PRESBYTERY MEETS. Oakland’s Presbyterian Pastors Con- vene in the University Town. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 15.—The Oak- land Presbytery met last night and to-day mm the First Presbyterian Church ot Berkeley. The gathering last evening was a young people’s rally of the Christian Endeavor societies. At the'session this morning the report of the board of foreign missions presented by S. S. Palmer was the central topic of | discussion. The report contamned a gen- | eral review of missionary work now being | carried on throughout the wor'd which was praised as being a high form of Chris- tian activity. The report followed with the following four recommendations, which were adopted: . First—That pastors preach on the subject of foreign missions on the morning of the second | Sabbath in January. Second — That the churches during the coming year use the snew topics” 1or the monthly concert of mis- sions. Third—That the young people’s work be under the care of the presbytery’s perma- nent commitiee of foreign missions.” Fourth— That we overture the synod to make the syn- odical chairman of foreign missions to hold his place for at least five years. In accordance with the recommenda- tions Rev. 8. 8. Palmer and Rev. R. F. Coyle were appointed a committee on the matter of younz people’s societies sup- porting a foreign missionary. The elec- tion of commissioners to the General Assembly resulted in the selection of the Rev. F. S. Brush of Alameda and Rev. ‘8. 8. Palmer of East Oakland. Rev. E. F. * Fish and Rev. R. Logan of Pleasanton were chosen as alternates. Eiders C. P. Hoag and C. M. Buck were also elected delegates, with R. T. Stewart and George 0. Bordwill as alternates To-night a public meeting was held at the church. Among the speakers were | President Martin Kelloge of the State University, Professor Eimer E. Brown and Rev. ¥. E. Brush of Alameda. An Ineffective Ordinance. BERKELEY, CAL., Dec. 15.—The Board of Town Trustees last night discussed the rescinding of the new license law by Which Berkeley merchants have been try- ing to secure protection against the com- petition of Oakland merchants. The law is thought to be a failure, asit has not yet accomplished any appreciable results. 1t was stated that the license of $100 a quarter could not be collected, and that when arrests were made for violations of the ordinance the juries had broucht in | | $600 being carried. The Centennial Presbyterian Church, ich has been in charge of Rev. John W. D.D., is all wrought up over the ion of installing him as its pastor meeting was held Sunday evening which was of such a nature as to cause weeping in the congregation and a request by the pastor for any one who had aught to against him or his character to meet him after service. The matter all came out at the meeting of the Oakland presbytery this afternoon at Berkeley, when the question of installing Rev. Mr. Ellis as pastor of that church was reached. Elder George S. Prosser reported the financial condition of the church, and de- clared that the expenses were running behind, while there was a debt of about He declared some of the trustees tavored closing the church entirely. This was the cause for Dr. st | Ellis to declare that the church was in it about two | debt when he went into years ago, and that he had been paying $60 a month on it. There was considerable reference to troubles and opposition to the installation | from some of the churcn people, when, finally, Dr. Coyle said he believed it was | time for Elder Prosser to make spec fic charges. Dr. Ellis turned on Eider Pros- ser and asked: “'Do you say that morally I am a baa man?” But Elder Prosser was not ready to explain his position, so remained quiet. Dr. Coyle 1insisted that any objectiors to the instailation must be of "a definite character, and urged the presbytery to install Dr. Ellis as pastor, | and if any one did not like him they | could leave. { Dr. Eilis, who had been pacing the floor, could restrain himself no longer. “If an; one Kncws snything against me,” he said, woman, saangeis or deviis, I am Motions were piled one on top of another until Eider G. A. Bordweil, in perfect sin- cerity, inquired of the moderator: “Where are we at?” Some wanted the charges to be made specific right then and there, while others wanted the whole thing re- ferred to a committee for investigation. In favor of the latter Dr. Coyle said: “We | don’t want to go any further herr or there will be another big church scandal as a reproach on religion. The question as to whether the installa- | tion should go on or whether there should | be an investigation of the charges was ! of the Revs. R. F. Coyle, H. B. McEride and G. W. Lyon and Elders R. T. SBtewart and G. A. Bo:dwell. The commitiee reported unanimously | to request Dr. E lis to take the call under advisement until the spring meeting of the Presbytery, and the report was adepted unanimously. This was considered as ex- pressing a judgment to the effect that if Dr. Eliis was read