ON STANFORD FIELD.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 28.-
The football season is rapidly advancing
at Stanford. Each evening the bleachers
are crowded with spectators, while the
field is covered with between eighty and
ninety candidates, all of whom are anX-
ious to make place on one of the two
teams that are to uphold the honor of the
cardinal this fall.
With such an abundance of material and
enthusiasm Stanford is also fortunate in
has had for years, If not the strongest in
all her history. Coach Chamberlin is as
sisted each evening by Jack" Reynolds,
the star half in 95, and Charles Levers,
another of Stanford's old players. Each
of them dons the molesl1in and puts the
men through much individual training for
their positions.
With the return of Burnett and Gilman
Chamberlin hopes to build up a center
trio that will compare fayorably with
that of two years ago. De Forest is eX-
pected to complete the trio by playing his
old position at left guard. He is consid-
cred one of the most promising men VINO
entered college this year, on account OF
his long experience with the Multnomah
team in Portland.
The freshman team promises to prove
the surprise of the season. Coach Cham
berlin does not try to conceal the ia, fact
that he is proud of his infants" They
have few stars, and realize that it takes
the whole team to win victory. What
they do have, though, is plenty of grit
and ginger. Already they have shown in
their few lineups that they know the
game and are not afraid TO get into dt.
They play their first game on the campus
on Saturday with st. Matthew'S team,
and will probably line up as follows: Lee,
! center; Traeger, right guard; Graves, left
! guard; Pollard, right tackle; McFadden,
! left tackle; B: E. Nourse, right end;
Lutgerdng or Welth. left end; Raitt or

A SHOOTING YARN.
Why the Doctor Didn't Perforate
the Can

A local sporting goods firm takes
great pride in the effectiveness of it's
"hand-loaded smokeless' shotgun

ment have built up a large trade among
the soortsmen
Among its customers is well-known

Last Sunday he went duck-hunting He
returned without ducks, and on Mon
day morning went around to the gum
shop to relate his experience and hear
the tales of other gunners. When he en-
tered one of the partners accosted him
cheerily as follows:
Hello, Doc, any ducks?"
No, didn't see any, and if I had I
don't think I could have bagged them
why, Doc, can't you hit them?''
oh, that part of it is all right, but
your old shells are no good I couldn' t
put a shot-hole in tin can twenty feet
away. They don't have any push in
them. If I were you would get some
good powder sell good shells, and try
and keep my trade
During these remarks the proprietor 5
face assumed a beet-co,ored aspect, and
with warmth he defended the good
qualities of his shells

but twenty yards away, and I'll bet the
beer for the whole crowd on it."
The doctor remarked that he was not
the only complainant, but had heard of
several others. The dealer answered
that he had standing orders for the
same kind of ammunition from the
leading shots of the city, and that they
made no complaints.
But to prove it to you, Doc, I'm go
ing to do as I said, and show you, with
your own gun and the same kind of
shell, that what Hsay is true
Suiting the action to the word, he un-
cased the doctors gun, put it together,
and taking a 'disgraced' shell and an
empty box, he repaired to the esting
range. Soon he returned with a beam-
ing countenanee, and addressing the
medico joyfully, exclaimed:
Look here, Doc. how's that for my
ammunition! the shot go all the way
through and stick, in the other side.
Now, why can't you shoot through a
tin can at twenty feet?"

THE JAPANESE MISSION.
Trial of Boys Charged With An
noying It Continued.

C. Coughlan and Clarence Radonich
were charged in the City Justices
Court yesterday with malicious mis-
chief, in disturbing the peace of Mrs.
Boyne of the japanese Mission and dis
turbing the boys who room there.
Mrs. Boyne testified that she heard
the boys plotting mischief, as they had
before, she listened to them and warn
ed the japanese boys to stay in the
house She presently heard the house
broken into and rang for the police
and when they arrived, the boys ran
away, but some of them were caught.
They had before defiled the building
and destroyed property she identified.
Some Japanese witnesses We're put on
the stand, but their testimony was so
unintelligible that the hearing of it was
postponed until to-day.
A Mrs. Shock testified that the ac-
cused boys were sent on an errand to
Third and M streets shortly before the
patrol wagon went to the Mission and
she did not think they could be guilty
as charged.
Lena Shock testified to the same ef-
feet. The Radonich boy was sent with
note and the Coughlan boy was with
him.
Justice Anderson said he wished to
get at the bottom of the affair If the
boys were annoying the inmates of the
Mission, he intended to put a summary
stop to it and it would go hard with
them. He did not wish, however, to
punish the boys if they We're innocent.
There did not seem to be any evidence
to implicate the -Coughlan boy in any
wrong doing. He would continue the
case for a day and get better inter-
prefer, SO that he could better under
stand the evidence

That Yarn About Removing the
Railroad Shops.

