A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

We desire to call special atten-
ton to the notice in this issue of
the very low excursion rates to the
Atlanta Exposition, via the Balti-
more & Ohio and Southern Railway.
The rate on the b. & o. for the
round trip between TunneIton and
Washington City is 1910 and the
tickets are good from Dec. 21st
until Jan. 9TH, giving plenty Of
time to take in the Exposition at
Atlanta and all the sights in Wash
ington also. The round trip be-
tween Washington and Atlanta, a
distance of 1900 miles, is only
1915 over the Great Southern Rail.
way. This makes the railroad fare
S18.15 and the trip is the finest
that can be taken now as the two
cities named above are the most
beautiful in the United States and
both in blaze of glory Just now.

Rumors have already reached
Washington of the intention of
English financiers to frighteu the
administration by attempting to
bring on money panic by unload
ing American securities held by
them. Those rumors cause no IN.

more costly to the British than a
war would be. The silver men in
Congress would welcome such a
move on the part of the British, as
they believe 1t would result in the
United States setting up an in
dependent financial policy of it's
own. This country has too many
resources which its patriotic citi.
zens wonld place at the disposal of
the government to be frightened
by such rumors.

From a strong, handsome, active man
Father Bradley has been reduced to liv-
ing skeleton. For weeks, the priests in the
house say, he has not taken sufficient food
| to keep bird alive. Day after day he has
sunk lower and lower in the scale of physi-
cal weakness. Now he has to be moved
about and lifted like a child by the two
professional nurses in attendance. He is
even too weak to be moved to the hospital.
The origin of the trouble was in the blad-
der. This affection has been supple
mented by kidney disease and general ply
steal collapse.
The San Francisco house is the first es-
tablished by the Paulists, which is an
American community of priests, outside of

the person who has for years plowed up
and sowed both street and lots in the
neighborhood of Parker street and Hille-
grass avenue.
A petition, signed by many prominent
citizens of Berkeley was entered against
the future granting of sewer contracts to
private individuals. They claimed that
work done by private contractors is less
acceptable and satisfactory to property
holders, and is more expensive to the city
in the long run.
Nearly all the letter-b boxes for the new
mail service have been put in position.
Considerable regret is expressed by all
interested in the welfare of the university
over the failure of the Senate to reach and
consider the bill appropriating $4,000 for
the construction of gymnasium and
armory.
The sophomores have decided upon Fri
day evening, April 10, as the date for their
party. 1t is.proposed to make it a repre-
sentative university affair. The number
of tickets will be limited so as not to over
crowd the gymnasium. The committee of
arrangements for the affair consists of Miss
Sutton, Miss Guppy, Miss krenz. Miss
Robb, Miss Penwell, and MessrS. Olney,

which seriously alarmed her relatives. She
was fond of dancing and had a growing
desire to go on the stage.
About a year ago Callie determined to
crafty her whim, if it was possible to do
SO, and one day she came to this city, dis
guised as boy, in order to escape recogni-
ton from friends. She remained here sew
eral weeks, and secured an engagement in
a Kearnystreet dive as a skipping-rope
dancer. With more than usual boldness
she had herself photographed en- costume
and sent one of the pictures to a friend in
Petaluma. Several weeks later she be-
| came disguised with life in this city and
returned home. On her promise to do
better in future she was forgiven and re-
sumed her place in the family circle
1t was not long before the recollection of
her stage experiences rendered her rest
less, and she determined to leave home
again for good. This time she decided to
travel under an assumed name, retaining,
however, the name of Callie, by which she
is known among her acquaintance.
Her grandparents instituted vigorous
search for the girl, but the efforts of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children to locate her proved fruitless. A
few days ago, however, she was recognized
by an acquaintance on Kearny street, and
the knowledge that she is now in the city
has prompted her relatives to renew their
inquiries in the hope of finding and re-
| claiming her.
A woman answering to Callie Birkman' S
description was seen in notorious saloon
on Eddy street, Monday night. She was
evidently in pain, and suddenly fell un-
conscious. 1t was thought that she had
taken poison, and DIR. w. o. Wilcox of p
Powell street was hastily summoned. She
was revived with difficulty, and later adj
mitted that she had taken some morphine
to ease a violent headache. She stated
that her name was CalIie, but declined to
tell where she lived. She appears to be a
frequent visitor to the place, and the police
are hopeful OF apprehending her at an early
date

News brought to this city yesterday by
the last steamer from Acapulco is to the
effect that about February l a conspiracy
was discovered among Ezeta's followers
having for an object the unseating OF
Gutierrez, the President, and the reseatine
of Ezets. The plan was nipped in the bud
by Gutierrez, who ordered the principal
leaders shot at once. They were Colonies
Delfino, Berries, Fernando Salyedo and
Captain Mangandi. Aside from this. ali
the prisoners who had been Jailed since
the las uprising were ordered hanged.
Gutierrez conquered and succeeded in
gaining possession of the two children OF
Ezeta, whom he now holds as hostages.
When Ezeta sent the children away
from San Francisco about month ago in
charge of their grandmother. Sonora
Garcia, he had provided for their soiourn
at Acapulco where they would be under
the protection of Diaz, his friend: but the
grandmother took them right through tc

the discovery of the plot, and they were
seized at once.
Ezeta is much concerned and saws be
