lie Fair VIII NnntAst

NEW YORK, March S.-A special from
San Francisco to the Tribune says:
The Fair will contest promises 10 fur
nish some sensational surprises ia few
days. One Is that the sisters will have
nothing to do with their brother Charles
in the contest OF their fathers will. and
another is that two of the trustees VIII
neither resign nor permit the sisters TO
have any voice i'm the management OF
their fathers millions. The decision of
Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Birdie Fair not 10
take any hand In the contest Is the re-
suit OF the advice OF lawyers. The latter
fear that close relations between their
clients and brother will bring on their
heads the dislnheriting clause under the
old Roman law. which declares that what
one does through others is done as by
himself. Judged by this law. the sisters,
though giving no open aid TO Charles,
would be guilty OF collision.

The Dickens Wind UP.

1t is curious what a penchant Dickens
had for certain mel0dramatic situations,
which seemed to his fancy SO telling that
he repeated and reproduced them many
times over. He had lively dramatic
turn, and | always thought would have
had extraordinary success as a drama
tlst ! once asked him why he had not
taken up this Zine" seriously. and |
think he made the excuse-it was long
ago. many years before his death-that
he had not time. taste, or patience The
real reason, no doubt. was that he could
not work without expanding, and could
not "carve heads upon cherry-stone.
