8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 1S, 1895 MINISTERS N SESSIDN. Reception Accorded the Mes- sage From the Civic Federation. REV. MR. VARLEY'S ADDRESS. ‘The Baptist Ministerial Association and the Clericus Take a Vacation. Evangelist Varley occupied the hour and a half devoted to the weekly meeting of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday morning. Hesaid in part: i “*We read in the Bible of ‘the blessed and only potentate.” 1am convinced that the speaker referred to two persons, the Father | and Son, in terms of contrast, and not, as | is commonly supposed, 10 God alone. The Bible is exceedingly precise in its language and careful reading will show that all through the book God is spoken of as the | sovereign of heaven and Christ the sover- eign of earth. i *Within twenty years we shall have reached the end, not of the world but of | this wicked age. A skeptic said to me, ‘Do you, as an honest man, claim that Christianity has been the salvation of the world?” ‘Up to date, no,’ I replied, ‘but you do not take into account the speedy coming of Christ.’ “That coming will be a solemn judgment of the rulers and law-making bodies of the worla. The executive, which the Bible calls ‘heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,’ will be the rulers then under the Great Sovereign. “One of the signs of the fulfillment of prophecy in regard to the second coming is that the Jews are returning to their na- tive land in great numbers, according to prophecy.” : Mr. Varley stated, among other things, that under the new dispensation a man who dies 100 years old will be thought to have died in his infancy. A man will live to be 1000 years old then and show no signs of dec: “It is sin that causes age and dise: ke said. “I am not a pessimist in_believing that the sin and suffering of this terrible age are an extension of the days of evil brought on by man.” The request from the Civic Federation that the ministers preach on the subject of | the Grand Jury’s action in reference to re- form was received, but no action wastaken. Discussed Regeneration, | ‘‘Regeneration’ was the theme for dis- | cussion at the meeting of the Congrega- tional Monday Club yesterday. Rey. J. W. Brier Jr. of Antioch was the princi- eaker. He said: is made manifest by the spiritual second birth of man. What we see every- where are the phenomena of genesation, of life improved and prolonged. -Growth by ion of food is not regenera- ever.

Mr. Williams dwelt upon the theory I the work of regeneration is begun | bere, but perfected in heaven. It was stated that Miss Annie Shaw had | accepted an invitation to address the club on July L. . The request of the Civic Federation that : the ministers of the club should preach on | the subject of the recent actions of the Grand Jury was stated, and a resolution consenting to do so was passed. A resolution by which the members of the club pledged themselves to do all in their power to discourage the holding of tunerals on the Sabbath was adopted. Methodist Preachers. The invitation extended by the Civie Federation to the Methodist preachers met with a hearty response, and on or be- fore the last of the month the Methodist clergy will be heard from, through the medium of the pulpit, on the Grand Jury’s action. It was announced that Mr. Varley had accepted an invitation to address the meet- ing of the Methodist preachers Monday next. H. Yoshi: a young Japanese grad- nate of the University of the Pacific and for seven years a student at that institu- tion, expressed his desire to deliver lect- ures on Japan under the auspices of the Methodist churches of this country in order to raise money to defray his ex- Eens s at the Boston Theological Seminary. everal offers of the use of churches in the | City for that purpose were made. | - Rey. C. J. Larson, at present pastor of the Norwegian-Danish Church of this City, | reported a membership of 125in the new congregation which worships at Pythian Castle, 909 Market street. The church building on Tenth street, between Howard and Folson, will be completed in six weeks. Prominent Norwegians have con- tributed ymoney for the erection of the | building, but $2000 is still necessary. | The use of the varions Methodist pulpits in the City was tendered him in order that be might present the needs of his church. Mr. Larson has been connected with the Bcandinavian churches of the Pacific | Coast for many years and during eight | years of that time was superintendent of the Scandinavian churches of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. He or- | ranized twenty-three churches, which are now flourishing. Occidental Board, The Occidental Board of Missions held its monthly executive meeting yesterday morning, when a delegate was chosen to attend the Cazadero summer school, aud | arrangements were made for the distribu- | tion of free literature. Ministerial Association