THE SA STANFORD'S NEW FOOTBALL YELL Warlike Slogan Calculated to Strike Terror to Berkeley. Enthusiasm Runs High at a Student Rally Held in the Chapel. Varsity Team Men Leav: for the Congress Springs Training Quarters. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cav., Nov. 20.—Stanford students held a big football rally in the chapel last evening, and for two hours enthusiasm ran riot. Theaudi- torium was crowded to its fullest capacity, and as each footbali man entered he was given an ovation, as were Coach Cross and some of the faculty members, a larze number of whom were present. All the college yells were given, the favorite being a new yell, which is given very rapidly and is most effective. It runs lige this: Give 'em the ax! the ax! the ax! Glve’em the ax! theax! the ax} Give 'em the a: ve 'em the ax! Give ‘em the ax —Where? Right in the neck! the neck ! the neck ! Rizht in the neck ! the neck ! (he neck ! in the neck! Right in the neck! Rigut in the neck (—There! The last words of each cry are greatly prolonged, and as it is given by the Stan- ford crowd would do credit to a band of blood-thirsty Apache warriors. A speech was made by Professor Still- man, who said tbat he did not believe the team couid be beaten, but if it should be the football men as well as the students should prove that they could bear them- selves as creditably in defeat as in victory. He advised them to be philosophical in the matter, to remember Berkeley's five long years of hope deferred and let them enjoy the victory if they won. “However,”” continued the professor, “I have every confidence in our athletes and believe that Berkeley’s hope will of neces- sity be deferred at least one vear more.” Then Coach Cross was called upon and made a most enthusiastic speech that brought him rounds of applause, and his own Yale yell was given with a vim. He said that if the men played the game of which they were capable he had not the slightest fear of the outcome. But every man would have to do his best and every student would have to lend nis or her en- couragement to the men to urge them on. Captain Fickert maintained, when called upon, that it was a football man’s busi- ness to play good, hard football rather than to spend his time talking. He com- plimented the players on their conscien- tious training and expressed confidence that they would work hard for victory. He extended thanks to the ex-Stenford players who had returned to aid in the coaching of the team and concluded his neat little talk with an expression of con- fidence that the team would triumph. Stuart Cotton argued that it was no longer a question of victory. The ques- tion of the size of the score was ail that bhe thought should worry the mind. Among others who spoke was Archie Rice of THE CALL, who is a Staniord graduate. He gave the team advice from the stand- point of one who had seen both collegiate teams in several games. Professors Wood and Miller also addressed the students, as did Football Manager Dave Brown. Before adjourning it was decided that the Stanford band should go 10 the game in neat uniforms. The football men, to the number ot twenty-eight men, outside of the coacher, left this morning for Congress Springs. All but four or five were in good condi- tion, and these are expected to be in shape in a day or two. Thé list of men was as follows: Captain Fickert, Searight, Dole, Rice, Murphy, Cotton, Beckett, Freeman, Parker, Carle, Harrington, Thomas, Jeffe, Straight, McIntosh, Burnett, B. Thomas, Williams, McLame, Bigelow, Soper, Rob- inson, Adams, Daley, R. Smitb, Fisher. The biz’'buses were driven around the allndrnngla with their loads of Stanford’s rawny men and were cheered to the echo by the students. It is not expected that the men will return until after the big game. According to her usual custom Stanford will send a band to the football game. A large number of musicians entered with the freshman class and after a semester’s hard practice a well-drilled band of forty pieces has been produced. F.D. Wills '98 bas acted as leader this year in place of Adolph Kaulman '97, leader on former oc- casions. The time of the latter has been occupied in drilling the glee club. The managers of the band areat present dis- cussing a proper uniform for the men. Several advocate the adoption of a cap and gown; others suggest a cardinal mor- tarboard, a dark-blue band coat with the reguiation cardinal braid, and white duck trousers. The latter uniform wili proba- bly be adopted as the rainy weather would play sad havoc with colored gowns. i ey Stanford’s Engineering Journal. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov. 20.