HAzING At PALO ALTO,
Freshmen at the University
the Victims of Rough
Treatment.
Given Baths at Untoward Hours of
the Night and Pelted With
Ancient Eggs.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
1.-THE freshmen have been given a hot
reception at the university. There has
been great deal of rough treatment OF
the new classmen, which has caused many
threats Of dire revenge on their part. In
the young mems dormitcry the freshmen
have been taken from their rooms and
given baths at untoward hours of the
night.
A company of twenty sophomores cap
tured eight freshmen at Palo Alto last
night and drummed up a crowd of about
200 citizens with an impromptu band.
The freshmen were compelled to stand
upon the campaign platform erected there
and talk for half hour each, while they
were made easy marks for eggs, potatoes
and other rubbish! One young man was
made to sing the popular song, Good
Night, Ladies'" while his efforts were ap-
plauded with shower of stale eggs. The
freshman was struck in the eye with all
egg and badly hurt. It was thought for
some time that the eye would be lost, but
after the shell was taken out the disciple
of Parneli was made to continue his song
with no more serious injury than a very
black optic.
1t is not known who threw the missile.
The matter was much talked of in the
university town to-day.
Architect Hodges says that there will be
no new university building this fall. Sew
eral fraternities contemplate building
houses. The Chapter OF Delta Epsilon
already has a house planned for and the
Phi Delta Thetas may build.

Ferrau Talks at Santa Rosa.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. 1.-The free
silver campaign was opened here tonight
by Robert Ferrall of San Francisco. Ridg.

litical faiths gathered to welcome the elo-
quent attorney, who is claimed by thi:
city as a former resident. The meeting
was presided over by Emmett Sewell who
introduced Mr.. Ferrall in a brief speech
The address of the evening was enlivened
by sallies of wit and keen sarcasm, and
was on the whole the most able and enter

this campaign. Governor Oates of Ala

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. o. The
second day of the State Fair brought a
larger attendance, both at the track and
at the pavilion. The exhibits are worth
coming miles to see, and as for the races,
a swifter or more nimbe string of horses
from all sections of the country has not
been seen on any California track his sea-
son. Tonight the pavilion reverberated
with music. 1t was a festival of pure
melody, and it and the exhibits were en-
joyed by an increasing attendance free
from the jam of great crowd.
But there are plenty of seats for the
crowd when it does begin to flow through
the gates. The trains are bringing more
visitors almost every hour. Public con-
veniences for handling the throngs are ex-
cellent. Trolley-cars, and plenty of them,
and numerous other conveyances whisk
the visitor out to racetrack or pavilion in
few minutes.

Hugh Mcmillan Surprises Court Spec
tGtors at Sonora.
STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 2.-There was
an astonished crowd in the Superior Court
at Sonora to-day when Hugh Mcmillan.
charged with the murder of 0. Swan, late
of Sonora, but formerly of Stockton, con-
fessed to his guilt
The killing took place last June in the
mountains back OF Sonora. Mcmillan,
Swan and another man started out from
Sonora on a prospecting trip. Later
Swans lifeiess body was found by party
of hunters, and Mcmillan was arrested on
suspicion of being one of the murderers.
There was absolutely no direct eviden ce
against him. To-day, to the amazement
of the court and the assembled spectators,
his attorney asked permission, at McM1l-
lan's request, TO have the plea OF not guilty
changed to one OF guilty.
The court asked the prisoner II he fully
realized the situation. Mcmillan replled
that he did.
"Do YOU know, asked the court, "that
pleading guilty to charge of murder in
the first degree, you may hang or be sent
to the penitentiary for life; or, If in the
second degree, to imprisonment Tor not
less than ten years or possibly to life i'm
prisonmentP"
Eyes sir killed him, OF course" Nc
MILAN replied.
The prisoner is powerful, intelligent
miner. but he trembled visibly as he stood
before the court and pleaded guilty to the
charge of murder. He showed that he
could no longer stand the strain of keep
ing his terrible secret.
The court adjourned after this confes'
sion, and tomorrow the testimony of Nc
MILAN as 20 how he killed Swan will be
submitted. 1t is believed that Swan was
possessed of a considerable sum of money
and that robbery was the motive for the

been laid at the door OF George E. White
stood undenied; that there had been no
questions asked Mr.. White as to whether
he had discussed the killing of Littlefeld,
and that he had not denied"
at this point George White showed con-
siderable agitation and arose and asked a
question in whisper of one of the lawyers
for the defense.
Post bitterly arraigned the witnesses for
the defense, who had endeavored to i'm
peach Hanover and Mcdonald on account
Of their attempted boxing match.
Sanders had said that he wished the
testimony given by some of the witnesses
for the prosecution wiped out, and Post
SAID that had they told all they knew be-
fore coming to Weaverville "they would
have been wiped out from off the face of
the earth, they having a method OF re-
moving and 'wiping out men over there,
and O'Neil knew it when he had lied
about the time Gregory had returned to
the Vinton cabin"
1t will be remembered that VInton, one
OF the conspirators, had been shot a short
time before the murder of Littlefeld, and
Post stated that he believed that Vinton
had accidentally shot himself as he was
dismounting from his horse, as it was his
custom to carry his rife before him across
his saddle; that Vinton, after wounding
himself, had conceived the shrewd scheme
of laying the shooting upon Littlefield, and
that for this reason he had removed and
destroyed his overshirt, which was prob
ably powder-burned, and that while lying
at the house of Tom Hayden he had
Matched and matured the conspiracy and
put it into action, which resulted in
Littletield's death. 1t appeared, he said,
that Vinton had Hanging on the brain"
for long time and did not fail to tell
everybody he met about it.
During the day Gregory sat between his
mother and sister. 1t was apparent that
each of the trio was expecting the worst.
Many deputies have been sworn in by
the Sheriff in the past few days, as il is
feared an attempt at iailbreaking will be
made. 1t is expected that other arrests
are to be made. Gregory will be sentenced
on Saturday, when Oregon Sanders will
ask for a new trial.

HIS IDEA OF A SHARK.

is literal transcript Of one out Of
batch Of some hundreds Of answers:
"The shark is about 20 feet long and
has five rows of teeth when the shark is
going to catch its pray it turns ON its
side. The sharks are found in Indiad,
where they are very numegus in AT
rica, etc. The way they catch sharks is
lowering piece Of meat ON a sharp
hook (and sailors will do it for amuse-
ment), and the shark is very hungry al
ways that he will grab at the meat and
find himself caught
"On of his foes are the sord fish it
will go and run its sword through its
stummick.
"When the shark has been floating
about on the water for some time it gets
lot Of small fish in its mouth and they
will go and iay on the beach and let
small birds come in their mouth and
pick them off and will not heart them.
The shark can live in water and ON land.
Going from England to Indiad, you will
see sharks in the nile, they will follow
ships for many miles on purpose to get
some meat, and then perhaps not got
any. They are different kinds of sharks,

In January, 1899, ut the town OF
Aquilla, in the Abruzzo, then held by
garrison of 400 French troops, the
peasants broke into the town, and,
though they were driven out by the
French, they continued to give serious
trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to bonn
bard them with heavy guns. The French
were in an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer of artillery, ran
sacking his brains for the means of send
ing out men to spike the guns OH the

from the neighboring houses, suddenly
remembered that he had seen in his
magazine some suits of plate armor, and
he proposed to try whether, protected
by them, men could not sally out and
work in security under the musketry

and dressed out 12 gunners and grena-
