SWAMI RAM TALES ON VEDANTA PHILOSOPHY | Interesting Discourse Is Delivered by Hindoo Monk at Academy | of Sciences Hall. Swami Ram, the well-known Hindoo| monk, delivered an interesting lecture on-| Vedanta philosophy at the Academy of Sciences building last evening. The monk explained the teaching of the Vedas and the Jaws of harmony and reform they con- tain. He explained that to reach a plane of restful harmony and to attain success the lines of all activities training essential. The tenet of P\-\xe— of the Silence” was discussed, and universal love was one of the princi- | pal texts of the discourse. | We strive to attain our purpose,” said | “by the help of the visible | , through the wisdom of the knowiedge of the past, guidance of the wise of all | who will grant us their instruction n We aspire to love one | ove our neighbors as our- | d to so apply the knowledge of | to the conditions of the unreal | illusions of life on the earth ‘ human beings better on all life itself more bearable and‘ AN IMPORTANT CHANGE. Prominent Newspaper Artist Goes | Into Commercial Art Work. William J Kelly, the “Dan Smith” of | I‘hf— slope, has forsaken newspaperdom. For many years connected with The Call | a arly two years manager of the | art department, he has made a reputa- | tion for himself in the handling of clever | decorative work. When Mr. Kelly's artistic efforts made | their first appearance in The Call many | years ago they were given credit by the critics for their snappy style and a bright | future was promised for the young artist. | The prediction has been more than ful- filled in his subsequent work and he is | emong the foremost of the decorative men | on the coast. | The announcement of Mr., tirement from newsDaper work comes with the news of his association with | Barnhart & Swasey as manager of their | art department. The adve g firm of Barnhert & Swasey has been gradually securing the | services of many of the best artists on | the coast and the commercial work turned out by the department shows to good ad. vantage beside that of any of the East- ern concerns in the same line. that a San Francisco house is obliged to go to Chicago or New York for posters, booklet and catalogue covers has been dispelled by the rapid improvement in the facilities of Barnhart & Swasey’s studio. Kelly’s re- Mr. Kelly will have charge of eleven artists in his new position. Perry H. Newberry, formerly manag: of this branch of Barnhart & Swasey's business, has been promoted to the supervision of the several departments. Tyndall as 2 Hypnotist. Tyndall will venture to-night into the field of hypnotism. He will give a demon- stration of the use and abuse of this lit- tie-understood power at Steinway Hall, and his experiments will be made upon subjegts drawn from the audience. The amuging side of the subject will not be neglected, the peculiar illusions to which the hypnotized are subjected being the source of much entertainment to the on lookers. The hypnotist, who is well qual- ified to enlarge upon this power, will give a short talk upon the manner in which it may be made to benefit mankind, and @lso of the evil uses to which the influ- ence may be put.

WORLD FAMOUS SCIENTIST WHO — HAS ARRIVED AT BERKELEY, WHERE HE WILL HAVE CHARGE OF A SPECIALLY CREATED 1 DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. -3 ERKELEY, Dec. Dr. Jacques Loeb, the world-famous physiolo- gist, who relinquished a leading position in the University of Chi- cago to come to the University of | California as head of a specially created department designed for his daring in- 20.— rived upon the scene of his future labors at a late hour last night. He will com- mence the duties of his new office at the opening of the college term in January. True to the reputation which he had ac- quired while at the Eastern institution Dr. Loeb refused to-day to be interviewed | as to his plans and the scope of the work which he will pursue in his new labora- tory.

