down the street to big oak tree, and
 there. with a. dozen husky pioneers at
 the long end of each rope, the bad men
 met their fate. Thereafter the miners
 said 'Hangtown" when they referred
 to the little camp.
 Then there is another story which
 differs from the preceding one Tn the
 romantic detail that the crime IS laid
 at the door of an organized gang or desperadoes, several of which infested
 the country. The bands are said to
 have been of the genuine dime novel
 variety, with grips signs and pass
 words. It is quite possible that the robbers were members of such an or ganization as that known as the "Owls" The story goes that one night
 they raided a. trading post belonging to a Frenchman, in Log Cabin RaVlne.
 He was known to have dust in consid- erable quantities in his possession, and
 his fortune proved his ruin The
 despoiled merchant gave the alarm as soon as possible, and it was not long until the miscreants were in the hands of the miners, and the same white oak tree that served as gallows according to the first story was made use or Ill executing the sentence Of the TOUT des- peradoes. It is stated, however, in be- half of he pioneers, that word had been received from a camp further south that the same men were wanted TOT murder. and that this fact had much to do with the imposing of the death sentence.
 A third story has it that the men were arrested for highway robbery on the old Georgetown road, ana that hanging was not contemplated until an officer arrived from toward San Fran cisco and identified the men as the per petrators of a brutal murder in his sec ton. Again the oak tree hgures as gibbet.
 These three stories may be but dfifer- ent version of the same affair ana per haps no one of them is absolutely cor rect in detail. It is safe to assume, however, that among the three the true story of the first hanging is found. It is noticeable that the hanging had rob bery for it's immediate cause ana not murder. Not more than one man was ever afterward lynched in HangtoWn, and he for killing.
 Thus then, came into being the name of "Hangtown," not through the fact that lynchings were common, put rom one and only one hanging. The nick name stuck" and the result is that many people have a false impression of the character of the old camp. There are as many towns in the East ana South that are fully as deserving or the title as was the little western vil- laee. But Eastern and Southern ton- gues are not as apt to coin nicknames as were the laconlc and blunt-speaklng 1 men of 49.
 The corner of Main and Coloma streets is now, as it was then, the cen- | ter of the town, and business houses at each of it's four angles deprive 1t or I any suggestion of what happened there one day, a half century ago. The white | oak is only a memory as a big brlck block has for years stood over its stump But down at the rear of the f stores the waters of a little mountain . creek ripple over the rocks in it's bed. On it's north bank they say at spot which would be in full view from the Coloma street bridge if a newspaper of flee had not been erected there some

 CONCERT AT BAYFIELD,.

Fine Programme Rendered by Profes-
 sor Harry Jepson and Others.
 Battell chapel was crowded to the doors last evening. Harry B. Jepson, assistant professor of music and the regular Battell organist, played a de- lightful programme, several numbers being quite new. A scherzo by Enrico Bossi was novelty in construction and gave opportunity for some unique instrumentation and dainty coloring. In the Elgar sonata e major) the an- dante movement of which, was played, Mr Jepson displayed some strong tech nique as well as virtuosity with the different registration Horatio Par ker's concert piece No. 3, which is com paratively new, was also played In Charles Marie Widor's fifth organ sym phony, of which all of the five numbers but one were played, MT. Jepson did his best work. This showed his excel lent talent and gave opportunity for much beautiful coloring. As a whole the programme was remarkably well played.

X YALE'S EARLY ADVOCATE.

Something of Rev. John Davenport S
 Efforts in New Haven.
 Last evening at the First Methodist church the Rev John G. Davenport of Waterbury, an eloquent Congregation ! alist, gave an able resume of the eff forts of his famous ancestor, Rev. John 4 Davenport, to found a college in this city.
 The speaker of last evening is di- rect descendant of this founder of New Haven and his address was with refer ence to the educational institution whose two hundredth anniversary we are celebrating.
 Y He said that although he was not a Yale man he took an unusual interest fin the celebra tion because he bore the name and shared the blood of the first New Haven pastor back of the date of the charter. He said the germ of the University came from over the sea and that it was memorable fact that the five men who participated in the found ing of New Haven came from English anniversaries. They were Rev. Peter Prudden, Rev. John sherman, Rev. Thomas James Rev, Samuel Eaton and Rev. John Davenport 2 The speaker told the many attempts gln 1643 made by Rev. MT Davenport to found an institution of learning, of his failures by reason of opposition from Harvard, which was then in existence and carefully traced the history of the town.
 He drew many lessons from these ef- forts which finally resulted in this splendid university.

