HIS LITTLE ALLOWANCE,
Randolph Simpson Will Have to
Worry Along on $40
a Month.
Judge Seawel1 Says That Men WHO
Cannot Support a Family Should
Not Marry.

Judge Seawell yesterday decided that ii
Randolph Simpson and wife could not get
alongon $40 a month, Randolph would
have to get a move on and earn more than
$45 during that period of time. AS the
matter now stands, the young man is in
receipt of $35 a month from his mother
and $45 every thirty days as a reward for
labor performed.
At the death of Dr. James Simpson, an
estate was left in trust in the hands of
James w. Kerr, for Mrs. Ada Simpson,
she, out of the proceeds, to support her
son, Randolph Simpson, and to educate
him. The latter provision has been
carried out and in obedience to the former
$50 month was allowed the young man.
AS Randolph's tastes are expensive he has
found this amount far too small TO meet
his requirements. To make matters worse,
Randolph, short time ago, took unto
himself a wife; this too, without the
knowledge or consent of his mother.
Even with the added responsibility on
his shoulders the son was refused raise
In his allowance by his remaining parent,
so he brought suit to compel an increase
Judge Seawell, however, declined 10 aid
the young benedick. He took into consid-
Grafton the terms of the trust, which pro-
vide for an increase in allowance only in
case of necessity or sickness, and also the
fact that the wedding was unauthorized
by Mrs. Simpson. Then Randolph's dis
position toward profigacy was a point
against HIM, so his Honor said:
R"While | believe in encouraging young
people to enter the married state, yet l do
not think they should do so unless they
had the means of earning a respectable
living for their families, so [ will sustain
the action of the trustee in the case"

WHERE IT'S COLD.
A Country Where Lighted Candls
Finds 1t Hard to Keep Warm.

A Country Where a Lighted Candle
Finds 1t Hard to Keep Warm.
Cold is merely relative term. The
resident of semi-tropical countries shivers
when the thermometer falls to 80 degrees,
while the Laplander and Eskimo think it
is comfortable at zero.
For real cold, and plenty of it, one must
60 to the polar regions. Think of living
where the mercury goes down to IS de-
grees below zero in the house, in spite oi
the stove. OF course, in such a case, fur
garments are piled on until man looks
ike great bundle of skins.
DR.. Moss, of the polar expedition OF
1876 among other odd things, tells.oi
the effect of cold on wax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was So
degrees below zero; and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when,
looking at his candle, ne discovered that
the flame had all 1t could do to keep
warm.
1t was so cold that the fame could not
melt all the wax of the candle, but was
forced to cut its way down, leaving sort
of skeleton of the candle standing.
There was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, and the result was a beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with a tongue of
yellow flame burning inside it, and send
ing out into the darkness many streaks OF
light-Popular Science News.

RAILWAY CIRCLES.

The Southern Pacific Southern Exten-
siOn-PrOgress on the Valley Road.
Third Nice-President Stubs of the
Southern Pacific Railway Company de-
parted for Los Angeles in his private car
yesterday afternoon. Nothing definite
could be learned concerning the object of
his trip at this time, but it is understood
his visit to the south has to do with the
branch extension in that direction. 1t
may also be pretty accurately inferred that
arrangements are approaching completion
for transferring the bulk of the freight
shipment northward from the eastto the
west side of the bay. When the change is
made the company's ferry saving will ag-
gregate thousands of dollars weekly.
The dangerously erratic elevator cage in
the Southern Pacific building at the
corner of Market and Montgomery streets,
which came so near being converted into
a deathtrap Saturday, was undergoing re-
pairs yesterday. 1t was noticed that
many of the company's employees and
nearly all outsiders who had business in
the upper-hoor offices preferred the heat
and fatigue of the twisting stairways to
the easier but more doubtful means of
ascension. The elevator machinery is to
be thoroughly overhauled and carefully
tested.
The Valley road won another important
right-of-way suit in Merced County last
week and two more of equal importance
are to come up this week. In the latter
cases between three and four suits of
right of way are involved, but an easy
victory or mutually satisfactory COM
promise is anticipated. Construction con-
tinues to progress at the rate of about a
mile and half a day. Encouraging re-
ports are received from the righJ-of- way
agents below Fresno.

IN MEMORY OF DR.. F. v. HOPKINS
Sketch of the Genius and Kindness of
the Physician.

Sketch of the Genius and Kindness of
the Physician.
Dr. Frederick V. Hopkins, the we'll
known physician, died in this City on the
26th of last month"; after brief illness.
He was son of the late Bishop Hopkins
of the Protestant Episcopal church in the
diocese of Vermont and. he was the
brother of the late Rev. John Henry Hop
kins, DID,, the well-known writer on
theological subjects.
/ DR.. Hopkins was the youngest member
in Bishop Hopkins family of thirteen
children, and in common with them he
/ inherited the characteristic gifts and tai
! ents of that remarkable family. Engag-
/ ing in the study of medicine in early life,
! he devoted his later days to scientific re-
! search in the lines of his chosen peofes-
sion, and especially in microscoplcal IN
vestigatio
/ While his skill as a practitioner was
recognized by the medical faculty geneT-
! ally it is as specialist in bacteriology
and the application of the microscope in
! pathological investigations that he VIII
hereafter pe best known; and, indeed, sew
! eral of his Investigations have already

substantial return than the tardy honors
that are too often bestowed on genius in
| obituary or epitaph.
About eight years ago he passed through
a serious illness, which came at the age
wlen financial reverses and the loss of
strength together render the uncertain
! game of life continuous struggle. He
seemed after it no longer able TO hold his
own against unfavorable circumstances,
or to undertake some forms of work that
might offer the opportunity of regaining
/ the former conditions of affairs when the
| days were prosperous and things went
smoothly with him and those depending
on him.
But neither i'll fortune nor the lack of
! physical energy at any time interfered
with his charity toward suffering human
/ ity and the love for his work. In days of
encouragement, as in the time OF success,
he gave his services with cheerfulness,
and the deserving sick and needy did not
ask help of him in vain.
! Many will remember his attentions and
! kindness in the sick room, and none more
/ than those whose circumstances offered no
return for time and labors given but pray
ers and fearful thanks.
/ The grateful remem brance of these are
his best obituary; the love for fallen man
/ exhibited in such deeds, his best epitaph.
/ DR.. Hopkins leaves a widow and five chill
! dren; two children grown, boy of Is and
one OF eight, and little girl OF Is years.

M,NEIL TO BE HELD.
Judge Campbell Will Decide To- Day
What the Charge VIII

Frank Mcneil, painter, charged with
assault to murder, had another inning
before Judge Campbell yesterday.
Mrs. O'Grady in whose saloon on Mary
and Natoma streets the assault took
place, and Minnie 0'Grady, her daughter,
testified that Frank Rankin, the young
man assaulted, did not have hatchet, as
testified to by Mcneil while Isabella
OGrady, a younger, daughter testified
that she saw Mcneil strike Rankin the
last blow with hatchet.
The Judge said he did not believe the
true facts had been brought out, but that
a lot was being kept back. He saw be-
tween the lines that love was the motive
for the attack. They were quarreling
over Minnie 0'Grady and Rankin got the
worst of it.
