Morris, and names her as executrix. i Mrs. Morris is represented by the law firm of Watrous & Buckland The es- l tate of the deceased is estimated at a I quarter of million.

 A WILL TO BE CONTESTED.
 Catherine D. Smith of George street,
 who died about two weeks ago, was believed by her relatives to be penni- l less, and they had all contributed to her support during the last years of | her life. She left a will, however, dis posing of about $6,O0O worth of property and the settlement of the estate is now pending in the probate court. The bulk of the property goes to a brother
 and sister, Warren Shepard and Mrs.
 AveriII of Branford, who are repre-
 sented by Attorney Edmund zacher. 1 There are fourteen nephews and nieces
 who are almost cut off, she having left them just $25 each. She has bank de
 posits of about SS.OOO, mortgage of S1 800 and about $500 in miscellaneous property.
 All of her relatives believe that anoth- CT will Is in existence, and a hunt for it
 is being made high and low. Although
 the brother and sister get most of the
 property under the present will, they
 are anxious to know what the supposed

 WANTED TO PUT HER IN AN AsY-
 HUM.
 An application to have Mary J. oBrien, daughter of the late Colonel James O'Brien of the Forty-eighth Massachusetts Volunteers, placed in the asylum was dismissed yesterday morn ing by Judge Cleaveland. There seems to be some family difficulty between Miss O'Brien and her brother-in-law and her sister, Stanley T. Canning and wife, in which an estate of $15,OOO or $20,OOO in the south plays its part.
 MT. Canning, who was formerly su- perintendent of the BabcoclS oil com pany, in charge of It's local agency, made the application to have his sister, in-law, Miss o'Bnen, committed to the insane asylum. He alleged that she was unfit to be at large, and when she was found last Wednesday night upon the street caused her arrest upon a peremptory warrant from the probate court, to be taken in custody. That night she was taken to the charities building, and the next day was trans ferred to the almshouse, where she has since been held.
 Yesterday morning hearing was held in the probate court, and Miss O'Brien was there alone to represent herself. MT, Canning was represented by Attorney G. A. Tyler.

THE YACHT,

To-day the combined SQuadronS of the
San Francisco yacht clubs will cruise to-
gether around the harbor and adjacent
waters. Who does not love a yacht?
When does not that matchless and i'm
matchable thing of beauty forever and
day appeal to the tender and sentimental
part of ones being? The ship nodded
from noble design, shapely and perfect
in her grand maturity, fit and royal con-
sort of the kingly ocean, passes by in majes-
tic review the fairest and best of human
handiwork. Stand on the shore as she
spreads her pinions of snow and sails
away. One by one the white cloths lift on
high and bow in stately submission to the
winds that watt her on. Never look
or a longing is backward thrown to the
safe harbor she has left, for her great heart
is a-sea.
Night and storm will shut down upon
her, and the darkness and bitterness of
death will encompass her about, but true
to her purpose, true to the artistic mind
that fashioned her and the master hand
that pilots her, she enters the veil on the
horizons verge and is gone.
But the yacht-that dainty shape blow
ing here and there among the big vessels
that come and go in the roadways of com
merce; that thing of the birdlike flight
above the waves, whose love is not drawn
away from all else to follow her in her
bright mystic dance across the water ?
With what coquettishness she tosses up her
exquisite crest to the envious frown of the
black-browed sluggish craft not built as
she-for they all, yacht or ship, are in
tensely female, and the characteristics
feminine sail in them always. They doubt
less would like to crush the fairy fabric
with their great, heavy selves, and would
Joy to know of that tender hull being
ground on the hungry tooth of the reef, or
lost under the mighty heave of the gale
lifted surge. They put their heads-their
figureheads-togsther when the butterfly
of the sea wings by and they find her
dainty lines not in good form.
The prettiness of her is suggestive of an
inordinate and somehow improper desire
to please, and they are not pleased. The
rake OF her masts is unmaidenly, and the
'many flirt and futter'' of her pillows of
white canvas is frivolous and .unseemly. 1t
was not SO when they were young and
fresh from the ways, and they would like
to catch her across their mooring chains
and bring that proud, gaudy pennant low.
A rocky breaker beaten leeshore will get
her some day, and they know it.
Nor does she trim her swelling volume
of cloth to the soft winds of the hill-en-
circled bay. She floats like white, fleecy
cloud, far out at sea, and her light, slim
form audaciously mounts the pillows with
the steadiness of ponderous frigate, or
furls her sail, like the fairy nautilus,
when the fury of the gale burrows the
main. The living creatures of the deep
arise to her. and the sirens of the wave
lift their white hands to her, beckon her
welcome her, the fairest thing of the sea.

AN IOWA IDEA.

1t appears that in commenting upon the
recent disastrous windstorms in Iowa the
Californians have mixed too much advice
with their sympathy to please the people
of the Hawkeye State. Our zeal in remind
ing the Iowans OF the superior advantages
OF California and our urgency in advising
them to come here and be safe have been
irritating to their local patriotism, and as a
consequence, while thankful for our SYM
pathy, they have scoffed at our advice and
not only lifted up their voices to complain
but their feet to kick.
vigorous expression of the disccntent
with our well-meant advice is found in a
recent issue of the Iowa State Register,
where, under the title of California 8
Deadly Dangers" is the declaration that
the unfortunate people, of this State
are daily compelled to suffer from drifting
sandstorms and the constant fear of earth
quakes, which have killed many more peo.
pie in California than have been killed by
windstorms in Iowa, and may and prob
ably will yet slide all of that elongated
commonwealth into the Pacific Ocean,
Truly it is well at times to see ourselves
as others see us. If the performance does
not give us better idea of ourselves. it af.
fords us at any rate clearer and more
abundant comprehension of the knowledge
or the ignorance of the others. This revela-
tion OF the Iowa idea Of California, for ex-
ample, will help US to understand why any.
body continues to live there when he might
come here. People who wake up every
morning in the expectation of reading that
California has been slid off into the ocean
"a 10 or off
storm can hardly be expected to make
their homes with us. We may pity the
ignorance of such folks, but on the basis of
their belief no one can question the sound
ness OF their judgment in staying where
they are.
With such an illustration before us of
Eastern ideas of California, it is clearly our
duty to begin campaign of education on
the subject in order that our fellow.
countrymen beyond the Rockies may have
true conception of our conditions. What
Will it profit US to go on talking of sunshine

OF oranges and vineyards, of balmy climes
and fertile soils, so long as the hearers are
convinced that the whole Elysian land
may suddenly, like a summers girl, step
into the sea and become part and parcel
of the infinite swimP
The Board of Trade, the Half-million
Club, the Chambers of Commerce and all
the trumpet-tongued host of the press
should at once set about making it known
that California is linked to the Union by
bonds irrefrangible, eternally durable and
not to be broken. She holdeth fast to the
everlasting Sierras, rock-ribbed and per-
manent as the earth itself. Her so-called
earthquakes are but the gentle motions by
which she nestles closer into the great
granite lap of the mountains. There is
neither any danger in them nor any shock,
even to Mrs. Grundy. Her sandstorms
are few and rare and confined to narrow
localities. She has no deadly dangers, nor
is there any possibility OF widespread dis
