HIS OWN DEFENSE
Henri an Anarchist and
Proud of It.
EXPLOSION IN THE CAFE.
He Visited Many Places Before
He Found Victims Enough.
OTHER BOMBS WHICH HE MADE.
The Story of His Desperate Deed
by Which Seventeen People
Were Seriously Injured.
Paris, April 27.— The trial of Kniile
Henri, tlie Anarchist, who on February
12 threw a bomb into the cafe beneath the
terminus began to-day. The courtroom
was crowded. Great precaution was taken
by the police to prevent a bomb outrage.
Maitre HomDostel, Henri's defender, will
attempt to prove that Henri is insane, and
Henri is opposed to this plea, and against
bis counsel's advice and bis mother's en
treaties has prepared a defense of his
acts which he will read to the court.
The indictment charged him not only
with the Cafe Terminus outrage, but also
with tiie explosion in the Kue dcs Bins-
Enfants. The following is a summary
of the Acte d' Accusation, or the indict
ment:
The prisoner was born in Spain, and in
company with his faher nought refuge
after the events of 1871. Father and son
returned to France in 1882, after tlie atn
nestv. and young Henri wa» well edu
cated; but be became affiliated with the
anarchists, and on May 13, IS!>2, following
thy firs' anarchist attempts, he was ar
rested, but subsequently liberated. Us
employer dismissed him on account of his
taking part in the anarchist propaganda,
and after bis departure documents rein tine
to the manufacture of explosive*, etc.,
were found in His desk.
Henri then turned his attention to jour
nalism and whs for a time attached to the
staff of Len d'Ehos. On November 20,
1892, an object was found in tue offices of
the Carmaux Mining Company which ap
peared like a castiron saucepan, the cover
beiui fastened on securely. It was giver.
into trie hands of the Commissary of Police
and as it was being carried away ex
ploded, killing two policemen and wreck
ing the room. The bomb had b^en
wrapped in a copy of Le Temps, on which
was an article relating to the arrest of
two anarchists, Emil Henri and his
brother. Investiga'ion showed the latter
was in Bobeous on Nurambtr 8, when the
bomb exploded, anJ therefore suspicion
naturally fastened itself upon Emile Henri,
who disappeared immediately afterward
and sought refuge in England.
On December 20, 1893; H^nri hired a
room in the Villa Faucex, Rue dcs Envir
ges, under the name of Louis Da Bois.
There he procured the necessary chemicals
to manufacture an explosive bomb, and
also purchased a saucepan similar to the
one which had caused the death of the
three men in the Rue dcs Eons Enfants.
In this iron he placed the explosives and
surroundel them by 120 bullets, a smaller
and center cylinder of zinc containing the
chemical which was to cause the explosion.
Finally, the priming consisted of a dyna
mite cartridge having a capita of fulminate
of mercury, to which was attached a fuse
calculated to burn in 15 seconds.
On February 12 of the present year
Henri left his room after having notified
the porter that he would not return for
several days, carrying his bomb, like
Vaillant, attached to* the belt of his
trousers, and concealed by his overcoat.
Henri was armed with a revolver, tbe bul
lets of which he had previously chewed in
order ihat they might do the most harm,
wounds inflicted by chewed bullets being
considered almost certainly fatal. He
also carried a dagger with a poisoned
point.
Armed in this manner, Henri went
toward the Avenue de I'Ooera and glanced
into the Restaurant Bignon and then went
to the Cafe Americain. N^t finding these
places as full of wealthy looking people as
he expected, he went to the Cafe de la
Paix, but even that establishment was not
full enough of his prospective victims, so
he continued on his way until he arrived
at the Cafe Terminus, situated beneath
the hotel of that name.
It was about half past 8 when he reached
this spot and found it to be well filled
with people, who were crowded around a
platform upon which an orchestra was
playine. Hpnri entered and took a seat
at a small table near the door, paid for a
glass cf beer, drauk it, called for a second
glass and then for a cigar, He was wait-
Ing for the crowd tr> became larger.
At 9 o'clock Henri took the lighted cigar
from iiis mouth and applied it to the fuse
attached to the bomb, which lie had con
cealed upon his person. He then arose,
walked toward the door, and suddenly
turning around threw the bomb In the di
rection of the orchestra. The bomb
struck the electric light chandelier and fell
to the ground, throwing out a thick, black
smoke. A few seconds later the bomb ex
ploded with a dull detonation, tore a deep
hole In the flooring and more or less
severely wounded seventeen people.
Henri fled, seeking to divert suspicion
from bimsell by crying out: "The miser
able wretch; where is he?"
He was pursued, however, and at the
corner of Rue dv Havre and Rue d'ltalia
was overhauled by a man named Etiente.
Henri drew his revolver and tired straight
at Etien'f's breast. The bullet happily
struck a large button and did not wound
the man, but the shock caused him to fall
senseless to the ground. Henri shot a
barber named Maurice and a policeman
named Poisson befure he was overcome.
When the police searched his room they
found that papers aud Incriminating mate
rial had been destroyed after his arrest,
showing that be had accomplices.
Replying to a question from the Judge,
Henri said he selected the Cafe Terminus
to explode his bomb, because It was more
lull of bourgeois than any other cafp.
Several witnesses called were still suffer-
Vng from wounds rpceived in the explosion.
THE SESSION CLOSED.
Native Sons' Convention Wound Up
by a Banquet.
Eukeka, April 27.— The delegates of
the Grand Parlor and large number of
ritizens of Eureka spent to-day in North
Fork and Arcata as guests of Arcata
Parlor. The excursion was in the nature
tf a picnic.
At 8 o'clock this morn ng the entire
r arty of excursionists boarded the schooner
Fortunn, in tow of three local steamers,
and were towed to Arcata wharf, where
they were transferred to a train and taken
to North Forir, making stops at Arcata
md Blue Lake.
They were met at both places by large
delegaiinns. After a stay at North Fork,
during which the delegates visited Kor
bell mill and other points of interest in
the vicinity, they returned to Arcata,
where they were made fin guests of the
Native Daughters of that place.
Tnis evening a sunipuous banquet will
be tendered them at the Western Hotel,
where covers have been laid to the entire
capacity of the largest dining-room in this
city. This is regarded as a fitting close of
the week's festival. At 10 o'clock to-night
farewell speeches will be spoken by the
retiring and in-coming grand officers and
ci izens of Eureka. The delegates will
leave the banquet hall and proceed to the
sieainer Pomona which leaves at 5 A, M.,
while the citizens of Eureka are soundly
sleeping. _
A ROW OVER PENSIONS.
Congressmen Call Each Other Names
and Then Explain.
Washington, April 27. — Twenty-one
private pension Dills passed tells the story
of the day's work in the House. Mr. Hep
burn of lowa, wbo bas been harassing the
Democratic tide daily for a week to force
action on these pension bllts, finally suc
ceeded to-day, through tbe aid of Mr.
Pickler of ,'South Dakota who has been
acting with him, and the bills were passed.
The beneficiary of one of the bills, an
old lady of 96, totally blind, the widow of
a soldier of the war of 1812, bad died since
her bill was reported from last Fr:day
night's session. Whin It was read and
about to be placed upon its passage Mr.
Taylor of Indiana Interrupted by saying:
"Never mind, Mr. Sp«aker, thnt bill can
be laid as de, the old lady is dead."
The members who bad been chatting
and laughing stopped. Tiiere was a ran
meni of sileuce. The relief for which the
old lady had been striving so long was at
hand, but like many other Congressional
claims it came too late.
The clerk paused and then went on read
ing tflie next hill. The remainder of the
day wan devoted to the consideration of
private bills.
The usual monotony of tne Friday night
session wa3 brokeu when the members
were in a rancorous temper. Lies passed
and two members were called to order for
unparliamentary language. Talbert (D)
from South Carolina, who has been trying
for several weeks to get into the record a
series of articles on the subject of pen
sions, repeated his attempt to-night. All
his requests were refused.
Pickier of South Dakota was particularly
determined in his opposition, Both gen
tlemen showed signs of temper.
"Tnal is the most slanderous attack on
Union soldiers ever published," aaid Pick
ler.
"The gentleman is talking of something
he knows nothiDg about," shouted Tal
bert.
"The gentleman from South Carolina,"
continued Pickler, "is only trying to slan
der Union soldiers'"
"1 deny it," said Talbert, shaking his
fist. "The gentleman has uttered a falsn
hood, pure and simple."
