ABOVE SUSPICION.
Oakland's Mayor COM
mends the Council.
Pardee Also Condemns the Board
of Public Works as a
Disappointment.

OAKLAND.-Mayor Pardce's annual
message TO the City Council was read last
night at the Council meeting.
The Mayor commends the Council as
follows: you have been in Office one
gratulate you and the city of Oakland on
the work you have done.
"Your path has not been strewn with
roses. Your political enemies and the
partisan press have done everything that
in them lay TO bring discredit and disgrace
upon you. Your every action has been
closely scanned by eager and INSCRIPTIONS
enemies, who have not hesitated to resort
even to falsehood TO convince the people of
this city that you have not administered
the affairs of the city with honesty, fidel-
ity and wisdom.
Yet. II spite of the efforts of those
whose enmty you have incurred because
you have deprived them of their pass keys
to the public treasury. you have estab-
lished the fact that it is possible to elect a
Council in the city of Oakland that is not
NJ managed by the railroad, the water COM
pany, the saloons and the bosses. For the
first time in many years Oakland has a
Council that is above suspicion and one at
WuiEU uuEtI VI 5OUtn CouhOt UC
pointed. For the first time in many years
it is not disgrace to be member Of the
city's legislative body. For the first time
in many years there has been no scandals
connected with the management OF Oak
lands public affairs"
The message then goes fully into the
work of the Council for the past year,
commencing ii for its work in connection
with the water front, the public printing.
health, fire and police departments, street
opening, etc., and winds up with the fol-
lowing caustic scoring of the useless Board
of Public Works:
81 think l echo the sentiments of nine
out OF every ten of the people of this city
when | assert that the Board of Public
Works has been disappointment and a
failure, and that the sooner the taxpayer
is lightened of the burden of a useless and
unnecessary Incubus the better 1t will be
for the city. l therefore recommend that
you Immediately take the proper steps TO
call O special election to submit to the
electors of the city an amendment to the
charter doing away with the Board Of
Public Works. i am convinced that such
an amendment would meet with the aD-
proval of the great majority of the people
of the city, though the professional pollti-
clan will undoubtedly vote against it,"
The Oakland Council last night finally
passed to print the ordinance assessing
telegraph and telephone poles. The ordi-
nance as originally introduced fixed the
tax at S5 per anDum on each pole. and
Councilman Dalton fought hard to keep it
at this figure, but was outvoted. the COun-
Gil reducing the tax 30 So 80 for each pole.

LAY PREACHING.
A Paper on the Subject Before the
resbyterian Ministers.

Rev. Mr.jMarquis Of Rock Island was
q visitor at the meeting of the Presby-
teran Ministerial Union iu the rooms of
the Occidental Mission Board yesterday
morning. Rev. w. ID. Nicholas was also
present. he having returned from his trip
to Honolulu, to which place be went a
couple of months ago on visit.
A paper was read by Rev. |. w. Dins-
more. DID,. of San Jose on Lay Preach
ing." After speaking OF the great revival
of all forms of lay agency and activity in
the church now so apparent. he said there
is a growing number of men. aud women
TOO, who are getting 1t into their heads
that they have call from the Lord to
publish his gospel to larger audiences than
those of the Sunday school class and the
PRAYER and conference meeting So they
aspire to do so In the pulpit, or the plat
torn. or wherever else they can get stand
ing and hearing.
The lay element Is power which should
be developed and encouraged At the
same time it should be controlled and
properly directed. so as 10 keep ii within
bounds and prevent 1t from drifting into
error.
DR.. Dinsmore LOOKS with dsfavor upon
the self-constituted imitators of the few
lay evangelists who proved successful in
revival work. and thinks the church should
select the right sort of men, and after pre-
pairing them for their duties should send
them out to do this kind IF work, so as t.,
render this class of persons referred to
unnecessary.
Rev. DIR. Breck said that in three years
more, ii he lives that much longer, he will
have been in the ministry fifty years, and
he brings down with him. perhaps, the
prejudices and the conservatism of half a
century ago. He has, however. gradually
but slowly cast off some Of his DR. ejudices,
among them those concerning WOmen's
work. and such movements as the
Y. Nj. e. A.. the Christian Endpavor So
ciety, etc. He gave Il very interesting ac-
count OF evangelstic work among the iD-
habitants OF ,he mountain region of Ken
lucky. in which State he formerly lived,
and presented some remarkable Incidents
showing the results of such work.
Next Monday Rev. DIR. Ketchum of
Berkeley will read a paper on The King