—An engineering journal conducted by the three engineering clubs here will prob- ably make its appearance early in Janu- ary. The magazine, if successful finan- cially, will be published at the ciose of each semester. It has for its object the g:esannuon of the best reports delivered fore the engineering students in the va- rious societies. The following staff will attend to the first issue of the paper: Editor-in-chief, G. R. Greenleaf; business manager, C. F. Aaron; board of direct- ors—Professor Perine, Professor Hoskins, Professor G. Marx, G. R. Greenleaf '97, B.N. Young 97, C. 8. Pope'97, H. Pome- roy '97. — Santa Bartara Water Suit, SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Nov. 20.—A case of more than local interest has been on trial before a jury in the Superior Court of this county for the last few days. It involved riparian rights. Some time ago H. 8. Gould, a wealthy rancher of Monte- cito Valley, got out an injunction against ex- Assemblyman J. S. Barker to prevent him from using the water of Montecito Creek. Barker, the present plaintiff, in turn brought suit to compel Gould to allow him the use of the water. The case went to the jury late this evening, and after five minutes’ deliberation 1t returned & verdict 1n favor of plaintiff. Handkerchiefs for Paupers, An important question has just come up for discussion at the Birmingham Board of Guardians, and forms one of the burn- ing topics of the day. It Is nc less than the provision of pocket-handkerchiefs for the inmates. The guardianin favor of the provision of these articles urged that *‘primarily they must know that it was a common thing'to find a paupe: with a nose on his face, and that paupers oceca- sionally suffered from colds.” On inguiry at the house he found that of twenty men whom he saw only six could be said to ess anything answering to a pocket- andkerchief. The largest of them would not be above 6 inches square, while others varied in shape down to one about 6 inches long and 14 inches wide. Another guardian, in seconding, mentioned that among the women in the aged woman’s ward he found oaly six | out that, from the foundation of the navy, or seven bhandkerchiefs. The matter bhas now been referred to a com- mittee, though a further question may arise as to whether tbe poor rate can be used for the washing of these articles. The discussion may open up a wide question as to the average number of handkerchiefs used by paupers in ihe United Kingdom, or for the matter of that by the working classes generally. It is certainly a point for poor law reformers.—Westminster Ge- zette. ————————— Sald He Was Poisoned. Joe Beranti, an [talian, was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night, suffering from arsenica! poisoning. He died at 2:15 this morning. Before he died Beranti said he was out to the Cliff House with a friend named Joe Plato; that they both took a drink and he saw Plato drop some white powder into his glass. Piato has not been arrested, but the police are looking for him. MARINES AT THE GUNS. Hereafter the Corps Will Have In- creased Duties Aboard Ship. One of the most noteworthy festures in the naval regulations, as recently revised, is a paragraph which directs the com- manding ufficers of vessels 1o assign ma- rines as a part of the regular forces lor working the batteries. It is understood that this paragraph was inserted in accordance with Secretary Herbert’s purpose to make this hereafter the established policy of our navy, and of his conclusion that the trial Le lias made of it for some months past has proved sat- isfactory. Taken in connection with the increase of the marine corps by 500 enlisted men at the last session of Congress, to say nothing of the bills pending for the reor- ganization of the corps, it is clear that, under the present administration, the tendency will be to enlarge, rather than4 restrict, the duties of this portion of the ship’s company. The contest on_this question bas been prolonged, and there is no reason to sup- pose that it is yet entirely over, since another Secretary might take a different view from Mr. Herbert’s. But the in- crease of the corps as a result of the part of that body in its usefulness aboard ship. This fact makes it highly probable that the marine corps is destined to retain its importance as a part of the naval or- ganization. The arguments of those who are for withdrawing the marines altogether from ships and assigning them to shore duty only are that the sailors will be improved in discipline and morale if they furnish their own guard, and that with the re- striction upon the space aliowed for quar- ters in ships, and in the number of men that can be carried, every enlistea man ought to be capable of performing all sorts of duty. The marine, it is urged, is only a sentry, and in such laborious duty as that of coaling ship sometimes takes part in the hard work, whiie even privates of the ma- rine corps are excused from it for the purpose of standing guard over the blue- jackets. It is further heid that not only would the available force for all sorts of duty be increased by substituting saitors for marines, but the sailors would have more self-respect and the petty officers would have a share in military and ship aiscipline that properly belongs