August, when the same subject was under
consideration, and he had expressed the

wife. | asked him how it was that in so
short a time he had changed his mind. He
replied that he had seen enough was salts

The cross-eXamination was short and I'M

Judge Beatty-How is it, Mr. Smith that
you don't remember the stories that you

Mr.. Catlin-We object.
Judge Beatty (rather disgustedly) We'll,
that will do
Alfred Randolph was the next witness.
He said he resided near Hicksville, and

action. He had lived in that neighborhood
about twenty-five years He rented from
Valensin $50 acres, or what is known as the
upper ranch, in 1852, 1883 and 1884 He
gave one-third of the grain in sacks and
one-half the hay in stack. In 1882 Valen-

tons of hay. In 1888, $40 sacks of wheat
and 81 tons of hay. In 1884, $50 sacks of

He then asked to see Pho, and l came up.
He said to me, Don't you wish to kiss
your father" and STOPPING, he kissed me
on the forehead, and asked me why | had
not written him. Father then asked
mother if she was going to ruin their hap
piness, and she replied that hers had been
ruined many years. Father said, 4" l see
what you mean; you want to be separ-
ated.' He then added, II have ruined
your property, and / will ruin your repu-
tation." He remarked, Il have friends
whom can use, and prove by them
anything | please" When he spoke of
of my mothers reputation. she replied that
no one but himself would speak of her rep
utation, as it was too high to be injured bv
any one. During their conversation they
spoke in French He said to her. You
dare do nothing wrong, for fear of losing
your child Once, on the ranch before
we went to Santa Cruz, they had quite a
row. He told her that he had advised with
his lawyers, and they had told him that
possibly he could not take her land from
her, but he could take me. Mother caught
hold of Judge Mesick and asked him if
that could be done Mother got down on
her knees to father and said she would do
anything he asked if he would only leave
her child. Judge Mesick said, He can't
take Pho away from you"
. During the giving of the last portion of
his testimony the little lad broke down
completely, and his sobbing could be heard
throughout the Courtroom
Mr.. Catlin said, as it was near the hour
for taking recess. and as the boy was quite
nervous, he would postpone the cross-ex-
animation until after recess.
George Johnson, a surveyor who had
made map of the Arno farm, was called
by the plaintiff but did not answer to his

At the afternoon session Pho way placed
upon the stand for the purpose of being
cross-examined. In answer to Mr. Catlin's
questions, he said that at the interview
which he had related as having taken place
between his parents at Mrs Govans, he did
not remember of hearing them say any,
thing about Santa Cruz. Father Grace
and Mr.. Mesick called TO see mother while
we were at Santa Cruz. Father asked me
why did not write to him. aud | made no
answer. | don't think | made any excuse
Tor not doing so. | don't remember father
saying that he had written to mother and

house shortly after fathers arrival. staid
while he was there and heard all the con-
versation that passed between them. They
stood in the hallway by the front door.
THE CONVERSATION WAS IN FRENCH.

w. 5. Mesick. the next witness, said he
was resident of Sacramento, and had
been acquainted with the parties to the
action several years. He said he was well
acquainted with the Arno farm, and first
saw 1t in 1880. His first visit to their place
was at the solicitation of Mr.. Valensin, rs
an arbitrator in adjusting difficulty re-
garding a levee. He was on the farm
twice IN 1SS2-once to attend a horse race,

Mesick and Others.

MeS1ck and Others.
The hearing of the Valensin divorce case
| was resumed before Judge Mcfarland in
Department Two of the Superior Court at
10 a. NJ. yesterday
Mrs. Caroline McCauley resumed the wit
| ness stand on cross examination She said
she and her daughter were in Europe some
six years before she made the acquaintance
of Valensin. We went to England during
| the war. We crossed the plains from Mis-
souri, in 1858. My daughter was born in
Missouri in 1913. While in Europe we re-
sided principally in Paris, but often visited
Florence. The engagement of Mr. Valen
sin and my daughter was first spoken of in
London. We lived in Italy often during
the winter season, in Florence and Rome.
About year after my daughters marriage
| returned to America, and have not been
back TO Europe since. Before their mar
rage | told him that my daughter haa no
money, and he said that he could maintain
her in the style she was then living. Mr..

