CHURCH FAIRS NECESSARY
Berkeley Episcopalians Discuss.
ing Means of Raising
Money.
Rev. G. E. Swan Thinks Ladies and
Their Work Are the Main
Support of Religion.

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 26.-The pre-.
paration OF mem bers Of st. Marks Church
to give bazaar have caused general dis
cussion of the recent strong denunciation
of such methods of raising money for re-
Iigious work. Rev. George Z. Swan, rec
tor of the church, announces himself as
unalterably opposed to lotteries or any
games of chance being pressed into SER
vice for the church, but under present
conditions he does not object to fairs, etc.
The Rev. Mr.. Swan is taking an active
part in the preparations for the coming
Episcopalian bazaar.
''If the people would follow the Biblical
injunction to give tithe of their property
to God there would be no excuse Tor fairs. J"
said Mr.. Swan. There would be sufficien MT
funds without bazaars for the support of
local churches and of missionary work as
well.
LAS matters stand now the cause of
Christianity Is mainly served by the
women. Our marriage service makes the
bridegroom to say, with all my worldly
goods thee endow, but every one knows
that as rule the wife has not full access
to her husbands purse, and thus she is not
wholly at liberty to give to the church as
she might wish to.
"But the women have their time and
talents, which they may rightly devote
to arranging legitimate enterprises for the
raising Of funds"
The Carnot Medal.
BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 26.-The close
of the football season turns student atten-
tion to the coming intercollegiate debate
for the Carnot medal. series of three
debates on subjects connected with
French educational systems has already
been arranged by the students congress
and Professor Gsyley's class in argu-
mentation. One of the conditions of the
Carnot debate is that 1t must be upon a
subject connected with the French Gov
ernment, hence the commencement of
discussion of possible lines OF argument in
the final contest.

saw he was going to fall and grabbed to
save his companion, but was unable to
do so.
When Quintrell fell he struck against a
rail- and cut horrible cash in the left side
OF his head and, as was afterward ascer-
tanned, received compound fracture of
the skull. A round wound in his fore
head indicates that he struck against
projecting spike.
The train men saw the accident and
caused the train TO be brought to stand
still. The injured man was at once re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital, where
he died.
Della Fox and Ellen Yaw.
OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 26.-Della Fox

house at the Macdonough Theater to-
night. She will finish the week and give
matinee Saturday.
Ellen Beach Yaw, who appears shortly
at the Macdonough Theater, has a nEe
voice. The most remarkable point about
her singing is that she sings in her lower
register with the breadth of contralto.
The Oakland Theater opened last night
with the Pearson Company in Land of

the people are clever and the scenery is
all new. The house was packed tonight.

OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 26.-Captain
Badger of East Oakland wanted to pay

property. When he asked for his bill he
found there was none. Assessor Dalton

own the water front, and pending final
decision regarding the title he refuses to
assess it. Captain Badger desires to pay

NOW MRS. DILLINGHAM; CLAIMS THE
PRIZE.

