Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


The Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills OF the
First Unitarian Church of Oakland has
evolved a plan for a series of Sunday
evening sermons. TO begin some time dur
ing the coming month, the idea OF which
is both unique and extremely interesting.
He proposes 10 have his congregation ad-
dressed by three prominent divines rep
resentng three religious sects, the He
brew, the Roman Catholic and the ortho-
dox Protestant, and TO furnish the fourth
sermon himself. upon Unitarianism.
The details CT the plan have not vet
been completed. for the speaker to repre-
sent orthodox Protestants has not yet
been selected
Rabbi Voorsanger Of San Francisco has
agreed 10 deliver one address upon Juda-
ism and it's relation TO mankind. Rev.
Father Wyman of San Francisco will de-
liver the address upon Roman Catholi-
cism. and will tell a Unitarian audience
about his faith. There will then come an
address by some Protestant not yet Sc
lected. and the series will be closed by
the Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills. who will
tell about his own denomination.

CAME IN HUNGER-CRAZY
Narrow Escape From Death OF the
FOIger Party In Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, July 3.-News has been
received that the members of the Folger
party, supposed to have persisted in the
wiids OF interior Alaska, are still alive.
Almost crazed by hunger and hardships
they dragged themselves into Arctic City,
where they were tenderly cared for By
the Winthrop Mining people and restored
to health. In the oFlger party were John
Folger, Jack Mallon, Herman jacob,
Jack Walsh and gsadore Vidal, all of San
Francisco, and Fred Moore Of Boston.
They started on September IS last from
Rampant City for the Koyukuk river. ex-
pecting to make a flying trip. When a
few days out they found that their outfit
vas entirely inadequate, and three of the
party returned to Rampant The others
pushed over the mountains OF snow and
ice. In ten days they were entirely lost
and for two weeks wandered around at
random, with but little food other than
that furnished by Morse's st. Bernard
dogs. Finally they succeeded in locating
their position by finding articles once
owned by Folger. in a lonely hut. Then
they pushed on to Arctic City.

RAINS EVERY DAY IN TEXAS
Reports or Death and Disaster Con-
tInue to Come Eu.

Houston. Tex, July 3.-More complete
reports from different points in the food
district have been received tonight and
all are substantially the same-that an
immense amount OF damage has been
aone, and at this time an accurate esti-
mate is impossible. Reports. from Bryan
say that the wreck in that vicinity is
unparalleled. More people have been
added to the death LIST and the number
is now placed at forty-five. Both the
Brazos and the Colorado rivers are re-
ceding slowly and backwater is running
off very fast. Railroad traffic will be re-
sumed in two days.
Austin, Texas, July 3.-For seven days
Texas, throughout it's central and west
ern portions, has been visited by daily
rainidIlS. The rain continued today, and
reports from as far south as Neuces
county report that everything IS being
flooded afresh by the continued rainfall.
That section of the state, however, will
suffer nearly as much loss as the BrazOs
bottoms, for the reason that the water
can spread out over the low country
much more rapidly than in the BRACES
country and Is not so generally cultivated
eports from all along the Brazos bottom
show that the waters are still ivery high
and the fact that every section Of the
state continues to be visited by rainfals
makes the situation look extremely
gloomy. The reports of the total damage
to county. railroad and personal property
as well as to Grips continues to come in
and tonight it is figured out that it will
amount to $.oOo,OOO. The railroads of the
state are making strenuous efforts TO re-
pair their washed-out tracks. but are
making little Roadway, due TO the fact that
the waters continue on such a rampage
that work is seriously interfered with. It
is generally estimated that the death list
