THE LICK TRUST.
An Early Settlement. of the Estate
Expected.

An Early Settlement of the Estate
Expected.
The secretary of the Lick trust reports
that decision of the Supreme Court OF
this State relative 10 the disposition of the
surplus now in the hands of the trustees is
daily expected. The trust now holds In
cash resources and in real-estate loans on
call over 81, 000. 900. which does not include
a mortgage of $3.50, 600 upon the Lick House,
but which Senator Fair will be only too glad
to pay whenever the trust permits The
question now pending before tie Supreme
Court is upon the application made by the
Society of Pioneers and the Academy OF
Sciences for an appropriation of 100000
each from the surplus in the hands OF the
trustees. These two corporations are
the TeSlduary legatees of the balance
that may remain from the Lick es-
tate after all the other claims are
satisfied. and when their application was
made the trustees of the School of Meehani-
cal Arts interviewed and disputed the right
OF the Lick trustees TO make the diStrlhu-
ton until all their claims and legacies had
been paid.
The papers in the case are very volumin-
Gus, and occupy vast amount of legal cap.
No action Will be taken by the trustees OF
the School of Mechanical Arts until this
contention is decided. The school will re-
celve S540.00 and interest for several years,
and is the only claim unsatished, with the
exception of The historical monument which
Is TO be erected opposite the City Hall on
Market street. and which is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. When the school
and the monument receive their proper
ton the entire balance will be divided be-
tween the Academy of Sciences and the So
scleiy of Pioneers. The secretary believes
that the Lick estate will be entirely closed
before the nrst OF the coming year.

IT IS ACTIVE BENEVOLENCE.
A Good Showing by the San Fran.
cisco Association.
Thousands of Persons Relieved-No Need TO
Be Hungry in This City-Iucreas-
ing Demands

The secretary OF the San Francisco Benev-
olent Association, whose office is at 20 Webb
street. reports that the applications for
temporary assistance are unusually numer-
Gus for this season of the year. OF course
the demands upon the association are
always larger during the winter season, as
In December, 1891, there were no less than
1895 persons relieved, while last month
there were but 2SS. Owing TO dull times
and consequent lack Of employment the
number of persons seeking aid during the
present month shows a large increase over
these for the same month in previous years.
and the present resources Of the association
will be largely drawn upon thereby. For
the year ending Nav 81. 1892 there were no
less than 1877 individuals and 332 families
relieved. The individuals are given meal
and lodging tickets, and occasionally, in
extreme cases, are allowed transportation
tickets 10 their homes In conjunction with
The labor establishments the association
gives orders for situations where the APP
pllcant is unable to pay the usual fee
required. Clothes and wearing apparel is
also furnished, care being taken In almost
every case 10 ascertain If the recip-
tents OF the gifts are worthy. The
aid TO families is generously ex-
tended in the shape Of flour, groceries,
coal and the like, and In case Of peculiar
misfortune the rent is paid and the
family is saved from being thrust into the
street. The association aids in conjunction
with the Associated Charities. and thus every
worthy case of restitution is quickly re-
ported and promptly relieved. The re-
sources OF the association ale derived from
the city authorities, who appropriate $1,000
per annum for this purpose. The balance
Of the expenditure, which exceeds the
amount allowed by the city by some $1,000
TO 5000, Is given by charitably disposed
citizens, who contribute also large quanti-
ties OF cast-Oh clothing, groceries, etc,
which are also in constant demand. Many
generous hearted merchants are contribu-
tors 10 the resources Of the Ociati on,
and It is very rarely indeed that an I'M
worthy person receives the benefit of their
benehcent action. For the occasional as
sisIance that is demanded by persons who
are out OF work and need nights
sleep or meal are no especial
inquiry Is made. Any Que applying for tenn
pOrary aid Is Immediately relieved.
As atfoTdIng a comprehensive view of the
scupe of the association the following items
are taken from the annual summary for the
last fiscal year: The applicants numbered,
In all, SIG persons for lodgings, 1923 20;
meals, S40j 90; groceries, 5000 81 trans

MANY EUROPEAN COLONISTS.
The Increasing immigration of
Swiss and Italian Peasants.
The Contributing Colony Plan by Which
Those Of the Old World Gain a
Home in the New.

A party Of nearly 1900 Swiss and italian
peasants are preparing to emigrate to
California, and their arrival here is ex-
pected about the latter end OF October
The immigrants are Of the well-to-do
peasant class, who have been attracted to
these shores by the prosperity of their
countrymen already settled here. The party
will consist OF two colonies, one recruited
in Genoa, Italy. and the other in Belln-
ZOnia, Switzerland. The former consists of
125 families or about GOO people and the
Switzers number from 900 to 1000
The lands upon which they will loca te
upon their arrival here have already been
secured and within the next few weeks the
structures for their occupancy will be
erected. The majority of the colons.s in
tend to engage in fruit-ralsing and wine
making, while minority, and princi-
pally the Swiss, will go into the
dairying business. The colonies were
formed upon the system adopted by
building and loan societies in this city, and
not only have an ample capital to carry out
the plans they have in view. but will have
the financial aid OF the contributing MEM
bers to the colony fund who will not MI
crate. j. +. FugaZi of this city will leave
In a few weeks for Havre, where he will
meet the colonists and conduct them to their
destination. Mr.. FugaZi states that the
plan upon which these colonies are formed
was originated by g. Dramatieo in Genoa
and Berta and AndreaZzi of Bellnzonia,
Switzerland. The method has been to
secure membership who viii contribute
regular weekly dues toward the colony
fund. AS soon as the funds are sufficient to
allow a certain number of the members with
their families to emigTata and firmly estab-
lish themselves in the New World meeting
is called and the fortunate ones are chosen
by lot. The colonies mentioned will be the
first tn come to California by this method
Although the heads of the families are pos
sessed OF some capital, still tie fact that
they sre sustained by the contributing
members will enable them TO pro ftably
establish themselves in farming, fruit
raising or business
Mr.. Fugazi states that California Is the
Mecca Of the Swiss and Italian immigrant
10 whose native lands its soil, climate and
productions bear such a close resemblance.
Within the past year no less than $500 OF
these immigrants have located i'm this State
Heretofore they have. come individually or
In families. The colony project, however
holds out more promises of success and it
is probable that immigration parties of this
Class viii be Of frequent note. The great
majority of the Swiss and Italians HE away

occupation.
