The Fair viii Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 16.-A tre-
mendous sensatiCn in connection
with Tic Fair will controversy was
caused this morning by Attorney
Delmas, acting for Mrs. Craven. the
alleged contract widow of James G..
Fair, and for Mark Levingston, NAM
ed as executor Of the the so.calletl
pencil will. Delmas. on behalf of
these parties, Withdrew the pencil
viii which he had offered for probate.
This, it is believed, practically ends
the litigation, which bids fair to be
protracted. 1t is understood now that
the trust will will be admitted to pro-
bate. The trust feature Of this will
was declared to be illegal, so far as the
real property was concerned. It is
rumored that a similar decision will
be made regarding the personal prop
erty as governed by the trust. If SO.
the attorneys say, that would permit
the estate to be distributed to the
Fair heirs directly without beng
tied up in trust and managed sole
by the trustees against the wishes Of
the Fair heirs.
The trust will, with the trust feat
ures eliminated, would be acceptable
to the Fair children. 1t is said that
the action of Delmas this morning is
the result Of an agreement entered
into by all the parties to the litigation
and that Mrs. Craven, DR. Mark Lev
ingstoh and others have been recon-
pensed by the heirs for any loss they
might sustain through the abandon
ment of their position.
Attorney Deimas made a long
statement which was not concluded
until the noon recess. He said that
his reason for withdrawing the pencil
viii offered by Mark Levlngston and
Mrs. Nettie Craven was to strengthen
Mrs. Nettie Craven's position as the
contract wife of Fair and the posses
sor of deeds to valuable properties
alleged to have been signed by Fair
and termed forgeries by the Fair
children. Delmas said that il the
pencil will should be rejected it
wonld iniure Mrs. Craven's position
as the holder of those property deeds,
80 the will was Withdrawn and Mrs.
Craven and her allies will concen
trate their energies and strength on
the deeds and in establishing ti.cir
validity. The proceedings This morn
ing are generally regarded as a dis
tinct victory for the Fair heirs.
The trust will OF September 81
1894, was admitted to probate. At
,torney George Knight for Charles l..
Fair said that he was prepared to
prove that the pencil will was a
forgery, but the court would not per-
NIT further statement along this
line.

Italy's Murder Record.

Italy probably holds the record
in the number of murders commit
ted. Recently IA murders were
committed inside of Is hours dur
ing the night from June 9 to noon
June 10. At Bramadsno a man
was killed by his wife with q
Ratchet, the reason being jealousy.
Near Treviso a merchant stabbed
his wife and five other people in a
fit of insanity. At TRAM priest
was shot by his uncle in parish
church because he would not lend
any more money to his relative
and was addicted to drink. Near
Caserta peasant woman killed a
soldier who had insulted her. In
Ragusa, Sicily, three persons were
killed in fight between peasants
and attendants OF q cemetery near
by, at Granmichel, peasant
killed his brother-in-law on ac-
count OF trif1ing differences, and at
Monterosso another peasant woman
killed boy with a large stone be-
cause, he had stolen two oranges.

The Horseless Carriage.

In fact, 1t is so thoroughly &C.
cepted that the horseless carriage
has come to stay, that scores of
manufacturer are already engaged
in turning out these machines OF
many and varied types. Their
first use will, of course, come in
the cities, where there are good
roads, and for such purposes as
light expressage. The great value
of the horseless carriage, as COM
pared with the old style, is its far
greater cheapness. The use Of
horses in our cities, for instance is
practically forbidden to ali except
the very rich. But a team fed
with oil or naphtha, at cost Of a
few cents day, will perhaps even
tuslly place a barouche for after
noon rides in Central Park within
the reach of any bookkeeper or
clerk. When man earning $1,000

die him twenty miles away from

Tins to the tennis, baseball or golf
habit, from which they are now
sheltered by the mere inertia Of

And with each advance in the art
of moving rapidly there will be a
corresponding increase in out Of

tunity to reach the fields and the

HINTS ON MARKETING.
Notes of What and How to Select at the
Market.

NOTES OF Wnat ana how 10 select al the
Market.
In selecting beef choose that
which has loose grain, easily
yielding to pressure, of clear red,
with whitish fat. II the lean is
purplish and the fat yellow, it is
poor beef. Beef which has been
long killed turns q darker color
than fresh killed.
In aselecting veal take that
which is firm and dry, the joints
stiff, having the lean delicate
red, the kidney covered with fat,
and the fat very white.
In choosing mutton take that
which is bright red and close
groined, with firm and white fat.
The meat should feel tender and
springy on pressure.
In selecting pork, If young, the
lean can be easily broken when
pinched and the skin can be in
dented by nipping with the fin.
gers. The fat will be white and
soft. Thin rind is best.
In selecting poultry choose those
that are full grown, hut not to old.
When young and fresh killed the
skin is thin and tender, the joints
not very stiff and the eyes full End
bright. The breast bone shows the
age, as it easily yields to pressure
If young, and is tough when old. A
goose, when old, has red and hairy
legs, but when young they are
yellow, and have but a few hairs.
In selecting fish take those that
are firm and thick, having stiff
fins and bright scales, the gills
bright red, and the eyes full
and prominent. When the
fish are long out of the
water they grow soft, the fins
bend easily, the scales are dim, the
gills grow dark and the eyes
sink and shrink away. Be sure to
have them dressed Immediately,
sprinkle with salt and use them, II
possible, the same day that they
sre purchased. In warm weather
corning or putting them on ice will
be necessary, If they are to be
kept until the next day. She'll fish
can be- decided upon only by the
smell. HOLSTERS are not good I'M
less alive, or else boiled, before be-
ing offered for sale. They are
black when alive and red when
boiled.
In hot weather meats should be
placed directly in the refrigerator
or ice box when brought from mar
ket. II there is no refrigerator
wipe the meat dry, sprinkle on a
little salt and hang in the cellar ;
or. better still, wrap it, thus pre-
pared, in dry cloth, and cover it
with charcoal or ashes. Mutt
wrapped in cloth wet with vine
gar and laid on the cellar floor
will keep well, and this will also
improve its tenderness. - The

At Old Versailles.

Attention has been directed a
good deal to the old Chateau OF
Versailles by the unfounded ru-
NOR that the car would be- lodged
there during his visit to Paris. AS
a matter of fact, it would be diff
cult to find a proper suite of rooms
in the famous palace of the Grand
Monarque wherein to lodge the i'm
perial visitor. The magnificent
dwelling of Louis XIV is, and has,
for long time, been in the hands
of the restorers, owing to its de-
plorably dilapidated condition. 1t
may be ready for the accommoda-
tion Of royal or imperial visitors to
the exhibition of 1900, but at the
present moment it is surrounded
by scaffoldings, which can not be
taken down for a long time to
come; and the Hall Of Mirrors
would require six months patch
ing up and clearing before IL could
be got ready for ball or recep.
ton. The curators of the palace
state that the large Trianon is the
only place where sovereign
might be accommodated, but then
it is too small, and Is nearly mile
and a half from Versailles, which
is itself too close to the metropolis.
Even in the days Of Napoleon III
there was no sleeping room for
monarchs in the chateau, and at
the present moment it would be
difficult to house the president OF
the senate there comfortably IL he
had to spend any time at Versailles
in the event of congress being
assembled for more than day.
Great things are, however, prom
ised for 1900, and the curators guar.
antee that, exteriorly at least, the
palace and the magnificent
grounds, gardens, groves and foun-
tains by which it Is surrounded
will be exactly as they were in the
days of Louis XIV and Mile. de Ia
Valliere. -London Telegraph.
