PRESIDENT HADLEY’S Y1EWS S
President Arthur T. Hadley, of
Yale University, is to be the next al¬
umni orator at the University of
Georgia. It is of interest to note
some of the views of this distinguish¬
ed educator, views that he does not
hesitate to promulgate In his own
home and which he preaches to the
students under his direction in the
great university over which he pre¬
sides.
In a recent sermon to the students
of Yale he said:
"As we look back on the pages of
history, the men whose figures rise
largo and inspiring are not those who
amassed fortunes or won bottles or
conquered empires; but those who
amid the hostility of the critics and
the Indifference of the world about
them, have strongest stood for prin¬
ciples. The battles and the fortunes
of a Marlborough—may, the very em¬
pire of a Louis—pale before the majes¬
tic constancy of puqxwe of William of
Orange. In the great drama of sla¬
very and secession we draw our lar¬
gest inspiration, not from the brilliant
arguments of the orators nor the bril¬
liant strategy of the generals, but
from the patient endurance of two
great, heavy-hearted men on opposite
sides, unlike in aii else but alike in
unselfish devotion to principle, as
they understand it, Lee ami Lincoln.
"What man of you, when the choice is
placed squarely" before you, Would
not prefer the immortality of William
to that of Ixmls or Marlltorough'.'
Who would not choose to bear the
burdens of a Lee or a Lincoln, rather
than to enjoy the honors of the most
successftii general or the most bril¬
liant orator?”
Georgia’s Real Candidate.
Washington (V>. C.) Post.
The Hon. Clark Howell continues
to sniff at the charitable enterprise con¬
ducted by the Hon. Hoke Bmlth and
the Gal in the Fountain, and his
aspersions upon the pensive maiden
who stands with her feet among the
alligators and mudeata and her eyes
upon the stars are such as to arouse to
fury the gallant partisans of the Hon.
Hoke. The Hon. Hoke, on his part,
sees in the editor of the Atlanta Con¬
stitution an ally of the blooded monop¬
olies that are suck Lug the lifeblood of
Georgia. So clearly does he see this,
and so vividly does he convey his im¬
pressions to his audience, that it Is re¬
ported from Newnan that "the citizens
have petitioned Hon. Hoke Smith to
make another speech, although he
made one only about ten days ago.’’
—This is a pretty' fight as it stands.
But these gladiators do not to 1
appear
grasp the great fact, so patent to the
outside world, that their deadliest foe
is another and a plainer Georgian- •
Plain Dick Russell, the only true lover
of the people. While the two Atlanta
candidates are pummellng each other,
PI ain Dick is pursuing tacties which
cannot fail to appeal to the citizenry of
his beloved State. He has Just added
to his campaign equipment the resist¬
less slogan, "No race suicide In Geor¬
gia!" and has proved his good faith by
becoming the father of another
bouncing boy. Bqme reports declare
that this is his ninth, and others, more
specific, make this hte thirteenth con¬
tribution to the glory of his State.
Plain Dick was to speak in Lee county,
but the important development of his
I suicide theory kept him at

as to mlfijadge the terrific Impetus of
such campaigning? What has the Gal
in the Fountain ever done in comparison
with Plain Diels Rusaeir? Rumordoes
not sstisy public curiosity as to the
number of arrows in the quivers of
other giants, but Plain Dick Ruaeeli’s
record is written so that all men can
read.
Immediately after Plain Dick had
established his right to champion anti-
race suicide he broke the record in
Georgia for rapid-fire apeeohmaking.
A dispatch from Newnan says:
"Plain Dick Russell made eight
speeches In two days. The places at
which he spoke are Moreland, Grant-
vllle, Madras, Newnan, Sargent, Senola
and Sharpsburg. He spoke twice at
Newnan."
At some of these places Plain Dick
demanded a “square deal and a square
meal" for the people of Georgia. At
other* he hurled forth hia denunciation
of race suicide. At others he announc¬
ed that a 2-eent railroad fare would
heal the people’s ills. He seemed
intuitively to diagnose the troubles of
his fellow-citizens, and his remedy
followed so quickly upon the heels of
the diagnosis that It galled its kibe.
And yet Clark Howell and Hoke
Smith think they are running for gov¬
ernor of Georgia.
Cotton May Soli for 20 Cents.
Macon, Ga., July 2.—"Within the
next ten years cotton will sell at 20
cents per pound,’’ said Air. K. B. Price,
one of the best posted men in Macon
and a farmer of long experience. Mr.
