Well. Trained Athletes May En-.

Future.
Professor Magee of Berkeley I
Deliver Four Lectures on
"Physica Culture"

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. %. - Gym
nasium work bids fair to become part OF
the curriculum of every High School in
the State. Well-trained track athletes
and sturdy football men may soon be de-
veloped outside of the university. The
time may not be far distant when mile
runners, sprinters. hammer-throwers and
halfbacks will enter college with records
equal to any held by the best of our uni
versity athletes of to-day.
The first step in this direction was taken
to-day when Professor Walter Z. Magee
OF the department of physical cuitur at
the State University left for Southern Cali
fornia to deliver course of four lectures

CHANUKA FESTIVAL
At BETH JACOB
Dedication of Lights Cele-
brated With Special
Services.
Rabbi Linezner Demonstrates the
Progress Made With the
Young Members.
Many Parts of the Festival Were
Rendered in Both Hebrew and
English Tongues.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANc1sco CALL

90S Broadway, Nov. %.
Beth Jacob congregation commenced
the celebration this evening OF the festival
of Chanuka, or the dedication of the lights.
The festival lasts eight days, and each
evening new lamp is lighted with great
ceremony.
Rabbi NJ. Linezner, although only few
weeks with Beth-Jacob, has already
lnagur ated an active educational system
for the children of its mem bers, the object
being to familiarize them with the history
OF their race. The study of the German
and Hebrew languages is undertaken in
connection with the historical lessons.
but all other studies are left to the public
schools. The pupils of the school opened
to-day's proceedings with song.
Rabbi Linezner and pupils rendered
the manrive or evening service, and then
the rabbi performed the ceremony of dedi-
eating the lights, and in this he was also
assisted by his pupils.
The ceremonies were made very inter-
esting to all present. For The benefit of
those who did not understand the He
brew language Miss Sarah White gave
the English translation of the most inter-
esting mum bers. Gus Ringolsky gave the
Hebrew reading OF Chanuka and also the
address on the dedication. 1. Buchanan
read the history of the festival, and was
followed by an English song by the pupils.
From the remarks of H. ]. Landers il
was learned that the school was in very
Furnishing and progressive condition and
was very useful addition to the syna-
gogue. Miss Jennie Buchanan read a
paper explanatory of the dav and the
Misses Sarah White, Augusta White and
Martha Silverstein sang trio.
Since DR.. Linezner's arrival at the
church marked progress has been made.
For some time prior to his coming the
church had run down on account of hav-
ing no permanent pastor. The lost ground
has now more than been regained and
Beth-Jaco has taken on new life
The dedication of lights will close next
Sunday evening.

cal Culture.

on Physical Culture before the annual
session OF the Southern California Teach
ers' Association. Never before in the his.
tory OF education in California have Iec-
lures on the development of the physique
been given by professor from the uni.
yersity outside of the college walls.
Immediately upon bis election to pro-
fessorship Mr.. Magee set about to prenare
course OF Lectures on physical culture,
to be delivered to the high school students
OF the State. The data on the training

which he has been ga herring ever since
becoming connected with the university
eight years ago. has been arranged ami
complied. together with a quantity OF
notes which he has recently taken espc-
ciaily for the purpose.
The lectures by Professor Magee at the
session of Southern California teachers
are considered as the forerunners of n
course of prescribed work in physical
training in every preparatory school OF
the State. The interest along that line in
the secondary schools has been rapidly in
creasing for several years past. As re-
suit OF this precoilegiate training the stu
dents who have entered the university
within the last two years have been much
better developed than their predecesso RS
OF four or five years ago.
1t is the purpose of the university to
still further encourage this systematic
exercise in the public schools, and to that
end Professor Magee will work at such
tunes as he can get away from his duties
at Berkeley.

quest for Silence.

