Here Is a story told without saying
whether 1t Is fact or fiction: Hawkins
was an eccentric old man, and in his
will 1t was found that he had made his
youngest son, Henry, his sole heir. on
condition that he should marry within
two years. 1t was a surprise to the
community, as Henry was a worthless
fellow and rarely or friendly terms
with his father. Henry at once be-
came the topic OF conversation. Ev-
erybody was wondering what mystery
would develop from such an odd be-
ginning, and there were dozens of
stories afioat to the effect that Haw-
kins was a miser and had left bundles
OF money hidden In odd corners Of his
rickety old shanty that had become
the sole property of his son. Henry's
name soon drifted into the papers all
over the country. AS a result, bush

ell and w~ild-visioned girls anne u him
in the form OF proposals. On the last
day OF the allotted two years Henry

HITCH OVER SAMOA.

Possible.


NEW YoRK, Aug. ga dispatch 70
the Herald from Washington says:
''Trouble is brewing ovcr the Samoan
islands, which under the treaty Of 1900
are governed under n joint protector
ate by the United States, Germany and
Great Britain. Germany had marked
the islands for her own before the
treaty was negotiated, but her scheme
for absorbing them was blocked chiefly
by the United States. which, by tho
treaty Of 1878, had acquired the right
to establish n naval station at Pago-
Pago harbor, and had virtually estab-
lishcd n professionals over the islands.
Under the tripar.ite arrangement,
Germany has been n disturbing factor
and has ~cndeavored TO procure advant-
ages superior to those Of the United
States and Great Britain. Mr.. Cleve-
land favored withdrawing from the
joint protcctoratc, but President Nc
Kinley Is determined to retain all
rights In Samoa guaranteed to this
country 10y the treaty. He Is now
taking steps to improve and fortify
Pago-Pago harbor, and dispatches
from Europe show that Germany does
not like this action"

been able for the first time to walk
from his room downstairs unaided.

as she smilingly placed an easy chair
for him in the window which COM
manded a magnificent view Of Abbot's
Head, the distant crag of Yesnabil, and
the wide stretch of Summer-blue sea.
IL must not trespass on your kindness

Days heart sank suddenly--sank
very low and very rapidly.

For some reason your brother, who

How can you imagine such a
thing?' cried Day, her face growing
first rose-red, then very pale. 1T IS

"Is It nothing to thank you for

made Days heart beat with such
strange emotion as she had never

At this moment Magnus. who had

JOINED THE
 THEATRICAL
 SYNDICATE Friedlander, Gottlob & Go. Now Members. WILL GET BETTER SHOWS THE REASON GIVEN FOR THE
 RETALIATION. The Big Combination of Theaters Now Stretches From New York Across the Continent to
 San Francisco.
WILL GET BETTER SHOWS
THE REASON GIVEN FOR THE
 AFFILIATION.

The great theatrical syndicate which stretches its tentacles from the far East to. the far West has at last reached this city. A few days ago Friedlander, Gott- lob & Co.,, the theatrical purveyors of this city, with leases on the Columbia, Baldwin and California theaters, joined the great combination of the East.
 It seems as if the syndicate were to en- brace every theater in the country. At present there are only two theatrical com panies in the country that have refused to come within the charmed circle. The latest addition of note Is the local cor poration which controls the three princi- pal theaters of San Francisco.
 In regard to this new action on the part of Friedlander, Gottlob & Co.,. Jake Gott- lob said yesterday: "The public of San Francisco will be benefited greatly by our af1liation with the great theatrical syn dicate. We thereby are enabled to fur nish the best shows in the country, some thing which we heretofore could not &C., complish without the greatest labor and doubt The syndicate, so far as We are concerned, is not in the nature of a mo- nopoly.

Stanford 23, Olympic o.


