The Republican notion of justice is ex.
pressed in a system which violates the

favored individuals and classes; which
strips the many of their earnings to swell
the gains of a favored few which IL
censes the few to rob the many, anti
abets the robbery with the whole power
of the government. The Republican idea
of justice is embodied in q system which

Strange Cannons of Stone.

The most wonderful cannons on rec
ord are those which are described by Bry-
done, whose travels in Sicily and Malta
won well-deserved renown toward the end
of the last century. Many facts and stories
he recounts that seem strangely old-world
to US, though the date is little more than
100 years ago, so grandly did the French
revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders more or less
droll while the knights held it, but nothing
equalled the stone guns. Everybody
knows that the Notifications were cut out
of solid rock, but Brydone was right in
saying that kind of ordnance used to de-
fend them was unknown to all the world
besides.
As we understand his description, the
knights left great block of stone where
they followed out an embrasure in the cliff,
which afterward they shaped and bored
in the form of gigantic mortar. These
engines contained a whole barrel of gun
powder. That shoveled in they plugged
it with great piece of wood, fitted exactly
to the bore, as wadding, and loaded up
with cannon-balls, shells and other deadly
materials.
About fifty of these remarkable guns
commanded the spots which hostile ship
was most likely to approach. 1.-THE
mouths of some are six feet wide, and they
are able to throw 10000 pounds weight of
balls or stones" The range is not stated,
but the falling projectiles covered an area
of over 800 square yards.-Chicago Times

0AKLAND'S HEAL BOARD.
Mayor Davie Made Appoint
mentS That Astonished
the Allopaths.
HOME0PATHS ARE IN POWER.
Drs. Curtis and Rogers Are Sue
ceeded by Drs. Selfridge
and Larkey.

The Okland Board of Health was given
day evening and the board is now in full
possession of the homeopaths and the allo-
paths are sad.
Late yesterday afternoon DR.. Rogers
and DR.. Curtis, two of the recently ap-
! pointed homeopaths, handed their resig-
nations to the Mayor with the request that
they be Immediately accepted. The
| Mayor had evidently expected this move,
for he had the appointments of their sue
cessors already made out His new mem
bers were DR.. ]. NJ Selfridge and DR.. A.
! S. Larkey, both well-known homeopaths.
These two, with DR.. Bradley, who was APP
! pointed few days ago. form a majority OF
the board.and will control the patronage.
| DR.. Curtis says that he resigned because
he had signed Paul Schaffer's petition tc
| be retained as secretary of the board be-
| fore changes took place. To fulfill his OBJ
| legation to the Mayor for his appointment
| he would be compelled to'vote for Schaf-
fer's dismissal in case such matter was
brought up, and the only honorable way
out OF the position was to resign.
1t is expected that a special meeting will
| be called this evening, when the changes
| desired by the Mayor and which were frus-
trated by Drs. Shuey and Beckwith
will be carried out Paul Schaffer's head
will fall and e. W. Thurman, who was
ousted to reinstate the old secretary, will
| be returned to the office. DR.. Mayor will
| give way to DR.. Rogers as health officer,
and Sanitary Inspector Smith will be su-
perseded by some friend of the Mayor.
1t is not improbable that the Mayor will
be called upon to fill two more vacancies
on Monday, as Drs. Fisher and Akerly,
the two remaining aIlopaths On the board,
are being urged by their friends to resign
at once.
| The situation is likely to be further COM
plicated by Secretary Schaffer, who will
not give up his position without a fight.
| He was appointed for year and believes
that under the law he cannot be removed
without cause. He will probably refuse to
give up his Office if ordered to do so by the
| board and will take the matter into the
| courts.

Grass Fire at Piedmont.
BERKELEY.

Will Schmidt the street contractor, has
got himself into squabble with the Town
Trustees and K. G. Easton, another con-
tractor. The trouble arose on last Friday
evening when the bids for grading por-
ton of Shattuck avenue were opened before
the board. Schmidt's bid, as Clerk Hans
com read it, was 371z cents cubic yard for
doing the proposed work, while that of
Easton was 80 cents. In accordance with
the custom that street work should go to
the lowest bidder Easton was awarded the
contract. Schmidt made no complaint at
the time of the reading of the bids, but on
the following day endeavored to make his
friends believe that the seven was one,
and that his bid was 311z cents per cubic
yard rather than 3719 cents.
The figures have been examined by seve-
raj prominent business men of the town,
who declare that the figure following the

the little fellow was living with his parents
on st. Clair street in the above-named city,
and was as bright and happy as boys of
his age usually are. Herman has hand

that the only parts of his anatomy
that are covered with common hui

and feet and that the other portions of his
body are literally incased in tiny, dark
blue fish scales. From the neck to the
ankles this wonderful coat of mail so
thoroughly covers the body that not the

pressive, beginning with an organ volun-
tary by II. NJ. Bosworth, The intro
ductory remarks by the president, James

