A black pall of sorrow will be thrown to be held through out the city to-day in honor and com- memoration of Thanksgiving day. The memory and heroism of those who suf- fered in the crumbling walls of the old Baldwin Hotel will be the sad toplc ws- cussed around the festal board in hun- dreds of homes. The attention of the public, however, will be diverted from the contemplation of the awful disaster by many of the amusements and events of interest which will be given through the course of the day. The great football game at Central Park between Berkeley and Stanford will be the center of enthusiasm and at- traction. Already the city has donned the crimson and the blue and gold and now awaits with impatience the result of the exciting contest on the gridiron. The game will begin promptly at o’'clock. The gates to the park, however, 9 will be opened to the public at 1L o'clock in the morning to accommodate the thousands who are in po: jon of tickets with seats before the commence- ment of the game. The theatricals this year, which are to be held at Odd Fellows’ Hall, will be un- usually interesting. Nearly a score of student actors have been in training for some time under the coaching of George Hermance. A farce “The Football Commissioner From France,” will be presented under the management of Birney Donnell. Therewill be specialties from some of Berkel and guitar clubs of the umiv -ollege selections, and th orchestra of college music ce is a very clever a playwright graduate, brimful of laughable s E: S. the story of a Berkeley professor takes lodgers and unexpectedly becomes the host of the football commissioner rom France, who has come from the universities of his native country to learn the gridiron sport and introduce it to French students. Amusing complications arise from an army major’s pursuit of his wife, who he believes has run away with the young Frenchman; the latter, however, being in love with Ucie, the Berkeley beauty, daughter of the professor.

The San Francisco Fruit and Flower Mission, as usual, will give a dinner to- day to the needy poor.

I know that we will have to play a hard, flerce game to win out. We are not overconfident and do not underrate the ability of our oppo- nents. I know that Stanford will place a team in the field that will be strong and courageous. If we should win I think the score will be & small one. Victory is our end and not a stone will be left unturned in the struggle for it. The rest has put us in fine shape with not a sick man on the team.

The line s ordinarily strong and the backs are good, average men, playing together in much better style than a few days ago. There Is really nothing more to say before the battle to-morrow, the result of which will prove the superfority of one of the college teams over the other and carry with it the cham- pionship of the State.

In isometric thermals the prejudgment is northwesterly winds, with sky occaslonally overclouded. Translates this means falr weather, and the enthu- siasts are happy. The last conference of coaches and managers took place at the Palace Hotel last night, the object being to come to some conclusion in regard to the interpre- tation of the rules. All matters were de- cided satisfactorily. Harvey is to be um- pire and Goodwin is to be referee through- out the game. In a few hours the two elevens that have been in training for three months will meet on the Recreation Park grid- iron in the final struggle of the football season. California pronounces herself in fine shape, and Stanford gives an echo to her voice. All that remains now is the signal for the clash of arms and the bat- tle of 1898 will be ushered in. Packing their tents quietly and secretly the Stanford team, with its retinue of enthusiasts, sidled out of Congress Springs yesterday morning and started for San Francisco. They traveled by stage to Mountain View and then boarded the flyer, which arrived here at 4 o'clock. The eleven is now quartered at the Pleas- anton, where it will remain until the game to-day. As its arrival was not ex- pected until this morning the cardinal did not receive much of a welcome upon entering the city. This as just what the managers desired, however, as they did not wish any rally or peace-disturbing, thinking it would be to the team’s advan- tage to remain quiet and unseen. The Stanford eleven looks to be in the best of health, and in the full vigor of its physical strength. Not a man 1s injured, with perhaps the single exception of Free- man, but his injuries are not severe enough to prevent his playing. All the others are anxious for the fray, and all that troubles their equanimity is a desire to be in the midst of things. California’s team will not leave Berke- ley until this morning. The men will come over on the tug Reliance and go at once to the St. Nicholas, where they will re- main untll the nour of the game. No re- ception, welcome or rally will mark their arrival at the hotel for the same reasons that induced the Stanford directors to conduct the team to this city umder the cover of a surprise. There is, of course, no way of telling just how the cat is going to jump, but {n all athletic events the betting generally indicates the direction in which the ma- jority of people think the cat may make up her mind to move. If the odds given rule the predictions of the wise, or to be more correct. if the knowing ones give odds as a result of their predictions, then California will certainly go on the fleld to-day a favorite over Stanford. The boys from across the bay sent $1700 over to the city early this week. Charley New- man was commissioned to get it on, but up to last night had only placed $300 of the amount and that at 10 to 8, with Stanford on the short end. When the un- dergraduate body from Palo Alto arrives this morning the betting may liven up un- der the excitement usually attendant on 2 big game. The men from Stanford wiil have no difficulty in getting their gold covered whenever they show its color. The public has made California the fa- vorite and the public controls the bet- ting. Coach Cochrane sald last night that it was a foolish wager for any man to offer more than even money on any team. California. Tiptoe for the B R R 3 CAPTAIN FISHER EXPECTS STANFORD WILL WIN The Stanford eleven is in fine fet- tle and will give a goood account of itself in the big game. We hate improved in team play during the last week and the team has got to- gether for united play. We will play football that is full of deter- mination and the California eleven will know that it has been in a game when the Wwhistle blows at the end of the second half. I think we have a fair chance to win the game and I know that the team will do all in its power to effect the desired result—another Stan- ford victory. It is the intention of the Stanford eleven to play clean football and I feel sure that Cali- fornia will do the same. When we line up to-morrow the public will see a game of ball which will be full of spirit and determination. DO R R That Cochrane has won the affections of the California team is without dispute. Never has a coach recelved such evidences of the good will of students at the Uni- versity of California. Last Sunday he was presented with a pipe handsomely deco- Tated and now comes a further memento of California’s appreciation. Cochrane re- celved a split-second watch, open face, With gold case, from the student body last night, and he is the happlest man in four Counties. Still with all his exuberance of feeling and kindliness toward the men of the blue and gold, with whom he has been assoclating during the past months, it is impossible to drag out of him an op- timistic _prognostication of the game which will be played to-day. O e e + COACH GARRET COCHRANE PROUD OF HIS TEAM D R S S G R S ey R R R R R S e S R L T It may appear strange, but T have never called a football game In my life, and I fear to venture a pre- judgment of the intercollegiate con- test to-morrow between the Uni- versity of California and Stanford. I can say this much, however: The California eleven 1s In splendid physical condition and is capable of playing good football. 1 have given my most earnest efforts to the building of a team, and unless something unexpected happens I fecl satisfled that the blue and gold athletes will give a good account of themselves on the field. The condition is certainly there. Inorder to win the team will be forced to play fierce, spirited football and not slow up for a single minute. The morrow will tell the tale—whether the blue and gold flag or the car- dinal will wave triumphant. 3 P R R R R R RS B S I T RS R R S ST SS SO SIP PY limited to thirty-two.

