Not Likely to Be Repeated. "The work of a newspaper corre- j spondent involves constant thought and ; fetudy, with consequent brain and nerve j ■weariness. It may interest you to know • ©f my experience with coffee. "Some years ago I was compelled to | give it up, and after a few years' ab- etinence started its use again, at break- fast only. Within a few weeks I was compelled to abandon it, as I became , nearly paralyzed. "During the forenoon of each day my arms and wrists were so benumbed that 2 could use h 1:1 with difficulty. Alarm- Ing symptoms began to develop which ! my physician informed me were the forerunners of apoplexy. Coffee was therefore foresworn. Milk, of which I t -was very fond, made me intolerably > |3rowsy-and stupid. . "About two years ago my attention j \vas ciillsd to Postum Cereal Pood Cof- , fe^, and a trial was made, believing that if it proved half as valuable as ' claimed it would be of great advantage j to rr.o. On the first trial it tasted rather { Insipid to our strong coffee loving fam- i ily, but a little freer use of Postum and ! longer boiling produced a delicious ! -drink, and within a short time the ! members of the family, one and all, had j .. - become lent advocates of Postum | Food Coffee. "In my own case it has worked won- j ders. I work more constantly than ■ ever, but my general health is better than at any time in my life, and the symptoms of nervous trouble have T.iiolly disappeared. About eight months ago I made one more trial of coffee, reducing it with nearly half ! milk. The experiment lasted four or i five days, and is not likely to bo re- I peated.

GAGE INSULTS GOVERNORS OF MEXICAN STATES Executive Displays His Churlishness. — » SNUBS PROMINENT VISITORS —^ HIS ACTIONS HASTENED THEIR DEPASTURE. Acknowledges a Call From Governors Ortiz r.nd Canedo by Sanding Them a Pass to Ride on a Tugboat. Th© churlish character of Governor Gage and the fact that he lacks apprecia tion of the dignity of his office has again j been manifested in his treatment of two representatives of the Mexican republic, who were recently on a visit to this city. It is no new thine for the present Gover- j nor of California to insult bis own people; j It Is not a novelty for him to slight dis tinguished officials from sister States who . have come to Caiiicruia expecting to re ceive from our chief executive a display of hospitality and generosity which is the; boasted characterise of the coast; but | the people ware not prepared lor the humiliation consequent upon the highest official at their State snapping his angers a; two prominent diplomats from a for eign country, who came- here on a. mission | 01 friendship with the object in view of establishing closer commercial and social relations between the nations. uage = treatment of uiese visitors liter- ; aliy arove mem away from the city The ; Mexican Consul. A. K. Coney, is greatly ; chagrined at the reception accoraed his : fealow countrymen by the Governor of California. ■ ;/; :*-'-.. Governor Ortiz of Sonora and Governor Francisco Canedo of Sinaloa came to San i'rancisco a few weens ago and became the guests of Consul Coney. One of the primu objects of their visit was to look ; into the business relations of California and the Mexican States, and if possible i tiring their commercial ... rests still : closer together. Their presence here was : made known to the Governor and the of- ; ncials of the city. Borne entertainment , wuti given the gentlemen by the Mayor-, i but >;.;«;'• persistently refused to ac ki:owlesge their presence. Presuming that notice of their visit had i not reached Gage the Mexican officials called upon him personally at the Palace Hotel. He did not receive them and they left their cards, expecting that the Gov ernor would pay his respects to them as soon as he got around to it. Several days went by and still Gage made no acknowl- I edgment of the call and steadfastly re- j fused to take cognizance of the visitors' presence in San Francisco. Evidently some one told him of the mis take he was making: and Gage, made a clumsy attempt to retrieve himself and! make amends. This attempt added Insult to Injury and so disgusted the Mexicans ; that they left the State at once. The third day after their visit to him at the Palace Governors Ortiz and Canedo i received an envelope from Gago. There ! wr-s no letter in it; 11 contained only the | executive's card and a pans which, he had j secured from the quartermaster's depart- j rat-nt, U. 8. A., permitting the Mexican Governors to take a ride around the bay on the tug McDowell on one of nor regular trips — the same style of pass that almost any one can get for the asking. The gen tlemen were so provoked at the Gover nor's Idea of entertaining visitors that they tore up the passes and returned to their own country "Governors Canedo and Ortiz were sham"' treated during their visit to this city, said Consul Coney yesterday. "They were almost entirely ignored by the officials. They are prominent men. In I their country -and they came here for the I purpose of bettering if possible the com mercial relations of this State and Mcx- I lco. They v •■• certainly entitled to some i consideration, and I know that they fee) keenly the eliiiht that was shown them. I was greatly humiliated over the matter, as I had led them to believe that they v.-ould be treated with the consideration due to their prominence In official circles In their own country." j DIVORCE SUITS FILED.

