PLAYED THE DONKEY.
HOW THE LADIES OF THE ANNEX
AMUSED THEMSELVES.
Complaints that They Played Frivolous
Games at Their Socials-The War Pro-
crossing.

"If the ladies who are causing all the
trouble would only resign, then every
thing would go along swimmingly, said
a member of the annex to the chamber
of commerce to reporter OF the HERALD
Yesterday. "They won't resign, though.
They are intent on breaking up the an
mex, but they will not succeed" There
are Just as brainy women who want to
see the annex continued as there are
among those in favor OF disbandment.
"Just because certain ladies were not
given offices, they have resolved to dis
rupt the organization, which has done
much good for the county"
There will be circus at the meeting
next Monday afternoon and it is to be
hoped that reporters who wear pants
will not be harmed. Who will preside
at the meeting is very open question.
There are several candidates for the
honor.
One of the ladies who are in favor Of
disbanding met the reporter. She said !:
1.-The original scope of the annex was all
right, but for some reason or another
the annex has never been any assist
ance to the chamber of commerce, ex-
cept, perhaps, to assist in decorating
the hall. The monthly socials were a
fzzle. / went to one and returned
home disgusted. Why just think of
them playing the donkey game As you
probably are aware the game con-
sists OF the party blindiolded pinning on
tail to an imitation donkey pasted on
the WALL"
Several other ladies remarked a num-
Der of circumstances to the reporter, but
iv would hardly be fair to publish them.

Mants a Free Bureau.

EDITORS HERALD: / would ask the
publ city of your columns for drawing the
attention of Los Angeles citizens to a
matter OF public interest.
/ refer to the customs of employers of
obtaining help by means Of employment
bureaus, thus practically forcing those
seeking wolk to patronize these estab-
lishments. 1 say nothing against the
gentl emen who conduct these bureaus
it is the system that is at fault.
1t is a hardship, that to obtain work,
a man has to advance some SO or SO Gust
when he can least spare it) as commits
sion fee etc. An enterprising people, as
Californians are, should not let it be
said OF them that a man has to pay to
get work. 1 believe the municipality
obtains an income from these bureaus
by means of license fees, and so
sanctions their usage. That should not
be so. On the contrary, it is rather
their duty to see that all such iniorma-
ton, etc, is absolutely free-'pro bono
publico."
| would suggest their establishment
OF free bureau where all information
as to situations vacant, and wanted. may
be obtained, or the formation of labor
exchange at certain hour each day,
as might be found most practicable.
Publicity and the support of employ
ers, would insure success to such an in
stitution, which would be boon to all
employer and employees.
Respectfully yours,

MRS. FAIRS WEALTH.
A Statement Regarding Her Property
and Its Disposition.

A Statement Regarding Her Property
and Its Disposition.
Mrs. Thomas Fair, the divorced wife
of Senator James G. Fair, died in San
Francisco on Sunday afternoon. The
Chronicle publishes the following re-
garding her wealth:
In 1883, when the separation of Mrs.
Fair and her husband occurred, the
courts gave her $4,5OO0OO in United
States bonds and about $3.50, ,000in other
property.
In speaking of the estate, Richard ".
Dey, who has been Mrs. Fairs confden-
tial secretary for years, said:
"To roughly estimate Mrs. Fairs
wealth, should say it would aggregate
$6,000,000. You remember her portion
of the estate was nearly So, 600, 900, and
that was eight years ago. Many of her
investments were very profitable, and
besides, her money, the bulk of it, was
in securities that naturally increased
with time.
"Her will was made some six years
ago, and is very clear, concise and
comprehensive one. As to its terms, of
course I can say nothing. Both Mr..
John 7. Mackey and myself, the execu-
tors of the estate under the will, re-
marked when it was made its fairness
and the ability to deal with business
affairs shown by Mrs. Fair in making
it. This will win be offered for probate
soon."
From an intimate friend of the family
it was learned that Mrs. Fair had di-
vided her fortune or the bulk of it be-
tween her daughters, expecting Senator
Fair to provide for her sons. She leaves,
it is said, large sums to numerous chari-
ties, several bequests to friends and
faithful employees and legacy to the
Catholic church.

DURING his lifetime James Lick was
looked upon as one of the most miserly
and unsympathetic men in California.
In all his private relations he was as
close as a knife. When he died there
was probably not single tear dropped
ON bis grave. Yet this man alone, Of
all the men who acquired enormous
riches in the Golden State, thought it
worth while to devote his great
wealth to the good of Others
ut his death. His desires have
to some extent been frustrated
by his trustees. but his bequests for
beneficial purposes have been greater
than those Of all the rich men who have
alisd IN California put together. The

and adjourned until this morning. The

uproarious applause. The presiding
officer made vigorous assault on Platt-

WHENEVER the gentleman who is put
ting up great iron plant in San Diego
meets with any obstacle he is quite in
the habit of referring to the pressure
which is const tantly being brought to
bear upon him from Los Angeles to
transfer his rolling mill to this place.
This pressure probably exists in his
minds eye, if it has any existence even
to that impalpable extent.

ACCORDING to latest advices the Brit

T Los Angeles was visited with shower
yesterday afternoon. The rain came
down for about an hour when it cleared

The cars did thriving business. The

Goheen Murdered.


Special to the Globe
FERGUS FALLS. Oct. 22.-RGsa Bray
was of mixed French and English de-
scent, and was born in New York. At
the time of her death she was thirty-five
years old. She came to this state from
Iowa six or seven years ago, and for a
time lived with her brother, Ell Bray, a
wetl-to-do farmer of the town or Maine,
in this county. In Iowa she met man
named Wood and has always claimed
he married.her. For three years past she
T has lived in Fergus Falls and earned a
precariouS livelihood by working and
begging. She was a peculiar person
AMI seemed to enjoy sleeping in barns
and such places rather than accept the
hospitality of her relatives. 1t Is as
serted by some that she was loose char
'acter. Her family is all eminently re-
spectacle one, and after her death her
brother took the remains to the town of
Maine. where they were inferred with
great ceremony in the presence of one
of the largest gatherings that town has
ever seen.
Sheriff Billings is an old resident of
Fergus Falls. He came here from Yer
mont in the early days, and after time
engaged in the lumber business, from
which he gradually branched out into
stock buyings He has always been an
ardent Democrat, and last year was
elected sheriff by the Democrats and
Alliance men over one of the strongest
men in the county, which shows his
popularity. He is Il small man, but is
wiry and active and as full of pluck
and nerve as an egg is of meat His
present job is the worst he has ever
been called upon to do. but that he will
finch no one who knows him thinks for
all instant.