Instantly a dozen members on the Re
publican side were on their feet, and
HeDburn called Talbert to order and de
manded that his words be taken down.
They were read from the Clerk's desk, and
after some wrangling Talbert was given
permission to explain. He began his ex
planation by stating that he was sorry he
was obliged to aay what he had, but it was
true. He would withdraw what he had
said, however, if Pickler would withdraw
bis remarks.
The tone of the South Carolinan's ex
planation did not seem to suit Baker,
Republican, of North Hampshira, wbo
declared that the cxi lanation was fully as
offensive as the original language, and he
again called Talbert to order. He bad no
further explanation to make, however,
and took his seat, when Pickler arose and
made a statement which again kindled
tue flames of partisanship. The paper
which printed these articles, he said, was
continually slandering and vilifying the
soldiers.
"Tbe gentleman from South Carolina,"
he added, turning toward Talbert, "has
slandered and vilified them every Friday
night. That is his object and I bold it iv
utter contempt."
Living-ton (D.) of Georgia jumped to his
feet, and in turn called Pickler to order.
After his words bad been read from the
clerk's desk, Martin of Indiana moved
that Pickler be permitted to explain.
"I don't want to explain," shouted Pick
ler. "I stand by wbat I have said and
this is nothing to take back."
At this point the c< unsel of cooler heads
prevailed. The excitement subsided, and
without further incident the House pro
ceeded and disposed of nine pension bills,
five of which were favorably acted upon.
The point of no quorum was then made,
and after a call of the Huuse, tbe House at
10:30 aojourned.
EX-GOVERNOR BbRRY DEAD.
He Was One of Lincoln's Stanchest
Supporters During the War.
Concobd, N. H., Anril 27.— Ex-Governor
N. S. Beny died to-day in Bristol of pneu
monia, aged 08.
Nathaniel Springer Berry was born in
Bath, Me., Septemoer 1, 1796. His father,
Abuer Berry, was a shipbuilder and his
grandfather a captain of infantry n the
Revolutionary War. When he wa« 6 years
old his father died, and the condition of
his family nai such that his lot was cast
among strangers, and bis educational ad
vantages were limited. At the age of 16 he
moved to Ne» Hampshire, and was ap
prenticed as a tanner, serving until be was
21, and in 1820 be engaged In the manufac
ture of leather, which business he fo lowed
for many years, in 1828 and for ten years
afterward be represented the town of
Bristol in the State Legislature, acting
with the Democratic party, and was a
delegate to the National Convention at
Baltimore in 1848; but the action of this
conveution on the slavery question caused
him to break bis party ties, and he became
one of the organizers of the Fiee-,Soil party
in New Hampshire. At its u'rst fc> ate con
veutlon, in 1845, he was nominated for
Governor and received votes enough to
prevent an election by the people. He was
renomlnated at four succeeding conven
tions, in March, 1861, he was elected
Governor of New Hampshire by the Re
publicans, and re-electvd the following
year, serving until June, 1863. He was in
dsfatignble in his e fforts to aid the General
Government in the suppression of the Re
bellion, and enlisted, armed, equipped and
forwarded to the seat of war more tiian
16,000 men. He also sinned, together witb
the other Northern war Governors, the
letter of June 28, ISG2. to President Lin
coln, upon which I)* m»de the call on July
1, 1802, for 300,000 volunteers. The Inter
years of his life were spent at Bristol,
which had been his home for over seventy
years.

San Jose. April 27.— The defense in trie
case of H. M. Leonard, the Santa Clara
bank-wrecker, on trial for embezz ement,
to-day created a great surprise in the Su

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1894.
THE STRIKE IS ON
Everything Closed Up on
the Northern.
HILL SAYS TRAINS WILL RUN.
That He Has Men Enough to
Keep Traffic Moving.
BUT THE STRIKERS DENY THIS.
The Bitter Contest Between the
Road and the Members of the
American Railway Union.
Minneapolis, April 27.— The American
Railway Union this afternoon called out
all the men iv the employ of the Great
Northern In the Twiu Cities. The strike
is now on from St. Paul to the coast.
