A Noted Gsrman Traveller Tells Of
Univsrsity Life.
DR.. Hans Schroeder. assistant msdi-
cal adviser Of the University of Bonn,
Germany, and q man of noble lineage,
10 as the Hollsnbeck. He will leave
this morning for Santa Barbara. The
doctor is ON an extended tour Of the
world, and thus far has visited all the
principal cities OF the United States. He
arrived here yesterday from Flagstaff,
Ariz., whore he etopped to see the habi-
tations Of the cliff dwsllers.
From here he goes to San francisco.
and thence to Honolulu, Japan, China,
Australia, East India and other c0un-
tries in the fer east. He says that he
is delighted with Los Angeles and ell
that be has seen here. The flowers. tho
trees, the houses and the people are all
attractive. From the subject OF Los
Angeles he spoke OF hie impressions
generally of America. He thought pol
itics here were rather more disturbing
to the general stability Of the country
than they should be, and could not
understand, he said, how such sean.
dal a. the sugar trust could exist.
The doctor spoke of bis university life
1t some length, and referred to the
prevalence of dueling among the
students. He said it was not at all
dangerous, but somewhat uncomfort-
able at times. By way OF illustration he
showed deep scar on his cheek which
extended from mouth to ear. The scar
was nothing, however, to the scars he
carries on his head. He laughingly un-
covered his head to show how duelist
really looked. There did not seem to be
spot the size OF two-bit piece which
had not been cut open at some time. 1t
had much the appearance OF q cfszy
quilt, with the Jagged seams and outs.
The German student rather takes a
pride in these encounters, and the man
who does not become scared in battle
is not up to the standard of bravery.
The weapon most in use is the sword,
although, he said, in aggravated cases
pistols were used.
DR.. Shredder is q man OF about 80
years of age, and has the bearing and
appearance OF polished gentleman.

THE GAME IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Tennis in Southern California has had
q remarkably successful history, it being
scarcely 10 years ago since the fret club
gave their first club tournament on the
grassy courts OF the palstial grounds OF
Governor Stonsman, the association
being the outgrowth OF the successful
missionary labors OF the early apostles
OF the favorite outdoor pastime, and has
grown from the few members of 1887 to
the large and influential Nom mbership ON
its present rolls. The tournaments have
been held on the Santa Monica courts
at the Casino ever since 1887, the first
being held at Riverside, and today It
can truthfully be said that Santa Monica
is the home OF tennis in the south, -
she is OF its cousin polo.
The first club organized in Southern
California was the San Gabriel club,
having their courts in the handsome
grounds of Ex-Governor Steneman, and
was followed in tho following npring by
the Casa Blanca club OF Riverside.

This contention was based upon the
ground that the affidavit of publication
was insufficient. The supreme court
says the Judgment WAS not void on its
face; that IL contains a recital OF due
service. and that the most that can be
said about the affidavit is that it was
