MARRIAGE RITUAL IN EIGHT WORDS A Bridegroom Attracted From San Jose by a Little Story. Pastor Davis Marries Mr. Rounds to Miss Ida Cooper and Makes a Record. By Authority I Pronounce Ycu Man end Wife," and the Ceremony Was Over. Oakland Office Francisco Call.) 908 Broadway, Nov.

21. To an Oakland pastor belongs the credit of performing the marriage ceremony on record. The minister who celebrated the interesting event is Rev. Edward Davis ot the Central Christian Church. A few tuontns ago an account of a wedding was published that took place in this city and was celebrated by Pastor Davis.

It was that of a young lieutenant ot the Salvation Army, who fell in love with a but couid not marry because she was not a member of the army. Love triumphed over religious scruples, and Factor Davis was called in to complete the union. Instead of performing the customary act of kiasing the bride Mr. Davis, who would have made an equal success on the stage as in the pulpit, lantly stooped and imprinted a passionate kiss on the young lady's recently uecoraied iincer. Mr.

Davis dispensed with all formality aud maae the service as short as possible. The brevity and gallantry of the cere- mony appealed verju-strongly to Frank A. Rounds of ban Jose, and he at once de- cided that a pastor so practical should figure at his wedding. Mr. Rounds is the popular drug clerk at the Almshouse of Santa Clara County, and he recently came to Oakland and called on Pastor Davis.

"What is the shortest murriage ceremony you can perform?" asked Mr. Rounds. Tiie pastor tigureJ a little wr.h tinker- and replied. "Eight words, sir." I will be here this afternoon prepared to meet you," replied Mr. Rounds.

At tne appointed lime, Mr. Rounds arrued with the necessary license, escorted Mus Ida J. Cooper of San Francisco to the pastor's residence. The witnesses were called in. the bride and groom clasped hands even without the young lady taking off her glove.

Striking an apostolic attitude, with which those who attend Mr. Davis' church are well acquainted, the pa3tor took their united hands in his own, and in clear, forceful tones, said. "By authority I pronounce. you man and wife." The bride looked surprised, the jrroom looked pleased, and the pastor smiled at having 'so easily earned a fee which was given him with co much appreciation of the service rendered. There were only two witnesses to the ceremony, and aIJ agreed that the little should be kept a most profound secret.

But, nevertheless, the little Btorv is be.ng frequently told and retold. BLUE AND GOLD, Manager Mott Issues a Circular-Letter to His Classmen May Not Issue. BERKELEY, Nov. Tbe junior class at the State University may not publish a and Gold next spring. Unless Manager Mott sees the money ing to pay for tne book he will refuse to unkertake its publication.

This is essentially the ultimatum which he sent forth to-day to the members of the class of '93. The present dire financial strait in which the senior class has found itself in consequence of its Blue and Gold, and the prospects of the faculty not permitting them to graduate until they have liquidated their debt, which is well up in the hundreds, has doubtless been the immediate cause of Manager Mott's curt letter to his classmen. For the past three or four years it has MISS TINCKER'S RETURN Will Appear in Oakland ag a Leading Actress in "Humanity," OAKLAND, Nov. Pretty little Pearl Tincker is back in Oakland. Four years ago Miss Tincker was a leading member of the First Congregational Church and one of the most active young people in the Christian Endeavor Society.

She was a hard-working girl, and by means of typewriting and other employments she succeeded in supporting her mother. While doing so she studied elocution and Delsarte, and for a time was in great demand at socials and private parties. Other means of employment iailing Miss Tinckerdeciiied togoon the stage and made her first appearance in tlie chorus of the "Black Crook" at the Macdonough. Afterward she was one of the lesser stars at ttie People's Theater, and some comment was made upon the fact that while at this MISS PEARL TINCKER, Who Left the Christian Endeavor Society to Go on the Stage and Support Her Mother, been with great difficulty that the Blue and Gold assessments, which have ranged from $350 to $5 on each. member, have been collected, and from the present state of affairs in which the seniors are merged it seems that only about half the clans paid their A very great burden has therefore been cast upon the business and because of the deficit they have been accused 'of mismanagement and incapacity.

To avoid beine placed in any such position, and to prepare himself lor a possible contingency, Manager Mott bus sent out the following circular letter to each member of the class of '98: Berkeley, Nov. 21. Owing to the financial condition of the class which just precedes, and the disfavor which it has cast upon college credit in the conduct of its Blue and Gold, we find it expedient and necessary before proceeding farther with '9B Blue and Gold to have ton is on hand in order to meet running expenses. The only source from which this can come is the class assessment. We -have placed the assessment very low in order to reach every member or the class, and "for that reason every individual member, not a few, must pay ii we are to Issue a book.

