San Francisco Re6re10.

The change in the ownership of THE
CALL. of which Charles NJ. Shortridge of
the San Jose Mercury has obtained con-
troll, should not be passed by, though it
has now become familiar, without men
ton by Us as an event in the journalistic
world. As pioneer paper of unusual re-
liability and sterling qualities The CALL is
well and favorably known to large circle
of devoted readers, and the injection of
even greater life and enterprise will keep
great daiies Of San Francisco co am and also
thoroughly in touch with the interests of
the interior of the State. The relations of
the management of this paper with that of
THE CALL, so cordial for many years, may
be expected to continue under the new and
wide-awake regime SO lately inaugurated,
which we trust to see crowned with the
fullest measure of prosperity.

HORSES THAT won MONEY.
The kentucky Stable at the Head
Of the List.
What Some Of the Crack jockeys Did
During the Month Of January.
Turf Notes.

Saturdays win of the Lissak stake
greatly increased the strong tead that the
Kentucky stable already had over the less
fortunate stables in the amount of money
won in stakes and purses during the meet
Ing. Including the stake won by La Gas
con Saturday that stables winnings
amount to $4,000. OF this amount the
greater portion was contributed by jim
Flood and Lissak's big win of the Spreck-
els handicap. That jim Flood was a very
useful horse is demonstrated by the fact
that $3.50 of the amount won is to the
credit of the black colt. Of some of the
other stables that are well up in the thou
sands Barney Schreiber's string has placed
Ss460 to his credit up to February 1. Of
this amount Draw Scot was a large do
nator.
Tom Ryan's horses have won $1,000, and
the $6460 pulled down in purses by the
horses of the Pleasanton stable speaks
well for the managerial qualities Of Joe
Mccarthy. The horses carrying the green
with white sash colors of Ed Corrigan have
won $7730 for the Chicago horseman, and
S42S0 is the very tidy sum won by the small
string of Burns and Waterhouse. This
does not include the purse win of Gladia-
tor ON February 1. The horses of the Cali
fornia stable, trained by Frisco" Hoag,
have won $3430, and the amount won by
many of the smaller stables is fast creep
ing up into the thousands.
OF the Jockeys Jerry Chorn accepted the
largest number of mounts during the
month of January, riding in ninety-two
races. He was thirty times first, fifteen
times second, sixteen times third and un-
placed thirty-one times. This is a SPLEEN
did record considering the fact that many
of the horses were at long odds in the
betting. Felix Carr was also often in the
saddle, going to the post seventy-seven
times. Out of this number he finished in
front twenty-seven times, got second
money twenty-three times, was third seven
times and outside OF the money twenty
times. 1t speaks well for Cars honesty
that when riding favorites, as he often did,
he generally got the money or was knock
ing at the door.
Harry Griffin was seen in the saddle but
forty-six times during the month. Land
ing nine winners, ten in second place,
thirteen in third place and being unplaced
but fourteen times is an excellent record,
when the fact is taken into consideration
that he was up on horses that went back
ia the betting, and it was openly limited

The San Francisco CALL, which has al
ways been one of the best family papers in
the State, promises to be better still under
the management Of Charles NJ. Shortridge,
who in his bow to the public says: at is
our purpose to make THE CALL not metro
politan journal only, but a newspaper for
all California; and we will encourage, adj
vocate and assist every enterprise under
taken in any part of the State.''
If this sentiment is carried out this
county may get the recognition heretofore
denied by the metropolitan press, and to
prevent Mr.. Shortridge from being misled
by the other monarchs, notice is hereby
given that Humboldt County is not in
Oregon. To emphasize the fact the County
Clerk is hereby directed to mail to Mr..
Shortridge a copy of ain Redwoods
Realm" that he may be advised of our
topography and diversified resources.
Mr.. Shortridge's successful management
Of the San Jose Mercury gives assurance
that he will place THE CALL in the front
rank of California journals. May success
be with THE CALL and its new proprietor.

According to Edna's own statement she
is only is years of age, though she has the

The victory of the young team over their

made for goal, but with the grand
defense of the San Franciscos and the
watchfulness of their goalkeeper their
efforts were useless.

THE MORNING CALL is in the hands of new
management. Charles M. Shortridge is
the sole proprietor now, and the new spirit
which is infused in that esteemed paper
has been in evidence since the first day it
came into his control. Mr.. Shortridge is
an enterprising man, and has never under
taken anything of which he made failure.
The San Jose Mercury is his property, and
there are few papers on the coast its equal.
1t is his intention to make The CALL
second to none of its contemporaries, and
we have the greatest confidence in his
ability to do it.

and is now at the head OF one of the great
papers OF the Pacific Coast. His recent
purchase of the San Francisco CALL for
$3.50, 900 has given him an opportunity for
a display of his newspaper talent and we
predict for him great success. He is not
only active and aggressive, but he has the
ability to command respect and enforce at
tention so necessary in the broad field of
successful journalism. The San Francisco
CALL is fine property and with proper
management can be made exceedingly val

The Long Foretold Millennium Will
Begin in 1899.
In the past week unusual interest has
been aroused in the religious services at
ST. Paul's Mission, on Mission street, near
Fifth. This interest has grown out of the
fact that the addresses by Rev. NJ. V. Don
aldson and Rev. P. Brett Morgan have
shown wide range of information in pre-
senting their themes.
Because the ideas of these gentlemen are
novel to many, the true foundation of their
belief has been misunderstood. Speaking
of this matter yesterday Rev. Mr.. Donald
son said:
The thought never has been advanced from
the pulpit of st. Pauls that the world was to
end in 1898. One cannot read the Word OF
God and so conclude. We believe that we have
at least 1000 years yet before the final crash.
fore we speak"-that the Lord Jesus Christ
was delivered for our offenses and was
raised again for our. Justification; that
"inasmuch as he ever hveth to make interces-
sion for us he is able, yea, willing to save to
the uttermost all who come unto God by him.
that being I" the same yesterday, to-day and
forever" he is able to bear all our sicknesses
and heal all our diseases; Furthermore we be-
heve and trust that seven as he said" he will
come again in like manner as he was seen to
60 into the heavens. which must retain him I'M
til the "the times of restitution"
According to the signs of the times and un-
disputed chronology the age will end with
1899, which will usher in the millennium
reign of Christ which will be for 1000 years,
ana then will come the end when the last en-
envy, death, shall be destroyed.
Mr.. Donaldson said he regretted that @.
P. Huntington had been reported as CO.
religionist with the worshipers at ST. Paul s
chapel. He said that Mr.. Huntington had
not contributed anything directly to. ST.
Pauls mission, Though when engaged in
other work in other cities, he, out OF pure
fatherly generosity has given me person

evidence that its promise to become second

fact that the entire Typographical material
is the product of Pacific Coast manufacture
and skill makes the attractiveness of the
new CALL the more commendable. Its

themselves to keep pace with Shortridge's
enterprise.
