END OF FATHER LINDSAY,
The Patriarchal Old Street
Preacher Goes to the County
Infrmary.
Peddled Spectacles and Exhorted in
Oakland for More Than Thirty
Years.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
QA9 Rrnadwau Nov 1G

Father Lindsay, "a years of age, has
been removed to the County Infrmary
there to end his days. One of the most IA
miliar religious characters in this city fol
the past thirty years has been Father
Lindsay, a member of the Methodist
church. He has not confined his labors to
the church work, however, but has worked
zealously in all kinds of non-sectarian
gospel missions, until every man, woman
and child in Oakland knows Father Lind
say, whose voice will never again be heard
in the streets.
Friday morning the county ambulance
carried the poor old man to the infirmary
to die. The scene of removing him was
pathetic in the extreme, and he rebelled
against going as did another aged Metho-
dist, Father Williams, a few weeks ago.
when being forced to go to Agnews Asy-
lum.
Father Lindsay begged not to be sent to
the infirmary, but the people who were his
friends were all too poor to provide for
him, and those who could have spared the
old patriarch the pain of dying in the
Almshouse were not present.
He was removed from 269 Ninth street,
where he has occupied small room, sub
sisting on what food he could buy with the
small proceeds from the sale of spectac les.
Two weeks ago his physical powers be-
came weakened from an attack of cholera
morbus and he could no longer pay for his
keeping, and all that was left for him to
do was to go to the infrmary as pauper.
He wept bitterly when he learned his fate
and asked that his old silk tile be thrown
away, as never again would he return to
Oakland to wear it.
AS the ambulance drove off Father
Lindsay cast last and lingering look upon
the place he had known as home for over
thirty years.
At one time Father Lindsay was well to
do in this city, where he lived with his
family. His wife and daughter lie buried
in Mountain View Cemetery.

STILL GOING WESTWARD.
Another Business Block Going
Up on Eleventh
Street.
THREE WITHIN ONE YEAR,
Commerce Marching On Where Trees
Grew a Few Years
Ago.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL


908 Broadway, Nov. Is.
Work commenced to-day on the main
ironwork of the new Blake business block.
The new building IS situated on the north
side of Eleventh street, between Washing
ton and Clay streets. This is the third
new block that has been erected west of
Washington street this year, and the I'M
petus of the westward movement is signifi-
cant of much greater growth in that dl-
rection.
The building of the handsom terra-cotta
offices of the gas company at Thirteenth
and Clay streets three years ago was looked
upon as a piece of folly. but since that
time several hundred thousands of dollars
have been invested within four blocks OF
it and big Improvements are still being
made. The beautiful new High School
that cost $4,000 was the next building to
go up, and since then there have been sew
eral others. At Eleventh and Clay there
is new hall and lodgerooms on the Nash
and Brown property that will be opened
by Christmas. Next to that is the three
story block owned by Mr.. Reed of the
firm Of Reed & Miller at Fourteenth and
Clay.
On Thirteenth street, between Clay and
Jefferson, several stores have been Quilt
and SHELLS Seminary has been moved to
the east side of town and the school build
ing remodeled for big hotel. Nearly all
OF these improvements have been made
this year, and soon after the advent of the
new wear the new Blake block will be COM
pleted It has 100 feet frontage right in
| the middle of the block and will be built
of pressed brick and Arizona sandstone,
with steel supports. The vestibule will be
| tiled and paneled in oak, the arch being of
| carved sandstone.
The first floor will be rented for stores
and the second story will be rented for a
hotel. The plans of F. D. Voorhees,, the
architect, are so arranged that when there
| is a demand for it third story can be
added.
The building, with two stories, will cost
$27, 900. Immediately to the west is the
well-known Blake Seminary, but it is a
| foregone conclusion that the old school
house, which was surrounded with trees
when built, will have to follow SHELLS to
some less valuable territory and give way
to the march of the business portion OF
modern Oakland.
The owners in the district north OF
Seventh street are now almost unanimous
in declaring that the abolishing of free
riding on the Seventh-street local trains
has done a great deal toward building up
the northern part OF town. While the
locals were free Seventh street was the
center of the city's life. Now the electric
lines on Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir-
tenth and Fourteenth streets have worked
great and beneficial change.

