FEAST OF THE PASSOVER
First Days Service and Celebra'
ton at the Bush.Street
Temple.
The Edifce Was Beautifully Decorated
With Flowers and Appropriate
Emblems.

The first day of the feast of the Passover
was celebrated by the Congregation Ohabal
ShaIome in the Bush-street Temple by two
services yesterday. The morning service
was most impressive, and the interior of
the edifice was beautifully decorated with
flowers and emblems symbolic OF the de-
liverance of the Israelites out of bondage
DR.. Fryer's sermon was most appropriate
to the occasion, and an unusually attract
i've musical programme was rendered.
The evening service called the Sadr
night, was an innovation in this part OF
the country, and was held IN the large
lecture-room of the temple. Tables were
spread with feast of good things and the
school children of the temple partook OF
them while listening to stories OF the Jew
ish people in Egypt. A choir composed OF
young people of the temple rendered selec-
tions from appropriate musical composl-
tons during intermissions.
When the feast was almost finished Dr.
Fryer read selections from the Scriptures,
and after each verse the children re-
sponded in concert with refrain pre-
viously committed to memory.
The arrangement of the lecture-room Tor
this service was most pleasing. The lee
ture platform was mass OF mowers anu
the walls of the room were hung with gar
lands. The two tables we're long enough
to seat about fifty children each and were
decorated with light-colored blossoms.
The ladies of the temple waited on the
children and saw that all were properly
attended to- The children were highly
delighted at the novelty of participating at
the service, and with their bright faces ano
pretty costumes formed pleasing picture.
The feast of the Passover is feast OF
gladness and pleasure, although filled with
solemnity when giving thanks to the Gre
ator for the blessings of liberty. 1t Is
these features that make the celebration so
full of interest and give it an aspect that
can be appreciated by the children.
This morning at 10 o'clock DR.. Fryer,
by special request, will preach sermonin
German An excellent musical pro-
~ gramme is prom sed that will be under
the direction of Cantor Meyerson.

JOAQUIN'S S TAGE DEBUT.
1t Was Made Just a Quarter of a
Century Ago at Dietz's
Opera.HouSe.
The Occasion Was a Benefit rendered.
to the Veteran Editor, Calvin
B. Macdonald.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 29.-Calvin B.
Macdonald has written an article in his
paper this week that tells of Joaquin Mil
Iers debut on the stage. 1t is exactly a
quarter OF q century since the hermit
poet OF Fruitvale appeared at Dietz's
Opera-house.
Oakland was then, in 1871, only large
village" says Mr.. Macdonald. ''but it con-
tanned some people OF large intellectual
stature and considerable financial conse-
quence-Durant, FELTON,, Tompkins, Ross
Browne, the lie Contes, Shattuck, Pardee,
Morse, Dr. Hamilton, Walsworth, Mrs.
NJ h Blake, and others OF much note.
Although there were only eight or ten
thousand inh abitants when, through the
personal influence OF Mrs. Blake, l was
given a plmentary benefit at Brayt ytoh
Hall, now Dietzs Opera house, there was
an audience of 100. each with half dollar
and not one deadhead. Mrs. Blake, the
manager, made all the clergymen. profess
sors aud newspaper men come down with
the dust, and / myself, the beneficiary, had
TO pay half a dollar to get in. Next day [
was rich as Jew, with nearly $500. That
incident was reported in the East, and
opened to me the most eminent situation
in the Middle West. That was what the
powerfully executive Mrs. Blake did for
me, and It was by no means the last Of her
good works.
THAT was the occasion OF Joaquin
Miller's first appearance on the stage. He
was cur star performer, and a young liter
ary lion with an unbounded popularity
whom the rich ladies used to come in their
carriages and take away to dinner and to
hear. his poems. Mr.. Miller deserved all
the friendly attentions and admiration he
obtained in the then town of Oakland and
afterward in the great worlds capital,
London. He is one of the true American
poets who, as such, viii survive. | hope
he may long continue to illuminate the
romantic eminence where be has made
his home where in due time he may be
honorably cremated and have his ashes
inurned in democratic terra Gotta and
planted in full view Of the shining gate
that opens out 10 the great South Sea-"

A Bicycle Parade.

cvcIe narate is TO he piven in this citv
early in May under the direction OF the
Alameda cyclers. Captain V. A. Dodd is
making the arrangements. Alameda has
the best streets in California for bicycling,
and it is believed that there are no better
in the world, but heretofore there has been
no public demonstration on the part of
the bicyclsts in recognition of that fact.
1t is expected that all the bicycle clubs
OF San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sac
ramento, Stockton and other cities will
send large delegations, and there are hun
dreds OF hicyclists In Alameda who will
take part in the parade.
Alameda Will this year have the finish of
the relay races. Coming into this CITY
from the San Leandro road at High street
the cyclers will go down Central avenue
and finish at point near Morton street.

MAKES a RECORD.
Edgren Succeeds in Throwing the Ham

Previous Best Effort.

OAKLAND, CAL. March 29.-Robert
Edgren, the champion hammer thrower OF
the U. C. team, has made new record for
himself and is now confident that he is
good for the world 3 re cord.
Yesterday while at practice he put the
hammer i4S feet. The distance was care
fully measured and he is much elated over
his success. In talking of the matter to-
night he said: II go East in about six
weeks, when / expect to break my own
record in the hammer throw. | get the
swing every once in while that makes
the hammer fiy.'
= Only short time ago he threw the ham
mer 147 feet, but he now declares that he
will make that small affair in the near
future. Edgren is an artist of considera bic
ability and is studying in the art school in
San Francisco.

Single Tube Tires Are Popular.

