McNally Gives Learned Discourse Upon the Ethics of Government. At mass to-day there were special pray- ers said by the congregation of St. Pat- rick’s Church, led by the pastor, the Rev. k3 McNally. During the sermon this evening the pastor gave a learned dis- course upon the “Ethics of Government and the Governed.” He referred to the shooting of the President in the follow- | ing words: The Government of our country is a sacred and divine institution. Such Government is necessary for the preservation of right order in society, and right order in soclety is legisla- tion of the divine mind of God in the exercise of his act of wisdom as well as omnipotence in the creation of humanity into a rational and responsible spirit like unto himself. The President might be called the chairman of the caretakers of soclety. As such he holds a place of power and responsibility which comes to him from God, who is the source of all_power. The mind that plots to nullify the effect of the President's power and office, much less to take away his life, can aspire to no higher place in the scale of principle and purity than the mind of Satan, who sought to dethrone his God and atlated only in the eternal ruin and destruction of the angels. No won- der on last Friday that the world was col vulsed at the reports of the attempt & ture itself must have shuddered at the shock. And that the voice of sorrow, commingled condemnation, was heard United States from the remotest cor- > inhabitable world is 2 good sign not a positive proof that 's divine order will prevail and anarchy and such 1l go down where such damnable ideas ived in the hell of the powers of is_manifestly the duty of every citizen of the United States who loves liberty and fol- lows truth and justice by the lights of reason and religion to constitute himself a committee of one as a sentinel ‘‘with eternal vigilance' to hunt down anarchists and such like ene- jes of real liberty, truth and freedom. m!

HAYWARDS, Sept. §.—Charles Reese of this place was shot accidentally while hunting for deer in the Calaveras can- van back of Sunol to-day. The wound is sericus, but not necessarily fatai. Charles Reese and Charles Allen left for the Calaveras canyon, where many deer have been seen lately, on Saturday night with a wagon. They left thelr wagon and were working their way over the hillside when they came to a fence. Allen went over first, and Reese handed his rifie to Allen while he climbed over. In some way the rifle was discharged, the bullet striking Reese in the wupper part of the left arm and coming out at the shoulder, striking the bone, but not shattering it. He kad to walk a mile and a half until they reached their wagor, and was then driven by Allen to Milpitas, where a doctor dressed the wound.

FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED BY ALAMEDA COUPLE Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Jacobs, Who Were United in New York City and Journeyed to California in Early Days, Observe, With Friends and Relatives About Them, Half Century Mark of Happy Married Life B LAMEDA, Sept. 8—Fifty years ago to-day the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Jacobs was cele- brated in New York City. This afternoon the golden anniversary. of that happy occasion was joyfully ob- served by that now aged but hale couple and their many relatives and friends in the pretty cottage home of the Jacobses at 1319 Pacific avenue. From 2 to G o'clock a reception was held. Callers were present from Sacra- mento, San Francisco, Oakland and other cities. All of them wished Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs “many happy returns of the day.” The venerable host and hostess greeted every guest with a cordial word and a warm clasp of the hand and entered into the spirit of the anniversary with the zest and enthusiasm of a bridal pair. In harmony with the golden occasion, the house decorations were of that hue. Yellow coreopsis, with huckleberry as a background, ornamented the parlors, halls and reception-room. ° Mrs. Al Jacobs and Miss Lizzle Jacobs, the only children of the honored couple, assisted in recelving and providing every hospitality for the visitors. During the afternoon an informal programme of mu- sical and literary numbers was given. Miss Esther Nathan of Sacramento ren- dered a piano solo, Miss Celia Jacobhs of San Francisco recited, Mrs. Al Jacobs was heard in a vocal Selection and Miss Nettie Israel of this city entertained with several Instrumental selections. At 6 o'clock dinner was served, at which thirty relatives of the Jacobs family sat down. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs were born in London, FEngland. With their parents they came to America in their youth and were reared in New York. Shortly after attaining their majority, in the year 1851, they met at the home of friends in the metropolis. Their friendship grew into something_ stronger, and before the ex- p_‘rg(iun of the year they had been mar- ried. Mr. Jacobs came to California in 1853, accomplishing the journey via the isthmus after many trials. Arriving in Sacra- mento in the latter part of 1853 he en- gaged in business. When he had become firmly established his wife came to the coast. Their three children, the eldest of — e AGED COUPLE WHO BECAME RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA IN THE EARLY DAYS AND WHO YESTERDAY CELEBRATED THEIR GOLD- EN WEDDING, SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. i whom was a son whose death brought the first_sorrow inlo the lives of the aged couple, were born in Sacramento.