Vacations. The clericus has adjourned its meetings | for the remainder of the summer. The Baptist Ministerial Association has also adjourned for two month: Artists Interested in the Formation of | a Club to Exhibit Etchings and Classical Drawings. A number of San Francisco artists are enthusiastic over a project for founding a mew club, for the exhibition of a branch of art that has received little attention up to the present. It is to be known as “Black and White,” and the works in which it will take an in- terest are to be etchings, pen and ink sketches of all kinds, wash drawings, char- coal drawings, in fact every kind of art work in black and white. The idea at present is to take a room downtown and give an exhibition in the autumn. No practical steps will be taken for six weeks or so, as most of the artists are going out of town, but there have been several en- thusiastic discussions in different studios, and the probability is that as soon as the artists return to the City the club will be- come an established fact, as commenda- hondior the idea has been expressed on all nds. + The originators of the idea of a “Black En White” club are Stanton, Yelland, adee Joullin, Miss Lou Wall and Miss HISKNS WILL DOUBTED ‘The Relatives of the Deceased | and examine the writing and signatures ! considered. Marem Froelich. Keith has also ex- pdrcssed the belief that it would be a fine 1dea. Speaking of the proposed club yesterday Miss Lou Wall pointed out what an advan- tage it would be in illustrating work. ‘People who want illustrating done very often do not know at present where to go for it. If there were a black and white exhibition they could see for themselves who would do good illustrating. It would also be a pleasure to people who are fond of art but do not care, or are not able, to | pay for a picture. You can get an etching for $10, and the sale of etchings would | open a comparatively new field for Cali- fornia artists. 1n the spring exhibitions there is a stray bit of black and white occa- sionally, but it has generally been hung in some out of the way corner and has at- | tracted little attention. An exhibition en- tirely in black and white would be some- thing completely new here.” LIFE UNDERWRITERS, l They Form an Association in This City for Mutual Protection and Advancement. The general agents and managers of the natural premium life insurance compa- | nies doing business in the State of Califor- | nia have organized a board of life under- writers, to be known as the “Natural Pre- mium Underwriters’ Association of the Pacific Coast.” The objects of the associa- | tion are to protect each other from any and all attacks, to spread a general knowledge | of their system of life insurance and for | | manufactured under the creamery system. social intercourse. # : The officers are: President, D. Gilbert | THE NEW BUTTER CENTER, California’s Progress in the Manufacture of the Dairy Product. UNDER THE CREAMERY SYSTEM. K. A. Hughson Gives an Interest- ing Account of a Big Industry. K. A. Hughson of Oakland is one of the best informed men in the State on the sub- ject of butter. In the course of his ob- servations he has collected many facts from which he has deduced some conclu- sions that will be of peculiar significance to all who are interested in the prosperity of California. In speaking of the industry of dairying yesterday Mr. Hughson said: “Few Californians realize what rapid been reduced and, no doubt, prices will be further reduced in the near future. “Few if any creameries purchase the milk or cream, but simply make it up for the patrons, charging them an agreed price per pound for manufacturing and market- ing the butter. Aside from the directors and managers of the companies, who are usually selected from representative dairy- men of the district, the patron has simply to deliver his milk at the creamery every i morning and call around for his dividends, which are paid monthly. So large is the demand for creamery butter that it brings | in the San Francisco market from 4 to 5 cents a pound more than dairy butter, and is quick sale, while quite often dairy butter is in very poor demand. Dairymen have suffered from low prices, but no'more so than wheat-raisers or orchardists, and the outlook for better price on all the prod- ucts of the soil of California is very en- couraging. Many dairymen have prophe- sied that the creamery business would be overdone in California, but where we were bringing creamery butter from the East a | short time ago, we are now actually ship- ng them large quanties, and there is no ear of overproduction with so large a de- | mand. | ““Within the past month Eastern buyers have purckased and contracted forall the | creamery butter the creamery companies | or the San Francisco commission-houses are willing to sell them, only stipulating | that the butter should be packed in tubs at the creamery, Eastern style.

