FOR COAST DEFENSE.
A Suggestion by Lieutenant Comm and eli
,Jscob w. Miller

A sugge stiOn by Lieutenant Comm ander
Jacob w. Miller.
Lieutenant Commander Jacob w. Miller
of the Naval Reserve Artillery, New York
State, urges in the October Forum the for
nation of "a Naval Militia aud Naval
Reserve" which shall render our weak
coast defenses much more secure than they
are now, and also tend to dissem-
mate the spirit of patriotism among
the people His suggestion that
amateur naval organizations put
themselves into relations with the navy is
an admirable one. Every city on our sea-
board" he writes, every town upon our
lakes, has its club and its feet; the discipline
is above the average; the system excellent;
the majority of the crews American, and
hardy with the oars and sails; the owners
Influential and ready 10 fraternze
and learn from the Academy grad
yates; and yet the navy, prior to
the last twelve months, has done
little to turn this pastime of the people into
the channel of patriotic duty" 1t is to
these organizations that Commander Miller
looks for the best material out of which to
form a naval reserve. But naval militia
is also necessary. These might easily be re-
cruited from the naval battaliOnS formed by
the States. The personnel" says Comman-
der Miller, would probably be composed
of the officers and employees of the steam
ship companies, persons who have been in
the navy, electricians employed in marine
work, tug-boat men, yachtsmen and others
whose tastes lead them toward the water.
The formation OF the battalion would be on
tile basis that is used in the regular service,
the unil being the gun division Each of
nately in the varied and interesting drills
Of man-Of-war."

EpiscopaliGns talk Of erecting a chapel to
accommodate, their increasing numbers.
Flourishing lodges of several leading orders
are in existence. The school-house, an en-
craving of which is given, would do credit
in Efficiency as well as in architecture to a
city 1t was built a year ago at a cost of
$4,000. There are four teachers, and the
attendance will soon compel the addition OF
others.
THE TOWNS LOCATION.
Lorin has grown up at the intersection OF
Alcatraz avenue and the Berkeley local rail-
road, Alcatraz avenue being leading cross
town thoroughfarr. The site OF the town Is
high and well drained, being eXcelled in
this respect by none of its neighbors, as it
occupies the low divide between adjoining
streams. Within the year the Oakland and
Berkeley and electric road has also been
completed through the town, thus making
LUTil exceptionally favored in the N cans of
ready access to central points. Fares to
Oakland are but cent, while the rate to
San Francisco is the same, provided one
takes advantage of the system Of commute
ton tickets. All these things have combined
TO give L0rn more than a mere local im-
portances. 1t is also a cistributinglpOint,

COUNTY HOSPITAL.

Complaints Against the superintendent
for Turning People Away.
Dr. Healy, Superintendent of the County
Hospital. says that lie finds it very diff
cult thing to please everybody. When he
admitted any one that was sent or applied,
and kept him until he died or was ready to
leave. he was accused on all sides of
boodling the Institution, because 1t was so
expensive So strong were these suspicious
that he had to undergo Investigations from
time to time.
BY the aid OF new rules OF the Board of
Health he was finally able to reduce the at
tendance to a minimum, and for the first
time within the history OF the institution
keep expenses within the appropriation.
Now comes protest from the Health Off
Ger. because lie wont return to the former
regime, take in everybody that comes, run
the attendance up to 4S0 again and keep in
mates as long as they care to remain.
The d ct0r d es not try to excuse any
mistakes he may have made in turning peo-
pie away, and he says he will take all who
come if they will bring the cost of keeping
with them.

JAPAN AND CHINA.
Latest Occidental Exchanges by
the City of Picking.

The City of Picking arrived last evening
from China and Japan, bringing Hong
Kong exchanges to September 10th and Yo-
kahama dates as late as September 24th.
From these the following summary is made:
Japan.
The most interesting item of news is that
the Government has determined TO buy up
all the private railways, but there is strong
opposition to the proposal within the Privy
Council.
Mr.. Mutsu, Minister of Agriculture, has
resigned his seat, his resignation having
been accepted September 18th.
Japan, more especially the western por-
tion, has been visited with severe typhoons,
which cut off all telegraphic communication
for days together. The Japanese training
ship TSukuba-kan was reported ashore on
the 9th, the British bark Argos II total loss
and the Cape City dismasted, besides which
several small Japanese steamers and num-
bers of junks have been lost.
Troubles between the japanese and the
natives are reported both in Korea and
Quelpart.
A rumor is current, says the Japan Mail.
that Mr.. Miyoshi, Vice Minister of the Jul
dcia Department, will be appointed Minis
ter to Germany. his place being taken by
Mr.. Matsuoka, President of the Toxic Court
of Appeal.

denied scale. According to the Kokumin
soy merchant and secondhand jewelry
dealer residing at Okazaki, BuYomachi Ava
Province, for four years carried on his Illicit
manufacture of these old gold coins before
the fraud was detected. He was arrested
in June last in Kobe and is now undergoing
his preliminary examination at the Kobe
Local Court, but the court proceedings are
being condu ted with such absolute secrecy
that little can be learned of the facts of the
case. 1t is stated that the man had thirty
seven accomplices, of whom eighteen are al
ready under arrest.
During the month of October the lmpa-
rial Mint al Osaka will commence thu coin
ing of nickel coins TO the value of 100000.
HOronai coal mine in the HOkkadO,
belonging to the Tanko Railway Company,
was the scene of au alarming fire last
month. According to the reports in the
native papers, fire broke out about o'clock
by the wood supports in the mine. The
place and exeTted themselves TO eXtinguish
the fire, which travelled further and further
into the mine, flames shooting up from the
pit mouth. Finally the flames were got
under control, and it was then found that
number of the miners had tainted owing to
the hot air and the ventilatOrs being closed,
four of the men being so seriously affected
that recovery Is considered hopeless. The
fire is said to have originated through some
of the conyictS in the mine using lights
carelessly.

