saying, "The gratitude owe to Ober-
lin is twOfold: for I am woman and

the pivot of the Oberlin creed. Oberliu
has always been true to her colOrs.
She has never turned her back upon
man because Of his color or upon wO-

 San Rafael (Cal.) Spec. San Frars cisco Bulletin. John Bartini and Joe Lafranky, two Italian fishermen, came very near meeting their deaths the other morning off MeNear's Point. in San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose Of catching founders, and when the tiGe started to turn they proceeded to pull In, when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual. They thougbi they had an unusual large catch of founders, but when they had hllly 40 fathoms of net pulled into the boat large sea lion was noticed splashing the water at a furious rate Bartini called to Lafranky to get an oar and hit him. but just as he had said the words the sea lion stuck his head out of the water and, seeing the boat and it's occupants, made lunge, capsizing the craft. Bartini. who is a good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and, seizing him by the arm, dragged him tr' the boat and fln- ally managed to get him on the bottom. When the boat capsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft was made fast The sea lion continued splashing the water at terrific rate. and the Ital fans were badly frightened. They called for help, but their cries were O no avail. as their voices could not bs Beard hundred yards, the wind blow lng terrific gale. Finally. after they had been Tn the water for fully three hours, d schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard, and the crew lowered a small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians. who were almost exhausted from fright and cold. After about an hour the boat was lighted, the lion being killed with a shotgun from the schooner. It proved 70 be large one, weighing fully 1000 Hounds. The lion was probably follow ing shoal of herring up the bay and ran foul of the Italians net and suc- eeeded in getting tangled up in it. The net Is complete wreck. This Is the second. time that sea lion has been so caught in San Pablo Bay and almost at the cost of life.

 The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one Of the achievements of the closing cen, tury. The commercial object Of the Wilmington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dwelt h the remote fastnesses Of the great forests whence it came. During the gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to De apparently docile, but there was no mistaking their uncivi1- ized state. Clothing, save strip or two, worn by the women, are unknown, The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-colored, of middle height, with we'll shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair Is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad, cheekbones not generally prominent. eyes black, and, strange to say, some, times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea- pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow. The bows are of great length, and in the hands of 8 skilled native can be made formidable.

The suggestion of substituting a Martini -Metford carbine for the sword an officer usually carries is being large. ly discussed in military circles. The objection against the sword is that when marching through hilly country it hampers an officers movements in getting over rough ground, while a carbine could be used as walking stick. thus being a great help and SUD- port.

A WCMAN'S VIEW.

L. Clair Davis, woman writer tor
the Stockton Mail, thus reviews
B'yan's speech:
Usually don t read clear through
the speech of acceptance of any Presi-
dental nominee, because it is gener-
ally rather stupid stuff, bristling with
glittering generalties and tiresome
with long, wordy, "hot-air' phrases.
A glance at the he adings with more
or less violent effort to get at the
meaning of the verbiage under the
ones that interest me, usually suffice.
And If the truth were told few men,
excepting the poor telegraph e. tor
and the proof reader, do more t an
that, notwithstanding their la re,
condescending air toward the nom
voting sex when matters political are
mentioned.
But Mr.. Bryan s speech OF accept

piece Of simple phraseology and d.
Iectness, and enj ed reading every
word of it; ard in a few places did l
have to go back and re-read any para

clear thinking makes clear speaking
aid clear writing nobody can COM
plain of Mr.. Bryan's thinker. Not
even the humblest workman need re-
main in doubt as to what he means,
It seems to be few columns Of the
best written stuff I've seen in any