The Arbiter of Berkley's Destiny Wins the Hearts of the Stndent Body in an Eloqne.t Appeal to Their College Patriotism. BERKELEY, Oct. 3.— The students of the University of California saw c their newly elected president this morning for the first time. It was a happy introduction between some 2000 young men and women and the man who has Just come from the East to be the central figure in their college life. That the utmost good feeling is going to exist between Pres ident Wheeler and the students was clearly shown in his bearing before them this morning and their hearty applause to everything he said. The formal introduction took place In the open air upon the college campus shortly before 12 o'clock. About 4000 people gathered in a large semicircle arouna the flagpole in front of the library building to watch the proceedings and to catch the words of the president's address. About 11:80 President Wheeler, accompanied by Professor Bernard P. Moses, left the president's office in South Hall and walked toward the assembled gather ing. 'At the sight of the president the college men raised their hats, and for a minute the sharp, quick yell of Cornell University Went ringing across the cam pus. As President Wheeler stepped upon the small platform erected for him he was given three rousing cheers, and then came the "Ha! Ha! Ha! California! TJ. C. Berkeley, Zip! Boom! Ah!" From professors and students alike, it was the college men's recognition of a col lege man, and the new president seemed to feel, as it burst forth from the thou sands present, that he was indeed from that moment the president of the student body of the University of California. President Moses had been asked by the students to make the introduction, and he did it in a. lew weii chosen words. Professor Moses said: "Mr. President: It gives me great pleasure, on behuif of the university, to ex tend to yuu a hearty welcome on thes-.e grounds and to present to you this body of students. They are California's most excellent pioduci. They are not the tran sient guests ol the State, to be scattered later in the four quarters of the Union. They are here at home, and except in rare Instances th>y are to remain with us, to carry toward completion on these shores the social structure whose lounda- Lready hiiU. "It is, sir, the welfare of these students, the welfare of the students who are to come after them, and therefore the welfare of the commonwealth, that must be the absorbing object of your attention and thought. Their moral and intellectual career mu^t be ihe justification of our labor and our living here. •."ntt; of the university, it gl\es me great pleasure to present to you Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the university." (.Applause.) In reply, President Wheeler said: "Students of the University of California: I rejoice that my first introduction to the university takes the form of an intro dui tlon to \ou. Thus far this university has been to me more or less a thing of the imagination. I have known of it l«"the form of statutes and reports, names ties, iorms and observances. I have seen its admirable register. I have honorable governing board in session. I have seen Its buildings, its equipment, Its mechanism, its gardens and its trees. lint now, standing here in t he golden sunlight by its help under this real blue canopy, I look into the faces of the real blue and gold that constitutes the real, living University of Callfor- Applar.se.) Nov.- from this hour I know that lam a member in a real and living association, because lam joined in association with men. The only thing that is of Interest to me in a university is men— and women. As long as I live I trust 1 may never be Interested in a university of mechanisms, reports and paper, but only In a university of human beings. (Applause.) "it has been a solicitude on my part lest in entering a presidential office I might be so absorbed In administrative things that my own loved teaching might ■•. from me, and It will be a disappointment to me if in any wise my hail separate me from active interest in student affairs. Almost the ation 1 have this morning in entering upon my work is the belief that 1 am g ill g to know you and to have to do with you intimately; for all this w irk oi the presidential office is burden and care. It is only done in order that • : shed, the real object, the bringing forward of a uni versity made up of students. "1 want you to find In me— to believe from the beginning and throughout ive in me a personal friend. (Applause). 1 shall i sard my mission '..••:' as a failure if that is not the case, l want you to come to Bee me, and to rsons. Tell me your names— l beg of you, tell me your names— : ■ . ■•• me, for whenever I see a man that I have seen before I am apt to refnember him and to remember a good deal about him- almost everything - -•■ come up to me and say, 'My name Is ' and if ; ■ tifl to be Smith, give the initials. (.Laughter.) Please don't be afraid to ■ 'it petty matters, little matters. What interests you will interest me. .)])