JESUS ENsHRINED IN POETRY
Rev. c. E. Locke Portrays the Savior
 in PoeticaI Expressions.

Central Methodist Church was crowded to the doors last night by the members of the congregation, who came early with a desire to listen to the eloquent discourse In Poetry" Following this discourse two others will be delivered on Jesus in Art" and Jesus in Music
 In dwelling on last nights subject Dr.. Locke said:
 This evening we shaIlview our Christmas King from the graceful slopes of Mount Parnassus. Here about us in picturesque groups are blind Homer, queenly Sappho, and tragic Saphocles. Versatile Shakespeare; Chaucer and Spencer and Pope. and Dryden and Keats: Shelly and Coeridge and Wordsworth. Tennyson and the Brownings, Whittier. Lowell and Longfellow. Some of the divinest of these bards have at tuned their Tyres and sung to us of the Christ
 Poetry is a gift of God. It is the artistic expression of the human mind in emotional and ryhthmical language It is one of the work in the elevation and refinement of man. kind Poetry proves the divinity and immor- do we become like God in love and power.'
 The poet Is priest of nature. He catches the music of nature and. like Lucy Larcom. tnterprets the ripplings of the waterfall; like Wordsworth the swaying of the pines, and like Milton. the delicate tintings of the sunset. The poet Is also a priest of holiness. It has been we'll said that can be great poet who has not been born again-that Is, born from above. He is priest of life. The poet Is priest of Christliness and 1t Is in this ca pacity that we listen tonight to his tender and persuasive gospel. David and Isaiah and Ma lachi foretold the coming of Christ in rhyth- mical cadences. The exultant Virgin broke forth in poetical rejoicings of remarkable beauty she fully comprehended the truths of the Annunciation. And In all the hurry ing centuries men have felt the genius of poesy, 1t Is when they have chosen Christ as their theme that they have wrought master pieces of song, and moved the hearts of men. The Dantes the Mtons and the Shakespeares have made themselves immortal in all ages because they have permitted God to speak through their souls concerning Redeemer and his great truths. Poets are made great by the majesty and inspiration of such a ce- lestial theme
 In concluding pr. Locke said: Let us associate with the poets. The man who does not love the great poets has allowed the sublimer instincts of his nature to remain undeveloped. By the aid of the poet we scale the heights of divinity and associate with the inflnite.'

KNEW HIS PRISONER
 WAS NOT JOHN REDDY
OFFICER KEYES TALKS OF HIS
 ENCOUNTER IN OAKLAND.
Tells the First Connected Story of the Affray in Which He Was
 Nearly Killed.

ALAMEDA, Dec. 11.-Offlcer Charles Reyes, who was shot and seriously wounded in Oakland while endeavoring to serve a warrant on John Reddy, is now at his home in this city and has recovered sufficiently to be allowed to see a few visitors. Reyes says he struggled with his assaiant almost from the time he placed him under arrest near Market and Seventh streets. When they reached Jefferson square the prisoner ,grappled down and made two futile attempts to handcuff him. The man finally broke away, and after running about fifteen paces turned and began firing on the of ficer. Reyes says he pulled his gun at the same instant and the pair shot simul- taneously.
 "I am confident one of my shots took effect" said Reyes, because l noticed the man stagger. I believe l would have killed the fellow if had my own weapon, but l was carrying a borrowed pistol and I was not on to its action. The first bull let that struck me was the one that went through my body. I fell, although l did not lose consciousness. The fellow then deliberately walked up to me and fired at my head, the bullet taking effect in my jaw. At the time 1 knew that l did not have Reddy under arrest, but from the struggle he made to get away from me l was satisfied I had a desperate criminal in tow. l was endeavoring to find an Oakland officer to deliver my pris- oner to when the shooting occurred"
 This Is the first connected story Of the affair that the wounded officer has made for publication.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