He heard no conversation between ‘he murderer and his victim, but saw Rosser suddenly reach into his pocket, draw his revolver and, still holding Walsh by the | shoulder, lean over the counter and fire the fatal shot. He then started toward the door in the rear of the market, but turned and sent another bullet crashing through the wall on the other side of the building, He then fled, fell down the rear steps of the market, got up again and continued his flight until apprehended at the corner of Stevenson and Third streets All the witnesses gave testimony to the same effect.

Hayward was ac- companied by Dr. I© Knorp, 1218 Mis- sion street. Baxter took them to police head- uarters, where Hayward told his story. e sald his wife gave birth to the .aby last Monday morning about 1 o'clock, Dr. Knorp attending her.

GOT HIS WORK PLANNED HERE NEGOTIATING FOR IMMENSE SUPPLIES OF WINE. Represented Himself as an Agent of the Argentine Republic and Big Steamship Com- panies. Amadeo Horace, a native of Chile, who has been victimizing a number of promi- nent people in the leading cities of the country, was arrested here yesterday by Detectives Egan and T. B. Gibson and taken to police headquarters. When the detectives reached the corner of Larkin and McAllister streets Horace made a break for liberty. He dashed up Ash avenue,the detectives following and blow- ing their police whistles. Policeman C. Green happened to be leaving the Cen- tral station at the time and he soon over- hauled the fugitive. In New York Horace assumed the name of Robert Alberto; in Baltimore, Robert Redeschi; in Chicago, Robert Armenino, and in this city A. Raggio. "He made his appearance in New York about three months ago, representing himself as an agent of the Argentine Republic, sent there to purchase cannon and small arms in secret on account of the troubles be- tween the republic and Chile. He put up at a first-class hotel and soon succeeded in swindling Frank K. Cace, a shipowner of Baltimore, who happened to be visit- ing in New York, out of $00 by pretend- ing to buy a ship from him. He also got $300 from M. Piva of the firm of Etienne Givernaud & Bro., silk merchants, Green | street, New York, by pretending to be able to build sawmills for him in Argen- tina. These were only two of his many victims. In Baltimore he represented that he was there to purchase steamers for the Argentine Republic, and in Chicago he was the son of Robert Armenino, a Wealthy merchant of Genoa, Italy, and iness He arrived here about ten days ago and soon got to work. He entered into a contract with President Sbarboro of the Italian-Swiss colony to supply him With 8000 barrels of wine, to be shipped to Argentina, and negotiated with Wil- frid B. Chapman, commission merchant, for a vessel to carry the cargo. He also contracted with Br Severns of Sonoma County and C. Carpi & Co., Sacramento street, for large supplies of wine. He sought an introduction to Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works and entered into negotiations for the building of a large steel steamship. (‘?\Xef Lees learned of his work through a copy of the Italian edition of the New York Herald of November 12, which inti- mated that he was heading for this city. The Chief placed himself in comunica- tion with the swindled firms and others and satisfied himself that the man was a there. fraud after _he _ personally ascer- tained that he had arrived here. Then . he put Detectives Egan and Gibson on the case, with the result of the swindler's arrest. He admitted to the Chief that he was a swindler, but at pres- ent the Chief does not know what ‘o do With him as he has not done anything here to place himself within the meshes of the law. He will be detained till it is seen whether he is wanted_in the East. Horace says he was born in Santiago, Chile, and that he is 31 years of age. He was educated in the Poiytechnic College, Genoa, Ttaly, and was an engineer and draughtsman. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
