The Encyclopedia Britannica is admittedly
one OF the most useful works ever compiled
for the benefit of the reading public. 1t is
atreaSury OF knOwledge-a complete library
IN itself-valuable alike to the student and
the man OF letters, the seekers after knowl-
edge and the recognized authority. 1t was
compiled by over 1900 of the best modern
writer's. scientists and experts, and treats
npon every imaginable subject.
An immense amount of capital and energy
was spent in the publication of the splendid
work, but THE CALL has been able to make
arrangements whereby its readers can pro-
vide themselves with it for the nominal
sum of 81 50 per volume in addition to their
regular monthly subscription for the paper.
The edition offered by THE CALL is not
an abrldgment of the work like that now
being foisted on the public by morning
contemporary. which does not contain any
oil the articles relating to the United States
copyrighted for the Edinburgh edition. On
the contrary, 1t Is an exact and complete
reproduction OF the exhaustive edition pub
lished some years ago by Scribner Bros, to-
gether with the five volumes of the Ameri-
can supplement, which continue the work
on the same lines down to date. These, in
TACT. include an article on the Leland Stan
ford Jr. University. which has been opened
but few months.
The work. including the supplement-,
comprises thirty volumes. For 81 per
month the DAILY MORNING CALI. and one
volume Of the encyclopedia will be delivered
each month until the full set has been re-
ceived. This is a splendid opportunity to
obtain complete reference library at
very small cost and should be taken advan-
tage OF by every family in the country.

passionate appeal.
The court passed its Judgment and sent
her to San Quentin for one year. Her CO.
defendant. John Cater, had been previously
sent to Folsom for four years. Deputy
Sheriff Ru herford then attempted to re-
move her from the courtroom, but she tried
to elude him by running around the stove,
swapping at him the words:
Let me alone, you nasty thing Don't
you touch me"
This woman and her co-defendant had
been operating. what in criminal parlance
l. known as the "hotel act'-namely, pilfer-
ing from the rooms of dodgers in houses
south OF Market street. Cater would hire
