JUNIORS REVEL AT PALD ALTD, Stanford's Class of '97 Indulges in Merry Pastimes. ROSS’ FARCE PRESENTED Students Appear in Comedy Roles and Spare Neither Co-Ed Nor Professor. GOOD-HUMORED LOCAL HITS. The Play a Burl:sque on Upiversity Life—Suce:ss «f the Annual “Prom.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., April 1 unior day—devoted entirely to the junior class exercises—opened, as usual, with the circulation of printed and type- written circulars containing *‘take-offs” on nearly every junior in the class, as well as on eccentric individuals in other classes. Th-s: circulars are always gotten out anonymously, so there is no one re- sponsible for the sting which many an un- fortunate is made to feel. Most of the “grinds” were good-humored, but there is | often a tendency to malice in them. Some of the hittees this morning were around | looking for the hitter, but that individual | was not to be found, so no physical pun-| ishment could be wreaked upon him. The farce called *“A Stanford Deai” was | presented in the morning 1n the Encina gymnasium, where the opera “Said Pa- sha” was recently given. The interior of the building was handsomely decorated in class colors and ornamented with ever- greens. A crowd of students and nearly all the faculty members, with iheir wives, | were in attendance, and the building was well filled. The farce-comedy was the work of a member of the class of '97, J. M. Ross. Mr. Ross is one of Stanford's rep- reseniatives for the intercollegiate debate next week. His work as writer and de- bater has already attracted considerable attention here, and his farce was chosen as the best of the five presented in compe- tition. | The whole play was a typical college | creation, based on college political corrup- | tion and abounding in digs at a number of protessore—even Dr. Jordan coming in for | his share; shafts sent at vulnerable points | of well-known students, whose hobbies were caricatured to a dot, and a general | ridiculing of many features of college | life. All the professors took the jokes | on themselves in good part, and the audi- ence was kept in constant merriment. The committee of the class of ’97 that made | the selection of the farce included Miss | Rose Payne, Harry Z. Osborne, H. R. Straight, Chris Henne, J. H. Timmons | and Francis W. Lake, chairman. The synopsis of scenes of the play was as follows: Act I-Dining-room of the Redwood Hotel. Act T1—Moonlight promenade on the guadrangle, Act 111—Roble reception. Act 1V—Ski Hi frateruity house. One of the features of the farce was the scenery, that of the second act being a very good imitation of the interior of the Stanford quadrangle. The cast of characters was as follows, all of the principals being juniors: Dick Sharp, who likes to Clarence Stanwood, and member of thi F. W. Lake .. ‘Walter M. sfclutosh es hismammaand his | Brother .. . Lo ‘Willie Wobbles, Strar”. . . Professor Musty, D.D., Ph.D., posed to political corruption. . Bob Rusher) Ned Swiper -Sharp’s co-workers. Roy Erwin ) Alizannah Wobbles, w] , who Tov tics for Dick’s T 3 -..... Alice L Cowen Walters, fratmen, Roble maids, etc. Dick Sharp, with his cowerkers, plans to capture all lucrative offices in the next student election. To succeed, they neea | the support of Willie Wobbles of the Ski Hi fraternity and Professor Musty, but unfortunately they are at outs with the “frat” and Professor Musty is known to be hostile to combines. While the schemers are laying their plans in the Redwood Hotel they are interrupted by Ski Hi ‘‘frat’’ men, whoare initiating Willie Wob- bles and some others into their mysteries. The plotters withdraw unseen and the ‘“frat” men end their hilarity by vacking | off all the furniture on the place. Sharp has noticed all this from a secret place, and as the hotel proprietor will not be- lieve the Ski Hi's are the guilty parties, Dick Sharp is the only person who coula place the information in the hands of a constable, who is out with a warrant. Sharp uses his power on the Ski Hi's and is pledged their support. -Professor Musty | is secured by intimidation, it being insin- uated to him that his trip to Mr. Stanford’s vineyard with two big baskets had been observed and would be made public if he refused his support. Sharp gives bis scheme away to his co-ed helper, Leslie, and she, in a pique at his supposed neglect, gives Stanwood infor- mation which defeats Sharp’s plans, All the parties ‘ook their roles with great suceess, and the grotesque situation was highly appreciated by the spectators. The junior *prom’” was held in Encina gymnasium this evening. The walls were draped and divans were placed in cozy arbors for the dancers. The work of ar- ranging the details of the ‘‘prom” fell largely on Harry C. Hazzard, chairman of the ‘‘prom’’ commitiee, and on Chris Henne, the class president. The success | of the function was largely due to these men. Henne wasindefatigable in making the entire programme a success. The dances weretwenty-four in numb\r. About fifty couples were on the floor at one time during the evening, Leslie Donovan, sak LUTHERANS AT_SAII JOSE. Proceedings of a Day at the California Synod Session—Woman's Society Elects Officers. SAN JOSE, CaL., April 17.—At the ses- sion of the California Lutheran Synod this morning reports were read showing that much good had been accomplishea during tbe past year by the churches, Sunday- scliools and Christian Endeavor societies of the synod. The request of Rev. Pnilip Graif of the Oakland Free Will Baptist Church for a dismissal of his name from the synod roll was granted. The appor- tionment of about $150 a year that has | did not notice, was in direct range. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY.

Muelmel, a paipter residing at 233 North Eighth street, had ber left arm frightfully mangled by a north-side streetcar about 11:30 o’clock last night at the corner of Second and St. Join streets. She had just alighted from the car and in some way stumbled, a rear wheel passing over her arm. It is be. lieved tne arm will bave to be amputated. This morning she was removed to the County Hospital. - Body Fowund in a Gulch. SAN JOSE, Cawn, April 17. — The body of Peter Person, a Swede la- borer who for some time had been em- vloyed on the Wale ranch on the Llagas and who disappeared about a week ago, was yesterday found in a gulch in that vi- cinity. An inquest showed tuat death re sulted from heart disease. He was about 35 years of age and had no relatives in this country. EA e Becomes an Insolvent. BAN JOSE, Cav., April 17.—L. A. Merri- man, who has been engaged in farming and market - gardening near Mountain View, to-day filed a petition in insolvency. His liabilities amount to $2077. There are no assets. There is a suit pending against Merriman in San Francisco County for $680 due Chinese laborers. The petition will be heard May 4. e Edouard Awzerais’ Estate. SAN JOSE, CAL., April 17.—An appraise- ment has been filed showing the estate of Edouard Auzerais, who died in Paris on September 7 last, to be worth $694,565. The estate consists of property in Santa Clara and San Francisco counties and is be- %ueathed to the widow and relatives in rance. CAPAY VALLEY AROUSED, Feeling Against McMillan May Result in an Attack Upon Him. Residents Angered Because He Seized the Land of the Man His Sons Killed. WOODLAND, Car., April 17.—Deputy Sheriff Hugnes returned to-night from the scene of the Maxwell murder, in the foot- hills near Capay. He reports that the ieelinz in that vicinity against McMillan, the father of the boys who did the shoot- ing, is bitter, and-is likely to break out at any moment. McMillan’s attempt to jump the dead man’s claim as soon as his death was reported has incensed the peo- ple almost to desperation. That McMillan has been spared thus far is because the evidence against bim is not positive. The McMillan boys, who are mere lads, stoutly deny that the shooting was done intentionally. Wbhen questioned to-day by the officers the elder hoy said that he shot at a bird and that Maxwell, whom J}e t was through fear that he ran away when | he realized what he had done, instead of going to the old man’s assistance. No ar- rests have as yet been made, but the Dis- trict Attorney has the matter in hand. e FERNDALE'S MARSHAL SUED. Litigation Affecting the Rights of Itiner- ant Salesmen. FERNDALE, Car, April 17.—A suit affecting the rights of canvassers ana itinerant salesmen has been instituted in | the United States Circuit Court at San | Francisco by F. P. Holfschulle, a young book canvasser representing P. H. Collier of New York, against Frederick Doe, Mar- shal of Ferndale, for $6000 damages. Holfschulle alleges false imprisonment, he having been arrested by the Marshal on a complaint filed before the Recorder, James Smith, charging him with violating | an_ordinance requiring canvassers and soiicitors to first secure a license. Hcifschulle came to Ferndale about a year ago. A license fee was demanded of him. He refused to pay and was arrested and fined $20. The fine was paid under protest, and again he proceeded to can- vass. He was arrested a second time and fined $40, which was also paid after he had been in custody for some time. The next morning he left the town and after an interval of some months the suit was commenced. e FRESNO CEOPS BLIGHTED. Damage Done in Vineyard and Orchard by Frosi FRESNO, Cavn., April 17.