Carleton, late Superin- tendent of Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph, whose long and faith- ful service to the city ended in sudden death last Thursday, was this afternoon buried at Mountain View Cem- etery with all the honor a sorrowing com- munity could bestow. The funeral services were conducted by the officers of Live Oak Lodge No. 61, {F. and A. M., of which organization de- ceased w: a well loved member. The officials from Mayor to humbliest employe took their place in the proces- sional march to the grave. A military band marked mournful time, and a company of State soldiers marched be- hind the musicians in tribute to the worth of the dead_ citizen. The Police and Fire departments were fittingly represented. Every seat in the First Congregational Church was occupied during the funeral services, and many of the 2000 and more that attended followed the cortege to the place of burial. The tribute paid to George Carleton by the public of Oakland was expected. The best part of his life had been lived in this city, and his career had been one of ideal civic usefulness. The tribute paid hiz memory by his brother Masons speaks more th words for the deceased’s standing among men. In addition to the members of his own lodge at least 500 Masons from all parts of the State and many Vv ors from Eastern cities jcined in paying a Mason's tribute to the worth of a dead brother.

The game of basque ball now being played four days of each week at Central Park seems billed to become a fad in this country. The game was recently import- ed from Mexico, it having had its birth in France about fifteen years ago. The Span- iards then took it up, and experts went to South America, where it met with great favor. It has now heen introduced into the United States in the belief that it will become popular on account of the unusual skill required by the players in scoring the various points to be made under the rules of the game, A large crowd of curieus spectators was present at the contests yesterday. Three matches were played by the Spanish con- testants, and in the course of the matches some very interesting plays were made. Even to those who do not understand the game the spectacle of seein~ men scoop up a swiftly flying bail in an arrangement shaped like a boomerang and then sweep- ing it away again apparently without ef- fort proved a distinct novelty. Whenever a ball was muffed by a player, or when it flew too high and scraped the wire net- ting on the walls, the bell rang and the | opposing players were given a point. The plays were fast and furious at times, and on these occasions the applause was gen- erous. That the players are experts in their line is incontestable. 3 Lovers of handball will appreciate this basque ball for the reason that the games are quite similar. An inclosure similar to | that of a handball court, only much | | been made among the larger, is provided. The wall against which the ball is thrown by the players | s fifty feet high and - is called the | “fronti,” About 200 feet away is another wall of a lesser height, which is called the “rebote,” and against which the ball rebounds, Connecting the walls is an- other of equal height, thus forming a court forty feet wide, which is paved with artificial stone. This court is called the “cancha.” The players are disposed ac- cording to the requirements of the game within the cancha, each holding ‘‘la chis- tera,” an apparatus- formed of twigs in the shape of a horn of plenty. open on one side. The ball is caught with clever- | ness by the players in the chistera, and with one sweep of the arm sent forth again with lightning-like speed. The ball must be caught on the fly as it rehounds from the frontis, or on the first rebound. Should a player fail in accomplishing this | his opponent scores. The manipulation of | the,ball and the rapidity with which it is passed about among the opposing teams fascinates spectators and frequently rouses them to the manifestation of con- siderable enthusiasm. It is the belief of local handball men that the new game will become popular with the masses after it is once under- stood. A company has been formed to in- troduce the game, and the construction of a court in Central Park mecessitated the expendjture of $35,000. Fifteen Span- iards who are experts at the game were brought to this city, and they play in matohes four days. of each week. The crowds are becoming larger daily, and when the beauties of the game are more generally realized there can be no ques- tion that the Investment by the company will become profitable.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 8.