CHRISTMAS SERVICES.
The Sacred Day Observed Most
 Generally in Oakland.

MISS O'NEIL
 IN "MAGDA"

Miss Nance O'Neil, who has been all the way to Honolulu and back since we saw her last, broke the Christmas Sabbath by commencing a return en- gagement in the California Theater last night. The play was Sudermann's Mazda" one not calculated to attract the usual holiday crowd, but it drew a considerable number of cultivated persons, possibly those who have no homes; and duty tore the critics from their Christmas boards and firesides. Now even critic hates to ply his trade on this night of traditional peace and good will, and Miss O'Neil couldn't have hoped to have the opening pub lished to the town as seasonable and considerate. Mazda" on Christmas night is about as appropriate as an ice- cream Is at breakfast It Is a play that strikes deep and troubles the emotions everybody finds in it something of his or her own personal problem. It Is a domestic tragedy, one of the strong est ever written, and it doesn't blend with the holly, the mistletoe and the yule which are supposed to bring us forgetfulness and optimism. No; Miss O'Neil's date and play were not timely. ut-professional justice is stronger
 
 owned up to that her performance com- manded admiration and respect. Like nearly every character played by this tempestuous young genius, 1t was un- even and frequently lacking in the softer depths and subtleties, but 1t was full of cerebral vigor and it brought out that big brutal note which the role will stand for in a consistent interpre- tation along that line. Miss O'NeiIs Mazda is not the creature of delicate ironies and bitternesses that Nodes ka's is, but rather an heroic young woman of the injured-herofne type, febrile and explosive. Mckee Rankin gives large Bismarckian impression of the old father that is quite dramatic in part, but on the whole too elaborate and obvious in detail; and Herbert Carr is an earnest even if somewhat conventional pastor. Owing to an ac- cident met with by George Trimble, Lionel Clark was called upon to play Won Kellar at a few hours notice; and in the circumstances he did creditable work. None of the men were objec- tionable, but without exception the sub sidiary female parts were played with poor understanding of the piece and unfortunate effect.

The upper Nile Region.

I do not myself believe that our gen. eration will get much value out of the Nile Valley. For in what does the Sou dan consist7 It is, as it were, a single thread of blue silk drawn across great brown nugget; and even the blue thread itself is brown for many months in the year. Where the waters of the Nile soak into the banks there grow thorn bushes and poisonous weeds. Where the inhab- itants splash the water over their scrappy fields-perhaps fifty yards square-there are hard-won crops. This belt of vege- tation is rarely more than a few hundred yards broad. And the rest Is desert-mis- erable, aching, desolate desert. There is plenty of room to lie down and die in. But it is no place for a man to live in.-Lieu- tenant Winston Spencer Churchill, in North American Review.

A Notable Wedding.

ALAMEDA. Dec. 25.-Miss Lenora Cas- tro and George Burgess were married this evening at the home of the brides par ents, MT. and Mrs. J. C. Castro, 1923 Pa cific avenue. Rev. Father O'Connell of St. Joseph's Catholic Church officiated The wedding was a notable affair from the fact that 1t marked the reunion of one ot the oldest and most prominent Spanish families identified with the early history of California. The brides grandfather was Governor of the State from 1886 tc 1888, and was later commander-in-chief ot the Mexican forces in the war of 1S46

MAJOR wILK1NsoN's DEATH.
How the Brave Officer Fell Fighting
 Indians.


 Major Wilkinson met his death at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after the bat tie had been on for over three hours: He was standing at one corner of the block house, running those keen eyes of his up and down the line and carefully directing the fire of his men and encouraging them as he only knew. It Is a wonder that he survived as long as he did, or indeed, lived to tell the tale. Any one standing erect was a most conspicuous target, and the dusky sharpshooters had their eyes on them. He was shot first through one of his legs and fell down. Quickly re- gaining his feet, he called out: I'm hit. lieutenant, but not bad; keep the men to- gether."
 house, where his injury was promptly dressed by Surgeon Harris, and immedi- ately resumed his place behind his men. He had been there but moment when a bullet passed completely through his body, entering the abdomen.
 I'm hit again, and hit for good. he cried, addressing his commanding officer; but give them h-l, general, give them h-l!"
 He whirled around like top and then felt his way back to the door, assisted by the surgeon. He knew that his wound was fatal, remarking that he had received a central injury. He died an hour after ward, being conscious until a little be- fore the end.
 Although the majors heart was in the fight, he was from the first opposed to moving troops against the Indians. being convinced that it would bring about dis turbances which might easily be settled in peaceful way. Coming up on the boat he told me that the idea of calling out troops to Subdue a score of Indians, whose chief offense was that of resist ing an officer, appeared highly ridiculous to him.

 As l reached the sidewalk I became un- conscious, but was aroused by MT. Cur tis, who was furiously endeavoring to tear the burning dress from my body. If it had not been for him, 1 believe I would have been burned to death.

Christmas out under the trees. The Chutes was also visited by thousands of pleasure-seekers. Emil Markeberg made another daring balloon ascension and parachute drop, and this attraction, to- gether with the fact that every child that passed through the gates yesterday was presented with a present, drew the largest crowd of the season. The tree will be re- plenished for to-day, and children who visit the grounds will have another chance at Santa Claus. The same enthu- siastic crowd visited Sutro's Baths to wit ness the aquatic sports. The results of the contests follow:

Mrs. Kelly, aged 50 years, living at 313 Twelfth street, was fatally burned last evening. The unfortunate woman was in the act of removing a lighted coal oil lamp from a table when it exploded, the burning oil setting fire to her dress.
 Unable to extinguish the flames the frenzied woman ran from the house, fran tically screaming for help. Edward Cur tis, a neighbor, rushed to her assistance and tore the burning garment from her body. Realizing that she was seriously burned Curtis telephoned to the Central Police Station for the patrol wagon. The injured woman was hurriedly driven to the Receiving Hospital and an examina- tion disclosed that her arms and legs were horribly burned. Drs. Rumwell and Hop per did what they could for her, and then had her removed to the female ward In explanation of the accident Mrs. Kelly said she was alone in the house at the time and had just -----.hed her Christmas dinner.

ture of the base of his skull, an injury which, in the opinion of the surgeons at the Park and Receiving Hospitals, may cause paralysis or death.
 Empey left his home yesterday after noon for q ride in the park. He was mounted on an eXcitable high strung ami nal that several times on the trip to the park showed strong desire to run away. On reaching the park the animal seemed to become quieter and Empey, anticipat- ing no further trouble, did not watch it as closely as on the trip out from the city. Finally, without a moments warn ing, the animal shied at some fancfed ob- ject and started on a mad race toward the Cliff. Empey remained in the sad dle for a considerable distance and en- deavored with all his might to control the naddened animal but without avail. Suddenly the animal made a turn from the road and Empey was thrown with terrible force to the ground. No one saw him fall, but half an hour after he was seen to pass the conservatory he was found by one of the mounted police un- conscious bleeding and covered with dirt in the middle of the road.
 The ambulance was summoned and the unconscious man was taken to the Emergency Hospital. where a cursory ex- animation of his hurts was made. It was found that he had suffered fracture of the base of the skull, so it was decided to lmneuldtely leiHose HI! to lie ncCeiNiiS Hospital that an operation might be per formed if found necessary. When the Receiving Hospital was reached Empey regained consciousness, but as to the cir cumstances surrounding the accident his mind was a blank. He could only re- member that he was riding, he said and had no recollection of having been thrown from his horse. Last evening the patient was removed to his home, and .late last night was resting easily, but the outcome of his injuries cannot be determined for several days.
 There was no music at the park yester-
