 PRESTON.
Senator Perkins Will Join Him in Stockton-General Barnes to Speak in Oakland Next
 Saturday Night.

The center of active Republican cam paigning will be transferred to-day to the San Joaquin Valley where James G.. Mcguire has just concluded his efforts to convince the voters that he is ''the whole thing"-Democrat, Populist, labor, every thing but single tax. The latest reports from the valley indicate that the Demo- cratic -Popocratic leader has made a losing fight. It is now predicted that San Joaquin County, upon which MT. Ma guire has based great hopes, will not supply enough voters to carry the day Tor him. Cheering news also comes from the upper end of the valley, where leading Democrats and Populists are abandoning the Mcguire standard and announcing their intention to vote for Gage.
 During this week MT. Gage will be ac- companied by E. F. Preston of this city The itinerary will be Bakersfield, Mon day; Tulare Tuesday afternoon; Visalia. Tuesday evening; Hanford, Wednesday; Fresno, Thursday; Madeira, Friday after noon; Merced, Friday night; Stockton, Saturday, where Senator Perkins will also make a speech.

BURGLARS PLY THEIR
 NEFARl0US TRADE
CARRY AWAY THE SUPPLIES OF
 SEVERAL FAMILIES.
For Months Thieves Have Been En- toying Themselves on Van
 Ness Avenue.

Unusual activity on the part of Jap arese and Chinese cooks and one or two American servant girls In and around the big flats numbering from 926 to s5z Van Ness avenue yesterday told the story or an unusual happening. Butchers and poultrymen were being dragged from their homes to satisfy the demands of the array of servants, and had the grocers closed on Sunday they as we'll would have been among the unfortunate. No banquet was in preparation, neither olo the occupants of the flats seek viands un- usually paIatable. The fact was they wanted something to eat Callers had been there the night before, uninvited and unwelcome. The callers were bur glars the same that have for weeks been plying their trade in the neighborhood unmolested by the police.
 Not a sound of Vagrant feet was heard during the night by any of the occupants of the several flats, and 1t was only with the dawn that they discovered the visit
 The burglars first visited the residence of pr. Taylor, being the second time In two months, and then in turn took in larders the thieves were expert. That they were also epicures Is easily proved by their acts. From the house of Dr. Taylor they took turkey, oysters, eggs and everything edible in reach They next visited the apartments Of Mrs. Me Killip. Here they satisfied themselves with taking not only everything in sight but several things that were under lock and key. The apartments of Mrs. Cor nelia Tibetts were next visited. The burglars evidently were frightened away just as they were preparing to thorough ly loot the place. The doors of the store house had been forced and everything turned about, but nothing was taken. This was the last place visited by the thieves.
 The case was reported to the police and a detective was sent to investigate, but as usual a wise lcok or two completed his observations and doubtless will end his investigations. For the past six months an organized gang of thieves has been working i'll the locality of the burglary of Saturday night, and the property-owners unless the police wake up and afford them better protection they will see If some action cannot be taken that will re- suit in stimulating the guardians of the peace to at least a degree of wakefulness.

COMPARATIVELY FEW RESTAU-

One Fruit Cannery Condemned and Ordered Closed by Chief In-
 spector Dockerv

The Bureau of Food Inspection of the Health Department, in charge of Chief Food Inspector James P. Cookery, has completed it's report for the month of Sep tember. It shows that during the month 725 restaurants, hotels, bakeries and eat ing houses were visited for the second time. Of these 630 were found to be In good condition and 95 in very bad shape. No tices were served on the proprietors of the latter, giving them ten days to renovate their kitCherls. Thirty-three cases were referred to the plumbing department, while 67 were served with notices to abate nuisances. Of 62 candy factories inspected all but two were found to be in good con- dition, and these two were given ten days notice to put their places in good order.
 Three hundred and eighty-nine of the 445 fruit stores inspected were found to be very bad shape. Notices were served on fifty-four to put in proper garbage recep- tacles. The inspectors condemned twen- ty-nine dozen melons. eight: boxes. of pears, eleven boxes of tomatoes. eight boxes of plums, seven boxes of figs, four boxes of peaches six boxes of apples, twelve boxes of berries and seven boxes of grapes.
 Thirty-two pickle factories were visited and all were found to be in good condition, but of the thirteen fruit canneries in- spected one was found to be in such bad condition that it was closed forthwith. Thirteen tamale factories and thirty dai- ries were inspected and all found in good order.
 It is the intention of Chief Cookery to continue the work right along and see that the restaurants, hotels, bakeries, cannerieS and factories do not lapse into their former filthy state.

FORM OF CONFESSION.
Rev. Father Mahoney Explains the
 Sacrament at St. Ignatius.

Rev. Father Mahoney delivered "a ser mon last evening at St. Ignatius Church to a large congregation on How Christ Built the Confessional" The Father at first explained the origin of confession. It came from the divine power entrusted to the apostles in the words, Receive ye the Holy Ghost whose sins ye shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins ye shall retain they are retained" This power was relegated to the apostles and their successors to the end of time.
 ''It is not sufficient" said the priest. "to make an abstract confession. such as T have sinned.' The specific sin must be mentioned aud dissolution given accord ingly. In a court of justice the judge must hear the evidence before pronounc- ing sentence, just so must the priest un- derstand what sins have been committed before he relieves the sinner from his bur in the case of the man who has sinned against another. Until that person makes reparation for the injury done no priest can give him dissolution. If he Is guilty of theft, he must repay what he has stolen. Should the law of the church make no such requisition, confession would be a trifle and e farce. It seems humiliating to human flesh and blood to be required to lay at the foot of a fel- low man every secret and wish which was not pure and every sin and offense they have committed against the law, both human and divine. but it was instituted for the purpose of exciting true contri- ton and a desire to sin no more.

TO MEET THE ROSEBUD.

Young Pluto, the Australian feather weight, has signified his unwillingness to meet Sammy Maxwell in a limited round go, and the efforts that were being made to effect a meeting of the two clever lightweights are off. It is said however, that a match for young Pluto has been found in the Kentucky Rosebud, a col ored star of the Eastern Armament. Whether the fresh proposition will result in a go or not is a matter of conjecture, but the fact is significant that on Fri day Billy Kennedy mailed two tickets to Philadelphia that are intended for the transportation of the Rosebud and his trainer to thls city.

The balloon was picked up at Eleventh and How ard streets and was returned to the Chutes by order of the police.
