A Big Deal. Among the recent important transac- tions in real estate in Oakland is one re- ported by E. E. Bunce, 1008 Broadway, to A. E. Dunham, agent of Samuel Cuppies’ | ‘Woodenware Company of Missouri. The tract embraces thirteen and a half acres on Piedmont Heights at the terminus of Oak- land avenue. The consideration is said to have been about $20,000. This is one of the randest residence sites in the State, over- Emking as it does the cit!y of Oakland and San Francisco Bay. r.

SUED THESTOCKHOLDERS The Davie Transportation Company Asked to Pay Three Notes. List of Those Who Held Stock in the Corporation and the Amounts Demanded. A. J. McGovern, through Collector D. A. Cartin, has brought suit in the Justice’s i Court against the 119 stockholders of the Davie Transportation Company, the ferry line that piied between the City and Oak- land via the creek route and first reduced fares to 5 cents. L The action is based on three promissory | notes aggregating $5000. All the notes are dated October 18, 1893, and bear 7 per cent interest. The first note is for $2000. and the others are for $1500 each. They are signed by John L. Davie, president, and J. M. Bassett, secretary, of the company. The money was borrowed to help the com- pany lease boats and purchase material for its business. In the heyday of the rivalry the names of the stockholders of the opposition ferry company were held 1n the strictest secrecy. The reason given was that the Southern Pacific Company would use every means socially, in a business way and others wise,to force them from assisting]the Davie ! Company. These names are now given out. Editors Frank Moffit, W. E. Dargie, and a lot of other well-known Oakland and San Francisco residents, are among the holders of the stock. At the time the | Davie Transportation Company passed out of existence 44,574 shares of its stock had been suvscribed for. Asthe sum sued for | is $5000, with interest, the plaintiff is try- ing to force an assessmentof nearly 13 | cents on each share of stock.

F. Hinckley and Rev. Dr. Mc~ Lean the Chief Promoters of the Scheme. “We want to get the university people interested. Perhapsin time we shall be able to have resident students of either sex at the manse.” It was Rev. Dr. McLean who expressed this hope yesterday in speaking of an Oakland institution that has just adopted a constitution. “The Manse,” as it is called, is a pet scheme with the philan- thropists across the bay, who believe that there should be a practical and social side to the religious institutions. It was started in the same spirit that Charles Kingsley, Ruskin, etc., felt when they brought Toynbee Hall, London, into exist- ence; the spirit that prompted the exist- ence of Hull House, Chicago. The prime mover in the new Oakland organization is Rev. Frank Hinckley, the young pastor of the Second Congregational Church. He was formerly at the Armour Institute, Chicago, and Dr. McLean was largely instrumental in bringing him to the Pacific Coast about a_year ago. Mr. Hinckley was thoroughly imbued with the spirit which makes Hull House a center of social and intellectual recreation to the people in its neighborhood. He believed that the people living round him in Oak- land would ve bappier and better for more innocent amusement, and the more he studied his neighbors the less he felt he would be benefiting them by appealing to them from the theological standpoint. Dr. McLean was at one with his young friend in these opinions, and together they were instrumental in starting an instito- tion intended to reach the toilers and the workers, not only on Sunday, but on every day of the week. The handsome house at 1730 Eighth street, now known as the Manse, was taken, with a view to be- ing open at all times to those who cared to visit it and enjoy its advantages. It 1s beautifully sitnated, and yet it is within easy reach of the poorer part of the city. | So far the Manse possesses a library, a piano and a coliection of pictures. It is hoped soon to add a billiard-table and a gymnasiom. The house, which is furnished in a pleasant home-like way, is at present in- habited by Rev. F. Hinckley, Dr. J. J. Medros and Miss Mary E. B. Norton,a mwiddle-aged lady who has had consider- able experience in work of the Hull House type, and who has thrown herself heart and soul into the interest of the Manse. She hasalready started a sewing-class, in which the girls of the neighborbood are very much interested, and two kitchen- lasses, the latter being a kinder- of teaching the children the details of housework. Y Rev. F. Hinckley has found lately that the work connected with the Manse was growing rapidly, and as his_church made inereasing demands upon his time he re- alized that it would be necessary to devote himself especially to one or the other. He