Question of Expenses Of

ATTACKS ANTI-PAPISTS
Minister Delcasse's Allu-
sion to Russian Alliance
Causes Much Enthusiasm

PARIS. March 25.-COunt Boni de
CasteIlane Republican, created a
scene in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day. When Foreign Minister Delcasse
asked for a credit of $4,000 to defray
the expenses OF President LoubetS
visit to Rome the Count said it was
understood that the President would
not visit the Pope and yet would visit
the representative of the dynasty who
had despoiled the papacy. NJ BrissOn'
President Of the House, interrupted the
speaker, declaring that his words were
an insult to the French nation Amid
great disorder the Count continued
speaking. He asserted that NJ. LOubet's
visit was to be made to a King who
owed his throne 10 Freemasonry. In
seeking the friendship Of Italy, the
speaker added, France was sacrificing
the friendship of the vatican. Several
Deputies replied to the Count.
NJ. DeIcasse. in supporting the credit,
made a significant allusiOn to the
Franco Russian alliance, which
brought out much enthusiasm. He said
NJ Loubet's trip to Rome was another
evidence Of the rapprOchement be-
tween nations which began with the
alliance with Russia and the faithful
continued maintenance Of that alli-
ance. This was the first allusiOn to
the Russian alliance since the begin
ming of the war in the Far East. and
in view of the efforts in some quarters
TO weaken the alliance the statement
Of the Minister for Foreign Affairs was
considered important.
The Foreign Minister did not reply
to the criticism of Count BOni and the
credit was voted by an overwhelming
majority.

the sail and before the youngsters
knew what had happened the craft had
overturned. Both boys managed to
cling to the boat, but in their struggles
to get up on the side which was out of
the water, one of them kicked or pulled
plank from the bottom of the boat,
which was old and rotten, and it quick

heard by Hess, who called to young

Indulge in "reminiscences
of Twenty-Five Years Ago

ALAMEDA, March pa quarter
of century ago on this date the First
Congregation al Church was organized
in hay loft on Webster street, be-
tween Railroad and Pacific avenues,
and in commsamoration of the event ex-
ercises in thn nature of a reminiscent
home gathering were held tonight in
the edifice of the congregation on Cen
trail avenue and Chestnut street.
Rev. George Morris, the first pastor
OF the church, related the early trials
and triumphs of the eleven persons
who made up the original congregation.
Death, he said, had claimed the ma
jority of the eleven, and the only one
of them now affiliated with the present
church is George T. Morris, one Of his
sons.
Rev. Mr. Morris filed the pulpit from
1879 to 1884 He was succeeded by Rev.
o. G. May, who served one year and
gave way to Rev. w. W. Scudder Jr.
The latter retired from the pastorate
in 1901 and his place was taken by
Rev. L. Potter Hitchcock, who now
directs the affairs of the congregation
and who acted as master of ceremonies
tonight.
Rev. Dr. ]. X. Mclean, who also as
sisted in forming the First Congrega-
tionaI Church, and James E. Ager, the
first superintendent of the Sunday
school. made brief talks, as did Rev.
Mr.. Hitchcock. DR.. Mclean told of Incl
dents that occurred during the five
years that services were held in the
HAY loft church. The building now
occupied by the congregation was
erected on Central avenue near Grand
street, DR.. Mclean delivering the dedi-
catory address. In 1885 the structure
was moved to its present site.
Composing the original board of
trustees of the First Congregational
Church were Rev. George Morris,
James B. Merritt, T. L. Hierlihy, James
E. Ager and NJ G. Strong The men,
bers. of the present board of trustees
are: George w. Scott, George A
! Moore, F. n. Eckley, H. F. Dexter
Harry F. Lobby, William J. Walker
and J. Edward Warren. This board, in
conjunction with Rev. Mr.. Hitchcock
has planned for the erection of a new
home of worship for the congregation
that in architectural beauty will sur
pass any religious edifice in Alameda
Rev. Mr.. Hitchcock will at the Sunday
morning services speak of the old
homes of the congregation and of the
plans for the new.

People of Berkeley Become

Desire for Improvements
Berkeley ofice San Francisco Call.

E14o center street, R1dTCn
The booster spirit now -infects
Berkeley. 1t is epidemic among the
two Improvement clubs of the town
and the contagion seems destined TO
end up in the death of thousands of
knockers
Charles L. Biedenbach, principal of
the Mckinley School, inoculated lot
Of people last night with the booster"
serum. This was done at the meeting
of the North Berkeley Improvement
Club. This treatment was suggested
by the fight that is about to be made
to put the bonds for schools through
when the bond election comes off. Mr..
Biedenbach said
I'VE must get the facts before the
people. We need schools the worst way.
| don't know of any better way to
help the bonds for them than to form
boosters club like they have in
Oakland. We must advertise the bonds
before the people and tell them how
badly off we are for proper school ac-
commodation. A boosters club is the
thing"
Victor Robertson, president of the
club, and others advocated the club,
and out of Mr.. Biedenbacils sugges-
tion will grow an organized effort to
boost the town. This will probably
take form through the amalgama-
tion of the North Berkeley Improve
ment Club, the Central Improvement
Club and the Citizens Bond Commit
tee. The idea will be worked up be-
tween now and the next meeting of the
clubs and the bond committee and then
the booster" club will become a power
