At the last meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce the membership committee was increased to forty, and systematic work has been begun_to secure new members. The chairman of the membership com- mittee has been authorized by the of- ficers of the Chamber of Commerce to appoint a salaried secretary to handle the correspondence of the committee. His office will be temporarily located in that of the Oakland Paving Company, in the Central Bank bullding. Postal cards will be sent to each mem- ber of the varlous Improvement clubs and fraternal organizations of the city and to all property ‘owners ‘requesting them to become members of the new organization. Members of the committee will attend the societies, and it is expected that by the | time the Chamber of Commerce has se- cured permanent headquarters its mem- bership will be close to 2000. Th& next meeting of the committee will be held at the rooms of the Athenian Club on Friday, December 1. RAIN CAUSES LULL. The unpleasant weather of the last week has caused a lull in the operations of the local real estate market, but this has caused no complaint among real estate dealers, who, in common with every one else, gave hearty welcome to the much- needed rain. In spite of the inactivity of the market there has been a considerable amount of small business, but large in- vestors seem inclined to wait for good weather before examining property. Business during the month of Novem- ber has been much better than was ex- pected, having been slightly better than that of the corresponding month last vear, which was a record-breaker for this city, Real estate dealers are well satisfied with the condition of the market and are confident that the winter business will exceed that of any previous year. George W. Austin reports the condition of the market as better than ever expect- ed for the month of November. He has just taken up a tract of land on Apgar, West and Grove streets and has sold seven of the lots in the last few days to parties who are all building homes there- on. The many new electric ilnes buflding and proposed make the market good in the territory contiguous to Ssuch lines. Many San Francisco people are buying homes in Oakland, and are induced to do so by the excellent Key Route service and improved Southern Pacific = service and the promise of ten-minute service on the Key Route line. Mr. Austin has put on the market the Cordes tract, extending from Ban Pablo avenue to Market street at Twenty-fifth and located right at the place where the second station of the new Key Route ser- vice will be. There has been an excep- tional demand for this property and it sells rapidly. Several houses will be buiit immediately. Mr. Austin has closed a great many miscellaneous sales during the month of November. OPEN NEW OFFICES. ! The Frank H. Johnson Investment Com- pany of San Francisco has just opened a branch office in this city at 8 Telegraph avenue and 1305 Broadway. It will make a specialty of the handling of residence property in the Piedmont district. The Home Real Estate Company has just moved from the Union Savings Bank building to its new offices at 464 Eleventh street. This company has recently se- cured control of a number of tracts of choi¢e residence property, which will at once be subdivided and placed on the market. R. R. Patterson of Berkeley has also changed his quarters. He is now located in the new building on Shattuck avenue | opposite the First National Bank. He has |a large list of Oakland and Berkeley properties. Macdermott & Bachelder of Berkeley have just taken possession of their new offices at 2145 Center street. The change of quarters was made because of lack of room in their former location. i FREEMAN'S COURSERS DLVIDE THE HONORS Belle Marie and Terra Cotta ' Take First and Second Places. « J. E.

