PETERSBRG, April 15.—The Easter | festival, the anniversary of the Jewish | massacres at Kishenev and other: places, happily was not marred this year, so far as was reported up to midnight, by anti- | Jewish excesses. The measures taken by the central government and the orders sent to the provincial authorities to take every precaution, with the added warn- ing that they would be held personally responsible for outbreaks, apparently were effective, though the danger will not be over until the Easter holidays shall have passed. X | The high church feast was celebrated | today in the usual fashion—with much ‘eating and drinking and the exchange of { the kiss of peace. Some slackening in the | | old religious fervor was noticeable, es- pecially in St. Petersburg. This is attrib- uted to the revolutionary propaganda which, in striking at the roots of the state, touched also blind devotion to the church TIFLIS.

TANGIER, April 15.—Grave anti-Jewish manifestations took place here today, dur- ing which the Jews were threatened with death. The agitators paraded the streets and afterward hanged and burned effigles dressed in Israelite costumes, R S STAR BOXERS IN TRAINING AT CROLL'S GARDENS, ALAMEDA Frankle Neil, Keves, Fitzpatrick Kirk Give Clever Exhibitions for Many Spectators. +There is a colony of representative boxers at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, at present which is attracting the atten- tion of the ring goers.

The four-oared bafge Dolphin, the property of the boating club-of the |same name, was wrecked yesterday morning off Green-street dock. The five occupants of the boat—J. R. Keenan, Horace Perazzi, Charles Farrell, Adam Schuppert and John Peat—had to leap into the water and swim for their lives. They were rescued Iimmediately by passing craft. At the time of the acci- dent they were passing down the bay, just abreast of Green street, when the boat was suddenly struck by a big wave, which swamped the frail craft. They leaped into the water, and, all being expért swimmers, struck out for the barge John Wieland, which was close by, and were soon hauled on board that boat. In the mean time the Dolphin had turned turtle. As the barge lay bottom up she was hit by a succession of heavy seas with such force that she was torn in two. ——————— ROBBED BY HIS GUESTS.—Yahicha Mu- meda intended to return to Japan by Satur- day’s steamer, but his departure has been post- poned.