General remarks were made by John
Letter, P. G.. of Sargent Lodge No. 1858.
This lodge was singularly fortunate during
the year 1894 in not losing member by
death.
Memorial tributes consisted of simple
recitals of leading events in the career OF
each departed member, and mention OF
strong points of individual character dis
played in and out of the lodge. In the
lives of the men whose memory was re.
vered many examples were cited of true
courage, tender charity and alert human
sympathy.

OPIUM FACTORY SEIZED
An important Discovery is
Made by Internal Reve-
nue. Agents.
The Factory Was In Full BIast-Two
Out of Five Chinese Ar
rested.

All jung and Wong Chung are in the
County Jail charged with the illicit manu-
facture of opium. They were caught in
the act of preparing the drug at Irvington
by internal revenue agents who went there
from San Francisco last Saturday. At the
same time the entire paraphernalia of a
five-furnace factory was confscated, and
with it nearly thousand pounds of opium.
The arresting officers were Chief Deputy
internal Revenue Agent Bert NJ. Thomas
and Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Cavan.
The factory has been under surve illance
for some time past, and Thomas was only
awaiting a night on which it would be in
full swing to make a raid. Everybody
connected with the revenue agents office
knew that the factory was located some
where in or near Irvington, and that it
was in full blast twice week, but
on what particular nights no one knew ex-
cept the Chinese themselves.
On Saturday afternoon the much coveted
information that considerable quantity
of crude opium had been shipped from
Chinatown to the factory was given to
Agent Thomas and he accordingly de-
termined to try his luck that night.
He and Cavan caught the last train, and
getting off at Niles, drove in a buggy to
their destination. The factory was found
IN the rear OF Chinese laundry, and there
the two prisoners and three others were
hard al work. The latter escaped through
a back door and disappeared
The five furnaces were all at work, and
in the pans over 100 pounds of the drug
was cooking. Over 500 5-tael tins were
packed and ready for shipping, and large
quantity of half-cooked stuff was found in
buckets. The plant is the largest and
most expensive that Agent Thomas has
seized for long time. All Jung and Wong
Chung will be taken before United States
Commissioner Heacock to-day and hand
ed over to Marshal Baldwin.

LATE SPORTING EVENTS,
The Olympic Oarsmen Want
the Club to Buy Them
Two New BargeS.
Many of the Prominent Sporting
Men AWay-A Ball Game for
Next Sunday.

There is a lull in sporting interests just
at present
Many of the members of the leading
sporting clubs are out of town on their an
nual hunting and fishing tours, and little
gossip is heard about the clubs that does
not have some reference to improbable
sized bear, panther and elk, or unaccount-
able catches of fish and suckers incident
ally.
Several of the Olympic Club members
shouldered rods and guns last week and
hied themselves to sylvan solitudes and
ripping brooklets in the mountains of
Sonoma, Napa and Santa Cruz, and for the
nonce the most enthusiastic sporting sup
porters are absent Just when they are most
needed to help the boys of the oar out in
their effort to procure barges. Since the
Olympic men won the barge race against
the AGNES, Pioneers and Dolphins last
Sunday, considerable interest in boating
has arisen in the club.
The oarsmen of the club who are men,
bers of the winning crew-R. McAdams,
F. Grimm, T. Martin and Martin Giltlen,
coxswain-are confident of inducing the
club to subscribe literally for the barges.
If successful scull and barge racing will
constitute a popular department of the
club.
The Olympic Baseball Club will meet the
Pacifics on the diamond in Vallejo next
Sunday.
Manager Kennedy is confident the op-
portunity is ripe for renewed enthusiasm
in the National game, and he says if there
were any suitable grounds here he would
guarantee to bring out crowds to every
game. This, he thinks, was shown at the
scrub game at Central Park few days
ago. when the gate receipts amounted to
nearly a hundred dollars, without adver-
Using.