had been called to his pastorate for a vear, which bas just expired, but last Wednesday the annual meeting of the Second Congregational Church was held and the pastor was unanimously confirmed in his appointiment. The day following a meeting was held at the Manse, at which a constitution was adopted, and a board of auditorsand a council were appointed. W. F. Hinckley stated that henceforth he intended to de- vote all the time he could spare from his flock to the social work of the Marse, but that now the work wasstarted others could manage its business arrangements and he couid devote the bulk of his time to his congregation. This proposition has been reluctantly agreed to by the ladies and gentiemen interested in the social work at the Manse. A meeting will be held Tuesday to elect officers, but until then the names of the councii and the board will be withheld from publication. A number of departures in the social work will be taken this week. A boys’ club will be organized and among other new branches of activity a cooking class will be started. The children are thor- oughly at home in the Manse already and Miss Norton does not at all dread the in- trusion of a club of boys ranging in age from 10 to 17. The Manse already pos- sesses 2 kindergarten as well as a poly- clinic, where the poor are supplied with medical aid whenever 1t is required. Among the staff of physicians are: Surgery and skin diseases—J. H. Wythe, M.D., consultant; E. H. Woolsey, M.D., con- sultant; Theodore Olmstead, M.D., Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday; J. J. Medros, M.D., Mon- day, Wednesday, Ffldn]'. Internal medicine—J. 8. Adams, M.D., con- sultent; T. H. Pinkerton, M. consuitant; W. D. Huntington. M.D., Monday, Wednesday, Friday; J. Austin Miller, M.D., Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Diseases of women—A. H. Pratt, M.D., con- sultant; R. T.Stratton, M.D., Monday, Wednes- day and Friday. Eve, car,nose and throat—G. C. Pardee, M.D., consultant; E. F. Card, D., esday, Thursday and Saturdey: G. E.'Brinckerhoff, M.D., consultant; M. P.Hus, M.D., Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Manse's expenses are at present about $200 2 month. A number of charit- able people have given assistance, includ- ing, among others, Mrs. W. H. Crocker, F. M. Smith, 8. T. Alexander, Mr. Fairchild, J. K. McLean, Charles W. Wendte, Mrs. George W. Hume and Mrs. Charles Webb Howard. All the money received passes through an investigating committee’s hands and the expenditure of every dollar is rigidly accounted for. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Preliminary Steps Taken to Bond the Town for School Buildings. Aquatic and Athietic Events Among Promising Youths—St. Mark’s New Pastor. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 14.—The Board of Town Trustees beld a meeting last even- Ing at which much important business was transacted. A letter was received from the president of the board, Reuben Rickard, who is now at Central City, Colo., offering his resignation as trustee of the Second Ward. It is thought that Professor William Carey Jones will be chosen to fill the va- cancy. Professor Jones was a member of the last board and a candidate for re-elec- tion, being defeated by Rickard by only thirteen votes. The Electric Light Committee presented a report on the service being given the town by the Electric Lightin; ompqnivx; as prepared for them by special experts, which it was stated that in some respects the service was very deficient. The com- mittee stated further that the report of the experts had been brought to the attention of glexe light company and that the latter ‘were el in repairing all deficiencies, a considerable improvement having al- ready been made. In'the matterof the new school-buildin, asked for by the Board of Education the Trustees took preliminary steps for the calling of a special election to bond the town for the erection of such buildings asit may be decided are needed. A committee of t’he board, consisting of Trustees Gage, Hoff and Grigps, was appointed to report on sites and the cost thereof for the new schoolhouses. : i The buildings mentioned in the resolu- tions appointing the expert and committee and upon which reports are to be made are: A sixteen-room high school, a six-room school on Dwight way, a primary school on Dwight way, a new eight-room school in place of the rrese_nt San Pablo school, a six-room school at North Berkeley, east of Shattuck avenue, and a four-room building on Ninth street, near Page. The Finance Committee reported favor- ably on billsamounting to $1940 638 —$1034 93 from the read fund and $905 75 from the general fund. Aquatie Sports. A series of aquatic events were held at the U. C. boathouse in Sessions Basin on the Oakland estuary this afternoon.

