TO HAVE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Citizens of Marin County Improve
Their Resorts.

The Citizens of Marin County Improve
Their Resorts.
For the past two years the people of
Mill Valley, Marin County, have been
looking forward to an improvement in the
mode of lighting their city.
Engineers on behalf of the company
controlling Mill Valley have inspected the
sources from which water power could be
derived in order to operate an electric-light
plant, but in every instance have reported
unfavorably upon the undertaking.
Finding that it would be impossible to
secure a plant in Mill Valley at any rea-
sonable cost, the projectors of the enter
prise decided TO look further for succor.
The San Rafael Electric Light Company
was appealed to, and few days ago con-
tract was entered into between that COM
pany and S. B. Cushing of Blithedale, by
which the San Rafael company has
agreed to furnish electricity to Blithedale
and Mill Valley.
The work of construction has already
commenced, and wires are being run from
San Rafael to both Mill Valley and Blithe-
dale, and within two weeks the two towns
will be brilliantly illuminated.
Houses are being wired rapidly to re-
ceive the benefits of this latest achieve
ment.

RACING TO THE ISLANDS,
The Manuel Llaguno After the
Starb uck in a Run for
Sugar.
A STEAMER FOR THE YUKON.
Sailing Of the Geneva for Alaska.
Luck of Captain Killey OF
the Simla.

The American ship Manuel Llaguno
went to sea yesterday, bound for Honolulu
to take on cargo of sugar for New York.
There has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the Llaguno and the Tillie Star
buck since the former vessel arrived in
port. Both vessels had been chartered
prior to arrival to go to Honolulu to take
sugar cargoes to New York.
For many years no sugar has left the
Hawaiian Islands which has not been des-
tined for San Francisco; but this year the
output from the islands was found to be
too great for the California market. The

Judge Seawen devoted almost the whole
of Yesterday to the trial of the case of C. A.
spreckels Jr. against the Oceanic Steam
ship Company. c. A. Spreckels Jr. has
asked for a writ of mandamus to compel
the company to hold its annual meeting.
D. NJ. Delmas of Delmas & Shortridge,
attorneys for the company, read it's an
swer to the complaint and showed that
the company had already held it's annual
meeting on January 81 last, when the
plaintiff, c. A. Spreckels Jr., had no right
to vote, and that since then there has been
no occasion for another meeting. The an

Mr.. Daxter,s Deannnshin.

To the Editor of the Cdtt-SIR: In justice to the
Rev. c. o. Brown-a statement by whom ap-
peared in Saturdays Call would like to
make an explanation. He says: "Mr. Dexter
is a deacon of the First Congregational church,
but he was made one at my request" Now 1t
is possible that one not familiar with Congre-
gational church government might be led to
believe that the pastor had the appointment of
deacons. Such is not the case, however, and
feel sure that DR.. Brown, upon having the
matter called 10 his tention, will be only too
glad to modify the suggestion that l was made
deacon at his request. A Congregational
church is the most democratic of bodies and
most ministers of that denomination are care
full to avoid any suspicion of dictation in
church affairs or the election of church officers

MACKAY's HOUSEKEEPER.
She Receives a Setback at the Hands of
the Supreme Court.

Harriet Schenck Mackay, the house.
keeper of Patrick N. Mackay. deceased, re-
ceived slight setback yesterday at the
hands of the Supreme Court in her suit
with Duncan G. and Robert G. Mackay
The will of Patrick N. Mackay be-
queathed to executors in trust $4,000 to
pay the income thereof to Mrs. Schenck
during her life. Mackay died on April
81, 1893, and in August, 1894 Mrs. Schenck
filed petition, alleging that the estate was
worth over $780, 600 and asking for her leg
acy and interest. The court below ordered
the executors to pay Mrs. Schenck $50
month, as we'll as that due for the period
since Mackay's death at the same rate.
The Supreme Court yesterday held this
order unwarranted as the will expressly
stated that the bequest was to be paid to
trustees, and the effect of this order was
partial or final distribution. All the re-
spondent, Mrs. Schenck, could do was to
petition for distribution of the estate. In
cidentally the court decided that the re-
spondent at the time of distribution would
be entitled to interest. The order ap-
pealed from was reversed.

Attorney Cole for G. A. Spreckels Jr. en-
deavored to show that the directors ICON
trolled" majority of the stock, but this
was negatived and the answer was
amended by the insertion Of denial of
such statement
The matter then went over until Mon
day, when C. A. Spreckels Jr. will be asked
to produce the proxy of G. S. Wheeler,
which he said he attempted to vote at the
meeting of January q, 1895.

the church since.
These words are quoted as from me- made
no remark about Mr.. Straus, but an official of
the church, who stood by during the interview,
did. But he did not say what your reporter
has given. We have no elders in Congre-
gational churches. He said that "Mr Straus
is not now a deacon and has not been for sew

is, believe correct, except that the word idea

FRIDAY ENENlNG F :. 1, 1886
HOW WALES DIMES.

