The pur- pose of the special meeting is to consider the apolication of that church to have the Rov. H. D. Brasefield installed as their pastor. The meeting promis anotber church row. to result in A strong opposition | bas already been organized and when the matter comes up it is possible that Mr. Brasefield will be refused. The whole trouble arises from the fact that Mr. Brasefield has attempted to get ahead of his position as laid down by the pres- byter: Mr. Brasefield was refused = license to preach,” said the Rev. B. W. Perry, | president of the presbytery, ‘‘some time agoon the ground that he had not the necessary theological education. He was recommended to take a two years' course at the San Anselmo Seminary. Last spring, just a month before the two years expired, he appiied to the presbytery, then in session, and was granted a license to preach. We all thought he would fin- isk his course. “The presbytery never installs a man a: pastor until he has studied three yea and, as he has refused to finish his two years, 1do not believe that he will be in- stalled as pastor on Thursday night. His conduct has hurt his standing mate- riaity.” © College Commencement.

Low Prices Prevail Because of the Entire Absence of United Efforts. Must Follow the Examp'e Set by the Fruit.Growers of Southern California. OAKLAND OFrice 8AN FraNcCISCO CALy, 908 Broad way, May 15. } A movement has been started for estab- lishing a vegetable and fruit growers’ union in Alameda Uounty. At the pres- ent time certain branches of vegetable- growing are being ruined because of in- judicious competition and owing to a lack of good judgment in handling the com- mission business. In the neighborhood of Pleasanton there are many acres of peas which the growers are not taking the trouble to pick because of the low prices. In the city of Oakland these vegetables are bringing good prices, such as would pay for their growing if they could be got to market without having to pass through so many hands. 1t was for the purpose of doing away with the middlemen from San Francisco that the local commission men have chartered a steamer, and will con- duct their own commission business directly with the growers along the Sacra- mento River. The same principle that was found to be working to a disadvantage in regard to the produce from river ports needs to be corrected in regzard to the produce grown in the interior of the county. It is claimed that all of these matters can be adjusted by a well-organized Vegetable and Fruit Growers’ Union, such as exists in every county producing as much as Alameda. Some months ago the Livermore League of Progress took up this matter, and at- tempted to create enough interest for the formation of a produce exchange in this city. But the matter was allowed to | lapse. Now that the fruit season hasopened, | and growers realize that they cannotob- | tain adequate returns for their products, the question has been brought forward in a more energetic manner. A fruit-grower, who has made the conditions of produce- | growing in Alameda County a special study, has issued a lengthy statement ) which concludes as follows: Boards of trade could do nobetter work than | go out into the small towns of our State and | got them organized and interested in growir and shipping fruit and produce sysiema: cally.

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 18.—After to- morrow Veterinary Carpenter and the Board of Health will confiscate in grocery and produce stores and bakeries all arti cles which have been condemned as adul- terated or unfit for food.

Orange-growers in Southern California have had thoir eyes opened to such things, and San Jose and vieinity are slso awake and organized, and, as a result, all are better off in those localities, Those who have cherries o sell this year are greatly surprised when the canneries sead out their buyers, as they have in the past week, | and offer only 1 105 centsa pound for thatfruit. | It is simply outrsgeous.

OAKLAND, Car, May 18.—The Boys’ Brigade, Second California Regiment, has decided to camp this year at Bohemia, on the Russian River. At the re:ular meet- ing the most important thing under dis- cussion was the coming camp. It had been decided some months ago that the regiment should go to,Sunol, but the fee ing among the boys seemed to be against Sunol and strongly in favor of Bohemia, on the Russian River. The regiment camped there last year and was treated so well by the authorities and by the raiiroad that Bohemia will again be the camping ground of the Second California Regiment. It was decided that the regiment go into camp for eight days, commencing on June 16. Much interest is being shown, ; and {rom appearances double ths number | Director Robertson, who maintained that | that | as follows: |DIED AWAY FROM HOME, | vular disease of the heart. taken ‘last year will go with the regi- ment. The auxiliary camp will be situated near the military camp and will be run on the same style as last year, The guard duty for the boys will not be so burdensome this year, as it is being arranged to not give more than twenty- four hours’ duty to any one boy during the entire eight days. The regiment also decided to accept the invitation of the Decoration day commit- tee and parade on that day. Orders will be issued to turn out theentire regiment and make as fine showing as possible.