lowing the day that Mr.. Valensin was sup

Mr.. CatlIn said he had some letters from

would go to show that up to very recent
date witness had no complaint to make
against Mr.. Nalensin Some of the letters
were addressed to the daughter and others
to both daughter and husband and one to
Mr.. Valensin himself. They were friendly
and highly complimentary TO Mr. Nalensin
as a man and farmer. He claimed that
they were offered to disprove the statement
made by witness that she had entertained
strong dislike for him since 1873. For this
purpose he claimed they were relevant and
material, and should be admitted.
Judge Beattie read one of the letters
through and said it was Il letter from Mrs
McCauley to her daughter, consisting of five
pages, four pages and half of which was
relative to her private business He said
defense had no right to parade bis wife's
correspondence with her mother 1t was

All through Tuesday night Gen.
Grants remains lay in state at the
capitol at Albany and it was only from

cessation in the throng of visitors who
passed by the casket to take final
look at the remains. BY 1890
Wednesday morning it was esti-
mated that Il, 900 persons bad viewed
the remains The doors were then
closed and thousands of waiting people
were shut out. At l130 a. IN. Wednes-
day the procession started from the
capitol for the Albany depot to take the
train to New York.
Mayor Grace had appointed COM
mittee of 100 prominent citizens to meet
the remains at Albany and escort them
to New York. This committee joined the
funeral procession each wearing across
the lapel of the black coat white
badge. at the top of which were the
words NCity of New York" Under
meath this the arms of the city, and at
the bottom ''Gen. Grant. The COM
mittee wore white hats with black
bands
The line of march through Broadway
TO Steuben street and thence to the
depot was everywhere densely
thronged. The sons of Gen. Grant and
their companions of the previous day
were driven to the depot, where the
long, black funeral train was awaiting
its burden. Guns doomed while the
remains were being placed in the car

The other day young and very

ice, was on the point of stepping into
an omnibus where only one seat was

of about 80 pushed her rudely aside as
he sprang up the steps and took the

coming out of the theater. while the
people were waiting just inside the
door for their carriages and cabs, a
man lighted a cigar and blew the
smoke into the face of a lady standing
there with friend. She made a ges-
ture of repugnance, when the man
said, Gentlemen may smoke here.
You may smoke here. but you can
not be gentleman if you do. said
the lady-one of these not easily put

The annoyances to which young wo-

Getting Measured for Trousers

The increasing popularity of horse
back riding among the people of all
classes in Washington emphasizes a
fact that seems rather surprising to
some of the readers of this correspond
ence, that Il great many Washington
ladies wear trousers, and it has been
mischieyously remarked in certain
quarters that the novel experience of
wearing pants has gone a great way
toward inducing some rather timid
ladies to undertake the task of learning
to ride. The best riding-habits. here
as elsewhere, are made by tailors who
make this line of business a speciality,
and who have in some of their mystic
rious back parlors a wooden horse, on
which the ladies sit while their cloth
skirts are draped to hang well over the
tight fitting pants. "Of course" said
one of these tailors recently; ''of
course, ladies wear pants with their
riding habits. They wear them under
their riding skirts. This has been the
custom for some time. They wear
their skirts shorter than formerly, just
so as to touch the ground when they
stand. Then they wear pants under

ington is very much like Paris. The
ladies have good taste | don't know
many-who come III and have their
measures taken, just as graciously as
men would. and they are much easier
to fit and pleasanter to serve than men.
And the trying on of garments? We
have parlors and maids in attendance.
They retire to parlor and put on the
garment, which is basted together,
and when they get it on am sent for
and 90 in and fit it, taking it in here,
marking it for alteration, and letting it
out there. When | have finished | re-
tire, and the lady again changes her
garment This is the custom altogether
in Paris and is very rapidly becoming
so here"
The average Washington price of
lady's riding habit is about 800. -