— This, the great raisin center of California, was visited by another killing frost last night, which blighted most of the first crop of raisin grapes for this year. The Malagas suffered most, and it is almost certain that there will be few high-grade lavers mar- keted from Fresno next autumn. The largest vineyards, being unprotected by surrounding trees, suffered the most. It is expected that the second or later crop will be increased by this misfortune, but these raisins are always inferior and much below the ot/ ers in price. The damage to peaches, apricots, pears and apples has also been great in most of the colonies surrounding Fresno. In the foothills, where the cola seemed most se- vere, apples and peaches are said to be al- most totally destroyed. The weather has moderated to-day and no further damage isanticipated. S T BAKERSFIFLD'S AFFRAY. Dr. Lemke Dirs From the flicted by Brown. BAKERSFIELD, Cavn., April 17.—Dr. H. Lemke, who was shot last night by Lyons Brown in his own house while eat- ing supper, died about noon to-day. The Coroner held an inquest this afternoon. and the testimony showed a clear case against Brown as the aggressor. He was accordingly charged with murder.’ Brown is at the County Hospital, under guard. His condition is serious, and he has only a slight chance of pulling'through. Wound In- PRI L Nopa in Mourning. NAPA, Car., April 17.—A large crowd of sympathizing friends gathered to-night when the evening train arrived from San Francisco to meet the remains of the late Senator Dennis Spencer and followed in procession to the home of the family. Flags are at _halfmast and the town is in mourning. The funeral will be held on Sunday, at 1:30 p. M., at the Episcopal church. ————— LISTEN TOTHE PRUDENT ADVICE which urges you to the tmmediate treatment of that Rasping Cough by the use of Dr. D, Jayne's Expectorans, the best of medicines for Coughs and Colds, and an approved stand-by for all Pulmonary troubles nnd Toroat atls, CRASHES INTO A MONSTER WHALE: The Umatilla’s Captain Gives His Passengers a Fright. DEATH OF A LEVIATHAN While Taking a Nap It Is Cut in Twain by the Prow of the Steamer. DISMAY IN THE DINING-ROOM. Dishes and Their Contents Scattered in All Directions by the Shock. PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., April 17.— Captain J. C. Hunter, master of the steamer Umatilla, has had many experiences in his life on the sea, but the strangest of all came last evening as he was carefully guiding his vessel around the treacherous rocks of Cape Flattery and into the straits. The vessel was proceeding under easy steam, when the outlook forward reported something floating that looked like an overturned schooner. The Umatilla's vowerful glasses were at once turned on the wreckage, and the experienced eye of Captain Hunter told him it was nothing but a whale, although it was a monster. It was the work of a moment to decide what to do, and Captain Hunter swung the Umatilla around on a bee line with the sleeping monster and rang down to the engine-room for full speed. The Uma- tilla answered quickly and was soon leap- ing through the water toward the levi- athan. A moment later and the vessel struck the whale, and for about ten sec- onds there was oil poured on troubled waters. The passengers felt the lurch of the craft and rushed on deck in time to see the two ends of the half-severed mam- mal dangling at the prow of the steamer. The force of the blow had not driven the steamer entirely through the whale, and, in preference to pushing the remains into Victoria, Captain Hunter backed away from it. Then it could be seen that the whale was one of the hompback variety, over fifty feet in length. Several camera “fiends” were aboard, and secured good negatives of the unusual sight. There were four passengers on deck at the time the whale was struck, but it did not take long for all to get there. The bump against the sleeping monster sent soup and tea flying in all directions in the dining-room, and it looked fora time as though there was going to be a panic. Everything quieted down as soon as the passengers were informed of the cause of the shock, ST HORSES CAUSE TROUBLE. Passengers on the Blakeley Object to Brute Companions. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., April 17.