Ex-senator Fairs SON Charles Begins Suit
for Two Half-miilion Dollar Legacies--
Conditional Requests About Which
There is Dispute--story of the Case.

SAN Francisco, Call, Aug. 49,
Charles l.. Fair, surviving son of ex.
Senator Fair, began another effort in
probate department of the superior
court to-day to secure million of his
mothers estate, the amount being the
aggregate legacy Of his deceased brother
james and himself.
Mrs. Fair left 100000 to each of her
sons, James to receive his at 35 and
Charles when 30 years of age. 1t was
stated by her will that in case either son
died before attaining the age named
without wife or lawful children, his
share should revert to his brother.
James died two years ago when he was
SO years old. Charles claimed his
legacy then, but both the superior and
the supreme courts decided that Charles
must wait for James legacy until such
time MS the latter would have been 80
years of age.
Since that decision Charles has mar
ried and claims that TIE ceremony
altered the case, emitting him to imme-
diate possession of both legacies. If he
should get what he claims his wife
would receive half of his Inheritance
and his father one-half, and as his sis.
tors cannot get either legacy now, there
is no use in their fighting to keep the
money from him longer.
Mrs. Fairs eldest daughter is now en-
titled to receive a million and half,
her share of her mothers estate, which
is now ready for distribution. Charles
new contest will probably tie up the
| property for another year.

A Woman Has ut Last Invented a frao-
tinal Dnrning Machine.


Once more woman has covered her.
self with glory. 1t may not be the
same sort of fame that tue summer girl
ycarns for, but it will be good, sound
glory lust the same, for she has invented
a regular household angel. When one
thinks of the millions of hours that arc
wasted by women trying to fill up the
holes that small boys and grown-up
men bring out of the heels and toes of
hosiery, and then lock at the invention,
it makes one wonder why nobody has
been inspired before this to invent q
darning machine.
This one, which a New York woman
suggested and her husband carried out,
is regular little loom. IL will darn envy
hole up to. two and half inches one
way and five the other. There is a Hat
wooden piece that is inserted in the
stocking under the space needing darn
ing. Then the loom shuts on over it.
The holes should he first surrounded as
in darning by hand. A needle threaded
with the darning cotton or yarn starts
at one corner of the space to be attended
TO and the warp is put on to the little
loom with this. There are two sets of
teeth, just as in silk or cotton loom,
which are worked by simple little
thumb lever, and the needle thrusts the
width Of the darn under one set of the
threads of the warp. The lever is then
pushed down and the alternate set of
threads is lifted for the needle to be
passed under again. 1t is done in no
time. Anybody can handle it, and
really it is more fun than knitting,
while it is so smooth that the men folks
can't object to it with any sense or say
darns hurt their feet.
The women who devised it ought to
receive the combined thanks Of the
nation Of mothers who are wearing out
their lives trying to keep up with lively
| youngsters and worn.out knees.

The Presidents letter to Chairman
Wilson will now be adjudged huge
blunder by all who know no criterion
but the event In certain sense, that
criterion is fair one to apply to such
an innovation in modern American
politics. If it succeeded in its immediate
and practical aim, it would justify itself,
otherwise its wisdom would remain
doubtful. But there are other aims than
immediate ones and other results than
practical ones, and these must be taken
into consideration in making up q
candid Judgment on the Presidents
letter. For good analogy, go back to
his open protest against the election
of Murphy to the United States Senate.
That was an unprecedented thing, a
bold interference with the party leaders
and the Legislature. Moreover, it was u
thorough failure, practically. Murphy
was elected, and the President-clect
was Inundated, and his out
spoken, opposition to the machine
was a gross blunder. But was ii? Has
time proved Mr.. Cleveland right or
wrong in maintaining that Murphy was
not fit man to represent New York
Democrats in the United States Senate ?
Let the mans Senatorial career answer.
Does any other State envy New York
the possession of a representative whose
name has gone through the country
covered with ridicule and adherence in
about equal proportions? Is it a good
thing or Il bad thing for the President
and for the decent members of his party,
that he publicly washed his hands in
advance of man who has since shown
how easy it is to carry a municipal cleo
| ton by terrorism and murder? There
cannot be two opinions about this. The
blunder has turned out most fortunate
thing for Mr.. Cleveland, his repudiatio
| of the New York Senator only having
antedated by couple of years that gen
tleman's emphatic reputation by the
| party as whole.
Mr.. Cleveland's tariff message of 1887
was another Of those bold moves of hi:
which contemporary wisdom made haste
| to set down as a terrible blunder. II
carried him and his party down to de
feat. But somehow the blunder worked

But even if it does not, and the letter b

The ideal house of the future will be
one that can be cleaned with hose.
This idea is not SO unattalnable as at
first sight IL may seem to be. The
drawing rooms and halls of the most
luxurious houses are now paved in
mosaic. The use of Verona and Numi-
dian marbles and of California onyx is
not uncommonly found in wainscoting.
Every year brings to light new Ameri-
can marbles. These, such as the green
of Tennessee and sort Of crushed
strawberry of Texas have fallen in hap-
ply with the newest fashions in color.
For people of less means there are the
enamel bricks that have caught the
iridescence Of soap bubbles, and tiles
that look like tortoise shell. Encourage
ing news comes from the makers of
artificial marble, who expect shortly to
offer every quality and every tint
within the reach OF most people. The
best hopes are, however, with the
stained glass men, who are experiment.
| ing in stained glass mosalcs and vitritied
! floors that are TO be both beautiful and
cheap. The truth is that this season
there are too many occupants of every
house. There are nations of croton
bugs that have Golonized in the wood
wainscoting OF city houses and regi-
ments OF ambitious creatures who want
to be on too intimate terms with man.
Housekeepers say that scarcely within
memory has the warfare they have had
to wage been SO deadly and so stubborn.
The real aim of architecture to them
seems TO be the contrlvlng of houses
that will accommodate only mankind.
The hospitality OF the modern house
increases its drudgery oue-half. When
the house can be cleaned with q hose
the privacy Of the family will be re.
established.
