MRS. AUSTIN'S LIEN.
1t Is Established by the Supreme Cour
as Against Bank Mortgage.

One of the most complicated land suits
that could well be imagined has just been
decided by the Supreme Court, the decis-
ion being in favor OF vendors lien as
against mortgage held by bank. The
suit was over ten acres of land in Santa
Clara County, owned eventuallysby Gustav
Pulschen.
The lot in question was owned, so far as
the purposes of the suit was concerned, by
real estate firm, Bruce & Kent. They
sold the lot to Charles Henderson, giving a
bond for deed of the property as soon as

oscillate back again and continue to oscillate

the most result would be only an equilibrium,

Mother Goose.

"Mother Goose's maiden name was
Elizabeth Foster. She was born in
Cbarlestown, Mass, in 1886, and mar
ried Isaac Goose, of Boston, in 1863.
She was his second mate, and began
her material life a step-mother to ten
children. She added six more to that
number. Think of it Is it any Won
der that she poured out her feelings in
the celebrated lines:
'There was an old woman, who lived in shoe
She had so many children she didn't know
what 10 do""
"Yet to her family cares sat lightly
upon her, and she survived Father
Goose man Y years. Still, she stayed
by her nest and led and fed her flock
until they were able to swim by
themselves. One of her daughters
married Thomas Fleet, printer by
trade. with whom she went to live,
and insisted on being q nurse to his
children. and there she lived and sang
from morning until night.
"Up stairs and down stairs.
And in my lady's chamber
"Thomas Fleet sold songs and bal
Iards at his printing office, and one
day happy thought struck him. SO,
while she sat in her arm chair or shut
fled about the house lost in sweet
dreams, he carefully wrote down what
he could of her rymes which fell from
her lips. Soon be had enough to make
a volume. These he now printed and
sold under the titles of Mother Goose
Melodies for Children. It. Fleet, Prin-
ter, Puddinglane, 17l9. Price two cop
pers.' The Rev. J. M. Manning, D.
b., formerly pastor of the Old South
Church, Boston, at festival not many
wears since, spoke very truly, to my
mind, when he said : "Not Homer or
Shakespeare is so sure of immortal
fame as Mother Goose. Considering
the love in which her melodies are
everywhere held, their freedom from
any thing which might corrupt or mis-,
lead the infantile mind, their practical
wisdom, their shrewd mystery and
motives of human conduct, one Is IN
all soberness forced to admit that her
name is among the brig htest of the
Jewels which adorn the brow OF the
Old South. Let US hope that the day
is not far distant when a memorial
statue will be erected to this venerable
lady in one of the parks of squares OF
Boston,"

The pefender-Yigilant Race

NAyEs1NK HIGHLANDS, N. Y, July
20.-There was hardly any air stirring
early this morning. What little there
was came from the southwest, but
later a breeze sprang up and at the
starting hour was blowing from the
southeast at II mile rate. The indi-
cations now are that the race will be
fifteen miles out to sea and back. The
course was outside of Sandy Hook
where the international races of 1898
were sailed and where the trial races
and the final contest with the Valkyrie
III will take place. The New York
Yacht Club offered 5000 silver cup for
to-day's race. Both yachts have been
stripped for the contest like fighters
going into the ring, or rather all fittings
on deck and below rot absolutely nee
essary have been omitted.
The Defender crossed the starting
line at 11:30:25; the Vigilant at II :30:50.
just after crossing, the Defender went
about on the port tack and stood in
toward Jersey shore. The Vigilant
stood on for five minutes and then
tackled to port on the Defenders star
board. The Defender heeled q triAe
more than the Vigilant. When off
Asbury Park the Defender appeared
to be half mile ahead, going like the
wind.
Off the highlands at 2:3O p. m. the yachts
were just coming in sight out of the haze

Holmes, the Murderer.

CHICAGO. July 2O.-New evidence OF
murder was brought to light this
morning in the residence formerly &C.
cupied by 81. II. Holmes, the insur-
ance swindler. Detective Fitzpatrick
this morning discovered in an ash-heap
the charred remains of woman's
high French heeled buttoned shoe and
also piece of gros.grain silk. These
bits of women's clothing are supposed
to have belonged to one of the Will
liams girls. The work of excavation
will be continued under the direction
of Inspector Fitzpatrick. When thor
ough overhauling of the premises once
occupied by Holmes has been made the
house in which Anna Williams dwelt
for while will be searched, and the
officers expect to find there some sub
stsntial proof that she was murdered 10
her own residence. Holmes, it is said,
divided his time about equally between
this house and the one at Wallace and
Sixty-third streets, which is now IN
der investigation.
