Joseph Laymance, g time chm}'— man of the Alameda Cc v Democratic Central Committee, was a disappointed man last Thursday when he learned that he was not to be Collector of the Port of Oakland. The De atic papers an- neunced the appointment as a satisfactory oneto the party in this county and laid particular stress on the fact that Mr. Lay- mance had bee ed the place, but de- clined in favc ren B.

Fishing in Lake Chabot is to be stopped by the owners on account of the manner in which they claim the privilege has been abused. For many years anglers have been permitted to fish'in Lake Chabot. This pleasure, however, will soon termi- nate, as the fish are getting scarce and the number of seekers after the privilege is fast growing. Those who were accorded the privilege have been warned not to take out any more trout than they had use for. On sev- eral occasions people have been seen going away with as many as fifty or sixty fish, and occasionally as high as eighty. Last week an angler took out over 100 trout and was unable to carry them off and some Wwere left to decay by the side of the lake. This was the last siraw and now the big water company will limit its permits to their immediate friends. ; Revising the Ritual. The reforms in the ritual of the First He- brew Congregation will soon be ready to submit to the members, For several weeks a_committee, consisting of Messrs. Sol Kahn, D. Hirshberg, Marc Marcuse and J. Harris, has been receiving rituals from several congregations all over the country. Many surprises have been caused by the advances toward reform already made, and the feeling that existed against any kind of reform in the Oakland concregation is fast dying out. A Brakeman Killed. Harry Peregrine, a brakeman living in thislcity,was seriously injured at Tracy last night and died at Stocktona few hours later. The deceased man leaves a widow and a baby. Upheld the Press. Rev. Edward Davis preached a sermon to-night upholding the press of to-day. His lecture was in the nature of a reply to the expressions of the ministers at e cent synod at San Jose. Mr. Davis con- tended that the peopie demanded the sen- sational journalism of to-day, and that this was the cause of its existence rather than that the sensational press had created the demand that now exists for it. OR, JOHN FRYER COMING group W. B. lTHE PROFESSOR OF ORIENTAL LANGUAGES EXPECTED AT BERKELEY. He WiLL Give Up HiGH PosITIoNs IN CHINA TO TEACH IN CALIFORNIA. BERKELEY, Cav., Oct. 20.—The uni- versity community is looking forward with anticipation to the coming of Dr. John Fryer, who has been elected by the Board of Regents to the chair of Oriental languages at Berkeley. Dr. Fryer is now at Shanghai, engaged fic works for the Chi- He is expected to ar- nese Government. rive 1n California in the early spring. President Kellogg said yesterday that the time of Dr. Fryer’s arrival was an un- certaint; That he would be here during the coming term was almost a certainty. Last year the chair of Semetic languages | and literature was established at the ty, with Dr. Jacob Voorsanger as professor. The founding of a department of Oriental languages promises to give rise to even more general irterest, from the fact that Berkeley will have the second | department of the kind in the United | States, the other being at Harvard.

When she appeared before Judge Greene she told him about spi ualism” more than he ever knew before, and in the end he declared her to be sane and released her. Mrs. Boulon is living in hopes of becom- ing the bride of a man who died two years ago when he shall return to earth. She has furnished a cottage in Fruitvale in which to receive him. The widow of Count Poulson, who is the dead man, lives in possession of Peterhoff cas tle, with a host of members of the Order of the Messiah living around her, declaring that when the spirit of the departed Count gives the word they will march on Peter- hoff and place some of the waiting brides in possession, ready to receive their lord when he returns. In the tankhouse on: the ground lives an old man who refuses to be driven off, de- claring he has a right to be there, having received permission from-the dead Count, whose spirit is said to deliver addresses veriodically from the top of the tank- hous In‘an ark on the estuary, not far from Peterhoff, lives Primate Smith, who occasionally goes into a trance and re- ceives his orders from the unknown world which he transmits to the order. In San Francisco is Mrs, Lizzie Carter, who is said to be armed with a will that Peterhoff belongs to her, and that in due time she will prove that the Count was murdered. These are the complicated circumstances that bobbed up at Mvs. Boulon’s examina- ton, but, although Judge Greene evi- dently bas lis doubts as to the sanity of some of the witnesses, it was quite appar- ent that Dr. Poulson’s would-be bride is | _Dr. Fryer is an Englishman by birth | He was cailed out to Hongkong in 1861 by | the bishop of the diocese to assume | charge of St. Paul’s College. After two years at 8t.

Afterward he went to the Anglo-Chinese school at Shanghaiand learned a dialect distinct from the Cantonese, ot which he had already gained command. At Shang- hai he published a Chinese periodical and meeting with such success at his new line of work, he was called by the Emperor to enter the Government service as a trans- lator of foreign scientific works, which position he will resign to take up his new work at Berkeley.