Price made a small fortune raising
cotton at 0 to 7 cents a pound, but he
says he lets his land lie Idle now
rather than try to overcome the scar¬
city of labor. The fact, that ten cents
can be secured and can be counted
on as sorely at six cents In former
year* does not tempt him. He says
the negro Is no longer reliable as a
worker, and the day ha* come for the
south to devise a new method. "When
you see 20-cent cotton,” said he, "you
will find that It to being raised with¬
out the negro and th emule. Bach
farmer will do his own work and will

Infant Drowns In a Tub.
Atlanta, July 2.—Aline Black,
the Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John L. Black, of 97 Stonewall street,
was found dead In large tub of w.ter,
about 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
where she had melt her death by
drowning. The parents of (he child
had missed her for a few minutes
and fearing she had wandered off
somewhere In her play, instituted a
search, which brought about the above
result. No one knows exactly how
the accident happened, but it Is sup¬
posed that the little girl fell into the
tub and was unable to get out or at¬
tract the attention of any one within
hearing. Four or five physicians were
summoned, but all efforts to restore
circulation,failed. The age of the lit.
tie child was one year.

to death by an unknown negro la¬
borer last night. The negro called

ME ANTI-CANTEEN AMENDMENT
••■•top Daniel’* Beat Ar*on*eat for
Jmmrmtorra Exposition Appropria¬
tion—faaaaaer Style* In Coaareaa.
White Flannel* nnd Frock Cants.
By ARTHUR AY. DUNN.
Washington, June 28. — [Special.]—
That adjournment ol the present ses¬
sion was brought about without ex¬
tending into July was due in a great
measure to the management of Sen¬
ator Hale. Having in charge the last
three large appropriation bills the
Maine senator, with the skill for which
he is noted, alternately pleaded with
the senators, acoided and threatened
and sometlmei “bluffed” them Into
acquiescence with his plans. Of course
everybody wanted to get away, but no
one wanted to betray any anxiety
upon the subject, so it was left to the
Maine senator to push along the busi¬
ness and get the supply bills Into con¬
ference and back Into the two houses
with agreements so that there would
be no reason to keep congress in ses¬
sion. Hale appeals to reason and when
blocked by factious opposition be
spares not the men who stand in the
way. When he settles back in bis
chair with a threat of a night session
there follow hurried conferences and
the senators who have stood out
against Hale are persuaded by friends
to withdraw their opposition. In one
way or another he generally has his
way.
It Was Hansbrough’s.
Some controversy arose as to who
was entitled to the authorship of the
anti-canteen amendment which has
been so widely discussed not only in
congress but in every military report
and by the W. C. T. U. organizations
everywhere. Senator Hansbrough of
North Dakota' offered the amendment
to au army appropriation bill, and
nearly everybody was surprised when
it was adopted. When this amend¬
ment proved Ineffective Hansbrough
offered a second amendment to anoth¬
er bill and had it in such shape that
could not be avoided by the shrewdest
of lawyers.
Senator Daniel's Argument,
When Senator Daniel went before
senate committee ou appropriations
present bis amendment for an
ation for the Jamestown exposition
was fortified with a long
to show why it should lie made to
sundry civil bill. He began by
that he had seen seventy-four
nnd all but four hart agreed to
the amendment.
"That will do, senator,”
Senator Hale. “I will put it In
any further argument."

that the president Should pay for

San Francisco
AsItUsedtoBe
Gayest of Cities That Gave
itself to Romance, Love
and Pleasure.
AU Nations of the Earth Met In Its Cos-
floes — Where Lavish Hospitality,
Oayety to Restaurants and
Love ot Open Air Life
Abounded.
Ttae old San Francisco Is dead. The
gayest, lightest hearted, most pleasure
loving city of this continent and in
many ways the most Interesting and
romantic Is a horde of huddled refu¬
gees living among ruins, says the New
York Sun. It has already started to re¬
build, but those who have known that
peculiar city by the Golden Gate and
have caught Its flavor of the Arabian
Nights feel that it can never be the
same. It is as though a pretty, frivo¬
lous woman had passed through a
great tragedy. She survives, but she Is
sobered and indifferent. When It rises
out of the ashes it must be a modern
city, much like other cities and with¬
out its old flavor.
The city lay on a series of hills and
the lowlands between. These hills are
really the end of the coast range of
mountains which He between the Inte¬
rior valleys and the ocean to the south.
