URGED THE SINGLE TAX.Industrial History Reviewed by

A.H. Sanborn Before theSociety.

Mr. Reynolds Gives an Account ofthe Present Campaign In

Delaware.

The meeting of the Single Tax Societylast night in the Foresters' building, 102O'Farrell street, was a very interestingone. The principal speaker, was A. H.Sanborn. Ex-President James S. Rey-nolds also gave an account of the singletax campaign in Delaware and a recentaction of the City Council of Glasgow,Scotland, in favorof single tax. Mr.San-born said insubstance:

The main purpose for which the Governmentofthe United States was established was togivefreedom to the people. The development ofthe country ran along smoothly for a while,but finally the question of slavery had to bemet and settled.

Only a few persons started the agitationagainst slavery, but the movement culminatedin the election of an anti-slavery man forPresi-dent, and ultimately slavery was overthrown.With this evil done away withpeople naturallylooked foran era of prosperity. The wealth ofthe Nation wonderfully increased, populationpoured in,and the material resources were de-veloped. Soon, however, industrial troublesbegan, the panic of 1873 occurred, and labordisturbances and strikes were the conse-quences, v

The tramp phenomena commenced. Peoplebegan to.look around for the. causes of thebusiness depression. The reasons assignedhave .been extravagance on the part of thecitizen, over-production and the payment ofthe war debt; but none of these adequatelyexplained the difficulty,until in 1878 Henry

j George published his book, "Progress andPoverty,

'and showed that the depression was

due to the private ownership or land, thepeople being compelled to pay for the right toliveon the earth, and that the system of land-lordism with its collection of ground rents forthe use of the land was the real cause.

The Astors alone collect $9,000,000 annuallyinrents, and the aggregate rental inthis coun-try is almost past calculation. Until.this sys-tem of extortion is stopped we cannot haveprosperity among the masses. The -"ingle taxwillstop it.

Speaking ot the campaign in DelawareMr.Reynolds said that twenty-live speak-ers stumped that State every Saturdaynight. - Dr. R. S. Law, he remarked, hap-pened to have been in Philadelphia whenhe heard of the movement "On to Dela-ware" and went down there to see how itworked. That gentleman found _ the peo-ple very liberal and with minds free fromany "sham reform theories." Referringto Scotland Mr.Reynolds said:. The Town Council of Glasgow, recentlyadopted, by a vote of __*\u25a0> to 24. after a long andbitter contest, resolutions favoring the taxa-tion only of land values and ordering theTown Clerk to invite the co-operation of as-sessors and the authorities generally through-out Scotland to co-operate with the council andjoinina petition to the British Parliament foran act enabling the cityof Glasgow to carry theplan into effect. These resolutions had -beenpending inthe council ever since 1890.

President H. F. Dessau took occasion••to

commend certain newspapers to the sup-portof the members of the _ society. Hementioned the Star of \u25a0; this .City;and theSt. Louis Single-Tax Courier as two weeklypapers worthy of support," and for a .dailyhe said The Call was very fair in its treat-ment of economic questions and should befully appreciated, v. ;\u25a0-"-

AROUNDTHEWATER FRONTArrivalof the Bark Guy C. Goss

With Scurvy AmongHer Crew.

THE DOCKS GO A-FISHING.

Narrow Escape of the Bark EnochTalbot From Drifting Ashore

Yesterday.

Yesterday the water front went Ashing.The people of the docks dropped theirhooks down in the water and waited fornibbles. They sat on the pierheads, wherethe, tides swept around the outermost pilesand swung the baited snares temptinglybefore the finny swimmers. They strungthemselves in the slips where the waterswere still around the ships, and even fishedthrough the cracks and holes of the plank-paved streets into the bay below. Out onPowell-street wharf they caught smelt, at

Fisherman's wharf they Looked every-thing, from a bullhead to a shark; on Fol-som street the catch was devil-fish andyoung sharks, that part of the bay beingalive with the villainous fry.

The British ship Port Patrick, CaptainHavton. arrived, 150 days from Antwerp.AtPlymouth, en route to this port, thecaptain then in command was taken sickand was succeeded by Captain Hayton.The first officer was caught broaching thecargo of liquor and arrested. He was dis-charged and a new officer put inhis place.

The yachtsmen returned from their highjinks at Alameda in the morning, makinga pretty picture as their iaunty craftspread out over the baj*. They were ledby the Chispa, the Whirlwind, Ramona,Seven Bells, Frolic, Idler, Rover, Speed-well, Annie and others.

