DR, KUMMER AGREES T0 SPEAK Anticipates Much Pleasure in Being Present to Enjyy the Different Views. OAELAND OFrFicE SAN FraNcisco CAvry,) 908 Broadway, Oct. 24, § The announcement of the action of the First Methodist Church rerarding the celebration of the 1ina ration of the reformation on Luther day has created no end of discussion among both church- goers and non-church-goers in this city. It is now known tbat several churches had refused to join the meecting at the tion building on Sunday evening. s for this reascn that the affair was ged to Saturday evening, e Rev. C. W, Wendte is not a man who will aflow any one to question his Christianity, and when he read the real of the opposition to the celebration pared a statement in which he said: s heartily sorry to read in_ the paper of e of Dr. Kummer and hjs church to w from the Pr and the R and opposed the pro- y me, but by the com- of the Revs. Dis.

The Rey. Alfred- Kummer explains his attitude in the matter with the following statement: I am & very good friend of Dr. Wendte’s, al- though I see how g man of such in- believd in the divinity of objection to the celebration g it on Sanday night.

OAKLAND, CAL., Oct. 24.—The meeting of the residents of Golden Gate held last night was largely sattended. H. B. M. Miller gave them an idea of the form of government of a city of the sixth class and said they would have five trustees who would have the appointment of all subor- dinate officers. He advised a good selec- tion of men for that important office. The other officers wouid be a clerk and ex- officio assessor, & treasurer, 8 marshal and a recorder. John Jurgens, who had resided in the place for thirty-four years, opposed incor- poration. He thought they were well anough provided for now. 8 Mr. Dunn said that Thomas Williams had made an appeal to be saved from the ministers of Oakland and incorporation was the method of salvation. He did not favor it. i J. H. Rourke said: “I am in favor of incorporation. The assessed valuation within the proposed city is $2,000,000, on which there is a road tax of 35 cents. This yieids $7000, and only a small part of it is Spent in the district. Then tbere is $4000 for licenses. The, taxes on Shell Mound Park and the racetrack would add $2500 more a vear, making $13,500. The town could run on $200 a month.” Captain J. H. McMenomy, chairman of the meeting, and 8. S. Dewing opposed the scheme and cluimed that it would mean confiscation for the smaller property- owners. Those interested were requested to be present at the m-eting of the Board of Supervisors next Monday. ———————— Plymouth Brethren. OAXKLAND, CaL., Oct. 24»The tenth annuul convention of Oakland ‘‘Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ” is in session at Gospel Hall, 574 Eighth street. Thisisan old evar ical denomination that is very little kncwn, as it does not advertise itself or seek notoriety. 1t believes in quiet Christian conduct and acts and the old truths of the Bible, such as the atonement —man’s ruin—Christ’s sacrifice. There are nosalaried ministers, but the members depend on “‘faith” for their living. The Chri ns in different parts of California provide for the needs of these evangelists when they visit their towns, but it isa great sacrifice on their part. There are present Lere ministers from &ll parts of the coast including Los Ange- les, Portland, Santa Cruz and Sacramento. William J. Mcglure, a very able preacher, and Mr. Moneypenny, an evangelist, have been preaching, as well asa Mr. Arnot, a returned Airican missionary. Some of the members are very influential and highly respectable people of Oakland and vicinity. This denomination disap- proves of all religious strife and condemns A. P. Aism. The meetings will draw toa close Sunday evening. This last service will be in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, at 7:30 o’clock Sunday evening, the subject being “*Christ and Him Crucified.” Results of Three Inquests, OAKLAND, CaL., Oct. 24.—The Coroner held three inquests last night.

IS SURE OF McKINLEY Bert Fraser of Berkeley Bets. Whiskers, Hair and Eyebrows. He Also Agrees to Wheel a Bryan Man to Oakland in a Barrow If McKinley Loses. BERKELEY, CAL., Oct. 24.—Bert Fraser of Berkeley has a combination of election bets that would give him cause for ex- treme nervousness were he at all doubtful of the election of McKinley, Fraser has one bet with Charles Harri- son, by the terms of which he is to shave off whiskers, eyebrows and hair if the Nebraska man wins on November3. If McKinley is chosen, Harrison will have to lose all the capillary substance on his head and face. With John Sullivan, Fraser has another wager, which provides that one of the two shall wheel the other in a barrow from Berkeley to Oakland. Mr. Fraser is not at all nervous over his risk of appearing whiskerless, bald and without eyebrows, and wheeling a fellowman over four miles, but announces himself ready to take.more risks on the man from Canton.

