ORLOW DELIVERS LECTURE ON “SCANDAL” | Says He Who Gossips Maliciously | ¢ Cearries Poisoned Sting of Social Life. A fair-sized and appreciative audience listened to Dr. O. N. Orlow’s entertaining lecture at upper Golden Gate Hall last evening. His theme was “Scandal.” The speaker discussed the physical and men- tal results of the habit of malicious gos- sip. One who maliciously gossiped, the epeaker said, was his own greatest enemy and the greatest enemy of others; he car- ried the poisoned sting of social life and was the destroyer of peace. Dr. Orlow said one’s idea of what others ought to do was what one would like them to do and that one found fault with others when they failed to Go this, which might be very human, but was absurd. “Scandal mongers,” the speaker said, “miss the joy of friendship, for to them there are no friends; of manhood or womanhood, for to them everything is transient and vile; of pure belief in truth, for to them nothing is sacred and all is evil.” The musical programme consisted of a violin selection by Miss Stella Eaton end soprano solo by Miss Wedham and Mies Christine La Barrague, all of which were warmly recelved. ———— FORMER SOLDIER STABS MAN DURING QUARREL James Fleming, Who Once Shot Com- rade and Escaped Punishment, Is Again in Trouble. George Saddler was stabbed iast night on Pacific street by a former colored sol- dier named James Fleming, the men having engaged in a quarrel over a woman. Saddler was cat in the abdomen, but the wound proved to be of a slight character. After the effair Saddler was taken to his room at 1300% Btockton street, where Dr. Elliott attended him. Fleming, when in the Philippines, shot a comrade and was tried and sentenced to ninety-nine years' imprisonment by a courtmartial composed of volunteer offi- cers. He was transferred to Alcatraz, where he served but four months of his ntence. He gained his release on ac- count of the Supreme Court of the United States deciding that a courtmartial com- posed of volunteer officers held no jurls- diction over soldiers in the regular ser- vice. —_——— Delegates Entertained. Members of Carpenters’ Union Ne. 483, together with those or affiliated unions, filled Scottish Hall on Saturday night to honor its delegates on their return from Atlanta, Ga., where they had srtended the national convention.

