AT SCHUETZEN PARK.
D. B. Faktor Wins the California Club
 Diamond Medal.

The rifemen of the California etzen Club made a lion of D. B. Faktor at Schuetzen Park yesterday hurrahed for him, toasted him and sang his praise in lyric Verse-almost went to the extreme of carrying him around on their should CTS, so high was their enthusiasm. Faktor is now a ''Uig gun" because by the best average for the past year he won the diamond medal, which he proudly wore away from the park.
 The score of this keen-eyed marksman for the year was 3172 Seven of his shots measured less than one-half an inch from a dead center.
 The medal for the best first shot of the year was awarded to F. P. Schuster and for the best last shot to A. Strecker. J. Tammeyer took the gold medal in the cadets class and E. Woenne was awarded the second medal.
 In the regular monthly bullseye contest of the California Club J. Jones of San Quentin took first place. with J. F. Robin son and C. J. Walden, both from the same classic villa, respectively second and third. The score in detail was as fol- lows:
 J. Jones 651, J. L, Utschig Jr 735, J. F. 916, A. Breuss 927, O. Burmester 1Os7 A. Strecker Ill, O. Bremen HAS. NJ Reubold 1l9S, A. Hampel 1233. R. Finking 1928. L. Reubold 129S Charles Sagehorn 1295, Captain F. At tinger 1347, H. Kuhls 1886, A. N. Boyen 1926, J D. f. A. 1880, R: stettn 2ll1. j. Straub 2163, A. Utschig 2302, W. Nolden 2is7, Phlo Jacoby PISA
 Lieutenant R. kommer of the San Francisco Turner's, distinguished himself after the fashion of Faktor by winning the diamond medal of that organization making an average score of 81. Medals were won by others in the following order:
 J. Utschig ST 1o6. o. Bremen 146 J. Goessner 155, PhiIo Jacoby 159 In the drum corps shoot B. Jonas the first and F. KrinckeI the second medal.
 The Verein Eintracht monthly bullseye contest resulted in the marksmen lining up as follows: First, R. Stettin; second, H. Schweiger; third. J. Zahn; fourth A. Wirtner; fifth, c. Muller; sixth, c. Von Hartwlg; seventh, c. F. Ouer; eighth C. Suehrstedt; ninth c. Ellinger
 At noon the marksmen of the California Club were banqueted in the pavilion by Fred Schumann. Philo JacOby, the orator, drew attention to the fact that the or ganzation is the only one in America that owns it's park and shooting stands The final amount on it's indebtedness was paid last week. The name of Albert Ehrenp- fort. the president of the club was loudly cheered, as was a reference to his feat at Manila in killing three Spaniards in three consecutive shots. Ehrenpfort has never written home about this, but his friends have not been so modest.
 Philo Jacoby will be the next president of the club The annual election of officers will occur on the first Tuesday in Janu- ary.

FIGHT FOR A COURTROOM. Judge Mogan Steals a March on the
 Newly Eleo+ecI -t.-ges.

Since the recent elections there has been much speculation as to which of the Po- lice Judges would occupy the court room now occupied by Judge Joachimsen. Judge-clect Graham, who has been Prose cutting Attorney of the court, considered that he had the best right to it. but Judge Mogan differed from him and believed that he had q prior right to 1t on the ground of seniority.
 The City Hall Commissioners met last Thursday and passed resolution trans ferring Court No. to Court No. 3. and vice versa. and yesterday afternoon Judge .ferred his desk and other furniture to gJudce Joachimsen's chambers and took the trouble to transfer Judge Joachimsen's $ vacated by him. The sign on the door was also changed from No. to No. and new locks were placed on the doors Judge Mogan will therefore in future hold court in the larger and more commodious court room.

CYCLISTS ON THE DIAMOND.
olympics Defeat the Bay Citys for
 the Hammersmith Trophy.

Hits kicks and two grateful umpires were the principal incidents of yester- days ball game between the Olympic Club Wheelmen and the Bay City Wheelmen. The former got the decision, thereby placing themselves on equal terms with the Bay Citys for the Hammersmith trophy.
 The doughnut chasers got to work right at the start and gathered in nine runs in seven innings while the Bay Citys were showing two men across the plate.
 Then Fuller went to pieces and his as- sociates nearly had heart failure when the Bay Cltys scored five runs in the eighth. Two more came in the ninth, but the Olympians took one in their half of the eighth, winning the game by the fol- lowing score:

Referring to temperance waves
which seems to occur about every six.
teen years the current number of the
Journal of lnebrety, says that another
great wave is in sight and coming in
with more rapidity and intensity than
any former movements. This is the
temperance reform of educational in
stitutions.n Even among medical men,
it is pointed out, "the use of alcohol as
remedy is rapidly declining, and the
danger Cf alcohol as a medicine is as
serted and defended by facts and au-
thorties which are rapidly increasing
Each temperance wave, whether social,
religious, scientific or political, brings
the subject into greater prominence
throws clearer light on the problems,
serves to eliminate the errors and is
evolutionary in the highest meaning of
that term This valuable and en-
couraging testimony Is from the stand
point not of hot-headed "fanaticism,"
but of cool calculating science.
The war is doing not little to bolster
up the arguments Of the anti-ciearet
crusaders. The cigaret habit is respon-
sible for large proportion OF "reject-
ions IN the army and navy. Many a
would-be soldier boy is sent home as
unfit for regular service because of his
use of those poisonous little "cofiin
tacks." We do not like to mention the
bicycle alongside of the deadly cigaret,
but while recognizing the wheel as a
friend and emancipation of man and OF
woman, it cannot be denied that there
is an abuse as a well as right use of

Strange SDnnish CU.tom

In some places in Spain, among them
Vergara, where Coli, the anarchist.
was garroted, an old custom prevails Of
arresting the eXecutioner Immediate
ly after the execution and charging him
with murder before the court of justice.
"Yes, killed man." answers the exc
cutioner, "but I did il in the name Of
the law, for the benefit Of society, and
in obedience 10 the commands of your
honor" Then the court discharges
him, saying that justice had been done.
