TALKED OF THE HOME
The Subject for the Woman's
Congress.
mm B. ASTHONY TO COME.
A Crowded and Successful Preliminary
Meeting Held.
MISS ph(ebe mam OS FRANCHISE.
What Dr. Hawcis Has to Say of Argu
ments Against Women Wielding
the Ballot,
The rumor had Jgone out that several
popular speakers would address tbe meet
ing of the Woman's Congress Association
yesterday afternoon, and before 3 o'clock
every chair and square inch of standing
space wag at a premm in in the dining
room of the Occidental Hotel, where the
meeting was held.
Ladies of all shades of opinion were
present, from representatives of the "new"
woman to the most conservative varieties
of their sex. but most of the speakers
handled their subjects with such tact and
:,«ing earnestness that even those
who had gone prepared to disagree with
what they heard were led to applaud be
fore the end of the proceedings.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper presided, the mem
bers of the executive board grouped round
her being: Mrs. Ada Van Pelt, Mrs.
Charles Nash. Mrs. George T.Gaden, Mine.
L. A. Sorbier, Mrs. Helen Campbell, Mrs.
Garrison £erst, Mrs. A. D. Sharon, Mrs,
f'harlotte Perkins Stetson, Mrs. W. E.
Hale and Mrs. C. B. Bradley.
After alluding to the success of the last
congress the president stated that Susan
B. Anthony and Mrs. May Wright Sewall,
president of the National Federation of
Women's Clubs, had promised to be
among thf speakers at the turning con
gress. Miss Anthony ' 3 name was hailed
with great applause, and Mrs. Cooper,
when it had subsided, asked those present
to show their sympathy with the cause by
joining the Woman's Congress Associa
tion.
One of the speakers who excited most in
terest yesterday afternoon was Miss Phoebe
Couzens of St. Louis. The^ well-known
woman lawyer, who vras simply gowned in
black silk, chatted with her audience for
twenty minutes or so about her persona!
recollections of pioneers in the cause of
women's congresses. The lovely home and
the charming personality of Pauline
Wright Davis of Rhode Island, in whose
first dawned the idea of a congress of
matrons, were described in detail, and the
speaker then told what good housewives
Elizabeth Cady Stanton'and Mrs. Stone
were.
"The lives of these three showed how,
while having a beautiful hearthstone, a
woman could at the same time take an in
terest in public affairs," said the speaker.
Miss Couzens, with a glance of amase
ment at Mrs. Sarah C. Cooper, then con
fided to her hearers that she had been
warned against saying anything about
suffrage, as many" conservative women
would be in the audience. Rev. Mr.
Hawda who had preceded her, however,
having plunged boldly into that topic, she
: whether the same privilege might
not be accorded to her. Laughter and ap
plause from all over the room being the
reply, Miss Couzens proceeded to point out
that nothing is complete in nature without
two enual halves.
"It fs a law which man has invented in
his government, and you see the result.
One word about our last campaign in New
York. Rich women, and fashionable
women, plunged into it; they took t lie
question out of our hands, and at the
convention held at Sherry's, where the
society ladies were tumbling over each
other "in their eagerness to attend the
meeting, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
whispered to me, 'Phoebe, don't you
think we had better pinch ourselves to see
if we arc in the rjesh.' The speaker con
cluded by declaring that the franchise
would be a means of elevating not only
woman, but the whole human race.
Rev. H. K. Saweifl was \he speaker,
however, who came out most strongly upon
the quest ion of suffrage. Alluding to
what has recently been said on the subject ■
at Sacramento he remarked: "I was reading
the papers this morning and the amount
of nonsense talked about woman's fran
chise was second only to the nonsense
talked on the same subject in .the English
House of Commons. One man got up
and <a\:\ iadies did not want it. That's no
argument. When 1 was a little boy I did
not like to be washed— few little boys do
like to be washed— but that is no argu
ment why they should not be washed. It
does not follow because a person does not
want a tiling that it is not good for them."
Miss Rao Frank of Oakland made n tew
remarks upon the subject for the congress
in May. --The Home." Alluding to Dr. I
Parkhurst's statement that the club is one
of the devices of the devil for undermining j
the home, she begged her hearers to con
sider carefully what constitutes home.