President Hill proposed his plau of arbi
tration at the last conference between the
men's committee and the road, but it was
rejected.
St. Paul, April 27.— 1n his reply to the
men last night Mr. Hill Invited them to
come again and look over the schedules,
and suggested arbitration as a proper so
lution of their troubles, and, contrary to
expectations, th« Great Northern officials
were again in conference with a committee
of the A. R U. to-day. Both sides ex
pressed themselves as firmly opposed to
yielding anything, the men demanding the
old wage scale, and Hill askiDg for arbi
tration.
After a conference Vice President Clough
said: "We know no more than yesterday
about the men's position in regard to
arbitration."
When asked for a statement of the situ
ation after the strike was declared on the
entire Northern system to-day. President
Debs of the American Railway Union said :
•'The conference with Mr. Hill was
carried on pleasantly, but without effect
cf bringing them any closer together. As
to the claim he has enough men to run
the road. I believe Mr. Hill has been mis
informed by bis own friends, who over
estimate their numbers.
"Strict orders have been issued, saying
that all strikers along tbe lino stay In
their homes and refrain from the running
of any trains wbicb the company mny at
tempt to move. If any violence is offered,
or if aoy injury is done tbe prop
erty of tbe company, it will be
in direct violation of the instructions of
the committee, but the trains will not run
simply because tbe company cannot get
men to handle them. The committee
takes the ground that having appealed
against a wrong that was inflicted upon
them the men should not be asked to
arbitrate. It does not admit of arbitra
tion. I don't anticipate the strike will ex
tend to the Northern Pacific for the pres
ent at least."
President Hill was called on immedi
ately aTter the order fora general strike
had been issued and stated that he bud
very little additional to say, other than
what had already been given out. The
company, he said, proposed to operate its
road independent of the American Rail
way Union.
To-night everything is closed up in these
two cities and along the line of the road.
The Brotherhood men, although not ac
tively joining thu strikers, seem disin
clined to work with the non-union men,
and fear the possible dangers of green
men on 'he switches.
Seattle, Wash., April 27.— 1t trans
pired to-night that the Great Northern
bad a well-laid t lan to break the strike
on this end of the line thu morn
ing, but it was foiled by closing the
ranks of the (strikers. Tbe Incipient
t) e;i!c arose from appeals to the
loyalty of engine and train men to their
brotherhoods which came from the East.
Being promised recognition as brother
hood man by the company their enthusi
asm for the strike brgan to cool, and they
announced themselves ready to go to work.
A conference with the local officials was
held, at which the engineers, conduct rs
aud brakemen were promised if tbev would
go to work President Hili would make
concessions. The engineers and trainmen
promised to accept provided that the fire
men who were not represented at the
meeting would assent. It was arranged
that the train should go out at the regu
lar hour In the morning. The firemen,
however, refused at a meeting to-night to
accept the conditions, and the engineers
declined to go out with scab firemen. As
the firemen were a unit on this question,
this disposed of the break In the forces of
the strlktrc.
YOUNG PATRIOTS.
It Has Become a Custom
in the Schools.
All the Schools Celebrated the Day
With Exercises Calculated to
Stimulate Patriotism.
"Patriotic day" has become a custom of
the public schools. It is looked forward to
each month with increased enthusiasm by
the young peorde, and nothing can exceed
the united force with which the stirring
songs of the nation are Mine. Jii > wry
school yesterday the patriotic exercises
ordered by the board were repeated. Lin
coln School, as usual, had a most elaborate
progrHmme of exercises. In the ui'i>«i
hall the boys all gathered in the afternoon
and there recited extracts from the great
patriotic speeches and writings and
listened to addresses by the tenders.
These are some of tn» pieces declaimed by
the enthusiastic pupils: "The Old Fl >g,"
Oliver Wilson; "Our Flap," James Bridt;
"The Stars and Stripe*," Daniel Lynch;
"Sheridan's Ride." Walter Janke; "Union
and Liberty," Harry Banner; "Our Coun
try," George Perkins; "The Coming
Schoolmaster," Alfred Anderson; "The
American Flae," Paul Schaffner; "Liberty
and Union," Joseph Stach.