 THE second gridiron battle of the sea-
 son proved very poor football, with l score that must make the Olympics
 vince and the Stanford men not too jubilant, although they heaped up a hill of g points. The Clympics were woe fully debilitated and Stanford was not abnormally strong. It was not on account of the very fine playing of the college men, but the very poor work of the club men.
 Were it not for the rows of slouch hat ted soldiers who filled the bleachers on the south side of the field there would have been a very small crowd to watch the game yesterday. To them it was a holiday, and the opportunities to shout were not lost Murphy took the fancy of the bluecoats, and his splendid runs from one end of the field to the other provoked the widest of war whoops from the bleachers. Burmeister, the cardinal full back, encircled by a halo of bright red hair that is perfect match in shade to Manager Pritchard's carmine locks, was the new man of the day, and he showed up in thoroughly good style. His line bucking was of the right sort, and his dash and quickness of getting into the play will make him a strong back before the season is over. Parker and Smith of Stanford played a steady and gingery game on the ends. Nothing much can be said of the Olympics' playing, if nil ns bonum is followed as a motto of elocu- tion; They seemed not +o realize that a football game was in progress: Stanford went through their line at will for gains of all den9mipations and eircIed the ends territory that would make even Coy ernment surveyor shake with palsy in their measurement
 The game began its eccentric career when Murphy lacked off deer, into the Olympic field. De Ballister, with the ball dangerously near his own posts, fumbled the pigskin and Smith of Stanford assim- Hated 1t. Stanford then had but ten yards to cover for a touchdown, which they failed to do, however, for when Burmeis- ter was pushed across the line Code of the Olympics appropriated the ball and all the cardinal got for it's pains was a touchback-a point of honor without any score. Then the ball was taken out to the 25-yard line and Weldon kicked to Murphy who returned the compliment The Olympics relied on another kick after futile attempts to buck the college line Murphy tucked the sphere away under his arms and made, one of his, startling good range for field goal, which Murphy tried and missed.

Competition on a Vast Scale As sured by the Valley Road and Steamship Con-
 neCtiOnS.

Leading men of California who are in position to acquire inside intelligence re- gardtng certain enterprises for the exten- sion of the commerce of the Pacific Coast assert that arrangements have been per- fected between the North German Lloyus Steamship Company and the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe system of railways for 6 through line by rail and steamer from New York via San Francisco to Japan and China This steamship company, one of the largest in the world, has long con- templated the establishment of new lines on the Pacific. but owing to the lack of desirable railway connections at San Francisco, was not in shape to compete with the O. and O. and Pacific Mail lines, which are controlled by the Southern Pa ciic.
 The extension of the Valley road from Bakersfield to Los Angeles will give a through line independent of the Southern Pacific system from New York to San Francisco. If the information imparted to The Call be correct, the enterprise of the North German LIoyds Steamship Company and the Santa Fe system will give the finishing stroke to the monopoly of the Southern Pacific.

VAMPIRES PRACTICE.

The Vampire Association football play CTS met yesterday afternoon on the Gold en Gate ground for the first practice game of the season. Only ten men put in an appearance, among them being G- T. s. White, captain; J. J. R. Peel, C. r. Coles, H. Punnett, H. W. Dye, J. D. Rob ertson, J. McGaw and w. G. Selwood- After some kicking and running, sides were formed and there were two ten minutes halves of play. Most of the players, while in fair physical condition, found the exertiOn somewhat trying, but a few weeks practice will make the work comparatively easy. Next Satur- day the Vampires play the first match of the season at the Presidio against team of regulars and volunteers:
 The Vampires will play regularly on the ground at Golden Gate, upon which goal posts have been set up, the limits being marked by flags. During the sea- son matches will be played with teams from Oakland, the Presidio, Keswick and Placer County. It is proposed to play at Keswick on Thanksgiving day, and to have a return match against the Keswick team on Washington's birthday. Two, or three times during the season matches will be arranged between the Vampires and teams of apprentices from British ships in the harbOr.

Oelrichs has been devot- ing his time in San Francisco for several months in aid of the new enterprise The decision to extend the Valley road re- moved the last obstacle to the cOnsum- nation of the great plan of competition Many persons supposed that MT. Oelrtchs was giving his time chiefly to the incl dental affairs of life but now it transpires that his prolonged sojourn on the Pacific Coast had a motive which was not ex- plained to the public. He will return from Bremen within five weeks.
 The building of the Valley road from Stockton to Bakersfield emancipated the merchants and farmers of the great San Joaquin region from the tyranny of the Southern Pacific. It is not an idle asser- ton to say that the construction of this competing line did more to relieve the industrial depression in California than all the political speeches ever uttered by the anti-railroad agitatoTs. A through line from New York to San Francisco connect ing at the initial and terminal points with an independent line of steamships will afford the benefits of competition on land and sea and give to San Francisco every advantage of commerce that is now possessed by New York