to them. This view, in substance, was taken several years ago by a naval board on the revision of drill ana tactics, of which Commodore Greer was the senior member, the view of that board being that the marines should be entirely withdrawn irom the ships and placed on shore duty. However, the officers of the marine corps, supported strengily by a portion of the officers of the navy, suggested a differ- ent solution of the problem. Pointing marines have played a most honorable and useful part, that their organization isted even through the Revo.ution- ary War, and that its services have been praised by some of the greatest of American sailors, they urged that the true course is to increase the usefulness of marines aboard ship, About two years ago Secretary Herbert, in acting upon a petition of the petty officers and men of opne vessel, praying that the marines should be withdrawn, issued a circular saying that he was “con- vinced of the usefulness of that corps both ashore and afloat and of the pro- priety of contiguing it in service on ship- board.” In his last report the Secretary con- tinued his views in detail. He urged that the modern steam vessel habitually re- mains longer in portthan the old sailing vessel, and hence exercises its crew more in landing parties and infantry arill Such drills and exercises with the ship’s battery take up more of the time of the modern than the old tar, and ‘it is precisely in infantry and gun drills that the marine is or may be an expert.” Accordingly he considered that marines were more proverly a part of the ship’s crew now than of oldy. and that marines ought to man a portion of the guns as well as handle small arms, and that their officers should, “‘subject to the orders of the captain, command gun crews and even guh divisions.” He thought that there would be a heaithy spirit of emulation between the sailors and the marines. . Accordingly, he decided to put sixty marings with two of their officers on the Indisna. and other such iorces on the other first-class battle-ships. It has been stated that one report made by the exec- utive officer of the Indiana spoke of the use of the marines as *‘a source of confu- sion and embarrassment.” But that the Navy Department did not regard the ex- periment as unsatisfactory is shown by the fact that it makes the assignment of marines to the working of guns a part of the regulations as revised. —————— HERALDIC DECORATIONS. Devices Which Appear in the Ornamen- tation of Public Buildings. Without some knowledge of the science of heraldsy it 1s impossible to appreciate the various devices which appear in the ornamentation of many of our publie buildings and churches. Within the last few years, in particular, Americans have given closer attention to the dignity and beauty of these stately edifices, and it requires but a passing glance to acquaint us with the part that heraldry plays in their embellishment, says a writer in Lip- pincott’s. recent legislation shows a belief on the ' The revived taste for the well-defined styles of architeciure of the medieval period is apparent in all our larger cities; the introduction of the griffin, lion and other heralaic figures is particularly no- ticeable. ‘Take, for instance, the public library of Boston, *‘built by the people and dedicated to the advancement of learn- ing,” in which heraldic decoration forms one of the most important features. The heraldic seals of the State, ity and trus- tees are beautifully carved on panels above the main entrance; the seals or book-marks of the world’s famous pub- lishers, beautifully carved, are a feature of the exterior decoration, and eagies, lions, the signs of the zodiac and other symbols are exeguted in various parts of the building with telling effect. The quaintly carved “lion and unicorn™ ufon the old Boston State-House speaks plainly of British oceupancy, and the many coats-of-arms on old tombstones in that city and vicinity cannot fail to im- press the observer. An especially rich display of sculptured coats-of-arms is to be seen upon the Gettysburg batilefield, where costly monuments bear the arms of the States by which they have been erected in commemoration of the troops ;iho participated in that memorable con- et 2 Teapots were the invention either of the Chinese or the Indians, and are of uncer- tain antiquity.

