This novel entertainment is the result | of an expressed desire on the part of | many to have some Alameda County com- vositions. There are many musicians here who have made names for them- | selves outside the State, and it has been | considered proper that they should have represzntation in an Alameda County In- dustrial Exposition.

Although the anti-expectoration ordi- | nance, which would protect the dresses of | tha ladies, did not find favor with Oak- ; 1and officials they have enough regard for | their own convenlence to protect them- | selyes and their sex in the theaters.

OAKLAND, CaL., July 23.—The placing | of the electric systems under the controi of onme corporation in this county gives prominence to the possibility of some ex- tension of some of the terminals. Large tracts of land in the Claremont district | are being placed upon the market. Itis| stated that the terminals of the California | Railroad and the Highland Park line are to be connected, and thus give this terri- tory good traffic accommodations. The line would run down the Redwood road | and thus open up a big suburban res dence district. As the Realty Syndicate owns both of these lines and most of the large tracts of land in the neighborhood it would be but natural for them play into their own hanas.

CANNOT CREATE | ANY MONOPOLY Mayor Thomas Sends a Legal Opinion With a Veto, The Council Cannot Tmpose a Fine on Any One in a Regular Business Reavengers Uannot Be Forced to Haul Their COolleotions to One Company. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jaly 23. } Mayor Thomas created some consterna- tion to-day by rendering a legal opinion with his veto of the ordinance giving the exclusive right to gather garbage to the crematory company. It was not known that the Mayor was a trained attorney, but his opinion shows that he has evi- dently studied the statutes closely, The veto is based on the assumption that the law expressiy forbids the creat- ing of monopolies, and in this case tbe particular form of the ordinance was held to be unconstitutional. It imposed a penalty on all people who should gather garbage except those to whom the city had awarded the contract. The ordinance was passed by the Coun- | cil because many people were gathering garbage who were not delivering it at the crematory for reduction, and who conse- | quently must have been disposing of it by | dumping 1t somewhere in the city con- trary to the provisions of the health ordi- nance. | Ever since the crematory opened and was awarded the contract for disposing of | the garbage there has been continual | strife with the scavengers. LThey have re- fused to deliver the garbage in quantities and at such times as the crematory veople deemed to be reasonabvle, and there bas always been unpleasantne: When the ordinance was pasted Te- quiring that a!l the garbaze be burned there was no provision made for the pun- | ishment of those who did notobey. It! was the ordinance providing the punish- ment that Mayor Thomas has refused to sign. It would have made {t a misde- meanor for any one to gather garbage and destroy 1t on their own account and would bave created a monopoly. The scavengers had already employeua attor- | neysto bring a test case and carry the | measure is now avoided. The Mayor's veto will be hard on the | crematory, for they can only keep run- | ning if all the garbage is delivered to | them and they receive regular rates for | destroying it.

Directors Craigie Sharp and John T. Bell Tryin Vain for a “Berke- ley Day."” BERKELEY, CAL., July 23.—It was a frosty reception that Directors Sharp and Bell of the Oakland Exposition got last evening from the citizens of Barke- ley, when they came to the college town to arrange for a Berkeley day at the Oak- land fair. In fact they did not get any reception at all, notwithstanding the fact that Pres- ident Richards of the Town Board had called for the people to assemble. When the hour of meeting came there were pres- ent the two directors mentioned, Presi- | dent Richards, who called the meeting, Joseoh J. Mason. in whose office the party gathered, and three newspaper men, who had come to report the proceedings. After a few minutes’ conversation the party dispersed, the editors of the three local vapers having been appcinted a comimittee to_ arrange for the *‘day’’ if they could. Next Thursday has been set aside by the directors for Berkeley, Toe lack of interest in the exposition on the part of the citizens of the college town seems to be from the fact that it was originally advertised as an exclusively Oakland enterprise. To Aid New Girl Graduates, BERKELLEY, Car., July 23.—The Young Women's Christian Association of the State University has made arrangements to assist the young women entering college this year in various ways. If requested to do so, they will mest new students at the trains or help them to ding places.

G, Sanborn was appointed to gather what information they could as to the vossibility of securing an extension to the north end of the Oakland Consoli- | aatea or the Telegraph-avenue lines.

A dozen or more speeches |- GHRISTIANS OF SIMPLE MOLD Brethren Without a Priest- hood and Preachers Without Salaries. They Claim to Worship as Did the Early Followers of the Lord. Belief That the Messiah Will Make Jerusalem the Metropolis of the World. San Francisco has had for some time a body of earnest men and women whose lives are devoted to the restoration of the original simplicity of the early Christian life and worship. They are sometimes known as Brethren, but they disclaim any denominational name. They point to the text, ** Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name there will 1 be in the midst of them.” It is very like that essentially demo- cratic and communistic body of Christians of whom lolstoi writes with so much power and sweetness of description. No collections are taken up, except among those in fellowship, and there is no priest- hood or hierarchy. There may be a dozen pastors in the same congregation—breth- ren who visit the sick and perform other Christian offices, but they have neither salary nor authority. Any one who feels the impulse of the Spirit may preach and perform other evangelical or instructive work. There are no seminaries for the education of any of the members in the- ology, for the brethren believe in the in- div:dual interpretation of the Bible, which for the purposes of divine worskip and rule of conduct in the affairs of lite they regard as inspired ana the only book. Some among them, following the exam- ples of the apostles and other boly men of old, bave voluntarily embraced a life of poverty, literally leaving all the wor!d's gooas behind and following in the foot- steps of the Divine Master. Such evan- gelists are provided for by the brethren whom they visit. They receive no salary and take nothing from the unconveried, but their necessities are supplied by the brethren. This fact of itself speaks vo!- umes for their sincerity. Their religious services are very simple. On Sunday mornings the assembly of the faithful sit around a long table and par- take of bread and wine in memory of Him whom they worship. There are no sacraments. Members are baptized asa confession of faith; but the rite of bap- tism cen be performed by any member. Sa:d & member last night: “‘We believe in the second coming of Christ, although we are not Seventh-day | Adventists, and that he will come to set | up the Jews in power in the city of Jeru- salem, which will then be the metropolis | of the world, as prophesied. But that will be only material, theJews being God's chosen people of the earth, for the true | Christians will be taken up to heaven with the Messiah. We believe that there are true C.ristians in all the churches—the Roman *'Catholic and the churches—but those churches have de- parted from the teaching of Christ and have a clerzy and laity—the clergy being a privileged c.ass and assuming to b> me- | diators and as being endowed with rowers | This is contrary to | Again, | the Catholic church recognizes the Pope | | that something be done for her. denied to the laity. - the spirit of true Christianity. as the head, and the Pr tesiant church recognizes the reigning monarch of Kng- land as the head, while the Czar 1s the ac- knowledged head ot the Greek church.

We have ncither presbytery nor council, nor any other autiority save the Lord.” The assembly-i0om of thisundenomina- tional denomination is at 832 Howard street and is known as Gospel Hall. Since June 6 a course of lectures on the Loid's coming and kindred prophetic sub- jects has been in progress, delivered by dvangelist W. J.

OAKLAND, Car., July 23—The pro- gramme of dances by tiie littie folks to- night at the exposition attracted consider- able attention. They went through the numbears in an artistic manner and were heartily applauded. To-morrow is patriotic day and will be one of the very «argest of the season.
