For the south Seas.
A late San Francisco paper tells
of another band who will 90 to
the South Seas like the colonists
who touched here in the Percy
Edwards few weeks ago.
The paper says: The promoters
of the new scheme are not as
secretive as the Brotherhood
leaders were and talk plainly of
their venture as business pro-
position. Captain Mclean, Cap
tain Quinton and some others
have bought the whaling bark
Mermaid now laid up in Oakland
creek, and will bring her over to
this city in two weeks to fit up for
the trip, The proposition is to
take $50 colonists down to one of
the Solomon islands in the bark
Mermaid on or about May l. A
little after that a good cruising
schooner will be purchased and
another band of colonists will go
down to the islands in her. The
colonists will develop the island
they select and the schooner will
be kept there for trading pur-
poses while the bark will ply be-
tween the colony and this port.

ANNAPOLIS GRADUATES.
United States Navy Officers
Assemble Around the Ban
quet Board

The United States Navy Academy grad
uates associated in California gave a in
ner in the red room of the Bohemian Club
last night. Symmes Harrison Hunt, OF
the class OF 1861, the senior graduate pres
ent, was the presiding officer and toast
master. Seated around the beautifully
decorated table were Captains Glass and
tlarke OF the class of 1868. Lieutenant
Fletcher, Naval Constructor Capps, Com
manders U. Sebree, Frank Curtis and A.

and Speyers, Lieutenants J. r. Parker. W,

There are two societies of this character
in the United States-one in the East and
one in California. 1t is the custom for the
oldest graduate present to preside at the
feast The officers, or governing bouy of
the society, consits of a council OF four.
The members of the California Council
are: Frank J. Symmes, Robert II. Flet-
cher, Frank Curtis and w. S. Hughes
The speeches last evening were clever and
instructive. Every officer present had an
opportunity to make a speech, or relate a
narrative. There is 40 regular time fixed
for these navy banquets. When ships are
in port and the chances fiattering for a
fair attendance, the call for dinner is is
sued. The banquet which took place last
night was deferred for time to enable
other officers 10 be present, but finally
1t was decided TO wait no longer.

SUDDEN DEATH
IN A SYNAGOGUE
Sad Interruption of Ser
vices in a House of
Worship.
Mrs. S. Zakind Succumb to Heart
Failure in the Sheriff.
Israel Temple.
The Joyous F stival Of Shebuoh Sud.
dcn'y Changed TO a Scene
of Grief.

A sad casualty occurred last evening in
the Temple Sheriff. Israel, corner of Post
and Taylor streets, to interrupt the special
Pentecostal services being held in the
synagogue. Mrs. S. Zekind. an elderly
lady and respected member of the con-
gregation, died suddenly during the SER
vices, which were accordingly abruptly
term mated.
About a quarter past s O'Clock Mrs.
Zekind left the nave OF the synagogue,
seemingly i'll, and went downstairs into
one of the small rooms opening INTO the
hallway. She was sisted by relatives
and also by DR.. Abrams, her family ply
sician, who was in the edifice at the time.
In little more than a quarter of an hour
she died OF b cart failure
DR.. Abrams, having attended the de-
ceased woman and knowing the cause OF
her death, made arrangements to have
the body taken directly to her residence,
1924 0'Farreil street, without notifying
the Morgue officials. Gray & Co., under
takers, accordingly removed the body
from the church 10 the residence about
1890 o'clock.
The death of Mrs Zekind was an ex-
ceeding.y sad occurrence, coming as it
aid during the celebration of one of the
most joyous feasts of the Jewish calendar
Thanksgiving and praise were su idenlv
changed to grief, and the congregation
dispersed mournfully after the sad occur
renee.
The Shebuoth, the Jewish Pentecost or
FeFst of Weeks, which had just COM
menced, is festival of more traditional
and religious significance than almost any
other day in the Jewish year. Besides
being the anniversary of the LORD reve-
lation on Mount Sinai it is also the festi-
val of the flowers and the first fruits of
the field and orchard. 1t is the day on
which the Hebrew youth are confirmed in
their faith. The festival is called the
Feast of Weeks from the command in the
twenty third chapter of Leviticus: You
shall count the days from the first day of
the Passover seven Sabbaths; entire
weeks they must be, till the fiftieth day"
The synagogue, like all the other jew
ish places of worship in the City, was
richly decorated for the services, and spe-
ciaI music was to have been given. The
sad death of Mrs. Zekind will doubtless
throw shadow o. mourning over the re-
naming services, which include the con-
tirmation OF eight young children in the
synagogue this morning.

