Chamberlain, the Author, Wants a Constitutional Amendment. SABBATH - CLOSING CRUSADE. Newspapers and Churches—Cleri- cus on the Real Presence In the Eucharist. The Congregational Monday Club lis- tened to an essay by a local author of | repute, H. L. Chamberlain. His topic was “The Nation for Christ—How and When ?” and his view was that the Nation isa person having a moral organism -and will of its own as a gift from God 'and capable of choice and action. He made the same dis- tinction between a nation and government as he would between the soul and body. He favored definite action in making ¢the United States a Christian Nation. “When an amendment,” said he, “de- claring God’s law as delivered at Sinai to | be henceforth the rale of the Nation’s life | in all legislation on moral questions affect- ing the welfare of the people and Jesus Christ the rightful ruler of this Nation, then and then only can this Nation be said to be won for Christ.” Few of the members of the club Were in sympathy with the views of the essayist. The speakers believed that a nation could be Christianized only through the Chris- tianization of individuals. Professor Fos- ter was emphatic in his declaration tbat | the acts and spirit of this Nation are in direct contradiction to its claim to be Christian. ‘It merits, rather, the title of pagan,’’ said that gentleman. Rey. Mr. Cheatel, a Washington pastor. who was a visitor, took occasion to say that in his opinion nothing short of an earthquake would establish the kingdom of God in this Nation, ‘‘Present forces and present methods cannot Christianize the Nation,” said he. “There must be a new revelation of divine force to arrestthe rushing tide of iniquity in the land.” Dr. Pond, J. H. Morse and Reyv. John Kimball were aprointed a committee to draft resolutions expressing the club’s sorrow at the loss of Ira P. Rankin. Mrs. Sareh B. Cooper expressed her ratitude for her election to the National riennial Council of the Congregational churches, saying that she regarded it as a recoguition of the value of the services of women in the churches. The plans of the California Sabbath As- eociation were ‘set forth by Rev. N. R.! Johnson, who jasked for the co-operation of the club in the moverent. He said the observance of the Sabbath was alarmingly on the decline, and that an organized effort | to combat thé tendency to a Continental Bunday and establish & Christian Sabbath Was necessary. “The gross and open desecration of the | Sabbath must be stopped,’’ said he, “'and | we propose to work for the closing of sa- | loons on Sunday and the re-enactment of a State Sabbath law.” 5 Mrs. S8arah B. Cooper wil! read a paper on “The Discipline of Suffering’ next Monday. The Clericus discussed one of the oldest doctrinal points of contention in the his- tory of the Christizn church—that of trans- substantiation. Rey. William Bollard, rector of the ©hurch of the Ascension at Vailejo, began the discussion by a paper on ‘‘The Real Presence in the Holy Eucharnst.” “Is the doctrine of the real presence the eaching of the American church and of the Church of England; and has it been the unmistakable, unquestioned assertion, always, everywhere and by all throughout the apostolic church?'’ saia Mr. Bollard, ‘‘or are the bread and wine mere emblems, bare signs?”’ The speaker quoted prominent ecclesias- tics in support of his view that the belief in the real presence is a necessity. It is essential to the due understanding of religion, to its right appreciation and to the rendering of becomine worship. All the virtues that adorn mankind spring from this presence. The guarantee of res urrection to eternal life is tied thereto, the glory of our future state is bound up there- with, hence its vital import. “It may be objected that the spiritual power or influence ordinarily experienced in assemblies sufficiently meets all human needs, but what saith Christ? ‘Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood ye have no life .n you.” It should always be kept in mind that there is an es- sential difference between prayer and sac- raments. It should also be always kept in mind that ‘the incarnation was not the ele- vation of all humanity as an abstraction, but of the particular body which God had prepared for his son.” " Presbyterian Union, The Presbyterian Ministerial Union elected Dr. E. G. Mathena president, Rev. D. E. Clark vice-president and Rev. James Woodworth secretary and treasurer for the ensuing quarter. There was some discussion of an article published in Sunday’s CALL concerning the | organization of a Presbyterian Alliance. Those who had not been invited to join the alliance naturally had some doubts as to the prospect of such a movement bein on foot. Others said it did not follow that the old organization would receive its death blow from the new. Some were much disturbed by the language of the gentleman who had talked about ‘‘monkey- like antics of certain members,” and Rev. D."Hanson Irwin moved that the matter be investigated with a view to learning the identity of the culprit. The motion was tabled. 8an Prancisco Presbytery. The San Francisco Presbytery met at Howard Church yesterday afternoon for the transaction of business left over from the recent meeting of that body. A com- mittee from the Home Missions and Church Erection societies was appointed to consider the matter of the sale of a lot on Page and Clayton streets. owned by the presbytery. In view of the early removal of Howard Church t¢'that vicinity and the Erospcctive Jocation of Westminster hurch at Webster and Fell streets, it was found that the lot would be useless in that field. The proceeds of the sale will be used for the gurchlu of property in some location where Presbyterianism is not so well represented. Oentral Baptist Association.

