Fourth of July.

Other lands have national holidays,
but no other has one just like our
GLORIOUS Fourth. Few can point to
an actual birthday Of the national ex-
istence begun with a declaration of in
dependence and liberty to all. When
this national anniversary occurs ON
Sunday, it is appropriate that special
services be held in the Sunday school
and the hours of public worship OF a
patriotic character. Loyalty and civic
virtue are virtues strongly emphasized
in the Bible and should have more rec
ognition in the exercises Of the sanctu-
airy. Songs and addresses, prayers and
Rotations, may well be used to impress
more deeply the relation of Christian
integrity to national stability

Keen Us Sweet.

We are fighting in the battle,
But we cannot all command.
Most of us must march at orders
Forward like n soldier band.
Fame Is not the hero's blessing,
But the sense of duty done.
Life and treasure all are ventured
Ere the victory Is won.
We are workers all together
In the battles flash and heat.
Let us pray our great Commander
Make US loving, keep rs sweet.

He was very fond of gossip, and sent for
the banker, Abraham Beg, to learn the
small talk Of Pera and Stamboui' AS
Abraham was being conducted to the sui
tan,s residence by the master of the horse,
that functionary begged him, should the
sultan question him on the subject, to say
that the funds were at 30, his majesty nav
ing been so informed by his ministers.
Poor Abraham consented.
He had not been long with Abdul Az'z
when he was questioned as to the funds
and replied as he had promised.
To the horror of the banker tho sultan
exnressed himself delighted, and handed
Abraham large bundle of bonds to sell
for him. =, 80,
Abraham sold at IL and paid Abdul
Aziz 30. Tho sultan had originated tha'

Is A GRAND JURY IDEA
County Bids TO Be Awarded
Hereafter in a Businesslike
Manner.
The Intricate Unit System of Prices
Condemned by III, Board of
Sup rvSorS.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-Henceiorth
the bids for supplying the county institu-
tions with ali manner of necessary mate
rial will be awarded on an intelligent
basis
In the past the awarding of bids for
county supplies has been a conundrum
which appar entity none of the regular
dealers of Oakland and few of the mer-
chants in other parts of the county could
solve. No one seemed TO know where,
how, or why, the stupid practice origi-
mated, but the Merchants Exchange
and other bodies who are supposed TO
have some commercial intelligence de-
clared it to be the most clumsy and Unjust
system of which they had ever heard.
The only man who seemed to thor
oughly understand the intricate system
of this method of awarding bids was
Joseph Herscher of San Leandro, and so
frequently did he bid successfully that
among the merchants il became known a.
the Herscher system. 1t consisted of add
ing the gross price OF each item together
and dividing il by the number of items so
as TO get what was called by the SuDer-
visors ''unit of value" The merchant
who supplied a schedule which gave the
lowest unit was declared the lucky bidder.
IL was clearly proven tnat Dy manIpula-
ting the quantities and prices the lowest
bidder, according to the unit system,
would frequently get during he year sew
eral thousand dollars more for his goods
than other merchants who bid on a COM
mon sense basis.
Last year the discrepancies of this sys-
tenn became so notorious that the merca n
tile Uodies of this city and the Grand Jury
took the matter up with the result that
when bids are advertised for in few days
merchants wall know just what to do.
The resolution states that the parties
whose bid is the lowest upon any item
shall be awarded the contract for furnish
ing the same. 1t was introduced bv Su-
pervisor Mitchell and was pa, sed without
any comments, only Supervisor Cuurch
voting against it. He explained his vo g
by saying that there was such multitude
OF items required for the County Intirm-
ary that the board would have 10 struggle
with hundreds of bidders and the heads
of departments would have to obtain their
supplies from many stores instead of one.
The merchants declare that thls is no
consid, ration at all compared with doing
business in straightforward manner and
the saving that would be made.

