By JAMES A. EDGERTON.


"HR HE Battle Hymn Of the Repub
public" will ever remain one of
the noblest songs sung by ma
ton. In it are combined the
highest sentiments Of the heart-love
of country. religion, liberty and the
militant spirit of righteousness. On
like many popular songs. whose words
are little more than doggerel, ''The Bat
tie Hymn" is poetry. Its words are
peculiarly apt and filed with the spirit
Of the crucial hour that brought them
forth. Even its music belongs peculiar
~ to the civil war period, its air, John
Browns Body" having been favorite
In the northern armies. 'The Battle
Hymn" sounds with the tramp Of
marching feet 1t has Puritan fervor
and devotion. It is crusaders chant,
a song to the god Of battles.
Julia Ward Howe, the author Of this
American 'Marseillaise, will be ninety
years old on May q, which has caused
everybody that has written about her
very ungallantly to call her "the grand
old woman" Of America. Grand old
men may be all right, although that
phrase is widowed. but to talk OF
grand old women is carrying the an
tique idea too far. Mrs. Howe may
have lived on the earth ninety years,
but she is not old. In her principles
and sympathies she is young, is abreast
Of the best thought Of the day, is pro-
gressive, loves the new light, is in
tune with the music Of the present and
hears the call Of the future. Such

nous novelist. She has been an intimate
friend of nearly all the great writers
on both sides Of the Atlantic during
the last seventy years. OF them all
she regards Emerson as the greatest,
a verdict which in itself reveals her
spirituality and advancement.
Three events in the career Of Mrs.
Howe are typical and Illuminating.
The first occurred in 1861 in the city
with her husband. who did much to
aid the Union in its struggle for life.
On arriving in the city the tender sus-
capabilities Of her nature were
wrought upon by the sight Of the army
ana the long lines of camps. She had
known John Brown in life, and, being
an accomplished singer, something
wrought upon her while passing the
marching columns to pour forth in her
rich contralto voice the air of "John
Browns Body" The soldiers took it
up, and soon it was rolling along the
ranks. A friend was so touched by
the incident that he asked Mrs. Howe
to write more worthy words to the
music, and she promised to do so. A
morning or two later she arose while
it was still dark with ''The Battle
Hymn of the Republic" forming itself
in her mind and then and there, with
no light but the gray drawn, wrote it
practically as it stands today.
The second incident occurred years
later in Constantinople. Mrs. Howe
had lectured in one of the American
colleges near the city and as she was
driven down the great hill on which
the college stood was suddenly trans
fixed to hear her own song waited
after her in her journey, an event with
all the more poetic significance since
the late democratic uprising in Turkey.
The third event occurred in Boston
1T the time the Italian societies were
celebrating the discovery Of America
by Columbus. They were electrified TO
have a sweet faced and white haired
American woman arise and address
them in their own tongue. 1t was
Julia Ward Howe, at home in all lands
and devoted to all causes that mean
the hetterment of the race.

Decoration Day.

Camposantos. sacred field,
Sanctified by pain and death,
Quietly we bow oul head
And with tears our eyes are filled.
From our hearts silent prayer,
As we gaze upon the sod,
AS we think of heav'n and God
Of the home, the empty chair.
From our lips a tender name:
Mother, father, darling sweet
Thousand tender mem ries meet
Now to comfort, now to shame.
Oh, how oft for lack Of love,
Or in cruel thoughtlessness
Caused we stuff ring and distress
Which we never could remove.
While we sadly sigh and pray,
While we decorate their sod
In the face of death and God
Hoping for immortal day:
Let Us turn with brighter face,
With kind and loving heart
To world oft cold and hard,
Bearing with as cheer and grace.
In life's rough and thorny ways,
In the dark and cherries hours
Pick loves ever fragrant flowers,
Keep your decoration days.

