BERKELEY, Dec. 22.—Two hold-ups oc- curred in this city last night. In the first Edward Fisher of 1525 Arch street was stopped by three persons, two of whom appeared to be mere boys, and at the point of three weapons Fisher was relieved of his money and watch. In the second hold- up a fight ensued, in which L. F. Over- street, a student in the local Commercial College, came out the victor over two thugs. the struggle, being struck a heavy blow on the back of the head. The attempt to rob Overstreet occurred at 11:45 o'clock. He was returning from { Oakland to his home at 1901 Milvia street, when, at the corner of Berkeley way and Henry street, two masked men jumped in front of him from the shadow of the hedge which runs along Henry street. Without a word one of them struck at the back of Overstreet’s head with a long club. Overstreet ducked and stopped the force of the blow with his right shoul- der. This saved him from being stunned. Overstreet leaped by the footpad with the bludgeon and grappled with the sec- | either robber real- | ond robber. Before jzed what was happening one of them was sprawling in the gutter from two well-directed blows in the face. As he turned upon the other highwayman Over- street caught the full force from the club across his knuckles, which badly bruised them. Tackles His Assailant. Overstreet grasped the weapon and sidewalk and against hedge, the footpad striking Overstreet with the butt of a revolver he drow after losing the club. "Fhe highwayman who had been knocked into the gutter either had enough expe- Yience for one night or heard some one coming, for he ran up Henry sireet as Soon as he regained his feet, whistling for his comrade, The latter broke loose from Overstreet, leaving his club in the stu- dent's hands, and ran rapidly after his | partner. Oversireet did not follow the men but went immediately to his home. He de- scribes his ilants as the usual tall and short man. The tall one carried the club, which was two feet and a half of a spade handle, and wore a dark suit and slouch hat. The short man wore a gray What Shall We Have for Dessert?

The sacred “edilice was thronged by relatives and frienas of the little one The service began at 4 o'clock, when the | children marched into the auditorfum. The girls were arrayed in white and each wore a vell. The boys each wore on the left arm a white knotted -ribbon. At the altar were gathered Archbishop Riordan Rev. J. J.

The rites of confirmation were perform- ed by the Archbishop, and at the close of the ceremonial he delivered an address in which he said: This is a solemn moment these children, they grow older. us to the past, in the lives of and they will realize this as 1t is a ceremony which binds for to-day these children have become soldiers of Christ. To-day they enter upon the wartare inst sin which must last until their dying day. There is need of viglil- ance alwaye. We must ever be on our guard and never forget that we are soldiers of Cnrist.

Let these chiliren prove worthy of this great | accaston. - In- Roman history we read that it | was the custom of children to wear a medal | whi¢h always reminded them of their ances- { tors and that they should never disgrace their i | | i | forefathers. But what Roman emperor or e o equaled our grea: master? How sacred are our obligations not to disgrace him.

The road to salvation is not | bne Jinca with flowers, but under a heavy cross I must we:work out our own salvation. The way to heaven, good life and virtue is a way of sacrifice. We are followers of the cruci- fied Savior, and the way of eternal life is the way eof the crcss. Teach them to be proud of their religion: teach them that there is but ona church and that they must know fts duties and obligations. Think of Christ in the man- | ger and all he has done for us.

RYAN DISCUSSES CHINESE QUESTION | Expresses Fear That Mongolians Wi'l Overrun World Some Day With Their Manufactories. 1f the audience that went to hear H. Ryan lecture at tne Metropolitan Hall last evening was small In numbers, at any rate what there was of it completely filled every bit of breathing space with | enthusiasm. Ryan’s subject was a popu- | lar one and Ryan is a ready and able young man and possesses the rare fae- of being interesting. “hinese Immigration” was the topic and the lecturer divided his attention be- tween the admission of Clinese to these shores and the fact of their advancement as mechanics and masters of industry in their own land. While strongly favoring exclusion. he pointed out that what the world had most to fear was that one day the Chinese would flood the markets of the world, not from the United States, | but from their own manufactories on their | own soil. Tn speaking of England controlling a great part of China, the lecturer was un- fortunately misunderstood by some one in the body of the hall, who cried out: “You're a iiar! England has no Chinese. There isn't a Chinaman there,” The in- ! teruption was loud enough 'and fierce enough to alarm some in the audience, but the real words uttered by Ryan havy- ing been explained, the interrupter sat himself down in peace and the lecturer composedly continued his discourse. o LR T T Rhetorician for Summer School.

P 2 Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 22. The directors of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institute at Berkeley have de- cided to build a very necessary hospital for the institution without waiting for an appropriation from the State Legislature. They have, they believe, sufficient money for the purpose in the varlous funds un- der their control, and will leave the ques- tion of reimbursement to the next Legis- lature. Plans have been perfected, contracts let and the work of breaking ground is in Progress. : Tkgie hospital will cost about $10,000. Dr. 0. D. Hamlin of the Oakland Board of Health and Architect Walter Matthews prepared the plans and specifications now approved by the directors. Advantage has been taken of the experience gained in similar institutions in the East, and the new hospital will be equipped with ail the appliances modern science can suggest as most practical and effective. There are 400 children at the institute. The new building will be 60 by 100 feet in dimensions and will contain a ward for boys and one for girls, an accident ward, operating-room and a department fully equipped with fumigating and other ap- pliances necess: ling of an epidemic of any kind. | ‘Ifilz directors are George W. Reed, Sen- ator Frank W. Leavitt, John Gridley, John J. Mattos and Henry Pierce of San Francisco. The hospital will be ready for occupancy in about six months. WISE MEN SEEKING TRUTE.

E. Church last evening. He said in part: That they were earnest seekers is seen: in thelr preparation of heart to receive the truth; in their readings to follow the light already given; in their willingness to make any sacri- fice 16 find the new-born king: in thelr faith— they expected to find him and they went pre- | pared to worship him; in that they were not easily turned aside by other things; in that they were ready and willing to obey God after they found the object of their search. These wise men teach us: That God measures things not as man meas- ary for the efficient hand- | | Brigid’s ures them. The most common and insignificant in the materfal world may be the medium of the morally great. That God's way is not man’'s and yet God's way is better than man's, and God's wisdom and power are greater than all the secrecy and diplomacy and might of kings. That the more highly privileged sometimes see less and appreciate less than those who are the least privileged. The star stood over Bethlehem and the heads 1t is so of the Jews, but they saw it not. with the Gospel privileges to-day. That the earnest seeker of the truth shall All human hearts seek rest and they find it only as they find him who is “the way, the find, truth ‘and the life.”” The congregation was large and programme of music excellent. —_—— Programmes for Christmas.
