HEALTH LAWS,

Cold produces pains; carelessness, scanty
clothing and draughts bring on the cold
avoid them.
A pain in the back means disordered
kidney, often produced by cold.
~
A pain in the face, neck, head or chest is
too often neuralgia-hot applications are
beneficial and be sure to use joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla moderately.
~
Pains in the joints and muscles are rheu-
matte pains, produced often by exposure
and cold and cured often by the moderate
use of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
M
Pains in the bowels may mean disor-
dered liver, a cold in the bowels or chronic
constipation; if you use joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla these pains will disappear and
mean nothing.
Pains in the stomach spring from dis
ordered digestion and spring out again
when you use joys Vegetable Sarsaparllla.
~
Away with substitutes, they fill the
Golfers of the druggists and that's all.
~
Headaches, pains over the brow, pains at
the back of head, pains on the top of the
head or temple are relieved and completely
cured by Joy s Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
~
Pains in the shoulders usually mean a
torpid liver, but this torpid liver can be
made active by the use of joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla and the pains will cease.

Violent pains in the region OF the liver,
caused often from gall-stones, are relieved
by the use of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.

If you wish to use joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla, ask your druggist for it. If he at
tempts to substitute leave his place and
try another druggist. This is certainly
fair.

first" said the coach; "but it will not be
long before the men will be able to buckle
down to solid training. 1t may be found
advisable to have the team do certain
amount of gymnasium work each day be-.

or four days, and then we will have the
boys line up, for change. | think it ad-
visable to have the training table set
within about ten days, when the training
rules must be obeyed in every detail. 1t
will be our purpose not to allow any of the
men to know whether they will have a
place on the varsity eleven until the very
last thing, so no one can be said to have a
cinch on any position.

on the field TO be put through a course of
exercise for the first time under their new
trainer. They came from the gymnasium
in body led by Sherman, and following
close behind was Butterworth. AS he
came down the campus the Yale yell
poured forth from tie Threats of 500 stu
dents.
The time was spent in line work and in
falling on the ball. and at the close the
coach expressed himself as being favorably
impressed with the appearance and work
of the men.
Butterworth is 90 years of age, and
stands feet IL inches in his stockings.
When in perfect condition he weighs about
160 pounds.
Burned to Death.
The three-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.

before aid could reach him his garments
were burned nearly off. He died three
hours later.

END OF A CHURCH WAR,
Ebenezer Colored BaptiStS Give
Up Their Place of
Worship.
The Pastor From Texas Lost His
Power and Was Asked to
Resign.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !


OAKLAND OFFICE DAN L RANCISCO OALD,l
sos Broadway, Sept. "a.
The Ebenezer Colored Baptist Church
has gone out of existence, and to-day a
sign was nailed over the entrance to the
pretty little building on Sixth street stating
that the church can be hired for hall pur-
poses.
The church has had a varied and
romantic struggle for existence and has
had several pastors, but the last one has
gone and the building no longer resounds
with the lively choruses that have been
sung there for years.
Rev. MIR. McGuinn was the first pastor,
and after few months worship there was
a split in the congregation, the two factions
separating.
The McGuinn party organized church
on Sixth street, near Harrison, that has
prospered since, and is contemptuously
spoken of by the remaining Baptists, the
anti-Guinn crowd, as "McGuinn'S white
colored folks church."
Those left behind organized mission in
a hall on Seventh and Jefferson, and Rev.
George Gray was installed as pastor pro
tenn. until some arrangements could be
made to reorganize the church.
Two years ago Rev. S. H. Smith of Waco,
Tex. came to Oakland highly recommended
as a man who could 'revive spiritual
interest in dead churches, ana as most
wonderful tnancier.
This seemed grand opportunity for the
small band of worshipers, and Mr.. Smith
reviewed the situation, and concluded to
become pastor of the Sixthstreet church.
The church was reprinted, an organ put
in, and seats that outnumbered the con-
gregation four times or more. For few
Sabbaths Mr.. Smith preached eloquent
sermons to about score OF people, room
full of empty chairs, and kept serene in
spirit all the while. Ere long the little
church was filled to overfowing and many
white persons were pleased to listen TO the
sermons of Rev. Smith, who proved him
self good preacher. At the height of his
prosperity Rev. Mr.. Smith begun to lose
his power over his people; they accused
him of being too sharp after money!"
Then another difficulty arose; the neigh
bors began to object to the lateness of the
hour the enthusiastic meetings were held,
sometimes as late at NJ, and the shout
ing and singing was considered nuisance.
Mrs. w. +. Delaney, the wife of the
Oakland correspondent of the Elevator of
San Francisco, considered the late hour
services such a nuisance that she person
ally circulated a petition in the neighbor-
hood to that effect.
Matters went on from bad to worse I'M
til the church refused to recognize Mr.
Smith as its pastor, and stopped his salary
of $40 month. Still he hung on until no
one went to church, and he carried the key
in his pocket while the overdue rent kept
accommodating.
The deacons and other officers came to
the point where they saw plainly that
some action must be taken. They called
a meeting, where the final trouble culmi-
mated by Rev. Mr.. Smiths resignation be-
ing asked for and received.

