CHIEF LLOYD'S new PLAN
He Gives a Testimony" While
Investigating a Com
plant.
THE PASTOR WAS SURPRISED.
Thanks Given That Oakland'S New
Official "Is Free From the
Rum Power"

Oakland's new Chief of Police has
adopted plan of investigating reported
nuisances that is unique in the city across
the bay. A new gospel mission has been
opened on San Pablo avenue, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, next
door to a saloon, and before it had been
running week the saloon-keeper visited
the Chief of Police and told long tale of
woe, of how the singing annoyed him and
the open-air meetings were a nuisance,
and the loud talking Jared OH his sensitive
ears and so forth.
do they draw off your customers?"
asked Chief Lloyd, who is very religious
man. The saloon-keeper would not admit
that his customers exercised their discre-
ton to that extent, and again complained
about the nuisance. The chief said he
would investigate the matter.
The new mission is being conducted by a
Mr.. Young, an earnest man who is sup
ported in mis- work by some of the churches.
He is somewhat enthusiastic, but did not
Immediately discontinue his work when
he knew it was not acceptable to his
nelghbor.
Thursday night gentleman stood up.in
the mission and gave pleasant little talk
and gave a testimony that greatly pleased
his hearers. Before sitting down the gem
tleman, who was not known to any one IN
the hall, said: "A man came to me ana
told me that this mission was a nuisance
and that it disturbed his peace and that
of the customers who frequent his saloon.
As Chief of Police of this city it was my
duty to investigate the case, SO | came
here tonight for that purpose. | have OBJ
served your manner of holding the open
air service, and | have carefully listened
to the speaking and singing, but do not
find anything that can be called nuisance
providing that the service closes within
reasonable hours. l would like to remind
you that there is an ordinance prohibiting
loud singing or offensive talking in public
places after IL o'clock at night OF course,
that applies to a religious service as well as
To dance-hall.
II would advise the parties having this
place in charge not to hold their open-a
services right in front of the adjoining
saloon, but short distance from it. OF
course you have right to do as you please,
but it is always right in my Judgment not
to create needless opposition" Chief
Lloyd then Withdrew from the meeting.
In his concluding prayer, Pastor Young
gave thanks that Oakland sis at last
blessed with Chief of Police over whom
the rum power yields no influence"

WILL BORE FOR COAL OIL,
Company Formed to Test the
Petroleum Fields of Contra
Costa County.
Light for San Francisco and
Oakland.

The long.mooted question as to whether
or not the oilields of the Miner farm in
Contra Costa County contain deposits in
paying quantities is about to be tested. A
company to be known as the Contra Costa
Paratfine Oil Company has been recently
organized, with capital stock of 81 ,O0O, 900,
and the active work of boring a well will
begin within very few days. The officers
of the company are: George w. Cum
mings, president: Alonzo P. Bacon, secre-
tary: J. J. Scoville, treasurer; and these
three officers, together with Frederick Hill
Ter and Herman f. Hitler, will constitute
the board of directors. The stock OF the
company is divided into 10000 shares of
$40 each, and sufficient of the stock has
already been subscribed for operations to
be commenced upon a sound basis.
1t has been known for years that de-
posits of petroleum existed on the Miner
farm. which is situated four miles north of
Berkeley near DE Laveaga station, on the
California and Nevada Railroad, and full

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Ex-Secretary Bennett Having a
Hard Time to Make a
Living.
The Diamond CycIers Hold Their
Initial Smoker-Encinal Yacht
Club Free-for-All.

Charles R. Bennett, the ex-secretary of
the Suppression of Vice Society, who came
very prominently before the public on this
side of the bay on account of shooting
ARRAY with old man Gray, is again in hot
water. He has been in the courts defend
ing charges growing out of the affair in
which his name is mixed up with that of a
young woman, with no credit to himself.
He has been twice convicted, and still his
case is pending on motion for new
trial, with probable petition for change
OF venue, as he claims the prejudice of the
people against him is SO intense that he
cannot have fair trial.
The San Francisco Savings Union re-
Gently brought suit against BennetG for
5000 rent, and recovered judgment with
costs. A writ of restitution was issued and
placed in the hands of local constable
for service. 1t was the first experience of
this character the constable had to deal
with, and he was not pleased with the
prospect of turning the mother, who had
been outsworking all day to help keep the
wolf from the door, and her two children
out on the street. However, the constable
lost nothing by being humane in delaying
execution. The agents for the bank tele-
phoned and received an order to delay
execution until the 10Th inst.
Encinal Yachtmen JubiIant.
The annual free-for-all regatta of the
Encinal Yacht Club took place yesterday
afternoon over the inside course. This
course is much better than the old one, as
it keeps the racing yachts always in sight
OF those on the clubhouse wharf. Ell Sueno
sailed over the course to test her sails since
they have been altered, and handled her
self in manner that pleased the yachts
men of the Encinai Club, who think that
she will successfully defend the cup against
the Queen. The Thetis won the free-for-
all on time allowance.
Diamond Cyclers' Smoke Concert.
The Diamond Cycling Club held its
initial smoker-eoncert last evening in
Blanding Hall. A large mum Der of visitors
from Oakland and San Francisco were
present and participated in the festive oc-
casion. 1t was az entirely impromptu
affair, no programme having been ar
ranged, but the enthusiasm manifested
made the occasion grand success.
Another Suit for Damages.
Seymour Arada has brought suit against
the Alameda and Oakland Electric Rail-
way for the recovery of $3.50 so damages
for INJURIES sustained by being elected from
car for refusing to pay second fare. He
alleges in the complaint that the conductor
assaulted him, causing him to be sick and
sore in body and greatly humiliating him.

