Prince McClurg, however, did not lack
friends. The Cincinnati contingent got
down on him to a man, as did many
others who had not forgotten his great
performances in the past. The Prince
was made third choice by the pencilers
at Az to l.
To a fair start Chancery took the
lead, followed by Streamer and Leo
Planter, the others strung out At the
quarter w. Overton assumed command.
Streamer and Be True close up, the
others punched. At the judges stand
w. Overton still led by a half-length
Sreamer, who led Be True head The
others were stretched out for a dis
tance of six lengths. At the three
quarters Sir Gatian and Prince Nc
Clurg made a play for the fighting
leader. Frost shook up the former
sharply and he responded with a great
burst of speed, passing w. Overton as
though he was anchored, and followed
by the Prince led the way into the
homestretch by three lengths. Streamer
being half-length behind the son Of
.Wadsworth.
At the last sixteenth pole Southard
brought Prince McClurg up with a
rush. and getting on even terms with
the flying Sir Gatian' battle royal to
the wire ensued, the Prince winning in
the last jump by short head. Chan
cery came very strong at the finish and
got within the money, three lengths
ahead of Billy House. Sir Gatian's race
stamps him as a great race horse, and
he had already won an event to-day
previous to the Derby.
Prince McClurg, who carried McAvoy
e Applegate's colors to victory had al
ready proven his worth by winning the

About year ago a doctor and his

time thin and yellow and considerably

The first morning the new boarders
came TO the table as guests the

and wished she could try it.
Il said nothing but at the end Of

I have been giving you Postum Food

What, is that coffee Postum she
said. l remarked that l had noticed
with great pleasure her daily gain in
health, and now that she was leaving
US after only three months at our table
she had rosy cheeks and q plump figure
which was all the argument any one
needed to prove the fact that she had
been we'll cared for, and the reason for
her gain in health was the use of Pos

HOME COMING
OF VOLUNTEERS
STILL DELAYED
Senator Perkins Wires
to the President.
TEXT OF THE DISPATCH SENT
OTIS FAILS TO EXPLAIN WHY
THEY HAVE NOT SAILED.
Should the President Signify That
Volunteers Are Needed at the
Front Agitation for Their
Return Would End.

Many weeks ago messages came
from Manila announcing that the First
California Regiment would be the first
volunteer command to return home
from the Philippines. 1t was stated on
official kilograms that this regiment,
being the first to arrive in the Orient,
would be given the first opportunity to
return. Relying on the assurance from
the military authorities, the relatives
and friends Of the volunteers began
preparations to give the soldiers a
great welcome home.
When the news came that the Ore
gon volunteers were homeWard bound
many supposed that the return voyage
of the California boys would not be
long delayed. Weeks have gone by,
and yet the homecoming of the First
California is deferred. Last night Sen
ator George c. Perkins wired the fol-
lowing message to President McKtn-
ley:
Previous promise from Otis not
having been fulfilled much anxiety
is now shown for the return Of the
First California Regiment. Some i'm
mediate action is urged. Can impera-
tive orders be again sent to Otisp
GEORGE C. PERKINS.
II cannot understand" said Senator
Perkins last night, why the First
California Regiment is not already on
its way. I have sent several dis
patches during the past few weeks on
this subject and secured a reply from
General Otis that the California boys
would leave as soon as he could start
them homeWard. l have no knowledge
of what may have caused the delay"
There Is no sentiment in this State
in favor of calling home the volunteers
If their services are required at the
front The men of the First California,
the first to go to the Philippines, would
be the last to request relief, if the
emergencies of the hour demanded
their presence on the firing line. Should
President Mckinley or General Otis
say that the California volunteers were
needed in the field no man, woman or
child in the State would urge the Pres
ident to send the regiment home. If
the President would merely state that
the California volunteers could not be
well spared from Manila the agitation
for their return would Immediately
cease. The people of this State believe
in standing by the country and up
holding the President, but they have
been encouraged to believe that the
First California Volunteers, having
rendered distinguished service at the
front, were listed for an early return
home. Accordingly great preparations
have been made for the home coming
hence the feeling of suspense and dis
appointment

Ia Against Expansion

Stanford University, Cal, Feb. 15.-Dr.
David Starr Jordan, president of STAN
ford university, in a lecture on the Philip
pine question:, reviewed the history of
France, her failure in colonization, the
unftness of the Filipinos to become
Americanized and the unfitness of our
form of government to colonize success
fully. He said in part:
"Our treatment of the Philippines
should be the same as that of Cuba. No
inhabited country should be acquired
by this government which cannot be
made self-governing and ultimately re-
ceived into the family of states. Let the
Filipinos fit their government to their
own needs, with a guarantee of our pro-
lection from outside interference, bu
under no circumstances should any dis
tant territory, inhabited by an alien,
semi-civilized people, be retained as a
permanent possession

Ice jam at Niagara

Niagara Falls, Feb. 15.-Above the falls
in many places the ice is packed in the
river in high piles and extends many feet
from the shore. Much dynamite has been
exploded to drive it from the channels
leading to the different power plants.
The jam in the gorge at the foot of the
falls grows with the days. Some of the
hills are nearly so feet high. One of
them is called a mountain, and is said to
be over 100 feet high. zach a large guam
tity of ice has not been known in the
Niagara river for years and the situation
is a decidedly serious one and makes
owners of property close to the banks OF
the river apprehensive of the result when
the river begins to free itself. Should
mild weather set in and the ice move il
would undoubtedly sweep everything be.

PURE AIR FOR SHIPPERS.

The result of fresh air in the sleeping
room will be felt in the various subtle
ways-in quieter nerves, greater anna
billty, brighter eyes and clearer mind
and complexion. And though the subject
is often discussed, it is worthy of atten
ton when we realize it's benefits, says a
writer in the Christian Work.
There are several points TO consider
when ventilating sleeping apartments.
First, t Is important that the air should
be pure, and the value of fresh air recog-
nized. Then the physical condition of the
sleeper should be thought of. The same
amount of outside air and the same tenn
perature can not be endured alike by
every one. 1t sometimes happens that the
admission Of fresh air during the night
renders the sleeping uncomfortably cold.
When this is the case, the object of the
pen window or fresh air current is de-
feated.
A window raised a very little at top and
bottom is better than a wide space. A
transum opening upon a ventilated room
is excellent for delicate people who can
not bear a direct current in the room.
Study comfort. 1t is a we'll known
