A New Light.

A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily eX-
planned, was described at a recent meet
ing of the scientists. Discs of loaf su-
gar were mounted on lathe and rap
idly rotated while a hammer played
lightly against them. An almost con-
tinuous radiation of light was thus pro-
duced from the sugar. 1t was shown
that the light did not rise from heating
of the sugar, and it is believed to be
caused by some change taking place in
the sugar crystals. The act OF crystalli-
zation is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes of light. The prac-
tical bearing of these experiments is on
the question of thepossibility of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
uptried.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

GRAND JURY INDICTS
BISHOP FOR ARSON

OAKLAND, Nov. 2.-The Grand Jur :
made a partial report to-day before
Superior Judge Hall and presented an
Golden Gate with arson.
The inquisitors had spent several days
in an investigation of the affair rom
the testimony of Policeman Layton, Fire
Chief Ball and others, who appeared be-
fore the grand jurors, it was shown that
shortly after 3 o clock on the morning of
October 26 Bishops house on Forty-nipth
street, near Park, at Golden Gate, was
found to be on fire. After the firemen
they discovered many evidences of in
cendarism; coal oil had been poured over
the floors of the two-story structure, and
on the walls; holes had been bored
through the ceiling of a room and oil
poured in: and the empty coal oil cans
were also found. Bishop and his son
were in rooms on the second floor, and
while the son apparently knew nothing
of the affair the father claimed that the
work was that of robbers. He was ar
rested at the time, but no direct charge
was filed.
The jury had about concluded its in
quiry into the matter to-day when Bishop
arrived at the courthouse and asked an
audience. He was cheerfully acCommo-
dated and remained behind the closed
doors perhaps fifteen minutes. Evidently
he made a poor impression, for ten
minutes later the Grand Jury flied into
Judge Halls courtroom to present the
indictment.
Bishops bail was fixed at $4,000 and he
was turned over to the custody Of the
of age, and for some time was employed
by e. G. Buswell, dealer in paints and
oils, as q driver. His son is connected
with an insurance company.

DEWEY'S WEDDING
WILL BE VERY SIMPLE
Ceremony Will Probably Be Per-
formed by Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Keane.

WASHINGTON, Nov g - Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen have de-
cided to have their marriage take place IN
fore Thanksgiving Day, although much
will depend upon the completion of the
bridal trousseau before the date is def
nitely determined upon. Both Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. Hazen are opposed to
anything verging upon display and have
informed their friends that they will be
married in the same quiet, informal man
ner as were Rear Admiral and Mrs. Lud-
low several years since
Mrs. Ludlow is Mrs. Hazen's sister.
The date of their marriage was given out
only the night before and the ceremony
was performed in the morning. There
were no extra flowers, music or anything
of the sort, and only the immediate fam
lily witnessed the ceremony. This is ex-
actly to the liking of Admiral Dewey and
Mrs Hazen and they have decided to fol-
low the same simple ceremonial to the
letter. The ceremony will be performed in
the Empire drawing room of the mansion
of Mrs. Washington Mclean, and Cardt-
nal Gibbons, assisted by Archbishop
Keane, under whose instructions Mrs.
Hazen became a Roman Catholic, will of
ficiate. If Cardinal Gibbons cannot be
present. it is said the Archbishop will tie
the nuptial knot
Mrs Hazen and her sister, Mrs Lud-
low, left for New York yesterday after
noon, where they will remain until Mon
day. Their errand is to select all the i'm

ers, huge punches of American beauty or

from the Enquirer and from the Blind
Home, while a large number of prominent
citizens filled the church
Rev. c. r. Brown, who conducted the
services, paid a fitting tribute to the rec
ord of the deceased and in his remarks
said: 1.-The modesty and the simple life of
our departed brother would not allow of
my applying in any extended eulogy to
him these considerations. 1t therefore
only remains to say that he lived a use
full life, along with many other of these
pioneers, in upbuilding the community
and laying the foundations of health
ful civic life. His gentleness of nature
was shown by his insisting upon having

Reported Sale of the Stanford South
ern Pacific Stock a Surprise.


