of Woman's Rights.

At the California Hotel there arrived

Suffrage Association, and Mary g. Hay,
secretary of the same committee.
The two ladies came from Oregon.
where they have been for some time past
attending to the interests of their sex
in the matter of the suffrage amendment
now pending in that State
Mrs. Gait has not been here since 1896,
when she came out to the coast to use
her influence in behalf of the suffrage
amendment in this State, which move
ment was defeated notwithstanding her
influence exerted in It's behalf.
Mrs. Gait and her secretary came out
this time to attend the meeting of the
State Woman's Suffrage Association,
which is to take place at Golden Gate
Hall on Sutter street in the near future
Mrs. Gait is looked upon as the one on
whom the mantle of Susan B. Anthony
will fall es soon as that redoubtable
leader relinquishes the gavel which she
has welded so long and so ably Mrs
Gait is said to be eminently fitted for the
position which she may so soon be called
upon to fill. Gifted with charming
personality. absolute fearlessness, a
quick, bright mind and splendid executive
ability, she combines those traits with q
carefully trained diplomacy and marked
oratorical ability, making In herself a foe
worthy the steel of the strongest opponent
that the opposite sex can put forward to
do battle against the ambitions of the
gentler portion of humanity.
Mrs. Gait was born in Ripon, Wis. in

IMPORTANT TO HoMEsTEADERs.
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
That May Affect Many.

In filing a declaration of homestead a
person must comply with the strict let
ter of the statute in order that the prop
erty may be protected from forced sale.
This Is the substance of decision handed
down yesterday by the Supreme Court in
the suit of r. NJ. Reid and wife against
the Englehart-Davidson Mercantile Com
pany to quiet title to their home in San
Bernardino County.
The case is of more than passing
note, because it brings out point in law
which may have been overlooked by thou
sands of homestead holders The mer-
camille company recovered judgment in a
Justice Court and Reid's interest was sold
company buying in the property.
Reid and his wife brought action to
quiet title, setting up the claim that the
land was protected by homestead. They
won their case.
In discussing the case on appeal JUS
tice Harrison recites that the declaration
made by E. NJ. Reid reads: IT hereby
declare that l am married, and that | do
now actually reside with my family on
that certain land, etc"
The statute sets forth that a homestead
not exceeding $4,000 in value may be Sc
lected and claimed by any head of a
to state that he was the head of family
and the statement II hereby declare that
] am married" Is defective in not show
ing that he is the head of a family. In
other words, "the Legislature has pre-
scribed certain formalities and conditions
which are essential to the selection of a
homestead, and which formalities and
conditions cannot be disregarded by
courts" The judgment was reversed.

TO TEST THE LAW
Can Courts Enforce Penalties for

ReSerVationsP

Peter and John Manta and w. H.
Wright, sheep herders, pleaded guilty in
the United States District Court yester-
day of having unlawfully grazed their
sheep on the United States Forestry Re
serve in Stanislaus County. Judge de
Haven fined them S25 each, and they paid
the fine. Judge de Haven made the sig

enforce any penalty for an infraction Of
the regulations of the Department of the
Interior. he would have his doubts
The matter will be tested in the United
States courts in this city shortly. J. Eche-
verria a sheep owner, has been arrested
on a similar complaint for disregarding
the prohibition by the Secretary of the In
terror against the pasturing of sheep on
Government forest reservations. His at
torney is engaged in filing a demurrer TO
the indictment, and will plead that Con-
gress has no power to delegate to the Sec
retary of the Interior the authority to fix
a penalty for the violation of a regulation
of the department. The sheep men COM
plain that the regulation legislates against
them as Il class, while cattle raisers are
allowed to Craze their cattle all over Gov

90S Broadway, Nov. l.
Therese c, McFeely is now at liberty to
follow her husbands advice and marry
again. She has been divorced from James
Z. Merely, who deserted her over four
years ago.
Merely had no idea when he wrote q
certain letter to his wife from Vallejo
that it would be used in a manner such as
to make him pay her an additional
monthly allowance. In this letter Nc
Feely calmly says he is tired of working
for the benefit of his wife and three chill
dren and he prefers to blow his money in
on himself. He suggests to his wife that
if she doesn't like the treatment he gave
her when they were living together she
had better go and seek another husband
and ruin his life, as she had ruined Nc
Feely's.
According to the wife's statements the
treatment Merely accorded her in the
past is such as would very likely induce
her TO seek a change. His chief pastime
scanned to be getting intoxicated and beat
ing his wife. Once he changed his pro-
gramme by kicking her while she was at
tending to her baby, nine days old.
On another occasion Mrs. McFeely tim
idly suggested TO her husband that it was
not the proper thing for him to be rum
ming around with another woman and
spending his money on her while his own
children We're going barefooted. This so
angered the husband that he threatened
to bring in the other woman and let her
horsewhip his wife while he laughed at
the pastime.

LONG LIFE Of
CAPTAIN BADGER
EBB|NG AWAY
Rewarded Years Ago
for Bravery.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

sV6 Broadway, NOV. l.
Captain Thomas w. Badger is seriously
Ill at his home in East Oakland, and but
little hope is entertained for his recov
cry. The captain is one of the best known
pioneers of this city, and indeed at one
time owned large portion Of the terri
I tory on which modern Oakland is built.
He is an old sailor-pioneer, having fol-
lowed a life at sea until he landed In
San Francisco on the 9Th of August. 1S49.
For a long while he engaged in the ship
ping business in San Francisco, and had
vessels trading all over the coast until
1872, when he retired from that business
and interested himself in his public park
at Brooklyn, East Oakland, which he
purchased in 1861. Eleven years later he
| commenced building his great pavilion at
Badgers Park, and after an expenditure
of $4,000 Badgers Grand Central Park
was thrown open to the public. The re-
suit was an Immediate success, and his
park, dancing hall. ten-pin alley, mu-
scum, amphitheater menagerie. flower
garden and sailing pond were very ex-
tensively patronized until they were de-
stroyed by fire many years ago.
One of the most valued possessions
of the old captain was presented to him
scribed for by citizens 'in token of their
high appreciation of Captain Badgers
conduct on board the. steamer Central
ill-fated vessel" The steamer was on
trip from Aspinwall to New York and in
rough weather was wrecked. Her cap
tain and officers were among the lost and
Captain Badger assumed management
Of the foundering steamer, which he kept
afioat until relief came from a Nor
wegian bark. To his efforts was attrib-
uted the saving of nearly 200 lives. On
arriving at New York the citizens at once
subscribed to give him memento of their
recognition of his bravery, and he could
just as easily have had a large sum of
money as a silver trumpet, but he de-
cllned, although in the wreck he lost
$50 900 in coin which he had made in Cal
ifornia-
Under the administration of Governor
Haight Captain Badger was a Pilot Com
missioner of San Francisco. and held the
office for many years. His large hold
ings have very materially decreased, and
about two years when the City Council
proposed to make some very extensive i'm
provements neal, Badgers, Park the old
captain appeared before that body and
said that if the Council were determined
to carry out these improvements IT
would bankrupt him entirely. He closed
a very. earnest appeal by telling them
that after he was gone would be time
enough to go ahead with the proposed
work.

Many of Clark's friends predict that he

his majority at 1000. Clark is so confident
of success that he intends TO rest, so to
speak until the day Of the election