M. Pond and Wife Sermon Gives His Views' Narrowly Escape Death in President Wheeler ~ An- nounces Purchase by Re- gents of Bancroft Collection EXPERT GIVES OPINION Professor Reuben Thwaites Passes Upon the Va.lug of the Acquisition in Report BERKELEY, Nov. 26.—Announce- ment of the purchase by the University min Ide Wheeler this afternoon. Bancrott estimated his collection to be I worth in 1887 about $250,000. His price i to the university regents was technical- !ly kept at that figure, but Bancroft donated $100,000 ot tms amount, so that the university is to pay him $150,000. _ The last details of the transaction were arrangeu yesterday afternoon in San ¥rancisco, after the regents had received a report on the value and ex- tent of the collection from Professor Reuben Gold Thwaltes of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin. Professor Thwaites j has spent a number of weeks examin ing the collection. 3 Protessor Wheeler’'s announcement of the purchase of the library for the uni- versity, made this afternoon, includes the following: Professor Thwaites estimated that the, Ban- crott colléction was worth . $300,000, without Including valuable portions of the library on whicn_nb did not attempt to put an estimate. Dr. Thwaites gives it as his expert opinion that some portions of tue collection are price- less, notabiy the hundreds of narratives dic- tated by pioneers, some of these narratives covering huudreds of foolscap pages. He esti- mates that the Library or Congress would of- fer tor tnis part of the Banoroft library, in- cluding also about 1400 voumes of manuseript relatng to tne eariy history of the Pacific Coast, $80,000. The entire collection embraces more th 50,000 volumes. Of historical manuscripts there are not less than 125,000. There are pa- pal bulls, royal edicts and ufficlal papers of Breat variely. Material abounds for a history of the Spanish missions. The collection In- cludes tne original records of some of the mis- sions, tnese being approximately compiete, plemented by a vast mass of ecclesiastical m: terial and many original presidio records. In the library is much manuscript material upon Spanish governmental and commercial a: tairs {n North and Central Americas, and rela. tive also to the later Mexican regime. There are consular papers, originals and transcripts of dlaries of early American trappars, traders, overland ploneers, gold hunters, et@ with log- Looks of early trading crart, all valuable pa- pers bearing upon every phase of lire In the Rockies and on the coast. Prominent in this fleld are the remarkable collections of M. G. Vailejo (50 folio volumes), J. B. Alvarado, Thomas C. Larkin, A. M. Oslo, Juan Bandini, A. F. Coronel, Pio Pico, Manuel Castro, I. M. Amador, Benjamin Hayes and many others. Collections of records of ¢arly voyages, Span- ish and American governmental publications, Mexican officials and historical sets, mps, at- ases, cosmographies, are numerous in the col- lection, All the geographies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are included, with 1200 loose maps relating to the Pacific Coast regions and the Gulf of Mexico. ‘The library includes 3000 volumes of newspaper files, with many important sets of periodical literature. President Wheelel id concerning the purchase: . The purchase of the Bancroft Library marks A& great day In the history of the university. It means the increase of the university library at one stroke by one-third its present extent in number of volumes; it means the inevitable establishment at Berkeley of the center for fu- ture research in the history of Western Ameri- ca; it means the creation of a school -of his torical study at the University of California; it means the emergence of the real university of study and research out of the midst of the colleges of élementary teaching and training; | for the State of California it means rescue from the threatened danger of having the funda- mental and unreplacable devcaments of its earliest history carried spoils outside 'its boundaries. For the present the collection will be housed on the third floor of Callifornia Hall, a verily fireproct buliding now approaching compietion, or If the space there should on more careful inspection and measurement prove insufficient for the storage of the books and their proper use, it will be placed in the rooms designed for library purposes in the new Hearst mining bullding.

B! ES ABOUT THE BAY SAYS SHADOWS [AUTO AND CAR OVER LAND on Some Vital Matters SUNLIGHT IS COMING All Depends Upon Citizens Doing Their Duty by Their Country and by Their God T gt Thanksgiving sermons were preached in some of the city churches yesterday, and in numerous instances the choirs rendered special music. ! At Trinity Presbyterian Church there was a most beautiful Thanksgiving praise service, and at Calvary Presbyterian Church the singing was extremely fine. The musie service at Trinity Church, Gough and Bush streets, under the direc- tion of Louis H. Eaton, was grandly ren- dered, as was that at Grace Church, Cal- 1 ifornia street, under the direction of Or- sanist W. H. Holt. Notable among the sermons was the one delivered by the Rev. Edwin H. Had- lock, Ph. D., pastor of the English Luth- i eran Church, Geary street, near Gough. Dr. Hadlock chose for his subject “Amer- fca, Her Shadows and Sunlight.” After speaking of the divine guidance in the development of the nation Dr. Had- lock said that all nations have repre- sented some great ideas. He continued: To the United States It was given to repre- sent freedom and faith. Our Goddess of Lib- erty should not only raise the touch of free- dom at the Eastern gateway, but also the crosé which makes man free. This nation has been given a grand religious mission and for this purpose the creator has meeted out to the American people the greatest national inherit— ance ever given to man. Wiile all this is a fact, the nation has not only great possibilities, but also great dangers. SHADOWS ARE FOREBODING. The shadows which iie upon the land are in places dark and foreboding. The first shadow is worldly luxury. The more repulsive vices are being fought, while the so-called ‘‘respect- able sins” are eating the nation at the core. Men make money easily and spend it care- lessly, or hoard it as misers, making two classes that are both enemies of the social weal—namely, the spendthrift and prodigal. the miser and monopolist. The lack of on the land. To every tongue and shade of face the nation's door s opemed. Of that raw material citizens are speedily manufactured and too often a sorry grist of criminals comes from the overflowing mill. ‘We should welcome the seekers of freedom or faith, and the Stars and Stripes should pro- tect every one who takes upon himself the sa- cred title of an American- citizen, if he is ap- orectative and sincy R Another shadow is the spirit of caste. War exists between the head and the hand: the classes and the masses, and the nation | must learn, socmer or later. that the condi- | tion of the’ common people is the condition of the commenwealth. Society is a pyramid which narrows to the apex, but If there is disintegration at the base the top must fall. DUTY TO COUNTRY AND GOD.

