selves and by no act Of u1s will we
assign to ourselves a subordinate rank
in the family of nations. My fellow
citizens, the public events Of the past
four years have gone into history.
They are too near to Justify recital.
Some Of them were unforeseen; many
of them momentous and far-reaching
in their consequences to ourselves and
our relations with the rest of the
world. The part which the United
States bore so honorably in the thrill
ing scenes in China, while new to
American life, has been in harmony
with its true spirit and best traditions
and in dealing with the results it's
policy will be that Of moderation and
fairness.
We face all this momentous and
most important question-that of the
future relations of the United States
and Cuba. With our rear neighbors
we must remain close friends. The
declaration of the purposes of this
government in the resolution of April
20, 1898, must be made good. Ever
since the evacuation of the island by
the army of Spain the executive with
all practicable speed has been assisting
it's people by successive steps G
sary to the establishment of a free
and independent government prepared
to and perform the obligations
of international law which now rests
upon many states under the treaty OF
Paris. The convention elected by the
people to frame a constitution is ap-
poaching the completion Of it's labors.

WHERE HIS TRICoLoR WAS
The American Minister'S Happy An
swer to Frech Patriot

In the Harpers Christmas there arc
printed for the first time the letters of
Mrs. Rives, the wife Of the American
minister TO France during the revolu-
tion OF 1880 Mrs. Riyes tells charm
ing little story of her husband, an an
cestor OF the recently appointed cor
poration counsel of New York
Some days after the revolution. Mr..
Riyes received an invitation. In the
name OF the lieutenant general of the
kingdom, inviting him to attend the
Chamber OF Deputies the next morn.
ing There was so little order restored
about these matters that we could not
procure the necessary billets OF admis-
sion: but having, ] suppose. a sort OF
pfesentment that something cXtraor-
binary was to be done. and as Mr.
Washington Irving. who happened to be
with us. coincided with me in opinion
that so polite a people would not re-
fuse admittance to a lady, and that he
might be smuggled in as an attache.
we determined to make the experiment.
ION our arrival we found a great
crowd OF citizens OF every sort around
the portal, looking at every one as they
descended from their carriages with a
degree OF familiarity that was far from
agreeable. "Ah. ha monsieur" said one
OF them scrutinizing Mr.. Rives, "you
are quite fine with your habit brode, but
whore is the tricoior pointing al
the same time To a national cocade
which adorned his own rusty hat and n
tricolorcd ribbon depending from his
buttonhoic Mr. Riyes smiled "Cest

hand On his heart. "Brayoi" replied
the patriotic bourgeois, and immediate

left. leaving a space wide enough for a
coach to pass"

The football game last Saturday
between L. C. A. and Bakersfield
failed to draw a very large crowd
because of the weather, which was
very warm. 1t was an interesting
game, however, as will be seen by the
following account of it,
FIRST HALF.-Hyde Park kicked
off. Bakersfield gained her distance
once, then lost the ball on downs,
Hyde Park kept the ball for the re-
mainder of the half. Good runs by
Hickey, Darling and McGinnis gave
two touchdowns. When time was
called, Hyde Park had the ball on
Bakersfed's 3 yard line.
SECOND HALF.-The second half
was more closely contested, Bakers
field playing a much stronger game.
B. A. kicked off. Good runs carried
the ball to the 80 yard line, where
Hyde Park lost it on a tumble. Bak-
ers6eld had Just made her distance
when she dropped the ball. Newcomb
fell on it and then advanced it a good
ten yards. Hyde Park sent Jackson
through the center for successive
gains, until he was pushed across the
line for a touchdown. B. A. put up
her strongest play for the rest of the
game. She soon forced l.. G. A. to
punt and was slowly advancing the
ball, when time was called at L. c.
