Mec- Coy, who composed the Hamadryad mu- sic for the Bohemian Club jinks and who in many other ways has attest- ed his ability as a composer and au- thority upon musie, is to deliver the st of his series of lectures on the music in the symphony concert course at the university at Hearst Hall next Monday nigat. At the first lecture Mr. McCoy, after stating the functions and positions of the instruments composing the orches- tra, will give a brief account of the development of the symphony as a sonata for an orchestra from Haydn to Mozart. The allegretto and minuetto from Haydn's Military Symphony will then be analyzed, the themes il- lustrated on the plano and their com- bination shown by the performance of the entire movements on the orches- trelle. The overture form will then be considered and the distinction between operatic and dramatic overtures shown, preliminary to an anlysis of Beeth- oven’s “Coriolanus” and Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer Night's Dream” over- tures. After a brief account of the characteristics of Russian music, the style and tendencies of Tschaikowsky will be stated and the development of the modern -symphony explained. The “Symphonle Pathetique” will then be enzlyzed and illustrated, as was Hay- dn’s. Finally the theory of the con- struction of Wagner's music dramas will be stated and the prelude to “Dis Meistersinger” will be analyzed, {llus- trated and performed. This will add very decidedly to the understanding and appreciation of these masterpieces when they are per- formed by the orchistra on Thursday afternoon, and the series will contrib- ute greatly to the musical education | of the public. e MUSIC IN GREEK THEATER.

OAKLAND, March 24—The attractive young flancee of Roger Chickering, Miss Theo Parr of Alameda, is furnishing a charming motif for many of the smartest affairs of the moment. Yesterday Mrs. Allan Chickering was hostess at a large tea in compliment to the bride-to-be. Mrs. John Overbury (nee Chickering) has re- turned from her bridal flitting and shared the honors at the tea. Happiness is a great beautifier, and Mrs. Overbury is still wearing the radiant smile with which she went to the altar. She and her husband are en route to Bullfrog, Nev., their fu- ture home. This evening Mrs. Overbury . played hostess in honor of the maid who is to be her sister-in-law. The guests enjoyed din- ner in the palm garden at the Palace first, and then followed the fortunes of “Little Johnnie Jones™” at the Columbia. . e e Another engaged girl has been added to the list who promises to furnish an excuse for much entertaining between now and the great day that is still a secret. The young lady in question is Miss Charlotte Thomas, the pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Thomas of Fruitvale, whose engagement to Edward T. Foulkes of San Francisco was made public this afternoon in a delightfully original manner. The guests—thirty or more—had been in- vited ostensibly to meet the Misses Latta of San Jose, and a game of flve hyndred was the hour’s amusement. But the first hand almost “broke up the meeting.” In each deck the ace of hearts had been adorned with a pen and ink sketch of Cupld with drawn bow, while a lovers’ knot was twined about the names of Miss Thomas and her flance.” The bedlam of congratulations that broke forth made mere card playing a matter of impossibil- ity fer a time, and not unti the whole sweet story had been told was there any use for a new deal. Miss Thomas is an Oakland High and U. C. girl and a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. Mr. Foulkes is a prominent young archi- tect, a Stantord graduate and a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology in Boston, where he won the Rotch scholarship. Miss Thomas' guests today were Miss Florence Latta, Miss Edna- Latta, Miss May Morton, Miss Hazel McGraw, Miss Scott, Miss Rena Scott, Mrs. B. C. Scott, Miss Florence French, Mrs. Charles Hart ‘Wilcox, Miss Edna Orr, Miss Edna Prath- er, Miss Marguerite Vesper, Miss Sadie Drinkwater, Miss Geraldine McGraw, Miss Bdith McGraw, Miss Gertrude Bvans, Miss Ethel Johnson, Miss Sue Herstand, Miss Margaret Taylor, Miss Belle Ashley, Miss Maud Scott, Miss Mary Bush, Miss Ruth Vickery, Miss Jessie Bowers, Miss Alice Porterfield, Miss Ethel B. Richard- son, Miss Julle Damom, Miss Carolyn Palmanteer, Miss Georgia Rattan, Miss Leverne Marshall, Miss Lois Jameson, Miss Thomas, Mrs. George K. Fish and Mrs. L. B. Biddle. . Another engagement announcement that took the soclal set by surprise this week was that of Miss Ruth Morse and Jenkin Benvins Johns. Miss Morse is the daugh- ter of Mrs. F. Bradford Morse and a sister of Mrs. Henry A. Melvin. She is also the sister of Miss Mary Alverta Morse, the singer, and through her work as accom- panist for her talented relative has be- come quite well known in the musical as well as soclal world. v e 4 Mrs. Willlam Gardiner Cooke has re- turned from Honolulu and yesterday was the guest of honor at a luncheon over which Mrs. Dan Belden - presided. Among the guests were Mrs. Walter Starr,*Mrs. Adolph Graupner, Mrs. Dennis Searles, Miss Bessle Palmer, Miss Alice Knowles, Miss Ruth Knowles, Miss Flor- ence Hush, Miss Marion Goodfellow, Miss Elsie Marwedel, Miss Wilcox and Miss Florinne Brown. « o The Oliver skating party last night at Maple Hall brought out all the young peo- ple of the smart set, and it was one of the jolliest affairs of the season. It was such a comfort to have plenty of room to skate in. The merry crowd included Miss May Coogan, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Belden, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lowden, Miss Allen, Miss Knowles, Dr. and Mrs. Harry Alder- son, Mrs. Lilllan Brown Everts, Miss Brown, Miss Chabot, Jessie Fox, Miss Ruth Kales, Miss Rose Kales, Miss Lucre- tia Burnham, Mr. and Mrs. Whipple Hall, Miss Hall, Charles D.

