RUM AND ITS GREAT COST. MRS. MARY TEATS PORTRAYS THE DESTROYER. She Pleads for Woman's Suffrage as a Remedy for j Intoxication. Mrs. Mary E. Teats', the well-known temperance lecturer, delivered two ad- dresses at the Fourteenth and X streets church yesterday afternoon and even- ing to good audiences. Tfte first talk was- to mothers, the speaker touching in a delicate manner on themes pertaining to heredity, social purity, and motherhood. The lecture in the evening was on the Influence and cost of liquor to the American people. Among other things, the speaker said: -What we need in this country to-day is a new conscience applied to politics and business. There are nearly a quarter of a million people buried every year whose deaths are charge- able, directly or indirectly, to whisky* in some form. Ninety per cent, of our crimes are caused by liquor, yet there is not a great political party that is arrayed against the traffic. The Bible says that drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Do you know. I never read that passage of Scripture without wondering what will become of the drunkard makers. Yet the brewervand distillers, the saloonkeepA-s and the voters who license saloons are responsible for this." The speaker referred to the case of a prominent Cincinnati brewer, Charles Fisher, who recently died, as a sample of the false sentiment of the times. He had been eulogized by the press as a "good citizen and a man of broad philanthropy." She read a few newspaper clippings that showed that Fisher had been a guest of President McKinley, ana said: "It was this man's money, his two millions, that got him these eulogies. A brewer is really as bad as a mur- derer, and a eulogy on the one is as much in place as a eulogy on the other." Mrs. Teats showed that the liquor bill of this country alone amounts to more than all the annual gold and silver coinage of this country and of four principal countries of Europe. She said that the drink bill of Chicago amounts each year to more than 986,- --000,000, which sum would feed the poor Of that city?more than 100*000 strong ?and give all of them homes and fine m3dern accommcdations. Chicago was but one example in many of the ex- travagance of the drink habit in this country. The speaker closed with an eloquent plea for sobriety and good citizenship, saying that it was the duty of all good people, whether Christian;* or not, to cast their votes for men who would do all in their power to suppress the liquor traffic, a thing that was more detri- mental to the country than any other one influence. She pleaded for wo- man's rights on the ground that the saloon men fear the woman's votes more than all else. She said she was a voter nearly thirty years ago in Wyoming, and she did not believe it would hurt all women to vote, as she had found the experi- ence a benefit. She said she had fig- ures that showed that a recent pop- ular party convention in Chicago was composed of 723 delegates, of whom 4L't'» were saloonkeepers, criminals, pool- s -Hers, prize-fighters, murderers, or men who had served time for some crime. They got into a fight in the convention, and this lasted nearly two hours. At women's conventions' she had never witnessed such diversions. At2:3op. m. to-day. at the First Bap- tist Church, Mrs. Teats will lecture on "Normal Purity," with a chart lesson. ESTATES IN PROBATE. Petitions Filed in the Superior Court Yesterday. Ora Runyon-Buckman has petitioned the Superior Court to require the ex- ecutors to render their final account of the estate ©f Solomon Runyon, de- ceased, and also that her share of the estate be distributed to her. Judge Hughes has issued a citation to the ex- ecutors to render their account on Oc- tober 7th, or show cause for not doing so. A. J. Rhoads has filed in the Su- perior Court his petition for letters of administration on the estate of Emil Anderson, deceased, which consists'df a promissory note for $480. Ella Coffield, administratrix of the estate of Niels Coffield. has petitioned the Sui>erior Court to set as4de the whole estate, consisting of £.">45 in money and a cemetery lot valued at $260 for the use of herself and her children, who are the heirs. James It. I>ors«-y, administrator of the estate of Ella B. Dorsey, deceased, having filed his final account and pe- tioned for the distribution of the estate. Judge Hnejhes has granted a decree of final distribution of the estate to him. NUDE BATHERS. Constable Russell of Washington is After Them. Notwithstanding all that has been published in the way of warnings to men and youths who have t>een in the habit of bathing in the river in full view of people living on this and the Yolo side, the practice has been kept up until it has become an intolerable nuisance. Constable Russell of Washington con- cluded that if the Sacramento authori- ties could not nut a stop to these daily exhibitions of indecency he would do so for the protection of the people of that village. He consulted with a law- yer and found that he had jurisdiction over such offenses within a certain radius outside of his township. Yesterday a gang of young men from 10 to 18 years of age, including one negro, were disporting themselves on the Sacramento side of the river north of the Pioneer Mill, and he went for them. The bathers took to the brush, got on a portion of their clothing and scattered in all directions. Russell and a young deputy chased the negro all the way to Third and I streets, where Yardmaster O'Connor headed him off and assisted in his cap- ture. Russell marched the indecent fellow over to Washington, where Jus- tice Gill promptly sentenced him to ten days in jail. Constable Russell and Justice Gill de- serve the thanks of people on this side of the river for coming to their relief. Our water supply has enough to con- tend with without being polluted right at our doors, to say nothing of the out- rages on decency that have been per- petrated all summer long in the local- ity mentioned. TEXAS FEVER. Cattle in the Vicinity of Suisun Dying in Numbers. (Rio Vista News, Sept. 23d.) Stock owners in the neighborhood of Suisun are greatly alarmed at the pre- valence of Texas fever, which has broken out among the cattle in the tule ranges. Cattle have been dying by- hundreds and vigorous efforts will be made to stamp out the disease at once. At the meeting of the Board of Su- pervisors Monday, Dr. W. G. Downing was appointed County Health Officer. The latter has named Dr. J. T. Sulli- van, the well-known veterinary surgfcon of Suisun, as his deputy, and all own- ers of stock which has died from the effects of the fever will be notified to bury the