ceived from Mr.. Willerberger, formerly
a resident OF this city, but now residing
in France, stating that while visiting
Metz, Germany, q few dayeago lie went
to see a circus, which was exhibiting
there. On a large canvas in front of
the side show he saw a picture in glow
ing colors of q freak from darkest
Africa He went inside and saw the
negro king. On questioning the negro
it was found that he was Il native of
this city. Mr.. Willerberger stated thai
seeing the Alexandria negro revived
memories of home, and they had quite
a lengthy conversation after the show.

In this connection the opinion of the

The Title OF Admiral.

It should here be explained that the
title of Admiral" was not used in
England in the earlier days. In fact
the better opinion is that it was not
so used before the beginning of the
fourteenth century. He was called
Capitaneus maris Captain of the sea-
Keeper of the seacoasts," Captain OF
the Kings mariners" The title "Ad-
niraP' or "Amiral," probably derived
from the Arabic amir or enir (prefect)
was used in foreign countries much
earlier than in England. and came 70
us from France. Prynne CAnimadver-
sions. p. 1860 states that there were
Adinlrals and an Admiralty Court in
England as early as the time of Henry
l., derived from our ancient Saxon
kings-Alfred, Edgar, EtheIred. and
others who had the dominion of the
British ocean. None of these kings
probably was more potent than King
Edgar, who, possessing an absolute do
mlnlon of the neighboring sea, sailed
round about it every year and secured

A French Idea of Football.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Morning POST quotes a descrip-
ton by French expert" of the game
of football, which reads as follows:
Everybody knows that the game Of
football consists in projecting a ball
about as large as an apple through the
space between two posts about six
yards high, which are placed not more
than one yard apart The ball may
either be kicked or thrown. No player
may grasp an adversary round the
body, but everything else is allowed
even tripping up or the most brutal
blows. When one considers that the
pitch is of very limited dimensions
twenty yards by tWenty-five-and that
the number of players is fortytwo, it
is easy to imagine the danger run by
the athletes who indulge in football.
All the players hurl themselves at the
one who has possession of the ball In
the middle of the ground is a stand for
the umpire, this being necessary so
that he shall not be suffocated in the
many brushes which occur Candles
propably meaning when the ball is in
toueh) form the principal part of the
game. This is what is meant by a
candle; A player takes the ball and
throws it as high as he can into the
air. When it comes down everybody
kicks at once. Thus it very frequently
happens that q footballer' receives a
Kick in his face and departs minus an
eye. So there is always a doctor in at
tendance. Every year the victims OF
the Football Association are numerous.
But, after all, nobody will be aston
iShed at the brutality of the game.

A JUST COMPLAINT.
Conflicting Dates Are Unnecessary
and Do the People Injustice.

There is a great deal of unpleasant
comment among the people who pa
tronize entertainments in this city over
the action of the Sacramento Lecture
Association because it has seen fit to
conflict with the Trebelli concert of
Monday night by now announcing
Rounsevelle Wildman's lecture for the
same night.
Irebeli1 has been announced for a
month, and her date was taken weeks
ago. The same class, largely, OF peo-
pie who patronize the Lecture Asso-
citation are music lovers and wish to
hear Trebelli. Mr.. Wildman is an ac
complished gentleman and a scholarly
man. He was many years our Consul
General in Malayan sections, and his
information of the Orient and the south
seas is great and deeply interesting.
That the lecture and concert should
conflict is held to be unjust to the peo-
pie who wish to hear both. The Lee
ture Association has its tickets for its
season all sold and it has just made its
date for Mr.. Wildman, who resides in
San Francisco and could probably come
on one date as well as another.
1t is claimed and with eminent JUS
tice, that the effort to cultivate the
taste in the community for high class
art entertainment should be in all ways
encouraged for many reasons. 1t is
beneficial socially, intellectually and
morally, and it encourages high art
caterers to give us first class entertain
ments and displace low ones. 1t gives
the city a good reputation moreover for
art appreciation.
If. however, whenever a great artist
like Trebell or n distinguished literary
light like Mr.. Wildman are announced
some other attractive entertainment is
dated for the same evening, patronage
is divided, and the effort to get first
class people to entertain us is discOur-
aged, and we are reduced to low class
shows" and consequently the public
taste suffers. 1t is to be hoped that
the dates for Monday night will be
separated. 1t is greatly to be desired
and can be done and should be in JUS
tice to art and literary patrons.

RepOrterS are PriXiIeped.

-Four Buffalo reporters attended a
prize fight in a professional capacity
and the mill" being raided by the po-
lice, were promptly captured with the
party. Judge King, of that city, before
whom they We're brought, released them
declaring that it was principle of law
as well as of common sense, that three
kinds of men We're permitted to go any
where without blame--doctors, clergy
men and reporters. While The Guide
does not approve of brutal sports, 1t may
be said that men sent to report them
by their employers for purely business
purposes should be protected from ar
rest. and their release by Judge King
is justified both in law and ethics.--Pub-
lsher's Guide.

the organ and helps in many ways to
make the meetings pleasant. Then
there is Librarian Lester Moody, and
Acting Librarian George King, and AS
siStant Librarian Irving Scott.
Last night the little folks gave very
pleasant entertainment in the church,
which was well attended by the mem
bers and enjoyed by the children, as
well as their parents and friends. The
programme was as follows:

organ, cabinet organ, piano, flute, cor
net and violin.
While the little Secretary was deliver
ing her report she called Stella Dunphy
the organist. to the platform, and
thanking her for the service she had
rendered, presented her with a very
pretty gold watch on behalf of the
League, each member of which had
contributed something toward the to-
ken of esteem and regard in which they
held her

He Was Sensitive

They tell a good story of a local golf
ing enthusiast. who is never so happy
as when wandering over the links. He
had gone down town to supper at the

his decidedly striking golf garments.
Late i'll the evening he took a Euclid
car for home and dropped into the rear
seat. When the motor passed the
Pittsburg tracks the conductor looked
in at the door and called the next
