BIG CALIFORNIA FORTUNES.
Bslf of Those who Inherited Them Are.
Penniless.

Balf of Those who Inherited 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-
sition of the vast sums they left behind
them. The document gives the history
of 53 wills, disposing of $175, 900, 600,
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 i'll each will was ten, though
in Il 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-
atively small estate of Kate Johnson,
which was appraised at $3.50, 600,
reached more heirs than any other, the
number on the list being 20, while the
$4,000, 900 Of Thomas Blythe went to
the one child, Florence, after IA celebrat
ed trial. The estate of Maria Coleman
was valued at $1,757, 200, and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's $4,000, 900 reached six persons,
while Mary Ann Crocker's $l1, 1888, ,657
went share and share alike to four of
the six who got Charles Crocker's larger
fortune.
Peter Donahue's So, ,7OS, 312 went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa
Fairs 81, 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 81, 1,000, 600 went
to six heirs George Hearst's IS, 7SS, 1877
went i'll 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, 6S4, 762 went to two persons. Rob
ert q. Johnson's $1,910, $50 went to IL
persons in almost equal portions.
There are a few exceptions to the
general course of estates, as in the case
of Lick and Stanford. The $4,000, 900
OF the Lick estate went chiefly to one
heir and to a number of trusts of a pub
lie nature created before James Lick's
death. Charles Mclaughlin left his
~, 476, 600 to his widow, while Alexan-
der Montgomery 81, 35G, S45 went to
three heirs. Daniel Il. Murphy's $2,-
O41, ,67O went to six heirs. William S.
O'Brien's 80, 655, $50 reached eight per-
SONS James Phelan left an even mil
lion, which reached four persons i'll
shares and number of small bequests.
A. j. Pope's $l,660, 900 reached four
heirs. Washington Ryer left $l.276, 39S
to Is persons. Leland Stanford's ST.
6SS,319 went to four persons and the
trust for the university. Field

Moon Heat.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has Won
derful influence on or over animate and
inanimate things on our planet. Such
persons should remember that moon
light is only reflected sunlight, and that
the quality and quantity of the light
thus reflected is not what is generally
imagined. In fact, it is truth which
has often been demonstrated by the
speculative astronomers that it would
take $4,000 full moons to afford an
amount of light equal to that emitted
by the sun, and, furthermore there is
only sky space for 70, 900 such disks.
Some heat comes from moonlight.
However, it is in quantities so small
that it cannot be measured by ordinary
instruments. Flammarion says that the
amount of heat emitted by full moon
while at the zenith cannot be more
than one-eighty- -thousandth of the
amount that the sun supplies when
standing OH the meridian OH favorable
day i'll July. Such being the case. it is
really surprising that intelligent people
should consider that the moon has such
a wonderful Influence" over terrestrial
affairs. st. Louis Republic.

Samples.

Careful inquiry at the leading dry
goods stores i'll this city shows that but
few of them give samples indiscrimi-
nately nowadays. All of them prefer to
send samples by mail. The average Gus
toner who asks for samples is requested
to leave her name and address and the
goods will be forwarded to her. This is
especially the case if she wants what is
called cline of samples is,
pattern upon pattern of the same style
and species. Every big shop employs its
fifties of persons whose duty it is to at
tend to nothing save the cutting and
sending of samples. "We never spend
less than 80, 800 year in goods to be
cut up for samples, said the mail de-
partment manager of one firm, "and
sometimes the sum is much larger" 1t
is generally understood among dry goods
houses that all samples sent are to be
returned. Of course dressmakers are al
ways favored with samples, which they
are not requested to return nor pass
along to their next door neighbor. They
are. a privileged because remunerative
class. The new order of things i'll the
sample line is due to the crazy quilt
fad, which cost many merchants "a lot
of money and no end of annoyance -

Question of Adipose.

