 demning the Civil Service Law.


 The Continental League held lively meeting at Saratoga Hall Wednesday evening, with President Frank D. Worth in the chaair.
 The report of the financial secretary showed the league to be in fourishing condition, and steps were taken to clear off all it's indebtedness.
 Action on the question of taking part in the celebration on Washington's Birth day was postponed, although the senti- ment of the members was strongly in favor of turning out on that day.
 A committee was appointed to make ar engagements for an open meeting to be held some time in the near future. at which 1t is intended to have several prom. inent speakers address the club on the vital positions of the day.
 The political situation was ably dis cussed by H. c. Firebaugh, Dorson Mich ols, Hamilton J. Higgins. and others, and great interest was exhibited in the dis cusson.
 The following resolutions were intro duced by MT. Nichols, and adopted by a majority vote:
 Whereas, That legislative monstrosity known as the civil service law is now in full force, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we, the members of the Continental League, regarding said law as a serious menace to the future success of the Republican party, do hereby de- clare 1t to be our intention to refuse our support to all legislative candidates either national, State or municipal, who said law in its present form.
 Resolved further. That the thanks of the League are hereby extended to Hon. C. H. GroSvenor of Ohio and his CO., workers for their efforts toward a modi- fication of said law.

HIS LIFE'S JOURNEYS END
John W. Brocas, Highly Respected Old Pioneer, Finds Rest at
 Laurel Hill

John W. Brocas, who died at the Com mercial Hotel last Wednesday evening after a weeks illness, was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday after noon, the funeral being held at the un- dertaking parlors of Porter & White. The deceased, who was a native of Ohio and 75 years of age, was one of the best known and most highly respected men known in the commission business of this city. He came to San Francisco in 1852 and resided here most of the time since. He was for several years in the postoffice and later he engaged in the commission business, in which he was quite success ful for number of years. Reverses came in time and he discontinued opera tions on his own account and entered the employ of Allison & Gray, whom he faith fully served for fifteen years. For a year prior to his death he had again been ope- rating for himself, in connection with H. H. Heckmann. The great esteem in which the deceased was held was attest ed by@ the large attendance at the fun eral, almost all the prominent commits sion houses being represented among those who had come to pay the last sad tribute to a man whose life had been an example of strict business honor and personal integrity.
 MT. Brocas left two sons, Harry A. and Charles l.. Brocas. His wife died five years ago. and by her side he was laid for the sleep which ends all earthly trou- ble,

KENO GAMES MAYBE OPERATED
So Decides Superior Judge Lorigan
 in San Jose Case.

SAN JOSE. Feb. 4-Hereafter keno games will be allowed to run in this city. This is made possible by a decision rem dered by Judge Lorigan in the appeal case of M Fully, who was arrested and fined $50 by Justice Gass for conducting keno game in Higgins 6 McCray's sa- loon.
 The court held that the city ordinance did not particularly prohibit the playing of keno. A city ordinance did, however, prohibit gambling and by the same ordi- nance a number of games are enumerat- ed as gambling games. Keno is not in cluded in the list It follows then that resort must be had to the State laws to ascertain if keno is to be considered a gambling game. By its statutes it ap- pears that number of games are stated to be prohibited and such gambling games in which a percentage is taken out of the money. As it does not appear that keno is especially prohibited and that it is not percentage game it fol- lows that 1t Is not unlawful
 The decision will be a welcome one to the sports, and it is expected that inside of a week keno will be running full blast

REVERSED HIMSELF.
Judge de Haven Performed the Act Within Twenty-Four Hours With
 Grace and Dignity.

It is not often that a Judge reverses his own ruling, and when he does so lengthy explanations usually accompany the distressing act. But United States District Judge de Haven reversed himself yesterday without any apologies, simply as matter of right and justice. He had made a mistake the day before when he admitted Charles F. Kendall to citizen ship, and he revoked his act as soon as he had become aware of his error.
 Kendall is a native of Canada, 51 years old. He enlisted in the United States navy in 1861 and was discharged in 1864. This fact was proved by the presentation of the discharge. Kendall also set up that he was naturalized in a New York court in 1868; that the court was abol- ished, and that the records were lost. Judge de Haven admitted Kendall to citizenship, the court at the time being under the impression that three years service in the United States navy would entitle Kendall to naturalization. After the adjournment of court on Thursday the Judge looked into the law. of the matter a little more closely and found that five years service was required. Accordingly he had Kendall brought before him yes terday and revoked the order of naturali- Zation made on the day before.

 for Robbing Grocer.

For some time the firm of Olsen Broth CTS, located on the corner of Park street and Central avenue, Alameda, have been missing money and goods from their store By keeping strict watch on the building they came to the conclusion that the articles disappeared during the night.

 Last night Officer Kemp saw young boy. Edward Hill, residing at 2617 Gen. traI avenue, take some empty boxes from the rear of the store.