"Is it to be made by the overworked
woman who darns stockings and rocks the
cradle?" she asked. "Is it to be made by
the advanced woman who dares for none
of these things? I personally believe that
all the world's great movements have be- I.
gun in the home. I believe that when we !
pet up and ask for the ballot, onr fathers. |
husband:- and brothers will give it to us;
but we must first consider-- will it tend to i
make better our homes? Home! the dear
est spot mi earth to Da."
Rev. Charles W. AVendte of the First
Unitarian Church. Oakland, in speaking
on the suffrage question, said : "In poli
tics man Deeds woman, and woman needs j
man " He defended, however, those i
women who are opposed to having the bal- ;
lot, on the grounds that their conservatism
springs from a delicate and sensitive spirit. >
Sarah Pratt Can's excellent work in organ- !
izing women's clubs was described at con- j
si'li ruble length, and Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper !
stated tiiat she was happy to be able to
announce that Mrs. Carr would be pres- >
ent at the congress in May.
A glowing tribute was placed to the ex
cellence of the last congress by Mrs. Helen
Campbell, co-editor of the Impress. Mrs.
Campbell gave it as her conviction that a
greut work Mould be accomplished by the
forthcoming one.
The following letter from Susan B. An- !
thony was read by Mr?. Charlotte Perkins :
Stetson:
Rochester. N. V., Jan. 21.
Ma Dear Mrs. Gaden: Your kind message j
from the Pacific Slope Woman's Congress Asso- I
ciation is before me, and 1 cannot say nay to '
Its most cordial request for me to be with you j
the three weeks In May. Therefore, I an- ,
BWer, 1 most cheerfully v and gratefully ;
accept your more than generous offer, j
so heartily indorsed by your lovely president, i
Sarah B. Cooper. If you'have uny special point !
of my one subject, "Woman and Her Disfran
chised,'' upon which you wish me to speak
please name it to me*. Or will you prefer to
leave me to say my word upon whatever at the
time seems to call for it? You will please
command me when or for what you may de
sire. My heart leaps for joy at the thought of
all the pleasure that will come to me because
of your demand upon me, and making it possi
ble for me to meet it. Yours, sincerely,
Susan B. Anthony.
BINDING THE CONTINENTS.
San Francisco, Honolulu and Yokohama
Ocean Cable Lino.
It is stated that a telegraph cable is to
be laid between this city and Yokohama,
via Honolulu, by the International Pacific j
Cable Company, which is soon to be in- j
corporated for that purpose. Its stock
holders are representative business men of j
the Pacific and Atlantic slopes, and the i
new undertaking will be indorsed by the \
Japanese and Hawaiian Governments.
To send a message by cable to Yoko
hama, 4*>o miles, costs*s2:i3 a word, the
tariff to London being 37 cents and the re
mainder, : $1 96, going to the foreign cable
companies.
The importance of this new enterprise
cannot be estimated and its speedy estab
lishment, binding the American and Asi
atic continents in close communion, is de
voutly wished.

THE MOBNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1895.
PASS A BOGUS BILL.
Two Companions Arrested
for the Crime.
NOTES OF A DREADED PLATE.
They Were Executed by a Government
Engraver.
OIILY EXPERTS CM DETECT THEM.
D. Paquet Had Many of lliem and Induced
a, Friend to Pass One at an
Auction Sale.
D. Paquet, an Oakland harness-maker,
and Alfonso Colson, a cook, living on Sev
enteenth street this rity, were arrested
yesterday and are now in the County Jail
charged with passing a $50 bogus bill.
For almost a generation counterfeit treas
ury notes, engraved by the same hand that
designed this one, have been in circula
tion, or at least would appear now and
again in various parts of America.
So well executed were they that only
bank casniers or men expert in detecting
little differences that distinguished coun
terfeits from genuine notes could tell
them apart. The retail merchant would
take them only to learn from his bank that
he had been duped. The paper was almost
a perfect counterpart of the Government
article. The engraving and printing were
to all appearances perfect, but on the por
trait of Hamilton appearing on the face of
each a fatal mistake was made. Hamil
ton's coat on the original and genuine
notes had tiny square buttons, while the
counterfeits were round, a feature not per
ceptible except under a powerful magnify
ing glass.
This particular bill has a singular his
tory. It was recognized as a treasury note
for $50, new series No. 1, No. 7151, issued
under an act of March 3, 1863. The signa
tures of L. C. Chittenden, Registrar of the
Treasury, and L. 8. Spinner, Secretary of
the Treasury, are on it. The engraver who
made the plates for printing it was for
merly employed by the Government, but
wa< discharged on suspicion of counter
feiting.
