HAYWARDS, CAL, March 22.-About
1000 people assembled at the grounds Of
the Haywards Athletic Club this after
noon to witness the football match be-

An Ancient FamiIy Feud.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 22.-Robert
and Thomas Cayanaugh had an encounter
this evening with Sherman Fish in a Park
street barroom over an ancient family
feud which has estranged them. Fish was
overpowered easily by his opponents and
thrust through a window, which was shat
tered, and the pieces Of which badly cut
his face. No arrests followed and none
will probably be made.

A Feud.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 22.--A good
deal of work has been done on the extern
sion to the electric plant for which the
Board of Municipal Trustees have let con-
tracts approximating $4,000. The work
has now been enjoined and there will have
to be hearing in court before it is settled
whether operations will be resumed. The
point of contention is that the additions
proposed to the electric plant are to en-
large it so that the city may sell incan-
descent lights to private consumers. It's
contended that there is no law permitting
municipalities to engage in the business of
supplying commercial light to general
consumers.

From Steam to Lightning.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 22.-The
Laundry Farm Railway Company is con-
templating the conversion of its steam
road to an electric line.
Manager Rank aud his colleagues think
the property-owners should give the COM
pany a bonus for making the change
Many of them have consented to subscribe
to fund for an electric line, and only q
few are holding out. Just as soon as they
come into line the steam system to Laun-
dry Farm will be abandoned, and electric
cars will skirt the hills to the quarry on
the mountain.
The change in the motive power on the
California road will affect large district.
The steam line now connects with the
Southern Pacific's line at Fruitvale and
goes through the valley past Mills College
and then up into the hills 10 Laundry
Farm. An electrician can easily ascend
the grades. 1t is proposed to continue the
Laundry Farm line along the tidal canal
until it taps the main electric line of the

the adoption by the United States,

laws, of the Swiss system OF postal
collections for newspapers. There the
government furnishes the postoffices
with postal cards for the special use
Of newspapers on which the publisher
writes his bill againt each subscriber
for his subscription, usually for the
quarter or other short period, with
the postage added Thesea are sent by
mail to the subscribers, and the ex-
perience OF the Swiss publishers is that
they are Usually paid with great
promptitude. This would be an i'm
mense convenience to newspapers, es-
pecially to the country publishers,
and would save them lot only a
great deal of trouble, but great deal
of the losses which they now incur
from slow or delinquent collections.
1t would supply an inexpensive and
efficient machinery, which they now
lack, for reaching their subscribers at
regular intervals with the delicate in
timation that the cash which is nee
essary to keep their presses running
would be welcome 1t would be OF
considerable use, too, to the city

place it on sale to the consumer at a
cheaper rate Theilitory is "a plausl' IL
one, and there is III fact no doubt
about n reduction Of cost in manu-
featuring, but the other contingent,
Il cheapened rate to the consumer is
not SO apparent. 1t may result thus
sometimes, it might always. Bnt the
managers of the trusts are not in the
business for their health or for charity
but to make all the money .out OF he
business they possibly can. And
whenever they can plainly discover
that slight reduction OF price to
the consumer will result 10 their own
bent fit in he added interest to the
aggregate of business, policy dictates
such course. There are some OF
these gigantic trusts, however, which
evidently control the price to the ex-
elusive advantages OF the managers
and the certain del riment of the trade
AS it affects others than the trusts.
The beef trust is an instance. This
trust has absolute control Of the
price in he market. 1t sets a price
on the live animal at just about the
actual cost OF raising. 1t also deter
mines the price on the dressed meat
which is as high as the consumer can
pay. The farmer is compelled to take
two cents pound for his steers and
pay ten cents for his beef steak. All
the profit then goes to the middlemen.

The Latest FrOm Mars.

The French astroL omer Elammari-
on, who has for years been making a
special study OF the planet Mars, has
reached the definite conclusion that
he planet is the the seat of life and
intellectual activity. He believes 1t
20 sses> es all the earth's conditions
OF habitabiIity in modified form, hence
the Martians may he supposed not to
exactly resemble the inhabitants of
earth in physical conformation. For
instance, the attraction of4ravltatlon
is far less. M. FlammariOn tells us
that on Mars kilogram weighs only
376 grams; and a human being eigh-
ing $50 pounds would, ii transported
to Mars, weigh Only about so ounds.
The great astronomer thinks he has
discover, d that the temperature at
the surface of Mars is not So low as
woull appear from its known distance
from the sun and the ra1efactiOn of
its atmosphere. This seems to be
proven by the fact that its polar
SHOWS melt in summer, like those Of
our own planet; and even more, for
scarcely any snow remains at the end
of the summer.
Living creatures there may be
larger, as they are certainly much
lighter bulk for bulk, with possibly
larger lung and 6, eater brain capacity
hence the inhabitants of Mars may
be bet ter developed than weare physi-
cally, and incomparably above us in
intellectual powers.
Some time ago NJ Flammarion
thought he had discovered that the
Martians were signalling to the in
habitants of earth with a great fire on
their planet. He applied himself to
the task of mastering the meaning of
the flaming signal, but finally gave it
up as a hopeless undert aking. The
signal fire, after theoretically blazing
for several months, died away-from
which our astronomer inferred that
the Martians had come to the con-
cIusion that the inhabitants of earth
were either too inhospitable too re-
spond to their overtures, or to ignor-
ant to apprec ate the meaning Of the
signal.
NJ Flammarion accepts the Schia-
parelli theory Of a system of canals
on Mars as an established fact. These
canals, he thinks, serve to conduct
the melting SHOWS from the poles to
the great basins in the valleys, from
which the water is distributed over
the surface IN smaller canals. which
are discernible through his high grade
telescopes. Ii this is true, the Mar
tians are evidently intelligent enough
to maintain very thorough and
effective system of irrigation.
But with all his learning and re-
search, NJ Flammarion's conclusions
are, after ALL only guesses. 1t is
possible that some day telescopes
powerful enough to enable us to see
objects on the surface Of Mars as
large as a big city building may be
manufactured. Until that time our
knowledge of he actual conditions
on the surface of he red planet must
ne essarily be almost entirely specu-
l..tiv.. and theoretIcaI
