Children Will Have Them
Frequently.
The Park Commissioners Were
Pleased With Saturdays Festi-
val and VIII Repeat 1t Often.

The children's free fste in Golden Gate
Park on Saturday was such a gratifying
success from many points of view that
| there is a certainty it will often be repro
duced by the Park Commissioners.
All things considered, it is regarded as
wonderful what can be accomplished upon
small amount of money with the help of
willing hands. To be sure, the trouble was
no small item for consideration, but who
would not undertake a troublesome, even
annoying task, knowing that 10000 little
ones are made happy by the actP Satur-
days festival was an object lesson. 1t di0
not fully cost $1,000, which amount re-
NAMED in the chiidren's playground treas
ury after the year now past. There is still
balance. although wagon loads of food
and candy and popcorn were distri buted to
the youngsters free OF cost.
The Market-street Railroad Company let
the children ride free to and from the
park. But the big corporation lost nothing
by the transaction, and that By actual
count. From good auth ority it was learned
yesterday that the fares paid by escorts of
children and also by other adults who
were curious to see the fete swelled re-
ceipts on lines running to Golden Gate
Park lar above normal figures. So instead
oil losing by eXpending small xtra pro-
portion OF motive power 10 earn the chill
dren the company was ahead financially.
Park Commissioner Stow says he is so
pleased with the free festival that it will
be repeated at freQuentlntervals. In this
he is joined by Commissioners Hammond
and Austin.
THE good time for the young people
was such grand success we will have to
repeat il a few times every year at least
said he. 1--WE can hardly appreciate what
world of good 1t does them and how they
glory over day like that one yesterday.
1t astonished us ALL What If il does cost
few hundred dollars? Why, $500 will
be enough for one day. and we are going
10 get the money out OF some of our mil
lionaires TO do il. The surplus from the
children's quarter will be enough for one
or two days year. but we are going to
have more free days for, the children, and
may it do them all much good. For
few hundred dollars so much
can be done. The money could
not be better spent than IN this way,
taking the little boys and girls out of town
and giving them a day in the pure air. let
ting them see the park and giving them a
lunch of the best we can buy. That is the
right kind of charity. and we will repeat it
as often as possible"

A Plea That the Gulf Between Be

At the First Cumberland Presbyterian

in the series to workingmen.

with wrong, and there must be no bitter

must be spoken in love.
The poor are hard headed. but "a a class

TIMELY TOPICS.
'ChriStian Ideals" From
Local Pulpits.
" Broadcloth and Rags -" Laws of
Wealth or Property 90 The
Days of Our Years.

The theme of Rev. George Edward
Walks sermon at Trinity Church yester-
terday morning was the dying year. II
was beautiful and instructive discourse
full of good ideas. The text was taken
from Pslam xc:10: "'The days of our
years are three score and ten; and If bv
reason Of strength they be four score
years, yet is there strength, labor and
sorrow: for it is soon cut eff and we fly
away"
The Rev. Mr.. Walk commenced by say
ing that when God made man he doubt
less intended him to live forever. and that
physical inirmity. decay and death are
the results of sin. 1t aeems hard 10 die,
and no sane man can contemplate death
without feelings of awe-whether it be
the death of a year or man.
The passing years were shown as the
milestones of life and indication of the
progress the world is making day by day.
I'm the early days of this journey the
milestOnes seem long way apart but tn g
distance between them gradually lessons
until they seem almost TO touch each other.
At this rate the goal will soon be reached.
IN more certainly does winter succeed
spring than death succeed life."
The Rev. Mr.. Walk dwelt at some length
on what he called the suicidal intent" of
the people. He showed that the present
rapid rate of living was sure to bring an
untlmely grave. He, himself, considered
long life favor. but knew the lives Of
some were only Giving deaths"
The whole sermon was full of bright
thought and wise instructions of how to
begin the new year.

A BLYTHE CASE OFFSHOOT.
Attempt to Influence the
Supreme Court


Af1idavits and and a motion TO postpone
the hearing of an appeal of thu Blythe
case have been filed in the Supreme Court
bv Attorney Towle, representing the
Blythe company of claimants.
The charge is, briefly, that Attorney
General w. FL. II. Hart of counsel with T.
l. Bergin, W. w. Foote, John II. Boalt
and i. b. Bishop for the successful claim-
ant. Florence Blythe Hinckley. made over
to Attorney George Z. Bates, brother-in-
law OF Chief Justice Beatty, a contingent
interest IN the Blythe property amounting
to. 100000. upon consideration that he
might influence the Chief Justice in rem
dering a decision favorable to Harris
client. 1t is claimed by TUwle that the
interest was made over by assignment on
April II, 1890, three copies being made OF
it; that Judge Coffey's decision was rem
dered on July 81 of the same year, and
that on November so. 1892, when the Su-
preme Court rendered its decision on the
firstappeal, Chief Justice Beatty announced
that be was disqualified from participation
in it, owing to this interest of his brother
in-law.
Attorney General Hart denies that there
was any such assignment. lie says he
borrow $4,000 from Attorney Bates, not
knowing that the latter was acquainted
with Justice Beatty, who was not even
nominated for Office at that time. He re-
garded Towle's affidavit as a desperate
attempt to bolster up weak case.
Chief Justice Beatty corrobUrated this
statement as TO the loan, saying that there
had been no secrecy in the matter so far as
be was aware.
Attorney George f. Bates confirmed
this and incidentally threw some light on
the big attorneys fees lin the case and the
big stakes gambIed for. Said he:
In April. 1890. Hart borrowed $4,000
from ME 10 use in the case. In any event
he was TO repay the loan, and it Florence
won | was to get bonus of 10 per cent of
his entire fee.
At that time General Hart had a con-
tract which called for IL per cent of the
entire estate If he won. My bonus on that
basis amounts to three quarters of per
cent OF the estate. If it is vaued at S., Co.,
600 that will give me $4,000. / think tie
estate is worth S4,00O,000, however, and
expect to get $40. 900 for my share.
Mr. Bates said he made the loan just
before the case had been decided by Judge
C0ffey and simply risked 5000 Oh the
chance of getting $4,000. Attorney Gan
eral Hart had been negotiating with others
Tor the loan. before coming to him. When
the loan was n ade il was not thought that
Justice Beatty would sit in the case.
The matter is likely TO come up in the
Supreme Court tomorrow, when Attor-
ney-General Hart will file affidavits in
answer to Attorney Towe.