Suffrings of Onme of the Rightful Owners of the Large Gilman Estate. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 20.—Laura Mec- Kinnie, a motherless little girl, 10 years oid, died very suddenly in this city yes- terday, amongz strangers, but not guite friendless. Her death recallsthe fact that she was one of the heirs to the at one time $500,000 Gilman estate. The little girl was one of the grandchildren of the late Cap- tain James H. Gilman, who died some years ago. Had she lived it is not at all likely that she would have ever receivea the legacy which her wealthy grandfather intended that she should enjoy with her brother. By the time the surviving child snall have attained bis majority there will not be much of the estate left to realize upon, if things go as they have in the past. The whole story of the Gilman fortune is one of wrongs and mismanagement; and, besides, the “good times” when the Giman House for instance brougnt in $800 a month are gone, and a half dozen years after the owner has passed away the estate is not worth $50,000. The lot of the McKinnie children has not been a pleas- ant one, in the exchange of a once com- fortable home and luxuries for the public charities. H After the death of Mrs. Ida McKinnie, Gilman's daughter, McKinnie broke up the household and boarded at different places around town. The last place at which he and his children were housed was the Imperial Hotel. McKinnie could never take care of money, especially money that came from others for him to spend. His children, the nurse and him- self were turned out of the Imperial on account of non-pavment of a bill. After- ward the administrator paid part of this bill. McKinnie acted as guardian for his chilaren. When money was turned over to him to be expended for the benefit of the boy and girl it was not certain what became of it. The father evidently was not concerned about the welfare of his children. A little over a year ago McKinnie left here and was supposed to have gone to Idaho. He was engaged in_ the insurance soliciting business, and made money when he cared to make the effort. He placed Laura in St. Mafy's Academy on Market street and promi-ed to pay for her tuition, but the sisters never heard from McKin- nie again, and they had to turn the child out finally, because che pay for her tuition and board was not forthcoming. The sis- ters have the bill yet. The fatber took the boy, Gilman Me- Kinnie, with him, but what became of either of them or where they are is a ques- tion, as the present administrator of the estate, Cieveland Rockwell, holds no correspondence with him. DENTISTRY FOR MULES, Ii Pays Mining Corporations to Leok After the Teeth of Their Animals. 1t1s not generally known that the large mining corporations spend thousands of dollars annually in having veterinary den- tists examine and treat the teeth of the much-maligned mine mule. Such is the case, however, and it is safe to say that the molars of these beasts of burden receive far more care and attention than do the teeth of many of the men and boys who are their daily co-workersin the under- ground caverns. A well-known Harrisbure veterinary dentist who makes a specialty of treating mules’ teeth has more patients awaiting their turn for his services than perbaps any dentistin the State. At pbres- ent he is engaged in treating the teeth of the 290 mules used in operating the col- lieries of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Comgany, which is only one of a dozen similar big coal companies that finds use for his services. A vicious, stnbborn mule, that snaps at its driver, and kicks at the tantalizing doorboys, several hundred feet beneath the earth’s surface, is neither an attractive nor a dociie patient, so that the occupa- tion of the veterinary dentist 1s not pleas- ant; -but he has studied the peculiarities and wickedness of his long-eared patients, and goes about his work, lhowinf neither fear nor favor, no matter now vicious his patient may be. It frequently happens that ju-t as he has hnished doctoring the mule’s teeth at a colliery, his patients are so regretful over bis near departure that they make frantic efforts to keep a mouth- ful of his person with them, or, failing in this, they try to leave the imprint of one of their sharp shoes on his anatomy as an everlasting souvenir of their appreciation. The mule’s stubbornness, however,is more than offset by the dentist’s grit and deter- mination, and he never passes a patient until he has closely examined mouth and treated all the teeth that are in need of his attention. A few days ago as the veterinary dentist was completing his work at omne of the mines he turned his attention toa big mule that is exceedingly vicious and sly, and had just grasped the mule's tongue in order to have a better view of the teeth when the animal suddenly brought his teeth together with a snap over the docter’s right hand, cutting the thumb to the bone. The beast was emphaticaliy re- buked for his ungratefuiness, the wonnded thumb was dressed, and before the mule fikes, and it is not much wonder, us he is locked in stocks, his head firmly secured. and then while' his tongue is pulled to one side the dentist wears the projecting teeth down witn an instrument thai hasa ereater rasp than a coarse file. As soon as a mule sees the dentist with his brizht steel instruments he seems to realize what is in store for him and distends his nos- trils and eyes. He moans pitifully when a tooth is being extracted and seems to be happy when the diseased molar is drawn out. "At times, in showing his