JUMPED INTO

Suicide.

Two People Saw the Well-Dressed

Tardy in Giving an
Alarm.
BE WENT TO HIS DEATH NEAR
FISHERMAN'S WHARF.

AS the steamer San Rafael was making
her last trip from the Marin shore to this
city last evening an unknown man COM
mitted suicide when the vessel was oppo-
site Fisherman's wharf by jumping from
the rail into the waters of the bay. There
were only two witnesses to the scene, a
small boy, whose name the passengers
forgot to ascertain. and person who
gave his name as Boyle and told Captain
Mckenzie that he was employed in The
business office of the Examiner.
According to Captain Mckenzie. the
suicide might have been prevented had
it not been for Boyle's stupidity in fall
ing to give a prompt alarm.
The San Rafael was making the SWING
toward her slip when Boyle rushed into
the pilot house and said that man had
jumped overheard near Ffsherman's S
wharf. Boyle said that he was leaning
against a fiagpole in the stern and watch
ing a stranger, a tall, well-dressed man
with a smoothly shaven face on the oppo-
site side of the boat, who had been act
ing strangely. when the man suddenly
This ends ALL" plunged headforemost
into the water.
Captain Mckenzie stopped the boat and
returned TO the spot. but no sign or the
suicide could be discovered.
When the ferry boat returned to Sau-
salito on the O'Clock trip the passengers,
having heard OF the suicide, soon spread
the news around that city and San Ra-
fael and much speculation was indulged
in on the streets as 10 the Identity OF the
suicide 1t is believed that he was a resi-
dent OF Marin on account of the fact that
death was sought while the steamer was
crossing from Sausalito.
According TO Captain Mckenzie, who
related the facts TO a number OF persons
at San Rafael last night. If Boyle had
given a prompt alarm instead of losing
so much time in climbing 10 the pilot
house and relating his story the man
might have been saved. The facts are
corroborated by a small boy whose name
Captain Mckenzie failed to learn.

DIR. RAIDER EXPRESSED HIS
VIEWS ON THE GOLDEN RULE

Rev. William RAIDERS sermons on the
tragedies of Shakespeare are attracting
unusual interest and every Sunday even
ing the Third Congregational Church is
crowded. Last night seats were hard 70
obtain and the regular congregation gra-
ciously gave up its seats TO strangers. DIR.
RAIDER spoke on "The Merchant OF Venice
the Drama of the Golden Rule" In part
he said:
The Merchant OF Venice" is not.a trag-
edy bat catastrophe. IL is located in the
Rialto OF Venice, immortalized by Ruskin,
and associated with the dissipation OF Lord
Byron. 1t is composed OF two stories. that
OF the pound OF flesh and the three boxes.
The play centers in Jessica. who ran away
with a Christian and broke her fathers
heart: in Antonio. meek and gentle. and
Portia, who is new woman OF intellect
rather than feeling. fascinating eloquent
and audacious. Shylock is probably not
meant TO be a universal type OF Hebrew.
He represents Judaism without its sweet
ness. The Jew has been the victim OF con-
siderable criticism from Marlowe TO Mark
Twain. He was a fanatic holding to the
biblical law OF an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth. He hated Antonio. and his
speech is unans@erable from Shylocks
standpoint.
Both Antonio and Shylock indicate a la
mentable lack OF the spirit OF the golden
rule which unites the elements OF justice
and mercy Portia is the medating prin-
ciple In her speech Shakespeare shows
that the administration OF the universe is
not a basis OF Justice. but justice sea-
soned with mercy. The world is not ruled
in justice apart from mercy, and II II were
so ruled. what would become OF most OF us?
Mr. RAIDER warned his hearers to be care
full about the David Harum rendering OF the
golden rule: tDo unto the other fellow as
he would do unto you. but do II first.

SHE WAS POISONED.
Lizzie Kiesel of Fruitvale in Convul-

Lizzie Kiesel. young woman. who
lives on the Redwood road, Fruitvale, left
this city at midnight on the last boat
across the bay She was taken with con-
vulsions before the steamer reached Goat
Island and was in an unconscious condi-
ton when the mole was reached.
Ii was suspected that she had taken
poison. but nothing could be got from her
but her name and the fact that she lived
in Fruitvale. She was put aboard the
cars to be sent 10 the Oakland Receiving
Hospital.
Several times before the train reached
Broadway, about 1:20 o'clock this morn
ing, she was CONFUSED with agony. At
the hospital the doctors said she was suf-
fering from poison Of some sort. which
they could not then determine. The pa
tient said she had been put on the boat
at San Francisco by a man named Bell.
She will probably recover.
The woman stated that she had been IN

rier of San Francisco. but would give no
further information.

The Fire Department worked with re-

The wholesale meat department of
Hammond Brod. which occupied the

large quantity of beef was spoiled by
smoke and water.
A family named Smith. who oc-
