12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1897. TO DO HONOR TO THE LADY REGENT. AGERLY and anxiously songht for E is the magic square of cardboard that will make the massive portals of the Hopkins Institute of Art swing back on their hinges and admit the favored pos- sessors to join in the gathering that is sure to mark an epoch in the history of the State University. Honor where honor is due seems to be the moving sentiment of those interested in the affair. The idea of honoring the first woman regent in California origin- ated with the ladies of the California branch of the Association of Coliegiate Alumn®. Mrs. A. F. Morrison, president of the alumnz, was the first to broach the subject, and she at once received the unanimous co-operation of all her fellow- members. Mrs, A. F, Morriscn, Then the alumni of the university begged leave to join and pay respect to Mrs. Hearst—she whom all love and esteem—and the result was the co-opera- tion of the alumnw and the alumni in furthering a reception in the lady’s honor on Saturday eveninz nexi between the hours of 8 and 11 o’clock. At ihe outset the affair was purely an educational one, but little by little it took on a social uspect, until now, judging by the invitational list, education, art ana society are so closely and intimately in- terwoven that it is difficuit to tell where one begins and the other leaves oft. Fifteen hundred invitaiions have al- ready been issued for the affair, but the demand hasso far exceeded the supply that the magic cards have given out and yesterday an order was given for 2000 more. Everything that good taste can suggest and wealth command is to be utilized in the adornment of the art palace. The conservatories of the park and tne well kept flower beds of the gardens in private mansions are to be robbed of their choicest flowers, and the cunning hand of Artist Matthews is to direct this arrange- ment. Henry Heyman is to take charge of the music. There isalso to be 8 programme of ex- ercises in which the University of Cali- fornia Board of Regents, the Alumna As- sociation and the Alumni Association will be represented in brief addresses to be de- livered by a representative member of each- Naturally the ladies who are going to attend have been anxiously consulting on the all-important subject of dress. Some are for evening dress, others again for re- ception gowns, but all are unanimous in declaring that hats—even the diminutive bonnets—are to be laid aside. Mrs. Hearst will be assisted in receiving by Mrs. A. F. Morrison, president of the association, and the past presidents of the alumne, Miss Sarah D. Hamlin, Miss Caroline Jackson, Miss Millicent Shinn, Mrs. William Keith, Mrs. May Chenery, (G i erssestoct £, - '/Z E O/Zl’//r)/? /7/%’/‘/////115’7///;#// %///b)nrl/l 1% e i “”l“““" b il NEW 7TO-DAY—DRY GOOD=<. 1897--FALL--1807 New Goods In All Department;.

DANGEROS T00LS MADE BY CONVICTS Jimmies Discovered in the Branch Jail Blacksmith- Shop. FOUXD BY ONE OF THE GUARDS. Several Criminals Are Now Under Strict Surveil- lance. HANUFACTURED FROM WAGON IRON. Precautions Are Being Taken to Pre- vent an Outbreak in the Jail, Captain Clarkson, superintendent of the House of Correction, is very much worrted over a discovery that was made within the walls of the institution over which he has charge yesterday. Ever since Jjoseph Theron, a desperate criminal, made his break for liberty sev- eral weeks ago and was brought back at the muzzies of the guards’ guns a close watch bas been kept on those who were believed to be interested 1n the attempted jail break, and more than usual vigilance has been exercised.