obj-ctions to the operator's heroic measures, the mule jumps over the bars behind which he is confined. The molars of a mule are three and a half inches in length, while the incisors measure two and’ & half inches, and judging from his signs of pain the nerves are as plentiful and as sensitive as are those of human beings. An expert dentist operates on twenty- four mules a day, and it is said thata maule patient will remember the operation aslong ashelives. Theextraction instru- ments are from two to three feet in length, and the entire case of instruments weighs fully sixty pounds, The teeth of the mine mule are examined and treated, if neces- sary, once or twice a year, and 8s soon as the dentist puts in his second appearance at a mine his former patients become un- usually nervous and vicious.—Shamokin (Pa.) Letter. THE RAT SEEMS TO LIKE HIM An Untamed Rodent’s Sudden Attach- ment for a Warehouse Porter. George Wilson, a colored porter of Vir- ginian birth, who works for T. Sisson & Co., is the object of the singular affection of a rat, About two weeks ago he caught a large gray rat in a wire trap in the store- house and called on one of the firm to see his catch. The subject of disposing of the rat by poison, drowning or by the aid of a rat-terrier dog was discussed, and pending a decision of the question Wilson fed the rat in the cage for a day and then let the rodent go. To his surprise the rat returned to the trap the next night, and was found the following morning awaiting Georze's visit with manifestations of pleasure. He was fed again, and exhibited his appro- bation of his colored preserver’s kindness by rubbing his head along the bars, licking Wilson's finger, and acting much asa cat does when purring forth her affection. Wilson stroked the rat throu:n the bar: of its prison, gave it more food, and let it go again. It appreciates the kindness estowed upon it by returning nightiy to its cage to be fed. A singular fact is that the rat calmly ignores the presence of any one else, and will oniy arouse itself and show delight when Wilson approaches. The rat’s colored friend has as yet made no attempt to handle it for training pur- poses, but it shows genuine pleasure when be is around, and yesterday played about the storehouse while he wasat work. After being released, the rat usually climbs the wall and passes through a convenient hole into & room above. The life of that rat is not likely to be shortened through its singular attachment to its benefactor. Other dumb animals seem to be favora- bly affected by Wilson’s presence. John J. Nairn, the accountant of the firm, owns a gray riding horse, which he uses daily. The men at the stable where the horse is kept are a little afraid of it, and are espe- cially careful how they approach its two extremities, as it is rather viciously in- clined at both ends. It is notso, however, when Wilson is around Mr. Nairn, when he comesdown in the morning, dismounts, and, calling to Wilson, takes off the horse's bridle, and the animal follows the colored man anywhere, and he is perfectiy docile in his presence. Perhaps one secret of Wilson’s influence over dumb animals is his uniform good nature and kindly dis- K»osi:ion‘ You can read these qualities in Wilson’s face, and he is a genuine good- natured, kindly Virginia darky, one of the best of his type.—Hartford Courant. —————— HIS L AST OFFICIAL ACT. Napoleon Intrusted the Empress and His Son to the National Guard. Next day Napoleon performed his last official act, which was one of great cour- age both physical and moral. The Na- tional Guard in Paris had been reorgan- ized, but its officers had never been thor- oughly loyal to the empire, many of them being royalists, and some radical republicans. beir dissatisiaction had been heightened by recent events, but they were nevertheless summoned to the Tuileries; the risk was doubled by the fact that they came armed. Drawn upin the great chamber known as that of the the marshals, they stood expectant; the great doors were thrown open, and there entered the Emperor, accompanied by his consort and their child in tbe arms of nis governess, Mme. de Montesquieu. Napoleon announced simply that he was about to put himself at the head of his army, hoping, by the aid of God and the valor of his troops, to drive the enemy be- ond the frontiers, There®was silence. hen taking in one hand that of the Em- press, and leading forward his child by the. other, he continued: "I intrust the Empress and the King of Rome to the courage of the national guard.” Still silence. After a moment, with suppressed emotion, heconcluded: ““My wife and my son.”” No geuerous-hearted Frenchman could withstand such an appeal. Breaking ranks by a spontaneous impulse, the officers started forward in a mass, and shook the very walls with theircry, “Long live the Emperor!” Many shed tears as they withdrew in respectful silence, and that night,#on the eve of his departure, the Emperor received a numerously signed address from the very men whose loyalty be had hitherto b just reason to sus- Eecl.