NJ D, BORUCK DIED POOR
The Well-KnoWn Journalist
Left Nothing but Personal
Property.
His Widow the Sole Legatee-No
Provision for the Son and
Daughter.

Marcus D. Boruck, the well-known jour-
nalist and politician, died comparatively
poor.
His estate consists chiefly of household
furniture and an interest in the Spirit of
the Times. According to the terms of the
will, all of which he died possessed is left
to the widow Internationally. There was
nothing for the son and daughter.
During his lifetime Marcus d. Boruck
was supposed to be worth several thousand
dollars, but those who knew him best and
were acquainted with his openhanded lib
erality will not be surprised to learn that
he had so little.
AS Mrs. Boruck remarked yesterday, he
always had his hand in his pocket for
other people, and gave too little thought
to lis own financial interests. Mrs. Boruck
has not yet filed the will for probate, and
NAV not do so for several days.
"As everything is left to me-" she said,
81 do not see any necessity for haste in
the matter. He always told me that
everything in the house belonged to me,
and the will, which is the essence OF SIM
plicity in its provisions, could not have
been different. Of course, l am sorry he
did not leave more, but his estate stands
as monument to his benevolence and
liberality."
The family residence is handsomely and
richly furnished, and the numerous small
items in the way of personal property will
bring the value Of the estate up to few
thousand dollars.

FIRE SUFFERERS.
The Old French Hospital Rented for a
Refuge for Victims of the
CONFEDERATION,

Mrs. H. Nelson paid Sylvan WE'LL, presi-
dent of the French Mutual Benevolent So
cietv, SIS yesterday for the use of the old
French Hospital for one month. She pur-
poses opening it as refuge for the suffer-
ers from the fire.
Mrs. Nelson is trained nurse living at
$50 Geary street. She is buxom middle
aged English woman, who has seen years of
service at st. Georges and Shakespeare
hospitals, London. She was engaged in
nursing in New York for several years be-
fore coming to San Francisco, where she
has lived for seven years.
She has a sympathetic nature and be-
heves in practical religion. She is men,
Der of the Institute of Applied Christianity
and is deeply interested in Henry Varley's
teachings. She has long hoped to be able
to open home for the purpose of reclaim
ing fallen women, and still has that object
in view, but she considered the needs OF
the victims OF the fire pressing, and thought
prompt action necessary for their relief.
Accordingly she collected the joint earn
ings of herself and husband, the janitor of
the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, borrowed $40 to make up the $75, and
secured the building on Bryant street for a
month. To-day placard on the gate will
request dona tons of furniture and pro-
visions. If the donations are not liberal
enough to keep the institution going tickets
will be issued to the various charitable
organizations, which will be sold at low
prices and entitie the holder to lodging
and a cup of coffee. There will also be free
baths

where the sand is tinged with red, and
where the sand is grayish in tone the
sag ebrush becomes more subdued in tint.
The painter, when asked whether he had
any illustrations of his theories about the
California sand, admitted that all his sum-
mer canvases were devoted TO that subject.
THAT was taken over in Alameda, where
the sand is white" he said, placing can
vas on the easel that represented hillock
sparsely covered with sagebrush, where
the sand between the vegetation had al
most silvery hue. The sky overhead was
cloudless blue, and in the strong light
the sagebrush was of fairly vivid green
tint, casting shadows tinged with purple
on the sand. The picture was keyed by
little figure of girl in blue waist.
do you notice the difference in the
sand and brush?'' asked Joullin, placing
another canvas below the first. ''That one
is taken near the park, where the sand has
a yellowish tint. Nearer the ocean it be-
comes almost red. But just as the sand
varies the color of the brush varies with it,
making the same perfect harmonies." The
second picture was another successful
color study of sand and brush and sky,
but the sand was yellow, and the brush
had none of the vivid greens of the first
picture, but instead was overcast with
gray, that partook in places OF almost a
blush tint.

contrasts, like the two preceding pictures,

studies in the despised sand-dunes.
CHANGING round his studio it was impos-
sible to help agreeing with him that the
California sand is we'll worth an artists
devotion, for there were over half dozen
sand studies and each was as diverse from
the other as if they had all been taken in
different parts of the world.
One was a dainty water.color sketch of
gray sand and marsh near Mare Island,
another picture of the yellow sands and
vivid blue sky of Santa Barbara and third

should take his own life. About two years
ago he was troubled by some debts but he
expected to get over that difficulty and
was not worrying. She never had seen
him more cheerful, and was Mortified to
find him dead about P. NJ. The lava tip
was off the burner and the gas was turned
on. She had been in the habit of taking
the lava tip off in order to heat things or
do light cooking over the jet.
DR.. A. Newman said he had been treat
ing the deceased for some time for fainting
spells. He was also subject to dizzy spells,
humping in the head and palpitation of
the heart. When the doctor last saw his
patient the latter was cheerful, though
suffering from these ailments. He advised
him to go home and go to bed and get
some bromide of potassium. That was all
the evidence and the case went to the jury.

