A CHANCE MEETING.
An Old Woman's Greeting to a
Young Girl.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.


Do you know what ataylSm is? 1t is a strange
and wonderful thing in nature which governs
most OF our physical aud mental resemblances
What il is Will be illustrated by the true story
which follows:
1t was not very long ago that a beautiful
young woman of Nantucket, whose name may
be called Mary Tiibury. was visiting friends at
Marlha's Vineyard. There. it may be men
toned, lived at the time the young man to
whom Mary Tilbury was betrothed. The young
man took her TO drive across the island in the
vehicle used in the place, which has an
open space behind the seat. AS the pair were
driving homeward along lonely road they
saw the bent figure Of all old woman, who bore
uron her back heavy burden of some sort
toilIDg along in advance OF them. As they
overlook her the young woman proposed that
they should invite her TO ride. They did so,
and were grad they did, for the old woman was
evidently travel and burden weary, and looked
up al them as they stopped by her side with a
grateful EXPRESSION upon her lace. She was
extremely Old She might well have been be-
yond her eightieih year. Tie young man
helped her into the wagon. She placed her
pack upon the floor of the wagon in The space
behind the seat and sat down upon it.
The old woman meantime Kept looking hard
al Mary Tilbuiy and shaking her head, with q
far-away EXPRESSION in her old eyes. Presently
she SAID: You are the most beautiful girl |
ever saw, except one; and that girl look eX
actly like you-Ibe same blue eyes, the same
light-browD hair, The same fair complexion. the
very same features, anu just exactly tndt smile

than sixty years ago that that gill came here'

WATCHES ON TICK
A Company Started on
Nothing.
Creditors Are Resolved to Make the
Occidental Watch Company Ex-
plain Their Business Ways.

Tie whole majesty of the law is in the
process Of descending upon the Occidental
Watch Company Of San Francisco, which
recently failed. This company seems to
have had more enterprise than most con-
Germs in that. starting on a capital of
nothing at ali or Whereabouts. it built up in
a space of two years a sufficiently large
credit to allow it to fail for $50, 900.
That is not all. The way it was done
surpasses all belief. Messrs. j. Cal Ewing
and Eaton, the chief actors in the horologi-
ca! drama. appear to have been possessed
of sufficiently generous nature to have
transferred their interests-and liabilities
to certain relatives and friends at ruin
Gus discount. and when it was found that
a. }. Eaton had transferred $4,000 worth Of
property belonging to the company upon .
loan of $1,000, which he obtained from his
mother, and thai J. Cal Ewing had taken
it into his head to transfer certain land
property in Fresno County to his wife
under the subsequent claim that 1t was
a legitimate deed of gift, certain of the
creditors were rash enough to ask for an
official examination of the books in OTdsr
to find ous what had become of the goods
and the sales therefrom. intrusted to the
so-called com pany OH credit.
settle by paying % cents on the dollar.
This was refused and Court Commissioner
Frank LAWYER was authorized to conduct
an investigation. Eaton was examined at
considerable length upon the books of the
concern and the general management of
the business. and the creditors announced
their determination not 10 stop proceed
inRs until they had sifted the failure, at
the same time throwing out impntatlons
of fraud on the part Of the directors and
managers OF the company.
Yesterday all the interested parties as
sen bled in Commissioner LAWYERS Office
and j. Cal Ewing was examined One
was why his firm had ceased making de
pOsits after May % last. His only reply
was that the firm did not want to make
deposits. he explained that there was
not much money to the credit of the col m
pany and it did not desire TO pay in.
for instance, 500 at II o'clock in the morn

Co. mostly and from other firms" was
asked.
"Well. some of it has been embezzled,
aud of the rest | nave made presents to
my wife and relatives, and so has Mr..
Eaton"
In evidence it turned out that the Cecil
dental Watch Company had obtained some
$1,000 worth of jewelry from Greenberg &
CO.. but unfortunately had omitted to ac-
count for that same. Ewing WAS tax en-
severely to ia SIX for the disappearance of
this jew elry, and was questioned upon his
own personal effects in the shape of dia-
mond studs and a watch which he had
'borrowed' from the concern lie was in
terested in. His examination was no con-
cludeG when an adjournment was decided
upon until 80 p NJ. tomorrow.

