Miss HamiitOn'S Caller.

Among the seasons visitors to the
capital was a Western clergyman of
more culture, reading and thought
than knowledge of the world. He
wanted to see all there was to be seen,
but most of all did he desire to meet
and have a word with Gail Hamilton.
1t took him several days to summon up
his courage, but at last ne boldly pre-
sented himself at the Blaines' door and
asked for Miss Hamilton" About
three hours later the friend met him
descending the steps of the house, one
broad smile of delight and satisfaction.
"Ahv' exclaimed the confident. Il
congratulate you. So you have met
your dear Gail Hamilton. / can see
it in your face
That face fell--grew remorseful
.'N-no," he stammered. Il didn't
meet her-she didn't come down, and,
the fact is, 1 forgot to ask for her."
Forgot to ask for her?'
"Oh, | sent up my card of course.
but a lady came down. a Miss Dodge
and, my dear fellow, you never saw
such a woman in your life, I suppose
that Miss Hamilton must have been
out: she didn't mention her but she
began to talk to me. and in two min
utes | forgot what ] had gone for.
never could have believed that any per-
son, man or woman, could know so
much. | believe we talked on every
subject in the world, and she knew
everything about every one of the sub
jects. I was never SO surprised as
when lot of people came in and l
found how long ] had been there: and
didnt want to come away one bit
then, can tell you; and, till you spoke,
I'd forgotten all about Miss Hamilton.

to pay. this piece of advice, to the value
of which he, the housebreaker, could
professionally attest: First never to
have large watchdog out of doors, but
to keep little yelping terrier within:
and secondly, to put no trust in nice,
clever gimcrack locks, but to pin his
faith to huge cid heavy one with a
rusty key. Scott long remembered this
incident, and thirty years later, at a
Judges dinner at Jedburgh, he recalled
it in this impromptu rhyme:
Yeiping terrier, rusty KEY.

WILLIAMS ECCENTRICITIE

The story is again current, as it is
every two years at least, that the EN-
peror of Germany is light in the upper
story; that his mental condition is not
sound. There is certainly warrant for
the belief that he is eccentric, at least.
This may be attributed, however, to his
exaggerated belief that he is the chief
of all sovereigns, and that all there is
of Germany is compassed by his royal
title and person. No monarch who has
ruled in Germany, before or since unity,
has entertained such an exaggerated
idea of himself or placed SO lofty
estimation upon his own capacity and
genius. In the celebration of Tuesday
in honor of his grandfather, the first
William, he certainly went to extremes
that would justify the suspicion of his
being ratified" mentally. In the posi-
tion he has taken on the Grecian ques-
ton he has gone to greater extremes
than any of the other Powers. He was
very eccentric in the Transvaal matter,
and came very near breaking off the
amicable relations between Germany
and England because of the coarse and
offensive manner in which he spoke
and acted in the time of the trouble
with the Beers. He is not a robust
man. His health is uncertain; he is
withered arm; he has an tissue" be-
hind his ear, and he suffers no little
from bodily pain. All these things have
given rise to the stories that float to
the surface every now and then that
the Emperor is irresponsible, mentally
unsettled. But we have no idea that
William is crazy. He is puffed up be-
yond all reason by self-importance; he
has an inflated idea of his office; he
is intoerant of any manifestation by
the people looking towards a spread of
democratic doctrines; he has plainly
stated and unreservedly that he does
not consider the present forms of gov
ernment in the German Empire suffi-
GENTLY restricted; he would enlarge
rather than narrow the powers of the
crown. 1t is not surprising, then, that
German and English papers should dis
cuss with more or less nervousness the
question of Williams mental condition
That they do so is a fact, however 1t
is to be accounted for because of the
present critical condition of affairs in
Europe and the involvements regarding
the Cretan question.

DIR. Rottanzi's high hat ordinance was

action of managers would now produce

report The Record Union" is by no
means an advocate of legislation as
cure-all. 1t holds that there is too
much legislation as a rule. 1t believes
that the attempt to regulate things has
been literally run into the ground"
and has become positive injury. But
this Is not conceding that there should
be no resulative legislation at all. The
report of the San Francisco committee
carefully avoided saying that the evil
aimed at did not exist. Nor did the
committee deny that there ought to be
reform in the matter. On the contrary
they admit that there is need for
corrective. by saying that the threat of
the ordirS@Hse and the agitation will
accomplish all that is desired. In this
the committee is mistaken; II will do

