KINDNESS. cnNrLnNnss, Loyn


Professor Gentry with his army of
educated ponies and dogs exhibit under
their tent at the corner of Seventh
and Throckmorton streets three nights
beginning tomorrow night and mat
inee Wednesday at 2:S0. One of the
secrets of the wonderful success OF
Professor Gentry is that he is as kind
and gentle to the little beauty Shet-
lands aud dogs as fond mother is
to the children she loves. He has only
to tell them what he wants them TO
do, and II is done. They all seem
anxious and willing to perform their
parts as anyone who might expect to
be literally rewarded. This may par
TALLY be from the fact that they so
thoroughly enjoy the visit of the audi
ence on the stage after each perform
ance and seem disappointed when
visit Is not made them. They thor
oughly enjoy the sweetmeats and ca
resses Of the ladies' and children. Adj
mission; Children, 10 cents; adults, 20
cents.

MEANS TO FIGHT.
George GIadding Contests
His Fathers Will.
Claims That Through Undue lnfIu-
ence He Was Cut Off With
Only $500.

George l.. Gladding is not going to sub
nit TO being disinberited by his late
father, Charles Gladding. without a strug-
gle. In a petition fled with the Probate
Clerk yesterday morning he seeks to set
aside the will or various grounds.
1t will be remembered that Charles
Gladding, the senior member of the firm OF
Gladding, Mclean & Co., died in Rome a
few weeks ago. His will, filed for probate
in San Francisco and afterward admitted.
bequeathed an estate of value exceeding
100000 to his widow and one son and
daughter. TO the exclusion of tie petit
toner. to whom the rldiculously small sum
of $500 was beQueathed.
In that testamentary document he
stated as his reasons for so disinherltlng
George that he felt that his son would not
make proper use OF anything he might
leave him, as his conduct had been such
that it was impossible for his father to
place any confidence In him. 1t was also
stated by Mr.. Gladding that he had from
time TO time made considerable advances
of money to his son George. and tn at he
was not entitled to any further consider
alton.
George Gladdng now asserts that al the
time his father executed his will, bearing
date of August 2, 1892 he was not cOmpe-
tent TO make will; that the purported
will was not signed by Charles Gladding
in the presence of the attestinR witnesses;
that 1.-THE said purported will was so made
by the said Charles Gladding while acting
| under duress. menace, fraud and undue
influence" and that "the wife of said
Charles Gladding and said daughter, Flora
Eleanor GladdiDg, have for more than five
years past continually poisoned the mind
of said Charles Gladding against your
petitioner"
Ii is charged that Mrs. Gladding and her
daughter represented to the teStatoT that
George Gladding was dissolute, unworthy
OF regard, a profigate, drunkard and
gambler, all OF which representations, OF
course. are false, and so known to be by
the parties who made them. To this con-
duct the petitioner attributes the fact that
he was cut off with only $500. and he in
tends to duly contest the matter before
Judge Coffey.

length, while Oakland beat the favorte
head for the place.
The two-year-old race of half mile set
the talent to hard guessing between Gus
Strauss, GasseD, Venus and Sunlit FLY,
the most recent performance of the last
named aud the stable reputation OF the
first one giving them slightly the call. Gus
Strauss, however, spoiled his chances al
the post. where, during one of his spells Of
bad behavior. he threw his jockey over the
rail, luckily without hurting him. Gassen,
stable companion of Diggs, cut out the
running, but after striking the stretch he
was out of it, the despised outsider Sea
Spray. at 30 to l. giving Venus quite race
for first nonors and beating Sunlit FLY for
the place by half length.
The ten horses entered in the last event,
run over the FuturIty course, all faced the
starter. Red Chief opened up al TO 5.
but gradually went back till he reached z
to 2, closing at half a point less. True
Briton, on the contrary, shortened from
threes TO twos. and was most heavily
backed. Rose Clark was we'll played at
fyes. and Silver Plate, despite her late
exhibition of quitting propensities. was

her friends by running a very good race in
Felix Cars hands, being only beaten half

advertising Tor agents for his cigar business
and each applicant had TO depOst SIS for the
