AN AGLEEMENT FOR COLONISTS. In consideration of the fact that I, Charles Cillespie, am a candidate for the Salvation Army Colony, near <ole- dad, Mooterey County, Cal., I hereby agree to voluntarily off-r myself on trial to work at the preliminary plow- ing and other work, and will make no c wha soever for my services.

(HARL ES GILLESPIE, OAxLAND OFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Oct, 6. § The first contingent of the cclonists to go to the Salvation Army colony at Soie- dad, Monterey County, left Oakiand this morning. The party consisted of Lieu- tenant Tilisley, Captain Thompson, Charles Gillespie, F. Trayeler and . Lau- rence, These men are the pioncers of the Beet Farm Colony, and their leaving was a matter of great interest to the Salvation Army, which bas undertaken to carry out the plan, with the assistance of the in- fluential San Francisco committee. Major Winchell was on hand to give the advance guaid a few parting words ot ad- vice, and this afternoon the four-horse wagon started on its journey southward. The first installment of material for the farm consisted of several plows, harrows and other sgricuitural impiements, which will be followed within the next week by severzl loads of other material and colo- nis The men who went to-day have | signed a provisional agreement, which wiil be supplemented by s full legal contract aiter they nave had enough experience to enable them to decide regarding the prob- ability of their taking up the pian per- manently. Two of the men who went down to-day are married and have fami- lies, but while they are candidates for the | work their families will be locked after by | 1 the army until such time &s the coiony is ready 1o receive them. “This besinning of our great plan,” said Major Winchell to-day, “reminds me somewhat of the recital by General Booth of the es ablishment of the litile mission in the eastend of London that was the pioneer movement of the great Salvation Army. This project of colonizing large | tracts of land with surplus population is | necessary to the world’s physical wel- | iare as the lenching of the army is (o its | itual progress. 1 believe that it will '3 10 as large dimensiors as our spirit- ual work. nature of an experiment, alihough we | uccess with our | and to prove | ca in a week an- other contingent will take down a com- plete outfit for a blacksmith shop, another one will take down lumber, and another windmills and necessary fittings. “We are sending down cur stores by rail, as we consider that the salest plan.

There are two or three houses already built that we can use, and it is hoped to get in a crop of beets that will be harvested next season, and which will place the colonists on an independent basis. | *'We have drawn up an official contract | which contains no more restrictions than | is considered necessary to_guarantee good | faith from both parties. It provides that notless than $1 50 a week shall be paid by the colonists on each acre of land ihey take up, but this pavment is not rent, for each coionist is creaited with the amount on the purchase of his little farm. No ore will pay a8 cent moie for the land or the improvement than it actually costs, ana it 18 presumed that at the end of ten vears the colonists will be scle owners of tneir farms. If we can accomplish this | we shall consider we are doing a great work., During the time these payments are being made the colonist agrees to abide by the rules and reguiations that may be necessary for the preservation of | discipiine, and also agrees to submit to e decision of the officers of the colony in any case where they may be cailed pon to arbitrate. With bhonest, prac- tcal, hara-working men this scheme can- not possibly fail.” Maimgren Wants His Child.

The Park-Street Methodist Church and the Iarsonage to Be | Moved. ‘ ALAMEDA, Carn, Oct. 6.—For some | time the official board of the Park-streei | Metnodist church has had under consider- ation extensive improvemeuts upon its property at the corner of Central avenue | and Park street. | Seme time ago the church bought a | large lot on the corner of Central avenue | and Oak wireet, and since then verious | projects for improvement have been dis- | cussed. It has at last been decided to | move the parsonage from its present loca- | tion on Central avenue to the new lot on | Oak street. Then the church will be | turned around so_as to face on Central | avenue instead ot Park street, and will be | moved over the present site of the parson- | age. This will leave a deep lot fronting | on Park street, upon which a business | biock will be erected. The rentals from this will materially aid the churcb finances, and it is expected thaiin time a sale can be effected which will yieid enough to erect a new church building on the Oak and Central lot. A committee consisting of j. F. Forderer, G. T. Watterson and L. W. McGlanflin was appointed to take charge of the matter, and plans will be procured for the pro- posed improvement, which will be carried out as soon as possible. Marsh Land Matter. ALAMEDA.

When the case was being tr.ed ex- pertsof the Geodelic Survey testified that ship channel was eighteen feet of water | at low tide, and tbat in accordance with | this rule the end of the pier was about | one thousand fect inside the limits of the | city. ! The recent decision declares that the | end of the pier is about 150 leat outside | the city himits.

Remarkable Effect of a Letter| Sent From Hangfhan's Row, Prigoners Gather Round and Are Much Affected at the Blunt Advice. OAxrAND OFrice SaN Fraxcisco CAtw) 908 Broauway, Oct. 6. § Murderer Hill, although 1t is not cer- tain he wiil be in this world at Christmas, has already commenced the work of try- ing to save the souls of his late fellow- prisoners in the County Jail. He has written several letters to his Bible classat | B the County Jail, one being to P. D. Me- Mabon, who was recently sentenced to five years for a brutal attack on an old deputy constable of Elmhburst. Hill con- gratulates McMzhon on the latter's con- version, and his letter is very suggestive | of the matter which is met with in the Salvation Army periodicals. Now it seems that Hill has discovered the source of all evils. He tells McMahon | that evil thoughts lead to murder and | other crimes and that if a man will keep his mind on the Savior there is no chaace for the devil 10 get in his deadly work. Referring to the devil, Hill says: “As I have just shortly been over the road which you are now starting on, I thought maybe a few words as to the ob- structions which your ‘old employer’ will | put in your way to try to discourage and | turn you back would be a help to you.! Now, we cau’t help thoughts going| through our minds; what we can do 1s not to stop them wvut just let them go right through.” C. R. Bennett, the ex-secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, has also received a letter written to ‘“‘the boys.”” Bennett is awalting the decision of the Supreme Court in his casg. Hill tells him that he has always been with them in spirit every Sunaay at the meet- ings, and says “The work at the County Jail is just as much on my heart now as when I was with you in prison. So you can be sure that if I cannot talk with you Iam praying for you.” Hill asked the | prisoner in his letter why he delays “‘boarding the salvation train when life | is so uncertan,’’ | The prisoners in the County Jail gath- ered around very attentively to hear the murderer’s good advice. The letters were very impressively read by ex-Secretary Bennett, and at the conclusion had a| marked effect on the audience. Jziler Lane expresses great surprise at the infla- ence Hill exercises over the hard cases be- bind the bars. REGULAR ARMY ITENS. A Board to Inspect the Bat- teries of San Francisco’s Harbor Defense.
