most exciting football game ever
played on the Pacific coast. Fifteen
thousand people gathered at the Haight
street ball groands, and although the
game was not called till 2;16, the
grounds were crowded lorg before that
hour. All morning crowds OF students
from both universities were thronging 2 the
streets, ornamented with their reepec-
tive colors-bl1e and gold for the Uni
vsreity of California, and crimson for
the Stanford.
Football has been comparatively
new game on the coast until this year.
but both teams were under the instruc-
tion OF crack coachers for several weeks.
Walter Camp and 7 L McClung, Yale's
famous plasers, taught many of their
tricks to the men under their charge.

PITTsBURa, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE hear
Ing of the case of Robert Beatty
charged with furnishing poison with
which to poison non union workmen at
Homestead, was held this afternoon.
Patrick Gallagher, the cook who made
the confession, was not present. The
courtroom was crowded. A number of
witnesses were examined. JIM. David.
son, formerly clerk at Homestead, testi
fed that on August 25th he, in com panv
with Gallagher and Beatty, held a con-
ference with District Master Workman
Dempsey, the result of which was that
all of them went to Homestead to poiecn
the non-unionists in the MILL As to the
selection of the poison, the witness said {:
Beatty suggested croton oil, and 1
said no that was dangerous; and
Dempsey said he knew powder which
would be better. Dempsey said he used
the powder in Chicago and he broke q
strike in four days. 1t was not
dangerous. Dempsey said he would
guarantee us $50 each and our expenses,
We got no powder that day. We then
left, all together, and talked about it.
Beatty said we were to get $50 each and
a agold watch and chsin, if we went"
Davidson said Of the $50 promised, he
got S14. A severe cross examination did
not weaken Davidson's testimony. He
did, however. admit that he was ar
rested late in November and taken into
the ST. Nicholas building and sworn and
told the story he had just told them.
He was released. Gallagher was arrest
ed before that. He said they had it
down in black aud white and he had to
tell all he knew.
j. Il. Ford, detective, testifying
eaid: II know Beatty, Gallagher and
Davidson. On the nightao Decembe
let heard conversation between the
three in which Beatty told about the
powders and what they contained.
heard Gallagher say that Tom Brady
bad first suggested croton oil.
Beatty said there was Turkish
rhubarb and snuff in the powders and
IT was not necessary to tell the rest.
Gallagher said he could take the pow.
ders and go west and break up some
strike there, and told Beatty to 60 to
Homestead next day and get the re-
ceipts If he had to pay s5, as there was
money in it ior both of them"
Louis Woifers, steward of the restau-
rant at Homestead, will testify that he
noticed an unacconntable sickness soon
after employing Gallagher as cook. He
said in spite of the best food he and his
vile became very i'll and never very
FULLY recovered. He several times saw
Beatty talking to Gallagher in the mill

His Gift to P,ttsburg.
PrrTsBURG, Dec. 17.-Several weeks
ago the Pittsburg Art society adopted
resolutions recommending the accept
ance of Andrew Carnegie's gift of pub
lie library to the city OF Pittsburg.
In the resolutions the society deplored
the stand taken by several labor organ
izatie ms against accepting Carnegie's
gift to Pittsburg. Today reply was
received from Carnegie, in the curse OF
which he said:
was naturally much grieved at the
action OF some industrial organizations
to which the resolutions refer. WHAT
ever was OF persohal character was
readily understood and passed over, per-
haps more easily. because I could not
quite see how deserved it, but the tp-
POSITION expressed to the libraries. /.
music hall and art gallery was wholly
different matter, and rejoice to hear
yonr society is of the opinion that
it came from the influence of strong,
temporary excitement. 1t were indeed
pitiable 1t the wage earners for whom
these were chic efly intended, should be-
permanently prejudiced against the m by
any shortcomings of the donor, howev. r
grevious; for sadly as he may fail in his
efforts to live worthily and do his
duty-and no one, alas knows as
well as himself how far he falls short
of his own ideal = yet his gift
to Pittsburg must ever remain
stainless and work good con
tisually, and never evil. l \ hope,
therefore, your action may bring my
fellow workmen (for have right to
use the title) to see that fair play re
quires them to separate the donor
and his many faults from the
libraries and music halls and art
gallery, which have none. If they will
only do this I will gladly risk their some
day expuDging the votes of censure
passed upon me personally"