aright he could decline the call tefore that time. Dr. Coyle in speaking of this action said, “Ir means that during this time an at- tempt will be made to harmonize all fac- tions. This tronble has nothing to do with the tronble Dr. Elis had in San Francisco, but is only the old troubles of | this church again peing aired.” Miss Eleanor Teitsworth, who has the largest Sunday-scnool class in the church, told the following story: “The trustees last Wednesday met and by a vote of 9 to 1 decided to call Dr. Eilis as pastor. The obj-ction was made to paying a salary of $2000. Dr. Kllis then offered to accept §$1200 a year. Sunday he said from the puipit that there was a spirit of unrest, gossip, backbiiing and talk going on in the congregation about him and if there were any present who had anything to say about him or his character he would like to meet them after the service. He closed by saying that the teacher of one of the largest classes in the Sunday-school was doing the most talking. My mother took exception to this and decided to have it out with him. She went up and he met her with an open hand which she refused. He has dons wany things to injure my feelings. I have taken my class Saturday afternoons to decorate the church only to find Sunday that Le had rearranged the whole thing. He complained because I did not have the class memorize certain verses, but instead had them commit | the psalms to memory, saying I was ten years behind the times. Frank S. Hastings is our agsistant superintendent and he has tried to get rid of him. Once he went to Mr. Hastings saying that he | was aware his father was 1ll and if he wanted to remain away they could get a substitute to fill his position. He has chaneed the choir from a chorus to a quar- tet, 80 as (o get rid of a number of young people who sing.” NEW T O-DAY. < v s A Vv A g CAUTION: w i : one genuin M . g v the firm “Andreas Saxlehner?” on the label -(((((((((@)))))-))))bé? \\4 meWorld’s Best Natural Aperient Water \\4 Hunyadi Jinos ANDREAS SAXLEHNER, PROPRIETOR Purveyor by special appointment to H.

Artist Hoffman Furnishes a Poster of a Typical Girl Graduate. M ss Vrooman Prophesies, Miss White- head Says “Farewell” and Charles Ayres Handles Fruit Cans. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 15. § The High School graduating class of 1896 has just issued their own edition of the “Mgis.” The writers have taken up for their class essays many interesiing subjects and have handied them with a degree of discretion and ability which isa credit alike to them and their institution. The class consists of thirty-six gradu- ates, about equally divided between boys ana girls, and they announce a&s their motto: Ah! but a mau’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or whav's a heaven for? The class artist, John D. Hoffman, has drawn a poster which represents a typical high school graduateof the class of '96, and it compares favorably with the work of many older artists. Miss Lucy Vrooman makes a class prophecy which has much more merit than is usually found in similar theses. She carries the various members of her | class through their respective futures and prophesies for them distinction which will land them far higher up the ladder of fame than many of them will doubtless 1 fulfill. | The practical side of life is handled by { Charies F. Ayres, who deals not in prophe- | cies or visions, but in the details of the practical making of fruit cans. 1f Mr. Ayres has learned sll his information in this branch of manufacture in the Oak- land High School the education there im- | parted is certainly more practical than that of any other hizh school in the land. | For a high school graduate, the author on | *How Fruit Cans Are Made’’ must have | been remarkably industrious. The “Farewell” of the class is written | by Miss Louise Whitehead and, if she ex- | presses the sentiments of her fellow grad- uates, Principal McChesney stands very high in their estimation, for she acknowl- edges that his efforts have been directed toward making them ‘“love learning for learning’s sake.”" The class history is written by Eugene W. Roland, and he recites briefly but | cleariy the various stages throigh which a graduate passes from initiation to gradua- tion. Judging from the experience of some of its members, the gradustes of '96 cannot fail to prove very daring in their future lives, for many of the scrapes to which Mr. Roland refers must have required more grit than is usunally found even in high senool boys. Miss Murgaret Troili is the class poet. It would take too much space to repro- | duce her effort, but she gl.des smoothiy along from Shelley and Keats down to Wordsworth and Browning and her poem is one of the best of its kind that has ema- nated from the High School. NIGHT OF BOXING. The Reliance Club Has Two kxcellent Affairs on Its Winter Pro- gramme. OAKLAND, Car, Dec. 15,—The Relt- ance Athletic Club will give one of its vopular gentlemen’s nights to-morrow in the auditorium of its building.

Paterson, the executor of the will of Mrs. Marie Louisa Lull, who is attacked in the contest filed in behalf of the son, James Lull, now an inmate of the States’ prison, makes a very positive denial of the charge that bhe unduly influenced the decedent and that he encouraged the prosecution of the son for forgery. “Tke whole thing is a scheme to get money out of me,” said Dr. Paterson to- day, “and I will show this to be the fact when the case comes to-trial.” A Temporary St. John's, OAKLAND, CaL, Dec. 15.—The offer of the Rey. Michael King of the Immacu- late Conception of the use of St. Mary’s Hall to the St. John’s Episcopal Church has been accepted, and services will be held ther= next Sunday by the Rev. Floyd J. Mypard. This is directly oppo- site the St. John’s church and is fitted up for church purposes. Hns Her Own Money. OAKLAND, CaL, Dee. 15.—L. H.

Next Saturday Night to Be One of General Illumina- tion, From North to South ths Electric Ray Will Spread the Joyous Tiiings. Provision of electric arc lights in all the business streets of the City is now the in- dication of a general desire to bring San Francisco to the front as it never was in the past. The benefits to trade in the arawing of thousands of personsinto Polk street dur- ing tne evening hours since the merchants of that thoroughfare had the arc lights swung over the center of their street have acted as an impetus to otber merchants and property-owners on streets that are practically business centers for their re- spective localities, stirring them to em- ulate this example; and as a result San ‘rancisco will, before the winter months pass, be illuminated by electric lights, givine stores and dwellings a midday in- stead of a shadowy appearance, such as they presented before the era of progress and improvements set in. To accomplish this desirable end resi- dents of several outside business streets have moved in the matter, with the result of forming improvement clubs. Powell street, from Market to Geary, if President Friediander’s intentions are carried out, will eclipse all others in the uniqueness of the display which will greet the public on Christmas eve, if not before. At a meeting of the club of which Mr. Friedlander is president, beld yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the Columbia Theater, A, L. Pyser of the woolen mills, W. H. Harrison and C. C. Haub were added to the executiye committee. Ninth street is not going to be left be- hind in the general forward march, and in this movement the fondest hopes of John Hayden, the butcher, who was the first to introduce electric lig its in his shop on t is street will materialize inlo reality. At a meeting nheld in Hibernia Hail on Monday evening a club was organized with the following ofhcers: President, M. A.Owens; vice-president, John Haden ; sec- retary, J. F. Renault; treasurer, H. M. D, Meyer. It was reported that there was sufficient money in hand to guarantee the lighting with arc lamps of the two blocks from Market to Howard. The Merchants’ As- sociation has signed a contract with the electric light company for five lights over each block, and the lights may possibly be in position by Saturday. A. H. Cousins staied that he had already fourteen signatures signed for Lighting the block between Howard and Folsom, and the prospects were good for securing the aaditional names needed to guarantee the necessary lamps to that street, which will then swing from Markert to Folsom. Stockton street will hitch on to the big celebration to be held by the Kearny- street: and Montgomery-avenue residenis on next Saturday night. The clubrecently signed a contract for a year with the Edi- son Light and Power Company to light Stockton street from Green to Pacihic. Three arc lights wiil be placed in each block. The company began stringing wire throngh the street yesterday. The executive committee, consisting of Albert Bear, L. A. Rea, D. Donovan, J. Kitterman, J. Wessell, W. Kuttner and David Lowensteir, decided to report in {avor of making as large a demonstration Saturday evening as the fundsin the treas- urer’s hands will permit. The buildings along the lighted portion of the street will be decorated with flags and bunting. The Filimore-stireet Improvement Club are using every effort to get things in shape for the illumination of their thor- oughfare next Saturday evening. Fire- works and music will form imporiant factors of the programme which tte club has planned. Residents of the street are taking an active part in the matter and will iiluminate ana decorate their dwell- ing-bouses. The Filimore-street Im- provement Club has absorbed into its or- ganization the business men of California street between Fillmore and Steiner, and they propose to decorate both the busi- ness sections named. Saturday night will also be a memora- ble night with the residents on Sixteenth street from Guerrero to Folsom, as this street will be lighted. The proceedings of the residents of this locality, in meeting Monday, are fully reported by THE CALL. A vermanent organization has been el- fected by the Larkin-street Improvement Club, with the. following officers: Presi- dent, Dr. E. E. Hill; vice-president, H. H. Harris; secretary, C. S. Jucobs; treasurer, W. B. Kibbler; executive committee—C, A. Bantel, A. Moses, J. Stern, L. Herrin- ger and W. A. Coffee. The M rchants’ Association is doing everything in its power to assist those clubs in their endeavors to beautify the City. TUGGED A DRAW. Italy and Norway Compete at Sutroville and the Two Strong Teams Prove Equally Matched. Attendancs at Sutroville Monday night was not su large ason the previous day, owing to the inclemency of the weather. But this little drawback did not in the least detract from the grit and determina- tion of the competitors to tug on the hemp with all possible force. The first teams to put their beels against the cleats were Germany vs. America, and in this Uncle S8am’s citizens had the bar knocked down on their side in three minutes and twenty seconds, The betting. on this issue was 2 to 1 in favor of the winners. Canada vs. Slavosia next took their places and tugged for 12 minutes and 28 seconds, when the Canadians came out the winners. The betting on this issue was § to 1 on Canada. The Slavonians substituted Arreid Tkach, Joe McMahon and Gus Torrall for three of the team that pulled yesterday, but even this did not save them from defeat. 0O!d Ireland sent seven brawny sons to compete with Sweden, but 9 minutes and NEW TO-DAY.