BERKELEY, Sept. 8—The Sports and Pastimes Club of the University of Cali- fornia women students held its first meet- ing yesterday afternoon and outlined Tennis, boat- ing, bagket-ball and archery will be at- tempted under competent direction. Miss Stoer '01 is ex-officio president of the Co-ed Athletic Association. Other officers will be elected next Tuesday. The candi- dates are Misses G. Davidson and N. Hol- lenberg for treasurer and Miss R. T. Moore for secretary. ‘The Women's Feld Club is planning a series of tramps to places of local inter- est. The first jaunt will take place to- morrow, the destination being Joaquin Miller’s ' home. A remarkable falling oft n the percent- age of women students is reported by Re- corder Sutton, who has just completed compiling the statistics of the new fresh- man class. The class of 1905 has 42 per cent ‘‘co-eds,” which is 7 per cent less than the number in the class of 19%4. This is all the more noteworthy when it is re- membered that this year's class is fully 7 per cent larger than last year’s. This sudden decrease in ' the attendance of women students iIs unprecedented in the history of the university. Heretofore the ‘women have entered in such numbers that they threatened for a time to outnumber the men. The change is considered sig- nificant, though the causes are difficult to determine. ‘Endeavorers at Baseball.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 8. The Oriental block, on the northwest corner of Seventh and Washington streets, was :hreatened with destruction by fire to-night, which worked §15,000 damage before it was checked. Two alarms of fire were sounded. At 8:30 o'clock the department called to the Liberty bakery, $57 Wash- ington _street, where a big pot of hot grease had boiled over, setting the base- ment kitchen ablaze in an instant. The bakers had barely time to escape before the place was a roaring furnace. The fire worked upstairs into the hotel, and smoke added to the damage. The firemen saved the building by hard effort and the flames_were_confined in greater part to the bakery, but this was destroyed. Clem Martin, the owner, is absent from the city and the amount of his insurance was not_available.. His loss will reach $10,000. The fire worked into Robert Vin- cent’s butcher shop, at 853 Washington street. Smoke did much damage there, as well as to Christensen & Shaw's sa- loon, at 81 Washington street. At the same number is C. E. Quigley’s cigar store, which was slightly damaged by smoke. William Heyers’ 'saloon, 859 V{ashmgton street, and his residence up- stairs were filled with smoke. The hotel bullding Is owned by A. Bocqueraz. His loss will be for repairs. The proprie- tors of the hotel are Henri Cammas and Plerre Rouguet, who recently purchased it for $3000. They carried insurance on the furniture. Water and smoke caused thelr 10ss, except where fire broke thm‘\‘xsh the walls from the bakery kitchen. It being early in the evenin, fire broke out, few of the hotel occupants were asleep, and the firemen and police had no_difficulty in alarming every one in the building. All of the storekeepers carry insurance, so the net loss will not be very heavy.

C., Sept. 8—The steamer Tartar, arriving from the Orient to-day, brought news of a mutiny and wholesale murder on board the American steamer Belgika, whose home port is Ma- nila. The steamer was manned by Las- cars, and when they refused to work the captain turned on them and attempted | to drive them to their duty at the point of a revolver. The natives must have thought the skipper was bluffing, as they became defiant and a free fight ensued. Captain Velasco, the chief officer and several white seamen fell upon the na- tives with any sort of weapon that came handy, but the superior numbers of the yellow deviis won In the end, for every one of the whites were murdered and their bodies thrown overboard. Well knowing that retribution would follow their work the mutineers abandoned the Belgika after casting loose her moorings. She was found several days after by a United States gunboat. The Belgika was then adrift and in a helpless condition. As her decks presented every evidence of foul play having been committed the gunboat took her in tow and into the harbor of Cebu. At Cebu a new crew was secured and the Belgika proceeded to Manila. The Belgika is a vessel of 495 tons, and generally carried a crew of about fifty. Not long ago she was in trouble in Ma- nila for having left that port without clearance papers. The gunboat has gone out to look for the mutineers, who are supposed to have been in league with out- slde pirates, for they looted the vessel and carried off everything of value.

Meetings have been held every Sunday for several weeks in order to accomplish | an organization, but nothing could be done until a constitution and by-laws had ; been drawn up under which to work. That was finally accomplished to-day. The constitution and by-laws are mod- eled upon the general organizing laws of the unions, and provide for the usual of- fications. To become a member of one of the clubs of the Union Labor party a man must be a citizen of the United States and must be affiliated with some labor union. This was done in order to prevent any but union men from controlling the clubs. There being no approaching election in Alameda County this is only a club or- ganizatior to be maintained until next year, when it is proposed to take part in the general State election.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 8.— The faculty committee has decided that arbitration in the case of John T. Nourse, the treasurer of the student body, is im- possible. They have given to Ralph S. Fisher, captain of the varsity football team, complete control over the ath letic interests, virtually making him dic- tator of athletics. Captain Fisher was officially informed of the decision of th faculty committee by the following let- ter which was given out for publication this afternoon: STANFORD_UNIVERSITY, Sept. 7, 190L— Mr. Ralph S. Fisher, Stanford University—Dear Sir: In view of the situation get forth in a let- ter to the president of the Associated Students, and in a resolution of the executive committea in response thereto, copies of which are at- tached to this, you are hereby instructed by the committee on student affairs to assume the management of the athletic interests of the university, to control the collection and bursement of funds and to take charge of the property of the Associated Students. In the exercise of the power conferred you are to be independent of control of the officers of the Associated Students, until instructed to ll'eanui authority to a properly qualified reasrer, It Is understood that in athletic matters you are to act under the direction of the faculty committee on athletics. .