Once more the San Francisco Sails

ago Destroyed one of he buildings Ina.

here. Said that paper yesterday
"The vast additions to the west oak
land wards are the direct result OF the
big fire last summer at Sacramento
When the Sacramento shops were puru-
ed down not a bit of work could De
done for three months.
The absurdity of this statement Is
apparent when it is explained that the
Railroad Company's shops cover some
twenty acres of ground or more, and
that but one building Ca planning miiD
was destroyed and another partially,
out of that thickly- built city of shops.
The above statement was made for
the purpose of backing up another to
the effect that the railroad shops are
to be removed from Sacramento to Oak
land-a threat that the bay papers nave
been repeating for years. This can be
most easily disposed of by simply quot
ing H. j. Small, the company's Superin-
tendent of Motive Power and Macnln-
cry. Mr.. Small said yesterday:
'The story Is WITHOUT louAuoeioii'
There is no intention of moving any
of the shops from Sacramento This
is simply repetition of stories which
1 have been hearing for the past ten
years or ever since came here.
The work now being done in Oak
land for the railroad company was in
augurated at my suggestion. Better
switching facilities and more yard room
were needed, and I recommended that
the low land be filled in. The recon-
mendation was acted upon, and that is
all there is to it,

SOCIAL EVENTS.

The wedding Of Frank J. Ruhstaller,
Jr., and Miss Alice Marie Root last
evening, at the home Of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs H. T. Root, 3O2
o street, was one of the most brilliant
affairs witnessed in this city in many
day. The Root residence was
transformed into a perfect bower of
beauty. The parlor in which the cere-
mony was performed was decorated in
white and green, with graceful festoons
of smilax and the fragrance of choice
flowers was everywhere. The refresh
ment room was draped with yellow
tulle, with graceful pampas plumes,
granville boughs and marigolds in pro-
fusion to add to the beauty Of the
apartment. It was in the supper-room,
perhaps. that the decorative work of
the young ladies of the p. G.. Club
who are responsible for the lovely ap-
pearance of the rooms-reached its ell
max. Red predominated. There were
punches of scarlet berries sustained by
festooning of smilax, interspersed with
hearts of red, while graceful baskets
of deep-red roses were suspended from
the ceiling. There were flowers every
where.
The ceremony was performed beneath
a white canopy, above which was low
ers' knot Of carnation, roses and vio-
lets. Narrow Silken streamers led from
this to pretty hooks where snow-white
doves were perched and held the rib
bons in their beaks The bride was
gowned in white taffeta, draped with
liberty silk, the bridal veil being fas-
tened with orange blossoms. She car
ried a bouquet Of white carnations.
The bridesmaid, Miss Mabel j. Gran
dali, wore gown of lavender organdie
trimmed with violet velvet applique,
and carried a bouquet of California
violets. The groom was attended by E.
A. Nicolaus. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. S. J. Carroll of the
Sixth-street M. E. Church.
The young couple received over 100
beautiful and costly presents, consist
ing of silverware and cut-glass articles
of every description. One was a sterl-
ing silver tea-set, the gift of the
groom's fellow members Of the Helvetia
Rifle Club. In addition to these were
checks for various sums Of money the
parents of the bride being represented
by one of $500, and those of the groom
by one of $500 The ceremony was
Witnessed by nearly hundred personal
friends of the bride and groom, and the
reception that followed the elaborate
wedding supper was attended by over
400 guests.
This was intended to last until
o'clock this morning, when the happy
couple were to be escorted to the de-
pot, there to board the Oregon express
train for San Francisco. Their we'd
ding tour will probably consume
month among the orange groves and
cities in the southern portion Of the
State, and on their return they will
occupy the residence of Captain Ruh-
staller and wife, who intend to spend
year in Europe, and who will visit the
Paris Exposition during their absence.

