pony at the Busb-Street TheQter.

The Thalia German-Hebrew Opera Company will produce the operetta Alexander, Crown Prince of Jerusa- lem,'' at the Bush-street Theater to- night and Sunday night. The operetta is based on a love story supposed to have happened during the time of King Hurdus. Alexander. the Crown Prince of Jerusalem, falls in love with Naomi, a peasant girl. and after several meet ings they pledge their troth. Alexan- der gives his betrothed a ring which she is to surrender to him three months from the time he would become King. Aristablus, an cider brother of Alex ander, dies suddenly, and Alexander hastens to Jerusalem to assume the throne. His mother, learning of his love for Noami, has the ring stolen from her while she is on her way to the palace to claim Alexander for her hus- band. When they meet, Alexander be- comes angry when Noami Is unable to produce or account for the loss of the ring, and she faints. Grief over the loss of her betrothed nearly causes her death. Some time later, Alexander learns that Noami is the child of his elder brother and that she had been stolen while an infant and adopted by the peasant. After the usual explana- tions, Alexander marries his sweet heart

 inent Member.

Charles s. DeSky, owner of the Cy- clomere track at Honolulu, will return to the islands on the steamer Moana, leaving tomorrow night. Another big three weeks bicycle meet will be in augurated there, commencing Janu- ary 26, and MT. Desky invites any riders who think they are fast enough and want to make some money to go down. The prizes are good, and there will be plenty of racing. MT. Desky has invested s1O,OO0 in the proposition, but says the game has drawn im- mense crowds and he is getting 1t back fast. He Is much pleased with the out look. He Is stopping at the Occidental and would be glad to met any Call fornia riders who would like to take a pilgrimage to the islands this spring.
 "We treat the boys we'll down there,'' he said to The Call man. ''Why, of the five who went down with me three months ago only two have come back. The otherS-Conkling Whitman and Jones-like the country so we'll and are making so much money they are go- ing to stay there."
 This is all quite true. The CaIifor- nianS who went there say that MT Desky did even more than promised for them, which was good deal. They are enthusiastic about the track, num- Der and value of prizes and everything pertaining to the racing game.
 Coast cycling circles will soon lose a shining star, and the Olympic Club Wheelmen a popular and prominent member. George H. Stratton Is to leave here on the 17th inst. for Chica- go, and will make his home there, his business interests hereafter lying in that metropolis. The Olympics will miss him a great deal, and the sport itself is likely to suffer for want of his guiding hand, always so prominent in the honest direction of its interests. If he takes up with his favorite pastime in the windy city Chicago cycling ranks will gain valuable man.
 The Cycle Board of Trade will hold its first annual banquet and .moker tomorrow evening at 112 Pine street, at o'clock. The board has a plethoric treasury, and this means was taken of partially disbursing it and at the same time bringing the members together in social intercourse.
 The Bay City Wheelmen's ball team will cross bats with the nine of the Olympic Cyclers in a practice game next Sundey, at 12 o'clock, at the Velo- drome.

AN ITHLiHN MISSION.
Alp Episcopal Clergyman to be Secured to Work in the Lotin
 Quarter

One of the most important projects yet undertaken by the Episcopal church since the coming of Bishop Nichols to the diocese of California is about to be inaugurated at St. Peters Church, located at the corner of Stock ton and Hilbert streets, of which Rev. M' D. Wilson is rector. The territory surrounding the parish is being gradu- ally monopolized by the Italians, of whom there are, it is estimated. from lJ,O00 to 2o,000 who are exceptionally thrifty and enterprising. While much the larger proportion of these people attends the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, there are many who would at tend Protestant services, provided they were held in their own language. A canvass among the Italians encourages the attempt that is to be made to pro- cure from the East a priest of the IRiscopal church who is a native of 1laIy ana who has been successful in eesCdpiishlng strong churches of his na- liohanty in New York and Philadel- .pHla' St. Peters is to be the focus of lhe attempt, and funds are now being SOIiclled to pay the expenses of an Gplsc4pal priest for year, so as to elre the attempt fair trial.

WILL PREACH THE GOSPEL
doined q Priest of the Coth- ollie Church.

Thomas O'Connell, a recent grad uate of the Catholic Seminary at Baltimore, will be ordained in the Ro- man Catholic priesthood on Friday morning, January 14, by the Rev. Archbishop Riordan. The services of ordination will commence at o'clock in the morning and will be partici- pated in by representatives from near ly all the churches throughout the city.
 The young priest will say his first mass at St. Mary's Church, on the corner of California and Dupont streets.
 Long before he graduated from the college at Baltimore young O'Connell said that if he ever lived to be or dained priest of the Catholic church his wish was to say his first mass at the old church. where many happy recollections of his younger days were associated, and from where he had re- ceived the first inspiration to his call ing.
 Father Wyman has consented to gratify this wish and the young priest will celebrate mass at the Paul. ist Church for the first time imme- diately after the ordination -cere- monies are over at the cathedral.

OPPOSED TO CIVIL SERVICE
CoDtineDtdl League Passes Resolu- tions Denouncing Life Tenure
 of Office.

Continental League at its meeting Wednesday night added to its already established record its dislike to life tenure of public office holding.
 A resolution was passed denouncing the system as being un-American and monarchical to the utmost degree. The course of Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio was commended and the moral support of the members of the league extended to him for the stand he has taken in the House on the abolition of the law which will. if permitted to remain on the statute books, destroy the American love of country and its form of government.
 The committee on Washington birthday recommended that, in addi- tion to the usual military parade on such an occasion, literary exercises be held in some hall during the even ing. The recommendation was adopted.