The grocery and liquor store of Stunker & Ehmers, corner of O’Farrell and Mason streets, was entered by burglars between 1 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning. They took $85 from the till. An entrance was effected by climbing on top of a bootblack stand close to the Mason-street entrance, and breaking the transom over the door. The police have a clew to the burglars. —_——————— The Sullivans Won. The Sullivan Baseball Club played an excit- ing game against the Porter-Slessinger nine.

THE SEASON'S NEW DANCES SOCIETY WILL REMAIN TRUE TO THE “TWO-STEP” UNDER A DISGUISE. WILL BE THE “TRILBY” NOW. THE JEWETT TEA—RECENT EVENTS IN MANY OIRCLES—AN- NOUNCEMENTS. The New York World has the following about the new dances of the season, de- seribing what the arbiters of terpsichorean affairs have resolved to make popular this winter: The belles and beaux of New York society may be fickie in many things, but to the *‘two- step” they remain true. Again this year the gay little dance heads the list of even the new dances planned for the coming season. I masquerades under & new name as “Trilb butit is the same old two-step, the favorite which every one enjoys. Another variation of this dance s the Yale two-step, where four walking steps are introduced. It is a trifle more dignified, but none the less enjoyable. The factis that the two-step has so won the hearts of society that it predominates in all the new dances this year. The tendency of the coming season is for an open position at the beginning of a dance and then & united posi- tion. This is particularly seen in the Trilby two-step. But 1o give varfety to the dancing order there must be other dances save the two-step, and so when Professor Bournique and his co leagues of the American Society of Professors of Dancing met in convention ai Saratoga this fall they put their wise heads together and de- cided the fate of the new dances submitted by the members. One important feature of the conventiou was the adoption of a standard set of lanciers. In past seasons there have been 0 many variations to the regular lanciers that it was most embarrassing to the uninitiated to attempt this simple square dance. Now when society dances the lanciers it will dance it ac- cording to one particular rule. The standard lanciers omits the salute and is cut down to four figures. The first figure is danced four times. Like history the waltz repeats itself every season. This year it will be danced with more stately grace than of old. The hop waltz is quite & thing of the past. The caprice is another somewhat oid dance which will be high in favor this year, but it will have toshare the honors with the polka, for apparently the lat- ter will be danced by old and young until the end of time. The stepis sosimpleand the polka music always so hara to resist that the popularity of that dance is assured. The hom- age court dance is & new quadrille which promises to be in favor. Itisrather difficult 1o learn, hut will be taught byall the best dancing-masters. As for the german 1t is always with us. A new feature this year is to change the music at every change of figure. The coach figure isa novelty which the debutar and young beauxare diligently practicing. Three couples rise at the blast of a horn. They are joined by brightly colored ribbon reins snd then dance twice about the room, being followed by as many couples as the top of a coach can carry. When six groups of this description, or less, are on the floor the music changes rapidly from two-step to waltz, polka and york, changes which the dancers must instantly fol- e up must also keep together as it tand. At the end e favors is awarded. t graceinl dancers, to nd to those the judge S 0i pr They ere given to the m those who dance in the Lest time ar h whose group has kept the best form. The favors pertain entirely to coaching. There are stirrups and little lanterns which and look gay and bright. On Friday evening Mrs. J. H. Jewett gave an elegant tea at her residence, corner of Bush and Jones streets, in homor of Mrs. Geurge Crocker. The house was prettily arranged with chrysanthemums, potted plants and ferns.