GOLDEN GATE
AND LORIN.
Two Very Pretty Places Located
in Alameda County.
Sketch of the Suburb LAID Out by C, A.
Klinkner-Lorin Near Berkeley-Eenry
W. TayloT's Lumber-Yard,

Golden Gate and Lorin are neither OF them
incorporated towns. The latter is situated
almost midway between Oakland and Berk-
eley, while the former lies between Lorin
and Oakland. They are both charming
towns, possessing characteristics largely in
common and with almost equal advantages.
It is impossible to draw a contrast between
them, but there are minor differences which
will incline the opinion Of the visitor toward
one or the other. Their destiny is probably
the same-some day to be absorbed in the
city of Oakland, and while losing thus their
identity to gain in exchange the benefit OF
police and fire protection and all efficient
system of sewerage, One thing is certain
that, whatever comes they will always re-
main the beauti full and favorite spots they
are. Neither Of them is older, so far as
town is concerned, than four or five years,
yet in that time a truly wonderful trans
forming work has been DONE changing the
fields and gardens of other days into macad-
amized streets, lined with trees which shade
handsome and substantial residences As
would naturally result from such an advance
ment, prices of real estate have been in
creased with steady and almost startling
rapidity. Lots that sold for $500 then are
now commanding 5000 and 500 This is
for residence property. Business sites have
advanced much more. When one looks at
the vast amount Of improvement in the way
of buildings, roads, sidewalks, railways.
etc, done, however, one ceases to wonder at
this increase; and when one thinks of the
further works of a similar nature that the
future will bring forth, the wonder is that
property-holders continue 50 modest in their
askings. The future Of this section is ex-
eeedingly bright.

few months ago, says the China Mail,
the Empress Dowager issued an ediot order
ing a temple TO be built on the shores of the
TAPPING Lake to the memory of tho late
Prince Chun. The building is progressing
rapidly and tits expected will be completely
finished by the middle of the eighth moon.

A serious riot occurred at Ichang on
September ID. A child was sent to a con-
vent and then an outcry arose that it had
been stolen. A mob collected, the Catholic
and Protestant missions were burned and
all the foreign property was destroyed.
The Chinese authorities then intertered and
the rioting ceased. Several Franciscan
sisters and one of the fathers were badly
hurt

foreign powers, who seem determined to
insist on the opening of Human and the sup

helpessness of the Chinese Government is
becoming more and more manifest. The
discomfort Of the Human soldiers who have
been disbanded for financial reason is the
chief cause of the uneaSinesS.

A disastrous fire occurred at Marking
about ten days ago, destroying one hundred

The Shanghai Mercury says: Though
happily the cholera has not had so many
victims among foreigners this year as lasf.
still the disease is quite prevalent enough
among the Chinese to cause the Municipal
Council to look after the sanitation of the
settlement, and especially of the outlying
roads around HOngkew, much better than
they are doing.
From native sources, says the Shanghai
Mercury. we learn that his EXCellency
Vceroy Ii Hung-chang has presented the
Empress Dowager with steam-launch. 1t
is to serve as a pleasure boat, and it went
for the first time to the Running Lake on
the 10Th of last moon. The launch is very
nicely fitted up and handsomely decorated.

such is the actual case. The story of lis
rise Is an interesting one, and gives anew
vivid picture of what American energy can
accomplish on this fast-gro wing Pacific
Slope. There are good and substantial rea-
sons, however, for this rapid growth. No
point on the mainland side of the bay pos

situated as it is on the gently sluping lands

MAGNIFICENT LOCATION.
Golden Cate lKlirkneryiile) has sprung
up al the crossing of san Pablo avenue By
the Berke ey local line Of railroad, and is the
first station on that line after 1t leaves the
water front. The run from it to the ferry

A sALUBEIoUS CLIMATE.
Owing 10 the fortunate location of the
town on the gently Nlop.ng ground fronting
the Golden Gate, it is blessed also with
climate unexceied for bracing and health
fui qualities The drainage is natural and
perfect in character, aud the supply of pure,
InviEOrating air can never be cut off, coming
as It does freshly every afternoon directly
from the Pacific Ocean.
1t Is, therefore, no wonder that so many
men Of business in san Francisco and Oak
land have been led to carry their families
away from the narrower streets and more
confined atmosphere OF the cities to tha out
door life and enjoyment of a neat cottage
or residence in this beautiful suburban
town. They have been the more led to This,
however from the fact which, after all, is
undoubtedly one Of the chief recommended
tons Of the town, that Golden Gate has had

Foremost among these IL is but just to men
ton Mr.. c. A. klinkner, who in more than
one sense is the father" Of the town. and
indeed has given it a name quite as widely
and as appropriately known as that Of
Golden Gate, namely that of Klinknervilie.
Kinkner is a man of tireless activity and
bOundleSs courage, a good business man, a
useful citizen, and a great advertiser; one
who makes enemies, it is true, but his
friends are warm ones, and he IS remem-
beTed for many an act of generous assist
ance which might have been neglected by
those who decry him loudest.
Mr.. klinkner laid out the Klinknerville
Tract in what Is now the center of town
less than three years ago, and at once began
the erection upon il of the fine KlnknerYille
