p. s. O'Bren, the reputed brother Of the deceased
millionaire, William s. OBrien, together with his
wife and daughter left the Baldwin, where they have
been stopping for the past month in the early part
of the evening of Wednesday. Great taken
to prevent her husband from being seen, he being
coseted in the bedroom of the suit occupied by the
two while the porter removed the trunks from the
main room. The husband, with his face covered
with broad scarf, his eyes only being visible. was
hurried into a carriage hired ut stand other than
that of the hotel, and driven rapidly to the Palace
Hotel, where they remained for few hours when
they left that caravansary and up to late hour last
night had not returned. The sudden departure
the two from the Baldwin accredited to the fact
that j. McDonough and his wife, the sister of the
late W. S. OBrien had arrived at the hotel from San
Jose the previous day. and taken possession of
adjoining suit of rooms. and to the visit paid Mrs.
O. Brien during the afternoon of Wednesday by Mrs.
Flood and daughter. 1t is rumored that the claim
of the alleged brother upon the estate of the deceased
millionaire has been settled by the payment of
$500, 900 to him by Mr. Flood, and that he has dsap
peared mysteriously as he appeared.

large volume of New England genealogy which is
very creditablc performances II has received the all
miring praise of critics. both here and in London IL

make twelve similar volumes OF family histories but
he needs financial aid and personal sympathy. II
coming together shall help to call attention to
the interesting manuscripts referred to and TO
the ingenious and novel charts OF family pedigree of

human affairs how narrow ia the limit OF a single
generation! There can be no thorough study of his

The extent to which such researches carried IL

The address Of Mr.. winslow was received with
much satisfaction. After remarks by DIR. Hoiton

the usher occupied of the free seats at eight
o'clock mass. and when asked to pay for her seat
at the nine o'clock children's told the usher
that "she not going to pay that gray whiskered
old pap fifteen cents to put in his pocket" II the
usher acted rudely he did wrong; the nshers in
structed not to be rude even when rudeness is used
to them. The complaint should ut once have been
brought to the pastor who would be able to confront

foundation there might be for the charge. 1t is