NERCHAN IFS WILL CLOSE
The Christian Endeavor Rally
Is Followed By Prompt
Action.
Pleasanton Store K ep r. Quickly
Agree TO Sign a Contract 10
c csc on Sundays

OAKLAND, CAL. June ALL of the busi-
ness houses of P.easanton have agreed 10
close their stores on Sunday. The first
man that breaks the agreement Is to nav
$25 into the Golfers of the First Presby-
terian Church OF that town.
Back of this agreement is a story of
Christian Endeavor work Two weeks
ago, after the necessary ARRANGEMENTS had
been made by correspondence with Miss
Bessie Stoner of Pleasanton. party con-
sIsting of Treasurer H. +. Kellogg of the
Stale union, and his wife; President
George p Lowell of the county union and
his wife; II. J. Waters, president of the
Oakland city union, and r. NJ. Brown
chairman OF the county lookout commit
tee, and his wife went to The town and
spent Sunday. Services were held Satur-
day night and eight on Sunday, ali of
which were largely attended.
Sunday mornin; Mr.. Kellogg and Mr..
b own made strong pleas for better OBJ
servance of the Sabbath as a day of rest.
The bicycle cluo of Oakland met there
that day. Attention was called 10 that
fact. Tne young people were urged to
take petitions TO the stores and have the
agreement to close signed by ali of the
merchants.
As result OF this meeting a little in.
quiry was made among the business men.
all OF whom desired to close one day in
the week and have little rest. Rev. r
Logan secured verbal pledge from every
one 10 sign a written agreement, and then
went TO work writing one. A Jewish mer-
chant suggested that a fine OF S25 be in
serted, TO be paid 10 the church in case of
C. violation of the agreement, and was the
first man to sign it when drawn up.
Il was surprised at the sentiment
found in closing one day in the week"
SAID Mr.. Logan to-day. EVERY body
seem ed anxious for day of rest. and If
they sign AS readily as they ga their
verbal consent we will have q, rv lore
closed next Sunday. That raj w an
ye-opener 10 our young peoui, and.
although some of our own members make
fun of the resolutions made by Others. il
will have lasting effect upon Plessanton.
"I don't want any one to break the
agreement for the benefit of the church
as much as $25 would help us. This is
principle, anu if the Christian Endeay-
orers continue in the good work they have
begun we shall soon have day of resi-
better than II civil one. We had no idea
that any such work lay at our doors to do
until these friends came to us"
On Sunday next another rally will be
held at Sunol, wben delegates rom Oak.

:: George Cashmere viii appear before
Judge Greene next Wednesday morning
TO explain why he thought it advisable 10
defy the court. by throwing the receiver
legally placed in. charge OF his store into
the street.
:. This moraing the case came up in
court on contempt proceedings brought
against Cashmere because Of the action.
y. S. Dougl as, The receiver, testified that
Cashmere had pushed him into the street,
locked the door in his face and told him
he would defy the court. He also stated
that Cashmere had threatened him if he
should again enter the store.
Attorney Wood appeared for Douglas
and denied an assertion OF Cashmere, who
says that w God had advised Douglas to
throw every body out of the store at s
o'clock Attorney Chapman for Cash
more questioned Wood very closely on
this point, when Judge Greene remarked
that II be did advise him so he was right.
1t appeared that Cashmere had been
advised by his attorney, Hewitt, TO act as
be did, which caused the coGrt to remark:
1t might be well for this Hewitt to take
some OF the medicine which Cashmere so
well deserves. Any man who has prac-
more law than to give such advice. 1t
might be well to look into this matter
further and see what might be done with
him; so l will continue this proceeding
until next Wednesday morning."
The original trouble was caused by the
relatives of old Nicholas Henneker trying
to get back from Cashmere some of the
property which the wealthy but eccentric
old man had given the storekeeper and
ms Vile. After tae matter was exploited
in court J. L. Bromley was appointed
Guardian of Henne ker. He at once went
after the CashmOres and demanded Sc
curity for the money lent by Hcnneker.
Cashmere refused, so a suit was started
and y. S. Douglas put in as a receiver OF
Cashmore's store.
Cashmere afterward compromised the
matter by giving two mortgages, aggre-
.;FatIng $500, to cover the unsecured lean.
: Having done this, he did not wait for the
.TecelTer TO be formally discharged by the
: court, but put him out of the store forci-
bly, This act brought on the contempt
proceedings, which Will be settled Wednes-
day morning.
