It has not yet been | decided who will make the presentaiion specch, but it is whispered that either Jim Nealon or John Purceil will be select- ed, as they are both distinguished orators and thoroughly conversant with the game of handball. The medals are very hand- some, and the winners of them will have good reason to remember the Occidental Club and the donor, General Wall. ROD AND REEL. Rivers That Are In Splendid Con- ditlon for Fishing. If there are any fish in the lazoons they should be caught to-day, as the water is in splendid condition, and this is the month wien steelheads are on their jour- ney to gravelly beds. John Butler, Frank Marcus, “Chaplain” Terry and a few friends visited Point Reyes last Tuesday, but they returned with the same old story that has been told so often this year—yvi more water than fish. On Monday last Johnny Graham of Point Reyes caught three large fish on angleworms, and a re- port from the Point which arrived yester- day afternoon states thaton Thursday four fresh-run fish were caught near the White Louse. Itis said that Italian fishermen have been seining the fish at night near the Sand Spit and that is one reason why the silyer sides are so scarce in the pools.

The b RUTHERFORD. b UNVERSITY ~ FUD, Legislation for Additional Sup- port for the State In- s'itution. It Takes the Form o! a Bill Creating a State University Fund—The Provisions. A bill is to be introduced into the Legis- lature that is of great moment to the | State University, as it provides for the support and maintenance and for the uc- quisition of additional necessary property and improvements. It is divided into five sections and worded to take effect im- mediately, as follows: Bection 1 provides that in addition to otuer means of support an snnual levy for each fiscal year of 1 cent per $100 shall be made upon the taxable property of the State, and shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as other | | taxes. Section 2 provides that when the State | Board of Equalization makes the annual levy of State tax-s it must also notify the Auditor and Board of Supervisors of each county of this l-cent levy. Section 3 provides that after the deduc- | tion of the proportionate share of the ex- | penses of coliecting the money shall be | paid into the Siate treasury and con- verted into a “‘State University fund.” Section 4 prov.des that the money paid into said fund shail be appropriated for the use and support of the University of California without reference to ars, The State Controller must draw money o1t of the fund upon the order of | the Board of Regents of the university or any culy aathorized officers thereof. The most important section i8 No. 5, provides that the fund must be used only for the support and permanent improvements of the university, but that for the first ten years at least one-half the revenues raised by the 1-cent levy shall be devoted solely to the acquisition of lands, buildings and permanent improve- ments. WILL AID THE JURY. A School Director Thinks That the Teachers’ Salary Expenses Are Too High. The committee of the Grand Jury charged with keeping an eye on the Board | of Education will have the full assistance of Chairman Waller of the Finance Com- | b, mittee of the new board. Mr. Waller thinks that the members of the substitute class should only be paid for the time they are actually employed, and that there are a Jarge number of in- competent teachers in the department who should be dropped from the roll. He saysthat a large number of children do not attend tbe public schools because their parents are unable to buy them the State textbooks and too proud to make apoplication for the books to which indi- gent children are entitled. He wiil bave presented to the Leyislature a bill provid- ing that the Stute shall furnish free to every pupil of the public schools the full series of State textbooks. ——— Stanford E,tate Property Sold.

