duced by a III. Fish, Chairman of the So

ton. MIR. Sanderson spoke very briefly.
aud then in eulogistlc terms introduced
Irving NJ. Scott, who delivered an address
ON Opportunities for Young Men in This
State"
During his remarks Mr.. Scott said {:
There is no place in the world that offers
such opportunities for young men as this
State or the Pacific Coast. England and
Wales have an area of 5S, 1856 square miles
and population of 25, 974, 439, or 446 people
to The square mile; Belgium has an are. of
1l,3I3 square miles and a population of
$3.50, TT, or 58S to the square mile, while
California, with an area of 157, sol
square miles, has a population of only
1,2Oj,3S1, or about eight people TO the square
mile, and yet some people say we are
crowded. After quoting number Of sta
tistics relative 20 the land under guilty alton
and the products Of the soil, he mentioned,
as peculiar fact, that the exports of -four
from this State last year amounted 10 1.20l,-
304 barrels. The population of the State is
1,2O5,39l, so that there was about barrel of
flour for every man, woman and child
within the borders of the State exported,
besides what was used for home conSump-
tiou. And yet" he added, people go to
the Mayor and say they are starving"
At the conclusion of Mt SCOTS address,
a musical and literary entertainment was
given, which was participated in by Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Schultz. Miss G.. De-
lano and DR.. Thomas HILL AT The close of
the programme those present visited the
gymnasium, where sixteen young men, I'M
der the direction of the teacher, Alfred

CREMATION.
Lecture by the Pastor of the German NJ.
r. Church.

Lecture by the Pastor of the German NJ.
+. Church.
At Lyceum Hall, 232 Suffer street, the
Rev. Fritz Reiser, pastor of the German NJ.
E. Church, delivered a lecture last evening
on cremation under the auspices of the Ger
man branch Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Among the audience were
Max Pepper, President. and the Directors
of the San Francisco Cremation Society.
Carl Blk presided and introduced the lee
turer.
The reverend gentleman, who is strong
advocate of incineratIng the dead, said that
III San Francisco, surrounded as 1t on three
sides by water, the population rapidly in
creasiDg and the city spreading, there would
in the course of years be no plaza left on the
peninsula to bury the dead and cremation
would have to be resorted to. He spoke Of
advantages of cremation from different
points OF view and said that it was much
better for corpse to be reduced to ashes by
process lasting only few hours than to
be so reduced by rotting process in the
earth lasting probably 100 years.

that would have done credit to any of our
city caterers was enjoyed by all present.
After supper was over dancing was in order
until late hour. The officers of Golden
State Lodge confidently expect that the
membership of their lodge will double In
month or two as result of the proDp pit pay
ment OF the maturing coupons, and IL
seemed 10 be the general opinion OF those
preSent-both members and non-memoefs
OF the order-that there was no reason why
endowment organizations, if properly ana
honestly managed, should not be as much
success and as permanent as any OF the Sc
cTet societies that pay $1,000 or $4,000 TO the
heirs OF deceased members, the secret of the
success of all such orders being continual
increase of membership.
Last night new lodge was organized by
DR.. w. A. Newell at Berkeley, Cal, and
the supreme officers and a number OF mein-
oerS Oh city lodges went over to attend the
ceremonies. A very pleasant evening was
spent, and as there are now two lodges In
Alameda County. one being located in OAK

ere long Alameda County will have large
membership in this order.

ALEXANDRIA'S GLORY.
Rev. DR.. Mackenzie Sketches Its Bygor
Greatness.

Rev. DR.. Mackenzie Sketches Its Bygone
Greatness.
There was not vacant chair in the lee
ture-room of the First Presbyterian Church
last night when Rev. Robert Mackenzie
D. arose to deliver his lecture on "Alex-
andria and Its Effect Upon English Litera-
ture."
The lecturer, in beginning his subject.
sketched the history of Alexandria, which,
he stated had been raised up by God as one
OF bis agencies, and supplanted Rome and
Athens as the exponent OF new era. Three
hundred years before Christ it was truly a
cosmopolitan city, and here conyerged the
trade, politics, adventure and literature of
the world. Brilliant groups of distinguished
scholars gathered at this seat of learning
which was also the center of culture, fine art
and scientific discoveries. Literature be-
came purer, nobler, less sensual. The type
OF our modern novel first appeared in this
city and nas written in metricai form. The
migration Of literature from Greece to Italy
came by way of Alexandria, where books OF
travel and patriotic history first appeared,
and the Greek version of the Old Testament
was translated from the original Hebrew.
Scientists and philosophers specuated then
as now regarding the origin and destiny
of mankind. Theological controversies at
tracted much attention, while spiritualism
and hypnotiSm had many believers. The
reverend gentleman concluded by eating
the Influence exercised by Alexandria in
molding the religious belief of Christian
nations.
The lecture was one of monthly series,
and was under the auspices of the Treasure
Searchers' Chautauqua Circle of the First
Presbyterian Church.

LEVYING BLACKMAIL.
Three Highbinders Attempt to
Murder Man and Wife.

Although the police have struck the high
binders a vital blow by destroying their
meeting houses, they are as yet apparently
powerless to prevent the commission of
crimes by small gangs of the societies. Last
night three highbinders endeavored to col
lect Commission" or blacknail money from
a carpenter named All Tan, living at s17
Sacramento street, and failing in their pur-
pose brought revolvers into play.
The carpenter about a month ago was
married to an inmate of DR.. Gibson's Chi
nese Mission. and lived in peace with his
bride until the M0ngol hOodlums appeared
on the scene of his domestic felicity. They
demanded certain sum OF money, which he
refused to pay. One of the bighbinders
then seized the woman and sought to carry
her away, but she resisted and commenced
yelling Justify.
The blackmailers drew their pistols and
three shots were fired at Tan and his wife,
but they went wide of the mark. Fearing
that the pistol reports would bring the po-
lice to the scene the highbinders decamped.
When Police Sergeant Price and his squad
arrived they found huge revolver in the
carpenters clothing and he was arrested for
carrying weapon concealed.
A witness to the shooting named Lew
Hung, who carried large knife, was also
taken into custody. The police were busily
searching for the three blackmaiers last
night and arrested man named Wong San
on suspicion OF having been connected with
the affair.
After the Storming.
An extra detail of police is still on duty in
Chinatown. Although the hlghbnders are
now apparently inactive it is known that
they are wrought up to a state of excitement
over the manner in which their strongh olds
were raided, and are only awaiting a fayora-
bic opportunity for another outbreak. Ser
geant Price and posse did not find it neces-
sary to make any additional raids yesterday,
as no attempt was made to Tefurnish the
headquarters at any of the highlander
societies.
