Beginning at. g. o'clock in the morning the hour at which the office of the Col : :lector; of Internal Revenue was thrown open for business yesterday, there was a ; file of about 200 men in front of the of fee waiting to purchase war stamps up to 8 o'clock, he.closing hour. Some lines of stamps gave. out. and will be sup piled this. morning, but at the close of business yesterday there was a good SUD- ply of 50 '25, 8 and l cent documentary stamps left. The amount sold during the day was nearly s4S ,000
 Restaurant men and grocers who sell California and French claret by the bot tie besieged the office with inquiries as to whether they were obliged to place stamps on the bottles of claret which they serve to their patrons at 10 cents per bot tie or free with meals. Special Revenue Agent Thomas replied that the value of the wine cut no figure, and that bottles of wine given with French dinners would have to be stamped equally with cham pagne or Lachrima Christi, at the rate of q 1-cent stamp for every pint bottle ana 2 cents for every quart bottle every time 1t was rehlled. In answer to the 'qGes- tion whether wine could be served 'or sold in glass pitchers and similar vessels other than bottles without being stamped, MT. Thomas said that the tax was only on bottled wine. and that restaurant men and grocers could sell it in glasses, tin measures or pitchers without any stamps. He further announced that he had writ ten to Washington for information as to whether a demijohn can be considered as a bottle. MT. Thomas is of the opinion that"a demijohn should not be considered as a. bottle in this connection, but he pre- fers to have the opinion of the depart ment If it should be in favor of the bottle theory a 2-cent stamp will be sufficient for a demijohn of no matter what capacity. Otherwise, wine may be drawn from a barrel into a glass or pitcher and no tax need be paid

SENATOR FAIR ESTATE. The Legal Advisers of His Daughters Will Receive Large Fees.

The contracts between Mrs. Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia M Fair, daughters of the late James G. Fair, and their legal advisers, Lloyd 6 Wood and Garber, Bishop & Wheeler, have been placed on record. The contracts were entered into February 15, 1885, and would not have been made public now were it not for the fact that the interested parties were anxious to save the war tax of 50 cents imposed on each $100 valuation of the sum involved in contracts hereafter recorded. The law went into effect yesterday, and in consequence, the Recorders office has been kept busy for several days past. IL is roughly estimated that they have saved $10,O0O by placing their deeds, mort gages and contracts on record.
 The contracts between Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair provide that their legal ad- visers shall receive 5 per cent of Senator Fairs estate in the event of the trust clause of his will being declared invalid. In the event of other action being taken both firms are to receive per cent of the income of the properties for five years after the decree of final distribution,

THERE WAS NO
 DEBT TO COLLECT MISS CLARK .. WILL DEMAND SATISFACTION. Will Follow Up Her Attack With a Curtain Pole by an Appeal to the Courts if Neces-
 sary.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call


 sos Broadway, July l. Miss Clark, the superintendent of the Woman's Exchange, intends to secure a complete vindication through the courts if necessary. from the debt collectors and Constable who raided the Exchange a week ago and arrested her for battery. Miss Clark admitted driving Constable Won Kapff and Attorney Heaton iron, the Womans Exchange with a curtain pole. Judge Allen. in the Police Court, commended her stand, but expressed his regret that she had not made better use of her weapon.
 Miss Clark says that the alleged debt which the intruders attempted to collect by snatching her watch and purse has no. existence. and she will try to collect upon the Exchange.
 Some time ago." says Miss Clark to- day, .an insurance solicitor visited me and tried to induce me to take out a life do so, but he was very persistent and finally assured me that l was taking no risk in signing. an application. I signed what l believed to be forma' appIica- ton for a: policy, but which I was as- sured made me responsible for no pay ment. Some time later these debt col lectors visited me and assured me that had signed a note for a certain amount of money. I denied having done SO but they persecuted me for several weeks Finally I understand they brought sllit to recover. Before coming to fhe Exe change to levy the attachment, they com municated with the treasurer and presi- dent of the Exchange and were plainly told by those ladies that I was merely an employe here without any interest in the Exchange, and that even if I did owe any money there was nothing at the Exchange to attach in satisfaction of the judgment.
 Even after this they came to the Ex- change, and not until they. began to seize everything in sight did I drive them 
 The ladies on the board of directors of the Exchange believe that their super intendent has been very unjustly and H. 1t to be. known that they are prepared to give her moral support in vindicating her rights.
