Nov. 29. § commenced Beth-Jacob congregation tle celebration this evening of the festival of Chanuka, or the dedication of the lights, eight s, and each The festival las y mp is highted with great evening a new 1 ceremony. Rabbi M. Linezner, although only a few wecks with Beth-Jacob, has already m rated an active educational system for the children of its members, the object being to familiarize them with the history of their race. The study of the German and Hebrew languages is undertaken in connection with the historical lessons, but all other studies are left to the public schools. The pupils of the school opened to-day’s proceedings with a.song. Rabbi Linezner and pupils rendered the manrive or evening service, and then the rabbi performed the ceremony of dedi- cating tue lights, and in this he was also assisted by his pupils, The ceremonies. were made very inter- esting to all present. For the benefit of those who did not understand the He- brew language Miss Sarah White gave the English translation of the most inter- esting numbers. Gus Ringolsky gave the Hebrew reading of Chanuka and also the address on the dedication. 1. Buchman read the history of the festival, and was foilowed by an English song by the pupils. From the remarks of H. J. Landers it was learned that the school was in a very flourishing and progressive condition and ful addition to the syna- gosue. Jennie Buchman read a aper explanatory of tie day and the Mi-ses Sarah White, Augusta White and ha Silverstein sang a trio. e Dr. Linezner's =arrival at the church marked progress has bern made. For some time vrior to his coming the church had rua down on account of hav- ing no permanent pastor. The lost ground has now more than been regained and Betb-Jacob has taken on new life.

The Bedy of Harry Lomax Recovered After Being in the Water Over Four Months. ALAMEDA, Car, Nov. 20.—One of the boldest and most successful robberies ever verpetrated in this city occurred at an early hour this morning, when two un- known men called Chariie Berry from his house and relieved him of §45 in gold five- doilar pieces. Berry 1s commonly known as “Deaf Charlie,” and resides near the foot of Park street, opposite the electric- light station. He is considered to be in good circumstances, and the victim of simila work several months ago. Mr. Berry went home late last night, and thinks now that he was followed by the robbers, but did not know it at]the time. He was called to the door by re- peated knockings, and as he opened it he was grabbed by two men. His mouth was closed by one and the entire pocket cut by the other from his pants, in which he carried the money. The men then made their escape in the darkness. The officers were notified ana a fairly good descrip- tion given them by Berry, but they refuse to divulge the latter at present. Berry has been very unfortnnate of late, Besides being robbed before he had an la(f:ciuent with a buggy, and nearly lost his ife. Harry Lomax's Body Found. ALAMEDA, Can, Nov. 29 —The body of Harry Lomax, the 13-year-old son of R. R. Lomax, the biacksmith, who was drowned on July 15, was recovered to-aay and brought into Weaver's undertaking apartments. An inquest will be held at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. The acci- dent occurred on the Bay Farm Island. Daisy Lomax. accompanied by her brother Harry, agei 13 years, left the Park-street Station on the 15th of July, by the narrow gauge train, for High street on a fishin excarsion. They walked to the bridge nng sat down on a platform under the string- ers of the drawbridge, where they fished for some time. In going back bome the boy suddenly fell into the water and was drowned. It is thought he was seized with a cramp in the chest, and this cau ed him to fall backwards into the water, or he might have lost his footing. Tbe girl screamed for help and was about.to jump into the water, but some men who bad heard her cries caught hold of her just in time. The boy was not seen by the men, and as a strong tide was com- ing in thev could do nothing. Searcn was mude for the body and a number of per- sons dragged about the spot where he fell into the water for the balance of the day. The remains were located near San Lo- renzo landing last evening. The boy’s moth as been seriously ill for several weeks and it is feared thai the shock will be more than she can bear. Donated to the Library. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 20.—The public library, elaimed to be the best of any of its class upon the coast, was to-day pre- ited with a full set of the “Tiouvelot Astronomical Drawings,”” by Horwinski Brothers of thiscity. Tne books are vaiued at $100. 1t represents to the general student and the public, with the utmost accuracy, minuteness and beauaty, the chief celestial obj cts and phenomena, precisely as the wonderfui progress of modern research and the power of modern instiruments now presenc them to the trained eye of the as- uonomer. Notonly the general appear- ance and relative pos tions of the different objects are accurately given, but their =culiar and delicate colorings are repro- duced with vivid effect—a resuit which photography is wholly inadequate to se- cure. While conversing with Librarian Har- bourne this morning Mr, Horwinski stated that his boys bad a set of these works, which they desired to give either to ihe litrary or to the public’ schools, Mr. Harbouroe at once put in a wise word, which resuited in the books reaching his Bl =7 SN Q A I X ) Sl i WA e \ ? \i A il Il e ] I S B AL LS e LT SYNAGOGUE BETH JACOB. hands before night.

