HE WAS REVENGED.
Thought He Had Run in on High"
Toned People, But Came Out
Unscathed.

A young man about town was caught in
one of those sudden downpours of rain that
have lately astonished the natives. He was
on Euclid avenue at the time, and obeying
the first impulse of self-protection, ran up
the nearest walk and placed himself meath
the sheltering roof of a house porch 1t was
early IN the evening, and yet the house, he
noticed was quite bright with lights. 1t was
a rather narrow porch and he stood close by
the front door while the rain came down in
wild gusts
Pretty soon the door was opened and
trim maid stood In the opening. She looked
at the stormbound youth, and he looked at
her. She held the door invitingly open.
Wont you step in!'' she asked.
He stepped in, good deal pleased at this
example of unexpected Samaritanism.
The maid looked at him again
(which OF the ladies'" she began, and
then he knew that he was mistaken for a
caller.
Even as he wondered what explanation
he could make magnificent matron of gen.
erous proportions swept from the parlor
with outstretched hand
She stopped short when she saw that she
didn't know the youth
Pardon me, madam he said; 81 seem to
be the victim of an innocent mistake. The
sudden rain drove me to the shelter of your
porch. and your maid, evidently mistaking
me for somebody else, invited me in. / Ger.

The magnificent matron looked at him
with critical eyes
Then she turned to the maid
Janet she said, in severely emphatic
tones, take this young man to the kitchen
and give him an umbreler"
And when the youth heard her say cum
breller" he felt that he was amply avenged
for the humiliation of the stuation.-Cleve

 ir1c Sfafiar

The report of the purchase of Mission Rock by the United States Government to be used by 1t as a new naval station is premature. The matter has not assum- ed form as yet, the report having but slight foundation upon which to rest The Government is casting about for a suit able location for drydocks and coal ing station, and, among other sites, it's agents inspected Mission Rock.
 This rock has an area of about thirteen acres and is about five hundred yards off shore. It is situated in the bay, on line with Second street.

 Late in August said he yesterday, "a representative of the Government called upon me and asked if our property was for sale. He came as the accredited rep reSentative of the United States and was seeking suitable sites in this bay, at Hon. olulu, Samoa and elsewhere
 We told him that our property could be purchased, but the question of price there and this is the first mention that has been made of 1t. Ours was not the only site under consideration The mat ter of purchase would be a most com plicated one, as Congress would, of ne- cessity, have to pass upon 1t. Nothing could be done for some time"

THE STATES WAR CLAIM. It Amounts to About $12O,oOO, and Will Be Presented by Adjutant
 General Barrett

Adjutant General Barrett. accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Burgin, inspector of rifle practice of the National Guard of California, will leave for Washington, D. C., on Monday to present to the War Department the claim of the State for the expenses incurred in preparing for the war with Spain. The claim amounts in round figures to $12o 900, and is for the mobilization of troops in this city, and for equipments furnished by the State The original claim was in excess of this amount, but the Federal Government had an offset for equipments previously fur nished. There will be settlement, and when that is reached the State will have a neat sum with which to proceed with the work of reorganizing the National Guard. The two officials expect to have the whole matter settled within thirty days, and they will then return to this city.
 Out of the money to be received the State will be. called upon to pay about s300OO for transportation of troops from various points, and $S000 more for other expenses incurred during the war.

 San Leandro vii soon be busy manu- featuring center, for in a few weeks time work will begin on one of the largest fruit canning establishments in the State. This was decided upon at a meeting last night between the representatives of a San Francisco firm, the San Leandro Board of Trade and various citizens who have been interested for months in rais- ing a bonus to induce the new enterprise to commence business.
 Last evening MT. Morse. of the firm of King Morse & Go. of San Francisco, met the promoters of the enterprise and each side was prepared to put forward its in- ducements. On behalf of San Leandro a cash bonus of 5000 was offered, in ad- dition to a whole block of land near the depot for the cannery. This bonus is al- ready in hand, having been collected dur ing the past year, and as soon as ground is broken the money will be handed over to the firm of King, Morse & Co.
 The canning company agrees to build a cannery which will handle not less than 100000 cases of twenty-four cans in case each year. They agree that not less than 50 cents shall be paid for local labor for each case, which means that $10OO0O will be paid for labor each fall in San Leandro.
 This news has been received with much rejoicing by the town. The movement to procure a cannery was started about a year ago by the Board of Trade, Rev. Father McAvoy (since deceaseO, Rev. Barton J.

CHURCH IS PROGRESSING
EPWoRTH LEAGUE IS GROWING

Rev. MT. Lamar Says He Fears Moth ing From the Charges Brought by Friends of pr.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, Sept. 29
 The special jury that is engaged in the trial of Rev. Dr. Briggs for immortality held two sessions to-day while the routine work of the M. E. Church South Confer ence proceeded at Asbury Church.
 Dr. D. M. Dubose, general secretary of the Epworth League, presented his re- port to the conference, showing that dur ing the year much material progress has been made. The organ of the league and the literary schemes which were in vogue are rapidly increasing in popularity, and both are helping to advance its general interest.
 There are at present senior league chap ters, 4l55; members, 1S6.975. Junior league chapters, 450; members, 202,725. In addi- tlon to these members there are about 5o,OOO unchartered leaguers, making a grand total of 352, ,725.
 total result of four years work that Sl,0TT,SSS had been received from all sources. Ten missionaries have been added to the number working in foreign fields, and PIT new members have been received.
 Eighteen new parsonages. have been built, and the work of church extension has been very marked.
 The following were elected as elders of the church, the necessary. vouchers for eligibility having been filed: Guv H. Fraser, William Acton, E. T. Ramsey Lucius c. Smith, Stephen E.. Wilson, Jo- seph Buie, Robert S. Boyns and c. R. On DtiietlL Ol tue ASpuTN Church it's pastor made a very fattering report, showing that the many branches of work were all fourishing and new members being added.
 Mrs. Bell Bennett, president of the Home Mission Society, gave. an address tonight on that branch of the work.
 The prospects are that the trial of Rev. pr. R. J. Briggs will occupy more time than was anticipated at the opening. The jury sits twice a day.
 AS yet 1t is quite uncertain what the verdict will be, but 1t Is whispered that the testimony is very strong against pr. Briggs. The past history of the accused has been very thoroughly looked up, and the testimony shows at what hotels he stopped; under what names he registered rounding such occasions. Letters that he wrote to the fairer sex are also brought forward. In fact, no stone is left un- turned to prove guilt or establish inno- cence.. In the event of an unfavorable yer, dict, Rev. Mir. Briggs will have an appeal to the general conference, which will not meet again until 1902.
 At the conclusion of pr. Briggs trial the charges against Rev. MT. Lamar, presid- ing elder of the San Francisco district, will be heard in a similar manner. If Rev. MT. Lamar is annoyed by the sensation produced when Rev. J. E. Carpenter an- preferred against him, he does not show 1t in the least He gracefully declines to discuss the matter, and smiles indiffer- entity when the subject is broached; while Dr. Carpenter appears to feel con fdent that the charges will prove seri- ous. though he too, refrainS with sealed lips to utter a syllable to the press.
