News About Town
Rev. D. Stalker's Ad-
dress on Temper
anCe.
Was Delivered Last Evening.
Hospital-The Pilgrimage TO
Canton.

The Rev. ID. Stalker, at the Presby ter
ian church, last evening stated that in
accordance with a resolution passed at
the late presbytery, where the attention
OF the ministers then present was called
to the way the Sundays were observed in
many OF the towns in the Upper PENN
sula-more like European Continental
than an American one-he should devote
the evenings talk to temperance matters.
He then proceeded to quote many pas
sages from the bible advocating temper
ance, and stated that during the last few
years the drinking habit had changed
considerably, for thirty years ago many
persons fully believed that alcoholic slim
ulants were either necessary for health,
or to regain it. He then showed by med
zeal authority aud scientific report how
fallacious such ideas were and showed
that alcohol was a destroyer OF health
and how il eventually conquered those
whocalled themselves moderate drinkers,
and often placed them on the roll OF
drunkards, apparently against their will
He further stated that the license sys-
tenn had been tried and found wanting,
and consequently the only way to down
the saloon evil was to root it up by pass
ing a prohibitory law, and in closing be
called upon the church TO help the good
work along by the pastor, officials and
members forming themselves into one
solid phalanx and doing all that lied in
their power to down the use OF intoxicat-
ing beverages and their sale, particularly
as it is now managed.
Mr.. Stalker stated that, in his opinion,
stores where liquor was sold did more
harm than saloons, as they were the
means of introducing liquor into families.
Mr.. Stalker's remarks were listened to by
his large audience with great attention
and, as they were so true, it is TO hoped
they will in time bear good fruit.

The wonderful DiatoIn.

One Of the most wonderful things In
vegetable life Is a beautiful and minute
class Of seaweeds called diatoms. They
belong to the seaweed family. Yet they
may be found by the thousands In any
roadside ditch, fresh or salt water lake. or
even in cisterns, wells, springs, etc Most
species of plants are made up Of an infinite
number Of little cells, but with the diatom
1t is otherwise. Each representative of
this wonderf~l family Of plants Is formed
Of but single cell, and this 30 minute

Grand Larceny,

Flora Hoalt, pretty girl 20 years of age,
was arrested last night by Detectives An
thony and Crockett and booked at the
City Prison on the charge of grand larceny.
Flora, although young in years, is well
known to the police as the "thieving SER
want girl" She first came to their notice
about year and half ago, when COM
plants were received about her.
She procured a situation with a Mrs.
Arnold on Haight street, and after few
days disappeared, taking with her all the
iewelry and clothes she could carry away.
She next went to the house of Mrs.
Berman on Webster street, where she
walked off with iewelry and clothing.
Theodore Cohn, 82S Union street, was the
next victim. She stole about $500 worth
ofarticles from his house.
After considerable trouble she was ar
rested and got six months in the House
OF Correction. She served her sentence.
and nothing more was heard of her till a
few days ago when Mrs. Webber, 4631%
Jessie street, notified the police that her
servant girl, whom she had engaged on
May 2S, had disappeared and taken with
her 500 worth of iewelry, silk dresses and
other articles.

All the Terms of the Lease Said
to Have Been Fully Com
piled With.
IN NO DANGER OF FORFEITURE
Vice.President Watt and Chief Engi.
neer Storey Are Emphatic in
Their Views.

According to the opinion of two OF the
chief officers of the San Francisco and SaE
Joaquin Valley Railway nothing has trans
pired or been neglected that in any way
affects its fifty years lease of China Basin
from the State, to be used as terminal
property.
At the session of the Harbor Commis-
sioners last Thursday the matter came up
for discussion in an incidental manner,
and Engineer Holmes was instructed to
investigate the matter and report at the
next meeting of the board.
In the course of this debate Commits
sioner Chadbourne declared it was COM
mon talk among those who professed to
know that the Valley road intended ask
ing for Jackson-s street pier for terminal,
and asserted further that the Valley road
did not desire China Basin.
1t was also claimed that by reason of not
doing certain prescribed amount of work
on this property it was liable to forfeiture.
Vice-President Robert Watt of the Val
ley road, who is at present acting presi-
dent, when spoken to on the subject yes
terday said:
1--WE have done everything required by
the terms of the lease and the law under
which the lease is made. The Harbor
Commissioners and Governor knew very
well when the lease was given US that we
could not avail ourselves of it immedi-
ately, and it would be no use building
depot at China Basin until we had built
our railroad to that point.
"The terms of the lease required us to
make beginning within six months and
to gay rental of $1,000 year. We have
complied with these conditions and have
not asked for anything else"
Chief Engineer w. B. Storey Jr. was
equally emphatic in his opinion that the
rights of the Valley road to China Basin
were intact. He said
eve certainly want China Basin and
intend to carry out our plans so far as
China Basin is concerned. They have not
been changed one particle.
1--WE began work there according to the
terms OF our contract with the State, and
that was all that was necessary to do at
that time, and our rights, therefore, still
hold under that lease.
at is our intention to do everything
necessary to hold our rights intact until
such time as our road is built to a connec-
ton that will give it terminus at China
Basin"

This steamship company, which operates
