Inquiry for a Mythical
Fortune.
Judge Coffey Worried by an Eastern
Papers Tale of an Imaginary
Windfall.

One more mythical vast estate and for
tune has cropped up in California through
a publication in an Eastern paper, and
Probate Judge Coffey is assailed with
anxious inquiries from presumptive heirs
in the East.
On Thursday last Judge Coffey received
the following epistle:
NEW YORK, January 6, 1894.
Sir: am anxious To hud the particulars Of
the inclOsed article. which appeared IN the
New YORK World December 20, 1898 Would

Will give me the desired Information, and by So
doing you will confer great favor upon yours
respectfully. Nj RS. r. +. FITZGERALD,
Essex Market place, New York City, n. Y.
Iuclosed with the letter was a clipping
from the aforementioned newspaper,
which read as follows:
AUNT BEQUEATHs HIM FORTUNE.
by Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. 2S.-By the
death OF an aunt in California Patrick Fiiz-
gerald, formerly OF this city. has fallen heir 10
a fortune estimated at Sl.3600O0. He for
meTly worked here, but his present where

Judge Coffey did not know exactly what
10 make of the above communication, as he
had never heard of any such estate. He did
not think IL necessary to send any Volum-
inOus reply, so eOntented himself with the
following message: There is no such
estate in this court. January II, 1894 !:
Friday, 5P. NJ. j. Y. Coffey, Judge Su-
perior Court, Department Probate). San

The Judge says the Eastern elm ate
must have the effect of making people fer
tile of imagination, as this is the fourth or
fifth time in the past few months that he
has been worried with anxious inquiries
concerning an estate that did not exist.

GIILs AND THE FLORENCE CRITTENToN
Missions.-A book of 307 pages has just
been issued, and is the production OF
Charlton Edholm of Oakland, superin-
tendent Press Worlds Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and reporter of the
Florence Crittenton missions. The writer,
who for many years has devoted her time
to the study of the causes that drive girls
to the broad path that leads to moral and
physical wreck and men and women to
lives of dissipation, gives in plain language
her views on these topics for the purpose
of opening the eyes of parents and guar
dians to the great evil that surrounds those
who are too young or too weak OF mind TO
fully appreciate their danger. She also
suggests many ways by which this danger
can be averted. She also gives an inter
estlng account of the Florence missions
for girls that are now in operation In New
York, Oakland, San francisco. Sacra-
mentO, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Georgia,
Denver and Chicago, showing the good
work that these missions have accom-
plisbed and what they are still doing. The
proceeds of the sale of this book are to be
applied to the missions.
AMERICAS ADvERTIsERS.-To those
interested in knowing who and where
Americas advertisers are this book will
prove OF unQuestioned value. 1t contains
a history and detailed description of the
general advertisers of this country, tells
how they advertise and what mediums
they use. Men who wish to advertise are
told best how TO do so, and those wishing
to reach advertisers are told where TO find
them. Aside from containing a complete
history of advertising from tribal times
to the present day, il furnishes a full de-
scriptiOn and analysis of each State in the
Unite1 States from purely advertising
standpoint, besides a number of able ar
tIcles upon numerous subjects most inter
esting TO advertisers. II will prove an
invaluable aid TO adverts ers as we'll as

GRIEG'S MUSIC.

Concert.

concert.
Tho programme for the Carr-Beel popu-
lar concert next Friday will consist en-
tirely of instrumental music. This is an
interesting experiment, for it will form a
good test OF the interest taken in an ex-
cellent programme of chamber music, in
which singer does not appear.
The various numbers, all of which are
by Grieg, will consist of an old Norwegian
romance, with variations. for two pianos,
played by Miss Bell and Miss Hida An
derson; the string quartet, repeated by
desire, and a sonata in G minor for piano
forte and violin, played by Miss Carr and
Sigmund Beel.
Just at present, when the Eastern critics
are rallying to the battle-calls of national
ism or nOn-nationalism in music. a pro-
gramme by Louis Grieg, whose compost
tions are so strongly stamped with the
nationalism of his native Scandinavia,
should prove peculiarly interesting and
appropriate.

was to bear fruit In later years. Here is
specimen bit of verse, I'm August:
From the great trees Iocusts cry
In quavering estate joy-a boy
Shouts wild eall-a mourning dove
In the blue distance sObs--the wind
Manders oy heavy with odors
OF corn and wheat and melon vines;
The trees tremOe with delicious Joy as the breeze
Greets them one by one-nOw the oak.
Now the great sycamore now the elm
Aud the locusts in brazen chorus cry
Like stricken things and the rim g-doye's note
Sobs in the dim distance.
And here is another, 1.-The Noonday
Plain:
The plain lay under the cloudless sky
In utter anu terrible silence.
Not "a sound. not living SOUL not voice
Broke from the ruSset reach OF sod
Save cricket that cried from the deep
OF his Loneliness like q lost soul.
Here is something in different vein:
When the hens begin a-Squawkin
An a-rolltn' in the dust,
When the rooster takes to taIkin'
And To a.crOwin' fit to bust,
When the crows are Gavin, nockin'
An the chickuns boom aud sing
Then It's spring.
When the roads are jest one mudhols
And the water tricklin' round
Makes the barnyard like puddle
An softens up the ground
Till y'r ankle deep in water.
Sayin' words y'r hadn't orter,
When the jaybirds swear ana sing,
Then It's spring.
The songs are most appropriately illus-
trated by drawings done by W. T. Car

binding reflect rare credit upon the pnb

our poet possesses that finer art which

along this Western shore, where redwoods

lyrics, the outCursts of maiden's over