The bet- ting on this result was 5 to 1 on the winners, Denmark vs. Portugal were t e next to mount the platform, and in 4 minutes and 10 seconds the Danes had pulled the per- pendicular bar over the line. The betting on the result of this tug was 20 to 3in fayor of the winners. The last and best pull of the evening was between Norway and Taly, with bet- ting 2 to 1 on the Norwegian team. From the word go until the limited time of thirty minutes had been reached there was no relaxation in the strain on the roBe‘ uring the first twenty minutes Italy had gained about eighteen inches, when the Norwegian team set i's teeth and heels and tugged and pulled, drawing the rope away from its adversaries until it was within the sixteenth part of an inch of the winning point and was about to knock the crossbar down, when C. W. Freese, the referee, blew his whistle, which left the contest a draw. The enthusiasm during this entire con- test had been unbounded. The attendance yesterday was much better than on the previous night and the contending teams showed, if anything, renewed vigor in the struggles to achieve victory. The first contest of the evening was be- tween Sweden and Slayonia. The betting was5tol on the Swedes, but there was no Slavonian money in sight. The wis- dom of this was seen from the time the men took their places on the cleats, as the Slavonians kept losing gradually until the Swedes, with one lureh, brought the per- pendicular bar against the crosspiece, when they were declared the winners in 9 minutes and 12 seconds. The next contest was between the Americans and Denmark. The betting on this contest was 10 to 4 in favor of Denmark, but this condition changed to 2to 1. Denmark had gradually drawn to their side until they coversed six cleats, when the Americans, by one grand spurt, recovered their lost ground and after a short rest of a few minutes started to run the carriage along the track until the crossbar fell. The result of this contest brought the house down with a roar of applause. This is the first instance in which the short-enders won. »The third contest was between Portugal and Norway. The betting on this resuit was 5t02 in favor of Norway, but this kept changing until it. was 10 to 2, with even money that Norway would win in five minutes. It only required one min- utes and twenty seconds, however, until the Norwegians had won. The third contest was between Ireland and Germany. The betting on’ this was 10 to 3on Ireland. Germany was notin it, for in five minutes and thirty-eight seconds Forbes’ pistol announced that the late of Germany had been sealed. Italy and Canada were the next to NEW TO-DAY. UNYON!

CAUTICN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE UF CALIFORMA: Many un- scrupulous drug cutters, who, having forced the selling price of MUNYON'S REMEDIES to cost. and, therefore, not desiring to sell them, will tell you that these remedies are not good, and will try to persuade you to take some other preparation, which they will recom- mend as being better. Such men are not deserving of your contidence or patronage. Therefore do no: be de- ceived by them, but INSIST upon get- ting 5 UNYON’S. - SCOTCH WHISKY. M.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT TR WEAKVESS OF MEN. WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental snffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such & strain men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all bis throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general heaith, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment iree. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because T want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. Iam nota philantaropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage-stamps necessary to mail the infermation, but sead for it ana learn that there are a few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to eet, are worth a fortune to some men and mean a life- time of happiness to mostoi us.
