The celebration began with a morning service at the church This service was opened with the sing- ing of Stainer’s famous cantata, “The Crucifixion,” by a chorus choir of fif volces under the direction of Percy A. R. Dow. The solo parts were rendered by Scott Kent and Norman Pendleton, tenors, and Reginald Marrack and Walter Burckhalter, barytones. the R Homer J.

This is Mrs. Mary Potter, who is still a member of the church.

Sterling, the daugh- ter of Mrs. Mary H. Sterling and a sis- ter of George Sterling, the well-known writer and poet of this city, and Ste- phen French, a widely known star of the theatrical profession, has just been announced. While no date has yet been set for the wedding, it is expected that it will be about the middle of the com- ing year. The engagement was unex- pected save to the family only. Mr. French, who last season was leading man with Mrs. Langtry, first met the young lady who is to be his wife more than a year ago. Several mogths ago they became engaged, but owing to uncertainty as to the date of the wedding the engagement was not made public at that time. Mr. French | came to Oakland two weeks ago as the t of Frank C. Havens, uncle of Sterling, and as he intended to ‘sm;nd the winter in this city arrange- ments were at once begun for an early wedding. Mr. French secured a mar- riage license last Friday, and it was intended that the ceremony should take place during the coming week. At the last moment unforeseen business mat- ters have interfered with the arrange- ments, causing a postponement of the wedding. He expects that if will be ary for him to leave Oakland a few days, and rather than hurry away immediately after his mar- riage he decided to posipone the event. When seen this evening at the Sterling home at Pledmont Mr. French said: “When I secured the marriage license on Friday I intended to be married within a week, but business matters which T did not foresee have made it necessary for me to leave Oakland at » and Miss Sterling and myself have decided to postpone the wedding until my return. Just when that will be I do not know definitely, but I think that graduation of a class from the primary | the wedding will take place during the department of the Sunday-school. The exercises ‘were ifi charge of Mrs. John G. Hoyt, superintendent of the primary department, assisted by Mrs. H. L. { Kemp, teacher of the boys' class, and Miss Jennie Egli, teacher of the girls’ class. The exercises were held in the large Sunday-school room, and included short speeches by each of the gradu- ates, music, addresses by Mrs. Hoyt and John M. Davis, superintendent of | the Sunday-school, and a short talk by the pastor of the church. The exercises conciuded with the presentation of | diplomas to the graduates. The members of the graduating class Walter Louls Woerner, Elmer Harvey Morrill, George Bernard Adams, Margaret Fay Downs, Anna, MacLafferty, Evelyn Hope Vosburgh, Irma Viona Clark and Marion Corinne Tambs. The evening service opened at 6:15 o'clock with a young people’'s rally, conducted by Henry W. Davis, director of religious work at the Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco. The rally was followed at 7:30 by the special music by the augmented choir. The features of the evening were ad- dresses by President Benjamin Ide ‘Wheeler of the University of California, who discussed “The Church in Modern Society,” and Frank J. Symmes, presi- San Francisco, who spoke on Church and the Higher Life of the Community.” . The Men's League of the church will hold a banquet to-morrow evening at 6:30 o’clock in the parlors of the church. The principal address will be delivered Stanford University. Other events have been arranged for each evening during the coming week. —_—————————— GIVE PRIZE MASQUERADE BALL. fourteenth_unniversary of the Chevra Shuare | i | dent of the Merchants' Assoctation of | “The | coming summer."” e SERVICES ARE HELD OVER Z.

The Sisters of Mercy will celebrate their golden jubilee on Thursday. These faithful women, who have given their lives {o labor in the cause of re- legion and to aid the poor, planned fo celebrate the fiftieth anni- versary of the founding of the order in this city with solemn devotions at St. Mary's Cathedral and at their chapel in St. Mary’s Hospital.

