Speaking of Retreats.

It Is probable that the magnificent
flight of Kuropatkin from Liaoyang
will gain that general the name of the
Grand Old R%etreater." Whether this
is to prove the most famous military
crawfishing known to history remains
to be seen. Xenophon with his 10000
Greeks once made a very celebrated
getaway. and other commanders OF
more recent times have done stunts In
the retiring line. For one, Washington
nce stole away, leaving some Quaker
cannon to deceive the British. In the
war between the states was Beaure-
CARDS evacuation Of Corinth, Miss, In
the spring of 1862. Beauregard was
strongly %intrenched at Corinth, and
Halleck and Grant were slowly envel-
oping him in a grim Gordon he could
not hope to break, with a force he did
not dare to meet. The Federal com
manders were drawing nearer and
nearer every day by mean of zigzag
trenches, and the big guns from the
DOulc NCl0 SliClilhS thC
position with steadily increasing fury.
But Beauregard had been quietly ship
ping the sick, the wounded, the wag-
ons, the animals and nearly all the men
fit for service-shipping them south to
a position some eighty miles distant
until, on the same evening, when the
Federal troops were ready for the as
sault, the Confederate camphres rep
resented only Il strong rear guard in
light marching order. 1t was about 10
O'Clock that night when, with the big
shells bursting all about them, Il few
thousand men in gray filed from many
directions into the hard, smooth, sandy
road, and six or seven hours later the
Federals swarmed ovk. the breast
works, only to find a beggarly debris
of battered canteens and frowsy horse
blankets and the like, with Beaure-
CARDS army out Of danger and the rear
guard trotting southwark twenty
miles away!
To be perfectly just to the Russian
manner In which he got his army out
Of a very bad hole was even more
mastery than that of B~eauregard. 1t
sometimes requires as great general
ship to conduct a retreat as to win q
victory.

An Expert Opinion.

The contention among business men
that a college degree does not neces-
sarily fit a young man for a successful
career has had support from an unex-
pected source.
Sir William Ramsay is a scientist of
great distinction in his own country
He is a member of the faculty of the
University of London, where he occu-
pies the chair of chemistry. Moreover,
he has won 10Y as an investigator
In a recent lecture in New York he is
reported to have said:
And now let us discuss a question which
has not given difficulty in America, l I'M
derstand. but which has greatly retarded
the advance of knowledge and research in
England. l refer to examinations. l have
often seen men whose circumstances or
whose character or whose deliberate
choice has led them to abstain from taxi
Ing a degree, and who are none the less
most successful investigators and who
have proved most inspiriting teachers.
On the other hand, l have perhaps more
frequently come in contact with grad
yates whose only claim to recognition is
a parrotlike ability to repeat what has
been told them and a knack of gauging
the -idiosyncrasies of the examiner. The
older l get the less 1 believe in the uni
versity degrees as a test of capacity.
1t would seem that a man without a
degree is better than a degree without
a man.

black chene taffetas in the new heavy

but biaa folds about three inches from

much time and money-the pink was
so very pink and the white so very

style is clearly before us in the even

ing pretty nearly what one wants, pro

very smart stands straight as a reed,
with her broad shoulders braced back

Street gowns for ordinary walking
requirement are made of cloth, mo-
hair, yicuna and a long line of zibelines,
some of them with but occasional hairs
while the others are thickly covered
and are called panne zibelines. CheY-
lots. ~cravenettes and many other things
in colors, with broadcloth, eudora, silk
warp henriettas and other all black
materials, are plentiful. Irish poplin
is also seen; but, beautiful as all pop
lin is, it does not wear very well, espe-
cially if it gets wet.
In the illustration may be seen the
style of the. new evening gowns, which
have pointed bodices with the skirts
gathered and even draped. Lace will
be used as garniture, but in a manner
new to this generation. Flowers will
hold the festoons. The plain silks are
rich and heavy, and there are a few
'shot'' ones, which means c~hangeable.
The black silks are in full evidence
and will be the favorite weave of the
season. One might even say that for
the street silk will be worn to an al
most unprecedented extent. The skirts

FASHIONS LAT EST DlCTA.
All That is Novel In Skirts, Street
Attire and Fabrics.

The recent convention of dressmak-
ers from everywhere and Paris
has decided for us what we are to
wear for the next year or longer, and,
after all, the change is for the better
for all except for the one who pays
the bills.
There has been much talk in the pa
pers about the skirts, which, they say,
will measure thirty feet around-ten
yards. That is Il story got up to fill
out in round numbers and to give
something IN the way of ballast. There
are skirts which measure ten yards
around, but they are the accordion
plated ones, and the material for these
is always thin and, generally speaking,
inexpensive. But skirts are certainly
to be larger around, and some of them
show decided indications of drapery.
The rest are large around the hips and
gathered, shirred or laid in folds or
gagged deeply in the back in the very
old fashioned way. This makes the
back of the skirt full at the waist line
and is not altogether unlike IL hustle.
The skirt is ample and the breadths
are gored SO that the whole sweeps
backward In a very stately anner.
Skirts for ordinary street e are
mo- to be as long as before, scarcely
n out OF a hundred quite touching
the ground. There Is a slight dip at
the back, but not enough to be remark
able.
The new styles will make richer
goods a necessity. and we may expect
to see the rich silks of other days
brocades, heavy black grosgrains, peau
de soies and all the list so well known
Of old. Waists will be pointed, but
without the horrible straight fronts
which distort the figure to real deform-
ity and with the dropping shoulder to
give apparent breadth to the upper
part of the body. Sleeves will be large
at the top and taper down to the wrist,
much like the old leg of mutton, but
somewhat modified, for the last ones
we had about fifteen years g took
from four to five yards of material.
For street attire there will be many
tight bodices made with position
backs and regular habit fronts. The
white vest front made of satin OF
white ribbed velutina Is handsome and
particularly fetching or a pretty fig
ure. The tight waist is the blessing
of ONE with pretty figures. Those
whose figures were-well, such as leave
something to be desired-have had il
all their own way since he blouse
waists have been in vogue. Now The

