SETTING OF THE TIDE.
Mr. Babcock Says 1t Is Clearly
Shown by Maine.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Chairman
Babcock, of the Republican congress
slonal campaign committee today said:
Inc result OF the election in Maine will be
OF very great value to all business and finan-
clal interests at this time. 1t will restore
commence in the financial circles and not
only In this country, but throughout the
word. We looked for a large majority in
Maine, but hardly expected 1t to equal the
plurality given in 1894, when so many Dem
ocrats refused to vote; but it has exceeded
that plurality by about 80 per cent. and NO
one can for moment doubt that this vote
IN Maine indicates the sentiment Of the great
northwestern states. The states where there
are large manufacturing and agricultural in
Ierests. The states whose people read and
nave an intelligent voting population will
IN my opinion, join the procession and follow
the lead set by Maine and Vermont
The key of the situation in a Campaign is
TO determine which way the tide is setting
rms 1t is often extremely dificult TO do.
Two years ago at this time, after the Oregon
vermont and Maine elections, / recognized
ana CANNED that they were indicative of the
sentiment OF the whole country, and stated
mat believed that that practically settled
the contests; and my opinion and predictions
vember. This year the majority in Vermont
ana Maine are much more pronounced and
larger than they. were two years ago. and
from this can draw only one conclusion
as nave said before and that Is that the
great manufacturing and agricultural states
VIII IoIoW the example set by Vermont and
Mdihe, ana give such a pronounced majority
against 1ree silver and reputation that II
VIII settle the question for all time to come

OAKLAND's EXPOSITION
This Year VIII Be on n Much Larger
Scale, With Many Attractions
Added.

OAKLAND, CAL, May 12.-The direc-
tors of the Oakland exposition held an en-
thusiastic meeting last evening" with Vice.
President Keller in the chair. Those pres
ent were: Messrs. Booth, Roeth, Sharp,
Gier. Trowbridge, Becker and Bell. The
unanimous opinion Of all present was that
the exposition this year should be held
early in August, although the exact date
was left until the next meeting, May 81.
1t was suggested that by fencing in the
whole vacant lot surrounding the main
building and covering it with canvas a
sort OF summer garden could be created by
means of plants, flowers. evergreens and
shrubbery in boxes, and which lighted up
at night by electricity would produce a
charming resort. which at this time of the
year would prove very popular. in view of
the fact that the admission is to be kept at
last years very popular prices.
These grounds would be fitted out with
refreshment booths, shady hooks and
walks, with music to add to its attractive
ness 1t was also shown that by having
the exposition in August the display OF
fruit could be made a very importa mt feat
ure, and that the active cooperation of
the outside districts of the county would
thus be enlisted in making it a grand suc-
cess.
A new feature for this year will be the
special days for the various towns in the
county, when it is expected the residents.

The Celebrated Professor Compares
Greek and Christian Ideals.

The Celebrated Professor Compares
Greek and Christian Ideals.
BERKELEY, CAL, May 12.-Dr. John
Watson, the eminent Canadian philoso-
pher, delivered the last of his series OF
public addresses on philosophy tonight
at Harmon Gymnasium to a well-6led
house. The topic of his address was the
Greek and Christian Ideals OF Life" He
compared the Greek and the Christian
ideals of life, considering first Christianity
as originally taught by its founder and
secondly as afterward modified.
"The essential feature of religion" ne
said, sis the consciousness of the principle
that gives meaning to life and enables in
div iduals to look beyond the evils of the
present If a religion does not idealize
life it has no effect.'s
He defined religion as a principle OF
consciousness or unity that is manifest in
the world we know. The early Greek re-.
ligion conceived the divine as revealed in
nature in an indefinite way, such as in the
trees, the running brooks, the skies, the
sun and the moon.
Christ gave the new starting point. The
true source of immortality is the eternal
violation of the law of love. The ultimate
source of morality is traced to religion be-
cause the love of God is Identical with the
love of man. There is no absolute inter-
vention between the ideal and the real.
The world is not in subsection to the
influences of evil but to the influences of
God. The power of the wicked is given to
them for the highest manifestation of
good. The power of evil can be overcome
only by the implements of self-sacrifice
and loving impulses.

MRS. COLEMAN'S DEATH.
Widow Of the Late W. t. Coleman Dies
Very Unexpectedly at Her
Sisters Home.