BERKELEY, March 24.—Miss Gladys Meyer, who is rated as perhaps the most prominent and influential woman student at the university, has been obliged to leave college and is now an inmate of the East Bay Sanitarium on Telegraph avenue, Oakland. News of her critical condition and the danger with which she is threatened was ¢ir- culated on the campus today after un- usual effort had been made to hide from even her friends the circumstances of the case. Miss Meyer is suffering, it is stated, from a breakdown of the nervous sys- tem, brought aboyt by intense applica- tion to study, and to_student activities at the university. Complete cessation of all this has béen ordefed by her phy- siclans, who realize the seriousness of her condition and plan to restore her to her place among the ‘“co-ed” con- tingent, if that is possible, at an early date. “At the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority house, where Miss Meyer has her home, it was stated this afternoon that the young woman student is recelving all the attention and care possible to be given by nurses and doctors and her sorority. sisters entertain the hope that she will suffer ne serious or permanent injuries as the result of her breakdown. It was admitted that she is completely prostrated. It was while serving recently as ed- itor in chief of the women’'s edition of the Pelican that Miss Meyer achieved unique fame at the university, and also laid the foundation of the trouble which culminated in her breakdown. She produced, with a staff of girl as- sistants, the cleverest and most suc- cessful women's edition of the Pelican, the humordus paper of the university, that has ever been issued. The strain was too great for a girl of delicate physique, when added to the weight of her other responsibilities. She is an officer in many “ce-ed” organizations, wielding, perhaps, more influence than any other among the thousand and more ‘“co-eds’, at the university. ——————————— DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.

