ever heard said George A. Knight last
evening. Suppose that there had been
half dozen wills made on different dates,
would Judge Slack begin with the first
and admit it to probate and make those
interested in the later wills contest one at
a time until the last one was reached
VIII we contest the probation of the will
of September ri before that of the 24th
You bet we will; that is, provided Judge
Slack will permit US under the statutes to
bring contest proceedings" he added, sar-
castically.
"Upon what lines will these proceedings
be brought?" was asked.
"On all lines. We will fight them all
along the line from start to finish and will
win our case yet" said Knight, hotly.
eve will begin our fight tomorrow in
earnest and we will give the others all
they want before we are through With
them. There is only one way for them to
shut US off, and that is to throw us out OF
court. The whole matter is very simple
proposition. If the will of the oath is
proved to be spurious, then 1t IS the time
to take up the first. AS it stands we are
not even permitted to show by good evil
dence that the latter will is the very last
that Senator Fair executed. But we VIII
put in our contest to, day and we Will show
that the later will is the one that should
be probated first, if we are permitted.

WANTED IN OAKLAND.
Two Youthful Burglars Arrested on
Market Street.

]. F. Kelly and Emanuel J. Stone were
arrested last night on Market street, near
Powell. by Constable d. Cronin of Alameda
County and Policeman Stills, and taken to
the City Prison, where they were booked
en- ronte to Oakland for burglary.
Neither of them is over Is years Of age.
Stone was employed in store in Oakland,
but was discharged. A few nights after
ward he and Kelly broke into the store
and stole about $50 worth of goods.
When searched at the prison pocket
book, containing about q dozen bank
checks for $50 each, purporting to be signed
and lndorsed by some of the leading bust
ness men in this city, was found upon
Kelly. 1t is supposed they intended to
pass these checks upon storekeepers.
Kelly accused Stone of putting the checks
In his pocket. Stone retorted that Kelly
was wearing his coat and he had found the
checks on the street. They were put in
separate cells SO that they could not con-
coct story regarding the checks. They
will be taken to Oakland this morning.

This got up parliamentary skirmish in
which President Christian Refs got tangled
and during which one member tried to set
people right by announcing that the Pion-
eer society had parliamentary laws of its
own, at which unconscious hit everybody
laughed.
Judge Thompson rose to quiet things
with club, and said: ''It seems to me
that we can settle this matter if we
keep our Senses" and he shook his finger
at the man who was loudly insisting on
his motion. When the skirmish had be-
come chorus of whats the question pr
Question:" and 81 call the ayes and
noes" w. B. Farwell got in a proposition
to put the amendment to a vote without
discussion. As it was foregone conclu-
sion that the amendment would not carry
by the necessary two-thirds vote this was
agreed to by everybody who was aching
to denounce or defend it and the roll was
called.
There were II ayes and 112 noes, and
there was jubilee of feet when the propo-
sition was chased out of camp.
There was hot debate over the adop-
ton of the amendment of section 1 of the
constitution, fixing the fee of life mem
bers at $100 and $40 for contributing
members.
Colonel Won Schmidt protested against
the adoption of the amendment on the
ground that 1t would throw the doors of
the society open to too many young per-
sons, and the old men who had stood by
the society in the past would be discrimin-
ated against.
"When came into this society thirty
five years ago." he said, 81 paid SIS, and
the society has had the use of my money
ever since, and now that we are about to
receive $212, 900 think it wrong that any
person should be admitted to membership
for such a small sum-"
The colonel's argument was to show that
the old members would soon lose their
power and control OF the organization il

II have been a member OF this society
for forty-two years and paid 500 when |
came into it" said Mr.. Farwell, land
there are others who are not now members
who paid 500 to come into this society.
Now you refuse to allow those old mem bers
who have eligible sons to come back. You
have no right to refuse them this privi-
lege. 1t is an outrage
Mr.. Won Schmidt said that the $500
mentioned in Mr.. Farwell's statement was
trihing compared to the Lick gift, and
that if 1000 additional members were ad-
mitted the financial increase would be
small, and that there was not any too
much money in the treasury just now to
carry the old members to the grave.
Mr.. Henriksen said that for the benefit
of the society he thought that new life
should be injected into it and therefore the
young men should be asked to come in.
These old members are dying off at the
rate of from three to eight and ten a
month" he said, "and our aim is to per-
petuate the good work they have begun"
Mr.. King warmly defended the juniors.
He said they were not at all selfish, which
could not be said of the other side. In
numbers there was safety, and he felt that
by bringing the young men into the So
ciety through their fathers becoming
members, the finances would be increased
and old members would be better taken
care of in the declining years of age.
II have never said an unkind or illiberal
word against the pioneers, young or old,
on the floor of this house." said Captain
Swasey, "but feel that it is wrong to ex-
clude the sons of pioneers from this society
and thus force them to join other societies,
which have no connection or kinship with
the pioneers, but which celebrate the days
made famous in the history of California
by the heroism of these grand old men,"
A vote was then taken and the amend
ment was adopted.
The pioneers can be very amiable, and
they often are SO even at their monthly
meetings. They appeared especially so

