For years some manufacturers have

One of the most useful devices exhibited
at The fair is by Mrs. Elizabeth Sloper, who
made many friends here as representa-
tive of THE CALL. The device is patent

ties for window cleaning that no other
thing of the kind has ever given. The
simplicity of the affair and the cheapness
with which it can be put in are also feat
ures in its favor. Mrs. Sloper has received
much praise from visitors to the fair for
her exhibit.

The Arrest of Tramp for
Giving a Red Man
Liquor.
dulged in the Offense Become
Alarmed.

FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 26-There is con-
siderable complaint here over the furnish
ing of liquor to Indians, many of whom
are down from the mountains engaged in
picking grapes. The Indians have often
been seen on the streets here in a more or
less drunken condition, and despite all
efforts of the police it cannot be learned
where they get the "firewater."
Two or three saloons which were sus-
pected have been closely watched without
success. 1t is known that the Indians
obtained their whisky in the saloons in the
Chinese quarter. Yesterday a tramp by
the name of John Farrell was caught in
the act of giving an Indian flask of
whisky.
He was arrested, and to-day his exami-
nation was held. The Indian testified
that he had given Farrell 81 to buy 50
cents worth of whisky, Farrell retaining
80 cents for his trouble. The witness stated
that this is one way in which the Indians
obtain liquor in this city. They pay some
white man to go to saloon and buy it for
them. Farre's case was taken under adj
visement. The Indians have had no
trouble in securing liquor at the wineries
in the colonies. A few days ago, however,
the winery owners became alarmed, as the
authorities were making investigations,
and since then they have abided by the
law

.BERKELEYS NEW COACH,
Frank ButterWOrth'S Arrival a
Stimulus to the STAN
ford Team.
Musical Members Of the University
Clubs Are Rehearsing for
THANKSGIVING.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
26.-Eyery scrap OF information regarding
Berkeley's coach, Frank Butterworth, has
been eagerly devoured and much discussed
to-day at the university. Football men
here have great admiration for last year s
fullback of the Yale team, and the opinion
is unanimous that if Butterworth is as
good coach as he is player the Stanford
team will have task on hand next
Thanksgiving.
The news of .Butterworth's arrival will
tend to make the men work harder down
here than they have been doing here
tofore From now on there will be an in
creased anxiety to hear the announce
ment regarding Stanford's coach, which
will be made soon by Manager Eaton. He
states that the only reason he has for
kee ping the coach's name secret is the
personal request of the gentleman him
self. AS has been stated, the general
opinion of the students is that Stanford s
coach last year is Stanford's coach this
season, but nothing official has been given
and every one is in the dark.
The men turn out regularly each evening
for practice, and put up quite creditable
game for SO early III the season. The chief
fault is high running and carelessness III
following the ball, but Captain Cochran
SAYS he does not expect perfection all at
once, and is patiently getting the men in
fir shape for hard work. Students turn

Forty-six men have been supplied with
football suits, which gives an idea of the
number playing. Thirty or more men
turn out each evening, and as yet no one
has suffered the slightest injury on the
field. Thus far the old players have not
been seen as often as is expected. This
they will do when the training table starts
up. Code, however, who played quarter
for Stanford in 1872 and '93, is hard at work
for his old place, and shows up finely in
his tackling and interference. Fickert is
another veteran who never misses prac-
tice game, but works faithfully every
evening.
The banjo, guitar, glee and mandolin
clubs, together with the orchestra, have
begun rehearsing for the big entertain
ment to be given next Thanksgiving even
ing. To-day the names of the orchestra
were announced as follows:
First violins-P. Abbott, J. Abbott and
Anderson; second violins-Dulley and
Klaubee; cello, Dudley: flute, Rice: clar-
ionet, Bell cornet, Van Norden; from
bone, James: drums, Pinkham. Cormick,

Next Friday evening the executive COM
mlttee of the Tennis Club will hold meet
ing, the purpose being to arrange for
tennis tournament. This will be the open
ing tournament of the year, and will settle
the question as to the identity of STAN

water route that traverses the northern
portion of the State, as, until they made the
trip, they had no idea of, the traffic-bearing
capacities of the Sacramento River and
had no conception of what splendid
waterway it could be made with the ex-
penditure of but paratively nominal
sum, as but little dredging would be re-
quired.
The majority of the work Will be the
manufacture of a series of wing dams and
the removal of snags, stumps and few
other distractions. They state that the
river in its present condition is a standing
menace to all transportation facilities and
declare that they will do their utmost to
secure proper appropriations to make it
what it should be-the great artery of traf-
tic of the entire section through which it
flows.
On the trip down, Major Hener, United
States Government engineer in charge of
the work OF removing obstruction, gave
practical demonstration of the nature of
the work under his charge by having one
of the Kanakas in his employ dive into the
river and place a charge of explosives
under stump. The Seller then retired to
safe distance and the explosives were
discharged, totally obliterating the OBJ
srructlon and throwing tons of water into
the air.
large tree that had foated down and
had become lodged upon a sandbar was
also removed from its restiEg-place to the
river bank, this latter operation consum-
ing but five minutes. During their stay
in Redding the party visited the Mountain
Copper mine, and were greatly astonished
at the prospective wealth and richness of
the ore, of which it is estimated over $780,
600 tons are in sight. They also investi-
gated the fruit interests of this section,
and state that they are fully satisfied that
when the river has received needed i'm
provement, it will become the means of
transportation for millions of pounds of
freight yearly, as they consider that the
resources of this section will in a very
short period of time develop into i'm
mense proportions.
In all, the trip consumed thirty-six
hours, the party being compelled to join
the boat at Tehama, instead of at Red
Bluff, as was their original intention, the
Seller being unable to reach the latter city,
having grounded upon sandbar.

A Bullet In His Thigh Extracted
After a Period Of Over
Thirty Years.


SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 26.-samuel
KINGSTON, well-known Grand Army man
of this city, yesterday removed a bullet
from wound in his left leg that he had
carried for nearly thirty-three years. The
wound, which was in the thigh just below
the hip joint, was received on December
-, 1862, when the army of General Burn
side stormed the heights OF Fredericks-
burg. The bullet, which was very large
one from MIME rifle. entered the fleshy
part of the leg and partially fattened on
the bone, but could never be found, al
though it was often probed for by sur
geons. Many years ago this wound healed
up and gave no trouble till few weeks
ago. when it became infamed and swollen
and yesterday the bullet was found just
under the skin. 1t was then easily re-
moved. The place from which the bullet
was extracted is considerably below where
it first entered