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of single-tube tires is their free
dom from leaks except as a direct re-
suit from punctu-e. The air chamber
and the outer shoe being vulcanized to-
gether in one piece makes the wearing
by friction "a feature quite common
in double-tube tires) an unknown guam
tity in single tubes. The wear, there
fore, can come only from the exterior
of the tire, presenting an unanswera-
BILE argument in favor of it's simplicity.
The present season has seen tremen-
dous increase in the use of single-tube
tires by reason of these and other most
favorable characteristics, and next year
their universal adoption seems GER

A Device That Disinfects Vessels and
Kills All Vermin.
1t is we'll known to all ship owners
that much time and money is lost when
ships are detained under the laws of
quarantine. Within the last few years,
however, many countries have made
concessions as to time, and even abol-
ished the detention if the ship has a
medical officer and an efficient disin-
fector on board. Italy has now passed
Il law making disinfectors compulsory
on board all emigrant steamers. A pat
ent has been recently granted for a
steam disinfector so constructed that
il can be placed in any convenient part
of the ship, and that the steam can be
readily conveyed by pipes from the
sboiler. Although steam is used it is
not allowed to condense upon letters,
which can therefore be disinfected by
it without injury. In the event of an
infectious case of illness occurring on a
wage the clothing and bedding of the
patient can be purified and used again
with impunity. The apparatus can also
be used for heating and drying. but one
of its most valuable applications is to
the killing of vermin. Many vessels are
infected with obnoxious insects, which
give annoyance to everyone on board.
These pests can now be effectually de-
stroyed without anyeinjury to the ar
ticle operated upon.

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS.
The Canlel-Back Hump Is Responsible for
Most of Them.

The Canlel-Back Hump Is Responsible for
Most of Them.
A man, the principal in one of the
CAicago schools, was seriously injured
the other day by colliding with a dog
while riding his bicycle. The details
are not given, but presumably it was a
case of fast riding, as almost all the ac-
cidents of this character are due to that
cause.
Is there any way of limiting these ac-
cidents? Anyone who has spent much
time watching the movement of BIZ
cyclists has no difficulty in locating the
main reason for nearly all these
troubles. 1t is admitted that the man,
or boy, on wheel is not more anxious
to collide with an obstacle of any char
acter than that obstruction, be it man
or dog, is DESTROYS of being collided
with. But the person on wheel is fire.
quently unable to see what is in front of
him, and this is due, in great measure,
to the construction of the handle-bars
by which the machine is guided. There
is kind of riding technically called
"scorching," and this can only be prac-
ticed with a machine the handle-bars
of which are bent down to such an
angle that the "scorcher," leaning upon
them, is unable to raise his head to see
where he is going or what may be in his
path.
The man or boy bent over so as to
rest on handle-bars about on level with
his knees is not in the position that
makes him a safe thing to encounter on
the street, especially if he is going at
the rate of Is or 20 miles an hour. as is
frequently the case. An upright posi-
tion on a wheel, enabling the rider to
see what is in front of him, is more es-
sential to the safety not only of the
rider himself, but of pedestrians as
we'll. than the rate of speed at which
he is moving. It is not uncommon any
day to see boys bent over so that it is
impossible for them to raise their heads
enough to see in front of them, tearing
along like mad, wholly unable to avoid
an accident or a collision. In this lies
the chief danger and to it are due most
of the disasters that come from BIZ
cycling.
1t is not of much use to pass ordi-
nances regulating the rate of speed.
says the Chicago News. if. the rider is in
such a position that he cannot see. con-
stantly, what he is to meet; but if the
depressed handle-bars could be pro-
hibited the danger of accident could be
reduced to n minimum. In racing the
depressed bars may have some advan-
tage. and it is said there can be no rae
ing without them. IF that be true, it is
a strong argument why the council
should prohibit the bent bars from be-
ing used in ordinary riding on the
streets.
Those who use the bicycle for exer-
else prefer the erect position in riding.
and if the handle-bars were used that
made any other impossible the "scorch-
er" would disappear from the streets
and the public would hear far less Of
collisions and accidents than are now
reported. There would be far less in
centive to fast riding. which is the
cause of most of the complaints that
are made against the bicycle and it's

ter, one part of mineral ma tier and only
one part in a thousand of the organic
matter. 1t furnishes no menace to
health when delivered on the surface,
but merely enriches the ground and
makes it more productive. It is not in
tended that it should be constant flow
over the same section of ground. for
in that case the soil would soon become
saturated and offensive. Two sections
of land are made available, and the
flow is daily diverted from one to the
other. ethus giving the soil a chance to
recuperate. 1t must not be thought that
this system is merely theoretical. 1t
has been in use with the most sa tisfac-
tory results. Not only is it in opera
tion on single estates, but it has been
tested by large institutions, by villages
and even by cities. One of the most not
able examples is in the case of the town
of Mayne. Pa. where it has been found
10 work admirably.
There are certain notifications Of
the system that make it more widely
applicable. 1t may be that in coun-
try estate there is no available section
of land that can be used for sewage
drainage without becoming too con-
spicuous. In that case the drainage
may be through porous agricultural
tile drains laid few inches below the
surface of the ground. In case it be
impossible or inadvisable for any rea-
son to discharge the sewage as soon as
it IS produced, retaining tank may be
constructed. But in any case it should

New Motor Wheel That Can Go Fifteen

OF all the new inventions and i'm
provements in wheeldom, the very
latest is the petroleum bicycle. With
an oil can strapped on at precisely the
point where the tool bag ordinarily is
carried it will be possible for the cycler
to ride from Maine to California at a
speed of Is miles an hour, or as much
slower as he pleases, without particle
of effort save the slight one of balancing
his wheel.
Should he tire of mechanical power
it will be but moments work to dis
connect the pedals from the motor and
use his legs. The invention has been
fully worked out, and there is at least
one wheel in existence with the petro-
leum equipment.
