WHEN WOMAN is NOT GRACEFUL


Conditions Under Whls, She Manages to
Look a bsarG.
Why is it that, Notwithstanding the
worship accorded &, woman in the alb
stracb, she generally manages to look
absurd under conditions wherein men
try to keep their dignity? Is it stereo-
typed convention which hampers our
Judgments, or are these things really
facts? Fer instance, there is nothing re-
markable in an old gentleman crossing
a street or even walking in gale OF
wind, but place all elderly woman,
somewhat portly, in the same situation,
and the result is a caricature. Her pet
ticoats outline her shape absurdly, a
vast e1panse Of stocking fills doubt
ful gap, and her feet seem to straggle
helplessly.
Few women can enter a carriage
mount the steps Of a coach or hurry in
to a hanson gracefully, while the spec
tacle OF a woman getting into a boat is
tar from pleasing. A stout lady on a BIZ
cycle gives fair cause for ridicule, and
yet fat people dance far more lightly
and buoyantly than thin people. The
slimmest girl cannot run prettily, and
as for football, we have seen the re-
suits.
But, to leave the sphere Of athletics,
dowager in a low dress is far from
pleasing, while the multiplicity Of OBJ
jects carried by a woman when out shop
ping seems to hamper and render her
movements awkward She has none of
the convenient pockets affected by men,
she is always seeking for her pocket
handkerchief Or struggling to extract
her purse from the black folds Of her
gown, or bUrdened with an umbrella,
q parcel, a satchel or with her dress it,
self. On a journey she is hot and fus-
tered and in a hurry and numbered
with many cares, while a man drops
easily into his seat, nnfolds his paper
and smokes OR thinks, impervious to
fate. A woman is only really graceful
when she is at rest, lolling in carriage
or sitting IN a drawing room or else
dancing, when she has the genius for it.

theological schools get more gifts Of

indeed that the young men they train
ought speedily to convert all the bad

MEDICAL COUNTERFEITER
An Investigation Which Led to the
Arrest of the Guilty Pnrties.

A combination formed for the purpose Of
counterfeiting the remedies made by the
Munyon Homeopathic Remedy Company
has at last been unearthed by Prof Nun
yon. For more than year he has been sat
isfied that his goods were being juggled
with ir some fraudulent manner Sus-
pected employees were discharged and ev-
cry measure taken to detect the culprits
but it was not until the last month that he
was able to lay his hands upon the persons
whom he charges with being the chief con-
spirators. These proved to be a former
employe and man who has been working
for more than a year in conjunction with
dishonest employees of the Munyon Com
pany. They are now in prison. Goods
labels and material were surreptitiously
taken from the Munyon laboratory pellets
were bought by the barrel, a little alcohol
was poured upon them, and they were
placed upon the market as the genuine
Munyon remedies. Fortunately, the Mum
yon Company had taken precaution to have
the metal cap which covers their Walls
stamped with the words Munyon's Ho-
letters could not initiate, on account of the
great expense and the unwillingness Of
honest mechanics to make a counterfeit
die. AS soon as the fraud was discovered
the Munyon Company dispatched repre-
sentatives throughout the country and
gathered in all the spurious goods
One of the men arrested claims that he
was induced to go into the business by
finding out how rapidly the Munyon rem
edies sold. 1t is claimed that one dealer
bought over $1,000 worth of these imitation
goods.

Sequence of the Trial.

Some surprise las been expressed by
those who have Lot followed the prelimi-
nalies Of the case at the order which has
caveators of a will made the plaintiffs
and the caveGtees the defendants, but this
is an unusual case in every way. The fact
that the cGveatees,or those who are named
as the beneficia ries in the document whose
validity is in question. submitted their
prima facie case first wa; the result of the
judges decision that they should be re-
garded as the plaintiffs This was because
Of the length of time which elapsed after
the death of Judge Holt Lefore the appear
anCe of the will. The heirs-at-law had Sc
cured letters of administration and some
$1,000 had been distributed among them
before the burnt and fIayed document
which purports to be the last will and
testament of the late Judge Holt dropped
into the registers office as if from the
clouds. In framing the issues, consequent
ly the raveatees were made the plaintiffs,
Directing to any further distribution, etc.
In the trial so far each side has one
skirmish The Caveatees, after a warm
contest, secured the admission of the will
in evidence. When they had made out q
prima fCie case by the Identification of
the handwriting they closed, and whatever
additional evidence they may have in sup
port of the validity of the document will
be submitted in rebuttaL The caveators

evidence based on the literary value of the
contents of the will was competent This
gives the feirs-at-law an excellent opening
by which to introduce testimony showing
that Judge Holt would in all proba bility
never rave written such a paper.

