KILLED BY RAIN.
The College Baseball Game
Postponed.
Berkeley Students and Oakland Pro-
fessiOnaIs viii Play at Haight
Street To-Day.

The first college baseball game of the sea-
son was to have been played yesterday
aftern Don, but was postponed on account
of the rain. The match was announced to
take place between the State University
team and the Oakland professionals AT the
Piedmont grounds. Oakland The college
boys had determined to turn out en- masse,
but the weather prevented.
Baseball is having a boom in Berkeley Just
now, and the team is training hard for the
coming games with Stanford. These
matches with the professional teams are
regarded as practice games, from the fact
mat the Boys think 1t no disgrace to he
beaten. But this does not mean that they
Will not try to win. for they will play lust
as hard as though they were matched
against their rivals at Palo Alto.
Until this year baseball attracted little
attention, and the maBagem ent was usually
in debt at the end Of season. Ii Is hoped
that the two games with the Oakland pro-
fessonals Will clear the Berkeley team from
debt.
This afternoon If it does not rain the first
game between the two teams will be played
at Halght-street grounds. The game will
be called al 2:30 OcOck and, as admission
is only % cents. It is expected that large
crowd will be present.
The Berkeley team will be made up as
follows: Pierce, catcher; Robinson, first
base; Browning, captain and second base /;
GoshnskY, third base; Bernheim, shortstop /;
Morse. left field; Galindo, center field /;
Johnston, right field.
The Oakland team that will oppose this
nine VIII be: Homer, pitcher; Hess, catch
er; Hernou, first base; O'Nenl, second
base; McQuade, third base; Irwin, short
step; Cantillion, left field; Hines, center
fieldi Grfiiths, right field.

WHO WILL DO THE HUNTING /?
Prisoner Deering and Witness Hobart
Have Tilt in Court.

The DeeIing case was still on trial yeste r
day before jury in The United States Dis
trict Court.
United States Attorney Garter made an
attempt to have the testimony of behring's
wife allowed. on the ground that she was
not his wife at the time the events hap
pened for which Deering is being tried, but
the testimony was not allowed.
A wordy fight occurred between the pris-
onor and Witness John Il. Hobart. while
the latter was testifyiag. Attorney Van
Duzer asked the question, Would you or
would you not like to see the prisoner con-
Vcted 2"
81 don't care whether he is or not" was
the ,reply, for II he escapes the law he
won't escape me-
Deering then spoke up, despite the efforts
Of the Marshal to quiet him. "If I do
escape" said he, 81 shall hunt you up aud
see what you mean by those words"
Mr.. Hobart replied, "Y gu won't need to
look far, and | think that l will find you in
stead of your finding me-"
BY this time the Marshal had quieted the
prisoner and the trial proceeded, with only
glances exchanged between the prisoner
and witness. and these glances were not
exactly loving.
Mrs. Deering was not at the trial, as she
is confined at home by illness.

Judge Coffey glanced up from the paper
he was scrutinzng and smiled atfably.

man" replied the court; put you may say
few more if you desire"
The man climbed the steps, leaned over
the Judges desk and said in n stage whis-
per: Judge, there's man over on Mission
street who is going to die; he's very low,
your Honor, and he wants to make a will
what can't be broke, and he says he knows
you, and he would like if you would come

cast-iron bands running around it, so as
none Of his relatives what might be ugiy

DANCE OF THE MAD.
A Ball Held by Demented
Patients.
PECULIAR SCENES At AGNEWS
General BouIanger, Sarah Bernhard,
Countess, an Emperor and
Tive Poets Were There.

Truly it was mad dance No, not ex-
actly that. Perhaps it could be more prop
erly styled a dance for the mad, as the
dancing in itself was all right.
But l am going to tell something about
the funniest ball ever held and the funniest
lot OF people you ever heard Of, ana that is
why l have started off with their dance.
Bill Nye was there and smiled beautifully
as his bald head flashed past Sarah Bern

the Countess de Lesseps with his elegance
and grace, while Nine. Patti frowned when
the Emperor Of China grnned at her from
his perch on a rear bench.

want TO see some fun drive out to the
asylum tonight and attend the insane

An hours rapid drive through the dark

permission from DR.. Hatch, the resident
physician. TO enter tn assembly hall where
the ball was in progress.