The bark Enoch Talbot, which left hereSaturday for Puget Sound, had a narrowescape from going ashore yesterday. Shedrifted south in light and baffling windsuntil she was near the beach, about eightmiles below the hearts. Efforts were madeto work her off shore, and finding hisvessel settling steadily ashore the captainlet go the anchor in three fathoms ofwater, with the bark's stern within fiftyfeet of the beach.

The vessel was seen by Captain GilBrokaw of the tug Alert and the life-savingcrew. The tug and the boats went to therescue, but Captain Johnson of the barkdeclined assistance as the sea was like amillpond and the wind only a faint breeze.Using his kedges he managed to warp hisvessel offintodeep water and escaped theshipwreck that closely menaced .'him.

The American bark Guy C. Goss, Cap-tain W. M. Mallett, 164 days from Balti-more, arrived witha cargo of coal. Fromlatitude 17 south in the Atlantic to lati-tude 40 north in the Pacific, the vessel ex-perienced hard weather with a succession ofgales accompanied by heavyrain and thun-der-storms. On theTth of this month thebark was boarded by a high sea which struckher a little abaft the starboard beam, carry-ing away all the sail and wrecking thequarterdeck \u25a0house. First Mate Crockettwas struck by a piece of broken timber andseverely injured. He is now confined tohis berth in the cabin.

Five of the crew. Robert Mills,AndrewWetland, Charles Lingrent, William Brownand Ole Olsen are sick with scurvy and willbe sent to the Marine Hospital. Two ofthe men are confined to their bunks withsores and discolored places on their limbs.The men do not complain of ill-treatmenton the part of the captain and officers, butattribute the disorder to lack of properfresh food. Captain Mallettstates that hecannot understand why the men should besick, as he tried to guard against any dis-ease of a scurvy nature by giving the menlime juice, vinegar and pickles.

As the boarding-house runners werehooking on to the bark Guy C. Goss whenshe came into the harbor, a boat contain-ing Joseph Wall and Charles Reed wasthrown against the boat of the Sailors'Home, breaking a hole in it. Both boatswere overturned and the three men weresoon struggling in the water astern of thebark. The men were picked up by CharlesLove,boatman at Folsom-street wharf.

VISITED THE ASSOCIATION.Oakland Christians Hold Meetings on

This Side of the Bay.Yesterday and Saturday a delegation

from the Oakland Young Men's ChristianAssociation returned the visit made by theSan Francisco association two or threeweeks ago, and took charge of the meet-ings in the building at the corner of Ellisand Mason streets. Dinner was ,served inthe association banquet .hall Saturdayevening, after which three instructive five-minute papers were read and discussed,the most practical of them being on thesubject, "How to Usher at Meetings."

Yesterday afternoon D. Edward Collins,secretary of the Oakland association, con-ducted the young men's meeting in Asso-ciation Hall. ,He compared life to a voy-age, and illustrated his talk withnautical .similes. The men who had accomplishedthe most in the world were those who hadstruck out boldly into life and had notkept closely to the safely beaten track of

j conservative ancestors. The great ship ac-Icomplished much more than the little

coaster, but for its work stronger mastsand stouter timbers are needed. So withmen. There had been in former timesthose who shut themselves apart that theymight devote their lives to God. The need

} of to-day, however, is men who would go!forth into the world to work for Christ.j Stronger characters are needed, perhaps,j and such men can accomplish vastly morej than the "glass-case" brand of Christians.

CYCLISTS ON THE WHIRL.How They Overrun Golden

Gate Park and the OceanBeach. .

A FAD THAT IS SPREADING.

Citizens of'High and Low Degree

Who Have Taken to the Joy-

ous Wheel.'

If any one doubts the fact that ? the"bike" fever has come totown and is rap-idly assuming the proportions of an epi-demic, all that doubting Thomas has to dois to go to Golden Gate Park, especially onSunday, and view the array,of whirlingwheels .with their, nattily attired riders,that is from early morning untilnightfall,and even after, .passing to and fro throughthe winding paths.Ithas attacked persons in allconditions

of life, evidently, from happy-go-lucky,

adolescent Californian togray-haired, dig-nified Judges and business men, withaheterogeneous mass ofall sorts of citizensthrown in between. That it is on the in-crease is evident by the scores of newwheels that flash in the sunlight each suc-cessive Sunday.. Where a year ago riders could be counted

by the dozen they are now to be seen bythe hundred, and it is prophesied by thepark policemen that, ifthe fever increasesmuch more, .equipages with horses at-tached willbe a novelty in the park paths.Yesterday there was not only an unusualturning out of wheelmen, but there weremany new faces to be seen— riderß whohad just mastered \u25a0\u25a0 the intricacies of bal-ancing ! themselves, and had not beenseen before outside the precincts of theirtraining school. Then, too, many of thesenew riders were men of prominence inbusiness and social circles and in officiallife. Itwas interesting to note their stylesof riding, their varied costumes and as-sorted "brands" of bicycles.

