Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

908 Broadway, Aug. b.
After struggling to carry on Home
for Children for a couple of years, and
doing much good work, Mrs. W. W.
Ayres of this city has just inherited
fortune of $50 ,OOO Some years ago the
Ayres family heard that an uncle. then
residing in England, had accumulated
great wealth and had made will leav-
ing a generous portion to his niece. Lit
tie confidence was placed in the story,
but last week a number of documents
were received in Oakland, all bearing red
seals and blue ribbons and ornamented
with her Britannia Majesty's lions and
uniforms, setting forth that the estate
was being settled and that Mrs. AyreS
share was $50 900.
There is yet a procession of red-tape
formalities to be followed before any or
the British gold will reach this country,
but it is an actual fact, atteSted by lew
barristers and Queens counselors:
that the soveregns are in the Bank of
England awaiting distribution.
Many years ago the grandfather OF Mrs:
Ayres died, leaving a large sum of
money in the Bank of England in trust
for his two sons, who were to receive the
interest thereon. At the death of one of
the heirs the whole income was TO be
enjoyed by the survivor, and at the lat
ters death the estate was to be distrib-
uted among the heirs of the old gentle
man. Both sons are dead, and the estate
is now ready for distribution.
w. w Ayres was superintendent of the
beet sugar factory at Salinas, and about
a year ago he went TO the klondlke to
hunt for gold His wife opened the Hope
of Love for Children in this city, and
afterward transferred it to the Mission
in San Francisco. A few weeks ago she
closed it up. owing to lack of support. a
few days later she received notice of her
unexpected good luck.
Nothing has been heard of Mr.. Ayres
for several months, and fear is enter
tanned for his safety.

EMILE MARQUE PASSES
AWAY AT ELMHURST
AGED FRENCH JOURNALISTS
CAREER AT AN END.
Staunch Friends Provide for Him in
His Adversely and Comfort Him
in the Declining Years
of His Life.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

90S Broadway, Aug. O.
Emile Marque. journalist and ingulst.
than whom there was perhaps no French
man better known in California, passed
away quite suddenly about I o clock this
morning at Elmhurst
Time was when the deceased shone re-
spIendent in the field Of French journal
ism in San Francisco, possessing wealth,
comfort and friends, but his caustic pen,
with which he vigorously assailed all
whom he viewed as wrOngdOers and OBJ
struCtionists to the best interests of the
French citizens of this State, finally
proved his undoing and left him in his
old age poor and bereft Of many of his
influential friends.
In his earlier days he was a true Bo-
hemian, yet temperate and charitable in
all things save in the use of his Vitriolic
pen, with which he spared not even his
closest friends who failed to conform to
his view of what was right and just. He
was a member of the French Hospital
Society in San Francisco and La League
Rationale. yet during the hospital contro-
versy some years ago he attacked with
furious energy friend and enemy alike.
But Withal he was looked upon by the
French colony in San Francisco as man
of honest convictions.
AT one time he was a writer on the
Franco Californian, and later for several
years he published paper ,1 called IL. lie
Betlt OdllIOEHleu. Will dll once dl Iilt
junction of Montgomery avenue and
Montgomery street.
Though poor in his declining years, he
would not beg though the door of the
almshouse stood gaping at him.
Before I go there" he once said 81
will step behind the last bush in the path
of my journey and there sit down and
die"
During the last few years he was a suf-
ferer from Bright's disease, and some
time ago a coterie of his most ardent ad-
mirers provided him with a cosy little
home at Elmhurst, where in quiet and
solitude he might spend his last days.
There death came to him this morning.
No sooner was his death made known
than friends hurried from San Francisco
to take charge of the remains and pro-
vide a decent funeral, which will prob
ably take place in San Francisco and
which promises to be very largely attend
ed. The interment will probably be at
Laured Hill Cemetery.
Emile Marque was a widower. aged 73
years. and had resided forty-fiVe years in
California.

This shows that not until 1S9S-the year
in which Mr. Dalton again presented HIM
self for election-did he reduce the as
sessment roll, and then he cut on over
months before the nominating convention
met.
This is no controversy with Mr.. Dali
ton, but I have stated that there is al
together too much dust-throwing in the
matter of assessments and tax levies. and
these figures of Mr.. Dalton's bear out
the statement. 1t is surprising that a
man If his shrewdness should have given
out figures that admit of such easy anal
ysis. Mr.. Dalton has made a good Asses
sor, but when a public officer parades his
virtues he creates the impression that
they have been assumed for political pur-
poses only, and that is humiliating.
