12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1897 VON LAURELS BY HARD STUDY The University Regents Confer Degrees on Graduates. Twenty-One Students Com- pleted Their Studies This Term. Members Favor the Bill Providing for Additional Copyright Depositories. A special meeting of the Regents of the State University was held yester- day afternoon to confer degrees on the students who were graduated this term. Regent James F. Houghton was elected chairman, and he briefly an- nounced the object of the meeting. Regent Martin Kellogg, president of the University of California, then pre- sented a list of the graduates and rec- ommended that the following degrees | be conferred on them: Bachelor of Arts—George Ulysses Moyse, Rivera, Cal. Master of Arts—Minnie Reynolds, Bryn Mawr, Pa. Bachelor of Letters, College of So- cial Sclences—Cecilla Brownlee Cron- ise, San Francisco; Cecll Jones, Berkeley, Cal.; Mary Crooke McCleave, Berkeley, Cal. Beatrice Bachelor of Philosophy, College of Social Sciences—Emilie Aniser, Napa, Cal.; John Finley Baldwin, Danville, Ohio; May Colman, San Francisco, Cal.; Emily Olga Rosenstirn, Berke- ley, Cal.; Mae Smith, Oakland, Cal. Walter Augustus Starr, Oakland, Cal.; Annie Whitley, Berkeley, Cal.; Louise S. Wilson, San Francisco, Cal.; Samuel Austin Wood Jr., San Francisco, Cal.; Ben F.

Bachelor Chemistry—Nealy of Sclence, College of Harris, San Fran- 0, Cal. Bachelor of Science, College of Ag- alture—Henri Theodore Antoine Alameda, Cal. dent Kellogg on behalf of the faculty were conferred by a unanimous vote. Regent Hallidie then called atten- tion to the fact that there were no geals attached to the diplomas. President Kellogg said that the uni- versity was not provided with seals for the use of the different depart- ments of the college, although it had been recommended in his last report that seals be provided. Re, t Hallidie moved that the sec- reta of the board be instructed to confer with the faculty of the differ- ent departments and provide appro- priate Is. The motion was carried after a brief discusslon. President Kellogg asked that the oard sanction the publication of the Tniversity Chronicle,” the object of which nouncement: The University Chronicle is intend- ed to furnish a record of such events in the life of the university as may be of general interest. It will contain re- ports of occasional addresses, corre- epondence concerning additions to the funds or equipment of the institution, notices and reviews of the meetings of the various scientific and literary associations and such other informa- | tion as ought to have a place in a current account of the progress of the university. It will be issued six times @ year, and the contents of each num- 1 will ordinari be drawn from the events of the two months preceding the date of publication; but in the first number it has been thought advisable to present a selection from the more {mportant addresses and correspond. ence pertaining to a longer period. Kellogg sald that all of the promi- nent universities throughout the world have similar publications, and he believed that with the subscrip- tions and advertisements the Univer- v Chronicle could be published at a yearly cost not to exceed $600. On motion of Regent Denicke it was decided to authorize the publication of the journal, the first number of which w appear in the early part of next month. Regent Ma urging the repr e offered resolutions >ntatives from Cali- fornia at Washington to assist in the passage of the bill presented by Sena- tor Perkins providing for the estab- lishment of additional copyright de- positories in the cities of San Fran- cisco, Denver, Chicago and New Or- 1 ans. The resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote. The meeting then adjourned after passing a resolution of thanks to Louis Janin for a donation of 100 works on metallurgy to the university library. SHOULD OUTFIT HERE. A Pointed Remark Regarding the Grasping Proclivities of Northern Cities. of the Secretary Carman Alaska Trade Committee telegraphed yester- | day from Cheyenne as follows: “Our party en route to Chicago was given a reception here by Governor Richards of Wyoming, Mayor Schnit- ger, a delegation of citizens and a large number of representative citizens upon our arrival here. Governor Rich- ards, Mayor Schnitger, the Secretary of State, the District Attorney and the editors of the Cheyenne papers made addresses in honor of the occasion, which were responded to by Governor Shaekley and Secretary Carman. The interest in the Klondike gold flelds and BSan Francisco’s inducements to miners to outfit there increases as we go fur- ther East. There is a continual stream of visitors through our car and much interest is taken in the display. Every town en route is alive with people who are seeking information about the new gold fields and the means of transpor- tation and best place to purchase sup- plies. . e F. W. Sensiba, who recently went from Stevenson to Seattle, writes the Journal of the latter place a letter, in which he says that “in a grasping sense Chicago during the World's Fair was a paradise compared to Seattle.” He advises those who contemplate going to Alaska to go by way of San Fran- cisco, as everything is much cheaper there and the residents are more hon- est and humane.

