SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL.

The Rev. DR.. Hemphill made a special
address to young women Sunday night in
which he manifested some characteristics
of the temperament which he ascribed to
women. Extremes were in woman

when good, and nearest to devllhood when
bad. is woman" Then he turned his at
tentiOn TO the society girl, otherwise the
younger members of the Four Hundred.
He thought three years would do the aver
age society girl ND. In that period Of time
she would be taught all the small vices
consistent with respectability, and while
still young In years would be old in feel
ing, disillusioned with the world, faded,
jaded. and in general terms wreck.
Mr.. Hemphlll seems to have gone to the
extreme in depicting the consequences of
a dip into the social swim. Most of us
know young women who have taken this
dip and come out without harm. After a
short period they get tired of excess.
There have even been cases of graduates
who have returned to simple pleasures
with zest. They find more things of in
terest out of the swim" than in 1t. 1t
should also be credited to society that 1t is
the source of moro charities than the
hard workers find time or means for.
How many of our matrons who have had
twenty years or more of this life which
is represented as consuming its votaries in
three years are the directing spirits of
homes for the friendless, kindergarten
schools and kindred institutions ?

informed people in the country at large

Cameron, but neither owes the degree of
notoriety he possesses TO his career in the
Senate. The Senators from Nevada and
Colorado have MADE themselves promi-
nent by their work. They owe little to
their State but the fact of election.
When Senator Hill makes speech the
Senate sees six million people behind him.
Cameron hardly ever speaks. but when he
does the great State OF Pennsylvania is
being heard. But Nevada and Colorado
have between them fewer electoral votes
than the single city of New York. May

STILL FENCING IN OAKLAND.

What may be the intention OF the
Southern Pacific with regard to the large
slice of tile eastern side of tb bay which
it is in these calm days industriously pilng
in has not yet been divulged, but if the
company is not interfered with it may
easily make a kirk or mill' of these
valuable submerged lands between the
ferry mole and the north wall of the Oak
land Creek. A line of piles has been
driven right across from the north to the
south, and the rectangular space thus in
closed is perhaps not less than a mile
square. AT an ordinary state of the tids
it is portion of the bay quite navigable.
but near the shore it is bare at low tide.
There were two large schooners yesterday
at anchor we'll within the line of pillng
and a whole feet might find anchorage
just as easily. A breakwater is quite teas
ible of construction between the mole and
the north harbor-wall, and then the whole
area could be drained, filled in and made
the foundation for city or for vast fac
tory establishments. The effect OF such a
change on the rest of the bay would be
understood In time.

WINEMAKING AT VIVA.
The Work Commenced at the Big
VINEYARDS on SATURDAY..

A gentleman connected with the man.
agement of the Stanford estate, and who
returned from the vineyard at Vina yes
terday, says that winemaking was COM
menced there Saturday for this season.
The estate has already sold over 1000
tons of grapes this season. most of which
have not vet been delivered. The picking
of the fruit was purposey delayed so that
It might attain the full degree of ripeness,
although a heavy rain now would ruin the
crop.
Some days tho shipments of grapes to
Sacramento, where most of them GO, will
average 100 cars, but the work is very
much retarded by the difficulty expert
enced in getting boxes.
As to the amount of wine which would
be made this year the informant was un-
able to state, but the prospects are now
that 1t will be very large. There is now
stored at Port Costa 200, 900 gallons of
wine belonging 10 the estate. This repre-
sents 5000 barrels. 1t was thought to be
ton hot at Vina for the proper storage and
care Of the product, and so this large
amount was transported to Port Costa last
spring and stored in warehouse rented
for that purpose. The experiment has
proved TO be gratifying success. as the
wine Is reported as doing very nicely.
The report of the French experts at the
Worlds Fair, rendered a few days ago. is
source of a good deal of satisfaction to
the managers of the estate. II stated. in
effect, that this brandy ages slowly. is
without a superior in France, and at 90
years OF age it would equal, if not surpass.
tho most famous brands of Cognac.

A WHEAT DOLLAR.

