twenty has there been the slightest in
tention upon the part of the promoters of
these newspaper ephemera to do what
they profess in the beguiling prospectus
with which they approach the business

would really be dear at nothing. The

Important Probate Decision.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 2l.-An
opinion was filed by the Supreme Court
today, in the case OF the estate of Robert
Gilmore, affirming the principle that a
husband has no testamentary control over
his wife's half of the community estate.
Deceased, by his will, bequeathed to
his widow one-half of all his property, the
remaining hall to his children and grand
children. The entire property was
community property and property ac-
entitled to three-fourths Of the prop
erty, oue-half of her proportion
in the community property allowed by
the law, and half the remainder allowed
by the will. The children commended
that she was entitled only to one-half Of
all the property. The court decided in

why Not chicago?

We have received O circular, from
committee having in charge the manage
ment of the movement which has been
organized to boom New York as the
locality for the Worlds Fair, which is
largely devoted to sneerirg at Chicago's
presumption in daring to contest for the
honor. There is in this document a
SNUG complacency which assumes that
the selection of any other place than
Gotham would be a sort OF outrage.
We confess that We do not see exactly
how this supercilious notion is justified.
Chicago is rushing along with lightning
rapidity to the premiership of all
American cities, at least as to ratio Of
growth. She is in position to corrsl

large, aud far more productive of national
development, than the foreign commerce
of New York. In addition, her citizens
are liberal, American and go-ahead.
tive. The progressive denizens of
the Lake City propose to raise
a fund of $1O,000,0O0 to carry
out their plans, and most of this sum
they have secured already, while the
penurious New Workers. have only aimed
to raise $5,000,000, and they have not
yet succeeded in bringing more than one
half of that sum to the fore. Chicago
represents degree of push and develop
ment, in comparatively small cycle OF
years, that is in the highest degree cred
table to the genius of the American peo-
pie. She is essentially an American city.
This New York circular reminds the
Chicagoans that New. Workers have
loaned the Lakeeiders great deal OF
money in the past. What Of it? There
is no allegation that the advances have
not been paid, interest and principal, or
that, il the transactions are still current.
they will not be paid to the last farthing.
The essential littleness Of the money
bags Ct New York was never shown
in broader light than in this
circulsr, which, by the way, is mieera-
bly, written, down to the details of gross
grammatical errors. If New York had
been as open-hsnded and generous, ss
she has been stingy and mean, in her
initiative, there would have been a quite
general feeling that the quatro-
commemoration of the discovery Of
America ought to have gone to Ter. But
as it is, people have been set to think

viction thst it might be just al
we'll that the grand international display
should take place in the interior of thu
continent. The New York newspaper
have been Dragging about subscription
of 100000 by the head of the Vanderbilt

situation, and not on account CT the lib

ADJUSTMENTS,

Russell's Farce-Comedy Company drew
an audience that filled the opera house
last night-there were not probably half a
dozen unoccupied sittings in the house.
The play was THE City Directory" OF
all the farce-comedies that have been
given here-and they are all senseless as to

means the best. 1t is musically a charm

solos, duets, trios and choruses. II is must

given in the whole round of farce-comedy.
1t bears the stamp and sign manual on all
sides of an accomplished musical
director, the composer OF the
music, and who presided over the
orchestra, W. s. Mullaly. But while it is

THE MONUMENT.
here given /:

The monument will stand on little
mound on the east side of the G. A. R.
plot. 1t is entirely of Folsom white gran
lite, with the exception of the figure which
surmounts it. This is of white bronze, and
was sculptured in Chicago. The shaft and
figure will reach a hight of twenty feet
from the ground. The figure is hand
some piece of work. 1t stands 6 feet II
inches in hight, and represents Union
private standing at parade rest.n
On the front side of the main shaft the
inscription, Erected to the memory of our
soldier dead" will appear in bold relief,
and below it, on the center base, the letters
sc. A. R." On the north side of the shaft
will be life-size bust medallion of General
Grant, beneath which will appear the in
scription, sour General-U. s. Grant" On
the south side will be two-foot Grand
Army badge cut into the stone.
The monument stands on a concrete base
six feet square and six feet deep. The
whole weighs over twelve tons.
This will be the first monument erected
in memory of the Grand Army's dead on
the Pacific coast, and Sacramento should
be proud of it.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.
AN ELEGANT TRIBUTE TO THE DE.
PARTED VETERANS.
Description of the Monument, Which the
Local G. A. R. Posts win Soon
Unveil.

On the 9th day of next month, which
will be the occasion of the thlrty-ninth an
niversary of Californias admission into
the Union as a State, the local Grand Army
of the Republic posts will assemble at the
headquarters, corner of Tenth and K
streets, and, headed by the First Artillery
Band, will march to the City Cemetery,
where the ceremony of unwilling the new
Grand Army Memorial Monument will
take place. The ceremonies will consist of
music, prayer and an Grafton by prominent
local speaker, yet to be chosen. A salute
of muskets will be fred and the veteran
soldiers will retire.
After several years of perseverance the
members of the local Grand Army Posts
at last succeeded in placing a fitting
tribute over the graves of their
dead comrades. Some time ago
it was determined to secure four cannons
from the Mare Island Navy Yard, which
had seen service in the late war, these to be
placed in the four corners of the G. A R.
plot in the cemetery. But the posts were
then in poor financial condition. and could
not get the pieces here, so the matter fell
through. A monument was then thought
of, and a fund was started for the purpose
of eventually erecting one. This was three
years ago. Since that time something over
$1,000 was accumulated. This was not
enough. A similar amount to this was
lying unused in the Grant Memorial Fund
and negotiations were made, and succeeded
in having this sum transferred to the
G. A. r. Monument Fund. This COM
bined amount-$2, 500-was expended for
the handsome monument, a cut of which is
here given:
