his motive for making so many donations,
he said:

HARVEST HOME.
The Church of the Advent the Scene
of Large Gathering Last
Night

Some three or four hundred children, as
well as large congregation of adults,
crowded the Episcopal Church of the Ad-
vent to the doors last night on the occasion
of the Harvest Home festival. A pro-
gramme OF special orchestral and vocal
music was finely rendered during the
evening, the former including Gounods
magnificent lave Maria" and Rats
scarcely less beautiful "Cavatina, /" together
with violin solo by T. G. Plise. George
King, the young organist of the church,
played with conspicuous ability.
The members of the orchestra were as
follows: Pianist, Miss Kate Madden; first
violins, T. q. Plise and ]. Harding; second
violins, Louis Sorian and Emile Coret;
flute, s. Disbecker; cornetist, w. @. Muir
raw clarionetist, f. Lane.
The chancel and approaches were ex-
quisitely decorated with votive offerings
from the field and orchard, the handsome
altar in particular forming a most attrac-
tive center piece. The effect of such fea-
lures as the foregoing was further intensi-
fed by the picturesque accessories of the
Episcopalian ritual. Rarely, in fact, has
the handsome interior of the Church of
the Advent been seen to greater advantage.
The rector, Rev. ]. a. Emery, was as
sisted in the conduct Of the service by
Revs. II. B. Monges and Hewitt, while
the children of the Sunday-shool were
under the supervision of Superintendent
J. Allaire.
The children having been put through
the catechism, the rector briefly adj
dressed the congregation. He expressed
hope that the present might merely
prove one of many similar gatherings,
and intimated that the collection would
be set aside for the benefit of the Sunday
school.
He could not recollect single previous
instance on which he had ever made
begging appeal from the chancel. but to-
night he would ask them to do something
for the children, so that when Christmas
came round once more it would be pos
sible to give them as happy festival and
as many remem brances as has been done
in the time gone by.

Easily Vanquished the Oak

The reconstructed, reformed. rejuve-
mated ImperiaIs were too strong for the
Oakland ball-players yesterday, and in the
latter part of the game walked away from
their opponents.
The colts played an errorless game,
despite the fact that Wllds is credited
with a misplay. The only error made
was one OF judgment, and it should have
been credited to Pitcher MCCARTHY, who
tried to catch Feeney at first in the last
inning, after having given him base on
balls. The Oaklands too folded well.

not one Of which proved costly.
The Imperials were first at bat, and
John Mccarthy, the initial batter, was hit
by pitched ball. He went to first base
and was advanced to third on Nealon's
single. Nealon went to second on Wilds'
out at first. Tillson landed safe hit
back OF second base and both Mccarthy
and Nealon scored. Nealon failed to touch
third base, however. and was declared out
because of his oversight. Muller retired

Commissioners-It Will Be

Animals That Are Now in the Zoo.
Crowds at the Ocean Beach.
Markeburg's Ascension.

The shower yesterday morning laid the
dust in Golden Gate Park, and in the after
noon the balmy atmosphere brought a
great crowd to the big pleasure-grounds.
Superintendent McLaren has returned
from his vacation to Lake Tahoe, which
he declares is undoubtedly the most beau
tiful sheet of water in the United States.
While roaming through the mountains
that surround the lake he secured large
collection of cones of the different pines
growing there and will plant seeds in one
of the arboreta In the park.
The Commissioners have let to Alex
ander McLenon, for $4,000, the contract
for building the great bridge across the
main drive near the museum. It will be
of Rocklin granite, after the plan which
was published in THE CALL on the 9th of
last February. The parapets will be put
up, but much of the ornamentation that
was introduced by the architects in the
original design wills for the time being be
omitted. There will be path for pedes-
TRANS on the north side of the bridge, the
drive for vehicles in the centre and a
bicycle track on the south side.
1heswalk from the tunnel on the eastern
side of the grand court to the broad steps
opposite the museum has been put in
order, and many OF those who went to the
aviary took that route to the Egyptian
building, enjoying for the first time trip
through the new tunnel. The work Of
putting the facings on the new north tun-
mel is progressing, and it will not be long
before the people will have an opportunity
of passing under the main drive to reach
the Fulton-street entrance.

quite numerous at this time. There are

the work of arranging some of the displays
will be commenced.

TO LEAD STANFORD MEN
Football Captain Fickert Worked
All Summer Near
Tehachapi.
Comes Back Hopeful and Determined
and Says the Team Must Play
Fast Game.

Charles M. Fickert, captain of the Stan
ford football team, arrived here yesterday
from the mountains near Tehachapi Pass,
where he has spent the last three months
in different kinds of rough work, that he
might be well prepared to go upon the
gridiron field and lead his men through q
vigorous season. His father owns some
land in that part OF the country, a little
farm of about $1,000 acres, devoted to the
raising of grain and cattle, and there the
son, who is a youth about six feet two
inches in height and strongly built, has
been taking turn at everything that
would produce muscle.
He is very hopeful over the prospects at
Palo Alto, whittier he will go to-day to
look at the incoming freshmen.
This year" said he, the Stanford team
must play faster game. That is one of
the things / shall work for. Then / want
to take Soper in hand at once and teach
him to tackle. He is a good punter, but
that is not the only requisite for full
back. That position will be hardest to
fill, particularly as Berkeley has such a
fine kicker in Captain Ransome. He is
the whole team. There is big, active
fellow named Freeman, freshman last
year, that count on some for fullback.
He is the tennis champion and played on
the baseball team. He is cool and strong.
Then there is Young, first base in the ball
team. He weighs 205 pounds and might
make good guard. We are pretty well
| off, though, in the line. Fisher and Dale
or Thomas are good men for halls. What
we will most need are fullback and a
quarter. / have an idea now that we
couldn't do better than put Jeffs and
| Cotton on the ends.
81 hear there is q great deal of fresh
| man material of some experience, espe-
cially players from the Northwest where
| they say we are to get four or five men.
| But do not count much on freshmen for
the varsity. In the last four years only
two freshmen have made the Stanford
team-McMillan of '97 and Cotton OF '9s.
The prospects are good for a much better
| freshman eleven than in previous years,
and that means something to the varsity
next year or the year after. The captain
of the Denver High School team is already
at Palo Alto and will enter as freshman,
and there are others from the East.
heard the other day that Whitehouse is
coming back to Stanford. He played
tackle in '93 and afterward left college,
played with the Reliance, and is now in
the East, where he has just given up his

