Governor Present at Testi- monial to Former Oak- land Girl. Of all Nance O'Nell's career on the stage and of all her trlumphs, whether in this country or across the water, one of the proudest moments for her must | have been last night, when she was pre- | sented with a golden wreath as a token | of the appreciation of her friends. The | occasion was a testimonial to Miss O'Neil and the Grand Opera-house was crowded. | Every seat was occupled and standing room could not be had at any price. Gov- | ernor Pardee and party occupled one of | | the boxes. The presentation was made my Mayor Schmitz, who took occasion to teil Miss O'Neil what high regard the people of her native State have for her. The presentation occurred at the end of the third act. Before the Mayor walked out on the stage to give the popu- lar actress the golden wreath the au- | dience showered her with fragrant flow- ers. She received the floral tributes with pretty graciousness and the audience kept up a perfect storm of applause. In making the presentation, Mayor Schmitz told of Nance O'Neil's triumph on the stage. He congratulated her and told how proud her friends were that she had become one of the foremost actresses. Miss O'Nell was evidently deeply touched, but she thanked the Mayor for his kindness in presenting the wreath, the Governor for his presence at the testimonial and her audience for thelr demonstration in her honor. The ap- | | plause which followed Miss O'Neil's re- marks continued for several minutes. The play presented was ‘“Magda,” Miss O'Nell appearing In the title role. She and other members of the company were frequently applauded for their clever work. The plays which will be produced | | for the remainder of this week, which is Miss O'Neil's last at the Grand Opera- house, will be “Judith” at the matinee this afternoon and to-night, and “Lady Ingre of Ostrat” to-morrow night, which will be her farewell performance. e | ! 2 Sequoia’s Anniveérsary Ball.

CONGREGATIONS LISTEN TO EARNEST ADDRESSES | Dr. Nieto Speaks on Charity and Dr. | Voorsanger on Rightful Name of People. | Rev. Dr. Voorsanger addressed his con- | gregation last night at Temple Emanu-El | on the important questions, of which he sald so many people seemed ignorant, “Am I a Jew? Am I a Hebrew? AmIan Israelite?” | At tha last national assembly the namse | “Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions” was changed to “Union of Ameri- can Jewish Congregations,” and on this | He treated his subject from the time of | Abraham, the Hebrew founder of the ple of Israel, which is a substitute for | the word Hebrew, who lived north of the | leaving Judah to be leader of the clans. | The Hebrew derived his name, not from | a family, but a condition, for he was a wanderer over the face of the earth. In | conclusion Dr. Voorsanger sald: | We are Hebrews, if we think of the nomadic condition of our ancestors. We are Israelites, jong as we have our ecause that is our Jews mission. We are Rev. Dr. Nieto delivered a sermon at Congregation Sherith Israel, taking as his subject, “Charity as the Jew Taught It.” He said the fact that there was no word for beggar in the Old Testament proved that at least in Bible times there was no need for what to-day is termed Continuing he said: | What we to-day term sclentific charity, the ing of concern for the welfare of the communi- ty, that charity which is really a deep interest in’the well-being of the less fortunate and af- fords relief without humiltation and without destroying manhood and self-respect—that Iis the kind of charity the Jew taught. ————— SECRETARY 0.
