Bands Render Melody and Visitors Inspect the Mines. Special Dispatch to The Call. ANGELS CAMP, Sept. 21.—Upon the completion and arrival of the Sierra Rail- way to-day there was the largest cele- bration ever held here. It began last evening with a grand ball at which there were at Jeast 2000 visitors to the town. | As the excursion train from Stockton via Oakdale, Jamestown and Sonora ar- rived, 100 pounds of giant powder was set off on the hillside nearby in a line of | five-pound blasts. As the visitors reached | the depot they were heartily reccived by | the large number of townspeorle and two brass bands. Excellent music was sup- plied all day by the Sixth Regiment band of Stockton and the Miners band of Angels, the members of which were dressed in uniforms of blue made up af- ter the fashion of typical miners’ cloth- ing with boots and oil hats. During the afternoon the mines and | mills were opened to the visitors and | those who wished were taken through and shown the process from beginning to end by which the immense quantity of gold is taken from the ground and by which Angels is mads one of the leading mining towns of the State, the proof of which is the steady increase in the population, rapid improvements, in- creasing value of real estate and the es- tablishment of the railroad. The quality of the new road is a credit to those who had it in charge, and is wished prosper- ity by the people. The principal feature of amusement in the afternoon was a . suecessful balloon ascension at 4:30 o'ziock by an _expe- rienced aeronaut. The balivon drifted slightly to the northwest, until almost invisible, when the balloonist and para- chute separated from the balloon and gradually descended, reaching the ground about a mile from whcre the ascension was made. | FOUNDER OF ORLAND INSTITUTE LECTURES | 1‘Theme “Right and Wrong” Is | Strongly Centered About the “New Thought.” The optimistic discourse of O. N. Orlow, | Ph. D., at Golden Gate Hall last evening | was largely attended, several hundred | people comprising the audience. Dr. Orlow is the founder of the Or- low Institute and the “Soclety of | Human Endeavor,” in this city, | as well as similar organizations in Eu- rope and America. His theme last even- | ing, “Right and Wrong,” was strongly | centered about the “New Thought,” and | the object of his principles was to recog- | nize a Divine principle in man; to try to | through knowing natural | such knowledge in daily | to establish schools and settlements, especially for poor children, where these | principles may be applied and lived, es- ! tablishing harmony and comfort. | { Dr. Orlow advocates philanthropy of a practical sort. He believes that the only | thing to do, when people are hungry, iil | | or distressed, is to send food, physician | {or any other necessities and, instead of | moralizing, to give sympathy and restore faith in God, humanity and ourselves. The philanthropist is already caring for several hundred children and is arranging | for desirable homes near San Francisco where thelr education and manual train- | ing may be continued. _ | Dr. Orlow announces his intention to | | spena every Sunday evening for the pres- | ent in the upstairs lecture room at Golden | | Gate Hall [ B | BOOTBLACKS SLASH | | TWO FRUIT DEALERS | Joseph and Angelo Pieraccini Se-| verely Cut During Fight on | Valencia Street.

James Young, a cooper, 24 vears of age, was found dead in his room at 42 South Park about 7 o'clock yesterday morning with the gas partly turned on from a bracket. He had been sick for some time and returned Saturday night from a visit to the country. He was not feeling very | well and had arranged to leave with his brother John to-day for a trip south. He visited his brother-in-law, William Car- man, 115 Stlver street, Saturday night, ar- ranging to see him again to-day, and re- turned to bis home before § o'clock.