the juniors were admitted in large num-
bers and made strong plea for the pro-
lection of the old men.
w. B. Farwell took the opposite side.
he said that four years ago Colonel Won
schmidt had succeeded in having his
proposition to have members coming into
the society pay $110 adopted, and that 1T
had excluded many old members who had
been suspended and who by returning to
the society at this time would secure for
their sons the right to membership.

BY THIS WE CONQUER.

The Northern men of means have hereto fore hesitated about investing in the South because of their fear of unwise Legislation and their dread of the ultimate outcome of the trace issue.D This fear has disap- peared, and now it is simply a matter of dollars and cents. An open field and @ fair fight is all that the South asks when 1t comes to winning victories in the indus trial field. Take cotton mills, for instance; there is no question but that the South of fers superior advantages to any other sec- tion. The New England cotton mill men who have personally investigated the ad- vantages of the South have made discov- cries so gratifying that they are slow about making known the extent of their in- quiries, for fear that they will be robbed of the fruit of their investigations by ambi- tious rivals. It was so in the early days of iron making in the Birmingham district. When there was profit of several dollars on every ton and q furnace paid for itself in year the men who were in the secret were slow to give it out. Congressional committees and newspaper editors and manufacturing experts tried to extort the secret from them without success.
 These New England cotton mill investi- gators have found out that they can save in the South S1.10 on every S2.75 worth of cotton goods. That is to say, cotton mill in the South can make goods that much cheaper than mill in New ngland. This looks like a tremendous saving, yet it Is fact and can be relied on, and has been demonstrated by facts and figures. This saving in the cost of manufacture more than equals the profits of the best mills in New England.
 One of the New England mills has issued stock to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars to erect a mill in the South. The company is worth g 1000, ,000, and it guarantees the purchasers of this stock per cent interest for ninety nine years. The capital of S2, ,O0O, 900 is pledged for this guarantee. Such an investment is as safe as government bond and pays double the interest.
 One of the New England mills has a very large trade with China. It will establish a Southern mill for the purpose of supply ing this trade, and will also sell to South American countries. It has demand from it's foreign customers for more than it can supply, and the output of it's South '. ern mill is virtually sold in advance.
 The New England investigators have also discovered that there is big profit in com Inissares in the South, such as they do not enjoy in the North; hence their inclination to keep away from city. They propose to build their own towns around their mills.
 Indeed, these investigators have gone back full of hope of future profits in this land flowing with milk and honey, as the Israelitish spies carried to their hungry brethren the luscious grapes of Eschol.

RENDERED MR.. AND MRS. THOMAS II.
 JOHNSTON BY YOUNG PEOPLE.
 A most enjoyable reception was tendered MT. and Mrs. Thomas H. Johnston last night in the rooms of the First Presby- terian church by the young ladies of the Young Peoples Society of Christian En- deavor. There were present about thirty couples and pleasant evening was spent. The features of the evening were the beau tiful piano solos rendered by Miss Lila Smith and the beautiful songs of MT. Mil ton Stuart of Baltimore, who is spending several days in the city.
 The young ladies left nothing undone that would contribute to the evenings pleasure, and the tribute they pay MT. and Mrs. Johnston Is indeed a high one.
 Mir. Johnston is president of the Young Mems Christian association and superin- tendent of the afternoon Sunday school at the First Presbyterian church and is loved by all who know him, and the young la dies in appreciation of him and his wife rendered to them this reception. After several musical selections were rendered delightful refreshments were served, and the Informal style added to the enjoyment of the evening.

