SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3O.-Miss Grace Ell.
Iiot, heiress to twenty or thirty millions Of
dollars is a beautiful girl just q years of age,
The story Of her good fortune reads like eot 3.
circumstances with her foster parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William R. Elliot, 62S O'Farren
street, in this city, and had never had hint
of the store of wealth that was awaiting her.
No one is more surprised at the good news
than Mr.. and Mrs. Elliot who took the girl
from a chidren's home, when she was
friendless waif. Her rightful name is Grace
CLARK. She is the only child of Imblay Clark,
a wealthy mine owner of Peru and Australia,
who died in 1876. His vast estate had been
waiting for an heir ever since. How the little
daughter became lost to the friends of Clark,
who might have cared for her, is a sad story.
Clark and-his wife had arrived in San Fran
cisco on their way East. Mrs. Clark's deli
cate health would not permit her to con-
tnue. After several weeks a daughter was
born, but the mother did not survive. Clark
was heart-broken. He decided to take the
remains TO her native Australia. In strange
land he knew not where to leave the child,
which was too fraiI for such tip. He finally
gave it into the care of chiidren's home

When one looks back over the week
OF club activities and gayeties of all de-
scriptions, luncheons, balls, card par
ties, dinner parties, receptions, and
over all hears the inimitable music of
the wedding bells, there comes to ones
mind from very contrast those mourn
full lines supposed to be descriptive of
this season: '"The melancholy days
have come, the saddest Of the year"
Ii the poet could be in st. Paul now
his own lines would seem singularly
Inappropriate and he would see with
many others that in the whirl Of busi-
ness and pleasure there is only danger
'1est we forget" that the ancient and
acceptable Offering of IAN humble and
a contrite heart is that alone which
will keep sweet the memory of these
gay and feeting days.

maintained by Martha A. Griswo,d, with
plenty of money for its needs until he should
return by the next steamer. He never re-
turned. At the end of year Mrs. Griswold
wrote and learned from the officials that death
had claimed Clarke soon after his arrival
in Australia. She knew that he had been
wealthy, but as to where the estate was or
the amount she was in ignorance. The girl
was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. w R. Elliot.
Soon afterward the Elliots moved East. Grace
Elliot was well educated and became a fine
elocutionist. She took part in a number OF
entertainments in Chicago. New York
dispatch few days ago stating that Vice
President Hobart and Gov. Griggs, of New
Jersey, were endeavoring to obtain from the
English courts a settlement of the estate of
Imblay Clarke, a mining operator who died
twenty years age, attracted the attention of
Mrs. Elliot. She Immediately took her proofs
to lawyer, who declared that the fortune will
go to Grace Elliot without contest, so con-
elusive is the evidence, and all that is nee
essary is to prove to the British government
that Grace Clarke is Grace Clarke Two
nieces of the millionaire, Nan Clarke Squire,
of Jersey City, and Grace Clark, Of New
Brunswick, are the only other claimants.

An Expert Accountant and Bookkeepe Of Detroit Troubled with
Hereditary Scrofula In Its Worst Fom-Spends Small
Fortune Seeking TO Find Cure.
From The Evenino News, Detroit, Mich.

James II. Wallace, the well known ex-
pert accountant and bookkeeper, of Detroit,
Mich, lately had remarkable experience,
and reporter called at his pretty home 240
Sixth Street, to interview him regarding it.
He found Mrs. Wallace in the midst of house
cleaning, and after the reporter stated the
object Of his visit Mrs. Wallace said "You
had better see Mr.. Wallace at the office of

on Orchard Street, and he will tell you of
this experience much better than l." A visit
was made to the Office of the above concern