Boynton of the First Baptist Church of this City. Mr. Boynton took the position that all news about the churches should appear in the daily rapers and that ministers should see to it that all information should be given. There was a warm discussion, which led to the raising of the question about exclud- ing representatives of the press from the meetings of the association. The question will be decided at the Oakland meeting next Monday. Steps were also taken looking to a public meeting to welcome General 1. J. Morgan, ex-Commissioner of Indian Affairs, now corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, who is expected in San Francisco about November 4.

Dr. Cole's Idea of Architec- ture for the Affiliated Colleges. TRANSFER TO BE MADE T0-DAY. One Classic Bullding of Granlite, | Brick and Terra Cotta to Begin With, There is to be nothing of the hospital or free dispensary appearance about the building for the affiliated colleges if Dr. R. Beverley Cole, the chairman of the committee on site and building, has his views followed. If there is one thing for which Dr. Cole is now hanging on to life itis this Affiliated colleges building. He is wrapped up in it entirely, and his brain is full of arrange- ments and plans. Dr. Cole made a tour of the colleges of the East not long ago, but there is not one of them, he says, that he would copy. All of them have some points of merit, and he proposes to have a feature here and an- other there embraced in the San Francisco building. The great trouble with most of them, he observed yesterday afternoon, is that, as a general rule, they do not have ground room enough. Many are built like business blocks—close to the sidewalk. The advantage of the Sutro site is that it affords plenty of opportunity for a fine building, he says. Once when Cicero was asked why be built his home at an altitude of 300 feet above the Forum, on the Pala- tine Hill, the Roman orator’s response was, “So that all the world can see what I am doing.” It is this sentiment of - Cicero which Dr. Cole would follow. The board of regents of the State Uni- versity will meet to-day and may then re- ceive the deed to the property from Mayor Sutro. Atany rate the deed is ready.for signatures. Dr. Cole’s idea is to put up one buildin, to start in with. He argues that one build- ing at first would nicely accommodate the medical, pharmaceutical, dental and law departments, and later on—in the course of years and according to the growgndg needs of each of the colleges—other build- ings could be constructed until ultimately there would be four fine buildings, fully meeting the demands of the allied institu- tions forall time. The model Dr. Cole would copy is the Capitol building at Sacramento—that is, he would have a classic style of architecture patterned generally after that. The Affili- ated Colleges building could be a little more composite, perhaps, and there would not be any particular need of a dome for & year or so, anyway. There could be Grecian columns, Egyptian r{‘ables and Roman arches, and tge material could be granite from Folsom — solid, substantial and pleasing in its color of li(in gray—and pressed brick and ornamental terra cotta. The doctor has been promised all the granite he wants from Folsom. He made a trip for that purnose recently and figures that he would need 60,000 cubic feet at least—enough for a fine frontage and the two ends—and he has been assured of that much. And because of the advantages of the site he calculates the possibilities of saying several thonsand dollars. For instance, there will be noneed of the usual methods of ventilation—either the steam process or the coil or the fan systems—for the air there is plentiful and salubrious. Nor would there be any need of students’ libraries, for the arrangement | with Mr. Sutro obligates the Mayor to pro- | vide up-to-date reading matter in his li- | brary just across the way with suitable | accommodations. Such the Mayor has | promised and such the different faculties expect. The saving in ventilation alone would amount to an item of $7000, accord- | ing to Dr. Cole’s figures. After he had disposed of his patients Vesterday afternoon the doctor fonnd a few moments to discuss the possibilities of the future, and observed: Just now we are not looking so much to the esthetic as to the practical. We aré going to attend to business first. The first thing is to get the deed. Itis now rend{ and the transfer of the site from Mr. Sutro will be made at the meeting of the regents to-morrow, which is | probably about all they will attend to at that meeting. We have not yet decided upon any particular plan of building nor even the general ground | arrangement. Several ground plans hmf been | made, but none of them are quite satisfactory. | We have never had an elevation made. When our committee gets together it will discuss the style of building we would like to | put up. My idea is to have it of the classic style of architecture and be something like the State Capitol at Sacramento. As I have said before I think it would be wise to start in with one fine buildi flnd follow later on with the other three. We could omnibus the foir colleges in the one building and finally we would have four fine buildings, each college having one to itself. We have a most favorable opportunity for the esthetic in_architecture, and why should we not_have a beautiful building while we are about it? The surroundings and scenic advan- | tages are all that could be wished for, and it seems to me that the building should harmon- ize with them. It will be a conspicuous build- ing and we want something that the people of the City will like to look at. It is not neces- sary to sacrifice elther the esthetic or the utili- tarian for the other. Just as good tuition can be given and just as good work done in a nice | building as in'a plain one, and there is really | no_difference of cost worth mentioning, for a little taste and & sense of arrangement, | combined with good business judgment, can | succeed in erecting a nice building. admirably equipped, where stupid indifference to beauty and ignorance of the needs of such an institu- tion would waste thousands of dollars in con- structing an edifice at once offensive to the eye and revolting to the genius of the times. But, as I n{. we have