I had no strength to throw away in stray, so decided that hot water must do for me. One morning I came to breakfast in thf- home of some friends in Puebla, Col., just )n time t<> see thf> mother i ng some rich, deep yellow coffee) mugs for the two little boys. One hap had thrust his fingers in the and was licking them with such smacks. This opened the way : Bay, "Are you not afraid of the of coffee on the little folks?" The mother explained that it was Postuj . Pood Coffee made at Bat- Creek, Michigan, and remarked, "We think there is nothing like, it." Then she explained how the new cof- fee had weaned them away from the use of the old-fashioned coffee and tea because "it is bo wholesome."' I drank it there for the first time, and was delighted not only with the deli- rious flavor, but the after satisfaction it gives. One day I was shaking with i pur family physician's wife ahout Pos- j turn, when her daughter remarked: V-s, mamma, we are nut of Postum, ;in<V I have used coffee for the last two mornings and it always brings the tired ! feeling and troubles my stomach and i i bowels, but Poetum makes me feel all | right." I In one home they Berved Postum in j such- a way that It waa tasteless. Ij i have found that Postum boiled some- times live minutes, and sometimes ten, h is nothing more than spoiled water; but when it la made with two heaping teas- poqhsful for each cup and boiled fifteen or. twenty minutes, it becomes a tried and proven breakfast favorite, and for : refreshment and wholesome nourish- ment has no equal.

CHINESE HIGHBINDER KILLS HIS ENEMY Rivalry for the Affections of a Woman Leads to a De liberate Mjrder. cZjyZ CHINESE love affair led to a II Y^ murder early yesterday morn /r==\ ln *- U \^> Shoe Hoon Sein and Ng Tow Sheong were rivals for the .t flections of a Chinese belle and Sein billed Sheong in* order to get him out of the way. Sheong was the bookkeeper for the Chinese firm of Cerro Howart & Co., at 227 Clay street and lived on the premises. Bui is a laborer, and says it was a case of murder or being mur dered. About 7 a. m. he went to the cigar factory and found Ng Vow Sheong asleep on a cot at the rear of the cigar factory. "I told him to wake up and fight, but he wouldn't," said Shee Hoon Sein, "so I shot him in the head. He was a heap bad man and told my girl that he would poison me." SI ■ •• Hoon Sein was killed with the first shot. It made an ugly wound In his head, and death must have been instantaneous. After firing the shot Sein ran away and was captured on Sacramento street by Sergeant Brpphy and charged with murder at the Harbor police station. The Smith & Wesson pistol with which he did the shooting- was booked as evidence against him. At the Central police station, whither he was removed early in the. day. Shee Hoon Sein readily admitted that he had killed his rival. He said that the girl's name was Leng Goo, and that she was the property of Son retaryi. L. F. Byington. W. B. Harring ton, C.

Around a circular tablo. beautifully dcc i orated with a profusion of rare flowers | and fairly jtroaninß with the finest efforts ' of the Cilifornia'H chef, fourteen gentle . men seated themselves to do honor to ; their now adjutant general. It was hardly 7 o'clock when the warriors first placed their feet un<k-r the mahopany and gazed with empty stomachs and lonp i inp eyes at the poodly array of large ' round, cold hott!en that were drawn up in battalion formation on the adioinlnp side boards. At an hour considerably past mitlnig-ht tho battalions had l>^en' fairly : cut to iiieoes and the reserves that had ! heen hurried forward to meet the on slaught were faring no better. Fmiing lulls in the nig:ht - = fighting toasts were rendered and applauded speeches were made and listened to: songs were sung and choruses helped '(long, and when, at last, the cohorts of Bacchus had all W-en slaughtered and ; dispersed, the party broke up, vowing , that never yet hail commander witnessed i so Kiorimip a victory.

I PROPOSED TAX ON STUDENTS AT BERKELEY A Special Meeting of Regents Is Called. GAGE IS HEARD FROM LIBERAL CALIFORNIANS ARE NOT OFFERING ASSISTANCE. The Governor Pocketed a Bill to Re imburse Money Advanced to Help the Destitute Farmers. The Board of Regents at a recent session voted to impose a registration tax of $20 on each student attending the university. This measure was adopted to cover an anticipated deficit of $47.<iiio. The professors strenuously objected to any reduction of their sal aries and the sense of the hoard was against the abolition of a single exist ing department of the institution. The finance committee failed to find a way other than that nf imposing a tax on the students. The proposition was vig orously resisted by Judge Wallace. John E. Budd and H. S. Foote. hut the majority of the regents favored it. When Governor Gage heard what the regents proposed to do hp wrote a let ter expressing his dissent and suggest ing a special meeting to reconsider the action of the board. Judge Slack, who voted in favor of the tax. is of the opin ion that the regents will cheerfully ac quiesce if some other plan of providing for the money can be presented. He supported the measure to tax the stu dents because he saw no other way to overcome the deficit. The committee in preparing the budget found that a certain Bum of money was required for the maintenance of each of the depart ments of the university, and that the aggregate sum demanded exceeded the estimated income by $47,000. In making estimates of the revenue which the university will d> rive from the State on the 2-cent tax, the regents n'eure that the valuation of taxable property for this year will not show an increase as compared with last year's valuation. The alarm of the re gents may be premature. If the As sessors of other counties of the State shall show as much enterprise in the work of expanding Ih* assessment roll as the Assess.^ of San Francisco Is dis playing the university will have a sur plus rather than a deficit. Governor Gage may be able to con vince the regents that the increased valuation will render the proposed tax unnecessary. It is noted that the agi tation for money to maintain the uni versity has not induced citizens of wealth and public spirit to signify a readiness to advance coin on the credit of the State. Eastern people hearing so much about our great university may regard it as rather remarkable that so much clamor should be made Of :i small deficit of $47,000. They must naturally infer that the millionaires of California do not manifest much con cern in higher education when no one offers to help the university. The East erners may not be advised of the fact that California recently contributed a rare specimen to the gallery of freak Governors, and therein lies the reason that public spirited men of means are not offering to assist th» State. Our freak Governor holds that money advanced on the credit and honor of the commonwealth should not be re paid. The fact will be recorded in the annals of California that Governor Budd on the credit of the State pro cured (25,000 from a generous citizen to assist settlers in a drought -stricken dis trict. The money was disbursed by a commission appointed by the Governor and consisting of the Mayor of San Francisco, the president of the Mer chants' Association and the president of the State Agricultural Society. The accounting showed that every dollar expended went to the relief of some destitute farmer. Both houses of the Legislature without dissent passed the bill to repay the money so advanced on the credit of the commonwealth. When the bill reached Governor Gage he put it in his porket and denied re payment of the sum advanced. In view of the transaction, it is not likely that there will be a rush of liberally in* clined citizens to assist the State Uni versity. When money advanced to help the settlers is not repaid, there can be no assurance that an advance to as sist the students will be recognized as an honorable obligation. STRIPED BASS SEIZED.
