SAN RAFAEL'S GREAT GOLFING TOURNAMENT Large Crowd Views the Sport at the Hotel Grounds—The Prize ‘Winners. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 9.—The Hotel Ra- fael golf links were the Mecca of soclety folks in large numbers to-day, their pil- grimage being to witness the open han- | dicap tournament held by the San Rafael Golf Club. The programme for the various events extends over two days, and four of the principal competitions | will take place to-morrow. In all the handicap competitions the scores were piaced in sealed envelopes and given into the hands of the Green committee. The winners will therefore not be known un- til to-morrow evening, In the boys' and girls' handicap Pro- fessor Tetley’'s coaching first became manifest. Clement Arnold, whose score | was 102 at the last tournament, came out | to-day with 85. There were twenty en- tries In the ladies’ handicap competition. Miss Edith McBean scored 71, Mrs. Gil- man J. Brown 75, and Miss Cornella O'Conner 79. These scores were also sealed. In the men’s handicap competition, 75- yard approach, Gilman P. Brown, a young player, beat the old San Francis- co veterans with an average approach | of 15 feet 9. inches. Richard Parker and Baron Alex von Schroeder also did well. In the men's competition F. L.

Mrs. Brown won by driv- | 227 feet, carry clean, with a | roll of 130 yards. Miss O'Connor's drive of 213 feet, carry clean, when measured | equally good, but with the roll, was missed the prize. An orchestra furnished music and re- which was gayvly decorated. To- morrow being the end of the tournament a better attendance, if anything, is ex- pected than that of to-day. - GROUND TO ATOMS. Chicago Professor's Awful Death on a Santa Fe Train. DENVER, Sept. 9.—A special to the Times from Colorado Springs says: Professor D. S.

S.—Alberni, a mining town on the west coast of Vancou- ver Island, the center of a large and rap- idly growing mining district, has been threatened with destruction by forest fires for meveral days. News received this morning says the fires are still raging and that many barns containing hay and grain have been destroyed. A volunteer fire brigade is working day and night to save the town from destruc- tion, but grave fears are entertained that unless rain comes or the wind blows away from the town it will be destroyed. No lives have been lost as yet. e e Clever Ball at Grass Valley. GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 9.—The first of the series of five games between the Mon- archs and Ploneers of this city was won by the former in the cleverest and most exciting contest ever seen here on the dia- mond, by a score of 6 to 5. Whalen and Coflin were the battery for the winning team, and Overmyer and Hanssen for the losers. The Ploneers did the heaviest stick work, while the Monarchs found it difficult to connect with Overmyer, the Ploneers losing by careless base running and overthrows. 9 L, RISKED HER LIF T0 SAVE A CHILD Story of Heroism From Shasta County. BOY TUMBLES INTO A WELL A MAN DECLINES TO ATTEMPT HIS RESCUE. Mrs. Kate Rose Descends Sixty-Five Feet on a Frail Robe and Brings Up the Little Fellow. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Sept. 9.—A story of an act of heroism that is seldom equaled by a woman reached here this morning from Fall River Mills, a small settle- ment in Nortleastern Shasta. A party of ladies went to a neighbor- ing ranch to gather wild plums, taking their children with them. The wife of Dr. M. M. Rowley and her four-year- old son Cecil were among the plum- gatherers. The ladies went to the farm house for a drink of water. Some re- | pairs were being made at the well and it had been left partly uncovered. While the women were standing about talk- ing little Cecil ventured too near the edge and losing his balance pitched headlong to the bdttom of the well, a distance of sixty-five feet. The ladies listened intently for a moment and then heard the screams of the child. A scene of the wildest confusion en- sued. Mrs. Rowley, the mother, was almost frantic and insisted on going down on the rope. Mrs. Kate Rose wanted to go in her stead, but as the rope was regarded as too light to bear her weight she was persuaded not to try it A man who was working near by was called, but he declined to risk his life by venturing into the well on the frail rope. Mrs. Rose could not be restrained any longer. She bravely lowered herself into the depths, where she found Cecll hanging to a projecting rock with his head just out of the water. Taking the boy in her arms she braced herself against the walls of the well, fastened the frail rope securely about herself and burden and was drawn slowly to the surface. The depth of water in the well was five feet. The little fellow’s injuries consisted of several bad bruises on the body and a frightful gash on the scalp, requiring nine stitches to close the wound. It was not until the following day that the extent of his injuries could be ascertained, and then the good news went out that he was not badly hurt. PIONEER MISSIONARY OF THE FIJIS DEAD After Fifty-Four Years’ Labor on the Islands, Father Breheret Is No More. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 9.—The steamer Miowera, which reached port this aven- ing, brings news from Suva of the death of Rev. Jean Baptiste Breheret, who was the founder of the Roman Catholic mis- slon, and, in fact, the ploneer missionary in the Fiji Islands. It is fifty-four years ago since the dead priest went to the isl- ands, and he remained at his post there till his death. At the reverend f‘ather's advent at Suva cannibalism was ram- pant. The funeral was largely attended, a vast gathering of all creeds—Christian, Jew, Greek and infidel—all alike being anxlous to show their resgecl for the good and noble man who built up the churches of the Fijis. ———————— CURRENT GIRDLES THE GLOBE.

