1t now transpres that the vacation trip
of the football team TO Portland, Seattle
and Tacoma may not take place as ar
ranged. The expense of such Il trip would
be heavy, and under the most favorable
circumstances would scarcely be more
than equaled by the receipts. This. how

valid objection if the returns from the big
game had been as large as was expected.
The gate receipts have not Yet all been
counted up and divided, but present in-
dica,ions point Ia a very small surplus
when all outstanding bills are paid. This
means that the athletic treasury will be
empty and more than empty before next

of hard rustling to obtain money enough

HOW TO STUDY GEOGRAPHY.
Useful Hints Thrown Out in Regard
to This important Subject.
Goidthwaite's Magazine.

Goidthwate's Magazine.
Most countries owe their Importance to
the fact that they produce something that
mankind uses in one way or another.
Study the productions, at least the most
i'm nportant ones, and also give the reasons
why certain countries have certain pro-
ductions and not others. This will bring
in matters Of temperature, rainfall, eleva-
ton, latitude, nature of soil, etc. =; and the
children will see why they are required to
learn these facts. and they will seem reali-
ties.
Find out what other countries have the
same productions, and which produce the
greater amount. with causes, etc. Many
of the teachers would astonish their pupils
by asking them why the United States
produces large quantities of corn, while
England produces none, or why the coasts
of Mexico have productions different from
the inland regions, or why Russia is
an xious to get control of ConstantinOple,
etc.
But the use of country does not depend
alone upon what it can produce: it also de-
pends upon its advantages for sending
away what Is not used at home, and also
for getting the products of other countries
which 1t does not have. The study of this
question will involve the proximity of a
country to the seacoast its naviga bic rivers.
railroads. canals. ETC., thus bringing out
the vital points and showing their import
ance. sThe pupils are thus learning the
facts as means to an end, and not as
large assortment of dry, disconnected ends.
ASK them If they would rather live in
Mexico than England. aud why? Always
whyp Interesting and animated debates
may often te carried on in this way.

IN A QUANDARY.
A Woman Who Couldn't Remember
How They Sold Tobacco.
New York Telegra


A tall woman. with lustrous black eyes and
beautiful complexion, wearing a seal cape
and some expensive jewelry. walked nervOusly
back and forth in front OF a Main street cigar
store shortly after o'clock last evening. She
ciasped and unclasped her hands nervously,
and was evidently very much worried about
something or other.
Men who passed along looked curiOusly at
her, but no one ventured to speak. Finally. a
benevolent-looking man with close-cropped
gray wniskers came along, He looked at the
woman and passed on. Before he had gone
half block he almost stopped walking. Then
he did stop, and then he turned and came back
to the woman.
Madam" he said politely. "you seem TO be

She bushed scarlet In the glare OF the elec-

sir"
"There, there. madam" said the benevolent
looking man. soothingly, "calm yourself. Do

THE COLLEGE GAME.
Stanford Teams Will Probably Not
Play Again This Year.

The apathy which has seized upon the
athletic life of the universities since the in
tercollegiate football contest is az re-
markable as the excitement which pre-
ceded it. The football season is over.
The pigskin has been slowed away
and shln-guards. nose protectors. aankle-
protectors, jerseys and the rest have
been relegated to nine months of obscurity
anG neglect Two things were especially
unfortunate in the grand finale of the foot
ball season of 1898. One was the abomin-
able weather which prevailed on Thanks
giving day and for week previously, to-
gether with the equally abomnable condi-
tpn OF the groun ds. ana the other was the
unsatisfact ory nature of the tie score
which. as the referees whistle sounded
the close of the game, told the thousands
of eager partlsanS that they must wait a,
least another year before the great cues.
tion OF football supremacy can be settled
even for time.
1t dampens the ardor not little to see
three months preparatory training bear no
definite result, favorable or otherwise,
while it gives TO neither college eli her the
enthusiastic confidence of the victor or
the desperate determin alton of the van
Quisbed.
The game between the freshmen elevens
of the two universities has been indefi-
pitelv postponed. The Berkeley fresh
men class has several representatives on
the varsity, while the Stanford class has but
one. So that the proposition Of the U. c.
that that game be allow ed to settle the tie
between the varsity teams did not meet
with much favor at Palo Alto. 1t would
have been absolutely impossible to put the
Stanford freshmen eleven in condition to
play match game yesterday, as not more
than five have done any steady training.
The receipt of the news that the Berke-
lev freshmen were training daily under

OLDEST LABORORGANIZATION
1t Was Started in London Away Back
in the Thirteenth Century.

In London there is a quaint old organi-
zation known as the Fellowship of Free
Porters. 1t was organized some time in
the thirteenth century. and for nearly 900
years its members had the monopoly OF
the discharging Of grain from boats CON-
ing up the Thames. A century ago the
organization had $500 members. with sur
plus which in 1852 grew to 9S1, 600.
The construction of docks and the ab0li-
tion of metage, or measurement OF corn,
destroyed the prosperity of the fellow
ship. 1t has been languishing for seve raj
years, and refuses to die because no pro-
vision has been made for the disposal ot
lis funds. An arrangement has been made
recently whereby the funds are to be dis.
'tributed, and meanwhile each mem ber is
to be paid 10 shillings a week.

obliged to spend fifteen Christmas
days in the wilds OF Africa. Others
have been spent at sea, some In America,
Turkey. Crete, Spain. Jerusalem, all un-

l have experienced in Britain. Most of
these days have found me in the midst of
some adventure far removed from the pud-
ding and other delicaeies of the season
which form ;hs theme and delight of Brit

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.
Game at PetaIuma To-Day Between
Fort Masons and Wanderers.

Fort Masons and Wanderers.
The Pacific Association Football League
will transfer the scene of its activity to
Petaluma to-day, where an international
football game between the Fort Masons.
representing America. and the Pacric
Wanderers, representing England, will
take place.
The game was arranged several weeks
ago by the league to serve as an educa-
tional exhibition to the California public
of how football can be made artistic and
scientific. and enjoyed as a healthy and
manly paStime, free from the opportunities
10 injury and the brutal features character
iZing the intercollegiate game, in which
the mental miracle has been performed by
its Originators of ipveptlng game of foot
ball in which the ball is seldom kicked.
The leagues propaganda this season will
embrace a series of games in the outside
towns adjacent TO San Francisco, and the
game to-day at Petauma will set the tall
a-rOlling.
The association game has made rapid
strides in public favor. and especially
among the army posts of San francisco,
just in the same way as II has IN tie Brit
ish army, where the playing of the game
is sanctioned by the British War Office.
and is played extensively by the various
British regiments, who all have their crack
teams.
The army team of Fort Mason contains
some of the finest exponenIs of the ass0-
citation game on the coast, and the inter-
national idea was hit u pon in order 10 add
some spice TO the contest.
America will be represented by Uncle
Sans boys from the fort. while the honor
and Iedit of the tight little isle will be up
held by the Pacific Wanderers. the plouee r
club of the league, whose aggregation is
made up of represen tatives from the diff
ferent sections of the British Isles.
Both teams have been doing considera BILE
preparatory work for the contest, and Will
enter the struggle in good shape. Captain
Wilson has been drilling the fort men in
combination plays, and the Wanderers
will have TO put their best foot foremost il
they mean to win.
The teams will leave the city at $50 by
the Dopahue line, which is running a
special train for the occasion, and as both
teams will be accompanied by their imme-
diate followers and the usual quota of foot
ball enthusiasts. large crowd is expected
to journey to Petaluma to witness the
struggle.
The teams selected for the contest to-
day are as follows:
