last Friday evening about two hun
dred of the students OF the university of
California attended the performance of
Patience at the Tivoli in San Francisco.
They dispersed themselves through the
house and started in to have Jolly good
time. The house was packed and every
body, including the performers, joined
the boys in the spirit of fun and hilarity
which had taken possession of the the
ater. AT one stage of the performance a
bevy of students who occupied one OF
the boxes unfurled a banner with the
words Farmers Alliance" painted
upon it in large letters, and fastened it
TO the front of the box. Another batch
chartered the huge telescope of Mar
ket street star-gazer, and placed it in
the middle aisle, where the Junos on
the stage were brought under the dis
cerning eyes of the astronomical stu
dents. This was of course a very
palpable hit. The fun grew fast
and furious, but good nature pre-
vailed throughout the evening. In
deed, the boys had what might
be called rollicking, iovial, de-
monstrative good time, marred by
not single instance of bad temper nor
anything to cause the slightest pain to
anybody. The students were out on
lark, and they had one that leftno sting
behind. How different this from the
brutal and sometimes bloody demonstra-
tions that we have had to record of some
OF the older universities. 1t is but
few months ago that the students of
Michigan university converted their fun
into riot which the police were called
in to put down, and in doing which sew
eral persons were killed. Harvard and
Yale have been time and again dis
graced by the brutal rowdyism Of their
students. Our boys have shown that
they can have all the fun they want
without forgetting that they are gentle

ADvIcEs from London say that there
is every reason to believe that English
farmers will get remunerative prices for
their wheat this year. The crops in the
European wheat regions will again fall
very short, and even with the supply
from the United States, there will be a
large deficiency. Consequently prices
will rule high. The prospect therefore
is that not only the English farmers
will be greatly benefited, but that our
California wheat growers will receive a
higher price for their grain this season
than they have received for many years

An enormously large hawk poised in
midair a few days ago over Jacob
Heather's fine flock of Shanghai chickens
at Durham, Bucks county. Selecting
one of the finest, a seven pound rooster,
the hawk fell upon it, and majestically
bore it skyward. The contemplated
meal was never to be eaten, however,
for Walter Hamortin happened to be
cunning under the path of the hawks
fight, and succeeded in bringing the
latter to earth. The rooster was unin-

Horrible Murder in Tennessee.

A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn, says:
A shocking tragedy was enacted in the
village OF Germantown Monday night,
where a Negro boy, Pugh Prewitt. was
instantly killed. The killing occurred in
front of Negro church, about half a mile
east OF the town. and though there were
200 Negroes in the church, and as usual
number congregated about the door, no
one could be found who could identify the
murderer. Previtt's body was found with
a butcher knife nearly foot long sticking
in his breast. Coroner Stockland essayed
to pull it out, but could not. A small line
was fastened 10 the knife but still it could
not be withdrawn, and it was not until "a
loop was made in the rope and strong
stick passed through it with two men
pulling at il, that the knife was finally
extricated The knife had passed

Ex-senator ingalls, made his debut as a
lecturer at the National Chautauqua We'd
nesday. His subject was, THE Problems
of Our Second Century," The first pro-
blem which he discussed was the danger of
paternalism in the government, and he paid
his respects. in his un que way, 70 the
class of people who wants their debts paid
by act of congress and who would have
money as plentiful as autumn leaves in the
forest. He said that If all the wealth in
the United States were to be equally dis
tributed now, in six months there would
be some people riding in palace cars, some
in buggies, some would be walking and
some would be sitting in the fence corners
watching the procession 90 by. Above
all, he added. there would be heard again
the voice of the irrcpressible reformer,
earning his livelihood by the persp ration
OF his jaw, rather than by the sweat of his
brow" If some men were rich and others
poor il was the fault of the Creator. He
would not disguise the fact that the pre-
sent was momentous crisis in the history
OF the country, and that all forces Of de-
moralization were marshaled for the con-
test. He had no doubt or the outcome of
the fight. There would be in the future a
broader liberty, larger opportunities for
happiness and greater development Of the
nation than the mind of man could now
conceive. In the course Of his remarks he
referred 10 himself as statesman out Of a
job, TO the great amusement Of tho au-
dience.
