DOWN the LINE

There is surely such thing as telepathy.
The day before yesterday was impelled to
write paragraph
Cal Is about the non appear
Called Back ance of Callaghan
Byrne, who was un-
derstood at its inception to be at the head
OF the horse show undertaking, and ex-
pressed some disappointment that he came
not. Last evening l bumped into Charhe
Sloane on Second street, and no less person
age was with him than Cal-Calla Lilly, as
some of his feminine admirers call him. lie

and will add greatly to the gayety OF the
city and the happiness of his friends.
The accuracy of some newspapers is be-
yond marvel. Here is the San Francisco
Examiner, W h ic h
A getty" gravely has in its per-
Persone1 sonal column the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Ex-Superior Judge Hevey Lindiey
of Santa Barbara county, now To-
Gated at Los Angeles, is at the
Palace" 1t is true, however, that
Hervey is a superior judge OF most OF the
good things of life--the only thing about
which he is densely ignorant being politics.
With the exception of the facts that none
OF the statements made in the paragraph are
true, there is no fault to be found with such
reporting. In Jay town like San Francisco
such things go without notice, but IL Los
Angeles reporter were to commit such
stupidity he would be sent where he belongs
--chopping wood or selling tape.

At funeral attended yesterday noticed
a beautiful innovation, which l am told was
introduced lately by

Homer Earle is aiding in the preparation
for the next high jinlls of the Sunset club,
which will come off
The Goats some time about
Will Gloat Christmas. Earle's
taking hold OF the
matter insures that there will be nothing
commonplace about the affair, and that there
will be no slow pace set for the members
to follow. 1t is understood that the old feud
between the goats and the lambs will break
ont anew on ibis occasion, and that none will

And the De Young people have hung their
harp on willow tree, all on account of the
Crockers and Mrs. Stanford. who were left
out of the figuring, but chose 10 take an un-
invited hand in the game. Gen. De Young
should remember that whole lot OF people
have got to die before much bitter ancient
history in the development OF the Chronicle

The Spreckels feud mas be ended, but bul-
let is often less costly than other consIdera-
tons. 1t is good to bet that De Young
will not be the next senator, nor ever will
attain that honor. The people who think
they have cause to hate him are to, powerful
and apparently too long-iived.

say he has not decided on any appointments;