•• i am going to have time enough to know about your petty affairs. "Now there are a great many things that I am movi on this occasion. - a stimulating sight. This golden sunshine coming down in genial, lazy •■ ripened brown of these magnificent hills, ■■• Is me oi ■ It is more than Hellas that we have here. Greece looked out toward the old orienta! world; Berkeley looks out through the Golden Gate t' ward the Oriental world that has meaning for to-day. (Applause.) I should like to talk to you about the glorious future that I discern for this university. I should liktj to talk to you about the work we have to do here — plans we have in band; but in the few moments that 1 have in this sup: me opportunity 1 want to Bpeak to you about the one thing that, in my idea, is fundamental in the life of a university, and that la university loyalty. (Applause.) "A university is not a pla.ee where you come as empty buckets to the well to bo filled with water or anything else. People are going to pump things into you, to be sure, but you are going to pour most of it out again. 1 believe, from mj ov.n experience, that after all we have to take upon ourselves the consola tion that that does us th< most good which we forget most entirely. Those things which hover on the superfices of the mind are oftener a stumbling block than a help. It Is what goes over into spinal marrow, into real life, that makes? US, and what we are going to get out of our university life is not hits of knowledge, is not maxims and rules for getting this or that, for learning this or that, for attaining this or that; but aft'T all It is this one thing that we talk so much about and understand so imperfectly— it Is character. The men you ti< to are men of character. As I grow older I corn.' less and less to re spect men of brilliancy, and tie to men for their character. And what men are going to get out of this university life is not what is pumped Into ihe pail, hut what goes over into life. And It comes not only from the lecture room, but from association with the best minds we find here in the student body—associa te n with the whole life and character of the university. This university Is a living thing: the real university is alive. Blood pulses through its veins. .The . life of the men who have gone before is in it. It is not a thing of building, nor of statutes, nor of courses, it is a thing of life. And what you will get out of this university that Is worth your while, that will stand by" you, is what you will get out of association with it as a living thing. •'Therefore 1 say we are not a mechanism for providing j><?op!e with equip ment; we are alive, we have a heart. And to the. family life I charge you stu dents of the University of California be loyal. It is worth your while. It is your duly. Be loyal to the university. Be loyal to all its parts. Say that you love It. Those who take the misunderstandings and the quarrels of the inside to ventilate them In the outside world are traitors to us. (Applause.) We are a family. You cannot ma.kc a university out of minds and brains. In a univer sity, as elsewhere In the world, heart is more than heads, and love is more than reason. Hold you fast to that love for this university. Stand strong, shoulder to shoulder, when you do Its work. Let every man according to his ability do what the university asks of him. and let every man do in support of the other man's work what he can. Let the quarter-back pass the ball, let the line stand solid, let the, men guard the half-back, when he cornea racing around the end. l^et us stand toother. Let us have at the University of California what we call In football 'good interference.' "This university shall be a family's glorious old mother, by whose hearth you shall love to sit down. I^ove her; it does a man good to love noble things, to'at taob bis life to noble allegiances. It is a good thing to love the church. It is a good tiring to lov<* the state. It is a good thing to iove one's home. It is a good tiling to be loyal to one's father and mother, and after the same thing It is good loyal to the university, which stands in life for the purest things and the cleanest, loftiest ideals. Cheer for her; it will do your lung:; good. "It has done me good to hear your cheer ringing over the campus. My little hoy (five or six years old), who is already a loyal Californian (applause), asked n I started to come out here please to instruct him in the California yell; and 1. to my grent regret, was unable to give It to him In the original. He looked vi me and shook his head, entertaining some serious doubts Whether I had any right to be the president of the University of California. And I shared his doubts. But wo had not been In Sun Francisco many hours when th" yell w;:s learned, "And so 1 say cheer for her; It will do your lungs good. Love her; it will do your heart and life pood." (Applause.) The president's remarks were received with continued outbursts of applause. At their conclusion Fred Dorety of the class of 1900, president of the Associated Students, extended a welcome on behalf of the students themselves. When he had finished President Wheeler rose once more to speak before the gathering dispersed. He said In conclusion: "It has been good to be hire, i thank yon. I thank yen.
