Men of 40, some of them grandfathers
now, have u very faint recollection of
the civil war. In an address ut Lin
colin banquet Col T. w. Higginson said
that when he now speaks of the war
period he feels that he has two audi
ences in one, the black-haired audience
regarding the subject as ancient his
tory and from different point of view.
On one occasion, and not very lately,
q small boy said he would like to talk
with the colonel about war, and his first
question wns: Were you in the battle
of Bunker Hill?" The colonel asks how
anyone can possibly describe to later
generation the scenes and feelings of
-four years of great battles in all their
realinm. He knows from experience
that 1t can be done but imperfectly.

have been compelled to remain plain,
nnadorned citizens, without handles to

3f bill which the Italian government
proposes to submit to parliament be-
comes q law. According to the pro-
visions of this bill anyone desiring to
become a prince may secure that title
by planking down $4,000. Five thou
sand dollars will purchase the title of
marquis, $4,000 the title of count, while
titles of baron will be sold in job lots
at $1,000 each. Here is an opportunity
for that class of Americans who pine
for the mark of nobility. Perhaps,
however, if they wait little longer
other European governments in strait
ened circumstances will enter into COM
petition with Italy and titles will be
sold on bargain counters ut big depart
ment stores.

A city youth who was desperately in
love with fair young lady sent her as
"a token of his esteem n bracelet. After
abe had received it and hung it on her
dainty arm and he had locked it with
his lily-white hands there came cruel
rival. who promptly relieved the arm
of it's ornament, and then came the
trouble. The youth heard of the action
OF his rival and ut once wrote the young
woman to return the token of friend

destroyed it, but If he would send her n
statement of the cost of the bracelet
abe would pay him for the same. The
young man sent the bill, us follows:
ITO bracelet, $3.50. Please remit by

he received d money order for $1.5O. It's

THEY OBJECT TO
 4 LAY CATECHlSM An Effort to Amend a Form of the University of
 California. Interesting Developments Expected at Meeting of the Regents.
 This Evening.

As Is generally understood by those who are at all posted as to the working methods of the University of California, that excellent institution embraces among the numerous blanks used by 1t a teachers registry form,' providing for the report of data regarding the Qualifi- cations of its graduates for teachers po- sitions All teachers from the university are requested to fill out and return this form to the appointment secretary whether they desire new positions or not"
 As a matter of course. a great majority of the questions to be answered bear up on the applicants ability as a teacher and his or her mental and physical f1t- few interrogatorieS to which certain members of the Board of Regents take exception on the ground that they more properly belong to the church than the schoolroom.
 Are you a church member?
 "Of what denominatfon?"
 If not, what church do you attend?"
 These are the questions in the teachers registry form which have fomented something of discord among the regents, and they are to form the subject of an interesting discussion at to-night's meet ing. It is understood that certain mem bers of the board are determined to eff feet the elimination from the above mem toned form of these features in the cate chsm to be answered by teachers who would enlist the offices of their alma ma ter in getting them a job.

George Miller Ran Away With the FOllanSbee
 Handicap.
Traverser Gould Not Untracl Himself in the Slippery
 Going.
Four Successful FavOrites - Harry ThOburn, Warm Choice,
 Turned Down.

The card for the opening day of the meeting had a lop-sided look, and only a moderate sized crowd viewed the racing at Emeryville track yesterday The condition of several of the racers seemed to have the handicraft of Trainer Jimmy Mccormick stamped thereon. and horses of the Burns & Warehouse string did an nex three purses. Six events were de cided. They were all headstrong choices in the betting. With Judge Denny taking the handicap, favorites had a pleasurable day Of it.
 The downpour of rain left the track in a slippery condition and no doubt altered the complexion of things in one or two instances. The downfall of the Burns & Warehouse entries, Tray erser and Colonel Dan, in the Follans- bee handicap at seven furlongs, was the most surprising effect of the after noon's sport. The duo were top-heavy favorites and both failed to get inside the money. George Miller, the oldtime idol, to l chance, ridden by Spencer, sallied out in front and fairly romped home the winner, three lengths before the Schreiber entry, Imperious, with Johnny Woods up. Buck Massie land ed Conley and his 12I pounds in the show.
 The opening scramble for two-year- olds was gathered in by Gold Scratch, the half brother to Braw Scot. Ruling a slight favorite in the betting over quickly shot to the front, and in the hardest kind of a drive won by a neck from Clarando E. Come, a good thing" played from 10 down to Az to l, was a close third.
 The six-furlong sprint that followed looked such a sure thing for the Burns & Waterhouse entry, Sybaris, that he ruled a 3-to10 chance in the ring. He made all the running, and, with noth- ing to spare at the end led the second choice, Catawba, out a scant length. Midian, showing improvement, was third.
 The free handicap over one and a quarter simmered down to a field of four starters. The black horse Judge Denny was an odds-on favorite in the ring, and Thorpe had only to hold his head up to win galloping from Collins. Marplot. inclined to run out with Mas ter Woods, was an indifferent third
 Looking one of the pet things of the programme, Harry Thoburn, the 7-to- 10 favorite for the mile and a sixteenth run, was raced to a standstill and beaten oy Mercutio, 9-to-1 chance piloted by Conley. The pair raced head and head to the stretch, where Tho burn began to falter. Mercutio then took the lead, and, stalling off the late challenge of Osric II, downed that horse less than a length in hard drive.
 After the betting on the final five -a-half-furlong spin, with a field of nine lining up, had progressed some minutes, the announcement was made that NapamaX, the favorite, would run with bar plates, and her price gradually heightened from to 10 to ? to l. She headed her field from the jump. winning eased up from the heavily plunged on Highland Ball. Hermoso made a good showing with his 11S pounds up. finishing good third.

fense of the country. The temper Of
President Mckinley is clearly shown
by his prompt action with Spain in
their demands concerning Consul Lee
and our war vessels. No Cabinet
meeting was called before refusing
Spain demands, which indicates that
he is determined to be no longer tri-
fled with, and his actions are being
supported by Democrats and Republi-
cans alike. The administration has
been assured that any amount OF
funds deemed necessary would be pro-
vided by Congress to put the govern
raent ia state of defense, and that
the administration would be backed
up in anything that was thought
necessary. Monster guns, carloads OF
ammunition and thousands of tons OF
coal are being rushed to Pensacola,
Key West, Savannah and Charleston,
and the departments present scene
as active as if war had already been
declared. If this country is not al
ready prepared for war she soon will
be, and, as has been we'll said by one
of our contemporaries, should Spain
invade the United States she will
make discoveries Columbus never
dreamed Of.
