ASSIGNMENT OF CASES.
The County Clerks Deputy Explains tn
Methnd Pursued.

The County Clerks Deputy Explains the
Method Pursued.
In a morning paper yesterday an article
appeared which, as it seems, caused no lit
tie Indignation in the County Clerks office.
1t referred to slight friction between
Judges Levy and Wallace with regard to the
formers authority to hear probate matters.
The latter declares that since he has been
Presiding Judge no probate case has been
assigned to Levy, and the article referred TO
represented him as having said that "all the
assignments of cases are in printed forms
and have assigned all the probate business
to Judge Coffey. Ii the numbers OF the de-
partment on the assignments were cnaG ged.
they were certainly changed after assigned
the papers"
County Clerk Blattner and his deputies
feel that this remark reflects upon them, be-
cause il any alterations have been made in
the assignments they alone could be the
guilty parties. The truth of the matter is,
as explained by Chief Deputy Williams,
that during Levy's term as Presiding Judge
an order was made under his hand directing
the assignment of all probate matters, one
week to himself and the alternate week to
Judge Coffey. Such an order remains in
force until its cancellation by the Presid-
ing Judge and since Wallace has taken no
action in the matter it Is still in force.
Subsequently to Levy's making the order,
forms were printed leaving the numbers of
the departments blank, and the duty de-
vOIved upon the County Clerk, as the pro-
ceedings were filed, to insert the proper
number, that is, during every alternate
week to Department 10, and the inter-
mediate week to 9. Receiving no contrary
directions, the same method has been pur-
sued since Judge Wallace has been Presid-
ing Judge, and, as Mr.. Williams said:
'If that magistrate thinks his orders have
been tempered with by this department, he
is laboring under misrepresentation, the
trouble being the result OF his own Umis-
sion to countermand Judge Levy's order"

Was Miss Sophie Talbot before her mar
rage. She was a very handsome girl and
she fulfilled the promise of her girhood by
developing into very handsome woman.
And, what is more, she is not only hand
some woman but she is one of those great
hearted women who never can forget a
friend in trouble or turn deaf ear to q tale
of distress. Her connection with the char
table societies of this city has been source
of great revenue to them, but her private
beneiactiOns swell the amount of good that
she has been able TO do in a great degree.
She is one of the famous Talbot family. Her
sisters are Mrs. Cyrus Walker of Port
Townsend. Mrs. Henry Dutton of San Fran
cisco, and VIII and Fred Talbot are her
brothers.
She resides with her mother, the widow
Talbot, in the elegant mansion on the cor
ner of jackson and Franklin streets. She
is the mother of one child, sweet little girl
named Sophia, who inheritS her mothers
lovely eyes, for Mrs. Pierce has glorious eyes,
dark, full and expressive, which together with
her clear, dark skin and her high color
make her striking looking woman. AS a
friend she is doubly dear to those who have
the privilege of so regarding her. and that
she is faithful to their trust has been dem
Onstrated time and again. she has enjoyed
the advantages of European travel and is
thoroughly refined and cultured lady. She
Is well read and highly educated and takes
great interest in the affairs of the day.
In figure she is not very tall, but she
carries herself superbly, and since she
always dresses elegantly and with the per
fiction of good taste there is a certain dash
and style about her which contributes very
materially to the effectiveness of her APP

