blanks and furnish him with samples.
These packag es were kept in biz at the
rear of the store. The blanks were
wrapped in ordinary manila paper, the
corners being held down by blotches Of
sealing-wax. There were no identification
i'm sions on this wax. The bin, too,
was open and unlocked, and the witness
admitted that there would be nothing to
prevent their removal by any one so dis
posed connected with the establishment.
The witness did not see the blanks in
question printed. They were delivered to
him by Foreman Won Aim of the print
ing department, already wrapped, num-
bered and sealed.
Stanford, replying now to Mr.. McEn-
erney's queries, said be and Captain Lees
examined these blanks several weeks
after Mr.. Persons visit with a magnify
ing glass. A question as to what this ex-
am nation disclosed was shut off by an
objection. Mr.. DeImas showing the court
that it was violation of the rules OF evl.
dence. The original document would
have to be produced, SO the jury could
make the comparisons and conclude as to
the disclosures; otherwise it would have
to be ordered that those particular blanks
had been lost or destroyed.
Mr.. McEnerney tried TO get relief by ask
ing Stanford regarding the whereabouts of
those blanks, but failed again, as Stanford
could not state where they were. He
only supposed that Mr.. Pierson had them.
After quite a deal of sparring McEn-
erney got the witness to say that there was
defective letter 20" in the blanks
printed on January g. 1886, and that this
was the subject of several conversations
between himself and Mr.. Croker and be-
tween himself and Captain Lees.
An adjournment was here taken until
this morning.

NOTHING CAN BE DONE

The People who Blew Up Heidtman's 8
Saloon Will Go Scot Free.
Fire Marshal Towe is as much in a
quandary over the explosion that shat
tered G. f. Heidtman's saloon at Folsom
and Twenty-sixth streets Tuesday morn
ing as he was when George Carroll's drug
store blew up one month ago at Hayes
and Market streets.
Il can make no arrests in these cases."
stated the marshal yesterday, "for I have
no absolute proof OF guilt on which to con-
Wet.
"As a matter of fact Heidtman's place
was blown up by means of dynamite, and
everything would indicate that it was not
an accident. This N orning | found empty
shells six inches long, that must have con-
tanned some explosive, in the ruins of the
building. Heidtman declares that these
shells never were in his possession.
II find also that Henry Wehner, the
barkeeper tells rather 6shy story of his
connection with the fire and explosion
He first claimed to have been knocked
out of bed, burned and badly bruised In
that condition he says he ran four blocks
to Heidtman's house. Several witnesse S
testify that immediately after the explo-
sion Wehner was fully dressed and on the
street.
However, the proof oflguilt is not suffi-
GENTLY strong for me to charge these
people with arson"

count of jealousy during a recent trip OF
the husband to Salt Lake, denies and
quotes good authority for his denial
either that he had taken another woman
with MIN to Salt Lake or that his wife
suspected him of inddelity or knew that
she was taking poison.
He says that bis wife and he had been
in the habit OF gargling, using twenty
drops of the acid in tumblerful of water
for sore throat; that on the night in ques-
ton she gargled with a slightly larger
quantity than usual and left the glass and
the remainder of the water on the table
near the bed, and growing thirsty during
the night drank it without thinking that
it was the water she had used for sore
throat.

Odors from the Cow Stable.

j What is commonly called animal odor
IN milk really comes from the smell of
fresh manure and urine which the milk
absorbs while being drawn in stables.
Part Of this odor will be dissipated by ex-
posture of the milk to fresh, pure air.
But not all can be thus gotten rid of.
Cows in winter are nearly always MIXED
in stables kept as close as possible to ex-
clude the cold. Unless i'll very severe or
stormy weather, it is better to milk the
cows outside the stable, always giving
the COW a mess of good feed of some kind
to keep her quiet while the milking is be-
ing done. 1t is not a very cold job either
for mixer or COW, if in some outdoor
place sheltered from the winds. Milking
is not long job anyway, and the milk
er's hands never get cold while the fresh
stream Of milk is coming through the
teats which they hold. If the weather
is so disagreeablc or stormy that the
milking has to be done in the stable,
cover the manure behind and under tho
cow. In the early morning, after their
nights sleep, most cows will evacuate
both solid and hnuid excrement. This
should be done and the excrement COW
cred before milking is begun. 1t is very
uncommon for milkmen to be careless
about their milk in any other way than
this. No brushing or washing the teats
will make the milk sweet unless it is kept
from absorbing odors from the stable.
This it is sure to do if especial care is
not taken.

