J. Cumming Smith May Leave Trinity Church. He Has Been With His Present Congregation for Nine Ycars Presbyterian Pastors Trying to Ar- range for a Series of R:v.val Services. Rev. J. Cumming Smith of Trinity Presbyterian Church hasreceived 2 call to the Tabernacie of Indianapolis, which is said to be the finest church in Indiana. The reverend gentleman has not yet de- cided whether he will accept the call, but it generally understood that he will prefer the wider sphere of usefulness which it offers. It is only a short time Cumming Smith returned is since Rev. J. from a three Rev. J. Cumming Smith, Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, months’ tour in the East, and during his absence he preached in Indianapolis. A unanimous telegraphic call from the Tabernacie reached him here on Satur- day. On Sunday he gathered kis elders together and laid the telegram before them, stating that he had not yet decided to accept it. It is generally understood by members of the Trinity Church flock that the pastor will go to Indianapolis, and when gues- tioned on the subject yester r, Smit: did not deny that there was a strong probability of his deciding to go to the wider sphere of work. His loss would be quite a blow to his congregation, as he has been their pastor for nine years, and during that time parochial affairs have worked smoothly and harmoniously. Rev.J. Cumming Smith is a ive of Toronto, Canada. He graduated at the Toronto University and for a time held professorship there for science and the dead languages. Afterward Mr. Smith came to visit his father, who was pastor of St. John’s Presbyterian Church in this City. He was a licentiate at the time and secured a call to officiate temnporarily at the Howard-street Presbyterian Cburch. The congregation was so pleased with his ministrations that be received a perma- nent call and was ordained in order to accept it. Three years ago the flock moved to a new church on Capp street, which was known as Trinity Presby- | terian. If Mr. Smith accepts | call to Indianapelis he will leave directly | after the new vear. The Tabernacle is the church whioh recently extended a call to Rev. Dr. Coyle of Oakland, but after tak- |ing some time to deliberate the doctor declined it. Rev. Dr. Mathena reasa an interesting paper on the Young People’s Christian Endeavor at the meeting of the Presbyte- rian Ministerial Association yesterday. He spoke in the highest terms of the con- stitution of the society and of the great work which it is achieving. In discussing the paper Rev. E. H. Jenks said that an important questi: n was the consideration of what the churches couid do to get the ’97, and added: ‘“Would it be better to have union services or zroupings of Chris- tian Endeavorers?” Rev. Dr. Miller sug- gested pentecostal meetings. Dr. Mathena introduced a resolution for the appointment ol a committee to confer with the other evangelical denominations to inangurate a series of evangélical re- vival services in San Francisco on the lines of those already being held in New York. The resolution was carried, and Rev. Dr. Mathena and Rev. E. H. Jenks were appointed 2 committee of two to con- fer with the pastors of other denomina- tions. Professor Searby read a paper before the Congrezational Monday Ciub on the service of the sanctuary and its outward forms. He did not consider the present system of service to be as uplifting as it ought to be. For one thing, too much was made of the sermon. The professor | suggested more congregational singing and more responsive readingas means for | making servicesjmore uplifting. | " Tne following officers of the Congrega- tional Monday Club were elected yester- day: Rev. L. H. Halock, chairman; Rey. | J. B. Orr (re-elected), treasurer and secre- tary; executive committee — Rev. W. Rader, Rtv. G. B. Hatch and Rev. C. R. | Brown. Rev. Frank K. Buker addressed the Methodist Episcopal preachers’ meeting | on *‘National Perils.”” A number of sub- | | jects for discontent among various classes | | of people were alluded to. Drink, pov- erty, anarcny, the worship of mammon and social evils all received their share of attention, and The speaker gave a higher moral standard as the panacea for most of | these perils. In the discussion the paper received a large share of praise from most A meeting of the Congregational Church | Extension Society was held yesterday at which it was resolved to authorize Rev. William Tubb to continue the improve- mentsat Bethany Congregational Churcn to the extent of $500. Rev. G. Duncan, Rev. Dr. R. Bentley, Rev. Dr. F. D. Bovard, Rey. Dr. Ketcham | and Rev. G. Hatch, representing the Bap- tists, Methodists, Presbyterians and Con- gregationalists, respectively, held a meet- ing yesterday afternoon to consider the the Emeryville track. No action was taken, as the meeting was merely prelim- { inary. A concert will be given in Golden Gate | Hall on December 18 to raise the debt on | the French Reformed Church. | There will be a Christmas fair and sale | of work by the King’s Daughters of St. John's Presbyterian Church on December 3and 4. Rev. Dr. Mackenzie will lecture in Olivet Presbyterian Church for the benefit of the church on December 14. The sub- ject will be ““Camping in Canaan.” {HOME OF REFUGE OPEN. Federation of Women Takes a Little Arabian Girl as the First Inmate. The Federation of Women for Public ! Good has just opened the Home of Refuge at 1057 Golden Gate avenue for the tem- porary shelter of destitute women and children. | The first inmate is a little Arabian girl | known by the name of ‘‘Jennie,” and the lagies have already decided that the five- | year-old child is a mascot. Jennie was in | a deplorable condition when she was taken | into the home, Almost her onty clothing consisted of a thin cotton frock which was torn and dirty, and the child was gener- ally in a very neglected condition. How- ever, a bath and a new suit of clothes ef- fected a great transformation, and Jennie has been found to be such a bright, intelii- zent child that it is the desire of the ex- ecutive board to bring her up in the shel- ter as a mascot. The child’s parents brought her about a year ago from Arabia. Soon after reaching this City she was deserted by her mother, and her father, who is very ill, is quite’ unable to do anything for the child. At present there are beds in the shelter for six destitute women or children. When the place is more fully furnished there wili be room for twelve, Mrs. Tru- worthy, the matron, is authorized to take in women and children who are without shelter, and though the iadies have not supplies in hand for very far ahead, they say that they intend to keep up an_active canvass for ways and means to carry on the work. —————— Municipal Printing Contract. Robert A. Crothers, editor and proprietor of the Bulletin, has instituted & suit to have set aside the contract for municipal advertising, recently awarded to the Dail; Tt by t Supervisors of the City ml g‘?fi'gty-oi Sa Francisco. Mr. Crothers includes the pro- Eflewu of the Report and the members alpthe oard of Supervisors in the list ot defendan! He alleges that his was the lowest bid that Le isentitied tothe contract. A writ of mandate has been asked for to show why the contract should not be taken from the Report and given to the Bulletin.