Paquet had the note nearly two years
ago in Oakland. He moved to that blace
from Stockton and engaged with L. Keser
in the harness business four years ago.
Some time later he sold out hisinterest in
the store and a patent horse collar to his
landlady, Mrs. Fredenburr, an Oakland
dressmaker, for $1. Late in 1893 he gave
her the counterfeit note, asking that she
keep it for him, and next day told her to
buy a $15 cloak.
Paquet declined to accompany her to the
cloak store, so Mrs. Fredenburr went to
Joyce & Co.'s house on Washington street
and bought a coat for $lf>. She gave Paq net
the balance, but when Joyce presented the
bill at the bank it was' returned. The
merchant would not prosecute Mrs. Freden
burr, who pot the price of the coat from
Paquet. Then Paquet took the note to
Raymo «fe Macdonakl, tanners, and asked
Raymo to pass it off upon one of his work
men and credit himself with the amount
on account.
Raymo refused, whereupon Paquet gave
the note to an old man named Smith, who
is now living in the Grand Army Home.
Smith was to buy theater tickets and re
turn the change, but Mrs. Fredenbnrr told
him the note was had. About the same
time Paquet and B. C. Collins, a brother of
Mr?. Fedenburr, were out driving, when
Paquet pulled a roll of greenbacks from his
pocket.
"How would you like to deal in this
stuff? It's no good, but that makes no
matter, so long as people don't know it."
The matter dropped, and Collins Trent to
the mines in Idaho next day.
Paquet since met Alfonso Colson, and a
week or two ago got him to pas? the note
in payment of $7 for harness at the auction
of L. 'Keser's stock in Oakland. The coun
terfeit was not detected, and Paquet gave
Colson money for new clothes and to get
shared, so the duped auctioneer would not
k'sow him. Keser kept the note, and when
young Collins returned last week from the
mines they concluded it was part of Pa
quet'a slock in trade. Secret Service Agent
Harris was notified, and hi.s son, N. R.
Harris, arrested Pauuetin Goldberg, Bowen
& Lebenbauni"s stable on California street,
and Colson at his home on Seventeenth
street.
Colson claims he did not know the note
was a counterfeit, and promises to tell all
he knows about Paquet, who pretends to
be innocent.
Paquet has a wife and three children
living on Scott place fn this city. The wife
had him arrested for failure to provide for
his children, but he was. released on bonds
and went to Oakland. He told his old
landlady there he intended leaving the
country at once, and she asked him for
money due her and what her daughter had
loaned him. This made him angry, as he
expected to borrow money from Mrs.
Fredenburr. He hit her with a bottle on
the face, kicked and broke her nose and
then beat the daughters. For this savage
assault he served six months in the Oak
land j«il.
The treasury agents hope to get an in
teresting account of how Paquet received
;he coanterfit notes, which have, long been
a source of annoyance to them and uneasi
ness to others, because the bills are nearly
perfect. ___^______
Th« Civic Federation.
The members of the Civic Federation
met yesterday afternoon in room 13 of the
Mills building and discussed further the
arrangements for holding a mass-meeting
in favor of upholding the committee that
was sent to Sacramento some days tgo to
urge action in investigating the local Police
Department and mutters of corruption in
municipal and other circles, which the
Federation ha* had in hand for some time.
Judging by the interest which has been
taken in the masSTmeeting project it will
be a rousing success. It is expected that
all the details will be completed in a day
or so. The members of the federation are
determined to push the matter through
energetically.

THE LORING CLUB SANG.
Successful Concert by a Popular
Organization.
A Fashionable Audience Applauded tbe
Amateurs— Old Fellows' Hall
Crowded.
An enjoyable concert was given yester
day evening at Odd Fellows' Hall by the
Loring Club, assisted by Mrs. John Mar
quardt-Breitschuck.
As usual when this club sings, there was
not a vacant seat to be had in the build
ing, and as usual also, the music per
formed was bright, unpretentious, and so
well within the abilities of the singers that
they were able to render it artistically and
with considerable linish. The parts were
well balanced and the intonation was good.
A slight lack of absolute precision was
discernible occasionally, but this was very
fugitive. As a rule the voices sang as if
they all proceeded from one throat.
