Miss Polrier Denles the Report That Vinelli Talked to Her of Love. , CAn, Aug. 28.—The excite- h has prevailed here nearly all attempted lynching the of Mexican who shot pretuy littie old Florine Poirier at the Colusa last Tuesday, has about subsided, although some who on the quiet claim to know what they are talking about say that the mob leaders are only biding their time and wi n attempt to hang the would-be murderer, whether the girl lives or dies. At any rate Sheriff Jones feels secure enough, with his little band of eight guards, to have dismissed beth companies of the National ard here subject 10 bis command for the past two days in charge of Major W. W. Doug- lass of the Second Infantry, National Guard of California. The wounded girl has rested well all dav, and appears much brighter than she has at any time since the tragsdy. One bullet—the first one fired and which en- tered the girl’s left breast—has been lo- cated at the point of the left shoulder- blade, and will probably be removed on Monday. The other, which entered her left hip and ranged downward, has not been located. The Mexican does not improve and lies sutfering awful agony on his lonely cot in the county jail from the bullets which he sent crashing into his breast in his at- tempt at self-destruction. He refuses to talk toany one except the priest, to whom, ilis said, he has made a full statement of his crime. He is of sitender build and very dark complexion, avout 45 years of age, and bas lived in and around Colusa for the past twelve or fifteen years, doing odd jobs around town. Vinelli was never known to have been in any trouble here until last May, when he lay in wait for this same girl at the same bridge and made an attempt to shoot her, He was prevented by persons who bappened to be passing, and who no- tified her father. The affair was aliowed to drop to prevent unpleasant notoriety. Since that time he had not attempted to molest her until he so nearly endel her Jife lasi Tuesday.

SHASTA RETREAT, CaL, Aug. 28— A targe number of the teachers boarded the train for Sissun this morning that the day might be spant in pleasure and sight- seeing. A special car had been attached to the regular train and was left at Sisson. After dinner “all aboard” was again sounded, and the car was taken by Superintendent Leland of the Leland, Wood & Sheldon Lumber Company to the Ilumber camp, which is five miles from Sisson, through the wonderful Box Canyon. On the return trip a short stop was made there, and all had an opportunity to view this beautiful scenery. This was 1he first passenger-car to go over the road. Upon their return to Sisson all who couaid procure vehicles went te the various points of interest near by. Among these were the United Stales hatchery and the headwaters of the Sacramento River. Notwithstanding the fact that the view of Mount Sh. was greaily obscured by smoke, all thoroughly enjoyed the sight of the msjestic old mountain. Many of the teachers had their kodaks with them and obtainea views of the base of the monarch of California mountains, To- night Shasta Retreat seems like a deseriec #choolroom, practically all of the teachers having gone to their homes. ftipssa i Attempts to End His Life.

Large columns of | a size and style similar to that of the Arch Triumpnant will support an arch springing from midway in their height and curving ovar svmmetrically. On either side will appear in large letters the word “Welcome” formed with numerous vari-colored incandescent lights. A pen- dent banner will bear the letters “N. S. G. W.” formed by electric lamps. This arch will be surmounted by a massive bear, and the flags of the Territory and the Union will flutter to the breeze irom its summit. Allegorical paintings of the argonaut days and of the present time will be dis- played in panels on t.e massive columns supporting ihe arch. The celebration colors—red, white, bine and gold—will be used exclusively in the draping of these structures. The five. pointed star, inclosing the bear and other emblems of the Native Sons’ order, will be used profusely. Thousards of Japan- ese lanterns, pennants, flacs and stream- | ers will halp to make up a magnificent | decoration. ¥ Fifty parlors will take part in the cele- bration. Stanford and Yerba Buena par- lors of San Francisco will pariicipate in the parade and exercises, but they have arranged for a miniature celebration of their own at Mark West Springs. near here, on the evening of the 9th and the day of the 10 b.