A criminal lawyer of long experience
at the bar was heard to say the other
day:

number of men, larger than most peo-
pie suppose, who have scruples about

beyond my power of comprehension.
Later continued study of the jury box
led me to a discovery. That was that

mostly of tall, lean men would, when
the evidence was sufficient, never have
the slightest hesitation about fixing ex-
treme SCI tcnce On the other hand,
jury where short, fat men predominated

brought in it would generally be term

He had ii SMILE as bright AS his gay
ly colored trap as he rode up alongside
a demure young woman who was walk
ing in Central park the other morning
upon one Of the asphalt paths. She
heard the rattle of wheels at her side,
yet she turned neither to the right nor
to the left.
''Good morning" said the handsome
young man as he raised his straw hat
with the dizzy band. "Wouldn' you
like to take ride with me this morn
ing:"
The girl didn't say 'Sir-r-rr' or
"What means this intrusion?" She
slowly turned around and looked the
young man over from head to foot. He
bore her gaze without fincbing and
started to get down from his seat, as if
to assist her into the trap.
The girl looked at him, and then at
the pocketbook which she held i'll her
hand.
81 don't know" she said half aloud.
81 don't know, I'm sure. How much
would you charge to take me to the
Art museum?'
There was a whirl of yellow trap, of
bright red hatband and flying wheels,
"You'll dol" the young man said as
he rapidly drove away.-Exchange.

Getting Even With Him.

1t is always gratifying to ones sense
of justice to see the tables turned upon
a would be swindler. Mrs. J. G. Jebb
tells the story of "a young Englishman
who was travelling in Mexico One Don
Manuel represented to him the immense
value of a certain silver mine, with
which circumstances compelled him to
part. But his friend should see and
judge for himself.
The two men were accordingly lower
ed n short distance into the shaft, and
the Englishman was so pleased with the
appearance of the ore that he gave his
check for half the purchase price Later
he felt moved to explore his Investment
farther, and, going alone to the mine,
hired an Indian in the vicinity to lower
the cage. He speedily discovered that
the mine was full of water.
Putting into immediate action Il plan
of reprsal, he sought Don Manuel and
expressed his desire to visit the shaft
again, to which the Mexican reluctantly
yielded. The Indian was again hired to
lower the cage, Don Manuel, at the
Englishmans instance, giving tho req
uisite Instructions The Englishman
then politely motioned the older man to
be seated.
Hardly had he done so when the In
dian, in obedience to a gesture from his
secret patron, began turning the wind
lass. In vain Don Manuel entreated and
threatened, till his voice arose family
from far below.
Then the cage was drawn up to with
i'll a few feet of the surface, and the
Englishman demanded Of its drenched
occupant the surrender of his check
Evidently the young man meant busi-
ness, and, without a word, Don Manuel
yielded.
"Now you can come out. hope you
have not taken chill?' inquired the
Englishman courteously. - YOath's

Bad Spelling as q Result of Disease.

People who spell very badly are not
uncommon, and this defect is almost
always the occasion of serious annoy
ance to them and embarrassment to
their friends. That bad spelling is
caused by disease is statement that
will be new to many, but that such a
state of things exists is proved by excel
lent medical authorities. In certain con-
ditions of brain and nerves the patient
almost invariably writes "ot" instead
of "to. " In another slightly varying
form, instead of the" the first letter is
omitted, and so in many other of the
shorter words This malady usually
affects the BRAIN only in connection
with words of one syllable, but cases
have occurred where longer words have
been so distorted that it was difficult to
get their sense. 1t is question whether
one would be comforted by being told
that bad spelling was caused by mental
disease or whether he would prefer to
have this lack of accuracy set down to
ignorance or carelessness. New York

DOLLY MADlSON'S TACT.
How She Placed at Ease Ratified Visitor
at the White House.

How She Placed at Ease Ratified Visitor
at the White House.
1t was the tact and genuine kindli-
ness of Dolly Madison that made her
one of the most prominent American
women. Several episodes mentioned in
Mrs. Almon Goodwin's Life of Dolly
Madison are significant of this. At
one of her levees her attention was
drawn to rustic visitor, a youth who
was evidently suffering all the torments
of embarrassment. He had at last ven
tured to help himself to cup of coffee,
when Mrs. Madison walked up and ad-
dressed him. In the surprise of the mo-
ment the lad dropped the saucer and
strove to crowd the cup into his pocket.
His tactful hostess took no notice of the
accident, except to observe that in such
a crowd no one could avoid being jostled,
and straightway turned the conversa-
tion to the boys family and ended by
sending her regards to his excellent
mother and bidding the servant to bring
another cup of coffee.
On another occasion two old ladies
from the country arrived at the White
House while the family were still at
breakfast. To the surprise of the rural
visitors, the woman they came to see ap-
peared in stuff dress of dark gray
protected by large housewifely white
apron and with linen kerchief pinned
about her neck. Her simplicity of man.
ner and attire completely swept away
their awe and before nartiDp 0Oa of
them found courage to ask, Perhaps
you wouldn't mind if l kissed you
Just to tell the folks about!''
