The ANNIVERSARY OF THE Or
DER'S FOUNDATION DULY
CELEBRATED
WITH MUSIC AND DANCING.
THE GRAND ORATORS REMARKS
REGARDING THE JEW IN ENG
LISH LITERATURE.

The B'nai Birth Hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity last evening. 1t was the
hfty-second anniversary of the foundation
OF the Independent Order of B'nai Birth,
and the vast assemblage was gathered to-
gether to celebrate the day. The festival
was held under the auspices of the asso-
ciated lodges of San Francisco.
The hall was tastefully decorated. Bunt-
Ing adorned the stage, at the top of which
was placed in gold letters the words
81. o. B, B. 1S43-1S95." From the cell
ing to the gallery streamers and patriotic
flags were well displayed.
AT quite an early hour every seat, both
in the auditorium and gallery, was occu-
pied. Standing room at an early stage of
the proceedings was unobtainable.
Attorney Edmond Tauszky acted as
chairman OF the proceedings. He
presented A. Jonas, grand president of the
order. Mr.. Jonas spoke regarding the
original organization of B mai Birth fifty
two years ago. He said that the idea of
holding the present celebration grew out
of a meeting of the Constitutional Grand
Lodge held in Cincinnati The executive
committee at that time sent directions to
the different districts of the order to fit
t1ngly mark the anniversary, which was
thus being done.
After well-rendered vocal selection by
Miss r. Levi son, who was accompanied by
Miss Evelyn Lewis on, Attorney Lucius L.
Solomons, grand orator of the order, took
the rostrum. He alluded to the Door
Hebrew emigrants exiled from European
ghettos by the bigotry of foreign poten-
tates, and rked on the peculiar an
tipathy which seems to exist to this day IN
America against this class of Jews. He
said that the object of the Independent
Order of B mai B 'rith was to further the
union of all Israelites and the federation of
all mankind.
mir. Solomons was generously applauded
when he gave passing review of the Jew
in English literature. He claimed that
characters of which Fagin, Shylock and
Svengali were representative did not and
Hebrew. ''The enlightened Jew" said
Mr.. Solomons, "despises these creations of
the novelist's brain, and it is time the
world knew it,
The speaker remarked that objection
had been made to sectarian institutions
such as the B'nai Birth is. While these
objections undoubtedly sprang from altru-
the realization of high ideals. sit is neces-
sary to be narrow" said the speaker,
THAT we may gain breadth"
Miss Tessie Harris, accompanied by her
sister, sang go Forth and Find" and as
an encore, 81 Love You Best of ALL
A violin solo by B. Jaulus, and humor-
Gus business by Messrs. Gilbert and Goldie,
brought the first part of the programme to
a close. The floor was then cleared, and
dancing was indulged in to the music of
Rosmer's Hungarian Orchestra. Supper
followed, and it was late hour before the
guests finally dispersed.
Many prominent Israelites of this City
and the surrounding country were present
at the entertainment. The committee on
arrangements was made up of members of
the various lodges.

A NEW WEATHER CLERK.
A. McAdie Comes From Washington
to Work With FOrecaster W. III.
HammOn.

Alexander McAdie, the meteorologist
who is to be associated with w. III. Ham
mon at the Weather Bureau in this City,
arrived from Washington, D. g., Tuesday
night.
This is the first time in the history of
the bureau that there have been two skilled
forecast officials at one station.
One of the reasons of the departure is
that the bureau in Washington is taking
a special interest in the meteorological
pee uliarities of this coast, and purposes
making the study as thorough as possible.
Another reason. explained by Mr.. Ham
mon yesterday, is that the inspecting of
the work of the various stations in this dis
trict was recently made one Of the duties
of the main Office in this City. Before the
work was done by special inspector.
Either Mr.. Harmon or Mr.. McAdie will
be away on that duty most of the time,
leaving the other to attend to the daily
work at this station.
Mr.. McAdie has fine record. He is
one of the best men in the service, and as
a scientist he has a reputation to be proud
of. He is a graduate of the College OF the
City Of New. York and master OF arts
from Harvard He won a new distinction
this year by being the only American to
secure medal in the hodgkins prize con-
test.
Mr.. McAdie is also an expert on light
ming. He is the author of pamphlet on
Protection From lightning" published
by the bureau that has had the most phe-
nomenal demand of any pamphlet ever is
sued by the department Tor years. Though
only 80 years of age, he is quite an extern
sive writer and an original investigator.
Before coming here he was one of the fore
cast board in Washington.
1--WE are confined too much to earth
here" said the new official. "The ordi-
nary and routine work is carried on in the
lowest stratum of air. We want to get up.
The meteorological conditions 1000, 5000
and 5000 feet above us have more to do
with the atmospheric conditions than
have the lower currents from which the
daily observations are made.
'In our experiments here we will use
what is called the balloon-kite. 1t must
be obvious what an important point is
gained by being able to keep our instru-
ments in the air at an elevation of from
1000 to 5000 feet for hours at time. It
means a gain of a large percentage over
the present accuracy and efficiency of our
observations and forecasts"

straight.

forming the boys?" asked Judge Hayne,
upon cross examination.

