University Entrance Examinations Commenced at Berkeley and at Other Towns of the_State. BERKELEY, Cav., May 14.—The wide- spread report that a system of pew rent- ing is to be soon put into effect at the new First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley has caunsed somewhat of a sensatiun on the part of its members and visitors. Though the affirmation appears to be groundiess, according to the statement of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Ketehum, who was interviewed to-day, yet the rumor had its menacing effect on him, as it came to his ears from yarious membersof the congregation. He appeared much put out over the report when called upon, and in order to clearup the matter in the eyes of the community he prepared a statement for publication. Dr. Ketchum believes that the house of God should be open to all who wish to worship therein and that there should be no anchoring of chboice seats. As the ex- penses of the church have to be metin some way or other, sittings are sold to the members at a uniform rate, but these sit- ting are open to tbe use of people other than those who pay for them should they chance to enter the building first. Rev. Dr. Hatch of the First Congrega- tional Church a short time ufio openly de- nounced from the pulpit the system of pew-renting and his remarks were the topics of many fireside talks on the part of his flock. Though Dr. Ketchum has said nothing as yet from the pulpit regarding tne rent- ing system he has taken the opportunity of giving expression to the situation through the colums cf THE CarLL.

Pitiful Sufferings of the Ycuthful Victim of Wednesday's Accident. THE SUSPICIOUS ARSON CASE Woman’s Suffrage Convention Will Extend Over Two Days in Alameda City. ALAMEDA, Car.,, May 14.—The little 13-year-old daughbter of J. Becaane, who was burned so terribly by the explosion of a tank containing crude petroleum Wednesday last, died yesterday in great agony. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that deatb was caused by burns produced by the accidental explosion of a petrolenm tank. The funeral services take place to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock at St. Joseph’s Church, and the interment will be at St. Mary’s cemetery. The details of the accident are exceed- ingly painful. The father was at work in the nursery adjoining his house, at 2135 Central ave- nue. Shortly before supper he observed his little girl playing among the plants near the hothouse. Suddenly Le was startled by a terrific concussion, followed by the screams of the iittle girl. In a mo- ment the child ran out from the smoke caused by the explosion. The father rushed to her, and with the aid of neigh- bors who were attracted by her cries suc- ceeded in extinguishing the child’s burn- inf clothing. t was too late, however; his little daughter lay on the ground fearfully burned and scorched. Though almost in- cinerated, she bravely submitted to the doctors’ treatment. She was able to talka little, and told them she suffered little pain excepting at her ankles and fingers. She toid those watching over her thatshe had been playing with matches, and said, with a pitiful little attempt at humor, that she felt “‘dandy.” Her system could not withstand the severe nervous shock, and she sank grad- ually toward midnight, dving early in the morning. Drs, Keyes ana Lubbock were in attend- ance, but from the first they entertained little bope of the child’s recovery. There | was scarcely a square inch of her body that had not been lacerated by the flames. The child stated that she had caused the explosion by lighting the end of a bamboo pole and then thrusting it into the tank of petroleum, She was beloved greatly by her little playmates and was a pupil in the sixth grade of the Porter School. In two weess she would have been 13 years old. The was part of an apparatus used in heating the greenhouses. It had proven unsuccessful and its use had been discon- tinued. The force of the explosion was so great that the top of the tank was blown off and the tankand all carried over a high fence, standing some thirty feet distant. There was about thirty-five gallons of oil in the tank, Mr. Becanne, while extinguishing the flames on bhis daughter, was severely burned on his left arm, and it is quite pos- sible that he will lose some of his fingers. The Floral Fete. ALAMEDA, CaL., May 14.—Forty ladies met this afternoon in the Council chamber to further discuss and arrange the details in connection with the floral fete. The various committee appointed are: Executive—Mesdames R. Frank Clark, G. R. Rossitter, W. H. Pollard, J.

TIhe ladies intend soliciting the labor and nails for the construction of the platform and tiers of seats behind the same. Reserved scats will cost 50 cents and re- served chairs 75 cents.

Armory Hall Fire. ALAMEDA, CAr., May 14.—Nothing of importance has transpired to-day over the attempted arson case in Armory Hall. Most of those who contrived the practical joke have publicly stated the part they ook in the affair, but this does not in any | way clear up the tire under the stage nor the gas all being turned on as stated by Armorer Conrad Kiare. One thingis cer- tain—there was a blaze and the ashes ot the fire could not have existed there for months as is contended. Some say the whole thing is “'a case of pures: rot,” but as the potice have the matter in hand more will certainly be heard of it. Woman Suffrage Convention. ALAMEDA, CAL, May 14.—The idea of holding a convention here on the woman suffrage movement has taken such hold that the project of holding only one day’s meeting has been enlarged to two, and the meeting-place has also been changed. The meetings will be held on Thursday, May 21, and Friday, May 22. Three sessions, viz., Thursday and Friday after- uoon and Friday evening, will be beld in the Uaitarian Church, Grand street. Thursday evening’s session will be held in Germania Hall, Lincoln avenue. The sessions will commence at 3P. M. and 8 P. M. respectively. LIKELY TO FAIL. The City Council Make a Personal In- spection of Eighth-Street Bridge. OAKLAND, CaL., May 14.—The mem- bers of the Council went to the Eighth- street bridge this afternoon and carefuliy examined it. Planks, stringers and piles were found in a badly decayed condiuon, altbough here and there some woodwork was found that was quite substantial. Street Superintendent Miller had a boat bandy, and after the Councilmen bad finishéd inspecting the superstruc- ture of the bridge, they embarked in this to examine the piling. The tide was a lit- tle high, but Mr. Miller said they would see enough to convince them that that portion of the bridge was in the same con- dition as the other. A couple of the piles were almost cowpletely eaten up. % In taking up the planking of the bridge it was demonstrated that it, too,is ina very dangerous condition: Insome places the planks are scarcely over an inch thick. Owing to the condition of the stringers, ::o, it is impossible to make a nail stick in em, Mrs, Smith, Mrs. Dennis; treasurer, Mrs. A. O. | Auction Bales A. L. CRESSWELL, AUCTIONEER.