One of the new riders who created some-what of a sensation in the "charmed cir-cle" of the park was Clement Bennett, thestenographer of the United States courts.He was guided around by a chaperon, whogave the novice all sorts of instructions asto how to become a graceful "biker." Not-withstanding the repeated assertions of histrainer that he was not in a buggy, Mr.Bennett insisted on leaning back in hisseat, thereby throwing a well-rounded con-tour against the atmosphere. He expectsto be able "togo italone" after about fivemore lessons. Two other amateurs werenoticed practicing ina side path, where theythought ,they were secure from \u25a0 observa-tion. One was Adolph Dnnker, brother 'ofthe Supervisor, and the other was \u25a0.•Billy,"Koch, the well-known painter, who at onetime gave promise of being a prize fisher-man. Neither has intimated to his closestfriends that he is learning to ride or thathe is the owner of gorgeous brown knicker-bockers.

The members of the Red Rock CyclingClub were out in force yesterday. It ismade Up. of prominent men about townand all its members are enthusiastic"bikers." Rome Harris is the captain,and he and Bill Harrison cut a wideswath along the highways. "Andy"Smith,the renowned pacemaker, who has Har-rison in training fora five-mile spin againsttime, followed them with Michael Lynch,also a promising record-breaker. > Othermembers of the club who were out yester-

Iday were Jim Cheslie, Jack Dean, "Pop"!Sullivan, W. W. Naiurhton, Fred Mackey,!Louis Stockheiser, Charley Martin, Danj O'Connell, the local bard of:Erin, Oscarj Tollie,Tom Flynn, the journalist, James jiGillman, Larry Flanagan, Fred *Mulhol- j|land. the oracle of the

-Bay District Race j

!Track, Thomas Boyle, the whirlwind riderjof The Call office,; Billy Driscoll,1Ned!Lanigan, Healy iDavis, Tom Quinn, BobBarton, Charley ;Flynn, Eddie Moran,Dick Sparks and others.

The police force -is well representedamong the sufferers from the fever. PoliceSergeant John Martin, 7 who ,has beenriding for some .time, has reduced hisweight from 225 to 174 pounds. 7 Urged onby the same motive, Sergeant MichaelJoseph Conboy practices daily, but he isstill rotund. Then there are Officers PeterRichter and Jerry Dinan,- who push thewheel. There are* others, too, who arepracticing, but have not yet appeared inpublic. /

Many members of• the . San 7FranciscoStock and Exchange Board have ceased togo out in buggies on*Sundays, and havetaken to the wheel. Those to,be seen mostare -O. V. Walker, the caller; J. M. Shot-well, iC. E. PaxtonKH. H. Shinn, BertCollin, Ed Cahill and A. McDonald.

L. PlumereFs Wife and Chil-dren Left ina Destitute

Condition.

The Wife Told the Police That HeHad Eloped With a Laundry-

man's Wife.

Mrs. Leon Plumerel of 1717 Leavenworthstreet told a sad story to the police Satur-day. She had been deserted by herhusband, who lefther destitute with threeyoung children. More than that Mrs.Plumerel had every reason to believe thather recreant husband was accompanied bya woman, the wife of a laundryman onPolk street and the mother of threechildren.

Plumerel was 37 years of age and fairlygood looking.

-The wife showed the lines

ofcare and hard work, for since their mar-riage sixteen years ago she had done hershare in providing for the household andcaring for the children. The couple livedinthis City for the past seven years. Fora time Leon kept a cigar-stand, but for twoyears they had a novelty braiding, beadingand embroidery factory"at 530 Jones street.

"My husband left me on July 28," saidMrs. Plumerel. "Iwent to the shop andfound that he had taken withhim the bestof the machines.

"We had a little cottage in Chicago andwhen we decided to go into this businesswe mortgaged the property in order tobuythat particular machine for fine work. Heleft only the old machines. Isuspectedthat the laundrvman's wife had elopedwith him, butIwas not sure untilFriday,when his sister's husband called on meand asked where my husband could befound. Itold him that Mr.Plumerel hadgone, and he said, 'Then my sister-in-lawhas gone with him.'"Icalled upon her husband, but he only

said that his wifehad gone to the countryfor her health and for me not to say any-thingabout his wife and myhusband. Hethinks she may come back to him, and sheis of great use to him inhis business."

ALONG THE OCEAN BEACH.Dr. Riehl Does a Beautiful

Kite-Shaped Trick Witha String.

BEAUTY OUT IN BLOOMEKS.

Thousands of People Watch theAnnual Northward Flight of

Birds.

