The qualifying examinations for the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford will bg held later in the year than was at first intended, according to a statement that as just been issued by George R. Parkin, the commissioner for the trus- tees of the Rhodes scholarship trust. Instead of this or early next month t will be held some time between i1 15 and May 1, the exact time not yet having been decided upon. There are one or two other require- ments for the scholarships that have not yet been published, the result of a recent ruling of the Rhpdes trustees. One of these is that the candidate ap- pointed from the United States must pess the regular Oxford responsions be- fore he will be admitted to the uni- reity, even after he has passed the examipations required by the trustees. The other is that either the whole aculty or a committee appointed by the faculty will elect the candidate in- stead of the president of the institu- tion from which the candidate comes. The examinations are not to be com- petitive, but merely a test, in order to make gure that the elected scholar will be able to pass the responsions—the matriculation examinations of that uni- versity and the lowest test required of the lowest man who is allowed to con- tinue work at Oxford. This will be merely'a check upon the qualifications of candidates and all who pass will be eligible for election by the means pro- vided in the district from which they come. The examination will be managed frem Oxford and immediately the ex- aminers have reported upon the can- didates who have passed this qualify- ing examination the list will be sent to the university from which they ap- ied and from this qualified number ere are appointed what the university best and most represen- applying whatever test of and future promise it sees A further examination will not held unless the institution making dppointment determines, but n entering the candidate st pass the sions t considers its tative men, it. be the S TO RE FROM E.

MEDA o REMOVE HATS IN THE CHURCH Women of First Congrega- tional Society Doff Their Millinery During Servic THE REST WILL FOLLOW &% Pastor Favors Such a Cus- tom, Though He Makes No Effort to Force His Views Oakland ‘Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 2 A movement has been started among the women of the First Congregational Church of this city to have the mem- bers of their sex remove their hats in church, and it is probable that nexl! Sunday the ladies will remove their | headgear during divine wdrship. It gradually became known among a few of the female worshipers at this church that the pastor, Rev. Charles R. Brown, was in favor of having the elaborate hats of their sex removed during service, and last Sunday a few of them respected this wish. There were not many, but few though the number, there were enough to cause| some discussion of the matter at Be\'-‘ eral of the female society meetings of | the church during the week. The result was that the pastor was appealed to, and while Dr. Brown re- fused to force his views upon the women of his congregation, he ad- mitted that he thought the removal of hats was desirable. The question has been discussed among the various societies of the church and among many of the men- bers and it has been decided. without any organized effort, to generally re- move the expansive pieces of millinery during divine service.

Dennis says that it is the divine right of the wearer of a blue uniform and a star to be permitted to sleep at all times, provided the sergeant does not catch him or a pack of hounds doesn’t disturb him. As Alameda is not possessed of a sergeant whose duty | it is to see that policemen do not sleep on their beats, and as there is a pack of noisy hounds in Dennis' neighbor- hood, the veteran policeman had to turn his attention to the hounds. It is presumed from his statements that had there been & sergeant to awaken him. he would have met the same fate as the dogs. One Hans P. Nielsen, who comes| from the land of the Vikings, keeps a | pack of baying hounds near where the policeman lives. According to the com- plaint made to-day by Welch, these hounds have not permitted him to sleep by day or night and the only rest | that he has had has been upon his| beat. Upon this showing Judge Tap- | pan issued a warrant for Nielsen's ar- | rest and he was haled into court. He demanded a jury trial and will set up as his defense that Welch got enoush | rest upon his beat to satisfy all of the demands of nature, and that a poiice- man is supposed to be always vigilant and awake. On the other hand it is| understood that Dennis will plead the eight-hour law on sleen. | —_—————————— | Mrs. B. C. Cuvellier Injured. OAKLAND, Feb. —Mrs. B.

Neo such native avalanche ever hung over the heads of even the few white settlers in the American colon- ies in the early day, for the American wilderness was never peopled with such hosts of savages as fill the Afri- can veldt and jungle. For the attempt, at least, nothing is wanting but the Toussaint I'Ouverture, the determined and abie black leader who can organize the diverse and mu- tually foreign nations and tribes and inspire them with a common metive of revolt. No such leader is in sight. Yet a negro King Philip, a negro Pontiac, a negro Tecumseh, the stamp of whoss foot upon the earth may some day be heard in the earthquake, is neither in- conceivable nor impossible. We may understand the uneasiness of South African whites over this Hot- insurrection. German rule is sufficiently oppressive to light the flame if anything will do it. The Hot- tentots are a widespread nation. A general black insurrection must result in horrible massacres. Yet there could be but one final result for it, as there was but one possible result for the gen- eral Indian wars in America. The thousands of whites, with their re- organization, would pre- vail, and more sternly than ever against the millions of blacks.—New York Mail and Express. of community a REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.