LEFT HER SECRETARY MILLIONS.
John Scott Murray Falls Heir to the
Estate Of Lady Wallace.

h1tAte Oh AAUy "81ACes
1t is seldom that private secretary
John Scott Murray, who is constituted
by the will of the late Lady Wallace the
chief legatee of her fortune, roughly
computed at about forty millions. When
Sir Richard Wallace succeeded to the
property of his brother, the fourth Mar
quis of Hartford, probate duty was paid
upon personality in England to the ex-
tent of eighteen millions. This did not
include the extensive estates of the Mar
quis of England, Scotland and Ireland,
nor his possessions on the continent,
life, rarely visiting England. Indeed, it
was stated at the time of his death that
by far the larger moiety of his fortune
was located abroad.
At the death of Sir Richard Wallace in
1890, he left everything to his widow,
and it is known that he vastly increased
his fortune during the twenty years that
he enjoyed it by means Of extensive sales
of real estate. Lady Wallace died, leav-
ing all the magnificent and priceless art
collections formed by Sir Richard Wal
lace and by the late Marquis of Hartford
to the British nation. She bequeathed
everything else not to her grandchildren,
but to the stalwart and good-looking
young Englishman who, after serving
her husband for years as private secre-
tary, fulfilled the same duties for her,
and became the inseparablc companion
of her widowhood.
1t is understood that Mr.. Murray was
invaluable to both Sir Richard and Lady
Wallace as private secretary. Moreover,
he was always good-tenpered, even when
Sir Richard and Lady Wallace were
most irritable and blue, and the entire
Wallace establishment used to revolve
around him.-NeW York World

position, and he gained her consent Il

their marriage. is
When the engagement was announced,
the boys Of the school envied George his
good fortune IN winning SO lovely a bride.
Their esteem for their teacher and desire
for her happiness led them to purchase
and present to her upon her marriage 4
suitable testimonial, with the hest wishes
of all the scholars. They were married
at the Van Duke residence, and the entire
population Of Moraga valley attended the
wedding and the reception TINT followed.
The honeymoon was passed travelling
in tho East, and was to be extended by
tour of Europe. While iii New York,
George received telegram from his IA
Their, recalling him to attend to some most
important business affecting his material
interests. 1t seems that there had been
litigation for several years regarding the
valley, which threatened the rights of all
of the members of Van Dukes family, rs
we'll as of all the old settlers and gram
tees therein. These suits, brought by
Horace w. Carpenter, had just been de-
cided in the United States Supreme court
against the settlers, and they were com
PEELED by the decision to move off the
land, without any compensation for their
improvements. Thus at one blow the en-
tire fortune of the elder Van Duke was
lost. George and his bride returned,
and as they had now no home to go to
and no independent resources, they both
resolved to commence at once working
mer position in the valley school, and
was reappointed. George went to San
Francisco, and secured position as con-
ductor on the California Street railroad.
And so it happened that, after three
months of happy married life, this young
couple were separated by stern destiny.
These untoward circumstances did not
daunt them or destroy their ambition to
gain a competency, and, i'll order to do
this, they saw that temporary separa-
ton was necessary, and also that in Or
der to get start both would be obliged
to work while they We're yet young and
in health. Young Van Duke found it
day Oh Il street car, after the free life
of the forest and mountains; but. spurred
on by love and ambition, he worked with
will and lived in a most economical
fashion.
When they had Jointly saved up $1,000
he started for the gold fields in South
Africa, where, by energy and judicious
speculation he rapidly accumulated
him, but soon firing of this Wild co sum-
try, they returned with a fortune SO
large that the fine of $125,OOO which
President Kruger imposed upon him for
participating in a tilibustering foray
made very little impression upon his
''pile.' Mrs. Van Duke has set her heart
on buying the much-loved home of her
childhood at Martinez, and her husband
is planning to buy the family homestead
in Moraga valley, where his boyhood
was passed and where he won his de-
voted wife. Here he hopes to gather

