AGRICULTURAL SCIENTISTS.

have come from their distant homes attend the
convention which assemblies in this city to-day, San
Francisco is fortunate in having the privilege OF ex-
tending that welcome A very large proportion OF
our citizens farms orchards and are interested
in the work in which the visitors engaged, and Will
receive them, therefore, felowworkers as well as
distinguished guests.
No State in the Union, and possibly no similar area
OF country in the world be more interesting to
agricultural experts and expermeners than Callfor
MIA The whole rural industry OF the State IS to a
considerable extent experiment on a grand SCALE
with thousands OF intelligent, progressive men work
ing along varying lines for the accomplishment OF
new results in Vineyards orchards and fields. In al
most every county in the State the observant stu
dent OF scientific agriculture can find something OF
more than ordinary interest and value, because IN
every county there are many who have long been
experimenting with more less scientific exactness
in developing rural industries.
AS the convention is composed of men who ex-
perts in agricultural matters and competent TO
Judge and estimate the value of what they see, will
be gratifying to show them as much Of California as
thew will have time to visit When them we have
made known the great and varied resources Of the
State we shall have authorities speak for us in all
parts of the Union Their visit to California Will,
therefore prove to be one Of mutual benefit well as
OF mutual pleasure and the welcome they receive IN
this city will be repeated and renewed at every place
where they NAV go to examine the resources OF our

tain fall and her entrance as Maritana in
"Don Caesar de Bazan" shows most per-
fectly the versatility of this clever little
woman. Don Caesar will never grow old
or cease to charm with its swashbucke
rollicking comedy. Mr.. Morrison's grasp of
the character is a firm one. He speaks the
lines so as to bring laughs in just the right
places and holds the interest and sym
pathy of the audience to the curtain. Mr..
Whittlesey was every inch the King and
Wooed his Mariana with an earnestness
that left no doubt as to his deep infatua-
ton for the beautiful, foolish dancing
girl. The play at the second perform
ance went with that grateful swing and
dash that were lacking on the first night.
The minor parts are fairly well sustained
and the play. especially in the first act,

WILLIAM HARRY THE VICTIM
STRUCK ON THE HEAD WITH A

William Harry, a boy II years of age,
whose parents keep a bakery and con-
fectionery at 1923 Hyde street, was held
up and robbed of all the money he had
on Leavenworth street, between CalifOr-
MIA and Pine streets, about 9 clock Mon
day night. He was also struck on the
head with some instrument which caused
an ugly wound on his scalp.
The boy, for fear of unnecessarily
alarming his parents, went to bed after
he got home without telling them of his
experience, but yesterday morning, when
his mother observed the ClOtted blood on
his head, she asked for an explanation
and took him to the Receiving Hospital
where the wound was stitched and
lower it might have killed the boy.

STUDENT FEES AT STANFORD.

~ CORRESPONDENT, whose letter pub
I \ lish in another column commends the course
OF The Call in opposing the imposition OF
registration fee upon the students OF the State Uni
versitv and expresses hope that equally strong
effort will be made to bring about repeal OF the tax
imposed upon students at Stanford
The letter IS interesting from the revelation 1t makes
OF the attention given by the public to matters OF
higher education at our two great universities and
the general desire that at both OF them education
should be free For that is published as an
expression OF the voice of the people It will be i'm
possible however. for The Call to oppose the Stan
ford fee system it did the purpose to impose one
at Berkeley The conditions OF the two institutions
are so different that what would have been wrong
in the one case is perfectly usti6able in the other
The State University is part of Our system OF
public education. 1t founded by the people Tor
the instruction OF the youth OF the State and IS main
tanned by taxation imposed upon the property OF all
The manner OF its government and administration is
therefore, matter of public concern and is subject to
public criticism Just that of any other State insu
ton The imposition of the suggested registration
fee upon students at a university established would
have been wrong. inasmuch it would have shut out
from the advantages of the institution the children of
some OF the people who are taxed to maintain it 1t
would have defeated the very aim for which the uni
versitv was founded-that OF making education free
Stanford University occupies a very different posi-
ton from that Of the State University. 1t was not
founded by the people nor is it maintained by them
It is private institution founded and endowed to
perpetuate the memory OF the family OF the founder
The trustees may therefore, conduct in any manner
they choose so long they do not violate the terms
under which the trust created or those of the
charter granted by the State. The trustees have
much right to impose tuition fee upon students of
the university as they have to limit the number Of
women who will be admitted to it
1t is we'll known to be the desire Of Mrs. Stanford
to provide education the university freely pos
sible and there be no good reason for doubling
that the trustees will cooperate with her to that end,
In time education may be untaxed there at Berke-
ley The issue however, is one for Mrs. Stanford
and the trustees to deal with AS the public is not
taxed to sustain the university it has no right to die
tate how it shall be conducted.

AN AUTOMOBILE ROUTE.

