12 TO DO HONOR TO THE LADY REGENT. EAGERLY and anxiously sought for is the magic square of cardboard that will make the massive portals of the Hopkins Institute of Art swing back on their hinges and admit the favored pos sessors to join in the gathering that is sure to msrk an epoch in the history of the State University. Honor where honor is due seems to be the moving sentiment of those interested in the affair. The idea of honoring the first woman regent in California origin ated with the ladies of the California branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnse. Mrs. A. F. Morrison, president of the alumnse, was the first to broach the subject, and she at once received the unanimous co-operation of all her fellow members. Mrs, A. F, Morrison.

Precautions Are Being Taken to Pre vent an Outbreak in the Jail. Captain Clarxson, superintendent of the House of Correction, is very much worried over a discovery that was made within the walls of the institution over which he has charge yesterday. Ever since Joseph Theron, a desperate criminal, made his break for liberty sev eral weeks ago and was brought back at the muzzles of the guards' guns a close watch has been kept' on those who were believed to be interested in the attempted jail break, and more than usual vigilance has been exercised. .

'At the outset the affair was purely an educational one, but little by little it took on a social aspect, until now, judging by the invitational J list, education, art ana society are so closely and intimately in terwoven that it is difficult to tell where one begins and the other leaves oft. Fifteen hundred invitations have al ready been issued for the affair, but the demand has so far exceeded the supply that the magic cards have given out and yesterday an order was given for 2000 more. Everything that good taste can suggest and wealth command is to be utilized in the adornment of the art palace. The conservatories of the park and the well kept flower beds of the gardens in private mansions are to be robbed of their choicest flowers, and the cunning hand of Artist Matthews is to direct this arrange ment. Henry Heyman ia to take charge of the music. There is also to be a programme of ex ercises in which the University of Cali fornia Board of Regents, the Alumnse As sociation and the Alumni Association will be represented in brief addresses to be de livered by a representative member of each- Naturally the ladies who are going to attend have been anxiously consulting on the all-important subject of dress. Some are for evening dress, others again for re** ception gowns, but all are unanimous in declaring that hats even the diminutive bonnets— are to belaid aside. Mrs. Hearst will be assisted in receiving by Mrs. A. F. Morrison, president of the association, and the past presidents of the alumna}, Miss Sarah D. Hamlin, Miss Caroline Jackson, Miss Millicent Sbinn. Mrs. William Keith, Mrs. May Chenery, ducted with extra care to ascertain if possible whether the plot to escape had extended beyond those who were caught rushing to the walls with a ladder. Yesterday a startling discovery was made. Guard Strand, who was instructed to search the blacksmith-shop, was about to leave the building when he remem bered that he had failed to inspect a heap of junk in one corner. Returning he peered about the mass. and, in a dark re cess where they would be least likely to be discovered, found two jimmies, such -a** burglars use when breaking into premise, that they desire to rob, and which might well be used in opening the doors that separate the criminals of the House of Correction from liberty. .The two implement-- had been manu factured out of the iron used*in repairing wagons, and were evidently the work of an expert. Guard Strand at once reported his find to Captain Ciarkson and a watch was put on the men who were recently at work in the shop. The superintendent declined to say whom he suspected, but stated that until the mystery was cleared up several of his charges would be under a constant watch. * Sheriff Whelan was Inclined to make light of the matter, but he was evidently desirous of preventing anything happen ing in the jail, as he ordered Captain Uarkson to make a thorongh investigation MINOOK CREEK NOT RICH. North Fork Arrivals Say the Report* of Strikes Are False. Two people to bring late news from the Alaska gold fields are Dr. G. W. McKin non and Henry C. Deering, who arr. ved overland yesterday from Tacoma and regl istered at the Grand Hotel. Both hai from Eureka and were passengers for the Klondike on the steamer National City which tailed from this city on August 7. Deering was formerly the head accountant for the Excelsior Red wood Company, and in company with Dr. McKinnon took with him a steam launch and a large boat to make the ascent of the Yukon, z'y.y: j.\ St. Michael was reached August 21 and the voyage up the river begun August 28. An Indian pilot was hired to pilot the launch and its accompanying tow of the big boat rilled with provisions and sup plies through the shifty channels of the stream. All went well the first 350 miles of the long journey. At this point the Indian pilot lost his head during a storm with the result that the provision boat foundered and Deering: and McKinnon were obliged to return to St. Michael whence they arrived on the steamer North Fork at Tacoma two days ago. "It was a serious disaster to us when tbe provision boat foundered," said Dr. Mc- Kinnon. "as 1 am very sure we wou.d have reached Dawson this year. We had a splendid outfit and food enough to last us a year, but probably it is just as well that matters turned out as they did, for 1 believe that there will be famine in the Klondike diggings this year or else all signs will fail. "I do not believe the stories that have been printed about the rich strikes on the Minook. I talked wild one man who had mined two years on this creek and he told me that he did not make $5. At present there are about 1500 people In that dis trict, but most of them are there from necessity rather than from choice, fearing to proceed further up the Yukon with the prospects of a famine at Dawson. "There is plenty of provisions at this point, and the people, there are sure of plenty to eat, even if they do not find any gold, which is a much brighter condition of affairs thaa that which confronts the Daw.-on millionaires. All kinds of craft are coming down the river from Dawson laden with people who have deserted the country for the winter in order that they may be sure of provisions." . Married at **t. Mary's.