BATTLE OF CARDS AT FEVER HEAT Third Annual Tournament of Whist Clubs Opened. | Votaries of the Game Gather in Two Clubs to Contest for Trophies. After 11 at Night—Eatries and Scores. There was a stir among wtaries of whist yesterday, when the great battles of the year opened in two clubs simul- | taneously. Whist clubs of the Facific Coast were pitted against one another for trophies and honors, and bad their best teams in the contests. Expert players from Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sausalito, San Rafael, Oakland and Ban Francisco were arrayed in fours and twos for the honor of their respective societies, and they fought the fascinating battles in silen ce during solemn hours of the after- noon and evening until late at night. It was the third annual convention of the Pacific Coast Whist Association. The convention was called to orderin the forenoon at the San Francisco Whist Club, 326 Post street, by P.J. Tormey, | president of the association. The various clubs in the association were represented, but little of a business nature was laid be- fore them excepting the nomination of a committee to select officers for the ensu- ing year. H. H. Hotaling of the San Francisco Whist Club, F. H. Atwater ol the Petaluma Whist Club and H. G. Hah- man of the Santa Rosa club were elected on this committee, which will report to- day. Tamalpais Club of Sausalito was elected to memboership in the association, and its team immediately entered toe contests. With this the business matters were dis- posed of, and nothing remained to be done but wait for the coniests with pleasurable anticipations. The programme contem- plated six fights—the Rideout trophy con- test between teams of four representing Association Clubs, ladies’ contest for pairs, gentlemen’s contest for pairs, progressive match for club fours, progressive match for club pairs, straight whist—to be con- ducted under the direction of a tourna- ment committee, consisting of P. J. Tor- mey, J. D. Eby, F. H. Atwater, Henry Pavot, George E. Bates, George M. Mott, M. H. Denio. The general rules for all contests were announced as follows: Afternoon play to begin at 2 o’clock; evening play at 8 o'clock, sharp. Tie Rideout trophy contest, continuing two days, will take place in the rooms of the Trist Duplicate Whist Club, in the *‘Berkshire,” on Jones, near Sutter. All the other matches will takeplace in the rooms of the San Francisco Whist Club, 326 | Post street. | A record of the result of each match will be posted in the rooms of both clubs assoon as possible after the completion of each after- noon’s and evening’s piays. Entries for the various matches other than straight whist will be received up to an half hour before play Leglus. When more than one pair enter from any one club. such p'ayers must all take same po- sitions, either north and south of eastand west. deal to compare their scores with the players at the same table, but no player shall be al- lowed to see or know any score not made at s own table until the end of play of each ternoon and evening, and then only when announced by the tournament commiitee, No player shall be allowed to keep a private or second score or memorandum of any portion of the match or play, or of the state or condi- tion thereof, or communicate or receive any information in regard thereto, except such as is announced h{ the tcurnament committee. Upon any violation of this clause the team of the player guilty of such violation shall be immediately required to withdraw from the match, In the Rideout trophy contest, first day’s lay, 8 match won Wil count one, sud & maich tied will count one-half. In caseof a tie in the match score, the trick score will de- termine the winner. All_questions arising out of or as a result of any match will be decided by that portion of the tournament committee in charge. Ap- peal to the full committee can be taken within two hours after any decision, The tournament comumittee is authorized to alter the rules in any matter of detail, should occusion require the same. At the San Francisco Whist Club ladies occupied the large front room. They be- gan playmng at 2 P. M. in pairs ior the prizes presented by the Oakland Whist Club, a gold top bonbon box, a silver photo frame, a silver inkstand, a siiver- handled duster. The style of this game was progressive whist, and the winners were decided by the average system. The prizes were for the two pairs getting re- spectively the highest east and west and the h ghest north and south scores. The official score is as follows, showing that Mrs. Darling and Mrs. Hawes, Mrs. Yale and Mrs. Biackwood won, giving the prizes to the San Francisco club and the Qakland club: Onk‘l‘n'\nd Whist Club—Mrs. Coffin, Mrs. 8ill, 152, W.

