MERRY APPLE SOCIAL.
Ninth street Church Young People
Had an Evenings FrOlfc.


The Christian Endeavor Society of the
Ninth Street Christian Church. held a
uEime and very enjoyable entertainment
last night, which they styled an apple So
cial.
Slips of paper, having on them a letter and
a number. were given to each of the guests
as they entered, and when all had been
given out. Mrs. Ellis, who managed the en-
tertainment, announced that the persons
holding slips bearing similar numbers must
find each other and spell from the letters
on the slips the namc OF some variety OF
apple, as previously arrangcd.by her
The name Of the apple discovered, Mrs.
Ellis directed that a stanZa or so OF verse
be written by each set, using the name of
the apple. The young people caught the
idea, and in few moments everybody
was rushing hither aid thither in search
of their sljpmate.
Half an hour sufficed to get the Rambos
and the Piprins together, an, amid much
merriment, the work of spelling out the
several varieties from the pied letters was
successfully y carriedout. The poetry proved
a poser, and the efforts turned in to the
judges exhibited n sad lack of the divine
afflatus among the young people.
The Judges, who were Rev. Edward Bagby,
pastor of the church; Miss Allen and Presi-
dent Boyd. of the society, finally gave
the first prize to the winesap party, and
the second to the early sweets. The ef
fort OF the winesapS, which brought honor
to their banners, is a semi-pathetic, semi
humorous stanza, that divi led honors pretty
event. between tears ard laughter, and read
as follows:
''Some apples in an orchard grew,
The small boy thought he had snap,
The farmers dog saw the apples, too,
And J"hnnie's tombstone says Wine
sap"
The judges, who read some twenty ef-
fusions, received a vote of thanks for their
services, but looked pale throughout the
evening.

Federal party-and his eight sons were

Mr.. Brier was reared in the cornfields
of Ohio and Indiana and developed a
strong physical constitution, which has
borne him through the many years with
wonderful strength, be to-day carrying
himself as straight as q young man. He
learned the bricKmason's trade, but at 81
shook off the brick dust for a college poll
ishing. He studied for the Presbyterian
ministry, but not being able to indorse
Calvinism became a Methodist itinerant
laboring for twenty years in that body.
He has for twenty years been connected
with the Congregational church and has
been in the ministry fifty-seven years.
Leaving the East he, with his wife and
party, came across the plains and were of
the number composing the famous Death
Valley party in 1849. The aged couple
have been married tifty-six years.
Rev. Mr.. Brier is a charter member of
the Republican party of California, and
knows no compromise. Thinking and
studying deeply is one of his delights, and
his thoughts find ready utterance, he being
veritable "0ld Man Eloquent" During
many campaigns he has stumped the
State for his party, having made the
welkin ring for Blaine, Garfield, Harrison,
and, further back, for Grant, Lincoln and
others.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct.
Captain G. T. Dole of the track team
issued call to the new athletes and can
didates for the track team to meet this
afternoon About fifteen men answered
the call and several others reported later.
Captain Dole gave the men short talk,
advising them that Stanford had lost
many of her best athletes by graduation,
and that it would be necessary for the new
men to fit themselves for the vacant
places. He expressed hope that with hard,
conscientious work OF ALL Berkeley might
be beaten next spring in the intercolle-
piate meet. He further advised the men
to train at every possible opportunity this
fall, not vigorously, but enough to put
themselves into shape for hard exercise
in the spring. He said the track would
be in shape for work by Monday next.
David Brown '97 made speech to the
men, offering any aid he might be able to
give them, and expressing the opinion
that more depended on them next year
than had depended on any previous track
team; that in order TO uphold Stanford o
prestige on the track, they must aim and
labor TO defeat their rivals next season; |;
that Stanford, having tied Berkeley, must
not rest satisfied there, but must advance.

ney-General Fitzgerald has rendered an
opinion that Marion de Vries' name can
not be placed on the State ticket as the
fusion nominee for Congress in the Second
District.
]. Nj. Landsborough, candidate for
Assembly in the Twenty-third District,
this afternoon inquired of Secretary OF
State Brown if the PopuIist State Central
Committee would be allowed to file GER
tihcate of De Vries' nomination by the
Populist State Central Committee, and
received an answer in the negative. AT
Landsborough request, however, Brown
telegraphed to the Acknowledgement for
legal opinion, and tonight received an
answer unfolding his decision. The opin-
ion was 10 the effect that the certificate
must be fled not less than forty days be-
fore election, and Is founded on section
1892 of the Political Code.
This leaves the nomination resigned by
C. f. McGlashan vacant, unless before II
o'clock tomorrow evening q petition Is
filed in the interest of some nominee. The
petition must have 1850 names.
Secretary of State Brown has refused the
request of Senator Afford that no certifi-
Gates of nomination OF electors styling
themselves Democratic or similarly be
filed other than of the Bryan electors
Brown cites section 1892 OF the Political
Code as the only authority bearing on the
subject, holding that similarity of name
not being cited in this section as one of
the causes why certificates should not be
filed he has no power 10 refuse. He vol
unteers the suggestion that the injury
does not arise from the fact OF the certlf-
cate being on file, but rather because the
nominees are certified 10 by the county
clerks as provided in section 1893, Political
Code

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL, Oct.
2.-The football practice was very poor
last evening. Several of the best players
took a lay-off, either because of sprains,
bruises or other incidents of the sport or
for less worthy causes. The coach is dis
gusted because the men do not put more
spirit into their play a-d WORK better to-
gether.
Unless the fellows brace up materially
in the next few days" said Cross. 'they
won't stand ghost of a show with the
Olympic team 8 week from Saturday."
Fisher '9S and Seawright 700, both at
half-back, did the best work of the day.
Fisher should undoubtedly be able to
develop into a first-clsss back, but he is
slow at getting under headway.
Most of the older players are putting up
fair games and when all the men can get
out again there should be something be-
sides mediocre football.
1t is probable that the freshmen eleven
will play very few match games this year
outside of the regular prsctice. The orig
inal plan was to give the zoos every possi-
BILE game with an outside cam that could
be arranged, but Captain Fickert OF the
Varsity objects, says Switzer '9S, the man.
ager of the freshmen eleven, so few games
if any will take place. Next week game
will doubtless be played with the Belmont
Academy eleven.
Captain Fickert's objections are ground
ed on the fact that these games detract
from the interest in the regular Varsity
practice AMI seriously interfere with it.
In addition there is more chance OF in
jury to the freshmen players in these
match games than there would be in reg
ular practice and but little more advan.
tage to the men anticipating.