Driving Association Furnishes Good Sport Despite the Bad ‘Weather. CYCLERY FIVE-MILE ROAD RACE Rev. Charles H. Linley of Montana May Succeed Rev. Mr, Lane. ALAMEDA, CaL., Oct. 24.—An open at- tempt to sell pools on the speed track this afternoon during the races given by the Golden Gate Park Driving Association, has created a considerable sensation in this quiet eity of homes, and will no doubt re- suit in some united action by residents to avoid any person or firm getting a foothold for future operations. A San Francisco concern opened an es- tablishment on the groundsand proceeded to sell pools on the first race, but the nov- elty of the move, or the eagerness of many to do business, soon gathered such a crowd about him that the attention of the local officers was attracted. An investigation followed and the enterprising owners were given short orders to make themselves xcarce and not to return under penalty of instant arrest. The move is the general topic of conversation. The races attracted a throng to the track despite the counter attraction at the Oak- land Trotting Park. Spectators were com- pelled to sit in a cold, damp wind, which penetrated to the bones, but felt well re- paid when the day’s sportclosed. The only accident was the taking off a wheel from G. L. Smett’s sulky by Dr. Leek, but this was unavoidable and the judges let it pass. The races were handled well and were run on time, The events wereas follows: Four-minute class, mixed trotting and pac- ing: First heat—Hammerton’s Alfred H, trot- ter, first: Owen’s Topsy Benton second.

The much heralded tropical weather of the city across the bay was slightly dis- colored by dark clouds' that threatened rain, and by a cool wind that caused every one that wore an overcoat to give the hat and coat check man a wide berth, And this sudden freak in the climatel It caused the oldest inhabitant to look grave and say he never saw anything like it be- fore. Racing is indeea responsible for many inconsistencies. However everything passed off as smoothly as though the track had been open for years.

She justified the confi- dence reposed in her by winning handily from Celeste, which latter filly made all of the running to the stretch. Dolore, most slovenly ridden by Lew, who allowed her to drop back aimost to last position, finished in tie gamest fashion, being beaten but a head for the place. ‘The star feature of the event, the §1000 inaugural handicap, followed proved a very preity bit of horseracing. Coupled m ~the ~betting Rosebud, with 98 pounds up, and the two-year-old Cande- laria, carrying 92 ponnds, held the place ot honor, 2 to 1 being offered against the pair. From' fours Cemsarian’s price was gradnally swiped to 2)4, sending him out second choice. Nebuchadnezzar was strongly fancied, but it must be that the track doesn't suit him, The Rose duo Tea Rose and ‘lorsina were well played, as was Chartreuse. Tea Rose came very ciose to turning a very pretty trick. When sent away, Pat Reidy astride the filly sent her sifting along like the wind until she had opened up a gap of six lengths. She did not falter until within 2 furlong from the wire, where the others overhauled her. Strung across the course as though lined up at a barrier at this point it looked like 10 to 1 and take your pick. H. Brown on Thelma was the first to show clear, and in Of the male portion the old-timers were out in full force, not forgetting kindly looking Senator Rose of Los Angeles nor the venerable sage of the turf, Josevh Cairn S8impson. Althoush rushed to com- pletion and lacking 1n many instances the final coat of paint, the grand stand, pad- dock and other buildings presented awery pretty sight, with the club’s colors as well as those of *‘Old Glory’’ floating from their masts, and commanded the admiration of all. The officers of the ciub busied them- selz,es looking out for the comfort of the club. In the judges’ stand were Joseph A. Burke and J. W. Brooks, and their de- cisions gave no cause for contention. The track while not of the bullet-fast order was in excellent condition. Sixteen pencilers posted odds in the ring and everything went swimmingly with the talent for the first three races, first choices swpninF across the line in rapid succes- sion, all ridden by Eddie Jones. Then came the Inaugural and the victory of Thelma, a 40 to 1 shot, and thereaiter the “dope’’ zot twisted out of all shape, two more outsiders winning. It is just possi- ble the layers of odds held their own with a trifle to spare on the side. The opening race on the programme was a six-furlong purse event for all ages. The crowd landed on Mt. McGregor II candidate and rapped his odds down from 8 tv 5 to 9 to 10. Jones, who had the mount, waited on Quicksilver and Belli- coso until a furlong from the stand, when he went to the front and won in a gallop b{ two lengths. Bellicoso got the place cleverly a length in front of Sir Play. Cole on Grady provably did his best, bui he has yet much to learn. McLight showed no speed whatever. A $300 selling purse over six furlongs was the magnet that attracted thirteen selling platers to the barrier. La Flecha and Heartsense were the best of the lot, and they ruled first and second choices respectively. Red Pike, a rank outsider, tried to make a sneak or the purse, but Jones on La Flecha let out a wrap in the stretch, and with little to spare got over [Pike horse. the plate half a length in advance of the Hearteease was third.

