William Rader, the pastor, spoke on “The Victorious Christ.” In the evening there was a special musical ser- vice, of which the solo by Miss Grace Car- roll of Oakland was the feature. The pastor spoke on “The Easter Mes e’ He said: “In bis ‘Redemption’ Gouncd does not omit a chapter in the life of Christ. He rightly sees redemption in his life and death. Resurrection completes cruci- fixion, It is God’s tribute to man. It puts purpose into existence. Easter brings a message of peace, the force of love, not the love of force. The idea cele- brated by Easter is that life is more than death. The vacant tomb sends a message of joy. Irreligion is doubtiul, religion is happiness. The deepest, grandest Easter note is joy.” Howard-Street Methodist. Sunday-school Easter festival was held at the Howard-street Methodist Church in the morning. The school ren- dered an Easter service entitled ‘‘The Morning Cometh,”” besides numerous reci- tatives, songs and anthems.

COOPER Sunday School and Kindergarten Named for the Earnest Public Worker, Steps Taken Looking to the Organi. zation of a Church for the Sunset District. The Sarah B. Cooper Congregational Christian Endeavor Sunday-school and Kindergarten was formally dedicated yes- terday. The heavy rain and cold west wind did not prevent the little building at the corner of Ninth avenue and H street from being crowded to itsutmost capacity. The exercises ovened with a short, fer- vent prayer, the California Quartet follow- ing with a song appropriate to the occa- sion. Mrs, R. A. Tuttle, to whose earnest work the present organization owes its ex- istence, made a few remarks covering the period of her first work in the Sunset dis- trict down to the present time. The first eighteen children presented their names for membership. The Sunday-school now boasts of forty-two scholars, the Endeav- orers’ society having just nine less. Mr. Tuttle, who has been actively inter- ested in the work of the new organization, then spoke as follows: Mrs. Cooper and Members of her Bible Class: We e | friend: stow upon us to-day_and the interest you take in this little grain of musiard seed, which, I be- . and the choral service, With Roses” (Warr “E; the Sunday-scho o), assisted Easter Praises,” by by the choir. musical service was effective: Opening voluntary, “The Heavens Are Telling” (Haydn): “How Calm and Beautiful the Morn " (Schnecker); Our Lord Is Risen From the | Dead’ (Schoecker): “Cbrist Our Passover” (Bris- | towe); processional march (Girard).

Where is Thy Sting?” In the evening he preached from the text ““Woman, Why Weepest Thou?’ Union-Square Free Baptist. | The pastor delivered a strong gospel sermon, and the following music was ren- | Ea0ized under the new Congregational derea at the Union-square Free Baptist Church: Organ prelude, ollowed by Temple’s Easter chant ; hristian life.

Mrs. Cooper said in reply that she ap- preciated greatly the honor that had been conferred on her name. She was sure that with such earnest workers at the head of | the new organization it could not fail to in God’s field of | become a shining light Christian workers. Following the dedicatory services George Gaden made an earnest_appeal for an im- mediate church organizauon. Rev. Mr. | Wirt warmly seconded his remarks, with the result that the people of Sunset Valley will soon have a Congregational church in their midst. Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class has pledged one-half of the pastor’s salary and it required only a few minutes’ work on Mr. Wirt's part to secure promises for the balance.

