of peace will rest upon 1t forever and that
glance at the Elks' Rest will furnish key that
will unlock the noblest feelings OF the human
heart.
The quartet sang "The Eye That Never
Sleeps" after which Brother Frederick
the eulogy. Mr.. Warde said:
the dead has been from time 1mmemorial an
honored custom in all countries, in all cltmes,
In all communities, in all ages.
The ancient Egyptians, who held the burial
OF their dead as very sacred duty, wrapped
them in bands of linen, inclosed them in per-
fumes and spices and laid them away in the
grim vaults that were afterwards raised to
pyramids.
The aboriginal sometimes places his dead in
the limbs of some tall tree, or here the
original inhabitant of this country erected
platforms upon which they placed their dead:
SO that at all times the most reverent love .and
care has been directed to their disposition.
1t is an inherent human trait to pay respect
and esteem to the body and the spirit OF the
the poet, is carried to a grand cathedral,
whose lifted dome and pinnacle pierces the
air, and with appropriate ceremonies is buried
within the chancel of that sacred pile.
The prince and the king, with all the pomp
and circumstance of majesty and pride, is laid
within his cofined rest with magnificent
ceremonial; the peasant who has passed away
simple burial service Of his church is laid to
rest in Goods acre. where leach in his mar.
row cell for ever laid the rude forefathers of
the hamlet Sleep
The sailor who passes away at sea is rever-
emily wrapped within his country's flag and
committed to the deep, where the crested
wave is his monument and the everlasting
surge his requiem.
The soldier that dies upon the field of battle,
or dies in the discharge of his duty, is carried
upon a gun-carriage to his grave; If he is q
cavalryman, his horse marches behind him,
and over his remains his comrades fire q fare
well volley.
So each have their ceremonial of interment,
but we, as brother Elks, have chosen this
beautiful spot to place our dead. Here, upon
this rising ground, where the gentle breezes
from the Pacific pass sweetly over IL, where
the sun gently kisses it in the morning, and,
ere it bids the world good night, leaves gentle
loving kiss behind.
Here is no majestic abbey, no grand resting
place for monarchs, but in sweet, gentle
simple spot, protected by these beautiful trees
on one side, these grand old hills uponsthe
other, we reverently lay our dead to rest with
simple ceremony, but with hearts that go with
them into the silent tomb.
And, brothers and friends, here may they
rest. May the flowers bloom sweetly o. er their
graves; may their perfume be an incense to
the stars that look down upon them in the
silent watches of the night protect their
spirits from harm, and may this monument
that stands above them, emblematical of the
sentiments that were held to them in life
continue to them in death. AS q silent SEN
tinel he stands, an emblem of fidelity, charity

In spite Of the threatening weather, a
big crowd of coursing enthusiasts assem-
bled at Ocean View Park yesterday and
witnessed coursing the quality of which
was far above the average.
The crowd was in betting humor, and
the winning of several shortenders at 5
and 6 to made the speculation lively. A
phenomenal dog made his appearance in
King Carlo, who, ut to 1, beat Mascot
almost pointless. Maud G's defeat of
Captain Morse also hit the talent hard.
Toward the close OF the day the fayorit es
won with great regularity, and revived the
tagging spirits Of the long-and players.

Westphal & Samm, died at Los Angeles yes
terday. The deceased was engaged IN
business in this city for q quarter OF CEN
tury, and stood very high in the COM
mercial world. He was an ardent sup
porter of several German societies. About
two years ago Mr.. Samm Went to Los
Angeles to try and regain his health. which
had been poor for long time. He sold
his interest in the milling business to his
partner, Mr.. Westphal, for SIC, geo.
Mr.. Samm's illness took serious turn
recently, and the marriage of his two
daughters was postponed in consequence.
Friday, his illness became worse, and
Saturday he died. Mr.. Samm was about
55 years of age and was always very active.
He leaves considerable property, large
portion of which is Oakland realty,
Wanted as Curios.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 15.-Abe Ma
jors, the boy burglar, has sent to his
mother disatfirmation of the assignment
he made to Attorney Ned Ayers OF the
pistols and burglar tools found on him
when arrested. Majors has also sent his
mother an assignment of all his earthly
possessions. She has handed it over to
G. w. Nevin. Attorney O'Brien, repre-
senting Mrs. Willmore, has joined issues
with Nevin to beat the claim of Attorney
Josephs, who has brought q replevin suit
TO OeclCe the ownership OF the burglars
outfit. II is conceded on all sides that the
goods are not worth much in themselves,
but it is said that they are valuable as
relics, hence the struggle for possession.
Rev. Mr.. Hudelson Speaks.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 15.--Rev. B. f.
Hudelson, State President of the A. P. A.,
introduced local politics into his lecture
at Elite Hall this afternoon. The speaker
said that the position of the Congressional
district in regard to this county is ridicu-
lous and un-American. at is all non
sense for six men to get together and say
who shall appoint the. men who, shall
nominate the next President We all want
hand in it, and we all intend to have a
hand in it. Onr cry is, America for
Americans and when handful of men,
more or less responsible, get the idea that
they can dictate to community 1T is
time it is stopped" The speakers re-
marks were loudly applauded.

