A NEW COLLEGE SUGGESTED.

The mornings session of the Presby-
terian synod began yesterday with devo-
tions led by Elder D. E. Collins of Oak
land, after which the report of the
committee on bills and overtures was
read by Rev. Mr.. Stevenson. A request
OF one overture was that the presbytery of
Santa Barbara, including that of Ventura,
be inaugurated, to hold the first meeting
Decem Der 1, 1896.
Rev. Arthur Crosby suggested that it
would be good thing for the young
people of the denomination to establish a
college department under Presby yterian in
fuence. At the close of his speech in
support of this idea he offered the follow
ing:
Resolred, That board of visitors be ap-
pointed by the moderator. composed of an
elder and pastor from each presby terry; that it
shall be their duty to visit the Tamalpais Aca-
TO this synod on the advisabiiity OF founding a
college department in connection with the
academy.
In making the motion to adopt this
resolution, DR.. Noble said it was impos-
sible TO do too much in encouragement Of
such all act, as young m n at the univer-
sites do not there acquire The idea of en-
tering the ministry, and il was necessary
that they should have the rellgious train
ing as preliminary.
After some discussion INDUCED in by
President J. W. Parkhill of Occidental
College, DR.. H. G. Minton of San Rafael and
Rev. Messrs. Ellis and Reynolds, Dr. Cros-
by's resolution was adopted unanimously
The treasurer's report was adopted as
read.
DR.. Minton, as chairman, then read the
report of the committee on foreign mis-
sions. The following recommendations
were made: That the work OF the Occi-
dental Board of Missions and that of the
Chinese and japanese missions here be
commended; that in view of the impend-

ings of such concern will undoubtedly
prove of interest to all those interested in
what may prove a medium through which
their savings can be invested to yield the
largest returns consistent with absolute
safety. The association in question, which
has done more during the past decade
than any other concern of its sort to ad-
vance the interest of persons in medium
circumstances or those depending upon
limited income to buy a home, is the
well-known Continental Building and
Loan Association of San Francisco.

Association.

The borrowing of money from a build
ing and loan association for the purpose
OF building home cannot be considered
as going into debt. Without a home a
man is forced in debt for his rent. With
home the money he pays out to the as
sociation pays for his property.
1t is the purpose of the Continental
Building and Loan Association to help
those in medium circumstances or those
depending upon limited income to ac-
quire such home or to accumulate
earnings by providing sort of compul-
sorry savings system which enables him
10 pay in installments the price of his
house. How well this mission has been
carried out the following statement of the
affairs OF this prosperous association go to
show:
In the year 1895 the assets of this COM
pany were valued at $185, 400 %. Last
year saw this total increased 10 1924, ,522 or
At the same time the profit and reserve
funo had sprung from $26, ,657 26 to SAL
231 81, and the value of the paid-up stock
from $31, 900 TO $4,000. Significant of
prosperity as these figures are other 6g-
cures bearing even more directly upon the
business done afford yet stronger proof.
Thus it is shown that the amount loaned
during he fiscal year which ended in 1895
was $73, 432, while the corresponding
amount for the present year is Sal, 800.
The appraised value of the associations s
land and Improvements securing last
years loans was $168, 20U; securing this
years loans is 1858, 1854 The insurance
covering the associations loans in 1895
was $82,075; in 1896, $158, ,405. The num-

When the operations of any business or
ganization go far toward doubling in a
single year, and that during period of
acknowledged dullness and hard times, it
surely proves quite conclusively that the
concern is growing in the confidence of
the public.
The Continental Building aud Loan
Association is an incorporated society
under the laws of California and its
ofhcers are composed of such well-known
and substantial business men as Ed E..
Hill, president; Captain Oliver Eldridge
vice. president; and William Corbin its
secretary and general manager. The
growth of this association has been phe-
nomenal and its success is directly due to
the fact that 1T has at its head men of ex-
perience in building and loan affairs, the
promptness ana dispatch of all the busi-
ness matters and the courtesy extended to
all Its patrons. The home offices are

and though they did everything possible
for him Ii was soon evident that the end

NEW ORATORICAL STAR.
Charlton T. lewis Springs Into tho Front
Rank ~ a Speaker.

The indianapolis convention has brought
into the arena Of national politics new
oratorlcal star In the person of Charlton L.
Lewis of New Jersey and New York. Mr..
Lewis lives at Morristown, n. j., and Is q
member Of the New York bar. Nobody
ever heard of him in politics before the
New Jersey state convention this year, but
he made speech at indianapolis which,
for sound argument that melted to en-
thusiasm, was the most successful of any
of tho speeches heard at the big mass meet
ing.
During the last part Of this speech the
audience, which had before been cheering
enthusiastically, became silent. For ten
minutes there was complete silence. At
the conclusion of the speech there was just
an instant of quiet, and then as one man
tho crowd on the floor and galleries rose
and cheered and yelled enthusiastically
Flags were waved and hats and coats were
thrown in tho air. The demonstration
lasted several minutes, and at the end
there was cheer after cheer FOR Mr.. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis is about 90 years old, Of quiet,
retiring disposition, and highly educated.
He has given moro time To literary pur-
suits than TO tho practice of the law. Ev-
cry body in Indianapolis had something TO
say about him, and a hundred times the
question was asked, "Who is Lewis any
wayp" AS said before, he never was heard
of in politics until the Democratic state
convention at Trenton.
DIR. Leonard j. Gordon, one of the New
Jersey delegation, said that 1t was ut that
convention that Mr.. Lewis made his first
bow. The work, he said, had been nearly
finished when away down in the middle of
the hall man arose whom nobody know
and said, "Mr. Chairman" Strangely
enough he got tho chairman's attention
and was recognized at once. Then he
made speech lasting half an hour which
swept tho convention off its feet DR.
Gordon said it was ono of the most won
derful speeches nc had heard, and there
was not any time lost in finding ont who
the man was and in putting him on tho
list Of delegates 20 this convention. Mem
bers of the Jersey delegation who were
talked with said there was fine future in
politics In the state II Mr.. Lewis could 10
induced to enter It, which Is not very like
ly He attended tho convention as n mat
ter Of patriotism, and not with any idea of
securing political prcfcrmcnt Now York

PIERCE DEAD.
A Noted Providence Character
Passes Away.


DE Nathaniel N. Pierce is no more. He
passed away at the home OF Mrs. Jane
Struthers, 1 Fenner's lane, at o'clock
last evening. The doctor was something
OF a character, and was well known here
abouts. He was short, stout and almost
as broad as hew as long. he wore "Hor-
ace Greeiy "whiskers and his left leg was
gone at the neck. He had q wooden leg
and wore crutches. He Invariably wore
suspended from his knee. A hand
bag which was always open caught small
amounts Of money tossed by the old
mans sympathizers. He was by no
means beggar, but was one of the
most persistent book agents known to
local sufferers, and he sold only his own
works. His leading subject was "Treat-
ment by Hot Water" and 1t was this
that gave him the title of doctor. He
was also "mind reader" and, in his
own mind, was one Of the best. He was
q native of Putnam, Conn.
