them to Oakland. where they are expected

Accordingly about an hour or more before
midnight the big fellows bade adieu to their
beautiful surroundings and were led through
the streets VIA Ellis and Market streets TO

las. ferry-boat leaving tile city and landed
safely at the Oakland Mole. whence the
silent march was continued TO Seventh and

MRS. SARAH ALTHEA TERRY.

Her Friends Will Likely Have Her Sent
to an Asylum To-Day.
The friends of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry
have evidentlyIcome to the conclusion that
in her present mental and physical state
she is too heavy burden in their care, or
that her condition has become so hopeless
that it were best to have her end her DAYS
where the proper care can be given to un-.
fortuEates afflicted as she now is.
Mr.. Porter Ashe, who has in various
ways befrended her since her troubles
after the Sharon divorce litigation, was at
the new City ball and in the County
Clerks office yesterday making Inquiries
concerning the mode of procedure regard
ing the commitment of insane people
But the hour was so late that it was
thought best not to proceed then, because
such a course would have necessitated a
removal of the patient from her present
place Of confinement until an examination
by the Commissioners could have been had
to-day. Moreover, Mr. Ashe said that ir
was not he that would make the complains
Tor Mrs. Terry's arrest, but Mammis
Pleasant.
1t is expected that Mrs. Terry's arrest for
insanity and as a person dangerous to be at
large will be had during the forenoon. aud
that She will be produced before the COM
mission and her case disposed of during the
day.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Father Montgomery Says the Remedy fo
COnf1icta Is Tamnarance.

rather Montgomery Says the Remedy for
Conflicts Is Temperance.
Father Montgomery addressed largo
audience of workingmen last night at Irish
American Hall under the auspices of the
Father Mathew Society.
In the course of his remarks, which wers
frequently interrupted by applause, the
speaker said: Temperance and total apsti-
nence are so closely allied that it may be
truly said that the child is father to the
man. The Father Mathew Society includes
only total abstainers. The League of the
Cross has nothing in conflict with such
principles. 1t simply aims to take care Of
young men till they attain the age of twenty
one. and then to hand them over to tha
other organization.
In addressing an audience of workingmen,
let me say the future belongs to them if they
Know how to use the opportunities which
Providence has thrown in their way. ALI
over the civilized world the tendency is to-
ward democracy, that is toward a repubit-
can form OF government, government by
the people. The doctrine of popular gov
ernment is travelling to-day all over the
civilized world at rate that Is simply
wonderful. NO power on earth can stop 1t.
But this rapid development has produced
crisis, not III this city alone, not in this
country alone, but everywhere. There has
grown up an idea that there is an un-
equal distribution OF goods in this earth.
1t is a very serious social problem and
Will have to be solved. In this country we
have had one bitter experience of the sword.
Legislation is the general way and the
proper way. Labor and capital, like man
and wife, are both wrong sometimes. The
question Will never be settled by strikes or
lock-Outs or arbitration. These measures
may settle local DISPUTE, but they are not
OF universal application.
You make legislators. invest them with
the powers of Office.
You wOrkingmen are in the majority as
to numbers. Those who own the wealth
hold the power Why2 1t is because A,
b, c, ID may be bought; because A, b, C, ID
have no conscience; because they will PROM
ise to be true. and when they 90 to the
Legislature or TO Congress they are ap-
preached with purse and they are reached.
What has these things to do with tee
totalism? L will tell you. Whatever tends
to lower the moral character and take away
the individual sense of honor, the sense OF
honesty, the fear of God, weakens mans
citizenship. SupDosing the vast majority
of US are good and honest there will still be
wolves in sleeps clothing who can be pur-
chased. and who will make us the slaves Of
an unscrupulous minority. If there is one
element more than another which degrades
men and renders such a Seryitude possible

brought at Boston is not considered serious
by the Directors. as they are advised by the
best counsel Obtainable that no case can bs

strengthen the position of the company
The Directors feel that they will be able to
