College Athletics

A distinguished writer in pamphlet pub

citation, says that an immense improvement
in the moral and physical status Of college
graduates has taken place since the intro
duction of athletic games in college. In
fact the honor list of any college, If ex-
amined, will show the names Of prominent
athletes among the few who have earned
that proud distinction. There is no reason
why brain and Drawn" should be antag-
onistic. In support Of this last PROPOSE
ton the action of that genial invigorant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which in
strengthening the body increases mental
activity, may be authoritatively cited.

pepsia peculiar to persons of sedentary

garding the Affair

There were no developments yesterday
in the fire at the Rawson house on Beaudry
avenue near Sixth street Sunday night, but
the matter is still being quietly investi-
gated.
Mrs. ]. W. Martin, who was formerly
Mrs. Rawson, was seen by Herald re-
porter last evening at her apartments in
the Downey block, and made statement
in regard to the affair. She said that an
injustice had been done her in the state
ment that when her barn was burned three
years ago everything, including the
chickens, had been removed. On the con-
trary, practically everything was in the
barn, and most of it had been destroyed.
The house which was burned, Sunday
night was furnished completely. and had
been leased to Mr.. and Mrs. Allen, who
had paid the rent Sunday, and had expected
to move into the house Monday. This house
had been insured for $4,000, and the furni-
ture for $500. Whether anybody had been
at the house Sunday night Mrs. Martin was
unable to say and she did not care to ven-
ture any theory as to the cause of the fire.

Major Davis Here

Maj Davis Of the engineer corps, U. s.
A., was in the city yesterday. He came
up from San Pedro in the afternoon, where
he had inspected wooden trestle bridge
erected by a lumber company of that place
for it's own convenience especially. Since
1890 a government law has existed that
demands bridges built over nav1gable
streams to be inspected by an engineer in
the employ of the United States. That, the
major claimed, was the purpose of his
visit to this district, and that it has no
latent significance. The major declined to
express himself as to the probabilities of
San Pedro being made deep water harbor
soon.
