He Will Appear in an
Oakland Temple of
Worship.
Quite Likely to Ride Up the
Main Aisle on His Trusty
Wheel.
The First Christian Church to See a
Police Court Jurist in His
Boomers.

The members of the First Christian
Church of Oakland, over which Rev. Ed
wards Davis presides, will be treated to a
new version of Santa Claus this evening,
and it is safe to say that the occasion will
be one long to be remembered in the Ath-
ems of the Pacific.
The Rev. NJ. Davis is given to spring
ing innovations on his congregation. 1t
is but & short time ago that he announced
himself in favor of dancing as a harmless
form of amusement, shocking his more
conservative brethren of the cloth. Then,
before they had regained their breaths, he
was heard to saw in the presence of a
large and select audience that poker, if
not played for STAKES, was not as democrat
izing as many clergy had been pleased
to term it, and that if occasion arose he
might take a hand himself.
Now the Rev. Mr. Davis has prepared a
new surprise for his flock, and Judge
Campbell, the bewhiskered Police Court

ments for the accommodation of fifty
girls.
81 shall try to conduct this rescue
home" said he last night, "aIong lines
that will make it almost self-supporting.
1 have been in this work many years and
have profited by my experience and by the
errors of others"
One of the first innovations contem-
plated is the plan of enabling the girls TO
do work at the home to make their own
liyeihoods. There will be no charge 10
them and no debt 10 follow them, as in
many ike institutions.
Major Robinson says the great trouble
with many such enterprises has been that
the leaders of the movements have kept
so close an espionage on the girls after
their reformation as to attract comment.
Nothing can do a girl more harm. said
the leader of the new home, than to fol-
low her and betray to her employers the
facts Of her history. | propose that no
one outside shall know that my girls have
ever fallen. They will leave me owing no
debt, and if necessary for their success
they may go forth under assumed names to
enable them TO lead pure lives without
annoyance"
Major Robinson has just issued the fol-
lowing circular letter to those interested
In rescue work:
We have leased a nice building at 94s Ms
sion street, where we are going TO open
Rescue Home for poor girls of this City and
surrounding cities. We ask you to kindly lay
this matter before the public. We have been
In The work for years. The plan is incorpo-
rated, ana il is we'll known in Oakland and in
San Jose, and in this City as well. Our place,
when fitted up, will accommodate fifty girls.
Ny wife, myself and others will devote our
time in caring for these dear ones. 1t will be
self-supporiing in measure, as we shall find
II g. o-I- IL
situations will be obtained for them. Many
think these girls are able to do anything, but
it is all mistake. Many of them know how TO
do nothing.
Many OF them have an education, but moth
ing TO go with it. What can you expect of these
poor souls that come to our cities expecting to
find work as salesladtes, typewriters Dress
makers and anything but real labor? Yet
they should be cared for, and If one should fall
many would do ii given the opportunity. We
need $500 in cash, fifty single beds, bedding,
furniture, range, kitchen utensils, bathtubs,
dining-tsbles and fixtures, in fact everything
to make it look like home. We want to open
the home the 18th of January. We have a nice
hall where me etings are being held every
night. Any article addressed to me will find me
at 94S Mission street. Trusting you will re-
spond to this call remain your brother in
Christ, MAJOR FRANK ROBINSON.
Christs Rescue Home, 948 Mission street
1t is the belief of the leaders of the new
movement for home that inside of year
tEey will be compelled to enlarge their
quarters or open branch homes. They have
been encouraged by ministers and philan-
thropists throughout the City.

The Petition to the Supervisors
for a Light Franchise
Withdrawn.
Members of the Polk.Street "Beauti.
flying Committee" and Their
Territory.

at a meeting of the Polk-street Improve
ment Club held at 1905 Polk street last
evening it was decided to bold fiesta
December 80 and 81. The festivities will
take place during daylight in the form OF
parades and at night the street will be
grand blaze OF light. Bonfires and fire
works will add their fame to the glow OF
thousands of electric lamps. The decora-
tons in colored bunting will be gorgeous.
A warm discussion came up during the
meeting over the question OF the new
street lights. President Kohn vacated the
chair and moved that the petition now be-
fore the Board of Supervisors requesting
a franchise to erect electric-lamp poles
along Polk street be Withdrawn.
He stated that he was sure the petition
would not be granted. as an ordinance had
been passed that all light wires in the fu-
ture should be placed underground. Fur
thermore, he stated that Notwithstanding
they were under contract to take light
from the Edison Company for So lamp
per month, they could transfer the con-
tract TO the Merchants Association. By
so doing they could get the same service
for 81 %, as the association had a con tract
with the Edison Company, and the club
would save $50 per month. He had been
assured that this could be done without
friction.
NJ. Levin, chairman of the light COM
mttee, objected to the motion. He said
the petition would be granted next Thurs
day by the board, and when the poles
were up and wired the Mutual Electric
Light would furnish them service at
81 rs light month.
Let us in some way get the opposition
company here" said he. sit knocked
down the Edison wire and it will do so
again."
A number of other speakers followed
the lead of Chairman Kohrn and spoke in
favor of transferring the contract to the
Merchants Association at 81 25s At vote
the notion was carried unanimously and
the committee was discharged.
The following were appointed as beau
tifying com mittee to supervise the keep
ing of Polk street clean:
Frank d. Wood, from Suffer to Bush; ].
G. Van Bibber, Bush TO Pine; Fred Cur
It's, Pine TO California; NJ. McAvoy, Cali
fornia to Sacramento; C. E. Anderson,
Sacramento to Clay; w. Schultise, Clay
to Washington; G. B. Barron, Washing
ton to Jackson: d. Mahony, Jackson to
Pacific; s. Russell, Pacific to Broadway;
Martin Henk, Broadway to Vallejo.
The next meeting of the club will be the
second Tuesday in January.

