Next day another nugget Of pure gold,
about the size OF goose's egg, was

gravel and earth from the sides of the
canon. He was astonished at the value
placed upon his treasure when he off:

In their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally lax

II in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual

for use in the family residence, is the mean

be safer A few days ago prominent gen

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and

Last night a lamp tipped over and it came

Everything Is Clear to Him
But the Firing Of
the Shot.
VISITED BY FEW FRIENDS.
His Attorney Will Argue That a
Letter Ruled Out Influenced
the Verdict.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL.l
QO3 Rroadway March %

Benjamin T. Hill has been visited by but
few friends since his conviction for the
murder of his wife, but he still feels conf
dent that he will be ultimately acquitted.
The condemned mans hope is based
upon the fact that his memory is COM
plete blank for the minute during which
he killed his wife. He has no recollection
of actually firing the fatal shot although
he remembers all that led up to it, and the
circumstances that followed it. Next
Wednesday morning he will appear before
Judge Ogden for sentence and his attorney
will argue in favor of a new trial. One OF
the points on which the plea will be based
is the ruling out of evidence of letter
from Hill to his wife in which he asked
her not to go b;cycle-riding in boomers.
Since the verdict was reached Hill has
been not one whit less self-composed than
before the trial. In some respects he is a
remarkable man. He looks upon the
ton and says that her statements to him
just previous to the murder rendered HIM
insane.
The only tender spot in his nature that
is shown to visitors is touched when refer
ence is made to his little four-year- boy.
Hill is evidently very fond of his boy. He
has said that he would just as soon be dead
as alive If it were not for the child. If the
penalty for his crime shall be dealt out to
the father the lad will be placed some
where where he will never learn of the
fate of his father and mother.
Il have tried hundreds of times to fix
my mind on the minute during which
fired the shot, said Hill to a friend yes
terday, "but I cannot do it. / can remem-
ber very we'll that each moment as my
wife spoke could feel that I...was losing
control of myself, but after she slapped me
on the face l remember nothing. Al
though knew something of what was GO
ing on, / was not prepared for what she
told me. / could not believe it and it
drove me mad. l remember meeting the
carmen and giving myself up, but not un-

II have not had the flag raised

feel that we are ready for much work at
present.
'sShips are being registered from this
port continually. and two inspectors are
employed at the wharves. The fact that a
heavily loaded ship cannot enter the port
here will OF course interfere with business
until the channel improvements are made.
'The coal steamers will enter this port
and will, of course. bring considerable
trade. The effect of the establishment of
q local Custom.house will not be felt in
business for some months. The great ad-
vantage to the merchants will be in being
able to have imported goods sent directly
to this port. The Office is not paying ex-
penses at present, but as soon as our
facilities are better adapted to trade. the
Custom house will more than pay all ex-
penses and bring in handsome revenue" T"

they will work off the tie which was made
against the U. P. men in the dual meet
last May. OF the three kilograms from
Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania received
by the management within the last week
the one received last night was the most
favorable. Now. since it is possible to
have match with Pennsylvania, with the
assurance OF good support, it is thought
that the other colleges of the East with
whom Berkeley desires to arrange meets
will fall into line and thus make second

a possibility.
Up to the present time the Berkeley

the Middle West colleges, but the favora-

Market.

dent Depression in the Horse
Market.
The second of Killip & Co.'s sale of
thoroughbred horses took place Saturday
evening at their salesyard. corner Market
street and Van Ness avenue. The big tent
was crowded with horsemen, but the
bidding was dull and spiritless, only the
pick of the animals bringing any sort of
prices.
The first lot disposed of were the horses
in training and yearlings bred at Menlo
stock farm, the property OF W. OBJ. Mac
donough. The twenty-one head disposed
of brought $5235.
The jumper, Burmah, was knocked down
at the nod of Jimmy" Mccormick for
$1,000. The good performer Veragua went
to n. s. Hall for $780,
st. Dunstan, the promising two-year-old,
was knocked down to l.. A. Legg for $500,
and the same buyer paid $500 for Zamar,
the winning son of st. Carlo and Royal
Bess- The others went at prices ranging
from 500 down to $50.
Six head of horses owned by the Mon
tana millionaire, Marcus Daily. that have
been racing at the local tracks, were also
catalogued to pass under the hammer, but
after Skalkaho had gone for $3.50 and Trap
pean for $40 Trainer Randall ordered the
balance withdrawn.
The horses in training owned by Barney
Schneider will be disposed of tomorrow

Imposing Ceremonies in Honor
of the Twenty.Eighth
Birthday.
Baseball Game, Hop in the Gym.
nasium by Daylight and Liter
ary Exercises.

