Golden State Parlor No. 5, Native Daughters of the Golden West, held its Christmas festival last night in the ban- quet hall of the Native Sons’ bullding. Their Christmas tree at one end of the hall, made bright with many lights, was loaded down with numberless toys and goodies for the little ones who were formed in line to advance one by one so as to receive from *“good Mr. Santa Claus.” who for the occasion was per- sonated by Miss M, Tietjen, what was in- tended for them. e children, to the number of more than 100; were thus made happy.

Erwin, a 20 to 1 shot, finished well the last furlong, nosing out Flamora for the place. Tappan, from the stable of Frank Doss, was the only other winning favorite. The disappointments were Fine Shot, Frank Bell, Rosormonde and Mocorito. In the last dash on the card Afamada defeated a half dozen of fast ones, at the same time equaling the California record for six furlongs of 1:12%;. The brown mare had Jenkins on her back and was quoted s good as 6 to 1. Leading from the jump, she galloped in two lengths ahead of Mo- corito, the favorite. Sly was third, less than a length farther away. Barney Schrelber furnished the first fa- vorite in Fine Shot. The colt showed speed but backed up, running unplaced. May Gertrude, the well backed second cholce, won cleverly from The Echo. The much-talked-about Frank Bell started in the second event at five and a haif furlongs, with Eddie Jones up.

COCHRAN INJURED IN PRACTICE California’s ach Had Two Ribs Fractured in a Scrimmage. Larry Cochran, the famous coach of California’s victorious football team for two years, veteran of four trying sea- sons of gridiron war, s among the foot- ball injured of '9. In the practice of yes- terda! afternon preparatory to meeting the Carlisle Indians the master of Pig- skin science, while playing on the scrub team against the Berkeley 'varsity, was jambed to the ground under heavy Inter- ference: that caused the breaking of two ribs. The injury s a severe one and has confined him to his bed. He will not be able to further coach the Berkeley eleven, and it is doubtful if he will be permitted to attend the Carlisle-California game. The injury was the result of over-en- thusiasm on the part of the coach. East- ern coaches on Western gridirons have seldom donned thelr football togs In teaching the men the fine points of play. Perhaps the snappy December weather stirred the blood of Cochran to attempt old-time deeds and to demonstrate that he could put into practice that which for two years he has preached with such good effect. At any rate on Monday afternoon, for the first time since the memorablé Yale-Princeton game of '97, when Old Nas- nau's splendid but crippled team, which Cochran captained, was beaten by a 6-0 score, he jumped Into actual play and tackled and ran down on punts as in | other years. Fou vs of solld work hae olled the Berkeley 'varsity machinery, and yesterday the action was like that of Thanksgiving day. It was smash and bang against the second eleven, with Hall, Smith and Kaarsberg under way like pistol shots. Cochran was out at end on the scrub, and on first eleven's style of attack wasn't getting enough work to even remind him of the old Princeton days, when Yale backs “failed to gain a yard around him.” Perhaps the fact that it was Cochran out there caused the quarter to force the play on other points. At any rate the mighty end chafed under Inaction and dared the backs to send the play his way. “Glve me something to do out here,” he shouted. “Take a chance at an old ‘has been’ and see how it feels.” There was & quick signal, three lightning backs the pride of Princeton an: Smith, with the ball, made his distance, while Cochran went out of the play. Percy Hall’s muscular effort, with 19 pounds back of it, had placed the great coach hors de combat at the bottom of a pile, and incidentally smashed two ribs—per- haps, if fate would have it, the similar pair to those of Captain Chet Murphy, that suffered the same injury before Thanksgiving day. Cochran was fmme- diately observed to be in a bad plight and was taken from the field. The injury, at any event, is particularly hard luck for Cochran personally, com- ing as it does long after his active grid- iron days are ‘mssed. and to the Berkeley team is equally unfortunate, as the su- {ierb skill and coaching spirit of ihe Princeton man was counted upon as a big element In the work of preparing the first California eleven to meet a team typical- ly Eastern and up-to-date In its strength and style of play. HOTEL MAN HOVERING NEAR DEATH’S DOOR M. M. HARTMAN IS A VICTIM OF OPIUM POISONING. Believed to Have Attempted to End His Life Because of Recent Financial Trouble. OAKLAND, Dec. 21.—M. M. Hartman, proprietor of the Crellin Hotel, dled to- night, presumably from oplum poisoning, and it is rumored that he committed sui- clide. Hartman was found this afternoon suf- fering from morphine or laudanum pois- oning In his room in the hotel. Dr. Frank L. Adams and Dr. Todd were called and ‘worked over him until midnight, when he dled. Members of the family declare his death was due to accidentally taking an over-dose of medicine. Hartman’'s affairs have become en- tangled in the last few months. He is sald to have been playing the races, but it 1s certain that he has been borrowing money wherever he could and his hotel lease finally became involved. He secured a considerable amount of money from J. R. Watson, a mining man, and about four weeks ago Hartman incorporated his In- terest in the Crellin Hotel in a campany and practically resigned its management. J. R. Watson took a lot of stock in the company for the money loaned Hartman, and Hartman turned the rest of his stock over to his two daughters, and these daughters assumed the active manage- ment of the hotel. Watson and his daugh- ters were in harmony as to the manage- ment of the hotel, but Hartman, who was over 60 years of age, seemed to feel his reverses very keenly. There was not the slightest effort upon the part of either the daughters or Watson to do otherwise than help save what was left of the old man's fortune. He remained In the hotel and even nominally retained the title of man- er. l‘{l'here was some difficulty between the new management and Mrs. Archer, a woman who owns Don Gara and several other horses. They demanded that Mrs. Archer ghould pay her board or leave the house. She produced a receipt for three mon! rent In advance from Hartman, but the new hotel management declared that there was something irregular about it. Mrs. Archer employed ex-Judge A. L. Frick to protect her interests, and much trouble ensued. I said that these troubles, together with his financial re- verses, preyed upon the old man's mind until he determined to end his life. —_—— Kruger-Victors Wedding.