HOW SHE DID 1T.
The Bright Girl Who
Wrote ave Uns."
Miss Charles Tells Why and How
She Came to Write " Siftings
From Poverty Fiat"
"How did I come to write bookP

How did I come to write book? s-
ooh, l don't know exactly. l always
wanted TO write and when l got out of en-
ployment q few months ago and had moth
ing else to do. began to write some short
stories without any object in view, that is,
regarding their publication.
"But when they were finished, mamma
and the girls thought they were good enough
to have printed, and that is the way 'Sift-
ings From Poverty Flat came to be written
and published"
1t was Miss Fannie Charles, the author of
the little volume referred to, who spoke in
answer to question put by CALL re-
porter.
did l have any assistance? Not In the
actual writing of the stories, but had lots
OF help in tile matter of ideas ana sugges-
tons from my sisters, especially LennIP,
andstn the business transactions connected
with the work she has been invaluable"
You see when | first began to write the
first story OF those published ! only intended
lisfor mamma, as II was story of our lives
and never thought OF its interesting any
one outside Of the family, and when they
finally persuaded me to have it published |
was awfully afraid the critics would say
mean things about il, a. they do about so
many books, but they have been very kind
TO me and the papers have said some very
nice things about my work"
Have you ever written anything before,
Miss Charles?"
Yes; that is. have been writing things
all my life pretty near, but the few stories
l submitted to editors have always been re-
turned TO me, usually with kind remarks
regarding practice and such things; but on
the whole Offering but little encouragement
to perseYere.
Then, besides. l never had very much
time TO devote TO the work, as we have all
of us had to work for our living. One of
my sisters works in the Southern Pacific
offices, the other is employed by the tele-
phone company, and up to within a few
months OF the present time l was a book
keeper IN 4 brokers office.
80 you can see that our lives as depicted
in We Uns' are not exaggerated"
Nhen questioned regarding future liter
airy efforts Miss Charles said she was then
at work on much longer story than those
published, but what the name of it would
be was yet undecided, and as to the sub
ject she preferred u say nothing until 1t
was finished.
DO yon regard your work as financially
successful so far?' was asked
Il hardly know yet, because it has only
be. and 81 far as we have heard the books
are selling well.
Il never thought about money at all
when was a work on the stories, because.
you see, writing is a part OF my life, aud at
the time the pleasure | got from doing tine
work IS pay enough | think il is awiully
good OF the newspapers to say such nice
things. Don't you?
mo; | don't think ! will keep books any
more-at least l hope | won't have to.
don't want to do anything but write"

Officials Preparing Exhibits for the
Chicago Fair.
Everything is activity at the headquarters
OF the Worlds Fair Commissioners as the
day for the opening Of the great Colum bian

A CALL reporter visited Secretary Wells
in his Office yesterday, and that gentleman
Interrupted the food Of business while he
gave a short resume Of affairs as they stand.
Said lie: Our energies just at present
are chiefly devoted to arranging with the
railroad companies for a special rate of
trans DOTtatiCn. So far they have refused to
comply with the request, but the object is
worth fighting for. l understand that Flor
ida is to Lave her horticultural exhibit trans
ported free. and 1t seems unjust that Cali
fOrnia shOuld be placed at a disadvantage.
Washington was accorded the privilege OF
reduced rates on the Northern Pacific. lint
the other roads objected and prevented the
Northern carrying out It's good Intentions.
They got around It, however, by presenting
the Commissioners Of the Washington ex-
hibit with $40 900 in cash.

by the 25lh Of next month and have notified
all exhibitors to have their goods packed up

able matters will be left over until the last
moment in order TO avoid any danger to
them from The cold weather now prevalent
in the East. Every precauton is being
taken TO insure the safe transportation on
the way.
There are a number Of salamanders in
the frozen California building at present
thawing 1t out. BY the time the first car
load reaches the grounds we hope to have
the interior dry and warm.
1T Is very encouraging 10 hear that the
Legislature has finally appropriated the
$4,000 Tor the publication Of a book on the
resources OF California. We expect to have
100000 copies Of the work printed and the
entire edition will be distributed among
visitors 10 the fair"

closer proximity to the central committee.

from this Stale to arrange the moving of
their present headquarters in the Flood
building TO Chicago. It is not intended,
though, TO close the Office in this city right
away, and perhaps the Commissioners may
decide TO keep permanent branch open
here.
The rooms that they have now will be
vacated soon, however, and room 70 in the
same building used instead. The date for
moving has not yet been definitely settled.

MUST SLEEP OUTSIDE.
Weary Wanderers Who Lack Nightly
ReStinp.PiaCe.

Since the change made by the directors of
the Christian Union Mission in allowing
only those who present work tickets to re-
ceiye the benefits of the mission many poor
and deserving men are required to roam
about the streets at night and find shelter
as best they can.
Before the mission had started In its good
work many of the unfortunates received
shelter at the City Prison. But now there
is no room for them there. The tank where
many of them were formerly quartered IS
occupied by Chinese murderer, and all the
other cells are well filed every night.
Many Of the men have turned back to
their old haunts, and every night they can
be seen in Union square and Chinatown
Sleeping off the effects of Chinese gin.
Many have been fortunate enough to dig up
the required 10 cents to put up in the Sal
walton Army overnight.
For the last few nights the barracks have
been so crowded that many men are turned
away every night.
The police have arrested a few of the I'M
fortunates and charged them with vagrancy,
but that is better for them than wandering
the streets at night with an empty stomach.
