The meeting was called .to order by Mrs, John Swift, vice president. Mrs. M. L. O’'Neal read a report on the “School City”"—the school city as originated by Wilson Gill and introduced with success in the schools of Philadelphia. Mr. Gill has also extended his work to Cuba, where he inaugurated this form of in- struction upon invitation of General Wood. At the Columbia Park Boys' Club of this city a school city plan, in some respects different from Mr. Giil's, is be- ing carried on with excellent results, and is found to reach and control offenders where others have fafled. Nine years ago it was first put into practice in the schools of Chicago. The report proves that wherever it has been tried with good judgment the plan has been most successful. Although the un- derlying principles are simple, the actual practice is disciplinary, and serves the double purpose of teaching clvics and self-g ronment and social relations. Mrs. O’'Neal is authorized to continue in- vestigations and to incorporate the plans of the Philadelphia school city in her re- port. The committee on the extended use of school yards was deterred from collecting further information, as the schools were closed for a vacation of three weeks. Some private contributions toward equip- ping the yards with apparatus appropri- ate for out-door sports were recelved. A temporary board of managers was appointed with the object of assisting the cause of the Business Women’s Club. The question of proposing a chairman on the peace and arbitration committee was brought before the council. Nothing definite materialized. Mrs. Warren Cheney gave a most in- teresting address on ‘“Will Nature Elimi- nate the College Woman?"

Rodgers of the National Theo- sophical Socleties Gives Remarkable H Instances of After-Life. L. W. Rodgers, national lecturer of the Theosophieal Societies, gave a lec- | ture in the Academy of Sclences Hall last evening on “The Scientific Evi- dence of Future Life.” The speaken gave many remarkable instances where people have had communications from the dead, and said he belleved that the time was not far off when his theories ‘will be proved beyond a doubt. In proving his theory of a future life the speaker brought out the facts that | the senses of hearing, sight and touch i can respond to only a mere fraction of the vibrations that are .beating against them, but with the aid of the X-Ray and the wireless telegraph many of the vibrations are caught and wonderful things accomplished. Other things, he asserts, more wonderful than these will soon be discovered, which will give us an easy communication with the dead. Professor Rodgers will speak on “Re- incarnation” next Wednesday evening. —_—— ‘Worth Knowing —that Allcock’s are the original and genuine plasters; all others are imitations, * —————— Straw hats were first heard of in Eng- |1and in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

Mister Ade! Last night, with “On His Uppers,” an *“idyll in slang,” George Ade burst upon local vaudeville, assisted by Fred Lennon and company. It is Mr. Ade’s first and only varlety ap- arance, which is fairly fortunate for r. Ade. For only its authorship and the occasional bright line attract atten- tion to the sketch. Not even the acting —Fred Lennon is clever, but not that way. i The story concerns a racing man, who, in Ade's quaint phrase, is so “broke” that he “can’t think past two dollars.” He needs $25. He is lost in Chicago and Broadway s his home. To get there he accepts a $2% engagement as a parlor | magician, at a tea at the house of a rich widow. The widow turns out to be 2 one-time flame of his, once a news girl. She comes on declaring that society bores her—it is in the next room, and descants on the value of deaf and dumb butlers to pretty widows. The connection is not obvious. But the widow goes out to be bored again and the racing man comes in. He thinks he has made a confederate of the butler when the widow returns. Recognition. So fer, so good, but noth- ing else happens. The racing man re- hearses his tricks and falls, then she asks him to sing a little song he used to sing—and doesn't Fred want her and her $600,0007 Fred does. But the plece lacks ,swiftness, sparkle, actlon, most things that vaudeville demands. There is noth- ing doing. The plot is thin and implausible, even from varlety viewpoints. But there are several lines that stick—that of the tall man that “if he fell down would be hailf- way home” and “Where are the tips of yesterday?” needing no pins. Onme felt sure Fred Lennox would have been better in the mext act. He is evi- dently & clever comedian and sings a serio-comic song delightfully. But Mr. Lennox seems hardly to “belong” in vaudeville any more than “On His Up- pers.”” He hasn’t the way of it, the speed. The widow, Jean Calvert, hardly helps. “Mr.” Paton, the deaf and dumb butler, might, if he had anything to do. back yesterday to a floral horseshoe and an uproarious welcome. They deserve it. They “beat the Dutch.” Herbert's dogs are new and uncannily intelligent canines. They dive from the ceiling, ride on trollles from the center of the theater to the stage and do other sensatipnal stunts. The five Piroscoffis would make about one good juggler. They do some amusing things with plates, however. Lewis McCord and company continue In “Her Last Rehearsal,” one of the best sketches ever given at the Or- pheum, and the Le Brun trio in “I1 Trov- atore,” another holdover, is with the best of the bill. Mr. Newman, humorist, should go and “tell anudder one.” BLANCHE PARTINGTON. TRANING WAL TILL CUARDED Campfires and Searchlights Shine Through the Murky Night From Slender Strip —_— Though Federal injunctions have stopped all railroad construction for the present on the Government training wall along the Oakland harbor, the armed guard is still maintained there: Last night the flare of the searchlights and the blaze of the campfires maintained by the Western Pacific men-at-arms shone murkily through the storm rack of the bay. The Sibley tents, straining in every seam to withstand the onslaughts of the wind, and the unstable shelters constructed of ties could scarcely have kept the hired watch- ers on the exposed spit of artificial land comfortable, but war, even though it be only between railroads, never has carried ease to the men who do the fighting. Tt is likely that there will be little stir until word comes from Washington in. re- sponse to Colonel Heuer's recommenda- tion regarding the use of the training wall. If that recommendation {s what it is thought to be it is likely that the West- ern Pacific will receive permission from the War Department to maintain the trpcks it has laid on the strip over which the battle is being fought. With permis- slon from the Government to pursue its operations on the training wall the West- ern Pacific would presumably have a strong position in court. . The injunction proceedings have gone over until to-morrow, but a further con- tinuance would probably be granted upon a showing that word was expected from the War Department. It is probable that the desire of the Secretary of War in the matter will be made known by telegraph. It is generally believed that the West- ern Pacific knew Dpretty well where it stood before it began its hasty construc- tion of track on the training wall and that the officials of the company believe their road will stay there, giving them the terminal that is of such tremendous ad- vantage to their corporation.

