When we got down into the lonely gorge and eame In sight of the cabin, we espied a man coining toward as, zigzagging along like one far gone in intoxication, and as he drew near we saw that his face was bloody and; his clothes bedraggled with mud and sand, and we concluded that he was a road agent playing drunk. It is now my impression that at that particular juncture a large majority of rav hair Hz.

I've sinned. I've sinned We left him at a i wayside taverr, pledged the landlord to secrecy, drove into town, and next morning reported to bis friends that their pastor, having been thrown from his horse and nearly killed, was lying at "that place.

Unfortunately the teamsters came along in the mean time, found out his condition, and when they got into town reported that the priest; was drunk. But we two! my wife and stood by our unfortunate friend, declared that it was a naked lie, and ourselves like a pair of conjugal thieves.

Oaklakd, March 20, 1889. THE LIQUOR DEALERS' SIDE. Mr. Crowley Doe Not Believe In In- crease of tbe License. Editor Tkibi-ne: I see by the papers that the liquor license is going to be raised on the 1st of April, and as one that is engaged in the liquor Dusiness at the present time I desire to say that it is my honest opinion that this action on the part of the new City Council will only end in a disastrous failure so far as the question of temperance is concerned, for the simple reason that a large part of our population will consume a certain amount of liquor in spite of all the City Council can do to prevent it, and that it tbey undertake to raise the license any higher than it is at present it will ODly result in throwing all the money that is spent for liqnor in Oakland into the hands of a few saloon while the city treasury is sure to remain in a depleted condition.

If a disreputable character keeps a disreputable house, the Council has the power and the right to close up the place, but when they undertake to close up respectable places by means of a high license whieh people cannot pay in these dull tiroes, I think they will do something that they and the people of Oakland will be sorry for in a short time. I understand that one of the gentlemen who compose the new City Council, aud who is in favor of high license, is not on principle but rather through spite against the liquor men who worked against his election to office two years ago. This gentlemen should bear in mind that there are persons engaged in the liquor business now who took no part in that transaction, and he, in common with the rest of the Councilmen in favor of high BASEBALL GOODS!

AN OLD PHILANTHROPIST And How He Appeared as a Prosecuting Witness. John C. Beach is the name of the old evangelist who occasionally is seen around tbe depot at Seventh street and Broadway. Sometimes he has little tracts in his hands, which he distributes, and sometimes he gathers the little children around him and he tells them tbe story of his life aud advises them against liquor. He is a prohibitionist, but be is a true philanthropist.

Tbe little tracts that he distributes are paid for out of his own pocket. It was one evening when he was telling some children how he used to be wild and drink, and how he rau away from home, when tall young man who was standing there was aked by the old man to sigu the pledge. "Why don't you give me soniethine to get a cup of coffee with, instead of asking me to sign the pledge?" he asked. Tbe old man put his hnnd into his pocket and drew forth a dime. "It is all I he said, "but I guess you need it worse than I do." The youne man blushed and stammered, and finally returned the coin and left tbe crowd.

Recently Phil Strauter. a colored hack driver, annoyed the old mn. and" a warrant was sworn out for Puil's arrest for battery. NOT SO BLACK AS PAINTED. A Fond Mother to the Rescue of Her Dead Son's Reputation.

Mrs. Hyer. mother of Jacob Schrei-ber, the young man arrested for drunkenness, who was killed by a bullet fired Jy a police officer, when trying to escape, is ready with proofs that some assertions damaging to the reputation of her deceased son are not true. An insinuation was made recently that Schreiber might have caused the death of a young mau named Mooney by pushing him from the top of a car, and might have stolen from him $00. Mrs.

Hyer says that she can prove by a saloon keeper of West Oakland, Murphy bv name, and others, that when Mooney went to the train he had no money and was very drunk. Mrs. Hyer also denies that Schreiber ever was held to answer a charge of felonv. The only time he was ever accused of serious crime was last fall, when a charge of burglary was made on the supposition that he was with the Sporting Life gang on the celebrated raid of Seventh street. He was discharged upon preliminary examination.

The prosecution of Police Officer Mc-Clond. who is accused of slaving young Schreiber, is supported by Mr. and Mr. Hyer. stepfather and mother of the deceased.

Byroa Springs, the Xoted Resort in Contra Costa County. A well known Eastern railroad manager, who spent a portion of last fall in California, speaks very highly of Byron Hot Springs as a health and summer resort in a letur to friends on this coast.

So well pleased is he with this place that be has decided to return again to that place with his familv during the coming summer. Byron "is in a little valley in Contra Costa County about five miles from the railroad ita-Ucd, and is one of the most healthy places in the State. The celebrated mud baths and mineral springs which are abundant in this vicinity are known all over the coast for their medicinal properties. The large hotel has been entirely refitted and renovated for the summer guests, who flock here as soon as the tirst warm weather approaches. To invalids especially, the place is highly recommended, and a physician is constantly in attendance for their aid.

Huntiug and fishing are some of the out door amusements, and from the long mountain roads plentv of picturesque scenery may be found by those who enjoy riding and sketching. The Converted Gambler.

xaere seen at tne rooms 01 me -Woman's Christian Temperance Union on Kintb street a remarkable display of -mre and radiant floral beauty. It is in the form of an open box of pink and Arhite camellias, so sweet and pure looking that they might have adorned and sanctified the paradise of the Perii. They came from the ornamental grounds of D. W. C.

