BUDDHIST CHIEF GOES
OVER WALLS OF PEKING
His Holiness Refuses to Pass
Through Gates

The dalai lama is now at Peking,
and the chief of the Buddhists has not
reached the celestial capital without
trouble. The gates were obstacles that
had to be surmounted, literally. His
sanity character and office would not
permit of any object being interposed
between him and heaven. The Chinese
intellect was quite equal to the occa-
sion. An artist painted a canvas sky,
and it was fixed to the roof of the gate.
but the dalai lama would be no party
to this pious fraud, such a subterfuge
was unworthy of his high Office At
last the difficulty was overcome by
erecting an inclined plane on each side
of the gate, and, by this means, his
holiness passed above the walls of the
city, with no object between him and
heaven.

JEWISH CHARITIES
Meeting SUCCESS
Annual Report of Society Shows
Federation Raised $4,000
in Funds
Five Trustees Are Selected for
the Orphan Asylum and
Home Society

The annual meeting of the members
of the Pacific Hebrew orphan asylum
and home society was held yesterday
at the orphanage, Hayes and Devisa-
dero streets, when reports by the pres
ident and secretary were read con-
corning the progress of the institution
during the last year. and an election of
trustees held.
Five trustees were elected. These
were: David j. Guggenhime, Moses
Heller, s. w Levy, NJ c. Sloss and Lu-
cius L. Solomons. Reports were also
received from other officials of the or
phanage indicating a successful ad-
ministration for the year.
President NJ C. Sloss in his report
suggested that the institution might
be moved into country location. He
pointed out that the buildings of the
orphanage and the home were con-
structed years ago and are rapidly fall
ing into condition that will make it
advisable to seek new quarters. In
that case the present site, he said.
could be disposed of and the money
added to property and building fund
with which new and more spacious
quarters could be erected in the coun-
try.
The expenditures for the last year
were far greater than those of any
previous year, due to the fact that the
structures in which the orphanage is
located were in bad state of re-
pair. The total expenditures for the
year amounted to $75.324. or about
$4,000 in excess of the expenditures
for the fiscal year ending 1909.
Against the heavy expenses of the
institution for the last year was an
income in the shape of receipts from
all sources of S74,762. This left de-
ficit of S562.
The report told of the success with
which the movement to establish the
federation of Jewish charities was
meeting. During the last year $40, 600
was collected in this way and the
federation is not completely organized.
Many improvements We're instituted
at the orphanage and home buildings.
The structures were completely reno
waited, new plumbing installed. new
heating apparatus, a change of fur
mace arrangements and the establish
ing and washing facilities were the
and were installed in the basement at
a cost of $500.
President SlosS made special men
ton of the donation of 500 volumes to
the library and reading room by Mrs
Bella Schwabacher in honor of, her
mother, Sarah Blum, and of dona
tion of $4,000 from the congrega ton
