when Wolfe was up here he told the Gov
ernor that it wasn't to be much of a fight
after all, that there would be no cruelty
and all that sort of thing.
Just look at this handful, will your"
said the secretary, as be exhibited poster
OF red, green and white, the Mexican colors.
Listen to this" and the secretary pro-
ceeded TO read as follows:
The bull-hght will commence at p. NJ
each afternoon. The bull-fight will be
given in every detail, full and from start
to finish, the same as in Havana, Cuba,
Madrid, Spain and the City of Mexico
While the inhabitants of the south,
east and west are suffering from the
thermal climate, the happy residents of
the great gold mining district of Cripple
Creek enjoy the sunshine and view the
class of manly sport that is denied in all
other parts of the United States. :"
Other sentences are of an equally reas-
surfing nature to those who are figuring on
a redhot, old-fashioned bull-ight, as de-
scribed in Spanish annals.
The secretary didn't wait to personally
lay the poster before the Governor. His
Excellency was promptly telegraphed the
substance OF the secretary's discovery.
Word was received from the secretary of
the local humane society at Cripple Creek
that Sheriff Bowers had been SEEN That
official had declared that he hoped the fight
would be stopped by legal injunction. He
was going to nave 'One Saarled deputy"
on the spot and would try to stop pro-
ceedings If any cruelty was practiced.
Mice thing" remarked Secretary Thomp-
son. Zone 'salaried deputy will do lots Of
good stopping fight.
1t is considered by the officers of the
humane society that Sheriff Bowers is not
losing any great amount of sleep devising
ways and means to stop the fight.
The result OF the interview between the
secretary and the Governor, who has been
gwen to understand that the affair is to
be very tame, is awaited with interest.
Secretary Thompson will be on hand as
soon as the Governor reaches his Office this
morning.
Attorney General Carr found an act OF
1893 which he construes as giving the Gov
ernor power to prevent the exhibition
through aid of the State National Guard.
The act reads: "They Cthe National
Guard) may be ordered into active service
by the Governor to aid the civil authorities
to prevent or suppress riot" etc. There is
nothing said in the clause about request
from the Sheriff of the county The At
torney General thinks it would be q good
thing for the Adjutant General to
send two or three companies of the Ma
tional Guard to camp at Cripple Creek,
and if there is an attempted infraction of
the law the arm of the State could promptly
stop the violation.-Denver News.

Most Of the Needy Applicants
Are Too Self-Respecting
to Beg.
THE TREASURY Is VERY LOW.
In Spite of Lack of Funds an Appeal
Will Be Made for an
Emergency Home.

In view of the great restitution among
the most HELPLESS members of the poor,
namely the women and children, the Sal
walton Army intends to put forth every
effort to open home for women on the
lines of the Lifeboat, where men can OBJ
tain food and shelter for an almost nomi-
nal sum. Destitute women would be taken
in free of charge, or the charitable-minded
could supply them with tickets as the So
journers of the LIfeboat are supplied. 1t
is intended to have creche attachment to
the woman's home, in order that the
mothers may have their little ones in care
full keeping while they go out and look for
work. The place is intended more as an
emergency refuge than as permanent
home, because past experience has taught
the army that in the care of destitute
women it is temporary rather than per-
manent help that is needed.
The idea of the home only exists in the
brains of the Salvation officers at present,
but that is not a bad plan for intangible
thi ngs to materialize. Money they have
none. but they are rich in determination
and energy, and they declare that the
daily contact with the existing poverty is
stimulating all their activity Within the
next few weeks the army will have
formulated Its plan OF appeal to the San
Francisco public for help in alleviating
the poverty of so many of the city's
women and children.
1t was stated yesterday at Salvation
Army headquarters that rarely ever had
there been so much restitution as at pres
ent among the poor, who are too self-re-
speeding to beg.
The women and children are feeling the
pinch of poverty most, and the army is at
It's wits end to find means to relieve them.

SERENADED A BILLYGOAT.
Railway Musicians Delivered Their S54
Worth of Music.


The eighteen members of the Railway
IN. j. cornet band were all coughing and
sneezing last night and few of them were
squirming with rheumatism. But they
had got even with the Union County
Roadsters, and they didn't mind their
pains and aches.
The band, which is the pride of the
town, had contracted to play at the race
track in the afternoon during the Road
sters' competition. They we're to get $54
and their names were to be in big letters
on the posters. The races were preceded
by a grand parade through the town,
headed by the band, whose members were
to wear their best uniforms and blow from
bones and whang drums without any
let-up. Every musician agreed in writing
to do his level best for the money he got.
When the hour grew near for the great
musical and bicycle treat the race grounds,
owing to the rain, resembled lake. The
committee decided to postpone the affair,
and subcommittee was sent to negotiate
with the band, and make the best compro-
mise they could.
mot much!' exclaimed H. II. Voorhis,
manager of the band. Three years ago
you hired a tramp band from Hoboken,
when you could have hired US. Now we
purpose to get even. We're going to
parade anyhow, and then play at the race
grounds whether there IS any one there to
hear us or not, and we'll make you pay us
our $54.

