Knight to the effect | that certain evidence in the Botkin murder case had passed from the juris- | diction of the court proves to be with- out foundation. The exemplars, exhib- its and every document appertaining to the case which appeared in evidence at the original trial were all placed in| charge of Oscar Tolle, the deputy clerk | of the court at that time, and by him locked up in the vault in the former | court rooms of Judge Carroll Cook, | which rooms are now used by the Hast- | ings Law College. The documents have | always remained there and have never | been disturbed- until yesterday, when Tolle, under an order from Judge Cook, | proceeded to the vault and there found everything intact and in the same con- dition as when originally put there. | The prescription book belonging to the Owl Drug Store was returned to that company after the trial was con- | cluded and a receipt was given to De- tective Lees for the same at that time, which receipt is in possession of the ex- | ecutors of the late detective. The can. | dies that were alleged to have melted jand dissolved were found to be in fine condition.

ATI, Dec. 20.—With the Ohio River frozen over and great gorges at many places, a rise of nearly three feet to-day threatens danger for all kinds of craft. A harbor steam- ship was sunk here to-day by a “run- out of ice.” EVANSVILLE, Dec. 20—Owing to heavy rains last night there is alarm among steamboat men for fear the; Louisville will break. ————————— Dr. Tyndall's Lecture. Dr. Alexander J. Mclvor-Tyndall gave the last of his series of public lectures on psychic sclence at Steinway Hall last evening to a very large audience. The feature of the evening was the ex- planation and reproduction of the feats of “the Georgia Magnet.” Dr. MclIvor-| Tyndall said that he did not as a rule attempt to explain any phenomena that were presented on a purély amusement basis, but that he made an exception in this case because there is a general opinion that the phenomena presented by Miss Abbott are either fraudulent or | supernatural. As neither hypothesis was correct, he decided to answer the many inquiries in regard to it by dem- onstrating the truth of his explanation. Most of the feats produced by ‘“the Georgia Magnet” were given and the method of their accomplishment scien- tifically explained on the law of the pa- rallelogram of forces. Many interest- ing and entertaining experiments in the power of thought were also made, Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall again explaining that the power he demonstrates so marvel- ously is a perfectly natural one. The famous teacher of psychic science ex- pects to leave shortly for Los Angeles to fill engagements there. —_———— Nearly Meets Death by Gas. E. W. Green, a ‘laborer, blew out the gas last night in his room at 322 Third street. He was discovered in an unconscious state and removed to the Emergency Hospital. The doctors say he will recover. —————— Benefit for McKinnon Fund. The members of Cathedral Council No. 59, ¥ M. I, are actively engaged in preparing a grand benefit for the McKinnon memorial fund and have se-, cured the Alhambra Theater for the evening of February 9, 1904. It is the intention of the committee in charge to give a grand vaudeville entertain- ment, the numbers to be contributed EWS OBSERVE ANCIENT FEAST Children Celebrate Chanukah, Which Marks Great Vietory and -Restoration of Temple FESTIVAL OF CENTURIES; —_— Large and Devout Congrega- tions Render Thanksgiving Prayer and Join in Hymns Lo The seventh day of the feast of Cha- nukah, or festival of lights, was -cele- brated yesterday by the children of the Jewish community. Many hundreds of them attended the synagogues during the afternoon and evening and the services were left to them to conduct. The children per- formed sacred office in each instance with remarkable force, reading or®re- citing the lessons both in Hebrew and English and singing beautiful hymns of Joy. The origin of the feast of Chanukah dates from the year 3622 (according to the Jewish calendar), when Judah, the son of Mattathias, routed the Syrian army. Judah then regained possession of the temple, which for many years had been lost to the Jews. Then came the purifying and rededication of the sacred edifice wherein worship was re- sumed on the 25th day of Kislev in the vear 3622. Rejoicing over the signal victory has ever been observed from that date, 2042 years ago, by the Jew- ish race. The festivities in the afternoon at the Bush-street synagogue, at the Jewish | Educational Society’s Free: Religious School and at the handsome new syna- gogue, Congregation Keneseth Israel, on Russ street, were marked with un- usual enthusiasm on the part of the children. Rabbis and officlals were present at each place of worship where- in the celebration was being observed. At the Bush-street Synagogue Rabbi Isfdore Myers prepared a sacred pro- gramme of rejoicing, in which the chil- dren conducted the entire service in Hebrew and English. Cantor M. Salo- non, aided by the choir, rendered an- cient melodies centuries old. One of the ancient customs of pre- senting each child with a bag of sweet- meats was duly observed and prizes in addition were awarded for efficiency in the religious classes. At Congregation Keneseth Israel and at the Free Religious School,” Folsom street, the children were bountifully feasted. The Rev. Dr. Nieto presided at the | festival exercises at Congregation Sherith Israel and the children con- ducted the services. Miss Sadie Green read the chapter of the book of Macca- bees which recounts the incident of the re~olt and rededication of the temple and Louis Young recited from memory the one Psalm. Congregation Beth Israel was crowd- { ed in the evening and the programme was especially appropriate to the festal occasion. ADVERTISEMENTS. 89 Stockton Street. TELEPHONE—MAIN 5523.