FIRST WEEK OF THE TRIAL
Progress Made in the Fight Over the Holt
Will
Each Side Has Won One Skirmish-
Likely to Last for
Some Time.

Yesterday afternoon when Col Hosmer
had completed his testimony the Holt will
case adjourned over till Monday morning.
A full week has now been consumed In
taking testimony and at the rate the case
has progressed no one would be in the
least surprised if it should run along for
the next two weeks. Every effort has been
made. however, to keep out all testimony
that is not absolutely germane to the
points at issue, and while there have al
ready been number of lively tits be-
tween the lawyers. they developed only
over matters that are extremely important.
The case has attracted crowds of spec
tators every day, a noticeable feature be
ing the large attendance of members of the
bar, who are attracted by the interesting
legal points which come up regularly
every few minutes. Again and again the
statement has been made in court that for
many Of these points there are no prece-
dents in the books, and that they are
traversing new territory all the time.
Will cases alwsys have deep interest
Tor the public generally. bus 1t would seem
as though there never was a case that was
surrounded by many mysterious fea-
lures as this. Every one is anxious to
know whether any solution Is to be offered
for the most unusual of these, nOticeably
the question where the will was during
the time following Judge Hollis death, and
how it finally came into the Office of the
register of wills. Each day Of the trial has
developed something new, and even the
character of the witnesses on both sides
has had it's share in attracting attention to
the case. The social and official position
occupied by Judge Holt. of course brought
him into intimate connection with people
OF prominence generation ago, and many
of those who are still living have been
brought into the case to give their opin-
ions to the genuineness or fraudulency
OF the alleged will. So far there have been
no expert WITNESSES on the stand, but when
that stage of the trial is reached there is
no telling how long it may continue. Up
to the present time the caveateeS have con-
fined themselves to testimony in support
or the will, and the caveators have attack
cd 1T on the ground of forgery, claiming
that the handwriting can be proved fraud
u,ent while the character and style of the
contents are such could never have been
produced by man of Judge Hollis literary
and legal attainmentS

OAKLAND'S LIGHT IS o. K.
Company Has no Idea Of Selling. Transferring
or Busting Up

Oakland. Nov. 16.-(SpeciaD.-For some
time past there has been more or less
talk about town regarding the condition
of the affairs of the Oakland Electric
Light Co. 1t has been said that the COM
pany was going to sell. to transfer. to
bust up" or do some other horrid thing
that would leave the town in darkness.
The Journal started out on a tour of in
vestigation. today. and got as far as the
office of J. Wesley Gilman. the president
of the afore- mentioned Light Co. and IL
was not necessary to go beyond.
Are you connected with the Electric
Light Co. % was asked.
Il am its president.
Are you going TO sell out or transfer
the plant to anybody?'
No. sir. we are not. We see no reason
why we should. The way of it is thus:
We owe about $4,000 of which we pay
from $500 to 800 year. This is slow
work and it will take quite a long time.
as you can see yourself. to discharge the
entire debt. We don't charge enough for
the lights now to make much of any
out or transferring. there is nothing in
any such report.
Looking around town for an hour. the
Journal learned that the company is
made up of men, each of whom could
lose an amount equal to the company $
debt without worrying over it, any more
than he would over the loss CT a good
pipe. The company is evidently getting
on swimmingly, making the receipts pay
the running expenses and a good sum on
the debt each year, and that is much
more than some concerns have been do
ing in the past four years. Oakland will
continue to walk in the light

New York, Nov. 16.-The Cubans in

campaign Gen. Weyler is waging
against Gen. Maceo. All think a crisis
in the revolution has arrived, and
should Gen. Weyler suffer defeat and
be compelled to return to Havana, the
war would soon terminate.
About the probability of a war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
Senior Julio de Castro of the Cuban
revolutionary party. said, today, to- a
reporter of the United Associated
Presses
Il believe Spain will attempt to pre-
cipitate a war with this country, be-
cause her own government at home is
threatened.
IF Spain loses Cuba without the in
tervention of the United States. it is
certain that Carlists in Spain will rise.
and as they number about 100000, the
result will be an overthrow of the pre-
sent government and the accession to
the throne of Don Carlos, who is now
in Paris. waiting for just such a move.
The Spanish officials realize this
danger. and the only way out of the
difficulty is to engage i'm war with
this country, which will give them an
excuse for losing the island, as they
surely must in such war"