There has been a marked tendency in past years for classes to elect an editor "and a manager, and to consider tneir own work then done. We do not look at it in that light. do not feel justified in incurring the expenses which attend the publication of a Blue and Gold unless we know that it is the wish of a large majority of the class, and that the book will receive their united support. Me therefore address you to know wuether you will support the book. We inclose subscription blank and await your reply.

Your silence-we shall take to signify a vote against publishing the Blue and Gold by the class of '98, and if a large number of such votes be received we shall decline to proceed furtner with the book. Pending your decision we have stopped all expenses in ooanectioo with the book. All responses must be received by December 1. Leslie C. Mott, Manager Blue and Gold.

Should matters regarding the assessment be satisfactorily settled, Manager Mott will be coiuroiited with still another problem. A short tune ago the college Y. M. Ii A. passed resolutions disapproving Hie practice of publishing the advertisements of in the Blue and Gold.

Thougn ihe resolutions have not yet been officially recognized by the class, they will probably be brought up very soon, when action either for or against them will be taken. Snould the class decide that no sucu ads are to be published, a large slice of the usual income to the publication will be cut off, and the 1 manager will be required to get other ads 1 elsewhere.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1596. SAW THE MYSTIC FLYING LIGHT Oaklanders Who Believe an Airship Hovered Over Them. Say That They Saw a Dark Body Above the It Was Headed for San Francisco and Seemed About to Come to Earth. OAKtAND Office San Francisco Call 908 Broadway, Nov.

21. 'f Some one must be operating an airship in this portion of the State. Twice within the past six weeks it has been seen by reliable residents of Oakland, and on each occasion it has presented the same appearance. Six weeks aeo a young lady was riding a wheel on Telegraph avenue, when she saw a strange-looKing object in the sky. It The Mysterious Flying; Light That Hovered Over St.

Mary's College, Oakland, and Then Started for San Francisco. It Is Exactly Like That Described by Sacramentans, and Similar to the Cut Published a Few Days Ago in "The Call" From a Description Furnished by One "Who Saw It. carried a powerful headlight, sufficiently strong to send out long bright rays into the darkness. It appeared to be going in a westerly direction and teemed to be gradually descending as disappeared over St. Mary's College.

She reported the affair to her brother, wbo is a motorman on the cemetery branch of the Piedmont road. Last night a little after 5 o'clock, as a crowded car was going out toward Piedmont, tbe attention of the passengers was attracted to a peculiar-looking contrivance high up in the sky. The most peculiar feature of it was a powerful headlight and another light which seemed to be in the bottom of the machine and to shine directly on the earth. It came into view from the direction of East Oakland, passed over Piedmont, and according to the story of the passengers neemed to descend in such a manner as to indicate that it would land somewhere in ban Francisco. Many of the passengers tooK up their morning newspapers tn-day expecting to see a full description of the peculiar object that they bad seen so plainly, and were surprised and disappointed to find no report whatever of it.

They were so convinced that it must have landed across the bay that some of them telephoned to San Francisco last night and made inquiries regarding it. As nothing was known it it is presume i that it mutt have changed its couise and landed somewhere else, for nothing can persuade those who saw it that ii was not a genuine airship under full control. All those who saw this strange object agree in its description and declare that it closely resembles the illustration that appeared in The Call last Thursday of the airs-hip that scores of people witnessed as it passed over Sacramento last Wednesday niebt. Borne of tbt-m saw the propelling arras and declare that they vfere in motion, but all are positive that the machine was brilliantly lighted, and that the lower light shed a Urge arc on the earth as it pushed over, while the headlignt could be seen for a great distance ahead of the machine. One of the most mystified observers of the airship was Charles H.

Eliis, the armore' of Companies A and F. Mr. Eilis is a middle-aged man and very deliberate in his manner of expression, and one not likely to be easily deceived. He declared this evening that he was as skeptical as a man could be when he first read about the Sacramento airship. He also declares that be had no alternative bat to believe his own eyesi ht.