successful entertainment for the benefit of

the handsome sum Of $1,000. On that de-
lightfu occasion Mrs. Edgert0n played
Lady Teazle to his Sir Peter. and made
great hit, both by her acting and by her ele-
CANT dressing Of the part. Her gown was
rich yellow silk, and her hat triumph OF
the milliner's skill. 1t was Gainsbor-
ough, with its crown covered with ostrich
feathers that curled over the brim in
most becoming fashion. Her mirth was
contagious, and the audience laughed
with her at old Sir Peters veXatiOn ut
the pretty young woman whom he had mar
ried but could not control One OF the most
delightful of private entertain ments ever
given in this city was the literary and must
cal recital given by Mrs. Edgerton in honor
her sister, Mrs. Homer 5. King. On this
occasion Mrs. Edgerton was assisted IN re-
ceiving her guests by Mrs. j. ID. Fry, Miss
Mcclure and Miss Bishop. During the
course of the afternoon Mrs. Edgerton re-
cited Aunt Peggy and High Art" La
Chase" "Madalena," MASK and Domino"
and Money Musk" Mrs. MINER sang,
Mrs. LangStreth gave an Irish recitation
and Miss COnnel rendered several vocal
solos.
Mrs. Edgerton is not tall woman, but SO
perfectly does she carry herself and so
gracefully does she move that she conveys
the impression of being much taller than she
really is. She has a frank, zen counte-
nance. light brown hair, which she wears In
a becoming and original style of her own,
which no one could hope to copy. She IS
one of the most charming women in San
Francisco.

Is lady who hardly needs an introduction
20 the public Of San Francisco, for she al
ready enjoys an enviable reputation as a
society lady. an elocutiOnist and an expo
Dent of the Delsarte philosophy.
Born in the East, Mrs. Edgerton is never
theless thorough Californian. Her father.
the venerable II. Brown of Napa, brought
his family across the continent while Mrs.
Edgerton was little mite OF happy child,
who counted it rare fuO to be allowed to
mount one of the horses and in true tom
boy fashion ride aStrIde. Little Frances
Brown, for that was her name, was edu-
Gated at convent and after her graduation
was decidedly belle in Sacramento society
some Years ago. She then became the wife
of Henry EdgertOn, who has rightly been
considered not only one of the ablest law
yeIs Of his times, but also one of the most
eloquent orators whose voice has ever been
heard in legislative assemblies.
Some years ago Mrs. EdgertOn, being am
bilious to perfect herself in the Delsarte
philosophy went abroad and studied in
Dresden. Later she combined her purpose
Of study with that of travel and thereby
was enabled to enjoy many Of the sights Of
Europe, Upon her return she studied in
both the Boston and Philadelphia schools of
eratory. few years ago she returned to
San Francisco. There was great eagerness
on the part of her friends to hear her in
public, which desire was gratiiied on sew
eral notable occasions, one Of which was a
recital which Mrs. Edgerton gave at Sara
toga Hall, assisted by John F. Housman
At about the same time Mrs. Edgerton ap-
peared at the entertainment given by the
Young Peoples Society Of the First Congre-
galional Church, as well as at other affairs of
q similar nature. Her reception by the public
was at once cordial and appreeiative, and
the announcement that Mrs. Frances B.
EdgertOn will appear on the programme is
q guarantee that its excellence is assured.
No one can know the lady without COM
ing to hold her in affectionate esteem, for
she unites exceptional abilities with the
highest qualities Of benevolent nature
and good heart. Toenlist her sympathies
is an easy task when the object is worthy,
and with Mrs. Edgerton tO think is to act
to put into execution. That this is true

Complaints Against Elevator No. in the
New City Hall.
Elevator No. l in the new City Hall, in
the east end Of the MeAllister-street wing,
has become the subject of much adverse
criticism all over the building. The man
who runs it is an inveterate cigarette fiend,
and he keeps the cage in such foul condi-
ton that passengers are nearly suffocated in
going from one floor to another. In addition
he is in the habit Of bringing loungers into
the cage with him and carrying them up and
down for hours at time. They are cigar
ette-smokers, too and their combined smok-
ing has earned for the elevator the repnta-
tion OF being the nastiest place in the build

been used by the teachers of the School De-
partment to 20 to the department Offices on
the third floor. 1t has become so nasty.

source of complaint is the length of time it
takes the conductor to respond TO calls. The
Supervisors, though thoroughly out of pa
thence, have put up with this thus far out of
respect for the one who appointed the con-
ductor. Yesterday. however, their vexation
broke restraint and they vowed they would
have the management radically improved
right away, or a sudden change.

with ideahty and glowingly resplenlent
imagery. Many of them deal with Indian
life and character which Mrs. TOland
touches with an artists hand. Full OF SYM
