There is no art or science that is too diff
ficult for industry to attain to; it is the
gift of tongues, and makes a man under
stood and valued in all countries and by
all nations. 1t is the philosophers stone
that turns all metals into gold and suf-
fers no want to break into Its dwelling.
1t conquers all enemies and makes for

this is symbolized by the display of life
and property saving apparatus, and
each machine was wreathed in flowers
Decorated artistically and profusely
with natures choicest jewels. May the
conjunction of the two be happy omen.

A Grieving Widow and Five Young
Children Mourn His Untimely
Death.

BERKELEY, Nov. 29.-J. S. McShane,
a weII-known and wealthy Berkeleyan,
was found dead in bed at his residence,
2403 Telegraph avenue, early this morning.
Death was caused by gas asphyxialion.
Shortly after 6 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. McShane sent her 4-year-oId son TO
call the father to breakfast. The child
found the room full of gas, but he
managed TO reach the bed and tried In
vain to awaken his father. He called his
mother, who hastily entered the room and
found her husband lying unconscious on
the bed in his night clothes. DR.. East
man was Immediately summoned. but on
arriving at the bedside he pronounced
the man dead.
Deputy Coroner Streightif was notified,
and upon examining the premises found
no indication of suicide. The wife is posi-
tive that death was accidental.
About 8 o'clock last night McShane
came home and retired Immediately to
his room. He had evidently read and
smoked some time before going to sleep,
and in putting out the lights had 4eft bolh
gas jets partly turned on.
Mrs, McShane scouts the idea OF suicide,
as her hus band mad on many occasions $
condemned self-destruction as the act OF a
coward. Although h s brother killed HIM
self by shooting several years ago, he
himself always di~approved OF such a
course, and when he read in the papers
| about suicides he almost invariably de-
nounCed that act as unma manly.
The dec ased was comparatively young
man, 80 years of age, and was in easy cir
| cumstances His domestic relations were
| happy. Beside the widow, he leaves
| five young children. His wife was for
merIy Miss Matte Harrington OF Berkeley.
J. S. McShane wa born in Ireland, but
came to California when a boy. He saved
| enough as clerk in n large San Francisco
! importiD g house to enable HIM 10 go into
| business on his own account. He went to
| Yokohama and EN- barked in wholesale
| silk importing. In eight years he
amassed a considerable fortune and re-
| turned from the Orient, taxing up his
residence at BerKeley.
About six years ago he formed a part
nership with r. T. Kennedy OF Berke ey,
and the firm estab isned a large dry-goods 5
store at the corner of Thirteenth and
Broadway, Oakland. The venture proved
unprofitab and the firm retired. Nc
Shane claimed that he lost $45, coo in the
business.
The deceased was the owner OF consid-
erabie property in Berkeley, &c uding a
numper OF houses recently erected on
Telegraph avenue, near Claiming way.
One OF these he occupied at the time OF
his death.
The inquest over the body OF the dead
man was he'd at his late re- -idence this
| evening at o'clock. The Coroner's jury
returned a verdict of accidental death.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, +!

9O8 Broad way, Nov. -.
Rev. Edwards Davis of the Central
Christian Church has determined to sever
his connection with his congregation on
the 1st of January. His announcement
has caused some surprise but was not al
together unexpected. About two months
ago an effort was made to consolidate the
two Christian Churches of this city. A
plan was proposed which it was hop9d
would bring about the union, but it was
blocked at the Central Church. Rev.
Glenn McWilliams of the First Church
was 80 sore at the proceedings that he re-
signed and went TO pastorate IN some
other part of the State.
Mr.. Davis has received no call, nor does
he yet know what he viii do in the future.
He has attained great notorietv and some
popularity on account Of his radical de-
partures from all that is conventional in
the pulpit and the church. He has sue
ceeded in building up the Central Church
10 great degree, and was general favor
ite with he members. 1t is hlrted that

which line he has met with some success.
while the statement is also quietly whls-
pered that his dramatic talent would
guarantee IOr MIN success on INC stage
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Davis mad
agreed to perform a marriage ceremony
in a den of lions in San Francisco, but the
publ cation OF the matter created so much
un pleasant feeling at his church that he
Withdrew, giving as his reason that he
was not aware al the time the agreement
was nj ade it was to be q public ceremony
where people paid for admission, and tha I
il was not TO be a genuine but only mock
marriage. No one for moment dreamed
that Mr.. Davis would be scared by The
presence OF few owing lions and his
Secretary, who made the arrangem ents
for the wedding, said to-day that the

understood the pastor's views.

FINDS AN OLD
COLONIAL NOTE
J. W. Dutton Will Try and
Solve a Problem of the
Last Century.
A Card Worth IL Shillings in
the Days When Dollars
Were Unknown.
For Two Generations It Was Hidden
in an Ancient Book on
Poetry.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI

908 Broadway, Nov. 90.
J. w. Dutton has an interesting little
task on hand which will necessitate some
CORES pondence with the Federal Govern
ment. A fex days ago while exploring an
old book published in 1889. and which has
been n his family for several generations,
Mr.. Dutton found a colonial note OF the
value of twelve shillings.
The note is an interesting little thing,
and was issued by the authority of the
New Jersey Colonial Government in
March, 1916, and was one OF the last issued
prior to the signing of the Declaration OF
Independence. He has submitted it TO
experts, and there is no doubt whatever
az TO its being genuine
1t bears the signatures in writing OF
three parties whose names it is tflcult to
decipher, more especially as the ink is al
most as yellow as the paper. On the back
of it is toe mbIem of the old New Jersey
colony and in old English letters the sig
nidcant hint 80 counterfeit This is death"
What is interesting to Mr.. Dutton s. the
question whether any provision had been
made by the Federal Govern ment for the
payment OF the just debts of the old col
I
for him to redeem his certificate. Mr.. Dut-
ton is q great student of the science oi
governments, and declares that although
his colonial note is worth more than l.
| skillings as a relic, he Is anxious to see in
what condition affairs are under the Cir
cumstances. His idea is to find out
whether the present Government assumed
all the res possibilities OF the old colonial
government or If the present State gov
ernment of New Jersey made a provision
in 1916 or when its State government was
placed on q stable foundation to redeem
| the colonial paper.
Mr.. Duttons grandfather was a per-
sonal acquaintance of George Wash
ington, and lived In Connecticut at the
time OF the Revolution. The old book in
! which the note was found has been in the
| family for two generations and is a trea-
! Use on epic poems and poetry in general,
and it was through the rules jor com posi-
| tion laid down IL the book that J. W.
| Dutton was enabled TO obtain the high
standard he now occupies as a poet.
When telling the story of his find to-
day Mr.. Dutton repeated the old tale o1
KING Georse putting the bankno ote in the
| peasant Bible, and said that il its pres
| ence in the book were due to a similar cir
cumstance his venerable ancestor had
! been BADLY fooled
