PANDEMONIUM WHEELING
A Thousand Cyclists Eagerly
Obey Oakland'S New
Ordinance.
Bellies In Boomers Turn Out With
Fish Horns and Bells In

OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 26.-The Oak
land cyclists protest on wheels was a
grand success. A thousand obedient citi-
of the effect of the new ordinance regu-
lating bicycling.
Last night the streets were quiet and
eighteen riders were required to deposit S.
with the police to secure their liberty.
Tonight, the streets were like frontier
circus and no one was arrested, because
they ali obeyed the law.
Loudly and continuously" must the
horns or bells sound, says the ordinance
Loudly and continuously did the thousand
cyclists toot their horns or ding their bells.
There is no provision regarding the degree
of loudness or classification of horns or
bells, and this license was generously
taken advantage of. The whole affair was
an organized protest against a piece of
legislation that wheelmen think is burden
some and unnecessary. The riders formed
in procession, and, armed with cowbells
and horns, they traverSed the city for
hours.
The procession was unique. 1t started
with hundred riders, and at every street
corner it was Joined by others till it was
wearing boomers were among the noisiest
of those who obeyed the law. There were
several tandems, and each rider, whether
wearing boomers or knlckerbockers, had
taken the precaution to provide the neces-
sary instruments to make loud and con-
tinuous noises. Such noise and disorder
were never before seen on the streets, and
1t is the general opinion that the new ordi-
nance will soon be repealed. The cyclists
think that they are getting the worst OF 1t.
In the first place they were run off the
sidewalks; then they were unceremoni-
ously hauled in for not bearing lamps after
dark, and now they are being jailed for not
whistling. They have also learned that
there is movement on foot to pass an or
dinsnce compelling them when within the
city limits to go no faster than is allowed
by the carriage ordinance, namely, eight
miles an hour, and this will be the last
nail IN their coffin, and while 1t is being
forged they propose to be up and doing
They did something tonight and every
citizen is aware of it. The present PROPOSE
ton is for the riders to form in a gigantic
procession each night and armed with
cowbells and whistles to traverse the dis
tricts after nightfall announcing them
selves, as they pass each street-crossing &C
cording to the terms of the ordinance.
The cyclists think that two or three nights
of this will result in hurried repeal of the
measure. There seems TO be no way to
stop them from thus asserting themselves,
for they will be acting under absolute
command of the ordinance during their
tour. They propose anyhow to show that
the wheelmen form a power in this city
and politicians who expect to ask favors
at their hands at coming elections will
have to be careful.

fraternity man in the race for the presi-

of "frat" men left Cases house at late

To Prevent Book-Stealing.
The executive committee of the Asso-

the suggestion of Mr.. Rowell, the libra
rian, decided that they would present a
resolution to the student body at their
next meeting, which will provide for the
appointment of a permanent committee,
whose duty it shall be to take cognizance
of all cases where rules of the library are
broken as regards taking books therefrom
without proper authority, and act there
upon. This action has been necessitated
by the fact that during the past year 135
volumes, most of which are valuable
works, have been taken surreptitiously
from the University library shelves

ANNA SHAW ON CH|VALRY,
She Says 1t Ought to Get Out
of the Middle of
the Road.
Now MaidenS Want Their Lovers to
Stay and Live and Not Ride
Off to Die.

The Rev. Anna H. Shaw entertained a
large audience at Golden Gate Hall on SUIT
ter street last night, with discourse on
the Injustice of Chivalry." Before the
lecture was ended Miss Shaw had arrived,
by natural stages, at discourse upon the
necessity of allowing women the ballot
for, as she expressed it, she is here in the
interest of the Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation.
During her address Miss Shaw said:
wish to wage no war with men. In fact
don't know what we do without them. / am
sure | should not wish to be without you. But
at the same time l wage warfare against
wrongs.
Any class of men or women content to live
under unjust conditions is as responsible as
those who impose them.
In days OF ehiyalry man protected woman
because she was his property. To-day protec-
ton of women by man is due TO much higher
code OF chfyalry. The knight of ancient times
would kiss his hand TO the weeping maiden at
the balcony and ride off to die; to-day the girl
would prefer to keep him within the castle
walls. To-day two young fellows do not fight
for girls hand, but try to beat each other
out.
do not know why woman should not earn
her bread as well as man should. Shall these
toilers be rivals or friends? Connection used
to be considered the life OF trade, but in this
latter time we believe co-operauonis the spirit
OF industry.
We do not want men to die for US as in the
chiyalrous past; we would prefer that they
should live with US. The only thing l ask of
chivalry is that it get out of the middle of the
road. Chivalry belongs to warlike times of
the past. When Edward Everett Hale says
that woman forfeits the chivalrous attentions
of man when she enters mans work, he turns
his face back eight centuries
This is the better chivalry which makes men
treat women as women and women treat men
as men. l believe there never was time when
family life was loveier and happier than it is
now. | believe that parental sweetness to
children never was greater than ii is now.
The difference between the life in California
in 1895 and in 1850 is the difference of q
country with woman and q country without
her.

OpO DlbduNdNS &c ". -
Several months ago Justice Wood of the
Police Court refused 10 grant trials by
jury TO several defendants who had vio-
lated &rdinances. Other judges had pro-
nounced that the right TO demand jury
trial in such cases did not depend on the
pleasure Of a police court justice, as laid
down in the Whitney act.
This law gave jurisdiction to the judges
OF police courts of cities having between
$1,000 and 100000 inhabitants to try mis-
demeanOr cases without jury.
a case exactly similar was sent up to the
Supreme Court from Los Angeles, and
Justice Mcfarland has just handed down
an opinion which orders that the Los
Angeles defendant shall be at once re-
leased. 1t decides several cases now on
appeal from the police courts of this city,
including those of several Salvationists
for holding street meetings.

A POPULAR DELUSIoN.-In a recent dis
cussion of the suitability of the white race
for the gigantic work of colonization that
is going on in Africa, DR.. C. F. Taylor
made some interesting remarks on climate
and health He says it is delusion born
of the constant assertions of the advo-
Gates of negro slavery before the American
war that white people cannot work in the
tropics. In Porto Rico, Central America,
Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, etc,
white men live, work and flourish. The
oppressiveness of tropical heat is to a great
extent counteracted if proper clothing and
regimen is adopted. If is said to be even
beneficial to many Europeans and Ameri-
cans by relieving their nervous tension and
inducing certain "repoSe" of manner
Wakefulness is rare in the tropics; the
increased action of the skin relieves the
kidneys, while the bland, soft air promotes
respiration. The golden rule is to live so
as to be always comfortable-in other
words, to adapt oneself intelligently to
the changed conditions. Although Dr.
Taylor's injunctions are well advised, the
old maxim holds good that white men
living in the tropics should wherever pos
siole, take few months change in tenn
perate climate once in every three years.