sters. demonstrated with Mr.. Voorhis. So
did Roadsters C. r. Melich, J. Henry
Flake and William J. Drnmpleman, the
committee who hired the band. But it
was no use. The blood OF Mr. Voorhis was

OF his own.
The men of music marched through the
principal streets in the pouring rain.
Their wind instruments We're soon con-
verted into water cisterns, and the drum
got soaked and went out OF action; but
their blood being up that didn't matter.
They marched to the clubhouse on Nam
street, in accordance with the contract,
and played q serenade.
From that point they trudged through
the mud to the race field. They were wet
through. A billygoat was grazing in the
field and they began to play to him. A
few members of the club who wanted to
have good laugh came up and listened
to the music from sheltered spot There
is no roof to the bandstand The band
played Sweet Marie" and There's Only
One Girl in the World for Me- to the billy
goat, who soon fed.
Then the trombone man and the drum
mer began to cough, and they quit work.
They were joined by two other musicians
Mr.. Voorhis made all sorts of offers to
them, but they said they didn't want to
die of pneumonia and started for home.
After a half hours debate with the other
members Mr.. Voorhis ordered the organi-
cation to headquarters.
He says he will sue the Roadsters for
the S54. They say that he can do 50, but
he won't get it. Musicians and wheelmen
were on the verge of coming to blows sew
eral times over the matter.-New York

A TRUE TALE.
About Three Boys Who Were Fond OF
Icecream.

From the Chicago Record.
Three small boys who live on the North
Side have q father who was once small
boy himself-at least that is what he says,
and he ought to know.
The three small boys are abnormally
fond of icecream, a trait which they pos
sess in common with others of their kind.
A few evenings ago the family had ice
cream for dinner, and the boys petitioned
before the meal began for two dishes each.
Il know how much you like icecream,"
said their father, benevolently. 81 was
once small boy myself"
The three boys had sometimes been
skeptical on this point, but they didn't
say anything.
"When l was young" continued the
father, "my mother used to tell me that L
could have a dish of icecream for every
three slices OF bread | ate. Now I'll tell
you what I'll do. The boy that will eat
the most bread can help himself to the ice
cream and eat all he wants"
1t was an unusual opportunity, and the
three boys were filled with Joy.
In few minutes after dinner began the
bread plate was cleared and the boys,
watching one another out of the corners
of their eyes, swallowed slice after slice.
When the meal closed the eldest boy, hav-
ling the greatest capacity, was declared the
winner and his face beamed with triumph.
The idea of having all the icecream he
wanted for once in his life was a sensation
bordering on the ineffable.
The lcecream was served in three brim-
ming dishes, and every one at the table be-
gan to eat it. After taking few mouth
fuls, however, the three boys wlggled about
in their chairs, and finally laid down their
bread that they couldn't eat even one dish
full aDiece.

Origin of Billiards.

In letter dated 1850, which has been
presented to the Bibliotheque Rationale,
in PARIS, highly ingenious account is
given of the origin OF billiards. The writer
declares that billiards were invented in
England about the middle of the sixteenth
century by pawnbroker named Bill Kew.
This man, it is alleged, used in his leisure
moments to play ON his counter with the
three brass balls which he hung up as o
sign. For cue he had yard measure,
whence the term Bill-yard, or Bills yard
corrupted into billiards. This etymology
will hardly satisfy Mr.. Skeat, but it is at
least curious as showing to what length
the speculative etymologists are apt to 90.
The most astonishing thing about it, how
ever, is the fact that it is the work of a
Frenchman, who might have seen at a
glance that billiards is merely a corrup-

Secretary Thompson of the State HUI

Secretary of Agriculture at Washington

permit had been taken out to bring the
bulls into this State.
1t has been found that such importa-
ton cannot be made without orders from
the Department of Agriculture. Veter-

to, and he has promised that he will en-

ARE IN SUSPENSE.
It is Now Over a Year Since Sculptor
Schmid Took the Famous Statue
to Italy.

The uncertainty that surrounds the pres
emf whereabouts Of the Venus CT Cal;for-
MIA has startled the art-lovers of San
Francisco. Every one but the sculptor
fears that she has gone astray, that she
may, even now, be held for ransom by
some ruthless Italian brigand.
Mr.. Schmid, however, is hopeful of the
outcome, and, although he stands alone
in his continued faith in the young lady,
he is as stout as ever in maintaining faith
in her under most adverse circumstances
He admits that he has been looking for her
arrival any day during the last four
months, but that apparently trivial lapse
OF time does not disturb him. Every one
is usually behind time. He himself was
born two centuries later than he desired.

Fair Play Toward Microbes.

A fact is q dangerously heavy load for
him who knows not how to carry it. Many
truths of science and philosophy are val

mountains OF obstruction to many. 1t is
only reserved to the few to fit truth in
its proper place and so find life in it. How
many thousands of persons have been
made miserable by little one-sided
knowledge of the germ theory" of dis
ease? 1t is a fair question whether the

want of knowledge how to kill them. And
now it is said that the microbe of old age

them out.