:. Mr.. Thomas A. Edison suggests wheat
dollar in the place of dollar Of either gold
or silver. He says that a, bushel of wheat
can be eompr ressed to the size of a silver
dollar, and that when wheat dollars be-
come more plentiful than bushels of wheat
the wheat dollar may be literally put in
soak and thus restored to its original con-
dition. Mr.. Edison thinks bushel of
wheat would be a fair unit of value, and
would comply with the requirement that
money should possess a value apart from
lis use as money. Whether Mr. Edison is
j. In earnest in this suggestion or expert
menting on the credulity of a newspaper
. interviewer is not easy to determine. II
" the world were new with all Its present
stock of knowledge wheat might be made
unit of value. But with $1,000, 700, 600
of gold and silver in the world in the form
Of money there are weighty arguments
against change. One can only speculate
as to the intrinsic value of gold or silver.
The Commercial value of the two metals
is determined by the combined forces of
intrinsic value and money value. The
metals have a certain unknown value as
metals. This is multiplied no one knows
how many times by the use of the two
metals as money. Centuries of experience
have impaired to both gold and silver the
value they hold to commodities and to each
other. Mr.. Edison says the people demand
a dollar that:represents dollars worth of
labor performed. This is one argument in
favoreof silver and gold. Both metals rep
resent labor performed. Ii there is any
doubt of this let capitalist and laborer
start out in search of either gold or silver
They may go ever so we'll equipped in re-
.spect: to- skill and science, energy an
muscle, but they will be fortunate if they
do not. find that a dollars worth of gold
costs dollar in labor aud a dollars worth
of silver quite as much in its legal ratio as
dollars worth of gold. There is, in
fact, no cause TO find fault with the basis
of ealr currency. The only trouble Is that
being composed OF two metals the idea has
been conceived that If one of the two
metals could be eliminated the other would
rise in commercial value.

THE PER CAPITA TAX.

The Dominion Government has passed
an order In council which indicates that a
per capita tax is as much of a discrimina-
permit. The true meaning OF this order is
that China will not protest against per
capita tax on its people, but will make
any further discrimination against them a
matter of controversy. The Chinese are
philosophical nation. They do not resent
an insult which does not prevent them
from getting where they want TO go. Their
treaty with Great Britain places them on
a level with other nations, but they waive
the spirit OF the treaty 50 that the letter OF
the law does not rule them out of British
territory. The thrifty Canadians put the
per capita tax in their treaty and land
their Chinese where they can be most
easily run into the United States. There
is one point of consideration from which
the immigration of Chinese into Canada
to remain there is matter of much intsr-
est to the American people. There are
great influences at work to procure free
trade between Canada and the United
States. A number of so-callet American
journals favor the proposition. 1t is in
line with what is known of President
Cleveland's free-trade principles. Now if
free trade between Canada and the
United States should be established, the
Chinese coolie would be as we'll off in Can
ada as in the United States. He could
live in the country which only charges
him a small admission fee and send the
products of his labor to the country which
won't have him at any price.

in Trouble.
Considerable difficulty has been expert
enced by shippers of grain and produce
on all Western roads for some time past in
sending the goods forward promptly. This
has been due to the immense passenger
traffic, those trains having the right of
way, and thus causing much detention of
freight.
Some trouble is said to exist in perfect

way com bine, due to a disposition on the
part of the management of the Ferries and
Cliff House not TO enter into the deal on
the basis of the allotment III ade them in

SAN PABLO RANCH
The Litigation Is Almost
at an End.
The Report of the Referees to Be
Filed in Judge Hebbard's Court
This Afternoon.

The case which has grown to be con-
sidered by the legal fraternity as the
"Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce" of California is
at last in a fair way to be settled.
1t was in the year 1867 that the now
famous dispute regarding the immense
San Pablo rancho first appeared in the
courts. and for over quarter Of century
the case of Emeric VS.. Alvarado into which
it resolved itself has dragged along through
legal highways and byways.
During these years many who were In
volved in the original action have been
gathered to their fathers. leaving it to
their heirs to carry ON the struggle which
they began.
The last two years alone have seen the
death of no less than seven of the litigants.
but those who have weathered the storm
SO far can now see the 'beginning of the
end"
This afternoon Mr.. Curtis Fl. Lindley
attorney for the referees, will file his re-
port in Judge Hebbard's court. The re-
port, which consists of $50 pages. consists
mostly of descriptions of the different tracts
and Subdivisions as they are finally al
lotted TO their several owners. Fully 1900
people are now living on the ranch and
will be affected directly or indirectly by
the final result, but the general impression
is that the partition has been at last salts
faciorily accomplished
Judge Hebbard has fixed December ]

much talked of suit will be ended.

partition sets off in severalty to the nearly
