on the Trail of TriIby.

Albert Vandam, the author of IAN En-
elIshman In Paris" has been hunting ION
the trail of Trilby'' In Paris, and publishes
the results OF his quests in the December
Forum. Besides giving the true names OF
streets and localities which figure in Du
Mauriers story, and various Information
about them, he has something of especial
interest to say about the susceptibility OF
painters models to hypnotic influences.
1t seems that In their poses, which are often
wearisome, they are apt to bring themselves
as nearly as possible to a state of uncon-
sciousness, and when in that condition
are curiously receptive of the impressions
of another persons will. Mr. Vandam
finds striking facial likeness between
Trilby as Du Maurier has drawn her and
Elise Duval model Of fame in Paris of a
period about twenty-years subsequent to
the Trilby era. The Duval. 1t seems. was
not infrequently hypnotized by mischiey-
GUS art students, and had some unpleasant
experiences in consequence. Mr.. Vandam
cannot get rid of the idea that there is a
connection between TrIlby and her. not
withstanding the disparity Of dates

Superstition in Bohemia has claimed an

at Pisek, in Bohemia, q marriage was about
to be solcmnized between Anna Rosiin,
aged nineteen, and q youth OF her choice.
Bride and bridegroom stood already before

the priest could unite the bridal pair one OF
the tapers became suddenly eAtinSuished-
A loud shrek came from the bride, and she
gasped, "Meine KerZe ist erloschen' tmy

into the arms of the bridegroom. lmme'
diately all attention was turned to the con-
dition of the bride. Several attempts were
made to revive the poor girl, but iD vain.
The bride, in her chapiet and veil, died at
the altar rails.
The superstition of the villages OF the
plain is, that II lighted taper becomes

ASSAlLS MAGUIRE.
Mr.. Daggett Says the Charges Are
Untrue and MIR. Mcguire Is
Mad

Superintendent Daggett of the Mint was
interviewed by CALL reporter yesterday
with reference to the charges made against
him by Congressman Mcguire.
Up to the present time Mr.. Daggett says
he has received no official notification
from the department at Washington that
any charges have been prepared.
"And that being the case," continued
Mr.. Daggett, ~ cannot think of making
any statement relative to the official char
acter of the complaint as flashed to us
over the wires. In fact, it would be dis
courteous to the department to discuss
matters of which I have had no official
knowledge. You can say, however, put
ting it on purely personal ground as be-
tween Congressman Mcguire and myself,
that the charges are lies. They are abso-
lutely false in every particular and detail.

Gus investigation. Moreover, want that
investigation public. There is nothing to

of the charges, but I must say the con-
duct imputed to me in that dispatch is
absurd. Any one, it seems to me, with
| half an eye must see that an obvious ami

the man who preferred those charges is

patronage instead of principle. Why, as

court, sitting in bank this time, found for
the defendants. Its decision was twofold.
That is to say, the decision overruled the
judgment anu order of the lower court as
to the defendant Mclean and sent the case
back for trial. AS to Robinsons appeal,
that was taken under advisement.
Meantime Schultz & Won Bargen had
failed utterly and the case was carried on
by the money lenders for the benefit of
their creditors. Won Bargen grew despond-
ent and tried to commit suicide. He threw
himself into the bay one afternoon, but
was pulled out. He took no further inter-
est in the case and had nothing at stake,
no matter what the final verdict might
have been.
The third time the case was tried in the
Superior Court of San Luis Obispo-Judge
Williams of Ventura County-seven feet
high and $40 pounds big, and as deter
mined and as straightforward and con-
scientious as he is high and big-tried the
case in place of Judge Gregg. who was dis
qualified by reason of having been one of
McLean's attorneys before his election to
the bench.
In order to have the case tried without
delay the plaintiffs confessed error as re-
CARDS the appeal of Robinson in the Su-
preme Court. Then they applied for q
change of venue to Santa Barbara County.
Judge Gregg heard this motion and was
disposed to grant it because of his own dis
qualification. He did grant it and made
the order Of transfer. Then Robinson
came in and claimed the change of venue
illegal, because he had not Joined in it and
Is On
showing Judge Gregg reversed himself and
set the case for trial in that county before
the big Ventura Judge.
Plaintiffs then applied for jury. Judge
Williams denied this. He refused them
further continuances and the case was
heard and submitted to him-that is, so
far as Mclean was concerned. Robinson
and Mclean had both demurred to the
complaint, but upon the demurrer being
overruled Robinson declined to make fur
ther answer.
Judge Williams decided the case for Nc
Lean, holding that there had been no
shadow of fraud in the matter on the part
of the defendants and that Mclean was
the owner in fee simple of the Carissa
Plains acres.
This time the plaintiffs became the ap-
pellants. They went to the Supreme Court
on the ground that Judge Gregg having
originally granted a change of venue the
trial before Judge Williams was invalid.
w. F. Herrin was added to the attorneys
for Mclean in this last proceeding and D..
II. Wettemore and William M. Pierson
now appeared for Schultz & Won Bargen-
neither of whom had the slightest interest
at this time in the outcome of the case.
1t is said that gentleman named Loupe
of this City has been supplying the funds
for the plaintiffs for the last five or six
years. He has lost a pretty penny, all
told, whether that be his name or not,
while George d. Mclean considers that he
has paid a fancy price for those Carissa
acres.

