CAL VARY WILL
MOVE YVES TWARDl
The Corporation Empowers
the Trustees to Go
Ahead.
They Have Decided on North.
west Corner of Fillmore
and Jackson.
A Blanket Mortgage Will Be Put On
the Old Powell.Street
Site.

Calvary Presbyterian Church will To-
cate on the northwest corner OF Fillmore
and Jackson streets. This change was
fin ally decided on at a meeting of the
church membe last night.
At the conclusion OF the evening ex-
ercise the Rev. DR.. John HemphilI briefly
to be purchased for the church. At a
previous meeting of the congregation it
was decided to purchase 100 feet fronting
on Jackson street and SO feet Az inches
on Fillmore, belonging to the estate OF
the late Emeline Wallace, at $33, 900, sub
ject however, to a mortgage of S2S.000,
also 25x1z5:415 on the line of Jackson
street from Ida V. Butler for $500.
The question before the meeting last
night and the one that caused considera-
bic discussion was the purchase of 27x1Oo
feet on the north line OF Fillmore, adioin-
ing the Wallace property and owned by
M. }. Cameron, for $4,000, which would
give for the new church a site 125 feet
square.
On this latter lot there are two tenement
dwellings, paying q good rental. Besides
there are buildings on all OF the property,
the rental OF which will pay the interest
on the mortgage. but it will take from
$1,000 to $500 to make necessary repairs
on the houses in order to make them hab-
liable.
There was some discussion on the meth
cd OF securing the twenty-seven feet on
Fillmore street and how to raise the
money to pay for it and to provide for the
floating debt of the present church. Some
of the members were adverse to taking a
mortgage on the property on Powell and
Geary streets. while others thought that
the elders could give their individual
notes for the amount necessary Tor this
proposition.
DR.. Hemphill and Thomas Magee vol
unteered to become responsible, but this
did not seem to be the way out. Then
nnally DR.. Hemphill offered motion, as
a substitute for the whole, that the con-
gregation authorize the board of trustees
and the elders OF the church to use their
best judgment in providing sufficient
money with which the twenty-seven feet
on Fillmore street is to be purchased and
also to lift the mortgage off the Wallace
estate by placing blanket mortgage on
the present church property. This sub
stitute went through on a run, with only
one dissenting vote.
Thus it was finally decided to purchase
125x125 feet on the corner mentioned and
lift all mortgages thereon by placing one
on the Powell-street property, which is
valued at $25O,OO0, leaving a margin of
5000, 0C0 with which to erect the church
after paying $48, 600 for the land.
This action seemed TO please all present,
as after an adjournment there was a gen.
erai d-shaking and rejoicing over the
result, with many compliments extended
to DR.. Hem phil for his clear and accepta-
BILE views on the question.

AN AWFUL SORE
A Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
Sleepless Nights.
CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.

herewith write out in full the beginning
and end of that terrible disease Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering, and
myself many sleepless nights.
My baby was born seemingly a fair healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old a
swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
aboil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning of the trouble.
1t did not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that of dol
lar. I used all kinds of remedies that could
think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
1t grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and 1 feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came on
visit, and when he saw the baby he told me
ito get CUTIoURA SOAP and CUTICURA oint-
ment right away" To please him 1 did so,
and to my surprise. by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has a nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to
recall that awful sore.
CUTIoURA soothes and allays all itching and
burning that cause child to fret and the
mother TO worry, and gives rest and comfort
both to parent and child.

Success in Mary
Stuart"
Bertha Foz Applauded in "a Legal
Tangle" at the Alca-
Ear.

The rain did not prevent large audi
ence from attending the Baldwin last
night to see Modieska's second perform
ance of MARY Stuart
This play has revived the Polish ac-
tress glory more than anything she has
given this season, and the audience again
showed its appreciation by frequent ap-
plause.
This evening Modjeska will play her
first San Francisco success, "Adrienne
Lecouvreur." for the first time in eight
years. On Friday evening and at the
matinee on Saturday 'Mary Stuart" will
be repeated Tor the last times. "Mac-

his own company, will open q season at
the Baldwin.
There are only few more davs of 1.-THE
Prodigal Father" at the Colum bia Thea
ter. Or Monday "Chimmie Fadden, "
with Charles Hopper in the title role. will

cess of this piece in, New Y ork that it run
all last winter and only ended lis engage
ment when the hot weather came in June.
Several members of the Alcazar com
pany are little under the weather in the

be expected at this season. The perform
ances of ga Legal Wreck" are going very
smoothly otherwise. May Buckley is still
i'll, but her part is being very acceptably
filled by Miss Bertha Folz, who in the
role of Olive Gray is thoroughly natural
and effective.
Next week William Gilette's comedy,
THE Professor" will be played at the
Alcazar.
The excitement of the stock board and
the enthusiasm incident to playing the
races" and following baseball continue to
pervade Morosco's Grand Opera- house in
'1he Westerner." This play has its last
performance on Sunday night. On Mon
day. evening a new melodrama, with a
strong dash of comedy, will be given its
fist production at the Grand.
Aladdin" with its many specialties, is
filling the Tivoli. Some of the attractive
features that are nightly encored are the
dance of the six little tailors, the electric
dance of the flowers and Ferris Hartman S
a real ballet, in which he is assisted by
Master Robinson disguised as a youthful
Sandow. Hartman and his little collab-
orator also provoke plenty OF laughter by
bobbing up serenelv in unexpected parts
of the auditorium and singing "Miss
Maria Johnson's Going to Marry Me"
What with the Hungarian orchestra and
the Tenor Guile the Orphe cum is well pro-
vided with good music this week. The
ballets are announced as drawing to the
end of their engagement.

cert. which takes place at the California

A Society for the Prevention of Dental
Students. How does that sound2
Secretary Holbrook of the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals is
convinced that there is pressing need of
such an institution. The boys are accused
of breaking out again as they did last
year, and the avenger is again on their
trail.
Holbrook was obliged to write the re-
gents of the university last year and COM
plain of the students tricks. This time
he has commun icated with the agents of
the Donohue building.
A lease of three rooms on the third floor
was recently granted the college. On the
same floor the Office of the society is STU
ated. Since that time oibrook states the
boys have acted in a manner totally unbe-
hitting gentlemen, and that their presence
is especially intolerable to ladies.
The agents are told that the bows are
generally boisterous and undignified, and
the agents of the building are requested
either 10 give the college rooms on some
other floor or cancel the lease altogether
