COMING MECHANICS FAIR.
Exhibits From the Interior May Be
Leading Feature.

The first regular meeting of the new
board of directors of the Mechanics Insti-
tute was held last evening. Rodney Ken
drick, vice president, presided in the abb
sence of President Denicke.
The book committee recommended that
books to the amount of 1887 be purchased,
and the librarian reported seventeen new
members since March /.
The subject of the Mechanics Fair to
be opened on September 2 was debated at
length. 1t has been the purpose of the di-
rectors to make It to some extent a colo
NAL exposition and gather exhibits from
the Philippine Islands. In pursuance of
this proposition letters have been written,
which viii be submitted to-day to Major
General Shafter for indorsement. asking
Of the Government that the exhibits be
transported free of cost on homecoming
Government vessels.
Horace Wilson offered a resolution to in
clude prize exhibits from the several
counties of the State. He supported his
proposal by stating that the fair held in
1887, which was the most successful ever
given by the Institute was contributed to
from all portions of the State. He said
that by September the interest in the Pa
ctf1c islands might be waning, and that
something of an attractive nature should
be arranged on which to base the adver-
tisements Of the fair. His resolution was
adopted and referred to the management

HAINES MISSION, Alaska, March
10.-Somebody here, said to be a man
named Campbell, who has now gone up
the Porcupine trail, has given out that
he has received letter from Washing
ton, D. c., stating that the land grant
of $40 acres supposed to have been
made by Congress for the benefit of the
Presbyterian Indian mission here was
never made at all. About two weeks
ago part of the missions square mile of
land was Jumped" much to the con-
sternation of Rev. Mr. Warren, the
missionary in charge. Since the report
of the receipt of the Campbell letter the
mission land has been Jumped" right
and left, while the little missionary
herd looked on with clasped hands in
mute protest.
The mission grant compoSes the most
level and slightly location on the pc
ninsula between Chilkat and Chilkoot
inlets, and in the event that Haines
Mission continues to grow at the pres,
ent rate 1t will be a most valuable
property before many months.
Haines Mission is a booming frontier
town with tents, barbed wire fences
and new shacks, and a few more pre-
tentious buildings. Several large ships
from the Sound put In mere, and the
regular steamers from Juneau and

GERMANTOWN, March 21.-This is
L story Of a German girl who for ten
years has been keeping out of sight OF
g. fortune-hiding while wealth went IN
search of her. Wiebge Glinderman,
who calls herself Sophie Glinderman,
left Hohenaspe, Germany, in 1882. She
arrived in San Francisco and took up
her abode with her cousin William OF
the firm of Glinderman Sweitzer,
watchmakers and jewellers, on the cor
ner of Third and Market She soon
went to work, however, and in 1887 re-
turned to the land of her nativity with
about S25O0, the fruits Of her toll dur
ing the six years Of her stay In Cali
lorna.
The next year she returned to the
Golden State, and from that time to
within the last few days her where
abouts remained a mystery. Although
she knew where her relatives were,
they could not find her. Great efforts
were made through advertising and
otherwise but no trace of the missing
woman could be discovered.
About a month ago H. Hinrichs of
this place, whose wife is sick, sought
the services Of nurse. In answer to
his call for assistance came Wiebge
Glindernan.
Some time ago her parents, who were
still in Germany, died, leaving an es-
tate, of which her share amounts to
over $25, 000 Besides this, Miss Gin
derman has $4,000 in the German Saw
ings Bank of San Francisco and va
rious other sums invested to good ad-
vantage. Had she known of her larger
fortune in the old country she proba-
bly, would not have kept in hiding here.
She knew that Mrs. John Duhr a
cousin, resided in Germantown, Glenn
County, but the map which she con-
suited must have been out Of date, as
on it Germantown was still marked in
Colusa County. Had it not been for
this mistake on her part there is no
telling when her relatives would have
received intelligence Of her where>
abouts.
Besides her cousin William and her
cousin, Mrs Duhr, she has cousin,
Mrs. Augusta Laubscher. of San Fran
cisco; two other cousins, John Climber
man, late Of San Francisco, but now Of
Spokane, Wash, and Mrs. Lizzie
Smidt, a grocer on Taylor street, San
Francisco; and an uncle, Claus Haden-
feldt, wholesale jeweler, whose place of
business is on Suffer street in San
Francisco.
Miss Glinderman started for San
Francisco to-day. She told her rela-
tives here that she would, upon her
arrival in the city, go Immediately to
her cousin Williams place of business,
but after her eccentric career Of the
past ten years, her relatives fear that
she will again secrete herself from

GOOD INSURANCE LAW
FOR DELINQUENTS
SUPREME COURT AGAINST SNAP
JUDGMENT.
An Agent Can Extend Time on Pay
ments of Prerniums-The Com
pany Bound by His Act.

A decision OF no small Importance was
was rendered by the Supreme Court yes
terday. Mrs Alice l.. Knarston, wldoW'
brought an action against the Manhattan
Life Insurance Company Of New YORK 10
recover upon policy of life insurance
taken out by her husband, deceased. The
defense was that the policy had become
forfeited prior to the death of the insured
by reason of the non-payment OF the
fourth semi-annual payment. Inc pre-
MUM became, due on November ID, $3.50,
but when the company's collector called
Knarston was away from his place OF
business. The collector called again on
the following day, with like results, and
a Mr.. Gilmore, representing the insured,
called upon General Manager LanderS of
the company and asked for an extension
of time to November "A, which was grant
ed. On the 25th and 9th the collector
called again, but was unable to find
Knarston, and on December the latter
was killed in a railroad accident.
In the lower court the insurance COM
pany was successful. The Supreme Court
took different view of the matter. re-
versed the judgment of the lower court
and ordered new trial The court states
that two important questions are in
volved The first is. May general agent
ditions Of policy and extend the time
of payment of a premium The court
holds with other authorities that he may
waive conditions either in writing or YER
bally, and the employer is bound by the
act of the agent, unless special restric-
lions are placed upon the latter.
The widow contended that the company
waived the payment of the premium at
the time it became due under the policy,
and hence there was no forfeiture of the
policy. at the time of Knarstons death.
The Supreme Court considers that this
contention has full support in the law,
and adds: 1.-THE law does not like for
FIXTURES and evidence tending to show the
waiver of a forfeiture will be looked upon
with kindly eyes"
The acknowledgment Of the general
manager that he would have accepted
payment up to the time of the death of
insured had much to do with the reversal
