DELEGE CHOICE
OF THE DRUIDS
In the death of ', Professor George
Bates, who passed away at Santa Cruz
last Tuesday^ California | has lost one
of the most prominent educators con
nected with its history. Less than half
a ' century ago Bates ' Academy
was one of the most popular pre
paratory schools Id the State. Mr. Bates
was so proficient in this work that his
services were sought by the Regents of
the University as soon as this institu
tion came under State control.
There are quite a number of promi
nent men to-day who received their
training in Bates Academy and who
are Justly proud -of their alma, mater.
The news of* their former master's
death will touch them greatly. His San
Francisco school was first established
on Hyde street, but was removed later
to 2310 Clay street.
The funeral will take place to-day at
2 o'clock from his late residence on Clay
street. Services will be held at the cre
matorium in the Odd Fellows* Ceme
tery.

and cruised along the whole bluff, com
ing out past Laothieshan promontory.
As the flotilla steamed along it was
heavily engaged with the forts, but ap
parently suffered no damage, although
a signal mast of one of the torpedo
boats was knocked out of shape as if
struck by a shell. The operation was
backed ay some distance by two cruis
ers, one .of which appeared to be the
Yakuma,' while- one auxiliary cruiser, a
noted San Francisco liner, the" Nippon,
or a sister ship, acted as sea scout in
the rear.
Shortly afterward heavy firing began
on the land side, lasting intermittently
until dusk.

jtvith an elaborate pin.
The newly elected officers were in

by an irresponsible mob, but oy the
palace guards, which directly connects
the Haytien Government with the oc

also pelted. The wife of the French
Minister is an American.

will make a demand for redress.
