Slowly fades the misty twilight
Der the thronged and noisy town:
Storms are gathered in the distance.
And the clouds above it frown.
Yet before me leaves sway lightly
In the hushed and drowsy air,
And the trees new-clothed in verdure
Have no summer of despair.
have gazed into the darkness,
Seeking in the busy crowd
For form once passing onward
With step as firm and proud;
For face upturned in gladness
To the window where l leaned,
Smiling with an eager welcome,
Though a step but interviewed.
Even now my cheek is flushing
With the rapture of that gaze,
And my heart as then beats wildly.
Oh, the memory of those days
AS dear, dear dream it cometh,
Swiftly as a dream it fliesl
No one springeth now unto me.
Smiling with such earnest eyes
No one hastens home at twilight.
Watching for my hand to wave;
For the form | seek so vainly
Sleepeth in the silent grave;
AND the eyes have smiled in dying
Blessing me with latest life
Oh. my friend above the discord
Or the last, wild. earthly strife.

To every pint of lemon juice add
three pints of this mixture: One-half
pint of Jamaica rum, one gill OF best
pounds of sugar loaf, five quarts of
water When ice is added use less
water, for too much water will ruin
the best punch ever made. Stir in each
ingredient as it is added to get the best
effects; the water should not be boiled
The oil in the lemon rinds is essential,
and the best way to extract it is to rub
the rind of the lemon with a lump of
sugar.

HIS SERMON.
More Than Hundred Members Of
the California Society Listen to
Pleasant "reminiscences.

Following in the footsteps of ex-Judge
Niles Searls, $50 members of the Society
of California Pioneers marched into the
Howard Methodist Church yesterday fore
noon to hear pleasant "reminiscences of the
DAYS when there were no electric lights
shining on the streets of San Francisco
In his discourse Rev. DR.. John A. B. Will
son said in part:
Napoleon said that he who made two
blades of grass to grow where but one
grew before was a benefautor of the race

are in the world to make things better

largely to their interest.
His sermon in the morning was on the
keynote of Victory" and was taken
from the text, "Hdve Faith in God He
explained the wonderful power of faith;
the prayer of which was always answered
by divine Providence, and that it was by
faith more than by words and works that
victory over the evil one was achieved.
His subject in the evening related to the
necessity of the cooperation of the lndl-
vidual in bringing souls to the. kingdom
of God, which was the true mission or the
church.
This mission can be successful in va
rious ways he said. "One of these is TO
go to men with love in our hearts and talk
to them about their souls. Men could be
brought to salvation by earnest personal
effort. by our living blameless life,
whereby they would be convinced that
there is reality in the Christian religion
Again, a life of Christian JOY Is splendid
way to reach lost souls.
81 do not believe in long-faced Chris
tianity," concluded DIR. Bane. 1T is sinful
for Christian to be gloomy He ought
to be happy, both in his life and in his
testimony. Live a life of self-sacrif1ce, of
tenderness and love, and many will be en-
couraged to come into the Kingdom OF
God"

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


The funeral of Judge John A. Stanly,
who died at his home, 1921 Jackson street,
this CITY, last Friday morning, took place
this afternoon at st. Pauls Episcopal
Church. of which the deceased was one
of the founders. The services, consisting
of the usual Episcopalian ritual. were i'm
pressively conducted by Rev Dr. Robert
Ritchie, rector of the church, and Rev.
John Bakewell, rector of Trinity Church.
St. Paul's was thronged with many
friends of the departed jurist, and the
floral tributes were numerous and appro-
pirate the more noticeable pieces being
broken wheels. broken columns and sew
eral beautiful pillows and crosses. There
was no music save an organ dirge.

Let US not forget that the duties and

DUNGEONS USUALLY
BREED SKEPTICISM

Rev William RAIDER of the Third Con-
gregational Church delivered a sermon
last night on Prom Desert to Dungeon"
In part he said:
John was a sensational preacher He was
original in dress being clothed with skins;
original in what he ate and what he said To
him belongs the honor of presenting Jesus to
the world and of baptiZing him in the Jordan.
This was a greater honor than writing an
epic or smashing a fleet. He came in contact
with Herod, whose domestic life he attacked.
The rustic preacher retained the iron of his
logic and the strength of his purpose before
the throne The voluptuous life of the court
did not injure him. But he was cast into
prison.
The open air has done much for faith. 1t
is easier to believe under Gods great sky
than in a dungeon. Dungeons usually breed
skepticism. They crush courage. John the
Baptist doubted and he sent to Christ for a
vindication Of his faith. The answer was that
people were being healed and helped and
saved.
Civilization. good laws. good lives. good
charity virtue and benevolence is the best
answer to the appeal from the dungeons.
Great lives are better than good books.

been paid and how the county could have
found a market for much more fruit than
she produced, and while all these things
are engrossing public attention, very
little notice is being taken of the poll
tician. Even the weekly letters on
politics that find their way into print ap-
pear stale, fat and Improbable alongside
the pictures and figures that are proof of
better times than the county has known
for ten years.
Anomalous as it may SEEM the failure
80 carry out many existing contracts is
due to good times, the contractors not be-
ing able TO procure enough lumber or
steel to fulfill their promises. All this
has had it's effect on the public mind, and
there is a general desire to do something.
Oaklanders realize that they have been
backward about twenty years too long,
and that although it is rather late to
wake it is better to be aroused at this
time than to sleep on to death. In every
quarter of the city opinion is favorable
toward the obtaining of great public i'm
proyements by the issuing of bonds. For
the past five years bonds have been
talked of at regular intervals, but the ac-
tual poverty existing made reasonable
foundation for opposing any such large
expenditures. Now ii is different and
civic pride appears to be asserting itself.
A study of the city charter shows that

7ruitvale Man Runs His Fathar-in
Law Into the Street

OAKLAND, Sept. 24.-The bitter feeling
existing for some time between Henry
Miner, residing in the Allendale Tract at
Fruitvale, and his son-in-law, j. G.
Schmidt, reached it's climax tonight. AS
a result the son-in-law was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Quinlan on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon.
Schmidt and his wife have been sepa
rated for some time. This evening he
called on her at the home of her father
Mr. Miner, when the latter. SO Schmidt
claims. accused him of having purloined
watch. After a heated argument
Schmidt is said to have whipped out re-
voIver, fully loaded, and threatened to
shoot off the top of his father-in-laws
head. Miner rushed from his home and
sought protection at the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Quinlan. Schmidt showed fight
when the officer attempted to place him
under arrest. A desperate struggle fol-
lowed, but the officer proved quite equal
to the occasion, telling his man and haul
ing him to the County Jail.

years ago by the hasty and ill-advised
action Of those responsible for its amend

Now, it is as bad in its operation as it is
City Attorney Dow, who has been in office
for five years, and who is member of
the Board of Works, stated that the
present constitution of the ,Joard
Is an absolute failure. Considering
that Mr.. Dow's political friends were
solely responsible for the manner
in which the board is now const-
tuted, the working of the charter must
be very bad indeed when Mr.. Dow will
thus strongly criticize the result of their
work. Judge Stanly, one of the most
level-headed jurists of California, who is
this day being consigned to his grave, was
not actuated by petty politics when ne

formation of the present charter. AS he
left it, 1t was good, and while the city was

stupidity and puerile fighting between the

tions, the chief odium being with those
who made such conditions possible.