Time, lxlli with 107 pounds up as the most likely | a hard drive down the line got the brown mare past the judges first half a length before Torsina. Chartreuse II was third lapped on the place horse. - ockey Joe Piggott is capabls of furnish- ing better exhibitions of riding jthan he has been doing of late and it is high time he discovered the fact. Gayety and over- confidence on his part lost the race to Little Cripple in the mile and a furlong run. The brown Horse was a 4 to 5 choice in the betting, but Piggott let Joe Terry, the 8 to 5 second choice, get such a command- inglead in_the stretch, that although he rode a hard finish he was beaten out by a nose. His defeat cost bettors a small bar- rel of coin. i As usual the concluding six-furlong spin saw the favored ones in the betting en- guifed. ‘Salisbury II was & warm 2 to 1 favorite around vost time, while Sea Spray, Howard and Sir Richard haa a strong following. Coming on from sixth osition at the start, Tommy Butler on %ncino, a 10 to 1 shot, made a magnificent ride, and snatched the ruce from the coals by a neck, in a furious drive with Sea Spray. Racing N Big, rosy-checked Sam Morton is back again at his old post--patrol judge. A more efiicient man could not have been appointed to the po- sition, and withal—the ladies are happy.

BIG ADVANCE I HDES AND LEATHER Lewis P. Wiel on the Rapid Rise and Renewal of Confidence. He Says It Is All Owing to Belief That McKinley Will - Be Elected. RISE OF THREE CENTS A POUND Shoes Advance From Fifteen to Twenty Per Cent—Sentiment in the East. Lewis P. Wiel, of Buckingham & Hecht, returned here yesterday aiter several months’ absence in different parts of the East. Mr. Wiel says thers has been a very steady advance lately in the price of hides and leather, and the advance, he be- lieves, is wholly attributable to the con- viction among the people that McKinley will be elected. For a good while it wasa matter of doubt what the campaien might bring forth. Business was generally unsettled. Everybody was afraid to make a move. 1n no business was this more noticeable than among people bandling hides and leather. The tanners were afraid to run their tanneries for fear they could not get rid of the leather. They were right, too, for the dealers had no demand for them. The manufacturers, with whom business was slow, gave only such orders as were 'y to supply temporary necessities. all this is changed,’”” said Mr. Wiel yesterday, *‘and it is a most gratify- g condition ot things. The ieather and hide trade has taken a new lease of life. Everybody in the business in any way at wafinun: time is busy. have advanced from 3 1o 4 cents a pound and soleleatner has also gone uj from 3to 4 cents. All kinds of leather, may say in a general way, have advanced from 20 to 20 per cent. Shoes have ad- vanced from 15 to 20 per cent. This is all because there is now ademand that did not before exist. Confidence is now par- tially restored, - . *This is undoubtedly because there. is a belief over the country, which has also 8 20 | taken root among business men, that Mr. McKinley will be the next President, and agnt We are to have a solid, stable Govern- t ment. This is the belief all over the Ease where I have been, and in many of th States of the West. “Every railway man I met was a Mc- Kinley man. They are over the country, I think, nearly unanimous for him. As for the merthants they are all for sound money. #1 was in Marylana, and there I found everybody shouting for McKinley. There is no doubt about that State. It will go biz for McKiniey. [ saw many men in New York who wanted to bet that the Empire State would be for the Repu blican Presidential candidate by 250,000 ma~ jority. “All through the New England States, of course, the people are for McKinley in overwhelming numbers. Oat West, as I returned, it was the same way. I was in Chicago during the recent great parade, and saw 100,000 men in line for the Re- publican ticket. They were.mostly Iabor- ing men, too. Illinois wi!l go strong for McKinley. “While on my way East I was in Col orado, and was then told thut a man couldn’t even say he was a McKinley man there, so intense was the feeling. When I came back I was assured thal since then several large McKinley clubs had -been formed in Coloradg and that the sentiment had changed largely. It is so all over the country.” ROAD RACING TO-DAY. Entries and Handicaps for the Imperial and California Clubs’ Events.
