THE LADIES TO THE FORE
NATIVE DAUGHTERS PROMISE
TO CAPTURE ALL HONORS.

There Is going to be something doing
down San Jose way the latter part of the
week In which the Native Sons will figure
to considerable extent. They expect to
be the center of attraction, but they will
not, for several hundred Native Daugh-
tiers are going along, and naturally the
boys will be in the discard when the girls
break into the game.
Every one of the twenty-five parlors in
San Francisco and the six across the bay
are making the most elaborate prepara-
lions for the Admission day celebration.
This has come to be known as Native
Sons day, but in truth ought to be called
Native Daughters day. for the ladies

HOW BROWNE AND
BRUNE ARE BROTHERS
A Loving Mother-in-Law Accounts
for the Difference in Their
Names

That Robert S. Browne and Clarence
NJ. Bruno are brothers, and brothers who
love one another very dearly, was ac-
knowledged last night by Mrs futile,
who Is proud of the fact that she Is the
mother-in-law of Clarence.
'I do not know much about either of
the boys" she said, nor do 1 know much
of Clarences past history. l am his moth
er-in-law, but have tried to be a good
mother-in-law, SO / never asked any
questions 1 know that he is the dearest
boy on earth. and has always been a very
loving and devoted husband.
How is it that he and his brother go
under different names? Why, that is the
simplest thing in the world to explain.
When he graduated from Harvard he had
a longing for histrionic glory, and under
the name of Bruno went on the stage. OF
course, he was a success on the stage,
and 1t was while playing in Montana that
he met my youngest daughter, who was
then with the Frohmans. They fell madly
in love with each other, and on their mar
rage both decided to quit the stage, al
though they had been very successful
Through friends at court he received
an appointment in service of the Govern
ment where he has been very success

my handsome Son-in-law, and don't you
think I have right to be?
/ know that his work has always been
very satisfactory. I hear that through
my daughters, but as l believe in attend
ing strictly to my own affairs / know
very little about him. He calls to see me
frequently, but never talks about his past
life or affairs, and have never taken the
trouble to ask him. | am sure If did he

the day when they will rise to positions

Did either of the boys ever live In
Idaho?' was asked.
We'll, now really, that is something I
/ said before, / attend strictly to things
which Immediately concern me, and 1
don't even know where their home was.
LAS to the difference in their names,
that is an everyday occurrence. The great
majority of the people who go on the
stage change their names, and Clarence
just thought 1t would be too much
trouble and too confusing to his friends
to go back to the original Browne, SO
he kept it Bruno. Browne is awfully
commonplace, anyway, and Bruno is
little more distinguished"

Will, doubtless remain unless 1t is re-
moved to be returned to Bruno in the
event of a suit for the recovery Of prop
erty is carried to a successful issue by
Byrne.
Shortly after the failure of the
bank as a natural sequence, a receiver
was appointed in the person of w. H.
Stuffebaum. The affairs of the bank
were found by Comptroller Eckels to
be in such rotten condition that it
was necessary to levy an assessment
of 500 share. This assessment the
receiver of the bank endeavored to col
lect by suit. The first suit was insti-
tuted against De Lashmutt. He held
loo shares, and the assessment on them
aggregated $4,000 De Lashmutt an
swered, setting up the facts of the
fraud which had been perpetrated
upon him. The Government filed de-
murrer to the answer and the case
went to trial before Judge Bellinger OF
the Circuit Court of Oregon. The Gov
ernment's demurrer was overruled by
the court and the opinion overruling
the demurrer eXcoriated the perpetra-
tors of the fraud. The court said, in
the Introductory paragraph: One who
is induced by fraud to purchase stock
of an insolvent national bank, and
have it transferred to him on the books
Of the bank, and who, upon discovery
of the fraud, takes prompt action to
rescind the contract, is not liable to as
sessment on such stock, except on be-
half Of persons who extended credit to
the bank, after the transfer, without
knowledge of the fraud
In the closing paragraph the court
held that in the case at bar the facts,
as disclosed by the separate defense,
show that De Lashmutt acted with
promptness upon discovering the fraud
that had been perpetrated on him, in
proceedings to disaffirm the contract
under which he took the stock, and he
brought suit to cancel that contract
and recover back the consideration
paid by him before this assessment was

Z. NJ. BRUNE.
This was the last letter received from
Bruno On February 1, 1897, four days
after it was written, the Moscow National
Bank failed and closed its doors and sus-
pended business and payment, and re-
ceiver was placed in charge thereof, under
the Federal laws. Said receiver found the
bank in an insolvent condition and the
stock worthless and on June IA, 1887, an
assessment of $1O0 per share was levied
on said stock by the Comptroller OF the
Currency of the United States.
The last letter is believed to be, even
though others had not been written, suffi-
cient grounds for the prosecution of
Bruno, and it will be used as evidence
against him in event he. as defendant,
appears before the courts.

HABANA via KEY WEST, March 10
Troops left Matanzas city yesterday to
make a reconnaissance Of the Cuban
coast to the eastern extremity OF the
island.
Miss Clara Barton, after calling upon
Captain-General Blanco, at his sugges-
ton visited the heads OF the Colonial
Government. The Autonomists treated
her with such distinguished courtesy that
she preached to them the subject OF the
allotment of lands to poor Cubans' en-
gaging to furnish their houses from
America and also to superintend any
colonies thus formed. She was told that
the matter would be carefully considered.
After she had left the officials they
said: eve are Spanish; does she think
she can make Yankees Of US? Her desire
must be to Amercanize the Creoles."
At a meeting held at the Palace yes
terday Of the commission appointed to
secure funds for the Spanish navy, Cap
tain-General Blanco was elected presi-
dent. He said he would use all Of his
influence 10 induce all Of the ofhcials-
military, civil, and municipal-to make
monthly contributions TO augment the
naval fund.
The function in aid of the navy, which
takes place tonight at the Tacon Inca
ire. will. il Is believed, realize more than
500. 600 in gold. For single admission
TO the gallery a cigar manufacturer OF
Habana paid $500. The smallest price
for general admission is $40 in gold.
News Of the result Of the interview be-
tween General Pando and other dele
gates and General Calixto Garcia; Senior
Masso. President Of the Cuban republic,
and other insurgent leaders. Is anxiously
awaited here. There IL no change In the
belief held by the best-posted men that
all the propositions looking to the laying
down OF their arms by the insurgents
were rejected. There is no doubt that
conference was held; but, owing TO the
distance from Habana. and also TO the
lack OF post-office facilities, the result
IS not yet known. Meanwhile, all mill
tary operations in that part or santa
Clara province have been suspended.

General Pando had left Ciego de Avila,
and was proceeding 10 the eastward,
probably with Puerto Principe as his
destination.
One 6-inch gun and a valuable cable
were recovered to-day from the wreck of
the Maine. The bodies OF two OF the
Maine victims were sent to Key West
this afternoon on the steamer Oliyette.
