REV DR.. MACKENZIE DELIVERS AN
ELOQUENT ADDRESS TO HIS
PARISHI0NERS.

THE PREACHER DESCRIBES THE
NEW POWER VESTED IN THE
Son OF MAN.

The Rev. Dr. Robert Mackenzie preached
at the First Presbyterian Church at Van
Ness avenue and Sacramento streets yes
terday morning on the "True Spirit of
Christianity, taking his text from Luke
9; 1856 He said in part:
The Christian church is thinking in these
days of Christ's last journey to Jerusalem,
which led to his crucifiXion on Good Friday
morning and his resurrection on Easter. On
that last journey he patiently instructed His
disciples in the nature of his power and the
manner OF spiTit in which it should be exer-
cised. The lessons he taught them are for the
perpetual admOnition of the church II might
be well to turn for little while from cate
chisms and creeds and listen to his own words,
and from maximum Christs and minimum

Gems Found in Paris.

The director of Kew Gardens, lecturing
at the London Institute on some curiosi-
ties of tropical plant life, said that among
these were the pearls found occasionally
in the cocoanut palms of the Philippine
Islands, pearls which, like those of the
ocean, are composed of carbonate of lime.
The bamboo, too, yields another precious
product in the shape of true opals which
are found in its joints. In each case this
mineral matter is, of course, obtained from
the soil. The natives of the Celebes use
these vegetable opals as amulets and

OAKLAND'S COUNCIL
CHANGES TONIGHT.
MATTERS WHICH THE NEW MAYOR
WILL CALL TO ITS
ATTENTION.
THE ANTI-SALO0N CRUSADE.
DAWES FIGHT WITH THE SOUTH
ERN PACIFIc-CoHEN's FAILURE
WAS EXPECTED.

The members of the new City Council
will take their seats this evening, presided
over by Oakland's new Mayor, J. L. Davie,
and the public is looking forward with in
terest to the message which he will pre-
sent.
AS the Council is like the retiring body,
largely Populistic in political complexion,
and, in fact, composed of majority of the
old Councilmen, there is a feeling that the
policy pursued will not be largely at vari-
ance with that of the old board, though
the views of the Mayor on certain subjects
are certain to make him antagonistic to
some of the measures recently adopted by
city fathers.
The ordinance recently passed giving
James Taylor & Co. the privilege of erect
ing coal-bunkers on Franklin-street Wharf,
with dockage facilities on the same struc-
ture, is particularly Objectionable to Mayor
Davie, partly on account of the incon-
We nience the docking of the Golfers causes
his freight boats Emma and Mare Island
in reaching their warehouse or the City
Wharf, and also because the Merchants
Exchange is out in opposition to the grant
ing of the privilege. The message may
con tain some strong references to this sub
ject
Another matter which the Council will
be called upon to take cognizance of is the
movement now on foot to close Oakland
saloons on SUNDAY. The ministers of this
city have organized for that purpose and
will make determined fight to gain their
object. Mayor Davie and number of the
Councilmeu who were elected on the Popu-
list ticket were pledged by the convention
which nominated them to continue the
fight against the Southern Pacific on the
waterfront issue, and the chief executive
will doubtless make pointed illusions to
this point
Cohen's Failure Was Expected.
The news that Edgar A. Cohen of Ala
media. "a son of the Southern Pacific attor-
ney, who died some years ago, had filed his
petition in insolvency did not create great
surprise in Oakland, as he was known to
be much embarrassed financially some
time ago, and the fact that his mother re-
fused to step between him and his cred
itors further harassed him. 1t is said that
he has been arranging his affairs for sew
eral months past with view to settling
with his creditors through the insolvency
court. His liabilities footed up 1891, 431 &c.
with assets nothing.