ALAMEDA, Car., Sept. 14.—The race committee of the Alameda Driving Asso- ciation last night finished the classifica- tion of the horses entered for next Satur- day’s meet, The track isin spiendid ¢on- dition, and some fast records may be the result, as the mile straightaway is ex- pected to mgke quite a difference in time. There will be three races, each for one mile, best two out of three heats. The en- tries are numerous. Valuable prizes have been donated by Alameda and San Fran- cisco merchants. Boys’ Brigade Drill. The three companies of the Boys’ Brigade entertained their iriendslast night in Armory Hall. They were attaghed re- spectively to the Presbyterian, Congrega- tional, Methodist Episcopal churches and the Church of England. The com- panies were each drilled separately, and, being formed into battalion under com: mand of Major A. N. Taylor, Major Hays of the Fifth Infantry, N.G.C., awarded the first place to Company I of the M. E. Church. This entitled the company to compete at Mills Tabernacle on October 4, and, if successful, at the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion in November. There was also a drill of the Hospital Corps. Miss Pearl Noble, Miss Maud Noble and the First Brigade band furnished excellent music. The receipts of the evening will form the nucleus of the battalion fund. Eligible Site for the School. The committee appointed by the City Trustees to recommend an eligible site for the Wiimerding School has finally made a choice and will address a communication to the board at its next meeting. The City Trustees will be requested to call a meet- ing of citizens to discuss the details of site and terms under which the purchase can be made. It has been suggested to hold the meeting next Friday evening. The members feel confident that the required | money can be raised with little trouble, and that the site will give general satisfac tion to the regents. The Unitarian Fete.

More than fourteen years had elapsed since the death of Carlyle before it occurred to some worthy fanatics to purchase his house by subscription in order that it might be preserved asa memorial. “For- bear, ~poor fools!” would have been Carlyle’s own comment upon this piece of fatuity. ‘The house bas undergone many vicissitudes since Carlyle’s death, and its contents were sold and dispersed man; ears while it has been altered in all inds of ways. The personal memorials of Carlyle, which are ayed in his former dressing room, are of the most paltry char- acter, consisting of a battered trunk, a vulki‘ng stick, a wrenched tin bath, a stove- pipe hat under a giass case, and a wash- stand witha marble top. There is some- thing alike melancholy and ludicrous in finding that a number of ns have been so infatuated as to squander a large sum of money in bringing together such a collec- tion of contem sh. i business and sup STILL HAS HIS SON LEFT, Pathetic Story of a Father Who Says . He Has Been Wronged. HIS MILLIONAIRE ANCESTOR. The Hitherto Unwritten History of the Van Patten Family in Oakland. QAELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 14. Through a recent order of the Superior Court, Mrs. Sanford, secretary of the Hu- mane Society, has been able to place the three Van Patten little girls in a home at San Rafael, but nothing can induce the father to part with his crippled boy. The story of the Van Pattens, outside of recent proceedings, has never been pub- lished. But it is a peculiar story and quite interesting. The lad is Eugene Van Patten, 12 years of age, who has been a eripple from birth. Previous to coming to OCakiand, Mr. Van Patten was a successful and happy farmer in Southern California, where he made and lost several fortunes in the cattle and dairy business. The first cloud of the succession of mis- fortunes that have followed him so closely for the past seven years was the burning of his bome on a ranch near Bakersfield in which his wife received burns that ulti- mately caused her death. In this fire his infantchild, wife’s mother and brother re- ceived injuries that caused their deathsa few days 1laterA The_shock of this misfortune left Mr. Van Patten almost dazed, and he was never again able to build up his lost for- tune. After coming to Oakland he put the re- maining money he possessed into the coal rted his family com- fortably until the death of his invalid wife left him with five children on his hands, the eldest not old enough to care for the oungerones. He is said to have tried all inds of help that his means would allow to keep the children, but never with suc- cess. . Mrs. Sanford of