IN centuries past the human hair
played an important part h Al judicial
proceedings Those that were permitted
10 wear beard and hair had rights that
conld not BE- claimed By tho sborn and
shaved. When men made oath. they
touched their beard and hair. and wcns
n placed the finger tips o. the tight
baud on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut. and-if a freedman wcnt into
slavery he bad to divcst himself II his
hirsulo ado1nmonts. An adult nlonfed
By foster parents was Obliged e. e-,
his beard shaved and the shaving q.
beard and hair was q punishment in
dicted on criminals. The i~uriaprudenco
Of our ancesiora dealt with punishment
"by akin and hair" for small oRensog
and 'by neck and hand for greater
crimes.
There has always been more OF less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied BY II. and wizards and
witches know Of ~concoctioug Of hair BY
which they poisoned enemies. CntB' hair
wa especially named IN tho category Of
poisonous hairs, and even nt the begin
ming Of the seventeenth century Paulua
Zacchias, q famous physician, writes Of
the virulent poison Of the hair Of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti-
tious beliefs have gone out Of existence,
and only Malays give their enemies

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 27.-Colonel
John P. Irish will leave in day or two to

sons birthday in Chicago, January s.
William ]. Bryan OF Nebraska is to make
a great speech, which it is but reasonable
to suppose Will not be giorihcation of
Jackson SO much as justification OF
Bryan.
The Illinois State Committee of the
Palmer wing of the party is getting up

that it shall surpass the Bryan boom in
real Importance if not IN numbers or

As one step toward this en- the Him OILS
committee has invited Colonel John P
Irish to come TO Chicago and be one of the
orators on the 8th of January, as the au-
thor of the big speech in the indianapolis
convention, and as the man who chased
Bryan around his circuit on a special

wilderness OF trees and underground, save
here and there an open glade of few
acres in extent. The whole of the territory
EN- braced within the present city limits
could not boast of more than half dozen
dwellings, scattered along the edge of the
bay from the creek TO the point.
On the Oath of December, 1849. the
echoes of those silent.woods were awak-
ened by the sharp report OF firearms, the
greensward of one of those openings was
stained with human blood and the lives
of two intelligent beings were ended. On
a spot where Twelfth street bridge spans
the estuary a tragedy was enacted that
beautiful winter morning that never be-
came known beyond the few intimate
friends of the actors, but which carried
mourning and Iamentation into two
happy Southern homes on the banks of
far-off Southern river Companions in
boyhood, college chums in youth and de-
voted friends in early manhood, these two
men met that holy Christmas Eve with
dire hate in their hearts. determined to
take each others life. 1t was the old
story of rivalry for the hand OF beautiful
maiden, which had grown into jealousy,
passion and a desire for revenge. The
love of excitement and wild adventure
had brought them to California, one by
way of the isthmus and the other over
land, anG meeting in San Francisco a
trivial occurrence kinded the smoldering
embers into a flame that nothing but
blood could quench.
With few selected friends they both
crossed the bay in small boat, and. row.
ing up Oakland Creek until favora bic
spot was reached, they disem barked.
Their positions were taken at ten PAGES,
the word given and each lay PROSTATE on
the ground, one shot through the heart,
the other with bullet in his brain. ST.
lently their earthly remains were lifted
into the boat and were conveyed to San
Francisco, where they were buried. This
was the first of the many duels fought in
this county.
Such, according to Historian Wood, was
the state of affairs in this city in the great
pioneer year.
For the other part of the contract, the
recent home-industry exposition is ad-

Church airs and Bazaars.
OAKLAND. CAL, Dec. q - The action
of the Twenty-third Avenue Baptist
Church in regard TO church fairs will
probably be followed by other congrega-
tions. Rev. Robert Whitaker who started
the crusade against pay entertainments
in the church magazine of which he is a
joint editor. is very gratified to find that
his congregation indorses his views.
When the matter was put to vote in
his church it was unanim ously resolved
to discontinue all manner of entertain
ments where charge is made. Rev. r.
Whitaker says that church fairs are a
method of bulldozing people into giving
who would contribute just as much, and
probably more, without any such subter-
fuge.
The idea has gone forth that the action
of he Twenty-third avenue Baptist Church
has entirely done ava. with ali manner of
social entertanment AZ the church. This
is not so and the members desire it to be
understood that they are to have more
real sociabilitY and fellowship than ever
before. The social affairs of the church
will be placed in the hands of a committee
of cooperation, consisting of the officers,
| with the president and secretary OF each
auxiliary society.

yet, that was only acting upon the in
vitation extended in the text for this dis
course, Come now, let us reason together,
saith the Lord This is what every ra-
tional man in the universe ought to do." !"
The Rev, Mr.. PAYNE then proceeded TO
review the results of his meditations.
He said: ssThere was first the negative
result that 1 saw, that the universe is
after all not exactlv as simple as some of
our theology, philosophy and science
would declare. / saw that no one can
make it disgorge all the riches of its truth.
Theology has not done this; science and
philosophy do not claim to have done it.
.'Second, reached the conviction that
the things that are really the most i'm
portant are simplicity itself-the fact of
the presence of light in the universe, the
fact that to know and be truth is the BEST
that love and good will are better than envy
and hatred, that there is attainable by
man a loftiness of character winch, in
spite of intellectual doubts. points to the
validity of eternal truth and the triumph
of right. The crucial thing after all is
this doctrine of personal truth and real
ness-not mere truth-telling, but truth
being. II we hold to this the universe
will take care of itself and it will take care
of u.s."
Altruria was briefly referred to by the
Rev. Mr.. Payne. 'The experiment may
have been mistake" said he. ut has
shown that we cannot achieve by part;
that our only hope of reaching the social
height to which we aspire is by doing it
all together building, If more slowly
more surely. upon the eternal common
wealth of all souls"

GOSPEL BY TBLEPHONE.
Novel Experiment of Pastor-Spoke
to Two Audiences.


BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 27.-Rev. DR..
Ketchum of the First Presbyterian Church
preached sermon this morning to two
audiences at the same time-one within
his immediate view and the other half
mile off.
The first audience nnm 5ered about
500 people, while in the second there were
but two. One could see every gesture of
the pastor and catch his words first hand,
while the other heard only the intona-
tions OF his voice after they had been SUBJ
jected to process of complicated mechan-
ism. A telephone, with receiver about
the size of half dozen ordinary fish,
horns, had been attached to the pulpit,
and into this the winged words of the
pastor were poured.
Two invalids, the Misses Patch of Shat
tuck avenue, one of whom was bedridden,
were at the ether end of the telephone,
and with receivers TO their ears listened to
the entire service.
w. c. Gum, a student at the Los Gatos
Theological Seminary, followed out the
plan now quite common in the East and
constructed the church telephone for his
friends. So successful was the expert
ment that the invalds will probably keep
up the practice.
