DIVINITY SCHOOL ASSURED. A Unitarian divinity school for the| Pacific States, Mr. Stone sald, is at last | assured. The Rev. Earl Wilbur of| Meadville, Pa., has accepted the posi- | | tion of dean and will begin the work of organization June 1. The divinity school will be domiciled | | in the building of the Oakland Unita- | rian Church. | The money for this project has been | provided, said the speaker, by Mr. and { Mre. Francis Cutting of Oakland and | | the Hon. and Mrs. Horace Davis of San Francisco. | “Progress in Washington and Ore- gon, with a Study of Opportunities,” was the subject treated by the Rev. William G. Eliot Jr. The Rev. F. L. Hosmer of Berkeley, one of the prominent hymn writers of ' the Unitarian fellowship, opened the | afternoon session with an address on | Channing’s “Baltimore Sermon.” | | blem r prol unded in individus gress of the lmunan Church | s, With a Study of | wae the subject of an | the Re George W. secretary for the Pacific n the Pacific States, ADVIRTISmI\ Ts. The sermon was delivered in 1819 at the ordination of Jared Sparks to the minlstry of the Unitarian Church in Baltimore, and in it, for the first time, the beliefs of Unitarians as to the na- ture of God, the humanity of Jesus and | the dignity of human nature were first | clearly distinguished from the beliefs of orthodox Christians. This Channing sermon, said the Rev. Mr. Hosmer, is one of three epoch- marking sermons in the history of the Jnitarian movement in America, the | two others being Emerson’s "Dlvlnlty' School"Address,” delivered in 1838, and Theodore Parker's sermon entitled “The Trunslen! and the Permanent in Christianity.” The Sunday-school Conference was addressed by Mrs. C. E. Grunsky, the Rev. Bradford Leavitt and Miss Van Orden. In the evening addresses were de- livered before the conference at the First Unitarian Church by Rev. George ‘W. Stone, Rev. J. A. Cruzan, who spoke of “The Islands”; Horace Davis, whose subject was “Japan,” and Presi- dent David Starr Jordan, who gaye an interesting discourse on Oriental char- acteristics. There will be an all day and an evening session. ——— According to figures recently com- piled by the Express-Gazette, thirteen trains were “held up” during 1903, com- pared with twenty-two in 1903.

Paul Franke, who conducted Jith his wife a small branch bakery at 3420 Mission street, ended his life last Tuesday night by swallowing carbolic acid. His dead body was found yesterday morning lying in the Hayes-street entrance of Golden Gate Park by Alexander Gold- sack, a conductor on the Hayes-street car line. By the dead man’s side lay a bottle which contained carbolic acid, and a collapsible alluminum cup, from which Franke had drunk the poison. Franke had an imaginary grievance against Mrs. Stanton, who conducted a competing bakery across the street from his store at No. 3419 Mission A short time ago she com- the police that he had| threatened to burn Mrs. Stanton’s bakery, and a police detective had an int iew with Franke with regard to { the matter, Franke’s wife informed Deputy Coroner McCormick that her husband had brooded considerably ofi the sub- ject, that he had been acting strangely recer and that he left home at 9 o(luck Tuesday morning without inferming her as to his destin- ation. On the a small person of th suicide was viewing and asking his wife to pay J. D. Leader | of Los Angeles $10, which Franke had borrowed. Franke was a member of San Fran- cisco Camp, Woodmen of the World, a native of Germany, and 42 years of age. —_—————————— ‘Wants Presidents Jailed. In view of the testimony of Fong Ling at the trial of Nguen ‘Lun, charged with the murder of Tom Yick of the Chinese Educational Society on | May 8, 1903, that rewards were offered for the slaying of members of that so- ciety, a motion was made before Judge | Lawlor yesterday that the seven pres- who are also charged with the murder and are out on bonds, be ordered into custody.

Edward Ernest Hayman, “Doc” Hayman, was arrested yester- day by Detective Whitaker and booked at the y Prison on a felony charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. It is alleged that on May § he passed a worthless check for 355 on Daniel J. Cullen, a saloon-keeper. Last year Hayman was mixed up in a scandal with another man and two pretty live- ly women. Later Hayman was arrested for pass- ing a worthless check for $20, but paid it and there was no prosecution. —_—— Steal Contents of Tin Box. The police were notifled that during the night the premises of the Sierra Photo Engraving Company on the top floor of 324 Grant avenue had been entered and a tin box forced open. It contained checks for $5 and $20 and | 20 cents coin, which were stolen. En- trance had been effected by means of | the elevator, which is kept running all night for the benefit of the members of the Crescent Club. Detective Tay- lor has been detailed on the case.