To Its rear was the ocean, but the
greater part of the town fronted on
two sides on San Francisco bay, a
body of water always tinged with gold.
from the great washings of the moun¬
tain, usually overhung with a haze and
of magnificent color changes. Across
the bay to the north lies Mount Tamal-
pais, about 5,000 feet high and so close
that ferries from the water front took
one in less than half an hour to the lit¬
tle towns of Sausalito and'Belvldere,
at its foot.
Peculiar Yet Delightful Climate.
The climate of California Is peculiar;
it Is hard to give an Impression of It
In the first place ail the forces of na¬
ture work on laws of their own In that
part of California. There is no thunder
or lightning; there is no snow except a
flurry once in five or six years; there
are perhapahalf a dozennlghts In the
winter when^rire—thetTnometer drops
low enough so that there is a little film
of ice on exposed water in the morn¬
ing. Neither is there any hot weather,
l’et most easterners remaining In San
l-'rancisco for a few days remember
that they were always chilly.
For the Gate is a big funnel, draw¬
ing in the winds and the mists which
cool off tht* great, hot interior valleys
of the San Joaquin and Sacramento.
So the west wind blows steadily ten
mouths of the year, and almost all the
mornings are foggy. This keeps the
temperature steady at about 55 de¬
grees—a little cool for comfort of an
unacellmated person, especially In¬
doors. Californians, used to it, hardly
ever think of making fires In their
houses except in the few exceptional
days of the winter season, and then
they rely mainly upon fireplaces. This
Is like the custom of the Venetians
and the Florentines.
But give an easterner six months of
it, and he, too, learns, to exist with¬
out a chill In a steady temperature a
little lower than that to which be Is
accustomed at home. After that one
goes about with perfect Indifference to
the temperature. Summer and winter
San Francisco women wear light tailor
made clothes, and men wear the same
fall weight suits all the year around.
Picturesque Entrance to City.
One usually entered the city by way
of San Francisco bay. Across Its yel¬
low flood, eovpred with the fleets from
X* the strange . z_____________ seas of _*» s-Uz, the Dnnlfln Pacific, Con San
Francisco presented itself In a hill
panorama. Probably no other city of
the world could be so viewed and In¬
spected at first sight. It rose above
tbe passenger as he reached dockage
in a succession of hill terraces.
At one side was Telegraph hill, the
end of the peninsula, a height so abrupt
that it had a 200 foot sheer' cliff on
its seaward frontage. Farther along
lay Nob bill, crowned,with the Mark
Hopkins mansion, which had the effect
of a citadel, and In later years by the
great, white Falrmount Farther along
was Russian hill, the highest point
Below was tbe business district whose
low site caused all the trouble.
Except for the modem buildings, tbe
fruit of the last ten years, the town
presented at first sight a disreputable
appearance. Most of the buildings
were low and of wood. In the middle
period of the seventies, when * great
part of Siin Francisco was building,
there was some ntroclous architecture
perpetrated. In that time, too, every
one put bow windows on his house to
catch all of the morning sunlight that
was coming through the fog, and those
little houses, with bow windows and
fancy work all down their fronts, were
characteristic of the middle class resi¬
dence district. Then the Italians, who
tumbled over Telegraph hill, had built
as they listed nnd with little regard
for streets, and their houses hung
crazily on 'a side hill which was little
less than a precipice. For the most
part the Chinese, although they occu¬
pied an abandoned business district,
had remade the houses Chinese fash¬
ion. nnd the Mexicans and Spaniards
had added to their houses those little
balconies without which life Is not lift
to a Spaniard.
Yet the most characteristic thing
after all was the coloring, for tbe sea
fog had n trick of painting every ex¬
posed object a Sea gray which' had a
tinge of dull green In It. This, under
the leaden eky of a San Francisco morn¬
ing. lu F- had ha<l a « depressing depressing effect enect on ou first nisi
j | *l«ht to the and eye, afterward for the color became was sort, a delight gen-
1 tie and lnfiuitely attractive In mass.

the city fell always Into vistas
pictures, a setting for toe romance
hung over everythlug^whlch has
bung over lift In 2RM Francis¬
since the padfes came and gathered
the Indians about Mission Dolores.