c. G. Nagle, attorney for Louis Muhlner,
informing him that owing to very serious
operation which he had undergone yester-
day he would be unable to proceed with
the case tomorrow and requested con-
tinuance for one week. 1t was handed to
Deputy District Attorney Lin S. Church,
who.had a subpoena issued compelling the
attendance of DR.. J. F. Morse, Nagles ply

his condition. If it is as serious as repre-
sented, the continuance will be granted.
The High School Teams Trip.
The Board of Education is not anxious
for the High School athletic team 10 go
East next year, and will withhold its sane
ton of the tour, although they cannot
prohibit it. At to-night's meeting OF the
board the matter was discussed at
length, and it was the opinion
of the directors that the prepare
ton for the trip will interfere too much
with the boys studies. The boys were
present and were given the use of class
room in which to hold a meeting next
Thursday to discuss the matter. They al
ready have nearly $1,000 subscribed or OBJ
tanned from the entertainments given for
that purpose. 1t is thought the boys may
be induced to abandon the trip, but there
is no disposition to do so at present.
Pickles at the Council.
AT to-nlghtS Council meeting the only
appearance of anything acrimonious was
several bottles of pickles and chow-chow.
There is an ordinance pending prohibiting
the manufacture of pickles within certain
limits on account of the alleged offensive
smell. The measure will particularly
affect one manufacturer and tonight
he appeared at the meeting. Attorney
A. A. Moore gave an address on the purity
and purifying quality of pickles, and the
maker passed around the bottle of pickles
and induced the Councilmen to taste and
be convinced that the best thing for any
community is to have pickle factory.
The matter was taken under Amusement
for two weeks.
The ordinance abolishing the office of
city murderer was finally passed tonight.
Pay Alimony or Go to Jail.
Brono K. Funke of Alameda and George
Nicholson of Berkeley were before Superior
Judges to-day trying to explain why they
had failed to pay their divorced wives ali
mony as ordered in the decree of separa-
ton. The former is a barber and the
latter teamster who owns his own horses
and dray. From the testimony brought
out the court considered they did not pay
because they did not want to. and gave
each just one week to come to time or in

ALAMEDA, Nov. ia reception was
given this evening by Colonel and Mrs.
Dickinson at their home in this city to the
ladies comprising the Woman's Press AS
ISOLATION of the Pacific Coast.
The visitors, who were gowned in dainty
evening dress, almost filled the hostess
spacious rooms. A number of gentlemen,
including Rev. Mr.. Davis, the poet
preacher" who con tributed a recitation,
were also present. Alfred Wilkie, the we'll
known tenor, pleased his hearers with sew
eral songs.
Miss F. G. Fulton, lady writer de-
claimed an original composition, entitled
1.-THE Overall Brigade" and last, but not
least, the amiable hostess. Mrs. P. L.
Dickinson. gave clever rendering of Mrs.
Browning's itMother and Poet.
Not word was said about DR.. Bovard
and the fateful punChbowl. On the after
noon that bit of Japanese ware was donated
to the Press Club by the newspaper women,
the ladies of the Press Association were
most of them celebrating Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's birthday, in Golden Gate Hall.
They disclaim any intention of seeking
to propitiate the Bovardian ire, or of de-
string to intervene in the affair at all.
They met together, they say, at Mrs.
Dickinson's for pleasant evening, and
they were not disappointed in their expec-
tations.
In addition to the songs and recitations,
Mrs. Ada Van Pelt made brief address.

BLACK-WATSON CONTEST.

