The Decorations.

Main street was never so completely en-
veloped in beautiful decorations as it was
this year. From end to end it was mass

How a San Francisco Boy
Won Fame as a Car
tOonist.
A Princely Salary for Being a
Genius With Colors and
Presses.
Phenomenal Success of Man Who
Was But Recently a Lithog-
raper in This City.

Charles w. saalburg, San Francisco
boy, has recently made great hit by his
newspaper illustrations in London, where
he commands a princely salary with the
Acme Art Company having left the New
York World, greatly to the regret of its
proprietors.
Only few years ago this genius was a
humble workman in a San Francisco
iithographer's shop, but he soon became
prominent on cartoon daily, holding the
position OF illustrator until its indecent
cartoons offended his taste. after which he
went 10 Chicago and made decided hit
on the Inter Ocean, where his vanishing
City," in colors, became famous.
Color work of high grade is Saalburgs s
speciality. He is the patentee of process
by which half dozen or more coiors may
be run on newspaper press at one time.
He achieved fame in New York by getting
out 500, 900 colored sheets in three days,
the shortest time on record.
In London, where he recently located,
he found slow presses and inadequate
means of making colored papers.
He found such slow machinery that it
would require four months to do work
out in three days. The Acme Com pany
induced him to remain in London. They
have ordered American machinery and
are putting up special buildings for the
work and all will be under Saalburg's
supervision.
So popular was one of Mr.. saalburg's

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

sos Broadway, Dec. 20.
The promoters OF the movement to close
the saloons in this city on Sunday will
present their petitions to the City Council
at its meeting Monday evening requesting
that body to submit the question to the
electors at the regular municipal election
in the spring.
This is quite surprise, as il is only ten
days ago it became known such move
ment was afoot, and even now it is not
known who is at the back OF the work.
Throughout the city to-day the church
A-oers were requested to sign the following,
(which goes before the Council tomorrow
3vening:
To the Honorable, the City Council Of the City
Of Oakland County Of Alameda: State of Cali-
Jornid-GENTLEMEN: The undersigned resi-
dents and voters of the city of Oakland re-
Epectfully petition your honorable body to
pass an ordinance or take such other action
as you may deem proper and necessary in
order to submit TO the voters of the city of
Oakland a the approaching municipal elec-
ton the question of the closing from each
Saturday night at IL o'clock to the ensuing
Monday morning at O. clock of sll places in
said city where spirituous. malt or fermented
liquors or wines are sold at retail. And your
petitioners win ever pray.
In a sermon on 1.-THE New Enlistment
this morning, the Rev. c. W. Hill, pastor
OF the Ienth-avenue Baptist Church, East
Oakland, referred to the saloon, claiming
that it struck at the civil life, at the
schools, at the church, at the home and at
the manhood. Like the Israelites, the
people of to-day must meet their enemy
in its stronghold and dislodge it. 4 new
enlistment has been ordered under the
Anti-saloon League and it is hoped that
all Israel will be found numbered. Con-
tinuing, he said:
"Theie is a prospect of great battle
with the liquor power in Oakland. l hope
later through the Anti-Salcon League on
the proposition of driving the saloons out
entirely. But just now on the PROPOSE
tion of Sunday closing. The last attempt
failed. Why? One or two councilmen
weakened. They said they did not know
whether the people wanted Sunday closing
or not. The c. f.. petitions did not satisfy
them. Now we come upon another plan,
asking for an election for an expression of
opinion"

Every seat in the San Francisco Hand

noon, as it was known that at least two
games OF more than usual interest would
be played.
The one that reused the greatest inter-
champion. and E. Maloney and P. T. Don
nelly, the amateur champion, and I. F.
Bonnet. Riordan was evidently smarting
under his defeat of the previous Sunday, as
he played one of the finest ames seen in
the court, and he and his partner carried
off the honors. In the other game r.
Lnehan and ]. J. Feeney defeated J..
Harlow and M. ]. Kilgailon.
The hitting on both sides was terrific,
and the service of Kilgallon was splendid.
M. Mcneil and Phil Ryan also played a
great game against Dan Rodgers and R.
Shea, beating them by two games to one,
much TO their surprise and wrath.
The Union Court was opened yesterday
under the new management, and few
games were played, but no scores were
kept. The wet weather in the beginning
of last week interfered with the plastering
of the walls, but it is expected that all the
Improvements will be finished before next
Sunday.
Following were the games played in the
San Francisco Court:

has been proposed to organize league,
the mem bers of which bind themselves to
nurch hase only in Oakland. Such move
is at once foolish and confession that by
crossing the bay more satisfaction can be
obtained. The fault is not to be remedied
by any such method. People will invari-
ably patronize those places of business
where they know they can get the most
satisfaction for their money. The fault
lies with the merchants. They may or
ganize boards of trade and merchants
exchanges and leagues of progress till
doomsday and they will not keep custom
on this side the bay by such methods.
AS matter of fact, the Oakland store
keeper, by paying less rent than is de-
manded of large storekeepers in San
Francisco, can place the same goods on
the market at lower price, and in many
instances this is done But the people do
not know it. What is needed is not home
industry leagues, but genuine enterprise
on the part,of the storekeepers. With all
it's boasted volume of trade there are not
at this time six merchants of this city
who are making known through the ordi-
nary channels what they have to offer the
public. They seem to be content to hide

