CHARLEY BROWN IS IN LUCK.
Said to Have Won His Suit in New
Orleans,
Which Gives Him the Very Valuable
Estate Left by His
Sister.

A telegram from New Orleans yester-
day stated that C.. G. Brown had OBJ
tanned judgment there in his suit for
mento woman of notorious character,
who died there about year ago leav-
ing an estate of close upon 100000.
Brown has been in New Orleans most
OF the time since last January looking
after his interest in the estate and col
lecting proofs Of his identity as the
womans brother.
Among the telegraphed news to this
coast last January was the announce
ment that Mrs. Fanny Hinckley Sweet
Mills died in New Orleans at the age of
60 years from starvation. and that an
examination of bandbox revealed $40
600 worth of United States bonds hid
den among some trash and that her en-
tire estate was valued at S60,0OO.
1t was stated that she had revoked the
will by which she had left her property
to be divided between an orphan asylum
and men who had befriended her. and
the Public Administrator, in the alb
sence of known heirs, had applied for
letters to administer on the property.
She had either starved herself from pc
nuriousness or fear of poison.
c. c. Brown, on readingAthe para
graph, had Justice Henry send a dis
patch to New Orleans stating that Mrs.
Mills was his sister, and asking who had
charge of her estate.
He said his sister was the wife of
A. NJ. Hinckley, a wealthy ship agent,
before the late war. Her husband died,
leaving her a fortune, amounting to
several millions. She was a sympa-
thizer with the Southern cause, and
contributed over quarter of a million
to aid it in prosecuting the war. After
ward she went to the battlefields and
contributed with her money and work
to alleviate the sufferings of the sick
and wounded.
She owned at that time about forty
acres in the suburbs of New Orleans,
which had become valuable from the
extension of the city, and which con-
stituted the main portion of her prop
erty. Through a decision in the cele-
brated case of Myra Gaines against the
city, the latter won the title to the
property held by Mrs. Hinckley, and
she lost, as was supposed, all her
wealth. A few years ago she married
Mr.. Mills, who was a lawyer in the
Myra Gaines case, and who was then
leading attorney in New Orleans. but
he became dissipated before his mar
riage and soon after died.
Brown said ne mad not corresponded
with his sister for years, but Robert
Dunn of this city saw her in New Or
leans short time before and told him
of it. adding that she did not seem to
be in her right mind.
The woman had been known by vari-
Gus names. In early days here she
shot man, and while out on bail
skipped the country. He died of his
wound.
He then set to work, assisted by his
son, Jay II. Brown, to establish the
fact that he was the brother of the
woman, and it appears he has been
successful.

never yet seen one who did not regret

Membership in a lodge develops a
man and fits him to take part in public
life and the time is coming when the
direction of the affairs of the State will
ere long rest on the shoulders of the
native sons. This is the first time IN
the history of the State that the Native
Sons has been recognized as an organ
ization by any of the fraternal orders
of the State, and he was glad Sacra-
mento Lodge had done it.
1t would be hard to tell the limit of
the effect the old Sacramento Lodge.
with its 300 members, has had on the
progress and destiny of the State, but
it has been for good. OF course bad
men creep into all organizations, but it
has been made up of good men. It's
principles of charity, friendship, love
and truth makes better men.
He hoped the Native Sons would go
on and stand by each other in all that
is for the good of their State. He hoped
that what he had said would make them
feel that Sacramento Lodge was with
them in their efforts to lift up their
State. He would say to them: BE
just and fear not. Let all your work
be in friendship, love and truth" Cap

| Katie Emmett did not do well here
with her play WAITS of New York"
Miss Emmett is not unappreciated but
she needs new play. She is too clever
an artist to confess to narrow limita-
! tionS.
There was good audience at the Clu-
ME Opera house last night and Byron's
threeact comedy was played more
smoothly and vivaciously. The veri-
scope apparatus was all right last night
and the pictures were shown to good
advantage. 1t is a wonderful advance
in the stereoScopic art and a curiosity
| we'll worth seeing. 1t projects pictures
upon a white screen in which all the
figures are in motion, with lifelike de-
tall 1t is, in short the kinetiscope eff
feet thrown upon a large screen. 1t as
yet incomplete. Some day it will be
perfected. Now the hundreds of minute
photographs are sent with amazing
rapidity through a water bath in front
Of a stereopticon. Naturally the agi-
tated water bath creates trembling
motion in the picture, mad it is exceed
ingly difficult likewise to focus the pic
lures accurately. The photographs are
upon thin flexible films and these are
passed through by motor with light
ringlike rapidity. No one photograph
has upon it complete picture, but only
one motion or part of a motion of the
figure, as of man walking, a steam
boat moving or horses running Who
ever has looked into the slot of a
zoescope, child's toy, in which a long
slip with figures printed thereon,
is fastened on the inside of a cylinder
that is rapidly revolved before the eve
so as to give apparent motion to the
ngureS, VIII gather an idea of the prin-
clpIes Of the veriscope. Last night the
best picture was that of the turnout of
fire department. The scene opens with
street view, with people walking
carts moving, cars passing, etc. Pres
emily down the street comes a hose cart
at full speed, then an engineers wagon
then hook and ladder truck. then the
insurance patrol, and lastly fire en-
gine- The latter pauses, the hose is
coupled on, steam got up, and streams
OF water are thrown The crowds
gather, people run hither and thither
teams pass, some block the way, the
Police appear. and there are seen all the
usual incidents of a street fire drill. 1t
Is all to be repeated tonight and prob
ably with still better effect.
The Capital concert series is awak-
ening much interest. Season ticket
sales are so numerous as to assure COM
plete success. 1t looks now as if the

cards-whch will not be sold at the
doorway find seats all taken. On sea-
son tickets only can seats be reserved
and the reservations will begin on the
10th inst Messrs. Cohn and Kidder
say that no more tickets will be sold

they insure every season ticket holder
a seat for the whole season. This is