Yesterday a startling discovery was made. Guard Strand, who was instructed tosearch the blacksmith-shop, was about to leave the building when he remem- bered that he had failed to inspect a heap of junk in one corner. Returning he peered about the mass, and, in a dark re- cess where they would be least likely to be discovered, found two jimmies, such s burglars use when breaking into premises that they desire to rob, and which might well be used 1n onening the doors that serarate the criminals of the House of Correction from liberty. The two implements had been manu- factured out of the iron used'in repairing wagons, and were eviaently the work of an expert, Guard Strand at once reported his find to Captain Ciarkson and a watch was put on the men who were recently at work in the shop. The superintendent declined to say whom he suspected, but stated that until the mystery was cleared up several of his charges would be under a constant watch. Bberiff Whelan was inclined to make light of the matter, but he was evidently desirous of preventing anything happen- ing in the jail, as he ordered Captain Clarkson to make a thorough investigation, MINOOK CREEK NOT RICH, North Fork Arrivals Say the Reports of Strikes Are Falge. Two people to bring late news from the Alaska gold fields are Dr. G. W. McKin- non and Henry C. Deering, who arr.ved overland yesterday from Tacoma and regl istered at the Grand Hotel. Both hai- from Eureka and were passengers for the Klondike on the steamer National City which sailed from tbtis city on August 7. Deering was formerly the head accountant for the Excelsior Red- wood Company, and in company with Dr. McKinnon took with him a steam launch and a large boat 10 make the ascent of the Yukon. Br. Michael was reached August 21 ana the voyage up the river begun August 28. An Indian pilot was hired to pilot the leunch and its accompanying tow of the big boat filled with provisions and sup- plies through the shifty channels of the stream. All went well the first 350 miles of the long journey. At this point the Indian pilot lost his head during a storm, with the result that the provision boat foundered and Deering and McKinnon were obliged to return wo St. Michael, whence they arrived on the steamer Norih Fork at Tacoma two days ago, ‘It was a serions disasier tous when the provision boat foundered,” said Dr. Me- Kinnon, *'as I am very sure we wowd have reached Dawson this year. We had a splendid outfit and food enough to last us a year, but probably it is ju:t as well that matters turned out as they did, for 1 believe that there will be famine in the Klondike diggings this year or else all signs will fail. *‘I do not believe the stories that have been printed about the rich strikes on the Minook. I talked with one.man who had mined two years on this creek and hs told At present there are about 1500 people in that ais- trict, but most of them are there from necessity rather taan from choice, fearing to proceed further up the Yukon with the prospects of a famine at Dawson, “There is plenty of provisions at this point, and the people there are sure of plenty to est, even if they do not find any g?ldfiwhlcb is a much brighter condition of a airs than that which confronts the Daw-on millionaires. All kinds of craft are comiag down the river from Dawson laden with people who have deserted the country for the winter in order that they may be sure of provisions." —_—— Married at £t. Mary’s.

RULES CALL FOR A FINISHED BOUT O'Rourke Talks About the Scientific Battle Between the Lads. DAL HAWKINS WANTS A Go AT SMITH Solly Ready to Meet Any Man in His Olass—White, Black or Yellow, The decision "Smith wins,” rendered by George Green, the referes of the Smith- Dixon fight on Monday night, doss not deprive Dixon of the feather-weight cham- pionship of the worid as many suppose. ‘While the London prize-ring rules, which provided that championship bat- les should be fought with bare knuckles are obsolete, the Marquis of ‘Queensberry rules stipulate thatall championship bat- tles shall be to a finish., It was for this reazon that Corbett and Fitzsimmons fought at Carson and where the contest was not limited to any given number of rounds. Had Smith knocked Dixon out in any one of the twenty rounds in Morday night's battle, or had Dixon’s seconds thrown up the sponge, or had Dixon failed to respond to the call of time in any of the rounds, Smith would 10-day be the feather-weicht champion of the world. But as it was, Dixon at the end of the twentieth round was strong and belli-er- ent, consequentiy he did not surrender the championship by Green’s decision. T]ha decision was on points and nothing else. In order that Smith may acquire the feather-weight championship of the world he must fight and lick Dixon to & finish, whether it be in one round or 100 rounds. here was much talk last night in sporiing resorts about a match between Solly 8mith and Dal Hawkins. O'Rourke, Dixon’s manager, said that be would like to see the men meet, and if they came together his money would be placed on Hawkins. “I am satistied,” said he, “‘that Hawkins can do Smith.” Hawkins on being seen said: *I will fight Smith at catchwoights and wager from $1000 to $5000 on the side that I can lick him in twenty rounds. Iam willin to fight him before the club offering the largest purre.’”’ It is cuslomary, however, for the cbal- lenging party to put up a forfeit, thus showing that he means business. Smith, on being seen, said; 1 am wille ing to fight any man in my class, be he | white, black or yellow. I bar none. I| am a feather-weight, fighting at 120 pounds. Hawkins isaligit lightweight. If ne will come to my weight I will cover his money and fight before any club offer- ing a purse, whether it be big or small. Fighting is my business.” The following were paid attendance and the receipts at Monday night's fight, as furnished by O’Rourke: 1164 in gallery, §2 seats. 344 85 seat 1085 83 se Total... The money was disbursed as follows: Club. Smit Dizon. Total Peter Jackson, the colored heavy-weight champion, was one of the many friends of Dixon who thought that the colorea lad was entitled to a draw at least. Pater was feeling a little bit mellow vesterday when he expressed his opinion to several inter- ested people who were anxious to learn what th= great fighting general thought of the referee’s decision. *This man Smith is g great little tighter, I must confess,’ said Juckson, “but waiched the contest from start to finish as close asany observer and [ can assure you that I failed to see where Swmith scored any advantage over Dixon until the gong sounded the finish of the twentieth round. “Possibly Smith may have proven him- self a shade stronger than Dixon in the last few rounds of the mill, but, from an unprejudiced point of view, I cannot say that ne scored any more points than his opponent. I think a draw would have given verv general satisfaction.”’ Tom O’Rourke, the manager and confi- dential adviser of Georg» Dixon and his stable companion, Joe Walicott, does not feel very pleasantly disposed toward the referee, George Green. O'Rourke said: *“I mentioned Green among ral others when selecting a referee as being a man whom I thought would render a just and honest decision, and when I consider what I had done in the premises L now feel somewhat sur- prised that Smith accepted Green as his choice so readily. ‘1f a finish fight cannot be arranged, I will back Dixon u‘fifin in a twenty-round contest with 8mith, provided, of course, we can agree upon a referee. Green may be a good fighter in the ring, but as a ref- eree he is as green on the points of the game as an emerala toothpick.” Speaking of the next great contest, which wiil be decided at the Mechanics’ Pavilion in the iatter part of this month, O'Rourke saia that he would be a littie more particular in his selection of a referee, ment stipulates that igne and Walcott, or their respective anagers, must meet on the day of the evening of the mill and select a referee, and in case they cannot agree upon any one person the president ot the Occidental Club (Young Mitcheil), under whose auspices the fighters will contest, will have the power to name the man who will referee the match. - Dixon was around town yesterday feel- | ing very sore mentally and physically. He tried to drown his sorrow in pouring spirits down to keep his spirits up. He exhibited a shanty over his right eye, but with the exception of his facial adorn- ment he said that he was perfectly sound of body and eager for anotherbrush at his game and bard-hitting opponent. Solly Smith did not show a sign of pun- ishment yesterday. He had very litile to say of the ficht.” He spent the greater part of the day at his sister's residence, d when asked if he would fight Dixon again he said that fighting was his busi- nessand that first come would be the first pe 3 ou must remember,”’ said Smith, “that I am a featherweight and am ready to defend that title. I co not propose to fight men who are outside of my class, otherwise I would, perhaps, issue a chal- lenge to Fiizsimmons,” and Smith winked. “If Dixon can arrange a fight to a finish I will be on hand in time o see Lim. Any old kind of a fight will be ac- ceptabie to me. I whipped him good and fair Monday night and there is no one who knows that better than himself. If we ever meet in a finish fight he will be the man who will strike the floor firsts YOM KIPPOR USHERED IN The Hebrew Day of Atone- ment Began at 6 0'clock Last Evening, To-Day Will Be Devoted to Fasting and Prayer by the Faithful Jews, Solemn Sunset Services Were Held at All the Synagogues Last Night. The Hebrew Day of Atonement was ushered 1n last evening with services in ail the temples of this city, whichat 6 o'clock were comfortably filled, and at half-past that hour were so crowded as to make ingress and egress a matter of aiffi- cuity. As was to be expected on the eve of what is to the Israelite a day of days, the cantorsof the varioussynagogues had been at great pains in attention to the musical details of their services. These were well rendered by competent choirs of mixed voices, accompanied on the organ. The synagogue services will be resume d at an early hour this morning—in some cases, at daybreak—and during the day sermons touching the celebration will be delivered by the rabbis. All of thesynagogues are especially dec- orated for the occasion and present a beautiful