5ourn they have drawn about them a large
circle of friends. The daughters are very
popular, the two eldest attending Mills
Seminary.
Peace and harmony were the rule in the
pastorate until a few months ago, when
Rev. Mr.. burnett began losing hopes that
his salary would ever increase. The
amount was a verv material drop from
what he had received while in charge of
q Presbyterian church in Binghamton, n.
Y Finally losing all patience, Rev. Mr..
Burnett frequently wove into his sermons
allusions to his small salary, and early In
January last clash came. During the
same month Ilobert Watson, one Of the
church trustees, passed over to the silent
majority, and month later another trus-
tee G. l.. King, followed him to the grave.
About this time meeting of the remain
ing trustees was called and Rev. Mr.. Bur-
nett presented his resignation, which was
TO take effect May l.
On Palm sunday the pastor preached a
sermon on 'Proportionate Giving" The
church was crowded and his words
"reached home" Since then neither he
nor any member Of his family has entered
the church building. There was no dis

ago, and yesterday there was no regular

WATER COMPANIES
TO MEET TO-DAY
DINGEE AND ROSE WILL BE
ELECTED DIRECTORS.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
909 BroadWaY April 10.


Tomorrow the most important annual
meeting in the history of the Contra
Costa Water Company will be held. At
this meeting a new board of directors will
be elected and the new Oakland Water
Company will formally die.
The new beard of directors Is in doubt.
There is no programme simply because
there cannot be owing to the mystery
which attaches to the ownership of large
blocks of the shares, which have recent
" changed hands. The stock market for
the past few months has shown that on
an average of 100 shares a day has been
sold, and If all these little blocks have
been corraled by one interest, it may en-
tiFely change the complexion of the
board of directors when 1T is voted to-
morrow.
1t is agreed upon at present that w. j.
Dingee and his business associate, Mr..
Rose, shall have places on the board, of
which there are seven members. 1t is
believed that Henry Pierce will be re-
elected president and j. HJ I. Watkinson
manager.
The terms of the consolidation have
been already published, and there is not
shade of doubt but that everything re-
garding the combination viii GO through
according to programme The new stock
to be issued TO Mr.. Dngee and Mr.. Hay
ward will be ready by the 1st of May, at
which date one or the other of the two
water companies offices will be closed
and all the business will be done across
the street.

nett had said in his last sermon that the
society which provides the salary is un-
godly, and that Providence had punished
the community by the death of Trustees
King and Watson.
Preston Crane, who is also clerk Of the
Union Church. was reticent. He stated
mat there was no trouble; that Rev. Mr.
Burnett had been a very satisfactory
pastor, and that he did not know why
he had resigned. 'Of course" said Mr..
Crane, you will always find some who
take exceptions to minister's remarks.
They hate the truth. Rev. Mr.. Burnett
is man of splendid character, and there
be left alone. We gave our pastor a
months salary in advance, together with
months vacation. No. we have not de-
cided upon his successor.
According to a young lady, another at
tendant at Rev. Mr.. Burnett's church.
the pastors sermon was such a scorch-
so nervously and seemed so worked up
that he didn't know what to do"
w. M. Doyle, principal of the San Lor
EMO public school, is also a frequent Wis
itor at the church. When asked why the
church held no regular services yester-
day he said: Yes, it is closed. The
higher wages. To tell the truth, he has
rather run to seed"
Rev Mr.. Burnett was not at home. He
Is now enjoying his vacation, but Mrs.
Burnett was seen and vigorously denied
there had been any dissatisfaction.
THE attitude of the congregation after
the sermon" said Mrs. Burnett, was
pleasant and we heard of no complaints.
My husband resigned last January, and
l did not learn of this until my return
recently from the East. l never did want
him to stay here.
Our church is a union church, attend
ed by people of all cFeeds, and by some
who have none.
''Yes, Mr.. Burnett expects to remove
to another charge in this State, l am
sorry to say. 1 do not like California,
anyway. Its papers are too sensational,
and I have never permitted my children