At & special meeting of Ingleside Cours- ing Club members in Pythian Castle last night a series of resolutions were pre- sented which, if adopted, would have tended to upset the amicable relations ex- isting between the assoclations promoting the sport in and about. this city. Accord- Ing to some of the speakers it would have made of the adherents of one park out- laws in the eyes of the American Cours- ing Board, the governing body in this country.

The Inflammatory resolutions presented contained the threat that unless the delegates as elected be admitted as the representatives of the club it would recall its delegates and would ask them to refuse to participate in any manner in the deliberations and work of the California Coursing Commit- tee. This meant in effect the cutting away from all authority. Wiser counsels pra. vailed, and after a long debate it was de- cided that the four delegates seated on the coursing committee present the case to the other delegates and ask that the | Ingleside Coursing Club delegation as ap- pointed by the club be accepted.

Some new light Is now thrown on the planet Mars bf‘ Profezsor Ernst Haeckel, a_genuine philosopher. in the new book, “World Problems.” He says: “If we assume that Mars is inhabited ‘we must assume that the men and women whose home is on the glnnel are not such as we, but of a far higher type. They may resemble us exterlorly, but they are free from our physical defects and excel us {n strength and gracefulness. It is n the intellectual sphere, however. that their superfority is most clear'y shown. If there are human beings on this planet it is extremely probable that they far sur- Fus ordinary men and women in Intel- igence.” Another question often asked {s: “‘Wiy we ever Le able to communicate with the inhabitants of distant planets?”’ Professor Haeckel's reply is that there is very |it- tle probability of any direct commun'ca- tion ever being established. His reasons because the h;m’th is such a great di; tance from Mars and other planets an because the condition of the air between the earth and these planets is such as to render direct communication by any nos- means at present known to us impossible. ‘With all his inventive genius and perfect . machinery man can move in a train at an outside speed of sixty miles an hour, anl that he cannot ke:rl up for grea o tances.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Hopes for an ami- cable settlement of the differences which have arisen from the old differential squabble In the East are dimmer now than ever before. The situation has tak- en another turn for the worse and it is not impossible that the second-closs ra from this city to San Franecisco soon will be shaved, if not actually slashed. Local passenger men have discovered Boston- San Franclsco tickets in the Chicago mar- kets which are being offered at rates low- er than the regular Chicago-San Francis- co rate. The Vanderbilts and their West- ern connections have openly expressed their determination to secure the same rate from New England points to Pacifie Coast points as that offered by the differ- ential lines. At a meeting held by representatives of transcontinental lines here to-day a com- mittee, composed of E. E. McCormick and Edward Hawley of the Southern ific, George T. Nicholson of the Santa Fe, 8. Eustis of the Burlington, W. B. Knis- kern of the Northwestern, John Sebastian of the Rock Island, George H. Heafford of the St. Paul, Robert Kerr of the Cana- dian Paeclfic, F. H. Lord of the Great Western and Frank I. Whitney of the Great Northern, was appointed to meet with representatives of the New England lines January 4 in Boston, and to report the result of the meeting to the transcon- tinental men in this city five days later. The chief objective of the Boston meeting is to determine the llrrnflh of those who want to settle the trouble amicably. In to-day’s meeting the Buriington, the Rock Island, the St. Paul and the North- western—the lines that are boycotted by the Boston and Maine and the Fitchbur, roads—give all other