Dinner begins at S:45 p IN. when>tne
Prince of Wales is at Marlborough
House, Lo d n and lasts for one hour
and ten minutes, as His Royal High
ness insists upon rapid service.
This is probably due to the fact that
England's heir is great suf' rer from
dyspepsia, and, partaktngof only fen
DISHES, he wearies if he fingers longer
at the table.
Only four or FIVE footmen and one
butler are permitted 10 enter the dining
room, which is situated some distance
from the kitchen, but large corps OF
assistants stationed there and In Tie
pantries expedite matters.
Gas is used exclusively in the kitch-
en-. There is gas grill, gas roast pit,
gas frames for entree dishes while these
are being decorated. -.
Returning to the dining room, TINS
will be found brilliantly lighted and the
table richly but not overdressed With
silver and flowers. The menu cards are
severely plain, narrowly bordered Wild
gold and ornamented with the royal
crest. They are always printed IN
French, and the courses divided into q
first aud second service.
A cou, le of mutton chops, some
Graham toast, dry and a glass of claret
usually consti utes the P.ince's dinner.
While more tlabore that served to the
Princess of Wales and herfamily If,
comparatively speaking, plain.
Turtle soup is served in silver dish,
bisque of any kind in china plate.
In the next course similar alterna-
ton is noticeable, fillets of trout being
dished on an oval silver entree platter,
while the sJle5 are served on china
plate on bed of rice.
Guests, of course, are supposed TO
partake of only one kind of fish.
Alter this com, the "chaud froids''
and ''co,elettes de volailles." followed
by the launches of venison, saddles OF
Welsh mutton and ribs of beef, all
served on large covered silver dishes.
These joints, after appearing on the ia
BILE for moment, are removed and carv-
ed in the service-room.
Vegetables are served with the
roasts and are served in o deep silver
dish, with three divisions to it, one for
''saute" potatoes, another for cauli-
flower and the third for French beans.
Champagne sorbet is passed TO each
guest after the joints in delicate glasses
made for the purpose, and accompanied
by dainty silver spo on.
The Prince of Wales is great noker
and enjoys pipe as we'll as any man
in the United Kingdom, but after din
ner he always smokes q long cigar, as
black nearly as ink.
This finished, His Royal Highness
frequently stops in at some fashionable
theatre or the opera for the last act.
His entrance is the signal for the per-
Torrance to cease immediately a
singer is in the middle of an aria size
stors-and the band plays God Save
the Queen"
The Prince is very popular at home,
and his almost countless decorations
and titles show the affection of con-
tinental monarchs for the heir of the
throne of England.
The latest title conferred upon His
Royal Highness is that of Colonel of the
Kieff Regiment, to which position he
was recently appointed by the Car of
Russia-N. Y. Morning Journal,

He Runs Il G,ittle Market I1I,nself.
Phil Armour, the Millionaire meat
packer of Chicago, was in Mitchell las.
week with some Of the Milwaukee Off
cials. In strolling around the town he
dropped into one Of the meat markets
but let the Mitchell Mail tell it.
Ralph Kershaw was absorbed in skin
ming hog in his meat market. early in
the morning. A pOrtly man, who seemed
to have no grudge against this vain
world, came in to observe the operation.
A little soft hat Of brown color was car
ried iauntily on the hack of his head,
The bOb-tail coat was of the color of
Chill sauce, while tho trousers, a poem
in cream. were three inches short, expos
ing white socks above the yellow shoes.
A cherry tinted neck-tie nuttered gayly
over the black vest. Kershaw took it all
i'll at glance, never pausing in the pig
skinning process. He took him 10 be a

Because its hog and not a sheep; we

wered Kershaw, as he removed the cpl
dermis from around the tail. The visitor
expressed his opinion against removing
| the hide of any hog, and explained the
process by dermatology, to Kershaw's
growing disgust, who lntimatcd to the
stranger that the animal he was dress

he did. "WhO are you, anyway" asked
Kershaw. Says the stranger: "I'm Phil

An automatic shoe shining machine
is the latest product Of inventive genius.
When you want your boots cleaned, you
sit down on the seat provided and place
YOUR foot through an opening in the cas-
ing onto boot rest. Then you put the
inevitable penny in the slot and an cleo
tro-motor is set in operation, which in
turn actuates five pairs of brushes. The
frame carrying these brushes slowly re-
tates. the brushes passing lengthwise
over each boot in turn. The first pair Of
brushes removes the dirt from the shoes,
the second pair issupplied with backing
by rotating against backing case, and
the three other pairs do the polishing.
1t is hardly probable that the army of
boys who make their living by polishing
shoes will hail the new machine as a
blessing.