DONNELLY'S DOINGS.
He Raised Particular Cain in a
Chinese Restaurant.

About II o'clock last night a man
who gave his name as William Don
nelly and said he had been a soldier in
the Philippines, cleaned OUT All
Fungs Chinese restaurant on Third
street, between I and ], in great shape.
The Cinnamon say he ordered meal
and refused to pay for it. Instead he
broke a sugar-b bowl over the head of
All Look, waiter, and then set to
work to demolish everything in sight.
They say the Filipino fighter soon had
the place looking as if it had been on
the firing line in Luzon.
The Chinese blew various blasts on
their whistles and made a great hula
balloo that soon brought Police Ser
geant Dolan and Officers Pennish and
Fitzgerald on the scene, and they hus-
tied the belligerent Mr.. Donnelly off to
the guard house. He will tell his side
of the story to-day in court

ADJUSTMENTS.

What Happened to Jones" drew
good house at the Clunie last night.
Harry Corson Clarke is at his best in
this farce of Broadhurst's, and there
is no denying that Clarke is a very
taking, successful comedian. In the
part of Jones he is irresistible, and wins
with every line he reads. The occasion
is not recalled when an audience in this
city was kept in such constant and up
roarious laughter as during the play
last evening Utterly absurd as is the
farce, it is one of the greatest laugh
provokers we have had here. The COM
pany supporting Clarke is a good one;
there is on weak timber. Scott Sea-
ton as the Bishop is very effective hu-
morously. He plays the part with
complete sinking of self. which is one
of the achievements of art, no matter
what the plane. It must require deal
of courage and self-sacrifice for
graceful, handsome young woman, as
Miss Banning is, to so disguise herself as
to appear an advanced, wrinkled and
ridiculously silly ancient spinster. But
she does it and admirably. Her AL
vina last night was really a central fig
ure and unquestionably a work of very
cunning design. Miss Laura Crews was
the "Cissy' of the comedy and
charming one in person and action. This
young woman, remembered only so
short a time ago as a precocious stage
child, has developed into a handsome,
graceful woman, and more than
clever actress. Miss Vaughan took Miss
Bruiguiere's part of Marjorie and filled
it admirably. One may doubt if there
was any loss by reason of the substi-
tuition. However. Miss Bruiguiere will
resume her role tonight, and Miss
Vaughan will become the Minerva of
the play. The piece will be given again
tonight and for the last time. San
Francico papers have charged that Mr..
Clarke lost in that city four of the lead
ing women of his troupe who left him
because they could not endure his DOM
ination- The four named as revolting
and deserting were Madam Bruiguiere,
daughter of Judge McKissick of San
Francisco; Miss Barrett, daughter OF
Madame De Troufride Smith of Portland,
Cecilia Castelle, who played an in
genue part and Ida Banning, a prom
inent society girl of Los Angeles Man
ager Clarke has this to say in sub
stance about it ALL First that the
story is not true, for Miss Banning is
with his company. and appeared last
night Second. that Miss Bruiguiere re-
manned in San Francisco for family

reasons only, but will rejoin the COM
pany here to-day. Third, that Miss Cas-
telle was taken on in San Francisco for
that place only to give her opportunity
to secure footing in the stage calling
which she has done under an engage
ment with a road company. Clarke
denies hotly that there was any revolt
on her part, and says her mother thank
ed him warmly for permitting her
daughter to fill even an inconsequential
part, with but one line of speech in 1t,
for week AS to the fourth, Miss
Barrett, Clarke says he let her out in
San Francisco, that she did not play
there and he had no further place for
her in his company. Clarke is hot
over the charge that there is discomfort
in his troupe and declares that he will
go to the bottom of the story and as
certain its genesis-with consequences.

The testimony in the case of W. G.

early yesterday afternoon in Judge
Hart's Court.
The defendant was examined at con-
siderable length, and he denied fatty
nearly everything to which Officer Max
Fisher and W. H. Gestner had testified
for the prosecution. He said that, in
stead of telling the police that he did
not know the men from whom he pur-
chased the sacks stolen from Frank
Kunsting, he told them who they were
and that Gestner was one. He said he
bought the sacks at Fishers request for
the purpose, as he supposed, of entrap-
ping the thieves, and that he aided the
officers in every way possible to make
a case against them.
