one of these sermons fully 150 peo

lack of even standing room.
m "Splendid!1' This is the general
verdict of those who were fortunate
enough to attend the production of
"Honest Hearts" at the Opsra
Housp, Friday evening. There i8
something about this play that takes
hold of one aud hangs on. A per
son of feeling and imagination be
comes one of the characters being
portrayed and lives the part as - the
play progresses, and this fact, as
relates to "Honest Hearts," is what
makes it meritorious. The ylay
when produced by the company
headed by Alma Hearn, as given
in Corvallis, , we can heartily recom
mend to all. The cast is unusually
well balanced not a "stick" being
in evidence anywhere. There is
each an intermingling of humanity
and pathos that as the play pro
gresses one is hrst in joyous and then
in sorrowful mood.

WENT AGAINST US.
Berkeley Defeated OAC Saturday
in Battle Royal.
From what can be learned it appears
that the team eent forth from OAC to
play foot ball with Berkeley went op
against about every man enrolled at that
institution qualified to kick a pigskin.
This waa all right and we are none of us
going to sqiiak, even if we were defeat
ed. The prescription said the dose waa
for us and we take our medicine.
The boys are expected to arrive in
Corvallis on the three o'clock train this
afternoon and they will be received by
an enormous crowd and given as much
honor as if they had returned. victorious,
for they played a wonderful game, espec
ially in view' of the fact that just before
leaving they had' to change the forma
tion of the team on ' account of William
Lawrence ihooting himself in the leg. '
During the afternoon a large crowd
gathered at the telegraph office in town
awaiting news from the game. Finally
word came of the' first half and the re
sult was, Berkeley, 4, OAC nothing.
Berkeley had made a place kicK. On
some of us this news had a strange ef
fect We were not scared, but we
whistled a little after the fashion of a
f9llow' going through a graveyard, not
on account of- being frightened, but be
cause we were just lonesome.'
In the second half Berkeley made a
touch down and kicked goal, giving her
six points at a total of ten to OA.C's0.
During the game Berkeley was contin
ually changing men, taking out tired and
weak men and putting in fresh ones.
These facts are gathered from the tele
gram sent to Corvallis by our boys. This
afternoon when they get borne we will be
able to get a better account' of the game.
The journal of Sunday' gives the follow
ing good write-up :
California in a third attempt to win a
foot ball match from an Oregon college
was successful . today1 in defeating the
Agricultural college team from this state
by a score of 10 to 0. The Oregon em
bryo farmers were a strong set of players
and they made brave attempts to hold
the strong line-plunging el the California
backs. The game was a hard struggle
all the way, every yard being bitterly
contested.
The strenuous natuie of the play may
be judged by the number of men laid
out. The timers were kept busy calling
time for injured men.
California started with the four fresh
man backs, but although the little fel
lows played a good game, they were too
light for the heavy " Oregonians. After
ten minutes ot play the regular varsity
backs were sent in and by hard line
smashing and some good bucks outside
tactile brought the ball to Oregon's 20
yard line. Force then dropped back and
kick?d a beautiful goal just before the
close of the half.
The second half was not long in play
when Snedigar was given the ball on
California's 50 yard line for a buck out
side lelt tackle. Fine interference clear
ed the path for him and brushing aside
the Oregon half-back, Snedigar made a
60 yard run for a touch down. His speed
was remarkable. Force kicked the goal,
ending the scoring.

At the hour of going to press
yesterday afternoon a message
was received stating that the
college on the hill at Philo
math was being onsnmed by
fire. Details not obtainable.
Maro smilingly raised his band.
"I regret that I misunderstood you, but
I fancy the rest of those present will tes
tify that you explicitly stated that you
had no objections to 'my disposing of the
watch as I have done. Is it- not so?"
And he turned to the others.
As they had begun to realize that the
magician v as up to some deep game and
would extricate himself from an appar
ently awkward dilemma, three or four of
them admitted that the owner of the
watch had given full permission to thp
performer.
"Thank you," said Maro, bowing to
them, "and now as I seem to have caused
some little discomfort I will do what lean
to make amends."
Calling one of the deck hands he asked
for a salmon line and hook and on re
ceiving it moved to the side of the vessel
and began fishing. The crowd followed
him and was entertained by a brief and
humorous 1 talk on the pleasure of the
sport. Suddenly there was a yank on the
line and a moment later a six-pound sal
mon was flopping about the deck. Maro
seized the' struggling fisb, and called at
tention to a protuberance which was bard
to the touch. The fish was killed by one
of the crew and on being opened the miss
ing, watch wholly uninjured was found
and returned to the mystified owner.
Maro will appear in the local opera bouse
Monday, November 6.

Last year, while Maro, the famous ma
gician, waa filling some western engage
ments, he found himself one afternoon on!
bsard a small Columbia River steamer
with a numbar of well-known people, in
cluding the Hon. K. Bryce Wilraott, M.
P., and a partv of English and Canadian
tourists. It chanced that one of the Eng
lish travelers had seen a performance by
rMaro ia Paris, and, recognizing the wiz
ard, soon had the eatire crowd ia a fever
of exo'rtement about the. prestidigitateur.
He spoke to the captain of the boat and
asked him if he would ask the magician
to oblige them with something from his
repertoire of mysteries. Maro, who usual
ly reserves his exhibitions of skill for the
stags, was finally induced to say he would
do something for them. The passengers,
who formed a little circle on ths upper
deck of the steamer, applauded enthusi
astically when Maro stepped before them.
After speaking of various forms of magic,
on which he discoursed entertainingly
tor a few minutes, he asked the English
M. P. if he might borrow his watch. The
British tourist, while passing over the
time piece, said he hoped nothing would
happen to it as it was one of Bennett's
finest chronometers.
"Nothing will happen to it, I assure
you," said the magician, as he received
it; "I only ask your permission to throw
it overboard."
The idea was so preposterous that the
Englishman fancied the wizard was jok
ing and replied that he he had no object
ion, ine words were scarcely out ot bis
month when Maro- deliberately sent the
timepiece flying through the air and
watched the expression of consternation
on the face of the owner as it splashed in
the water and disappeared. The specta
tors were silent; they were in some doubt
as to the sanity of the gentleman who
stood so calmly and unconcerned before
them. , . , -

upset and was convinced that he had
fallen up against a crazy man. He was
