A little while longer and the game was ended, although the Butte men tried re- score. The Reliance backs wers playing close up to the line, when the unexpected hap- pened. Butte had just stopped Reliance up for the third time and got the ball on the 20-yard line. Reliance did not fear a kick, for Butte had not been very suc- cessful in kicking. Itwasa line-smashing drive that Reliance looked for. Big Hartzell had hurled through them too often to be forgotten in the crisis. The ball was snapped back, whisked to Gillis, who, starting as though he were fired from a cannon, cleaned Lanyon’s end and | sped up the field, skirting close to the | human fence that bent and curved forward | over the side lines. With one roaring burst of non-partisan admiration fthe crowd went wild—wiider | than it had been at any one of the brilliant | verformances of the home team, with which the great majority of the hundred: of spectators had shown their sympathie: The game merited all the praise that the the great exhibition. Men rushed along | the side lines telling each other that it was | weather prevented its being seen by more that spectators go about after and tell | their friends, ‘““You ought to have seen it. Wyckoff’s skiilful punts on several occ: sions liberated Reliance from a very | ticklish position. And every one of them were executed when the Butte men were | all but upon him. i For Butte, next to Gillis’ great run, | Hartzell’s unfailing plunges into the line wele a revelation to Caiifornians. Big Bert Oliver's excellent interference | for the backs made him the most notice- able guard on the field. But the mighty | Michigan tower, the pink-haired Hooper, | was always in evidence, shoving and hurl- g himself against the equally powerful | Smith, captain of the Olympics. | The Butte players came nbering on | to the field at a quarter past 2 o’clock like | a company of prize giants.

CHARGED WITH DRUNKENNESS. He Went on Duty in an Intoxicated Condition and Was Placed Un- der Arrest. A court-martial to inquire into the con- duct of Lieutenant P. J. Werlich of the United States ship Philadelphia will be held at Mare Island to-morrow. The court will be composed of Captain H. C. Coch- rane of the United States Marine Corps, judge advocate; members of the court, Captain T. F. Kane of the Monterey, Lieu- tenant-Commander E. W. Watson of the Ranger, Lieutenant T. 8. Phelps of the Philadelphia, Lieutenant J. B. Milton of the Monterey, Lieutenant C. Fox of the Philadelphia, Lieutenant W. E. Wilner of | the Philadelphia, Lieutenant F. E. Green | of the Ranger, Lieutenant W. R. Rooney | of the Monterey and one other officer of the Monterey. The Philadelphia arrived from Puget Sound ports at an early hour yesterday | morning. It did not take the news of the | lieutenant’s disgrace long to spread, and soon half of the water front was aware of the fact. Tihe sailors sided with their | officer and hoped he would be exonerated by the board. The breach of discipline was a flagrant one, however, and the other officers said that Admiral Beardsley was thoroughly indignant over the matter. At Port Townsend, Tacoma, Seattle and Olympia Werlich was reprimanded, but it did not do him any good apparently, as his fina! fall came later on. It appears that while the Philadelphia was at Seattle Lieutenant Werlich was given a ten days’ leave of absence. He had a jolly time ashore, and the night be- fore he was to report for duty his friends | gave him a dinner. The lieutenant looked | | upon the wine when 1t was red and he fell. | e drank heavily all night and in the | | morning tried to brace up on cucklnils.! | The experiment was a disastrous one, as | it made him worse than ever. Wken he | reached the warship he was in no condi- | tion to go on duty, but he madce the at- tempt and in consequence was arrested sm‘l c}mrged with being ‘‘drunk while on | Lieutenant-Commander R. R. Ingersoll was very loth to talk about the untortunate | affair. He did admit, however, that a | court-martial to try Werlich would con- | vene at Mare Island on Monday. As to| the merits of the case he would say noth- | ing but hoped that Werlich might be ex- | onerated. He denled emphatically a story cent style that has characterized her reck- | less backing of a sport into which the people of Montana have plunged heart and soul.

Gleam of Hope for the Cancer-Stricken, | Under this heading The Hospital prints | tbe following note: The conviction is | geining ground that cancer is a parasitic, | that is, a micrebial disease, like tubercu- | losis. If this should prove to be so the cure of several large classes of cancer cases is within sight. The results of operations dusing the past fifteen years certainly point in_ this direction. Speaking at the British Medical Association’s annual con- gress in July last, Jonathan Hutchinson made the assertion that cancer statistics would have to be rewritten, so large had been the proportion of cures within the last decade or two. But there are certain qnalifications in this otherwise satisfac- tory progress. The most important of these are that the cancers which have been ‘‘cured’’ on so considerable a scale have been on or near the external sur- face of the body, and they have been diagnosed and operated upon at very early stages of their growth. Cancers of internal organs, which are seldom diag- nosed very early and which cannot be reached by the surgeon’s knife, still pre- sent the same hopeless features as before. On the point of early diagnosis and opera- tion Dr. Roux of Lausanne has collected some important statistics. According to these, certain classes of cancer which offer reasonable hopes of cure if operated upon early, are lost in as many as 62 per cent of cases for the simple reason that they are brought to the operator a few months too late. In another class, still more favorable, 12 per cent seek operation when all hope is past, and as many as 50 er cent present themselves when it is too f’.le to do anything but palliative opera- tions, The moral for all persons is that in every case where the least suspicion of the presence of a new growth is enter- tained, medical advice should be sought without the loss of an hour; and (h_el urgent warning to family practitioners is that as soon as they are convinced of the presence of a new growth lhei s):ould take the operating surgeon into their councils without the delay of a day. —_— CLERKS WITHOUT PAY, The Election Commissioners Pre- paring for the Primary Election. President Denman Anxious for a De-| cision From the Supreme Court on His Status. Officials and politicians alike are anx- iously waiting for a decision from the Supreme Court on the Election Commis- sioners’ muddle. The case involving this 1ssue was finally submitted to the court on November 27, with the expectation that an early decision would Le handed down. The array of lawyers engaged in this case, comprising Delmas & Shortridge, who represent the Iroquois; Mahoney & McNab, the Non-Partisan party; ex-Judge Carpenter, the Union League, or Republi- can party, and Garret McEnerney, the old commission, had exhausted all the author- ities in their endeavor to convince the court that each side had a winning fight. In the meantime, the present Commis- sioners have held office, and are making arrangements for the carrying out of the new law which will govern and control the primary election in March. The work so far has progressed rapidly, and is sufficiently advanced to cause no difficulty in the preparation of com- plying with the law for holding the pri- mary at the time set forth. This work, which has been performed by three clerks, has not as yet cost the City a dollar, simply because Auditor Broderick has refused 10 audit any demands passed by the present Commissioners. “This condition of affairs,”’ said Mr. Denman, chairman of the commission, *‘is & great hardship upon the clerks and others connected with the oince, because they have to work for nothing. “So far as the Commissioners are con- cerned it doesn’t matter, as they can af- ford to give their time for nothing. But the case is different with the others, from the fact that if the Supreme Court should decide against us they will get no mone In order to protect ourselves, the Commi sioners, acting on_ the advice of Mr. Cre well, the City and County Attorney, ex- acted a written agreement from the clerks that should the decision- be adverse to us they would not hoid us responsible for their pay. “These several reasons, besides the other that it will be necessary, to carry the pri- mary law into effect, to put three or four more clerks to work next month, with the uncertainty of getting pay not only for clerical help, but also for printing, stationery and other expenses, place the Commissioners in an embarrasing posi- tion, to say the least of it.”” ————————— An Honorary Member.
