TEARING HIMSELF AWAY
Capt. Charlie" Loeffler rendered
Banquet by Knights Templar.
He Is Soon to Leave Washington for dis
Future Home in Detroit-Eloqusnt
Goodbye Speeches.

Capt. Charles C. NJ Loeffler, OF the
Washington Light Infantry, who is soon
to leave Washington to make his home
at Detroit, Mich, was rendered last night
an elegant banquet at the Philadelphia
Oyster House, No. 513 Eleventh street
northwest, by his knights Templar friends
and comrades.
The rooms were very attractive with
decorations Of palms, ferns, lilies AID
other plants and flowers. The table
service was elegant, and the menu pre-
sented many tempting viauds.
The affair was under the direction OF
De Molay Commandery, knights Temp
lar, of which Mr.. Loeffler is past COM
mander. After an informal social chat
the company sat down at 8 O'Clock, and
after doing justice to the bill of fare Mr..
z. G. schaefer, who acted as master Of
ceremonies, arose, and in a happy address
started the toasts.
The speeches were full of regret at parting
and kind expressions for Capt. Loeffler's
success in his new field.
Among those who spoke were Messrs.
George A. Emmons, W. 7. Galliher, Thomas
Somerville, ST., Harrison Dingman, ALI
son Nailor, jr., j. NJ. Ford, Z. B. Otter
beck ,and Gus Daetz.
Mr.. Dingman provoked continued laugh
ter, and Mr.. Emmons, after dash of
humor at the outset, paid an eloquent trib-
ute, which ELECTED hearty applause. Mr..
Schaefer added a bit of fun as each new
speaker was called on.
AT the close Mr.. LOeffler made warm
hearted acknowledgment of the kind things
spoken of him by his fellow Sir knights.
Washington, he said, was his birthplace,
and he had spent his life here. The hOspi-
tality and good fellowship of the town
We're proverbial.
He could not expect, he said. TO find
their equal elsewhere. ButIetthe Michigan
people have what social qualities they
might and receive him as kindly as his dear
est friends here had just been wishing him,
he doubted if ever his heart could 20 ont to
them as it did to those with whom he must
part in Washington.

He thought mans destiny was to con-
tribute to the comfort and happiness OF

some Of the geHtler sex were seeking To
reverse the order, probably from con-
seriousness Of having committed the orig
inal sin, and desire TO Pe-establish tile
Garden of Eden as a preliminary to the
millennium
He took issue with the agitators who
outlined the great results to flow from
placing the ballot in woman hands.
.'phe Nineteenth Century Man" was
brightly described by Miss Louise Grant
SsNt0n, who depicted his shortcomings
briefly, but desisted .lpon the grounds
that in such discussion she would be in-
volved In an timpenetrable forest" The
virtues OF the man OF the present age
were extolled, his ciyility, his wit, and
affabiIity.
The Nineteenth Century Man. as she
lowest to regard him, is of all nations, but

GAME LAWS,
important Decision Rendered by g
Sonoma County Judge.

Important Decision Rendered by q
sonoma County Judge.
SANTA Rosa, Jan. 2S.-Judge Dough-
erty rendered an important decision on
the game laws of this State here to-day.
1t was the case of the People VS.. Silva.
which was appealed from the Justice
Court. Silva was convicted on the charge
of violating an ordinance passed by the
Board of Supervisors, making it unlaw-
ful TO catch or kill any fish in Russian
River or its tributaries, except between
April 30th and Novem Der lst.
1t was contended by Silva that the Leg
lslature had no power to delegate it's leg
lsIatlve powers to Boards of Supervisors
TO enable them to pass such ordinances.
and that accordingly it was unconsti-
tutlonal. Numerous authorities were
quoted to sustain that view of the case,
Judge Dougherty, however, held that
the act is constitutional The power of
the County to pass such laws is clear, he
says. 1t is police power, and not in
conflict with the general laws OF the
State.
This is the first time this question has
been decided in the State, and is OF great
interest to sportsmen.

WOODLAND, Jan. 28.-A fierce wind
came sweeping down from the north
Sunday morning, and for time it look ed
as though it would make trouble for the
railroad company. The high wind set
the waves TO rolling in the tuIe basin on
the Sutter side, and about o'clock Sun
day morning word camo that the rail-
road was in danger. a force of sixty
men and a construction train was imme-
diately dispatched to the scene. From IA
point about mile and half the other
sIde OF knights Landing to the long
trestle the water was rolling in immense
waves, which struck the railroad en-
bankment with great force. The rails
and ties remained intact, but holes were
made in the grade. y large number of
sacks We're purchased in Woodland and
elsewhere and large force of men was
put to work near the Woodland depot
filling the sacks. Seven thousand sacks
OF dirt were dumped in the holes during
the afternoon and Sunday night.

The encycllcal gives special attention
to the Catholic University and accords it
the warmest papal encouragement. In
particular, the Pope speaks OF the noble
act of Father McMahon of the university
in giving the funds necessary to estab-
lish the school of philosophy. To the
university, and with view Of America s
discovery and history, a large part of the
encyCllcal is devoted.
In conclusion, the encyclical speaks of
those who dissent in matter of faith, and
hopes that they will be at length restored
to the embrace of the church. The Pope
refers to the Indians and negroes as offer
ing VIDE field for cultivation.
The encyclical closes as follows:

The Fight Which the Pacific Coast
Company Has Inaugurated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. - Manager
Evans of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company stated to-day that Fridays
rate cutting was just the beginning of a
rate war which his company proposes to
carry on so long as the opposition
steamer Farralone remains on the north
ern route.
I'VE intend to get all the business that
is to be had between San Francisco and
the Sound" SAID Mr.. Evans, land in or
der to do so l presume we will, OF course,
have to otier lower rate than the rival
service. This we are prepared to do. The
reduction, of course, only takes effect
when both the regular and opposition
boats leave here about the same time, and
Ii the latter continue in the fight cabin
passengers are likely to get accommoda-
tions to Puget Sound on our boats for
about SI0."
y steamer is also running in opposi-
ton to the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany on the Alaskan route from the
Sound, and IN consequence the rates there
have also been cut considerably.

Nuts From California

Following is an extract from New
York letter recently published in the St.
Louis Globe Democrat: California, hay-
ing proved such a rival to European vint-
ners and fruit-growers, now intends to
control the walnut market also. l refer,
of course, not to "hickcries," but to the
better varieties known as .'Grenoble. -
which include all of superior quality.
The California growers have been for
several years cultivating these varieties.
and last fall they sent $50 carloads TO
market. They are favored by the short
crop abroad, which is not much more than
one-half the average. 1t is astonishing
to see the great consumption of what may
seem to some very petty article. The
ordinary Grenoble crop is l4,OO0 bales.
and the $50 carloads from California max G
nearly 200 tons.