NATURAL KNOWLEDGE. The Hon. John Mnnle;th‘s Able and Scholarly Sermon at the Second Unitarian Church. “Natural Knowledge as Leading to the Truth” was the subject of an able and scholarly sermon delivered by the Hon. John Monteith in the Second Unitarian Church yesterday morning. His main object was to show that incon- sistencies exist between the revelations of modern science and traditional theology. While aiming a body blow at many of the acceptations of biblical infallibility, the trend of his argument went to prove that “natural knowledge” establishes the “‘ex- istence and operation of the omniscient soul of the universe.” “Our researches in science,” he said, “‘convince us more and more of this grand wruth. In matter we find an interesting study. Matter is force. In one form we ‘roehlich, 3 Bertha nkins, Gabel 1 k3 find the solid, in another fiuid, in an- other gas and so on throughout the en- tire category — always depending, of course, on the quality and variation of that force. Nature is truthful in her records. She tells no lies, and in the operation of her various forces we discover indubitable proof of the universal soul. “In the prehistoric and early historic times, when man considered that this mundane sphere was the center of the universe, that the sun, moon and stars were all specially placed in their proper positions for his particular benefit, man assumed quite an important proportion in the great plan of cosmic construction. As man’s important relation to the universe was magnified so was God’s divine imper- sonality belittled. But as ‘natural knowl- edge’ spread and man began to understand that this earth and all that it contains are but an infinitesimal part of the numberless worlds that people inconceivable space he dwindled and dwindled until he became a mere atom. As he shrank to atomic little- ness God grew. The conception of the di- vine soul expanded. Our true relation to the universal system is understood, and as our ‘natural knowledge’ is extended our conception of the divine soul of the world is beautified and made sublime. * ‘It is a fallacy to suppose there is any- thing antagonistic in science in its true relationship to the only grand conception of God. Olpcourse it is repugnant to tradi- tional theology. 5 “Huxley savs that science is ‘nothin, more nor less than organized and traineg common-sense.” We think by rule instead of at the inspiration of tradition and super- stition. We are guided by facts. Our criterion of truth is fact and facts verified. Browning says_‘the truth is within our- selves.” There I follow him, but when he asserts that the foundation of that truth does not depend on externals for its modi- fication and verification I demur. After all has been said we can reach only the one conclusion — ‘natural knowfedge’ proves the existence of the ever-present divine soul of the universe.” ROASTED ON THE DUMPS, JOHN STAULICHER STRAYS INTO FIERY ASHES AND IS TERRI- BLY BURNED, He CraiMs THAT A RAILROAD WATCEMAN MADE Him WaLk OveER REeD CoALs. OARLAND OrrFicE SAN Francisco CArLy,) 908 Broadway, Oct. 20. { John Staulicher was found in the rail- road yards early this morning with his feet nearly burned off. He was discovered by a watchman and sent to the Receiving Hospital, where his imbs were treated. At the hospital he told the following story: He wasan employe at Mrs. Stan- winery at Vina and came to Oakland way to a winery at Livermore. While in this city he was searching for the proper train at the mole, when he was arrested by a watchman and charged with being a brake-beam rider. The watchman, so Staulicher said, took bim by the coat and marcned him through a pool of water and then drove him across a Eed of hot ashes, the effect of which was to burn a lot of flesh off his feet. An_ examination of the place where Staulicher was found showed exactly how he came by his injuries. He was arrested and driven out of the railroad-yards by the watchman and wulked on to Peralta-street dumps. The dumps are being burned over with kerosene oil as a sanitary measure and a large part of them were so d yesterda before daylight when Staulicher landed in the dumps and he did not see that there were two or three feet of ashes over a large surface. He walked into it and could not see which way to retrace his steps and so met with his fearful injuries. He says that the watchman forced him to take off his shoes and drove him onto the ashes, knowing what they were. This story is discredited by the police and con- sequently no effort has been made to find the watchman.

WEEKLY FRATERNAL KX Continued from Ninth Page. swer to the argument of Past Supreme Master ‘Workman Wilson on *“Average Age,” which the latter recently presented to the supreme relief board. This answer, which has peen published in the Pacific States Watchman, shows that the order has for a number of years past had an average vearly increase and that the death rate has been lower for the past ten years than it was in 1876. Ancient Order of Foresters. This order has multiplied within the Pacific Coast jusisdiction since November 6, 1889, over tenfold, there being at that time but fil- teen courts. Now, there are 151 good healthy courts. Eighty of that number have been or- ganized during the past two years. The man- agement of the order is unique among fra- ternal societies. Each subsidiary high court has full control of the order within its juris- diction. No per capita tax is paid to the high court of the order by any subsidiary high court; all that is required of each is that pass- words and dispensations shall emanate from the supreme head of the order and that each jurtsdiction will observe the cardinal princi- ples of the order in its workings. Thus the universal thread is preserved throughout the civilized world, and members while traveling enjoy privileges which cannot be over- estimated.

On that occasion Past Councilor Julis A. C. F. Molinari; conductor, P. Lambert; inside,| Hobbse was presented with a handsome dia- mond badge. The entertainment given last week for the benefit of the initiatory team, while it was well attended, was not patronized as it should have been. The team does a great deal of hard work, and its services to the order ought to be better appreciated and recognized than it was on the occasion of the recent entertainment, Last Wednesday Samaritan Council No. 13 celebrated its anniversary by an enjoya ble en tertainment in Pythian Casile. The various officers are still at work explain- ing to the various councils the laws and plan of assessments adopted at the recent session of the grand body.

The grand officers of the order have been in- vited to participate. Reports received from different councils show that there is a marked increase in membership and that a number of councils are initiating new members at each meeting.