Jealousy, pistoling knd poison, two attempts at self-destruction and the ac- cidental shooting of one of a trio of participants in a domestic drama are the incidents which kept the residence ‘of P. K. Webster, 3840 Telegraph ave- nue, in a turmoil through last night. Adam Baker, a painter, 24 years old, added the third chapter to the book of disturbance by drinking a large quan- tity of laudanum at the residence at 2 o'clock this morning, after he had be- come impressed with an idea that he was the cause of the earlier quarrel be- tween Webster and his wife. Baker selected the front porch of the house as a setting for his attempt to get off the earth. The husband had re- turned from the Receiving Hospital, where his superficial wound had been treated. Mrs. Webster was at home, taking the rest cure after the exciting episode, when she had threatened to kill herself and had shot her husband. The Websters had been haranguing each other, making charges and counter charges. Baker, a boarder at the house for six weeks, learned that his name was being passed around during the discussion. “If I am the cause of this I'll end it all,” he avowed, rushing to the front porch and quaffing two stiff gulps from a large bottle. Baker tried to drink it all, but was prevented by Webster, who knocked the bottle from his hands. But Baker recovered the vial and soon aft- erward emptied it down his throat. He took enough to kill an elephant, and that'is what saved his life. He was treated at the Receiving Hospital. Baker is a son of the late Special Po- liceman Baker of Oakland. The young man, according to his somewhat inco- herent story, had trouble with relatives at San Jose and came to this city. He stopped at the Websters’ place and was much concerned about the domestic dif- ficultfes that led Webster a month ago to leave his wife. Last night the hus- band returned to make arrangements to place his two children in an institu- tion. He upbraided Mrs. Webster, and while the talk was heated she grabbed a small pistol, declaring she would shoot herself. While Webster struggled with the: woman a cartridge was ex- ploded, the bullet causing a slight flesh wound in Webster’s leg. ‘Webster and his wife were inter- viewed hy the police, but the husband refused to make any charge against her. They returied home together, only to take part in' another scene a few hours later. During the evening the couple talked about Baker. “You know that you have no right to talk about him,” declared Mrs. Webster at the Re- ceiving Hospital. “He is the best friend you've got.” JACOB RIIS TO LECTURE AT HEARST HALL BERKELEY, Dec. 4.—Anouncement has been made that Jacch Rils of New York, whom President Roosevelt once spoke of as Gotham's “most useful citizen,” is to deliver a lecture for the benefit of the West Berkeley College Settlement, at Hearst Hall, on December 21. His subject s to be ‘“Tony's Hardships.” Graduate Manager Ezra Decoto has been au- thorized by the executive committee of the As- sociated Students to have the old football field given a covering of turf. This Is expected to beautify and almost transform the historic spol. There will be 250 loads of sandy loam placed on the fleld, on wiich Australian' rye grass will be sown. Tha attention of President Wheeler has been called to the practice of crusoe playing in dulged in by students at the steps of North Hall, and it is expected that orders will be is- sued soon forbilding the so-called gambling same. .

Nance, military instructor, has announced that Monday, December 17, will be the last drill day of the term. He has ordered thg new Infantry regulations from Wastington, but they have not yet arrived. These regula- tions involve many radical changes, such as movements by squad formations instead of fours, as is now done. Plans are Leing considered by the freshmen debating class for a joint debate with the freshmen of Stanford. The society's banquet s to take place on Wednesday, January 25, at Stiles Hall. President A. F. White has the ar- rangements in charge. The intercollgiate debating committee has officially decided not to hold o “debate this year with the University of Washington, as was proposed by ihe latter some time ago. The reasons for the decision are that the Car- not and intercollegiate debate with Stanford come s0 close together that there will be no time for debaters to prepare for a third con- test, and as the hest men would be needed against Washington it 1s impossible to arrange the affair with the northern institution. Manager Decoto of the varsity football team has informed the Sherman Indian team that unless they are willing to have the second eleven sent down from here Christmas day no game can be played in Loo Angeles. The var- %y e is disorganized and in poor condition. Indians have not yet replied to Decoto's proposal. A heavy fine, amounting to $1 a day, for overdue books from the library is to be charged delinquents during the examination days. For twa years the restriction has been enforced and has worked admirably. The short course students in the agricultural college spent yesterday inspecting the Prince stock ranch at Stockion, under the direction of Professor Major. ————————— Library Books Damaged.

