 ciation.

The new bylaws prepared by the committee for the revision of bylaws, consisting of G. T. s. White, R. B. Hogue and w. G. Morrow, were read over by Treasurer R. B. Hogue and discussed. The principal differences between the old bylaws and the new are found in the rules regulating the nomination and election of officers and upon these sections there was much discussion The bylaws were accepted with some amendments, which are to be incorporated by the revision com nnittee.
 A communication was read from Dr. c. l.. Tisdale, president of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association, express ing hope that delegates from the San Francisco Yacht Club would be sent to the next meeting of the association. After considerable discussion and a strong protest from one. or two mem bers against re-entering the association until an acknowledgment be received from its officials that an injustice was done two years ago to the San Francis co Yacht Club, it was decided to re- enter the association.
 Next Saturday evening there will be a hop at the new home of the San Francisco Yacht Club, for which invi- tations may be obtained by members on application to the secretary. Visitors may take the 7:25 ferryboat from the city and. ss launch will leave the club house wharf about IL o'clock to take them back.

PACIFIC COAST COMMERCE. The Matter of Its Protection Has Been Considered at Washin gton.

Several weeks ago the Chamber of Com merce sent to the Pacific Coast Represen- tatives at Washington copies of a resolu- ton asking for better protection for commerce on the Pacific Coast from the depredations of Spanish privateers that it was feared might prey upon the yes sells of the Pacific Ocean. The matter was taken up by the parties addressed, and yesterday the chamber received the following copy of letter sent by Secre- tary Long of the Navy Department to Senator Perkins and Congressman Hil- born

ELECTION FRAUDS AT
 STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Faculty Committee Finds Evidence of
 Much Illegal Voting.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 16- Since the appointment by pr. Jordan of the faculty committee to investigate the charge of fraudulent and illegal voting in the last student body election, the college has been on the qui vive. The probable findings of the committee and the accu- mulating evidence of unfair play have been the main topics of conversation since the big mass-meeting of Friday last To- day the estigators-Professors Bran ner, Elliott, Greer, Durand and Whittier made their report and the suspense was ended.
 After three days of careful inquiry the committee became convinced that a re- election for all contested offices was neces- sary. Developments since the scrutiny began show that the names of forty-six students who cast no ballots were marked in the register as voted. But two voted who were not scratched from the polling list In the ballot-box were found 918 votes, while the catalogue of students showed 902 who had deposited tickets. All told there were about sixty votes in the box that did not belong there.
 Who the guilty or crinlinally careless persons are will probably never be known, for the system, being loose one, there are always many opportunities for dis honesty from the time the voting begins until the ballots are counted.

FUNERAL OF THE
 GALLANT ENSIGN.
The United States and North Caro- lima Pay Tribute to Slain
 Worth Bagley.

Worth Bagley.
 RALEIGH, May 16.-The United States and North Carolina to-day paid noble tribute to the memory of the gallant ensign, Worth Bagley, the first officer killed in the war with Spain. Nothing to approach to-days funeral pageant was ever seen here The body arrived late last night and was met by an escort of volunteers and taken to the house of Ensign Bag ley's widowed mother, where a detail of troops kept constant guard. The love of all classes of people for the dead officer was shown in the stream of callers and wealth of floral tributes. The latter came from near and far, and it was significant that most of them were red white and blue. On the casket were the dead officers chapeau and sword.
 The body remained at the house until 2:3O o'clock this afternoon, when it was taken to the Capitol and placed in the rotunda. The rotunda was draped in the national and State colors.
 A steady stream of people flowed by for two hours. The face was not ex- posed. It was reported that it was dis figured by the explosion of the shell, but this was inaccurate. The face wore a smile. The casket was removed from the rotunda at o'clock and placed in front of the statue of Washington, where the exercises were held in the presence of the family and the city clergy and 10000 people, including all the United States, State and city off, cials, military veterans, cadets and school children. Colonel Thomas S. Kennon was master of ceremonies. Fifteen thousand people saw the pro- cession. All business was suspended during the exercises.
 The ceremonies at the grave were brief, consisting of the committal to the grave, prayer and benediction, and a hymn, "The Seaman's Prayer"
 As the procession moved eleven guns were fired by battery and eleven were fired at the grave, and then two regi- ments fired three volleys. The body was buried quite near the grave of En- sign Bagley's grandfather, Governor Worth.
 The ceremonies were marked by deep public feeling. and the military DOT ton of them was that proper at the burial of a brigadier- general.

