plea for his client, asserting that the
opposition had not been able 10 shake the
firm foundation of his clients position.
and said that if DR.. James were here de-
Tending q suit for breach of promise he
would be stopped in his defense in the
face of the conclusive evidence presented
by Mrs. James.
Attorney Aylette R. Cotton also spoke
feelingly for the putative widow. He
said she lad been subjected to every in
suit and indignity that the ingenuity OF
the opposition could devise. After pro-
pounding the grounds of his clients
claim, he exclaimed: So we start out
in this case with circumstances consti-
tuting a hypothesis perfect in its pro-
portions and paragonal in its probabil-
ity."
He said that cloud of witnesses had
testified to the fondness of DR.. jane for
the little woman who afterwa ard became
his wife by contract. He did not think
the briefness of the courtship cut any fig
ure. The testimony in regard TO substan-
tial gifts from DR.. James to tie claimant
showed that be regarded her as his wife.
He gave her shoes, stockings and under
clothing and silk dresses. He argued
that no man would give woman under
clothing unless he regarded her as his
wife, or intended to make her such.
burne responded that DR.. James never
gave the clothes to Miss Laura Milen, some
times called Mrs. James, but that he sold
them to her just as he sold other clothing
to her stepmother. The clothing belonged
to DR.. James dead wife, Mr.. Shad burne
said, and the doctor had tried to sell the
articles to other women in the case, but
they refused to buy.
Mr.. Shad burne denounced the so-called
marriage contract as a forgery and read
the testimony of one witness who showed
that the pretended signature of DR.. James
was tracing. He said that the contract
was put in DR.. James desk after the
papers had been searched through and
examined by Mr.. Claim and Attorney Her
rim, neither of whom saw the paper, for
the very good reason that it was not there
when DR.. James died.
He wanted TO know what DR.. James
would be doing with the marriage con-
tract If one existed. In the Sharon case
and other cases the Supreme Court had
decided that a marriage contract is pre-
sumably for the protection of the woman
in the case. Here the matter was re-
versed. What protection did DR.. James
want that he should take the marriage
contract and lock it In his desk? He de-
nounced the entire suit as an audacious
attempt by sirens and adventuresses to
defraud the rightful heirs OF the dea
man, his nephews and nieces, for whom
he had great affection. who would be left
without a cent if the villainous scheme
should succeed.
Attorney Hart argued thu case on be-
half of Mrs. James last night, beginning
at 7 o'ciock, special session Of the courl
being granted for that purpose. Mr.. Hart
denounced Mr. Shadburne.s declarations
and insinuations as false, and thought
that his summing of the case had beer
weak and illogical.

WANTS HER MANDOLIN.
A Young Woman Charges Justice Car
roll With Keeping an Instrument
She Placed in His Care.

She Placed in His Care.
A rather curious case was tried before
the Grand Jury yesterday. 1t came up
on a communication filed by Miss A.
Gitbon.
Miss Gibbon charged Justice of the
Peace Carroll with retaining, to his own
use and benefit, a mandolin which she had
placed in his care and keeping pending
the disposition of suit at law brought
against her for its recovery by the person
from whom she ha purchased it.
She set forth in the commun ication that
she bought the mandolin from her
teacher, Professor Signor G.. Cipolloni:
that its price was $3.50; that she had partly
paid tor it when the professor broug bit
suit against her to recover the instru-
meft. That was year ago. The case is
now pending before Judge Cook, but the
attorneys on neither side show any dispo-
sition to bring the case to trial aud the
case shows signs of drag ging indefinitely.
In the meantime Miss Gibbon coyets
her mandolin. and has sought Justice
Carroll to return it to her. but he has re-
fused, declaring he is responsible to the
court for its keeping until the case is de-
cided. He responded to the call OF the
Grand Jury to explain tho matter yester-
day. and took the mandolin with him,
Miss Gibbon was out of the City. and
therefore did not have a chance to tell her
end OF the story, but will be heard next
Tuesday.

The Second Night of the
Opera Season a
Success.
Prevost's High Notes Bring

The Company Has Rested From Its
Journey and the Singers Are
in Excellent Voice.