CAPT. ALBERT DREYFUs was born in France of parents of foreign birth. He was not thorougbred Frenchman and this explains in measure his treachery. He took advantage of his position in the army and gave information of the forts and Notifications of France along the German frontier to the German embassy. For this he was fined 50G0 francs and sentenced to imprisonment for life in military fortress. He was also publicly humiliated before tho army. Many of the French people who 80 oevotedly love their couutry contend that the punishment wGs not sufficiently severe, slthough it was ,he extreme limit of the law, and honce bill will be introduced in tbe French chamber to make treachery hereafter punishable by death. For many years Germany has endeavored to keep in- formed as to the preparations for defense of the French and the plan of her forts and Qualifications. Before the Franco Prussian war Gerpan officers were known to dis guise therfselves and hiro out as common workmcn on ntSe forts of France in order to get valuable iNormation, which they transmitted to thV own country.

OUR FARMERS.

MfA w. s. Brown, merchant of this city, who has for years past been furnish- ing supplies to farmers in the country tributary to Birmingham, informs the AaE- HERALD that these farmers are in better condition anef>w need less help than at any time in several years. This. too, in spite of the low prize at which they they were forced to sell theM<cotton. He attributes this condition to tN fact that their credit in 1894 was limited nSaccount of the stringency of the times, ahdekbat they made good corn and other provisMn crops. MT. Brown does not believe thN merchants will be called upon to supply corn to any extent this year, but says not enough meat has been raised to supply home consumption, and again the Western smoke houses will be drawn upon.
 This is an object lesson. It shows that the farmers of this section need only in- crease their acreage of corn and other food crops and decrease their cotton acreage. It has been clearly demonstrated to them that there is no certainty in the cotton market, but that there is peace and plenty, ease, comfort and sound credit in full corn cribs and smoke houses. Now for gen nnine ho ; ard ho,niny campaign.

soUTHERNERs IN NEW YORK.

The Southern men in New York city have made their inf uence felt. Many of them have become very prominent in the business and political life of the metropo- lis. Nearly all of those men went to New York after the war. They have carried there the social feeling, the hospitality, the similarity of taste, the community of aim for which Southerners are distin- guished. Nine of the big New York banks have Southern men for presidents. H. B. Plant, at the head of the great Plant sys- tenn of railways, is Southerner. Dr. James H. Parker is North Carolinian. Deacon White is from North Carolina. John H. Inman was born and raised in East Tennessee. William P. Thompson is a Virginian. Gen. c. M. Sorre was Adju- tant-General of Longstreet's corps and now manages line of steamships that ply between New York and Southern ports. Isidor Nathan and Oscar Straus, public spirited Hebrews, are from Georgia. Alexander R. Chisolm, the confidential aide of Beauregard, has made fortune. Gen. Thomas Jordan of Virginia is editor of the Financial and Mining Record.
 The bench and bar of New York furnish further illustrations of the hustling pro-
  home. Judge Joseph E. Daly of the Court of Common Pleas is a North Carolinian; Roger A. Pryor Is another judge in the same court; William 5. Kelley of Virginia is it's clerk; the district attorney is Col. John R. Fellows of the First Arkansas, and among his assistants are George Cor don Battle and James w. Osborne of North Carolina. In the ranks of lawyers you will find such fine specimens of men as Burton Harrison, once private secretary to President Davis; A. H. H. Dawson, Charles Deshon, Clarence Cary, Robert Harrison, Samuel B. Paul, John R. Ab- ney, Col. E. T. Taliaferro and the Judges Van Wyck.
 The medical profession in the city like. wise affords many notable examples of suc- cessful endeavor, the more to be com mended from the fact that in the majority of instances the physicians have graduated since the war.
 Dr. John A. Wyeth, one of the most ex- pert of surgeons, served as private h the Fourth Alabama cavalry; Dr. J. Harvey Dew, in the Ninth Virginia cavalry; Dr. P. L. Hull, Forty Virginia; Dr. George Tucker Harrison, Twenty fourth Virginia regiment staff; Dr. William H. May, Berkeley Border Guards. Virginia; Dr. R. c. M. Page of Virginia, chief of artillery; Dr. James H. Patton, First Vir- ginia; Dr. J. J. Rivera, Sixth Louisiana; i; Dr. J. H.

SAM FUCKER NOT AN AssAILANT OF MIR.
 DANIEL-HE IS RELEASED.
 ''The wrong man again,' said MT. Ed Daniel yesterday when Sam Fucker, the negro who was arrested Monday, was taken before him, and Fucker was re- leased.
 The negro answered most minutely the description given by MT. Daniel, and it was thought beyond doubt that the right man had been caught, but MT. Daniel says he is nothing like the one who so brutally assaulted him. 2
 The old gentleman is recovering slowly, though is still in critical condition, and it is possible that his wounds may yet prove fatal. He is still suffering great pain and his limbs are still paralyzed, but not so much as at first, and with careful nurs. ing he will most likely pull through.