RULES CALL FOR A FLMSDED BOLT O'Bourke Talks About the Scientific Battle Between the Lads. J: DAL BAWKIMS WASTS A GO AT SMITH Solly Ready to Meet Any Man in His Class— White, Black or Yellow. The decision "Smith wins," rendered by George Green, the referee of the Smith- Dixon fight on Monday night, doss not d.p: ive Dixon of the feather-weight cham pionship of the world as many suppose. While the London prize-ring . rules, which provided that championship bat les should be fought with bare knuckles are obsolete, the Marquis of Queensberry rules stipulate that all championship bat tles shall be to a finish. It was for this reason that Corbett and Fitzsimrnons fought at Carson and where the contest was not limited to any given number of rounds. Had Smith knocked Dixon out in any one of the twenty rounds in Monday night's battle, or had Dixon's seconds thrown up the sponge, or had Dixon failed to respond to the call of time in any of the rounds, Smith would toda-r be the feather- champion of the" world. But as it was, Dixon at the end of the twentieth round was strong and belli er ent. consequently he did not surrender the championship by Green's decision, lhe decision was on points and nothing else. * In order that Smith may acquire the feather-weight championship of the world he must fight and lick Dixon to a finish, " v j£t lher it be in one round or 100 rounds. There was much talk last night in sporting resorts about a match between Solly Smith and Dal Hawkins. O'Rourke. Dixon's manager, said that he would like to see the men meet, and if they came together his money would be placed on Hawkins. "I am satisfied," said he, "that Hawkins can do Smith." Hawkins on being seen said: "I will fiuht Smith at catchwoights and wager from $1000 to $5000 on the side that I can lick him in twenty rounds. lam willing to fight him betoro the club offering the largest puree." It is customary, however, for the chal lenging party to put up a forfeit, thus showing that be means business. Smith, oa being seen, said; "I am will are: Mrs. Judge C. W. Slack, Dr. Ade laide Brown, Miss Florence Dean, Miss Florence Prag, Mrs. F. Slate, Mrs. Ber nard Moses. Miss Ethel Moore, Miss Katherine Spiers, Mis Mabel Symmes, Mrs. Warren Gregory, Miss Marion Ran some. Miss Mary Bowen. Miss Rachel Vrooman, Dr. Sarah Shuey, Miss Mar a rita May, Mi* Katherina Wilson, Miss Hefty and Miss Mary Olney. Among the invited guests are included ing to fight any man in ray class, be he white, black or yellow. I bar none. I am a feather-weight, fighting at 120 pounds. Hawkins is a light lightweight. If he will come to my weight I will cover his money and fight before any club offer ing a purse, whether it be big or small. Fighting is my business." . . v / The following were paid attendance and the receipts at Monday night's fight, as | furnished by O'Rourke: | 1164 in caller?, $2 seats '. 4 - , ,328 00 | 344 85 seats 1,7 bO 1085 *3 seats ....."'.. s!'J55 00 Total $7,303 00 The money was disbursed as follows: Clnb.. »'.!,65l 4 -' 55 ■""-n-*-**"- 3,572 BO -Ulxon - o7J 95 Total ; 97.30$ 00 Peter Jackson, the colored heavy-weight champion, was one of 'he many friends ot Dixon who thought that the colored lad was entitled to a draw at least. Pjter was leeling a little bit mellow yesterday when he expressed his opinion to several inter ested people who were . anxious to learn what th- great fighting general thought of the referee's decision. "This man Smith is a great little fighter, I must confess," said Jackson, "but I watched the contest from start to finish as close as any observer and I can assure yon that I failed to see where Smith scored any advantage over Dixon until the gong sounded the finish of the twentieth round. "Possibly Smith may have proven him self a shade stronger than Dixon in the last few rounds of the mill, but, from an unprejudiced point of view. I cannot say that ne scored any more points than his opponent. I think, a* draw would have given very general satisfaction." ''iyy. Tom O'Rourke,. the manager and confi dential adviser of deor*- 4 Dixon and bi stable companion, Joe Waicott, does not feel very pleasantly disposed toward the referee, George Green. ..*... O'Rourke said : "I mentioned Green among, several others when selecting a referee as being a man whom 1 thought would render a just and -honest decision, and when I consider what I had done in the premises 1 now feel- somewhat sur prised that Smith accepted Green as bis choice so readily. ■■■■■■ --."^fssfmntijjM^kS^k^S^ "If a finish fight cannot be arranged, I will back Dixon again in a twenty-round contest with Smith, provided, of course, we can agree -on r a referee. Green may be a good fighter in the ring, but as a ref eree he is as green on the points of the game as an emerald toothpick.'*. Speaking ot ; the '■* next - great contest, which wiil be decided at the Mechanics' Pavilion in the latter part of this month. O'Rourke said that lie would be a little more particular in V his :] selection *."■ of * -a referee. The a reement stipulates that Lavigne and J Waicott, or i their respective managers,' must meet on tbe day of 'the evening of the mill and; select a referee,' and in case they cannot agree upon '-any. one person the president ot the Occidental Club (Young Mitchell), under whose auspices the fighters : will contest, will have the power to name the man who will referee the match. v * * ' - • - -• . Dixon was around town yesterday feel ing very sore mentally and *. physically.

