ZULU MEMORIES.
DR.. F. w. d'Evelyn's Lecture in the Poly

DR.. F. w. d'Eyelyn's Lecture in the Poly
clinic Course.
The Standard Theater was well filed last
night on the occasion Of the second in the
series of popular lectures under the auspices
OF the San Francisco Polytechnic.
The subject was Personal Memories Of
the Zulu Campaign in South Africa" pre-
sented in an easy narrative style by DR.. F.
W. d'Evelyn, who was attached to the hos
pital Corps and member Of the Red Cross
Society.
The lecturer sketched the history of the
troubles preceding the war, for which he
held the Yacillating policy Of the English
Government in part to blame. A number Of
Zulu idiOsyucTasies we're indicated and the
conduct of the natives described after their
first successful battle when CetaBayo JOY
fully exclaimed, ''The English are beaten,
now / am an elephant"
DR.. d Evelyn told the story of the CAM
paign in an interesting way, becoming at
times quite eloquent He referred to the
death OF the Prince Imperial, whom he
eulogized As IAN all-rOund man and every
inch soldier" Several pathetic incidents
of the battlefield were related, and then
the lecturer spoke with regret OF the war.
'Gild it as you will, he said, 'you cannot
cover up its sickening horrors and its
mOurnful memories"
Before leaving the subject of Zululand. he
spoke sadly Of the native beer, which he de-
scribed as "an unhappy combination of
tastes and smells, suggesting tuTpentine,
haiT-oil and dlSh-water." The doctor con-
cluded by reference to the Polyclnic and
the niche it filled among the city's require
ments, expressing the gratitude of the staff
to the lady patrons aud the public who have
generously supported II.

clear complexion is usually the result of good

When the blood is sluggish and the mind de-

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Peculiar Manipulation of Police
Court Records.

Joseph Keyes, charged with embezzle-
ment. became free man through peculiar
manipulation Of Police Court records. On
June 10Th Detective Rogers arrested him
for stealing money from the till Of his EN-
ployer, NJ Markell, butcher, of 14l3 Stock
ton street Keyes confessed his guilt and
refunded 500, which he had stolen, and on
the day Of his arrest was released on bond
in the sum of S400, the sureties being
Walter Gallagher and c. Stevens, Police
Court lawyers.
The case was transferred from Depart
ment to Department l, but when it was
called in the latter court Keyes did not ap-
pear. On the calendar, opposite his name,
were the letters " o. r." meaning that he
had been released on his own recogn iZance.
After several continuances Judge Xix de-
cided to investigate. The bond was found
in Court 2, and Clerk Cook OF Court
saws that when the case was transferred the
calendar was stamped 80. R.
Attorney Gallagher says that an order was
made allowing Keyes 10 go on his own
recOgnizance, but none Of the Police Judges
remem Der having made such an order. 1t
Is said that some one put the stamp on the
calendar without authority, and there is Il
likelihood Of the matter being brought TO
the attention Of the Grand Jury.
Attorneys Gallagher and Stevens claim
they are not responsible on the bond, by
reason of the order of recOgnizance. This
Is a proposition that will be determined by

Charles Sorenson in room at 1416 Stock
ton street Sorenson was having "a time"
among the saloons on the "Barbary Coast, !"
and became fascinated with Sarah and ac-
companied her home.
When he awOke yesterday and counted
his money he almost tainted when he dis
covered that five double eagles were miss
ing Then he rubbed his eyes and shrieked
with anguish as he made the additional
startling discovery that the fair Sarah was
also missing. When he recovered suf-
fciently he hied himself to Police Court 2
and made complaint, resulting in the incar-
ceration OF the woman on charge OF grand
larceny.
During the afternoon SoreDsen happened
to enter J0hnson's saloon at 812 Kearny
street and was greeted by his friend john
son, who said: "WeIl, Charley, do you want
that hundred you LETT here last night" A
pecul lar expression passed over Sorenson's
face before he shouted: by Jove, that
woman did not steal my gold after all. l
remember now / left it here"
Sorenson then hunted up the arresting
officers and told them he had found his
money. All interested went before Judge
Worley and Explained tho circumstances Of
the case. The Court was convinced that
Sarah was unjustly accused and ordered
her released on her own recOgniZance. say
ing he would dismiss the case to-day.

Lamps have been placed on all the towers
and Berkeley is once more lighted by cleo
tric lights.
Quite number of cases of scarlet fever
are reported. The action of the Board Of
Education regarding tho attendance of chill
dIen from infected homes was taken none
too soon.
The Town Trustees have ordered the Re-
gents Of the University to connect the cot
tsges at Allston way with the town sewer
in that street, and it is said the Regents re-
fuse to do it. The Trustees threaten to
have the work done a. the expense of the
Regents as a sanitary measure.
The antics of the students Of the Uni
versity reached point on Tuesday at which
even those who would excuse the pranks Of
the boys feel that they can no longer do so.
The night being cloudy and the astronomy
class unable to work, portion of the class
adjourned to place near the grounds and
proceeded to form "Star-gazers' Club"
and at once initiated candidate. The
principal requirement for admission seemed
to be that the candidate must drink an ex-
traordlnary amount Of beer without becom-
ing drunk. BY the time the initiation cele-
mony was over the crowd was in spirit for
mischief and started out, like Satan OF old,
seeking whom it might devour.

occupied by the young ladies' fraternity and
piled UP on the porch ready 10 roll III when
the front door opened. This brilliant
scheme was greeted with h0wls of delight
But the spirit Of deviltry was not to be so
quickly satisfied. A COW, belonging to Mrs.
McKeWen, was feeding near by. The boys
secured her and endeavored to entice her
up the steps of the young ladies' house.
The frightened creature refused to CO. how
ever, so the students procured long rope
and tied the COW to the front door-knob and
went away. All the time they had given
vent TO the most unearthly yells and the
neighborhOod had been aroused.
The next place was Durant avenue, where
the empty cement barrels Of the sidewalk
builder were scattered in yards. over the
street. and number hung up in the electric
light tower. All the yard gates which could
be pulled away were taken along and
dropped in out of the way places. About 1
O'Clock the crowd reached Mrs. Acheson'S,

The nearest sidewalk furnished the ma
terial and roasted geese and liquid refresh

voured amid the howls and shriekS Of the
crowd. At an early hour in the morning
the crowd broke up and went to bed. This
affair is the worst Of several which have
taken place in Berkeley this term and
trouble is coming. If the University author
tiles cannot control the midnight marauder,
certain citizens of the town profess a will

wanton destruction of property has reached