Subscribers who stayed away from the
opera last night on account of the change
of bill missed more than they ina aginrd.
for I'll Trovatore," hackneyed as it is.
was so much better performed than
"L'Africaine" on the opening night that
the old Verdi work was far the more en-
joyable of the two. This is easily under
stood, for on Wednesday the performers
had just arrived from long and trying
journey and were hampered by un-
familiar surroundings, and last night all
were fresh and felt at home on the stage.
Nine. Feeder. the prima donna OF
"L'Africaine," appeared last night as
"Leonora" and entirely conquered the
sympathies of the audience in her first
scene. She looked as pretty and grdcieatse
with a white skin and her own hair as she
had looked forbidding in her dusky
m make-up as SelIka. Her voice too showed
the beneficial influence Of two days rest,
and she was applauded again and again
for her singing, which was especially
sweet anu iimpid in the upper notes.
The newcomers in the cast were h.
Provost and Nine. Fremeaux. Benati,
both OF whom are sure to add consider
ably to the popularity of the com pany.
Provost, who played Manrico, has not
such a pleasing all-round voice as Mas
sart, but he takes his high in the chest
register, Ia Tamagno, in way that
makes the audience rise 10 him. In the
first two acts there was no enthusiasm
displayed over him, but his opportunity
came with the 10 toi. mon seul tresor," in
the third act, and the tours de force
which he displayed with his high notes in
that aria established his reputation as a
favorite.
The curtain drops on the tenor's aria,
"Sauvez ma mere" and Prevost's high @
made such an impression that nothing
would satisfy the audience but having the
curtain up and hearing it over again.
Nine. Fremeaux-Benati is the first con.
tralto the company has put forward, Anna
in ..l'Africaine'a being nothing but COM
primario. In the role of Azucena Nine.
Fremeaux- Benati had fine opportunity
of showing her rich velvety voice, which
is dramatic in quality, and is at the same
time entirely devoid OF the narshIess
which SO often mars contraltos. Her sing
ing all through the opera aroused frequent
and hearty applause.
Another good point about Provost and
Fremeaux-Benati, in addition TO their
voices, is that they enunciate so clearly
that it is no effort to understand every
word they say, and the contralto excels in
recitative.
Henry Albers, the baryto fully re-
peated his success of Thursday night.
His Count di Luna was an artistic treat
throughout, and his singing OF LA peine
detre" was something to be remembered.
The minor parts were we'll sustained
and the male choruses were especially
good. The ballet in the third act was ex-
cellent and Mile. D. Consoii made great

John Felix's Daughters Ask
to Be Provided For
First.
He Has Given His Love and
Affection Over to His
Housekeeper.
Mrs. Louisa Mace Brings Suit for the
Support of Her Feeble.Minded
Sister.

John Felix, hale and hearty, although
matrimonial venture, to the chagrin OF his
TWO daughters, Mrs. Louisa Mace and her
sister. Annie Felix.
The latter is 26 years old and is still in
the age OF unreason, her sister, Mrs. Mace,
having been appointed her guardian by
the Superior Court on those grounds.
John Felix, the father, has penchant
for his housekeeper, Mary Fogel, who oc-
cupies with him paIatial residence at
1116 Pierce street, while the remainder OF
the family reside in a hum BILE cottage at
liz Ferry street, off Point Lobos road.
Mary Fogel. fat, fair and 40, is soon to
become Mrs. Felix. so the daughters say,
and they are anxious to have their pater-
nal parent do what they consider il right
by them before he weds.
In consequence suit was filed yester-
day in the Superior Court by Annie Felix,
through her guardian ad Item, Louisa
Mace, against John Felix, for an order TO
compel the latter to give reasonable
amount monthly for the support OF Annie
Felix, and lump sum as security for her
maintenance. The complainant also begs
tnat defendant be compelled to furnish
bonds for faithful performance OF his
duty.
II. H. Davis, the attorney, has taken mp
Annie Fex's case as matter of char
ity," he says. He states further that ''she
has no mother and is dependent upon the
charity OF friends. She is feeblem inded,
in delicate health and is without the
means to secure the necessaries of life.
Her health is so precarious that medical
assistance is in constant need and she has
not the means of procuring it."
John Felix. the defendant in the case, is
an employe of the M int, drawing roy
atty from the Government for valuable
patent and receiving salary OF $3.50 as
head melter and refiner. Mrs. Mace de-
ciares that part of this money should be
paid over to the support of the feeble
minded daughter.

PRICE OF WINE RAISED.
An Advance Of Cents a Gallon Made
by tho Winemakers' Cor
p0ratiOn.


A meeting of the California Wine Cor
poration was held yesterday in the Cham
ber OF Commerce rooms and the price OF
wine was advanced from 15 to 20 cents per
gallon. The corporation is com posed OF
nearly 500 members, and the proposed ad-
vance had been under consideration for
some time past.
The first business taken up was the old
fight with the Wine Association, in which
the corporation sued the association for
$50, 600 alleged to be due for wine sold the
association during the past year. The
correspondence was read relative to the
matter an. tue action was indorsed. The
matter of dissolving the old contract with
the association was left with the board of
directors with power TO act.
After little discussion it was decided
to raise the price of wine cents, also to
secure storage IN this City where members
can store their stock. It is the intention
of the corporation to tit up a storehouse
at q cost OF about 10000, and at the re-
quest of Vice President Kossi it was de-
cided to advocate q return to the Nc
Kinley tariff on wines as being for the
best interests ofthe wine men Of the State.
