Few people know" said John K. Hickey
of Missouri yesterday at the Palace. that
John Morrissey was a man in whom the
finer feelings were very largely developed
He felt keenly the reproaches which were
heaped upon him because of his having
been gambler and a prize fighter, and he
told ME that when he was elected to Con-
gress from New York City he made up his
mind to show to the world thht he could rise
above his antecedents. When he took his
seat in the chamber of the House of Repre-
sentatives he felt that he was looked upon
colby by his associates on the floor, but in
stead of attempting to resent it he main
tanned a discreet silence and paid not the
slightest heed to what was going on about
him. On the second day Of the session, he

come you here

broken voice, was the famous Thad

by Dennis Murphy. Manuel had fine
silver watch in his pocket. which Dennis
quickly transferred to his own and then
ran off. The police were notified and

himself was the first to catch sight of him
and at once recognized him, in spite of the
fact that he had parted with his mustache,
and lie pounced on the watch thief like a
tiger. Murphy drew piece Of thick glass
from his pocket and with it cut deep cash

SAN JOSE, Oct. n.-George Borchers

to-day as twirer for the Oaklands and was
warmly welcomed. He has lost none of his
swiltness, and vas little too piercing for
"Chick" Speer, who permitted three passed

marred his work, ard he passed through
the game without catching glimpse Of the
third bag. The game was an interesting
one throug out, and up to the fourth inning
the work of the San Jose team gave honeS
Of shut-out. Timely and frequent hitting
Of the Oaklands tied the score. 1t was an
exciting inning and on two or three occa-

with the umpire. The seventh saw the

conducted by the Brothers of the Christian
Schools, and one beloved by many Of our pro-
fessional and business men as one in which was
gained most of the education upon which rests
the success of their lives. Brother Fabrician as
president has charge of the college, and is as
sisted in his duties by six other Brothers and
by secular professors. The education of boys
under the formative influence of religion is the
first object of the institution, and nothing is left
undone to educate them in manner to fit them
in every way for the stern and eXacting de-
mands of noble manhood. The studies rise
from those of primary department to those
which generally constitute the curriculum lead
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The
ment embrace a commercial and a classical
/ course The former is that pursued in col
lege of commerce, and leads to commercial
diploma; the latter covers the ground required
for admission to the collegiate studies for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. Physical culture is
encouraged, and a successful manhood, physi-
cally, taught to be an object no less worthy and
valuable than one intellectually so. This insti-
tuition was first established on X street in 1868,
incorporated and known as st. Matthew Insti-
tute. 1t was removed to the present location
in 1850, where it occupies premises covering an
area of lOOxl7O feet. The college building is a
four-story marble front 60xS0 feet. This struc- |
ture has been erected with scrupulous care, the |
projectors having secured all modern improve |
ments, making the interior of this building com
plete in all of its appointments for light, ven
tilstion, heating, etc.