90S Broadway, Dec. Il.
 Professor Edwin L. Knowlton Is wiser man than he was week ago. His latest piece of wisdom cost him hotel bill for two days and little chagrin. He is now looking for his latest acquaintance.
 The professor is a very liberal man, and when principal of a public school in this county was noted for his generosity. A few days ago a very bright-looking young man called on the professor at his office in the Blake & Moffitt block and told him a very pretty little story. The stranger had been up against it. of late, he sald and he had accidentally seen the name of Knowlton on sign-his very own name. Curiosity led him to see if this particular Knowlton might not be relative-he had several scattered all over the earth.
 The professor at once became interested. and when sufficiently won over his caller chanced to remember that he had nu-cash in his pockets, but he had a note that would be payable in a few days. Very opportune, he told the professor, to meet an interested and interesting man of the same name-"so many people would have at once concluded l was an impoStor, don't you know"
 The professor was informed that the other alleged Knowlton was from Aus tralia. and this accounted for his English accent. If the professor could let him have 'arf sovereign'-no, he forgot, a couple of dollars, 1t would be so kind of him. The money from Australia would be here in a few days, only it was beastly uncomfortable not to be able to raise the wind when a storm was so close.
 Professor Knowlton took the other Knowlton to the Henry House and told the proprietor to look after him. He was then asked if he would do like favor at a restaurant, just till the money arrived. Quite easy. The professors credit is good anywhere in town. so he took the other Knowlton to the Barber restaurant. and he ate there for two whole days, with but slight intermissions.
 The rest is soon told. The day came, but no money and no other Knowlton But the professor paid up, and he confided to friend that he hopes the next Knowl- ton that calls on him will not be a rela- tive, as there Is likely to be a row in the family.

abrasions of the face and probable in ternal injuries which may prove fatal

abrasions of the face and probable in- ternal injuries which may prove fatal
 A diagnosis of the case showed that amputation of the arm was necessary When the injured man was informed of this he asked that the operation be post poned until he could summon some friends. At his request a note was sent to Charles Fair, and as he was not to be found Falkenberg asked that Mayor Phelan be called. In response to tele- hospital, and shortly after his arrival Fair, accompanied by pr. Tate, came to see the injured man. Falkenberg was re- moved to the French Hospital, where pr. Tate amputated the arm
 Falkenberg was for ten years manager of a ranch of James G. Fair in Alameda County. After the death of the Senator he was employed by the trustees for some time, but about three years ago went to- New York. The world did not treat him kindly, and about a year ago he returned to California, and since that time has been making a living at any odd work he could find to do.
 While drinking in saloon last evening man approached Falkenberg and in moving safe down the stairway of a neighboring building. Falkenberg ac- companied the man, and with his help and that of five other men the safe was Six men were above the safe with rope which they paid out slowly. Falkenberg was in front of the safe with a pinchbar to block it's progress. In some manner the men above lost control of the rope and the safe crashed down the stairs, carrying Falkenberg with 1t. The doors at the foot of the stairs were torn from their hinges and splintered and the floor was broken to pieces.
 Falkenberg is an unmarried man, 37 years of age. His father, the late Baron Falkenberg was for twenty-six years the Swedish and Norwegian Consul to Quebec Canada. where the son was born and lived the early portion of his life. He was at one time superintendent of the and it was while in that city that he made the acquaintance of Mayor Phelan.

RAN DOWN AN AGED MAN. Reckless Drivers Cause Dennis Me
 Carthy Serious Injury.

OAKLAND, Dec. u.-Dennis McCarthy a gardener residing at Thirty-ninth and Grove streets, was run down by a vehicle at Piedmont and Moss avenue crossing early this evening and was found uncon- scious by Motorman Ashford and Conduc- tor F. J. Thompson of car 107 of the Pied mont electric line Those who had run him down did not stop to see how seri- ously he was injured.
 At the Receiving Hospital Dr. Stratton and Steward Tobin treated Mccarthy for broken nose, an ugly gash on the fore head and torn lip. His heart is decidedly weak, he is aged, and it is not unlikely that under these conditions his injuries may prove fatal.
 He regained consciousness and said some reckless drivers had run him down. Their identity was not known to him, but he thought they were boys. He did not blame them, for said he, What can you expect of boyS?'
