A $4,000 Race at san Francisco.

The attendance at the Bay District Park,
San Francisco, on Saturday, to witness the
$4,000 trot, best in 8, between Judge
Fullerton and Occident, Chicago having
been withdrawn, was rather small. In the
pools before the race Judge Fullerton was
selling as the favorite at 100, Occident at
65. While exercising previous to the start
Occident again behaved badly. In draw
ing for position, Occident won the pole.
At 2.45 p. M, rhe horses came on the
track, which was in fair condition, not
withdrawing the recent heavy rains. The
spectators manifested but little enthusiasm
and the pool-selling was light.
At 8 O'Clock the horses had scored four
times without n start. AT 1907 they got
off. At the half mile pole Fullerton was
in the lead which he maintained until en-
tering the home stretch, when Occident
made a splendid dash, gaining the first
place and coming in length ahead of his
opponent. Time, 2;10.
This result Immediately changed the
pool selling, Occident bringing $50, to $40
on Fullerton. In the second heat Fullerton
broke badly twibe. AT the quarter pole he
was thirteen lengths behind, but gained
ground rapidly. He was too far behind,
however, to come up with Occident, who
again passed under the wire a length ahead
Time, 1895.
The third heat aud the race were won by
Occident in 2:2Oa. Fullerton led to the
half mile pole, when Occident shot ahead,
maintaining the lead to the finish.

No LoMYerh There.

Minister Jewell tells us how lovely every
thing is in Russia. There are no LAWYERS
there, and hence no need of them. We
only find in one paper that medical students
have by violence displaced professor from
his chair in the lecture room, that baroness
and abbcss of sistcrhood, and daughter of
the governor of Caucasus, has been forging
bills of exchange for religious purposes,
and that 10000 people, lnhabiting nine
squares in Cronstadt, are burned out by
incendaries. The experiment of purfica-
tion by getting rid of lawyers does not seem
to succeed eminentlv.in Russia. Let us
hope for better things in Delaware, where
the legislature elect does not contain a
single lawyer.

A BLOW AT THE "sIsTERs.r

The Inspector General of the army is
after The ''sistcrs He not only recon-
mends that they be prohibited from marry
ing whom and when they please, that is
the "bold soldier boy" but that they shall
not even wash the soldiers clothes. This
would be a bad enough attack on ''woman's
rights" but lie follows it up by throwing
contempt on their manner of travelling and
the luggage they carry with them on
such occasions. If he were not making an
official report, we should not know which
to do--to condemn his want of veracity or
admire his brilliant vein of satire in deal
ing with wash-women. He recommends
that laundresses "be dispensed with in the
army because it requires almost as much
transportation to move four laundresses as
whole company of men. Unfortunately
we are left to grope in the dark after the
reason why it takes so much mule power
to move four females. 1t takes as many
mules to move a single laundrcss as is re-
qured for the transportation of twenty or
twenty-five men, he eXclaims. 1t requires
a considerable stretch of the imagination
to believe this, and il can only be account
ed for on the assumption that our army is
made up of men so gallant, always except
ing the Inspector General aforesaid, that
they allow the sisters to "spread
themselves" and each use an en-
tire army wagon in which to
expand their supposablc enormous skirts,
and another in which to ''move" the badges
of their profession ; while they, being
men, are content to crowd themselves,
arms, equipments and all, to the number of
twenty or more, into a similar space. If
this is the case, it would be worth wo-
mans while to try the experiment for once,
and so have one good travel without hear
| ing talk and sneers about the number or
| size of her trunks, bags, band boxes, bun
| dies, etcetera. If any Of them conclude
so to do, let them be sure, before under
taking the trip, that this naughty inspector
general has been detailed for other fields OF
duty The report closes with concession
to the women. and opens to the vision the
day when men shall stay at home and ''do
the washing" while the other part of the
household attends the store, shop, Office OF
court-but this concession is not made
! without another blow at the sisters, this
time at their capacity for work. He
claims, and so reports and recommends,
that one man can be detailed ION daily
duty to do the washing of the company
with the same facility and thoroughness a:
these laundresses. Just think of it, while
1t requires the same number of muies tC
transport laundress as it docs to do the
same duty for twenty or more men, yet one
man will do as much washing. aud as wei
too, as four laundresses. Oh what naughty
man that Inspector General is Let it b'
hoped that the ''army wives won't ge
after him. If they do, how the fur vii

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

A rare opportunity is offered for the dis
play of American snobbishness. A live
king, with an objectionable name, has
stepped his sacred feet on the shores of
California and is making his way eastward.
We opne that all the snobbery was not dis
played for the benefit of simply heir ap-
parents and other princes so that there will
be none left for the king. We stared at
the Prince of Wales and another of Vic
toria's sons, at the CzarowitZ, and dined,
wined and danced them most to death, all
the time forgetting that every son of toll,
born on American soil, were more than
their equals in rank, that they were
soyereigns already and not in expectancy.
The government WED with the people in
their anti-republlcan eagerness to do honor,
MS ii was called, to these scions of ROYALTY,
and made themselves ridiculous by their
eagerness to obtain even a sight Of such
rara ares. Cities, and the city Of New
York in particular, turned out en- massc.
officials and private citizens, all actuated
by the one desire to see how man looked
and to do him reverence. Receptions and
balls were given, and the money expended
thereon could be counted by the hundreds
of thousands of dollars, while many real
kings and princes, the rulers Of free
America, were suffering in penury
and want. Here in country
where we profess to hold all men equal
the people almost went on their Blended
knees to catch glimpse of mere boys, be-
cause, forsooth, their father or mother oc-
cupied throne, not by the consent of the
governed but by force of arms. The whole
snobbery of the country was brought tn
the front, and these boys must have car
ried home with them a peculiar idea of
American equality and want of regard for
mere rank. This Sandwich Island king
has commenced his triumphal march in
much the same manner, although, be it
said to her credit, the city government of
San Francisco did not paitake IN the snob-
bish reception. New York must Guido
her former self, because she has real king
this time, not mere boys, heirs apparent, or

THE " BON MARCHE."

The Bon Marche had its opening day
lately on which it threw open to the public
not only its stores of fall attractions, but
also an immense addition to its already
vast space. 1t now covers even more
ground than does Stewards, though it does
not, think, contain as much space, as it
is not 30 high comprising as it does only
three stories Vast as it is, it Is always

not only popular but really artistic
success. At the last one, which took
