GEORGE w. COOKE.
His Sudden and Fatal Illness Last
Evening.

His Sudden and Fatal Illness Last
Evening.
George W. Cooke dropped dead about
8 O'Clock last evening. Heart disease
was the cause.
/ During the day Mr.. Cooke did not
complain of any i'll feeling. He was at
the Union League for time during the
evening but left the club rooms early.
Later he started out with his niece,
street cars. When the car reached the
Salisbury block on Spring street be-
tween Third and Fourth, he complained
of feeling bad. Mrs. Cooke insisted
on his getting of, las he had rooms in the
block. He did SO and went upstairs
Immediately.
No sooner had he reached his room
than he commenced to call for water.
He said that he was suffocating.
Mrs. Cooke called in DIR. Burnett who
had offices in the block. Nothing could
be done, however, and within ten min
utes after he arrived in the building he
was dead.
Mr.. Cooke came to California in
pioneer days, and was the senior mem
Der of the very heavy blank book and
stationery concern in San Francisco of
Cooke & Lecount. This concern lasted
till late in the sixties. Competition and
reverses in business forced its dissolu-
ton, and Mr.. Cooke then went into the
book binding business. He was for
many years the foreman of the bindery
of the Bancrofts, and after leaving tnat
he came to Los Angeles and started into
business for himself. Connected with
his business he became the agent here
of the great paper house of Blake,
Moffitt & Towne, which agency he was
conducting at the time of his death.
He was an energetic business man, and
was greatly liked by all who knew or
had dealings with him.
The deceased was 81 years of age, and
a member of Los Angeles lodge, No. AZ,
F. and A. NJ, and OF Los Angeles Chap
ter, No. 33, r. A. M. The funeral will
be conducted under the auspices OF the
masons.

Prof. VIM. @. Judge, in addressing the
Friday Morning club yesterday on
Theosophy paid a high tribute to
Madame Blavatzky. who was the or

sixteen years ago. He said that in the

vegetable kingdoms, from which man
was evolved, and by continued reincar-
nations he will 60 on advancing from one
body to another until he becomes per-

an astral and a material body, the
astral having always been in existence,

Undertaking. of the astral body.
The speaker said that great and ex-
ceptional mentality in individuals did
not come by heredity. 1t was the re-
incarnation OF some member of perhaps
an humble and ordinary family with
the astral genius of some long gone
celebrity.
He said that Christianity has disap-
peared. The code of laws given by
Christ are the same as were given bv
Buddha long centuries before Christ APP
peared. Besides that none of the So
called Christians of the present time
live up to His laws and tenets. He had
no place wherein to lay His head. The
foremost Christians now live in man
sions and palaces.

clined to be thanked by the ladies.

Most Men Without Legs or Money
Would be Warrants.

One of the characters appearing in the
police court yesterday was negro, bear
ing, as he claims, the name of Theodore
Williams. He was without legs and was
on hand to answer to a charge of vag-
rancy.
Theodore claimed upon the stand that
he had never before been in Los Angeles,
bnc the local police officers have. known
him before. 1t was about three wears
ago that he was last here, but at that
time he had two full legs. Since then
Theodore endeavored to derail a train
with disastrous results to himself. Both
legs were severed just above the knee.
This little misfortune did not interfere
with the pursuance of his vocation as
professional tramp, however. He wan
dered back to this city and his arrest
followed and Justice Owens gave him a
fioater.

LIEUT.. GREENE'S HAMS.
A Board of Survey Thoroughly Inves-

A Board of Survey Thoroughly Inves-
tigates Them.
The following order was issued by
General McCook on Wednesday:
A board of survey is appointed to meet
at these headquarters at IL O'Clock a. m.
today, or as soon thereafter as practica-
BILE, to examine into, report upon and fix
the responsibility for the condition and
loss in weight of certain subsistence
stores for which First Lieutenant Frank
Greene, signal corps, A. G. S., is account
able.
Mr.. Greene's acquaintance were ter
ribly shocked when they read that order,
for it looked as if that popular officer was
in serious trouble.
Six hams, 1t seems, however, caused
all the trouble, the special order, the
board OF survey, the findings, and
whole lot of other proceedings. Accord
ing to army rules and regulations,
whenever ham in the COM
missary department loses more than
two per cent. of its original weight
through drying out in a store room, a
board of survey has to be summoned,
and the hams looked into, and GER
ti6cate made that the weight lost in
excess of the 2 per cent. allowed, is ac-
cording to Hoyle. Accordingly board
composed of Major Elderkin, Captain
True and Captain Dudley made a
thorough examination of Lieutenant
Greene's six hams. 1t was found that
their dessication had been regularly &C.
complished according to atmospheric
custom, the report was drawn and duly
signed, forwarded to the proper officials,
the hams were hung up again. and of
the further proceedings the reporter was
not informed. He surmises, however,
that inspecting hams is very thirsty

A NICE KETTLE OF FISH.

We doubt whether the rumor that
Tim Hopkins had compromised his suit
with Searles by agreeing to take between
$8,000,0 900 and SIC, 100000 of the estate,
is true. If Searles has yielded, however,
without first having included the heirs
at-law in the compromise, he will leave
his case in very weakened condition.
A compromise would imply loss of con-
fidence in maintaining the validity of
the will, and if the will could not be
sustained, of course the heirs-at-law
would all come in for a share OF the es-
tate. We therefore doubt the truth of
the report as it has come to US. But
there are complications in this business
which raise difficulties at every turn.
Searles and his lawyers, Stillman and
Hubbard, formed co-partnery into
which they had drawn Mrs. Searles be-
fore her death. Into this co-pal tnery
she had dumped immense chunks of her
vast wealth. Then the co-partnery con-
veyed great gops of this wealth over to
Searles, and these he now holds, appar-
emily in his own right, by deed from the
co-partnery, who held by deed from
the widow of Hopkins. 1t
is therefore quite a mixed mess,
and presents curious and ex-
traordinary combination of movements
all resulting in conveying many of the
Hopkins millions from his widow to a
syndicate which bears all the signs and
ear-marks of conspiracy, but which
has been managed with such deep and
consummate shrewdness as to make it
doubtful whether the wealth thus con-
veyed during the lifetime of Mrs.
Searles can ever be legally reached and
forced back into the Hopkins-Searles
estate. That law firm can hereafter
hang out its sign as in business to fix up
the estates of weak-minded widows, re-
married. so as to secure them to strong
minded husbands beyond the reach of
recovery by rightful heirs-at-law. In
that kind of business this law firm is a
marked and shining success. But we
must not forget that, as an important
portion of the co-partnery, it's members
have been very careful to fill their own
capacious pockets. 1t is estimated
that the Hopkins-Searles estate before
this new unloading device was discover
ed by Stillman and Hubbard, amounted
to between seventy and ninety million
dollars. The co-partnery is believed to
have swallowed up all but about twenty
live millions, and that is really all that
Timothy can establish his half interest
in, even if successful. 1t is therefore
more than likely that Timothy would,
under the circumstances, gladly accept
eight or ten millions to compromise.
But how is it with Searles? No doubt
he would be willing to agree to such a
compromise if it would be the end. But
it would not be the end, for the other
heirs-at-law would undoubtedly start in
to break thewill, and the fact that he had
compromised with Tim would be claim
ed to show his want of confidence in
the validity of the will, and constitute
an element of weakness in new suits.
