FIVE BABY ELKS,
Large Crowds at the Ocean Beach and
Park Museum.

Large Crowds at the Ocean Beach and
Park Museum.
Yesterd ay's fine weather drew out a
very large crowd of peasurs-seekers to
the park and ocean beach. The galleries
of the Cliff House were filled and a large
number Witnessed the good programme at
the Sutro Baths. where the Mullin sisters
i'll their cornet duets and the Ordways in
their trick bicycle performances furnished
excellent entertainment.
The Park Museum now has the nucleus
of a library, which the curator hopes will
be added to until they have roomful,
which will much enhance the educational
value of the museum. NJ H. de Young
has just presented a set of the En-
cyclop@dia Britannica and a set of the
Century Dictionary and Encyclopedia
Curator Wilcomb has given valuable
work on mlneralogy by Dana, and others
have donated works on coin, pottery and
ancient armor. The museum will be glad
to receive any contribu tions of books re-
lating 20 any of the subjects of its twenty
two departments. Works on natural his
tory, ethnology, ancient coins, armor,
medals, ceramics and, above all, on min
eralogy, will be appreciated. The treatises
will be specially interesting when placed
in the museum, because they can be
studied in conjunction with the rare
specimens of many kinds collected there
for the examination of students. Doubt
less there are many old books stored away
on dusty shelves and doing the owners no
good, which can be made very useful ii
sent to the museum.
The park now has five baby elks. They
attract great deal of attention by their
graceful play.

USED A STILETTO.
Two Men WOunded During a Fight in
a saloon on Dupont
Street.

As result of a fight in the United
States saloon, 1926 Dupont street, at an
early hour yesterday morning Joe Crudo
Will have 10 answer a charge of assault to
murder and Paul Gallant is in the Re-
ceiving Hospital suffering from a danger
Gus wound in his left breast.
Crudo, Gallant and Mike Valva were
playing cards in the saloon when a dis
pute arose as to a 50-cent piece between
Valva and the bartender Crudo backed
up the bartender and Valva got mad and
struck him. Each drew a stiletto and
Gallant, according to his story, went TO
Valva's assistance, and In the struggle to
get possession of Crudo's stileito Crudo
was cut on the cheek and hip. Crudo got
his arm free and stabbed Gallant in the
breast.
CTudo claims that he acted in seIf-de-
Tense. Valva knocked him down, he
says, and when he got TO his feet Gallant
attacked him with a stiletto and cut him
in the cheek and hip before he retaltaIed.
Policemen Maloney and Haggett ar
rested Crudo and took him and Gallant
to the Receiving Hospital, where DR..
FitzGibbon stitched and dressed their
wounds. The stiletto nearly pierced Gal
liani's heart. Crudo was released ves-
terday afternoon on $1,000 bonds, epted
by Judge Low.

TOM 0 'ROURKE
AND HIS STRING
EVerhardt, Wolcott and
Dixon Will Arrive
Tonight.
George Green Seems Inclined
Now to Draw the Color
Line.
There Is Threatening Quarrel Be-
tween the Empire and National
Clubs About Fighters.

The arrival of Tom O'Rourke tonight
with his three fghters-W Welter-Weight Joe
Walcott, Lightweight Jack Everhardt and
Feather-weight George Dixon-wiII push
things along in offalrs pugilistic. AS they
stand now they are still. The misunder-
standing between the Empire and the
Nations al clubs as to which owns the fight
ing Qualities of George Green, who is
booked TO meet Walcott, will have to be
settled by O'Rourke, and it will probably
be just as well for these institutions to
abide by the Eastern mans decision with
out murmuring. Injunctions and other
measures now threatening will but do
harm to the budding of the sport that
promises to bloom so beautifully in the
sunshine of municipal complaisance.
George Green is accredited with the de-
sire to draw the color line now that Wal
cott is within the State. His Olympic
Club friends foolishly encourage him in
so doing, and il is likely that unless some
better advice prevails a hitch Will occur on
that score. Green, however, has always
shown himself amenable to sound sense,
and as he has generally modelled his ways
of doing after those OF Jim Corbett there
is hope that he will not draw the line, es-
pecially 1t this time so soon after the ad-
verse CTlLlClSm ne drew OOWu WDen MS
proposed match with Ryan fell through.
There is nothing in the way of the Dix
on Hawkins battle, which promises to be
the greatest event of the kind that has
ever taken place. True, the men do not
properly belong in the same class. Haw-
kins is a lightweight, but he is at his best
at 1876 pounds.
He will have to come down to 12S
pounds almost at the rIngside, and he
must necessarily lose vigor in so doing.
Dixon, the feather-weight is uDquestion-
ably the best man in the world In bis
class, and he can stand the handicap he
must go against. All in all, that fight
should be great one.
Everhardt and Spider" Kelly will be
the next event of importance after the
Dixon Hawkins bout. Everhardt has
never been seen here, but the reports of
his Eastern work are very good. Kelly is
we'll known as a game and hard fighter.
There is no betting at this early date
upon any of these events. AS to the re-
turn mate between Maher and Sharkey,
or limited go between Fitzsjmmons and
John l.. Sullivan, it is not likely that they
would jointly pay expenses if pulled off in
this City. A discussion on these events
usually terminates with the expression,

Adgie and her lions were the principal
feature, and the performance was very

INGLESIDE RUNAWAYS.
Quite Lively Mix-Up Near the Race
track Yesterday, With No
Serious lesults

About o'clock yesterday. in front OF
the IngIeside racetrack saloon, the village
cart of p. w. Bolton locked wheels with
the driving-cart of Ludwig SelIinger a
butcher doing business at 331S Mission
street, which resulted in a lively mix-up.
Sellinger had gone into the saloon to col
lect bill, leaving his boy Charles to look
out for the rig. While Selinger was b.
sent Bolton and his wife drove up and
the boy who had been left in charge of
the butchers horse, endeavoring to make
way for the newcomers, succeeded in caus.
ing the collision. The result was a few
abrasions for the boy, the bruising of Mr..
and Mrs. Bolton, a badly wrecked cart
and possible suit for damages. Be!ton's
cart was completely wrecked and his
horse badly scratched. while the butchers $
cart and horse were but slightly damaged.

a Fine Day and Lively
Birds.
The Society for the Prevention Of

Interfere.