"I was going home to my dinner about hall-pasts last night," ha said, "and was in tbe neighborhood of Twenty-fourth street and New Broadway, when I saw a strange-looking thing ir the sky. It was coming from tne eastward and at first I could see nothing but a bright light When I first saw it the two lights appeared to be one and 1 thought it was a brilliant meteor. It was getting dusk, but the sky was clouded and just dark enough to permit anyone to see plainly. The sky was sufficiently dark to mate a background which would render any such object visible. "As it came nearer 1 could see that there was some dark object along with the light.

When it was nearly overhead I could clearly distinguish that it bornewhat resembled a balloon traveling end on, witb a bright Heht ahead, another one beneath it, and witu what uppeared to be wings both before and behind tbe light. It was at a great height above 'the probably a thousand feet, but not so high as to make it impossible to distinguish what it was. I did not want to believe that it was an airship, as I bad regarded the report of one in the light of a joke. This time, however, I had no alternative. 1 had to believe what I saw.

"As soon as it passed over Bt. Mary's College, it appeared to descend gradually, but regularly, as though under perfect control, and it disappeared in the direction of San Francisco. Of course it was too dark and the machine was too far away to distinguish anything like people or to hear any sounds such as were heard in Sacramento. But there is no doubt in my mind that it was an airship supplied witb electric lignts and well manned." Another witness to the visit of the airship is Selby Yost, a motorman of the Piedmont road and a member of the Oakland Guard. He was a little behind time and was taking bis car toward Piedmont, trying to recover the few minutes he was behind.

As he Thirtieth street, a 11; tie boy stood in the road ana cried, "Jee whiz, what's that?" The passengers heard it and immediately looked at tbe direction in the sky toward which the boy was pointing. They nad no difficulty in 6eeinc the airship. I looked ahead," said Mr. Yost to-day, "I was mystified, and I may as well confess I was. I didn't like to admit to myself that I had suddenly pone crazy, but really for a moment I did wonder if my senses had deserted me.

The passengers all reached out to look overhead, and inside wanted to what those outside were gazing at; so when they requested me to stop the car that they raieht all look I was practically forced to oblige them. They got out in the road and looked up at the airship, the most surprised crowd lever saw in my life. There it was, sure enough, ripht overhead, and traveling on at a good rate, with its light blazing away, and the most uucannylooking thing I ever caw. "Airship or anything else, it was the remarkable-looking object, and I am at a loss now to convince myself that I actually saw iv It was altogether a wonderful sight, and nobody could have ever made me believe that I would ever see such a thing. It was perfectly clear, and not only I but all the passengers saw it and watched it till it disappeared.

I thought it must have landed across the bay, and I was somewhat surprised this morning to see that no mention was made of it in the papers. 1 would really like to have that thing found, so that I could satisfy myself as to how it worked, for a more interesting thing I have never Been." Miss Hagstrom, who resides on Telegraph avenue, saw the same object about six weeks ago. The feature that impressed her most was the bright light which she distinctly saw. On returning home, she told her brother of whit she had seen, but nothing more was thought of it until she read recently that a similar object had been seen in anoiner part of the State. Charles Uagstrom, the brother of trie young lady who witnessed this queer object in the sky, is also in the employ of the Piedmont and Mountain View Railways.

my sister first told me what she bad seen I treated it as a joke," he said tnis evening, "and place i little credence in her stury, believing that she had seen nothing more mysterious than a falling star or me cor. Wlien I heard tbe same thing had been seen elsewhere, last Week, and heard again last night of wnat was seen in this Dart of town, I am now convinced that my sister saw the same I have talKed to several people to-day who witnessed the object last night, and they are all confident that it was nothing more nor less than a genuine airship." W. J. Roada and his wif whe reside at a grocery store at 2042 Broadway, were al'-o witnesses to the strange aerial visitor. we tirst saw it," aid Mrs.

Rodda to-night, "we thought it was a balloon, and if it were not tor the bright light I should stiU bn inclined to think it was a peculiarly snaked bailoon, but I never knew of a balloon to carry bright lights and travel at nighttime the way that did. I could not see any fans myself, but others say that they most undoubtedly saw tUe propellers which sent tbe thing along. As it passed over it angied downward, and if it kept on in the same direction it should have landed somewhere across tne bay. lat once concluded tliat it was the same machine that had been seen in Sacramento. 1 believe that airships will be brought to perfection, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear that some one had already built a practical machine of that kind and was operating with it in tins neighborhood." Many of the passengers on Yo9t's car live out at Piedmont, and all are of the opinion that they saw a real air-hip.

