Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, March 4.-Each succeed ing day sees greater difficulties in the way of the gang" in the matter of finding candidates to make the race against the invulnerable ticket placed in the field by the New Charter Club. So pressed are the gang" manipulators now for suitable material that their or gan this morning printed an editorial appeal to business men" to consent to serving the public in the present cam paign As the result of this move it is probable there will be a gang business mems" ticket in the field-that is, 1T enough reputable and honest men can be deluded by the gang" into being drawn into a contest wherein their chances of success will be exceedingly slim Several men who are beyond re- proach in the abstract have already been led into the political fold. which promises to be converted to shambles on the 11th of April. While there IS nothing against these men personally, their affiliations with the gang or prominent whips of the push are such that their independence cannot be counted upon after they are elected.
 The "gang" will make it's campaign against the New Charter Club by get ting behind certain men which it will select from the large number or 1nde- pendent candidates who are being tempted into the fight by the facility with which they can become candidates and have their names printed on the ballots. Whatever men may be elect ed. by some unexpected chance, outside of the regular nominees of the New Charter Club, will be claimed body and soul after the election by the gang.
 But the best people of this city are fully aware that the issue in the forth coming election is a clear and simple one-on one side the ticket Of the New Charter Club, pledged to good and eco nomicaI government; on the other all candidates who must necessarily be op- posed to the New Charter Club ticket either in the interest of the gang or their own self lf-advancement at the ex- pense of the general public welfare.
 Up to date sixteen petitions have been filed with the city clerk. Only one that of Adam Riehl-is for New Char ter Club candidate. There are twenty two officers to be elected in all, and the number of candidates promises to be fully three times that number The pe- titions now on file are the following:
 For Mayor-Charles J. Martin. A. B.
 City Clerk-J. w. Cook. William J.

SOUTH DEER ISLE.

The w. c. T. U. met with Miss Tina
Gray on Wednesday. Subject OF discus
sion, "Social Purity" Miss Inez Small Is
the superintendent Of this department,
and In her capacity as a teacher she ex-
ercises good deal of influence in this di-
rection.
The ideas of all were called for, and
some of those advanced were that parents
should guard against using any improper
words in the home, as children have all
faith in their parents unless taught diner
emily by something in the parents them
selves. Teachers can supplement the
home training. If no good moral train
ing is given at home, that Of the school is
better than none, but it is uphill work
for the teacher to work against home in
fluence. Raise the standard of morality
by misunderstanding anything contrary to
precept" must be the rule in all efforts to
make right supplant wrong.
Scientific temperance instruction in the
schools also received some attention, and
plans were made looking to the advance
ment Of interest in this department OF
work. The superintendent Of this depart
ment thought educating children much
cheaper than supporting paupers, and
though not all paupers are made SO by in
temperance, a large percentage is and a
large percentage is ignorant. Educate the
present generation to help the next, is the
need.

county? Why not fill this column?

The Eclipse of Piety.

The fact is that we are an ethical
rather than religious age. We may
hope that the eclipse of piety is but
temporary, and that it will shine out
again upon world that will be glad to
see it returning. Meantime the love of
truth, which is the redeeming feature
of today; the hatred of shams, which is
felt by earnest and careless alike, and
which is as near to religion as many
seem able to come, will purify our con-
ceptions of God and piety and enable
us to start again in a worship that is in
spirit and in truth. Already we can see,
among liberal Christians especially
strange to say, among those who are
called "radical'-a tendency to estab-
lish some daily devotional exercise which
shall take the place of that which is go
rapidly fading away. The need of such
refreshment is evidently too great to
suffer the loss of it to be permanent

Few bodily Affections are more terrible
than heart disease. To live in constant
dread and expectation Of death, sudden,
instant death, with last farewells unspoken,
is for most people more awful to contem-

For crazy work nothing is prettier than

May make one heart the lighter,

And take our bit of singing
And drop it in some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing.

Can make one life the sweeter,

Can make one step the feeter.

Prof. Louis Boutan, of the Sarbonne,
has written for May Century an account
of his recent successful experiments in
''Submarine Photography. Prof. Boutan
was led to undertake his experiments
while studying marine zoology with div
ing apparatus on the Mediterranean
coast. The article is accompanied by a
number OF photographs taken by the
author at various depths under the sea.
One of the photographs shown was taken
by artificial light. Prof. Boutan suggests
the use to which submarine photography
can be put in the examination OF sunken
wrecks.