The shooting contingent of the olympic
Club had an ideal day yesterday for their
tournament at the IngIeside grounds,
there being just enough breeze 10 make
the BIRDS lively. No clean scores We re
made, which was attributed to the fine lot
OF birds that left the traps.
1t was expected that the Society for the

interfere with the sports, but no action
was taken toward stopping the sport yes
terday, Notwithstanding that two active
members Of the society were present. The
score was as follows:

The sale of the Topeka Advocate by
Ex-senator VIM. A. PETER, marks an
epoch in Kansas Journalism. The
Advocate, creature of the reform in
terests of Kansas, has always stood
by its colors. The Advocate was de.
handing the inalienable right of SOW
ereign citizenship and government by
the people, before the Peoples Party
in Kansas was born; when men were
denominated as anarchists for even
presuming to think; when Republican
cars used every means in their power
to procure the ruin of advanced think
ers; when Kansas was wholly within
the clutches of one of the most gigan-
tic and corrupt political combinations
OF the present century; when a worse
gang of thieves than ever infested the
bad-lands were welding the reins of
government in Kansas, and left no
means escape for stabbing to death
any semb1ance of protest against their
nefarious practices. But the Advocate
has always stood by its co1ors. Through
storm and calm; the SHOWS of winter
and the blasts of Summer; the calum-
mics of blinded partisanship and the
ISLANDERS of pin-headed demagogues, it
has never been found wanting, but
has waged continuous battle for the
supremacy of the right and the vindi-
cation of American manhood and
womanhood, as exemplifed by the
masses. Its means to the end have
sometimes been subjected to abstract
criticism, but through it all, while
honest men in the party have differed
with it, its integrity has never been
brought into question, and its honor
has never been susceptible of impeach-
ment.

Out of seventeen of Eng1and's phil
osophers, not one was from the aristoc-
rary.
Out of fifty-one great churchmen
and religionists, there was only one
from the aristocracy, and that a
woman, Lady Huntingdon.
Out of 1873 distinguished poets, not
one from the aristocracy.
Out of 148 authors of renown, only
four were from the aristocracy.
Out of 46 historians, only three from
the aristocracy.
Out of 81 most noted commanders,
only two from aristocracy.
While out of JAG artists and archi-
tects the aristocracy did not furnish
one.
The author gives the names of all
these persons, and out of fourteen cell
ebrated discoveries, only one fur
nished by the aristocracy was the
Duke of Norfolk, discoverer of the
hitherto unknown properties of curry
powder by which roast beef, plumb
pudding and such heavy and dyspep-
tic articles of food are likely to grow
out of use, to the signal relief of man
kind.
Greatly condensed the author con-
cludes:
What do we now see? Immense COL
onies of stirring, active, able men, in
venting, continuing, constructing and
building up the nation in arts, science,
discoveries and laws. On the other
side our aristocracy are like parasitica1
plants. The parasite grows not on
the ground; they are on the oak, the
pine, the cedar and the lofty palm
which do the growing. The parasite
occupies ruly, lofty status, for it
is generally on the broad shoulders or
on the very crown of these giants of
the woods. Above hang parasitical
blossoms, perhaps of great beauty,
but all beneath and occasioned by it is
rottenness and decay.
Such is the gay and aspiring, but
fatal nature of our aristocracy, parasi-
teal in all its qualities. But the peo-
pie, drawing at once vigor from the
earth beneath and from the heaven
above, put out evidences of growth
and fruitfulness.
Never let the glorious truth be for
gotten that the good and the salvation
of the world always come, and always
has come from the hut. Christ came
thence; the patriarchs, the prophets,
the apostles came thence; the greatest
sages and philosophers and builders
of national wealth and glory, and of
the power and happiness of man, have
come thence in all ages.
Wealth, in order to corrupt and
overthrow this republic is using its
stolen profits to corrupt the teachers
of our schools and colleges and uni
versities, and churches to use them as
instrumentalities in the nefarious
work of abolishing free thought, free
speech, and free press and finally,
of free country.

The Public Veto.

If it be true that governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed" as declared by the
founders of the government, and if
Lincoln, one hundred years later,
rightly understood it as being ga gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
for the people," it then stands true for
all time that the people have right
to refuse their consent to any perni-
cious, oppressive or subversive law
which is about to be imposed upon
them by the legislators they have
chosen to represent them in the enact
ment of laws or ordinances, by first
suspending the law, ordinance, reso1u-
ton or other legislative act, and then
by voting down and annulling the
same at the polls.
If the combined forces of the corpor-
atoms, the trusts composed of unions
of corporations, and our dis1oyal men
of wealth, now in the practical control
of local, state and national legislation.
are to be prevented from obtaining
permanent and absolute ascendency
and mastery over our country, and
stea1thi1y changing our laws and un-
dermining our institutions until all of
liberty be lost, the sole hope of the
country is in the great plain people
whom Lincoln loved and trusted. who
must resume their rightfu1 sovereign
authority and refuse to be governed
by the pernicious laws passed by their
recreant and boodle-blinded represen-
tatives, and suspend, veto and annul
all their subversive and pernicious
legislation by direct vote of the cleo
tors at the ballot-box.-Joseph Asbury
Johnson.