ALWAYS RELIABLE PIAN ST.S.F 16, O'FARRELL hundred and twenty-fourth | DOGS TRIUMPH AT PLAYHOUSE Canines Are Headliners on Orpheum Bill and Perform Melodrama in Faultless Style FIREMEN AT THE GRAND ST S Give Exciting Exhibition After Presentation of “a Little Out- cast” of Fighting Blaze £ A e “The more I see of men the better I like dogs.” The Orpheum Road Show rather re- minds of this amiable epigram. The dogs have it on the bill, Merian's dogs. Not that good people are lacking, but the dog’s the thing. Last week a horse set one to wonder- ing as to the difference between “horse sense” and ours; this week a French| poodle propounds new problems as to instinct and reason. Mr. Morrissey will probably find a donkey next week to convince that it 1s no great thing, after all, to be a man. Meantime, Merian's dogs are good enough. They are the cleverest, funniest troupe ever seen here, their act the oddest. The French poodle, Caesar, does mind reading very cleverly, and then comes the rest of the company in a melodrama, “The Faith- less Woman.” This is a drama played entirely by the dogs. It is in two acts, and with a luminous plot. The lead- ing canine is Bobby, who, as a wronged bhusband, Pratzenbauer, scored a great hit. Hamele, his fair but frail partner, was impersonated by Fido with great emctional power. Sepo, the Don Juan of the cast, was brilliantly essayed by Filas, who managed to keep on his hind | legs throughout the performance. The company was handsomely costumed { and wore shoes, and from the time the | gay Lothario meets the village beauty, | to where he is carried off barking from | her paws by the police dog, there { wasn't a hitch. The scenery, charming, !is by Frohdog. | Almost as clever as the dogs are E. | F. Reynard's mechanical figures, with fReynard‘s wonderful ventriloquism be- thind them. Mr. Reynard is a whole vil- |lage in himself and has provided some | | excellent fun with his ventriloquial | marvels. He, too, is what the press | agents are fond of calling a “top notch- |er.” Those delightful troubadours, the | Melani trio, are always favorites, and this year have a delightful turn, sing- ing, strumming and fiddling their way | victoriously to their audience’s heart. | Elizabeth Murray brings some new Irish stories, witty and as wittily told as usual, and rivals Ernest Hogan him- | self in her coon songs. Ernest Hogan's | sketch, “A Missionary Man,” is not the | | best the “unbleached American” has |- | been seen in. It somehow just fails to | “get there.” Hogan himself is in fine singing.form, has good songs and has a useful assistant in Miss Mattie Wilkes. The juggling act—and what would a | road show be without a juggler?—is ex- cellent. The juggler is Henri Humber- |ty, and his turn is both clever and inovel. For the rest Albertus and Mil- | lar throw Indian clubs at each other in fascinating fashion when they are not | playing the cornet; the four Nightons are virtuosi of the rings and trapeze. | Fred Eckhoff and Anna Gordon, who | complete the bill, have evidently wan- | }dered in from a “supper show.” i BLANCHE PARTINGTON. | . | The first performance in ald of the | widows’ and orphans’ fund of the Fire | Department took place at the Grand iOpern»house vesterday afternoon. Not- | withstanding the threatening weather, | {2 good house turned out to witness the | | production, “A Little Outcast,” one of | | those stirring melodramas that always | | appeals to the heart of the gallery god. | | The audience seemed to like the show | and applauded each thrilling scene, but | ; @s soon as the fire laddies made their | | appearance on the stage after the fall | of the curtain the real cheering com- i menced. Tt was a scene from real life | and there was nothing lacking to make | it excitingly realistic. I The first scene shows the interior of | | a firehouse. Harry Hook, the popular | { policeman, strolls leisurely in and |passes a few remarks with the fire | captain. iturned in and then the real activity | | of their beds above the stage and slide | | down the Jadders. The horses are | | hitched to the hose wagon in waiting | and the vehicle dashes off the stage at | | a furious pace. i The next scene represents the fire. A | | crowd of a hundred men, women and children dash across the stage, fol- | lowed by the policemen, who promptly i round them all up and rope off the dan- gerous places. Then the engines ar- rive and the work of rescue and fire fighting is inaugurated. The firemen adjust the ladders in a twinkling and climb up to the second | story, where the inmates of the burn- ing building are waiting to be rescued. Some are packed down on the backs of | the stalwart firemen, cthers jump into . the waiting net and then the flames are | extinguished, amid the cheering of the crowd. The firemen’s quartet rendered sev- eral pleasing selections and were heart- | {ly encored three times. Miss Nellie R. Waters, daughter of the battalion chief | of the department, rendered several airs on the musical snowbells before the fire scenes tock place. ——————————— Falls and Breaks Leg. Mrs. Thomas Melany fell down stairs at her home, 102 Austin street, yesterday afternoon, breaking her right leg. She was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where her broken limb was set. .