There has been great deal of CURIOSITY
in Italian quarters and elewhere as to
what l.. Palo, charged with the murder of
Agostino PARENT, meant in the Coroner's
office on Saturday when, during the testi-
mony he suddenly arose and sought to
quiet PARENTS widow by few mysteri-
Gus words and signs that none of the Ital-
ians present understood.
Mrs. PARENT was almost historical dur
ing the giving OF evidence bearing on her
husbands death. She wept aloud and
calculated many strange sentences in Ital-
ian during the progress OF the case.
Suddenly Palo, the accused M an, arose.
spoke one or two com handing words of SO
cataiistic q character that none of the
Italians understood them, made a mys-
terious motion across his forehead and sat
down.
Coroner Hawkins was angry over the
proceeding, but the woman was effectu-
allv oueIled When her eyes met Palo's
she ceased her noise and went to the mex,
room, where she spoke no more. brit
sobbed quietly during the entire proceed
ing.
There were rumors yesterday that the
signs were those of La Malta, but Italians
do not credit the story. Speaking of tie
signs yesterday Joseph Marinl, who has
travelled widely over Italy, said: ssSome
sucn crossing of the head as Is reported to
have occurred during the trial is the super
stitious and somewhat solemn warning
resorted to by peasantsin Southern Italv
when they desire TO impress upon a friend
the idea that speech may be followed by
dire disaster I might say 1t is PRAYER or
i'm precation, invoking GOD to make the
person addressed remain quiet. Why
Paio wanted the woman to remain quiet /
do not know. but / believe the sign was
nothing but solemn injunction TO keep

ALLIANCE DISAPPOINTED.
Not Chosen as Guard of Honor to tn,
esident-Elect.


OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 29.-The dis
patch from Canton, Ohio, relating to the
personal escort OF President-eIect McKin-
ley came like thunderclap to the Repub-
liam Alliance of Oakland. 1t stated tina,
the Eighth Regiment of the Ohio Ma.
tlonal Guard has been selected to act as
Major McKinley's personal escort to
Washington from Canton.
Since the election the alliance has hoped
that it would be accorded the honor of be.
ing Major McKinley's personal escort.
They had some ground for their hope.
Alameda County saved California for Nc
Kinley. and the alliance worked SO hard
during the campaign that it naturally
considered it had some right to recogni-
ton.
The arrangements for trip to Canton
for the purpose of escorting tn. President
elect to Washington were taken up in
earnest, but were h cid in allegiance until
it wss Known whether the Alliance would
be chosen or not.
The news of to-day has proved big dis

THE LADY AND THE DRESS
Pertinent Comments Recent
Masquerade Sequet-The Es-
tuary Bridge.

OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 29.-The man.
ayers OF the masquerade balls that have
been held up to this part of the season re-
greet that they have departed from their
usual custom OF naming comm ittees of
AWARDS. This city has three daily papers,
and the custom has been to appoint their
representatives on the all-im portant COM
mittee ct mask ball. There has never
been any appeal from their judgment and
all were satisfied. When the Merry Mon
archs held their bali a few nights ago q
committee acquainted with the maskers
was appointed and the result may yet be
tragic. The whole of the Bay District has
become interested In that ball, and Miss
Minnie Riley and Mrs. Dillingham; have
been forced 10 defend their respective
types of beauty, their tastes, their honor
and truthfulnesS and also their financial
condition through the press. ALI this has
been very humiliating to Golden Gate and
Emeryville society and more sensational
developments are yet expected.
"Wc've had lots of tronble,'' said a
manager this week, that we didn't have
when we let the reporters have the choice
and | guess We'll have to go back TO the
old order OF things. You see a reporter
never has any lady friends, and he don't
pay any attention to masked faces, and
so ne passes an opinion solely on the
costumes, and that's what we'want. Then
again, a newspaperman doesn't pass half
his time al the bar and SO he is not likely
to get muddled, and altogether they make
the best judges"
This masquerade manager is to be con-
graduated on his correct conception.
If the best interests of Oakland harbor
are consulted there will be but one brid ge
across the estuary in the future. There is
no traffic that requires two bridges, and
the increasing shipping in the harbor and
the projected Improvements make it i'm
perative that there shall be minim UNI OF
obstruction across the estuary. 1t is a
very difficult matter to tow big ship
through two drawbridges unless both are
opened at once and the tug can have a
clear passage For.years shipping men
have been complaining of the delays &C.
casioned by the two drawbridges, and to
sailing schooners that have to beat up or
down the channel the loss is very great.
Within the past month some large bunk
ers and wharves have been opened in the
upper harbor, ard the contract for others
was only let few days ago. This means
that the largest class of vessels will soon
be navigating the upper harbor, ana to
have TO pass two bridges, when but one is
necessary, IS only needless increase of
danger. STUART w. BOOTH.

The ordinance extending the provis-

from running at large in the Seventh

the measure came over to the Second

the measure was referred TO the Com
