There will be | short waits between the acts of * n- idida” and between that play and “‘The man of Destiny” time will be taken only for the setting of the scene as quickly as possible. “The Man of Destiny” was played in New Daly and his com- by pa a was elved with every mark of approbation. It is said that the Napoleonic satire is one of the best recent one-act dramas and will serve to show Daly in a forcible and entertaining performance. — The Chutes. The Empirg Comedy Four, who were such favorites at the Orpheum | for three weeks, made an immense hit |at the Chutes Monday night with | their mar jests and varied songs. | Andy Rice proved a clever Hebrew | impersonator and Campbell and John- | son, late of the Zarrow trio, brought {down the house with their comedy | bicyele act. Marcus and Gartelle, the | comedy skaters; Maud Rockwell, the | pleasing contralto; Mabe! Lamson, the | popular singer of illustrated songs, and the American biograph, showing serious and amusing moving piectures, completed a capital programme. + RINGLING'S BIG CIRCUS WILL SOON ARRIVE HERE Best Performers in the Business Are on the Bills of the Com- ing Show.

Re ts come from AT STANFORD Sophomores and Freshmen Meet in a Lively Fight in the General Dormitory BATTLE FOR AN HOUR Prominent Members of Both Classes Are Carried Off and* Treated to Duckings — Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 30. Despite the efforts of the faculty to prevent any rush between the sopho- mores and the freshmen, the trouble that has been brewing during the past two or three days came to-night. Al- most as scon as the electric lights went out in Encina Hall, in the big general dormitory, the rush began. Freshmen to the number of about 100 gathered in the vestibule of the hall and the sopho- mores, fewer in number, on the broad stocne walk outside. Upon the steps, commanding a goed view of the pros- pective battiefield, stood a large num- | ber of the men of the upper classes. Suddenly, with a yell, the sophomores came through the big entrance door like a shot and in a moment the big| fight was on. The alm of each side | was to carry away its opponents to the bath tubs at either end of the hall and | there was hardly a moment that these did not have from ome to two occu- pants. Special efforts were made to duck the most prominent members of | each class and several of these went in | three or four times. Owing to their | superior numbers the freshmen had | considerably the best of the argument. The rush came to an end after an hour, | when the men were all completely wofl | out. No one was seriously hurt. | An effort was made by several upper classmen to prevent the rush, but| without success. The trustees of the university and the faculty are strongly | opposed to rushing. Although the rush | was in progress for more than an hour, no one in authority appeared to sup- | press it. ——————————— ROCKE] LLER IS PURCHASER OF LARGE SALT CONCERN | Rids $90,000 for Plant That Failure Because of Exten- sive Litigation.

A little bunch of Democrats, thir- teen in number, met at Santa Cruz last week and nominated William M. Con- ley of Madera to run in opposition to Needham. Conley, of course, will traverse the Sixth District and talk| pleasantly to the voters, but in the end he will share the fate of Castle, Crich- ton and Ashe, who went down to de- feat in a struggle to wrest Congres- ' sional honors from the Republican standard-bearer, J. C. Needham. The ! impression that Judge Conley is a vote | getter is misleading. Official records show that he falls to get the average vote of his party. The Republican State Committee will soon be advised of S. C. Smith's tour of the Eighth District and of the cam-| paign of E. A. Hayes in the Fifth.

Sheriff Peter Curtis yesterday no- tified the Board of Supervisors that he would in future refuse to release pris- oners from the county jails until their full terms had expired. It has been customary to allow prisoners whose conduct has been reported by the of- ficer in charge to be good five days’ credits for each thirty days of sen- tence. Curtis says that he fails to find any authority or law for this custom.

Peg followed the| Senator several blocks, persistently calling upon him to hand over the grouse. Senator Clark ran panting into the lobby of the Florence Hotel and de-| manded protection. He was sure that | Peg had a revolver, for several times the latter had made motions as though | to draw one and threatened to shoot | unless the Senator gave up the grouse.
