the Oakland Cycling Club was adopted. The organization now has a mem-bershlD of fifty-one. The rlub has given one exhibition, but It was In December and was spoiled by the weather. Ic is now pro posed to make the coming picnic and racea the greatest event of the kind ever given by a colored organization on the Coast.

Al ready promises have been received of entries and delegations from the Interior cities, and the colored folk of San Francisco will turn out to a man and a heel. There will be a lot of Independent rec ords made at these races, for the Oakland Cycling Club will establish time for them selves. But the Oakland cyclers are not satisfied with Independent records, and they will go against the Coast records of other cluba. An Affidavit Procured as to the Date of His Birth. Dr, Bentley Locates the Time and His Statement Will Be Used in an Appeal to Governor Budd.

Alameda County Bureau "The Examiner," 918 Broadway, Oakland. OAKLAND. May 24. Friends of the Ma Jors family have secured evidence which will be presented to Governor Budd In nn effort to secure the removal of Abe Majors, the boy burglar, from the State Tenlten tlary to one of the State reform schools They have procured a certificate of birth from Dr. George G.

Bentley to show that Abe was born on April 2, 1SS0, In San Jose. This would have acted very materially In his behalf bad the facts been presented when he was sentenced to the State prison for ten years by Judge Greene. The law requires that offenders under the aee nf sixteen shall be committed to a re formatory. When youtig Majors was before the "court his age was given as seventeen years. He was therefore within the limit prescribed for imprisonment in a penitentiary, and was sent to Folsom.

The boy's mother and her friends stated that he was under sixteen, but they offered no proof upon the matter. Since his imprisonment young Majors' friends have been at work, and they have located tn Dr. Bentley the physician who attended Mrs. Majors when the boy was born. That they might be well fortified to present their case before the Governor, Dr.

Bentley made an affidavit at San Jose which recites very briefly that a male child was born to Mrs. Majors. Thin child was Abe Majors, and it is upon this aflidavit that the (iovernd. will be asked to take action. The boy' pardon is not expected.

His friends s-csdt to have htm removed from the prison where he Is now a convict. BLOOMER GIRLS ABSENT, A though the Park Was Crowded Yesterday, but Few Women Cyclists Were 1 here. Golden Gate Park was crowded yesterday. An absence of the bloomer girl was one strange lack In the perfection of the day. The bright young clerk at the lodge, when asked for an explanation of the mystery, said ho thought It was because the day was too warm.

That suggestion only complicated the mystery. Whether untoward thermal conditions are likely to shake the stability of bloomer complexions the young man could not presume to say. "But you ought to have seen them this morning," he added. "The Park was full of them; but when the sun came out strong they melted away The only racket In all the Park, despite the swarming thousands who crowded it, was that made by the band and the birds. So fiercely did the sun beat that the seats were not nearly filled, but multitudes of listeners reclined on all the shady banks in the vicinity.

The conservatory was almost empty of visitors, for it wss afurnn.ee. More agreeable than a view of the perspiring, red-faced enthusiasts who studied the orchids were the sentimental couples hidden away in unfrequented bypaths, seated on benches in the cool shade and planning anew the old familiar plot ot the human comedy. The nerves upon pure, rich blood and you need not fear the horrors of nervous prostration. Nerves are weak when they are improperly and insufficiently nourished.

Immediate and Ultimate Effects of the Movement in Mining Stocks. While a Bonanza May Temporarily Retard It Will Bring Up Values Subsequently AUCTIONS TO BE HELD THIS WEEK. 1emporary Quietness in the Line of Improvements to Be Followed, by Activity All Along the Line.

The realty market bound to suffer, at first, by the mining excitement. This -III be at most a temporary holding bark of the better times that are coming, If there anything Ilka a bonanza the money thus obtained will seek Investment and much mors than Is taken out. or temporarily withheld from Teal estate, will then find Its way back very speedily Into real property, Improved and unimproved. Much money has been withdrawn from the savings banks In the past few weeks by Intending Investors in mining stocks. The banki are not at all averse to these withdrawals, as they have only too much Idle money In their vaults on which there is Interest to pay.

The amount of withdrawals is far larger than the activity tn stocks would bad people to believe, particularly when It Is remembered, that the prices paid for shares are, after all, very small. The highest stocks In the market to-day are not over ,3 60 a share; the majority are far below thut figure. In bonanza times the prices now represented by cents were then represented by dollars yet In these same bonanza times the realty market was healthy and building was done on a more extensive and elaborate scalo than at any prior or subsequent period. Thus the mining stock activity will heip the realty market If there be a bonanza. It will also help the realty market If there be no bonanza, for money will speedily seek other avenues of Investment when this one Is closed and there Is virtue In the circulation of money.

