4 PECULIAR CITY.

1t has pleased the Rev. Carlos Martyr to
come to US and in public speech charge
Us with having an exceedingly wicked
city. This is not the first time that such
a charge has been made, and as IL usually
comes from strangers, and is based on
certain minor ezternals, particularly the
freedom with which the people seek reere-
alton On Sundays. a few instructive re-
marks on the subject might prove beneficial
to all concerned.
The peculiar climatic conditions which
prevail here necessarily produce a de-
rarture in conduct from the standard of
communities where these conditions do
not exist. An excess of ozone in the air
and the absence OF a depressing climate
naturally tend to make Us free. hearty and
aspiring. Here. as in all other cities, the
population is confined at work during the
week, ano when Sunday comes with its
gladness and sunshine and cheer, it is not
in vigorous human blood 10 resist the
temptation to go abroad in the fine free
air and drink of the cup which nature has
filed to the brim with precious life giving
offerings.
1t is g fact that the greatest crowds begin
to move only after the churches have held
their services; it is another fact that it
would be difficult to find city with more

SANTA R0sA'S WATER.
The Contract for Building the System
Receives a Lift From the
Court.

Judge Daingerfield has sustained the
demurrer OF the city of Santa Rosa To the
bill in equity of Wesley Mock. which
prayed for the cancellation OF the contract
to construct the proposed water works of
the city and for the recall of the bonds
issued to pay for the WORK
The case was tried in Santa Rosa before
Judge DaingerfeId, he taking the place of
Judge Dougherty, who was disqualified.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge Dam
gerfleld does so because in the instance of
the lowest bid, one OF $3.50, 900 made by A.
l.. Fish, 1t is not stated that Fish was
ready, able and willing to take the con-
tract for S130, 600 ana that he could obtain
backing for that AMOUNT. This incident
should have been lett out altogether, the
court says, or If fraud is relied on as 3
cause OF complaint the point should be
more fully covered by amendment. For
this reason ten days are allowed to amend,
out IN commenting in general the court
shovel some little sympathy with the
allegations of the complaint.
The accepted bid was one OF Sl61, 600.
and the one next TO it was for Sl64, 900.
The bid of $4,000 had been rejected as
not suitable. 1t wss claimed that the bids

toms the people OF San Francisco duplicate
the practices seen in those cities of Europe
which have pleasant climate and many
outdoor beauties awaiting their enjoyment.
We have the one American city OF that
type, and the reasons which lie behind
the fact constitute the greatest charm OF
San Francisco. That our people are not

for their health, strength, cneerfulness
and prosperity.

older eenters OF the country, and its eff
cheney is augmented by natural conditions
which lend it strength, freedom and aspi-
ration.
II is not for strangers, ignorant of the
forces at work beneath the surface OF our
conduct, TO criticize what they do not IN

on incomplete evidence. San Francisco
knows its shortcomings and its strength.
and the abundant decency within it viii

PEOPLE WORTH READING ABOUT.
The Princess OF Wales is said to be getting


deaf.
The idea of inviting the Prince OF Wales to
visit Toronto IN 1897 has become popular there
Mascsgni has written en- article in an Italian
paper wherein he states that no fewer than
1900 librettos have been forwarded 10 him 10
set 10 music.
81. Elfsee Reclus, the French geographer,
wants 70 have g terrestrial globe made 400 feet
in diameter, in order 70 show OF the relative
dimensions and heights as they should be. He
asks Tor help and criticisms OF geographers the
world over in realizing his idea.
Dr.. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the SEN
ste, was first elected Congressional chaplain
in December. 1915. just half century ago.
he was then inst % years of age, and the
youngest man whose voice has ever been
heard in Congress before or since that date.
Dr.. Fauyel, who recently died in Paris, had
larger practice in his special brsneh-diseeses
OF the throat-than any other physician in the
sorld. Yet his fee was comparatively small
being only so. Thirty years ago he founded
an infrmary. where he treated poor people for
nothing.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has declined
70 prosecute the Bishop OF London for issuing
license for the marriage OF divorced persons,
held that such licenses are proper, and the
bishop has right TO act on the decision OF his
chancellor.
The one hundredth anniversary OF the birth
Of the famous German historian. Leopold ron
Ranke, was celebrated the other day in Jena,
the old university town where Schiller w4s
once professor of history. Ranke died in 1886.
He was g great sdmirer OF America, married an
English woman. and was particular friend Of
George Bancroft.
Henry Rochefort says about his memoirs !:
every human being sees what concerns him
through a telescope glass. For thirty-fve
years the baker at whose shop my pare nts
bought bread went to her counter at noon and
never budged from 1t till O'Clock. Yet she
explained the presence OF gray locks in her
hair by the fsct that her life had been
tumultuous."
AZ think" Hall Game says in MeClures,
Magazine, i'thet I know my Bible as few
literary men know it. There is no book in the
world like it, and the finest novels ever written
fall Jar short in interest OF any one of the
stories it tells. Whatever strong situations 1
have in my books are not OF my own creation,
but are taken from the Bible. The Deemster'
IS the story of the prodigsI son. The Bond
man is the story OF Esau aud Jacob. The
Scapeg0at' IS the story Of Eli snd his sons, but
with Samuel as little girl. The Manxman'
is the story of David and Uriah."