—Viadimir Bogoraz, leader of the Siberian depart- ment of the Jesup North Pacific expedi- tion, who returned to St. Petersburg a month ago after nearly a year and a half of exploration in North Siberia, was in- vited to lecture before the Imperial Geo- graphical Soclety in this city last night. A large company assembled to hear him, but word came at the last moment that he had been expelled from the city by the police. The cause of this action was said to be an article published by Bogoraz. in | a Jocal newspaper. i Instead of Bogoraz's lecture a letter was | read from his companion, Vliadimir Jack- | elson, who ig still in Siberia. Jackelson | said that anthrometric measurements had | Karlaks and three skulls obtained. Thirty phonographic cyl- inders were filled with Kariak utterances and songs. Clay objects were found by excavations. This is held to prove that a higher civilization once prevailed in Kam- schatka, since the present tribes are ig- norant of pottery. The expedition left San_ Francisco | March 17, 1900, for Viadivostok to gather material about ‘the origin of the American races and their affinities with Asiatic tribes. In June, 1900, Bagoraz went to the Anodyr country, and July 24 Jackelson | and his companion, Axeirad of Zurich, | went to Gijlga. Bogoraz made a study of the Kamschatkan and Kariaks and | then proceeded northward nearly to Ber- ! ing Straits. He sledged about 10,000 versts, His entire collection embraces 12,000 ob- jects, and & comparative grammar of the native languages shows them to belong to the Eskimo group. Another member of the expedition, Nor- man Buxton, who directed the zoological and hotonical work, shipped sixty-five tons of collections to New York by sea. | Buxton left Vladivostok October 24 and reached Moscow after twenty-one days. On the way over Buxton fell in with some of the American miners who have been engaged in Mongolia b{' the Russo-Chi- nese hank.

PROMISES NEW BT T0 PELPLE Carnegie to Give Ten Millions More to Education. University Extension Will Receive the Splendid Benefaction. CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—A dispatch te the Record-Herald from Washington says: Andrew Carnegie is to give $10,000,000 to the cause of university extension in the United States. Announcement of this great gift to education will be made at the White House on Tuesday. Mr. Car- negie was here’ a few days ago and took luncheon with President Roosevelt, when details of the plan were fully discussed. Mr. Carnegle has thought best to ereate a national beard to handie this munificent benefaction. President Roosevelt wili probably name such a board for Mr. Car- negie, or at least set in motion the ma- chinery which shall lead to a national or ganization. Mr. Carnegie is expected here to-mer- row or on Tuesday and fuller details of this gigantic enterprise will soon become | public. Nicholas Murray Butler, who has sue- ceeded Seth Low. at the head of Colum- bia College, has been here for two 3 a guest of President Roosevelt at the White House, and he has aided in perfect- ing the plans. Mr. Butler left for New York at 4 o'clock this afternoon and be- fore going refused to give any particulars beyond the information that an announce- ment would be made on Tuesday at the White House. Mr. Butler has long been one of the foremost champions of univer- sity extension and it is understeod Mr. Carnegie has had frequent consultations with him concerning the enterprise. According to the plans prepared by Mr. Carnegie and his advisers, the natiomal organization is to have its headquarters in Washington, but its_operations are to extend throughout the United States, the work to be carried on in co-operation with universities everywhere, ALLEGED HYPNOTISTS ACCUSED OF PERSECUTION Man and Woman Arrested in What- com on Complaint of Father and Daughter. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. .—John Frisbie and daughter at Whatcom have caused the arrest of Dr. Menzies and Mrs. Fleish- man, who are alleged to have exercised hypnotic influence over Mrs. Frisble to such an extent that she applied for and secured a divorce while her husband was in Alaska. On his return he contested the divorce and it was annulled two weeks ago. The Superior Court ordered Mrs. Frisbie to stay away from Menzies, but permitted Mrs. Fleishman to call and see her in the presence of her daughters. Early last week Mrs. Fleishman re- mained longer than the daughters wished and was asked to depart. When she de- clined Mary Frisbie struck her. She was arrested for assault, but aequitted. The Frisbies then swore out warrants charg- ing Menziés and Mrs, Fleishman with ma- licious persecution for interfering with Mrs. Frisbie. Mrs. Fleishman was yester- day bound over for trial. Dr. Menzies was taken into custody and asked the arrest- ing officer to excuse him for a moment. He has not been seen since. FOUND LYING UNCONSCIOUS ON A ROAD NEAR HIS HOME FALLS, S.
