During the fall Of 1857 warm north

1t was altogether different in character
from tho winds from that direction eN-

ing invariably cold. From What mayo
heard OF the chinook winds lrp m tne
Pacific coaAt that arc at times ielt rs
far east as, the Snake river, 1t would
seem that the wind tbat autumn was OF
tho same character. Whether tho chinook
wind at that time reached Grcn Shlt

Tor tho weary settlers thai Inc mild

Of modifying nature. The following
winter was the mildest oxpeTionced

that first winter had been as severe rs
even Ibe average one since then' lhere
would have been fearful loss OF SOCK as
no hay was on hand; aud for lack OF
shelter tho people would have suffered
intensely, and possibly some would have
uefishtd. Now, was this accidental, or
was it a special providence OF God In be-
half of number OF His children, Just
then in circumstances TO specially neod

the Latter-dny Saints, especially the
Pioneers, recognized It as special
providence OF God ia their behalf, and
they did aud will fesl grateful to HIM
for HIS special mercies Mt that time.

The treasures of Arizona's wonderful
mines and quarries were TO make the
temple of SURPRISING magnifcence, a
fitting monument to the d eparted glories
OF the Aztecs, the everlasting admiration
of unborn generations who should cross
seas and continents 10 view the first and

splendid plans have been abandoned

ogists and pious antiquarians ali over the

Vaudeville sisters came to California. In
support of her claim she also produced
marriage certificate and Il baptismai GER
tifcate, seemingly in due form, which she
claimed was given to her by her mother
before her departure :or California.
In addition TO these documents she pro-
duced 4 letter said to have been written
by her mother to her from Victoria in the
year 1873. inviting her 10 come to Califor-
MIA and meet her in San Francisco upon
the arrival of the steamer Pacific from
Victoria. In n depos ton she testified
that on arriving a: Port Costa on the 9th
of November she learned that the Pacific
was lost on the night of the SIN. Sne
then came to San Francisco and remained
there few days inquiring for letters or
news of ber alleged mother. Becoming
discouraged at not being able to hear
from her she made preparation to leave
for her Eastern home. At this point she
alleged a sailor paid her a visit and
handed her a will which he stated lie
had picked up at sea in 4 bottle. This
will she presented to the court. On
its face it appeared TO have been written
by Jennie Parsons while the steamer Pa
cifc was sinking, aud in which 1T was
stated she would seal it up and throw it
into the sea in the hope that some one
might pick it up and forward it to her
dear child.
She then returned to Chicago and put
the will away in magazine, and thought
no more about it until the esta te was found
by the publication of the II hernia Bank.
The States heirs repudiated the claim
of this pretended child, and they proved
The San Francisco call., 1897-10-31

conclusively that Jennie Parsons arrived
in the city OF New York with her parents
and sisters by the ship Jennie Lind on
Ash Wednesday. the % h OF February,
1852 five years after the pretended mar
mage, and therefore she was not and never
COMIC have been married to George Adams.
Upon this proof being made, it was
clearly shown to the court that the claim
Of Minnie Adams Brooks was fraudulent /
one and an attemp pit to loot ;he estate by
forged letters and papers. The child born
of clandestine marriage, becoming
alarmed al the consequences, gave up all
her claim to the estate.
Another chapter IN the interesting case
was closed on the last day of the year of
1896. when Minnie Adams Brooks died in
Chicago.
The States heirs were not to receive the
money. of the dead woman without a
struggle, however. as the heirs of Otis
Parsons laid clai m TO the money on the
technical and legal presumption that nm
der section 1868 of the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure the husband was presumed to have
survived the wife, they having perished in
common calamity. and therefore they
were entitled to the money.
To overcome this presumption of sur
viyorship the States heirs through their
counsel, M. G. Hasset, procured the testi-
mony of Neil Henley. Heniey's testimony
virtually decided the contest. He testi-
fed that be had seen Mrs. Parsons IN
boat about sixty feet away from the sink
ing vessel and that Captain Parsons was
on the deck OF the vessel, that the
steamer sank before the small boat did

CLOSING CHAPTER OF MOST INTERESTING AND COMPLICATED WILL CAS-

Judge Coffey's decision in the Jennie
Parsons estate, rendered week or two
ago, was the closing chapter IN one of
The most interesting and thrilling of law
cases.
Tie name of Parsons is unfamiliar to
old Californians, but should they be asked
about the Mandeville sisters, their mem
ory goes blck 10 the early days when
these girls were creating a faror In our
musical and dramatic world.
Mrs. Parsons whose estate was IN con-
troversy, was one of the famous sisters.
In 1857 the Gaynor sisters, Agatha, Jen-
ME and Alicia, arrived in Cali lIiornia. The
girls possessed great beauty and grace OF
figure, and were endowed with sweet
voices and dramatic ability. They made
their first appearance at the old American
Theater, which was then situated on the
corner OF Sdnsome and Halleck streets,
where they received the highest praise
for their efforts.
The clever trio was disbanded in the
following year. when Agatha left for Italy
to complete her musical education. The
talented young singer studied under the
foremost masters. and finally made her
debut in grand opera. She sang in all the
large cities of the Old World, and re-
ceived highest mention. She then re-
turned to her adopted country, and APP
peared i'll leading operate roles, adding
new laurels 10 her fame by her sweet sing
ing. 1t is even said that her voice rivaled
PATHS in purity.
Alicia became the wife of Charles
Thorne Jr., a son of the great actor, and
himself possessed of great ability. Jen-