-—“Llh of Napoleon,” by Professor loane, in the August Century. FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1896. WEDDED AT LAST, A Postponed Ceremony Crowned With Much Joy and More Feasting. TRUTH BELITTLES FICTION Weeping Bridesmaids and a De- mented Bride Made Very Happy. “‘The gentleman who arose in his place last week and was rude enough to remark that California has no choice sensations will oblige me by paying his dues and— withdrawing from the club,” remarked a man with a face full of humor who pre- sides over a coterie of ‘‘Good Fellows' who meet once a week to gossip—and smoke. “What's the latest, Jim?’ queries a man who smells in the atmosphera a good “‘spicy” story. *‘Now, boys, this must be on the dead- est kind of a dead level,” muses the story- teller. ““I would sooner eat my hat than that this should get out, but it’s gospel, and the only excuse for telling it is that it is about a fellow we used to chaff about getting married.” Secrecy wassworn to all round, but, as usual, “somebody leaked.”” 1tis “always thusly.” £ But to return, A prominent member of the club had been attached to a highly respected girl for more than a year. At times it was noised about that they were to be married, and then in a month or two the weddine was “not going to come off,” as the society reporters put it. A vague suspicion arose that the gentleman was trifling with the affections of the girl, and war was threatened on more than one side. But the wedding day was eventually announced. Ushers were chosen alto- gether apart from this coterie of his old friends, ana it was said that the prospec- tive bride had wilied it so. Every one who knew him thought that to marry was a good safe thing for him to do, for, as a result of thoughtless folly, he had become nervous, down-hearted and “blue,” but as the girl was evidently fond of him, and at the same time sensible and good- hearted, it promised to be more than “a bappy match.” Theday came, the brides- maids were in charming toilettes, the bride was expectant, and the priest as reaay and willing as is usual on such occasions.” But the groom came not. A messenger fouud that he had left the house all reedy for the ceremony, and his absence became a mat- "brl for comment which was scarcely favor- able. It seems that he had had a feeling as though he was nozguxte fiv for the married state, and he put off irom day to day the matter of going to ask some one who could tell him the truth about the matter. But at the very last moment his courage failed him. He decided to be driven to the great Hudson Medical Institute, at the junction of Market, Stockton and Ellis sireets, and to get advice before going to the altar. With characteristic trath and no flurry he was told there by one of the senior physicians that in justice to his vrospective bride he should put off the ceremony for a time. He went out and sent a message, but he could not bring his poor brains to word it. It merely said: Minnie—Cannot come; sick. Please post- pone ceremony. Now, nine women out of ten would have been disgusied as well ‘as disappointed, but she simply had a plain case ot hysier- ics; her four bridesmaids wept copiously; and the wedding party adjourned. Tendaysazo Iilt little party reconvened. One whole man was made happy: one good girl became a wife; the dinner which followed was a pleasant episode for every one; the ball which followed that was sweet enough to atone for an earlier dis- appointment—so said the bridesmaids— and a tale of truth which seems improba- ble on its face has got into print. “I will swear,” said the happy bride- groom (if you won’t print my name, of course) there is nothing good enough for me to say about how 1 was pulled out of this hole.” But even then he did not say that “Hudyan''—the splendid remedio-treat- ment for all nervous disorders intro- duced by the doctors of the Hudson Medical Institute had cured him. How was it digcovered ? Why the| president of his social club, seeing how ill he was, had written to the Hudson Medi- cal Institute and asked them to mail some circu ars about the great “Hudyan” to this poor fellow. And strangely enough | he dropped a “Hudyan” circular at tne altar when he was eventually married. Of course the physicians at the Institute decline to discuss the case. They always do, but truth will out. “Hudyan'’ has cured thousands of peo- ple of all classes of disease unquestionably, but is it to become immortal? Time will tell.

The dentist asserts that in his entire experience that was the first time that he had ever been bitten badly, altuough his patients frequently have the satisfaction of sinking their teeth into the folds of his heavy clothing, The teeth of these mules, like those of human beings, require some attention, al- though the former do not often decay, as the food they masticate is neither rich nor destructive.