age and the wife of Solomon Zekind of

termined upon his course, but felt that
heretofore not enough attention had been
paid to the details and 100 much had been
left to chance by those who had made the
attempts. The professor, who has the
financial backing of wealthy gentlemen
connected with the University of Chicago
and the Columbi Museum in his efforts,
will decide upon the route TO be selected
when he returns from his coming trip to
Alaska and then the effort of his life will
be made II he displays as much energy
and perseverance in this as he has in the
past, the mysterious North Pole will prob
ably give up the secret which has baffled
30 many explorers.
Professor Dyche's plan of attack on the
citadel of the Frost King will require both
time and money, and he is ready with the
time, while his Chicago hackers are ready
with the money. According to his reason
ing all previous attempts have failed
through a lack of provisions, or because
the explorers became disheartened by the
many obstacles. He thinks that 1t will
TAKE not less than three years to reach the
pole aud return, and when he starts he
will have provisions sufficient to last five
years. This amount will be enough to
cover any possible accident. Previous ex-
plorations have proven that men live and
keep their health in the frozen regions,
and he believes that his past experiences
will enable him to endure any possible
hardship that ne may meet.
The plan by which he expects to sue
ceed is simple-so simple. in fact, that it
is a wonder that it has not long ago been
utilized. 1t is a regular campaign and
steady advance until the pole is reached.
The professor will go TO the whaling
station nearest the pole or the route Sc
lected and make that the base of opera
with their dogs and sledges and start
along the shore of the ocean direct for the
pole.
Al projecting headlands whose contour
is so marked as to preclude the posi-
bility of their being missed he will make
caches of provisions, his idea being to

The baseball season opened auspiciously
in Central Park Yesterday, when the Alerts
defeated the Columbias by score OF IA to L.
Although the Colum bias were clearly
outclassed from the start, the game was
interesting and exciting. The attendance
was first class, considering that it was the
opening game.
The pitching of Weldon, and the short
stop work OF Schmeer, were particularly
commendable, while Birds phenomenal
catch in center field won him great ap-
Dlauss. The third base work of Golsinsky
of the Colum bias was also well-deservine
of mention.

KILLED HIS MOTHER.
Alvin Byley struck His Mother Deat
with N Stick of Wand

Alvin Byley struck His Mother Dead
With Stick of Wood.
News reached Memphis the other day
of brutal murder that occurred about
two miles from Bleas Point, Ark. Alvin
Byley, white man. twenty-five years
of age, is the murderer, and his victim
was his aged mother. Byley, after
dealing the death blow, armed himself
and placed his wife and child in u skiG
and pushed out into the overflow. He
has not been heard OF since. The de-
tails are shocking. Mrs. Byley was
widow, probably tifty-five years OF age.
Alvin Byley has wife and one child,
and lived with his mother. Some time
ago Mrs. Byley adopted an orphan boy
into her family with the intention of
rearing him. Alvin became very much
attached to the child. About O'Clock
that morning the boy committed some
indiscretion and one of Mrs. Byleys
daughters undertook to chastise him.
The child escaped the daughter, but
Mrs. Byley learned of his offense and
started to whip him. This angered AL
win Byley, and he struck his mother
in the face. Words followed, and Alvin
grew more angry. He picked up
heavy piece of plank and with the
strength of an enraged man struck the
woman powerful blow Just under the
heart. Mrs. Byley dropped dead at his
feet.