An Oakland artist who crosses to San Francisco every day said this evening that tbe airship was seen irom Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon. I was coming home last night," he said, "in company with a friend who had been out to Golden Gate Park. He told me that he and others bad seen an airship during; the evening and that it closely resembled the P'cture of the one published in The Call. He said that tney tried to explain it by all kinds of means, but they came to the conclusion that it was the same machine. It was dusk when they aaw it and the remarkaole brilliancy of tie lights on it a tructed their attntion.

I shouldn't have thought any more of it, but to-day in this city I heard several paopie discussing it." It is tbe prevalent opinion that some one in Alameda or neighboring counties has solved the problem of flying in the air, and has been for some weeks putting bis experiment to a practical test. SAILED HIGH OFEEHEAD. Kind of Air Craft seen by a Man Kear Zuiarei TULARE, Nov. 21 That airship is cavorting through the atmosphere that overhangs this vicinity. D.

H. Risdon, who was working in an orchard near Tazus, four miles north of this place, sighted a object passing over at a considerate elevation yesterday afternoon. A tramp was near at the time, aud remarke.i that he never saw a balloon sail against the wind. But while the object overhead seemed to be sailing into the teeth of the wind, it may have found an opposite current in an upper stratum. It was passing to the northwest and Risdon declares it was like an immense sheet spread out in the air.

It soon passed out of sight. Risdon had not previously read or Heard of the strange visitor said to have been seen at Sacramento, and as.nis reputation for veracity i 3 excellent his story is genera lv believed. LANE'S SUCCESSOR CHOSEN Bishop Nichols Will Announce His JN'axuo at the Services To-Day. ALAMEDA, Nov. The Vestry of Christ's Church have seiected a successor to tbe Rev.

Broken Prove the Track M-le in 1:57. The new Velodrome bicycle track was opened to the public yesterday afternoon. The threatening weather did not deter an immense crowd from attending, and the people were well repaid, for they witnessed one of the best cycle meets ever held in the State. Before the day's racing was finished the ceople saw several coast records broken, a mile made behind a quadruplet pacing machine in 1:57, a professional competition mile in 2:08, an amateur competition mile in 2:071 and altogether as fane a day's sport of its kind as has ever been seen here. The stands are well protected from the wind and rain, being covered at the sides ana overhead, and the seating accommodations are altogether quite comfortable.

It is intended 'shortly to roof the entire track, and grounds, and give night meets during the winter. The track is situated on the block bounded by Hayes, Fell, Biker and Lyon streets, at the beginning of the panhandle entrance to the part. The meet was handled by the officials of the League of American "Wheelmen, prominent in all local cycling affairs. The officers of the day were: Keferee, R. M.

Welch; H. H. White, E. B. Jerome, H.

Kerrigan; timers G. I. Weimore, G. H. Stratton, A.

P. Swain; scorer Sol Peiser, George Brouiilet, H. D. Hadenfeldt; umpires Douglas White, J. S.

Egan, C. E. Griffiths, R. S. Duncan; clerk of course, R.

P. Aylward; assistants D. Petre, David Marshall, A. W. Wene; starter, R.

C. Lennie; announcer, George E. DLxon; marshal, R. L. Long; handicapper.

R. A. Smythe. Tne drawing card of the meet was the matching of Walter F. Fosterof the Olympic Ciub Wheelmen and Charles S.

Wells of the Bay City Wheelmen for three races at one, two and five miles, paced. The men have long been rivals for the honors of the coast and in the professional class are probably tue fastest men on the coast. The first race, at one mile, was a comparatively easy victory for Foster, as predicted in The Call yesterday. R. E.Dow of San Jose was the pacemaker and set a hot clip for four laps.

On the fifth Wells took the lead and started on his long sprint. Foster could not be shaken off, however, ana. rounding into the homesireich gradually gained on crossing the tape a couple of inches ahead of him amid the greatest enthusiasm. The time was 2:17 3-5. The two mile was a "corker." Boyden paced the first six laps and Dow the next rive.

Fodter seemed satisfied to stay back all the way, giving Wells the t.ole. This was an advantage he made the most of. As they rounded the first turn of the last lap Wells led by a wneel's length, which gap ister was not slow to close upon the back-treich. Coming into the straight they were neck and neck all the way, fighting like mad for a bit of a lead, but neither gained an inch and they crossed the line even up. as dead a i.eat as was every run.

