The best horses here will meet next
Saturday in the Lissak handicap at

house cup at two and a quarter miles,
and the Thornton stake over four
miles. Claude is entered in the latter
event, and many think it would be

stake at New Orleans. two seasons

for the two long distance numbers.
w. Davis continues to dosgood, con-

safely be predicted that he will finish
the season at the top of the heap. Nc

Inspectors Who Do Not Inspect.

The burning Of another New York
steamboat a few days ago developed
the fact that, Notwithstanding all the
vigor of inspection after the event
manifested following the Slocum dis
aster, the burned boat and sister ves-
sci had escaped the general reinspec-
some months ago. The frequency with
which vessels that escape" inspection
burn up seems to convey no lesson to
those responsible. II there is one branch
of the public service above others
which should be trustworthy It Is that
having charge OF the protection Of life.
Yet experience has shown 1t to be par
ticularly lax. It is time 1t was made
plain that profuseness of promise after
a disaster will not be taken as an ex-
cuse for lack of performance In pre-
venting the accidents.-Pitsburg Dis

Cutting or Boys From Tobacco.

The Spanish Cortes Is about to be-
come the scene of remarkable ex-
pertinent in social legislation. The Min
ister~ of the Interior has drafted a bill
absolutely prohibiting the selling of to-
bacco, cigars or cigarettes to any per-
son under IL years of age. The penal
ties vary from G2 to s20, with i'm
prisonment in exceptionally bad cases.
The measure is justified as imperative
for the arrest of racial degeneration.
tuberculosis makes great ravages
among Spanish laboring youths, who,
for the most part, undernourished and
already enfeebled by this and over
work, aggravate matters by spending
much of their scanty wages in tobacco,
generally cigarettes.-London Globe

Birth of the Moon.

Year by year the moon is getting a
few inches more distant, and reversing
the argument, year by year in the great
past the moon was nearer to us. Pro-
fessor George Darwin has shown that
long, long ago the moon revolved close
to the earth. and, still earlier formed
part Of this globe. From that time to
the present he calculates that at least
$4,000, 900 years must have elapsed. The
birth of the moon took place, therefore,
somewhere about that date in the past.
Sir Robert Ball observed that when
the moon was near to us its attraction
must have produced enormous tides.
many times greater than those that
wash our shores to-day, and he sug-
gested that these tides, by their power
full erosions and wasting of the land,
accelerated the geological forces and
so reduced the tremendous periods
which the biologists have demanded

PLEASANTON WANTS REGULAR
RACING MEET EVERY YEAR
Secretary Adams of the Local Asso-

State Officials.

PLEASANTON, Jan. 15.-The peo-
pie of Pleasanton are making an effort
to have a regular racing meet here
every year. The Pleasanton Racing
Association has conducted several
such events in the last few years, but
it is now proposed to make it regu-
lar event under State auspices. Sec
retary F. e. Adams has returned from
Sacramento, where he conferred with
Governor Pardee and a number Of
members of the State Legislature upon
the project.
This place is becoming one of the
great horse centers of the United
States, and there are many noted ami
mails here all the year round. There
is no city in California which has bet
ter surroundings for such an event
than this place, and Secretary Adams
is doing all in his power to boom the
project.

SAY HILDRETH
SHOT FRIEND
Well-KnOWn Turfman Jailed
in New Orleans as Re-

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 15.-Sam
C. Hildreth, the well known turfman,
is in serious trouble here as the result
of the mysterious shooting of a man
by the name of John Moses at a resort.
Hildreth is now under arrest, charged
with shooting and wounding Moses, but
claims that he is not guilty. Neither
of the men will discuss the affair.
The bullet grazed Moses head and
he was unconscious for several hours,
but wiki recover. The women in the
resort, who are the only ones that have
given the police any information, say
that Hildreth made a bet with Moses
that he could shoot off the latter's hat
without hurting him. That he lost his
bet is evident.

Heat Food without Fire.

In the recent news many people
have noticed one of two references
to the fact that timed meats for the
Russian troops are prepared by a pro-
cess which enables the contents of
each tin to be served hot without a
fire. This boon is obtained by having
the ordinary tins filled with food
'jacketed'' In patent tins. The patent
tin contains water, together with a
chemical mixture by means of which
the water can be raised toA boiling
point in ten minutes or quarter OF
an hour. All that is necessary to do
when it is desired to heat the food
is to puncture the top of the patent
tin, the chemical mixture being there
by forced into the water. which soon
begins to boil.-London Mail.

New Kind of Potato.

A new species of white potato is be-
ing cultivated in France from a Pc
ouliar variety found in Uruguay 1t is
believed that it is destined to replace
even the Irish potato. Originally a
very bitter tuber, the new vegetable
becomes, after three or four years of
cultivation, an admirable food product.
It's yield is enormous and it is exempt
from maladies that attack the ordinary
potato. 1t grows best in moist soil, its
native habitat being the marshy shores
Of the river Mercedes, in Uruguay. It's
flowers have a jasmine-like odor and
a delicate perfume has already been
extracted from them. After one plant
ing the species perpetuates itself from
the broken roots left in the ground

Had to Humor Customers.

It is not only cigars that vary In
name without varying in quality. The
present writer was once told when
hesitating between fresh eggs at
ten shilling. and good breakfast
eggs" at eight shilling, or something
to that effect, that these two brands
were precisely the same, but had to be
sold as two qualities because no custom
ers would buy eggs at shop where only
one quality was advertised. That may
or may not be so. The fact remains
that there are many qualities of eggs
known to all housewives before we
get down to what a late comedian
termed briefly eggs. London Chroni-

Formally Awarded Worlds PEN
nant This Week,

New York, Dec. 13.-During the pres

in this city for its annual fall session.
1t is customary at that meeting for the
championship to be formally awarded
to the winning team. Thanks to the
excellent work of the New York Giants
IN 1905 the pennant will go to them.
There is still another pennant which.
is to be received by the Giants for the
skill which they displayed this year
but that is to come a little later-in
fact, some time next spring, when the
national commission is coming on to
New York and hoist the worlds pen
nant over the Polo ground.

which the worlds series was conducted
this year, under the rules which were
first suggested by John T. Brush, the
president of the New York club, base
ball fan" of the metropolis have a
double interest in all that pertains to
The and all that preceded it.
Other National league owners than
those of this particular vicinity, both in
private n in public, have attested
their appreciation of the able n
in which Mr.. Brush's suggestion was
first offered to the major governing
bodies in baseball, anx unqualifiedly de-
clare that it was one of the best moves
which has been made for the interest Of
the national game in years
What it did was this: 1t eliminated
hat unfortunate attitude assumed by
the players in other years, when they
practically held up the club man
agements before they would agree to
take the field. The players knew when
the season of 1905 began what the terms
of playing for the worlds champion
ship We're and what was expected Of