When IL was time to begin the press

pened to be out in the woods the other
day and ran across some sweet acorns.
AS q boy had thought nothing in the
nut line quite came up to sweet acorns,
and fully expected to find that my
taste had changed, but it hadn't. Those
acorns tasted just as good as any ever
remembered having eaten, and then
and there had an old time feast.
But with cider it is different. I can
remember now how it used to taste
when it came fresh from the mill. l
liked it best through a straw. Those
were most pleasant moments when 1
was at one end of the straw and bar
rel of new cider at the other 1t had a
rich, solid sweetness about it, that cider
did. with an indescribable flavor which
you seemed to feel was nothing less than
the condensed extract of long days of
mellow September sunshine. 1t was
good, honest liquid of which you might
drink quart or two at time without
having headache afterward.
Do we get that kind of cider nova
days? 1 think not. Regularly every fall
my cider thirst is revived, but after one
trial Of the pale, insipid, watery prod
uct Of the modern cider mill it relapses
The liquid which now passes for cider
seems to be cheap and abundant-sus-
piciously so. In every city grocery store
you will find a cask Of it ON tap. But it
tastes like base imitation. Perhaps if
l could get away off into some unfre-
quented corner of New England and
find one of those old fashioned cider
presses l should get cider that would
taste just as good as that which is now
only memory.
There was much that was truly pic
turesque about the old cider mill. The
apparatus used century ago was prob
ably patterned after that made by the
first English settlers. 1t consisted of a
circular wooden trough, around which
heavy circular stone, weighing ton
or less, was drawn by a pair of horses
or yoke Of oxen. Into the trough the
apples were poured, and the stone was
kept going until they had been reduced
to q fine pulp.
never saw one Of these primitive
mills, but have heard them described.
About generation or so ago this style
was supplanted by the box and sweep
mill which is now passing out of use.
You will still find many of them in op-
GRAFTON today, however, in sections of
New England.
1t is clumsy sort Of apparatus, but
what good cider it will make! There
is a solid rectangular box, made Of thick
planks and heavy beams. Inside is a
heavy wooden roller, which is revolved
by means of a long log sweep. To the
end of the sweep steady going, de-
corous old farm horse is hitched, the
bride rope being tied to pole which
projects from the butt end of the sweep.
A we'll trained animal will keep up the
monotonous circuit for hours with no
other urging than the creaking music
Of the antique machinery.
This was slow process for nearly an
hour was required to grind ten bushels
Of apples, but shouldn't wonder if the

and spur track ran along one side Of
the mill. Not only were apples received
from two horse wagons, driven in from
the surrounding country, but they came
in from distant points by the carload
The wagons dumped their loads into
big bins, from which, by means of an
endless chain fitted with small boxes,
like the buckets ON grain carriers, they
were taken to the top floor and tumbled
into big hopper.
At the rate Of bushel a minute the
apples were ground into pulp, which
fell through shoot into great vat on
the second story. Instead of preparing
the "cheese" in the press itself the curd
was spread out ON wooden frames of
Stats, over which were spread big sheets
Of coarse cotton cloth. No straw was
used in the process. When a dozen Of
these huge apple pies had been prepared,
and it was done in very short time,
the whole pile, mounted ON wheels, was
rolled under the press. Next the word
was passed to the engineer, and the
steam engine began to turn the great
steel screw, which soon brought to bear
a pressure of 200 tons on the pulp. The
juice squirted out in perfect torrent, to
be collected at the bottom and run off
in an iron pipe to big tank, from which
it is drawn off into barrels, which are
rolled out ON the platform, placed in
the waiting cars and shipped to distant
points.
While sweet cider is or at least used
to be very pleasant beverage, hard
cider is something to be used judioious-
ly. 1t looks just as innocent as when
new, but it is deceptive liquid and full
of Intoxicating possibilities. However,
it may be used circumspectly and to
good advantage. Even Whittier, the
good Quaker poet, must have appreci-
ated the warming, cheering qualities Of
good, hot, hard cider ON a cold winters
day, for in "Snow Bound, you know,
he refers to it in the lines which run:
For the winters flreside meet
Between the andirons straddling feet
The mug of cider simmered low,

created much surprise and was strongly
condemned. Two men spoke in favor
Of m. bill. but their speeches received
Attlu attention.
Several men who opposed the bill
said that they loved the Union and had

north or against the men who fought
against the south in the days of the
Civil War, but they were unalterably
opposed 10 a measure that would be a
reward for the men who came to Geor.

the PEOPLE who are now expected to

a number Of members spoke and said
that the national government made
ample provision in the way Of pensions
for the aid Of the Union veterans and
they thought Georgia should Contne

during cider making time. Theirs was
an art which is fast passing away.
Cheese after cheese was added until
the pile of curd in the press was five or
six feet in height. In the meantime the
juice had been slowly trickling through
the straw and running in tiny rivulets
over the gutter at the bottom and from
there into the barrels which had been
placed beneath, spout in each bung.
hole. This first cider was muddy and
not altogether palatable.
But after the press was filled the top
boards were let down, the weights put
on and the screw put in motion. Then
how the sparkling amber liquid did
gush out between the straw to fall in
nectarean cascades into the gutter Aft
er the first few moments Of pressing it
gradually became clear and sweet. Then
you could take straw, get into connec.
tion with the barrel or the spout and
enjoy such a delicious drink as no cru
dite bartender or skillful soda water
mixer ever did or ever will concoCt The
longer the screw turned the sweeter and
clearer the cider which ran out. As DR..
Holland puts it:
Pure grew the stream with the stress
OF the lever and the screw
Till the last drops from the press
We're as bright as the dew.
The first were the turbidCst and moanest.
The last were the sweetest and serenest.
The old cider makers knew Just what
kind of fruit made the best cider. They
were not particular as TO whether they
were wholly sound or not. If half of
them were "specked," it did not mat

fruit. Perhaps the cider makers of to-
day make these determinations. don {