And it was a city of romance and a
to adventure. It opened out
the mysterious Pacific, the untamed
and most of China, Japan, the
south sea islands, Lower California,
the west coast of Central America,
Australia that came to the United
States passed in through the Golden
Gate. There was a sprinkling, too, of
Alaska add Siberia. From his windows
on Russian hill one saw always some¬
thing strange and suggestive creeping
through the mists of the bay. It would
be a south sea Island brig bringing in
copra, to take out cottons and idols;
a Chinese Junk with fan-like sails, back
from an expedition after Bbarks’ livers;
an old whaler, which seemed to drip
oil, back from a year of cruising In the
arctic. Even the tramp wind Jamfbers
were -deep chested craft, capable of
rounding the Horn or of circumnavi¬
gating the globe, and they came In
streaked and picturesque from their
long voyaging.
In the orange colored dawn which
always comes through the mists of
that bay the fishing fleet would crawl
tri under triangular lateen sails, for the
fishermen of San Francisco bay are all
Neapolitans, who have brought their
costumes and their customs and sail
with lateen rigs shaped like the ear
of a horse when the wind fills them
and stained an orange brown.
Along the water froDt the people of
these craft met. “The smelting pot
of the races,” Stevenson called it, and
this was always the city of his soul.
There are black Gilbert islanders, al¬
most indistinguishable from negroes;
lighter Kanakas from Hawaii or Sa¬
moa, Lascars In turbans, thickset Rus¬
sian sailors, wild Chinese with un¬
braided hair, Italian fishermen In tam-
o’-shanters, loud shirts and blue sashes;
Greeks, Alaska Indians, little bay
Spanish-A mericans, together with men
of all the European races. These came
in and out from among the queer craft
to lose themselves In the disreputable,
tumbledown, but always mysterious,
shanties and small saloons. In the
back rooms of these saloons south sea
Island traders nnd captains, fresh from
the lands of romance; whaling mas¬
ters, people who were trying to get up
treasure expeditions, filibusters, Alas¬
kan miners, used to meet and trade ad¬
ventures.
In tbe Haunts of Crime.
The Barbary Coast was a loud bit of
hell. No one knows who coined tbe
natne.^ The place was simply three
blocks' of solid dance halls, there for
the delight of the sailors of the world.
On a flue busy night every door blared
loud dance music from orchestras,
steam plunos and gramophones, and
tbe cumulative effect of the sound
which reached the street was at least
strange. Almost anything might be
happening behind the swinging'doors.
For a fine and picturesque bundle of
names cbaracterlstle of tbe place a
police story of three or four years ago
is typical. Hell broke out In the Eye
Wink dance hall. The trouble was
started by a sailor known as Kanaka
Pete, who lived in the What Cheer
House, over a woman known as Iodo¬
form Kate. Kanaka Pete chased the
man he had marked to the Little Sil¬
ver Dollar, where he turned and punc¬
tured him. The byproduct of bis gun
made some holes in the front of the
Eye Wluk, which were proudly kept as
souvenirs and were probably there un¬
til it went out in the fire. This was
low life, the lowest of the low.
Until the last decade almost any¬
thing except the commonplace and the
expected might happen to a man on the
water front. The cheerful industry of
shanghaiing was reduced to a science.
A stranger taking a drink In one of
the saloons which hung out over the
water might be dropped through the
floor into a boat or he might drink with
a stranger and wake in the forecastle
of a whaler bound for the arctic. Such
an incident Is the basis of Frank Nor¬
ris’ novel “Moran of the Lady Letty,"
and, although the novel draws it pretty
strong, It is not exaggerated. Ten
years ago the police and the foreign
consuls, ‘ working together, stopped
this.
Kearney street, a wilder and stran¬
ger Bowery, was the malu thorough¬
fare of these people. An exiled Cali¬
fornian, mourning over the city of his
heart, once said: ; -
“In half an hour on Kearney street 1
could raise a dozen men for any wild
adventure, from pulling down a statue
to searching for the Cocos island treas¬
ure.”
This is hardly an exaggeration.
These are a few of the elements
which made tbe city strange and gave
It the glamour of romance which has so
strongly attracted such men as Steven¬
son, Frank Norris and Kipling. This
lay apart from the regular life of the
City, which was distinctive in itself.
The Californian is the second genera¬
tion of a picked nnd mixed stock. The
merry, the adventurous, often the des¬
perate, always tbe brave, deserted the
! south and New England in 1849 to rush
1 around the Horn or to try tbe perils of
i 1 the plains. They found there already
grown old In the hands of the Span-
: lards younger sons of hidalgos and
- many of them of the prondesr blood Of
Spain. To a great extent the pioneers
Intermarried with Spanish women, la
fact, except tliere. for a proud little colony
here and Vtte old Spanish blood
Is sunk In that of the conquering race.
