MAROINKOWSKI's WIFE,"
She Was Not Legally Married, and He
Loses by 1t.

she was Not Legally Married, and He
Loses by 1t.
Judge Murphy yesterday rendered a
judgment in favor of Mary Carlisle, adj
ministratrix of the estate of Isabella
Marcinkowski, against Joseph MARGIN
kowski.
This was suit involving the legal bar
rier of miscegenation. Isabella F. MARGIN
kowski died intestate on July %, 1898,
owning q house on Pine street. near
Mason. On February 81, 1895, her hus-
band, Joseph, entered the property, and
the administrative, Mrs. Carlisle, prom pity
brought suit for eiectment, assessing her
damages at $1,000.
Joseph, who is a tailor, claimed the
ownership of the house on the ground that
he married Isabella in 1877 and lived with
her until the time of her death; that he had
contributed $4,000 toward the building of
the house, and having lost and repurchased
it, he had placed it in Mrs. Marcinkowski' s
name, believing her to be his lawful wife.
At that point his case failed, for it was
proved that Isabella Marcinkowski was a
mulatto, and the law did not recognize
any union between the parties as maria ge.
The judgment against Marcinkowski
was "for the plaintiff for possession of the
premises, and $50 damages for retention
thereof"

BLUE COATS INSPECTED,
Officers and Men Paraded on
Van Ness Avenue Yes
terday.
NEW UNIFORMS AND HELMETS.
With the Appearance Of the
Men.

The inspection by the Police Commits
sloners of the employees of their depart
ment of the City Government took place
on Van Ness avenue at noon yesterday,
and the finest body of men to be found
among the peace officers of any City in the
world, in the opinion of Commissioner
Gunst, marched and countermarched for
the edification of their superiors and Incl
dentally for that of hundreds of citizens
who gathered to view the ceremony.
There were 425 patrolmen in line, but the
total number of bluecoats was swelled to
nearly 500 by the presence of captains, SER
geants and corporals and nearly score of
upper office men.
Though the inspection had been an
nounced for II clock, Van Ness avenue
was crowded with spectators long before
that hour, and Captain Dunlevy, who with
forty men from the Harbor front was the
first to arrive, had considerable difficulty
in getting his men in position. Later, how
ever, squad of mounted officers succeeded
in keeping clear space sufficient for the
evolutions.
Company A, the "Grenadier Company"
of the force, assembled at the new City
Hail. and, headed by Captain Douglass,
Drillmaster Marshall and Special Officer
HelClar, drummer Ir0In battery y, Second
Infantry of the National Guard, marched
in imposing array to the inspection-ground.
Company B, under the command of the
veteran Captain Short, was late in arriv-
ing. 1t is composed of the officers sta
toned south of Market street, and the de-
lay was owing to the greater distance the
men had to march to reach the rendezvous.
The line when formed extended over
three blocks. Before it stood the captains
and the sergeants in command of platoons,
and in the rear individual officers who had
been selected as fileclosers because of their
former experience in the militia or in the
regular army. The captains wore short
six buttoned blouses ornamented with
shoulder-straps and with department and
service stripes in gilt braid about the cuffs.
Their heads were surmounted by caps, on
the front of which, within a gold wreath,
appeared the word Captain" in gold let
tiers. Their stars, too, differed materially
from the ordinary police badge.
The sergeants were attlred similarly, ex-
cept that the word sergeant" appeared on
the caps instead of Captain" The patrol
men wore their long blue coats tightly but
toned, and helmets on the front of which,
within a silver wreath, appeared each ones
number. Every membe of the force wore
white gloves. and though the white belts
and clubs with which they will be equipped
by next Thursday were lacking, the gen
eral effect was very fine.
When the line was at length complete,

LEE FA|RCH|LD'S LAUGHS.
He ProvokeS Many of Them at
the Metropolitan Temple
Last Night.
A Description He Wrote Of Skookum
That Cost Him a Sit

Lee Fairchild, Mrs. II. Lewis and the
Mandolin Club of the high school enter
tanned small but select audience in
Metropolitan Temple last night.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices of the Portia Law Club Mr.
Fairchild was the drawing card. He was
funny, not only because he said he in
tended to be funny, but that the audience
thought he was funny and laughed. His
claims of being hypnotist, however, were
vindicated, though he did not choose to
smile in concert with his hearers.
The Mandolin Club played with skill and
effect and the singing of Mrs. Lewis called
for several encores.
MIR. Fairchild first told his hearers how
he felt when he was an actor and next gave
them lesson in modern oratory.

MnGLINTOOK,S FEAR.
He Thinks That LOOMS Was Threaten
ing Him.


Private Detective McClintock was on the
stand yesterday in the case of Loomis
against Somers. He recited the old tale of
how he was shot at the Russ House by
Loomis, and in the midst of his story
started and insisted that Loomis was
threatening him as he sat in court. His
attorney denied this, however, and the
matter passed.
McClintock also intimated that Loomis'
attorney (Watt) had suggested to him to
leave the country. The suggestion had
been made in saloon, where Watt was
treating" the witness. Watt in cross
examination showed that the words of the
suggestion if made at all were uttered in a
jocular way, and he intimated that the
witness was always 'holding him up" for
small loans.
There was some testimony as to Attor-
ney Hudson encouraging witness to hold
out for $1,000 for the book OF evidence Somers
had asked him to discover, and saying that
if he (McClintock) would help to ''pene-
tentiary'' Somers he (Hudson) would give
him the book free.

THE NEW TAX LAW.
Judge Sanderson Decides 1t in Favor of
the Assessor and 1t Will Be
ADDealed.

Judge Sanderson yesterday rendered a
verdict in favor of Assessor Siebe in the
test case brought against him by Rode &
Co.
This is suit to test the matter of the
collection of personal taxes under the new
law approved last March by the Legisla-
ture. According to this law the Assessor
may demand the amount of taxes on per-
sonal property Immediately on rendering
statement of assessment, and should the
owner refuse or omit to pay, he can author
lie the Sheriff to at once seize the property,
providing that it does not constitute lien
upon realty.
The contention of the Sheriffs attorneys
is that the new law has worked well in the
interior, and only sets San Francisco on
uniform footing with her sister counties.
They also say that taxpayer may after
ward receive back any excess by proving
his grievance before the Board of Equal
ization. The contention of the other side
is to the effect that the law is discrimina-
tive, and does not give the citizen the ben
eft of due process of law. On these
grounds, among others, it is claimed to be
unconstitutional.
The matter will be taken to the Supreme
Court without delay.

alighted, and in single file, headed by the
Chief, walked about the line. AS they
passed each man they glanced sharply at
his uniform to make sure that it was of
regulation material and cut, and two or
three unfortunates whose clothing did not
come up to the requirements were directed
to buy new uniforms.

YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION.

Needs attention at this time. If
you are tired, weak and nervous, it
is G lear that your blood is impure,
and without doubt there has been
too much over-work or strain on
brain and body. The course of
treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified so that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In
telligent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier nerve tonic and strength
imparting medicine is Hoods Sar~
saparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsapar.lla is persistently
taken; in a word, health and happi-
ness follow after taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