not yet come to the building itseli. We must first settle the pre- limlnflrfes and then we can come to the style of architecture. The original ground plan will, in all probability, be followed ; that was to have the Affiliated Colleges building and the Sutro Library face each other and the park at convenient angles, First avenue to run between the two buildings. KENNEDY'S SHRUNKEN ESTATE. Attorney Roach Ordered to File a New Report in the Probate Court. Another interesting phase has been de- veloped in the Kennedy estate, first brought to public notice by THE CaALy, in the dec- lination of young Frederick Kennedy to indorse the report drawn up for him by Attorney J. J. Roach. In this report, the text of which was published in THE CaLn last Wednesday morning, the attorney made certain state- ments which the sole surviving direct heir of Edward Kennedy refused to corroborate. Mr, Roach, in the presence of the court, insisted that the young man must certainly recall certain sums of moneys mentioned in the revort,and he seemed very much surprised when young Kennedy said he had no recollection of the transactions in question. SR The court thought it strange, too, and ordered Attorney Roach to prepare an- other report. Young Kennedz said_he had signed the report without thoroughly comprehending its contents. This is the estate of which it was asserted by Frederick Kennedy«that from $250.000 in 1878 it bad shrunk to $25,000 in 1895, with many transactions remaining inex- plicable. “The young man and his grand- mother, Mrs. Chaigneau, are honest and intensely earnest in their assertions, but Attorney Roach and some others con- cerned in the handling of the estate put forth the opinion that the young man Eu | brooded over the matter to such an extent that he imagines many things that have no existence in fact. MADE OF GOOD SILVER | Bad Half-Dollars Which Are Counterfeit in Name Only. The Colins Belleved to Be Work of Some Mill In This Vicinity. the The counterfeiters in the vicinity of San Francisco have been keeping very quiet lately, and but little of their handiwork has been recognized by the many handlers. The reason for this has just been discov- ered in a few hali dollars, a little inacen- racy in the stamping of which had caused them to be more critically examined. They were counterfeits, but they were of good silver, of nearly full weight, the proper ring and milled and stamped with adie. About the only thing wrong with them was that they had not been made by the Government. The Government agents have three of the half dollars in their possession, all ex- cellent specimens of work and of diferent dates, a fact which argues that the money mill must have more than one set of dies, or that there is more than one gang at work. The coins are 865 grains fine, only 35 grains less than the genuine halves, which are 900 grains fine to the 1000. The silver builion in each of the coins is worth 22 cents, and the coiners make the differ- ence between that and 50 cents, the face | value of the coin. With the coins of lighter weight the profit is stil! more, but there is evidently no firen desire to make the pieces much lighter than they should be. The new mint is supposed to be some- where near the City, as the coins have not been long on the market. A counterfeit will wear much more quickly than a good iece, for no one wants to keep it an: onger than is possible and the bad coin is constantly moving, Oneof the pieces in possession of the Government is dated 1894, It is quite new and has not been bandled much. The others are of older date, and have been tarnished and pur- poaelr worn to simulate an age they can- not claim. These older pieces have been placed in the hands of the Mint, where they were tested and their real value as- certained. It has already been found by counter- feiters that the half dollar is the most vrofitable piece to imitate with the real ‘metal. -Smaller pieces are harder'to make and have less profit, while dollar pieces ive too little margin of profit. In a dol- ar piece there are 412)¢ grains of pure silver, while there is but 192 grains in each half dollar, or 384 ;;-ins in the dollar made of two halves. The coining of half- dollar pieces gives a profit, therefore, of 28%% grains of silver on every dollar, be- sides the 28 grains’ on every half dollar. ‘fhe 84} grains profit on every dollar which is thus made is enough to temptany counterfeiter, while a piece s0 made is very hard to detect. ‘This is the first experience of the Secret Service agents in this City with the silver counterfeit. Such work has been at- tempted in the East, and some time ago a man in Omahg was tried for just such an offense, but it has-never before been be- lieved that there was anything of the kind in this vici it{. ides this, the price of silver bullion isdeclining npi&l and such counterfeiting offers sibi{iueu now which it did not offer bcm The only se- rious obstacle is in the stamping, It is bard to make the dies, and harder still to get_them made, and molded coins are eun? detected. Besides, they cannot mold the silver coins as they could the old ones of baser metal. three just captured—two of the old de. sign and one of the new—were stamped with dies makes them all the more dan- The fact that the. gerous as counterfeits and the more puz- | zling to the Government detectives. ——————— RECOVERED THEIR DITOH. | Result of a Suit Between Two Quick- | silver-Mining Companies. An interesting water case, involving the rights of two quicksilver-mining com- anies, has been decided by a jury in the Inited States Circuit Gourt. Prior to August 29, 1893, the Altoona Quicksilver-mining Company was in possession of two water ditches in Trinity County known as the Altoona or Crow Creek ditch and the Boston ditch. At that time; according to the complaint filed, the Integral Quicksilver - mining Company took wrongful possession of the two water- courses and converted the contents to their own use. The owners of the Altoona mine claim that by being deprived of the water of the two ditches they were much hampered in their operations and were heavily damaged. Possession was demanded at the hands of the Integral Company with- out success, and then recourse was had to the courts. Damages were asked in the amount of $5000, with possession of the waterways.