He had very little to say of the fight. He spent the greater part of the day at his sisters residence and when asked if he would fight Dixon again he said that fighting was his busi ness and that first come would be the first served. • ( .•..*.-..*, ■ i ,„_ Yo, J must member," said Smith, th at I am a featherweight and am ready to defend that title., Ido not propose to fight men who are outside ol my class, otherwise I would, perhaps, issue a chal lenge to Fi-zsimmon**," and Smith winked. r "If Dixon can arrange a fight to a finish I will bo, on hand in time to see him. Any old kind of a fight will be ac ceptable to me. I whipped him good and fair Monday night and there is no one who knows that better than himself.

YON KIPPUR USHERED IN The Hebrew Day of Atone ment Began at 6 O'clock Last Evening. To-Day Will Be Devoted to Fasting and Prayer by the Faithful Jews, Solemn Sunset Services Were Held at All the Synagogues Last Night. The Hebrew Day of Atonement was ushered in last evening with services tn all the temples of this city, which at 6 o'clocK were ' comfortably filled, and at half-past that hour were so crowded as to make ingress and egress a matter of diffi culty. yy,y As was to be expected on the eve of what is to the Israelite a day of days, the cantors of the various synagogues bad been at great pains in attention to the musical details of their services. These were well rendered ■ by competent choirs of mixed voices, accompanied on the organ. I The synagogue services will be resume d at an early hour this morning— in some cases, at daybreak and during the day sermons. touching the celebration will be delivered by the rabbis. All °** the synagogues are especially dec orated for the occasion and present a beautiful* appearance. The altars are draped* with white satin and silk altar cloths fringed with gold, while In front of the arks of the covenant, in which rest the manuscript } scrolls of the law, are hung spotless white curtains. .The platforms upon which the altars stand are all pro fusely, adorned with white cut flowers and at the services - the ■*■ cantors I and '•, rabbis wore white robes.

Service? opened at 6:30 with an organ prelud "Kol Nidre," followed by "Ma Tovu" by cantor and choir. The "Kol Nidre" was then rendered by cantor and choir, after which tne hymn of the occa sion, "I Will Pardon, Saith the Lord," was sung. The musical programme included the following numbers: "Ahavath 'Olam," "Mi Chomocho," tenor solo and chorus, "Ha"hkivenu," "For on Tbii Day Ye Shall Atone"; Cantor solo, "O God, Have Mercy," by Mendelssohn; "Ya-ale," tra ditional melody ; anthem, "Hear Me When I Call"; "Xl Onu," "Oshamnu" and "Yigdai" arranged from Mendelssohn. The title of Rabbi Nieto's discourse was "The Recollections of Our Child hood and Youth." In the course of bis remarks the rabbi said: "So great indeed did the an cient Hebrews esteem the potency of the awakening of the recollections of -arly life that the figure and face of the child was placed in positions made conspicuous by the sanctity of the vessels in close prox imity to them. Above the ark in which reposed the testimony of God's covenant with Israel rested the figures of children. This was to signify to the people that the innocence of children stood nearer the throne of God than the evidence of man fettered to loyalty by a succession of oaths and penalties. Above the lion and oxen that supported the biazen sea in Sol omon's Temple were superimposed the faces of children. This taught the people that even though purity were incased in firmness and upheld by strength and with dignity, yet is the simplicity of childhood nearer to the pure state we conceive to be God than all that man deems great or noble. The congregation Ohabai Shalome at tenaed the Bush-street Temple in large numbers, ana listened to an excellent lec ture by Rabbi I -adore .Mvers on -'The Writing on the Wall." The singing was conducted by Rev. D. Meyers;ein as can • tor, and he was assisted by Rev. J. Hirsh. The choir was composed of Mme. Eva Tenney, Mrs. Sarah Bienenfeld, Mrs. Olive Reed Cushman, Miss Maude Frank, Willis Bachelder, J. H. Lawrence and Charles L. Parent. On the altar with the rabbi and the can tor sat Joseph Schmidt, the president, and Philip Stem, the vice-president of the congregation. The two lectures by Rabbi Mvers to-day will be delivered at 11 and 2:15." The first will be from the subject '•Confession," and the last will consist of a specially pre pared memorial service for the dead. _ At the temple Beth-Menachim Streisand five boys— Masters Bloom, Rice, Cohn fe-d, Cohn andFranKiin— Messrs.
