HER MENTAL FACULTIES SOUND,
Mrs. Annie Pratt Is Once More
Examined.
Drs. Wernigk and MacGowan Tes-
tify Yesterday.
Mrs. Goodspeed Is Severely Cross Ex
amlned-InterestinG Evidence
Tho Case Nearing
Close.

The Goodspeed Mansfield case was re-
sumed Yesterday in Judge Clark's court.
Mrs. Goodspeed, the petitioner, occu
pied the witness stand most of the day.
and wac subjected to a severe croes ex-
animation by the contestants attor-
neys.
Witness denied ever telling DR.. Brain
ard or anyone else that she was sufferer
from Bright's disease. She WAS last at
the ranch five years ago; saw Mr.. Good
speed and cav how things were going
on; has never been there since; no one
else ever attended to the management
OF the ranch except herself. First met
Mr.. Abecco in 1864; he was member
of a minstrel troupe, and witness often
heard him sing at matinees. Witness
asked her father half dozen times for
his consent TO her marriage with Mr..
Abecco.
Witness was then cross examined as
to the details OF her elopement with
Abecco, but no new facts were brought
out.
The court then adjourned for lunch
con.
At 2 o'clock Mrs. Goodspeed again
took the witness stand.
The witness declared her age at AS
years. Was not 70 when she eloped
with Aoecco. Witness left no message
for her father apprising him of her
elopement.
Never received but one letter from
General Mansfield. Did not remem Der
receiving any other letter. Never com.
municated with anyone concerning the
removal OF Mr.. Goodspeed from the
ranch, but had talked with several
people about it, among them General
Mansfield.
At that time was dssirous OF remov-
ing him. Had changed her opinion
slnce her divorce, and considered him
n good business man; the best possible
caretaker of the ranch. Has heard of
no proposition made by her authority
to keep him in charge OF the property
Never said that ii his children refused
to testify in the present case he should
be kept in his position as superinteDd-
ent
Witness had lot in San Francisco
which WAS purchased partly with her
own money and partly with Eer
mothers. 1t wss not, to the best of
witness recollection, conveyed to her
by her mother. She thought perhaps
her father might have conveyed it.
The house on Mission street had q
large garden, back and front. Sullivan
WAS the gardener.
Prior to witness accident her three
daughters, two sons and Sullivan occu.
pied the house. Witness helped her
daughters to perform the work. The
deed to the Fsiroak property was in
San Francisco. The house was unoccu-
pied st present. Witness eldest daugh-
ter looked after it occasionally.
There were eight rooms in the house,
not including the kitchen; four of them
were bedrooms.
When witness came to Los Angeles
Sullivan WAS sent to the Irving house to
obtain rooms. The rooms were not
small. but large, and the best in the
house.
There were two rooms, with folding
doors between. The door was always
locked. except when the children
needed it open.
Drs. Wernigk and MacGowan both
testified to having examined Mrs. Annie
Pratt within the past three days. Both
physicians swore that Mrs. Pratt was
mentally eound.
The court adjourned until 10 O'Clock
this morning.

Christmas at tho Epiphany.

The Chrismas services of Epiphany
church, East Los Angeles, were of a
character to make the festival memora-
BILE in the history of the parish. There
was the largest congregation, the great
est number Of communicates and the
most generous Offering for benevolence
ever known there on Christmas.
The church had been beautifully
trimmed for the occasion with ever
green, holly berries and fowers, which.
with the rich altar cloths and hand
some curtains, made the interior appear
to the best advantage. The sermon by
the rector, Rev. Henderson Judd, was
on the text, "Unto you is born this day,
in the city of David, Saviour" which
illustrated the important fact of the in
cernation In the form of little child, as
the most eFectual way OF reaching our
common humanity.
The musical portions of the service,
under the leading of Mrs. Prescott, with
Mrs. Fillmore at the organ, were rem
dered by tull choir, who brought out
every anthem and hymn with excelent
effect. The Te Deum and Sanctus, by
Tours, and fine Christmas selection as
an offertory, by Mics Leon Mmmon, de-
serve special mention.
The Sunday school are to hold their
Christmas service on Holy Innocents'
evening, Thursday, when a tree is ex-
pected TO furnish present for every one
Of the numerous scholars.

founded. She was not dismissed from
any employment and her reputation is
above reproach.