The Methodist Chinese Mission at 916 Washington street was crowded Monday night with both whites and Mongolians to be entertained by the festive and generous Santa Claus. The little brown skinned tots were Just as happy and as entertaining in their joy over the many presents about to be bestowed upon them as the children of the white race under similar circumstances. The enter- tainment was got up for the chil- dren of the Sabbath School under the superintendency of Mrs. Lake and her daughter, Miss Margarita Lake, who, with Mrs. 1. Hull, conducted the en: tertainment last night. The Rev. Chan Hon Fan, the or- dained pastor of the church, was there as happy apparently as any man could be over the little Christian youths under his charge who were there to learn from him something about the America man's religion, as they express it. The prelude as laid down for night's entertainment was set in the following argumen: Several children agree to sit up and ses Santa Claus when he comes to fill their stockings. Having made their plans, they hang up their s&ock.lnl!. and retire, three being l%pnln!e to watch and give the word to the others when he arrives. | When all is quiet the chimney elyes steal | stealthily down the chimney and pin on the stocking the record they have kept of the children’s conduct throughout the | year. At 12 o'clock Santa Claus comes. The children burst into the room and layfully take him prisoner, tying him nto an armchair with popcorn rope, | Santa Claus Is so pleased with the recor of the children that as a reward he al- | lows them to see his fairjes, Jack Frost and the children’s Snow Man being called in to add to the amusement. As a final contribution to the fun, Santa Claus or- ders his wonderful Christmas pie to be to the delight of the last forth brought, which, i lldgen, 18 opened and found to be full very lively singing fruits. The following programme was | | | faithfully carried out by the children assigned for that purpose: Introduction; “O, We Are Sleepy Chil- dren’ “What to Have for Christmas | Fun: ~Song to the Fairles”; “Good | Night! Good Night!": “Hear the Jingle on the Roof"; “In Chinks of the Chim- | neys”; ~*Song of the Frost Fairies' “Song of the Snow Man”; “‘Once. in Lowly Manger”; “Sing a Song of Chris mas’’; “A Merry Christmas We Have Had. THEY CHEERED | SANTA CLAUS Christmas Tree Festival of the | Children of the Day ! Homes. Interesting Musical and Literary En- | tertainment Rendered at the Auditorium. Fairles and gnomes, tinsel and | gauze, and then Santa Claus, and what cheering that Santa Claus got! | These were the principal attractions at the Christmas tree festival given to the children of the Day Home by | the Sisters of the Holy Family at the | Auditorium yesterday. At least three hundred little tots were there whose mothers work dur- ing the day and the sisters take care of during the working hours. After their little entertainment, which was extremely clever, Santa Claus was ushered in with the song, “Santa Claus Is Coming,” and sure enough he did come and with loads of good things. It was a pathetic sight to see the lit- tle tots of 2 and 3 cry to him that they | were there. Surely never before had | they seen such a beautiful sight. And | then came the distribution—they | hugged to their hearts the toys they received, dolls and candy for the girls | and balls and tops and other toys for | the boys. After they returned to the convents the sisters gave them presents of clothes, which, though more practical, | did not seem as good to their little eyes. The programme was as follows: Chorus, ‘‘Adeste Fidelis,” sewing class; address; chorus, ‘““Welcome,” children; “‘Birdle’'s Ball,” girls’ kindergarten class recitation, “Hurrah for the Overalls, boys’ kindergarten class; chorus, “The Children’s Day,” children; “Little House- malds,” girls’ kindergarten class; select- ed chorus, “Our Flag,” boys; fairfes at | play, by the childre Christmas _ bell drill, sewing class; recitation, “Three Little Toadstools,” three kindergarten children; story of the birth of Christ and tableau of nativity, sewing class; chorus, | “Santa Claus Is Coming,” children; | Santa Claus among the boys; distribu- tion of toys; Mrs. A. B. Collins, piano accompanist. ———— ROBBERY ALLEGED. | Two Saloonkeepers Have Trouble Over the Result of a Game of Poker. Daniel Zehnder, a saloon-keeper at Twelfth and Folsom streets, swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday morning for the ar- rest of James Bonney, a saloon-keep- er at 1800 Mission street, on the charge of robbery. Zehnder alleged that Monday after- noon about b o’clock Bonney came to | his saloon and joined in a game of poker with himself and three other men. After playing for two hours Bonney quit a loser of $20. A few minutes later Bonney re- turned to the saloon in a state of ex- citement. Zehnder was behind the bar and there was no one else in the saloon. Bonney sald, “If you don't give me back my money I will Kkill you, and he struck Zehnder a blow in the eye. He then jumped over the counter and, picking up a beer glass, again threatened to kill Zehnder if he did not give him at least $10. Zehnder, being afraid of his life, gave him the $10 and he went away. Bonney was arrested yesterday afternoon and released on $1000 bonds. —_———— @ Sovereign Remedy.

Daniel Nicholson, conductor on a Turk-street car, living at 1206 Steiner street, swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the ar- rest of “John Doe” on a charge of bat- tery. Nicholson stated that he got into a dispute Monday night with & pas. senger who abused him for not stopping the car at Larkin street. Nicholson de- nied that the man stop and the man called him a liar. Nicholson i&gt hot and retorted “You're another.” Then “John Doe” smote him on the face twice, jumped off the car and disappeared.