POTRERO EXTENSION.
City and County Attorney CresweII's
Advice to the Supervisors.

City and County Attorney Creswe11's
Advice to the Supervisors.
City and County Attorney Creswell has
handed the Board of Supervisors an opin-
ion, advising them to drop the suits hing
ing on the Potrero extension.
There are two cases at bar on the ques-
ton: Helen A. Landers VS.. the Board OF
Supervisors, and A. G. Weber ct al. VS.
Street Superin Iendent Ashworth. Each
suit was brought to prevent the extension
of Potrero avenue, from Serpentine avenue
to Army street.
In discussing the matter, Attorney Ores,
well said:
The proceedings for the extension of Potrerc
avenue were based upon an act of the Legisla
lature, approved March %, 1898. The consti
nationality of this act must be examined Il
determine the validity of these proceedings
By the terms of the act OF the Legislature it i!
made applicable only to any municipality o.
city, and cities and counties containing &c, 00(
Inhabitants.
The constitution of the State permits the
Legislature, by general law, to classify cite:
and towns in proportion to population.
In furtherance of this permission the Legisla
ture by general law approved March 2, 1888
classified the municipal corporations of the
State. By this act there are six classes: the
first class having population of more than
100, 900; the second class having population
of more than $4,000, and not exceeding 100,
600; the third and fourth, fifth and sixth
classes each of less population than the third
class. By this act of the Legislature there Ii
no class containing 10000 Inhabitants and
over.
The Supreme Court of this State, in the case
OF Darcy VS.. Mayor of San Jose, held that al
act of the Legislature creating q class o.
municipality different from that created by
the general law and legislsting for it would be
SPECIAL and unconstitutional. Judge Slack
held, in following this decision, that the act
approved March %, 1898, was special legisla
tfon and unconstitutional, and that no pro
ceediDgs under IL had any validity.
my he decsion of nSoe saes chi IL
would result only in an expenditure of money
by the City without any benefit arising there
from to the City.
If the Supervisors adopt this view of the
case all the street extension commissions
may be revived.

the prospective purchasers may want it.
1t is thought that the land is wanted as
terminus for the new electric road to Llv-
ermore.
May Buy "The Times"
Il. b. Pomeroy, well-known business
man and journalist, is one of several par
ties now negotiating the purchase of the
Morning Times. Mr.. Pomeroy spent sew
eral years In the newspaper business and
has since been engaged in the real estate
business and at one time was one OF the
leading men in the enterprise of the Dayie
Ferry Company.
Change in the Street Department.
The Board of Works met tonight and
made an unexpected change in the street
department. Charles P. Visher, second
deputy of the department and chief
assessment clerk, was discharged and
Clarence Bretz was put in his place Bretz
IS son of ex-Assemblyman Aaron A.
Bretz of Alameda, and like his father, is a
Populist. Visher has held the office for
three years.
A Singers Complaint.
W. ]. Batchelder, a teacher of vocal mu-
sic residing in San Francisco, has brought
suit in the courts of San Francisco for a
divorce from his wife. Mrs. Olive Reed
Batchelder, the well-known singer of this
city.
Desertion is the charge, and there is no
dispute over the fact that Mrs. Bachelor
left her husband over a year ago.
Cyclists Must Ring Whistle.
Street corners in Oakland tonight are
places to be avoided, if possible. The new
ordinance requiring bicycle riders to ring
bell or blow a whistle every time they
pass corner went into effect to-day. The
police were specially ordered tonight to
see that the new rule was enforced, and as
result hundreds of whistles and gongs
are being used, and the effect and noise
entirely defeat any useful purpose that the
ordinance may have been expected to pro-
mote. Hundreds of wheelmen are on the
streets. and 80 per cent, including large
boomer contingent, have provided them
selves with whistles.
Visiting Oakland.
Fred G. Wilkins of Baltimore, son OF
Colonel George C. Wilkins, first vice-presi-
dent of the Washington. and Southern
Railway, is staying in Oakland, the guest
of E. E. Bunce, the real estate dealer, zoos
Broadway. Mr.. Wilkins is young man
who has travelled much through the States
and his visit here combines business and
pleasure.