Coloma-Laura D Longfellow-Miss Howard REALTY MARKET REVIEW, The Advantages to a City of a Fine Boulevard System. STRIKING ILLUSTRATIONS. Encouragement for Buyers of Coun- try Property—The Week's Record. Outside of the auction sales last week there was but little activity in the real es- tate market. What changes or develop- ments the near future hasin storeisalla matter of conjecture. Many men whose judgment and opinions are heid in high esteem would not have predicted several years ago that the market would be as dull asitisnow. And it may so happen that while an early improvement is not looked for circumstances may combine to bring about a change for the better sooner than anticipated. When an improvement does occur there may be many eager buyers for various properties at much higher prices in many instances than such properties would sell for now. Those who buy on the present market will reap a golden har- vest for their good judgment and fore- sight. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Good streets do more to enhance real-estate values, possibly, than any other single influ- ence, and it is gratifying to note the vigorous fight that is being made by the Merchants' As- sociation to have the cobblestone pavements replaced by bitumen. While it is to be hoped that the association will be successful in its efforts in this direction, there is still another line of what may profierly be classed as street improvements to which but comparatively little attention has been given. It is the mai- ter of establishing boulevards and drives and in pEoperly caring for the numerous little arks or squares scattered about the City. be value to the residence portion of any city of improvements of this character can scarcely be estimated. San Francisco people have up to the present time been slow to appreciate the desirability of beautifying the City and of meking the different small parks as attractive 85 possible. Larger and older cities realize the impor- tance of such features, not alone for the charm that they add to the city’s appearance, but also for the advantages they offer in promot- ing good hemlth by affording places for out- docrexercise—good breathing-places, so to speak. Of late years London has purchased in the neart of the city, at great expense, private Toperty upon which improvements were ocated, and_ has_converted such places into leks. In New York City and Chicago mil- ions of dollars have been expended in estab- llshingxarks and boulevards, aud to cap the climax New York is abont to expend the enor- mous sum of $20.000,000 to establish a mag- nificent boulevard four and a half miles in length along the Hudson River. Of thissum it is estimated that $3,000,000 will be required | to purchase rights of way. These examples serve as striking illustra- | tions of the value attached to improvements of | this kind by older cities, and San Francisco | people should begin to realize th e impcrta of making a move to inaugurate similar im- provements here. A start, but a very slight start, however, has been madein this direction by the recent action of the Board of Supervisors in declaring Van Ness avenue, Lombard street, Golden Gate and First avenues boulevards. But declaring a thoroughfare a boulevara doe not make it one in the general acceptance of the word. It should be beautified by planting | trees, shrubbery, plants and flowers along its borders and in {he center as well, if the width will permit. In most cities all boulevards are | placed in charge of the park commissioners, | and are cared for by them in the same manner | that the parks are cared for. In the case of Van Ness avenue, which affords | the greatest opportunity for adornment be- cause of its width, there is no great activity manifest to commence planting of trees, etc., and otherwise beautifying that thoroughfare, | &s it was hoped would scon be done, because such improvements will have to be paid for by property-owners along the avenue. Many unique and handsome plans have been sug- | gested which if put intoexecution would trans. | form the avenue into one of the most charm- ing drives in the country. Theexpense ofsuch improvements, however, would be consider- able, and it will doubtless require a great deal of hard work to prevail upon all the property- holders to undertake the enterprise. Tt is & matter that many think should he taken up by the City, and the expense paid out of the general fund in the same manner that ibe expenses for maintaing Golden Gate Park are defrayed. When the Merchants’ Associa- | tion shali have succeeded in having the cobble- stone pavements replaced by bitumen, they | can find e field for additional useful effort i | endeavoring to build up a park and boulevard em in this City. “orbett road is at last being graded, macad- | amized, curbed and put in €608, passtbie eon: dition. For years the property-owners have agitated the question of opening Corbett road, end have at last succeeded in getting the thing in such shape as will enable the work to be done. There has always been considerable dispute regarding the lines and grade of this street, and after the present contract under which the work is now being done, was let, the Board of Supervisors appropriated $750 for the purpose of paving the surveyor to investi- gate and determine the proper linesard grades of the street, when this was finally done and a resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors officially accepting said survey. The houses and fences infringing upon the street, are all being moved without objection. The work is now being done, and the question of the grad- ing of Corbett road will be finally settled. A. E. Buckman is the contractor and is push- ing the work with as much dispaich as pos- sible. This will afford when finished a con- tinuous drive to Ingleside, and from there to the ocean beach, connecting with the boule- vard which 1s now being constructed along the ocean beach from the Cliff House south, a distance of about three miles. The work on the ocean beach boulevard is progressing rap- iddly and will be completed in about fifteen ays. The grading of Alamo square, bounded by Steiner, Scott, Fulton and Hayes streets, wiil be finished in about thirty da; The contract was let by the City to A. E. Buckman some time ago for $4949. COUNTRY PROPERTY. Those firms that are engaged in handling and pushing country property and in colon. izinglands are doing much valuable work toward building up real estate values in the Clldy, The State of California offers unexcelled inducements to settlers, and those who locate in the State now and embark in any particular pursuit, either agricultural or horticuitural, | will be able to profit by the experiences of others if they are wise enough to doso. Many coxtly mistakes have been made in both the culture of fruits and in handling them, but each year finds these errors being corrected more and more, And now there is Iittle or no risk taken by any one who will embark in fruit culture in this State and will apply to that undennklng the same care, attention and business principles that he would to any busi- ness venture, 3 Wine-growing is gaining in favor daily as a profitable occupation, and much encourage- | ment for. those engaged in this industry is found in the recent purchase by A. Schilling & Co. of 200,000 gallons ot wine at 20 cents v gullon. The last large sale made by the ine-growers’ Association was but for 15 cents per gallon, and it will thus be seen that the outlook for the future is much improved. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS.