COMING WITH REINDEER.
Vessels Leave Sweden With Hun
 dredS of Animals for Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A cable gram received at the War Depart ment from pr. Jackson at Alta, Swe- den, announces that the Manito- ban, chartered by Lieutenant Devore for the Government, had just sailed from that port for New York with $50 reindeer and eighty-seven Laplanders to care for the animals and drive them on the Government relief expedi- ton when they arrive in Alaska. The War Department is now making ar engagements for the transportation of the deer across the continent from New York to Seattle.
 In answer to inquiries that have been made at the departments in stance as to the possibility of finding Tn Alaska the moss upon which the rein deer feeds altogether in his native country, the Bureau of Education has submitted some correspondence its agents have had on this subject. The inquiry had special reference to the vicinity of the Chilkat region, and samples of the Norwegian moss were sent up there for Identification. In re- sponse the Presbyterian missionary at Haines, w. w. Ware, writes as fol- lows:
 "The reindeer moss came by the last 5OON many natives and whites about 1t. The net outcome is that there is very little indeed along the coast, but fifty miles over the Coast Range there Is a great abundance. Some say the whole country is covered. l accept that state ment with some reservation, but l should judge that there must be great deal"
 U. G. Myers, an attache of the Weather Bureau, left Washington to- day for a brief visit to his home. His ultimate destination is the Klondike region, whither he will go under the auspices of the chief of the Weather Bureau to take observations in the Yukon district, the Klondike region, and. most likely, the Copper River To- cality.
 MT Myers will organize a party of four, which will leave for Seattle in few days. From there they will go to either Dyea CT Skaguay and thence to the Klondike. The gentlemen who will accompany Myers are A. s. Dunham and A. G. Ward of New Haven, Conn.,, and H. c. Robinson of Los Angeles, Cal Robinson will join the other three at Seattle.
 It is believed the result of Myers observations will be to greatly aid the Weather Bureau in its forecasting and general work. The farthest north any station is now located from which 1t receives reports indirectly is Edmon- ton, in the British possessions. It is not thought that the Canadian Gov ernment will object in the least to the observations being taken. as they are not official in a certain sense, but only voluntary on Myers part. He will carry with him a letter from the chief of the Weather Bureau, explaining his mission and containing full credentials.

Grand Easter Opening.

Wednesday evening, as previously
announced. the immense store of the
Spicer-F Tanning Co. was thrown open
that the public might feast its ewes
upon the latest and newest goods in
every department of that great store.
The special feature was the opening of
the spring millinery, for Easter. This
department, which is located in the
center OF the building. was most taste
fully decorated with Easter lilies and
palms. and every case was full of pat
tern hats, choice flowers and ribbons.
From the main entrance all the way
through the block every division vas
beautifully decorated. Tables loaded
with rich silks and airy summer goods
filled the main aisle, and the corner
window, with its lattice work of vari-
colored ribbnns, rs a background and
an immense cross made of purple lilacS
lilies of the valley, made up the hand
soonest display window ever shown in
Superior. This particular window re-
fleets especial credit upon Mr.. Philip
Bissonnette, who also did great deal
of the other decorating During the
Evening Alexanders full orchestra rem
dered several beautiful selections. AS
usual the attendance was large and
everybody had good time, and we pre-
diet that tho sales at the big store the

The Cuban Lecture,

The last of the series Of lectures ar
ranged by Mr.. Frank Jackson Tor the
benefit of the West End EDworth
League, was perhaps, by reason of the
great Interest centering round the island
OF Cuba--the most enjoyable. The pic
lures showing the parks, drives, orch
ards, and palaces, were beautiful beyond
description. Several very graphic views
were also shown of the insurgents at
war. In making an explanation as to
where some of the pictures were Sc
cured, Mr.. jackson SAID that he be-
thought himself of Capt. Ira Harris, at
one time resident of our city, bu. how
employed by the government III New
York harbor, and he addressed him
and asked for anything which he might
hnd on the Cuban line of thought
which would assist in making the col
lection of pictures entertaining The
captain sent couple of very telling
ncie Sam cartoons from leading
New York papers, which were pre-
seated. Mr.. jackson added also that
Capt. Harris had informed him that in
the event OF war he had been promised
command o; one of the ships 1t NAV
be interesting at this time to relate that
Capt. Harris was quite prominent dur
ing the late war, being the second oti-
eer on beard the Powhatan, and in the
absence of the commodore, took charge
of the ship at the attack upon Fort
Fisher, and SO ably did he handle the
ship that resolution of cpmmenda-
ton VS. passed by congress. and with
the papers which gave him the title of
captain. This "Reminiscences, related by
Mr.. Jackson, brought 10 the mind Of
another gentleman, who related in our
hearing another incident in connection
with the Harris family which will prove
Interesting at this time, as it also impii-
Gates our present city treasurer, Mr.
Hunter. On the evening that President
Lincoln was aSSaSsinated Miss Harris a
sister OF the captain, was a member OF
the presidential theatre party, and
after the sEot was fired and amid the
eAC'ttiHtlt ioIIoN liIT, Stitleultii, VI T.
Hunter by name--and no other than
our present efficient city treasurer
stepped forward from the adjoining
box, where, in company with an Old
friend, the chief Of police, be was sit
ting. and assisted Miss Harris to her
carriage. Such little incidents often 90
unHotiCed at the time tneV occur but
in alter Years, when fate throws men
together, as in the case Of Capt. Harris
and Mr.. Hunter, who met, we believe,
for the first time in this city, and in
the course of conversation discovered
that they were parties o. the above lit
tie episode, 4 sentimenlaity soon
Neaves about the affair that leaves its
impression upon all who hear it.