An UNNECESSARY WRECK.

From present accounts it seems that the
wreck OF the Janet Cowan on the coast OF
Vancouver Island might have been
avoided, and that the causes producing it
were lack OF full complement OF sailors,
insufficient ballast and the drunkenness OF
the master. Thus an English vessel, in
spite Of the perfection of England mari
time laws, was wrecked and death and in
credible suffering produced by violation OF
three simple, weil-pnderstood and alto
gether necessary precautions. The skipper
Is dead. and very likely ii was his dissipa-
ton that rendered him unable to bear the
hardships which he encountered ashore.
That liquor is contributing agent in
the production OF q large proportion Of
shipwrecks and brutality toward seamen
is fact es notorious as II is deplorable.
It's dangers are so well understood that it
is rigidly kept from sailors while on q
voyage, but an extraordinary inconsis-
tencv is seen in the fact that the response
bic men OF vessel are permitted 70 carry
and drink as much liquor as they please
England, with all the advancement which
she has made IN securing safety and hu-
name conduct, has still fallen short in per-
hitting the officers Of a ship to drink
while on the sea.
The great railroad corporations Of the
world have set an example in this matter
that might well be followed in maritime
affairs. The rule that the men charged
with the safety of trains and the lives OF
human beings shall drink no intoxicating
liquors while on duty is enforced with ex-
IRENE rigidity. II Is only thus that the
mn hpr rf dfeoe<c- ir -oEroaI 81 svz:
mum. Experience hes shown, further,
that drinking, besides impairipg the
mental integrity OF one holding a re-
sponsible position, breeds Dependency,
discomfort and spirit OF rebellion. It is
for this reason that local civil authorities,
If they are wise, order the closing of drink
ing saloons at certain hours Of the day in
case of serious strikes ana riots.
a sailor who has risen to an official
position on a ship has passed through the
experience Of all sailors. Whether there
is something inherent in this occupation
which renders dissipation virtually neces-
sary is a serious question, and it is given
an added importance by knowledge OF the
fact that the followers of one occupation
are as class more given to drinking than
those OF another; but, keeping the dis
cusslon within restricted lines, it would
be rational to expect that sailor who has
risen to position of authority on q ship
carries with him the appetites Of his class,
even though we make allowance for the
fact that he could not have risen had he
been a drunkard. To give to masters of
vessels unrestricted license to carry liquor
for their own use is to invite such disasters
as that of the Janet Cowan.

WOMEN'S STATE FEDERATION.
The Convention at Grand Central Hall
Yesterday Well Attended.


The Women's Federation for the Public
Good met at Grand Central Hall, 997 Mar
let street, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Rose
French, the president, opened the meeting
by asking Mrs. Eyster TO offer prayer.
Notwithstanding the inciemenoy OF the
weather eight different societies were rep
resented. The committees on the various
lines of reform work reported encouraging
progress, and their numbers were added 10
in all directions OF labor. An entirely new
order OF work known as the "Befriending
Committee. the object Of which is TO look
after the rights of the ignorant poor, was
added TO the already long list OF comm it
tee work.
4 number of mem bers spoke on the vari-
Gus questions of reform, and gave their
personal experience and opinions. Among
the visitors was Mrs. Green from Santa
Cruz, who spoke at some length on the
lnportenceyof mother meetings and gen.
eTal education of mothers.
Miss North and Mrs. Luce made appro-
pirate remarks that were keenly appre-
ciated, stating that the federation must
make z record OF good work, and then
many doors would be open TO il that are
now closed.
The committees reported they were re-
ceITed kindly and courteously wherever
they went.