Buckingham has been ap; of the California Bafe Deposit an pany’s building. C."A. Bailey of this City has purchased the old Huntington & Hopkins warehouse prop- erty on L street, Sacramento, for $10,000, The sale was negotiated by David Bush of the country department of O'Farrell & Co. The number of City and County sales for March were 316, aggregating $1,131,405. Dur- ing the same month 357 mortgages were fiied, aggregating $1,198,589, while 242 releases Were granted, aggregating $726,072. The building record for the first quarter of the present year, as well as for the month of March of this year, shows a gratifying increase over the past two years from the amount of the contracts filed. The figures which are compiled by Wolfe's Building News and Re- view are as follows: March, 1896, 102 con- tracts, aggregating $583,761; March, 1895, 106 contracts, aggregating $578,623, end Merch, 1894, 108 contracts, aggregating §500,- 751. For the quarter ending March 31, 18! 226 contracts were filed, aggregating $1,386, 894; for the same period im 1893, 221 con- tracts, aggregating $1,061,153 were filed, and in 1894, 204 contracts, aggregating $914,892 were filed. Jacob Heyman has just sold two lots on Forty-sixth ‘avenue, in block 718, to two em- loyes in Golden Gate Park, who will erect omes on the same. These are the first sales made in this locality and the purchasers will be pioneers in home-building in that part of the City. The lots are one block south of the park and about 600 feet from the ocean beach. Will E. Fisher & Co. have just put upon the market two choice blocks in the Richmond District. One is bounded by D street, Twenty- fourth avenue boulevard, C'street and Twenty- third aveuue, and the other by Seventh and Eighth and A and B streets. The entrance to the park on Twenty-fourth street is directly opposite the first-named block, and it is ex- pected that the California-street line will soon be extended out along D street 10 the Cliff House. Baldwin & Hammond report the sale of ten lots last week in the Richmond block, bounded by Eleventh and Twelith avenues, California and Lake streets. A. L. Bowhay will siart at once two one-and-a-half-story houses on the lots purchased by him on Lake street, near Twelith avenue. J.R. Atkinson will erect a ix-room cottage on the southeast corner of ‘welfth avenue and Lake street, and another of the purchasers, W.T. Bertrum, will com- mence this week the erection of a bay-window cottage on Twelfth avenue, about 300 feet north of California street. This firm also re- ports that lots in the Castro-street Addition are meeting with a rapid sale and a building boom is in progress, six houses being in course of construction 1. C.Scharif reports the following recent sales; Lot and improvements on the nortnwest 1ing of Harrison street, 375 southwest of Fourth, 10 L. Derwis for $6500; lot and improvements on Southeast Clara street, 116 southeast of Sixth, to J. Lewis, price $3500; 640 acres Shasta County land to P.

