OAKLAND, Jap. 24.—The Mayflower Club gave a benefit entertainment this evening at Maple Hall for the Good Will Kindergarten, which was a success in every way.

BERKELEY, Jan. 2i.—Forty-eight new students have been admitted to the Uni- versity of California this term, a consid- erably smaller number than last Janu. ary. The entrants are divided among the varlous colleges as follows: Letters, men 3, women 2; soclal sclences, men 7, wo- men 12; commerce, men 4; agriculture, men 3; chemistry, men 3; civil engineer- ing, men 5; mechanics, men 6; mining, men 4. inence now left. In the Church of Eng- land there is to-day no one whose fame in the pulpit approaches that attained even by Canon Liddon; and when we come to the political platform, the lost art of oratory is still more observable. Lord Rosebery is unquestionably our fin- est orator in a political sense to-day, but his influence in moving audiences is in power as water unto wine when com- pared with the eloquence of a GladStone or a Bright. Mr. Chamberiain is a de- bater rather than an orator, and Mr. Bal- four makes no platform efforts. On the Radical side of politics Mr. Mor- —_—e—— Nearly Ten Inches of Rainfall.

Hearing Wheelman’'s Signals to Slow Speed. The steamer Charles Neison collided with the steamer Apache at 12:15 o'clock this morning, and both vessels were con- siderably damaged. The Charles Nelson was just returning from Boole's shipyard, Oakland, and was proceeding to dock at Mission-street wharf. When within a short distance of the shore, a steam pipe burst in the en- ’glne room, and owing to the noise of es- | caping steam, the engineer was unable to | hear the signal to slow up. In conse- quence the steamer ran full speed Into the | Apache, which was lying at the Market- | street whart. The wheel of the Apache was destroyved, | and the bulkhead of the Charles Nelson was considerably smashed. THE LOYALTY OF THE SOUTHERNERS OF TO-DAY It hardly need to be sald that we honor the Confederate soldier—honor him both for what he did and for what he was. We | take it that he !s, and always will be, honored wherever men of true worthiness meet together. The form of Harold was cenquered at Senlac, but his soul still lives and conquers still in the blood of his conquering race. So is it with the spirit of the Confederate soldier—the val- fant spirit of the South. Yet, looking back upon the struggle, the ex-Confeder- ate is ready to deciare that though he | gave the best four years of his life to the | cause of the Confederacy he would give eight years now, though his hair is white, before he would see slavery re-estab- lished or the unlon destroyed. He recognizes, however, that men braver or purer or nobler than the civil and mil- jtary leaders of the Confederacy never lived, and that it was the inscrutable wis- dom of God that their high purposes wers crossed and thelr brave armies we beaten. He has, in a word, In striking a | balance, found that men both at North and at the South who “defende the right as God gave them to know the right” were “Americans all-whose name were no more to be hemmed In by Sta lines than could their fame be circum- scribed within the same narrow limits One of these men—the greatest actor in | the drama on the Northern side—was Abraham Lincoln. Surely, in honoring such a man the Southern peopie homnor themselves and honor mankind.—New Or- | leans Times-Democrat. —_———————— Weights of Coins and Bills. What is the relative weight of a one- dollar greenback and a five-dollar gold- plece? How many one-dollar bills must you take to obtain the weight of the coin? It happened that this question has lately been put In a systematic fashion to the students of various colleges. Nine- ty-seven students of Columbuia Univer- sity gave answers of which the average | was 2291—more than two thousand bills to ! weigh as much as the coin! A ss of | students in the University of Kansa gave answers that averaged 9! The average of the replies of 162 women sti | dents of Smith College was 10S. Let the | reader stop here to make a guess—the | correct answer 1s 7! The astounding lack of the commonest observation om th | part of these students is the amazing fact.