to witness and take part in the unveiling
of the monument and the dedication of
the Elks' Rest.
At noon it looked as though the demon
stration would take place under umbrellas,
but the sunshine and the showers alter
mated during the afternoon and compar-
atiyely large crowd was attracted to the
cemetery. At times it seemed as if nature
had entered into an alliance with the
speakers to make the dedication as impress
siye as possible. When the large flag was
being hoisted from the bronze elk light
shower was falling, but before the stars
and stripes had reached the masthead a
golden beam of sunshine illuminated it
and brought forth murmur Of approba-
ton.
Several times during the eulogy of
Frederick Warde and the Grafton of
Thomas CIunie the same thing took place.
When the speakers were referring to
solemn topics there seemed invariably to be-
q cloud overhead. but when they launched
forth on the beauties of fraternal love and
protection the sun peeped out from be-
tween the dark layers of nimbus and
seemed very appropriate.
AS early as the noon hour Elks began to
congregate at the lodgeroom at Twelfth
and Franklin streets. Among the first to
arrive was Golden Gate Lodge No. of San
francisco. Among the visitors were: Ex-
afted Ruler J. o. Refs, Esteemed Secretary
knight. H. d. Scham, Esteemed Loyal
knight G. Helgard, Secretary J. +. How
eli. Treasurer w. G. Dutton, Esquire j. o.
Hawes. Tiler A. A. Terry. j. Y. Peterson,
T. Alexander, G. S. Hoffman, r. J. Pres
ton. ]. P. Dunno, A Perrier, C. W. Nevin
and about sixty other members. Golden
Gate Lodge also brought with them band
of twenty-five pieces and figured very
prominently in the procession.
Delegates were also present from Ia
coma, Olympia, San Diego, Sacramento,
stockton, San Luis Obispo. Cincinnati,
Minneapolis, New York City. Fair Haven
wash !. Hartford (Conn.). and St Louis
Five past grand exalted rulers were pres
emf. They were: G. ". Nevin, w. c.
Dudley and Ernest Ul!man, from Lodge
No. s.; J. H. Tom from No. 21S, and
George de Cola from III.
A preliminary service was held IN the
lod oeroom. at which Mayor Davie pre-
senfed the district deputy of California
and Arizona, Ernest Ullman, with the key
To the freedom of Oakland. A brief reply
was made. and the procession was formed.
a fter an escort of police were all the dele
cations from visiting lodges, many OF
them in carriages, and all wearing the IN
sigma of the order. Mayor DAVE, f5eoer-
lex Warde. Thomas J. Clunie and the
officers of various lodges and the invited
guests of honor came next. Following
was Oakland Lodge No. III, which turned
ont in great strength. The procession, ac-
compannied by two bands, and with the
banners of many lodges flying aloft,
marched out to Seventeenth street, and
then proceeded in cars to the cemetery.
The Elks' Rest is one of the prettiest sec
tions of pretty territory. When the vis-

ered with an American flag. The same
oecoratlon was used for the platform,
winch was on the south side, facing the
statue.
After Chaplain f. P. McFeely had in
Voked divine blessing on all present the
ritual service of the Elks was rendered.
The exalted ruler and officers of Oakland
Lodge and the quartet, composed of Messrs.
Graham, Smith. w. A. Melvin and Mac
Balne, conducted the service, and their
voices seemed to take on an unusually
solemn and impressive tone as they sung
the responses, which were echoed back
from the hills inclosing that vast city of
the dead. When the Rest had been dedi-
Gated, Miss Flossie Sloper, daughter of Di-
rector H. n. Sloper of the Elks' Rest As
sociation, walked to the halyards that
were dangling adown the mast that is
placed near the platform. The large flag
over the bronze elk had been so placed
that as the statue was unveiled the flag was
hoisted to the masthead.

said Miss Sloper in firm voice, II take
great pleasure in unveiling the statue that
IS symbolical of charity, justice, brotherly

the large elk was exposed to view and as
the flag mounted to the top Of the staff
The sun subdued the rain and shone glori-
ously.
AS soon as the flag was clear of the elk
the assembled brethren, with uncovered
heads, sang in harmony the lodge ode:
Great Ruler OF the universe,
All seeing and benign,
Look down upon and bless our work,
And be all glory Thine;
OH bless this spot Of hallowed earth,
Preserve il as our shrine
Our tribute to departed worth
For "Auld Lang Syne."
Very impressive, full of meaning and
strikingly artistic was the scene in Noun
tain View Cemetery while the ode was be-
ing sung. The gathering around the
statue sang with uncovered heads. On
the right side of the silent elk that looked
down upon the people shone the sun upon

Travel to the ocean beach in the fore
noon was very light. In the afternoon the
cars of all the lines were carrying many
passengers, all bound for the entertain
ment in the Sutro Baths. During the
afternoon there was, considering the day,
a very good attendance of; spectators and
bathers. Up to o'clock over four hum
dred had robed themselves in bathing suits
and tested the temperature of the clear,
invigorating water from the ocean. Colonel
T. ?. Robinson had provided pleasing

was given an exhibition of fancy SWIM