The management of the reception was in the hands of Guy Lathrop, J. Heymen snd J. M. Burke. s bRt SEESE Mass at Cathedral. HANDBALL 3TAR START TOURNEY Four Good GamesPlayed at Olympic Club Courts. Champion Fitzgerald Easily Beats Al Hampton in a Match. St The annual champlonship handball tournament in singles opened at the Olympic Club yesterday afternoon. The games were well played, but rather one- sided. A large crowd thronged the gal- leries and indulged in much enthusiastic shouting, with a whole lot of joking on the side. The tournament is under the direction of the club’s leader, J. J. Gleason, who also acted as scorer. Four sets were _played, two by first class men and_ two by members of the second class. A little side issue in the shape of a match game between William Fitzgerald, champion of the world, and Al Hampton, the coast champion, proved the best game of the day. The former did all kinds of winning stunts and Hampton was never in the running. The first match was between Tom Pow- ers and Charles K. Melrose, both of the second class. Powers was in excellent form and plaved a dashing game. Mel- rose was in poor form and suffered from a sore hand. Powers led all the way and won by a score of 21-10 and 21-7. Then two of the first-class performers, Louis Levy and Nat Hewson, hooked up. Both played strongly, although Levy started nervously, losing the first game. He overcame this in a twinkling and started his left wing to work. He played all around Hewson and easily won the next two games and the match. Score, 19-21, 21-4, 21-3. Big Minehan, well known as a dashing member of the city’s finest, went up against W. J. Kennedy for first class honors. The cop used his straight wallop and slammed the ball around the court so fast Kennedy could not get into the running. He never had a chance. Score, 1-6. x Rosenfeld and John Cunningham, both of the third class, were the last of the day’s stars. Rosenfeld played a good, steady game and kept his opponent hot footing all over the court. After a while the latter began.to grow groggy and then Rosenfeld went in and won in a walk. Score, 21-7, 21-2. Fhzgerald and Hampton's exhibition match was 2 hummer and brought forth rounds of applause from the gallery. Fitzgerald bewildered the local man, and the way he hit the ball to all parts of the court was remarkable. Hampton played good ball, but was no match for the world’s champion. Score, 21-18, 21-17. The tournament will go on again Wednesday night, when several players from each class will meet. CIVIL SUITS IN WAY OF CANAL TRANSFER Panama Newspaper Calls Attention to Clouds on the Company’s Title. PANAMA, Colombia, Nov. 10.—El Mer- curio, a newspaper of this city, lately has been publishing a series of interesting articles regardirz the different phases ot the canal question. In a recent issue, referring to the Panama Canal Company’s titles, it says: It being our most earnest wish that the new Panama Canal Company should be able to present its titles clear and transfer to the United States its privileges, rights and proper- ties, on the ist] hout any embarrassing legal impediments, we think it advisable that it should settle and cancel s s00n as possi- all pending suits here, especially in these ses where the company already has been condemned in several instances by the local courts and the supreme tribunal of Bogota 10 pay amounts due based on previous judg- men Attention is also called to the embargoed buildings in this city, the principal one of which, where the company has its main of- fices, has been in the hands of a receiver for several months past. All embargoed property here could be released on payment by the company in full of the amounts due to local creditors. . Regarding isthmian rights, El Mercurio observes: In view of the above considerations we would seriously call the attention of our Gov- ernment that in the event of the present treaty under discussion with us for the opening of the canal being finally signed and ratified it should be clearly stated that at least 10 per cent of all amounts that will be advanced on account of concessions and privileges granted by Colombia should be handed to the isthmian local government for the construction and maintenance of public works, These works are urgently needed: Aque- ducts, hospitals, lazarettes, a sanitarium for quarantine patients, public roads, etc. The observations of El Mercurio echo the general isthmiah sentiments regard- ing what the residents consider to be just demands and which Minister Concha's predecessor, Dr. Martinez-Silva, strongly advocated and stipulated in the original draft of the preliminary negotiations, which appear, however, to have been eliminated in the subsequent treatw docu- ments. e Project of Bishop Potter’s Wife. DETROIT, Mich.,, Nov. 9.—Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark Potter, wife of Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York, who is in this city with her husband, said to-day that the report from New York that she intended to erect on the lower east side a great philanthropic institution similar to the Hull House in England was great- ly exaggerated. Mrs. Potter explained that she was about to have erected at a very small cost a building intended for men, where they would be provided with refreshments at a very moderate cost. i i Xl Rock Island to Extend Lines. CHICAGO, Nev. 9.—The Chronicle will gay to-morrow® In the near future the Rock Island Company will make fmport- ant extensions of its lines in the South- west which will materially shorten the distance between Chicago and the Puacific Coast and give that system another outlet for its traffic. This extension will be in New Mexico and will connect the Rock Island and El Paso main line with the Santa Fe. The projected extension will probably run from Tucumerai, nearly due west to a point on the Santa Fe main line. B L Nansen Announces an Expedition. CHRISTIANIA, Nov. 8.—Dr. Nansen, the Arctic explorer, announces that a polar expedition, under command of <Cap- tain Amundsen, will start in 1903 for King Williamland, east coast of Greenland, and will proceed thence for Bering Straits. Professor Schmidt of Berlin characterizes the expedition as the most important task in the domain of territorial magnetism. e . Resignation Is Refused.

The President has approved the sentence of dismissal, ROTIAN ATHLETE VICTORIOUS IN CLASSIC COURSING EVENT Reta S Carries Off the Honors at Union Park Cleverly in the Special Stake. , * OURSING was conducted at Unlon Coursing Park yesterday under depressing weather conditions. Contrary to expectations, the . hares ran with the speed of the wind and supplied sensational sport. The relief dogs were released at the expiration of two minutes in a number of courses. One tiny hare led five fast dogs a merry chase until it finally succumbed to su- perior numbers. The special stake was won cleverly by Reta S, with Master Rocket runner-up. The winner defeated in turn Pasha Pleas- ant, Silver Cloud, White Hate and finally Master Rocket. The open stake was won by default by Harvey M. He was to meet Presidlo Boy in the all-important declding course, but the latter hound had such severe running it was. thought advisable to withdraw him. Although the sport was conducted un- der such depressing conditions, it was so exciting that the work of the game hounds was frequently applauded by the spectators. Judge P. J. Rellly was in the saddle throughout the day, while Harry Murray handled the slips. The detailed results, with Judge Reilly's officlal scores, follow: Special stake—E. Geary's Fenii beat F. Jones' Wedgewood, 4-0; A. R. Curtis’ Charta beat E. Geary’s Roy Hughle, 9-2; T. J. Cro- nin's Tralee Boy beat B.