MR, LANING'S ADRESS MEETING OF THE GOOD CITIZENSHIP COMMITTEE HELD YES- TERDAY. DECLARES HIMSELF AN OPPONENT OF BOSSISM—PRAISE FOR MaYOR SUTRO. A meeting of the Good Citizenship Committee was held yesterday at Metro- politan Temple under the chairmanship of H. W. Quitzow. The announced speaker of the day was J. A. Lansing of Cambrideeport, Mass., whose subject was entitled “The American Peril and the American Pope.”’ Mr. Quitzow opened by saying: ‘In- telligent Americans are always ready to meet a foe from whatever point he comes, and all that is necessary 13 to know where the enemy is and to have an army suf- | ticiently large to fight him.” After the singing of ‘“America” by the audience Rev. C. A, Rabing offered prayer. Rubinstein’s song, “Voice of the Woods," was given as a vocal solo by Miss J. M. Hadenfeldt. This was encored, Miss Hadenfeldt rendering a song of the Fatherland. Rev. Donald M. Ross, who was greeted with applause, said that he was glad to see Mr. Lansing at the meeting. He had read a book by Mr. Lansing entitled ‘“Roman- ism and the Republic” with a great deal of profit. ‘“America’s peril is diminishing every day,” said Mr. Ross. “Morning is breaking and Rome must show her hand. ‘With such men as J. Q. A. Henry, Lansing and Fulton I believe that this Nation will become the illuminator of the world. At that time every man shall own his soul and be the possessor of his own destiny rather than subject to Pope or priest.” Little Baby Mearns sang jtwo patriotic songs in an interesting manner, gaining much applause from the audience. She was loudly encored twice. Mr. Quitzow made several announce- ments refilrding further lectures to be given in the future. Mr. Lansing greetea his audience. He related an anecdote with the comment that the present assemblage was ruled by neither priest, pope nor devil. He quoted from a speech of Archbishop Ireland, who was stated to have said “Protestantism is in hopeless dissolution, utterly valueless as a moral power and not to be reckoned with.” The speaker quoted statistics showing the number of Protestants in this country. He discussed the mission of Protestant clergymen, saying: When they were imbued with the true spirit they handled public affairs from every plat- form and in every pulpit. The perfif of America is the peril of its cities. Thus if one wants to know what England is to-day one must go to London. If one desires to read the history of Germany one must read the history of Berlin. The cities of this land are in a position to be redeemed. Every great city has a great State at the back of it. I ask the ques- tion: “What is the trouble with our great cities?” and tie answer, “Boss rule.” No one objects to leadership, and when the word came Eest that Adolph Sutro had been elected Mayor that a man was elected who had fought bossism consistently. The speaker discussed the politics of New York since the time of the war, say- ing that there had never been an election in that State which was not dominated by bosses, even so far as regarded the election of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Lansing re- marked that the President’s letters gave Romanists to understand that he was their man. He said: The American Pope is Monsignor Satolli, T desire to treat him with _perfect courtesy, or I ‘would call him a boss. }Pe came here to repre- sent the Vatican at the Chicago Exposition, and he came to settle the school question. This was the man who was elected president the Ecclesiastical School at Rome—a school of diplomats. He is a man of power, and must be reckoned with squarely. Mr. Lansing counseled friendliness to- ward Catholics. “Bea friend to the man who is down, no matter what his religion is,” said the speaker. Mr. Lansing will lecture next Sunday on “The Outlook of Romanism, or One Hun- dred Years of History.” —_———— Painting Our House. I was informed by every one in our vil- lage that our landiord was a man of his word and would do just what he agreed to, so when I got him to agree to paint our house and surroundings I thought I had a pretty good bargain. “I’ll paint every- thing around the place that you want me to,” said he, with a suave smile that was only slightly marred by his prodigious chew of tobacco. That was where I got left. I should have made him agree to paint the colors that I desired. Unfortu- nately our tastes do not agree. and that house looks like a chromatic aberration of a nocturne by Whistler. When I argned with him he merely said he was painting ip the color that it Qught to be, Finallv I we threw our hats in the air at the thought | asked him what color the leaves of the trees around the place ought to be. “Green,” said he, ‘‘as a matter of course."” I have him now painting the autumn leaves green, as fast asthey turn. Jam ahead of one landlord, anyway.—Tom Hood, in Truth. SUFFOCATED BY GAS. Death of Samuel Henry, a Retired Second-Hand Furniture Merchant. Samuel Henry, a Polish merchant, who had a second-hand furniture store under the Brunswick House on Howard street between Sixth and Seventh, was found almost dead in bis room at the Brunswick House early yesterday morning by his daughter.
