ORPHANS

Annual Distribution Of Prizes
to the Most Painstakinq
Pupils.
Names of Those Rewarded and Their
Gifts-ExcelIentP Programme
Rendered.

Yesterday was a gladstone occasion
for the little fellows out at the
Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum,
Hayes and Devisadero streets. The
large gymnasium was crowded with
them, and a goodly number of
older folk, too, who came to
witness the proceedings and add their
voices of praise to those who had by
Industry and correct department
brought themselves into notice The
event was the annual distribution of
prizes by President S. w. Levy. The
exercises were under the direction of
superintendent Henry Mauser and
came before the prize distribution.
AS each of the prizes was given to
the happy recipient the president
made a few we'll chosen remarks, stat
ing at the outset that he hoped the
rewards earned by these would inspire
all to work hard for recognition next
year.
The first prize for scholarship,
the Behrendt medal and $3.50, was
awarded to Arnold Cohen Rebecca
Lakomy received the silver medal and
500. She received a prize in 1896, also,
and her sister Hulda won the 500 for
the same year.
For department, Eta Reuben was
given the house medal and $40. She
won prize in 1894, and her brother
Abe took the Behrendt medal for 1893.
Albert Taussig took the house medal
and SO. as we'll as the girl Last year
he took a prize for punctuality. Abe

very good children, who have made ex-
cellent improvement during the past
year. were given IS each.
For industry Jennie Levy and Milton
Goldstein received So each. Both were
recipients of prizes in 1894
Ray Anshel and Beatrice Sapero were
each given S. for the best sewing. Ray
received a prize in 1894, and her sister
Jennie won the gold medal of the pre-
vious year. Beatrice's brother, Aaron,
was awarded the Behrendt medal last
year. He is now in the high school,
and later on will go to the Hebrew
Union College in Cincinnati and study
for the rabbinate.
William Fogel was given the prize for
neatness, s.. He was recognized in the
distribution of prizes three years ago.
Francis Taussig, Henry Basker and
Jennie Grau were each awarded So for
excelling in Bible history. All are said
to be attentive and studious children.
Following is the programme rendered
by the children for the occasion:

IF CHRIST
HAD NOT COME,

What if Christ had not Gomez" was
the subject of an interesting sermon
delivered by Rev. w. S. Crmy, pastor
of the First NJ. E. Churcn, yesterday
morning. He said in part: what If
Christ had not come? Suppose he had
not appeared when he did, nor had
been seen by men up to this time?
What would have been the condition
of the world? What would have been
our condition had he been living now?
1t is impossible for us to fully con-
ceive the terrible darkness that had
settled down upon the world previous
to the Savior's advent. The people
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-12-27

sat in darkness and in the shadow of
death. They were blinded, prejudiced,
filled with evil and all about them
was a dense cloud of doubt and unbe-
lief. All the earth was filled with
muttering and whispering and in
their own minds were thoughts of evil
spirits, Gods awful wrath and evil
vice.
The speaker then drew vivid pic
ture of Rome and Greece and of the
cruelties practiced by their inhab-
itants and gradual decay due to their
mode of living and their low morals.
Concluding, he said that had Christ
not come we would still be in dark
ness. We would not have had Sum
day-schools, praises to God, no hymn
books, no Christmas entertainments,
no schools of Christianity nor any
thing that tends to uplift our thoughts
to higher plane. His coming has
dispelled the darkness and now light
has spread itself upon the earth and
intelligent improvement has been the
result.

THE USUAL
SERVICES HELD.

Yesterday was rather quiet day in
all the Catholic churches. AT ST.
Mary's Cathedral Father Hannigan
preached at 1920 mass and in the
evening Father Dempsey occupied the
pulpit. AT St. Ignatius, Father Butler
celebrated mass and Father Burkard
preached. The Ladies' Sodality of the
Immaculate Conception met and re-
cited the office of the Blessed Virgin.
At Saint Patrick's Father Kane
preached on the Incarnation. The dec
orations at all the Catholic churches
are particularly effective this year and
crowds visited the churches during the
day
At the Paulists' Church a prominent
member of that order is visiting from
New York, namely Father Hopper. He
intends to stay here for a short time
and will then continue his trip through

difficulty encountered in the prepara-
ton of foundations for the Paris interna-
tional exhibition of 1900 is the character OF
the banks of the Seine, which are formed
of stone and earth filing. resting on fine
sand, easily washed out during periods Of
hcod. This difficulty is being overcome by
a new system, devised by NJ. Louis Dulac.
Wells about two and half feet in diame-
ter, spaced about six feet between centers,
are sunk to varying depths down TO about
Fifty feet by means Of a special pile-driver
having boring weight of conical FORM and
these wells are fiIled with lime and cement
concrete, which is rammed hard by a Sec
ond weight of different form. This process
forms a series of monolithic columns
anchored into the ground, the concrete
spreading 10 some extent into the sides OF
the wells In his first experiments with this
system the inventor was enabled to con-
struct buildings exerting a load of nearly
four tons per square foot on ground that
previously would not carry tenth as
much, and a later building weighing about
eight tons per square foot was placed on
land where the first fall of the boring
weighed had thrown up jet of semi-liquid
mud TO height of thirty feet.

suit inclines from the first to assume the
point of view of his employer. The scien-
fist who has embraced a given theory has
a point of view which leads him to make
every subsequent discovery of fact fit into
his original hypothesis"
The difficulty lies in the fact that such
experts are not scientists except in name.
The difficulty arises from the fact that so
many men who assume to be instructors in
economics and sociology are not scientists,
because, instead of setting up a theory and
hunting for what they are pleased to re-
gard as data TO maintain it, they should
investigate phenomena and draw concu-
sions Thus arises the weakness of expert
or professional testimony Those who are
called to testify on either side are given an
hypothesis to sustain, and they make an
effort to do so.
If experts are to be used in criminal or
civil trials affecting large interests, there
should be some requirement in regard to
attachments. No person should be permitted
to testify as an expert involving a knowl-
edge of anatomy who cannot distinguish
between the skull of a human being and
that of an ape or dog. Such a restriction
would interfere with the long drawn-out
trials in which conflicting expert testimony
plays prominent part, and in the end mud
dies jurors, but it would tend to put all
questions of anatomy and usually of men
tai conditions in a way to settlement on a
really scientific basis. Furthermore, in
stead of permitting plaintiff and defendant
to select their experts, tie court, in impor-
tant cases, should make the choice, so that
the decision. if one should be made with
unanimity, should partake of the judicial
quality of the presiding judge, and thus
dispose of the differences between the ex-
perts of the plaintiff and the experts of the
defendant which simply confuse Jurors