The distinctive feature of the new laboratory will be a.monster salt water aquarium, wherein will be kept the finny subjects of the professor's study. The immediate plans for study which Professor Loeb has outlined for himself when once his new laboratory is ccmplete cannot he learned. It is supposed that the new conditions of marine life which he finds upon this coast will suggest new avenues of investigation. Upon his former trip to Berkeley early in the summer he declared that the présence of the marine laboratory at San Pedro, which is under university management, would have great weight in innuencing his ac- ceptance of the offer made him by the regents of the university. Besides Dr. Fischer, who is already at Berkeley, Professor Loeb wiil have as as- sistants Dr. D. G. Bullot of Belgium, Dr. John B. MacCallum, formerly of Johus Hopkins University; Charles G. Rogers of the University of Chicago and F. W. Bancroft, an assistant in the department of zoology. Professor Loeb will not con- duct any classes the first term he is here, but will devote a large part of his time to writing. reffeiniiiiieit @ GREEN TRADING STAMP CO. IN FLOURISHING CONDITION Officials Deny Malicious Reports That Company Is Going Out of Business. The repeated reports that the Green Trading Stamp Company, which has been conducting a thriving business in this city for several years past, was about to re- tire from business were indignantly de- nied by the officers of the company at their headquarters, 230 Stockton street, yesterday. The announcement was made to a re- porter that the volume of business trans- acted this year exceeded that of any since the enterprise was established here six years ago. The company is backed by the Sperry & Hutchinson Company, Inc., whose capital is $1,000,000, and surplus $100,000. The company owns and operates more stores than any other concern in the worid. More than $2,000,000 worth of goods were dispensed last year in pre- miums, and that sum was exceeded this ear. The local officers of the company say that the reports that the green trad- ing stamps would soon be retired are in- spired by malicious persons for ulterior | motives. L A Great Work by Woodworth. The solicitor of the treasury informed United States District Attorney Marshall B. Woodworth yesterday that under Mr. Woodworth’s administration California | has risen from fifteenth place to second place among the States of the Union in the matter of money collected for the Government in civil suits and fines. Min- nesota stands first, with $123,000 collected; California second, with $70,000 collected, and New York third, with $40,000 collected. The solicitor complimented Mr. Wood- worth very highly on his efficiency. If diet has much effect on character the difference in the amount of tea consumed respectively by French people and Eng- lish would itself be sufficient, we should imagine, to produce a marked distinction between the national characteristics of the two nations. The consumption of tea in France only amounts to three-quarters of an ounce per head of the population, while in Great Britain it is nearly five pounds. The only country in the world where more tea is drunk than here (Eng- land) is in Russia, where It reaches close on six pounds per head of the population. It is curious that in the United States, where the people are mainty of the Eng- lish race and of similar tastes in most respects, only one pound of tea per head is drunk, and the statistics show a tend- ency for the consumption to decrease in recent years, while that of coffee is grow- ing. In France, although so little tea Is drunk, as compared with England, the consumptiop has doubled in the last twen- ty years, 'but the checked in the last four. By far the larg- est amount ever consumed there was mn 1500, but that was, no doubt, due to the large number of visitors, especially Eng: lish, to the exhibition that year. . increase has ‘been CLAIM INTEREST IN' LARGE RANCH Title to Contra Costa Land Disputed by Williams Heirs. Devisees of Shareholder in Brentwood Coal Com- pany Bring Suit. A suit involving the title to 13,316 acres ot land constituting a ranch in Contra Costa County was filed yesterday by Su- san C. Willlams and the other heirs of | Mrs. Zoe Willlams against the Balfour- Guthrie Investment Company and the| Savings and Loan Society. In addition to asking that title to the land be quieted, the plaintiffs ‘ask that an injunction issue restraining the defendants from collect- | ing the rents derived from the ranch pending the trial of the suit. It appears from the complaint that the CLOAK AND CUT-RATE land was at o6ne time owned by the Brentwood Coal Company, in which Mrs. | Zoe Williams held 13,340 shares of stock. | The company was dissolved in 1883 by the | Supreme Court of New York, but prior to its dissolution the land was mortgaged for $108,000 to James F. Sanford, who, be- sides holding the mortgage, took posses- | sion of the land as further security. In October, 1900, Sanford transferred his interest in the ranch to the Savings and Loan Soclety, and the Balfour-Guthrie Investment Company obtained it from the, society by purchase. The heirs of Mrs. Williams base their claim to inter- est in the ranch on the stock in the Brentwood Coal Company devised to them upon Mrs. Willlams' death. They claim the land ylelds a monthly income of $20,000 and that at the present time it is worth $600,000 over and above the face of the mortgage. Gas Caused His Death.