] A CHAPTER IN FRENCH HISTORY, The first cookerq-booS published in France appeared in 1892, at Rouen, by the Sieur de la Varanne. It had a sin
 gular dedication to the Marquis d'Uv-
 elles: My Lord: While my condition renders me incapable of the possession
 of an heroic heart, it nevertheless,
 gives me sufficient attitude not to for
 get my duty. I have found in your
 mansion, after an employment there of
 ten years, the secret to prepare food
 with perfect excellence"
 A famous book upon the same sub
 iect was 'Dons de Comus, of the date of ITO, composed by the cook of the Duchesse de Chaulnes.
 The exquisite cookery of the eigh-
 teenth century owes it's origin to the French Regent Orleans. The notorious Duchesse de Berri' his daughter, in vented certain favorite dishes, which were served at the pro1ligate suppers of the day. Particular allusion Is here made to the libertine suppers of the Due d'Orleans, which seem to have ex- celled those of the Count d'Artois, giv- en in Paris before the Revolution, and aided to overturn the family of the Bourbons.
 Tn the reign of Louis XIV and XVI. the excess at the tables of some of the French nobility seemed to tempt that catastrophe, when the terrible distress of the people around Is taken into &C., count. In the kitchen of the Prince de Ia,e fbon twenty pheasants were consumed weekly. The Due de Penthievre, on go- ing to preside over the estates of Bur gundy, was heralded by one hundred and fifty-two "hommes de bouchen' There was a sad blow, however, struck at this kind of prodigality when Louis XIV. died. Cookery ceased to be as re- cherche as before. Louis XVI. was a hard, plain, downright eater who re- garded quantity more than grand finesse de gout or any exquisite sense of flavor" He looked for quantity in a good solid joint, of which he ate enor- mously-a trump of beef, or "cut and come again." was then the royal taste. | The Revolution changed even this plain aspect of things.

SATURDAYS FOOTBALL GAMES.

1ale Won Hard Fought Game From
 the Penn State Team.
 Yale met a tough proposition when she faced the Penn State college team at the Yale field Saturday afternoon. The local team won by the score of 22 to 0, but the figures do not in the least indicate the character of the game played. Yale was put on the defen- sive most of the second half and failed to gain the necessary five yards four times during the playing period. The Penn State men would certainly have pushed the ball over the line but for the incessant fumbling of her backs.

Many Municipalities Busy With Ex-
tensive Public Enterprises.
From the New York Tribune.
In no previous period of the worlds his
tory have so many cities been busy at the
same time with extensive and costly pub
lie enterprises. The daily. reader of the
news of all countries cannot fail to have
noticed that the closing years Of the nine
teenth century and the opening year of the
twentieth have been marked by the begin
ming or the continuance of municipal un-
dertakings the total cost of which will
amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.
In London and Paris and in other capitals
of Europe local railways. underground and
on the surface, are In course Of construc-
tion will be begun at an early date. The
tendency to improve the facilities for local
transportation is widespread and seems
now to have become irresistible in many
quarters. Progressive communities with
ample resources and conspicuous fer pop
ulation and advancement are entering upon
notable tasks for the benefit of cir citi-
zens and Of strangers within their gates
Rapid transit Is watchword and a rally
ing cry both in the eastern and western
hemispheres. and armies Of wage earners
are toiling In subways. on elevated roads
and on the street levesl in dozens and
scores of well-known places here and
abroad. But the principal cities Of the
globe are concerned with other great works
than those which will effect the swift distri-
button of hosts Of passengers. Schemes for
the construction of new docks and piers on
the most ambitious scale, for the deepening
and broadening Of harbor channels and for
the opening of wider avenues of commerce
and trade in the best-known ports of vari-
GUS countries are more numerous and are
planned on more generous lines than in any
former era And the provision OF more
abundant supplies Of water for cities which
consume huge quantities is drawing mill
lions upon millions Of dollars from munich

It is probably not generally known that