The official head of Charles H. Forbes, Prosecuting Attorney of Police Court 1, was dropped into the basket at the meet- ing of the Board of Superyisors yesterday without any reason for the decapitation being publicly assigned. The matter came up in the form of a resolution from Supervisor King, sum- marily dismissing Forbes and filling the position by the appointment of Thomas Quigley. Supervisor Hobbs rose to inquire what it was all about, saying that he had been away and knew nothing of the contem- plated removal. “I don’t care to exvlain,” said Super- visor King, ‘‘the man next to you will tell you all about it.” *The man next'’ to Mr. Hobbs was Su- pervisor Wagner, who is known to enjoy a | large measure of Mr. King’s confidence, and he leaned over and whispered in Mr. Hobbs’' ear. The Supervisor from the Eleventh seemed satistied and there was no further opposition to the remioval. Mr. King would not tell why he had caused the removal of a man for whose appointment he was responsible, but it was rumored that he had been in a fistic encounter with Forbes or some of his friends, over transactions that took place during the recent campaign, and' that he had rather the worst of the argument. A few scratches across his right cheek #nd a report. Another rumor connected Forbes with the recent investigation of Head Janitor Murdock. Whichever surmise is correct { matters not, for Attorney Forbesisamong | the *‘outs.”” | Thebond of tke People’s Mutual Tele- phone Company to caver damages to pub- | lic streets while erecting its poles and lay- |ing its conduits was presented and laid over until Wednesday morning, when & special meeting will be held to hear the | City and County Attorney’s opinion on the document. In the meantime the | sureties named, who qualify in the sum of | $10,000 each, will be investigated. By resolution the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company was instructed to place telephones in the residerces of Po- Iice Captains Gillen and Spillane and in each of the new food inspection stations. The bond of the same company to cover | damages to streets while laying under- ground conduits was approved in the sum of $10,000, with Oliver Eldridge and Wil- tiam F. Goad as sureties. The communication of the Grand Jury raising objections to the condition in which the corridors and some of the offices in the hall are kept, and recommending the immediate dismissal of Head Janitor Murdock and two of his subordinates, was referred to the Municipal Buildings Com- mittee. e STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

Another Meeting to Bo Held To-Morrow at Mrs. John Pettee’s Nesidence. Objects of the Plan. Mrs. John Pettee and her friends are anxious to press forward their plans for the provision of little homeless City waifs. A friend of the cause said yesterday: “The intent of the promoters of the pro- posed Children’s Emergency Hospital and Receiving Home enterprise in connection with and as an adjunct to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children is to have a piace available at any and all times where children suffering from disease and injuries who may be taken in charge by the society can be received and given the necessary medical or surgical treatment free of charge. In many of the existing institutions for the care of children it is very undesirable to admiv such as are suffering from contagious or even cuta- neous diseases, as no facilities are at hand for their proper care. “In others the free wards may be over- crowded and several days must elapse be- fore a new applicant can be admitted, or a ohild may be suffering from neglect, starvation and filth and require careful nursing and the doors of the established institutions perforce closed against it on accoant of some disease as scarlet fever raging within their walls. It is not the intention to antagonize or supplant any established hospital or insti- tution. On the contrary it is hoped that all such will open their doors for.the poor, neglected and distressed little charges of the society as freely in the future as they have in the past. *‘The prime object of this hospital and home is to provide proper shelter and care for all little ones who may be sent from the society for one or more days until arrangements can made for placing them permanently in some established hospital or institution. “With this object in view it is deemed advisable to secure in some healthy and central locality a small building which can be utilized for the purpose. “‘We desire to equip this building in the proper manner, with cots and other neces- sary furniture, a small range, a sufficient supply of needful drugs, medicines, ban- dages, etc. All this should be placed in charge of not less than two competent women, who for the present would be nurse, housekeeper, cook and matron. “To accomplish our aim funds are re- quired, and the entertainments given and to be giver by Mrs. Jonn Pettee are for the purpose of acquiring the needed amount. ‘At a meeting to-morrow at 2505 Leavenworth street the hall and pro- gramme will be decided upon. All inter- ested in the ‘rropossd enterprise are in- vited to attend.” —————— Mrs. Hale’s Allowance Decreased. Judge Coffey has signed an order reducing the family allowance of Mrs. Anais Hale, widow of the late Joseph P. Hale, from $550 a month to §350 a month. The ufpllcuuuu tor this reduction was made on behalf of Margaret Ryan and certain creditors of the estate. ——— Monkeys are like men in one respect— they suffer ereatly from seasickne: Lal prot t.
