Hetty Green's Hope

Santa Claus is generally regarded as q
fine old gentleman who gives everyone ex-
actly what they want. When he gambols
up to stocking he is supposed to know
the innermost desire of the owner. Some
folks have no hesitancy about telling what
they want most. Others are more diff.
dent, perhaps fearing the criticism of the
world should the secret needs of their
heart become known.
Santa Claus cannot hope to put the right
thing in the stockings of these people
unless some kind mutual friend comes to
the rescue, and to make the matter plain
this list has been prepared for the benefit
of all concerned.

General Miles hopes that Santa Claus
will authorize congress to increase the reg

Hetty Green would be greatly pleased if
she found in her Christmas stocking notice
of dozen or more new lawsuits. The
more the merrier for Hetty.

Wild Pigeons

"What became of the millions of wild
pigeons?' asks correspondent. Hunters
found their roosting places years ago, and
killed them with the poles and fed them by
wagonoads to fatten hogs, before the
young could fly. They were destroyed as
effectually as the Buffalo.

all danger will have passed. Sullivan has
been confined to his room for four days,
and on Friday night his condition was con-
sidered serious.

NEW YORK, March 24.-It was re-
ported tonight that John l.. Sullivan was
dying in Boston. Champion James, ]. Cor
bett was seen, and when told of the report
he said: ~ can hardly believe it, for I
had a telegram this afternoon that there
was no danger of his death. Poor John.
He was his own worst enemy. But with
all that, he was the best man of his time.
He was the greatest fighter in his time
| that ever lived. He is an older man than
l, and ] am content to represent my time !;
let him have all the credit for his.

that he did not know how to take care of
himself. If he had taken care of himself
he would have been as good man to-day
as ever.

out. l was glad to win, but when l saw

dition than words can express"

CHALLENGE.

John Riordan, the coast champion
climbed up the wall of the Union hand
ball court yesterday to return high ball
ball and in the effort he missed the ball
and struck the wall instead with such force
as to dislocate one of his fingers. After a
few minutes delay he pluckily continued
the game and won.
The long-looked-for match, J. Nelson
and j. Dillon of the Union court against
G. Hutchinson and J. Lawless of the San
Francisco court for $25 side, was COM
menced at the former court yesterday.
The first four of the nine games were
played and Nelson and Dillon succeeded
by fine all-round play in winning three of
the four. The concluding games will be
played at the San Francisco court next
Sunday.
Jones, the Australian champion, had
fully recovered from the neck twist he re-
ceived the previous Sunday and yesterday
played rafting game at the San Fran
cisco court, against two old-timers, Pat
Kelly and ]. Kearney. Kearney, while
playing, requires to be seen to be appre-
ciated. When returning the ball his body
assumes the most grotesque shapes, and
sometimes it is difficult for an onlooker to
decide whether he is attempting to hit the
ball with his hands or his feet. Jones de-
feated them by three games to one
At the Occidental court an exciting
match was played between ?. T. Donnelly
the amateur champion and e. Maloney
and 7. F. Bonnet and John Purcell The
two latter won by three games to two, the
concluding game standing q to 19. There
will be another magnificent exhibition of
handball at this court on Wedne sday
night, when ]. G. Nealon and 7. f. Bon
net will again attempt to defeat Cham
pions Riordan and Donnelly.
w McManus has, during the past week,
considerably improved the Union court.
He has put in an entirely new floor, con-

in their expressions of praise over the i'm

would permit.
Champion Jones is anxious to hear from

cracked until the finish and when the ref
cree announced the victory the ladies in

The relay race would have proved very
exciting feature of the days games had
there been larger number of teams en-
part were composed of tolerably good ma
terial who made the rounds of the track in
good style. The Emmett team won COM
paratively easy victory, however, owing,
possibly, to the fact that the athletes had
practiced assiduously for this particular
event.
The football game was not as interesting
as the friends OF the sport had expected.
Some of the players of the teams that were
announced to contest failed to put in an
appearance and as a result two teams were
selected from among the players at hand.
Some very excellent plays were witnessed
during the hour in which the ball was kept
moving, but interest in the contest among
the spectators was lacking because the
teams selected to contest had failed to
materialize.
The days sport on the whole was good
and much credit for the manner in which
the games were conducted is due to the
untiring efforts of ]. Donovan, g.. A.

