the public censors who got together at the

it is that good custom that doth corrupt
the world. It's responsi Die for nine-tenths
OF the drunkards. But for the treating habit

One OF the most remarkable escapes from
death under the wheels of the local train
ever witnessed in Oakland was that of Mrs
Collins OF Center street last evening. As
the O'Clock train approached the Broad
way station she attempted to cross the
track. Tine engineer blew the whistle and
this so frightened her that she fell prone
across the rails. The train was suddenly
Stacked, but the cowcatcher picked the
woman up and showed her gently eff the
track. The engine and one car passed and
the Mortified spectators rushed out expect

slightly hurt.

continent has there been so many CONVEX

age, as there has been In this city," said
Evangelist Mills at the Mechanics Pavilion
last night.
And his statement was surely borne out by
the hundreds who stood upoat the after
meeting and confessed their acceptance of
Christ since these services were COM
menced.
They were of both sexes and of all ages,
from the youth to the gray-haired cid man

There were three meetings yesterday; at
midday in the Y. NJ. c. a. Hall, in the after
noon at the First Congregational Church
and in the evening at the Pavilion, and at
each the attendance was very large.
At the midday meeting the subject for
consideration was "What will you do
with it," To-day for the last meeting the
subject viii be "Why should the work
cease ?"
In the afternoon Mr.. Mills preached a
powerful discourse from the text, Genesi S
xxi. 26-29: 81 will not let thee go except
thou bless me-" He spoke Of the necessity
OF being honest and sincere in PRAYER; that
IL was better honestly 10 pray TO De flcn

In the evening the service was from Luke
Xiv:22, And yet there is room" 1t was

not be left behind.
At the after service, the last one TO be

All through the service there ran an cleo
trio current Of genuine Joy and thankful
ness.
There will be a midday service in the
\ Dung Mems Christian Association Hall
today; at 3 p. NJ. in the First Congrega-
tionai Church. and at 80 the farewell ser
vice in the Pavilion.
Mr. Mills at both the afternoon and even
ing meetings referred 20 the Rescue Mis-
sion Home, and urged all to come to to-
days meetings with very liberal hearts.

meridian will become standard time for the
whole German empire April 1, 1892 when it
exclusively will be employed for railways,
telegraph and all state purposes Already
several places in North Germany have
adopted the new time, and it can be only
matter OF few years for the simpler uni
form system TO acquire a footing for all
purposes of private life.
The number OF European time standards
is stated by DIR. Bussehere to have been "a

Will only be 13. OF these three are merid-
ional standards, while ten are the times of
capitals, viz: Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome,
Berne, Bucharest, Athens. Copenhagen.
Berlin and st. Petersburg, but the last, as
already mentioned, practically belongs to
the former category. 1t now remains only
for France, Spain and Portugal to adopt
western European time; for Denmark,
Switzerland and Italy to accept Central
time, and for Greece and Roumania to ioin
the other Balkan States in using Central or
Eastern time. and the change will be COM
plete.
Strangely enough, although foreign writ
ers tacitly assume that the British Islands
are at one in their time standard, there
exists In the United Kingdom diversity as
illogical as that which formerly reigned in
the States of Southern Germany. While
Great Britain and the small island groups
associated with it keep the time Of the III
ItIai meridian, now extended to Belgium
and Holland on the east, Ireland is regu-
lated by Dublin time. Thus it happens

standard time that of the ninth hour in

that the clocks which regulate the move
ments OF the Japanese are set nine hours in
advance OF ours.
India. Australia and Cape Colony re-
main independent in their time relations,
although so simple an adjustment as is re-
CURED might form graceful concession to
the spirit of federation without sacrifice of
local dignity.
