Vicinity Demand Drain
age.
An Enthusiastic Meeting to Discuss
Matters of Vital Importance
to Property.0wners.

The residents of the extreme south
western portion of the City have inaugu-
rated an active campaign for sewer sys-
tenn in their district. at present there
are no sewers beyond Holly Park avenue
and in the rapidly improving district left
unpro7ided for there is growing demand
for drainage.
There was meeting of the residents of
the district held under the auspices of the
Holly Park Improvement Club at their
hall yesterday afternoon. H. @. Vein
holz, president of the club. acted as chair
man of the meeting.
After brief explanation by Mr.. Vein
holz of the object OF the meeting repre-
sentatives OF neighboring improvement
clubs were called upon for expressions.
James P. Tuohey of the Fairmount Club
voiced the desire of the organization
which he represented to work indus
triously toward the acquisition of sewer
system. He called attention to the danger
of sewer funds being used injudiciously
and dishonesty. "Whenever the Fair
mount Club sees anything of that kind
going on, he said, 1--WE will Immediately
call halt
Richard Richenbach of the Holly Park
improvement Club declared himself in

favor of a complete drainage system for
the district. He thought it could not be
put in operation too quickly, and he advo-
Gated going before the Supervisors with
petition at once.
Thomas O'Neil said that the City Engi-
neer was already working on plans for
sewer system, and if the Improvement
clubs would work together they would un-
doubtedly secure the system.
sOther gentlemen present expressed them
selves enthusiastically in the same strain.
Mr.. Kroutch moved that a petition be pre-
pared and signed by the secretaries of the
various improvement clubs interested re-
questing the Supervisors to provide for the
drainage system needed. The motion was
carried unanimously.
Frank Conkiing, Democratic candidate
for Supervisor from the Eighth Ward,
spoke of the necessity of united efforts on
the part of the improvement clubs. He
gave some practical advice in regard to
organization and advised the mem bers II
they saw fit to enter politics to see to it
that they indorsed such candidates as
would be true to their interests. In an
swer to question he spoke in favor of
beautifying Holly Park.
Representatives of the Precita Valley
and Nuevo Potrero clubs spoke of the re-
suits which they had attained by ''stick-
ing everlastingly to it." This sentiment
was approvingly commented upon by sew
eral speakers.
1t was decided to meet again at the
same hour next Sunday for further dis
cusSion.

A rally of all the Christian Endeavor So
cieties in Golden Gate Union will be held
Friday evening at San Rafael in the inter
est of the International Christian En-
deavor Convention, which will convene

NAL invitation to the executive committee
of Golden Gate Union asking that the
next rally be held a. San Rafael, in order
that new zeal might be infused into their
ranks and their mem bers stimulated to
greater effort in view of the approaching

gladly responned, and the rally was ar
ranged for.

rangements for a special boat for Friday

morning to the largest audience that has
assem- bled at Stiles Hall for many
months. His topic was 1.-THE Relation of
Woman to the Larger Work of the World. J"
Last Sunday he spoke on woman in her
domestic sphere, and next Sunday he will
speak more particularly on her enfran-
chisement.
In his address this morning DR.. Payne
said that the restrictions put on woman
were generally due to the attitude of men
on the subject. This is shown said he
in the first place when men claim exclu-
sive prerogative in the wider activities of
life. This is illustrated by Dombey in
Charles Dickens 'Dombey and Son. His
spirit was TO hold woman to her sphere.
There is another class of men who do
not begrudge woman her full share of
happiness in life, but think that her con-
tact with the world would wreck her fem
mime qualities.
Men have formed distressing mental
picture of the female reformer, egotistic
and exacting, and make the stand for the
expected new woman. Such woman is
a terror to them"
Dr.. Payne made an appeal to trust in
woman to find her own way, and to deter
mine her own part and deed. he held
that there should be no sex jealousy,
no suspicious guarding of prerogatives,
but mutual trust and yielding grace on
both sides and a perfect union OF purpose
and power to meet the common enemies
of life-hunger, ignorance and SIN.
In closing his address, he drew strik-
ing parallel between the sentiment ex-
pressed in the closing lines of Paradise
Lost" and what shall be the relative
standing of men and women of the pres
ent day.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
9O8 Broadway, Oct. IL.