— The brigantine Blakeley leaves here early to-morrow morning for Alaska, unless held by legal process, which now seems probable. The vessel left Seattle with a select party of tourists and miners, who wanted an outing, and all paid fare in ad- vance. On arrival here they found that sixteen horses were to be pnt on board and all the passengers rebelled. After two days’ parley the matter was finally compromised this evening by the return of half fare to two passengers who refused to go with the horses, and now two others are demanding the return of their full fare and are taking legal steps to detain the vessel unless their demand is complied with. The report has been received here by carrier pigeon that the steamer Lakme, which left Port Townsend crowded with freight and passengers for Cooks Inlet, was leaking when the pigeon was released, 285 miles northwest of Cape Flattery. CHIEF LLOYD ARRESTED, Another Move of the Accused Gold-Brick Swindler Root. Oakland’s Chief of Police Appre. hended, but Released on a One Dollar Bond. OAKLAND, CAL., April 17.—One of the boldest tricks yet played in the history of the gold-brick swindlers was attempted to-night, but it failed to work. About 10 o'clock Attorney Nusbaumer and Deputy Sheriff A1 White marched into the police station, and the attorney laid his hand on Chief of Police Lloyd and tola him he was under arrest. He turned his prisoner over to the deputy, and the Chief was taken to the County Jail, where he was charged with felony for having sworn to a misdemeanor against the goldbrick man, Root, on in- formation and belief. Chief Lloyd suspected what the game was, and before leaving the City Hall he told Captain Wilson if bonds were pre- sented for the release of Root to imme- diately rearrest him on suspicion of felony. The Chief had not been gone many minutes before Attorney Reed walked into the prison and presentad bonds for the release of Root. Bail had been or- dered for §1000 on each of two charges. ‘When the bonds were presented there was no alternative but to accept them and re- lease Reot. He was, however, imme- dintelf rearrested on suspicion of felony and placed back in his cell. Thisis the fifth time he has been released and been rearrested. To-morrow the habeas corpus mill will be worked for the sixth time. Chief Lloyd was turned over to the Sheriff and was shortly afterward released on a bond for §1. Every effort is being made to hold Root till the Grand Jury meets Monday. The only direct evidence against him is that of the Dixon banker, Stephen Little, and as he will not swear to a complaint, Root can ouly be held on an indictment f’y the GrandzJury. The District Attorney could present Lit- tle’s evidence to them as soon as they as- sembled and ah indictment would at once issue. It is declared by the Su or Judges who have already ordered Root’s relezse on habeas corpus thaf the evi- dence is not sufficient to hold him and his attorneysdeclare that his frequent arrest merely to get him brought within the jurisdiction of a fund jury is an outrage. Chief Lloyd will now make more strenu- ous efforts than ever to hold Root till the Grand Jury meets. “My arrest was an outrage,” said he to- 1896, night, “‘and its object is plainly to be seen. It was a piece of very evident stupidity to arrest me to-night, as there was not the slighest reason to suppose I would leave town before a complaint couid be sworn out against me to-morrow and properly served. But it did not benetit anybody.” COL¥ILLE SMUGGLERS. Officers Start to Raid a Gang on the Res- ervation Borde: SPOKANE, Wasw., April 17. — The knowledge having come into the possession of Collector of Customs Saunders at Port Townsend that an organized gang of smugglers was running contraband China- men across the Canadian border into the United States, after several weeks’ inves- tigation it was found that the pointat which they were being smuggled in was between I!{mrth of July Creek and Osoyoos Lake, in the Colville Indian reservation. A party of Government officials has left for the scene to arrest the smucglers if vossible. The latter have threateiied that no officer coming into the reservation after them would ever return alive. S AL SEATTILE DISASTER. One Man Killed Qutright and Two Seri- ousty Injured. SEATTLE, Wasn., April 17. — Frank Dean, aged 65, was killed outright, Alfred Thurlow had a leg broken and William W. Fease an arm fractured this afternoon by the giving way of a block used in holding in vposition an iron cable attached to a plow used in unloading dirt from cars on the site of the Great Northern freight depot in_this city. Dean and Fease were engaged in tearing down a brick building on the Great Northern property: Thur- low stood a block away, toward the engine by which the cable and cars were drawn. So great was the force upon the block that a Leavy post to which it was made fast was drawn out of the ground and hurled through the air a distance of seventy-five yards. THE. VERLISING LFE Professor Le Conte Considers Immortality in the Light ot