"And particularly OF James?"

"What was the matter with him?'
"Well, he had drinking spells OCCASION

had been pretty straight
Mr. Taber also told about how kindly
Mrs. Garcelon used to speak of the boys,
her nephews. She told him him that Fred
used to sleep with her when he was babe
of or 3 wears. She spoke very affection
ately of him and said that the trouble he
had in DR.. Merritt's office was probably
caused by the influence of Henry Rodgers,
who feared that Fred would succeed him
in the business. Mrs. Garcelon also told
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-18

Miss Mcclellan not to worry, that she
would provide for her.
After the doctors death the bows roomed
across the street from the Merritt resi-
dence on Jackson street. They lived with
Mrs. P. B. Shattuck, quite refined and
intelligent elderly lady, with a mass of
pretty. snowy hair and most amiable
countenance. She was also a tenant of the
Merritt estate and an intimate of Mrs.
Garcelon.
On the witness stand she told yesterday
of how some of the Oakland shopkeepers
used to overcharge Mrs. Garcelon. She
used to go riding frequently with Mrs.
Garcelon, and they would often stop and
make purchases. Several times Mrs. Gar
celon drove back and wanted to pay the
same bill a second time. Once she bought
jardiniere for SIS that Mrs. Shattuck had
seen in the stores for $5.
1t was Mrs. Garcelon who secured the
room for the boys at Mrs. Shattuck' s
house. She said she wanted them 10 have
a room so situated that she could see their
light. She furnished the room for the
boys and came to see them and often asked
about them.
Stephen Purrington's conduct toward
Mrs. Garcelon, the witness said, was any
thing but friendly, and Mrs. Garcelon was
afraid of him. Once Judge Stanly came
to the house with paper and demanded
that Mrs. Garcelon should sign it. She re-
fused, but the Judge said she must sign it,
and the two went away to the library
where the document, whatever it was, re-
! ceived her signature.
Stephen burlington said to the witness

the request of the college for a small dona-
ton it was surely not their intention to
bequeath it a vastly larger sum.
Later on in Mr.. Taber's testimony 1t be-
came apparent that DR.. Merritt was, In his
life time, an appreciative man In the mat
ter of cocktails and also that Mr.. Taber has
other accomplishments than that OF
face divine.
They were all on the yacht Casco, an
chored in Sausalito Bay, whittier the doctor
and his sister had gone because both OF
them were i'll. Mr.. Taber was tenant OF
the doctor and a close friend of the family.
He always accompanied the doctor on his
yachting trips-often neglectlng MS pusl,
ness to do so-because the doctor wanted
his society On this occasion he went over
and found both the doctor and his sister In

chester Discharged From Custody.

Captain Johnson of the seized schooner
Winchester, charged with illegal seal
fishing, was discharged from custody by
United States Commissioner Heacock
yesterday on the failure of the prosecution
to prove that he was in prescribed waters.
Captain Noyes of the steamer Bowhead
was up for examination on charge of
having killed seals without the special per-
nit required by the law, but it was shown
that at the time he sailed from this port on
December I, 1894, the regulations had not
been made public and that they were not
signed by the President uutil January Is,
1895. The case was continued until Satur-
day, to allow more evidence to be brought
in by the Government.

his speech and that upon one occasion at
least he was profane in the presence of a
lady. For Mrs. Garcelon was there at the
time. The doctor had just received a let
ter from the trustees of Bowdoin College
asking him for a donation of the amount
named. Mrs. Garcelon overlooked the in
delicate remark of her brother and said:
"Why should Bowdoin College ask him
for money? He is under no obligations TO
them
well, they'll never get cent of my
money" said the doctor.
And Arthur Rogers and Mr.. Philbrook
and Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Moore and all the
other learned counsel employed by the
Merritt nephews TO defend the suit of
Bowdoin College to quiet title to the $780,
coo bequest named for it in the Garcelon
testament, will be SIRE to argue that # DR..