To the Editor Of San Francisco Call
Dear Sir: Being a constant reader Of The
Call l have noticed dn particularly COM
ments made on the immense undertaking
which seems TO be ascribed to crossing
the plains by the automobile from the
Missouri River TO California. Seeing a
delay has occurred in starting, owing to
the possible danger of steep and heavy
grades to be met with on the route, per-
nit me to state that such insurmountable
obstacles a S would be conjured up in the
mind from the reading of Sundays Call
are only imaginary and on the road do
not exist. OF course l speak from per
sonal experience and observation. having
crossed on foot all of the following routes
to mining camps and places, viz, across
the State of Iowa to Missouri River;
thence to Auburn, Powder River, foot of
Blue Mountains; thence to Boise Basin
and what is now called Idaho City; thence
to Salt Lake City; thence to Virginia
City, on Alder Gulch in Montana; thence
to Honey Lake Valley, Cal; thence back
to Lancaster on the Humboldt; thence to

arising from the fact that he is the son
of his father John is rich. Not merely
well-to-do, comfortably off, or in easy cir
cumstances, but really wealthy.
John has acquired this Croesus-like
competence by a variety of means. Some
of it has come to him by Inheritance,
some has been gathered by hard work,
and much has been picked up by carefully
specializing in paris mutuels and other
stocks which are of uncertain stability
and have a habit of generally Topping the
way least expected.
John is what is generally known as a
wise guy" He overlooks nothing, from
a champion ring contest to matching for
car fare. He even marks the sparrow
fall. and when the bird is about to topple

standing under the limb willing TO

formed that he seldom comes out at the

however, he gets up against 1t, as he dld
in the following instance.
Mrs. ]. 2. Jackson Jr. was sitting on the
porch of her house in BeIvedere the other
day when she was approached by rather
seedy looking individual who requested her
to invest in a lottery ticket. Mrs. Jack
son complied A few days later the list
was published and Mrs. Jackson found
she was a winner to the extent of 80. She
said nothing to any one, but, putting on
her things, came over to the city TO cash
in What was her disappointment to find
the ticket was bogus. That evening when
her lord and master had finished his din
ner she proposed a little game of freeze
out.
'I have here ticket that has a SO win
ming number on it, dear she said. Il
will put 1t up against $40 and the one who
wins will take all.
John seeing something easy agreed to
take a chance. The stakes had hardly
been posted when his wife, declaring she
had a headache, stopped the game. Il
really can't play any more, dear she
said. You give me the money and take
the ticket over with you tomorrow morn
ing and have it cashed." John did as she
requested.
The next day it cost John 81 25 for
liquids, IS 10 for a lunch and two wordy
alterations that almost resulted in mix
ups, and, to cap the climax, upon his re-
turn home his wife sweetly informed him
that she had spent the ten he gave her
and could not possibly refund it.

SAN JOSE Cal Il1lv

SAN JOSE. Cal, July 3, 1899.
Editor Call-Dear Sir: I hope you will,
by ringing editorials and otherwise, bring
about in Stanford University that which
has just been achieved by the Regents of
the State University, in removing the
odious 500 tax. Stanford University coll
leCts each year from each and all of her
students $40, and this, as every one knows,
is in many instances a great hardship.
There is no longer any reason why this
should be done. Stanford claims to be
and doubtless is the richest university in
America, if not in the world. The sala-
ries of her president and faculty are, TO
say the least, very liberal, and are from
this time to be paid in full. Her income
is enormous. In the near future she will
be, as she ought to be, exempt from tax
alton, since California has the unenviable
reputation of being the only State in the
Union that taxes her churches and edu-
cationaI institutions. For these and many
similar reasons this university should fol-
low the example just set at Berkeley and
remove this financial burden from the
shoulders of her students and patrons,
manly of whom are poor and are enduring
many hardships for the education which
Stanford affords.

EXPEL THE "GRAFTER."

HEN the Republican Central Committee
\X| holds its meeting Friday it should proceed
promptly and summary the expulsion from
its membership of J. NJ. Chretien There is no need
for delaying for the purpose of investigation. His
record on the Fourth Of July Committee has been
made public and his dismissal from that body has re-
ceived popular approval There will be approval also
for his instant dismissal from the Republican com
mttee
The issue is one that cannot be avoided 1t is now
4 matter Of general knowledge that Chretien while
serving the Fourth OF July Committee, sought to
that patriotic festival into of enriching
himself The evidence of his attempt to graft was
sufficiently convincing to lead to his expulsion from
the committee, and with that fact strongly impressed
upon the minds OF the people it will never do to in
trust him with any authority whatever in the manage
ment OF the Republican campaign.
The American people tolerant Of many things,
but they will not tolerate man who turns popular
patriotism into matter OF personal profit and plays
a confidence game upon the ardent loyalty of the
public. Such they will always regard with sus-
pcion, and any political party which intrusts him with
authority in its management is certain to lose
considerable extent the confidence of the masses.
The Republican committee owes it to the party to

who intrusted with the duty OF preparing tor the
campaign, handling the party funds and providing
means by which every Republican shall have an equal
vote at the primaries, must be men who are above
suspicion of grating making any undue use OF
their authority. 1t is not enough that majority are
free from suspicion. All must be so. Chret1en