A DeIicate Litmus Paper.

Chemists will be interested in the an
nouncement by the Chemiker Zeitung OF a
delicate litmus paper giving sharp reac-
ton. Commercial cube litmus is extracted
in percolator with distilled water, the
extract being evaporated down to the same
weight as that of the litmus used, ana
mixed with three times its weight of 90
per cent alcohol. The mixture is then
calculated with hydrochloric acid and
allowed to stand for two days. The azolit-
mine will now be precipitated in the
shape of brown flakes, the dull violet col :
oring matter remaining dissolved in the
alcoholic mother liquor. The precipitate
is collected on filter and washed two or
three times with calculated water, until
the family reddish co1ored filtrate gives
pure blue with ammonia. The Azolitmine
in the filter is then dissolved in distilled
water containing few drops of ammonia,
the solution diluted to three and half
times the weight of the litmus or ginally
employed, exactly neutralized, and mixed
with 10 per cent of alcohol in order to
make it keep better. Prepared thus the
tincture is found to be an excellent indi-
Gator the change from red to blue, and
vice versa, being perfectly sharp.-New
York Sun.

have been published at numerous times,
but capital has been 10th to speculate in
the uncertainty of an adequate develop
ment of the field until now. The recent
success in boring for oil at Los Angeles has
had much to do with the interest capital is
now taking in the Miner tract
The Miner tract contains 612 acres. The
indications of oil deposits. which nearly
every portion of it present, are analogous
to those of the Bradford and Bolivar dis
tricts OF Eastern Pennsylvania and West
ern New York before they were DEVELOPED
into tie greatest oil producing regions of
the world. The tract is traversed by a
small stream much smaller but not I'M
like the oil creek OF those regions, and on
its surface can be seen the same irridescent
oily scum that made the inhabitants of
Bradford and Bolivar say, long before
we'll was sunk, that there must be coal or
coal oil somewhere in the vicinity.
tits therefore just possible that with de-
yelopment the Miner oilfields may be the
means of furnishing cheap fuel and light
for Oakland and San Francisco, for,
should sH the deposits which undoubtedly
exist, prove to be large, the oil can be
pumped direct to both cities at a cost to
the consumer of not more than one-third
the present price.
ANALYTICAL Chemist A. A. Cunningham
has examined some pieces of shale that
| were taken from the BANKS OF the stream
| that flows through the Miner tract. He
| said the samples were subjected to a par
ticularly rigid test, and that he found the
petroleum they contained to be of the very
! highest quality, having paraffine basis.
| 1t was his opinion that drill would re-
| veal an artesian well, bed of coal, coal
| oil or natural gas, and that If it was the
| latter he believed it to be of nature that
would render it available for illuminating
purposes as we'll as heating. The petro-
! leum having a paraffine basis would make
| its utility of double value, as 1t could be
made into naphtha, gasoline and benzine.
| In the estimation of Mr.. Cunningham the
| indications he has seen are of incalculable
| jmportance to this section of the State.
e. M. Hoagland, an oil expert, who has
had wide experience in the Pennsylvania
oilfelds and who has bored most of the
successful oil wells OF California, said yes
! terday that he considered the Miner tract
prospect as fine as any he had ever seen.
! He will be connected with the proposed
venture, and is enthusiastic in his antici-
pations.
The company has secured ten years
lease on the 612 acres of the tract, upon an
agreement to pay royalty of one-eighth
| of the product to the owner. A Beal
| Prospecting Core Drill, the same as those
used In sinking oil wells in the East and
the only one in California, will be set up
or the property in few days, and then it
will be known whether or not the Standard
Oil trust will have a rival in California.

Bailey and Church. The bond refunding
scheme was also condemned The speakers
were A. A. Bretz and Green Majors. The
attendance was small.
The Garbage Crisis.
The Mayor relieved the distress of the
citizens Yesterday by making an arrange
ment with the Health Board by which the
soayengers will be permitted to dump at
the foot of Kirkham street, and the street
department will cover the refuse with
sweepings. This plan is to be followed
till the Council disposes of the matter at
the meeting on Monday night. Several
owners of arematory patents have applied
to the Council! for the job OF building
garbage crernatory.
Stole the Collection.
Rev. Father Alfred conducted services
in the Catholic church at San Lorenzo last
week, and after he had concluded he went
to Redwood Canyon to officiate. He left
the San LorsnZo collection in the church,
and when he returned in the afternoon
stolen the contents. 1t is supposed the
Offering amounted to about $40.
The Tax Levy.
Owing to the necessity for garbage
crenatory and the pressing needs of the
Fire and School departments, the Auditor
has estimated that the tax levy Of last
year, which was 81 IL, will be increased to
81 90. Should the bond rounding be de-
feated on the 31st the levy will be as high
as 81 So.

The first indications of wasting vital force,
the first evidence of weakness, may mean the
total collapse Of all sexual and mental vigor in
few years. 1t is dangerous to treat this SYM
tom with indifference, to suppose thatit means
nothing. 1t means q great deal. 1t is the fore
warning of complete exhaustion that is coming.
1t tells Of the result past folles, excuses and
over-exertion of mental, physical or sexual
powers. 1t means that you are beginning to
FAIL and swift is the course of destruction once
started. Like the serpent's warning, it should
urge prompt action. Effective means of check
ing the waste and restoring the power lost can
be found in electricity. Vital force, animal
magnetism, is infused into the failing nerves
an6 organs from DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt. It
gives steady, soothing currents of1electricity
into the weak parts, reviving the Vital powers
and restoring healthy and vigorous man.