CHINAMEN WANT a CHANGE.
They Will Ask Chief Crowley to Remove
Don Gong as a SDeciaI

Don Gong as Special.
AS has been said, 'the heather Chinee is
peculiar. Sergeant Christianson of the
Police Department is fully aware of the
fact. For several years Don Gong, a Chi
nese, has been assisting in upholding the
laws of the United States, California and
San Francisco, bat for that reason his
countrymen desire him removed.
Don Gong is slick little Chinese, who
knows the ms and outs of the dens of
Chinatown. He is paid by the city, at
Chief Crowley's suggestion, and every day
gives information to the police which
could not otherwise be obtained. His own
countrymen call him an lnformer. The
police call him a special officer. The
dodgers" look upon him as a detective.
Whether he is an informer, a special
officer or detective "cuts no ice'' with the
Six Companies nor any of the multitude
comprised in the makeup of the monopoly.
Els removal is about 70 be demanded, and
will be backed by the statement that his
mere presence in Chinatown is detriment
to business.
Some of the individuals who comprise
portion of the Six Companies have adopted
the American idea of presenting petition
to the authorities that Don Gong be re-
moved from his source of information at
once. This petition has been signed by a
AunUSI vi lHSICudIllS, anu HAS DeeH TURNED
over to the head of the organization with
the request that the same be handed the
Chief OF Police, with an official desire for
his removal.
Sergeant Christianson learned of the
movement and took trip through China
| town with the limb of the department.
Only at one place which they visited would
the paper calling for the removal of Don
Gong. Nevertheless, the petition has been
passed by the Six Companies and will be
sent to the Chief of Police this morning.
1t is not at all likely that Don Gong will
be removed, as he has proven himself of
upon as one of the most law-abiding China
| men in the colony

The black Australian mare Candid will
make strong bid in the distance races, and
with Bridal Veil and number of promis-
ing two-year-olds will complete very
formidable string. All are well entered in
the different events, and it is safe to say
they will win their share of the purses
offered.
AT the conclusion of the Los Angeles
meeting the entire string will be shipped

different rich stakes they are entered in.

lagoon, where they had been laid up in
their winter quarters.
Saturday evening quite number of the
yacht-owners went over on the last boat,

After the 9:30 A. NJ. boat arrived from

forces and proceeded to the bridge The
tackle having been bent, the word was

then sent courier over to the clubhouse
for the late corners in hopes that he would
get such strong men as Joe O'Brien. Frank
Thornton, Commodore Tangent Cusin and
Joe Tracy. When the muscular force had
arrived the attempt was again made to
raise it, but with all this additional
strength it would not give way. Then a

Big SCORES AT SHELL MOUND
THE OLD-TIMERS ARE BETTER
SHOTS THAN THE RISING
GENERATION.
He WAS SEVENTH IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO AND FIRST IN
THE GERMANIA.

The markers and scorers were kept busy
at Shell Mound Park yesterday. The San
Francisco, Germania and Norddeutscher
Schuetzen Vereins, several companies of
the infantry and a company of the Naval
Battalion were out in force.
Many good scores were made and some
of the old-timers beat the cracks of the
rising generation. Philo Jacoby was not
in as good form as usual and only sue
ceeded in carrying off the seventh prize in
the San Francisco Schuetzen Clubs bulls
eye shoot.
w. Ehzenpfort, one of the best-known of
the old-time shots, was also out yesterday.
He had his old muzzle-loader, with which
he used to win prizes thirty years ago, and
succeeded in making a very creditabie
score His right eye is not as good as it
used to be, SO he now uses his left in taking
sight After he had got the gauge of the
range and had ascertained exactly how
much powder was required for each charge,
he was able to make bullseyes with the
best of them.
The shooting of the San Francisco Verein
was particularly good. There were forty
one members out and during the afternoon
they made PAL bullseyes. The prize-win-
ners were as follows:
John Peters 81, F. CAIRNS 249, c. Thierbach
300, H. Helberg 349 F. P. Shuster 1877 J. C.
Waller 54S, P. Jacoby 5S7, John Tiedeman
625, H. Zecher GAS and Judge George H. Bahrs
667.
The Germania Schuetzen Club held a
public prize-shooting. There were fifteen
prizes for the most bullseyes and fifteen
prizes for the best centers. These ranged
from SIS down to 81 so and great interest
was taken in the contest. There were SO
many contestants that it was found impos-
sible to measure the bullseyes and eenters
last night so it was postponed until to-
