1T WAS A RACE FOR LIFE.
Remarkable Sight Witnessed by the
Oakland Ferry Passengers.

The passengers on one of the Oakland
ferry boats were treated to an unusual
sight yesterday afternoon. p. H. Schlotz-
hauer of Dimond, Alameda County, took
on board five carrier pigeons, Which he is
training for a long flight from Oregon.
One of the lot, a beautiful carrier named
Duke of Dimond, who has already flown
home from Tehachapi, was among them
in order to act as a guide for the younger
carriers AS soon as the pigeons were lib
Grated they mounted in circles in the air,
heading generally toward the east. 1t
was a pretty sight and the passengers
watched with interest the movements of
the intelligent birds until they were a
mile away.
Suddenly what were supposed to be two
Of the pigeons were seen to be in rapid
fight toward the ferry boat. On they
came, as swift as the fight of an ar
row, and those who had good eyesight
saw that it was not two carriers, but one
pigeon pursued by a savage hawk. The
race for life was indeed exciting, and of
course the sympathy was with the carrier.
At times the hawk seemed to gain and
again to lose. Strange to say the flight
was in a direct line for the boat, the pur-
sued seeming to know that there he had
friends. When hundred feet high and
his wings and dropped like a stone to the
deck with the hawk but a few feet away.
Like q flash the carriers wings were
spread, few feet above the upper deck,
and he sailed into group of ladies, safe
from all harm. His pursuer retreated.
The Duke was the hero Of the remainder
Of the trip.

LED TO DISHONOR.

THERE could have been more fearful ar
raignment OF the racetrack than appeared in this
paper yesterday morning, and this was simply
record OF TACT given without prejudice partial list
OF those who have fallen through the temptation to
gamble offered by the races.
Some OF these people are in San Quentin. Others
have merely sunken into disgrace, but all have found
common ruin. There are men and women and
bows on the list. There are people who have been
guilty OF ENLIGHTENMENT, forgery, plain THEFT, murder
There are those who by fight have escaped the con-
sequences of their misdeeds. There are Others who
sought the peace and oblivion of the grave.
1t does not seem to us there is need OF extended
comment The truth is on record and speaks for it
self Here are the races in almost constant opera

and month after month, and all the time the dupes
march in steady procession the track or the pool

BRYAN AND HIS Party LEADERS.

~OLONEL BRYAN and his party, although
both are out of practical politics at present,
- continue to be objects of interest to a consid-
cradle number OF people 1t is therefore worth
noting that there is apparently good deal OF con-
fusion in the relations of the one 10 the other
Judging from the reports that come to us from the
East it is not clear whether the Democratic leaders
who are loud in proclaiming their Organism intend
TO follow the Colonel or let him go alone.
Only a short time ago Senator James K. Jones,
chairman OF the Democratic National Committee,
sounded the keynote of the campaign of 1900 putting
Bryan to the front and calling upon choice galaxy
of sveres to advance the interests of the Democratic
party along the lines of the Chicago platform There
was enough Organism in the note to satisfy the most
extreme partisan, and everything gave outward evil
dence of the most cordial relations between the party
and its gifted colonel.
further expression of the loyalty to the
platform and the man made by Mr.. Bailey of
Texas, Democratic leader in the House OF Repre-
sentatives, in a speech on Washington's birthday.
In ringing tones he declared "As certain as the
years go by and the great national convention re-
assemblies, we will set up the platform made in 1896,
and in Bryans unsulled name will unurl the banner
as stainless as his life and then the great commanders
will give the orders, Forward march,, and 1t will be
d march to victory
Such is the style OF language used by the Democrats
in Office when talking in public about their colonel
who is out of office. In private, however these same
leaders are not so warm toward Bryan to show
any large amount of steam when they meet him. A
report from Washington informs that his re-
cent visit to the Capitol the Colonel very coldly
received. The report says:
There was as much difference between Mr. Bryans
reception to-day and that of few months ago, when
he occupied the same seat in the Marble Room and
told Democratic Senators how to vote the peace
treaty as there is between daylight and darkness.
Then men hocked about him like bees in clover
field But to-day he was unnotced. There not
that rush to shake his hand which manifest
months ago. Senators did not hurry out of the
chamber to see him and hear his advice, they did
then. Nor did they swarm about him though he
were party Moses as they once did Not more than
FIVE Senators saw Mr. Bryan day and he in
the Marble Room for more than hour. Most Of
this time he was seated alone, way back in dark
corner while crowds of people passed by and failed
to notice him"
When the practiced politicians at Washington ig
more former leader and do take the trouble
to shake hands with him may be the day Of
the eclipse OF his leadership is That is why
say the relations between Bryan and his party
fused The talk in favor of the old ticket is as strong
as ever but since the party bosses longer him
when he calls, the outlook for the Colonel is
onnous.
