Congregational Club.

Rev. John kimball spoke to the Conere-
gational Club yesterday on the subject of
"Congregationalism, and in the discus
sion there were good many hard hits
dealt indirectly at the pastor of the First
Church. Mr.. Kimball urged the need of
Congregationalists leading lives that
should be bright and shining examples.
as the best means of increasing the
strength of the denomination. 1--WE must
show our right to live and thrive by living
Christian lives" he said. The Speaker
also urged the need of an advanced sem
mary and of Congregational House. as a
center for the coast.
In the discussion Rev Philip Coombe
uttered mild protest against the way in
which speakers at the club had fallen into
the habit of berating ministers in general
Rev. f. Flawith responded: ,"I do not see
why we ministers should not have to sub
NIT to clubbing if we deserve it. Min
listers should be held accountable for taeir
deeds as other people are"
Rev. DR.. Cruzan regretted the tendency
of some of the churches, especially the
First Church, to stand like a great eccIe-
siastical sponge and drink in everything
instead of giving out"
Deacon Strauss expressed himself yery
strongly on the subject of ministers beng
held responsible for their actions, both be.
fore civil and ecclesiastical courts. and
said that no shortcomings in ministers
should be condoned on sentimental
grounds.
Rev. Chaplain Rowell, in speaking OF
the decline of interest in the Congrega-
tional Monday Club, said it was largely
due to the trouble in the First Church.

Dogs OF Various Breeds and Pedigrees
That Have Been Entered.
Sportsmen are reminded that the entries
for the Pacific Kennel Clubs bench show
will close at IL o'clock this evening.
1t seems that the owners of dogs have
an idea that by waiting until the last hour
their entries will show up all the better.
However. the entries received up to last
evening speak we'll for the success of the
show, as at the last exhibition given bv
the club the number of dogs entered on the
day previous to the day of closing was less
than now.
A letter from Los Angeles states that
from twenty-five to thirty entries will be
received by the secretary to-day. There is
no doubt that at least 100 entries will ar
rive before the hour of closing
The greyhounds are very poorly repre-
sented, and this does not speak well for
San Francisco. which is a great citv for
coursing enthusiasts. 1t is hoped for the
interest and good will of coursing in the
West that the greyhound fanciers will re-
pair to the secretary's office to-day and
enter their charges.
Judge Mortimer is an excellent Judge of
greyhounds, and it is hoped that he will
be afforded an opportunity of passing
judgment on a number of those handsome
dogs.
Mr.. klttle has entered some griffons

more than $4,000. Mr.. Scott promised
that he would do all he could to help
along the project, but said nothing could
be done until after the tax levy in Oc-
tober.
S. M. How and A. Siever were admitted

the bicyclists' motto, "Repave Market
street." and explained that TWENTY-FIVE

bers to insert in their advertisements by
way of calling the attention OF the public
to the necessity for the improvement of
that highway. On his suggestion it was
decided to increase the number to 100.
Several bundles of cards bearing the
same legend were on exhibition. They
will be placed on bicycles, trucks and drays
for the same purpose.
The committee on prevention of theft
reported recommending that the owners
or stolen bicycles report the names, num-
oers and description of their machines to

Chairman Henney of the committee on
political action reported that the Super
vlsors had promised to give the board
patient hearing, and he suggested that
when the committee should visit the
Board OF Supervisors they should be
accompanied by large crowd of wheel
men.
A communication was received from
Justice OF the Peace Kerrigan offering his
assistance to the board in its efforts at
securing good roads.
a letter similar in tenor was received
from the Southside improvement Club;
also one from the secretary of the high
way improvement committee of the League
of American Wheelmen congratuIatfng
them upon the successful formation of the

ment, to be illustrated with views of good

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The effect of the appointment of
Hon. William A. Stiles, as Park
Commissioner, in New York city, is
gaining considerable in local interest.
1t is believed that it was at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Stiles, that one of the
new small parks has been named Kill
patrick Square, in honor of his old
friend, neighbor and schoolmate.
The various Fitzpatrick G AR. Posts
will now place a bronze statue of
the General in Fitzpatrick Square and
a movement to this effect has already
been set in motion. This is as it
should be. All credit to Mr.. Stiles
and the soldier friends of the Gener-
al.-Independent.
January A, 1896, a number of RATS
passed here. Old residents say this
is the first time in over twenty years
that this has been done. Some of
them were quite surrounded with
slush ice, and the men had cold
tlisagreeable time. One large log
raft stuck in Punkies, and was bro
ken up, part of it landed in Milford
eddy and the men came on with the
remainder of it expecting to stop
here, and pick it up, but the slush
crowded them out, and they could
not land until they reached Death
eddy where the raft now lies frozen
in the ice. 1t will be a great expense
to take it out, and unless they do
it will be a total loss. Truly the
poor lumbermen have hard times
and plenty of them.
The vile literature spread broad
cast over the country should warn

father and mother to see that their

a child has grown up in ignorance

watch the class of literature their
child was reading. If you give your
children only good literature to read
they will seldom ever change.-Ex-