Charge That It Was Forged. Mrs. HaskiIns’ Connection With the Fair Pencil Will Brought to Public Mind. A contest was filed yesterday in the Superior Court by the relatives of James Haskins, alleging that the holographic will | left by him, and submitted for probate, is a forgery. Haskins died August 17, 1894, | and the will was filed five days later by his widow. Mrs. Elizabeth Haskins, the sole legatee | under the ill, is the same Mrs. Haskins about whose connection with the pencil | will in the Fair case there was built up | such a mass of rumor and conjecture. The contestants in the Haskins case are the sister-in-law of the deceased, Sarah Ann_ Haskins, and her two sons, James ‘William Haskins and George Haskins. Haskins’ will, as written by himself, is as follows: 2202 LEAVENWORTH STREET, ] §Ax FRANCISCO, August 6, 1888.{ This is to certify that I, James Haskins, in my right mind, bequeath to my beloved wife, Elizabeth Haskins, all my real estate and per- sonal property of every description, and ap- point her exceutrix without bonds. I owe nothing but monthly contingent expenses. JAMES HASKXINS, This was formally signed James Haskins, The estate, as sef forth in Mrs. Haskins petition for the probate of the will, was valued at about $13,000. The will was written on a single page of notepaper. At the time of its filing no pariicular objection™was made as to its in- tegrity, but for some months past an in- creasing demand on the part of Haskins’ own refixtives, and their attorneys, to see and compare them with old letters and documents had suggested what rumor im- mediately took up and circulated—that the Haskins will was forged. The substance of the gmyer of the peti- tioners is contained in the last paragraphs of the petition, as follows: The petitioners further show and allege as grounds for the contest of the probate of the said alleged will that said pretended will of | the said James Haskins, decehsed, so admitted | to probate as aforesaid, is not, nor is any part thereof, the Iast will or any will whatever of the said James Haskins, nor is the same, nor was it ever, nor was the signature thereof witnessed or subscribed by any person what: ever, as a witness thereto or otherwise. * * * Wherefore your petitioners pray that the order admitting said will to probate may be vacated and set aside, and to that end that a citation be issued to the said Elizabeth Haskins in accordance with law, citing her as | in the law of California provided, to appear | and answer this petition, and to Show cause | why the said probate of said pretended will should not be vacated and set aside, and that petitioners may have such other and further Telief as they are entitled to, the premises The attorneys in the Fair will case are not willing to admit that the contest of the Haskins will can or will have any bearing upon the Fair case. “I cannot see any connection whatever between the two cases,” said Russell J. Wilson Jast evening. ‘““Even should it be }woved that the Haskins will has been orged, I do not see what effect that can have on the Fair will. There was a great deal of talk | when the pencil will came out regarding the fact that Mrs. Craven and Mrs. Has. kins, the two witnesses to the document, lived together, and that Mrs. Haskins was vgrf' adroit with: the will is authenticated, this Haskins case may not see.” ven, but the pencil and what bearing have upon it Ido —————— The Strongest Men Grow Weak Sometimes.