Speclal Policeman William Sprague also took a hand in the shoot- ing, but beyond the wound that Mur- ray received and the plugging with bullets of the residence of Dr. M. Muehlenbruch, 614 Thirteenth street, no harm was done. Murray is as posi- tive that he was shot by a burglar as the detectives are that in the exeite- ment the young man accidentally wounded himself. The shooting occurred In an area at the west side of the hotel and nine or ten shots were fired before the clerk and Sprague were through with the engagement. Dr. Muehienbruch, who was aroused by the fusillade, narrowly escaped being hit himself. He threw open a window overlooking the court yard and yelled for information. “Ping!” a bullet crashed through the side of the house, followed by two more. The doctor’s curiosity was then satisfied. A few minutes before the battle in the darkness occurred Murray and Sprague were in the hotel dining-room eating a light lunch. The elerk heard what he supposed was one of the guests entering by a side door that opens off an entrance from the court on the west side of the hotel. Mur- ray went out to see what had caused the disturbance and was surprised to find the door wide open. He stepped into the covered entrance way leading to a stairway into the yard, when a flash of flame and a report staggered him. He felt a spasm of pain in his left arm and a numbness. With that Murray drew his pistol and commenced firing toward a pile of boxes in the yard, behind which he supposed his assailant was entrenched. Murray fired five shots, emptying his pistol. He could not handle the weapon to reload it until he had opened the barrel catch with his teeth. Four more cartridges were inserted. Mur- ray shot twice more and was re-en- forced by Sprague. Sprague could not see anyone, but he fired two bullets. Policemen hurried to the hotel in response to calls and made a search of the vicinity, but without success. Murray was insistent that he had been shot at and that the man who fired was g0 close that his coat sleeve was burned where the bullet entered his arm. The missile passed through the upper part of the arm, inflicting a painful, but not dangerous, wound. Murray went to St. John's Hospital, Thirteenth and Grove streets, for treatment. Detectives Kyte and Quigley investi- gated to-day and reported that Mur- ray must have shat himself. They found a bullet imbedded in the side of the hallway where Murray stood that is of the same caliber as the cart- ridges in the clerk’s pistol. Murray explained as follows: As 5001 as I stepped into the hall T was shot. I am sure of it, and I did not commence to fire until I felt the wound in my arm. The detect- ives think I shat myself. But I am positive I was shot by a burglar, or by some one who was trying to get into the hotel. Sprague told the detectives that the clerk had been wounded before he got to the door. The special policeman is positive he did not shoot Murray be- cause his pistol does not carry the same size cartridges as that which wounded the clerk. Murray came to Oakland six months ago from London, Ontario. He has been employed at the hotel for three months. ————————— ENGINEERS TO LEAVE ON INSPECTING TOUR Two That Will Report on Bay Cities Water Company Project Lose No Time. OAKLAND, Dec. 4.—City Engineer F. Turner, A. M. Hunt and J. M.

OAKLAND, Dec. 4—Penning two live cats in a back-yard at Seventh and Linden streets and allowing a dog to tear them to death was the charge registered against Henry Rubino, 25 years old, and Salvador Rubino, 14 years old, his nephew, to-day, when neighbors of the pair caused their ar- rest by Policeman Scanlan. The Rubinos had turned a dog loose upon the cats and were enjoying the slaughter to their hearts’ content, ac- cording to several persons who saw the unequal struggle from windows overlooking the Rubino premises. It aroused the indignation of the on- lookers to such a pitch that they sent for the police. Patrolman Secanlan investigated and arrested the uncle HONOR IS PAID THE DEPARTED Memorial Day Celebrated by the Brothers of Oak- land Lodge of the Elks UNUSUAL MUSIC GIVEN Two Minister Members of the Order Aid in the Programme of the Event A L R Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Dec. 4. Oakland Lodge No. 171 of Elks held its annual memorial services for de-| parted brothers at the First Congre- gational Church this afternoon. Many Elks from other cities were present, in- cluding the Rev. Charles L. Miel of Sacramento, who delivered the eulogy for the departed. The great church was filled with members of the lodge and their friends. The lodge members gathered in the Sunday-school room of the church, then filed into the main auditorium and oc- cupied reserved seats. Every Elk wore ! a little bunch of violets in his coat, pur- ple being the color of the order and the mourning color as well. The music was a specigl feature of the exercises and was under the direc- tion of Alexander T. Stewart, aided by + Miss Virginie de Fremery as organist of the great church organ, one of the finest in the State, together with the full choir of the church and soloists in the persons of Mrs. Grace Davis Northrup, Mrs. Carroll Nicholson, Arthur Macur- da, Henry L. Perry and Thomas Va- lerga. James M. Shanley, exalted ruler of the lodge, conducted the ceremonies. Rev. William Carson Shaw, chaplain| of the lodge, delivered the opening prayer and the closing benediction. The original programme of the day was car- ried out owing to the unexpected recov- ery of the Rev. Charles L. Miel of Sac- ramento, who had promised to deliver the eulogy for the dead. Some days ago Mr. Miel was announced to be too sick to come to Oakland, and George W. Frick, teemed loyal knight of the lodge, was substituted. Two eulogies | were delivered. Fletcher A. Cutler of San Francisco was the orator. He spoke first of the beauties of real fraternity, and asserted it as his belief that true fraternal so- cieties such as the Elks were doing much to bring humanity together and to promote brotherly love and peace | with mankind. He told of the beauty of | the memorial day of the Elks and of the exemplification of the motto of charity by the Christmas dinner given annually by Oakland Lodge. Rev. Charles L. Miel spoke of car- dinal principles of the order—brotherly love, justice, charity and fidelity—and how by spreading these good was done to the world. George W. Frick spoke more particu- larly of the dead of Oakland Lodge, all of whom he had known intimately, and his graceful semtiments were appre- ciated by all. The departed brothers are: J. C. Fry, May 31, 1801; W. W. Moare, February 11, 1594; J. W. Hood, May 21, 1594 T. H. Downey, June 8, 1884: F. H. M July 6, 1894; J. Vance, October : g Schroeder, December H.
