Y. N. c. A. RECEPTION
WAS WELL ATTENDED

The opening of the educational and
athletic seasons at the Y. NJ. c. A.
was fttingly celebrated by an open
house reception last night. There was
music in the social hall, punch in one
of the smaller rooms, games of all kinds
and work in the gymnasium.
All evening long stream of visitors
passed in and out and the building
presented very gay and lively appear
ance. Shortly after eight o'clock DR..
Hand led class in the gymnasium and
added interest to the event by going
through regular routine instead of MAX
ing an exhibition. He introduced one
or two stunts that were new to the
gymnasts and instructed them exactly
as he would on an ordinary night with,
out spectators.
TIE building is now too small for the
rapidly growing membership and addi-
tional Glasses which have been insti-
tuted. The old social hall upstairs has
been transformed into class rooms by
temporary partitions and the present
social hall is smaller apartment down
stairs. The enrolment for educational
classes is very large and more than
two hundred students viii be in at
tendance for instruction in the various
scientific and commercial subjects.
DR.. Hand looks forward to very
successful athletic season. He is great
enthusiast on the subject of soccer
football and has already discussed the
matter of forming league with some
of the prominent local players. Tennis
will be another branch of sport to re-
ceive particular attention and there will
be a series for the single and double
championships.
Indoor baseball is another lively sport
that is played by the members and
some fast and exciting games will be
seen in the gymnasium when the series
starts. DR.. Hand has strong and cor
rect IDEAS on the subject of how series
of games should be played. He does
not believe in the elimination method
and, in all Y. NJ c. A. sports, every
team or every player meets every other
team or player in the series and the one
winning the most games is the cham
pion. This method is very equitable
and obviates luck almost entirely.

HOW 1BsEN WROTE GHOSTS. .

TITS said that when a dramatist
Constructs successful plays
His writing spirit leaves its home
And, guided by him, strays
Around the scenes of which he writes
This helps in many ways.
The wandering spirit fetches in
Descriptions of the best;
With tons of local coloring
Immune to any test,
The future and the past as well
Lie bare at his behest.
So. if a writer s spirit can
Outspeed all penny posts
And glide unseen o 'er all the world
Amongst ethereal hosts,
The wrath of Ibsen must have peen
Right here when he wrote fGhosts.

Decision of Commerce Com
mission Prohibiting Through
Rates Disastrous to Trade
With the Orient.

lBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire. I
San Francisco, july 29.-In con-
firming the story sent out from Chi
cago to the effect that the transconti-
mental railroads would on November /
practically go out of the export and
import trade with the Orient and Aus
tralia, r p Schwerin, general man
ager of the Pacific Mail, today de-
clared the result of such action would
prove most disastrous to the shipping
interests of the Pacific coast He
drew a dark picture of the future Of
the steamship lines on this coast and
said that because of the subsidies al
lowed by Japan to her shipping. the
business of the Pacific would naturally
fall into the hands of the japanese.
shippers have been notified by the
transcontinental railroads." said Mr..
Schwerin, that they will practically
go out of the export and import trade
with the Orient, Australia and New
Zealand on November /. This action
of the railroads Is the result, as we
understand it, of the decision of the
interstate commerce commission in
the matter of compelling the roads to
publish the inland proportion of the
export and import rates. The general
effect on the steamship lines will be
to compel those operating lines of Pa
cific coast ports and the Orient. Aus
tralia and New Zealand to abandon
the greater part of this trade. In
stead of coming to this coast and go-
ing east by rail, merchandise from
the Orient will be carried in foreign
bottoms to the Atlantic coast by way
Of the Suez canal. and that which is
left to come to this coast will be car
rled in Japanese bottoms.
THE steamship companies now do
Ing business on the Pacific from the
San Francisco, Seattle. Vancouver and
other ports with the Orient. Australia
and New Zealand can not accept the
water proportion of the old land and
water haul rate and continue to do
business. The Japanese only can do
business under these conditions be-
cause of the subsidies they receive
from the government.
THE outlook for shipping on the
Pacific coast is very gloomy l can not
say what the result will be. It is too
soon, of course, to make the broad
statement that the lines maintained by
the Hartman roads through this port
through Seattle and Vancouver will be
for sale to the highest bidder, but the
situation is very discouraging