In answer to numerous inquiries regarding
the highest award for beer at the words fair,
we take pleasure in informing you, and reiter-
ating the fact, that we have received under the
authority of the bureau of awards the highest
number OF points on keg beer, on bottled beer
and on the BEST" Tonic. This constitutes the
highest award, complete victory over the en-
tire world.
While the St Louis concern is still publicly
and privately mis- stating the facts throughout
the country, they are in Chicago occupying
he ludicrous position of appealing to the ex-
position, and protesting in their appeal because
we.have been accorded the highest award 10
which they say they are entitled. OF course
this appeal is conclusive evidence that they
have not got the highest award. The whole
object OF their appeal is to destroy, if possible,
the value of the award which has been ac
corded to US, by raising objections. Therefore

Found Dead in His Bed.
a Cat THAT Is Bound to Live.

When he wandered into our boarding
house on Lackawanna avenue, he was a
nice little tomcat with eyes as innocent
rs child's. He used to stand on his hind
legs and CRY for milk, and as long as he
conducted himself he was treated well.
He, however, became thievish and in
snfferably lazy. He used to purloin the
choicest beefsteaks, take them down to
the cellar end dsgotr them. He used
also to get in the way Of the girls. who
were generally In q hurry at mealtime,
and the help became thoroughly sick and
tired of him.
One day the dislawasher flung him out Of
thef fourth stagy back window. He didn't
seem to mfnd It In the least though. He
aHghted on his paws, and looking up at
hesgiT be waaked his right eye, as much
as to say, me, yea DON'T" and then
walked leisursay round to the front of
the house and came into the kitchen
again in all his philasophic calm and
just as though nothing unusual had hap
pened.
The next Gay Thomas was tied up in a
nag ana dspoSJ6a somewhere IN the
wlds near Taylor, brt. 10 and behold, he
returned about tl11sa%aeks afterward at
8 o'clock IN the morning to his old home
and woke mp the whole block with his
piteous appeals for food and shelter. He
was given beth. It was thought that he
might possibly reform, but he didn't. He
became sta1l mere thieyish and lazy.
Then it was determined that he should
die by poison. A nice juicy piece of beef
was spriakled with strychnine, and he
was locked up in aelpset with it for four
days. Everybody thought he would be
dead sure when She closet was opened,
bat he wasn't. He just sinply purred
and clawed the floor for joy when he was
released. He had sense enough not to
touch the poisoned meat at all. Finally
he was locked down in the bottom col
lar, the third from the surface of the
street, and when seen few days ago he
was as fat aad slesa and comfortable
as any cat in the city Of Scranton. He is
living on rats, and the diet seems to
agree with hirn.-Scrailton Truth.

MONTREAL, June Heterogeneous
have been practically completed for the
twelfth annual International convention
OF Christian Endeavor societies which
will be held here from July 9th to 9th
inclusive. Accommodations for over
10000 delegates have been provided, and
about 10000 delegates have already been
assigned to their boarding places. The
Windsor Hotel has been designated as
the headquarters for the United Society,
while the headquarters of TIE Montreal
committee are at the New \ ork Life
Building. The beautiful Balmoral Hotel
is to be the headquarters of the 1000
delegates from New York
The local committee expects the
crowds to begin to pour into Montreal
on July 4th. The reception committee
is to consist of 700 young men and
young women, who viii Wear white
yachting caps, so that however large
may be the crowd surrounding them at
any time, they may be found easily when
information is desired. The badge to be
issued is unique and tasteful. 1t con-

1t has been decided by the United
Society to carry out two programmes
simultaneously, one in the government
drill hall and the other in huge tent on
the parade ground directly opposite.
The drill hall is an immense stone build
ing seating over 5000 persons. 1t is be-
ing tastefully draped with bunting, and
will be kept cool by means of electric
fans. The tent will seat as many as the
drill hall. Four of the largest churches
of the city will also be ready for over

BLUE AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
The Varsity Eight Defeated Harvard in
the Gamiest Race in Years.