carcasses at once, or burn them so the danger of infection will be averted. The disease comes in a peculiar man- ner. The cattle are bitten by a sort of tick, which poisons the blood, the spleen being particularly affected. The animal becomes bloated and' dies in a short time. The disease has reached such propor- tions around Suisun that the public are afraid to use beef in any quantities. It is supposed that the germs were brought in by the cattle brought tip from the southern country to be pas- tured on the tule lands near Suisun. The plague has grown to such seri- ous proportions that the stockmen must take steps to stamp it out, or at least confine it to the present infected dis- tricts. B. F. Rush and Pierce Brothers, who are very extensive stockmen. have taken the initiative in calling a mass meeting of interested parties and have sent through the county the following letter: "Dear Sir: Owing to the alarming spread of the Texas fever the stockmen of this county have come to the con- clusion that they must take immediate steps to stop further spread and if pos- sible rid our lands of fever ticks, which might cause a fresh outbreak another season. "For this purpose a meeting has been called for Saturday, September 24th, to the held at the Fairfield Court- house, to which all stockmen and es- pecially breeders, are invited to attend. The meeting will lie called at 1 p. m. sharp. The principal action of this meeting will be to draft a form of ordi- nance that will protect our several in- terests and which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for their ac- tion at their next meeting." TWENTIETH CENTURY. First Annual Rallying Day of Da- visville Presbyterians. Rev. J. W. Dorrance, pastor of the Davisville Presbyterian Church, writes to the "Record-Union" as follows: "Last Sunday was a day long to be remembered by the Presbyterians in Davisville and vicinity. The seating capacity of the church was no.t suffi- cient to accommodate the large number present. The pulpit, banked with beautiful flowers and having a back- groui 1 of artistically draped flags, produced a pleasing effect. "The occasion was the first annual Rallying Day in the interests of the ?Twentieth Century Movement,' which aims to bring a half-million of new scholars Into the Sabbath-schools of the United States on or before April 1, ltfOl. "Interesting programs, consisting of solos, choruses, hymns and recitations, were rendered both morning and even- ing by the Choir, glee club and Sun- day-school scholars. "During the day two names were added to the church membership roll, and twelve names to that of the Young People's Society of Christian En- deavor. "An offering amounting to $15.59 was received for the benefit of Sabbath- school missions." FRED SMITH'S JUMP. It Was Off the Yolo Bridge Into the River Below. Fred. Smith made a jump yesterday afternoon from the top of the Yolo bridge into the river in an attempt at suicide. He sunk for a few moments, but soon reappeared and his body lloated down stream for half a mile, and he was revetted by a boatman. His head was hurt, and he was dazed, but will sus- tain no serious injury from his leap. He was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, and when asked lust night why be made the Jump, said he did not know. A sudden impulse came to him on the bridge, and he obeyed it. He did not know whether he intended to commit suicide or not. The police think that morphine, to which, he is addicted, was the cause <>f his aberration. Weather Reports.

A LARGELY ATTENDED MEET- ING LAST NIGHT. The Club Needs More Room?An Address by William Lamphrey. There was the usual large and en- thusiastic attendance last night at *.he meeting of the Railway Employes' Po- litical Club. Many new faces were no- ticeable in the audience, which shows that the Organization Committee are still pursuing their work with beneficial results. Secretary Heffron read a communica- tion from the President of the General Advisory Board in San Francisco, ac- cepting the Sacramento club's basis of representation on said board ?one rep- resentative for every 150 members. He also read a communication from H. L. Sanborn, Chairman of the Advi- sory Board, setting forth the true prin- ciples and objects of the organization. The matter was referred to the Exec- utive Committee, with instructions to take as early action as possible. The committee appointed to secure a larger place for the club's meetings re- ported that they had as yet been un- able to secure a larger and more com- fortable hall than the one now being- used, and requested another week to continue their investigation. Owing to the increased attendance at the club's meetings it has become imperative to secure more commodious accommoda- tions therefor. T. James was elected to fill the va- cancy of Third Vice President created by the resignation of William Ream. C. Rust was elected Treasurer of the club, ex-Treasurer Hilbert having been removed on account of failure to attend meetings regularly. T. Latsking was elected Second As- sistant Sergeant-at-Arms, vice Nichols, removed for a similar reason. William Lamphrey, candidate for County Clerk, was called upon to ad- dress the club, and responded with a well appreciated and much applauded speech. He spoke of the necessity for railway men coming in closer contact with one another for the purpose of considering matters of common inter- est, with a view to the betterment of their condition. The meeting adjourned until naxt Wednesday evening. RAN AMUCK. Tom Richardson Threatened Pe- destrians With a Cobble. Tom Richardson, who lives at 519% X street and has been sick for some time, yesterday afternoon startled pe- destrians in that neighborhood by pur- suing them with a cobble in his hand. He ran over to L street, where he had a squabble with a man, and thence to M, and the patrol wagon, which had been sent for. overtook him on Eighth street, between M and N. He threat- ened Officer Naghel with the cobble, and the latter was compelled to in turn threaten him with his pistol, while Officer Higgins took the cobble away from him, and he was taken to the County Jail and! put in the cell for insane persons. Cases Dismissed. H. L. Jones was arraigned in the City Justice Court yesterday for battery at the race track, but after hearing the evidence the court dismissed the case. Charles Boehm. charged with assault to murder T. W. Dafour, was dismissed, there being no complaint against him on file. Harry Carson, who was arrested for stealing lead pipe, was also discharged, it being the opinion of the City Attor- ney that the evidence was not sufficient to convict.