LAWMAKERS IN CONFLICT.

Too Much Anxiety Shown to Secure the
Approval of West Oakland Residents.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 2O.-There is
some friction among the members of the
Alameda County delegation IN the next
Legislature. The cause of it is that
standing nuisance, the West Oakland
marsh, and general desire on the part of
too many mem bers of the delegation to
have it suppressed.
Senator-elect Fred Stratton has given
notice that he is preparing bill that will
allow of the doing away with such
nuisances. AS the West Oakland marsh
is situated in the Assem- oily district of
Oscar Breiling and the Senatorial district
OF Eli Dennison, it is thought that these
two gentlemen should be permitted to at
tend to it. Mr.. Breiling is preparing a
bill for introduction to the Assembly,
which Senator DennIson will carry to the
Senate, and there is likely to be some
strained feeling over the two bills 1t is
most probable, however, that when Sem
ator Stratton is informed of the true state
of affairs, he will Withdraw his own bill
and work IN support of that of the mem
ber from West Oakland.

LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN.
The Anti-SaIoon League Will Ask hat
the City Charter Be Amended
This Spring.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 20.-The Board
of Trustees will be requested by a lengthy
petition to amend the city charter in such
a manner that the question oil licensing
saloons will be placed upon the ballot at
every general election. The anti-saloon
league has the matter in hand and will
make every effort to secure an unbiased
vote upon the proposition.
The agitators in this movement are pre-
pairing to secure an enactment that will
prohibit all saloons in such political
division of the towns as vote against hav-
ing them, and permitting them where q
majority of the voters favor them. This
idea is favored by large mum Der of busi-
ness men who do not want saloons in the
residence neighborhood, but do favor, or
at least do not object to them, in the busi-
ness part of the City.
Petitions are now in circulation that will
be presented to the trustees at the proper
time. 1t will have the backing of all the
religious and semi-religious organizations
as well as parties whose residence property
is affected by the present order OF things.

JORDAN FOR president I,
Directors of the Academy Of
Sciences Are Renom-
mated.
No Opposition Is Anticipated at the
Forthcoming Election Early in
January.

The annual election of officers of the
California Academy of the Sciences will
be held at the academy hall January 4,
1897. So far there has been no sign of the
usual campaign among the scientific
people of this institution, and it is said
there will be no contest at the coming
election, fact which has become possible
through the able management of Professor
Jordan of Stanford University, who has
been president of the academy for the past
year.
The nominating committee held meet
ing Saturday afternoon at the office of the
trustees and took action on the new ticket.
All the present officers were renominated,
but q few names will have to be added to
the list to complete the ticket.
Lucius FL. Foote, treasurer OF the acad-
emy, said that he had not heard of any,
thing like opposition TO the regular ticket.
at is our earnest desire to lift the acad-
envy above little politics, and l believe it
''Under the wise administration of DR..
Jordan the academy has made much
progress during the year and accom-
pIished far more than it receives credit
for at home. The curators are each and
eyery one doing excellent work, ana there
is no fight of any kind within the institu-
tion. With the new ticket there can
hardly be opposition, as DIR. Jordan for
president will not have an opponent. The
only change will be in the director of the
museum, Mr.. Davis having died some time
since, and there will be another director
instead of Mr.. w. G. Burnett. But beyo ond
those changes there is no reason for dis
satisfaction toward the ticket"

Buddhist Monasteries.

Count Wachtmeister delivered an interest
ing lecture on Little Thibit before the Theo-
sophical Society last evening in Native Sons
Hall. In the course OF his remarks he said
that the city OF Ladakah, in Northern India, is
the center of the great school of Buddhism
called Mahayana. In and around this city are
many Buddhist monasteries presided over by
its divine head, each monastery claiming The
incarnation OF some Buddhist satwa us patron
saint. Count Wachtmelster spent several
months visiting these monasteries and inves-
tlgating the religious teachings, rites and cere-
monies of the people. Miss Cofcoran's song,
with Verdure Cad" from Haydn's "Crea-
tion," was well received.
