Dr. Alex J. Mclvor-Tyndall expects to close his present series of psychic science lectures here to-night. The subject for to-night's discourse will be “Our Common Birthright.” Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall has had a marvelous popularity here in the somewhat dif- ficult task of teaching the principles of what he has designated as psychic science, as distinguished Yrom phy: ical science. The very evident success which he has attained in his efforts is doubtless due to the fact that he is at all times logical, scientific .and practical in his theories, adhering strictly to rationalism, even while dealing with the obscure phenomena | of the forces that are as yet invisible. | In addition to a very pleasing address and a power of clear deduction, the distinguished exponent of the un- known possesses a marvelous psychic development that enables him to dem- onstrate the psychic powers and fac- ulties of which he speaks. This he does in an entertaining manner that appeals to the amusement lover as well as to the seeker after knowledge. The lecture to-night will be followed by demonstrations of psychic phe- nomena, and the evening will close the lecture series for the present year. Solving the Servant Problem. Two Pacific Heights families announce their solution of the servant problem by planning to spend the Christmas holi- days at Hotel del Monte. That pro- gramme means rest and comfort for all and a midwinter outing that will fit the heads of the households for buckling down to the business of the new year with a most almighty zest. Walking, golfing, driving and riding will raise the spirits and develop startling appetites, which the hotel feasts will be ready to satisfy in a gladdening way tbAt would make old Epicurus nimself show his teeth in happy content. Why don't you go to Del Monte for Christmas, or, bet- ter yet, gn down there next Saturday and spend the Christmas week there? 4 —_———— Children of Mary to Meet.

Judge Cabaniss adjourned his court yesterday in respect to the memory of ex-Judge Willlam Caldwell, who dled Friday morning. In eulogy of the virtues of the deceased jurist the court said that his most conspicuous and commendable quality was an in- nate spirt of courtesy reflective of ex- cellent rearing. An absolute devotion to the interests of his clients was an- other trait worthy of emulation by all practitioners of law. “Judge Caldwell jdentified himself absolutely with His client,” said the court, “and did all that his-learning and experience pos- sibly could have done to avail the lat- ter; yet that same courtesy of manner, king in that instance the form of a gard for the feelings of others, en- abled him to do all this without, so faf as my knowledge goes, the making of even one enemy.” The motion to adjourn court was made by Attorney ‘Walter Gallagher. 2 ———— B.F.Stoll, dentist; Haight & Masonle av.* EXPERT OPTICIAN.
