Owing 10 the fact that the Board of SUI
needed its asse bly, cham Der, Judge Slack
was compelled to move again. This time
he arranged to secure Judge Hebba I'd 8
courtroom temporarily, but to-day he will
go back to the big chamoe Juror Bur-
hngame delayed matters considerably by
not putting IN an appearance on time.
He had difficulty in find in e the new court
room and besides had misunderstood the
courts order as to the time for converting.
The cross-examination of Clarke was
quickly finished and then came the e.
oirect examination. In res ponse to Mr.
McEnerney's questions Clarke said that
the first time he ever told any body that
Senator Fair spent the Oath of September
in San Rafael was some time shortly after
the so-called pencil will was offer for
probate. He could not remem Der lust
when it was, but it was inside of two
months after that will was prod uced
Then the witness was returned to the
defense for e-cross-examination. Mr.
Foo.e being absent Clarke was ques toned
by Mr.. Delmas. The latter wanted to
know again who was the first person he
told about the San Rafael trip and Clarke
SAID it was Executor GoodfelIow.
"How did you come to tell him?' asked
Mr.. DeImas.
II don't know. l was in his Office at
the time" was the reply.

signed"
"What paper?"

SPOKE TO YOUNG MEN

Listener.

Listener.
Rev. ]. George Gibson, pastor Emman-
uel Baptist Church, spoke to men and to
young men particularly at Y. NJ. q. A.
Hall on the corner Of Mason and Ellis
streets Sunday afternoon.
Among the interested listeners who did
not leave the hall until Mr.. Gibson fin
isbed his address was Chief Of Police
Lees.
The pastor spoke of the hard struggle of
young men to find EN- ploy ment ana of the
d:scouraglng rebuffs they received from
the selfish and prosperous men of the day.
He mentioned that the act of criticism
was easier to cultivate than the act of
sympathy. Men appealed to for assist
ance often turned about and asked the
applicant all sorts Of questions winding
up with the remark: Iii you had not
done so and so you would not be in need
of help"
Here the speaker cited the example of
Christ who always held out the hand of
compassion before he commanded. Christ
melts the heart with love Until it is soft 3
wax and then puts on any i'm oppression he
chooses.
The pastor reminded his young hearers
tudb we All nave our tcM ptdtiOuSs tIldlS
and worries, and that the real helper OF one
wearied and discouraged is Christ"
The audience sang Showers of Bless
ings" and H. J. Mccoy related some of
his experiences in seeking for EN- ployment
twenty-seven years ago. The kind words
which he received from one man then
were pleasantly men ioned yesterday.
In speaking OF his future plans Mr.. Glib
son said to CALL reporter after the meet

earlier than two months hence. He re-
marked that it was not his purpose to
leave California, but thought he would GO
to Chico and there rest for some time.

II object to that question on the ground
that it is irrelevant, incompetent and
immateriaI."
The litigation over Mrs Nettie Craven 5
deeds to the Fair property is now in its
third week, yet these were the first words
uttered by Attorney George A. Knight
since the trial began. By them he meant
to have it known that he has something
to say in the case and does not propose to
be shut out. Mr.. knight has all along
posed as one of the generals over the
army OF barristers arrayed against Mrs.
Craven and her claims and that detach-
.ment of the general public which IS in
daily attendance at Judge Stacks court
has wondered more than ever why it was
that he kept in the background. Knight
doubtless had been thinking about this,
TOO, and determ ined yesterday to interiect
himself into the case in a manner calcu-
lated TO bring about speedy determine
ton as to where he was at.
So it was, then, that the silver ongued
orator from the woods of distant Hum
boldt took advantage of the first oppor-
tunity presented him TO object to one OF
the cross-questions put TO Witness Her
bert Clark by Attorney Foote of the de-
fense-and sure enough that started the
bal rolling.
Counseors Mem ernev and Pierson, who
have been doing all the talking and bpsl-
ness generally for the plaintiffs side
since the beginning of the trial, looked up
in surprise at Mr.. Knights intrusion.
and there were some people in the court
room who thought they even detected a
frown on the gentIemen's faces. But,
however that may be, Judge Slack became
readily cognizant OF the fact that some
thing was up and wanted to know by what
right Mr.. Knight was ringing in, as it
were.
well, if your Honor please, said Mr..
knight rising and glaring around him
savagely, we might just as well have this
thing settled right now, | am here repre-
senting the owners of this estate-tne
heirs as interven ors-the children OF James
G. Fair. They would be in possession OF
their property but for this suit, and it
seems 10 me that |, as their legal repre-
sentative, have a most important duty to
attend to here. / propose to look after
their interests and to exercise my right to
speak whenever l deem il expedient."
Judge Slack said he had already ruled
that the interests of the intervenors and
executors were identical. and he was n OF
going to permit a dozen attorneys 10 bob
up whenever they felt like having some
thing 10 say.
OF course all this was no funeral of the
defense's, but nevertheless the attorneys
on that side could not abstain from having

William Z. Stanford, a clerk for the
stationery house OF H. S. Crocker & Co.,
was called to the witness stand by the
plaintiffs. During the year 1896 he had
charge OF the legal blank and mathemsti-
cal department.
Mr.. Pi rson was now doing the ques-
tioning for the plaintiffs and Judge Dem
son changed seats with Mr.. Delmas, in
order TO do the cross-examining when his
turn came.
Stanford went on to say that it was his
duty to order the printing of such stock as
his department required. He produces
his order-b book and found by consulting it
that he issued an order to the printing
Office for 10 900 acknowledgment blanks on
January s. 1896. The plaintiffs are to
make an effort to show that the blanks on
which Notary Cooneys ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Of Mrs. Craven's deeds appear were
printed after the date those deeds were
executed.
Under cross-examination Stanford said
ne had been in full charge of the legal
blank department for about year. He
could not remember who was in charge in
January, 1896 HIS Immediate predeces-
scr was man named Cashin. The wit
ness admitted that his order-book con-
tanned many entries made by persons
other than himself, and in some OF these
he detected errors. He was quite sure,
however. that his writings were all cor
rect. He did not think it possible that he

familiar to every one in Western New
York State, Faxon, Williams & Faxon.
Their business makes them experts in the
good things of the table.
The head of the house will tell any in
quirer that when Postum Cereal coffee
was put into his own house in place of
berry coffee, it permitted them to enjoy a
delicious coffee beverage and a gain in
health where formerly they were denied
coffee because of its effect on the health of
the different mem bers of the family.
Postum, being made of pure grains
only, can be taken by the weakest
stomach. as nature has wisely provided
that the grains OF the field can be digested
easily, and as Postum looks like the finest
Mocha and has the coffee taste, it fills the
want of the coffee-drinker very nicely.
Beware of tie fraudulent imitation of
the original Postum Cereal Grain coffee.
Insist on Postum.