The friends of Miss Riley were doubtless
much surprised to read in Wednesdays paper
so many false, absurd and one-sided state
ments concerning the watch won as prize at
a masque ball on Saturday evening.
The dress which took the prize is one that
has been in Mrs. Diilfngham's possession
about two years, and one that she has worn at
many masquerades without sue cess in win
ming prizes. She persuaded a young man that
lives at her house to ask Miss Riley to wear
the gown as she could not afford so cents TO
attend the ball. She offered the dress as
friend, ana of her own free will. There were
four friends of Miss Riley present at the time
and to none of them did he mention that the
prize II won went to the owner of the dress.
Miss Riley was urged and persuaded TO go to
the Dillingham; residence and don the dress
Mrs. Dillingham; was never in better health in
her life. and not violently i'll as stated. She
told Miss Minnie Riley that she could not
AFFORD SO cents to attend the ball and scanned
pleased TO have her friend wear the dress, but
not once did she mention the prize until she
had robed the young lady for the ball, and
then she said she would expect the prize If
won, and Miss Riley said that she would di-
vide with her.
Miss Riley asked If she should return the
dress that evening and Mrs. Dillingham; said |:
That's all right. There is no hurry at all
about bringing back the dress" Miss Riley
says: 81 think II presumptiye, unjust, unfair
and selfish in Mrs. Dilliug nam TO want the
whole prize when the dress would have re-
mained at nome 4 had not worn IL 10 the
ball. She acted very shrewdiy in the manner
dress, and in not mentioning the prize until
was nearly ready for the ball. I thought it
fair TO divide 1t, and each take half, as ] told
her would do, and Mrs. Dillingham; knew
very we'll tnat by recourse to law she would
gain nothing, and she was glad to pay me half
the value of the watch, whereupon / sur
rendered IL 70 her"
The So the young man offered Mrs. Dilling-
ham on his return from the bali was not for
the watch, which was never at any time in
Mrs. Dillingham's possession. The money was
offered as rent for the use of the suit that even
ing. Miss Riley EN- mphatically denies that she
ever said she would turn over the whole prize
If won TO Mrs. Dillingham;. at sounds absurd
to me-" says Miss Riley, "for Mrs Dillingham;
to say that have taken her property and talk
about it being returned to her, and getting il
back and so on when she never at any time
had the watch in her possession. Mrs. Dill
ingham is mfsrepresenting facts in saying
that am betrothed and engaged to the young
man in the case That is all her own conjec-
ture and does not relate to this case at ALL -

Ii some mutual friend be not speedily
found II is feared that the code duello will
be resorted to by two ladies of Golden
Gate. These ladies were friends, but have
quarreled, and the casus belli, as all the
world knows, was masquerade ball dress.
The ladies are Mrs. Dillingham; and Miss
Minnie Riley, and each is a leader of one
OF the exclusive sets of North Oakland
society. Mrs. Dillingham; was the first to
rush into print with her story, and Miss
Riley does not in tend to be showed under.
The story in its origin was trivial, but the
Developments are appalling.
Mrs. Dillingham; has now declared that

her story has so aggravated Miss Riley
that she has turned journalist and has
prepared her side OF the case.

Are Great Stuff.

If l was asked what one thing had
brought most comfort into Maine
homes in the last 80 years, / should
say the Introduction of wire screens
for doors and windows" This was the
complacent remark of laxative man
the other day, as he drummed on the
inside of the window screen to make
the numerous flies lowering on the
outside jump from their perches. I'VE
boast of our Maine climate and of the
health-giving comfort to be found
here in summer time, without ever
thinking how much of it depends on
these wire coverings for windows and
good 80 years ago as now. but it hadn't
tenth part of the comfort which we
now experience. Then mosquitoes bit
us whenever they wanted to and made
summer night a season of torture
And by day the house flies swarmed
so thick that if they did not bite they
made one tired with the effort of
brushing them away. AT meal time
they accompanied the food from plate
to mouth unless one was careful, and
they lowered in black clouds over eV-
cry savory dish. Restore these things
to our Maine summer and how quickly
the comfort would disappear. j re-
member that when the little dome
shaped wire covers for protecting
dishes OF food from flies appeared we
thought them a luxury; but it would
spoil Maine to go back even to that
state of things. The idea of using
screens to shut out flies is so simple
that one wonders the wise men of this
world lived SO many thousand years
without thinking of it. Maine owes
so much to the unknown genius who
first started the notion that we ought
to do him daily homage in summer
time by saying: God bless the man
who first invented door and window
screens.

An Augusta man has a wonderful
rooster. a bird which exhibits the
effects of gradual reduction of size
through efforts at passing through
smaller and smaller apertures. This
is on the principle supplied by some of
the athletes who by increasing the
weight one pound per day in lifting,
have come at last to lift an enormous
load. 1t seems the rooster developed a
propensity for crawling through aper-
lures in the side of his pen to forage
on the neighbors' gardens. His owner
closed the largest hole and supposed
that was enough. But the bird tried
the next smaller hole and next day
squeezed through it. This was closed
and he tried the next one and got
through that This has been going on
for some weeks, nutil now the anatomy
of the bird is all length and no thick
ness and the hole needed for his pass
age is too small to be worth mention
ing. He deserves to be made part
