persons, schemers and clerks, with only a

spring remedies.
In sharp contrast with these risky prep

worthy the name in the estimation of

No department at Washington just now
so absorbs the attention OF the people as
the splendidly growing, formidable navy.
1t is not to the gold-lace Annapolis grad
yates that the brunt of the responsible
work falls, but to he able department
officials, OF whom Discussing Officer +. Fl.
Stickney is one. A letter from him says:
Having taken Paine's celery compound
for the last few weeks l have found it
perfect spring remedy, and been much
benefited by it."
Spring is the decisive time in the life of
every person out of health. 1t is an as
sured fact that stubborn disorders become
quickly durable in the spring. This is es-
pecially true of such persistent troubles as
rheumatism, neuralgia and obstinate kid
ney diseases.
No one, sick or well, can afford to "try"
uncertain remedies in spring. or any other
time.

BADLY BURNED.
James H. Ross DR., Painter, Meets
With Terrible Accident-It
May Prove Fatal.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April 90-James H.
Ross Jr., painter, was terribly burned at
the residence OF w. r. Van Brunt, at 1927
Encinal avenue, this afternoon by the
catching fire OF mixture of wax and tur-
pentine which he was heating on a stove
for use. In some way the stuff caught
fire, probably by boiling over, and the
flames were quickly communicated to the
wood work of the kitchen. Ross saw the
fire and at once rushed into the house
He seized the mixture, which was in a
blaze and ran into the yard with it. In
an instant after reaching the open air
Ross was enveloped in flames, which cov-
cred him from head to foot. Instead of
throwing himself on the ground and roll
ing to extinguish the flames, he became
frantic and ran about tine yard screaming
for help.
Just as Ross ran from the burning house
a little child of the Van Brunts was run
ming into the building and was in immi-
nent danger of catching fire. A carpenter
named j. Chalmers. who was at work on
the house, ran to the scene, and, seeing
the little one. grabbed it just in time to
prevent it from coming in contact with
Ross and his flaming clothes. Having
put the child in place OF safety, he went
i'm med lately 10 Ross assistance, and aided
in extinguishing the flames after which
he took part in putting out the fire In the
house. Medical aid was at once sum-
moned for Ross and all wa, done that was
possible. After the burns had been dressed
he was taken to the sanitarium on San
Jose avenue for treatment. He is very
seriously injured and suffers terribly, and
if, as probable, he inhaled any OF the fire
his condition will be critical.

woodward Again Opened.
OAKLAND, CAL, April 30.-The direct
ors OF the Associated Charities, who closed
up the woodward last week, have decided
to reopen it, and it is now in operation.
1t was found that the cost of running it
was. on accountof the small interest in it,
greater than the experiment justified. An
agreement has been made by which the
present superintendent, j. Beale, will run
it under the auspices of the Associated
Charities, but in such a manner that it
shall not cost the institution anything.

The '99 men will not spare either fac Guilty

A NOTICEABLE feature OF '9S's book is the
absence of reference to Professor Albin
Putyker, the star of many volumes and
the SUBJECT of sketches and jokes without
number. Never before since the professor
of German came to Berkeley has he been
spared by the editors of a Blue and

walton was done to quiet visits made by
the professor to members of Editor Rec

professor. who is regarded as one OF the
best subjects in the university, will not
escape so easily this time.

Jakey Baumgarten was the hero of

way from Seventh street. The animal had
evidently taken fright while it's driver was
away from the wagon and being I'M
hitched it tore away up Broadway at
lively gait.
Jakey was standing at the corner Of
Eighth and Broadway when the animal
rushed past. Some of the passers-by in a
spirit of jest said to him: Catch that,
Jakey." A second later Jakey was half
way across the street and pursuing that
horse ana wagon at a speed which would
give him first prize in any athletic contest
on Berkeley's campus.
For couple, of blocks the chase was
kept up, and Jakey gradually deere a sed
the distance between himself and the tail
of the wagon. Near Tenth street Jakey
put on squirt and got his hands on the
rear of the wagon, and with few springs
he tumbled into it. He seemed to land on
his head and shoulders, but before an
other second had elapsed Jaksy had
scrambled his way along to the seat and
was grasping for the reins.
Just at this instant woman and child
/ came out of the drugstore on the corne
and were about to cross the road before
noticing the runaway. Hundreds of peo-
| pie yelled to them to step back, but it
only had the effect OF confusing them and
causing them to look the wrong way. A
| few more steps and they would undoubt-
eddy have been under the horses feet;
but lust in the nick of time Jakey tugg ed
on the reins with sufficient force to check
the animal and turn it across the road be-
fore the woman realized the danger to
which she had been exposed.
Jakey drove the wagon back the way it
had come turned it over to its owner and
was rewarded with the munificent sum of
two bits.

might. 1t is generally thought that If he
pitches up to his standard of two weeks
ago Berkeley will win to-morrow's base
bail game, the decisive ore of the season,
from Stanford
The rest of the blue and gold team are
players all expert in their places. With
Harrisburg in good form the present Cali
fornia nine is declared to be the best that
Berkeley ever had. Two weeks ago the
men played an errorless game and since
then have practiced diligently under
Coachers Mott and Cohen and with the
exception Of Hoag, center fielder, all are
in irst-class condition. Hoag's injured
finger is much improved, but is still sore
and may cause him pain in catching flies,
but he is a steady, sure and plucky player
and it is confidently expected that he will
put up his usual game.
II Berkeley wins, the blue and gold will
have achieved season victory, the first
since 1892, and will have a chance for the
silver trophy offered by the University
Club. If the cardinal is victorious the
trophy will go permanently to Palo Alto.
The California team will be as follows:
Harrisburg, pitcher; Wheeler, catcher;
Hennessy. first base; Elston, second base;
Krug. third base; Kuster, shortstop;
Sykes, right field; Hoag, center field;