business habits. He loaned Mr.. Taber
$4,000 and charged him per cent month
interest on it. There were two notes, and
when the doctor died Mrs. Garcelon told
Taber that she would return him these
notes-only part of which was paid. The
notes were in Stephen Purrington's posses
sion for a long while, and Mrs. Garcelon
could not get them at first. But one night
as Taber was going home she slipped some
papers in his hand. When he got home
he found they were his notes.
Mrs. Garcelon seemed to be in mortal
terror of burlington. II he entered when
they were talking of the boys, Jim and
Fred, she would put her finger to her lips
whistler "Sh!" and hurriedly change the
conversation.
And Stephen burlington did not like the
boys. He told Taber they had too much
money as it was, and that they would never
reform. They ought to have no meney at

"Why in - should I give Bowdoin

upon time of his friend Taber, the
photographer.
And from this remark of the man who
gave his name 10 Oakland's tide-water
pond-as related by Mr.. Taber to Circuit
Judge Hawley yesterday-two things are
quite apparent, and third will be argued
by the lawyers who are trying to break the

LOOKS BEFORE MERIT.

Importance OF Care In Sorting and Mar
keting Garden Crops.
IL costs no more to raise good fruits
and vegetables than IL does poor. The
expenses of gathering, packing and
shipping and marketing are precisely
the same on the different grades. But
the returns are wonderfully different,
and we take il. the farmer Is in the
business for these very returns. Why
not then get the most out of them?
The only thing which makes the differ
ence between the good and the poor Is
care, but this selfsame care must be
scrupulously exercised from beginning
20 end. From the proper preparation
of the ground for the plants right
through to the shipping Of the crop,
every detail must be attended TO; the
neglect of single one may render all
the others futile. 1t will not pay TO
cxpcnd all the energy on raising good
crops only TO gather and ship them In
a slipshod fashion. OF the two evils
Il Is better to err In the other direc-
tions, for careful sorting and neat
packing will do much towards selling
an Indifferent article, all things being
Judged first by their appearances and
then by their taste. Looks come before
merit in all cases.
When these are combined, as they
always should be. then the big profits
come In, for fancy articles bring fancy
prices. Too many farmers fail TO real
izc this. They save their labor by fail
ing TO assert their crops according &c
size and quality, or economic In the
wrong direction, as when they use al
old soiled package, thereby disgusting
a would-be purchaser and rendering
him suspicious OF the fruit which
clean new package would have set of
and rendered tempting and attractive
All such saving. whether of labor o
money, is false economy, and result
in loss TO the seller. IN. Y. World.

Result Of Valuable Experiments - ~
Massachusetts, station
The American Doiryman summarizes
experiments of the Massachusetts sta
ton in regard TO dairy rations. IL
says that the ration fed by many Mass
achusetts farmers as given by the re-
port consists of so pounds Of wlieas
bran. the same quantity OF corn meal.
four pounds corn slower and AZ 30
pounds corn ensilage. The nutrltive
ratio of such ration Is ITO and its
cost 14.0o cents. while 5.sf cents is ac-
corded 70 IL as its material value, MAX.
imp the net cost lis cents. The total
milk yield of six cows for IA days on
this ration was 1861 quarts, at to-
tai cost Of l.60 cents per quart, while
the net cost per quart was LOO cents.
The amount OF butter fat in this guam
tity OF milk was 6z3l pounds and its
cost per pound was 1857 cents The
ration recommended by the station TO
take The place of the one just noted
which IL may be stated contains only
100 pounds OF digestible protein, con-
sists of three pounds of wheat bran,
three pounds Of Buffalo gluten feed,
three pounds cottonseed meal, four
pounds corn stover and 4e.7S pounds
cnsilage. This ration contains 200
pounds OF digestiblc protein, and its
Il nutritivo ratio is Las. Its total cost Is
1895 cents, which Is reduced to
l7.46 cents as tho net cost, be-
cause IL gives richer manure, and
this is credited at $40 cents. In the
returns of six cows fed this ration for
IA days, they are credited with $3.50
quarts OF milk at gross cost OF LOO
cents per quart, and the net cost OFT

ter fat obtained from the milk la this
instance was SO. II pounds at a cost OF

ture that the result OF the second ra-

part OF IL was not diverted to repair

M. Anne Girard. OF Faisanderie,
France, has communicated another
memoir to the Acadmie DIES Sciences.

toes az forage for cattle. from which
II appears that the tubers are first
rate food, whether from thu point OF
view OF fattening or the yield of milk
and butter. Sheep and oxen throyo
much better on potatoes and hay than
on their ordinary food, and their flesh
was found to be superior In quality.
His paper Is worthy the attention OF