Joseph Meyers was in charge of the party. ———— Watchman Saves Man’s Life. L. 8. Jenkins of St. Helena, Napa Coun- ty, had a narrow escape from asphyxia- tion Saturday night in the Clifford lodg- ing house, 204 Eilis street. Had it not been for the vigilance of the night watch- man Jenkins would certainly have met his death. He detected the odor of illu- minating gas, and when he broke in the door Jenkins was found in an unconscious condition. Dr. C. C. Chase was_called and administered restoratives. Jenkins said that he thought he had turned out the gas. WILL LEND HER VOICE TO AID 'SENIOR STUDENTS’ VAUDEVILLE Mrs. Grace Davis Northrup to Sing at the University Entertainment===Concert for Church. + fao e 2 ! '1 M2 Olive Reed Cwhman. -3 R i i ] | i ERKELEY, Sept. 21.—Mrs. Grace Dayis Northrup, the leading soprano in the choir of the First Congregational Church of Oak- land and gencrally conceded to be one of the sweetest singers on the coast, is to be one of the leading attrac- tions at the society vaudeville which the senior students of the University of Cali- fornia_are to give next Friday night, Mrs. Northrup will sing two selections from classic opera. The presence of Mrs. Northrup on the programme of the students’ vaudeville insures a successful entertainment. An Oakland girl of long residence, Mrs. Northrup studied music under competent | teachers in San Francisco for some time and finally completed her musical edu- cation under one of the masters of operatic song in Europe. She has been singing in the Congregational choir for a short time only. The remainder of the programme has numerous good turns. Tully and Schwartz, the college comedians, will sin two_topical songs; Harry Barnhart an Professor Walter Magee will render bary- tone solos.and Earl Stevens will give a cornet solo. Aside from the musical side of the en- tertainment, several unique features will be introduced. Heeseman, the funny man of the Oakland Elks, and ‘‘Locomotive” Smith, the football hero, will give mono- logues. Six young lady students are go- ing to participate In a Florodora sextet STILL SHY MANY THOUSHND VOTES Only Three More Days Left to Register Names. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, Sept. 21. If some three thousand voters don't hurry up they will not be able to vote at the November election. With only three more days to register the list is still shy that number of names. A good many men do not understand that they have to reg- ister this year, but it is a fact that they must if they want to vote in November. Registration closes next Wednesday, September 24, leaving but three days more for voters to find a reg- istration clerk. The County Clerk's office has been doing everything | in its power to induce voters to put them- selves on record and have been working nights to accommodate them. Every night the office has been kept open from 7 to 9:30 o'clock. On the night before regis- tration closes the office will remain open until midnight in order to accommodate the tardy ones. Besides tne County Clerk’s office there are many registration deputies who can be found upon inquiry. The registration has been so lax that registration clerks have been seeking the voters in their homes and places of busi- ness. Any business house that has men too busy to register can have a clerk sent to them for the mere asking, the purpose being to get a full registration. KNOCKED OFF A CAR BY A TREE BRANCH George Cumeroxi, ;Eflesmnn, Suffers Concussion of the Brain by His Fall. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—While riding out- side on a Haywards electrfc car George Cameron, a salesman, 27 years of age, was knocked off the car by the limb of a tree near the track at Third avenue and East Fourteenth street’to-night.

German Government Loans Decline and Consols Show Little Life. BERLIN, Sept. 2L.—The boerse here had a dull week. Quotations in nearly all de- i partments declined until vesterday, when reports of Friday in New York caused | sharp reaction. Barly in the week there | was considerable short selling, but yester- | day the shorts were hurried to cover. As engagements are larger than for a long | time past, but the settlement is expected to pass easily, in spite of dearer money, which is regarded as only temporary. Bank stocks yesterday shared the gen- eral rise, on decided action by the Bank- ers’ Congress at Frankfort against the boerse law.’ It is hoped this action of the Congress will lead to reform and improve- ment in the position of the banks. German _Government loans declined more and there were other heavy sales of Imperial 3 per cents and Prussian con- sols for several days. Most foreign secu- rities partook of the general weakness of the market, but Turks partly ‘ecovered their losses. Iron shares were depressed until yester- day, because of a reduction in the price of pigiron and most unfavorable annual reports from several fron companies, but a partial recovery was afforded yesterday. General industrials were mostly lower during the week, but sugar shares were higher, on a rise in the price of raw sugar, through American flll‘chnses and uncertain crop prospects. e weather is remaining cool and wet at the very time when warm sunshine {8 necessary to pro- duce saccharine. Fear a Scarcity of Gold. LONDON, Sept. 21.—The high rates at New York and large purchases of gold for America have caused a continued firmness in the money market, but apprehensions are acute of a scarcity of gold on account of the predicted abnormal shipments to New York. These, however, are believed to have little foundation. It is realized here that, even if Secretary Shaw’'s plan for the issuance of temporary National Bank notes is not acted upon, the good | will of the banks of England, France and Germany will enable New York to obtain sufficient gold to carry over the present American stringency without especially in- conveniencing Europe. The Bank of France has an extraordinary accumula- tion of unemployed money to spare and the fact that the Bank of England’s rate of discount remains at 3 per cent shows that money has not become particularly | scarce. The recovery in New York ex- change rates is regarded here as merely manipulation for the purpose of prevent- ing advances in the London bank rate. Some $1,750,000 which was available in the open market the middle of last week has disappeared and is understood to have been bought for the New York market. There are many evidences of a desire to obtain gold without disturbing the Lon- don market. NEVADA REPUBLICANS HOLD A CONVENTION Nominations Are Made and Hawley Is Favorite for United States Senatorship. AUSTIN, Nev., Sept. 2L.—For the first time in a period of twelve years a politl- cal convention was held In Austin, the county seat of Lander, yesterday after- noon. The convention was held by the Republicans for the purpose of nominat- ing a State Senator and two Assembly- men. A large representation of delegates from all over the county was present and much enthusiasm prevailed. The name of Thomas W. Hawley for United States Senator was cheered. Walter C. Gayhart, nominee for Sur-| veyor General, was chosen chairman and R. M. Horton of Battle Mountain secre- tary. Willlam Easton, who was candi- date for Assessor by petition, was nom- inated_against his wishes for State Sen- ator. Easton said he did not see his way clear to accept the nomination, as he had been urged to make the fight for As- sessor by his friends, and he requested time to think the matter over. Later he | informed the central committee of his refusal to accept the nomination. The committee will now appoint a candidate for the position. ‘W. C. Hancock of Battle Mountain and C. F. Litrell of Austin were nominated for -the Assembly by acclamation. The Republicans are well organized and every endeavor will be made to elect a legisla- tive ticket favorable to Thomas W. Haw- ley for United States Senator. Neither the Silver nor Democratic party has held a convention. There are four candi- dates running_for the Assembly on either ticket. B. A. Miller of Austin is the Dem- qcratic-Silver candidate for State Senator. e e New Ordinances to Guide Officials. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.—Finnish newspapers publish summaries of the new ordinances which are soon to be promul- gated at Helsingfors, Finland. These or- dinances set forth that officials are placed beyond judicial prosecution without the consent of the survivors, and officials are removable by the Senate. The Governor General or his assistant is to appoint a court of chancery. Senate officials are to preside at the open sessions of the economical department, which will hence- forward appoint the judges. The censor- ship authority is widened. —— Killed by Piledriver Hammer.