As was the case when the sale or the
Crocker interests in the Southern Paclhc
Company was first reported, the utmost
secrecy is maintained regarding the SAFE
of the Stanford interests which was re-
ported yesterday in the dispatches from
New York. Mrs Stanford is in New oIN
with her attorney. Mr.. Huntington Is GUY "
of town, and Charles Lathrop, DrolHet ~ ~
Mrs Stanford, says he knows aDSoluIeI!
nothing about the reported sale save tndt
which he has seen in the newspapers
The report may be true, and II II is
Mrs. Stanford should have recedNeu soliAe Ies
thing like Sll 900 600 for her 300, 900 shares OF
STOCK in the Southern Pacific Company,
besides the money she would get from tIle
sale Of her interests in the racine iii
provement Company. -. ,,-s
1t was generally believed that MIS-.
Stanford had given her railroad stock 10
the Leland Stanford Jr. University Some
time ago. In fact, the statement was
made to that effect and accepted as u ue u
by every one If that was so, 1t Is raIheT
hard to conceive how she could have SOLD
that which she no longer possessed;
The sale of the Stanford stock will make
but little difference in the policy OF tne
road. The Stanford and Crocker lntereSt Is
combined We're strong enough to give tne
shrewd old Gentleman at the head or the
corporation all he could do TO maintain
his sway But with the Crocker shares
not only out of the way but in the hands
of the enemy, Mrs. Stanford was prac-
ttcally powerless TO make her influence
felt in the management Of the company
in which she had so much capital IN
vested
If the stock has been purchased, it is
almost a certainty that c. 2. Huntington
is the man who has bought it; and this.
together with the CrOcker interests, which
are now his, and his own original hold
ings. makes him TO all intents and pur-
poses the sole owner of the largest rail-
way system In the world.

NEW SYMPHONY
CLUB RESUMES
WORK At LAST
Mrs. Phebe Hearst the
PatrOneSS.
HOLMES CHOSEN LEADER
PROF. WILLIAM CAREY JONES
IS PRESIDENT.

A few weeks ago The Call made the
announcement that there was trouble in
the Symphony Society and that the mem
bers were highly indignant because of re
carelessnoss of the officers in m king ar
rangements for new series of concerts.
The article further stated that in case
nothing is done within a reasonable time,
preparations will be made to organize a
separate body, whose purpose it shall be
to commence a movement to reorganiZe
the symphony concerts The meeting has
finally been held. and the following COM
mttee has taken charge of affairs. 1t
must be understood that this comm tee
is in no way connected with the old
Symphony Society, but will direct matters
according to its own ideas.
The committee consists of Professor
William Carey Jones of the University
of California, chairman; H. B. Pasmore,
Robert Tolmie, J. n. Odell, w. A. Sabin,
son, j. n. Goewey, James Tucker, c. o.
Richardson and ]. ]. Price. Mrs. Phebe
Hearst, in accordance with her usual
desire to aid beneficial movements, las
purpose of commencing the concerts.
And her main desire in acting thus
generously was to enable the new society
to defray expenses so that the musicians
may receive their price of $S per concert,
which she claims is by right due them.
The conductor will be Henry Holmes, a
musician VINO mas naQ a great uedl Ol eA-
perience in this kind of work, and who
possesses exceedingly fattering test,
monials from the foremost musical
authorities. He was until recently q
member Of the Royal Conservatory OF
Music in London, and has a splendid
record in Europe. He recently organized
a chamber music quartet in his city
which will begin concerts next Tuesday
at Century Club Hall.
Mrs. Hearst hopes that her donation
will create an interest among he sub
scribers TO the old symphony concerts
and spur them on to encourage a move,
ment which is so essential to musical
progress in San Francisco. The drst
symphony concert will take place at the
Grand Opera-house on Thursday. Decem-
Der T. at 2:30 o'clock p. m. Professor
Jones, who was very prominently men,
toned for president for the University OF
California short time ago, is man of
great executive ability, and will no doubt
prove a splendid presiding officer. The
committee put itself on record as an able
body of people by arranging scale OF
prices which will enable every student, be
he every so deficient of means, to attend
them. The seating capacity of the opera
house permits a 25-cent admission fee,
and for this purpose the family circle or
balcony has been selected. The other
prices will range as usual.