and, as for laws, they were by men, of
men and for men. Today, thanks to
her efforts and those of her colleagues,
the land is dotted with women's col
leges, several states already have suf-
frage, and the supporters Of this move
ment are now making more noise in
the world than anybody else, the rights
of the sex are being more fully recog-
nized In the laws, and the new woman
is capturing the world. The woman's
club has come to stay, and man, proud
man, dressed not in a little brief au-
hority, but in an apron, is staying
home, washing the dishes and minding
the baby. No wonder Mrs. Howe is
an optimist; no wonder she has lived
so long, just to enjoy the novel sensa-
ton. Any one who has Unanswered
the lord Of creation into a position
where he is yelling for mercy, as at
present, is entitled to take a roseate
view and to live to be hundred.
Fame Runs In the Family.
Julia Ward Howe was born in New
York city. Her father was banker
and grandson Of two colonial govern
ors Of Rhode Island. Her brother was
Sam Ward, who was well known
half century ago. In fact, Mrs. Howe
is related to so many distinguished
people that her family tree looks like
a leaf torn out Of biographical die
tionary. Two Of her daughters, Laura
n Richards and Maud HOUn Elliott
are popular writer's; her son is pro-
fessor in Columbia; her nephew, the
late F.. Marion Crawford, was q IA

His Match with Stanley

PARIS, May 22.--Joe jeanette, the
New York negro heavyweight, was
awarded the decision over Sandy Fer
guson of Boston at the end of the
twentieth round.
Much depended on the outcome of
the fight between Sandy Ferguson, the
big Boston slugger, and Joe Jeanette.
The winner will be challenged by Sam
Langford, who expects to whip Ian
Hague, the British heavyweight cham
pion, in London next week.
An offer has been made to Jack
Johnson of a $4,000 purse if he will
agree to a finish fight with the winner
of tonight's mill, but New York sport
ing men do not believe that Johnson
will take on anyone before he fights
Ketchel in the fall. Johnson is due in
London and it is considered probable
that Langford and Jeanette will be
hard after him for a match.
Following the Johnson-OBrien fight

gro champion. OBrlen is quoted as
saying that Ketchel will have a COM
paratively easy time with Johnson,
and as O'Brien has fought them both
his opinion is looked upon as high au-
thority.

OXY ALUMNUS WILL
RETURN TO TRIANGLE
Hagerman to Leave Kansas University
Y. M. c. A. to Take Up Work
of Coaching Local
Organization

j. p. Hagerman, graduate of Occi-
dental college, we'll known in Southern
California athletics, is expected to re-
turn to Los Angeles soon to take charge
of the Triangle club of the Y. NJ. c. A.
The Triangle club is one of the most
important branches of athletics, and a
large membership has been enrolled
consisting of boys ranging in age from
16 to II years. Hagerman now holds a
position at the Y. M. C. A. of Kansas
university and is expected to arrive in
Los Angeles the second week in June
to assume charge of the Los Angeles
department.
Hagerman made a good record in
track events under the association col
ors during the years 1905 and 1906 when
OXy won the conference meet. In 1901
Hagerman won the coast championship
in the broad jump at Berkeley against
seventeen competitors, and was chosen
as one of the three to represent the
Pacific slope at the st. Louis worlds
fair. He also was a member of the
Los Angeles Y. M. c. A. track team
which took second place in the St
Louis international championship con-
tests.
After graduating from Occidental col
lege Hagerman represented the Los
Angeles Athletic club at London, Eng
land, in the broad jump for the worlds
championship, and won second place,
being defeated by P. O'Connor.

The visitors apparently won the game

In the last half hits by Carney and
Kuhn, Hallinans wild heave and the

Finish Meeting with Cauca.
sian, George SantelI

Following the announcement that a
jim jitsu match is planned for Maud
Junction a week from tonight, the local
Jap colony woke up, and inquiries have
been pouring in, couched in unintelll-
gible terms, probably asking for in
formation concerning the bout, though
the sporting department, not being
versed in Esperanto, cannot declare
positively the trend of the questions.
The match between the Jap cham
pion Yokoyama, and the American,
George Santell, however, has attracted
considerable interest among the Amerl-
can followers of ring sports. Those
who have seen these matches cannot
forget the bitterness with which they
are waged, and the struggle to finish
between Yokoyama and Santell is
bound to bring out a gathering of those
who pine for bone-breaking stunts.
Yokoyama has sent to San Francisco
for his mat. and when it is received he
will take up his quarters daily IN the
Maud arena and VIII tram there Ior the
Sunday night affair
The promoters of tho program have
arranged for four other bouts in addi-
ton to the main event. The first VIII

the third another jiu jitsu affair, and
the fourth a catch as-catch-can meet
inc. The first and third are between
Jams and in the second and fourth
events white contestants will appear
In the list of YokOyama's victories
are several sturdy men, and the Jap
has never suffered a setback in this
country. Among his victims arc Nc

in san Francisco Young Americus,