OAKLAND, CAL, May 12.-Mrs. Cassie
NJ. P. Coleman, widow of the late w. T.
Coleman, the San Francisco pioneer and
capitalist, died very suddenly and unex-
pectedly at the home of her sister, Mrs. H.
d. Bacon, $50 Oak street, this morning.

ever since her husband died about three
years ago, but her death was not antici-
pated at this time. Her only surviving
child is Robert L. Coleman, who is mar
ried and resides at Burlingame.
The life of her husband, William It.
Coleman, is closely identified with the
early history of California and he was a
leader in the famous Vigilance Committee
that did so much to clear San Francisco
of the tough characters that swarmed in to
the City.
The deceased was Miss Carrie NJ. Page.
daughter of D. D. Page, well-known
Bostonian and now a st. Louis capitalist
Mr.. Coleman had been in California from
1S49, and in 1852 returned East and claimed
his schoolgirl friend as a bride. They
resided in New York City for sometime,
and it was here that c. Carleton Coleman
was born. They later moved to st. Louis
where Robert l.. Coleman was born. In
1870 Mrs. Coleman came to San Francisco
to Join her husband, who had been here
for several years.
Both sons grew up and married, but c.
Carleton died several years ago, leaving a
SON. No arrangements have been made
for the funeral, but it will be private and

The Alameda County Supervisors went
to San Jose expecting that the convention
of Supervisors from all over the State
would result as most such conventions do,
in having good time. They were awfulIy
disappointed, somewhat chagrined and
very much surprised at the result When
the minutes of that convention are pub
lished the rest of the State Will conclude
that Alameda County was not represented
at all.
This result was brought about by mis-
| conception on the part of the Alameda
board. When the invitation to attend the
convention was received Mr.. Church sug-
gested that it be accepted and I'VE all go
down and have good time" That hur-
ried assumption was very grave error.
| Whatever previous conventions called for
similar purposes may have produced, this
| one that closed st San Jose to-day was one
conducted on business-like principles.
The various Supervisors went to it pre-
pared to show by charts and figures just
what they were doing and how others
might benefit from their experience in
| specific directions. It WAS an interesting
ard valuable lot of data that was presented
and all went well until some one unfor-
| tunately proposed that the gentlemen
from Alameda should be heard from. The
! gentlemen from Alameda" were Super
visors Church, Johnson and Bailey, and
they had gone prepared for nothing but "a
| good time" never dreaming thet the State
convention of Supervisors would develop
anything more interesting than discus
sion on good roads held in the Oakland
boardroom few months ago.
CONSERVATION was expressed on the
faces of the Oakland trio and they
asked for time. They had to do some
thing, they knew not what, but they real
lied that the "good time" was only a
dream, and that their brother Supervis-
ors were stupid enough to expect some
intelligent epitome OF how Alameda
| County's business was conducted.
| Supervisor Johnson was sent back post

scarcely knew. He rushed into the COUNTY
| Clerks Office this morning and asked
County Clerk Jordan "for history of tn

Mr.. Jordan was staggered, but he imme-
mediately set his deputies to work and by
noon whole columns OF figures were ready
and Mr. Johnson was packing them in his
yalise ready to catch the 2:15 P. NJ. train for

Soon after Mr.. Johnson had lett and long
before he was within dozen miles of the

Not Hear of a Congressional
Nomi nation.

Prospect to Succeed Him.
self.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
908 Broadway, MAY II.

To-day's developments in the light for
the Republican Congressional nomin a.
ton have placed that struggle in a new
light.
Judge Frick has openly declared that
he is not a candidate to succeed himself,
but that he is strictly in the Congressional
race.
Ex-Mayor w. r. Davis has been asked
by hundreds of Republicans to run for the
Office, but he has positively declined. He
said that he was supporting Mr.. Hilbcrn ;
that the latter was at his post of duty
and had rendered a good account of him
self; that in his first term Mr.. Hilborn
was hampered by contest and eventually
unseated, so that he served but frag-
ment of his term; that in his present
term up to date he has had time only to
get fair start, and that it would be pol
icy to keep him there. II will refuse to
consider proposition to be candidate
for Congress-" said Mr.. Davis.
At the Third Congressional District Con-
vention, conducted by the primary dele
gates, the following resolution was unani-
mously passed:
Resolued That we heartily commend and ap-
prove the course of our Congressman, Hon. s.
G. HIborn, as our represeDtative in Congress
and we recognize and appreciate his fidelity i'm
the discharge of his important trust.
Although Judge Frick has many friends.
at present 1t is an open secret that they
are more anxious to see Judge Greene
have clear road TO succeed himself than
to send Frick to Washington. With all
the Endorsements he has received. and
with the positive statement that Mr.. Davis
will not enter the race, twill require some
remarkable manipulating to prevent MIR.
Hilborn from being renominated, although
| it is agreed on all sides that whoever does
get the Republican nomination will be the
next Congressman from this district.
W. Il. Friend, one of the leaders in the
primary election movement in this county.
said to-day: ~ do not think that there
will be any more movements of importance
in local politics until after the Fourth of
July. 1t would mani!estly be out of order
to call Congressional convention until
after the st. Louis convention, which will
meet June 16 and last several davs.
Then there will be hurrah period lasting
till the Fourth OF July, and after that we
will get down TO business again."
The numerous candidates that are de-
clarlng themselves, or being declared by
their friends, are as numerous as bees. but
it is safe TO say that vast majority of
their booms viii have disappeared before
the convention meets.
