VISITORS FROM THE FAIR.
Two Noted French Representatives
Viewing the City.


Maurice L. de Velmarin of Paris and
Paul Blum of Lille, France, arrived in the
city Yesterday from Chicago, and are at
the Palace Hotel.
Both these gentlemen are representa-
tives of French interests at the Worlds
Fair. NJ. Velmarin is the French Commits
sioner of Horticulture and NJ. Blum repre-
sents the French Chamber of Commerce.
Their trip across the continent is made
merely for pleasure and sightseeing, and
10 take n needed rest after the labor of
arranging their respective exhibits at the
Worlds Fair buildings.
Yesterday they were driven around the
city TO numerous points of interest, and
they will spend several days here before
the return trip.
La speaking Yesterday of the fair neither
OF them seemed as enthusiastic as might
be expected on its success thus far.
There has been too much delay in for
Wardng and arranging the many eX-
hibits," said NJ. Veimarn.
Things are yet in decidedly chaotic
state, and will be for some time
The French exhibit compares fayora-
bly,. mink, when everything is taken into
consideration.
Yes. there will no doubt be a large
number of visitors to the fair from all he
European countries. France Will contrib
ute her share.
Not until after the summer mon this,
however, will the crowds begin to come
over Many will spend the winter here !;
others Will remain only for short time
Many of the European visitors will no
doubt improve the opportunity while in
this country to visit California and the
west. am sure they will find it both
pleasant and profitable"

me, and the boys will find they will have some
one with brains to work against, though he
may. have oth-rs full of knavi>h trio TO work
against him, for it seems to me unless one Is up
TO all the meanest and lowest tricKS ana IN the
swim with all the others one doesn't get on In
America. Good-by, mamma dear, snail write
you again. l cannon help worrying untii my
money comes. l hope you are well. The first
baby kiss from your tiny grandson. the same

MAMIE.
A claim of Thomas Barry for legal ser
vices receives goodly share OF Lady
Wolselev's contumely. She says ne asked
$1,000 for representing her In Trivial case.
Il do think people on this side may well
be cautioned about American lawyers ana
their manner of cheating (sharpness IS not
the word for them)," she added.
Another letter contains the following
evidences of her sisterly affecilon:
wonder will you be able to come over In the
summer. Why can't Nellie get married? her
face has not been her fortune 80 lar
Nellie thinks too much of herself and IS made
fool of only for her looks, and now well she is
taken In by lots of people.
IL is beas,ly that YOU should be called upon
10 pay Sammy's doctor bis-and such bills
Surely he can be made to pay Tor these ana
others since he has his own money. heisey
sent me last July bill OF e2o Sammy owes
him, and Small used 10 send Danny's to Char-
ley until be got tired of 1t and stopped II. why
not write Bount, state to him his power, say
ing about Sammy's bills?
l had letter from Nellie on the 18th inst.
In which she says Issey will explain what she
meant by not lending money; that she Will noI
take the trouble TO do so. This she need mol
do, though Issey gave me no explanation; Dut
all have to say is that | shall stand no such
cheek from her, and never need she ask me- TO
get her anything or see to things for her, for
have no intention Of doing iE.
Later on Lady Wolseley implores her
mother not to ''break Off with her on the
strength of a claim that was demanded.

appears. only continued to receive his
attentions. This naturally led to trouble,
which, however, did not last long.
1t aso brought out the fact that Mrs.
Murphy complained of heart disease, but
Miss Mary always turned her fears away.
'After her sudden death" said the lat
ter, Il knew that she was troubled with
heart disease"
Did you testify at tie last hearing"
was asked, ''that you had done everything
that you could to bring YOUR mother and
Lady W olsely together?"
II did all l could. Lady Wolseley
treated me so badly and called me names"
"How lad Lady Wolseley insulted youP"
SAT the Victoria Hotel she got very
angry and called me lots of Names"
What did she call you?"
'She said l was painted and dyed. and
blackened my eyes; and l don't know
what else all in the same tone"
This happened on the occasion of dis
pute over $500, which Lady Wolseley
claimed was due her from the estate.