AN ATTEMPT TO K|DNAP,
Picked Up From the Doorsteps
of His Grandmother's
Residence.
Content ton Between Father and Mother
Over the Custody of Charles
Henry Sykes Jr.

An unusual scene was witnessed by the
people that happened along O'Farrell
street yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock.
A distracted mother had stolen her
child from its grandmother and was hur-
rying along almost faint from its weight,
pleading with the curious crowd that fol-
lowed to protect her.
The woman was Mrs. Jane A. Sykes, q
teacher in the James Lick School, and the
child was her son, little lad of years,
who has been partially paralyzed since he
was a wear old.
There has been domestic discord in the
Sykes family for months past which
eliminated some time ago when divorce
complaint was filed by Jane A. Sykes
against Charles Il. Sykes on the grounds
of extreme cruelty and failure to provide.
Mr.. Sykes then left the family domicile
and took up his residence with his aged
mother, at 122 O'Farrell street.
Since the latter part of Novem Der the
boy has been living with his father and
grandmother, the father claiming the
temporary custody until the case has been
decided by Judge Hunt.
Yesterday Afternoon while Mrs. Sykes
was walking along O'Farrell street she
espied her little son sitting on the door
steps of his grandmother's residence.
She had made previous unsuccessful at
tempt to kidnap him, but her plans had
Deen frustrated by the appearance of Mr..
Sykes and his lawyer. This time Mr..
Sykes was not there and only the aged
grandmother watched over him.
Mrs. Sykes Immediately picked up the
child and rushed off with him, the grand
mother following after and crowd of sew
eral hundred excited citizens trailing in
the rear, and at the corner of Ellis and
Mason streets policeman hove in sight
and was called upon to settle who had q
RICH to the child.
He decided in favor of the grandmother,
who VIGOROUSLY started home again, the
child being zealousIy guarded by the
officer.
The mother quietly gave up the battle
when she saw how nervous and brighten ed
the child had become, and will now await
the decision of Judge Hunt as to who is
the proper custodian. The sy mpathies oil
the crowd were with Mrs. Sykes, and, had
it not been for the sudden interference OF
the officer, Market-street car would have
been boarded, and the boy would have
spent tho night surrounded by his
brothers and sister at the home of his
mother, IL Devon street.

FIGHT WITH A BEAR.
Fritz Bergin, Butcher. Has an Excit-

killing the Beast.

Fritz Bergfn, Butcher. mas an E1ciI-
ing Experience, but Succeeds in
killing the Beast.
Fritz Bergin is employed by Mark
strouse. propr etor of the Bay City Pack
ing house. San Bruno and CORTLAND
avenues. and butcher on Market street.
Last night he was sent to the packing
house with another man to kill three large
bears for the Christmas market. Bergln
is an expert at Strengthening cattle, but he
is a novice at the bear business.
Bergin armed himself with a long
knife and a Ratchet, and the other man
prepared to Iasso the largest of the three
bears as soon as IL was let Ioose All Ine
Strengthening pen.
The hear Dranced around the pen, and
in minute the rope was thrown round
his neck and he was brought sharply up on
his launches.
The bear growled fiercely and struggled
to get free while Bergin boldly advanced
to stun him by a blow with the hatchet.
The blow was well aimed, but the pear
lodged it and, with a fierce growl, strug-
gled to get at Bergln, VINO peat mo-
mentary retreat.
As Bergin again advanced with the
Ratchet the bear made a desperate lunge
at him and succeeded in catching d is lett
arm between hts teeth. Bergln yelled to
the other man to pull on the rope with all
his might. The man did so, while the
bear kept chewing at Bergin's arm. The
struggle was short. and the bear was
forced to relinquish his hold OF the arm.
Bergin, driven frantic with the pain in
his lacerated arm, rushed at the bear and
drove the Ratchet into his skull, killing
him instantly.
1t was decided TO wait till tonight be-
fore attempting to kill The other two
bears. and Bergin was driven to his home
and physician was summoned to attend
to his wounded arm.