80 satisfactory has it been in the three
latter points that think it may be we'll
to give description of it. The stable
and barn proper are $50 feet long by 80
feet wide. The stable, eight feet high,
has two rows of stalls with cattle facing
the feeding aisle, which is six feet wide.
There are two silos at the north end of
400 tons capacity, with passage be-
tween them the same width as the feed
ing aisle. The dairy room and icehouse
are north of the silos, with engine house
attached. The boiler house is 90 feet
off to avoid danger of fire and higher
rate of insurance. Three doors in each
silo, one above the other, open into the
passage. A car with box 10 feet long
and foot deep and that exactly fits be-
tween the silos runs the full length of
the stable. 1t carries enough ensilage at
once for the 88 cattle that the stable
holds. The wheels are Hanged and run
ON oak tracks. The barn above is 30 feet
to the apex and is arranged so that there
are no cross beams to interfere with the
operation of unloading hay with sings
or to be strained with the weight of hay
as it settles. Each bent has two purlin
posts 10 feet apart with braces 20 feet
long reaching from sill, near outside
post, to within four feet of top of purl-
in post, into which it is tenoned and
bolted. Braced this way barn cannot
collapse or be blown down
Two driveways are entered from the
east side where the ground is high. At
each side Of the driveways, yet close to
them so that the proper filling of mows
is not prevented, are openings through
the floor directly over the feeding aisle
through which the car can be filed with
hay, cut cornstalks, etc., and quickly
carried to any part of the stable. Thirty
feet of the barn next to the silos is used
for meal bins, grinder, ensilage and
fodder cutter, etc. From the stable a
slide can be drawn from the bottom of
the meal bins and the desired quantity
of meal run into the car The engine is
on higher ground, and from it a belt
passes between the silos (high enough
to be out of the way to countershaft
across the end of the barn, with pulleys
to suit the different machines. Being
able to run all the machines at once
saves time and fuel and enables us to
utilize wet and stormy days to advan-

We have heard of practice among
some human brutes that drive horses in
London which nobody but fiend could
apparently devise When they wish to
punish heavy draft horse, they back
him against something, take a rein of

Try ensilage for your sheep this year
Most farmers delay cutting clover hay
too long 1t should be cut just as the
blossoms are fully open, if not indeed
little before that. There is great art
in cutting both timothy and clover hay
just at the right time, before the hard
ening of full ripeness begins to set in.
The hay is more juicy and nutritious.
Cut clover as close to the ground as you
can. By making the first cutting early
you will often be able to get three or
four crops off the ground and it will
not hurt the soil i'll the least.

Cure Effected.

The wise physician frequently finds
it necessary to minister to a mind dis
eased' rather than to the body that
merely sympathizes with it. A young
woman who had gone from her home in
an inland village to visit friends in the
great city for the first time in her life
soon began to lose all appetite and grow
thin and hollow eyed.
Her friends, fearing that she was go
ing into q decline. called in physician
in spite of her protests and asked him
to prescribe for her. He asked a few
questions, noted her symptoms, gave
her malady a scientific name and said
as he handed her bottle of pellets:
"It will be necessary, miss, first Of
all, for you to leave the crowded city.
The air here is not good for you. Have
you friends in the country?'
why, / live in the country, doctor, -
she replied
Every good. Return, then, to your
home, engage in light exercise, with
frequent walks in the open air, and take
five of these pellets every morning be-
fore breakfast. .
She returned to her village home, OBJ
served the doctor s directions faithfully,
paying particular attention to taking
tha medicine, and was well in less than
week.
Meeting the family phsyician one
day, it occurred to her to tell him her
experience. He listened to her, asked to
see the pellets, tasted them, and, finding
them to be merely sugar unmedicated,
said;
ssWhat did your city doctor tell you
was your ailment9"
He said it was nostalgia.

gia means?''

Dairy and Creamery.

In rainy seasons in early summer the
grass is watery, consequently the cream
is thin and the butter made from it is
soft. When this is the case, cool the
cream down rapidly and churn it at as
low temperature as you can make the
butter come Having the cream cold
when you churn will help the appear
ance and favor of the butter
When the pasture is watery, give the
COWS considerable additional dry feed.
This will in measure counterfeit the
effect of the grass.
A cheesemaker reports that be presses
curd successfully at temperature as
low as So degrees, but he would not do
so ordinarily when it was colder than
70 degrees.
For shipping butter the ST pound
square package is regarded as the best.
For local trade nothing goes off SO
well as pound and half pound prints. A
one pound print that is divided by q
ridge or depression in the print into
four equal parts, SO that a quarter may
be cut off at time, is very convenient
and popular.
When you employ starter for ripen-
ing cream, use from to s per cent as
much of the starter as you have of
cream.