One of the most effective numbers was
"The Young Musicians," by Kucken.the
quartet, consisting of J. G. Morrisey, J. O.
Humphrey, s. <;. Bomen and W. Neilson,
helping very much to its success. "The
Bedouin's Prayer" gave Frank Coffin a
solo, and in the arrangement of Schubert's
dances, Mr. Blum and W. J. Keeley sang
tenor solos very acceptably.
Mrs. Marquknh - Broitschuck was re
called three times for her first harp solo, a
'Fantaisie Serieusi-," by Godfrey, but she
did not give nn encore. After the second
solo, "Marche Creates" however, she was
prevailed upon to play again.
David W. Loring. as usual, conducted,
and Miss R. W. Loring contributed all the
accompanying required.
Will Appeal to the President.
Miss Angela Delville has not found her
mother, but believes she is in Washington,
D. C. The young lady will write to Presi
dent Cleveland for assistance in her quest.
Miss Trigon, with whom Mies Delville for
merly lived, said yesterday: "If I coulii
help this girl to iind her mother I would
be only too glad to do it. I kept Angela as
long as I could, and then she went to live
with the Sisters of Charity. Since then I
have not heard a word from her mother,
and have no idea where she i»."
Y. M. C. A. Concert.
A good audience was present at the fifth
concert of the members' course in the
auditorium of Y. M. C. A. Hall last night.
These monthly concerts are coming to be
quite a feature of the institution. As usual
a good entertainment was provided. The
performers were Edward Fabian, who
gave several dramatic readings and sang
bass solos; Miss Nellie Shipley, cornet
soloist: R. Patch, violoncellist, and
P. Dellapiane, accompanist.
Anxious Creditor* of the City.
The Board of Supervisors, in compliance
with the request of the associated creditors
of the city and county of San Francisco,
has appointed to-morrow, at 2 o'clock
r. m., at the chambers of t lie board, in the
new City Hall, as the time and place for
a meeting with the creditors of the city.
Creditors are requested to be present, as It
is intended to devise ways and means of
satisfying the debts.
She Stayed Out Late.
W. A. Bradford was granted a divorce
from Mrs. E. L. Bradford yesterday on the
ground of her cruelty to him. He alleges
that she used to apply vile and opprobrious
names to him, and frequently she stayed
out until the small hours of the morning,
and when he mildly asked her where she
had been ;uid what she had been doing,
she used to use language more forcible
than is to be expected from a wil>.
A Church Attached.
Sheriff Whelan attached the California
Methodist Episcopal Church Association
yestf-rday at the instance of J. J. Raver for
$139. an assigned claim of the Boesch Lamp
Company for goods sold and delivered.
A man versed in language heard ten
different tongues spoken while he walked
across the Brooklyn bridge the other day.

OAKLAND GLEANINGS
More Evidence in the Trial
of J. E. Sexton.
DID BE SIGN THE CHECK?
The Democrats Indorse J.W. Kelson
for Mayor.
PROHIBITIOMSTS SAME P. leCAMIi.
Dean Was Once a Telegrapher — A Couple
Long Since Divorced Arc Still
Fighting.
The trial of John E. Sexton has been on
all the week before Judge Ellsworth. He
is charged with forging a check in the
name of R. J. Boyer for $100, drawn upon
the California Bank of Sacramento, which
check was later paid by Wells, Fargo &
Co. to a person identified by D. I). Hop
kins, a clerk, as Sexton.
The case has been bitterly contested on
both -sides and has excited considerable in
terest because of the well-known record of
Sexton, and the outcome has been closely
watched.
It has always been said that Sexton
would slip through this cloud as he has
heretofore evaded trouble. There is cer
tainly a mystery about the man, for even
after this arrest, when he was thought by
some to be bound straight for San Quentin,
he has fared well with the jail people and
had special consideration shown him. Be
sides this he has transacted a large amount
of business from the jail by correspondence
and has always had a big visiting list, his
callers mostly being men who called to
consult him regarding the Amador rail
road project.
From having been very positive in the
beginning that the evidence would convict
Sexton, those who have watched the case
now say that many conflicting bits of evi
dence crept in which throw a doubt over
the Boyer transaction.
For instance, W. E. Copeland, a Wells-
Fargo delivery clerk, who paid out the
money on the forged check, would not be
positive that Sexton was the man he paid
it to.
