ambitious to rescue his paper from the
insidioas position of the worst edited and
least reliable of the New York dailies and
make it take the first rank in the metrop-
oils. An undertaking of such magnitude,
of course, must take all the proprietor's
time and thought. Reports from New
York have it that Mr.. Hearst is already
making his presence felt in newspaper
circles there. He took from the Examiner
the cream of his staff-managing editor,
writers and artists-and since his advent
in the East has gathered around

course, his San Francisco paper having
taken second place in his mind, suffers
from the change, but men cannot be on
both sides of the continent at once, and it
is not surprising that Mr.. Hearst chooses to
expend the best of his resources on his
larger venture, even to the detriment of
the journal in which he used to take SO
much interest.

lionaire's affections is most clearly mani

When w. R. Hearst, now the proprietor
of the New York Journal, was citizen
and resinent of San Francisco. the Exami-

personal supervision of the proprietor. and
naturally he insisted on some degree of
accuracy among his employees. Since Mr..

On more than one occasion he travelled
from West Virginia to Cincinnati on
horseback, crossing frozen rivers and
preaching wherever he went. He came as
far west as Illinois, which was considered
good deal further west in the forties
than it is now.
1t was in the forties that Alexander
Campbell published the "Harhinger,"
which was open to the discussion of any
Christian theme. In its pages he entered
into discussion with the famous inhdel,
Robert Owen. The "Harbinger" ran to
forty large volumes, and it is still pre-
served intact in a number of theological
libraries. Campbell had many followers,
and to-day his views are still gaining ad-

Rev. R. NJ. Campbell is a tall, dark
young man, very earnest in his manner
and full of enthusiasm and energy for his
work. He is advanced in his views and
firmly believes in the good that can be
wrought by an institutional church. II
am heartily in accord with our brother
Gardener of the Westside church in that
respect" he said yesterday. 1.-The church
must be brought home to the lives of the
people. In Boston and other cities of the
East the institutional churches, which
various denominations have started, have
been most successful. Eventually think
it will revolutionize church work, that all
the churches will have an institutional
phase. They will be forced to it in the
cities, though the idea may take longer to
develop in the country"
Over the prospects for mis- own WORK in
tins City Mr.. Campbell is enthusiastic.
He has no hope of doing anything in the
institutional way Immediately, but it is his
object in short time to get each member
of his flock to take an active part and re-
sponsibility in the church work. The
various societies have already begun to
work with zeal. The Woman's Board of
Missions and the Christian Endeaver So
cieties have taken hold with will and the
Ladies' Aid Society is also doing some
original work.
For instance, every Thursday at noon a
15-cent lunch is provided, and a large pro-
portion of the church members are get

AWKWARD STATEMENT TO EXPLAIN.
HOPES OF THE DEFENSE BUILT UPON THE
BELIEF THAT THE VERDICT CAN Now BE
LEGALLY IMPEAcHED.

In the article, which embraced some of
the false interview, appears this statement:
In order to protect the sanctity of the de-
hoeratlons OF the jury, no juror is allowed to
1mpeach his own verdict; in other words, he is
NOT allowed to make any affidavit or give any
testimony which would tend to upset the YER
dict of the jury
There is, however, nothing to prevent Dur
rant swearing Information and belief"
that Juror Smyth actually did visit the church
ana make the suggested test. In the absence

would be obliged to grant q new trial on the
showing of Durrant's affidavit
Ii Durrant said he believed an Examiner
interview such as that, he might be re-
buked for trif1ing with the court, but it
could have no other effect.
Juror Smyth made no secret visit to the
church, as the Examiner interview
implied

The report that Tom Kileys sprinter
George F. Smith had died at Albuquerque
lacks verification.
George Wheelock risked dollar or two
on Pronto's chances.
Bookmaker Walter took a $1,000 bet on
Contribution at even money from Abe
Levy. The same bookmaker laid $500
against $1,000 on Lucky Dog. Abe Levy
also had a portion of this bet, and as the
Chicago bookmaker won some other good
bets he must have had very swell day.
Montalvo hit himself, cutting his quar-
tiers badly, in the steeplechase Tuesday,
which accounted for his poor showing at

crowded last night that several people had
to turn away disappointed at not being
able to get seat The upper gallery was
reserved for ladies and every seat was oc-

The attraction was match between John
Riordan, champion of the coast, and Pat
rick I. Donnelly, amateur champion, and
James c. Nealon and r. F. Bonnet. 1t
was expected that a splendid contest for
supremacy would be witnessed from the
fact that Nealon and Bonnet defeated the
two champions last Sunday and the ex-
pectation was fully realized
Eight games were PLAYED, Riordan and
Donnelly having six to their credit and
Nealon and Bonnet two. The games were
remarkable for the extraordinarily fine
tossing displayed by the four contestants.
Donnelly distinguished himself by tossing
forty-one consecutive aces, feat unpar-
alleled .on this coast and probably in the
United States. Nealon also made the re-
markable score of thirty tn rec consecutive
aces.

George W. McMillon of Friar's Hill
Greenbrier County, West Virginia, is about
40 years old, end has the gift of remem-
brance wonderfully developed He remem-
bers everything he ever knew or read. He
can, off hand recite the names, birthdays,
hours of death, maiorities, and the closest
regular order; can recite poems of 5000
words without missing a word; can re-
count the details of every visit he has made
in his life; can name all the persons he has
met in two weeks, and every word every
one of them said, and can quote chapter
after chapter OF the Bible. One of his most
interesting feats is the repetition of every
Woro OF marriage ceremony which he
heard when he was q, and which united a
girl who was his sweetheart to another
man. 1t is said that this ceremony was the