BERKELEY, CaL, May 18.—A peculiar state of affairs exists in the Berkeley School Department as a result of the ukase sent forth by the Board of Education last night. They sent forth the proclamation that no dyspeptics need apply for posi- tions in the department. They decided that in future one of the qualifications for a position as teacher in the schools of the | university town must be in good health. Dyspepsia was especially tabooed by | persons troubled with chronic indigestion were not capable of maintaining a proper equability of temper. ‘The same,” said he, *4is true of any nervous diseas 1 presume that it we required a certificate of health it would cause a terrible howl, as the vaccination law did, but it wouid certatnly be just as good a thing.” The preposed new requirement for teachers was first suzgested in the annual report of Presiaent Boone, who declared unbealthy teachers might be a sonrce of danger to pupils, The matter was disposed of last night by the adoption of a report offered by DI- rector Crew in which it was provided that every applicant for a position as_teacher in Berkeley must be realy at least to make an affirmation that he or she is tree from organic diseases, such as consump- tion or dyspepsia. The new law will go into effect at once, and if there be any dyspeptics or con- sumptives among the teachers of the Berkeley public schools they are in danger of huving their official heads lopped off when the time for the election of teachers comes around again.

The Corner of Powell and O'Farrell Streets to B2 Sold at Auction To- Morrow by Order of Court. More attention at the piesent time is being given by investors and home-seek- ers to outside property, such as can be had without the inconvenience of saving for the greater part of a lifetime. The idea of owning & home is becoming more fixed in the minds of people of mod- erate incomes, and to that end the cheaper nds, with the added inducements of time and easy payments, are being sought. The outlying districts show by the number of dwellings going up that ad- vantage is being taken of the low prices of land and also of the cheapening of all building materials. in the building line considerable activ- ity is noticeable, both in large and small work. The new work being started is, however, mostly in the line of small and medium-sized dwelllngs and flats. The more rapialy Uity real estate ad- vances in value the more room there is supposed to be for general congratula- tion. Nevertheless there are many sad features connected with rapid increase of real estate values in large cities. Buch advances fall with grinding weight on the poor, not only rendering it impossible for them to own a home of their own, but in very many cases placing even a decent premises for rent beyond their means. This is one of the chief reasons, if not the strongest, why all those with small means in a growing city snould make evory effort for the acquisition of a homestead bé- f.re land within # reasonable distance of the City center has advanced to a price that ren- ders the purchase of a home impossible to those in poor circumatances. San Francisco is_peculiariy situated from’a real estate standpoint. To prophesy how citles will grow which are situated in the middle of a great plain, like Denver, or even on the shore of the great lake, like Chicago, is not an easy task. One cannot tell which way the growth may extend—norch or south, east or west. In such cases speculation may re- sult most disastrously. The wisest heads are sometimes wrong in their prophecies of the diredtion of a city’s growth. In the case of San Francisco, however, there is no room for error. One cannot guess wrongly as to the direction of its growth. its business increases, as it grows in impor. 2 s a commercial center and as its rail- roads multiply, so will San Francisco, the great maritime and commerciel city of the Pacific Coast, increase and completely occupy the peninsula on which it 1s situated. No city in the world is so advantageously situated to build up an immense and far-reach- ing foreign trade. No otner city is near at hand to compete with it. There is no harbor on the shore of California where a city can be built which will compare commercially with San Francisco. Through this harbor must passinto the United States the merchandise and produce of all the states and nations 1o the west, to the north and to the south, and through it must pass to these in return the wealth of California and its sister States. One of the most important auction sales of downtown property since the sale of the Ryer estate property about two years ago willbe the offering to-morrow by Baldwin & Howell of the southeasi corner of Powell and Ellis stroets. The property in question is to be sold by order of the Probate Court. The improve- ments on the land consist of a four-story brick building. Itisnot often that such a choice plece of income property finds its way into the suction-rooms, and when it does bidders are seldom found iacking. NEW BUILDINGS.

CIVIL SABBATH WANTED. Endeavorers’ Agitation Indorsed by the State Association Conven- tion. OAKLAND, CAr, May 18.—Rev. Dr. Buchanan of Berkeley brought down a storm of denunciation upon himself this morning at the State convention of the Sabbath Observance Association. He challenged the usefulness of such gather- ings and pointed at the dozen delegates present to carry out his meaning. He claimed that the inability to gain a larger attendance was due to the lack of inter- est among the church members and even the ministers.

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 forobodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. Thers isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such a straln men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled ses of sexual weakness until it _was & question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination oi medicines that not only completely restored the general health, 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 sddress may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. ist, nor do I poseas e thousands of men hood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one thas cured me.