ALAMEDA v ANTS
ANOTHER PARK
Improvement Associations
Will Urge City Trustees
to Buy a Suitable Tract

ALAMEDA, June 12.-Concerted ef-
forts are being made by the West End
Improvement Association and the Ala
media Advancement Association to in
augurate a movement having for its
purpose the purchase of a tract of land
to be converted by the municipality
into a public park. The matter has
been introduced and discussed at re-
cent meetings of both organiza tions
and it is planned to soon bring the pro-
ject to the attention of the City Trus-
tees.
At present Alameda has but one park
and that is hardly entitled to the name
because Of its small area. There are
but few tracts of land now undivided
in the city from which park could be
made and this is being urged as a rea-
son by the promoters of the project
why there should be no delay in buy
ing q site for a common outing ground.
Of the tracts that have received at
tenticn the Cohen property at the
northeastern end of the municipality
is the largest, containing nearly one
hundred acres. 1t borders on the tidal
canal and is ornamented with many
stately oaks and other trees. The
Thompson property at the East End.
the Waymire tract at the corner OF
Clement avenue and Walnut street, the
Webster street cricket grounds and the
old Encinal Park property have also
been inspected and considered by those
favoring the buying of park site.

1t is thought that Payne attempted to
cross in front of the car and that he
was not observed by the motorman
until it was too late to prevent him
from being knocked down and run
over.
Payne lived with his wife and son,
Robert Payne Jr.. at 1877 Broadway,
and was employed by Hillehouse &
Reardon, street contractors. He went
to work as usual yesterday and when
he did not return home last night his
wife and son became somewhat alarm
ed but made no search for him until
this morning. They have not learned
where he spent the time after his day s
work was done until he met with the
| injuries that caused his death.
Payne was a native of Palmer, Ill.
where his father still resides. He had
been in California but a year. Be-
sides his widow and son the deceased
leaves a daughter, Mrs. James l.. Ro-
han of 361 Thirteenth street, this city.

Hart Greensfelder Begins
Movement to Get Money
for Social Settlement
FRIENDS PROMISE HELP
Mrs. Hearst Gives Over All
of Property and Offers
to Aid the Enterprise
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
2148 Center Street, June Il.

E4fo CGHlSl OlICSt, y ullC Il.
A movement has been started to Sc
cure funds with which to continue the
work of the West Berkeley Social Set
tlement, from which Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst withdrew a large part of her
support week ago. Hart Greensfelder,
one of the resident workers at the set
tlement, is at the head of the effort,
and he has been promised the support
of a number of well-to-do people.
1t is estimated that it will cost $2500
year to keep the work of the settle
ment going This will pay the salaries
of two or three people and purchase the
material used By the children. There
will be nothing to pay on account of
the buildings, as Mrs. Hearst has gen
erOusly turned these over to the people
in charge of them. Mrs. Hearst has
also said that she would contribute the
salary of the head resident worker,
Miss Margaret Sherwood, for a year,
besides paying all the necessary ex-
penSes incidental to the transfer of the
property so that the people interested
in the settlement will be relieved of a
large part of the financial burden for
a while at least.
In order TO secure the necessary money
it is proposed to make a systematic
canvass. Promises of money have al
ready been secured by Mr.. Green's
fielder from friends of the settlement
and many people are expected to con-
tribute regular monthly sums to the
cause. If necessary the services of
well-known lecturers will be secured
and the proceeds from their efforts
turned over to the fund.
Some part of the money needed will
come from the members of the settle
ment themselves. A fee of 10 cents a
month has heretofore been charged the
children, but this may be raised to %
cents, so that the settlement will be in
a measure self-supporting. In the past
the money received from fees was used
for monthly entertainments.
There were 200 children connected
with the settlement. and during the
college year forty students from the
University of California gave them in
struction without cost. The influence of
the settlement for good cannot be esti-
mated, and ii has had a special value
in preparing and disciplining the chill
dren for the public schools in the dis
trict. Instruction was given the chill
dren in all the arts and crafts. The in
struction helped to bring out the
artistic side of their natures, as well as
to give them a preliminary training in
the practice of useful employments. A
gathering place was provided for the
children, and mothers overburdened
with household duties knew of a place
of safe keeping for them. In a word,
the settlement was a blessing to West
Berkeley families. and it's ennobling in
fluence will be greatly missed unless the
movement to endow 1t with new life is
successful.

PROVES LARVAE COME
FROM S,lGMENTED EGGS
Professor Georges Bullot of Univer-
sfty of California Settles Ones
ton That Vexcd Scientists.

BERKELEY, June 12.-In a bull
letin Just issued under the title of
Artificial Parthenogenesis and Reg
ular Segmentation in an Annelid,"
Professor Georges Bullot one of DR..
Jacques Loeb's assistants in the physi-
illogical laboratory at the University Of
California, has demonstrated that in
the annelid, a marine worm of the
genus Ophelia, the parthenogenetic
larvae, that is. the larvae produced by
artificial treatment of the element in
which the animal lives, originates from
regularly segmenting eggs.
Heretofore there was doubt upon
this question and some scientists be-
lieved that in annelids the partheno-
genetic larvae was produced from un-
segmented eggs. that is. eggs that re-
tanned their original shape instead of
dividing into cells.