ond, went to third on Donovan's out and
scored ON Walton's fly 10 left.
In the fifth, singles by Crowley and Joe
Mccarthy, base on balls and Nealon' s
force hit scored two runs for the Impe-
rials, while in the sixth the Oaklands
earned tally on double by Walters and
Feeney's single. The run-getting of the
visitors ended right there, and the Impe-
rails failed to score again until the eighth.
In the last inning but one, John McCar-
thy made the star play of the game. Ag-
new was first at bat, and he lifted one of
those exasperating low flies that are too
high for the infield and too short for the
outield. It looked dollars to doughnuts
that the ball would fall safe, but by great
exhibition of sprinting Mccarthy got up
in time To get the ball.
He captured it not two feet from the
ground and was roundly applauded. In
the ninth inning Walters made a catch
almost as brilliant as McCarthy's and
thereby robbed Warde Of hit.
In the eighth inning the Imperials add
ed two runs to their score. Nealon led
off with double and Wilds got base on
balls. Muller landed a pretty single to
center and both Nealon and Wilds scored.
The ball was thrown wild in trying to
catch the Imperial first baseman at the
plate and Muller tried to score on the play
and was caught at the rubber.
Three more tallies were corraled by the
Imperials in the final inning on two sim
giles, two bases on balls and a triple.
Following is the official score:

and Tears.

The Discussion Was on Human Sorrow
and Tears.
Many took part in Mrs. Cooper's Bible
class yesterday in the discussion of the
causes which led to the defeat and death
OF David's favorite.so AbsaIom. Many
visitors from Eastern cities were present.
"This is lesson OF human sorrow and
tears" said the teacher. "David received
heart wound from which he never fully
recovered. David's unspeakable agony
tells us that wrong doing brings the fruit
OF pain. David remembered his crime
against Uriah. He knew, too, that he had
not been faithful to his hayward son. Alb
salon. But David still loved his son.
And here we come to the divine revelation
OF the Heavenly Father. Our sins do not
change the fact OF our relationship; we
are still Gods children, however hayward
and prodigal we may be. But there Is
strength and severity, If need be, in true
love. True fatherhood lays firm hand
on the headstrong boy and says: Stop,
my boy, and think. This must not be.
You are going to destruction. This shall
not be- Then, sometimes, the grieved
and loving father uses q little physical
persuasion. believe God would be ten
der to US all the time IL he could be, if we
would obey his holy laws in US"

DR.. Bowen Almost Elected Pas
tor of the New Jerusalem
Church.
The Congregation Decides to Retain
Him in It's Pulpit for the
Time Being.

The pasrorate OF the First New Jerusa-
lem Church is still vacant, though the
pulpit is for the present ably filled by the
eloquent and popular DR.. Bowen. A meet
ing OF the church members was held yes
terday for the purpose OF putting an end
to this temporary arrangement by the
election of DR.. Bowen to the pastorate,
but owing to the absence of q small num-
Der OF persons the object of the meeting
was not realized.
Sixty,four voting members of the church
society were present, besides about 200
regular attendants at the church services.
Judge Provine presided, and in brief
address stated the object for which the
meeting had been called and asked the
members to endeavor to come TO some
dehnlte conclusion as to regular supply
ing of the pulpit.
There has been talk Of some little fric-
ton among the members and the result of
the meeting would seem, in some degree,
TO connrm the rumor, as the two thirds
vote necessary for DR.. Bowep's election
could not be attained. A number of
the reverend gentleman's friends in the
congregation are absent from the City.
Had they been in town his election would
have been a certainty, since he lacked
only two votes.
Ii appearing impossible to elect DR..
Bowen as pastor, it was decided at all
events to retain him temporarily, and the
following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, The failure of this meeting to
electa minister may prove instrumental in
tenn porarliy closing the church, result that,
IN the estimation OF many members, would be
extremely detrimental to the best interests OF
the cause OF the new church and Of this soci-
ETY. IN particular; and whereas, there has all
ready been noted an increased attendance and
renewed interest under the earnest and able
ministry OF our beloved brother, the Rev. D..
Y. Bowen, who, by reason of our invitation,
mas supplied the pulpit of this church during
the lew weeks that he has been sojourning
among US. therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the board of trustees OF this
society De and are hereby authorized and re-
quested TO continue the present arrangements
with Mr.. Bowen, or make any other agreement
That may prove acceptable and satisfactory to
the aforesaid trustees and to Mr.. Bowen, 10 the
enc .nat he may continue to occupy the pulpit
OF tnls church to administer to our spiritual
wants, until such time as his permanent sue
cessor shall have been duly elected in accord
ance Win Inc terms of the constitution OF this
society.
Or. Bowen seems satisfied with the
action OF the meeting and will bring his
family to reside with him in this City
during his connection with the church.