Science. The Belief Would Not Have Survived the Lapse of Centuries if It Were Unfru=. Some of the City’s leading intellectual and social lights filled Golden Gate Hall last night at Professor Joseph Le Conte’s lecture on **Immortality, Considered From the Standpoint of Science.”” The lecture was given uncer the auspices of the Cali- fornia Psychical Society, but many not members, among the number a goodly sprinkling of clergymen, were present. The veteran scientist commenced by stating that he had been reluctant to en- ter upon the discussion of the subject of immortality, since he he had written so much about it, bt on second thought he had changed his mind, in view of the probable fact that much that he had said and written had not been even heard of by many people. *By immortality,” he commenced, “I do not mean the continued existence of the body, since death is the most certain of all ‘material phenomena. Nor do I mean a mere continuous being of the spirit without a distinet individuality. The | only immortality worth considering is that of the person. This is the form of immortality which we intend to speak of. “The unconscious, impersonal con- tinuity of our spiritual part under the form of iight, or of air, or of heat, would be of little advantage to us. The person would be sacrificed and the personality annihilated. Yet the conviction of per- sonality is vniversal. Now, when does this germ or principle of immortality take root in the human being? Is it at the moment of conception, of quickening, of birth, or when the child comes to the use of reason or undergoes t.e experience known as regeneration or ‘new birth?' “These are hard questions to answer, but one truth we must hold to be self-evi- dent: There is a gulf between the human being and the brute, between the outer world of sense and the inner world of con- sciousness. The latter world is the peculiar sphere of man. Man alone lives in two worlds; in the outer world of sense with the brute and in the inner world of consciousness alone, or, perhaps more truly, with God. All the great achieve- ments due to the infinite progressiveness which 1s a distinctive characteristic of man must be referred to this principle of what we may hope is immortality. “In this connection I assume the truth of thedoctrine of evolution. I further as- sume the fact of the existence of God, and still further I assume and maintain the circulation, throughout all nature, of a divine, seli-existent energy. Material in- dividuality is common to ‘man and brute; but kinetic personality is one of the attri- butes which distinguish the human being from all inferior creatures, and renders him like the mysterious, almighty energy which placed him as ruler over the lower citizens of t e universe. Spirit exists in many forms, but kinetic entity is the ex- clusive heritage of man and the beings of a higher order than he. “The fact of immortality is not a mere poetic ideal, but a truth which only needs to be dimly comprehended in order to fill mankind with a love for that (}unlity which is the glory of humanity. In the evolution of the human soul from the lower phases of spiritual existence we find some intellectual difficulties. The Platonic view is that souls are fragments of a great self-existent spiritual _principle. —The orthodox view that God created the material part of man and then breathed into it the breath of life cannot be enter- tained. The scientific view asserts the pre-existence of the soul in embryo, and at the same time admits its creation by natural forces. “By means of the brain we are able to advance without the confines of things material and peunetrate the mysteries of another, nobler world. This seems to me a certain participation in the divine nature, of which immortality is an essen- tial attribule, The beliet in God and in immortality is universal, save where it has been overthrown by a shallow, ma- terialistic puilosophy. This belief has persisted until our day, and is at the bot- tom of all or nearly all the nobler traits of humanity. This belief would not have survived had it not been true. “I cannot forbear comparing a rational Christianity with the modern Worshi}) of humanity.” The first moral law is the love of God, the second the love of humanity. Rational Christianity recognizes these laws and traces their enactment to a per- sonal, all-powerful, infinitely loving God. Rational Christianity also presents before us these three views of immortality: first, the Platonic idea of a self-existent, pre- existing, non-creating and non-created sea of spirit; second, the exploded orthodox theory of a material creation to which life was imparted from outside, and third, the