BETTER IN NEW MEXICO.
Millionaire A. A. Grant on the
Big Wool and Cattle
Market.
Is a Newspaper Owner and Interested
in Large NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Prosperity Seen.

A. A. Grant of Grant Bros, the wealthy
railroad contractors of Albuquerque, who
have a contract on the Valley Railroad,
and another on the Southern Pacific on
the coast, returned here from New York
via New Mexico yesterday. He is at the
Palace.
Mr.. Grant is the owner of the Albuquer-
que Daily Democrat and of the water, gas
and electric-light systems in Albuquerque.
He is also largely interested in other enter
prises. He is not only quoted as mil
lionaire, but is said to be probably the
wealthiest man in the Territory.
ga great many cattle are now being
! shipped out OF New Mexico" said Mr..
Grant. "The trains are loaded. 1t has
been very good year for maturing beef,
as grass has been pretty good.
"The price of cattle is not as high as the
growers have desired, still great deal OF
money is coming into New Mexico from
the sales that have been made. The coun-
try is looking better.
1.-The wool crop is big, but if we had such
tariff on it as is due, we would be helped
materially. New Mexico raises a great
deal of wool. and it is of very fine quality,
take it over the Territory.

can nominated at St. LOUIS we Will see

going to help California more than almost

been hurt some, but there is a lot of fruit
yet over California, and plenty of money
will accrue from it. Then the other things

been for four years. 1t will remain so
probably till man can be nomin mated for

dence.'

fore alluded to.
Il took hold of it," he said, because
thought it would help the town. It gives

READ KEEPS THE RANCH.
The Rancho Corte de MADEIRA Suit Is


The Rancho Corte de MADEIRA Suit Is
Dismissed.
Acting under instructions from the At
torney-General, United States District
Attorney Foote, dismissed yesterday the
action against John ]. Read, involving
certain properties in Marin County. The
case is one of long standing. 1t was
ALLEGED by the Government that the tract
of land known as the Rancho de Corte
MADEIRA was illegally held by the presen
owner, John J. Read. The main conten-
ton was that the patent mad been i'm
properly obtained.
In the dismissal of the suit the presump-
ton is that the Attorney General has be-
come convinced that either the original
suit was without foundation or that suf-
ficient evidence could not be procured to
warrant trial.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-05

Inc supreme COurL ueclueu yesterday
that DR.. Cogswell has no right to revoke
the original deed by which he endowed
the Cogswell Polytechnic School.
The text of the decision is as follows:
1t may be said Al once that the trust creates
and is intended to create perpetulty. 1t
may be further said that the beneticiarles
under it are not limited 10 the poor. But is 1t
for these reasons any less an eleemosynary
trust? 1t is quite true that the word eleemosy-
nary comes to us from the Greek word mean
ing aims; but while it is always interesting to
note the origin and first meaning of words
this information is frequently more curious
than valuable, while to insist that the original
meaning shall govern the word in its modern
use and acceptation is very rarely permisSi BILE.
1t is in this way interesting to note that the
word sycophant comes from Greek words
meaning "fg informer," but II would scarcely
be contended to-day that man could not be
properly called sycophant unless he dealt in
figs
In short, words by use are sometimes de-
graded. sometimes ennobled, sometimes mar
rowed in meaning. sometimes broadened.
',Eleemosynary" has come, in the law, to be
interchangeable in meaning with the word
charitable" A charitable trust. or a charity,
is in law a donation for promoting the welfare
OF mankind at large or com immunity or OF some
class forming part OF it, indefinite as TO num-
bers and individuals. 1t may, but it need not,
confer gratuitous benefit upon the poor. 1t
may but it need not, look to the care of the
sick and the insane. 1t may, but it need not,
seek 10 spread reIlSlOu or pleVy- SCHOOLS
libraries equally with asylnms, hospitals and
religious institutions are included within its
scope.
Ii is impossible to enumerate specifically all
purposes for which an eleemosynary trust
NAV be created. The difficulty is inherent in
the subject matter itself.
With the progress of civilization new needs
are developed, new vices spring up, new forms
of activity manifest themselves, any or all of
which for their advancement or suppression
may become the proper object OF an elee-
mosynary trust.
The objects and purposes of the present trust
are purely charitable. The mode of effectuat-
ing the charity by the erection and mainte-
nance of a polytechnic college is clearly set
forth. The salaries of the professors, teachers
and instructors are to be paid out of the trust
funds. Tuition is to be absolutely free, so long
as the resources of the trust viii permit
The evidence shows that Mrs. Cogswell url-
derstood the legal meaning of the trust deed.
The Judgment in the validity of the trust is
affirmed
Ex-Mayor Ellert brought the suit against
Cogswell, he having heard that a collusive
suit had been commenced by DR.. Cogswell
and his wife, by which they intended to
destroy the trust they had created.