appearance. The altars are draped with white satin and silk altar- cloths fringed with gold, while in front of the arks of the covenant, in which rest the manuscript scrolls of the law, are hung spotless white cartains. The platforms upon which the altars stand are all pro- fusely adorned with white cut flowers and at the services the cantors and rabbis wore white robes. From the predom- inance of white, emblematic of the purity of the day, it might well be called the | “white feast.”” The Duay of Atonement, *“Yom Kippur,” ‘was begun at 7:30 4 t night at the Con. were impressive and the congregation that attended was larger than that of any other synagogue. Rabbi Voorsanger chose for his text Micah vi:2—'‘Hear ye, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and ye stron foundations of the earth, for the ans hath a controversy with his people, and with Israel will he plead. * * * QO my people, what have 1 done for thee?” The sermon, though long, ‘was very in- teresting. 3 The music for these services was written by E. J. Stark, the cantor. The choir was composed of sevenfeen voices, those who ng solos beinz Mrs. 8. Reynolds, Miss sy Cohen, Mr. A. Werner and S. Homer Healey. Besides these there was a large string orchestra, which rendered the traditional and ancient obligato, “Ki Nidre,” modernized by Cantor Stark, The services will close to-day at 5:30. At 3 o'clock this afternoon there will be special memorial services, at which the special orchestra will render selections. The requiem this afternoor will be “Why art thou cast down?” : The chief feature of the atonement services held at the Sherith Israel syna- gogue was the reintroduction of the old traditional melodies o dear to Jowish “@(892. %o 1L 113, 115, 117, 119, 121 POST STHec (. G hearts. Services opened at 6:30 with an organ prelud -, Kol Nidre,” followed by “Ma Tovu” by cantorand choir. The “Kol Nidre” was then rendered by cantor and choir, after which tne hymn of the occa- sion, I Will Pardon, Saith the Lord,” was sung. The musical programme included the follofring numbers: “Ahavath ’'Olam,” “Mi Chomocho,” tenor solo_and chorus, *‘Hashkivenu,” *Foron This Day Ye Shall Atone”; Cantor solo, “O God, Have Mercy,”’ by Mendelssohn; *‘Ya-ale,” tra- ditional melody; anthem, “Hear Me When I Call”; “Ki Onu,” *Oshamnu’” and “Yigda!” arranged from Mendelssohn. The title of Rabbi Nieto’sdiscourse was “The Recollections of Our Child hood and Youth.” Inthecourse of hisremarksthe rabbi said: *So great indeed did the an- cient Hebrews esteem the potency of the awakening of the recollections of ~arly life that the figure and face of the child was placed in positions made conspicuous by the sanctity of the vessels in close prox- imity to them. Above the ark in which reposed the testimony of God’s covenant with lsrael rested the figures of children. This was to signify to the people that the innocence of children stood nearer the throne of God than the evidence of man fettered to loyalty by a succession of oaths and penalties. Above the lion and oxen that supported the biazen sea in Sol- | omon’s Temple were superimposed the facesof children. This taught the people that even though purity were incased in firmness and upheld by strength and with dignity, yetis the simplicity of childhood nearer to the pure state we conceivs to be God than all that man deems great or noble. The congrezation Onhabai Shalome at- tenaed the Bush-street Temple in large numbers, ana listened to sn excellent iec- ture by Rabbi Isadore Myers on *The Writing on the Wall.” Tne singing was conducted by Rev. D. Meyersiein as can- tor, and he was assisted by Rev. J. Hirsh. The choir was composed of Mme. Eva Tenney, Mrs. Sarah Bienenfeld, Mrs. Olive Reed Cushman, Miss Maude Frank, Willis Bachelder, J. H. Lawrence and Charles L. Parent. On the altar with the rabbi and the can- tor sat Joseph Schmidt, the president, and Philip Stern, the vice-president of the congregation, The two lectures by Rabbi Myers to-day will be delivered at 11 and 2:15. The first will be from the subject “‘Confession,” and the last will consist of aspecially pre- pared memorial service for the dead. At the temple Beth-Menachim Sireisand five boys—Masters Bloom, Rice, Coln- feld, Cohn and Frankiin—assisied Messrs. E'kin Samuelson, A. Letkovitz and bL Passur, the regular choir, in the chants. President Isaic Baer, Vice-President A. M, Jacobs and Secretary S.J. Levy had the management of the services. The well-known and much-admired Rev. Hy- man Samueison was the cantor and lead the singing. Rabbi M. 8. Levy of the congregation Beth Israel spoke on *‘Spiritual Cleanli- ness.”” At the aliar with him were the president, 8. Peckerman, an't S. Myrson, who took the place of the vice-bresident, Marcus Levy, who was unable to be pres- ent on account of ill.ess. Rev. J. Rabi- owitz acted as cantor. The services to-day end the ‘‘Ten Days of Penitence,’’ and at 6 o'clock this even- ing a singie blast from the ‘“shophar’—a trumpet made from the horn of a ram— will annouhce to the faithful that their souls are pure, their sins forgiven. The feast of the tabernacle follows next Mon- day, and a week .from that comes the feast of “‘Rejoicing oftne Law.” g L Day of Atonement.