Malaria, dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatic, nervous and kidney complaints are cured and averted by it. | tities of Eastern creamery butter packed solid in ash or spruce tubs, of about sixty pounds weight, were received here from Elgin, Ill, and other points. And although the freight was $520 per car of twelve tons, it sold at a profit, and dairy- men soon found that grocers and their cus- tomers bought it at an advance of 5 to 10 cents a pound over the best California dairy butter. " The result of these shipments was a large demand for creamery butter. Our most enterprising dairymen soon discov- cred that in order to seil the products of their dairies they must make creamery butter equal or better than the Eastern product. “Few if any creameries were in opera- tion in this State previous to 1892, but dur- ing ’92 and ’93 several were erected, the larger number being in Humboldt County, and that county taking the lead in tne number of creameries erected has main- | tained it, and there is twice or three times | as much creamery butter manufactured in Humboldt County at the present time | as in any other county in the State. Be- fore the invention of the cream separator, | which, by the by, was invented in Russia by a Russian, and patented by him in the United States, as well as many other coun- tries, the dairymen of the East set their milk in pans at home, and many of them sold their cream to the creamery man, who called around at the farm house every morning, and paid them cash, he hauling it by teams to one common center, where the cream was churned and manufactured into butter. The butter being uniform in quality, light salted, and furnished to the consumers fresh every day, through the middleman, or the grocer,” the creamery campang were enabled to obtain better prices by 4 or 5 cents a pound than the average dairyman, who churned his butter on the farm. This difference in price also enabled the creamery company o make a fair profit. “Then came the invention of the cream separator,which is a small power machine, revolving 7000 revolutions a minute, into which the new milk is poured and from one spout is ejected sweet cream and from another skim milk, or rather sweet milk from which the cream has been extracted. These separators are s0 expensive and re- quire so much skill to operate them suc- cessfully that the milk must be hauled to one central point, instead of the cream, as was formerly done under the pan-setting process. The capacity of the large size separators is 25,000 pounds of milk an hour, and they cost $500 eaeh delivered in San Francisco. ‘A creamery receiving the milk of 1000 cows once every day, or over 20,000 pounds of milk each morning, which should be separated within four iours from the de- livery of the first load to the creamery, must have at least four separators of the largest capacity, and no doubt five would do the work better. They should havealso a 20-horse power boiler and 15-horse power engine, and cream vats sufficient to store the cream forty hours before churning. If the cream is churned before it is ripe the butter will be dry and lacking in quality. They must also have power churns, power butter-workers and, above all, plenty of clear, cold water and an abundance of hot water to keep everything clean and sweet. ‘‘The separated milk is returned to the patron or conducted some distance from the creamery to a corral, where it is fed to the calves or hogs. For the Eastern mar- | ket the butter is packed solid in 60-pound tubs, as that market requires only solid packed butter, and there 1s no demand for squares. But Californians demand squares weighing about one and three-fourths each, or sixty squares to the_ box, actually weighing 96 to 110 pounds. No doubt this custom of selling butter in squares, hardly two of which are alike, is demoralizing, and the time is not far distant when con- sumers will demand uniform weights on the squares. The question does not come up in the Eastern market, as they buy only solid-packed butter, sixteen ounces to the_Pound. “There areat the present writin, than 100 creameries in the State tha more have | been erected durinfiethe past two years and many more will running before our fall rain. The larger number of these are co-operative stock companies, with $10,000 t0 $20,000 paid-up capital, the stock being subscribed by the dairymen. The build- ings were erected and the machinery and the outfittings furnished and put in operation under one contract by dealers in dairy supplies located in San Francisco or Chicago, but the dairymen complain that they have paid big prices for their creameries and that the contract- ors have made excessive profits. In con- sequence the new creameries being organ- ized are letting the contracts for erecting the buildings to their local carpenters an asking for bids from rival, responsible houses for the outfittings complete, the same to be delivered in San Francisco.

