for the great wcrld Of women's
clubs, Browning societies, golf
clubs, woman's rights organizations
and the "high-toned literary and
social life" which thrives on "the

but her father, who works in the

will insist on sitting at the table in

called upon frequently to run across

The performances of the state
board Of education, or a majority
thereof, in connection with the
Eaton contract for copy books are
most discreiitable. The fact is that
the award Of this contract was not
in accordance with the law, nearly
every provision Of which was con-
temptuously ignored IN the matter.
The books furnished under this al
legged contract are not suitable for
use. The board, after studying for
some time chow not to do il, was
forced TO condemn the books. Its
obvious duty then was to declare
the contract fo.feited and take steps
to secure first-class copy books for
the schools. Instead Of that the
are TO be allowed 10
patch up the books. which the board
mad no right to contract for in the
first place. az complete copies were
not submitted as required by law.
The last school book letting seems
to have been a political scheme as
the Sentinel intimated at the time.
This Is to 5e regretted chiefly be-
cause It tends to bring discredit
upon a law which, honestly admin
istered as it always has been here
tofore, i great benefit to the peo-
pie. The board of education is
strictly republican body, but while
some Of the members are conscien-
tious end capable men, the major
ity seems to be composed of poIit-
ical trickste-s. Governor Mount
ard Superintendent Jones are said
to have dictated the action of the
board in the recent awards in the,
interest of ring Of republican pol
iticians who had undertaken to ioistI
certain books upon the people. Ii
is a shame that the educational
interests OF the state should be
trified with in this nner.-Indi-

AT Football Yesterday by Very
Small Score.
SAN. FRANCISCO, December 25.-
To-day the East and the West lined up
on the gridiron, the opposing teams
being Carlisle, of Pennsylvania, and the
University of California. Six thousand
people witnessed the game. The Ber-
kelley rooters were out in force. but the
Indians were not lacking sympathizers.
Every one expected an easy walk
over for the Indians, but in this their
anticipations were not realized. Berke-
ley put up magnificent game and held
the Indians down in fine style, the score
at the end of the game being two to
nothing in favor of the Indians. A
tumble by Berkeley when the ball was
on her ten yard line, lost her the game.
Harrisburg tried fake kick, but drop
ped the ball He picked it up, but the
Indians were through the line and
pushed him over for safety. Had ne
been successful in this trick, the score
would undoubtedly have been a tie.
Carlisle won the toss and kicked of
fog thirty yards. Berkeley ran the bali
in five yards, then returned the kick.
The Indians then began to buck and
were fairly successful, although Berke-
ley held and the Indians found it hard
work. When the ball was on Berke-
ley's ten yard line, Carlisle fumbled
and Berkeley took the ball. Then
Harrisburg tried his fake kick, which
lost the game for the blue and gold. At
the end of the first half Berkeley seem
ed to be somewhat winded, but the IN
dians were as fresh as ever and it was
predicted that they would roll up
large score. But the breathing spell be-
tween halves put Berkeley right and
she played the second half with a dash
that was surprising. In this half
neither side had any material adVant-
age, although the ball was in Berkeley's
territory most of the time. At one
time it looked as If the Indians might
kick field goal. They were craving
near the goal line. but just before they
got within kicking distance Hudson
was hurt and had to retire from the
game. He had tried several field goals
during the game, but was unsuccessful,
yet there was great feeling Of rsliss
