BIG CALIFORNIA FOX 1UNES,

half of Those Who Inhe,'ls.u Them Are
Pennless. ~
California has long had reputation
as the home OF the bonanza king, and a
recently issued document, based on the
records Of the San Francisco probate
court, tells all interesting story of the
contests and entanglements which have
massed about the last testament of many
famous millionaires and the final dispo-
sltion OF the vast sums they left behind
them. The document gives the history
Of 53 wills, disposing of $175, O00,O 900.
About 400 heirs divided that vast sum,
and today nearly half of that number
are penniless again, and only a few
have succeeded in adding to their in
heritance.
The average number of persons pro-
vided for in each will was ten, though
in number of instances, the most not
able Of which was the case of Florence
Blythe, the entire estates passed into
the hands of single heirs. The compar-
at1vely small estate of Kate johnson,
which was appraised at $3.50, 900,
reached more heirs than any other, the
number on the list being %, while the
81, 000,0 900 Of Thomas Blythe went to
the one child, Florence, after celebrat-
ed trial. The estate Of Maria Coleman
was valued at 81, 757, 900, and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's $4,000, 900 reached six persons,
while Mary Ann Crocker's 81, 1888, 657
went share and share alike to four of
the six who got Charles Crocker's larger
fortune.
Peter Donahue's $3,70S, 312 went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa
Fairs So, 693, $50 went to three persons
Charles L. Fair, Miss Virginia Fair
and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs-while Will
liam P. Fuller distributed his $1,771,-
262 to seven persons of his name
Emanuel Goldstein's $1,000, 900 went
to six heirs. George Hearst's IS, 1888, 1877
went in equal parts to his wife and son,
while Walter S. Hobart's $5,273,366
went in thirds to his three Children
Walter Hobart, Miss Ella Hobart and
Mrs. Winthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins
$40, 694, 1852 went to two persons. Rob-
ert @. Johnson's $3.50, $50 went tn II
persons in almost equal portions.
There are few exceptions to the
general course of estates, as in the case
of Lick and Stanford The $5,OO0,0 900
OF the Lick estate went chiefly to one
heir and to a number of trusts of pub
Lie nature created before James Lick's
death. Charles Mclaughlin left his
So, 476, 900 to his widow, while Alexan-
der Montgomery So, 356, $40 went to
three heirs Daniel T. Murphy's 3d.
O41, 670 went to six heirs William S.
O'Brien's SO, 655, $50 reached eight per-
sons. James Phelan left an even mil
lion, which reached four persons in
shares and number Of small requests.
A. j. Pope's $1,000, 900 reached four
heirs. Washington Ryer left 81, 276, 39S
to Is persons. Leland Stanford's ST..
668,319 went to four persons and the
trust for the university. -Denver Field

Horse Killed by Electricity.

Monday morning a horse BELONGING
to James Magee, the truckman was
killed by an electric shock which came
about curiously. The main line Of wires
from the Public Works CO.. Veazie
power station comes down Mount Hope
avenue and into Elm street ana the
poles, on curves, are held by heavy guy
wires which are fastened to logs deep
ly set in the ground.
In this case pole was thus held and
the anchor log had another strong guy
wire which was carried to a large fenc,
post. This fence post was one Of i
number which supported a wire netting
enclosing the back yard of an Elm
street man.
The anchor post, as the result of tho
recent rain leaned over and allowed tho
guy Wire to fall across the feed wire a
loose end struck a guy wire and the con
nection was established, The other
guy Wire got connected with the wire
fence. Electricity at a voltage Of 80
was running ON the feed wire and or
the fence.
The horse which had been turned out
in the yard put his nose against tht

and was killed. A man could safely
take hold of the fence and some of tn,
Public Works Co.'S employees did SO.
The company promptly settled with
Mr. Magee for killing the horse paying
him $3.50 and then removed the cause Of
danger.
The employees for some time have
been at work eQuipping these guy wires
along the route between Neazie and
Bangor with ball insulators. These in
sulators are non-conductors UP to 500e

the previous year. The reader will note
the omission Of the number Of mem
bers added to the church, and Of the
benevolences of the Sabbath schools as
separate items. This is by recommen-
dation of the national council.
The Young Peoples societies show a
gain of seven in number, but of 400 in
membership. This marked gain proba-
bly, arises largely from the increase in
junior societies and from the figures for
this branch of the work being for the
first time definitely requested in the
blanks used to obtain the statistics.
The striking feature of our situation
today is in the matter of ministerial
supply. AS has been noted of Aroos-
took so elsewhere throughout our
State the churches are supplied with
ministers as never before. The decided
advance of year ago has been more
than maintained. There are practically
no vacant pulpits among the self-sup-
porting churches and the number among
our smaller churches where there is a
possibility of support with missionary
aid is reduced to the minimum. The
Lord of the harvest has sent forth
laborers into his harvest, may he give
us all the wisdom to win souls ana
gather sheaves unto eternal life.

September.

We are drinking the wine of the ages,
From the cups that are trimming over
With the sweet of a honey unbought with
money.
Distilled from the heart of the clover
The flowers afrlnge on the wayside
Are in radiant of purple and gold;
TO the rough-hewn edge of the Old stone
ledge
The clinging brier-vines hold.
We are breathing life's fine elixir
In the watt of the perfumed breeze,
The sudden showers of the sunlit hours.
The rustic of leaves on the trees.
The fathomless blue Of the heaven.
The beauty and bloom of the day.
Are making us young-they are waking
the tongue
OF the years that have passed away.
tbs the radiant, rare September,
With the clusters ripe on the vine.
With scents that mingle in spray tingle
On the hill slopes glimmering line.
And summers a step behind us.
And autumn's Il thought before.
And each fleet sweet day that we met on
the way
Is an angel at the door.

If $1,000 in gold coin had been bur led

say the miser, the money broker and the
clipper of coupons have made mankind
sweat drops of blood in order that gold
shall be king. While gold is king prop
erty and wages must necessarily be serfs to
his majesty. If a king in flesh had ruled
over this land from 1873 to 1896 and had
compelled his Subjects to place at his feet