BLACK CROOK IN COURT.
Rival Managers Fighting Over
the Right to Produce
the Play.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOR.
A ,Decislon Cited In Which 1t Was
Held That 1t Could Not Be
Copyrighted.

Manager Leonard Grover, representing
the "Black Crook" company, and Manager
Percy Hunting, as the representative of
the ''Black Crook Up to Date" company,
were in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday. The plaintiff claims that the
defendant is infringing the copyright OF
his play and wants a perpetual injunction
served.
When the case was called before Judge
McKenna the attorney for the defense re-
marked that the matter was not properly
before the court, as the papers in the case
had been served by the City Marshal OF
Santa Rosa and not by United States Mar
shall Baldwin. This astonished the Judge
and he asked who had authorized such
proceeding. Receiving no answer he or
dered the motion for an injunction set
aside and instructed the attorney for
Grover to obtain the necessary order in a
legal manner.
The rebuke and the fact that the case was
thrown out of court made Growers attor-
ney very angry and he stated afterward
that the serving of the papers by the City
Marshal of Santa Rosa was owing to an
agreement entered into by both sides to
save expense. When the attorneys saw
that the Judge was angry they put their
n6duS tORCJuCI dSlCOd ~ WdAfO
all technicalities and argue the case.
Judge McKenna finally consented and the
argument began.
The attorney for Hunting held that
1.-THE Black Crook was spectacular pro-
duction and as such was not entitled to
copyright privileges. In support of his
contention he cited the case of Thomas
Mcguire VS.. Julian Martinetti, decided by
United States Circuit Judge Deadly in 1868.
The plaintiff in those days owned "The
Black Crook privileges under an agree
ment with Marras, the writer of the play.
The defendant owned a play called THE
Black Rock, " which Mcguire claimed was
a copy of 1.-The Black Crook" Martinettl
responded by suing Mcguire for an in
fringement of his play, and so the matter
stood when Judge Deadly was called upon
to decide the matter.
His Honor held that neither party was
entitled to an injunction. as both the plays
were only "a grouping of women in scant
attire" and that the different spectacles
were only strung together by means OF
brief dialogue. He also held that the copy
Fighting of such plays was against public
policy and that he would dismiss the COM
plant and cross complaint.
The Grover people were taken aback by
this decision and they asked for time until
next Tuesday in which to answer 1t.
Judge McKenna granted the time asked
for, but at the same time said that there
was no use in coming into court unless
they were fully able to answer the decision
in the case of Mcguire VS.. Martinetti.

PHILBROOK'S MOTIONS.
The Supreme Court Denies Them, and
in Doing So Practically Ends
the Case.

The Supreme Court has destroyed the
last chance which Horace w. Philbrook
had to regain permission TO practice law
before his three years sentence of legal
silence is completed. Soon after the rem
dering of the judgment in January, 1885,
Philbrook moved to vacate the judgment
and for a rehearing, while at the same
time there was pending motion for new
trial. All these irons have been suddenly
withdrawn from the fire by the courts de-
cision, however, for in deny ing one the
court denies them all.
In rendering its decision the mind of the
Justices of the Supreme Court is expressed
in the following paragraph, which con-
Guides the opinion:
AS it would serve no useful purpose, it would
seem to follow either that the application for a
rehearing could not be heard or motion for
new trial would not be. 1t would be preposter-
Gus to expect that a motion for new trial
would prevail after an application for rehear-
ing has been denied upon consideration of
the same points which were presented by the
motion for new trial.
Justice Harrison did not participate in
the opinion, fact which is expressly
stated in the document. It was for his
criticism OF Harrison particularly that
Philbrook was disbarred.

OUT OF THE COMPACT.
The Chicago and Alton Company's
Agent Denied Privileges Enjoyed
by Other Members.

The Railway Passenger Ticket Agents
Association met yesterday in the Mills
building and took prompt action on the
resignation of the Chicago and Alton Com
pany's agent. And now one Office is out

ing the privilege of buying Southern Paci-
fic blank tickets. which means that it is
practically cut off from transacting trans
continental passenger business in competi
ton with the other offices.
The association decided to expel the
Chicago and Alton agent. He asked to be
allowed to leave his deposit of 500 in the
treasury of the compact so that he might
be able to purchase blank tickets from the
Southern Pacific Company. But the ticket
men would hear of no such proposition.
They claimed that if an agent would not