so as to obstruct the view, the wearing
of his hat by man in an indoor audi
ence, the lifting of an umbrella in a
crowded auditorium, all which are Of
fenses, and the interposition of a wo-
mans hat between the spectator and
the thing he pays to see. If there is
any dissimilarity in the offenses we
would very much like to have them
pointed out There is no statute re-
quiring a man to sit uncovered in an
audience. Yet if he is so daring as to
remain covered he will certainly be
arrested Why? Because his head piece
obstructs the view Of some one behind
him, not because it is in any other re-
than if held in his hand. However,
dismissinss the matter, since woman is
a tyrant and will continue in this mat
ter to WELD absolute sway for a while,
we reflect that the time will come when
the native good sense of our wives,
and daughters will rescue them
absurd of fashions now holds them.
There was a street brawl in Portland,
Or, the other evening with a sequel in
the Police Court of that city. The
chief participants in the braWl, which
the 'Oregonian" pronounces shameless,
were several young girls. But the sur
prising thing of all others in the case
is recorded by our contemporary, who
says the girls all belonged TO respecta-
bic families. And that is the woe OF 1t
that these respectable families are
thus disgraced, and by respectable we
mean those who are held in respectful
regard by their neighbors, who are hon
est and industrious, and maintain clean
and honorable stations in life. Yet,
with all that respectability could at
tach to a family, we cannot repress the
thought that away back of it all there
was something lacking, something for
which the household was blameWorthy,
when the daughters became so lost to
control that they went out upon the
highways and engaged in a brawl.
There was in those families failure to
cultivate self-respect, to build up the
moral safeguards, to implant deep and
sure the principles that are abhorrent
of such conduct as is charged against
these girls Away back Of respectable
ity we cannot but think that there was
something in the bringing up OF these
girls for which the parents and the
family must be held accountable. We
quite agree with the 'Oregonian" when
it says:
While it is Impossible not to feel an
of pity for parents thus pub
licly disgra ced by the conduct OF their
young daughters, it is also impossible
not to censure them for grave derelic-'
ton of duty The idea that girls should
be protected from evil associations ana
early inculcated with the virtue of stay
ing at home and becoming learned In
ways may be an old one,
but woe betide the family or the COM
iii which it becomes obsolete
Or is recklessly disregarded.
Reform schools are we'll enough for
the wayward, and for those yet suscep-
tible of salvation from the ways of
ruin. But we sometimes think that
reform schools for parents are quite as
much needed. The respectable family
owes it to the State as we'll as itself
to so discipline it's household as not to
of parental neglect and in
capacity.

The plaintiff was terre- tenant under
the lessor and as such had title to the
crop, modified only by the interest Of his
partner; under authority from him the
lessor had bargained the crop to pros
pective purchasers, but there was no
delivery, nor agreement for a present
transfer, and hence no completed sale;
therefore a declaration in the written
notice served by plaintiff on the attach
ing officer that the lessor owned por-
ton of the crop was but a mistaken
statement of opinion on the legal effect
of prior transactions, and could not
operate to divest title to the crop.

How Reliance and Gilt Edge
Were Expelled From
the Tournament.
Mr.. Heeseman Denies That a
Meeting Was Held for
That Purpose.
Iberg and Peters Are Now the Bat
terry for the Stockton
Team.

The yellow journal, in extenuation of
its managerial efforts in baseball and IN
its attempts TO confuse and misead the
public, makes many blunders and false
statements.
1t has published IL It's columns that at a
meeting of the managers of all the clubs
in the tournament, known as the Exam
iner tournament, it was unanimously de-
Cided not to reinstate the Gilt Edge and
Reliance mines.
c. J. Heeseman, an Oakland merchant.
and who has club in the tournament,
emphatically denies that such a meeting
was ever held, and if il were, the Heese-
man nine was not represented. conse.
quentiy any action taken by the meeting
did not express the unanimous concur
renee OF the clubs in the tournament
When Gilt Edge and Reliance heard of
their suspension they very wisely con-
cluded TO remain out, and they did so.
Al the meeting in Mayor Phelan's office
Lanse, captain of Reliance, tontended
that Gilt Edge and Reliance had violated
no rule governing the tournament, but.
on the contrary, in playing an exhibition
game at Sacramento they had conformed
TO the rules, one OF which declared that
games DeANeSn CluOS com pos
ing the tournament could be played where
they did not oufiict with the schedule of
the tournament games.
Tom Mcguire is another of those crack
players VINO has received an offer from
the yellow journal to desert his cam and
play in the tournament games. Mcguire
is the crack first baseman of the Reliance
nine. "Pd rather pay my own expenses
and play in a vacant lot, sail he vester-
day, than play in Central Park ii l r.

Iberg and Peters. the great battery of
the California Markets, have signed with
Stockton of the California State League.
The club is in a bad way. and it's disrup-
tion can be expected at any time.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 4. = Secretary
Pringle of the Examiner baseball tourna-
nsent said tonight: THE total receipts of
the games were not taken charge of by the
committee. Its practice is to send
man to the box Office. and he remains
there till the 20 per cent is paid him for
charity and teams receive their 10 per cent
each. The 50 per cent was left with the
management. The committee handled no
money except that which was apportioned
TO charity. The committee personally
took no other part IL the financial busi-
ness of: the tournament. but was repre-
sented by man who was appointed by
Mayor Pbelan. l forget his name. He
took the 20 per cent and banked 1t, and
reported 10 me and through me to the
committee the amount he had received.
We have now between $4,000 and
$1,000 on hand and have not paid out any,
although we have passed a resolution to
pay $1,000 10 the Thanksgiving dinner 10
the poor. We have had nothing to do
with the spending of tue go per cent, that
being entirely in the hands of the man.

that amount was absolutely necessary to

We are paying each team 20 rer cent.