Some Facts About Canada

There are a great many reasons why
the United States would be benefited by
the annexation of Canada-should that
ever come to pass. The Canadian rivers
and lakes swarm with game fish. The
timber lands are almost limitless. The
undeveloped coal fields cover about 1OO,-
600 square miles. She has more iron
than any other country in the world.
There ere vast quantities of gold aud
silver. Lead is found in nearly every
province. There is also vast supply of
copper; the salt deposits are the largest
in the world, while one place yields nickel
in large quantities. While on the sub
ject, it may be said that considerable
error exists regarding Canada's climate.
1t is not very we'll known, for instance,
that the mean temperature of Hudson
bay is three degrees warmer during the
winter months than the mean tempera-
ture of Lake Superior. There was
colder weather in the winter of 1883
in Iowa and Nebraska than in the North
west territories of Canada.

MlSTOOK WEBSTER FOR CLAY.
How q California Debating Society Wor
SHIPPED a False God for Year.

How q California Debating Society Wor-
SHIPPED False God for a Year.
The members of the Henry Clay De-
batting society of Oakland an organiza-
ton of enthusiastic young students of his
tory, oratory and debate, have made a
discovery which has shocked them.
For a year they have been admiring a
picture Of Daniel Webster, thinking it
was likeness of the immortal man for
whom they named the club. 1t hung
upon the wall in the main room of the
suite occupied by the club, and in the
year was seen and admired by hun
in a large oaken frame, and made I:
very attractive picture. Some of those
who looked upon it may have recognized
in it the likeness of Clay's rival: but no
one ever mentioned the fact, and in the
list of art works belonging to the club
it was set down as a picture of Clay.
During the debates which have aroused
the echoes of the clnbrooms in the last
year the picture was pointed to with
pride every time one of the young ora
tors referred to Clay in any way.
Two weeks ago some one broke the
horrible news to the members of the
meeting, and it was decided at once to
take the picture down. There was an
effort to fix the blame for the error, and
some of the members of the committee
that had purchased the picture were
called before the directors. 1t was
agreed, however, that the wiscst plan
would be to let the matter drop. ALI
those who were in the secret were
pledged to secrecy, and another picture
was purchased.
The members of the club felt rather
81, %E<>
relish the idea of having the public in
formed. At meeting held few even
ings ago Guy D. Reynolds, in the course
of a speech, referred in general way to
the affair. He said enough to make the
members feel uneasy, and to cause the
uninitiated to become curious, and it was
no longer a secret. Now there are gen
eral denials, and visitors to the club are
not supposed to smile when they gaze on
the picture, although the laugh is on
Henry and his followers.-San Francis

FINDS REVOLUTIONARY CAVE.
Young Paul Jones Makes an Interesting
DiScnYetY.

discovery.
While travelling through East Noun
tain, near Highland Mills, N. Y, Paul
Jones, lad of Is years, discovered a
cave which, it is said, was used as hid
ing place more than century ago. From
its general appearance the cave has
been undisturbed since Revolutionary
days.
Whether it was the patriots or Tories
who sought shelter and security there is
hard to determine. Numerous cooking
utensils of the style now seen only in
museums were neatly arranged on
shelves along the rock-ribbed walls. A
heap of human bones which lay in one
corner was plain evidence that the occu-
pants had found their last resting place
in the heart of the mountain. Flesh and
clothing had disappeared, no doubt, long
ago. In another corner lay what looked
like package of official documents. The
ribbon which tied it still retained it's
shape. When Jones touched it the whole
mass crumbled into dust.
Upon exploring the place the lad dis
covered a small wooden box that stood
on a rocky ledge over the entrance. Its
weight surprised him, and when the lid
came off old coins of various countries
tumbled out
Jones did not wait to pick them mp. but
three miles distant, and brought back
two friends. They had lanterns and
spades, and began !, systematic search
for more treasure. Nothing, however
was found, and the precious box was
taken home by the boys Some French
Austrian and Russian coins of dates
ranging from 1899 to 1925 were in the
box. Most of the coins were English
bearing dates from 1870 to 1749. Til.
actual value of the find was not great
as nearly all the pieces were copper.
A few hours after Jones had t1iscov
cred the cave with its treasure. Charles
A. Beam found a lot of English pennies
in the same neighborhood. They were
partly covered with stones and dirt, bu
the recent thaw made gaping holes in
the ground, and they could be seen by
anybody who passed near:
Considerable excitement was caused
in the neighborhood by the discoveries