James W. Keyes, who said he had done
business for Sexton' in connection with the
Sutter Creek Railroad in Amador County,
testified that he knew his handwriting,
but that the handwriting in the check was
not that of Sexton. The latter had been
his client, and witness said he and Sexton
had got to be quite chummy. Keyes said
he had practiced law two months.
The train dispatcher at the pier, F. J.
Vandercook, said he did not believe the
handwriting on the check was that of
Sexton.
Another man in the employ of the
Southern Pacific, George T. Keyes, a clerk
at Fourth and Townsend streets, said he
had known Sexton sixteen years and had
worked with him in Gkftdall, Perkins &
Co.'s ollice, and that he did not believe the
handwriting was that of Sexton.
The same testimony was given by ex-
Sheriff Fernstead of Marin County, who
said .Sexton had corresponded with him
about a street railroad and a wagon road in
Marin County.
R. J. Boyer, the man whose name was
forged to tne check, said that the signature
was not genuine.
The case went to the jury at 5 o'clock
last evening.
At 11 o'clock the jury came into court
and stilted that they could" not agree and
Judge Ellsworth discharged them. Sexton
received the verdict with a smile. The jury
stood eleven for conviction and one for ac
quittal.
Dean a Telegrapher.
The police are still laughing over the
easy manner in which Dean, the counter
feiter suspect, fell into their hands. A Mrs.
Jensen was delegated by Dean to go to the
police station to inquire fur his wife the
day after her arrest, and the police pre
tended to know nothing about her, but the
Chief sent word by Mrs. Jensen to Dean to
come down to the police station and he
might give him a pointer as to her where
abouts, saying that in the meantime he
would look her up. And Dean came down
to the police station.
He remarked afterward to the Chief of
Police: "You never caught a man quite so
easily as you did me."
Mrs. Dean was arrested early in the
evening of Monday last, and it was not long
after until she was missed by her husband
and pal, for by 10 o'clock that night they
were scouring Oakland for her. Between
10 and 11 o'clock Dean, who, among his
other occupations, has been a telegrapher,
dropped into the Western Union office and
BtoOa at the counter fumbling over a di
rectory for fully half an hour, and listen
ing all the while to the newspaper matter
that Operator McCormick was sending to
the San Franrisco papers. The operator
soon saw by his actions that he could read
the wire, and then to throw Dean off sud
denly changed from the old to the Phillips
code of sending. This seemed to worry
Dean and be went out.
Dean's pal was also with him that night t
for the Operator saw a man approach the
window lour different times and peer in
while Dean was standing on the inside.
McCormack got a good view of both men
and would know them readily if he saw
them. ,
Dean's wife was yesterday turned over to
Deputy Marshal Gallagher by Sheriff
Whire'and taken to San Francisco.
> What the Charities Are Doing.
At a meeting of the advisory hoard of the
Associated Charities, held la"st night, the
superintendent presented the following re
port :
During the month there were 118 appli
cants for relief. Of this number twenty-
Bix were new family cases, iifty new singl%
cases, twenty-six recurrent family cases
and sixteen recurrent, single cases.
The superintendent during the month
made fifty-eight calls.
The woodyard opened January 2. From
that date to January 31, inclusive. 103
woodyard tickets were issued from the
central office. Of this number eighty
three reported at the yard and were given
work.
The association now issues meal and lodg
ing tickets. These tickets can be had by
applying at the central office. The plan is
to place them in the hands of any benevo
lently disposed person, allowing them the
privilege of sending the applicant direct to
the restaurant or lodging-house, paying lor
the used ones, which will be collected later.
This affords an opportunity to the private
citizen of bestowing temporary relief by
means of these tickets.
i'ollct- Shoot at Shell Mound.
Blue coats, brass buttons, bright, shining
stars and Winchester rittes formed the bill
of fare at Shell Mound Park yesterday.
The police force was out for a practice
shoot, and although this is the first time
out, and the boys were not very well ac
quainted with their guns, some of the
scores were exceedingly good.
The conditions of the shoot were 5 shots
at 200 yards. Officer Arnest captured the
championship with a score of 20 out of a
possible 25. The score was: Captain
Fletcher 17; Officers Arnest 20, Kingsbury
19, Cockerron 19, Swain IS, McCartv 18,
Clark I^, Schroder 18, Williams lt>, Mur
ray 16, Bank 16, Eli 15, Murphy 14, Carson
IS, Kiickner 12, McKetgan if, Green 11,
Lay ton 11, Quigley 0, Keefe 8, Powers ?,
Nedderman 7, Hines 5, Sill 4, Morrison 8,
Moon 3.
