The postponed Gaelic games which were | to have taken place last Sunday at Central | Park will be carried out to-day rain or | shine. The managers state that the grounds | are in excellent condition and a great day’s athletic sport is promised to all those who attend. The football teams will line up at 1 o'clock sharp and a most stub- { born contest may be expected, as the players have been practicing daily for this event in Gaelic football, which will be the st of the series of games for this season. It can be taken for granted that the Gaelic tournament will be well worth see- { ing, as the most promising athletes from i all parts of the State will be on hand to contest for the valuable prizes at stake. - YOUR MAIL BY WIRE. A Chicago Man Proposes to Send Mail Bags Over the Tops of Buildings. Think of the mails being shot at almost ! lightning speed over the roofs of Chicago! That’s what Richard E. Sherman says can be done, and Postmaster Hesing is his convert. If the weather ever moderates, Mr. Hesing and Mr. Sherman expect to convince skeptics within two weeks. Ifthe experiment to be tried proves a success the »ossibilities of the scheme will be large in the direction of improvement in city and ! suburoan mail collection and delivery and the transportation of mails to and from the postofiice to the railway stations. Itis with- in the scope of possibilities, Postmaster Hesing says, that all the mail wagon service may be abandoned and overhead electric carriers substituted. The scheme is the in- vention of Richard E. Sherman, a Chicago electrician. His plan is to carry mails through the air over thie tops of buildings by means of electric cars traveling ona wire cable. The inventor says he has dis- covered & new principle of harnessing the electric current without the use of a return | wire. He declines to explain the pecu- liarity of his motor, which, he says, away with the necessity of a return wire or | storage batteries. He has succeeded in convincing the postai authorities that his ! plan is practical, and all is ready to put the experimental line in operation as soon as the weather moderates enough to permit | its construction. | Mr. Sherman’s description of his com- bined motor and carrier 1s as follows: ““The whole arrangement weighs thirty- two pounds. The motor alone weighs ieighteen pounds and its strength is one- fourth horse-power as proved by actual tests. It is the strongest motor of its ! weight ever constructed. This part of the machine is the valuable pert. It will be operated by a single wire without a return circuit. 1 have applied for patents in all foreign countries, and will keep the secret of its construction until the patents are all secured. All parts of the carrier, except the motors, are made of aluminum. The cars are detachable from the frame, and can be taken out and changed in ten seconds. of 20 per cent. The speed is regulated be- fore the carrier is started on its trip by a simple attachment. It will run no faster down grade than up. It cannot jump off the wire even if at a speed of 100 miles an hour. It runs on a four-inch sheave wheel | ‘with deep flanges. The wheel is furnished with ball bearings. The power required to operate the carriers at a speed of sixty miles an hour is exactly the same as is re- quired to run an ordinary arelight. A | current of 110 volts is used. A heavier ca- ble is used than is necessary to sustain the | weight as a matter of safety.” | ———— 1 The Fear of Death. | The fear of death in the abstract is a natural instinct, and, being’ natural, is | doubtless & wholesome’ one. And this be- |ing so, a constant realization of it is | scarcely to be desired. It is, much to be que: ned whether, to use the imagery of { the hymn, the man to whose conscious- | ness it was continually present that his | tent was nightly pitched a day's march nearer to his grave would be a useful cam- paigner. But in point of fact there is no danger that it will be so. The story is told | of a priest who, under sentence of death in | days when the penalty was more common n now, obtained the privilege of preach- ing to his fellow-convicts in like case. It is a scene which is repeated in a thousand different places every Sunday morning, | but it is 100 to 1 that the situation does not strike either preacher or people unpleas- antly, and you will find each going home | special exemption in" his pocket.

An s0 with death. Formidable as it appears | from a distance, the more one looks into | the subject the more certain it becomes that mankind, when brought to a practical | acquaintance with it, have agreed in some | blind way to recognize in the enemy whose | approaches they have been so unremitting in their efforts to ward off something alto- | gether different from the terrible and hos- | tile force which they have been accustomed to consider it. “We fall on guard, and, after all, it is a friend who comes to meet us.”—The Nineteenth Century. .

LONDON, March 23.—Barring accident orachange in the programme the fifty- second boatrace between crews represent- ing the pupils of Oxford and Cambridge will be decided on the Thames, over the usual course from Putney Bridge to Ship Inn at Mortlake, a distance of four and a quarter miles, on Saturday next. The greatest interest is taken in boating circles in the coming of the Cornell crew to compete at the Henley regatta with Eneland’s crack oarsmen, and the ‘“‘points™ of the Americans are being eagerly dis- cussed. They may be certain of a warm welcome among the oarsmen here. There is another feature of international sports which is attracting considerable at- tention here, and that is the prospects of the American horses npw train- ing at Newmarket. Naturally very few, if —any, inside points' are to be obtained by outsiders, but-it is under- stood the Americans are pretty confident of getting a share of the good things dur- ing the coming season, although the weather has interfered considerably with the work of the trainers. THE OFFER®RESCINDED. Mexican Authorities Cause the Carroll- McAuliffe Fight to Drop. CITY OF MEXICO, March 23. — The Mexican National Athletic Club recently agreed to hang up a purse of $6000 for the Carroll-McAuliffe contest for the light- weight championship which they both ac- cepted. The club has now been notified by the Federal authorities that they cannot bring off a prize fight or glove contest to a finish in the Federal district.