Great were the crowds and varied theattractions on the beach yesterday. FromSutro Heights to Ocean View thousandsmoved on foot, on horseback, incarriagesand on bikes. The ;merry-go-round wentits mad whirlto the wheezy notes of acrazy melodeon, while the rolling waveswhitened into playful breakers as theywashed up against the shins of the myriadof youngsters scudding under bare poleson the sands.7 There was the bloomer girl in blue, andbrown and gray, on a bicycle built fortwo, and some not built that way. Therewas the man with the lunch basket andhis wife with the young ones, groupedhere and there on the sand dunes.

And there was Dr. Riehl. Everybodyknows Dr. Riehl, the eminent hydropath.Well, he was there, and he flew a kite andmade a speech inhis bare feet and a PrinceAlbert coat, as he toyed gently with adagger swung carelessly from a cordaround his neck. He made a distinct hitand, as that was what he was after, theeminent hydrnpath was happy.*

First of all.Dr. Riehl was advertised togive an exhibition of his kite-shaped life-saving device, warranted to work faster,witha string to it,than anything in thepresent life-saving service of Uncle Sam.As good as his word, Dr. Riehl appearedpromptly at 3 o'clock to the sow-sow-westand a little to the loo 'ard of Happerty'slunch counter, where the bikes gather insuch numbers. He had inhis left hand asix-foot paper kite and in his right about200 yards of stout cord wound about astick. He was hatless and his feet werebare. His bosom was protected by a redshirt. He was flanked and supported by ared-headed boy, who had been specially en-gaped to give color to the affair.. The doctor's appearance was hailed withdelight, and he bowed pleasantly to thegathering crowds as he" gave his instruc-tions to the red-headed boy. Curl-paperswere placed on the tail of the kite, the doc-tor poised itin the balmy breeze and thered-headed boy started on a run for thesounding sea. Up, up went the kite, thedoctor sprinted after the mascot and thecrowd cheered. The doctor was about toshow how the new scheme worked. Sta-tioning the mascot to hold the kitestring,Where the foam broke in lather on the faceof the rocks, the doctor began walkingsouth, unwinding another hundred yardsof string before he made the second stop.Doffing the Prince Albert and a pair oftrousers he stood revealed in crimsontights, a dagger glistening on his breastabove an aldermanic paunch. He wastedno time, but, tying the cord under his arm,proceeded seaward amid the plaudits of themultitude.

"When Iraise my arm like this," heshouted to the fiery-headed mascot, suit-ing the action to the word, "let go thestring." Then he jumped into the briny,breasting the waves like a Triton nntil hehad pone out a distance of about fiftyyards. Up went the hand, and the red-headed boy loosened his hold on the cord

as the doctor turned gently over on hisback, floating, like a cork. ;,The crowdshouted again as the kite shot higher intothe' air and the -booming waves ;slappedagainst the floater's chest. He was calm,but..the crowd could not / see it. Thatmobile face iwas hidden by the. doctor'sTrilbies, but -he came buoyantly ,shore-ward just the same. He was carried highand dry by, the kite and f the waves, and inless than no time, dripping and smiling,-was receiving the handshakes of admiringthousands. He resumed his Prince Albertand his .pantaloons and A immediatelyheaded !for the Olympic Company's pier,where he made a speech, giving, thirty-tworeasons why his kite-shaped ... trick with astring to itwas better than Grover Cleve-land's. •'\u25a0; -\u25a0\u25a0'"": \u25a0'."* f:::

i:"iAnd the doctor smiled and got down onthe 7 sands with his bare ", feet, while thecrowd turned its attention seaward, wherefrom the south formiles as far as one couldsee thousands and thousands of birds werepassing upina steady, stream.

Proposed Trip;to Japan.: When the steamer ;leaves .:for Japan jto-morrow, one of the passengers will be Irv-ing/M.Scott, of c Union Iron Works.He is going for pleasure and rest, but thereis a significant fact connected with his de-;

parture just at this time. \u25a0/Itmay be that *-

Japan's new warships willbe inhis pocket,and perhaps there will be -\u25a0 more than one.*.' Japan is just nowconsidering the propo-sition ofbuilding a new navy, or rather ofadding considerably to the one she alreadyhas. .Since this determination becameknown, rival shipbuilders from* all ,overthe country have been seeking contractsfor one or more ships, and;it is generallybelieved by those who know of;Mr. Scott'sproposed departure, that < the :prospect ofsecuring some of these contracts for theUnion Iron Works is the principal reason,why Mr. Scott's head will be turned west-ward. He may be taking a pleasure tripon the ocean, but itis believed 'lhat strictbusiness is what is taking him to Japan.