Duboce, with Eastor, Eldredge & Co., has gone to Redwood City to make arrange- ments for placing upon the market at an early date a large and valuabie tract of land located at that point. Redwood City will soon be made as accessible by rail as Oakland and its s burbs, and will no doubt develop into a thriv- ing village in due time, when its advantages are made known. Shainwald, Buckbee & Co. have sold the elegant mansion, with stable, belonging to Mrs. Emily B. Hopkins, widow ot Moses inted agent Trust Com- and Buchanan streets, to I. Schwartz of Guate. | mals. The price was $110,000. This includes part of the furniture. The building was erected ebout five years ago and is consid- ered one of the handsomest mansions in this City. C. A. Grow, Mrs. Hopkins' representa: tive, conducted theé negotiations for Mrs, Hop- kind, as that lady is now traveling in kgypt. The lot is 137:6 on Clay street by 127:80 on Buchanan. Tywo stories of the house are built of stone. In speaking of the condition of the real es- tate market the Real Estate Circular for March, published by Thomas Magee & Sons, says: “The demand for fine business property is as good as it hus been at_any time within two years, with this difference, that buyers now expect to secure it at lower prices than at any time since the deprés- n began. Ne rates of interest that are quite nn- attainable in other equally safe securities are ex- pected irom real estate. Buyers iusist, 100, in their calculations of income, o reckoning as high & rats of taxacion continuously as that which dis. graced the City and State Iast year aud from which Teal estate hias not yet begun to recover. Ii was vad enough before that event; it has been much worse since. The amount of good business property on the market continues to bs small. There is little in- quiry for second or third c'ass business properties or for property on_prospective business streets ‘The value of ‘the latter class of real estate has fallen vers much. Much of it offers cood invest: ments to buyers—n o for present income, but for future Increase in value. But no- more than one buyer In twenty will talk of the future at all, ‘What the property is paying or is susceptible of paying now is all that the majoTity of buyery will discuss. This is always characteristic of a season of depression. There is increased inquiry for lots and houscs and vacant lots at low prices out toward the park. The same circular, under the head of “What One Man Has Doze in Dull Times,’’ says: 1t hias been frequently noted, during the past five years’ depression, that the men wbo complain most and take the bluest view of the general out- ook for the City and State, and vet do the least to make things better, are our millionaires. About dozen of them could be named who have been un- ceasing In thelr complaints of the present, and con- tinuously doleful prophets of greater evils tocome. A conspicuous example of a millionaire who has pursued an utterly different course is furnished by Glans Bnreokals. - % Vithin the pest five years he has purchased about $3,000.000 worth of Clty real estate: b has spent, or is tospend, about $2,000,000 In new build- inzs already erectea by him.or now incourseef con- struction. He and his sons put $700,000 into the n Joaquin Valley Railroad, the buiiding of which Jud no: have been possible but for his mopey, example and energy. He has lately purchased some very large trects of land, to Increase his sugar beet acreage, down by Watsonville, and he has had printed instructions prepared, with beet seed, both of which he has distributed to all applicants, urg- ing farmers to turn their attention to the raising of beets instead of continuing in the eternal and gen- erally non-profitable round of wheat-raising. Wat- sonville and the country around it from beet-rais- 1ng and Mr. Spreckels’ beet sugar refinery there, i Dow one of the Mot prosperous portions of the tate. s M. Spreckels asserts that 875,000,000 worth of foreign beet sugar is Imported Into the United States annually. He wants this State to supply at least $50,000.000 worth of this sugar. He says we can beat the world In sugar beeis, because of the richness of our beets in saccharine matter.

The same rules which made the class such a delightful success still hold good, the only change being the hall. Previous dances were held at Golden Gate Hall, but the change to the handsome Native Sons’ Hall will surely not be recretted. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

TROUT FISHING BEGINS. The Fish Are Very Small and the Streams Are in a Koily Condition. The sportsmen whose hobby is whip- ping the streams for the frisky trout had a damper cast over their enthusiasm when they beheld the size of the fish that is now in the streams. Those who went fishingearly in the week fared well, but those who left the City Saturday came home last night with sad- dened countenances, for ‘nary afish was among the gang,”owin - to the heavy rains, which caused tbe principal trout sireams to overfiow their banks and become roily. Louis Ruffort and H. R. Bowie fished at Austin Creek since Wednesday and caught in all about three bundred trout. At-Duncans Mills Frank Marcen, John Butler, W. N. Wetman, A. R. Crovell and F. Meyers caught a number of fish, but they were of the minnte variety. The larse streams about the mills are very muddy, while the smaller streams are clearer. A party of sixteen fishermen went to Point Reyes and caught some trout and steelheads, which seem to be plentifu! in that section. The recent heavy rain, it is thought, will have a tendency to force the young fish from the spawn down stream, lheregy de- stroying a large quantity.
