The reverend gentleman was given the most profound attention which the earnestness and instructiveness of his words commanded. The musical part of the service was rendered by the quartette choir of the church which lead in the hymns and gave a splendid rendition of a Te Deum by Buck, and during the service Dr. Paul Verne con tribubted a solo. While the service was one of the most impressive ever held under the auspices of the schoolB of the city, there was a cloud of sorrow over it caused by another event earlier in the day, the funeral of Mr. Huntoon. a former superintendent and later a firm and fast friend of the public schools of the city and a donor of gold medals given stimulate different efficiencies. His kindly face was missed as for years he had made it a point to attend this annual service if he was in the city.

The attorney general's office is tussling with the problem of the establishment of the line of demarca tion between a pig and a hog.' The office is asked to determine the exact moment when a pig is evoluted into a hog—or whether a pig is born a pig, or acquires hoggishness by time and hard work at the trough. The.ques tion is propounded by an assessor from the western part of the state, who has been delving into the blanks furnished him by the state, and also the law covering the assessments.

A section of the auditorium went down with a crash and the debris from it added to the wreckage which fell on top of th© injured and dead. The victims are subjects or former sub jects of Great Britain, resident in southern California. The dead were laid in the National Guard armory while the injured were hurried to the hospitals in this city and in Los Angeles. All doctors in the city were called and their efforts re inforced by surgeons and nurses who came from Los Angeles when appeals for aid were sent to that city. Victoria's Birthday. The accident occurred a debris and few min utes before noon. The Empire parade, the principal feature of the celebra tion, in honor of the late Queen Vic toria's birthday anniversary, was just ended and th© participants with thous ands of othera were crowding steps of the pier and up the surging the auditorium towards when the pier floor sagged. An instant later the supports gave way and the crack and groan of breaking timbers were heard mingled with the shrieks and cries of the vic tims as all went down into the mass of writhing human forms on tho sand. The cause of the crash is officially attributed to the over burdening of the pier caused by the fact that the audi torium had just been locked after a number of people entered. This caus ed the crowd to 8urge while additional thousands crowded on the steps. Immediately after the accident the huge pile of wreckage marking the spot where the dead and wounded lay, was surrounded by a dense throng, which in anxiety to discover whether some loved one were included in the struggling mass of dying, overwhelm ed the comparatively few policemen and for some time rendered futlie ev ery effort at rescue.

Pelky came here a comparative stranger to the fighting world. He was born at Chatham, Ont., twenty eight years ago, and commenced his ring career at the bottom eighteen months ago. Burns was the only man who ever got a decision over him. His opponents, prior to cominer to Calgary, were largely second or third raters and Pelky arrived here with nothing but nerve and a punch which was backed by 206 pounds of bone and muscle. In his bout with Burns he showed noth ing but a left jab that Tommy had lit tle trouble in evadipg. In fact after the fight with Burns, Pelky was asked jocularly if he had no right hand. Burns took hold of him before the bout with Andy Morris and in that engage ment he exhibited a very serviceable right hand but Burns had discovered it. Morris was knocked out and Pelky got a degree of assurance that helped him. Still working with Burns and Griffith the past month, he improved 500 per cent in foot work, shiftiness and ringcraft in general. Burns is managing him and, after the death of McCarty is probed and the responsi bilities proved, Pelky and Burns will probably go south to meet Gunboat Smith or "Didn't you any other promising hefcyy.

Senator Lane made another attack upon the Indian appropriation bill when it was taken up by the senate committee.
