.Why Government at All ?"
BY W. H. VAN ORNUM.

The latest contribution to the lit
erature of social philosophy. Orig
inal in design and execution, clear
and forceful in style; logical in
argument, and startling in its con-
illusions. 1t is a powerful arraign-
ment of all forms of human govern
ment and politics, and shows that
their evils are Inherent in them
selves, and can never be reformed
away. 1t finds that the law is al
WAYS the instrument of injustice
that without the law, no consider
able injustice is possible.
The author finds the remedy for
all the ills of society in the abolition
of the law, and shows that this may
be accomplished easily, quickly and
peacefully while still observing the
forms of law: in fact, that cit is
easier to destroy all law than to
amend any law in any essential par
ticular." 36S pages pages, includ-
ing full index. Half leather, 81 so;

in the senate. Senator PETER has
selected as clerk to his committee

The committee of which he is chair

clerkship of senate committee, al
though there have been instances
where senators have employed their
wives as private secretaries.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is. Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
qires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors
have 50 much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Stanford, as Will b. remembered, was beaten

Berkeley was fairly conquered on the football
field in 1892 by the Stanfordites. Last season

The lady's bicycle was first shown in England
in 1881. Ii failed to "take" however. until six
years later QSS7), when it was introduced in
Washington, d. c., Mrs. W. L. Smith, then OF
that city, but now of New York, having the honor
of being the first lady bIeyelist in this country.
There were hardly dozen of them sold the first
year, and but very few more the next, but last
year, owing mainly 10 the introduction of the
pneumatic tire they became immensely popular
and have been gaining devotees daily ever since.
Pauline Hall, the actress, was one of the first
wheel. 1t not only proved great card in her
case, but also drew attention to the bicycle as
well, ana thus served double purpose.
In England, strange 10 say, the success of the
ladies' bicycle has not been very pronounced,
the Englishwomen still seeming to prefer the
tricycle., which the girls of America long since
voted clumsy, awkward and out of date, and
which has been shelyed as a back number. In
England, however, the roads are so universally
good that the three-wbeeed machines can be
used with impunity, while here in America they
are so universally bad that the "trike'' could
not nudge in many places where the safety is
in general use.
There are many ladies In California who ride
the bicycle. and their number is constantly i n
creasng. Both the San Francisco Bicycle Club
ana the Alameda Bicycle Club and Athletic
Club have ladies' annex. On this side of the
bay, however, the ladi do not seem to be very
clannlsn, and but very few riders belong to the
annex. In fact, ladies' bicycle clubs do not
seem 10 thrive very we'll. So of tb- thousands

Although young in years athetlcay, the
Leland Stanford Jr. University at Palo Alto
has among Its students of to-day some of the
most iromlslng athletes Of any OF the colleges
or athletic Institutions Of the Pacific Coast.
and should the university advance proportion
ately with The past year in al-rOund athletics,
it is toleably safe 10 predict that the field cry
of Stanford will be heard in the very near
future proclaiming victory on many fields of

courage into feeble hearts are determined 10

Owing TO the fact that the collegians were
handicapped by not having properly con-
slucted grounds upon which 10 exercise for
field events, the wonderful Improvement they
have made in the past year is an excellent line
TO draw from when predicting what their future
on the ci2ders and turf will amount TO.
