~sutional features that will be presented
in the contest over the estate of the
late Jacob u. Davis, the San Francisco
millionaire, phiIanthropist and patron

Davis was born in Philadelphia. and

Of these was a desire to collect the re-
mains Of his relatives in the old

over SO, 900 in erecting white marble
headstones over their graves. He also
caused to be built an addition to the

ture that he died in October last, at the
Continental hotel.

the Academy of Sciences, and took a
deep interest in the state mining bu-
reau. During his life he not only ave
them a great deal of money, but made
them presents Of s~tatuary and rare
minerals.
On the night of his death, it is stated,
Davis sent for John Senderling. a rela-