It Is possible he has taken the steamer from New York and is by this time well on his way to Honduras. Mitchell left S8an Francisco unknown to his creditors on January 3. He took the Overland Limited from Oakland at 11 o'clock that morning. He was seen and recognized on the train by a prominent San Francisco business man who- knows Mitchell. This business man knew of the failure of a few days before, but he sup- posed that Mitchell had been given per- mission by his creditors to go to Phila- delphia, where he has many friends and several relatives, so that he could raise money with -which to pay off a part of his liabilities. He did not think that Mitchell was a fugitive who had left San Francisco secretly and was actually seek- ting to get away without being recog- nized. Consequently the business man Who recognized him raised no outery. Mitchell had none of the expected ap- pearances of the fugitive. He was well dressed and apparently at his ease. He sat in the buffet car much of the time. The San Francisco business man who recognized him failed to notice whether Mitchell left the train before it reached Chicago or stayed in his car and finally transferred for the East. Although Mitchell left San Francisco for the East on January 3, his flight from the city was not until January 11 . Then the word was sent to the cred- itors that he had only gone fo San Jose for the rest cure. ————————— SWISS RIFLE OLUB HOLDS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SHOOT Club held a success- as follows: mum;fl‘.&huflm 187 Frank Satter, 11 e Louts’ Hauser. 208, 187; A. von First T iR e, 184, 1 . % + MULES MORE PROFITABLE TO FARMER THAN HORSES They Find That the Demand for Long Eared Hybrid Is Ahead of Supply. The average farmer is probably not aware of the fact that an average mule sells for $10 a head more tham horses. CHARMING | Such is the case and the price has been gradually rising for a number of years. There has never been what would be called an overproduction of mules, while the market has often been unable to fully supply the demand. The ability of the mule to endure great heat has brought it into most general use in the Southern States, where large farms are devoted entirely to ralsing cotton; also the farmers of this country find the mule stands the work in the hot season in wheat flelds much better than the horse. All men that have used mules know this to be a fact. The mule matures more quickly than the horse, and can be placed on the market from one to two years sooner than the average horse. This means a larger profit to the producers and quicker returns for the investment. A well-fed mule can be worked at two years of age with safety, if proper judgment is exer- cised by the driver. They are much less nervous than a horse, thus not so liable to accident or blemish. A ‘blemish that would make a fine horse unsalable would take but a trifie from a mule. The mule 18 less liable to wire cuts and blemishes for the reason that he {is more care- ful about running into anything than a horse. You will see six or eight horses blemished and scarred from wire where you will see one mule scarred from it. The mule is a taxpayer and a mortgage lifter for the farmer; he is ready sale at weaning time, at one year, two years or when he is broke to work. The mule is ready money at any age. The horse colt does not sell well until it is three or four years old and broke to work and drive.— Sarcoxte (Mo.) Leader. —— Mixed Blood in Indian Territory. ““There is a vast number of people in the Indian Territory who have more than the usual amount of mixed blood In their veins,” said J. W. Patterson of Muscogée, LT “Some the leading people of the Creek on are a mixture of the white, Indian and negro races, and yet the ex- istence of a slight African strain in their makeup does not appear to prejudice them in a social or business way. Of course, when the negro blood decidedly prepondezates then the Individual cannot escape being classed as colored.. It is rather jous that a town no larger than Muséogee should have more than twenty negro members of the legal pro- fession.”"—Washington Post.
