over, on "Wednesday last, the stock bust.
ness again opened up in dead earnes.
The Short Line at once filed orders for
$50 cars, with the assurance that more
orders were to follow. This hold-bacA
was probably mainly caused by stock
men refusing to ship over the Rio
Grande. The long haul over that road
caused considerably more shrinkage

there are now orders fled with the Un-

Just turned 80 who found herself CON-
PEELED to selt-support. OF nne physique
and with an attractive face, she looked
no oder than her years, except that her
hair was white. She had been far-see,
ing enough in the days OF her prosperity
to perfect herself in shorthand. and,
when money-making became a necessity.
she began to apply for a position 40
with prompt Acknowledgements and
appointments for personal interviews;
but upon presenting herself at CONNER
cial house after house, she was more or
less bluntly told that she was too old,
that a young woman was wanted. Be-
ing a woman of curious turn of mind.
she Investigated the subject OF
gray-haired women in business. and
she discovered that there exists the
strongest prejudice against employing
hem, whatever their age. Brown or
black or blonde tresses have thus a dis
-inct commercial value. Reformers may
admonish women to sccrn the dying Of
whitening locks, but their ~p!eadings will
fall on deaf ears 80 long as. socially and

Effort to Have the Work of Publishing

Done by Students.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 1.-The. direc-
tors and managers of the various student
journals published at the university are
endeavoring to secure printing Office of
their own for use in the publication of
their papers. They have interested Presi-
dent Kellogg in the scheme and strong
effort VIII he made to obtain the necessary
material, as the plan would be of great
benefit to students.
There are three journals published at
the university which would be print tied in
the new office. They are the Daily Berke.
ieyan, Weekly Occident and University of
California Monthly Magazine. All OF
these are now printed in outside offices,
and the expense of having the work done
amounts to a sum that would help hard
working students through college. The
principal mover in the plan is the Stud
ents' Aid Society, which expects to be
able to find employment for many collie
gians when the desired type and presses
are secured.
1t is proposed to employ students in the
new printing office. There are many at
the university who understand type-set-
ting, and each year freshmen enter who
would be glad of the opportunity to work
their way through colle-e by setting type
This will be the greatest advantage of the

9O8 Broadway, Jan. 1.
The seats on either side of 300 feet of
table were thrice filed to-day with Oak
lands poor and needy. If any one in
this city started the new year with an
empty stomach it was not the fault OF the
Salvation Army. for, although they were
enabled to minister generously to the
physical needs of the. unfortunate, they
were prepared to attend to even. more
than presented themselves.
The large armory which adjoins the
meeting hall in the Washington-street
barracks was handsomely decorated, and
from noon 10 8: clock the stream of yisi-
tors never ceased. The tables were boun-
tifully supplied with all the good fare that
is considered necessary to happy enjoy
ment OF New Year s.day. The guests were
waited upon so cheerfully and gayly as to
make it appear that it was an honor TO
the uniformed brothers and sisters to
have them to minister unto.
Adjutant Reid and. his wife. who was
once an English Countess Hon. Emma
Sugden, Secretary Land, who is four
inches taller than. the next. tallest man in
the corps, and Lieutenant Bagiey, we're
the most prominent figures directing. the
little army of willing workers. Junior
lads and lassies were also present to help
supply the appetites of their guests, and
their bright uniforms and the beautiful
sunshine made the scene one of the most
cheerful that any one could desire.
1t was the same crowd at the table that
has existed for all. time. As Adiutant
Reid remarked, it was he same crowd that
Christ referred to when he said, "The poor
ye have with you always" Old and
young, seedy and semi-respecta BILE, the
willfully Door, and the honest who are
evidently struggling against adverse cir
cumstances were all gathered together
just as they always have been on similar
occasions and always will be.
1t was very evident that every body en-
joyed himself and perhaps it is not cyni-
cal to say that the one who derived most
satisfaction from the banquet was the m an
who took upon himself to criticize every
thing in sight, even to the dressing OF the
turkey. 1t is but just to say that this in

q practical turn and for several weeks sew
eral of them have been quietly. preparing
to take their departure and aid the Cuban
revolution. -
The idea that a Cuban agent. has been
quietly doing some work in San Francisco
and Oakland has been much doubted, but
it is an absolute fact that such person
is here and that he is only waiting for the
United States Congress to acknowledge
the beligerency OF the. Spanish colony,
army will set forht to help form the new
" republic. .,
Sergeant F. B. Thompson, privates G.
B. Crone, E. L. Williams and, Charles Con-
Ion have already accepted the:offer of the
Cuban agent and are prepared TO leave at
moments notice. All these young men
are members of local National Guard
company and they declare that there are
many more who. have taken 8 similar
stand. O..
IA definite offer has been made to US"
said Sergeant Thompson to-day, ''andwe
have accepted it. Of course we cannot do
anything definite until the political sitqa-
ton of Cuba is clearly efined in its rela-
tion to this country. After that is doae
then.we shall Immediately, go to Cuba.
Our contract provides for our .transporta-
ton and. in case of the. success of the re bel
arms we shall each receive large section
of land in the new republic. Should We
meet with death a certain sum is to be
paidto our relatives and in the case Of
defeat we should; of course, receive very
little. This is not altogether q matter of
patriotism; there is also business ele-
ment in it, and for strong young men the
outlook is certainly a bright one"
?: There have been several stories circu-
lated lately. regarding the recruiting of
men TO heIp.the. Cubans. but they have
not. been substantiated. Sergeant Thomp-
soh.is the first man.to state the terms of
. the proposition that is being made. by
-Cuba's agents. The headquarters OF the
recrniting officer are in San Francisco, and

men in that city waiting the action of
