Ianq the term Congregational carries
no dogmatic meaning with it, and is ap-
plied lndlscriminately to all churches
whose pollty is congregational. whether
the theology is orthodox or unitarian.
one or the other of these terms in many
cases accompanies the term Congrega-
uonal to distinguish the theology of
particular church.
Historically, most of the older Unita-
ran churches of New England, while
congregational in polity, were originally
Orthodox IN theology; as, for instance,
the First Church in Boston, founded in
1851, the First Religious Society in Rox-
Dury, founded in 1851; the Second Church,
boston, l649; the First Parish of Concord,
Mass, 1886; the First Parish of Plymouth,
Mass, founded at Scrooby, Eng, in 1906,
transferred to Plymouth in 1920; the First
congregational Society of Salem, 1929, as
well as the Second Church. the North
Society and the Independent Congrega-
tlonal Church in Boston So, all of Salem.
80 with the First Congregational Society
OF New Bedford, founded in 1885, of
which Mr.. Potter has been the minister
for thirty-three years.
II, Tor example, the First Congrega-
tlonal Church Of Sacramento were to adj
vance its theology to that degree of lib
erty which would demand that its creed
should be voted out of existence, it would
FI1Ioo4ly 10 IN the same position tnat SO
many OF the older Congregational
churches of New England have come to
occupy. Naturally its fellowship would
then be with the avowedly Unitarian
churches of the Pacific Coast, and to be
ciassed with them would require the
simple acknowledgment that it had put
OIL the old theology and put on the new.
As Congregationalism was the child of
Purltanism in England, so Unitarianism
got its birth in New England Congrega-
tonallSm IN America. 7. j. HORNER.

POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
The Board lnstaIIs a Number Of
Special Policemen.
Improved Service for the Patrol Wagon
Chief Rodgers Saws 1t Costs
More Than Formerly.

special meeting of the Police Com
missioners was held at the Office of the
Chief of Police yesterday morning, full
board being present.
Mayor Steinman stated that the first
matter on hand was the consideration Of
the appointment of Water Inspector Z.
J. Clark and patrol wagon driver Robert
Goods as special officers.
Chief Rodgers suggested that the name
of Ed Radigan be added to the list, which
was accepted, and the trio duly elected as
such officers.
The Mayor called attention of the Chief
OF Police to the lack of police regulation
at the Plaza on the occasion of the even
ing concerts, and more particularly to the
careless manner in which vehicles were
handled by their drivers-some moving
to the right. some to the lett, some being
at standstill, and all in a state of great
confusion. Should a runaway occur
there, loss of life was almost certainty.
lie suggested that two officers in uni
form be detailed to be in attendance on
such occasions, and that they compel all
drivers to observe the rules of the road
keep to the right-and also that they exert
their terrifying influences on the too
on the grounds.
The Chief said he would give the matter
proper attention.
Chief Rodgers complained that Z. D.
Server, from whom the city hires the
horse for the patrol wagon, would not
hltch up the team after it had been once
put up without extra compensation.
Mayor Stelnman stated that the matter
had been fixed, and that the patrol would
be sent around at other hours than when
II was IN regular commission, upon re-
celpt OF telephone notice, and that he de-
sired the wagon to be in commission
from 10 or u o'clock in the morning to y
O'Clock at night.
The Chief called attention to the fact
tnat the new patrol was costing the city
eIOO per month, with only half service
while under the old regime it was in
service all the time at an expense not to
exceed $50 per month, and generally
much below.
The Mayor replied that there were
many lncldentals which came in during
that time which largely increased the
amount above that stated, and that the
present system was the most economical.
Inc city would in a short time have
horses of its own, and-he hoped-a
covered ambulance, when the service
could be made perfect.
The subject Of buying hanging har-
ness, such as Is used in the fire service,
was brought up, but it was deemed ad-
vlsabe to let the matter rest until such
time as the city shall have horses of its
own.
Chief Rodgers presented a pattern of
the shields which special officers will in
the future wear, which was adopted with
the understanding that each special
shall pay for his own.
In the matter of the claim Of B. F.
White for one days pay as police officer.
Mr., White claiming to have served
eleven, it was rejected. Judge Buckley
opposed such action until he could ex-
anime into the case and determine it's
merits.
The board then adjourned until next
regular meeting.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 100, so and 500 acres
The terms upon which these LANDS are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of fl We equal ar
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin.
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate Of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing. cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
BODY OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

dress VIM. H. MILLS,

Two PARDONS.
B. F. Bragg and John Burke Restored
to Freedom.
The Governors Reasons Therefor
Bragg's Error Was Committed
Through a Good Motive.

Pardons were issued from the Gov
ernor's office yesterday to B. F. Bragg,
who was convicted of forgery in Los An
geles County on June 3, 1892, and John
Burke who was adjudged guilty of lar
ceny in San Francisco on April 6, 1898,
and sentenced to the House of Correction
for the term ofthree years.
In the case of B. f. Bragg, the Governor
offers as reasons for his leniency that
Bragg was tried and convicted of forgery
for altering a record, with intent to de-
fraud one Sanchez, by inserting the name
OF Henry Vejar as a party to deed of
conveyance. At the trial of the criminal
charge Nejar testified that he had received
deed from Manuel Costa, and that he
had made deed transferring the same
real estate to Sanchez.
NeJar denied that he ever made deed
to Manuel Costa for the property.
On the 18th Of July last a trial of the
case OF Sanchez VS.. Bragg, to quiet title to
the same property was commenced. Dur
ing the progress of the trial, Henry Vejar,
the same witness who had sworn that he
had never made a deed of the land in
question to Manuel Costa, admitted under
oath that he did make such a deed.
At the time of the trial he sought to
avoid this by saying that he did not
understand the contents of the affidavit,
but John Roberts, reputable witness,
swore that he read it over to Costa in
Spanish and translated it to him; that he
understood it and said it was correct
Hon. Lucien Shaw, Judge of the Su-
perlor Court, says that he does mot
think Bragg would have been convicted
if this deed had been found and produced
at his trial for forgery. Indeed, he could
not have been guilty of one Of the chief
elements of the crime he was charged
withdrawing the record with intent to
detraud Sanchez, who was a grantee of
Nejar by a subsequent deed. Sanchez
could not be detrauded because he had no
title to the property, and should not have
claimed it.
Bragg's intention, therefore, instead of
being to defraud Sanchez, was really to
prevent Sanchez from defrauding Mrs.
Bragg. His intentions were praise
worthy and lawful, the only mistake be-
ing that he tried to carry it out by I'M
lawful means.
The Judge says he questioned Vejar
very closely and believes he testified
falsely. He thinks it was conspiracy
between Nejar and Sanchez to defraud
Mrs. Bragg, and in order to checkmate
them. if possible, Bragg had altered the
record.
For the above reason the Governor has
ordered the prisoner discharged and re-
turned to citizenship.