THE STORY OF THE MISTLETOE BOUGH It s Told in Pantomine and Song at a Christmas Festival. Annual Entertainment of the Sunday- school of the First Unitarian Church. The mistletoe hung in the castle hall, The holly-branch shone on the old wall. The sad little story of the mistletoe bough, told in song, and Interpreted by pantomime, was a feature of the annual Christmas festival of the Sun- day-school of the First Unitarian Church held last night at Golden Gate Hall. The cozy little hall was filled with the parents and friends of the little ones and those who assisted in the entertainment. The first scene of the pantomime was in the castle hall, all the friends and retainers of the Baron particl- pating in a general jollification in honor of the wedding of the Baron's daughter, Geneva, to Lord Lovell. The guests are all dancing and singing and the scene closes with a pretty minuet, and the bride runs away to hide. The second scene shows the same people many years later; the husband now old and feeble makes the horrify- ing discovery of the reason of his wife's disappearance. Opening an old chest, he finds a bit or satin and a tat- tered veil. The children no longer mock him, he has found his bride. The curtain falls, and it takes the light and dancing to dispel the momentary gloom that fell over all at the close of the sorry little story. During the pan- tomime, Miss Edith Hanks sang “The Mistletoe Bough.” The first part of the programme was devoted tc the rendering of the Grosse Kinder Symphony by Romberg. The musicians, twenty-three in number, were under the direction of Samuel Savannah. The following young peo- ple took part in the symphony: Violins—Mrs. Charles A. Gwynn, Miss Florence Lipsher, Miss Ethel Bune- mann, Miss Laura Taylor, Miss Louise Howland, Miss Rena Bunemann, Howard Morto: O e Packien. Haxty Cellos—Miss Strelitz.

The Secretary of the Treasury Decldes That Dr. Rosenau Holds the Fort. The war between the State and the Federal quarantine authorities was ter- minated yesterday by the receipt of a letter of instructions from the Secre- tary of the Treasury to Dr. Chalmers, the State officer. The letter read as follows: Referring to your recent visit, and to the complaint made in your telegram that Passed Assistant Surgeon Rosenau had refused to fumigate malls from the steamer Peru, as requested by yourself, by order of the Municipal Board of Health, and inquiry if this is not a faifl- ure to co-operate and ald under section 3 of the United States Quarantine Regu- lations, you are informed that the Presi- dent having detailed Passed Assistant Surgeon Rosenau as Quarantine Officer at the port of San Francisco, in accord- ance with the act of Congress, afirmed February 15, 1893, said officer is the sole judge of his duties in the matter to Which you make reference, and is sub- ject to orders only from his superfor offi- cers in this department. e — FRESH WATER ON GOAT ISLAND. Cisterns and a Pumping Plant Being Constructed. | | | Utah | 400 Bullton . For nearly a year a big force of men | has been at work constructing a water supply system at the light house | station on Goat Island. There are a number of warehouses at the station | filled with supplies for the numerous lighthouses of the California district, and they have been almost totally un- protected from fire. Thousands of dol- lars’ worth of material is kept stored in the building, and much of it is the finest kinds of illuminating oils used for the lights of the beacons and should fire once get started in the warehouses the whole station would be wiped out before help could be summoned from the city. A. Balantyne has charge of the work of construction. Fresh water for the use of the keepers of the sta- | tion is caught on the roofs of the build- ings when it rains and stored in the cisterns. That is the only way of get- ting fresh water on the island. From the cistern it is pumped to a reservoir that is now almost completed on the brow of the hill just back of the light- house. The reservoir will have a ca- pacity of about 108,000 gallons. The cistern is calculated to hold about 200,- 000 gallons more, and it is thought that enough fresh water can be caught and stored in the reservoir and cistern during the gvinter months to last the year through. Hydrants are being set about the bufldings in convenient places in case of fire, and they are connected with the fresh water supply and also with pipes by which they can be supplied with salt water that can be pumped direct from the bay. Children’s books, games and dolls are closing out rapidly at Sanborn & Vail's. * —_————— A CHINESE SUICIDE. Rather Than Become Insolvent He Cut His Throat. As Charles H. Hanke of 702 Powell street was going to his dally tofl at a quarter to 7 o'clock yesterday morning he found a Chinaman covered with blood and gasping, with a gaping wound in his throat. By the dying man’s side lay a penknife, with the large blade open and bloody. Mr. Hanke telephoned for the police, and when they arrived the Chinaman was found alive. He was taken to the City Recelving Hospital, where he ex- pired shortly afterward. The Coroner took charge of the body and of the papers and other things found on the corpse. Among them wns an account in Chinese showing that he wae $261 In debt. A New Year visiting card, bearing the name Chang Kung Fuen, which afterward proved to be his own, and a certificate of member- ship in a highbinder organization, were a'so found. With these was au red paper, on which some one had written, “Ask Wah Hing Lung; they know all about it.” The secretary of the Chinese Consul translated the papers for the Coroner, and gave it as his opinfon that the deceased had committed suicide. Chang Yen, the brother of the dead man, in- formed the Coroner that the deceased had been suffering from an incurable disease and that he was very despond- ent over his failure to pay his debts before the Chinese New Year. He was a vegetable peddler, and left his room | ¥. Gould&Curry.. at midnight. The knife with which the deed was done was identified as that belonging to the deceased. ——————————— Galifornia Chapter Elects Officers.