Geary's America GREYHOUND WHICH CARRIED OFF PREMIER HONORS IN THE CLASSIC AMERICAN WATERLOO, THE EIGHTH RENEWAL OF WHICH WAS DECIDED YESTERDAY AT ST. LOUIS, AND HIS OWNER, THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE PATRON OF COURSING IN ALL AMERICA. T. LOUIS, Nov. 9.—Roman Athlete, a white greyhound, owned and bred by J. H. Rosseter of San Francisco, won the eighth renewal of the classic American Waterloo, decided here tv-day within the inclosure of Delmar racetrack. It was thought by many that Sacra- mento Boy, another California represen- tative, would win the stake. To the sur- prise of the spectators he was retired in the fourth round-by Northern Express, a puppy which won the Futurity recently at Friend, Neb, Roman Athleter made all his courses short, winning each decisively. Tiburon, another California-bred hound, now owned here, was also fortunate in this re- spect. Northern Express and Barefoot Boy had hard coursing toward the end of the stake. The winner of the Waterloo Purse was Lord Butte, owned by L. F. Bartels of Denver. Warburton, a St. Louis hound, was second. The Waterloo Plate went to Black Coon, also owned by J. H. Ros- seter, King Cashier being second. The ‘weather was warm and the hares a strong lot. Summary: Waterloo Cup—third round: Tiburon defeat- ed Dom Pedro, 8-6; time, 0:50.

Roman Athlete, winner of the American Waterloo, is by Emin Phsha-Fair Helen. He is four years old. He was bred by Mr. Rosseter and has always represented his kennel. He has been a consistent per- former here once he won his first course in a stake. The farther he went the faster he went. He left here in charge of Trainer Sweeney some ten days since. The dog was just recovering from a se- vere course, and his veteran handler doubted the expediency of taking him East. Mr. Rosseter thought to the contrary, and from the start had the utmost con- fidence that the dog would distinguish himself. As his other Waterloo candi- dates had failed him at the eleventh hour he sent the Athlete as his principai representative. < The defeat of Sacramento Boy occa- sioned as much surprise here as the dis- patches show it did at St. Louls. He was beatep by Northern Express, a greyhound less than two years old. Northern Ex- ;ress is by Northern Surprise-Jessamy. The latter will be remembered by follow- ers of coursing as the greyhound which | was so difficult to capture after a course. Each time she competed it meant a com- plete stoppage of coursing for from twen- ty to thirty minutes. The officials were finally compelled to refuse her entry. Northern Express was looked upon as the best representative of the Lastern degs in the stake. J. H. Rosseter, owner' of Roman Ath- lete, is fnterested in coursing purely as a pastime. He is the most representa- tive man of the sport in America. As the owner of For Freedom, the $10,000 greyhound, his name is’ known wherever coursing is followed. He has been repre- sented in nearly all the American Water- loos since the stake was first run in 1895. In that year he started Emifi Pasha, the sire of yesterday’s winner. Emin was beaten in a short, unsatisfactory trial by Luclen Swift. The latter was a brother to Chartist, being by Glenkirk._ Chartist was the sire of Flying Fox and Charta. In 190 Emin Pasha was again sent for the cup, this time at Sherman, Tex. He worked his winning way down to the de- ciding course. Here he would have met May Queen, and it was conceded Emin would win. May Queen was the property of a Texas friend of Mr. Rosseter’s, so instead of running off the stake Mr. Ros- seter’s representative offered to divide the honors in a spirit of sportsmanship. This actlon was taken. Last year Mr. Rosseter was second for the cup at St. Louis with Rocker. EASTERN BOWLERS AGAIN BEAT LOCALS Eugenes and Crescents Roll h Gooa Form, but Prove No Match for the All-Americans. The famous All-American Bowling team again went against two crack local aggregations at the Central Alleys last night. They bowled in fine form and easily took the honors from both the Eugenes and the Cresdents. The local men bowled in good form, but were outclassed by the Basterners. The Crescents were defeated in a three- man contest by 81 pins and the Eugenes, who played in a two-man match were kanded a 135-pin package.

