tnins-Engmeering Clubs to Arrange
Match.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Jan.
28.-At the last meeting of the student
body athletic committee vote of thanks
was rendered the University Club OF San
Francisco for their interest in the local
affairs of the two universities. The latest
indication OF their kindly feeling was the
presentation of silver cup for intercol-
legiate competition. The baseball team
which wins the championship for two
successive years will be given the cup as a
souvenir OF the event.
With the exception of the freshman
class the baseball men have elected their
respective captains for the coming season.
The seniors chose II. Hazard, we'll
known baseball enthusiast, although he
has never been an aspirant for Varsity
honors.
a. S. Jeffs W i'll captain the junior team.
He has played on the Varsity baseba as
well as on the football team every year
since his entrance to the university.
Louis freeman, the tennis champion,
will marshal the sophomore team.
1t is thought that the juniors and fresh
men will put out the strongest mines this
year.
A baseball game will probably be ar
ranged between the civil and either the
mechanical or electrical engineers this
year. At the last meeting of tue civil
engineers club A. H. Toll was elected
baseball captain. He was instructed TO
challenge the other two engineering clubs.

WEAVING A WEB
ABOUT SANDERS
Cellmate of the Professor

Testimony.
Plots to Secure Two Witnesses

Evidence.
A Man VINO Ssw Wootton Drive
Away From HIS Ranch With
the D. fendant.

FRESNO. CAL, Jan. 28.-To-day was
had dav for Professor w. a. Sanders in his
trial before a Jury in Judge Webo's court
for forcing William Wootton's name.
some very damaging testimony was intro
duced against him. :,
Robert Anderson, who had oeen a celf-
mate of the defendant, testified regardlng
the alleged attempt Professor Sanders naa
made TO get hin TO find two witnesses 10
give fabricated test mony. Ihe oeIenss
succeeded in proving the unenviaole cnar-
acter of the witness, but the fabricated
which was written by Sanders for the Two
testimony witnesses to make affidavit TO
was introduced and corroborated Ander-
sons testimony. The hand writing in TINS
case is unquestionably that OF Sanders.
The other witness examined during the
day was Charles Rohloff, who was WORK
ing at Wootton's ranch when he dis
appeared. RohIoff saw the aged rancher
drive away from mis- home with the de-
fendant, since which no trace OF Wootton
has ever been found. The witness testi-
mony pointed seriously 10 the guilt OF
Sanders.
The attorneys were more careful yester-
day to have the witnesses speak loud so
that their answers could be heard by ]. NJ.
Rose, the juror who is partially deaf.
A. r. Anderson testified that he is at
present living in Los Angeles While he
was confined in the County Jail here, pend
ing his trial for stabbing man at Kings
burg, he had been cellmate OF Professor
Sanders. They had several conversations
regarding his (Sanders0 case, the profes-
sor having broached the subject first.
The witness had offered the defendant no
inducements to get him to make any state
ments.
Anderson said that the defendant
wanted him to get two witnesses to testify
for him. Sanders wrote out some papers
statements the two witnesses were to
make. The witness was to take these and
go to Los Angeles and employ two men
who would swear to them. Whatever
Anderson should agree TO pay these two
men would be satisfactory to Sanders, who
was to bear all cost and expenses. The
amount it was estimated, would range
from $500 to $1,000.
District Attorney Snow then read the
statements which Sanders bad intended
for fabricated testimony. The witnesses
were to swear in substance that they had
seen Wootton in Los Angeles and also at
the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco after
he disappeared from his ranch. At both
places he was accompanied by the myth

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 28.-The trial
of the damage suit of Charles E. Anthony
VS.. The Pullman Palace Car Company was
begun this morning before Superior Judge
Allen and jury.
The case is quite an odd one, and, al
though the damages asked for are only
$275, there are a COED many nice points
involved, and the company is resistin g
the suit with great energy.
The circumstances OF the case were that
on ethe night of November 13, 1894, the

Pullman car of the Southern California
Railroad Company.

THERE ARE MANY MEN WHO
l. now and then suffer from nervous
twitching of the eye and other parts.
When the facial nerves twitch there is
certain to be an irritation at their centers
in the brain. These facial nerves origi-
nate in the brain and end in the muscles
of the face. 1t is then true that these
twitchings show a decline of the nerve
force of man. This decline will give q
lack of nerve life, and may develop into
nervous debility and then into nervous
prostration. The nerves of a man are
delicate and he should indeed be very
careful not to harass them, not to abuse
them, not to gnarl or knot them. 1t is
those who subject the nerves to these fear
ful strains that bring on nervous debility
and melancholia. American men live
rapid lives; they do everything overmuch.
They rob the body of blood in their ex-
cesses and their induIgences. They are
never content to live in moderation, and
the result is, and it is pity, too, pre-
maturity. Prematurity shows decay, and
decay means, of course, decline of power.

Lutte cure is the great "HUDYAN' cure.

five rounds, in which the exchanges were
about even, Burge landed a crushing blow
on Connolly's neck, knocking him down.
The latter, however, was on his feet again
in eight seconds, and Burge was just gong
in to finish the fight when time was called.
Connolly recovered with marvellous
rapidity from the effects of the blow which
had come so near knocking him out, and
in the next round he had Burge groggy.

Society in that lively mining camp is ex-
elusive and intensely sensitive. and when
social etiquette is disregarded by a mem
ber of the smart set there is the greatest
commotion. An event has occurred that
has created a sensation not only in upper
circles, but ali along the line,
1t is said that Edward Rsddy, young,

that the couple had between them seyera

couple had lived together paratively
happy until handsome young Reddy ap-
peared, and then the husband appeared
in the wife's eyes very plain, uncorth and
ignorant.

that not one of the tobacco-users has the
