NO oOOSEsERRY PIE FOR HER
rhe Old Lady Had a Dinner That Sur
prised the knowing Gamblers.

The old lady entered a restaurant
which, rightly OF wrongly, is known as
the resort CT the gay and careless. She
was typically countriiied in appearance,
her spectacles resting on the bridge OF
her nose, her hat being old fashioned
and her gait and general attitude those
of one fresh from the little farmhouse.
Without, however, any sign OF halt
ing confidence that was to be expected
of a stranger to city ways, she sat down
at the most conspicuous table in the
room. A surly looking short card play
er, who, although it was 6 O'Clock III
the afternoon, was just getting his break
fast, stared at her with curiosity. Two
detected turf gamblers, prevented from
attending the races ON that day oy bad
luck on the day before, who were solac.
ing themselves with strong waters and
who hadn't spoken 4 each other for
half an hour, observed her with slight
smiles.

ALL. THE LATEST NEWS OF
THE DAY.
THE FAIR WILL CASE.
The Trust Clause Invalid and the
Children get the Realty.

Sni!dren ger the NeaiLy.
San Francisco, Feb. 3. The suit
over the will of the late James G. Fair
was practically decided this morning
by Superior Jugde Slack. who decided
the trust clause Of Fairs will invalid
SO far as it relates to the real estate.
All there is left for the heirs to fight
over is the personal property. The
decision today WAS made on the ac-
ton brought by Charles Fair against
the trustees under the will to quiet
title to the Lick House, a part Of the
property,
Three Of the trustees. Angus, Breese
and Crother7. disclnimen in their
answers any interest as individuals,
| but pleaded that they were trustees
/ for the heirs named in the will and
that their only claim was as such
trustees. white the probate Of the will
was pending,
On this answer, the plaintiffs moved
| for a Judgment on the peadings on
the general ground that they did not
state facts sufficient 10 constitute q de
fense, ami the Court granted me-
ton. But W. S. Go0dfellow, the
fourth trustee. filed a separate answer,
in which he denied that Charles Fair
or his sisters are 0NDcIs Of the prop
erty or have any right or title to it.
He allt ges that the trustees ale OWL
ers Of the property in trust for the
uses mentioned in the will. The
question now at issue is at end. and
all that Charles Fair, Virginia
Fair and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs have
to prove is that their father was the
owner of the real estate and tha it de
scended to them upon his death.
The Court holds that the trust is in
valid not because it unduly extends
the power of alienation, but because
it is trust created in real property
that is to transfer and convey re-
maineder after the death Of Fair s
children, which the trust law of this
State does not permit to be created.
Fairs children, therefore. have Sc
cured IA decision that their fathers
x will, in so far as it deprives them of
b. the remainder of his real property, is
70 absolutely void. The allegation of
Fairs children is that they are own
ers of the property in question and
they are comrelled in order to show
the property, that he died without hav-

SPONGES ARE HIGHER.
One of the Results of the Prevailing War
in Cuba.

People investing in sponges just now
feel the effect Of the war in Cuba. you
pay from % to 30 per cent. more for
spOnges today than you did a year ago,
says a member Of one Of the large New
York wholesale sponge houses down in
the Swamp" Even the general stagna-
ton of business does not lower the
prices he went on. Our spOnges in
this country come from Key West, Mas
sau and Cuba. The Spanish cruisers
lowering around the last-named place
have made sponge fishing an tlnat-
tractive business for the Cubans. This
has decreased the stock and raised the
price of Cuban sponges, and it has gone
UP CORRESPONDENCE i'll other places. The
sponge business IS different from any
than eight or nine wholesale houses in
the United States, though there are a
great many jobbers. People buy spOnges
more by chance than they do any other
kind Of goods, | believe-that is. for tot
let purposes. If they happen to see a
sponge they fancy they buy it. 1t is
my opinion that q druggist who keeps
his stock of SpongeS under his counter
might no. sell more than twenty-five
sponges. while a man next door having
4 good collection in full view would sell
Il great many. The Mediterranean
sponges-all our fine bath sponges come
from the ELECTROMAGNETIC the only
ones sold in their natural condition. The
loWer-Srade sponges people prefer
bleached. They are cheaper, though the
process is more expensive. All sponges
go through Il chemical process, but the
average buyer evidently has an idea that
Il bleached sponge is cleaner. New

in every way with those of meat, and
that they possess the same amount of
