THE GREAT RED DRAGON.
Rev. DR.. Easton's Discourse on tn,
Liquor Traffic.

Rev. DR.. Easton's Discourse on the
Liquor Traffic.
The Great Dragon of San Francisco
Shall We Stay 1t or Feed 1t, Which" was
the subject of the discourse delivered by
the Rev. DR.. T. c. EastOn at Calvary Church
last night. As preface he said in ancient
times the dragon was supposed to be a
great destructive agency. Although not
in an age of mythology" said he, 1--WE are
thr eatened by dragon that imperils the
nation-the liquor saloons This monster
blightS the lives of millions. Just as the
ancient dragons played havoc among the
Celestials, so is the dragon now laying
waste our land of wealth and beauty. The
most important question of the age Is what
is to be done with the great red dragon. 1t
proposes TO wreck one OF the grandest re-
publics ever founded Many nations are
now wasting their resources in feeding the
great dragon"
Statistics were quoted in support of the
argument that in many countries more
money is being spent for liquor than for
food. America pays enough each year
to cancel the national debt In the
United States there are $500 breYeries,
$500 distillerleS and $4,000 places where
liquor is sold. DR.. EastOn went on to state
that the destruction of 100. 600 lives is caused
annually through the sale and excessive use
of liquor In fact he was of the opinion
that the use of liquor threatens all our pub
lie institutions, and that one half of the
crimes committed are due to its agency. He
also gave statistics to support his argument
that il is a false idea that the sale of liquor
decreases taxation. No man, he said, can
claim religious protection who upholds the
evil. The gospel is the only cure for drunk
ennesS.
In conclusion the pastor invited those so
inclined to step forward and sign the pledge,
aud the choir sang. Have Courage, My
Boy, to Say No."

Happenings of a Sunday i'm the
City of Oakland.

Milton B. Clapp, the Secretary of the Cali
fornia Title Insurance Company, who so
suddenly disappeared On the 18th, has been
discovered at the corner of Eight and Wash
ington streets. this city, dangerously i'll from
brain fever. He took a room there Wednes-
day last and on Thursday was taken sick
He sent for his wife on Friday, and she has
been with him since. His friend, Meyer,
has not yet been heard Of.
Hiram +. Allen, for whom a requisitlon
was sent out from New York signed by Gov
ernor David b. Hi and who was arrested
at the residence of his brother at FruitYale
on Saturday evening on a charge of grand
larceny of the second degree, states that the
prosecution is personal prosecution. He
says he was the Treasurer of a Sunday
school Committee, ana balance of SO,
held by him, was turned over to another
party before coming TO California. The
amount claimed by the prosecution is $40.
He came to California, he says, to procure
employment and not to eYade payment of
any sum OF money. He started last even
ing for Fulton County, n. y, in custody OF
Il. Gilbert, Special Deputy Sheriff OF that
county.

Cahil's engagement with Oakland was
sbort-liyed. This once peerless hitter and
fielder has seen his best days, and in all
probability now will be forced into perma-
nent retirement from the ball field.
Milt Whitehead has signed 10 play third
base for St Paul. He left for the East last
Friday.
The chances are that Clarke will wear
Frisco uniform for the balance Of the season,
since Chicago has signed Bowman, the Sac
ramento catcher OF last season. 1t seems
that Harris and the Chicago Club could not
come to terms regarding Clarke. This is the
second offer Harris received for Clarke, the
other being from the Denver club.
Selma, the old first baseman, who has been
ont of the field for some time, seems sud-
denly TO have come to the surface again
professionally speaking, he having signed 10

A WONDERFUL DOG.
Sent to Join McGinty, but Would
STAY Drowned.

Sent to Join McGinty, but Would Not
Stay Drowned.
A gentleman named Dorsey owned dog
that he was very anxious To get rid of, says
the Los Angeles Times of Saturday. Mr..
Dorsey, out of the kindness of his heart, or
something else, gave the dog to almost
everybody in his neighborhood, but the lit
tie animal refused to be treated in that
manner, and each time he returned TO the
Dorsey mansion bright and early the next
morning. Finally Mr.. Dorsey made up his
minditO get rid Of the dog, even If he had to
put him in his little grave. Mr.. Dorsey
secured a strong sack and sewed the dog up
in it. lie then attached lot Of heavy iron
to one end of the sack and chucked the
whole thing in the deepest hole he could
find in the river. AS the thing sank out OF
sight Mr.. Dorsey breathed sigh of relief,
and as he walked away he remarked: I'm
never be troubled by that blamed dog
again" He slept sound that night, and got
up in the morning feeling refreshed, but on
reaching the back door the first thing he
noticed was the despised dog, sitting on his
tail, smiling as sweetly as ever. " Is it pos
sible" CIRCULATED Mr.. Dorsey; i am sure
| killed that dog last night but there he is :;
or can it be his ghost?" and he called the
animal to him. He was soon convinced that
the dog was very much alive, but he is posi-
tive that spooks Of some kind let that dog
out Of the sack, as no human power could
have saved him. Mr.. Dorsey has given up
all hope of getting rid of the dog, and yes
terday he bought him fine collar and says
he would not injure him again for worlds.