The points were well contested, but the winners showed decided superiority in points involving skill rather than "ac- tvity. The finals began at 2:45 p. M., S8am Har- dy snd Magee meeting the Whitney brothers, holders of the Pacific Coast cham pionship. Both teams played a splendid game, each point being hutly contested. Hardy Rf yed an easy game and was well backed, geo's excellent net play making the Whitneys work hard for victorv. The ;Ntéiténey“a won by a score of 6—3, 1—6, Lo tn Somoma’s Mining Boom.

REDDING, Car., Aug. 28.—Jeff Gi%sin a prosperous stockman of Millville, twelve miles east of Redding, came to this this evening in post haste on the trail of a sheep-herder who robbed him of $750 this afternoon. Gibson was here yester- day and drew $800 from a bank, intending to go into the Fall River country to buy cattle. He stopped at Millvilie, and while aweiting the hour of his Geparture stretched himself out on a card-table in Snow’s Hotel. While he was in the room the sheep- horder entered. Ten minutes later he emerzed and gave Snow a $20 gold piece to change. He was known to have been pen- niless before and tuis fact, coupled with his long stay in the room with Gibson, aroused the suspicion of the hotel man, who went in, awakened Gibson and asked him if his money was all right. Gibson replied, *Yes, I guess so,” and felt in his pocket, to discover that he had been robbed of his gack containing $750. The robber endeavored to steal his watch, and had succeeded in breaking the chain. Snow told Gibson of the sheep-nerder’s visit to the room, and Gibson started out in pursuit, arrivinz here at 8 o’clock to- night. It1is thought that the sheep-herder went to Anderson, and officers will pursue bim thither to-night. - Ll A N Suspend:d by the L. 4. W.

SAN DIEGO, Car, Aug. 28.—Condace Bilis, the 10-year-old daughter o# William Ellis, living near Fallbrook, was probably fatally burned this afterncon. Duringthe absence of her mother at a neighbor’s she got too near the stove and her clothing was ignited. She rushed creaming from the house up the hill to where her father was workine. The flames completely envel- oped her, burring off her hair and scorch- ing ber faca and body shockingly. Her father was also severely burned in extin- guishing the flames, e Testing a Grain-Inspedtion Law. SEATTLE, WasH., Aug. 28.—The State grain-inspection law of 1895 is to be tested in the Supreme Court and a decision is expected within three months. Under the law there have been inspectors in Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane and they graded all grain as soon as it was un- loadea. Although the fees charged have been small it is claimed that they have been so large that they have effectually driven the grain trade to otber points—in some cases out of the State. Three sal- aried officers will be thrown out if the law is declared unconstitutional. —_— Commits dwicide on a Train. LORDSBURG, N.

