DIR. ZOLLICOFFER's ADDRESS.


DR.. D. B. Zollicoffer, of Northampton
county, delivered a strong and eloquent
address on temperance. He spoke with
an ease and an earnestness that showed
him to be familiar with the Temperance
question in all it's phases. He recited
many of the arguments of the advocates
OF the liquor traffic by which they
claim to do good to the world because
of the financial strength of the business ;
but for every such argument he gave a
stronger against it, showing by cogent
reasoning that the evils which follow
in its train far outweigh the advantage
that can come to any one through the
traffic. The address was able and elo-
ouent annd impressive throughout.
DR.. A. r. Zollicoffer, of Weldon, fol-
lowed In some very pointed and we'll
timed remarks. DR.. r. A. Patterson
also made some remarks that were en-
joyed by the Association.
Names of new members we're taken,
numbering in all oyer fifty.
Rev. J. H. Frizzell offered resolu-
| ton Of thanks to the committee on pro-
gramme for their efficient work. Also
thanking DR.. Zollicoffer and others for
| the good and instructive addresses,

ed thanking the community for the
hospitable entertainment Of the meet
ing.
President Troy announced as the
committee to nominate new officers at
the next meeting, d. T. Cook, w. F

The meeting adjourned.
The people of Aurelian Springs and
community showed great interest in
the meeting, and the temperance cause
already strong there, was greatly en-
couraged.
The meeting was most harmonlou:
and every one seemed to enjoy it from
first to last.
"Is it in any way political?" was ask

TO MAKE ART PRACTICAL.
Wilbur A., Reaser's Plan for
Helping Young Art
Students.
He Believes That Too Much Time Is
Spent in Painting Easel
Pictures.

Wilbur A. Reaser has a philanthropic
scheme for smoothing the path for
young artists, and he intends to put his
ideas into execution at the beginning of
the new year.
A long residence in Paris and other art
centers has led him to the conclusion that
more easel pictures are painted than can
possibly be sold ana that, on the other
hand, good deal more applied art could
be consumed than is now produced.
That young students may have their
attention turned to such branches of art as
wall decoration, tapestry, stained-glass,
modelling, etc., he intends TO throw his
studio open to them once week and give
them talk on current art topics, in order
to familiarize them with the best modern
painters and decorative artists, whose work
they do not see here, and record of
whose deeds has not yet reached the circu-
lating libraries.
At these afternoons it is intended to get
men and women from the working classes
as models, who will be induced to pose
with the utensils and tools which they use
in their daily work. The idea is to give
the students an opportunity OF studying
the composition and massing OF still life
in genre painting, as well as the move
ment of igures at work. A weIl-known
local decorator and an architect intends to
help Mr.. Reaser in giving the weekly
chats, which are intended TO guide the
students thoughts into the practical and
the applied in art. They will receive no
remuneration for their services, as the
scheme is philanthropic one, but they
will have the satisfaction OF helping stu
dents to put their art to practical uses.
Speaking yesterday of his proposed class,
Mr.. Reaser said: at always strikes me
as extraordinary that people think artists
must devote their entire time to painting
easel pictures. We do not want to drag
the commercial into art, but there are nu-
merous other legitimate branches of art
which have more practical value than the
multiplication of painted canvases which
probably will not sell. Some of the great
est masters havelpainted frescoes; tapestry
is worthy of any artists attention.; so is
stained-glass work. In Paris We had such
class as propose to open here, and the
students took very kindly to the practical
side of arr"

on BOARD THE PERRY.

There was q sudden rush for the boats on
board the revenue cutter Perry last evening
about o'clock and quick pull for the Fol-
som-street float No smugglers were sighted
nor was there any deseruon OF the ship be-
cause Of rumors of her unSeaworthiness. The
cause OF the departure for night from the
pretty revenue craft was the wedding of Lieu
tenant George G. Carmine of the vessel TO Miss
Minnie Gertrude Campbell daughter of J. c.
Campbell of Oakland.
Lieutenant Carmine's fellow-oflicers attended
the ceremony in a body, and although the
wedding was private, there were a number of
well-kuown naval and revenue officers present
TO witness the nuptials.
George G. Carmine ranks as second lieu
tenant in the service and is great favorite,
not only on his own ship, but on all the other
craft of the revenue fleet He is young man
and q promising one. He was for some time
attached TO the cutter Corwin and has always
been looked upon thoroughly competent
officer. one whose services are valuable TO his
country.
Mrs. Carmine nee Campbell is as we'll
known in Oakland as any OF the fair bellies OF
the Western Athens. She is pretty and accom-
pished. Her engagement TO Lieutenant Car
miEe dates back year or more, It's said.

JUSTICE TO MRS. CURRIE
Her Trouble in Regard to n Thousand
Dollar Transaction With James
Mclean.

Some time ago Mrs. S. E. Currie caused
the arrest of James Mclean, who is some
times called ''Dr." Mclean, on charge of
felony embezzlement. Mclean was held
ut the preliminary examination, but at
the time the charge was dismissed in
Judge Wallace's court, a. P. Black, the
Assistant District Attorney, announced
that though it was apparent Mclean had
imposed upon Mrs. Currie and had OBJ
tanned the $1,000 in question from her by
misre presentation. yet it would be I'M
likely that jury would convict, owing to
the fact that in receipt for s., careiu fully
prepared by Mclean, which Mrs. Currie
had signed. the words ION account of
loan" appeared. This, Mr.. Black ex-
planned, might in q strictly legal sense
change the character of the transaction
from that of principal and agent to that
of creditor and debtor, while he believed
Mrs. Currie had been induced TO sign the
receipt without approaching the technical
effect of the quoted words, l. e., ION ac-
count of loan"
1t seems that before the dismissal of the
case was had Mrs. Currie effected a settle
ment with Mclean. This was done by the
consent of Mr.. Black, who informed her
that she was at liberty 10 effect settle
ment Of the civil claim as long as she did
not thereby compromise the criminal
charge. The settlement was for S5o0-Sl00
cash and S4uo installment prom:ssory
note. The latter Mclean has since re
pudiated. and it is probable that Mrs. Cur
RE will shortly take some action looking
to the recovery of the money.
At the time the charge was dismissed an
article appeared in THE CALL which APP
parently did Mrs. Currie an injustice.
Hence The CALL makes this statement of
facts in justice TO Mrs. Currie.

Thomas Ryan was sent to the County
Jail for ten days by Judge Low yesterday
on the charge of disturbing the peace.
The charges of indecent conduct against
his wife and c. L. Candy were continued

Ryan's domestic troubles have occupied
the attention of Police Judges for several
weeks. He had Candy arrested for alien
ating his wife's affections and the case was
dismissed. Then Candy had him arrested
for perjury. and as he apologized to
Candy in open court the case was dis
missed.
Ryan then went to Vancouver, B. c.,
and sent dispatch 10 Chief Crowley that
his wife's mother was dying in hotel
there, and asking the Chief to get her and
her boy to leave st once. 1t was only a
ruse on Ryan's part to get his wife away
from Candy.
1t failed, and he came back here on Fri
day. He hunted up his wife and found
her living with Candy. row followed