An excellent address was delivered by
Professor Knowlton on the subjeot of
"Our Flog." In substance Mr. Knowlron
Bald:
"Every nation has its flag, the symbol of
its national life, the pride of its loyal citi
zens, not as much in itself as for what it
reDresont". The American colonies were
the children of England. Our flag was the
tlag or England at first without change.
Then little by little nktng on oue slight
change after another till now we have not
a sttigle thing about it which ever ap
peared on the British flag except only the
colors. Before the union of the colonies
each one had its own flag. Right after the
battle of Lexngtou Connecticut began to
display on its flag the emblem and the
motto of the colony. Thn early armed
ships tent out from New York bad a
beaver on their ensigns. Massachusetts
displayed a white flag with a green Dine
iree. Maine was originally a part of
Massachusetts, so she still keeps the pine
tree as her State emblem, though she has
aStiieflng. Onr first navßl Hhk was that
of Commodore HnpkiDS. His flag showed
a banner of yellow with a rattlesnake iv
the act of striking and the motto under
neath, 'Dnn'i tread on me.'
"In 1770. the day after New Year's,
Washing; n displayed at Cambridge what
they began to call the great Union flag.
That ha<l the thirteen stripes, just as «c
have now, nno for each colony. According
to superstitious people thirteen may be an
unlucky number for cuests sitting at a
table, but it has proved the luckiest of
numbers in the political history ot our
country. Jn the left upper corner they
had tbe crosses of St. Andrew, the
patron saint of Scotland, and the cross
of St. George, who wan tne patron saint of
Eugland. The cross of St. George is an
upright cross, like our sign of addition—
most appropriate because we had a<ldeci
extensive and valuable territories to Eng
land. The cross of St. Andrew was an
oblique cross, like our sign of multiplica
tion—also appropriate, as the addition of
these colonies greatly multiplied the
sources of wealth for the Old Country.
"The corner occupied by the combined
crosses they called the 'canton,' the word
still used iv the science of heraldry. We
commonly call it the 'union.' That was
also tbe fitting nod for ihe same part of
the old English flag, which bore in that
corner the three crosses of St. Andrew for
Scotland, St. George for England and St.
Patrick for Ireland. Now ihe United
Mute- has dropped tbe crosses and filled
the place with the stars, which, as Con
gress fitly said in the act of 1777, stand fnr
ihe birth of a new constellation in the
political world.
"In 1794, when the number of colonies
had grown to fifteen, the flag was changed
to fifteen stripes and fif;een stars. Tba'
plan lasted for more than twenty years.
Then, in 1618, they changpa the number
of stripes Daek to the original number —
thirteen — and that number has been ae
cepied as fitly recording the original num
ber of colonies which formed the firnt
American Union. The recognition and
the recording of the increasing number of
Mates is done among the stars up in the
left-hand upper corner. Every time a
new State comes into the Union a new
star rises in tbe blue sky of that patriotic
firmament
"The law has nothing to say about the
arrangement of the stars. \V> may set
them as we like. But the War Depart
ment usually sets them in the very hand
some and appropriate form of a large
star — that is, a s'ar uiaije of stars. The
navy sets them in parallel lines. The
stripes must be arranged in this way: A
red at the top and the bottom, making
seven red and six white stripes. The
union must be seve stripes deep. Tbe
proportion of the flag is about two to
three.
"The flag is made of bunting. That is a
kind of woolen goods woven of a peculiar
kind of thread »r yarn spun very evenly
and made to have as little fuzz as possi
ble. The fabric must show alike on both
sides. It is said that the only factory for
the making of this bunting is in Lowell,
Mass., and belonged to General Beu But
ler.
"The left-hand upper corner, called the
.union,' must be made of blue and bear
the stars in white. The stars must be
five-pointed. This Dart of the flag is
used alone. You may frequently see It
flying, especially from United St.tes ves
sels. It is called the 'jack.'>or iv full the
union j;i ck.'
"The eloquence and the Doetry which
have clustered round the Old Fl g will be
giVfn y.u by s< me of the speakers of the
hour. Mine is th*» humbler to remind you
of the history and the statistics which ap
pear in the flag. The stripes stand, al
ways, for the old, original thir t-en ; the
sttirs for the present number of States,
whatever it may be. So the old thirteen
have double honor on the flag, they have
each a stripe and a star, while those
which have coii'e In since have each a star
alone.