He was an honored citizen and a member of the Masons, who will prob- ably have charge of the funeral, which will take place from the late residence, 1210 Grand sireet, Tuesday,at2 ». M. The deceased leaves a widow, two daug ters, Miss Eva ana Miss Nellie, and §oseph Falkinham Jr. THE LADY AND THE DRESS Pertinent Comments on a Recent Masquerade Sequel-The Es- tuary Bridge. OAKLAND, CarL.,, Nov. 29.—The man- agers of the masquerade balls that have been held up to this part of the season re- gret that they have departed from their usual custom of naming committees of awaras. This city has three daily papers, and the custom has been to appoint their representatives on the all-important com- mittee 2t a mask ball. There has never been any appeal from their judgment and all were satisfied. When the Merry Mon- archs held their ball a-few nights ago a committee acquainted with the maskers. was appointed and the result may yet be tragic. The whole of the Bay District has become interested 1in that ball, and Miss Minnie Riley and Mrs. Diilingham have been forced to defend tneir respective types of beauty, their tastes, their honor and truthfulness and also their financial condition through the press. All this has been very humiliating to Golden Gate and Emeryville society and more sensational developments are yet expected. “We’ve had lots of tronble,” said a manager this week, “‘that we didn’t have when we let the reporters have the choice, and I guess we’ll have togo back to the ola order of things. You see a reporter never has any lady friends, and he don’t pay any attention to masked faces, and so he passes an opinion solely on the costumes, and that’s what we'want. Then again, a newspaperman doesn’t pass half his time ai the bar, and o he is not likely to get muddled, and altogether they make the best judges.”” This masquerade manager is to be con- gratulated on his correct conception. If the best interests of Oakland harbor are consulted there will be but one bridge across the estuary in the future. There is no traffic that requires two bridges, and the increasing shipping in the harbor and the projected improvements make it im- perative that there shall be a minimum ot obstruction across the estuary. It is a very difficult matter to tow a bigz ship through two drawbridges unless both are opened at once and the tug can have a clear passage. Forgyears shipping men bave been complaining of the delays oc- casioned by the twe drawbridges, and to sailing schooners that have to beat up or down_the channel the loss is very great. Within the past month some large bunk- ers and wharves have been opened in the upper harbor, and the contract for others was only let a few days ago. . This means that the largest class of vesseis will soon be navigating the upper harbor, ana to have to pass two bridges, when but one is necessary, 1s only a needless increase of danger. Bruarr W. Boora. TALCOTT FOR CHAIRMAN, Dr. BE. Stiatton For Physiclan at the Receiving Hospital. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 29.—1It is given out authoritatively that J. R. Talcott will be the chairman of the new Board of Su- pervisors. Supervisor Church was orig- inally picked out for the presidency, but when an agreement was reached Talcott was chosen and Church will control the County Infirmary. As the resuit of the complexion of the new board it is stated that Dr. R, Stratton, a brother of the Senator-elect, will suc- ceed Dr. M. L. Johnson as physician of the Receiving Hospital. County Expert Harris will be retained. His place was wanted by Supervisor Wells for young Failon of Wells’ district, but being a lone Democrat Wells could not dictate regard- 1ug the patronage. ——————— Three Boys and a Gun. OAKLAND, Cav., Nov. 20.—Three boys with a gun met with a serious accident this afternoon, and it is_thought one of them will die. Jona Donovan, Harry Canty and John Strisch, all iads about 12 years of age, went out on the Alameda marsh this afternoon to shoot rail. Thbey bad with them one ordinary shotgun. They were crossing a creek, and were passing the gun, which was cocked, from one to the other, handling it carelessly from stock to muzzle. The gun went off just when all the three lads were in the Jine of fire. Canty received nearly the whoie charge in his breast ana face, and some of the shot entered his lungs. He 18 very badiy injured, and is suffering from internal hemorrhages, and it is thought he cannot recover. Donovan’s little and third fingers of one hand were shot off, and Striseh received a few shots in the face, but theinjuries of the twolastnamed are not serioux. The boys were so badly frightened that they cannot remember STUDENTS MUST MAKE MUSCLE Physical Culture to Form an Important Factor in High Schools. Well-Trained Athletes May En- ter College in the . Future. Professor Magee of Berkeley Deliver Four Lectures on “Physical Culture.” to BERKELEY, Cir, Nov. 28. —Gym- nasium work bids fair to become a part of the curriculum of every High School in the State. Well-trained track athletes and sturdy football men may soon be de- veloped outside of the university. The