Last of the Druids.
Pail Mall Budget.

All Mail BuQReI
We regret to announce the death Of the
High Priest of the sun at the rpe age OF 92.
To the eye of faith he was the last of the
Druids. The profane knew him only as DR.,
William Price of Llantrissant, In Glamor-
ganshire, and characterized him as "a most
eccentric man." It must be admitted that
they were not altogether without excuse
for this opinion. He attempted TO initiate
the pontifical raiment of his predecessors in
the priesthood, wearing whole fOxskin on
his head, light green coat with trousers to
match, and scarlet waistcoat. As a repro
duction of Druidic costume the profane NAV
perhaps be again excused for thin king this
unconyincing. Even High Priests of the
sun are not without human weaknesses, aud
DIR. Price signalized this truth at the age of
81 by marrying his housekeeper, girl OF 10.
One must allow that this step is a touch of
prose in such character, but he redeemed
IL shortly afterward by attempting to burn
the body of his dead child on funeral pyre
which he erected in a neighboring field. The
Druid could hardly take account of the con-
stable.

FOUNDING OF ARBoR DAY
How Sterling Morton Caused Ne
braska to be Planted With Trees.

braska to be Planted With Trees.
ga New York sun.
1t is twenty-one years since Sterling
Morton invented Arbor day. He was then
member of the Nebraska State Board of
Agriculture, and he offered resolution set
ting apart April 10, 1872, as tree planting
day. There were some members of the
board who contended for the name sylvan
day." but Mr.. Morton talked them out Of
this title. The resolution as finally adopted
recommended that the people throughout
the State plant trees on the day named. and
offered, in the name Of the board, prize of
S100 to the agricultural society of that
county which should plant properly the
largest number of trees. To the person
planning the largest number of trees farm
library worth S25 was offered. The board
requested the newspapers to keep this
resolution before their readers, and the
newspapers responded so generously that
more than 100000 trees were planted
throughout Nebraska on the first ArbOr day.
Next year the day was observed with in
creased interest, and In 1874 the Governor
officially proclaimed the second Wednesday
Of April as Arbor day for Nebr aska. The
day was named thus by proclamation until
1885, when the Legislature designated April
% as ArbOr day and a holiday. Since that
time provision has been inserted in the
constitution OF Nebraska declaring that
the increased value Of lands, by reason of
live fences, fruit and forest trees grown
and cultivated thereon, shall not be taken
into account in the assessment thereof"
In addition to this Nebraska has enacted
many statutory provisions touching upon
the planting OF trees. One directs the
corporate authorities of cities and towns
10 cause shade trees 10 be planted along
the streets. and empowers the authori-
ties to make additional assessments
for taxation upon lands benefited by such
planting. Another section of the law
provides for the planting of trees not more
than twenty feet apart upon each side of
one-fourth of the streets in every city and
village Of Nebraska. Most persons ac-
Quainted with the needs of really valuable
shade trees realize that such trees should
be planted good deal further apart than
the distance thus indicated by law.
One result OF all this legislation and of
the premiums offered each year by the State
Board of Agriculture has been the astoniSh-
ing prosperity OF nurserymen In Nebraska.
In The first sixteen years after Arbor Day
was set up there were more than $50. 900, COO
trees and vines planted in Nebraska, and
the observance of the day is still kept up
with interest. At the same time a great
number of States East and West have
followed the example of Nebraska, so that
Sterling Morton's resolution has had
greater influence than any other such
action unsanctiOned by legislative author

How the Association Game Is Pro-
crossing.
Good weather last Sunday gladdened the
hearts of the football enthusiasts and all the
city ball grounds were in good playable con-
dltion. at Central Park the association
followers were treated to a magnificent
game between the Pacific Wanderers and
the Oakland Athletics, and the athletes of
the modern Athens returned TO Oakland
with the Wanderers scalps dangling to their
belts.
The Oakland boys have not been seen
here since January 10, and their improve
ment has been so rapid that now they have
reached the premier position in association
circles by their defeat of the Wanderers.
For the Oaklanders Low at goal and
Proctor at back played an exceedingly bril-
liant game and the exhibition they gave in
their respective positions places them IN
the front ranks of association players.
OrchsOn, Mur, Weir and FOTgie were
very effective in their play and, taken as a
whole, the Oaklanders have nOw team that
possess the necessary science and stamina
10 carry the Hilbert trophy across the bay
The front rank Of the Wanderers worked
liked Trcjans 10 avert defeat, but their
efforts were marred by Broadhursts re-
peated failures in front OF the Oakland
goal.
Morrison and Thomson played q good
losing game, but Gray's defense at goal was
disappointing ana did not approach the fine
exhibition he gave WashingtOn's birthday
against the Thistle h0ys.
By defeating the Wanderers the Oakland
team has now been installed as an even
favorite with the 1histes aud Wanderers,
and when the final ties of the Hilbert trophy
are reached some highly exciting contests
will take place between these teams.
Irish DappTs at hand contain lengthy and
interesting reports of the junior inteTna-
tIOnal game between Ireland and Scotland
under association rules. which excited con-
siderable interest in Great Britain.
The game took place on Cliftonville foot
ball grounds, Belfast, on Saturday, Feb
Tuary II, and resulted in win for Scotland
by four goals 10 two after an exciting and
close contest. which WAS witnessed by
nearly 10000 spectators.
Among the International junior repre-
sentatiyes for Scotland was Berthe Fyfe,
ScOilauG'S leading Junior center forward,
who is A brother of w. C. Fyfe, the popular
captain OF the Pacific Wanderers team of
this city, and himself one of the finest eX-
ponents OF the association game on the
coast.
The association game is very strong in
Ireland, as the Belfast Evening Telegraph
Of February II deYotes no less than six
columns to association games played all
over Ireland on that date.
The game at Central Park to-day will be
between the GRANTEES and the Rovers, and
as this is the first time these teams have
met in the Hilbert trophy competition a
good game is looked for.
At Oakland the Rangers will try conclu-
si0ns with the local team, and on their
present form the Oakland boys should cap
tuTe the game.
The Hilbert trophy is now on exhibition
in the window of The CALL Branch Office
on Market street,

Although the rainy weather has inter-
fered with outdoor athletics the downpour

sport next month.
There will be some exciting sport at
Ocean View Coursiug Park to-day, as
twenty-tour of the best dogs in the city
have been entered.
The kernel clubs are preparing for their
yearly canine chorus, and the admirers of
feld-shooting are giving their leisure hours
10 popping at live pigeons from traps.

c. P. Morse of the Pacific Wanderers
Association team, and one of the leading
players at that game, was born in England
where he became initiated into the mys-
teries of both the Rugby and association
games. He has figured conspicuOusly in the
football world of this coast for several
years, having for two seasons played with
the olympic Football Club of this city in
Its intercollegiate team as end rush, in
which position he made some distinguished
plays.
On the formation Of the Wanderers Asso-
citation team lie was selected TO I'LL the posi-
ton of forward, and in the front division of
his team his play has been exceptionally
brilliant during the season. He is a
polished drIbbler, a good tackler and a
dangerous shot when near goal, and the
great form which he has displayed during
the season stamps him al one Of the leading
exponents Of the association games on the
coast.