the Humane Society ap- plied_for and succeeded in obtaining the guardianship of three of the girls, whom she has placed 1 an orphan asylum in San Raiael, and the boy, Eugene, was left to his father, whose devotion to the child is pathetie, When spoken to about the children Mr. Van Patten said: “The only hope that buoys me np in my distress and separation from my children and the constant care I must necessarily give my boy is the hope that my relatives in the East will seek aud obtain the guardianship of my children and take them from the disgraceful cir- cumstances that my enemies have sur- rounded them with in this city. “I do not expect justice. AIM desire is to see my chiidren with my family, who stand in high positions in New York State, and will give them the education and care tbat my means will not permit.” The grandfather, Van Patten, is one of the wealthiest residents of Oneida County, New York, and is said to own half the site upon which tke city of Rome, N. Y., is built, besides being the owner of two blocks of business buildings in the city of Austin, Tex. The old gentleman is 96 yearsofage. There are six direct_heirs to the property at his death, and Henry Van Patten and his children will come in for something over $1,000,000 as their share. A strange circumstance in the affair is the contrast in the two grandfathers of these two Van Patten children. One is a very aristocratic millionaire, representing one of the est families of the nls Knicker- bocker stock of the earliest settlers of New York. The grandfather on the other side is a plain man, who makes his living by raising pigs in East Oakland, and can be seen any day in the week drawing an old dilapidated wagon, gathering swill from the restaurants on Broadway and Washing- ton streets, The only Van Patten boy takes after the family whose name he bears, and thougha helpless cripple, is ambitious for an edu- cation, and aspires to be a lawyer. If he lives and his rich grandfather takes the interest in him that he isex- pected to, thercis no doubt but that the intellectual young lad will be a honor to the name he bears. At present he and his father are boarding with Mrs. W. F. Aram, on Ninth street, near Alice. KNEELED AND COKQUERED Two Ostrich Plumes and a Poppy the Price of Victory. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO Cu.x.,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 14. Last evening Miss Nelson of Piedmont, wearing a hat, topheavy with feathers, went into the Salvation Army citadel on Wasbington street. Two hours later Sister Nelson, humble but happy, wear- ing a hat bereft of feathers, marched out of the barracks. Her feathers were in the barracks’ stove and of her oride the Salvationists had just quitted singing: “I don’t know where it's gone, but I haven’t got it now.” It was holiness night at the barracksand the ensign was unusually earnest. He was dealing with pride. He kept on and his efforts were rewarded. % In the audience sat Mrs. Nelson and her daughter. Both of them were earnest workers in a Christian mission. Ensign Reed’s words affected the daughter to tears. As her head gradually bowed so did ber feathers, but at a greater angle— they were so tall. After a period of exhor- tation the leader fell upon his knees. All the soldiers and a majority of the audience did likewise. As Miss Nelson knelt her feathers actually touched the suppliant in the chair in front of her. The little fric- tion caught the eye of the ensign’s wife, and a moment later she was at the peni- tent’s side, helping to complete the work commenced by her husband. Her work bore fruit, and Miss Nelson announced her intention to “‘be not of the world, but come out from among them.” “Will you forsake those lovely feathers?” asked Mrs. Reed. “I will. I will give up anything to prove my sincerity,’’ said Sister Nelson, and the ensign was called. “Well, let's kill g;ifle right here,”” he said, and, going to Miss Nelson’s hat, he cut off the feathers.

For many vears his offices have been located at 737 Market street, opposite the ‘‘Examiner” office. He is a graduate of the best medi- cal colleges in the world, and has made a life-long study and practice, in famous hospitals and elsewhere, of Nervous, Chronic and Private Diseases of men and women.

They are not fictitious or solicited. They are genuine, and were voluntarily given as true, deep, sincere and heartfelt expressions of gratitude and thanks from our best merchants, manufac- turers, mechanics, miners, ministers, farm- ers, lawyers, laborers and literary people, who have been cured by him.and made happy.