time may not be far distant when mile- runners, sprinters, hammer-throwers and balfbacks will enter college with records equal to any held by the best of our uni- versity athletes of to-day. The first step in this direction was taken to-day when Profeesor Walter K. Magee of the department of pbysical cuitur at the 3tate University left for Southern Cali- fornia to deliver a course of four lectures cal Culture, on “Physical Culture’’ before the annual session of the Southern California Teach- ers’ Association. Never before in the bis- tory of education in California have lec- tures on the deveiopment of tiie physique been given by a professor from the uni- versity outside of the college walls. Immediately npon his election to a pro- fessorship Mr. Mugee set about to prepare a course of lectures on physical culture, to be delivered to the high school students of the Btate. The dataon the training and aevelopment of the human body, which he bas been ga hering ever since becoming connected with the university eight years ago. has been arranged and compiled, together with a quantity of notes wuich he has recently taken espe- cially for the purpose. The lectures by Professor Magee at the session of Southern California teachers are consiaered as the forerunners of a course of prescribed work in physical training in every preparatory school of the State, The interest along that line in the secondary sciiools has been rapidly in- creasing for several years past. As a re- sult of this precotlegiate training the stu- dents who have entered the universjty within the last two years have been much better developed than their predecessors of four or five years ago. It is the purpose of the university to still further encourage this systematic exercise in the public schools, and to that end Professor Magee will work at such times as _he can get away from his duties at Berkeley. President Martin Kellogg. Eimer E. Brown, head of ihe de- partment of pedagogy, and Associate Professor Bailey of the same de- partment; Professor William A. Setcheil, Professor who held the gun when it went off. The lads were treated by Dr. Hamlin at the Receiving Hospital, 1 head of the department of botany; Professor Bernard Moses, chief of the department of history; Proiessor William Carev Jones, head of the depart- ment of jurisprudence, and Professor Irving Stringham, head of the mathe- matics department, will also auend the | session of teachers at Los Angeles. Baium-Frank Nuptials. BERKELEY, CaL., Nov. 25.—Wedding beils chimed in the university town this afternoon for A. Baum and Miss Mellita Frank, both ol Berkeley. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Sol Greenhood on Oxford street, Rev. Dr. Friedlander of Oakland tying the nuptial knot. A large crowd of the Jewish friends ot the contracting par- ties, both from San Francisco and Oak- lang, were present. The couple took the afternoon train for San Jose, where they wiil remain for a few days, after which they will go to Vi- salia, returning after their honeymoon to San Francisco, where they will make their home. ALLIANCE DISAPPOINTED. Not Chosen as Guard of Honor to the President-Elect. OAKLAND, Cav, Nov. 29.—The dis- patch from Canton, Ohio, relating to the personal escort of President-elect McKin- ley came like a thunderclap to the Repub- lian Alliance of Oakland. It stated that the Eighth Regiment of the Ohio N tional Guard has been selected to act as Major McKinley’s personal escort to Washington from Canton. Since the election thealliance has hoped that it would be accorded the honor of be- ing Major McKinley’s personal escort. They had some ground for their hope. Alameda County saved California for Mc- Kinley, and thbe alliance worked so hard during the campaign that it naturally considered it had some right to recogni- tion. The arrangements for a trip to Canton for the purpose of escorting th- President- elect to Washington were taken up in earnest, but were h eld in abeyance until it was krown whether the Alliance would be cliosen or not. The news of to-day has firovod a big dis- appointment to the crack political regi- ment of the State. R MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. Four Generations Attend the Edwards Golden Wedding. OAKLAND, Cir, Nov. 29.—3r. and Mrs. John O. Edwards of 1056 Thirtieth sireet were married in South Wales just half a century ago to-day, Over 200 invitations were sent out to a reception that was held this alternoon and nearly all of them were accepted. Mr. Edwards is 77 years of age and his wife 1s four years his junior. They have ten children livingand numerous grandchildren were in attend- ance. Aditer their marriage in 1846 they made a tour of the world and settled in Nevada in early days. Some years later Mr. Ed- wards came to California to prospect in the mines. He was lucky and when he quit mining he came to Oakland to live and has since made his home here. - Many Are Confirmed. OAKLAND, Car, Nov. 29, — Bishop Nichols presided at the confirmation ser- vice to-night at the Church of the Advent. Fifty candidates were confirmed, which is the largest class