An excellent musical programme took up al- most the entire evening, the pastor, Rev. George C. Adams, D.D., delivering only a short sermon in order to allow more time for the song services. Dr. Adams, taking as his subject, “Re- jolce in the Lord Always,” spoke of the wonderful power of St. Paul, who, al- though a prisoner, chained to a Roman soldier ana a constant sufferer, was ever rejoicing in the Lord. Every one, the pastor states, no matter how great their affliction, should rejoice in the Lord al- ways. | Frank, soprano;,Mrs. M. E. B. Robinson, many beautiful church songs.

A Thanksgiving praise service was held in the Fourth Congregational Church, Green street, near Stockton, last evening. The cholr, uhder the Teadership of John Schultien, was the main feature of the programme and rendered many beautiful church songs. Rev. Dr. Hartley ad- dressed the congregation. Richard Lucchesi’'s “Massa Brevis” was sung at St. Domini¢’'s Church yésterday, under the direction of Dr. H. J. Stewart, the organist. An *“Ave Maria” by Lue- chesi was also sung by Mrs. R. Apple. R g s CONSECRATION OF FONT, Fatas Bishop of California Officiates at Mem- orial Ceremony. The Bishop of California, the Right Rev. William Ford Nichels, D. D., of- ficlated yesterday morning at the con- secration of u_beautiful baptismal font placed in St. Paul's Church, California street, near Fillmore, by Willlam Mac- Kay and Mrs. L. R. Katz in memory of the late Mrs. Emma Medau MacKay, who up until the time of her death was a devout .communicant of St Paul's. Bishop Nichols began by referring to the customs of the old countries, where as®ociations were linked to those who had passed away, by tender and loving i tributes in the form of memorials which were to be found in the cathe- drals and parish churches. The Bishop spoke of the faithfulness of the late Mrs. MacKay as a communicant and as a teacher in the Sunday-school and also as a member of St. Paul's Church choir. s He said that the revered lady's as- sociates would be reminded of her life and character when they looked upon the font, which had been erected by her husband and sister as a memorial. The erection of monuments in the cemeteries, said the Bishop, were of go possible service, but that font was necessary in the administration of one ‘of the two sacraments which Christ himself ordained. Bishop com- plimented St. Paul's for a good jexample in the memorials which were being bullt around the church edifice— ‘memorials to loved ones who had de- parted this life. The tismal font is a beautiful iwork of ‘Sculptor’s art. i 1 ] onyx pillars, and is mnm a ¢rown and cross in bronze.

That Dr. and Mrs. Pond emerged from the smashup without seri- ous injury is considered remarkable by them and by all who witnessed the col- Hsion, which occurred on Telegraph ave- nue, near Fifteenth street, in Oakland. When the car and the auto came to- gether both were moving in the same direction, south. The gasoline vehicle was in the lead and running on smooth pavement that had been made wet and slippery by a shower. Dr. Pond was at the tiller and while he was endeavor- ing to steer the automobile so as to give the oncoming car a wide right of way the wheels of the gasoline machine skidded and swung the auto directly upon the track and in front of the electric car The auto was jammed along before the electric car was brought to a stop. When Dr. and Mrs. Pond were assisted from the auto they were unhurt. —_———————— ATTORNEY SHOOTS HIMSELF.
