Paderewski had not run across another
long haired musician of his own variety
since he came West until Monday; then
Martin P. Marsick stepped off the train
and Paderewskl almost fell on his neck
and wept for Joy. The two have been

that Paderewski was in San Francisco he
stepped on board the next train San Fran

that usually follow in the wake of musical
stars
1t took him longer than he expected to
get out here, but he was cheered py the
knowledge that he had wired his beloved
Paderewski of his advent, and he did not
believe that the Polish pianist would
depart, leaving him to face the far West

PLEADED mot GUILTY,
Peculiar Status of the Higgins Case-I
1t Criminal or Civil
Actinn

The case of the People against Higgins
has assumed peculiar aspect. 1t is a
civil action, but it has all the characteristics
OF criminal action. A plea of mot
guilty" has been entered by Higgins, and
the prosecution has objected. They say
mot guilty" is no answer, and they asked
for judgment in default of other answer.
They have appealed from denial OF this
request for judgment.
Henry Gesford, under the guise of the
People, is suing to have M. r. Higgins
ousted from his position as Insurance
Commissioner, the charge being that while
in office he accepted a pass from the rail-
road company. Judge Sanderson, before
whom the case is pending, has permitted
Higgins to enter plea of mot guilty. to
this accus alton. and his Honor deems this
sufficient answer to the com plant.
Garret McEnerney, counsel for Ges-
ford, claims that this is no answer; that
Higgins must file written answer to the
complaint against him, and SO, after OBJ
tanning a default from the County Clerk,
he has asked for Judgment in his favor
on the ground that no answer has been
filed within the statutory time.
Judge Sanderson refused to render judg-
ment, and McEnerney is now preparing an
appeal from this denial. The appeal is in
the form of an application for writ of
mandamus compelling Judge Sanderson
to render judgment as prayed for.
Gesford was appointed to the position of
budd. Higgins, Markham's appointee,
held the office and refused to surrender,

The Aspirant for Superintendent
of Schools in a New
Role.
AGENT OF THE VALLEY ROAD
Contract Let For the Merced River
Bridge Which Will Be Over Half
Mile Long.

Charles Sumner Young, who had aspira.
tions for the office OF Superintendent of
Schools in San Francisco, has virtually
abandoned his contest for that position.
In Youngs case the wind has been tenn
pered to the shorn lamb, for although dis
appointed in his ambition to direct the
city's schools, Young has received an ap-
pointment equally remunerative.
Monday last he was appointed right.of-
way agent of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railway. Before leaving
for the valley he told friend that the
salary attached to the position was $3.50 q
month, and IN addition to that all his ex-
penses were to have been paid. The in
come from the chief position in the San
Francisco School Department is practically
an equivalent of that arrangement, only,
perhaps, it carries with it prominence
and dignity which many men would like
to possess.
Young went into legal fight with Su-
perintendent Babcock for the Office OF
School Superintendent. The case was
laid before Judge Trout. who decided that
Youngs appointment was not legal, and
forthwith an appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court against the decision favor
able to Babcock. The decision is still
pending in the higher court. In the mean
time Young looked around him for another
field OF work, and was fortunate enough TO
find the position with the Valley road.
The rlght-of-way agent has a large share
OF responsibility upon his shoulders, as his
management of the various questions that
arise in the course of securing rights OF
way means great deal to the company.
Young has spent years at the real estate
business, and 1t is said by his friends that
he is peculiarly equipped to carry on the
work he has undertaken. He is aire ady
pursuing the duties of his Office down the
valley.
The directors of the road met yesterday
in this City and awarded contract for the
building of the Merced River bridge to
Cotton Bros.
! This bridge will be about half mile in
length and forty feet in height above the
! water. Most of it will be trestle work, as
| the river is bordered with bottom lands
| that overflow in winter. There will be
| three spans over the river proper, each 125
| feet long. The spans will be composed of
wooden trusses bound with iron, and will
rest upon piers of piling. Chief Engineer
Storey estimates that the cost of construct
| ion will be between $4,000 and $50, 900.
Subscriptions on the fifth assessment
have been coming into the company s
| treasury quite satisfactorily, as already
100000 has been collected on this one
assessment alone.

When asked whether he considered the

this young man shall play the second
violin in the etudes.' You know they are
written for two violins, and that night at
the solree played the second part from

Wleniawski had only Just finished COM

that at the end of the soiree he embraced

Monsieur Marsick is the very opposite of
his dreamy idealistic friend Paderewski.
He is SO volatile that he might be wound
up with perpetual motion. When he PLAYS
1t is with his whole body. He talks like a
Neapolitan, with gestures almost as many
as the motions of his tongue, and he
prances about his room with almost in
fantile friskiness. Marsick is never far
from his beloved violin, for of course, like
all great players, he has fiddle which he
values more than anything else on earth,
except his musical reputation. So much
does he love this dear yiol that he never
considers his picture complete unless it is
photographed with him. Even the sug-
gestion that it makes him look like the
frontlspiece of a manual on "How to Hold
the Violin" has not proved efficacious in
persuading him to pose without it.
The Belgian violinist has already taken
unto himself an accompanist of local fame,
and he and Paderewski are reveliug in
duos in which Wieniawski and kuben-
stein used to shine. Their concert on Sun
day will be remarkable event, as Pade-

he crossed the continent without even an