The Question Asked: Is AL

tion-PrOof2
SOME FRoNT-sTREET OPINIONS
He Has Decided No Less Than Fifty.
Six Pieces OF Property to
Various People.

Is Alvinza Hayward. the mining mag
nate, execution-proof
That is the question which at present
seems to be annoying the stockholders in
the Hale & Norcross mine.
If rumor can be believed he has asserted
on several occasions that he would never
pay dollar of the Hayward share of the
$4,000 judgment rendered by the Supe-
rior Court and sustained by the Supreme
Court.
He has taken steps which would be rea-
sonable grounds for believing that he pro-
poses to carry out his threat. Since May,
1898. he has decided no less than fifty-six
different pieces of property to various in
dividuals. The consideration named is
in most instances but $40, but many pieces
are valued at several thousand dollars.
They are located in Horner's Addition, the
Western Addition and north of Golden
Gate Park. Their aggregate value is about
$500, 900.
Aside for these small deeds, executed
for consideration of $40, there are several
mortgages, one of which, covering the
Strathmore House, reads:
Alvinza and Charity Hayward to Hibernia
SdfluSo LOdu SOClebyt august "a, 1893,
northwest corner of Fulton and Larkin streets.
120 by 412 IS, one year, at 619 per cent; $14o,-
600.
There is also an assignment of mortgage
by Alvinza Hayward to the California
Bank for $4,000. Many other deeds ranging
for $4,000 to $1,000 are on record, and the
entire amount realized is in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50, 600.
All of these things are causing the inter-
ested stockholders to wonder what the
eccentric Mr.. Hayward will do next in
order to get his property beyond the IRON
hand of the. judgment.
1t is true, as great many admit, that
the sum of $350,000 is but small portion
of Mr.. Hayward's immense fortune, but
it is, nevertheless, causing great many
people to wonder what it all means.
Is the owner of the famous Utica mine
hard up, or is he going out of the real
estate investment business2 Were it rot
for the fact that the millionaire is inter
ested in great many matters that concern
the public generally, probably no one
would pay much attention to his method
OF disposing of his property in any way
that seems to suit him best, nor would
they object to him giving it away if the
notion struck him.

FAREWELL TO FRIENDS.
Unique Gathering at the Girls Training
Home.


There was touching and somewhat
unique gathering at the Girls Training
Home, at 26 Hill street, last evening. The
occasion was a farewell to the retiring
matron, Miss L. H. Baker Some of the
friends of the institution were present,
among them Mrs. Rosa NJ. French and
Mrs. Gilley of the board of managers.
The evening was spent in singing and
games and the inmates were cheerful un-
der the influence of the recreation, but
there were many tears when the farewells
were said, for all are deeply attached to
the noble matron and her capable assist
ant, Miss Mayme Holcombe, who will also
leave for the East on Monday evening.
Both ladies will engage in slum work in
the East Miss Baker will reside for the
present at Atlantic Highlands, N. J.. and
Miss Holcombe at Louisville, KY. Mrs.
L. b. Fisher will succeed Miss Baker in
the charge of the home.

agreement from Mclean and the Supreme
Court has decided that Mclean never even
agreed to make one.
But the first jury that tried the case
gave verdict for the plaintiffs and Judge
D. S. Gregory of San Luis Obispo wrote
his findings to conform with the verdict of
the jury. In this trial Robinson appeared
as his own attorney and Attorneys Adams,
V. A. Gregg and John T. Humphries ap-
peared for Mclean. Van Ness, Way
mire, Haggin and Dibble represented
Schultz e. Won Bargen.
An appeal was taken and the late Judge
J. ?. Hoge and John CARRIER argued the
merits of technical point before the Su-
preme Court. Upon this technicality the
defendant and appellants won and the
case was sent back for another trial.
In.the second complaint the charges of
fraud and conspiracy were intensified and
the personal feeling of the attorneys and
contestants ran high. The case was tried
before Judge James F. Green of Hollister
and jury in 1889 at San Luis Again the
verdict was for the plaintiffs. Schultz
swore so well that the jury believed him.
Again an appeal was taken, and again
the higher court reversed the lower court,
but this time the Supreme Court ruled on
the merits of the case instead of a techni-
cality and decided that there was abso-
iutely no proof of fraud. Judge McKjnstry
and Attorney Van Ness argued for the re-
spondents, and Delmas and Osmond for
the plaintiffs. Judge Fox wrote the de-
cision of the court the day before he went
out of Office.
On technicality the plaintiffs and re-
spondents secured rehearing of the case
before the Supreme Court. but again the