The shoot will be continued to-morrow
to give some of the officer?, who failed to
find the bullseye, a chance to redeem them
selves.

Ttun Down by the Can*.
An aged gypsy couple, Mr. and Mrs.
William Sparrow, who have been living in
a tont at !^<-! Short street, were run into
by the 8:80 Berkeley local train yesterday
and both came tiear losing their fives.
The accident happened within 200 yards
of their tent, and was due to the heavy fog,
which prevented the old couple from see
ing the train in time to get out of the way.
The old lady jumped, but unfortunately
toward the engine, and was badly bruised
about the head and face. Mr. Sparrow
was hurled some distance, and on being
picked up it was found that he had sus
tained a fracture of the ribs on his right
side and was seriously injured internally.
They were taken to the Receiving Hospi
tal, where Drs. Johnson and Dunn made"
an examination and dressed their wounds.
Mr. Sparrow is 64 years old and his wife 57.

Separated, but Fighting. •■•
The troubles in the Olney family did
not end when Emily M. Olnev and Elbert
Olney were legally separated over a year
ago. Mrs. Olney has now brought suit
against Mr. Olney to recover $990 10. She
claims the money to be due on an agree
ment entered into March 25, 1892, whereby
her husband agreed to pay her $60 a month
for two years, on condition that she would
waive all claim for maintenance, alimony
and counsel fees. Mrs. Olney says that he
has only paid her $449 90 on the contract,
and now she asks that he be compelled to
pay the balance due. "^"'^iS-

crowded house is looked for.

funeral will be held to-day at 2 p. m.
ALAMEDA.
The Good Government Club held an en
thusiastic meeting at Linderman Opera
house last evening. The chief business
was the presentation of names which will
be eventually balloted upon in order to
make choice of candidates for the various
city offices, which the club as a nominat
ing convention will present at the coming
election. The candidates are not to be
selected in the manner heretofore in vogue.'
No limit is to be placed on the number of
names to be presented, but every vote will
be deposited under watchful care, and the
system to be presented contemplates no
roll-call'of delegates. Six ballot-boxes will
be placed on the stage in charge of a mem
ber of the executive committee, who will
supervise the casting of ballots. Tihe con
vention will meet thirty days before elec
tion. As only one night will probably be
required to elect the ticket there will be
ample time to canvass for ' signatures.
Many of the prospective candidates are
taking time by the forelock and circulating
petitions for the requisite percentage of
signatures.
Captain Evong Injured..
Captain Charles Evons was the victim
of a most unfortunate mishap on Wednes
day night. He was standing at the corner
of Park street and Encinal avenue, when
two dogs, while playing, ran into him with
such force as to knock him down on the
pavement, breaking his left leg just above
the knee. Dr. Stidham attended the cap
tain. Until a few months ago he was
superintendent of one of the salt plants at
Alvarado.
Property All Sold.
Street Superintendent V. M. Frodden
yesterday sold the remaining two pieces of
property for delinquent assessments for the
widening of Encinal . avenue. , The only
bidder in each instance was a representa
tive of A. L. Payne and the amount bid
covered the assessments with the delin
quency added.
Attributed to Electricity.
One of the water-pipes connecting with
the Artesian Water Company's main, on
Webster street, burst yesterday, inundat
ing the macadamized roadway, which
eventually caved in. The cause is attrib
uted to the electrical current of the street
railroad.. . " . ''.-■,. . ' • '

A set of ringing resolutions were adopted

BEBICELEY.
The public interest in obtaining the ter
minus of ' the proposed competing railroad
at Berkeley has passed the first stage of
sidewalk talk. At first suggested by a few
citizens rather hesitatingly, the interest in
the matter grew as the excellence of the
idea seized many, and now President Ac
ton of the Board of Trustees has issued a
call for a mas3-meeting for to-morrow even
ing to discuss the question. Emeryville is
a formidable rival for the ferry and train
terminal, but Berkeley has awakened to
the need of exertion, and she will press her
claims undoubtedly, now that the ball is
started rolling.