Hasletr, 167 Go'den Gate Whist Club—George Murphy Fisher, 228, W. neisco Waist Club—H. H. Hotaling Abrams, 166, N. A glance at the score is enough to show that the teams were evenly motched. must be remembered that the game occu- pled three hours of serious playing, and the totals were nearly equel. Forster and Barnhard of the San I%rnnci:cu club won north and south, but twoeast and west pairs tied on 228, which caused .them to | play off six deals after din ner. | Lovegrove and Meyer, of the San Fran- cisco Whist Club, won in the play-off | against Murphy and Fisher and secured | two of the much-prized sets of cards and boards. They had hardly ceased playing when the rooms of the San Francisco Whist Club began to fill with players who | were eager to enter in the evening con- tests. The evening saw a much larger number of contestarnts than the afternoon. The evening maich among club teams of four was for prizes presented by the San Francisco W hist Club, consisting of four | engrossed, silver-mounted loving cups. The rules governing the play were in effect that any four vlayers, members of the same club or not, might enter under a club of distinctive name, and any club might enter more than one four. | The match was played under the pro- | gressive system and the team taking the greatest number of tricks was declared the winner. incase of a tiea provision was made that it be played off this morning | from u numberof deals designated by thai | portion of the tournament committee in | charge. Sixteen teams were entered, and the | team from the Trist Club ticd with the | San Francisco Whist Club for first place. | 'The great event of the tournament is the association contest for the Rideout trophy, which opened at 2 P. M.in the Trist Duplicate Whist Club, 711 Jones street, and was only half finished at 1i:30 o’clock. This contest was played in teams of four. The first day, under the Howell system, each club played a certain num- ber of deals, half in the afternoon, the otber half in the evening, which consti- tuted a match, against every other club. The four teams baving the highest scores of matches won shall be entitled to enter the semi-finals. Two scores are kapt, viz.: the score of matches won and the score of tricks taken. Sbould one or more | clubs be tied with the club having the lowest score of the four leading clubs the team having the bhighest trick score shall be entitled to place. The secomd day the semi-finals shall consist of twenty-four deals each, and shall be played under the A. W, L. two-table system, according to accothpanying schedule, Players may be changed before play begins in the aiter- noon and evening, but at no other time, | except in case of & ckness. The tour clubs entering the semi-finals shall be drawn by {ot to play against each other this afternoon. The Trist Club rooms were beautifally decorated in honor of the occasion with | evergreens and flowers, snd a fashionable For ratner a select varty of players wes gathered there both afternoon and even- ing. In comparison with the trophy all other events appeared as mere passing events, but then the trophy is a magnifi- cent silver cup greatly in demand by every club in the association. It is to be held by the winning club subject to challenge, under rules adopted by the association. In additionsto it souvenir buttons of the association will be presented to the four players who play ior the winning club in the final match. ~The following clubs and | players entered the tropby contest: San Francisco Whist Club—Mrs. George E.

It | | HALL OF JUSTICE CONTRACT SIGNED Mayor Phelan Affixed His Signature to It Yes- terday. Contractors Waived Claims to Changes in the Specifi- cations. | City and County Attorney Creswell Said They Could Not Ee Legally Made. Mayor Phelsn signed the contract and plans for the Hall of Justice yesterday, thus removing the last obstacle to begil ning work on tie big structure. ofhers, were present when the important ceremony was performed, and all breathed a sigh of relief when it was finally over. Previous to signing the Mayor asked whether the contractors would waive their | claims 1o changes which they desired to make in the specifications, and it was on r giving an affirmative answer that he | affixed his signature. The Mayor's anxiety about the specifica- | tions was occasioned by an opinion ren- | dered by the City and County Attorney | at the request of the Board of Supervisors. He was asked whether or not the speci | cations could legally be changed. Yester- day he made his reply, which was to the | effect that the specifications and plans could not be changed, His opinion was in part as follows: ¢ The section as originally adopted makes it fmperative that all material mentioned in the specifications shall be manufactured in the State of California, if produced or manufac- tured in this State. The substitute makes it possible to do otherwise by permission of the board on application and on recommendation | of the architects. The board, by its resolu- | tion, directs the City and County Atiorney to omit from the specifications eversthing in this section of possible benefit to the City, and 10 retain only ihe part thereof tbat is of ad- vantage to the contractor. Continuing, Mr. Creswell stated that the resolution directing the chanege to be made was adopted long aiter the adver- tisement inviting proposals had been made, and after proposals had been re- ceived and the contract awarded to the successful bidder. The board had not legal power to pass such a resolution. It had the physical power to pass it, but not power to enforce it.. The specifications could not be changed after the advertise- ment inviting proposals had been made. Certainly they could not be changed after the contract hiad been awarded. In conclusion Mr. Creswell said he had prepared a contract in accordance with the act of the Legislature undér which the proceedings had been conducted. He declared that the contract should have been signed long ago, and that there had not been, in his opinion, any good reason for -the delay. The delay referred to was occasioned by Mayor Sutro, who had with- held his signature for a variety of reasons, and finally turned the matter over to his successor. | A Peculiar Accident. OAKLAND, CaLn, Jan. 8.—A peculiar accident happened to-day. G. W. Foun- tain was driving a produce wagon in the Watts tract when he was met by a lad named Lafayette Latimer, who was riding a lively pony. When passing the wagdn the, ;iony jumped onto Fountain's seat and kicked him off into the road. Lati- mer's wrist and shouiderblade were broken and Fountain’s right wrist was so badly fractured that the bones protruded through the flesh. Fountain cannot leave the hospital for severaldays, but Latimer went home this evening. ¥ ————————————— Fees of the Constables, The Supreme Court yesterday decided that the appeal of Constable J. H. Johnston of Los Angeles County was on all fours with the de- cision in the case of Dwyer against Parker, in which the fee biil was defined.