Oelrich, Five Years of Ags, Upsets Gasoline Stove With Fatal Results. BERKELEY, Sept. 2L.—From burns caused by the upsetting of a gasoline stove little Frank A. Oelrich, § years of age, died to-night, at his home, 1825 Wool- sey street. The accident occurred yester- day afternoon. During the temporary absence of his mother, Mrs. Henry Oel- rich, the child got into a room where a lighted gasoline stove was standing. While playing about the stove, littie Frank tipped it over, the blazing fluld scattering over his clothing, setting it afire in a dozen places. Screaming from pain and fright, the lt- tle fellow ran out of the house. A neigh- bor’s child, Alice Fisher, saw the boy and tried to extinguish the flames by playing a stream of water on them from a garden hose. But the little boy would not keep within dis- tance. In his ight assistance came 1 in the person of %lesm Orr, a grocer's clerk, who was driving by in a wagon. Orr ran to the child and at much peril tc himself grabbed the boy and smothered the fire by rolling him in the street. The mother arrived home shortly afterward. Meanwhile Dr. Charles F. Gladding had arrived and attended the little sufferer. The physician found that the injuries were very severe, and from the outset said that there was little hope for re- covery. The boy lingered for a day, and then succumbed to the severe shock. The Coroner has charge of the case. —_———————— OAEKLAND ELKS DEFEAL THE STOCKTON BRETHREN Game Goes to the Side That Could Swat the Ball the Most Times. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—The Oakland Elks won at baseball to-day at Golden Gate, Gefeating the Stockton Elks by a score of 21 to 16. Oakland could neot fleld, but could bat and that is why it won the game. Stockton could fleld but it couldn’t bat, and that's why it lost the game. Kettleman, Stockton’s pitcher, was smit- ten so hard that the scorer gave up try- ing to count the hits. It was the same way with Oakland's errors—too hard a job to count them. Dean, Oakland's shortstop, made nine errors, though he denies it. So does the catcher, Sam Platt, deny that he made four errors. It was an exciting game anyway, the teams alter- rating in_the leadership in the tally col- umn until the last half of the ninth inn- i.g, when the locals pulled away. John ~ Watson Matthews of Oak- iand made two home runs. There were 1500 spectators there to see the bat- tle. The visitors were afterward enter- tained in the Elks’ clubrooms. Follow- ing was the Hne-up: Oakland—H. Platt, second base; Mead, left fleid; Matthews, right fleld; Blethen, pitcher; Dean, shortstop; Ward, first base; Templeton, center fleld; Cone, third base; S.

These will be “worked” by men towers, placed at greater intervals. The lights will be red and green, as on the raflroad. The red will warn the rear and the green the approach.