It was Pythagoras who said that a man’s wealth was determined rather by the num- | ber of his wants than the amount of his | property, and he who could reduce his | wants most had most. There is a school of practical Pythagorans across the bay in | Berkeley; they are not conscious dis iples | of the great Greek, but they have reduced | | their wants to near the absolute minimum | and spend no more in a year to satisfy all | their needs than many a dudish clerk puts | into ties &and cigarettes. | These are the young men who are not | sent to college, but go; who depend only | on their will and wit to support them. Each of these young men has a constant problem before him—how to make a little | money and to make that little do the work of a good deal. At Berkeley there are | some fifty or sixty men working at the solution of this problem. One of them was hoeing weeds the other day in the | | botanical gardens. Every morning and | afternoon for a couple of weeks he had been hoeing weeds. He earned 20 cents in an hour. “Are you not spending a great deal of time at work?” was asked. | | “Well, the weeds are plentiful and after | a while they will be gone and there won't ! be as much chance for work.” | | " Mr. Rubottom, the student addressed, is | a soghomore, and he was asked if he found | it a hard struggle to keep at the university. ““When I came here,” he replied, ““I had $50 in my pocket and that had to last me, | I paid for my room: the first year by caring | for Professor Rising’s cow. Then I got one meal a day for milking another cow. My $50 did the rest for the year. ButIam glad that time is past. Now I canearn! enough this way in a few days to pay my | expenses for a couple of months. You see, alot of us got together—eight of us—and rented a flat for $18. It did not cost much | to furnish our rooms, for we weren’t buy- | ing for artistic effect. Then we divided into shifts for cooking, dish-washing and bed-making and sweeping, two working ! together for a week on each shift. ‘It takes us about an hour a day apiece to do the work. Oh, the cost. ell, last year we averaged $7 a month apiece; this covered rent and all living expenses. It does not cost us any more this year. Some of the fellows in the Poverty Club, as we call it, were paying $20 and $25 a month for living, but prefer to live this way and save their money. Then some of wus,” said Rubottom with a grim smile, “‘aren’t given our choice. No, we don’t stint ourselves. We get what we want. This morning we had rolled-oats mush, milk and some firied fruit. That is our usual breakfast. At noon, we don’t bother much about the meal—some bread and butter and fruit. But at night—well, last night our cooks ave us roast beef, baked potatoes, tea and goiled rice.” So the Poverty Club has | lur;wd the economy of co-operation, that | is plain. | There are some hali-dozen of these co- o[»erntive clubs now in existence. One of them is much like the Greek letter societies, hiring a couple of Japanese and of course paying proportionately; but the Southwark Athletic Club, and, while no | others are seeking to reduce the cost of living to the barest necessary expense. - Some of the struggling fellows have not vet learned to co-operate, or for some reason or other are compelled to eke out an existence over an oil stove. A bowl of hastily boiled mush, often without milk, furnishes the first meal of the day, with the long hours of study broken only by a couple of slices of bread, sometimes made more palatable by a dish of dried fruit or some apples or dates. The one grand attempt of the day is left to the last meal, the respite between the day’s night’s study. 2 ne of the men of this class explained his method of living: “I get 10 cents’ worth of the rougher cut of meat, which will last me for three dinners. make some tea or coffee and, if I care to take the time, boil some rice or potatoes, and, with a livtle bread, make a dinner that is my mainstay for the next twenty-four hours. This costs me about seven cents. M other two meals aie not elaborate. .Mus| and bread—valued at perhaps six cents altogether, counting the oil that cooks the mush and the sugar that sweetens it. Ex- cept the oil for my stove I sfend nothing on fuel. When I get cold I put on my overcoat and wrap & blanket about my feet, orelse go to bed to ‘dig.” My room’ costs me nothing, as the university allows us this cottage free. 1 s;:,nd about $5a month on my living, as much more on incidentals and clothes, and an equal sum, on an average, for my books.” Spiro Sargentich is the Ylucky young Servian who entered last fall. He had $15 when he got to Berkeley last May. Through the summer the sum total of his income was $5 a month. Apero had to buy out of this some books. Once he did not have even food for two days. But he studied on, and when the time came passed all his ex- aminations, Spiro was asked how he fared. I geton very well now,”’ he said. “I teach two boys, and get nice food and very nice room. I teach the flute in Oakland, and I ietalime money. God helps me much. efore 1 get this }Elnce I have $6 every month from pupils I teach the flute. I pay $3 for my room. I have $3 besides, but I did not care to eat much—some bread every day twice; sometimes I buy a little piefie of meat. But now L get on very well.” There is a Students’ Aid Society, which records all applicants for work, with the kind of work they can do. Aschances for work are sent to the society its manager is supposed to give the employment to the most capable and deserving applicant. Type-writing, stenography, copying, cleri- cal work, manual labor, tutoring, positions in families—all these are secured for stu- dents. A board of directors, Professor W. B. Rising, Mi Lucy Williams, '96, and M. S. Baker, '95, have the society in charge. Students earn in this way—some their board and lodging, or for manual labor about the university 20 cents an hour; for tutoring 50 cents to $2 an hour. Asarule the poor student is at the disadvantage of being an unskilled workman. One stout young fellow, who is now reading law, earned in the harvest- field each summer by domg skilled work, to carry him through the year, $150.« This young man wore the same coat for four years,and was one of the best liked fellows in college. The Aid Society does not help any one directly, but enables students to hel tHemselves'by placing Bh& in toah Rith available work. It says fo students who | are holding back from attendance at the | university for financial reasons: “Our ex- perience has been that students cannot | depend upon getting much employment | (save in the line of housework) until they | are somewhat acquainted. Hence, we can not advise any one to come here without | sufficient means for the first year, or at | least the first term. 1f you h: no more than that, but are confident of your pluck, the society bids you come, by all means.’’ Many women lents find work to do in families, getting in return board and lodg- ing. The secretary of the society states that the experience up to the present time | indicates that any girl ‘willing to aid in housework can find a position without being relegated to the class of servants REALLY MUST, YOU KNOW.- ““We of Society”” Cannot Keep in With Those Who Have Lost Money.

New York is really so large and names accumulate. One must weed every y It is sometimes very hard to know how to do this weeding, and there are times when a little sentiment has to be consid- ered.

I am very fond of them. 1 have had some very nice little dinners in their house, and De Jones kept an excellent cook.

But I cannot go to Flushing—where the; have taken a house for the winter. It would be very sentimental for me to do so, but most impraetical, you know.

Otherwise they should vanish beyond the horizon, and onl; up serenely when times are better unx they bave repaired their misfortunes.

PoST SHOWS THE RE- LATION OF WEALTH TO LABOR AND LAND. ILLUSTRATED BY CHARTS. THE SOURCE OF THINGS THAT SaTisFry HUMAN WANT CLEARLY DEFINED. There was a large attendance at Hamil- ton Hall, Oakland, last night to listen to the lecture of Louis F. Post of New York on the subject of ““Single Tax; Land Value the True Busis of Public Revenue.” Mr. Post arrived from Visalia on an afternoon train, and was met at the Six- teenth-street depot by a number of disci- ples of the cause. He spoke at Visalia last night. On Monday evening he will lecture at Metropolitan Hall, San Francisco, and on Tuesday he will go to Santa Rosa. Congressman James G. Maguire presided at the meeting last night and delivered the introductory address. His remarks were well received. Mr. Post was accorded an ovation. His lecture was an illustration of the fact that labor and land were the sole factors of all wealth. He presented a series of charts analyzing a loaf of bread, by which,through materials and tools used, the food was finally reduced down to labor and land. ““In illustration of the source of wealth,” said Mr. Post, ‘‘the first demand upon us is to make sure that we know the source of the things that satisfy want. Butit is uite unnecessary to specify these and trace them to their origin in detail. In search- ing for the source of one we shall discover the source of all. ‘‘As acommon object of this kind, the roduction of whichis a familiar process, gread is probably the best example for our process. Let us then carefully trace bread “In the union of labor with land we discoverthe ultimatesource of wealth,” said thelecturer. [Sketched by a “ Call” artist.] to its source. To make the results of our work clear to the eye as well as to the ear we will construct & chart as we proceed. The chart should begin with a classific: tion of bread with reference to man, for it | is as an object for satisfying the wants of man that we consider bread at all. Is bread 2 part of the personality of man, or is it an object external to him? That is our first question. The answer is so obvi- ous that a child could make no mistake. Bread is external to man. It should there- fore be classified with what, for brevity, we will call ‘external objects.” It isalso a product having certain constituents. ‘Let fis so arrange the chart as to indi- cate these facts and also to provide a place for particularizing the constituents of as we ascertain them. Insert the necessary constituents of bread in the chart as follows: A baker ma; Alototland— Artificial o External Objects . read. tvenu Natural External Objects Artificial ‘Externnl Objects Salt. Water. J “In respect to man the constituents of bread all fall into two general classes: Man, the objects that are external to him, or, briefly, "external objects. While all these external objects are alike in the one “In searching for the source of one of the objects that satisfy human wants ‘we have discovered the source of all,” declared the orator. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] particular, that they are external to man, some of them may differ from others in respects which, for clear thinking, must be designated. Compare first two external objects—the lot of land and the oven—and a radical difference at_once appears. The lot of land is a natural object. The oven is an artificial object.- The lot exists inde- pendently of man’sart; the oven can have no existence whatever as an oven but for man’s art. And when the remaining exter- nal objects are considered the same differ- ence appears. All of them, bread in- cluded, differ from the lot of land precisely as the oven does; they are artificial. ‘““At this point we find all essential dii- ferences distinguishea. Every factor of industry and every material object of de- sire that can be imagined falls into one or another of the four classes of the chart. And from mere inspection of the chart we ‘‘Wealth is produced solely by the ap- Post. [Sketched by a *“ Call” artist.] may see, what was promised when we be- gan its constraction, that in searching for he source of one of the objects that satisfy human wants we have discoyered the source of all. For it is self-evident that the material wants of men are satisfied in no other way than by the consumption of finished artificial ~ objects, technically termed wealth; and the chart shows that such objects have their source in a combi- nation of the three ““factors,” namely: (1) The activities of man, technically termed labor; (2) natural objects external to man, technicallicermed land; and (3) unfinished arltificinlo jects, technically termed capi- tal. ‘‘But while these three factors combined produce all the material objects that tend to_satisfy human wants, they do not con- stitute the ultimate source of those objects. Our analysis is not yet ended; our chart is still incomplete. Reflection assures us that all artificial objects, finished and un- finished, resolve upon final analysis into the two factors, the activities of man and natural external objects; or, in technical language, all wealth, finished and unfin- ished, resolves upon final analysis into labor and land. ‘‘Therefore, capital is in final analysis eliminated as a factor of production. It expresses nothing which the two remain- ing factors do not imply, for it is by the conjunction of these two Iactors that capi- tal “itself is produced. Unfinished arti- ficial objects and their mechanical term, capital, should therefore be erased from the chart. “Thus all artificial objects external to man—wealth—are found to have their ulti- mate source in the conjunction of man’s activities—labor—with naturaijobjects ex- ternal to man—land. *‘Finally, by dropping the cumbrous lan- guage altogether and using only the tech- nical terms we complete our chart.”” Thus: Product. Factors. LABOR. WEALTH. LAND. “The chart may be read as follows: “Wealth is produced solely by the appli- cation of labor to land. ““This is the final analysis. In the union of labor, which includes all human effort, with land, which includes the whole mate- rial universe outside of man, we discover the ultimate source of wealth, which in- cludes all the material things that satisfy want. And that is the first great truth gp?]?'“m‘:h the single tax philosophy is uilt.”” ROOM FOR ALL. These Big United States Would Sustain a Vast Population. Have you any idea of the number of per- sons that the United States would sustain without overcrowding the population, or even going beyond the limit of density now shown by the State of Rhode Island? The last census of the pigmy State just gives it a population of 800,000. The area of the State in square miles is only 1250; thus we find that there 1s an average of 319 persons on every square mile of her territory. We can best ihustrate the sustaining capacity of the whole of the United States and of the other States by making some comparisons: The State of Texas has an area of 265780 square miles, and were it equally as densely popu- lated as “Little Rhody,” would comfort- ably sustain a population of 83,523,628 in- habitants, a greater number of persons than the whole country is expected to have in the year 1900. Scatter pcople all over the whole land from the Atlanticto the Pacific, and from the gulf to the British fiossessions as thickly as they are now in hode Island, and we would have 945,766, - 3800 inhabitants, instead of an_insignificant 62,000,000. In other words, if the United States could be peopled to their utmost sustaining capacity, we could take care of nearly two-thirdsof the fil;esent population of the globe.—St. Louis Republican.

After April 1 the $25 Rate for Curing Rupture Will Be Withdrawn. In announcing & rate of $25 for a radical cure of Rupture, Dr. C. Z, Ellis intended that it should be for a limited time only, and pro- posed withdrawing the rate on March 1. Since that date Dr. Ellis has had many inquiries from persons suffering from Rupture, who state that it was not possible for them to take advantage of the low rate before its with- drawal and requesting an extension of the time. Dr. Fllis does not want to show any favoritism in extending the time, but to allow all an equal opportunity will continue the $25 rate until April 1. It must be distinctly under- stood, however, that it will positively be dis- continued on and after that date. $25 FOR A CURE. Names of patients cured will be fur- nished on application. C. Z. ELLIS.
