The police will keep the dumps clear,
they say, from this time on. They are of
the opinion that Dumpville furnished too
convenient a rendezvous and place of
concealment for all manner of undesirable
outcasts; that midnight marauders
dwelled there, sleeping by day in their
huts and devoting their nights to foraging
and offenses which the law frowns upon.

FAVORS NEW WOMEN.
Rev. William RAIDER Speaks in Their
Behalf in the Third Congrega-
tional Church.

An eloquent plea was made for the new
woman last night by the Rev. William
RAIDER at the Third Congregational Church.
Mr.. RAIDER declared that the new woman
occupied the position she did as reformer
because, recognizing the needs for I'M
provement, she had more courage than the
men, and dared to demand that wrongs OF
which she was cognizant be righted.
The reverend speaker touched partlcu-
Iarly upon woman's connection with re-
ligious and charitable works. He called
attention TO the fact that the societies for
the amelioration of the condition OF the
poor and oppressed were always founded
and supported chiefly by women. This he
declared was due to three things.
The first was that men were asleep to the
important issues of the day. Many were
unable to realize that they had any duty
in righting the wrongs that aroused deep
rooted and righteous indignation. The
second was that most men lacked the
courage to stand up and fight for better
state OF affairs. The third reason was that
women, being educated with their brothers,
had begun to think with them ana were
thinking to advantage.
~ will not speak of woman's rights,
Mr.. RAIDER declared in closing. All
women have to do is their full duty 10
their State and the rights will take care OF
themselves. / have full confidence In the
women of this country, and have no fear
that anything will be neglected that should
be dQgs,"

The Bark Oakland Reports the
Death of Her Commander

Captain.

The bark Oakland, sixty-one days from
San Jose de Guatemala, bound to Port
Madison, came into this port yesterday.
0. McGuier died of heart disease and was
buried at sea. The bark experienced
Gains and light winds all the way from

into San Francisco whether he lived OF
not. The bark is in charge of CAPTAIN

this harbor yesterday. lie was about 80
years of age and unmarried.
John Riley, about go years of age, at

ing by jumping off the Beale-street wharf
into the bay. He was seen by Captain
Lewis of the British bark Inverco, which
was lying near and his quick action and
rare presence of mind saved a life.
" ithout pausing second he drew his
knife and cut the falls of boat hanging
on the davits and the little craft dropped
right side up in the water. With Frank
Kenealey, the boatman, he sprang into
the boat and succeeded in hauling Riley
out OF the water as he was sinking for the
last time.
The old man lives at % South Park and

bachelor town, for not woman lived
there. Jack RYAN an old soldier drawing
a small pension, was looked up to some
what and outsiders were lei to believe that
he was the Mayor of Dumpville and his
immediate friends the City Council OF the
place-they acted so like other Mayors
and Councils. And there were divisions
in Dumpville too. Occasionally boss
became unpopular and then Junta would
be formed to down him. But these things
have ceased.
What precipitated the downfall OF
Dumpville was the arrest of five men there
nearly two weeks ago. They were Frank
Murphy, a native of Michigan; Patrick
Flynn, who was not born in this country,
and three others who hailed from Aud
Scotia. viz: David Ross, a shipwri ght,
and Hugh Mcdonald and James Russell,
boiler-makers The three last named had
come over from the Potrero on invitation
to enjoy a pitcher or two of beer, and
fight, which was free for all and not ac-
cording to Queensberry rules, was the con-
sequence. The five were taken to the sta
ton for disturbing the peace.
There was also some trouble a little
while ago over a foreign flag. The town of
Dumpville was scattered around a sheet
of foul-smelling water, yclept Poverty
Lake" On the northeastern shore of it
dwelt some Fins. They found Russian
flag and hoisted it one day, and the pat
riotism of the other Dumpvillers was
stirred to the depths. The Russian flag
was soon hauled down.
There were few of the old residents
surveying the ruins yesterday afternoon

where the final ceremonies were per-
formed.
The dead newspaper man had been a
mem Der of San Francisco Chapter, Occi-
dental Lodge, of the Masonic order, and
had endeared himself to the heart of every
member of that, the largest lodge in the
State.
The sorrow of the brothers was touch
ingly attested by the contribution of
great number of elaborate floral pieces and
by an unmistakable reverence of manner
during the performance of the beautiful
service.
The Masonic funeral ritual was read by
Worshipful Master j. Savage of Occidental
Lodge, and was listened to with attention
by those present.
At the conclusion of the services the
members and friends took last look at
the dead face in the casket, and then filed
from the temple. while the remains,
headed by the marshals and mem bers of
the order, were followed to Masonic
Cemetery by many mourners. The pail

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.
He is said to Bo Able TO GIVE Alarm.
of Fire !.

a Wonderful example of brute intel
iigence Is manifested daily by home
less dog III the down town engine
house. Some time ago the dog strayed
INTO the house, and was fed by some
or the men, since which time, accord
ing to members of the department
ne has steadfastly refused to leave
the premises. except to attend fires
and go to his dinner promptly at ~
O'Clock every day. Yesterday the mon
were in talkat,ve mood, and told of
some OF the wonderful things this won
derful dog does.
Why" said one of them. "thc dog
actually knows In advance when we
are going to- have an alarm. When he
comes up stairs and banks the number
OF box. the men might as well dress,
ana dress In u hurry, for we are sure
to so out to that box You should
have heard him Tuesday night when
he came up and uttered his Bow-wow-
WOW WOW = Bow WOW WOW WOW
Every man was OH his feet In an in
slant. for we knew that an alarm
would follow. And 1t did"
Another wonderful thing about this
dog said another sis the fact that he
knows in advance what apparatus will
be required at n fire If 1t is n false
alarm he will run ahead of the chiefs
wagon. If 1t is n small fire he will
run with the hose carriage, on which
is curried the chemical extinguishers,
oiio IL ~ 10 al iliC WHICH IL stream OF
water Will be needed he goes with the
engine"
Then 1t was Captain Kegebein's turn
TO say wonderful things of the wonder
full doings of the wonderful dog.
This dog goes to dinner promptly Mt
II o'clock every day he said, but be-
fore leaving he always reports TO me
with one bark. If he is back by
O'Clock he again reports to me, but f
he is as much as IL minute late he will
avoid me and report his return to Cap
tain Knight"
Chief Ryan is OF the opinion that If
the fire alarm system is not put In
good order very soon the dog, who Is
known by the name OF Fire" will
have to be depended on altogether to
give the alarms at the engine house If
such Il thing would happen. the men
want TO know who would send the
dogs meals to the house. for they
claim they cannot afford to do il on
