 More than fifteen million dollars is spent annually in the United States for golf. It all goes for the pleasure of swinging iron mallets and skillfully driving gutta percha balls over haz- ards and Dunkers. In. proportion to the number of persons engaged it is the most expensive amateur sport in the world. The figures are given by an expert who has gathered statistics from every one of the 600 clubs in the e untry, and do not include the thou sands of dollars spent by owners of private grounds. They are probably far below the actual amount. The in vestments of the clubs represented are more than thirty million dollars.

It is worth while to listen to MT. Cnamberlain's suggestion that the re- sponsibility of governing colonies may elevate the tone of American public life. Nothing is more probable, it might almost be said more certain, than that increased political responsi- teresting, attracting other men to it and giving broader subjects of contem- rlation to the voters, will do much to make us fit for better local govern nent. By governing others we shall learn how better to govern ourselves. Ii we retain tie Philippines men who are now bored by politics may soon be fascinated by them.

"If it hadn't been for him, Cervera might have gotten away with one or two ships. We all think Schley is the crackajack of the Ihavy." What do you think of Dewey?" We don't know so much about him, because we haven't fought under him, but they say he's a wonder" Who is the crack gunner in the nayy?'' They've got a man on the Texas who can kill mosquito at four miles with a 12-incn gun. At half a mile he can knock the spots cut of five of hearts with 1-pounder. When we consider that '1-pounder" is an inch and three-eightns in diameter, while a heart spot is half an inch, the marvel GUS skill Of the Texas gunner is ap- parent.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

The man who succeeds is the man who forms acquaintances. Recluses become cynics, and cynics have no friends. Many ex- pect people to find them out. These get left. The dealer who keeps his name before the pub lie familiarizes evry one with his name and business. After a while those who have seen his name so often have a sort of feeling that they know him. They think, too, and they are not in error, that the fellow who is not afraid to let the public know something about himself is worth knowing. The successful business men are those who use printers ink freely.

LATE ADOLPH SUTRO.
Funeral Services Held at His Old
Home-The Body Cremated.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O.-The fu-
neral of Adelph1 Sutro took place to-day
from his old home at the Cliff. NO
great crowds visited the old home to-
day, the immediate family wishing to
spend the last few hours in quiet, ana
no pomp, no ostentation, no display
marked the service. The floral trlp-
utes were handsome in the extreme,
and there was not room enough IN the
death chamber to contain them all.
Very few of the most intimate fr1ends
of the dead man had been invited TO
attend the service.
The ceremony ws brief in the ex-
treme. Rabbi Nieto conducted the serv-
ices according to the Jewish rites in
the simplest manner. No extended
words of eulogy were spoken concern
Ing the dead man, but a few comfort
ing thoughts to those he had left be-
hind No choir chanted in melancholy
strains but all was quiet and simplicity.
No honorary pail had been Sc
lected to accompany the remains TO
their last resting place.
When the rabbi had concluded, quick
ly the casket was raised from its place
and conveyed to the hearse outside the
door. Then the funeral cortege was
formed. and down the gentle slope,
through the quiet, wooded spot that
had been his home, was carried all
that remained of Adolph Sutro.
The body was cremated at the Odd
Fellows Cemetery, no ceremony being
observed.

CLARK MUST HANG.
The Supreme Court Affims the
Judgment of the Lower.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-The Su-
preme Court to-day affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court, which had
sentenced George w. Clark to be hanged
for murder.
The story of Clark's crime is one re-
voting in the extreme. For years prior
to the commission of the crime Clark
had been intimate with the wife of his
brother. Finally Clark deliberately
murdered his brother, hoping thereby
to marry the widow The murder &C.
CURED at st. Helena.
In discussing the case, the Supreme
Court said: Apparently the appeal has
been abandoned, since the appellants
counsel have filed no brief in its sup
port, nor did they appear on the day
set for argument thereon"
There was, for this reason, nothing
but the record to guide the court, and
no error could be found sufficient to
grant a reversal.