Assertion That Women Have No Souls Supported by the Scrip- tures. Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens’ address was the feature of the open meeting of the Young Woman'’s Suffrage Club at Pythian Castle last evening. Considerable merriment was created by a youth named Sam Swartz, who opened the discussion of the address by solemnly asserting that there is Scriptural anthority for the statement that women have no souls. The young man defended his side of the discussion alone, for Dr. Treadwell, Dr. Burgess, Mrs. Jane Bruner, Mr. Church and Mr. Belton, who followed, all believed that the franchise should and would be granted to women. There was a short introductory Em- gramme, consisting of a piano solo, “Last Hope,”” by Mrs. Jane Bruner; a recitation, “Woman's Rights up to Date,” by Miss Marguerite Saxton; a vocal solo, ‘“Call Me Back,” by Mrs. Bessie R. Dibble; a hu- morous recitation by Dr. F. C. Treadwell, and a comic song by Thomas Aitkin, Mrs. Dibble presided and Mrs. Hilderbrand- Cartwright acted as secretary. MACDONOUGH AND BORUCK. One Is Improving and the Other Is De- clining. Marcus D. Boruck, the journalist, who a few days since was reported at the point of death, has been improving since Sunday morning, and last night there was strong hope that he would, by reason of his strong constitution, pull through. That is, if no change for the worse should take place in the next day or two. There was no change for the better yes- terday in the case of Joseph Macdonough, the millionaire, who was stricken with Bright's disease of the kidneys a few days since. If anything, his condition was worse last night, and there seems to be no hope for him. AN INFANT WAGNERIAN. Three-Year-Old Enid Brandt, Who Likes to Play the Music-Dramas. Students of Child Development In- terested in the Young * Player. Many San Francisco musicians have lately expressed interest in the perform- ances of what they consider the youngest child-pianist they ever heard. She is just 3 years old, and already has an extensive repertoire, which extends from ‘‘After the Ball” to selections from the Wagner music- dramas, of which “Tannhauser” is her fa- vorite. Every one has heard of Mozart, who played at 3 years of aze, but though music always develops earlier than any other talent, his case is cited as a remarkable instance of precocity. The Chevalier de Kontski, when he heard the little San Francisco girl play, said hers was the most striking case of early talent that had ever been brought under his personal notice, and at his request little Enid Brandt was photographed with him. I wantto go down to posterity with her,” he said. It was the child’s fondness for harmony that the chevalier considered remarkable, and it is that which excites the interest of all the musicians who hear her. Any little three-year-old might pick out a tune on the piano and no one would express Wk Y 4§ ) ENID BRANDT, THE THREE-YEAR-OLD MUSICIAN.

The market for creamery butter has ruled at about 16 to 18 cents in Chicago and New York since January, but lately it has ad- vanced somewhat.” Speculators can pur- chase creamery butter here now for the Eastern market with a good prospect of making a fine profit. Those best informed fully believe that creamery butter will ad- vance considerably in this market at an early date, and that the outlook is much brighter for those engaged in the laborious business of dairying in California.” SR A i A e Enew Some English, but Not That. A Frenchman was boasting that he had thoroughly mastered the Lnglish lan- | much astonishment, but though Enid per- forms entirely from ear she plays all the notes in the chords, however chromatict as far as her baby fingers will permit. A, 2 yearsand a few months old she insisted on playing the piano one day, and being at last lifted on the music-stool she aston- ished every one by playing ‘‘Yankee Doodle” with both hands ‘in unison, but otherwise correctly. After that she ‘was allowed to disport herself at the piano oftener, and soon be- gan to use her left hand for the harmonies. Sometimes she invents a more florid bass than that designed by the composer, thouih oftener the limited stretch of her chubby little fingers makes it a physical impossibility to Eet the notes she wants. Another thing that musicians remark in her playing is that she always begins piece in the key she has heard it in, and if the flats and sharps are numerous enough to prove stumbling blocks to her small hands she modulates correctly into a simpler key. Enid’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Brandt, refuse at present to teach her mu- sical notation, as they do not want to push her already too active brain. Later they intend to give her every musical advan- tage. Phrenologists and students of child development are beginning to take consid- erable interest in Enid, and this week she 1s going to Stanford University at the re- quest of some of the professors to have her characteristics examined. —_———— INFLUENCE OF SOIENOE.