ever presented in the parish, PALOS SIGN OF SILENCE The Accused Murderer Signaled Mrs. Parenti After the Style of Italy. Quick Mcvem-nis of the Hand Over the Forehead a Solemn Re. quest for Silcnce. There hus been a great deal of curiosity in Italian quarters and elewhere as to what L. Palo, cbarged with the murder of Agostino Parenti, meant in the Coroner’s office on Saturday when, during the testi- mony, he suddenly arose and sought to quiet Parenti’s widow by afew mysteri- ous words and signs that none of the Ital- ians present understood. Mrs. Parenti was almost hysterical dur- ing the ;xvlnzof evidence bearing on her husband’s death. She wept aloud and ejaculated many strange sentencesin Ital- ian during the progress of the case. Suddenly Paiv, the accused man, arose, spoke one or two commanding words of so catalistic 8 character that none of the Italians unaerstood them, made a mys- terious motion across his forehead and sat down. 3 Coroner Hawkins was angry over the proceeding, but the woman was effectu- ally quelied. When ber eyes met Palo’s she ceased her noise and went to the next room, where she spcke no more, but sobbed quietly during the entire proceed- ing. There were rumors yesterday that the signs were those of La Mafia, but Italians do not credit the story. Speaking of tie signs yesterday Joseph Marini, who has traveled widely over Italy, said: “Some suci crossing of the head as 1s reported to have occurred during the trial is the super- stitious and somewhat solemn warning resorted to by peasanisin Southern Italy when they desire to impress upon a friend the idea that speech may be followed by dire disaster. I mightsay 1tisa prayeror impreecation, invoking God to make the erson addressed remain quiet. Why alo wanted the woman to remain quiet 1 do not know, but I believe the sign was nothing but a solemn injunction to keep still.” Company i’s Shoot, Following is the score at the monthly shoot of Company L, N.

HOWPOORLD * AME T0 AMERIC Learned Theory That the Indian Race Originated in Asia, Led Here From Jerusalem and Later Cursed With a Red Skin, E. H Nye, President of the California Mormon Mission, on the Solution of a Great Problem. E. H. Nye, president of the California Mormon Mission, preached yesterday at 9u91; Market street on the origin of the Amcrican Indian. He said substantiaily: From the time the Americas have been re- garded as & continent, separaie and distinct irom the Oid World, and more especially since immigration from the Easiein Coutinent has developed here the mighty Nation' of the present, the question which perhaps above all others has perplexed the mind of every hist rian, archaoligst and thinking man, who has given the matter serious reflection, is: Whois the American Indian? Whence came these dusky braves, whose council fires, two centuries ago, rose i1 every valley irom Hud- son’s Bay to farthest Florida and from ocean to ocean? Historians agree that, notwithstanding the #eneral simiiarity of the native American nations in form, feature, color, hair ana speech ‘h!f were widely separated in culture. On the table-lands of Mexico, Central America and Peru lived nations which, as compared with the rest of the world, may be proverly termed civilized. Indeed, tue archmologists Of the pres ntin their very recent discoveries in those districts are proving beyond the question of a doubt that they were once the homes of & people highly cultured and highly civilized. In Bancroft’s ““Native Races” that locality is Teferred 10 as tne seat of a mighty empire which grew and flourished until it reachea the zenith of 1ts power, then becume corrupted and fell, leaving only its mighty ruins to mark its glorious pa: Large cities have been unearthed, revealing ruins of great works of architecture, master- pieces of art and science, demonstrating the fact that those districts were once the seatof & wealthy and poweriul people. Different theories are extant as to their origin and his- tory. Some contend that America was peo- pled from Europe, some from Africa, some irom Asia. Many believe that the Mexicans were originally Jews, or descendants ot the ten tribes of Israel. Yetnone of these differ- ent theories seem 10 satisiy even the men who advance them, and after & research of nearly four hundred yers they almost unanimously agree that (he( are as far from a satisfactory conclusion as in the beginning. It seems that an impenetraule veil has been stretched %efore them by an omnipotent hand, beyond which science bas not had power to pass. Why fur- therjpursue these unsuccessiul attempts 10 fathom these mysteries by means of science? Why not turn the full rays of light upon the subject, solve the problem and put anend to these vain atiempis? The Book oi Mormon, purporting to be a his- tory of the predecessors of the Americar In- dian, offers, among others, the foliowing evi- dences corresponding with the discoveries of the age: On pages 302 and 303 may be found an accu description of the country now known as Guatemala and Yucatau. This country is therein represented as the grand centerof civilization of & mighty nation. An