roads to understand that they would stand by the Boston and Albany if the Santa Fe, the Alton and the Missouri Pacific continued to give thelr support west of Chicago to the Boston and Malne. e BACTERIA Communicated by Kissing May Cause Teeth to Decay. Physiclans started an anti-kissing cru- sade several years ago, telling fearsome stories of the transfer of bacteria from lip to 1ip, but whatever of truth and of dan- ger there was in the warnings of the med- jcal men was overwhelmed by the deluge of fun poured out all over the country by the men who make their living by writing funny things. In the meantime kissing lost none of its fascination, and every- body, including the bacteria, continued to be.\"a:vppgomu in the dentist with more fearsome tales, and it seems only right to let him have his innings. “Decay of the teeth, or, as we call it, carfes of the teeth,' says a New York dentist, “is due to the presence of bacte- ria. Bacteria can be conv to mouth by kissing. Therefore, no mat- ter how fine a set of teeth you may have, if you kiss @ person who has decayed teeth you will soon need my services. A young woman whom 1 know, and who by inheritance possessed a marvelously per- fcet set of teeth, and was robust and of extremely cleanly habits, used to come to me and have her teeth cleaned when only the closest scrutiny could detect the stains which she wished removed. Up to the age of 19 she never needed a fililng. About that time she brought to my office @ young man whom she introduced as her flance. He wished my professional serv- ices, and 1 gave him an appointment. An examination disclosed a filthy mouth. It was necessary to use corrective agents before 1 could tolerate him. “Had it not been that he was engaged to marry a girl whom I knew to be ideally hygienic, I should not have given to the cleansing of his teeth the amount of attention which I did, because I reco, nized in him a man careless of his teet and breath, who would be unappreciative of my efforts. It required three sittings to get his teeth Into a semblance of clean- liness, and then he refused to have the gaping carious caverns filled. I remon- strated. I spoke of the perfect testh of his intended. He laughed carelessely and asked what difference it made to her. [ explained. 1 could do no more. They were married, and befors a year elapsed T was obliged to insert seven or eight fill- ings in her teeth. She now has a full set of artificial teeth. “1 knew a young man who had his teeth ruined by keeping company with a girl who had unclean teeth. She was good- looking, but he did not marry her—some- thing preve His teeth have not de- cayed since. —_— e————— BELL RUNG ON THE PREACHER A Serious Duty Imposed on Church Members in a Michigan Town. *“You remember the chestnut bell of course?” #aid the man who had got out of Chicago with only the loss of ore of hs shoe heels. Well, 1 was greatly taken with it at ore time, and when I set out to visit my old home in Michigan I bought a dozen bells to take along. Nobody in the town had heard of them, but [ hadn't worn_one over a day when the people caught_on and I was falrly besieged, When Sunday came I prepared to attend church llke a dutiful son and at the roper time mother and I -vere seated in Rcr pew. Just what ihe text was I can't remember, but the minister had scarcely announced it when six of my chestnut bells sounded among the congregation. “The good man didn’t mind them in the least, but went ahead with his work. H was rung up on his hymn, and he was rung up every minute or two on his ser- mon; and thoufh there was somethin, amusing about it I was also half-scare out of my boots. As I had brought the bells to town I didn’t know but what he'd hold me responsible and open out on me. About the middle of his sermon he sal something about Jonah, and eleven o those bells went ‘t-1-n-, then calmly nml: = ple who are {inglin keys kindly jingle a little lonflrl - “1 was thankful to get out of that church without a calamity,” continued the bell man, “and I didn’t do any laughin, till the next day.