A great many different schemes have been proposed and some of them have been tried for lessening the work of carting farm produce into town. The traction engine is used for that pur- pose to a considerable extent in Eng- land, although in America very little hauling is done therewith. Then again there hds been a good deal of talk of laying broad, guttered rails on the com- mon highway for the wheels of the or- dinary wagon to run in. This is a rather more popular idea and has a promising future in our own country. In some parts of the United States there are trolley lines reaching out through the rural regions and carrying not only passengers, but also mail and express matter. Inside city limits in many places special trolley cars are made for local postal and express ser- vice, and in the vicinity of very large cities one will sometimes find that a certain style of low-platform cars are provided by the steam roads for carry- ing into town the heavy trucks of the market gardeners laden with fresh vegetables. And now still another plan is proposed. A Toledo man, named Bonner, has de- vised a speclal truck which is designed to run on a street railway and to carry a farm or express wagon. Inasmuch as the ordinary vehicle would not fit the truck Mr. Bonner thinks it better to have his own wagon as well as his rallway truck. He has taken out a patent on the idea and has obtained a franchise from the city of Toledo for running his wagons through the streets. As soon as he has manufactured and sold a number of his special wagons to the express companies in town and has also had a few of his trucks made he will be in a position to take the wagons on the trucks through such streets as have trolley lines. The trucks are intended to be coupled to a trolley car and are not provided with electric motors of their own. After the city service is fairly started Mr. Bonner will endeavor to secure rural patronage. Of course it will be necessary for such farmers as wish to take advantage of his plan to have the right sort of wagons and to haul them by horse power near enough to town to reach the trolley tracks. But in Ohio there are numerous trol- ley roads extending from one town to another and attaining a length of ten, fifteen and even twenty-five miles. If a farmer only lives along one of these routes he will not need to haul his wagons more than a few rods. Indeed, if he has a switch and sidetrack and loads his wagons while they stand on the latter he will have an easy task before him. The rapid development of: trolley lines through the rural districts nowadays makes Mr. Bonner’s idea an interesting one. There Is no telling how far it is likely to become serviceable to American farmers.—Boston Evening Transcript. - ——— ALLIGATORS AS PETS. “People are constantly bringing small alligators north,” said J. Atkinson of New Brunswick, N. J., the other day, “and the creatures are as constantly dying because they do not receive the proper care. The heat and food neces- sary for them are the things to be con- sidered. I no longer try to bring the smallest specimens; they are too deli- cate. But a pair a foot or two long are strong enough to feed and bear some change .of temperature. Such a pair | 1 received some time ago and raised successfully. They were nacked in wads of cotton in a large perforated box and arrived in good condition. | “The home prepared for them was a | large deal table, in the center of which a square hole was made. Into this hole was fitted a deep dripping pan, contain- ing water. One-half of the table, at the end of the pan of water, was cov- ered with fine sand, and at the oppo- site end the boards were left bare. A‘ wire-netting fence about two feet high was nailed around the edge of the ta- ble, with the upper edges turned over an inch or two as a guard to pre- vent the alligator climbing out. The whole was placed not far from a heater, supposed to keep the establishment at a Florida temperature. “Into this as soon as completed the two young saurians were turned, and at once testified their appreciation of the hospitality extended by flopping into the water, where they therzafter spent the larger part of their time. “Grown alligators do not feed in win- ter, but the little ones seem to require food, whether from change of climate or the needs of growth I cannot say. These had fresh meat given them whenever they appeared