DIR. EAsToNs RECEPTION.
The Celebrated Divine Entertained by
the Caledonian Club.


The celebrated Presbyterian divine,
Rev. DIR. Easton of the Cavalry church
of San Francisco, has been in the city
for some time. The doctor is Scotch
man, and was entertained last evening
by the Caledonian club at their rooms
on First street. The rooms were pro-
fusely decorated with flowers, and were
filled by the admirers of the honored
guest. A pleasant incident of the early
part OF the evening was the christening
of baby by the doctor. The enter
tainment provided was of most enjoy
able nature. Miss Maud Reese sang
Coming Thro' the Rye, Miss Stewart
recited, and DR.. Gresham sang an ap-
propriate song, and then DIR. Easton
was introduced and delivered most
interesting address on his native land
and the one of his adoption. The rest
of the evening was passed in a social
way most happily by all present.

TIE Hopkins-Searles will is to be con-
tested by all the relatives Of the dead
woman, as well as her adopted son,
Timothy Hopkins. There are ever
twenty first and second cousins who will
join in the contest. Several OF these
are very aged and helpless people, and
three Of them received small annuity
from the dead woman during her life.
Nathaniel Hebbard, second cousin of
the deceased, seems to be the leader of
the relatives. He says he and his
brothers would have taken no steps to
break the will had it not been that Mrs.
Searles, by leaving nothing to her aged
and invalid cousins, threw their support
over upon himself and brothers. AS Mr..
Hebbsrd earns only $11 per week, it is
not likely he can support these poor
people without doing injustice to his
own family. Hebbard says that they will

Charged With Holding On to Money Col

Charged With Holding On to Money Col
lected on Judgments.
There has been great complaint of late
among people who have suits as plaintiffs in
the offices of the justices of the peace, in
which judgments have been rendered and ex
ecution thereon only issued, that they could
not recover the money which was awarded
under the judgments. The magistrates who
awarded the Judgments and to whom the
money should have been paid by the con-
stables have been unable to turn over the
money because they have never received it
from the officers.
Justice Charles Walter, when asked If such
state of affairs existed, said he: eyes, it
does, and worse. Their dereliction is in not
making returns of executions served by them
until 1t quits them to do So When people
come for their money that should be ready on
judgments they blame the magistrate But
the constables are to blame"
''Do these constables hold this money in
their hands for the sake of percentage?'
81 make no such CHARGE" said the Judge,
''but when money is held over for weeks after
it has been collected by the constables you
can draw your own inference"
''But, Judge, why can't the magistrates put
stop to this sort of thing ?'
"Why, the magistrates have no control
whatever over the constables, and if any one
wanted to proceed against any individual
constable for dereliction of duty or fraud it
would cost from fifty to ffty-ive dollars to
carry the case into the Court of General Term,
where it would be finally cognizable."
The HERALD man consulted well-known
lawyer, who said that the present system of
appointment of our civil constabulary was
abominable. 1t has constituted a class of
civil police officers, so to speak, who are vir-
tually irresponsible, and they may oppress
without fear of being hauled up for punish
ment the very class they ought to protect
the poorer class. This class is too poor to put
the machinery of the law for the punishment
of these men In proper order. 'However,"
continued the lawyer, ''the Bar Association
will take hold of this matter at the next
meeting, and we will see whether these sharks
cannot be punished"

WOMEN WHO POSE FOR ARTISTS.
The mania that women have for posing for
artists is something astounding. 1t began in
Paris, it went to London, and now it is here.
The daughter of well-known American had
here picture painted by celebrated artist,
picture in which beside her birthday suit she
held mask up to her face-that was her cos
tune. The picture has been photographed
and is very generally sold through the United
States, and yet it is not known here, as it is in
Paris, exactly who the girl is. do not think
New York women aspire to this-at least |
hope they do not; but when they begin this
wretched cant of doing things 'for arts sake,"
with soulful soul and capital A, / feel as if
the impossible were to be expected.
THINGS TO BE RENoUNoED,
How have you gotten along with your re-
nunciations?
| heard a man wish that some of the old
women who give life to dead scandals, and
who talk over, with morbid and ghoulish glee,
the misfortunes of others, would renounce
this world-the flesh having renounced them
and the the devil having no use for them,
and made me think of what could be re-
nounced.
Women who dye their hair might renounce
the chemist.
Lawyers and doctors might renounce flbs
Pretty women might renounce hirtations.
Actresses might renounce painting their eyes
so much.
Housekeepers might renounce bad cooking.
Men might renounce gambling.
Women might renounce indigestible sweets,
There are good many things that might be
renounced, but please, good Mr.. Editor, don't
renounce BAB.

that touching pitch see had been defiled.n
L said woman told me this So it was 1t
was that familiar friend who looks at me from
the mirror, and as I shake my head sadly, her
lips moved as did mine, repeating with me,
''Stick to your traditions -abhor women's clubs

spites." This is the time for repentance, and
| do much repent my ever having had yearn-
ing to belong to club; and the story is told
that no other woman l know may fall by the
wayside with the same innocence and fervor
that did; no good Samaritan came to pick
me up, but violent reaction of common
sense set in, and in that way and that alone
was [ saved.
A VENUS-LIKE PETTICOAT.
Petticoats are much more interesting than
clubs at least they ought to be, and the very
newest of all might be assured by Venus as
she rose from the sea and would harmonize
with her general surroundings 1t is made of
pale-pinll satin brocaded with green, the
faintest of shades, and trimmed with four deep
frills of lace that look like sea-foam. It's

woman dshonest-there at once is a protest
against club If | carried the money-bag

THE NEWEST SPRING BONNET
The newest hat, the hat which every pretty
young girl ought to have for Easter day, is
called the Greuze or shepherdess, and is the
most absolutely fetching thing you ever saw.
1t is little straw thing, bent in front to form
scallop or two, with wreath of roses under
the brm and knot of ribbons on top and
long velvet ribbons hangingdown at the back.
III you really want to know what it looks like
look at the pictures of shepherdesses on Wat
teau fans. OF course such a hat must be worn
by very pretty girl, but nowadays everybody
is young and pretty, because the taking care of
ones self is an art more thoroughly understood
than it ever was before.
THE LATEST FEMININE CoLoRs.
Talking of the fashions, it is gravely an
nounced that two shades of blue will be most
in vogue, garter blue and st. Patrick blue /
have always thought green the shade specially
dedicated to the saint about whom it is so
positively announced that he was gentleman,
but it is just possible he may have had some
blue affiliations Garter blue is a dark, rich
tone, not at all trying, but a little brighter
tlall lhe ueep navy. ~. Ialflchs Dlue is a
paler shade, touching on the Mazalin. The
first is probably much more becoming than the
last, Blue is a good color for the summer,
because it always looks cool, and SO, for that
reason, all the pretty girls are likely to wear it,.
However, if the prettiest girls Of all wants to
look most in fashion she must get herself up
after one of the pictures from an old-fashioned
book of beauty. Her hair must be curled and
on it she must wear shepherdess's hat, with
wreath Of roses inside of it, while about her
waist must be deep girdle that will make her
look little short-waisted She can pose with
