q Rescue Home for Fallen Women Will BE Es-
tablished in 0akland-Plans Ready and
Work Will Be Begun in October.

That General Booths book, ain Darkest
England" has borne good fruit, no one
who has observed the growth ana general
prosperity of the great organization known
as the Salvation Army can doubt.
Many Of the theories advocated and at the
time of their conception stamped as wild,
impracticable and chimerical have been
actually put in practice; and here in San
Francisco, the very latest spot chosen for
the transportation and development of
these ideas. much good is being done, and
sweet charity being dispensed with as Law
ish hand as the treasury Of the society
will permit.
The latest proposition for extending the
work is the establishment of Rescue
Home for fallen women on this Coast. This
matter has been under consideration for
many months, and Major Kyle now an.
nounces that the site of this Institution will
be Fruitvale, Oakland. An acre of land
mas been given for the purpose by gentle
man OF Oakland, and the work of building

A TEST HOME IN THIS CITY.

established in this city, where converts will
be given an opportunity to prove their good
Oakland. The scheme will be worked on
precisely the same plan as the farm colony
experiment in London, where thousands
are being cared for and Taught agriculture
and the mechanical arts, in conjunction
with morality and the essentials of a Chris
tian life.
In pursuance of another branch of the
work, which has been very successful in
London, Stunning brigade" was organ

ton with the training garrison having
quarters on California street. and number
OF women were detailed each week for duty
in the slums.
Their method was to 70 among the very
poor and dispense such favOrs as are usually
acceptable to members of this unfortunate
class. No uniforms are worn by the soldiers
while engaged in this work. and it is their
custom to take lodgings in the neighborhood
where the heaviest work is found.
NO FIELD FOR THE WORK.
In this city Barbary Coast was chosen
and an old rookery fitted up as a home,
from which sailed forth each morning while
the experiment lasted Il dozen women bent
upon helping the poor: but they found SO

Both were slightly intoxicated, and some of
the boys got them to play game of bill

without discovering the trick. Tho ball

NOT THE REMEDY.
Prohibition Denied in the Eastland-Fov
10

Ter Case.
The Supreme Court yesterday refused to
grant the application for writ of prohibi
ton against the Superior Court. directing
and commanding it and the receiver ap-
pointed by it to desist from further proceed
ing in the matter OF the insolvency of East
land & Fowler.
The firm failed in December, and a re-
ceiver and subsequently an assignee were
appointed. Certain creditors claimed the
property OF the firm, and Il suit was brought
against them by the assignee. They asked
Tor writ to restrain him, and their appli-
cation was refused by the Supreme Court.
The ground OF refusal was that it is not
the purpose of writ of prohibition to re-
strain an assignee in insolvency proceedings
from prosecuting such suits as he may deem
necessary for the recovery of property
which he claims is vested in him as such as
signee.

of Correction on an appeal bond, it appear
ing that among other acts of ''forgetful-

and tried to have warrant issued for Nil.

swear that Miller had ''surrepttiously" re-
