There have been many productions OF

never so dramatic and complete one as
that presented 10 the San Francisco pub
lie at the Columbia last night. The stir
ring scenes OF battle were portrayed with
a realism that was heard five blocks
away. and the powder smoke was so
thick that IL drew tears from the eyes Of
the hardest hearted. But II was not all
smoke. There was artistic effect and
dramatic action in the play. Infantry
men firing upon the enemy with breech-
loading Springfield rifles and cavalrymen
mounted on fine horses dashed across the
stage. riders after being shot falling out

MILLER ON COST OF
CR0SSWALK SYSTEM

OAKLAND. Dec. 15.-Street Superin-
tendent Miller has made a report to
Mayor Snow regarding the cost OF laying
proper crosswalks throughout the city TO
be used in connection with the question OF
the proposed bond issue.
Mr.. Miller shows that the total number
of crosswalks in the city is 1850, combina-
ton wooden culverts and crosswalks 1900
bituminous crosswalks $40; total 1880. AT
about ESQ points in the city no crosswalks
have ever been built. though to subserve
public convenience there should have
been, and at least 100 crosswalks could be
constructed to good advantage in the
more thickly settled sections Of the an
nexed district. AT present about one-fifth
OF the wooden crosswalks in the city are
more or less in need of repair.
The Street Superintendent estimates
that to substitute concrete, iron and
bitumen for wood in the reconstruction Of
combination crosswalks and culverts the
total expense will amount approximately
to $50 for each walk; the cost OF recon-
structing 600 crosswalks in bitumen at $3S
will be $22 500; 400 combination crosswalks
and culverts at SIS. $50 900. making total
OF $50 500.

sos Broadway, Dec. Is
According TO a petition filed in the Su-
perior Court this afternoon asking for an
authorization to sell certain church prop
erty, 1t appears that the St. Marcus Ger
man Lutheran Church on Filbert street
near Seventh, is heavily involved in debt
The petition was filed by William Z. F.
Weir and G.. Magerstaedt, president and
secretary respectively Of the church or
ganization, which is Incorporated under
the laws of this State, and the property
they ask TO be allowed to sell is that on
which the church stands on the east side
of Filbert street, 100 feet north Of Sew
enth: and the reason given is that the
church has no money with which TO meet
a certain promissory note made on June
13, 1895. for the sum of 5000. and an in
debtedness of $500 due the pastor, Rev. A.
Jatho, for back salary.
The obvious inability of the church to
meet these obligations was thoroughly
discussed at a meeting OF the church trus-
tees, held last Monday, and after due
consideration il was decided that the only
means by which the debt could be paid
would be by raising money from a sale
of the church property, and the president
and secretary were thereupon instructed
to apply TO the Superior Court for power
to make the sale.
The matter will come up before Supe-
rior Judge Greene on December g.

EDUCATION
AND AGITATION
BY SUFFRAG|STS
Local Workers for
Equality Waking UP.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
COS Broadway, Dec. Is.
Education and agitation combined are
the features during these few weeks
that precede the opening OF the next
campaign for political equality, OF the
work being done by local suffragists. The
different clubs OF Alameda County are
holding regular meetings. securing large
attendance on every occasion. and givi 2
TO members and visitors alike the ablest
arguments procurable. To make the ques-
ton live one in all minds. and 10 also
make IT clear and popular one, is now
the chief desire OF the leaders.
1t is expected that real action will fol-
low the new year closely. For then the
fight in California will begin, or rather
the fight will continue. And those who
believe in giving the ballot TO women
and who witnessed the last crushing de-
feat believe that victory will surely perch
on the suffrage banners the next time.
One Of the most active organizations
In TINS county IS the Seventh Ward Polit-
zeal Equality Club OF Oakland. which met
last evening at the Whelan residence, 1911
Sixth avenue. East Oakland. Miss Carrie
Whelan, who Is recording secretary OF
the State union. is president OF the Sew
enth Ward club and a very active and
jealous worker. Last evening she
brought TO the clubs notice the recent
woman question. These were enjoyed and
discussed.
The Second Ward Club will meet on
January TO elect permanent officers.
Then II VIII fall into fighting line with
Alameda's other like organizations. II
numbers some very active women among
its members. One OF these is Mrs. Sarah

HEAVY SHIPMENTS
OF GOLD TO EUROPE
Change in Foreign Rates Declared to
Be the Cause of the Ex-
portation.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Wall street re-
ceived with little surprise to-day the an
nouncements of gold shipments to Europe
There has been talk TO that effect all
through the week. and with the change in
foreign rates IL was declared that exports
were inevitable.
The first engagement announced was
that of 100000 by the banking house Of
Belmont & Co., and although the news
first came from the sub-treasury IL was
said the gold would not be drawn from
that place. The second engagement was
that of Barring, Magoun & Co.. who or
dered $500 900 of double eagles at the sub
treasury. and the third and last official
announcement was that OF Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., who engaged $3.50 900 in double eagles.
All the gold engaged to-day will leave
on the first steamers, and IL is thought
that further engagements will be made
tomorrow. Report had II that one OF the
biggest banking houses had completed all
arrangements TO ship a big sum from the
reserve in its own vaults, and three prom
inent foreign exchange houses. not yet
down for shipments. are likely TO be heard

the expiration of the option. Since there
was nothing lacking the bank Will not be
called upon to pay.
With the contamination of the site
matter Oakland finds herself awaiting the
erection of two public buildings-the IL
brary and the postoffice. Within fort
night both sites have been secured and II
is only question OF few months when
the buildings will be under way. This
fortnight, therefore, will be regarded as
new turning point in local history, for
both buildings are badly needed and have
been long desired.
The movement for the library site can
not but be most gratifying 20 the Ebell.
for IL has been general one into which
the public has entered gladly. In no way
was the campaign conducted as social
one. From the most prominent and from
the most modest gifts were accepted and
with equal pleasure; and 1t is probable
that in every case the 25-cent contribution
OF a schoolboy or the 81 donation Of a
mechanic was received with more genuine
delight by the ladies than the more NUM-
ficent pledges. The widespread good will
in the work was shown in one way last