Cardinal Wiil Be Worn in All Games Played During the Season. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Aug. 28.—Manager Switzer of the football team has announced that there will be several innovations this year in the matter ot football paraphernalia, At the suggestion ot Coach Brooke he has decided to have knickerbockers made of canvas instead of moleskin, which is much more expensive and of no better seryice. -The University Ciub manager has aecided to adopt the same plan. Stanford players are also to wear cardinal jerseys and stockings. In former years these have been worn only in the big game, but this year they will be donred during the whole season. There will no doubt be several very good football players in the freshman class. Perhaps the most prominent will be ‘Wyckoff, an Oakland high-school gradu- ate, who is undoubtedly the most reliable fuliback on the coast. Altbough Wyckoff is such a prominent player, it is very probable that he will not take any active part in the colle.e games, as his wife ob. jects to his being a footbail hero. Pnil Wadsworth, the plucky little cap- taic of the undefeated Belmont team, will also enter wiih the incoming c.ass. He will probably try for a position behind the line. Another strong candidate for a back-of- the-line position will be young Dole of Riverside, a brother of Stanford’s crack all-arouna athlete, C. S. Dole. Charlie Dole says that his brother has played fuoli | and half back on the Riverside High Echool team, He believes that he has tne making of 2 good man. Asall of the Doie boys are fine athletes, the work of this one will be watched with a good deal of interest. i So far, the most prominent men for line positions are the two Gilman brothers, They are both over six feet tall and are heavy but active men. They were guards | on last year's Manzinita Hall team. O theold players, probably the entire last year's team, with the exception of Williams, center; Straight, right end, and | Seawright, left half-back, will return. For Williamsg’ position at center, Burnett ’00, | the center on last year’s victorious fresh- ! man team, is the most prominent cau- didate. Stanford experts regard him as tbe most promising of the newer lot of vlayers. He played against Heff Williams | all last season and received special coach- ing from Cross. | For Ssawright’s position at hall-back there seems to be no very promineat can- didate, as Dole Lkas announced that he does not intend to try for the team this | year. Heis an assistant in ihe library, | and says thai he cannot spare the time | necessary ior practice. While it 1s to be regretied that be 1s not to come ouf, | irack men are glad of his decision, as bs 1s by far too valuable an atblete to run | the risk of some footba.l injury. With | Dole laid up, Stanford’s track team wou!d | i be very mucu weakened. Fisker, last year’s bucking bhalf-back, will probabiy try for his oid pesition. Ray Smith, 93, and Garth Parker, ’99, will tight i1t out for end, with the chances about even. Fickert and Carl will no doubt play their old positions as guards, and Chet Thomas and Jack Rice are the most prominent men for their former po- sitions of tackles. They will bave to work .ard, however, to hold them, as there are | several men capable of giving tbem a| good light for the coveted positions, Mur- | phy and McIntosh will probably again struggle for the quarter-back’s position. Captpin Cotton 1s expected hire ¢n the 3d of September. ROWGYISM NOT WANTED. Fresident Jordan Seeking to Eliminate an Undesirable Element From Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Aug. 28,—The applications for admission to the university are pouring in so rapidly that itis feared that the buildings wiil not be able to accommodate the number of new students. In order to weed out undesira- ble applicants, President Jordan has posted the following notice on the buile- tin board: To W. W. Thoburn, Chairman Committee on Students' Afairs: The number ot persons seeking the advantages of the university is | greater than we can care for. To do the best jor those who are in earnest the university facuity can waste no effort on the idle, dis- sipated and undeserving. Itis a part of the duty of your commitiee to eliminate un- worthy persons from the rollsof the univer- sity classes. You have power to request the withdrawal of any student whose presence for any reason seems undesirable. It is desired that you should exercise this authority, not only on those found guilty of specific scts of immor- ality or dishonesty, but on any whose per- sonal influence is” objectionable, Those who are diss:pated, profligate, tricky or foul of tongue shall be removed, though no specific ect of wrongdoing mey be charged against them. It is desirable, also, tiat you should look somewhat to the welcome of students who subject themselves to unusual privations. An education gnined at the cost of a shattered 'm is not worth anything, and your committee is given autnoriiy to check excesses of zeal for advancement as yon che ck other excesses. DAVID 8. JORDAN. In an interview with THE CALL corre- spondent Dr. Jordan spoke as follows con- cerning rushes: “The faculty is opposed to thai form of rowdyism known as class rushes, and es- peciaily to the barbaric custom of ‘haz- ing.’ Any students anxious to lead in such «ffairs will probably find that tkeir presence is not desired at the university. “If they are ‘sophs’ tuey may bLe al- lowed to graduate with the freshmen, and if freshmen they may finish their courses still sooner. The faculty does not intend to maintain a police force, and usually al- lows the students todo as they wish ex- cept when they wisu to do what we do not want them to."” JUBGE McK:NNA'S DILEHNA.

Queen Christina Moved by the Ap- peal of American Women—In- terviewed in Frison. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 28.—A special cable from San Sebastian, Spain, quotes Minister Taylor as saying in effect that the Spanish Government had ordered, if Evangelina Cisneros was in the bad place mentioned, that she be removed to a con- vent, placed under the care of religious sisters and treated with all consideration. This is a result of the appesis of Ameri- can wom~n. Minister Taylor believes that Evange- lina is now out of personal danger. The Herald’s special correspondent at Huvana telegraphs about his meeting Miss Cisneros at the vprison. He says: ““As Senorita Cisneros smiled ,out at me through the rusty bars of the prison door I was struck by the hope- less expression of her face.

On his return the Duke will take Woodford to jresent | his credentials to Queen Christina.
