Francisco were plunged into battle early
Sunday morning. Ii was as II the enemy were
making surreptitious advance under cover OF
darkness and Uncle Sans soldiers were caught
mapping.
AT least the Inhabitants of Preside Heights
had such vivid pictures presented 10 their
imagination by the crash OF cannon ana shrlll
blasts of trumpetS that rudely dlsiurp ed thelr
sleep at 1916 yesterday morning.. Down
at The PresidO something extraordinary
was taking place. Cannon were fired, trumpet
calls sounded, and from d peaceful scene IL
was all changed instantly into one OF hustie
ana great excitement. Presently the military
post was aelow with lights, and the rattle OF
artillery mingled with the tramp OF cavalry and
words of command.
The excitement did not last long, Tor soon
again the Preside was quiet as before.
General Graham had sounded The call 10
arms" Desiring 10 tud out the proficiency OF
his men In riot drill, attacking and REFUSING
an invading force, and in order TO ind out the
time II would AXE for them to appear equipped
Tor hight when taken by surprise he gave or
ders that the call TO arms be sounded.
Tile General was highly pleased with the
manner IN which the troops turned out, and
says: THE promptness and alacrity displayed
far Exceeded my expectations"
Troop h was III line of action three minutes
after warning notes of the bugle. The entire
command turned out in less than five minutes.

They Meet the BOhemiaS
Once More.
And Win Very Easy Victory.
Richardson Makes Good Score.
Stratton Gets Hat.

The last cricket match Of the season between
the Alameda ana Bohemia Cricket Clubs took
place a: Alameda yesterday. and resulted in 4
very easy victory for tile cuphOders.
IL expected that the Robertso mans
would make a good fisht, al least. but, perhaps
owing 10 the easily effected downfall OF their
chief, and perhaps TO the imported strength OF
their opponents, they succam6ed in the most
inelorious manner, and were defeated by an
innings aud CT runs.
The Alamedas went in first. Richardson
played in his usual inimitable style, and scored
AZ without apparent effort. Hogue aud
MORTALITY both gave good accounts OF them
selves, their respective scores overlapping
either innings OF the BOhemlas The credit OF
the fielding work OF this innings must be given
almost entirely to Robertson, who not only
bowled magnifcenIly but took Young Wards
wicket with catch that was almost
phenomenal.
About the two batting essays of the
Bohemas tile least SAID The better Webster
alone made any kind of a stand, and none
reached double figures In either innings.
Stratton OF the Citrus Colony, who played for
Alameda, distinguished himself by doing the
hat trick" IN their second innings, getting

tive balls. The score:

Good Government Rests

A Lecture i'm Favor OF Free, Fair, In

dates for Office.

An intended warning to voters wayering be-.
tween their attachment TO party and their
desire TO elect tie right man for the right
place, Irrespective of any party influence OF any
description whatever, was delivered In a spir-
tied lecture last evening by Professor Fred
Bell at Metropolitan Hall.
The lecturer took very broad view OF the
political questions. His motto was Good Gov.
eminent by Good Citizenship" Therefore, the
only question was how o obtain good citizens
TO form this good aud almost ideal govern
ment? Was it by the establishment of any
narrow minded party with political views con-
centrated upon any ideas ,of religion? Was IL by
voting Tor mere names or was 1t by choosing
the right kind of individuals? The speaker
ventured to think that the latter way was the
only correct one.
con The character of individual members of A
whole the result depends" said Bell. "Iudi-
viduaI members OF "A home circle may destroy
the peace OF that home. Inc success or failure
OF this great republic depends upon the inIeg-

The speaker held that this free republic had

saved The Cogswell school. That was step in
the right direction.
Dangerous enemies OF reform. said the
speaker were men who were blessed with

AN HONORABLE CAREER.
Why ID. c. VI. GoOdseil Should Be
Elected Supervisor.

d. c. NJ Goodsell, Citizens Nom Partisan
nominee for Supervisor of the Ninth War;,
is just the sort of man that should be Sc
lected to make laws for our city. He is
tried and true and has upheld the cause Of
law and order in our city when the great
mass of those men called on to exercise
the franchise were mere children.
Nh. Goodsell is a native of New York
STATE and came to California in 1850.
Aw ay back in the fifties thieves and thugs
had possession of the city government,
aud all honest men had to unite TO eXpel
them.
Then it was when 10000 men became
members of the Vigilance organization
which rid the city of such men as Mac
GOwan, Yankee Sullivan, Casey and others
who were disgrace to mankind. Matters
were in pretty bad state then; they ara
IN pretty bad state now, and il Is right
and proper that MIR. Go0dsel, who has
peried his life to sustain law and order
should again come 10 the front To fight the
thieves; and it is right that the people
should know who he is and vote for him.
Nor IS his record confined to the past lie
Is the man who when the corporations
tried to shitk their work OF paving RAIL
road avenue, South San Francisco, came
to the front and saved the taxpayers OF
that section SIS O00-in fact saved the prop
erty from confscati0n. Such man should
receive the votes of all citizens irrespective
CT party. Mr.. Goodsell has grand record
and we expect to see his name at the head
of the poll for Supervisor. de Is the only
American running in his ward for office.

The manner of accomplishing her death
showed a determination remarkable in a
frail woman. Ii was done by winding a
common curtain chain twice around her
neck, throwing the loop over screwhead
which held clothesh0ok on the door and
suspending herself. In order to be sure of
strangulatiOn she stood on chair TO make
the final preparations. pushing it away
