The committee of fourteen who has
charge of the saloon-closing campaign
has decided that active work shall be
opened by the women at the First Nj. E.

the first OF several mass-meetings planned
for the campaign.
Noel II. Jacks, secretary of the Y. NJ.

Oakland be bAnished?" What say you, young
men, one and all? The Y. NJ. c. A, as an or
ganiZation, has always been the out-and-ouf
opponent of the saloon, and as Jar as we can
speak for the Oakland association, we stand in
that relation to our 200 saloons.
The issue put before the people bv the Couu-
Gil is not y political but Il moral one; there
lore there should be but one result. All good
people should unite in saying: "Let US Danish

with the workers and see what can be
done to help the battle along. There will
be mass meeting conducted by women

LIEUTENANT BIRD

90S Broadway, Feb. e.
The trouble over the fag-raising at the
Eighth avenue Methodist Church will
probably end in the resignation of Lieu
tenant Bird of the Boys Brigade. Trustee
with undue interference IN the erection of
the flagstaff, asserts that there was no
actual trouble and that Lieutenant Bird
acted too hastily.

board of said church." said Mr.. Watson
to-day, las we'll as of the Boys Brigade, l

The giving out OF mistaken information.
l did not stop the fag-raising, but was
heartily IN favor OF 1t; but l did insist
that the 6agpole should be placed in a
stable position and be properly braced
and rest on brackets. AS a trustee | OBJ

faced, and it was only when / saw them

Captain Cobbiedick, who is in charge of
the company at the church, said to-day:
There was no discord between the pastor
and Mr.. Watson, and all has. been carried
out III harmony, trustee Watson merely
insisting that the flagstaff should be prop
erIy placed. The whole matter arose out
of the statements made by Lieutenant
Bird, which were not in accordance with
the facts"
Lieutenant Bird says that the trouble
over the fiag-raising will probably end IN
his severing his connection with the COM

There may not be conflict between Mr..
Watson and the company, but | am OF the

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FEAHcIsco CALL, !

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
sos Broadway, Feb. 70.
Mrs. Catherine Booth, the old lady who
died about three months ago and who was
a lineal Scotch countess, was really rich
woman. Since her death some remarka-
bic facts have come to light, and either
she must have been very deceitiul or else
totally ignorant of the value OF her pos
sessions.
For several years before her death she
was practically supported by charity, and
BY means of the Woman's Exchange she
was able to dispose of some of her family
heirlooms 10 good advantage. After her
death the Public Administrators took tenn
porary possession of her effects and in a
few weeks they were turned over to a
grandson in Vallejo. This grandson, ]:
Booth, is clerk in grocery in that
city and his claim to his grandmother s
property has already been recognized.
His father was at one time a clerk at the
City Hall, but died suddenly of fever
some years ago, and after that event his
widow and children moved 10 Vallejo.
Among her effects WAS found $23 in
cash, and in her trunk were Government
bonds twenty-five of which have matured
and are said to be worth $50, 000, and tif-
teen more that will mature in 1905. A
large block OF Arizona mining stock was
also found. which last week paid divi-
dend of per cent. Under these circum-
stances the many people who supported
Mrs. Booth in the last few years of her
life are at loss to understand why these
facts were secreted from them. As the old
lady was advanced in years and not par
ticularly strong in intellect it is thou ht
she was not aware of the extent of her
wealth.
The deceased lady had q sister Mrs. DR..
Fonda of West Oakland, whom she &C
cused of secreting letters from her lover
many years ago. The effect Of this action
was such that Mrs. Booth remained a
widow nearly all her life. and did not dis
cover her sisters Perfdy until after her
des d, when, on going through her trunk,
she found some of the intercepted letters.
Among Ler effects are some Masonic
papers over century old, which establish
her claim to be descendant of one of the
Oldest families OF the Scot ish nobility.

Charles Scott OF Livermore Tried on a
Novel Charge.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 26-Charles
Scott is on trial before Judge Ogden
charged with having stolen house, the
property OF Sarah Gallagher OF Livermore.
Scott is known as one of the terrors of
Livermore, and some time last July the
Gallaghers discovered that a small house
in the foothills belonging to them had
disappeared with all the contents. They
traced the theft to Scott, who was arrested
and charged with stealing the property,
which is valued at S75.
From to-day's testimony 1t appeared
that Scott lived on property on the offside
of the creek near the Gallagher ranch.
There was trail from the house TO Scott's
place, over which it appeared as though
some heavy material had been dragged.

Rev, Marshall Law, the clergyman WHO

pamphlet which will probably form a
topic for one of the discussions of the

Rector Law says:
We suggest that the church people IN Oak

dies who have unwittingly become members
OF the Unitarian Ebell Society clearly under

club which denies the divinity of our L lrd