Bicnnial - Convention Data From: State President: Mrs.R P Hill. - —— BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. 1f you were to ask the California Club— that part of it ‘that has not been stung | with the “society” bug—what is the most ' vital problem before the American public today, it would tell you that it is ot the capital and labor question, nor the tariff ! tangle, nor the Philippine policy, nor the Panama canal, nor the adjustment of, trusts, nor the righting of wrongs in high ! public places; but its children—how to | rear them into worth while American citi- | zens, to implant within them clean minds ' anad high ideals, with the concurrent sense | of justice; and ten years hence these na- tional and local® problems will begin to golve themselves. No country, no state, ; no city, no neighborhood, is better than its citizens. Therefore to lift a country, a state, a city, or a neighborhood we must first lift the little citizen—upon whom will soon devolve the shaping of,; ['its destinies. In short, if the wrongs, the' sins, the crimes of'the country are to be overcome—or even overtaken—a system- atic training for citizenship is necessary. _-And thercfore is it that the energies of the best people of the'country are bent toward the guidance of children—particu- larly those who are wholly or partly left to shift for themselves at a tender age. And this is the chosen work of the Cali- fornia Club—that part of it that thinks— and most of it does. s And tomorrow that part of,’the club, under; the leadership of Mrs. A. A. Schloss, will devote the afternoon to dis- cussions upon kindred topics. Judge Murasky will talk upon “The Child and the State,”” and Major Sidney 8. Peixotto, head worker of the Columbia Park Boys' Club upon “The Value of Or- ganized Play.” ” » That Judge Murasky will keep his en- gagement with the club after the heavy blow that ‘death dealt to him but a few days ago is proof if the timber of which he is made. May he find solace in the work he seeks to do, even as has many another. Work is the gift of God to the heavy laden. The value of both of these talks lies in the first-hand knowledge of the speakers, Major Peixotto having solved in his own way many perplexing problems that con- cern the irrepressible. boy. In the current number of Out West, upon his Boys' Club, to which I commend you, if you love boys—he says: All ghe philanthropie friends of this country are strugglins With this “boy problem.” The boy is the:subject of conferences and of end- less essays. In spite of, all the energy de- voted to lils betterment and welfare, it is'if- Acult-to. peint- to-manst e factory ex- pressions of -boy, r@ccomplighments. - With my fifteen years of experience 1 would say that the great cause for failure Hes in the fact that most of us wish to give the boys of our country that which we think they ought to have and not that which the boys desire and seek. It Is this spirit of unwillingness to get down to their level and draw them up to ours which makes so much unsatisfactory and unsuccess-' ful work. I realized long ago that these fads of giving boys talks about their personal clean- liness, of getting their spare nickels for dues to teach them self-respect, or lecturing them as to their treatment of dumb animals and about the cleanliness of their neighborhood, had but a passing and almost fleeting significance to them. 1 realized that what they needed more than auything else was association, and training, and vigorous methods by which they would be dragged from their comatose state and unhealthful and narrow surroundinge Into an atmosphere- of vigor and life, and uplifting influences. The main thought must be how to get them, there, and how to hold" them there; ard T belleve that the Columbia Park Boys' Clnb is one of the best exptessions today of hat such an institution should be to the city Y. e Tn a_couatry given over so completely to the love of sport as America s growing to be, 1t is necessary, in catering to the wants of youth, to enter into the athletic fleld with all the spirit that boys put into a work which the The American boy above all things Is & lover of sport. He loves his baseball and his outdoor play more than anything else in the whole world. - I have found that this s the most attractive force in the club work, and so, from the earliest foundation, we have given the boys the opportunity to play among themrelves with the finest influences surround- ing their struggles;” with men to supervise their game, their passions, and teach them how to play with their heads and with thefr hearts, and to eliminate the quarrels which, as a rule, dominate the struggles of the young. ‘Whether you have a new bonnet or not, you can’t afford to miss tomorrow’s talks. You—all of you—are needed to propa- gate the gospel of citizen-training, and every mind and heart surcharged with it goes out to infuse the spifit into others. Added to the original programme will be a ten-minute talk upon “What Club- women Can Do to Prevent the Spread of Tuberculosis,” by Dr- F. N. Tottinger of Los Angeles, a noted specialist in town to attend the California State Medical Soefety’s convention. % s Bring a mental notebook with you. Everywhere in the State women are preparing for the biennial convention to convene in St. Paul in"May. From the looks of things,* California will be ‘amply ‘represented and’ by her very handsomest clubwomen—led by their very attractive State president, Mrs. Rob- ert Potter Hill. Apropos .of details »of the convention Mrs, Hill has forwarded the following data for the guidance of the lambs of the fold, that they and their baggage be not lost, strayed or stolen, or even sep- arated: In order to secure admission to the conven- tion hall of the eighth biennial of G.

J, April 15.—Justice of the Peace Theodore Blauvelt held a mid- night session of court last night under unusual circumstances. The court was convened in the garret of a building Known as “The Old Stone House,” near the city line. The seat of the Justice was at a table alongside an improvised pit in which gamecocks had recenly contested desperate battles. - “The Old Stone House” has been known for many years as a resort for “sports,” but its fame has been so long on the wane that the managers of a main decided to take the chance of using the old house for their purpose. So the tip went out which brought a large number of “‘sports” to the place last night. Another tip had found its way to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Anfmals, and its officers repaired to the scene with Justice Blauvelt, who, to be prepared for any emergency, took along some statutes and blank forms. Several battles had been completed when Constable Teed and five other officers entered the barroom of “The Old Stone House.” They started a search, which ended at the garret Iin which the cockfighters were neatly trap- /ped. They yielded gracefully, and Justice Blauvelt assured them that he had no de- sire to keep them from their homes or to commit them to jail. Henry Morris, proprietor of the place, pleaded guilty to the charge of permit- ting cockfighting, and paid a fine of $100. Then seventeen other men paid each a fine of $100 for aiding and abetting the main and the court adjourned. L ————————— HOMESICK SAN FRANCISCO WOMAN ENDS HER LIFE .

But there's an old in- debtedness hanging over the club like a Kansas cyclone cloud and the members have decided to wipe it out. They purpose to give an entertainment on April 20 at Steinway Hall: the council of women to direct it generally, and Mrs. Horace Coffin specifically—which augers well for the success of the affair. « s Mrs. Edward Xavier Rolker gave an interesting talk on the “Passion Play,” as given at Oberammergau, on Tues- day afternoon before the California Club. The lecture was illustrated co- plously with rare stereopticon views.

When they got through fifing their revolvers at the ceil- ing there was only one man outside of the trio of robbers left in the place. That was manager Wacker, who was locking up the big safe.