TO FIGHT IN THIS erry Have Finally Come to Terms and Their Meeting Will Take Place in December. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—It was learned on good authority to-day that Terry McGov- ern and Young Corbett finally have come to terms and that their lony delayed serap would eventually be held in San Fran. cisco. It is understood that the men are to have it out about December 2 and that forfeits clinching the encounter will be posted within a few days. ‘When the men signed articles some time ago they agreed to walt until November 15 to accept bids. This is next Saturday and it is sald a number of California clubs have filed liberal offers for the fray. San Francisco at the present time, out- side of St. Louis, is the only place where a mill of this importance could be decided. McGovern told the Sun representative on Saturday that he was ready to fight Cor= bett in California and was almost certain that the combat would be finally held there. Tt was further learned that if Cor- bett wins he will immediately sail for England and take on Jabez White before the National Sporting Club in London in February. Owing to McGovern's failure to live up to his promises with the club the National people have concluded to sidetrack him for good, . - & : EASTERN TEAMS PLAY REAL BALL Astonish the Spectators at Los Angeles by Their Speed. O g Fielding, Pitching and Base Running Prove a Revelation. ol LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.—Two teams made up of individual stars of the Nation- al and the American Baseball Leagues gave an exhibition of the game to-day as it should be played, at Chutes Park. In the face of lowering clouds, which threat- ened to pour out their contents at any moment, 5000 people sat through the quick- est game in local baseball history. The first man of the Natlonals went to bat at 2:30 o'clock and the last American struck out at 3:42 p. m., the entire game consuming but an hour and twelve min- utes. The Nationals won by a score of 1 to 9, and but for Joss’ wildness in the fifth in- ning the play might have ended without a tally on either side. Each team made five hits and neither made an error. Fast play, clean fielding, marvelous pitching and clever base-running—all were fea- “tures. The prettlest bit of work was done by Hartley of the Americans, in left field, where he accepted, two difficult chances. Cooley’s batting, Ritchle’s work at sec- ond, both of the'Nationas, and Hartzel's base-running and flelding in right field for the Americans were rewarded with the loudest approval by the spectators. Mer- cer of the Detroits acted as umpire. Joss and Donovan, the opposing pitchers; showed great speed and wonderful con- trol. The only run was made by the Na- tionals in the fifth, when Joss hit Irwin, who stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Kahoe's two-bagger. Batteries—Americans, Joss and Sulli- van; Nationals, Donovan and Kahoe. NEWSPAPERMEN’S TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED COLLEAGUE Memorial services for the late Charles O.

Dr. Nieto pald a high tribute to the integrity of Mr. Zeigenfuss and pointed to the re- markable energy he ever displayed In the pursuit of his calling. The remains were escorted to Odd Fel- lows’ Cemetery, where they were cremated. ¢ ————— Oklahoma Goes Republican. GUTHRIE, O. T., Nov. 9.—The offictal returns up to last night show the majority of B.

Do the Dying Weep? “I have stood by the bedside of hun- dreds of dying”people,” sald an old ph;- sician at Topeka yesterday, “and I have {et to see a dying person shed a tear. No matter what the grief of the bystand- ers may be, the stricken person will show no signs of overpowering emotion. I have seen a circle of agonized children around a dying mother—a mother who in health would have n touched to the quick by signs of grief in a child—yet she reposed as calm and unemotional as though she had been made There is some strange and ineoxlp\?éggleé psychological change which accompanies the act of dissolution. It is well known to all physicians that pain disappears as the end approaches. And nature seems to have arranged it so that mental peace shall also attend our last lingering mo- ments.”—Kansas City Journal. b ItGWAs'?oo Much for Him. G TR e nnee “take back your money. I guess I got on de udder gang’'s beat!"—Baltimore WARKMEN MEET INHERNY AN Inclement Weather Does Not Dampen Ardor of Experts. e e Many Engage in Shoots for Thanksgiving Dinner Turkays, i il The stormy weather and heavy rain could not dampen the ardor of the marks- i men who" assembled yesterday at Shell Mound range. A large number gathered to take part in the monthly medal contest and annual turkey shoot of the San | Francisco Schuetzen Verein. Considering the inclemency of the day some good scores were made. The Independent Rifles held their monthly medal shoot; the Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club held Its bullseye compe- tition; the Germania Schuetzen Club had a turkey shoot in addition to its medal and regular competition contest. The Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club was on hand and held its medal and competi- tive contests. Batteries A and D, First Artillery Bat- talion, also held a monthly medal shoot.
