FOLEY,S MISFORTUNE.

He Got Tuber Into His Mouth, But 1t
Had to BE Cut Out.
Tin Foley, a waterfront rounder, who
lives IN Greene street, claims to have
larger mouth than any other man in San
Francisco. Last night Tim and select
circle of his friends were taking few quiet
drinks in saloon on East street. and Tim,
pointing to a sack of potatoes at the end of
the bar, said he could put larger tuber into
his mouth than any man in the crowd for
the drinks.
Tim selected potato about the size of a
billiard-ball and several of the party tried
to get it into their mouths. but none of them
succeeded Give it to me-" yelled Tin;
IN show you what | can do"
He took the potato and with a little effort
got the tuber inside his teeth. Now came
the fun. The potato went in easy enough
but Try as he would he could not get it out
again. Tim wnked and blnked and
danced until he was nearly black in the
face, but all to no purpose. At last the bar
keeper came to his assistance and the po-
tato was cut to pieces.
Tim won his drink, but the tears came
to his eyes when he found his jaws were so
stiff he could not swallow the dearly

FOOD FISHES.
The Commissioners VIII Seek to
Protect Them.
Work of the New Board to Be Dons Without
the Aid of Brass Band-The Chinese
the Worst Offenders

The Fish and Game Commission will
probably meet for the first time about April
1st. Commissioner Wilson will have re-
turned from Europe by that date, and the
commission is only waiting his arrival to or
ganize
Commissioners Redding and Marizio met
yesterday afternoon to have an informal
talk about the work before the commission.
This was a private interchange of opinion,
and no business will be transacted for the
present.
In conversation yesterday Mr.. Redding
said: Several bills have been introduced
in the present Legislature affecting the
work of the commission. L have caused two
to be introduced myself. The principal OBJ
jects OF the bills are TO extend the close sea-
son for trout from September to August. IL
Is difficult to make people on the outside
realize how important this question Is and
how necessary it is 10 preserve great
source OF tie food supply.
There are any number OF keen sports
men in the State who, to man, support the
change of dale in the close season, and are
anxious to assist the commission to preserve
the fish IN every way.
81 have no hesitation in saying there has
been too much splurge and brass band
about the Fish and Game Commission. 1t
Is re ally very simple affair 10 carry on the
business. Two men who understood their
work could hatch out 100000 salmon aud
stock the streams. A book-keeper working
an hour day could keep all the necessary
accounts.
But the Commissioners would hire a
room at tie Occidental To hold meeting in
and there would be as big crowd of men
outside waiting to apply for positions as
deputies, as ii they We're electing delegates
to State convention. As the population
increases, the depredatiOns increase, and it
Is necessary To employ larger force OF
deputies to cover tine ground.
Most of Tie depredati0ns are the work
of Cinnamon. The lumbermen do good
deal OF damage by empiylng Sawdust into
the streams.
I'VE should do more efficient work if the
District Attorneys would stand in with the
commission. But it seems difficult to make
them realize the importance of the subject
and how grave question the proper pre-
Servation OF the fish is, and to get them to

THE WILL CONTEST CONTINUED.
searles Ignorant of the 1887 VII Until
After His Wifes Death.

His wife Never Told Him of Promising to
Hold Her Property I'm Trust for Timothy
Hopkins, Nor that She Had Made Ger
tain Promises to Tins DTothor--Tho
Hearing Adjourned.
SALEM, Mass, Sep. 25.-Tbc third day
Of the Hopkins-searles will contest find g
the interest in the case only intensified,
fact due very largely, without doubt, to
the personal nature Of the testimony
brought out on the examination of the
testators widower.
Mr. Searles told under close question
ing many details Of the copartnership
contract made June z, 1883, between
Mary +. Searles, Edward f. Searles,
Thomas L. Stillman and Thomas Hub
bard, to be known as Searles, Stillman
q Hubbard, TO contract and manage all
the property, both real and personal, be-
longing TO either party.
A will of Mary f. S. Searles. dated
November 22 1887, with codicil dated
June 16, 1888, was produced at the after
noon session. Mr.. Searles knew of the
will, but did not know its contents until
after his wifes death.
This document gave $4,000 to John
Harwood, a former coachman, and the
residue of the estate was let in trust to
Edward f. Searles, Timothy Hopkins
and Thomas f. Stillman, to pay the in
come in equal shares TO Edward f.
Searles and Timothy Hopkins during
their life time, and ON their death to who
soever they might designate by will or,
failing a will to pay it to their next Of
kin.
The executors were the same as the
trustees. The codicil substituted the
name of Thomas Hubbard for that of
Timothy Hopkins as trustee and eXecu-
tor but otherwise confirmed the will
Witness had understood that all the
real estate, except the homesteads in
San Francisco, Great Darlington and
Methuen, were placed in the copartner-
ship. Witness supposed the titles to the
estates conveyed by the unrecorded deeds
rested in him until something occurred
to disturb them. They were placed in
his name, he said, to protect the prop
| erty.
He had heard Mrs. Searles say that be-
fore her marriage she had made previous
wills, but she had never told him that
she promised her first husband to hold her
entire prs. e.ty in trust for Timothy; nor
that she had promised Timothy's own
mother that if She would consent to the
adoption he should have all her property.
Mr.. Searles then admitted that two
Christian scientists Mrs. Morse and
Mrs. Day. had treated Mrs. Searles during
| her illness. One of them had also
treated witness for indigestion.
He thought he requested that they
should not mention being called in, as
he did not care about having it hawked

Fassett Strikes a Keynote.

young men" says the brainy young
Fassett, of New York. 1T is progress
i've. 1t stands up; it always has stood
with its face to the future The Repub-
lican party stands for free schools, for
free worship, for a free press, free
ballot and, mark this, it stands for these
things not so much in platforms and
promises as in performances.
"The Republican party never breaks
its promises. The Republican party
has ever been the party Of reform, and
has ever been for those things that lift
men onward and upward, The Repub-
hcan party invites the people to a feast
of reason founded on honest perform
ances. The Democratic party, like the
Barmecides of the Arabian Nights,
invites the people to feast of broken
pledges and misrepresentation.

recovery was impossible.
