!; The Pastors Union of the city of
 k Oakland desires 10 express its ;; hearty approval of the recent utter
 < ances of its president, Rev. Dr. E. X R. Dille, respecting the demoraliz- x ing influence of the Emeryyille k racetrack, and the patronage it has k received from certain benevolent K and other organizations and enter k prises. We are ever in deepest and
 k truest sympathy with our beloved E Fabiola Hospital, and with all legit- k innate and proper efforts to add to z it's resources for doing good, but k we deplore the recent use of the
 < racetrack, with all it's baneful ac- < cessories and activities, to add to { the financial strength of this cher { ished and worthy institution Such an act cannot but add to the harm l. full influence of the racetrack, while . it will tend to weaken any worthy r institution or movement which { adopts it. We beseech all friends of the morals of our city and vicin- { ity to duly consider the limitless amount of evil constantly resulting from the racetrack, and to refrain from all advertisement of and al- { liance with this harmful institu- . ton.

Dr. Sullivan's daughter eloUed with and was married to young man who was objectionable to her father. Another daughter fell in love with a young man and this time, to prevent an elopeInent, the father gave his consent. Then the girl eloped with another lover.
 Col. Manning, the first eloper, had a son, also named Jason. The young man fell in love with the daughter of one of his fathers teamsters. which made Col. Manning furious. Jason eloped with and married the girl. To Jason were born son and daughter. The son loved a young woman and when his father opposed him he eloped with and married her.