restless, per- haps once or twice a week, and the avidity with which they snapped it up was amusing. They would jump at Eleces held above them on a fork, quite eedless of the often severe jabs they gave themselves. “The best method of feeding is to throw the meat into the water. They were apparently unable to get any- thing off the bare ground, often crawl- ing over meat lying on the ground, wholly unconscious of its presence. To clean their cage it was only necessary to pen them in one end of their house by means of a board, although when it became necessary to lift them it was perfectly safe to seize them just back of the forepaws. The strength they manifested in lashing with the tail to get free was remarkable. Toward spring, when the days were warmer, their house was set out of doors one day in a severe rainstorm. Instead of liking the downpour, they were fright« ened thoroughly, and made every effort to leap out of their cage. “In summer a pen was arranged in the open air on much the same plan as the deal table, where they flourished so mightily that one night they suc- ceeded In getting out and running away forever.”—New York Tribune. — ——— THE XKANSAS MURDER LAW. Governor Leedy's position that he will not sentence a murderer to death is that assumed by his redecessors since the present evasive and pusillanimous statute concerning murder has been one of the Kansas laws. Governor Leedy—and every intelligent man in Kansas—understands that the object of the law was to abolish capital punishment. That was- the inten- tion of the Legislature, and the Gover- nor belleves In respecting the purpose and desire of the lawmaking body. There may be some day a Kansas Legislature with firmness and consistency enough to substitute for the present law an act de- fining the punishment for murder in the first degree, making it either death or life imprisonment. Until that time comes the Governors of Kansas wil decline to per- form the duty properly devolving on a trial Judge. In other words, if the courts in Kansas do not hai g people, tne Gover- nors will not. Kansas at present has no law fixing absolutely the punishment of a cruel and wicked murderer, and this condition will continue until there shall arise a Legislature with manliness and decency enough to frame a reasonable statute.—Kansas City Star. - ADVERTISEMENTS. | at to 040404 4040404040404040404040460440404040304040404+040+09Tw &Nmmo’o‘o'o’D'OD’QO»VOQMOOOODQQOMDQWQOQOQQQG suits cannot be duplicated elsewhere for less than $15.00 and $30.00. $1500 to $25.00 that are equal in every way, and in some cases superior, $20.00 to $35.00 for. and show the best and newest woolens.

We hear a great deal these days of our puritan fore- fathers, but little concerning the wives and moth- ers who landed at Plymouth Rock and founded that colony which was destined to play such a large part in our history. In 1621 Elder Cushman wrote from Plymouth that he “would not advise any one to come here who were not con- tent to spend their time, labors and endeavors for the benefit of those who shall come after, quitely con- tenting them- selves with such hardships and difficul- ties as shall fall upon them.” ‘What self-renunciation and heroic purpose was this! They drowned witches to be sure, but that was no part of their puritanism. It is to the puritan women we owe so much for that spirit in our people which gives them the fortitude to endure hardship and stake life and fortune for their convictions. The American women of to-day have the spirit of their puritan mothers, but their constitutions are not rugged or able to en- dure half the hardships e Wew Eng- land ancestors. Very often they are run- down with weaknesses and irregularities peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain upon their vitality makes them chronic in- valids. Many women hesitate to go to their family physician, because they dread the local examinations so generally insisted upon by practitioners. Such women should write Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., giving a full description of their symptoms, history, etc., so that he can give them the best possible medical advice. If Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescri tion seems to suit the case the Doctor will say so. If not, then he will give medical advice which will put such women on the rapid road to recovery and health.