scientific conception which believes in the pre-existence of the soul in embryo and 1ts creation as a conscious personality through the agency of natural forces. This, in my opinion, is the most rational vie “I have several times referred to God as a person. The essence of God is beyond our comprelension; yet when we.think of the almighty power which made us, we naturally form an image in our hearts and endow that image with all that we consider most worthy of the divinity. Conscious personality is the highest thing which the human mind can conceive; hence we call God a person, though we little know wiether tl';as finite term be worthy of the boundless majesty to which we owe our beiny,” Mount Rich, 3569 feet high, is the tallest in South Carolina, UKIAH'S BANDIT PLEADS GUILTY, John Schneider Sentenced to Twenty Years in Prison. GIVES UP THE FIGHT. The Prisoner Confesses After Having Been Convicted on One Charge. SORRY HE SHOT STANDLEY. Sheriff Johnson Believes the Stage Robber Was the Slayer of Sheriff Pascoe. UKIAH, CaL, April 17.—The trial of John Schneider, alias Haller, on a charge of robbery, was concluded this morning. Twenty-two minutes after the jury retired it returned with a verdict finding the de- fendant guilty of the crime of robbery, in having on January 15 robbed the stage running from this place to Willits, taking the express-box and contents, about $17. Schneider’s trial on the charge of having robbed the same stage on December 31 had already begun when the verdictin the first case was returned. After a consultation with his attorneys the bandit stated his desire to withdraw his plea of not guilty, which be had previously entered to the charge on which he was about to be tried. Permission was granted by the court, and he thereupon entered a plea of guilty as charged in the information. Time for judgment was waived and the court at once passed sentence upon Schneider in both cases, ordering that he be confined for a term of fifteen years for the crime of which he had been convicted and five years for that to which he had pleaded guilty. San Quentin was fixed by the court as the place of his incarceration. Schneider will be examined before Jus- tice Chritchfield to-morrow on a charge of having assaulted ex-Sheriff Standley with intent to murder, and,if held to answer, the information will at once be filed and the case tried at this term of court. Since his plea of guilty this morning Schneider has confessed, it is said, to Sheriff John- son that he committed the robbery, and stated that the only thing he was sorry for was that he had shot Standley. Sheriff Johnson claims to have sufficient evidence in his possession to justify him in charging Schneider with the murder of Sheriff Pascoe of Nevada County, one of the crimes of which Fredericks, who was recently executed, had been accused. OREGON RAILWAY SCHEME Receiver McNeill Petitions for Permission to Complete a Reorganization. PORTLAND, Or., April 17.—Receiver McNeill of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company to-day filed a petition in the Federal court asking for leave to exe- cute the necessery agreements looking to the adoption of a reorganization plan for the purpose of avoiding protracted litiga- tion and ending the complications that have followed the receiver’s appointment in July, 1894. The petition, which has not been acted upon yet, states that a reorgan- ization plan has been prepared, to which the different stockholders have given con- sent. A reorganization committee composed of Alfred S. Heidelbach, W. L. Bull, George Coppell, Charles 8. Fairchild, Arnold Marcus, John Crosby Brown, A. A. H. Boissevain and Henry R. Reed has been appointed, and has arranged that Master in Chancery McArthur’s re- port be abrogated or set aside, McNeill to assume as net liabilities the sum of $163,557 21, and the five former receivers to have credited to them the sum of 23,000. Receivers lank, Mink, Anderson, Coudert and Doane of the Union Pacific claimed that McNeill, as their successor, should assume the entire liabilities in- carred during the months of their admin- istration prior to the appointment of McNeil, they asserting that the order ap- pointing McNeill so required. McNeill etitioned to have the clause in the order gearing such construction elimmated. The matter was heard by Special Master in Chancery McArthur, who sustained McNeill, placing the amount to be assessed by him at $55,12292, out of a total liability of $320,807 16. The five re- ceiv:_rs appealed, which appeal is now ending. 0f your last pre- scription and hring it to us and seo the difference in price from a store that will not pay commission to physicians.