Another Raise asked South of
Army Street.

between Army and Twenty-eightb, are
again to be put TO expense and the grades
of their street again changed ana raised

which has just laId the new electric road
bed, will also be out several thousand dol
lars and be compelled to take up and relay
its roadbed. Three months ago the grade
was raised four feet and changed from the
then official grade. A mum Der of property
owners opposed the raise OF four feet as
not sufficient and wanted raise of seven
feet. They were overruled, however, but
have since prevailed upon the city authorl-
ties to order tie raise eff seven feet
The notices to tn at effect are now posted
along the line of the proposed change, and
1t is expected that much opposition will
be made by those affected.

that beautiful girl from Nantucket was her
great grandmother. In the four generation
a woman had come into the world who was SO

THE WIDOW WON.
An Oculist's Deathbed Assignment
Declared Illegal.

Declared Illegal.
An interesting decision was rendered in
the Circuit Court yesterday in the case of
Eudora Y. Smith against the New York
Life Insurance Company. Judgment for
$500 was awarded to the plaintiff, who
was the widow of DR.. W. F. Smith, a
wel-known oculist. Several years ago
DR.. Smith deserted his wife and child and
went to Chicago. where he died. On mis-
deathbed he assigned a life insurance
policy, which remained in the safe of an
attorney of this city. to DR.. Murphy of
Chicago for debt of S340o 10 this way
he disnherited his widow and child.
Soon after his death Mrs. Smith procured
letters of administration here and the
Jennings Trust Company Of Chicago also
secured letters there. Then began a
struggle for the proceeds of the life iusur-
ance policy. which was decided in favor Of
the widow yesterday. In his decision
Judge McKenna held mat the policy was
portion of the estate here and that the
deathbed assignment was fraudulent.

AN IMMENSE CROWD.
Thousands Attend the Opening of J. j.
O'Brien s. Co.'s Clearance Sale.

The opening OF j. j. O'Brien & Co.'S
summer clearance sale yesterday was a
wonderful success, the store being literally
packed with customers from early fore
noon until the closing hour at night.
This immense OutD0uring of buyers is
dOubly remarkable in view OF the lrevail-
ing stringency of the times. but it is not to
be wondered at when the unprecedent ted
character of the attractions offered is con-
sidered, for every article comprising the
firms present immense stock has been cut
to figures that make a speedy clearance a
foregone conclusion.

plant abounds, while in various other
portions of the ciiy's pleasure ground the
dread enemy of many people is met and
unfortunately felt in a few days after the
visit.

Unwedded, Yet Wife.

The case of William Hickok came up be-
fore the Supreme Court yesterday on
writ of habeas corpus.
The circumstances connected with the
case are very peculiar. HickOk was di-
vorced from his wife little while ago, but
no decree was entered. He was subse-
quently convicted on a terrible charge in
connection with his own daughter mainly on
his wife's testimony. Hickok moved for a
writ OF habeas CORPUS on the ground that
his wife.S testimony was invalid. as she
was in all legal fact his wife at the time
she gave it. The Supreme Court took this
view and granted Hiekok bis liberty.

People Who Fall Safely.

A fall as a rule Injuries drunken man
much less than sober one, because the
controlling power Of the mind being rem
dered nil through intoxication the body
falls as an inert mass and thus the chances
Of injury are lessened, for, strange though
it may appear, it is no less a fact that the
most numerous cases of injury arising
from fall are caused by the effort, volun-
tary or otherwise, to avert the conse-
quences, thus straining the muscles and
tendons. Very rarely are injurious effects
from fall known in lunatic asylum for
the same simple reason-the mind has no
influence over the action of the body.
And it is remarkable and well known
fact to those who have to deal with such
cases that whatever injuries are so caused
heal much more rapidly than in the case
of sane people. the mind having more to
do with retarding or assisting natures
efforts than is generally known or real
ized-Boston Herald.