908 Broadway, Oct. IL.
At last the Southern Pacific Company
has decided to place an elaborate system
of protection around Deaths Curve. For
nearly thirty years the swift Berkeley
locals and the overland trains have been
killing travellers on the road crossings at
Deaths Curve, but nothing has been done
to prevent fatalities till the present sys-
tenn was decided upon. Yesterday a
gang of men were working on the auto
matte gates and one-half of them are
already in place.
The system provides for four gates
where the trains cross the road leading
from the pier, four gates where the tracks
cross Bay street, four gates where they
cross little unnamed street and the same
number at Cedar street. In the little
triangular lot at the end of the pier a
tower has been erected, from which the
whole system will be worked. The oper-
ator can see the whole length of the curve
from his elevated position and his sole
business will be to look out for all passen-
ger and vehicle traffic as trains are ap-
proaching from either direction. The
gates will be worked by means of COM
pressed air.
Deaths Curve is one or the most d an
gerous localities on the Southern Pacific
system. 1t is the curve that is rounded
about every twenty minutes by the Berke-
ley local. ALI the way and overland trains
swing around it as they approach or leave
the pier, and all freight trains must go
over it. The great danger has always
been that on account of the curve no one
could see a train approaching until they
were right on the track.
Children have been killed frequently,
wagons have been demolished and their
occupants maneled, and foot-passengers
have been found dead by the track times
without number. The Morgue records for
the past two decades can alone show how
many graves have been filed through the
fatalities at the curve, but until this week
nothing has been done to prevent it.
The West Oakland Improvement Club
Is highly pleased at this latest piece
of work by the railroad company, but
greatly regrets that it was not undertaken
sooner. After the system is put in the
total cost of operating will be the monthly
salary. about $65, of the towerman.

OFFICERS IN THE PULPIT.
The Salvation Army Takes Possession
of the Third Congregational
Church.

OF the Anlru COngregatlonaI
Church.
Major Mcintyre and the staff officers
from the Salvation Army headquarters
occupied the pulpit of the Third Congre-
gational Church and conducted the even
ing service there yesterday.
This innovation was, however, on the
invitation of the Rev. William RAIDER,
who, being i'll ana confined to his home,
granted the army ths use of his church for
indoor worship.
Major Mcintyre, his wife and six OF the
staff occupied the seats on the platform
allotted to the ministers during service.
The service last night was conducted by
Major Mcintyre, and was similar to that
followed by the army in their street devo-
tions.
Each convert in turn told the congrega-
ton how he had received the light of
Christianity, and the happiness which it
brought.
Captain Mcintyre, the wife of the major,
read list of statistics showing the work
done by the army on this coast, and also
all over the globe.
The system under which the army con-
ducts its various homes were thoroughly
explained for the benefit of the con-
gregation.
The singing of hymns and prayer closed
the meeting.

Rev. DR.. Payne Delivers His Second
Sermon on Suffrage-Inter.
esting News.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 18.-Rev. Ed
ward B. Payne, pastor of the Unitarian
Society, has written a communication to
Professor Thomas r. Bacon, chairman Of
the Stiles Hall board of trustees. asking
that the signboard OF the Unitarian Soci-
ETY. be replaced ON the front OF the hall.
As stated in a recent issue of THE CALL,
the Unitarians, upon renting portion of
the building year and half ago, tackled
up neatly designed placard on one of the
pillars of the building calling attention to
the fact that services of the Unitarians
were conducted within. A request came
from some of the authorities in charge of
the hall asking for its removal, because
some criticisms had been advanced against
allowing the unorthodox Unitarians to
occupy a portion of the university stu
dents building.
The sign was removed and nothing was
said about the matter until few days ago
when the Christian Bible Seminary tackled
up its shingle. 1t has remained there
unm olested while the sign of the Unita-
empty boxes. This unjust discrimination,
as DR.. Payne calls 1t, has aroused an end
less amount of talk among Berkeley peo-
pie. And so DR.. Payne has written to the
trustees asking that the sign of his church
be replaced. The church mem bers are in
considerable suspense over the matter, as
the letter was sent several days ago. and
no answer had been received up till to-
