A well-known sea captain Of this city
said yesterday that the White Star
steamship Britannia, which arrived yes

about the Britannia is that she is faster

MISCELLANY.

George Washington Woodruff in addi.
tion to being the greatest football coach
on earth is a man of versatile abilities in
other directions. He is an expert bill
lizard player, crack shot with the rife
or revolver, an adept golfer, one of the
best whist players in the country and a
musician of more than ordinary note.
Tn" latest field in which he has turned
his talents is that of hypnotism and it
is now said that the wonderful success
OF the Pennsylvania football players on
the gridiron and the grand unanimity of
team work displayed by them in the big
matches with other colleges is due to the
fact that the coach by reason Of his
mighty will power hypnotizes every
mothers son OF them early in the season
and they are thus forced to do his bid
ding and play the game on lines laid
down by him. THIS is joke.

AQUATICS.

CornelPs answer to Yale was master
piece. 1t was long in coming, but when
it came it was full OF force, fairness and
was impregnable, and its contents ex-
planned the delay. 1t was manly and
sportsmanlike. It was dignifed, but it
was not autocratic and it sought no ad-
vantage. 1t was broad to the extreme.
She asks but her rights. She agrees to
row Yale when and where the latter says
this year, but asserts similar rights for
herself next year. Although champion,
an insulted champion, insulted by Bit
ter contemplate enemy that she beat,
she shows no feeling, is dignifed and
asks no favors, only asserts right to half
the say. In connection with Issuing an
answer to Yale the Council gave out this
general summing up Of the situation, and
it is even more broad.minded and sports
manlike than the answer itself. 1t is
worth reproduction. 1t is worth filing
away for further reference. 1t is a last
ing tribute to fair sport and square Cor

Rowing prospects are brighter at Penn
sylvania this year than in either ''9G or
'97, the two in which Ellis Ward has
coached on his second engagement at
the University. But this is not saying
very much. When Ellis restarted with
the Quakers in '96 he was confronted
with a problem that no coach could hope
to solve in one year. Nearly all of the
the Woodruff crew of '95 were in college,
but they were loyal to Woodruff and dis.
loyal to Pennsylvania and refused to
row under Ward. They gave various
semi-plausible excuses, but the real truth
OF it was that they were nettled because
Woodruff was not to coach again. At
Pennsylvania mans rowing career
averages about one year. He makes one
bow to the public, composite affair.

wonder then that Pennsylvania always
crosses the finish line in CornelPs wake?
It is a wonder she rows her as close races
as she does. Then, again, the coach, as
a rule, has less than dozen men to se-
lect from. Last year there were but
seven men rowing quite well along in
the season, and an utterly useless man
had to be placed in the boat simply to

FOOT BILL.

The University Athletic Association
receives ST., 2,OS271 as its share of the
receipts of the Yale-Princeton football
game last November. This amount is an

when the contest was held on Manhat-
tan Field, Princeton's half of the receipts
was $l4, l56. s3, or 5000 more than she
received this year. and. had not Princeton
paid 1000 to assist in fixing up the

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MED
ICINE.
a Remarkably Successful Remedy for

Troubles.

DIR. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine. said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuable
and far reaching IN benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching, because
people little realize how important
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Brght's
disease, diabetes, nervous prostration,
liver troubles. Why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nourished
from the food We eat If that food is
by reason of a weak stomach compelled
to lie for hours, sour. fermentlns
mass of half-digested food, it poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which distends the stomach and
bowels, causing pressure on the heart.
lungs and other organs and seriously
impeding their action.
He says. further the point of direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach.
the first cause Of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomach is not some cathartic.
but a remedy which will digest the
food, increase the flow of gastric juice,
absorb the gases and Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble,
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin,
Golden Seal and Bismuth. pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine,
can be used by any one with perfect
safety. | believe Stuart's Dyspepsia

Other Objections.

Unless the City Trustees pass the or
dinance providing for a Milk and Food
Inspector over Mayor Lands veto, or
pass another ordinance that will over
come his objections to the present one,
the efforts of the Board of Health in
that direction will have been in vain
The Mayor has filed With the City Clerk
the following
VETO MESSAGE.
To the Board of Trustees: / herewith
return to you Ordinance No. -, enti-
tied AN ordinance creating the office
of Milk, Food and Market Inspector,
and fixing the salary and prescribing
the duties thereof" without my APP
proval
My reasons for disappearing said or
! dinance are as follows, to wit
| First-Said ordinance provides for
| salary of the Milk Inspector of S10O
per month, payable out of the general
fund OF the city of Sacramento, and
| in my judgment, considering the pres
ent state of the finances of the city,
! it will be impossible to meet the neces-
sary current expenses and pay said sal
| airy without creating a deficit at the
end of the year.
| Second-The term of two years
| should he reduced to one year, at the
end of which it could be determined by
the results of the years work whether
| or not it be advisable to continue said
office, and thereby save the salary of
said officer.
| Thrd-Should said ordinance be
passed over my first objection. it should
require the Milk Inspector to give
| bonds for the faithful performance of
| his duties.
Fourth-The power given the Milk
| Inspector by Ordinance No. - is. in
my judgment, too great, and should be
restricted.
| F'ifth-The county has an officer
known as the County Veterinary Sur
geon," whose duties are somewhat
| similar to those provided for in Ordl-
nance No. -, and it is unnecessary at
this time, considering the state of our
finances, to create the additional office
of Milk Inspector" Respectfully sub
mitted, VIM. LAND, Mayor.