Coin kept in bank continually does more goooa man that which Is stored in a stocking, but it does most good when it is In general, active circulation.

1, A. 0. to Glenwood Many Friends of the Organization Spent a Pleasant Day in the Mountains. THE ARRANGEMENTS WERE PERFECT. Jig and Reel Dancing by the Older Folks One of the Most Enjoyable Features of the Excursion, The twi nty-pliihth annual picnic of Division No.

It was organized in thin city In 1KR8, and has 2 names on the membership roll. The committee having the picnic arrangements In charge left nothiug undone to Insure a pleasant time, and the l.HOO excursionists spent a most enjoyable day among the big trees.

When the band played "Home, Sweet Home" as a signal that It was near train time the festivities were at their height, and many a wish was expressed by the pleaHiireReckers that they had another hour to spend on the grounds. The large dance platform was crowded r.ll day long with merry dancers, while Professor McCarthy with his Irish bagpipes won the hearts of the older folks. Couple after couple gave exhibitions of their proficiency in dancing the old country Jigs and reels and were roundly applauded. Two tugs of. war had been arranged for.

but they had to be abandoned. A clear upace where the rival teams could show thetr strength, could not be found on the ground. Cleats were nailed to one of the planked walks above the creek that runs the ground and two teams settled down for a long, steady pull. The r.paee was too narrow and one of the men slipped down the embankment. Before he could regain himself several others followed him and rolled over one another toward the creek.

Luckily, none of them were Injured. The decision of Henry Ityder, who acted as judge, declaring the match off met with general approval.

PORT TOWNSEXD May 24, The case of the United Stales against William. Smith, Crst maw of the ship Henjamin Sewall, now in the harbor, came before United Slates Commissioner James S.

Swan last evening. The defendant is charged with maltreating Sailor William Mau, in consequence of which Mau jumped overboard and was drowned. According to the tfstlmony of tailors who were called for the prosecution, the treatment received at the hands of the male by Mau was most inhuman. On the 6th day of January, lSUfi, at 4 o'clock a. while the vessel was on the high seas bound from Port Townsend to Shanghai, the mate came on duck to take his watch and saw Mau with his coat on, It being extremely cold.

The mate blurted cut, "Take that coat off, I'm the only one allowed to wear a coat on this ship." 1 he tailor started to obey but was not quick enough to suit, the mate, who grabbed a belaying pin anil hit. him three or four times, then struck him a blow in the face iih his fist, making his eyes black and blue, then took a capstan bar and knocked the man down. He then ordered Mau to dance nnd sing, saying that he guessed he would make it warm enough before he got through with him. The mate told Jones, a colored seaman, to hunt up all the clothing he could find and put It on Mau and when Jones had obeyed the fellow was arrayed with two sou'westers and cap. three coats and three pairs of troupers.

Tearing that this was not enough. Smith ordered that a piece of canvas 'bs tied about Mau. The mate went aft and the unfortunate seaman, stepping to the fi.le of the ship, lumped 'overboard. The mate was informed of what had happened, and ordered a boat, but no trace of Mau could be found. hearing thp testimony Commissioner Swan bound Smith over in the sum of Sli.Ono, and in default of which ho remains In the County Jail.

Witnesses to the prosecution, ten seamen in all, are al.o held in the County Jail. CYCLERS AT THE PARK.

He said In part; Some two years ago the greatest apostle of agnosticism defended suicide, nnd Ills defense was heartily Indorsed by the most brilliant writer of the agnostic school on this Coast. The Idea was held that under sane circumstances a man was Justified in taking his own life. William Miller of PhlladMphU accepted this idea nnd acted upon It, quoting Ingersoll in justification of his deed. Christianity repudiates the doctrine of self-destruction, and repudiates agnosticism and its position both as to the extent of the evil as well as the cure. It denies that the evils of life are as bad as they seem, and affirms that the cure for our ills Is not self-lnfllcted death but God-given life.

He then went on to show that, although the doctrine of self-destruction wag repudiated by Christianity, a great many peoole, as a matter of fact, do destroy themselves without thought, not simply by the indulgence of appetites and passions, but by living on too low a plan of life; by unbelieving, worries and anxieties; by unkindly sentiments and by neglect of the comforts of the gospel of Christ.

Ther were a score of them, men and women, and they listened very attentively while the caballlstic expert told them that dreams were really communications from Invisible beings not the spirits of the dead, but a totally distinct race. These other beings, he said, in addition to being Invisible to the non-cabbalistic eye, were perfectly white.

Before the lecture the Professor had to answer many questions, and he told the inquirers many queer things about his belief. He said everyone could see the tiiinss he sees after much study and the exercise of willpower.
