roNlonr's ADJUSTMENTS
CHRISTMAS AND CHILD LIFE

In the long ago, ION ye day called
Christmas" the yule log and the boar's
head and the mistletoe entered largely
into the festivities of the day. but in
these degenerate times" only the poet
nv of them is remembered, and yet 1t is
not surprising that it is so. Christmas,
like everything else, must yield to the
advance of civilization and conform to
vironment and customs of social and
religious life; hence 1t is that the blaz-
ing yule log, the steaming boar's head
and the love-enshrined mistletoe have
given place to the electric light, the
elaborate menu and the cultivated fow-
er. Society demands that it be SO.
If we would seek out the origin Of the
festival called christmas" we must
go back through the ages and walk in
the shade of the Druids' groves in Brit
ain, look in upon the Roman feast of
Saturnalia, journey to Scandinavia and
witness the festivities Of Walhalla, and
then hurry away to Bethlehem. At ev-
cry step OF our way we shall find, first
Pagan rites and then Christian observ-
ances mingled with them-so intimately
interviewer. indeed, that it would not
be easy to say where the one begins and
the other leaves off. The songs, the
prayers and the plays of the Lord of
Misrule. the Abbot of Unreason, St.
Nicholas and Santa Claus make a Gu
rious medley Of the old and the new.
There was a time, strange as it may
was silent and church bells rang out no
anthems over America on Christmas
day. but it was after the white man had
planted his foot and his bigotry upon
the land. fF
The Pilgrim fathers sternly disap-
proved the keeping of Christmas, either
as holy or festive day. They thought
1t smacked too much not only of Rom
ish ecclesiastical tyranny, but of idola-
trous wickedness as we'll. Almost i'm
mediateIy1 after the landing of the

casion to show their contempt of the
chief feast of the. "ungodly" church,

FORESTRY STATION MATTERS

In a few days a statement on the for

aid. The statement will be largely the
letters Of the Berkeley officers. These
letters show that those who favor these
large appropriations for the agricul-
tural college at Berkeley are we'll re-
ceived and that those who do not favor
these large appropriations are antag-
onized. The Berkeley peoples opposi-
ton extends to those who are even sus-
pected of coldness to the college or crit
icisms Of its methods.
The communications received by the
city council, by the academy of sciences,
chamber of commerce and other public
bodies yesterday and sent from the re-
gents Of the Berkeley university simmer
down to one point. This Is that any stu
dent or scientist in Southern California
is promised a permit to enter the public
stations under the university here if he
makes written application to Prof.
however, are to be on strictly time limit.
Since we pay taxes for this Berkeley uni
versity our people and scientists should
surely be saved from such a handicap.
The university people say that other bo
tanic gardens require permits and that
it Is only reasonable for them to also re-
quire them. This sounds very fair but
it is fair only in appearance. In the first
place, the Santa Monica station is 500
miles from Berkeley, and under fore
man who is described by the Berkeley
report of 1896 as little above an ordi-
nary laborer; secondly, its only interest
ing trees for study are mature eucalyp-
tus trees ~ or IA years old. The station
has long been unprogressive, and is in
no sense a botanic garden requiring
especial care. There is in fact only one
kind Of tree at the station that demands
protection from visitors. This is the
splendid scarlet f1owered eucalyptus.
All the rules cited by the university are
those Of real botanic gardens near great
centers Of population. All of these rules
provide for studnets and all of the gar
dens have officers In charge who can
grant the students permits without
500-mile trip. Besides this, in all of
them scientific men are welcomed and
never hindered or handicapped. The
rules are for visitors who are often care
less, and the rules are not strictly ap-
piled to strictly scientific men. The rules
Of the Santa Monica station, which have
recent order of the university, before
this change absolutely prohibited any
such permits. The language of the rules
is: mo visitor should be given special
privileges, and if such are asked for
they must be politely but firmly re-
fused"
The university makes no use of this
station. 1t has no students there. 1t
has contributed no knowledge to the
people from the plantations, and yet
this tax supported college will not let
others use the place for study while it
can help it, and after lodging the isssue
grudgingly grants promise Of privi-
leges on application to distant Berkeley

STATE WAR ON TRUSTS.

The presidents suggestion that the
states may do much to break up the
trusts and monopolies is fruitful If the
states visited severe penalties upon rail
roads guilty of determinations and upon
corporations and individuals entering
into combinations to regulate production
or prices the trusts and monopolies
would be badly crippled The monopoly
combination could be almost weeded out
of the states by the enforcement Of the
principles of the common law.-St. Louis

Nonunion Men Molested by
Fishermen.
BOATS SMASHED AND NETS CUT
Two Hundred Union Men Gathered at
Eureka Last NiEht-story OF How
searcy Was shot.

ASTORIA, May 24.-Two nonunion men
engaged in fishing near Oak Point were
set upon by number of members of the
Columbia River FIshermen's Protective
Union today, and were severely handled,
their boats being smashed and turned
adrift, their nets cut, and the men them
selves left on rocky point jutting out
into the river, from which they could not
escape unless assisted by persons passing
down the river.
just as darkness set in about 200 union
men congregated near Eureka, with the
evident intention of committing some
act of hostility, either toward the can
ners in that vicinity or toward nonunion
men.
1t is known that the steamer Alarm,
used as cannery tender for the Cook
Packing Company, is near Oak Point
with 20 tons of salmon on board, and it
is thought the fish may be seized and
destroyed.
From hints dropped by fishermen, it
is now absolutely certain that Searcy
was not the only fisherman killed in the
recent melee few miles above this city.
1t is believed that at least one of the at
tacking party was killed and several
wounded. Searcy's partner, Jewell,
who escaped with slight injuries, states
that when he fred his shotgun, more
than one man dropped, and that Searcy
was shot in the forehead as he was re-
loading his gun. Searcy and Jewell had
no weapons save shotguns loaded with
buckshot, while the attacking party was
armed with rifles.
1t is thought that the end is not yet,
and that unless compromise is quickly
effected between the canneries and the
fishermen, encounters of more serious
nature are unavoidable.

TIE BERMUDA NEARLY cAUGH1
Has Narrow Escape From Spanish
Gunboats.

Gunboats.
New YoRK, May 24.-News reached
this city today from Puerto Cortez, Hon.
duras, that the steamship Bermuda,
with large party of tilibusters and a
cargo of ammunition and provisions, had
a narrow escape from being captured by
the Spanish warships on her last cruise
to Cuba. This was the Bermuda's sec
ond successful trip.
She crossed the st. Johns river bar
April II, IN command OF Captain E. G.
Reilly. The Bermuda hove at place
on the northern coast of Cuba, some 10
miles east of Cardenas, and at once
once began to lower her boats. It was
said today by one in authority that five
men were drowned, among them a
brother of Colonel Nicholas de Cardenas,
one of the insurgent leaders.
The cargo was all landed, when one of
the boats got adrift. Some of the party
began shouting. Suddenly the flash of
an electric light was seen directly over
the ships masthead. The shouts of the
men in the boat had been heard by a
Spanish warship. There was flash and
roar, and solid shot passed about 300
feet astern of the ship.
Captain Reilly headed his ship west
ward, and pulled away from the Span
iards very quickly. A few minutes after
a second shot was fred and went wide.
Then it was discovered that two Spanish
gunboats were in pursuit. The Ber-
muda had no trouble in showing the
Spaniards her heels.