Gaskill on Harri- eon street, and they are accompanied "br liny hairpins which they may be addtd 10 the natural grace and loveli nesa of the pretty yoncg giris who throng Broadway of a pleasant after- nocn. No production of art is worthy to be thought of in comparison with their exquisite beauty, and Mr. has displayed a certain refinement of taste in placing his pet pones where they may be viewed aud caressed by so many elite It dies of the city. There are places where that social division are apt to congregate. When they are physically hungry they gather in swarms at the tea rooms when they ten Intellectually athirst they foregather at Hardy's bookstore.

At certain hours it is not easy to find an unoccupied chair at table, and a glance over the decorous throng reveals the presence of much of the easily recognizable culture, intelligence and wealth of Oakland. It is not a place for a cross-grained fellow to feed with his hat talk boisterously, or menace the configuration of his mouth with a. knife-blade. The establishment is presided over by Mrs. 8.

F. Sarnunv. a xnatronlv looking lady, assisted by four "or five pleas- ant-faced, well-bred and attentive yuuug girts, who go about their duties with noiseless celerity. One is not re- quired to wait long for attention, and he is always sure that everything before him is the very best of Us kind, and has been prepared with the utmost deliccv. i believe the place was not oriRinslly designed for a money making concern, but rather for the purpose ot keeping respectable young people put ot unsuitable company and possible mischief.

Nevertheless it has become a paving property and one of the most popular resorts in the city, and in that I -f Phriatmn Union have, been magnificently successful, as la. humane and charitable designs they have been so unselfishly lavish of good works. There are some three hundred of these good women, chiefly the mothers. Wives, daughters, sisters, and other relatives of our foremost citizens, and drawn from the elite of all the Protestant churches; and I do not suppose that precisely what they are is generally known. Some of them are very rich, all are ladies of culture, and I do not think there is another local organization capable of ex- ertinz such a tremendous moral force.

They might be described as a phalanx of religious Amazons, clad in the beauty of holiness and invested with the mieht of the Spiritual, and what ever impious Influences shall come into conflict with their set purposes of humanity and reform must inevitably go -down. Among other forms of quiet benevolence they have es tubUshed a Home on Franklin street not a reguation home for inebriates but a quiet retreat, where men of otherwise good Tinrnosf i who have been overcome and rendered helpless, may take refuge, find protection, womanly sympathy. consolation, and recovery. Thfse unhappy refugees are never exposed to public recognition. If their money is all gone, as it generally their wants are reasonable time until they can get something to do, or are fit to return to former employment.

When they get able they may. if they choose, pay for the trouble and expense; if they don't, that is the last of it. their benefactors never talk about it, and no mortifying secrets ever leak out of that friendly lodge in the wilderness. The only way to get sight of the beneficiaries, or to find outanythinc about the internal economy is to go into the lecture room of the Methodist Church, on Fourteenth street, about 3 or 4 o'clock of a Sunday aiUmooH the occasion of the weekly prayer meeting of the union and hear the passionate utterances of the men who have been so befriended, so effectually rescued when almost ready to perish, and restored to society, and who have voluntaiily come there to express and repeat their unbounded gratitude. When I chanced to go there the other Sundav, and saw a number of those fortunate men sitting there "clothed and their right minds." and without a trace of their recent unhappy condition, and saw the cheeks of their benefactors flush with excitement and their color come and go under the heart-born eloquence of men Whom they had tenderly supported and led back into the highway of salva- tion, I felt like putting off my shoes as upon holy ground, and covering my face before the burning bush of Chris- tian humanity.

And now I wish to God that I had sufficient persuasive powers to induce a great man of our well to do citizens to write out some small checks, address them'-The Woman's Christian Tem-Mrinc and entrust them to the attentive letter carriers.

Jicense should also bear in mind that every otie in this world cannot be engaged in the same occupation and that we all have to do something for our living. While I am speaking on this subject I desire to call the attention of the new City Council to the condition of affairs in the city across the bay. If they read the San Francisco papers, and I presume they do, tbey cannot fail to see that a large number of young men and women are driven fo the insane asylum through the use: of morphine and opium, and that drugs are obtained at the different drug stores throughout the cityi Why don't the temperance reformers, of Oakland, who pretend to be looking to the interest of humanity, turn their attention to these drug stores' that can do more injury to the rising generation in one month than all the saloons in Oakland could do in ten years If they would do this they would do more good than by annoying people who are engaged in a legitimate and respectable business. The writer of this; has lived in Oakland ten years, and has always tried to be a law abiding and. respectable citizen.

On the first of hast year I invested all the money I could raise in a liquor store, and I did it in good faith. I allow no bad characters inside its doors, and invariably close at 9:30 and 10 o'clock every night, and this is one of the places that is about to be closed by means of a high license. Is this right? Is this just? Is this common sense? I say no, and all I can say now in regard to ibis matter is that if that if the license goes up I. as well as manv others, will lock up my door, call the moaey invested in the a dead loss, and leave for a country where the people are more liberal in their ideas, and where temperance cranks and Bible banging hypocrites are not as numerous as they are in Oakland.