account is also given of the destruction of many of those large, flourishing cities, viz.: “‘And the city ofMoroni did sink into the depth: of the sea and the inhabitants thereot were diowned.”” That city now lies beueath the ocean waves between the mainiand at Vera Cruzand the San Juan de Ulloa. (See Ban- croit’s Native Races.) “Yea, and the city of Ouihah and the inhab- itants thereof, and the city of Mocum and the inhabitants thereof, and the city of Jerusalem and the inhapitants thereof; and waters have Icaused to come up in the place thereof to hide their wickedness and abominations from fore my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints’ shali not come up any more untome against them.” In the locality some- times cailed the ““Lake District,”” in the prov- ince of Petin, between Guatemaia and Yuca- tan, in two of the lases are unmistakable evi- dences of cities having been sunk beneath the waters (Bancroft). > :*And behold that great city Jacobugath, which was inhabited by the people of Jacob, have I caused to be burned with fire. And behold the city of Laman,and the city of Josh, and the city of Gad, and the city of Kish- kimmen have I caused to be burned with fire and the inhabitants thereof, because of their wickedness in casting out the prophets and stoniug those whom I did send to declare unto them concerning their wickedness and their abominations.’’ The cities of Copan, Uxmal, Ococuigo, City of Palaces, Chichen, Itza and Palaugue are among the numver ncw known to have been discovercd. Palanque is accredited as being the oldest city ol America. Great massive ruins of stonework, pxlaces, castles, aqueducts and other skillful works of masonry, some of which are imbedded with a heavy growth io huge timbers, now mark this feivilization of the past throughout Yucatan and adjoining country. La Plonjon isauthority for the state- ment of upwards of fifty such ciiies Laving al- ready been covered in Yueatan. The sacred resting pla~e of the goiden treas- ure containing the records of the piedecessors of the American Indian was revealed to Joseph Smith as follows: In the year 1824 Smith received a visitation from & heavenly messenger, who directed him to a place now kuown throughout the State of New York as Mormon Hill, and pointed out to him the sacred spot where the plates were concealed. He was permitied to take them fortn, and by the power of God he was enabled to translate the reformed Egyp- tian and Hebrew characters thereon engraved into the English language. Tne work was given tothe world in 1827 under the titleof “The Book of Mormon.” This was years be- fore any of the discoveries her in mentioned were made. Itpurports to be iLe history of a ruce of people who spreng from one Lehi, to whom a heavenly mess:nger appeared in Jeru- salem about fourteen years prior tothe de- struction of that ¢ity in the duys of Zedekish, King of Judah. According to his instruetions Lehi fled from the city and was miracuiously led by the hand of God through a wiiderness 10 the sex, where his people were commanded 1o build a ship. Huving accomplizhed this tusk they embarked for the promised lana, trust- ing the Almighty to guide them to their desti- nation. They landed, as near as can now be toid, on the coast of Guatemala. ere they built them cities, founded empires, grew, prospered and spread over all adjacent conntry and lending up to the time oi the coming of the Savior became very wicked. At the time of the death of our; Lord at Prlestine there were three ds«ys of total durkness in this land. Eartiquakes, tempests, tornadoes, etc., swept | over i.e lund, destroying many cities of tue wicked, s before reterred to. (See Book of Mormon, pages 495-7.) Jesus said to his Avostles'in Palestine jast prior to nis ascen- sion: “Other sheep have 1, which are not of this foid. Th y, too, I must visii, tbat there may be one foid and one shepherd” (John 'x:16). In accordance therewith, at the close of the three days’ darkness, he appeared to the people oa this contineut, teught them his gospel, seiected and ordained twelve apostles d organized his churca as he had done in Palestine. This church and organization continued 1n its perfection for 300 years and the people were righteous. At sbout that time they began to drift away from the doctrines of Christ into wickedness and abominations, until the white race were totally destroyed as a people. The last grest battie was fougnt near the place before referred to as Mormon Hill, where tte records were deposited at that time by the last writer, Moroni. Lehi was a descendant of the tribe of Jos-ph, through Ephraim. Shortly after their arrivel in the promised land two of the sons of Lehi rebelled agaiust their father and brotpers, becsme =8 rate people and finally made war '5"" m. The Lord revealed the fact to Lehi’s people that their enemies were coming against them in war and had gnimefl themselves red to ap- pear more terrible. He further said that if they should continue in their wickedness he would curse them and their posterity witu that color. Hence the color of the American ian. Presidio Athietic Grounds.
