the Chinese at the California Jute Mills, near
the eastern shore of Lake Merritt, over the
disappearance of Quock zee, one Of the pro-
pretorS, with about 5000 due to the en-
ployes as weekly wages. Low Quon, the
other partner, arrived from San Francisco
soon after the men should have been paid
off, and found that zee had failed to pay
the wages. The Cinnamon were very much
excited and demanded their money from
QuOn. He made an excuse and gained time
enough to summon the police. 1t was some
trouble to make the MOngolians understand
that Quock zee had skipped out with the
money, and that QuOn was loser as well as
they The last seen Of zee was by family
living near the mills. who saw him with
sack a little before 3 o'clock in the evening,
going toward Oakland. The authorities at
San Francisco have been telegraphed to. II
is supposed he will try to get back to China.
On Saturday evening an Acknowledged son
Of Japan named J. Chung, who cooks at
the residence of the late Dr.. j. c. Tucker

the condition of Jack who fell down the
hill with a pail of water and broke his
crown, but somewhat similar lie had an
alteration with the Chambe rmaId and she
smashed large pitcher over his head, cut
ting it IN several places. The hospital
steward attended his injuries.
SERMON ON SATURDAY NIGHTS.
Rev. A. c. Bane Of the Asbury Methodist
Church South preached yesterday morning
an eloquent sermon on the evil influences of
Saturday night in California. Tie took for
his text "Watchman What of the Night?"
Isaiah XXi:l1 He called attention TO the
custom Of dividing the night in the oriental
Nnlr 10 too
often at o'clock in the first watch
there was the beginning of the So
cial feeling; at ten and eleven were
the QuaTTelsOme effects perceptlOle,
and at i in the third watch tile drunken
are put Out Of doors and sent 20 the lookup
or home; or there was the knife thrust or
the pistol discharge and the victim laid low.
This was the darkest picture he drew OF the
open saloon and the Saturday night. lie
believed that the Saturday night had more
to do with small audiences IN the churches
on the Sabbath day than any other cause.
The custom Of keeping the business houses
open on that q ight until 10 and IL o'clock
had a demoTaIZug effect on both customer
ana merchant, as well a on the clerks. The
aforementioned were required TO 40 day
and a haIf's work in the day, and cOnse-
Quently they went home tired out and Jaded.
Many young girl Clerking in a store was
SO tired out that no matter how much she
may desire she could not get rest sufficient
10 attend the Suuday-SchO0l or morning
service at church. Not only were the clerks
faded and tired, but the merchant as well,
because after the close OF business he would
have to look over the receipts and the ac-
counts OF what had been done during the
long day and evening. There was no ntces-
sity for this. He believed IN the hali-hohd1y
system, and If it were adopted IN California
II would be a great benefit to all lie be-
lleyed that If the stores closed other days at
O'Clock in the evening, they should also DO
50 on Saturday. More money was spent III
three hours on Saturday night than I'D any
three hours during the entire week. Ii the
Saturday night WAS spent this way and IN
balls and parties as was frequently the
case, 1t WAS no wonder that God cot very
little Of service on the sabbath
