LOS ANGELES (Cal), November 2.
The villainless novel is to take its
place among the wonders of the mod

carriage, the wireless telegraphy and

by JESS T.. WOODS.

Some twenty years ago, an All-Ame-
rican baseball club sailed through the
Golden Gate on a tour that reached
practically around the world. This
club found it's way to Australia, thence
to Europe, and then home to the Unit
ed States. Had any one suggested TO
their management that they visit ia
pan, China, Philippines and Hawaii,
they would probably have thought the
suggestor next to insane.
Let us see what is happening today.
We must admit that this great game
of baseball is becoming the worlds
sport. One year ago Mike Fisher and
myself declared our intention of TAX
ing an All-American baseball club to
the above countries. OF course we
bore the brunt of suspicious, and many
thought we were not sincere. We had
learned that these places were base
ball mad, and therefore decided to pi-
lot this great aggregation across the
water and demonstrate to the natives
how this, our national game, is played
in its home.
1t was no small undertaking, and
needed the attention and thought that
only experienced men could give and
carry out 1t was found necessary
that some one should so in advance
Of the club and blaze the trail. This
lot fell to me- and that l was success
full is now a matter of history. To
write a detailed account of this visit
would require this book. Suffice it to
say that encouragement and hospital
ity met me on every side, and the
good people in these far-off lands did
all in their power to assist me. They
wanted to see Americas great ball
players, and they paved the way for
grand future over there for the great
est game that has ever been played in
any land.
This invasion marks a new epoch in
the history of sport. It proves that
those who few years ago were unac-
quainted with Occidental sports are
now keenly interested in our national
game.

WIFE OF ADMIRAL
IS HOME AGAIN
MRS. SWINBURNE RETURNS AS A
PASSENGER ON THE LINER
MANCHURIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2S.-Mrs.
w. j. Swinburne, wife of Admiral
Swinburne OF the Pacific fleet, return
ed yesterday on the liner Manchuria
from Honolulu, where she went to join
her husband when the fleet touched
at that place on its cruise to the South
seas. The Admirals wife expressed
herself as highly pleased with the
courtesy and hospitality of the people
of Hawaii.
When word was noised about the
big liner that MRS. Swinburne was on
board there were many side glances
cast at the Admiral's wife, but. it is
said, she held aloof and chose a few
particular companions Tor the voyage.
To these it was intimated that she
would be granted the courtesies of the
port, that she would be taken ashore
in government boat with her baggage
and not subjected to the two-hour GUS
toms inspection at the dock.
Along came the cutter Golden Gate,
the commanding officer armed with in
structions from the Collector of the
Port to extend to George w. Reed, an
Oakland attorney, who has been exc
cutting a Federal Commission in the
Far East, the courtesies of the port.
There were no orders regarding the
reception of Mrs. Swinburne.
The Admirals wife was at the side
when Reed and his baggage were be-
ing taken aboard the Golden Gate, and
this seemed to be good chance to get
ashore, and, it is said, Mrs. Swinburne
informed Reed that she was the wife
of an Admiral and had business of i'm
portance which necessitated her getting
ashore without delay. The Commits
sioner, it seems, happened to b cone of
those on board VINO had been neglected
by the Admiral's wife and to her re-
quest he replied that he had no au-
thority to grant it.
81 am sorry, madam, but this is a
Government vessel, and not my private
yacht" Reed is said to have murmured
as he skipped down the Jacobs ladder
to the Golden Gate, leaving the Ad-
mirals wife to get ashore in the GUS
tomary way
Mrs. Swinburne left here on the
Manchuria August 25th and met the
fleet at sea near the islands. Captain
Saunders steamed the liner down
through the column of battleships,
close enough to the flagship for Ad-
miral and Mrs. Swinburne to exchange
greetings.
AS the Pacific fleet is now on it's way
from Pago-Pago to Magdalena bay and
is scheduled to leave that place De-
cember LIST for South America, Mrs
Swinburne intends to stay at Coronado

COLLEGE SUCCESS

Agricultural colleges generally had
their beginning in the bill introduced
by Senator Morrill, of Vermont. in
1862, which some time later was
enacted into law, providing that lands
be set aside by the government as they
had been for the construction of the
Pacific railroads, from the proceeds Of
the sale of which schools should be
established for agricultural instruc-
ton. 1t is interesting to note that in
this same year, when most of the white
menfolk were away on Southern bat
tle-felds the Sioux Indians of the
State of Minnesota uprose and massa-
cred some eight hundred of the from
tier settlers, and in the white mans
reprisal thirty-eight of the leaders
were hanged on single scaffold in
the town of Mankato. So it may rea-
Oily be believed farming at that time
had not been reduced 20 pedagogic
form, and little was done in any of
the States for years, except to provide
a few lectures on bucolic subjects, for
the purpose of hanging on to the APP
preparation When at last President
Farwell organized real course of in
struction, according to the lights OF
the time, it was impossible to secure
any student to pursue it, even by dint
of bribery, which the worthy praeses
industriously tried.
Book farming was secuted and ridi-
culed by every old-fashioned or 'prac-
teal" farmer, as it is in the "way
| back districts in many States even
to this day. If boy wanted to be a
lawyer or a doctor, or even a parson
there was some excuse for his vast
ing time in studying books, but farm
in was "farmin'," and it wasn't to
be learned in a school. Times have
changed since then. The teachers
themselves have learned something
Many secrets have been unlocked re-
