OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

~ FFICIALS of the army and Of the navy have
1 designated "The Star-Spangled Banner as
~ the national anthem of the United States and
quite probable the people will follow the lead thus
given. 1t is becoming the practice, moreover, for
audiences to rise and to stand uncovered while the
air is played These things in response to what
is evidently popular aspiration, and accordingly
they are to be commended since they stand as evil
dences OF the increasing ardor of American pa
triotism.
Concedng everything that be urged in favor
of the air chosen as national anthem and of the
practice of standing uncovered whenever it is played
there remain certain serious objections the whole
thing In the first place standing for long time un-
covered in the open air is of the formal outward
evidences of respect that might just well be dis
pensed with even under circumstances where it has
hitherto prevailed, and it would be almost folly to
carry it further by establishing occasion for it.
Many American has stood uncovered by the grave
of friend while long ritual service was being car
ried out, only to go home with cold or pneu-
monia that brought him ere long to the graveyard
also Physicians have time and again given warn
ings of the dangers of the custom, and no single
reason can be given why it should be continued at
funerals, much less extended to all occasions where

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept IL
The circular letter issued from the presi-
dents office a few days ago requiring
all members of the defunct Inn Club to
pay a pro rata assessment of $40 by the
25th inst, or have their registration in
the university Cancelled, was to-day re-
scinded by President Jordan.
According to the law, the members OF
the club are responsible for only $1,000 OF
the deficit, and as they have agreed TO
raise this amount on their own account
the university authorities have extended
the time for this purpose. The pro rata
assessment will now not exceed 50 40 and
in case the property of the club can be
sold for $500 the assessment will be re-
duced to SO TO- For the $500 balance OF
the deficit the directors nf the organlza-
tion are alone liable.
An attempt is now being made 10 nave

LYNCHING is DENOUNCED
IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS
Chief Justice of Delaware Supreme
Court Delivers Strong Charge
to Grand Jury.

WILMINGTON, Sept 2-Chief Jus
tice Loree of the Delaware Supreme
Court to-day delivered strong charge to
the Grand Jury which is considering the
criminal work of the county courts. Af-
ter reciting the details of the murder on
June Is of Helen Bishop by George White
and the subsequent lynching of White by
a mob, Justice LOree said:
For the first time, the lawless and revolving
crime of lynChing has invaded this State.
Lynching Is a crime against the law Of both
God and man. Every willful participant In
such an act is a murderer. No man has a
right to commit that crSle because he be
Iieves or fears that some other person who is
intrusted with the execution Of the law will
fail or has failed in the performance OF his
duty.
Under the law we know what our rights are,
and in the main. find that they are fairly
attained and enforced No human laws or
human institutions are perfect This no rea-
sOnable viii EXPECT
Lynching and mob law. their promoters and
encOuragers. whether they be OF high or low
degree, should receive no favors at the hands
of thoughtful and patriotic men. There must
be government or nOn-gOvernment The line
Of cleavage is clear! All history teaches that
the prevalence Of mob law is the end OF free
government. Obedience to law is the life
breath of our republic.
To you the people look for the faithful fear
less and honest discharge Of your duty. They
ask nothing more and expect nothing less.

FOR FUNCTION

The members Of the Entire Nous Co
tillon will open their fourteenth season
with an assembly and german on Friday
evening, October 80, in the new ballroom
of the Palace Hotel.
Robert Browning in Music" was pre-
sented by the San Francisco Musical Club
at Century Hall last Thursday morning.
The programme opened with three
Browning songs composed by the Misses
Caroline Fuller and Clara Rogers; these
were rendered with much pathos and
sympathy by Miss Ella McCloskey, the
contralto, whose personality and voice
seemed especially adapted to the text and
melody. Readings were given by Mrs.
James w Edwards. after which Miss
Frances Rock delighted the club with her
rendition of Bachs Fugue IN d minor
and other selections.
The programme was one of high stand
ard and bespeaks much for the musical
intelligence of the members of the club.
San Francisco has a treat in store in
an entertainment to be given at Y. NJ c.
A. Hall September 26 for the benefit of
the Chinese Woman's Hospital The pro-
gramme is to be rendered by leading pro-
fessionals, assisted by Oriental artists in
native costume 1t is to be the first en-
tertainment of it's kind ever given in
America The hall is to be decorated in
Oriental style and a Chinese orchestra
will furnish music. Another very inter
esting feature will be a Chinese ladies'
quartet Mr.. Chez 500 Lowe, who is at
tending the University of California, is
to sing a solo, accompanied by Miss
All Tie. Mr.. Lowe has won many friends
by his sweet. sympathetic voice. Miss
Suey Leen, a young Chinese lady who
has studied voice culture for some time,
will also give a vocal selection. Suey
Leen has made numerous trips to differ
public. She has always been greeted
with great enthusiasm on account of her
clear high notes. The real Chinese music,
as furnished by the best professionals, is
something that is not heard every day.
The great musicians of Europe are max
ing a careful study into the science of
Chinese music and are finding many in
teresting and instructive points regarding
the art of music.
The quartet before mentioned, COM
posed of Qua Lou, All Tie and Margaret
and All Ching, is we'll known in this city,
the young ladies having sung before large
audiences in the public institutions.
Among the professionals who are to rem
der the programme are Miss Jenne Mar
row Long Professor Adelstein and others
we'll known in concert work. The vocal
ist Of the evening, Walter Hastings Oh
ney, is new to San Francisco audiences,
having recently come to this city. Mr..
OIney has studied under the best masters
and his rich barytone voice shows the
polish of true artist.
