Sunday.
Chas. D. Henry, cashier of the Bank
of Monterey, who is a regular sub
scriber to The Call, regards the New
Era edition as one of the finest publf-
cations of a daily paper he ever saw.
He thinks the paper has shown mark
ed improvement of late, the market
reports especially being up to date
and reliable and the news service un-

creasing popularity.
F. S. Botch said: II think 1t will

A NJ. McCabe-I never saw such a
big paper before, and all good, inter

Ex-Mayor Boring-The Call is a
great paper. The great New Era edi-

for comparison with the other papers.
S. n. Rucker-The Call to-day is a

LEADING CITIZENS OF

Progress of the Newspaper Evidenced
BY the Great New Era
Edition.

VALLEJO, Dec. 19.-Many were the
expressions of praise for the New Era
edition of The Call that were hearh in
Vallejo to-day. Some of the comments
are given here:
Charles A. Fulton, City Superintend-
ent of Schools-The Call is an excel
lent paper, superior to any on the
coast. The New Era edition is won
derful achievement in newspaper en-
terprise.
George Roe, publisher of the VAL
lejo Times-From a literary stand
point the New Era edition of The Call
is one of the finest pieces of news
paper work ever got out on the Pacific
Coast.
State Senator ]. J. Luchsinger-For
a family paper The Call has no equal
on the coast. 1 have been taking The
Call from its start, and it is to-day the
best newspaper in the West.
Justice of the Peace John T. Ryan,
am prepared for nearIy anything from
The Call. The New Era edition is a
magnificent number.
EX-State Senator James McCudden-
The Call is growing in popularity here
and throughout the State. 1 congratu-
late it upon its success.
Thomas J. Sharkey, pugilist-I con-
slider The Call among the leaders on

Call was the first American paper
aboard ship to be read. The big paper
of to-day was great.
District Attorney Frank r. Devlin-
The San Francisco call., 1897-12-20

appearance and artistic excellence of
this issue of The Call is worthy of the
emulation of it's contemporaries.
A. j. Thatcher. attorney at law
The New Era edition of The Call is
certainly striking exception to the
general average of such publications.
1t exceeds them in the general inter
est of it's articles and its Topographic
cal appearance has seldom if ever
been equaled.
E. S. Wheelock, assistant cashier of
the bank of Ukiah-A careful eXami-
nation of the contents of the New Era
edition of The Call convinces one that
1T far excells any other edition of any
other daily issued on similar occa-
sions. The issue of $4,000 is immense,
and the necessarily great amount of
labor and time involved in it's publi-
cation has been amply rewarded by
the result achieved
G. II. Kent, merchant have made
cursory examination of the contents
of the New Era edition of The Call
and can say it is a buster in every
sense of the word.
T. L. Carothers, Mayor of Ulliah-
The New Era edition of The Call is
immeasurably superior in general in
terest, artistic excellence and typo
graphical appearance to any edition
issued on similar occasion by any
San Francisco daily.
]. L. Johnson, Deputy Sheriff-The
Call has certainly excelled them all in
the workmanship employed in it's big
issue. The general makeup of the pa
per, the interesting articles it contains
and the typographical appearance
have never been equaled.
Sam d. Paxton, ex-County Assessor
"A copy of the New Era edition of
The Call should be in every home in
the State and many should be sent to
the Eastern States and Europe, that
we may reap the benefit of the adver-
tising to California and her products.

MENLO PARK, Dec. 19.-There was
such a rush for the New Era Edition

dealers sold out half hour after re-
eelving the papers from San Francis
co. The newsboys on all the trains
were besieged by persons eager to get
The Call, and so great was the demand
that they could not more than half
fill the orders. A large installment of
Calls arrived on the noon train and
were readily disposed of. The Call
outclassed the Examiner in every wav.
1t is more interesting, brighter and
gives the States resources in clearer
and more concise form. It's artistic
excellence and typographical appear
ance were greatly commenced upon.

set a pace which can never be over
taken by it's rivals. The news in The

filth and sensationalism.
Colonel c. c. Royce i am more

Secrecy was, of course, out of the ques-

eyinced as to how the lady in question
would treat the query as to her age.
When her turn came she was equal TO
the emergency. She quietly filled In all

Notwithstanding the confessed impsr-

Experiment With Ants

Boyle, the well-known zoologist.
bnce noticed a swarm OF ants, ana
found that when two OF the ants met,
they put their heads together, as II they
had something to say to each other,
and were whispering in each others
ears. In order to obtain greater GER
tainty about the ability of ants to COM
municate information to each other ne
killed suddenly one of the ants being
well in advance of the greatest number
of the swarm. Those ants which were
near enough to witness the killing OF
one of their number fed hurriedly, but
stopped at the head Of the advancing
column, placing their antennae or feel
ers together with those OF the leaders
of the swarm. The advancing swarm
divided to the right and left, SO that
none OF the ants following passed the
body of the dead ant at any nearer dis
tance than six feet on either side, al
though the dead ant lay in the exact
| direction of the travelling swarm. This
| certainly speaks for the ability OF ths
| ants to communicate information Il
each other.