BERKELEY, CAL, March %. - The
University OF California will celebrate her
twenty-eighth birthday tomorrow with
exercises of an unusually imposing order.
In the morning at 1880 a programme
commemorative of the granting by the
State of the institutions charter will be
rendered in Harmon gymnasium, and in
the afternoon there will be an old-fash-
ioned dancing party in the "gym" and
baseball game on the Varsity diamond.
The exercises in the morning will be of a
formal nature and will be conducted by
members of the faculty, alumni and stu
dents. while the entire afternoon will be
given up to merriment and festivity. Sew
eral of the Greek letter fraternities will
keep open house and will serve luncheon
to their friends who come from distance.
The baseball game which has been an
nounced will be played between the Uni
yersity Club nine and the Varsity team.
Indications point in the direction of the
closest and best-played game of the sea-
son. New bleachers have been erected
especially for the occasion. The hop to be
given in the gymnasium will be of SINH
lar order to that of last Charter day. In
stead of waiting for nightfall and the radi-
ant shades of the electric lights the stud
ents and their friends will dance in broad
daylight, and thus again recall the custom
of afternoon hops. The ball game and the
hop will be conducted simultaneously, so
that pleasure and amusement will be fur
nished every one.
At the morning exercises President Kel-
logg will preside, and Rev. E. Lyman
Hood, president of the Graduate Club of
the university. will act as chaplain. The
order OF exercises will be tirst the formal
opening by President Kellogg, followed by
a prayer by the chaplain. Then Miss Mil

county Clerk JORDAN Meets with Some
Strange People.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 22.-The affi-
davits of registration that are coming in
to the County Clerk by thousands need
very careful scanning. A notable instance
of irregularity was found yesterday. 1t
was that of James Lyons, native of Ire
land, 81 years of age, who resides at $50
Adeline street. Lyons affidavit reached
the Office complete with one exception. In
the blank in which is to be explained the
manner in which the applicant for regis
tration became naturalized appeared the
words, "By transfer from Yuba County"
On the great register of two years ago is
found the same expression, "By transfer
from Yuba County"
Speaking on the subject, Mr.. Jordan
said to a reporter: 81 know of no pro-
vision of the law by means of which man
may be naturalized by transfer from Yuba
County or from any other county, and no
persons name will go on this register who
has not at least some legal means of natu-
ralization to show. That Lyons was on
the last great register is no proof that
Lyons was entitled to vote. [ have been
compelled to write to Yuba County to as
certain whether the register up there
shows whether or not Lyons was ever natu-
rallied, and if there is no proof of that fact
there, then he must tell here how he was
naturalized before his name can go on this
register"

LARGE CROP READY.
Result Of Experiments With the
Soil of Livermore

EVERYTHING WILL GROW.
C. E. Hahn Proves the Correctness
of His Judgment of Four
Years Ago.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL,
90S Broadway March % (

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway, March %.
E. c. Hahn, who manages the big Alt
schul ranch, which is situated about four
miles north of Livermore, has proved be-
yond doubt that tobacco can be grown in
this county of excellent quality and in
any quantity.
For some time past Mr.. Hahn has been
making experiments In tobacco culture.
He has long since become convinced that
a soil that will grow French prunes, al
monds, lemons, oranges, wainuts and
olives can produce tobacco. Last year
enough success was attained to justify the
planting Of large crop and it is now in
excellent condition. It is located in a
warm belt and was not affected by the re-
cent cold spell. 1t has thrived beyond the
planters expectation and a healthy Sec
ond crop is now growing. This success,
early in the spring, is seldom attained.
The future of the tobacco industry must
depend in a great measure on the pecul-
lar delicate flavor of the leaves, and ex-
periments are now being carried out with
the soil that it is claimed will make Cali
fornia tobacco equal to the finest brands.
For some time the tobacco plant has
thrived in the southern part OF the State,
but crop of any size has not yet been
produced in Alameda County.
Mr. Hahn is an enthusiast in his work,
and when he commenced operations in Liv-
ermore Valley about four year ago he made
a critical examination OF the loam and ex-
pressed an opinion that anything could be
grown upon it. He has since proved that
his opinion was correct.
aMy experience with tobacco is highly
satisfactory" said Mr.. Hahn, "and 1 am
now convinced that In the near future that
industry Will make great strides. The
growing is only one branch of the busi-
ness, however, and when that is under
taken on a large scale it naturally follows
that California will manufacture her own
cigars, and that will be almost another in
dustry. California tobacco and cigars
have been very favorably spoken OF lately,
and there is no doubt that the business
will prove profitable"
superintendent Mccoy of some OF the
Vanderbilt roads was in Oakland week
ago. He was the guest of Mayor Davie,
and the host provided a dinner that was
Californian throughout. There was moth
ing edible that had not been produced in
California. The cigars were the subject OF
special discussion. After sampling few

local team made two touchdowns and one

In the second half Haywards made four
touchdowns and the same number of
goals; Vallejo did not score in the second
half. Score-Haywards 81, Vallejos 6.
Mcclure, Lee and Kavanaugh played
excellent bali for the Farraguts, and
special mention was made of the playing
of Smith, Frick, Racine, McHugh, Wells,
Lacunha and Carter of the local team.
Corcoran of the Vallejos had his nose
broken in scrimmage.
After the game the visitors were ten
