CLANCY TOOK THEM IN. A Joke That Was Turned on the
 Perpet ratorS

Some one evidently put up Job on T.. l.. Clancy of 137 Ninth street yesterday, and as result the gentleman is well nigh overworked by answering questions and attending to business at the same time. MT. Clancy Is the popular secretary of Division No. 2. A. O. H. Some of his friends who like a joke spread among the members of the order the news that he was organizing an Irish regiment to go to the front in the present crisis.
 The first that Clancy knew of the mat ter was when squad of eight stalwart Hibernians applied and demanded enroll ment He thought 1t a josh until a score of others had rolled in by 10 o'clock. and then in self-defense, he put out a roll. and by o'clock in the evening there were 295 names registered
 The subject of the joke belonged to Company F of the First Regiment, N. C.. C., when the railroad strikes were on a few years ago. He was court-martialed for killing an innocent pig while he (not the pig) was on guard duty. The judge advocate pronounced the accused guilty as charged, and there was no appeal.

SPECIAL EXCURSION TRAIN TO THE SANTA CRUZ NOUN
 TAINS.
STOPPING AT WELL KNOWN CAMPING RESORTS EN
 ROUTE.
The First of a Series of Popular Ex- cursions Under the Auspices of the Southern Pacific Com
 pany.
A DELIGHTFUL DAYS OUTING
 AT VERY LITTLE COST.

Several years ago the Southern Pa cit1c Company inaugurated a series of cheap excursion trips into the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains which were extensively patronized and probably did more to bring into public notice the beauties and attractions of that romantic region than any other agency ever employed.
 The result has been that numerous delightful camping resorts have been established, notably those at Wrights, Glenwood, Zuyante, Felton, Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek, where people of moderate means congregate by the hundreds and enjoy to their hearts content the delightful surroundings af- forded by this mountain region, at minimum cost for travel and expense of living, where the climatic conditions are unsurpassed and the finest of fish, ing, hunting and boating can be en- joyed.
 We are advised by the general pas senger department of the Southern Pa cific Company that the date fixed for the first campers excursion train of the present season is Saturday, the 30th inst, and that the rate for the round trip from San Francisco to Boulder Creek or any of the intermediate camping resorts has been placed at the very low figure of $1 25.
 A first-class train service will be pro- vided and eXcursionists will be com fortably seated in upholstered cars.
 This and subsequent excursions will be personally conducted and under the immediate charge of Colonel Will liam H. Menton, the popular excursion passenger agent of the company, who has been identified and favorably known in connection with this charac- ter of business for many years. Ex cursionists can therefore depend upon being well cared for.
 Take the 7:45 a. m. boat from the ferry landing (narrow gauge). foot of Market street, and at the same hour from Fourteenth and Webster streets, Oakland, Alameda passengers taking the train from Park-street station at 8:20 a. m.
 Returning, excursionists will arrive in San Francisco at S:05 p. m.
 For the accommodation of the large number of people who will avail them- selves of this occasion, tickets will be placed on sale the 27th, 18th and 29th inst at the Grand Hotel ticket office, this city, and on the morning of the excursion at the ferry landing ticket office, foot of Market street, San Fran cisco, Fourteenth and Webster streets, Oakland, and Park-street station, Ala meda.