An Effort Will Be Made to Have a Park Named After Wash. ington. OAxLAND OrFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,} 903 Broadway, May 14. | The beautifying of the Oakland parks has long been a matter of consideration with many citizens ana officials, but be- yond the planting of a few trees nothing has been done. A new and happily con- ceived plan is now being carried out that will add greatly to their artistic appear- ance, and which is singularly appropriate. All of the parks of this city are named after men great in the history of the | Nation. The namesof Lincoln, Lafayette, Franklin, Jefferson have been given to the pretty parks that help to relieve the center of the city, and it is cuggested that in each park be placed a monument of the man whose name it bears. The plan originated with Mayor Davie, and he has been working on it quietly for sometime so that it would be in an intel- ligent shape when he made it public. “‘Our parks are altogether too devoid of statuary,” said Mayor Davie to-night, ‘‘and it secms to me that the idea is a very good one to adorn each park so that the orna- wment will have some historical value. I bave started with the Lincoln Park and already there is a model for the proposed statue of Abraham Lincoin in Sin Fran- cisco. I thought it would be the most appro- priate to commence with Lincoln and when we know how much it wiil cost and what it will look like we shall announce our project, and 1 have assurances that the pubiic at large and especially those who live in the neighborhood of the various parks will contribute for its erection. “Already several Eastern firms have expressed their desire to supply the neces- sary statues, but Leum of the opinion that we can do all that kind of work right at home, and I think it isbut right to keep all the trade at home that we possibly can. This idea will possess a value other than asa decoration. It will help to impress principles of patriotism in the children, as nearly all of the parks adjoin onec of the public schools. This idea should recommend the project to everybody, and I believe it will. “At present we have no Washington Park, but I shail try and get one some- where. The value of a block laid out as a park in the busiest and most growing sec- tions of the city does not seem to be so fully appreciated as it deserves to be. However, I believe that we shall soon ses a change in that regard, and I have great confidence in the success of the plan to place a statue in the parks that we now have.” BEGENTS” APPOINTMENTS, Fifty New M.

It wasthe general sentiment of the board to accept the offer, but formal and final action in the matter was deferred until next Tuesday on account of the absence of Regents Wallace and Slack— two members of the committee in charge of the affair.

Congressional land grant—Regents Hough- ton, Rodgers and Denieke. United States experimental station—Regents Phelps, Martin and Chase. A lively discussion was precipitated be- tween Governor Budd and Regents Rodgers and Hallidie when the recom- mendation for medalist was referred to the board. The Governor seemed unwilling to give Hirst, the recommended student, the medzal until he had been assured that it would be accepted. He said that the gold medal, as a reward for the highest scholarship in the class, had been refused before on several occasiens, and that he would do all in his power to prevent the conferring of a degree on any student who to accept it in the future. Regents Rodgers and Hallidie did not agree with him. They thought that the student was a free moral agent so far as the prize was concerned, and that the question of accepting or rejecting it should be wholly optional. After a few minutes of cross-firing the matter was referred to the law commitiea. Hirst wes awarded the medal and all was serene. He ac- cepted it when offered later in the day. The board decided to make the renting of lockers in the gymnasium hereafter optional, and not compulisory for fresh- men and sophomoresas heretofore. A charge of $1 will be asked for the ren- tal of lockers, the money to be used in the purchase of new lockers and in the repair- ing of the gymnasium. Following were the members of the board who responded to the rolleall: Governor Budd, S. T. Black, C. M. Chase, Er- nest A. Denicke, President Kellogg, John E. Budd, A. 8. Hallidie, J.

OAKLAND, Car, May 14.—The long- drawn out uupleasantness between the Humane Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children reached a conclusion to-night. Dr. Carpenter of the Humane Society called a special meet- ing of his society and outlined their grievance against Mrs. Prescott, secretary | of the Children's Society. He stated that her society had entered into some sort of agreement with R. W. Theobolds, ex-sec- retary of the Humane Society, to under- mine that society. Dr. Carpenter charac- terized Mrs. Prescott’s behavior as un- grateful, and the following resolution was passed unanimously : Resolved, That the Humane Society of Ala- meda County hereby discontinue the courtesy extended to the Children’s Society and from this date we refuse to grant the Children's Society the privilege of having desk room in our office. The meeting was a heated one and many unpleasant things were said. The trouble has been brewing for months and has been a fruitful source of minor scandals. The action taken to-night will destroy any united action by the two bodies, The dirtiest and most unhealthy eity in the world is Amoy, China.