The warm weather of several weeks ago, while it did a | great deal of harm, has been in a measure overcome by the fine growing | rweather of the last three weeks. In the southern part of the county, around San Miguel, S8an Lucas, Brad- | ley and San Ardo, the indications are for a good year. Although in that sec- | tion the rainfall has not been up to the ' average, all reports are that the grain is rapidly heading and propects are good. In the hills of the southern part | of the county the cattle and sheep men tell of plenty of feed. The region around Soledad and King | City will not give average crops this | year. The rainfall has been below the | average and the hot weather of April, | combined with the horth winds, has | | hurt the prospects badly. In the Lock- | wood and Jolon country the prospects | | are fine for a large grain crop. In the northern part of Monterey | County the crops will be up to the av- | erage, although the rainfall has been | | but ten inches for the season, compared with twelve of last year. There will not be as large a beet acreage as usual, | but much more acreage of potatoes and | grain. From Gonzales and Chaular up | the valley the prospects are fine for a good year and with fair prices for farm products Monterey County will gen- | erally enjoy prosperity. | SOLEDAD, May 18.—Short crops is the result of the climatic conditions affecting the immediate vicinity of this place. The cause cannot be removed, as it is impossible to change the phys- iography of this part of Monterey County, bearing as it does the stamp of nature. A gradual change has tak-, en place on the west side of the Sa- linas River since 1895, when the first pumping plant was erected on the {lands of the ex-mission of Soledad | (1710 acres). At present the Salva- tion Army colony’s 520 acres; Spreek- els ranch No. 2, 1176 acres, and lands 'belunging to other parties are mostly | under irrigation. Last year's products | from the above lands, in addition to alfalfa raised for dairy purposes, were approximately 2000 boxes of decid- uous fruits, 7500 tons of sugar beets, 22,510 bags of Burbank potatoes and |a few hundred bags of beans. There | will be this season an increase in the | | potato ecrqp of from 2000 to 5000 | bags. The wonderful contrast pre- | sented between the aspect and produc- tiveness of the irrigated and unirri- | gated land is marked. On the east| |side of the Salinas River there are | | dry and short crops, but the west side is productive, TS FARMERS OF KINGS COUNTY DELIGHTED OVER THE OUTLOOK HANFORD, May 18.—The present conditions and outlook for the agri- cultural crops for this year in this | county are at present very flattering. The late frost of last month did very little damage to the fruit, although some of the grapes were slightly nipped, but in many places the apricot crop is said to be over twice as heavy as it was last year and the crop of | peaches also gives promise of bemg| fine, perhaps not much more in quan- tity than last year, but better in qual- ity. , The management of the Lucer ne | \Ineyard stated that one of the hail- | | damage to the grape crop there, but this storm only struck a strip of | country and elsewhere no damage was | done. The prune crop varies in dif- | ferent parts of the county, but it is| generally very good, while last year this class of fruit did not produce much here. Some damage was also done the | prunes by the hail. | As to the hay crop everything looks | flattering, the first cutting having been | taken care of to a great extent, and | in many cases the alfalfa is again al- | most ready to cut. In the line of grain there is a splen- did story to tell. The Tulare Lake bottom has literally been transformed into a wheat field this year, there hav- ing been about 30,000 acres of wheat and barley sown, and it is said that it is looking fine and gives promise of yielding even greater production than last year. Last season there were hun- dreds of acres of the grain in that section of country that yielded over twenty-five sacks per acre and some | |went as high as thirty-five sacks. ' There is some report that smut has | got into the grain, but there is noth- | ing authentic as to what extent. e AU 2R CEREALS WILL GIVE 4N AVERAGE YIELD IN MERCED COUNTY MERCED, May 18.—The indications are that Merced County will have about the same grain crop, in the ag- gregate, as last year, when there was a fair yield. Wheat may be a little less, barley doubtiess more and rye very short. The acreage and yield of | the latter cereal (once anm important crop in this county) diminishes every year. Recent hot weather has made the prospects less bright than they were | three weeks ago. | On the west side the rainfall has been light and grain is short, but aifalfa | growing, under irrigation, and dairying is mow the leading industry in that ,secuon. The hay crop, aside from al- \fz\lfn is light. Reports in regard to fruit are somewhat conflicting. —_—— Take your meals regularly. Take your west regularly.