OVER A WOMAN Pastor Declares City Official |Sausalito Trustee Denounces;Rose Decker the Cause of Should Retract a Charge of Church Gambling WITHDRAW OR RESIGN Rev. Frank S. Brush De- livers Scorching Criticism of William M. Bowers ALAMEDA,’ March 24—Rev. Frank S. \Brush of the First Presbyterian Church | believes that City Trustee Willlam M. ; Bowers owes an apology to the majority of the persons who elected, him for the | remark the municipal legistator made last { Monday night at the City Trustees’ meet- ing when he said during a discussion of nickel-in-the-slot machines that ‘“‘every church and Sunday school in Alameda runs grab-bags, raffles and games of chance for money.” Should the apology not be forthcoming, Rev. Mr. Brush de- | clares that the only manly course for the City Trustee is to resign. In the Church News, a local publication, the following, written by Rev, Mr. Brush, appeared today: “'That the churches and Sunday schools of Alameda run grab-bags, raffles and games of chance for money was the state- ment of Trustee Bowers of the City Council last Monday evening when he gpoke in defense of the slot machines and upheld the disreputable saloon called the Mellwood. Mr. Bowers should be re- membered in this community as the man who made this wholesale and qualified attack upon the churches of Alameda. For sheer insolence and grossness I have never seen it surpassed. He undoubtedly recelved hundreds of votes from church members and probably my own vote. “His remark is a direct and an entirely uncalled for insult to scores of men who did him the honor to vote for him. He made his remark on the floor of the Council when acting in his capacity as a Trustee and representative of the peo- ple. He is an absolute misrepresentative of the great majority of the people who voted for him. He first spoke in defense of gambling devices and then in defense of the wretchedly disreputable saloon, the Mellwood, and then to cap the climax of his consclenceless audacity he said, “The churches and Sunday schools of Ala- meda run’grab-bags, raflles and games of chance for money." “We call this a Christian community. If it 1s a Christian community 8oes a man who defends gambling and dens of vice and then to justify himself accuses the churches of running gambling devices represent this community? Preachers are sometimes accused of makingsweep- ing assertions, but wherever was there such a flagrant example as this? If, as Mr. Bowers asserts, one or even two churches permit these immoral practices it does not make them right nor does it excuse any Trustee from executing the laws that he has sworn to uphold. It would Pe one thing to say that the men of Alameda are gamblers and quite an- other thing to say there are gamblers in Alameda. Mr. Bowers owes an apology to the large majority of the people who voted for him. If he does not do this the only manly course for him is to re- sign from an office for Which he has demonstrated his unfitness by wholesale and malicious falsehood.

BERKELEY, March 24, — President Wheeler has suggested to the Filipino students at the Unlversity of California that they might profit more by inter- esting themselves in social and eco- nomic questions rather than by giv- ing their main efforts to matters po- litical.

SAUSALITO, March 24—At the last meeting of the Town Trustees, Trustee ‘Willlam J. Martin, speaking to a question of personal privilege, read the circular let- ter recently issued by the Sausalito Mu-, nicipal®League. The letter violently at- tacked the present Board of Town Trus- tees. It was issued, it is belleved, for the purpose of defeating Trustees B. H. Shoe- maker and Jacques Thomas, who are can- didates for re-election. Trystee Martin denounced the authors of the letter as “liars and midnight assassins of char- acter who sneaked from their homes un- der the cover of darkness and prepased their venomous attack upon honest men."” Trustee Martin then showed the excel- ¢ lent condition of municipal affairs, due to the work of the present board. He showed that previous Trustees did not accomplish as much good as the members of the pres- ent board. Martin pointed out that the abolition of Sunday picnics, the new water rate regulations, the decrease in sa- loons, the permanent seawall, street and sidewalk improvements, the installation and extension of street lighting and the prevention of a gift of valuable water front in return for nothing but a promise, ndt even backed by a bond of any de- scription, were the work of the present board. The poolroom question was also taken up by Martin, who read a list of the different boards, commencing with that of 1883. The poolrooms were opened in 18%6. The board of 18% tried by all pos- sible legal means to prevent the poolrooms running, but they were beaten in the courts. The two rooms now running each pay a license of $500 annually. ———— APPROVES . dE SENTENCES OF TWO COURTS-MARTIAL R President Passes Upon Cases of Lieu- tenants Kirkman and Little of the Army.

Ponciano Reyes and J. C. Araneta have resigned and are return- ing to the Philippines. P. C. Guazon is now editor in chief and Jesus Gon- zales is Spanish editor and Liborio Go- mez English editor.