New Georgia Registration Law, Which
VIII Insure Fair Vote and Full Count.
1t will be remembered that Majo
J. C.. C. Black, who was counted
in" as Democratic Congressman from
the Tenth Georgia district, sent in
his resignation several months ago,
on being satisfied that more votes
had been polled in his district than
was warranted by a just count. He
did this Notwithstanding the fact
that he appeared to have a majority
on the face of the returns of 1000.
Hon. Tom Watson was the Populist
nominee against him, and the fraud
against Watson was so plain and
clear that Maj. Black resigned that so
another election could be had. The
Populists renominated Tom Watson,
and the Democrats renominated
Maj. Black.
In the mean time the legislature
has passed a general State registra-
ton law, under which all elections
are protected by rigid regist, alton,
Witch registration did not exist in
the last election.
The Democratic committee has dis
cussed the situation, and determined
to render all assistance in its power tc
the reelection of Maj. Black. The
election takes place on the I'd of Oc
tober, and the registration closes or
the 1lth of September. The condi
ton precedent to registration being
the payment of taxes, the election
will be strictly fair one, and thu
better sentiment of the district has
determined that it shall be nothing
| else.

TINE WAR IN CUBA.
The Piueky Little island Making . Great
Fight for Independence.

The Island of Cuba is making a
desperate effort TO free itself from
Spanish rule. For six months or
more they have been carrying on q
magnificent fight against the Span
iards. The cause is oppressive tax
alton and tyranny of officers. There
have been some desperate fights and
and many fatalities. Since 1923 this
little Island has made five efforts to
throw off the grip of Spain. The
last struggle lasted from 1868 to
1876, and Spain was compelled to
send lao. 900 troops there to suppress
the Cubans. Many thousands of
troops have been sent in from Spain
during the last few months to put
down the present uprising, but the
plucky Islanders seem to have got
ten the best of it up to date.
Many Americans would like to
aid the Cubaps. but the United States
government has issued orders tha,
Americans must not interfere on ac-
count of the relations existing be-
tween this country and Spain.
Information has just been received
at Washington which indicate
that Cuba may win this fight. 1t
says that Spanish rule in Cuba can
not last many months longer, and
that the establishment of a republic
may be expected. This result will
be largely due to the attitude of the
planters, who are not anxious to
continue paying tribute to Spain, and
who, in fact, are unable to do so any
longer.
Some South American republics
are taking steps to recognize the
right of Cuba to fight for her inde-
pendence Many American people
think the United States ought to
have done this long since.

of Gold MoaometaiItsna.
Mr.. Henry B. King, q rich cotton
manufacturer of Augusta. Ga, son
of ex-U. s. Senator John p. King,
who was delegate to the Memphis
gold convention, is out in letter
declaring his conversion to bi-me
tallism. The following extract
ought to convert Others:
"The increased demand for gold
will naturally put mp its price, aud
il all other val ables are measured
by gold it will take less gold to buy
q certain quantity of other commodl-
ties, or more commodities to pur-
chase certain quantity Of gold. IL
the postulstes are true, is not the
corollary inevitable, that one who
burrows q pound of gold will, when
he comes to repay it, have 10 expend
more pounds of cotton, more bushels
of wheat, more days of labor, in
proportion "a the increased demand
for gold has in the meantime in
creased its scarcity? If 90, then the
present arrangement is all In favor
of the creditor and sgains. the
debtor, in favor of the rich against
the poor, in favor of the few against
the many.
Does history anywhere tell us of
any one untry whose people real! 4.
were prosperous where the working
classes were not contented, and do--
it not everywhere show us that
nations are invsribly preceded to
their downfall by a combination of
wealth and power in the hancs of n
few! Where the working classes
are well of the whole community ID
bound to be pr sperous and every
b DIV is happy.
We have the everyday experience
before us that vast fortunes can be
amsssed BY the few, accompanied
by great destitution among the
masses. And whea- -you think of it,
could any scheme possibly be devised
better calculated to transfer to the
ccffers of the few the little saving,
of the many than having to repay |,
loan in dearer money than Was Dor
