SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,

The people of the Middle States live in fear
of their lives, either from freezing, burning up
or being killed by cyclones. There is but one
sensible thing for them to do and that is to
come to California-Northern California
where all is peace, prosperity, flowers and SUM-
shine, with no thought of cyclones or frost.
Here in Northern California the bees are hum
ming and the birds are singing, editors get
rich and everybody is happy Petaluma

INTERNATIONAL YACHTING.
Yesterdays Races Very Ungatisiaotor!

oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 26.-The race
between the Spruce ~ and the Ethel
wynn, which was sailed today on the
Sound, off this place, ended in a very
unsatisfactory manner. Sailing one
round, six miles, Mr.. Fled, the Yankee,
decided that he would not continue the
journey, because the wind was so strong
and the sea so choppy that the condi-
tions were not hose in which a half
rater should sail. Nevertheless, the
Spruce continued and covered the entire
distance, despite the wind and sea. When
the Ethelwynn quit she was eight min
utes and fifty-eight seconds behind. The
action of Mr. Fled in giving up the race
cccasloned many uncomplimentary re-
marks
Today's race, which was over course
of three miles to leeward and turn and
repeat, or u miles in all, was the third
of the series, each boat having won one
before. The cup will be given to the
yacht which wins the best three out of
five. There was blowing all day a hard
wind for such small craft, its velocity
ranging from 10 to Is knots an hour
Just before crossing the line at the
start a slight collision occurred between
the yachts. The Ethewynn had come
about on the starboard tack while jock
eying for position and expected that the
Spruce, which was very close to her,
would do the same. The Spruce held on
to the port tack, however, and the Ethel
wynn ran into her stern with blow
that was not more than Craze. The
Spruce at once displayed the protest
flag, but the committee could do no more
nan represent that they would consider
it and ordered the yachts to proceed
MIR. Field and the helmsman back of the
Ethelwynn did not know at that time
that they had been protested, and when
they learned the fact on coming ashore
they were much surprised. Both assert
that they were in the right, having been
en- the starboard tack and they having
the right E way when the collision hap
pened.

.1LIBI NOT PROVED
Durrant's Defense Receives a
Setback.
KEYSTONE cRUMBLED AND FELL
DR.. Cheney Could not Remember
That Durrant was at the Lee
tures-Sheriff Ordered to
Clear the Corridors.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S-The keystone
in the arch of Durrant's a.ibi crumbled
and fell today. The witness upon whom
the attorneys for the defense depended
most to sustain their contention that
Durrant was attending a lecture at the
Cooper Medical College at the hour when
Blanche Lamont was murdered gave
disappointing testimony. Instead of tes-
tifying that Durrant was present at the
lecture, as Attorney Deuprey said DIR.
Cheney would do, the doctor slid he had
no recollection of seeing the young man.
To offset this reverse, the defense made
but one point, admission as an exhibit
of the rolQ call book at the college in
which Durrant was recorded present at
the lecture given on the afternoon or
April 3. The prosecution holds the roll
call book in little esteem, from the fact
that 1t will pace witnesses on the stand
to prove that Durrant frequently ask2d
his classmates to answer to his name
when he was absent and that they COM
piled with his request.
The crush in the corridors at the
entrance to the court room was greater
today than upon any day since the trial
began. Men and women fought for ad-
mission while the sheriff and score Of
deputies struggled as desperately to keep
the crowd back. Judge Murphy summon
ed the sheriff and ordered him to clear
the corridors. If the sherff's force was
insufficient the judge said he would can
upon the chief of police for squad OF
men to execute the order.
Dr. w. F. Cheney, of the Cooper Med
ical College, who was supposed to be
the Inainstay of the defense, said the
lecture on April began,at 8 O'Clock and
lasted until 415 at the close of which
the roll was called. The witness did
not know whether Durrant was present
or not, as the roll was called by DR.. f.
p. Gray. DR.. Cheney was temporarily
excused and DR.. Gray summoned. DR..
Gray did not know whether Durrant was
present or not, but assumed that he was
from the fact that he was not marked
absent on the roll call.

been stored. Five or ten pounds of this

exploded and the conclusion set off the
remainder Of the powder. A terrific shock
caused the dirt to block the stope and
the men could not get out and six OF
them slowly smothered to death. Vol