"It Is ours to keep them ever bright, to
see that no stripe is ever taken away, that
no star Is ever dimuieil. Ours to emulate
the noblest words of America's noblest
orator:
"'Let my last feeble and lingering
glance behold the g Tgeou* ensign of our
republic, now known and honored
throughout all the earth, still full high
advanced, its arms and trophies streaming
in their original luster, not a stripe erased
or polluted, not a niiiKle star obscured,
bearing tor it- motto no such miserable
interrogatory as "What is all this worth?"
or (hose other word" of delusion and folly,
"Liberty first and Union afterward," but
eveiyw here, spread all over iv letters of
livißg light, that nobler sentiment dear to
every true tv American heart, liberty and
union now and forever, one and insepar
able.' "
Alter the address th*» whole audience
aaug "The Star-Spangled liaoner" and
then saluted the fl*g. Lincoln School has
an advantage over some others in its big
hall. At the Commercial Htg:i School
there is not tlm advantage and ihe cia?ses
celebrated in their own rooms. These
exercises took the general character iv all
the Bchi>ols of that at Lmcolu School. At
J< fferson Primary a most exciting time
was hud, the youngsters' friends and rela
tives helping to fill the great hall. The
Drnnian School ana other schools also hnd
their patriotic exercises.
ROYALISTS MEET.
They Refuse to Support the Gov-
merit. ;
Honolulu. April 11. 1894.— a large meet
log of Hi- ° royalists! was held lust Monday
evening Id Palace square. „ There were about
2000 prisons present; a large number of these
' were Chinese. Kuulaukou was I lie chairman.
The meeting was called (or (tie purpose of
protesting against the aciion of the: Gover
nment In holding the coming constitutional
convention,; tbe claim being that the people
were not given a voice in the mutter, owing to
the oath necessary to become a. voter. . . •
A lengthy preamble and resolutions were
presented and uuanlmously adopted. These
were to the effect that the Provisional Govern
ment, having called for a convention at which
is to be prepared 'and ° promulgated a constitu
tion for the Islands, and having declared that
any one can vote for delegates to the conven
tion, all lniendlng voters shall register and
take an oath to support the Provisional Got
einment, that it was the sense of the meeting
that none should register or take the oath. ..
Although such a laige crowd r was present
very littl*- entbn*la»:n was manifested. Several
rather fiery speeches were made, but < very
speaker counseled that no violence be resorted
to. •' „ ■;.■■ }..:,; -.. ■ ; • -. ;, ;
" It has been the claim of the royalists for
some time that a split existed in the ranks of
the .nnexatlnnlsts. This claim . can : now be
staled in legard to the royalists, who have
during the last two days developed quite a feud
among ttiermelvas. / •■ .'■ ■ „ '
Tins was started by the fact that tbe names
of several of the committee who. were snp
posed to 1 have called the mass-meeting were
used without authority, and they objected.
Circular* were Issued during the afternoon by
J. K. Kaulla, the president of "Hui Aloha
A iiia" (Love of Country League), one of the
strongest of the royalist clubs, advising all Da
tives not to attend the meeting. The circular
also stated that all tbe Government forces were
to b Übere aimed, and that It was as much as
a royalist's life was worth to be preseut.
The registration proceeds very slowly. Many
of Hie prominent- A merle ns will not lake the
oath of allegiance, as they fear to lose the right
to vote In hi United states. This, coupled
wlin the fact that the Government has declared
no intention of submitting the new constitution
to a popular vote for lalihcatioii, Is keeping tb
majority or voters from the polls. Only 700
out of 13,000 have registered. ,
The Fire Record.
An alarm from box 239 was rung at 7:28
o'clock last night for a small fire in a tannery
on Iwentieih street, near Alabama; loss $300.
A clilniuey n.e at Van N«*« avenue caused
tlie alarm (roui box 94 at 8:13 o'clock.

zilian insuraents, includiDg Da Gams, on
the Portuguese war ships have escaped.
AMATEURS AGOG.
After All They May Be
Professionals.
OLD RULES ARE ENFORCED.
The Eckhardt- Andrews Match
Not Sanctioned.
THEIR TROPHY TOO VALUABLE.