NEW LONDON, June 30.-Yale defeated
Harvard in the four-mile race by about
four lengths. The race was the closest
in many years. The time was poor but
that is due to the fresh wind from the
south which kicked up quite sea. There
was considerable splashing in the Harl
ward boat at the start but nevertheless
the crews were neck and neck at the
first half mile flag. Yale, who started
out with 80 stroke had dropped it to
35, while Harvard was rowing SO, one
less than at the start. At the mile flag
the stroke was the same. At the mile
and one-half, Yale was rowing 33 and
Harvard 36. Harvard was splashing
easy stroke. At the two mile flag YALE,
was pulling "a and Harvard SO.
The wind grew sitter as the crews
reached the two mile flag and the water
became rougher. At two and one-half
miles Yale was still pulling in fine form
while Harvard was not doing so we'll.
Yale still maintained her long swinging
stroke OF "a to the minute, while Har.
ward was at 36. Yale was then well in
the lead. At the three mile Yale was
still rowing at "a and Harvard SO. At
three and one-half there was no change
but Immediately both crews spurted,
Yale gaining up to 81 and Harvard to So
Yale crossed the line about four lengths
ahead.
Yale's time was 25 minutes, II seconds.
When the winner crossed the line the
din was deafening. Every whistle in
town, on the river, in the harbor and
on the railroads, and factories added to
the pandemonium and the mighty cheers
of victory from the thousands of exultant
Yalensians were drowned completely.
Not man in the Yale boat dropped as
the oars ceased playing. The boat
backed to a barge near the shore and
within five minutes the eight brawny
Yale fellows were in the arms of wildly
enthusiastic college chums. Capt. Ives's
arm was nearly shaken off and he was
cheered again and again.
Cummings and Burgess were the most
exhausted men in the Harvard boat
They sank to the bottom of the boat for
several minutes but soon revived and
were able to help take the shell ashore.
Considering the fierceness Of the CON
test it is considered almost phenomenal
that not member of either boat col
lapsed completely, even at the finish.
The time was, of course, necessarily
the slowest made of late years. 1t is.
however, remarkable when the elements
of wind and wave are taken into account.

IGNORE THE LAW.
Biddeford Democrats Defy the New Po-
lice Board.

BIDnEFoRD, June 30.--Mayor Staples
sprang a surprise on the police commits
sioners this morning when they went to
him to hold final meeting for the ap-
pointment of new city marshal and
force. 1t was supposed that the Mayor,
who is the Democratic member of the
board, would submit with the best of
grace possible, but when the two Repub-
liean commissioners proposed making
their new appointments he served notice
on them that he should insist as Mayor
that the old force should hold office un-
til removed for cause under the rules
which the commission has already adopt
ed. Commissioner Banks demanded
City Marshal Cote's resignation, and he
replied that he had been elected for a
year and proposed to serve that time.
The Republican commissioners hardly
know what move to make next. There
is every prospect of long legal contest
to settle whether the state law by which
the commission was established is supe-
rior to city ordinances and bubbles
like that raised by the Mayor this morn
ing.
The Democrats are said to be acting
under the advice of Judge Putnam Of
the United statesCourt of Appeals. They
proclaim that they will not pay dollar
from the city treasury on the order of
the commissioners; that they will not
give up the Jail property. and that they
will fight the commission step by step
until the constitutionality of the law is
settled by the highest courts.
The two Republican members are like
ly to stake the bull by the horns' and
make their appointments regardless of
the Mayor. This will mean two city
marshals and two sets of policemen, and
there is no telling what trouble or COM
plication may come, as the feeling is
very bad.