It was a magnificent ride, and the people thoroughly appreciated it. The time 4:37 3 5. Afer a long rest the men again came out, this time lor the five- mile run. They were paced by Dow and Boyden on a tandem, and the pace was enough to suit the most exacting. The first mile was made in two miles, 4:47 4-5; three miles, four miles.

9:09 4-5. And then the pace began to increase and tue people began to get excited. On the twentyninth lap the tandem dropped out and left the men to fight it out alone. Foster had the pole and kept it, with Wells at his eibow, contesting every inch of the way. He was a few inches behind and never made it up, Foster beating him out aiter a markable ride in 11:13 4-5.

The victory was decisive, and Foster was cneered to the echo as be dismounted. The shield race, one mile professional, was divided into three trial heats and a final, first and second in each heat qualify. first was won by Harry Terrill, 'Bay City, in 2:30, Dow of Seattle second. The next heat wjs a tie between two Los Angeles cracks, McCrea and Whitman, in 2:29. Terrill beat Jones, his old-tin.

rival, and Becker, ttie tive-miie National champion, in the third heat, in 2:25 4-5. Tbis brought a hot field into the final, and to make it speedier pacing was introduced. On the fifth lap they were all buncued, with the Terrill brothers in the lead. Harry kept in front almost to the tape, hen came ou the outs.de with his famous sprint and pas-ed him, winning by inches. Whitman of Los Anaeles got third.

The time made was exceedingly fast, 2:08 1-5, and iroes to show what a speedy track the Velodrome is. But this time wasn't "in it" with that made in the final of the amateur mile invitation. There were three neatsand a final in this race, first and second to qualify. The event brought out the cream of the amateur talent of the coast and was supposed to practically decide the championship for the year in that class. Kenna of Oakland won the first heat in clever style from Hamlin, Raynaud and Crafts, in ihe rather slow time of 2:39.

Another Oak lander, Squires, took the second in 2:25 3-5, and still another sprinter from across the bay, Decker, won the next heat in 2:30 1-5. Thus it was evident the amateur championship W3s in a fair way to go to Alameda County, tuough Ha.mlin and Leitch of Sacramento and Birdsall of this City rode second in the lieats, thereby getting into the hnal and still having a fisriiting chance. In the final Decker slipped a pedal and fell, taking one good man out of the race. Paced tor five laps, the speed at which the men traveled seemed terrific for such a small track. Kenna had the role or the last lap, close pressed by Squires, Hamlin ajid Leitch.

They never caught him, and Kenna rode home the established amateur champion for the year. Squires got second, Leitch third. time was 2:07 3-5, the fastest amateur mile ever ridden on the coast in competition, and therefore a record, aud one that will be hard to beat. After a slight rest Kenna came out and rode a mile against time paced by the manned by Dixon, Vincent, Kraft and Lohse of the Bay City They made the half mile in :57 2-5, a coast record, and the mile in 1:57 1-5, another record, by three seconds. Truly the man and the track are fast.

Kenna did not seem at all drawn out, and can probably better that time several seconds. A mile race run by Chinamen, dressed in their own ideas as to cycle racing costumes, was introduced between races and created considerable amusement. The winner was announced to be One Lung. C. D.

Gooch and B. H. Eiford of the Reliance Club then came out for a haifmiie tandem trial against time, and made it in 53 seconds, breaking the coast record, and coming within two seconds of the world's record. They tried it again later, riding the half in :57 1-5. C.

J. Birdsall. the son of popular Lieutenant Birdsall of the police, with A. Thiesen, then took a shy at the world's amateur mile-tandem record of 2:03. ey made it in 2:03 2-5, so the record remained untouched.

In the first heat of the mile handicap, professional, Becker of Minneapolis, Downing of San and Terrill, Bay City, rjuaiitied, Becker winning from 20 yards in 2:15 1-5. Whitman of Los Angeles won the second heat from 40 yards in 2:13 1-5. Dow of Seattle got second, and Harry Terrill, who nearly ran off the track on the iifth lap, got third place, beating out Jones. The final saw a bad tumble near the finish of the last lap, caused by Dow of Seattle, who crowded Harry Terrill and fell, bringing down the two Terrills, Whitman and himself. Harry Terrill was badly bruised.

Downing and Becker cleared the wreck and finished in the order named. "Bob" Terrill jumped to his feet and dragged his across the tape, getting third money. Dow deserves all the censure for the accident, which might have resulted more seriously. The following is thesummary: Velodrome shield rac (professional), one mile: First H. F.