The same tasteful garlanding of red bunting and evergreens still remained and the effect was as before, bright and pretty. The next meeting of the Friday Nights, originally arranged for the 22d inst., has been postponed to February 5 and the last cotillon, which had been arranged for Feb- ruary 5, will be held the latter part of Feb- ruary.

A Man Who Was Eobbed Tried to Hide His Identity and Lost His Case. T, J. Williams, alias T. J. Carroll, a resident at the Lick House, complained to Chief Crowley on Thursday last that two women unknowu to bim and a waiter at the notorious Monte Carlo saloon had robbed him of $25. The accused trio were gathered in by the police and were on trial yesterday morning before Police Judge Low. The complaining witness, however, had failed to swear correctly to his name in the complaint, and when he appeared in court he stated his name was Carroll. Upon this showing Thomas F. Graham, who was until yesterday Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney in Police Court 3, but who is now in the regular ranks of attor- neys, demanded a dismissal and won his first case. The women arrested were Theresa Aus- tin and Mary Miller, their aileged accom- plice being Oliver B. Craig. ANOTHER EXPERT. Finance Committee Appoints Newman. Telephone Charges.

AN EXPENSIVE DRINK Valued Higher Than a Horse and Rifle. A soldier in the regular army was com- menting on the strength of an Indian’s love for whisky. “They are the biggest fools you ever saw. Icame acrossa buck one day on the-plains and he askea if I had any whisky.. I shook thecanteenand told him there was only one drink there. He insisted on having it and offered his rifle for it. Finally he got mad because I wouldn’t take the rifle and pony. You never saw such fools. Why didn’t I make the trade? I would, but, you see, that was the oniy drink I had.”” This story is used to illustrate the power of human habits, and tospeak particularly to those who are annoyed with the coffee babit, which is the cause of an immense amount of sickness, the coffee never being suspected. Chemists find the same poi- sonous a'kalvids in coffee as in strychnine, tobacco and morphine, It is easy to quit coffee by adopting the delicious health coffee made of the grains, wheat, ete. Postum cereal has the deep seal-brown color of fine Mocha, and changes to the rich golden brown of old Java when cream is added. Its fragrance and flavor are charming. ‘When coffee is left off and postum put in its place the old troubles of the body disappear, and under the true nourish- ment of the food drink new vifality, strength and the ruddy color of health quicily appear. Postum makes red blood for adults and children and is a most grateful change from berry coffee, the new beverage having everything in its favor and none of the hurtfal properties of the old. Made at Battle Creek, Mich., by the Postum Cereal Company, Lim, Dr. Albert P. Hedges, 1381 North Clark street, Chicago, says: “It is a long needed article.” “Just as good” as Postum Cereal are words used to defraud the public, is thefriend in need. It will reduce the Inflam- mation, so that the grip on the tissues of the lood-vessels is relaxed, and the uric acid is sent on its way out of the body.
