A MODERN OPERA STAGE.
Built In Many Sections Which Can BE
Moved Separately.

"They talk good deal about the stage
of the Auditorium in Chicago" said Neil
McGieghan, the carpenter at the Metro
politan Opera House. "They call that n
sectional stage, but they can't do with it
what we can do with this. Why, If they
want to lift up any part of the stage, they
have got to lift up whole section, clear
across. They can raise it up on level,
or they can tilt up one end or the other
to make an incline, but they can't lift less
than whole section. Now, if we want
to represent broken ground or rocks or
anything of that sort here, we can break up
the whole back part of the stage in any
way we like. We do it. for instance, in
the second act of Die Wakure'

presiding presidents OF the seventies draw SAL
aries and they are the only officers that do.
About two years ago the political question
was talked over in the Mormon priesthood
meeting, and the high ofhclals were then re-
ouested not to become political candidates
without first notifying the heads of the Nor
mon church; for the church did not wish to
have any of its salaried men make political
arrangements that would deprive the church
of their services.
The last Democratic convention nominated
one Mormon apostle as q candidate for Senator
and one of the presiding presidents of the
seventies quorum as a Congressional candi-
date.
At the priesthood meeting referred to, and
made so much of by the chairman of the
Democratic State committee, and which has
caused so much press comment, the authorities
OF the Mormon church simply reiterated what
they had said two years previously. In order
To illustrate the Importance of this stand, they
drew the members attention to the fact that in
case of the election of the two Mormon officers
who had accepted political nominations, the
church would lose their services. They thought
1t onlv lust that such salaried men should first
consult with their superior officers before
making any plans that might result in the
church being the loser.

Elder Rich addressed congregation OF
the church of Latter-day Saints i'll Pythian
Castle last night and explained the doc
trines of the church, its faith and teach
ings. He said that the teachings are from
the Bible and that there is nothing in that
book from Genesis TO Revelations that is
in conflict with the doctrines of the
church. He said that the church usually
called the Mormon church is the least un-
derstood and the most misrepresented
that it believes in God the eternal father,
in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy
Ghost, and that in order to obtain saliva
ton it is necessary to have faith, believe
in repentance for the remission of sins,
and the reception OF the Holy Ghost by
the laying on of hands.
He announced that two young men
whose names de did not furnish, had come
to this City to teach the doctrines of the
Latter-day Saints.

BERKELEY IS VERY DRY,
University Students Must Travel
Far Now for Refresh.
mentS.
Still Town Marshal Lloyd Is Receiv
ing Flattering Encouragement
in His Work.

BERKELEY, Nov. 1.-THE keepers of
the "Speak Easies'' of Berkeley, whose
places of business have recently been
raided by Marshal Lloyd and his corps of
deputies, have begun to feel as though
there is something of reality in the State
mile limit law and town ordinances after
all.
They have come to partial realization
that under tie present official regime they
cannot continue dealing within a stone s
throw of the university grounds and not
be molested.
Marshal Lloyd commenced his raid one
day about six weeks ago and before night
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-18

had confscated the goods of five illegiti-
mate dealers. He made several subsequent
raids, and, in two instances, found more
liquor in the very places where contraband
goods had previously been found.
From time to time the local press has
praised the work of the Marshal and his
subordinates but at mass-meeting of the
East End citizens last Thursday evening a
public resolution was passed commencing
his efforts in attempting to rid the town OF
illegitimate saloons.
Following is the resolution passed:
WHEREAS The renewed agitation against the
violators of the liquor laws of Berkeley has
called into prominence vigorous pollcy on
the part of our town officers, and there seems
to be a hopeful outlook that the laws will be
entirely upheld, therefore be it
ReS0lUed, By the people of Berkeley in mass
meeting assembled, that we heartily indorse
the courageous manner in which the Town
Marshal, Mr.. Lloyd, has enforced the new liquor
ordinances passed by an upright Board of Trus-
tees, and the able manner in which the Town
Attorney and his assistants have defended it
and Justice James has upheld, and we hereby
pledge them our earnest support.
Since the entire number of those ar
rested fall in the same category as to vio-
lation of the liquor law test case is being
made of George Stricken, one of the offend.
ers. He was tried and convicted in the
local Justices Court, but his case was at
once appealed to the Superior Court of the
county. The main points offered by the
defense are that the Justice Court in
Berkeley is at the present time unconsti-
tutional and that the judgments passed by
it are consequently invalid.
The legality of the liquor ordinances has
also been attacked.
The attorneys for the people are conf
dent that the right to hold Justices Court
In Berkeley Township is certain and the
ordinances are likewise legal.
The appealed case was argued before
Judge Frick in Oakland yesterday and the
attorneys given five days in which to file
their briefs. His decision as to the consti-
tutionality of the Justices Court and the
legality of the ordinance will be rendered
in about two weeks. Meanwhile Berkeley
continues to be very dry as result of the
Marsha1's raids

in every sense of the word. It's proprietors
are bright and energetic men and they ex-
pect to make their mark in Solano County.
James Coakley, who will look after the
editorial branch, is well-known in San
Francisco. He is a member of Alcalde
Parlor, N. S. G. W., and was for years on
the Bulletin. Some time ago he joined
the Vallejo Chronicle and his energy and
push did much toward infusing new life
into that journal He is also prominent
mem Der Of the Young Mems Institute and
it was mainly due to him that the last
meeting of the Grand Parlor was held in
Vallejo
Coakley's partner is Henry T. Stahl, an
other Native Son, born in Vallejo. Up to a
few months ago he was the editor and
publisher of the Tres Pinos Tribune, but
when he found there was an opening at
Vallejo he sold out and joined issues with
his lifelong friend. Both are practical
mechanics and printers.
The new paper is being launched under
the most favorable circumstances, and its
two Native Son proprietors have many
good wishes for the success OF their enter
prise.