Then there was an influx of Intellectu¬
al French people, largely overlooked In
the histories of the early days, nnd
, Latin leaven has had i*k influence.
A Distinctive Type.
Brought up In n bountiful country,
where no one really tins to work very
hard to live, nurtured on adventure,
scion of a free and merry stock, the
leal, native Californian Is a distinctive
ty;>e. ns far from the easterner In psy¬
chology as the extreme sclntberner is
from the Yankee. He Is easy going,
witty, hospitable, lovable^ inclined to
be unmoral rather than immoral in bis
personal habits aud above all easy to
meet and to know. Almve all these is
an art sense all through tbe populace,
which sets It off from any other part of
the country. This sense’is almost Lat¬
in In Us streugth. and the Californian
owes it to the leaven of Latin blood.
With such a people life was always
gay. It 0m did mt Abow it ou tte
SHeetsrarabT&e people 'of T5H*>
was because the winds made open
cafe* disagreeable at all seasons of tbe
year. Tbe gayety went on Indoors or
out on the hundreds ot estates that
fringed the city. It was noted for Its
restaurant*. Perhaps for people who
care not bow they spend their money
the very best could not be had there,
but for $1, 75 cents, 50 cents, 25 cents
or even 16 cents the restaurants afford¬
ed the best fare on earth at the price.
The San Francisco French dinner
and tbe San Francisco free lunch were
as the Public library to Boston or the
stock yards to Chicago. A number of
causes contributed to this, consumma¬
tion. Tbe country all about produced

Most of the French chefs at the big¬
gest restaurants were born in Canton,
China. Later the Italians, learning of
this country where good food is appre¬
ciated, came and brought their own
style. Householders always dined out
one or two nights of the week, and
boarding houses weTe scarce, for the
unattached preferred the restaurants.
The eating was usually better than the
surroundings.
Marvelous Meals In Little Hotels.
Meals that were marvels were served
in tumbledown little hotels. Most fa¬
mous of all the restaurants was tbe
Poodle Dog. There have been no less
than four restaurants of this name,
beginning with a-frame shanty where
in the early days a prince of French
cooks used to exchange recipes for
gold dust. Each succeeding restaurant
of the name has moved farther down¬
town, and the recent Poodle Dog
stands—or stood—on the edge of the
Tenderloin In a modern five story
building. And It typified a certain
spirit that there was in San Francisco;
For on the ground floor was a public
restaurant where there was served the
best dollar dinner on earth. It rank¬
ed with the best, and the others were
la San Francisco. Here, especially on
Sunday night, almost everybody went
to vary the monotony of home cooking.
Every one who was any one In the
town could be seen there off and on.
It was perfectly respectable. A tnan
might take his wife and daughter
there. On the second floor there were
private dining rooms, and to dine there
with one or more of the opposite sex
was risque, but not especially terrible.
But the third floor, and the fourth
floor, and tbe fifth! The elevator man
of the Poodle Dog, who held tbe job for
many years and never spoke unless
spoken to, wore diamonds and was a
heavy investor in real estate.
A City That Never Slept,
The city never went to bed. There
was no closing law, so that the saloons
kept open nights and Sundays at their
own sweet will. Most of them elected
to remain open until 3 o’clock in the
morning at least. Yet this restaurant
life does not exactly express the care¬
less pleasure loving character of the
people. In grent part their pleasures
were simple, inexpensive and out of
doors. No people were fonder of ex¬
peditions Into the country, of picnics—
which might be brought off at almost
any season of the year—and often long
tours in the great mountains and for¬
ests. And hospitality was nearly a
vice.
Centers of hospitality were the clubs,
especially the famous Bohemian and
the Family. Tbe latter 1 off¬
was an
shoot of the Bohemian, which had been
growing fast and vieing with the older
organization for the honor of entertain¬
ing pleasing and distinguished visitors.
“High society” in San Francisco had
settled down from the rather wild spir¬
it of the middle period. It had come
to be there a good deal as It Is else¬
where. There was much wealth, and
the hills of the western addition were
growing up with fine mansions. Out¬
side of the city, at Burlingame, there
was a fine country club centering a re¬
gion of country estates which stretch¬
ed out to Menlo park. This club had
a good polo team, which played every
year with teams of Englishmen from
southern California and even with
teams from Honolulu.
