Ball Eield Notes.

Rain ruined the baseball prospects yes
terday here and at San Jose. The Haight-
street diamond was too wet for the
Frisco to play its benefit game, and the
Portlands did not go to the Garden City, as
late advices showed that slight precipita-
ton had occurred there. The coming week
will be full of baseball.
The Coast championship schedule In
cludes six more games, which will all be
played this week if the weather permits.
Out Of the thirteen played Portland has
taken seven and San Jose six. To capture
the pennant the Oregon men must win three
out OF six and San Jose four. if they expect to
cover themselves with glory second time
1t viii doubtless be a close finish, and it
may be that the last game will have to de-
eide the question of supremacy.
Jiggs Parrott's brother Tom has gone
home to Portland. At least he has started
on steamer that is slow but sure. Last
winter the steamer that Tom is now
sailing on started from Portland 10 San
Francisco. Six weeks later she came DRIFT
ing into Seattle stern foremost. having lost
her rudder at sea. But Tom is out for eX-
perience, and doubtless took this method of
acquiring it They say that Jigss will go
home by the same boat If she gets back in
time.
While the Sacramento club was playing at
Los Angeles few weeks ago, Tom wrote
Jlggs letter. in which he reco&nted a few
adventures. He told a thrilling story OF
how he got swludled out of his last So piece
Borrowed of Jiggs) by bunco-s teerer.
''But that's nothing" wrote Tom, in con-
cusion, for look at the experience I'm get
ting"
During this same trip heavy baseball
deal was cGusummated. McCloskey sold
Bill Has,amer to the Los Angeles team for
81 aud threw Bill Goodenough in for extra
measure. Some little trouble was Occa-
stoned by the chattels demanding their
share of the purchase money. but McClos-
key refused TO whack up. The transfer
or sale was only for the winter series in the
southern city.
Pitcher Frank Hoffman of the San Jose
team has returned from Butte, Mont, where
he was called by the sickness OF his mother,
and will pitch his share OF the games this
week.
1t is stated that Dan Sweeney and Kid
Speer have applied for winter jobs with the
Western Union Telegraph Company as mes
senger boys, after obtaining The consent Of

The Christmas praise service last evening

The Christmas praise service last evening
at the First Presbyterian Church, corner of
Van Ness avenue and Sacramento street,
DR.. Mackenzie pastor, was largely attended.
1t consisted of a musical programme of I'M
usual merit and an address by the pastor on
the Origin of Christmas"
The choir-Otto Fleissner, organist and
director; Miss Florence Jacquay, soprano ;
Miss Lille Boole. contral,o; r. A. Wood,
tenor; j. {. Hughes, bass-after an Orches-
trail prelude and the rendering of the LOrd's
prayer by tie pastor and congregation, sang
the anthem, "There Were Shepherds" by
Holden. and then came responsive reading
by the chorus and orchestra. After a prayer
and the grcgational hymn, "Hark. the
Herald Angels Sing" j. c. Hughes sang a
solo entitled, THE Savior Lay at Bethle-
hem" This was followed by the anti
phOnal service or responsive reading by the
chorus choir and pastor.

There is no particular reason for observ-

Is popularity supposed to be the birthday of
our Savior. but history does not inform us
of the date OF his birth. Three thousand
years ago Christmas was day Of festvity
Later our Saxon fathers observed it by feast
ing and exchanging gifts. Long, long be-
fore the birth of Christ the Romans Oh this
day held high carnival, and brought pres

principal deity. Saturn, the father of Ju-
piter.
The early Christian fathers in striving to
ABOLISH all napan ODSpryanpeS and convert
the heathens to the doctrines Of Christ
wrested this day from mythology and gave
1t sacred character as the birthday Of
Christ. Previous to the year $50 the 9th of
January was observed as Christmas, but in
that year it was changed to December 25th.
The exercises closed with the singing Of
" Nazareth " by the choir and prayer by
the pastor.

The incidents related below were given
the writer with full permission to make the
present use of them, only Withholding per-
sonal names, by the last and only direct
descendent Of her people left in her native
town. Although having nearly reached the
allotted three score and ten years this one
of the last Of noble line proves herself as
such in the erectness and grace with which
she carries these years, as she does, with the
charm which they bring along with them to
those who accept and treat them kindly.
Truly. if it were not for living in this
present time it would make one wish to
have belonged TO the past age, to become so
beautiful and sweet and noble.
Alas, If that were only what would make
one all that.
And yet have not surrounding and asso-
citation much to do with it?
The parents of this lady died very young,
leaving their family of five little ones. of
which she was the youngest, to be cared for
by great-grandmother.
Though so advance. in life she valently
espoused the cause of the children, and sue
cessfully settled. in their favor, the cOnten-
ton caused by the old homestead and large

very, very poor. For days there had been
nothing in the house to eat but food ana
for the first time the dread truth was made

As the full import of this fearful admis-

misery, but listen. child. Your unfortunate
