Vitality of Alfalfa Seed.

A remarkable test of the vitality of
alfalfa seed is reported in Bulletin No.
ITO OF the Colorado Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. 1t is generally con-
sidered that seed must be perfectly
new in order to come up freely. In
Bulletin No. 35 of the experiment sta
tion some tests were given of seeds
ranging from one to six years old. DR..
Headden has retained samples of the
same seed and tests have been again
made when the seed has been from
eleven to sixteen years old. and the
tests have shown that from eighty
eight to mnety-six per cent. germin-
ated. The screenings showed less W.
tality. the first quality of screening
running from fifty to seventy-nine ana
one-half per cent; second quality,
thirty-eight per cent. and third quail
ity, forty per cent.

We are told that NJ. II. De Young,
proprietor of the San Francisco Chron-

the recent disaster-and perhaps the
most cheerful and optimistic. While
he was reviewing the scattered ashes
and damaged remains of his extensive
holdings friend stepped up and said
oompassionately: "Cheer up. 1t will
lbe all right" Mr. De Young turned
quickly and replied: Il don't know
iabout that. Why l." There were
many who lost their fortunes" said
lthe friend, but they Will get them
back again." At this Mr.. De Young
became impatient. That's not what's

Not the least touching thing in con-
nection with the San Francisco ca
lamity is the character of many of the
contributors to the relief fund. Some
very large contributions have been
recorded, and some as small as five
cents. AS one reads the lists in the
daily papers. he finds walters and bell
boys In the hotels. street car con-
ductors and motormen, Office boys,
shopgirls and many others whose
earnings are small and whose needs
usually are great. 1t is such givers
as these who show how widespread is
the sympathy and how universal is
the generosity OF the country toward
the capital of the western coast.

GOVERNOR PARDEE sKIDoos.
Leaves Sacramento Before Rally and
Some Say He Is Sulking.

SACRAMENTO, Oct 5.-Governor
Pardee left this city today for Oakland
and was not present at the rally for
Gillett tonight. An evening paper de-
clared that the chief executive hastened
away to avoid appearing at the demon
stration. The action of the Governor
was the talk of the streets tonight
but whether it was intended as an act
of hostility or not, Gilletts reception
in the city was not affected apparently
for there was plenty of enthusiasm
over his candidacy.
Early in the week Pardee was asked
to preside over the meeting, but his
of-town engagement some time before
tend. The Lieutenant Governor was
honor. and he accepted.
The Governors friends are explain
ing that he hurried to the bedside OF
his intimate friend. Senator R. G
Lukens. who lies in a critical condition
in an Oakland hospital as the result OF
an automobile accident, and that his
sympathy for the injured friend took
precedence with him over the i'm.
portance of the campaign.
Many people believe that the Governor
purposely avoided participation in the
meeting and those who are displeased
describe it as "sulking." However that
may be, his adjutant general, j. B
Lauck, was one of those prominent in
the ranks of the Roosevelt Club and
his voice was loud>in the shouting for
Gillett.

Rich Vestn1ent Is
Destroyed by
Flames.

Fire partially destroyed the parson-
age of Sacred Heart Church, Fillmore
and Fell streets, shortly after s
O'Clock yesterday morning, and but for
the efforts OF Father William Hughes,
young priest attached to the parish.
the flames Nigh. have claimed as vic
tins Father J. B. McQuaide. the pastor
his aged mother and Father r. w
Cleary. Father Hughes had a close
call himself after he had heroieally
aroused the last of the sleeping per-
sons in the burning building. To save
his life he jumped through a mass of
smoke and flames. over a banister. q
distance of twenty feet TO the floor be-
low. He escaped practically uninJured.
The church, which adjoins tho
priests house was not damaged by the
flames. The damage TO the residence
is estimated at $4,000. partly covered by
insurance. A handsome cope. -s<chly
embroidered with gold, presented to
the church by the late Father Lagan.
was destroyed. The vestment was
WON at the ceremony of the benedic-
tion OF the sacrament and was valued
at $1,000.
The fire started in a servants room
on the second floor. from lamp which
the woman left burning. At o'clock
Father Comerford and DR.. Brennan de-
tected the odor of smoke in the build
ing and made & cursory, examination of
the premises, but could find no trace of
fire. Later Father Hughes passed from
mis- room and Immediately discovered
that the building was afire.
In the rear of the building were the
apartments of Father McQuaide and his
mother, who is in her sixty-sixth year.
The young priest aroused them.
Father MeQuaide had to bear his
mother in his arms from the house to
the area, the stairways being enveloped
In smoke. In the rear of the parish
house Brother Lewis and seven Chris
tian brothers of Sacred Heart College
lived and these were awakened by
Father Hughes and easily escaped.
In the front of the building was the
room occupied by Father Cleary, who
has been in delicate health for some
months. Between that apartment and
the rear, where Father Hughes had
made his way, was an impenetrable
mass of flame. The priest ran to the
front door of the building and went
into the house again, making his way
through the smoke to Father Cleary's
room on the second floor. The latter
did not dare venture into the smoking
hallway. but went into a room which
the fire had not yet reached and was
later rescued from the second-story
window by firemen.
nen ne knew mat all the inmates
of the house were out of danger,
Father Hughes looked to his own safe
ty. The stairs were impossible, so the
priest sprang into the smoke, over tho
balcony railing and landed twenty feet
below. fortunately unhurt, beyond a
slight bruise on his leg.
There are many large wooden build
ings In the immediate neighborhood of
the church and the Fire Department

yond it's control. Three alarms were
sent in. lie fire was confined to lie
building in which it started. however.
The priests are now ouartered at 726

that President Gompers of the Fedora

favor of warship builders on this coast,
of his efforts in behalf of the employ

the irrigation projects, assist the rail-

ability to live up to contract require

The program as scheduled was fol-.
lowed as far as possible but owing
unforeseen circumstances Hon. Coe

the meeting, could not be present
but r. M. Slocum of Herreid read
the address. The exercises at the

to the high wind which blew all day
it was hard to understand what was
being said. In the afternoon the
two ball games drew the crowd.
The game between Pollock and
Mound City was rather one sided
score 2 to 13 in favor of the latter.
The game between Eurekaand Selby
was more hotly contested and re-
suited in a score Of Z to ) in favor of
Eureka. To Parkhurst, who threw
the game for Eureka, the credit of
winning the game is due. The con-
cert in the evening.was rendered by
the band in the usual credltable
manner. At the dance in the even