ROUGH ON LADY WOLSELEY.
"Let Me Go to My Grave Saying at
Least One Child Will DO Nothing
to Send Me There"

Between attorneys and clients in the
Murphy will contest some queer inside
history of the Murphy family came above
the surface yesterday.
Everybody knows that the Misses
Murphy and their brothers have money
enough to let a disputed few hundred
thousands 60 for an object. Yet the fight
continues with as much feeling as ever,
aud people begin to ask what can be the
motive that throws family pride and
honor to the winds.
What will be said beyond the Atlantic
when Lady Wolseley's name is dragged
before the vulgar? AT least:
"Beastly bad form. don't you know?-
very beastly. Poor Wolseleyi He mar
ried for money"
1t is not pleasant for the young ladies
who appear as defendants in support of
their mothers will.
Mrs. Murphy used to sign herself Your
poor mama," when dissensions among her
children over money matters made hope
less breaks in home ties.
''Let me 90 to the grave" she wrote in
one letter, Saying at least one child will
not do anything to help me to my grave"
That was not long before the good old
lady died. She wrote. and there were tears
between her pathetic and tender lines,
praying and begging for her children's af-
fections.
Some Of these letters were read yesterday
by Attorney Wheeler in court.
The lawyer knew well how to use them.
He was dramatic, his tone quite salts
factory in its desired effect. The words
sounded hollow among the strange audi
ence-they were suggestive of the grave
referred to so painfully by the dead woman.
The proceedings before Judge Henshaw
In Oakland opened in the middle of a legal
tangIe about possession of letters that
passed between different members of the
family.
The reading of the exhaustive deposi-
ton of Miss Mary Helen Murphy was re-
sumed at the one hundredth page or there
abouts. But before delving into the
voluminOus document Attorney Wheeler
asked again for letters and documents in
possession of the sisters or of Victor Met
calf, administrator of Mrs. Anna Murphy's
estate.
ST will ask the court" he said, "for let
lets between Daniel T. and Miss Mary
Helen from the fathers death in 1885 to
the date of Mrs. Murphy's death. The
theory on which we ask is we expect TO
show that his statements in these CON-
munications were repeated in distorted
form to the mother by Miss Mary for the
purpose of unduly influencing her against
Daniel T."
"They would show merely that there
were business differences between Dan
and his mother" remarked the Judge
wearily.
Rather the basis for prejudlcing mother
against Dan," added the attorney.
"Then let US determine this, once for
ALL" said the court. "Mr Metcalf, have
you any of the letters between Mrs.
Murphy, her sons and daughters. or be-
tween both parties in this case?"
"We have" was the abrupt reply.
"The IDEA is this" remarked the court
''you expect to prove that Miss Mary
Helen made false statements to her
mother. with a view to prejudice Mrs.
Murphy against Daniel The letters must
be produced"

Houses Numbered Up with Bric-a-Brac
and Ornamental Furniture.

ana ornamental furniture.
TOO little furniture is bad, but too
much. it seems to me, is a good deal
worse" said a faded housekeeper to
writer for the New York Ledger. MY
life is literally worn out with moving
and putting I'm order and caring for the
thousand and one articles OF doubtful
ornamentation and absolute uselessness
with which the house is numbered. l
think that an ornament must have some
excuse for being, in order TO be really
worth the time and trouble required to
take care of II. Instead Of this, we have
representations Of all sorts OF quaint
and queer things that appear to me TO
have no right whatever in the
drawing-room to say the least.
Some of these days l hope TO
see more of what might be called
adaptation In the bestowing Of our house
hold decorations. The library Is a good
place for curiosities unless one has a
special room devoted to such purposes
and they ought to be kept there instead
OF in the drawing-room or pariors. A
cabinet with shelves might be placed in
either OF these rooms and filled with
articles appropriate to the apartment.
But how often DO we find every sort OF
curiO, from the horrible and grotesque to
the realistic ana almost luuStcut, all diiS-
ed in reception and In family rooms.
or course where space Is Invited. one
must do the best one can; but, all the
same. there are many bits Of bric-a-brac
that would be much more agreeable II
less prominently exhibited. To tumble
Indian, Chinese, Japanese. and all manner
Of articles into one place In such close
proximity that they continually elbow
each other. Is like colonzng the different
sorts Of people under the same roof, and
compelling them 10 live there whether
fhev will or no. The lncongrulty, after
a time, becomes painful, and 1t would
seem as though, I'm their own way the
articles would quarrel with each other
as violently as would the human speci-
mems OF the same species were they
thus crowded i'm together. And what Is
true Of bric-a-brac Is equally true OF
furniture The fancy for odd pieces
sometimes runs absolutely riot, and
brings about the collection Of hetero-
geneous assortment Of furnishings, that.
however fine they may be Individually
are an offense and a WEAKNESS when
they must be endured collectively. Few
er articles. chosen and arranged on
well-defned plan and with the most scru-
nulous regard for one another, are much
more satisfactory TO an artistic taste
than the choicest miscellaneous eollec-
ton that the gathering mania ever
brought under one roof.
