REV MIR wHITTLEsEY AT THE COEGREGA-
 TI0NAL CHURCH

Rev Nathan H. Whittlesey of New Ha- ven is secretary of the National Council of Congregational churches on Minister ial Relief. He devotcs his entire time to placing this work before the churches. It is a new work, having been set on a firm basis only since 1886. It is a neces- sary work, as, without it, many who have done long and faithful service for the church would be left to know the bitter ness of keenest poverty in their old age. Mr Whittlesey will speak at the CoDgre- gatioDal church here both morning and evening, next Sunday, August 30, and all are invited to hear him. It is not dull story that he tells, but he invests it with all the interest of romance. A collection is taken at the evening service for this work.

SOUTHERN HEIGHTS ALERT
Several Matters to Be Brought
Up at the Next
Meeting.
A Com mittee to Ask Mr.. Vining tc
Give Transfers From Sixteenth
to Kentucky Street.

The Southern Heights improvement
Club will hold meeting at Raymond
Hall, on Twentieth formerly Napa) street
between Arkansas and Wisconsin, to-mor
row evening.
One of the subjects that will be brought
up is the necessity of having sidewalks
laid on Eighteenth street, from Kentucky
up to Mississippi, distance of six blocks.
Since the street railroad tracks have been
laid on Eighteenth street that thorough.
fare has been paved along the line OF the
railroad and all that is now needed tc
make this street the best thoroughfare in
the Southern Heights district is to have
good substantial sidewalks laid. The club
will circulate a petition for signatures and
present the same to the Board of SuperYi-
sors.
Another matter of great importance to
this district is the question of transfers.
Lately the Sixteenth street branch of the
Market-street Railway Company has been
put in operation along Solano street to
Kentucky street, but the transfer arrange
ments do not give the residents of this por-
ton OF the City a satisfactory car service.
Transfers are issued from the eastbound
Solano streetcars at Kentucky street south.
but not nerthward to the center of the City'
From the westbound cars transfers are is
sued in both directions at Bryant avenue
and Sixteenth street, and at Sixteenth and
Harrison, where the line is broken by the
steam railroad, transfers are issued to the
continuation along Sixteenth and Church
streets. The Southern Heights residents
are by this means enabled to come to the
main portion of the City for one fare. but
the route is SO long and inconvenient that
1t IS not popular. The club will discuss
the advisabillty OF appointing.a a commits
tee to walt on Mr.. Vining and request that
he issue transfers from the eastbound So
lano streetcars to the Kentucky street
northbound cars.
That section of the City has shown a
great deal of improvement in anticipation
of the running of the electric cars. and
some of the landlords report an increased
demand for houses, and say they are en-
abled to get better rents. There are many
improvements contemplated this wear.
both in the building of houses and in the
improvement of streets.
An innovation is TO be made by Mr..
Vining next Sunday in the after of street
transit which will give the people of the
Potrero and Southern Heights chance TO
ride from Sixteenth and Harrison streets
direct to Golden Gate Park. What Mr..
Vining proposes to do, he says, is to run
the Fillmore-street car out Oak street on
Sundays to the park instead of continuing
out Fillmore street to Broadway as in the
past. His explanation is that there is more
travel on Sundays to and from the mark
than north and south. There will be ca
on Fillmore street running from PAGE
street through TO Bay, however, to accom-.
modate north and south bound travel.
