Superintendent William ]. Mccoy con-
siders it great honor to have his orches-

Benham, leader of the choir, is also from
this city, Oakland will be well represented
at the great convention.
The programme for the big concert has
been specially arranged for the orchestra
by Director Mccoy, and the amateur
musicians have been practicing every day
for weeks. The music to be supplied by
the orchestra is as follows:
Overture festival, Won suppe; excerpts from
'fLes Huguenots"; ''TRnnhauser March," by
Wagner, choral parts to be sung by a bouquet
OF soloists, accompanied by the choir of 1000
voices
The First Congregational orchestra was
organized by John Rea in 1882 and con-
sisted of young ladies and gentlemen who
were willing to play for Sunday-school
and church work. 1t became popular and

OAKLAND, CAL, June 25.-Mr. Nc
CleIlan, the husband of the woman now in
jail for burglary, is a remarkable man.
lie Is a Christian Scientist, and while his
wife is in jail he views the matter calmly
and says it is an experience out of which
good will come. He has at last gone to
visit her, Snd he now declares that GOD is
his counselor and mas declined to engage
an attorney for her.
Mr.. Mcclellan says that the story of the
burglary has been revealed to him in a
dream. He says that mysterious woman
IN black committed the crime, and in
duced his wife 10 take charge of the goods
after they were stolen. This story does
not help m alters much, for Mrs. McClel-
Ian has said tmat a man named Manuel

keep the proceeds in her basement. The
officers do not think Mcclellan is quite
right mentally.

the proceedings for the issue and sale of
bonds. The findings of the court were in
favor of the re .ulariiy and legality of all
these Steps and rOcesses, and the iudg-
ment of The court followed accordingly.
From tha! judgment and order denying a
new trial d saffected property-owners
prosecuted The appeals.
Their claims of irregularity involved
many points, but principally that the dis
trict was not properly organized They
further made an attack upon the constitu-
tionality of The act Itself. In their first
point the claim was made that all the
property-owners who signed the petition
for organ cation were not qualified free
holders ana that instead OF having fflv-
eight signatures there were only ihirty-six
The other twenty-five were only holders
of town lots and small parcels of realty in
the incorporated cities and towns.
Justice Hensbaw, who gave the decision,
held that this of itself was sufficient to de-
stroy the legality of the organiza lion.
Consequently it was not necessary to take
up many OF the other points, a they had
been passed upon in previous action, in
which the Wright irrigation act was
roughly handled. The judgment of the
lower court was reversed.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June ga PROPOSE
tion has been suggested by which the
city's property along the estuary shore,
which was filled in by dredging, can be
turned to practical account.
There are several scattering pieces of
such land, aggrega ting about eight acres
all told, and it is proposed to trade so as
to get it all in one tract. This it is pro-
posed 20 convert into a park and play
ground for children. At present Alameda is
poorly supplied with such facilities for the
young, who are obliged to carry on their
games which require space on private
property. 1t will not be long before this
property will all be improved and then
there will be no available place for play
ing ball, cricket, etc. Hence the play
ground proposition, which is received
with much favor.

interest in this matter, indeed was the
originator of the proposition, ard he pro-
poses to see If it cannot be carried ont