Part of the New Road Will Run
Along the Beach for Two
Miles.
SURVEY WORK IN PROGRESS
Park and Ocean Steam Line to Be
Converted Into an Electric
Road.

There is now under consideration by the
Market-street Railway Company project
which will give San Francisco as fine a
pleasure ride for 10 cents as is offered any
where in the world for the money.
Details are being arranged for a belt line
which shall give ride from the ferry to
the ocean shore, two miles along the
beach and back to the ferry for two scent
fares.
The route proposed is along any of the
Market-street lines that transfer to the
Park and Ocean steam road which skirts
the southern boundary of Golden Gate
Park from Stanyan street to the beach,
along the Park and Ocean line to the
beach, two miles southwark along the
beach to the Ocean House, thence via
Ocean avenue. IngIeside and the Mission
street line back to the ferry.
This will give trip of twenty miles.
The work of surveying for the route
along the beach is now in progress, but it
will be some months before the actual
work of constructing the road will begin.
1t is said that the rails laid by the
Southern Pacific Company for the spur
which ran into the Midwinter Fair

link between the point where the Park
and Ocean road strikes the beach and the
Ocean House.
But the first work will be the conversion
OF the Park and Ocean road into an cleo
tric line This line is now losing propo-
sition. as the Sutro electric. road is virtu-
ally carrying all the traffic to the ocean.
And in fact the proposed belt line is to be
a counter attraction for summer pleasure
travel to the Sutro road. When work is
once begun the whole project will be
rushed through in short order.
One circumstance that has served to
make the Park and Ocean line unpopular
and improbable is the fact that the sand
waves have interfered with the regular
running of trains. So serious has this
trouble become that one track has been
abandoned, as for an entire mile it is
buried under the sand and it has been
found impossible to keep it clear. All
traffic is now being carried on single
track.

SMASHED THREE TARGETS.
Big Rified Cannon on Alzatraz Aimed
With Remarkable Accuracy.

Big Rified Cannon on Alzatraz Aimed
With Remarkable Accuracy.
Remarkable accuracy of aim was demon
strated at Alcatraz Island yesterday dur
ing the target practice with the big 8-inch
rifed cannon
The firing was done by Battery E, in
command of Captain Vogdes. Lieutenant
Treat verified the sighting, and the guns
were handled by Sergeants Smith and
Scanlon.
The target, scarcely larger than mans
coat, was in the shape of an equilateral
triangle, with sides three feet long. AT q
distance of 200 yards it appeared to the
unaided eye a mere speck, and yet the
first shot fired struck it squarely in the
center and shattered it beyond all future
usefulness.
new target was placed in position. A
second shot was fired and a second time a
mighty missile struck squarely and COM
pletely destroyed the object at which it
was aimed.
Eight more shots were fired, all of.which
showed unusual skill in craftsmanship.
AT last the target was placed at distance
OF l7O0 yards and the final shell made
further hrlng unnecessary.
The practice throughout by both Bat
terry Il and Battery K indicated marked
improvement over the work of previous
years in accuracy of aim and in the
method OF handling the big guns.

"It Is easy enough to excuse the
populace In America for showing n
hostile attitude toward Spain. They

tlun of affairs In Cuba. The senate,
however, should be less excitable. The
gentlemen who compose II are pre-
