Heilbron of the Concordia, San Diego.
Both were experts. but Miss Heilbron, a
charming young lady in appearance, gave
as inc an exhibition of club swinging as
has ever been seen in the city. and was
enthusiastically applauded.
The fencing contests were quite pro-
longed and brought out some skilled
swordsmen, H. NJ. Alpen of San Fran
cisco and Fritz Steinike and Adolph
Brauer of Los Angeles being particularly
noticeable. Others who engaged in this
contest for points were W. Feldkamp of
San Francisco, Jacob Schreiber of Los
Angeles, Adolph Greub of Oakland, II.
Woerner of the Eintracht Verein, San
Francisco.
The evening was greatly enjoyed by the
audience and expressions OF appreciation
of the muscular young Americans were
frequent. The boys had not cold crowd
by any means.
In the shooting contests yesterday, at
che German twenty ring target, John
Hauerwaas scored 80: T.. II. Leighton,
So. and Emil Harris, 80.

Ancient Funeral Customs

The London Spectator has very inter-
esting article on animals in Pageants."
1t says: in England the military
funeral is the only pageant in which the
horse appears without it's rider. The
custom is probably ancient beyond rec
ord, the horse having been led TO the
tomb and there killed for the use of it's
rider in the next world. In the tomb of
Childeric, father of Clovis. the skeleton
of his warhorse was found, with hun
dreds of small gold ornaments which had
decorated it's harness in the funeral pro-
cession. But the impressive custom now
in use at the military funeral, when the
charger follows the body to the grave,
with the boots hanging reversed on either
side seems to be a modern revival of an
ancient custom.
I'm Tudor times the horse or horses of
the dead soldier followed the body, but
without the silent appeal of the empty
saddle. AT the funeral of Sir Philip Sid
ney, for example, imm ediately following
the car came his horse for the field, or
charger, led by an esquire and ridden by
one of his pages, who trailed a broken
lance. His barbed horse" for state oc-
casions, covered with cloth of gold, also
followed, led by u second esquire, and
ridden by page IN full dress, who car
ried in his hand a battle-ax reversed.
Here is. perhaps, the origin of the curious
custom OF reversing the boots, unless
both are associated with the old classical
symbol of death, the inverted torch"

The OIeomargine Bill.

Governor Budd having given notice
that he would hear the arguments of those
interested in the bill TO prevent the aduI-
teration of butter and cheese, a large
number were present in his office yester-
day to be heard on the question.
Mr.. Lilienthal appeared on behalf of
the Refining Company which furnishes
fats for the manufacture OF oleomargarlne
and advanced his reasons against the pas
sage of the bill.
Senator McAllister replied to him.
showing the injury the placing of oleo-
margarine on the market had done to the
dairy interests.

this State to use the Armour patent for
the production of filled cheese, appeared

dairyman.

Mr.. Martin OF Sonoma said that in years
past Heggl Ter might have MIXED cows:
latterly he had been trying to milk the
dairy interests.
Assemblyman Price of Sonoma spoke
on the subject of the appropriation. saw
ing that II any of these objections had
been raised in the House the bill would
have been passed almost unanimously.
The opponents of the BILL he said, had
tried to raise the appropriation to $40, 900
IN order to defeat the bill. The appropri-
alton was in favor of the Dairvmen's s
Association, which had prosecuted Of
tenders at a cost of $500 and secured only
50 fine, and could not afford to continue
long on that line.

cannot see why they should not be al
lowed to come in as heretofore and show

life has become a burden to him, as they
cannot be convinced that the gate eepers
must exclude them, and must see him and
have the fiat confirmed by his lips. AS
natural consequence he is losing flesh,
as his flrmness in enforcing the rule does
not endear him to the ladies, who have
hitherto been loud in praise of his cour-
tesy and cannot see why he should not
let them in lust this once" The mem

IRRATIONAL REPARTEE.
Too Much Indulgence In the Light an9
F1ippant Tone.


While it NAV be counted distif ~
commendable trait in the enlightened
human being to wish to be held by 9TH
ers at what he knows to be his own
value, it is also true that this symptom
has lately manifested a certain morbid'
ness bearing the same relation to it's
sounder manifestation that irritation
does to normal constituencies This
morbid trait has been defined by re-
cent writer as nothing else than
''preposterous alertness; an apparent

The first and worst result Of this PEI
culiar epidemic is the reduction of ra-
tional conversation to process OF
repartee. If, proportionately, the
same time and strength were applied
by single European nation in keep
ing up their armaments as some OF the
victims of the complaint waste in try
ing to be perpetually ready for their
interlocutor, conquest of the entire
continent would be comparatively
easy There are people of whom one
can not ask what o'clock it is without
their feeling it a necessity to reply In
an epigram, instead of simple half
past one.'
OF course this is an extreme case;
but there are people all about us with
whom rational talk on any subject IL

the companion of one of these vic-
tins is apt to encourage the thing in
spite of himself. 'If a man will fence,
or play checkers, or match coins
with you Gest you may think he
can't do it) instead of getting at
what you both want, human ma
ture can not always refrain from
taking an interest in the game,
even to your own subsequent annoy
ance." We should not advise persons
who find their regard for their interlo-
cutor's opinion in this irritated condi-
ton to sadden conversation by solemn
ly asking themselves, upon every
temptation to repartee, whether on the
whole their intelligence might not be
equally proved by speaking simply to
the subject in hand. The natural inn