The .Managers of the Pacific Amateur
Association Want Pure Ama
teurs or Nothing.
The board of managers of the Pacific
Amateur Association held a meeting last
evening, and as a result the amateur
standing of a good many of the club mem
bers of this coast may be in Hanger. Not
that the board did anything to assail the
aforesaid members directly, but it decided
to enforce the rules of thu association
rules that have been and are baing con
stantly violated.
The question came up by a presentation
of a petition from the Olympic Club of this
city and one from the Acme Club of Oak
land, asking that the board sanction the
coming wrestling maich between Eckhardt
of ihe Olympic and Andrews < f the Acme,
which will come off early in May. After
much talk tbe board returned answer that
the men were to wrestle for a trophy much
more valuable than the amateur rules
allow, and t:at therefore the match could
not be sanctioned.
The rules allow a trophy worth 835 and
no more. Eckhardt and Andrews will
wrestle for one worth £600, for it is not
supposed that the match will be stopped
because the board withhold sanction. It
will cause a great deal of discussion, how
ever, and should either contestant ever try
o enter another amateur contest there
may be a protest, and they would in all
probability be ruled out. This interpre
tation of the rule, and there can be no
other, merely serves to bring aEnin to no
tice a oause which has been disregarded
for jears. Boxing matches have b»en
given in the various clubs for trophies
varying in value fmm SSO to 8100 or $150.
Wrestling prizes have been proportionate
in value, while the trophies f<-r inter-club
matches have sometimes exceeded this
limit. By tn* strict enforcement of tbe
rule which actuated the board in its denial
last evening the winners of all these iro
pbies bave injured their amateur standing.
The discussion of the question before
tbe final decision was announced «as long
and earnes . The ixiard tried in every way
to get around tbe question to enforce the
ruin and mill allow tbe match to proceed,
for that match is the talk of amateur cir
cles on both sides of the bay. I' was
pointed out that uy enforcing the rule am
ateur sport would be perma ently injured,
for unless a trophy of decent vulue w»s
offered athlpt-s would not spend the time
necessary to make a creditable showing at
a meeting. It was claimed, too, that the
growth of indoor athletics dates almost
trom the time valuable prizes have been
given ; but all the talk did not change tti
rule. It is as easy for the camel to go
through tbe proverbial eye of the needle
as for Efkhard- and Andrews to wrestle
for a $600 tropbv, and still not violate tbe
rule setting the value limit at $35.
This (act was finally recognized and the
sanction was refused.
This does not pass upon the men as
amateurs, however; that will be done
afterward when any one raises an objec
tion to their entering an xain'eur even'-.
Another appl'cation — that of the San
Francisco Athletic Club and tbe Sacra
mento Athletic Club— to allow an mt-i
--club boxing ma'ch of ten rounds, was also
refused on the ground that amateur rules
forbade more than four rounds, thereby
striking nn'ther blow at a common viola
tion of an amateur rule. The object of all
this is, so tbe members of the board say.
to put a stop to th> v amateurs who art at
heart professionals; to prevput men from
entering events fnr the value of the prizes
ratner than the glnry of posiible victory.

Advised to Take Hood's Sarsapa-
rllla and is Cured.
"U. I. Hood A Co., Lowell, Mass.:
"I am glad to say that I am In better health now
than 1 have been for a long time. Myself and wife
have taken Hood's / Sarsaparllla for the past four
months, and I can truly say that. It his done us
more good than any other medicine we have ever
taken. 1 was troubled with dyspepsia for brer
two years. I also had a slight touch of consumption '
and was frequently off duty. .
Unable to Work.
1 spent a good portion of my earnings for doctors',
bills and other medicine, which did ma good only
for a little time.. My employers urged me to take
Hood's Sarsaparllla, so I bought one bottle and be-
gan its un about 'the first of April, at that time
weighing only 150 : pounds, although my usual
weight was 180 pounds. ; After using the bottle 1
felt that I was better, so I purchased five more
bottles. I; am taking tha sixth bottle now and
since commencing ;to ' take Hood's Sarsaparllla
have bad only one slight attack of • illness. My
Hood's s^- Cures
present weight* is 165 pounds, and Ido not feel
that 1 was ever sick In my life." E. D. Ucbbabd,
