Chang A. Holt, a Chinaman,
Is Made a Physician
by Examiners.

Chang A. Holt Of SO4 Stockton street
enjoys the distinction Of being the first
Chinaman admitted to practice by the
Board OF Medical Examiners of Cali
fornia He received his official an
nouncement Saturday and is now full
fedged physician and surgeon. He is
proud of his achievement and his coun-
trymen eXult with him over his sue
cess.
Chang is not a native son, although
he has lived under the Amarican flag
since the Hawaiian Islands were ad-
mitted to the Union. He was born in
the city of Canton China, twenty-siX
years ago. His parents were poor and
il seemed in his early boyhood as if
his fate were to be that of the yellow
hOrdes among which he lived. But
beneath his blue blouse were desires
and ambitious and a spirit and deter
mination that made him different from
his fellows.
At the age Of 13 he ran away from
home to Hongkong in search of a bet
I ter life than that he had known as
goatherd and laborer in the rice
swamps of the distant Chinese prov
ince. In the great English stronghold
he was told of a beautiful land beyond
the seas where he could earn plenty
of gold and be answerable to no grasp
ing mandarin
He decided to seek out these elysian
fields of which he heard and slowed
away on a vessel bound for the United
States. When the boat reached Homo
lulu he was put ashore. He found
/ employment at once and, still cherish
/ ing lofty ambitions in his young heart,
4 he saved every cent he could possibly
spare from the cost of existing. In a
year or two he set up a store on the
island of Hilo He was very young,
but he prospered in business never
theless and his little establishment
grew to be big one.
At the age of Il he sold out his busi-
! ness, which was one of the largest
! concerns of it's kind on the Hawaiian
Islands. With much money in his
/ pocket, the slant-eyed boy then sailed
! to America. He commenced upon his
studies Immediately and applied him
self as busily as ever to the fulfillment
of his purpose.
( After he had learned to read and
! write English he determined to be a
/ doctor He was admitted TO the Col
/ lege Of Physicians and Surgeons and
always held high rank in his class.
/ He was graduated with honors last
! spring and recently appeared before
the Board of Medical Examiners for
the final test, which he passed easily.
He does not intend to practice in the
United States, and after a trip through
/ the country he will return to the city
: of his birth He has been Christian
! lied and wears no queue. He states
{ that he means to uplift his country
men as far as rests in his power. He
will cure their bodies of physical ills,
teach them the advantages of civiliza-
tion and instruct them spiritually.

Grand Opera House.

In attempting to portray the role of
Baron de Chevrial in "A Partisan Ro-
nance" at the Grand last night, James
Neill failed TO give a convincing delin-
cation of that difficult character. His
best work was in the death scene, but
its effect was marred somewhat by the
behavior of the Sunday night audi
ence. Edythe Chapman was very
winning as the danseuse and resisted
all temptation to overdo the part. Miss
Gilman bravely attempted Marcelle,
but the part needed a more expert
enced woman. Her work compared
favorably with that of the rest of the
cast. John w. Burton looked and
acted the doctor and Donald Bowles
made the most of the short part of
Juliani. Sheldon Lewis, whose cuffs
had a tendency to interfere with his
acting, was very STACEY" The rest
of the cast had very little to do, for

CAPTAIN ROWAN
WEDS HIS LOVE
VERY QUIETLY

"The man who bore the message to
Garcia yesterday bore his love to the
altar. As the shadows were lengthen-
ing into the evening, Captain A. F.
Rowan and Mrs. Josephine Morris de
Greayer wandered into the little gray
church of the Swedenborgians on Lyon
street and there in the cleaning were
made man and wife.
The words that Joined the soldier and
the lady were spoken by the Rev Mr.
Worcester, while the birds in the trees
without warbled the wedding march.
There was no retinue, no gaping
crowd-not even a chattering friend
TO break in upon their happiness. The
service over. the happy pair withdrew
from the little gray church and disap-
peared in the shadows. Only the
''cabby" knows where they went and
he has the dark secret hidden within
his breast.
But of one thing the friends of the
pair are sure-they must soon come
out into the open, for the gallant cap
tain is due at Camp Atascadero for
maneuvers. And then may the sweet
stupidities of congratulation be said.

ZIONISTS HONOR NAME
OF DIR. THEODOR HERZL
Memorial Service for the Modern jew
ish Leader Held in B'nai
Birth Hall.

A solemn memorial service in honor
of the late DIR. Theodor Herzl, the
founder of modern Zionism, who died
in Vienna on July 3, was held last
evening by the Zionists Society of this
city in Bnai Birth Hall.
The meeting, of which DR.. Isidor
Meyers, the president of the society,
acted is chairman, was opened by
Canton Samuelson, who chanted the
ninetieth psalm. This was followed
by an address in German by NJ. A.
Sommers. The Rev. Benjamin Lied
erman, cantor of New York, who
is to be associated with Rabbi Meyers
in the high Jewish festival at Frank
lin Hall, conducted the ritualistic
portion of the services, opening with
the chant, 20 Lord What Is MANI"
DR.. Meyers in his eulogy, What
Herzl did for Zionism," spoke of the
great sorrow that has overwhelmed
all Israel in the death of the man
who united the scattered Jewish race
| once more in the unity of old. He
said in part
Theodor Herzl is cedar Of Lebanon fallen.
At A years Of age he had done what no other
man in modern times accomplished for Israel
He did not create Zionism, but he drew it to-
gether, moved it into activity and made the
salvation of race possible. The jew wander
ing over the earth, ever remembering the past
OF his people, has always prayed for a return
/ of that past. but 1t was left for Herzl TO mold
Zionism into practical form. Now the jew
will have home in a land halowed by the
blood of his fathers and he will be a
Pariah driven here and there by the police Of
all nations.
After the chanting of the Prayer
for the Dead" by Cantor Liederman.
a memoir on Herzl was read by DIR.
M. S. Levy. He said among other
things:
The villainous revelations in the Dreyfus
! case and the sufferings of the Jews in Russia
/ awakened the great purpose of HerzIs life.
He the misery of his brethren. their
4 gloomy political and economic slavery, and
/ conceived the plan for their liberation To
! him the only hope for the race was the reoccu-
1 patton of Palestine. The idea taken up
/ with enthusiasm and he became famous the
| leader of a wonderful movement Of modern
! times. Whatever may come of Zionism in
other hands the changes ii has already
wrought in the Jewish consciousness, the sense
of manliness it has inspired in the despised
Jews will not be easily effaced.

Points for Parents.

Study the child and discover where his
greatest interest lies. says Mrs Theodore W
Birney, Honorary President of the National
Congress of Mothers, discussing 1.-The Choice
of Occupation" in the September Delineator
Mrs Birney very warmly advocates a kind Of
natural selection, to be discovered by the par
ent in watching what toys the child prefers
to play with-paints carpenters tools, etc. In
the same number Lille Hamilton French gives
a suggestive warning to parents to prevent
them destroying the spontaneity and self-conf-
dence which means much TO their children :
future happiness and success; and Priscilla
Wakefield has interesting little comparative
study of the training of girls now and in the
days of our grandmothers.
