ANOTHER WILL
NOW OFFERED
Document Executed by
Kershow Filed by
Contestants.

The viii made by Max Kershow in Phil
adelphia in July, 1893, was offered in evil
dence yesterday in Department of the
Superior Court, where the trial of the con-
test Of the will purported to have been
made in this city is being held The
Philadelphia document, when first exc
cuted bequeathed to an aunt of Max Ker-
show $1,000 and the rest and residue of the
estate in trust for Carleton Kershow, a
brother, and Edward and J. Henry Ker-
show, uncles Of the deceased The Phila-
delphia Trust. Safe and Deposit COMPANY
was named as trustee. A codicil made IN
February, 1898, revoked the paragraph in
the body Of the will and placed the trust
fund in the hands Of ]. Henry Kershow
one Of the uncles.
Attorney Rix spent the entire day in
probing into the characters Of the wit
nesses to the contested will and men
who associated with the Yale man while
he lived in this city. Detectives Balm
bridge and Dillon testified that A. J.
Meadows. one Of the subscribing wit
integrity, and Judge Fritz, who was asked
concerning the reputation Of Jules Gam
age, said:
He is a friend of mine, but do not
think he bears a good reputa ton"
One of the features of the proceedings
Attorneys RiX and Tauszky called each
other names. Invitations "to come OUT
side" and such expressions as you are
bluf1ng' and you can't bluff me- occur
red with such frequency that the bailiff
of the court removed the paddock placed
by the orders Of Judge Coffey on the gate
which affords ingress to the clerks desk
and behind which the bailiffs sit. The at
torneys. however, did not come to blows.
The case will be on trial again to-day.

BOOTBLACk ROBS
MANY SOLDIERS
Masquerades in the Uni
form Of a Caval-
ryman.
Charles Royzen Sentenced to
Six Months in the
County Jail.

Charles Royzen. who has been masquer-
aiding as a cavalryman, appeared before
Judge Fritz yesterday on the charge Of
petty larceny. He pleaded guilty and said
he would waive time for sentence. The
Judge promptly sentenced him to serve
six months in the County Jail.
Royzen is a bootblack from Chicago.
He came here recently by beating" his
way on freight trains He made acQuain-
tances in the dance halls and saloons on
Pacific street and hit upon the scheme
of maSQuerading in a cavalry uniform and
enticing soldiers to the resorts on the
Barbary Coast, where if they did not lose
take them to a lodging house and do the
job himself.
Complaints were soon made by duped
soldiers at police headquarters and De-
tective I. B. Gibson was detailed on the
case. Robert O. Parker, who had two
watches stolen from him by Royzen in a
lodging house on Kearny street, was one
of the cOmplainantS and when Royzen
heard of it he had the audacity to make
a charge at the Preside that Parker was
in the habit of stealing shirts from the
stores and Parker was thrown into the
guard house till an investigation could be
made.
Gibson, accompanied by a policeman,
went to a dance hall on Pacific street
Saturday night and 1ound Royzen in the
midst of a group of soldiers. He was
taken to the City Prison and booked on
the charge of petty larceny for stealing
Parker's watches which were worth less
than $50.
that Royzen robbed him of a diamond
ring and other articles in a Kearny street
lodging house and there are many others
who make complaints. RoyZen may yet
be prosecuted on the charge made by Hofr-
man if the police can find the diamond
ring

The Chattanooga Medicine Co., the manu-
facturers of McElree's Wine of CarduI and
Thedfords Black-Draught, have just issued the

DRUMMERS ENJOY
NIGHT At T|vOLI
Fifth Annual Benefit of
Association Proves a
Great Success.

It was a gala night at the Tivoli last
night, the occasion being the fifth an
nual benefit of the San Francisco Com
mercial Travellers Association. The
suave gentlemen of the road were out in
force. as the packed house testified.
Every drummer had his lady and alto
gether the audience was one of the most
interesting that has gathered in that ia
vorite temple of song in many a day.
Preparatory to the reception of the as
sociation's guests of the evening the dec
orators took charge of the interior. and
their skillful handiwork was evidenced in
a beautiful grouping of'flags, bannerettes.
festoons and association devices on the
balcony rails, boxes and prOScenlum arcn.
The draping of the decorations was artiS-
tic and the coloring resembled the glow
Of summers sunset. The insignia of
the association was conspicuously, dis
played, and during the presentation of

give an enterta inment annually the pur-
pose being not only to enrich the Golfers
of the organization in aid of its charita-
BILE and beneficial work but to bring the
membership into closer fraternal relation
ship with one another. The entertain
ments have uniformly been highly sue
cessful. as is indeed most everything the
commercial men attempt. The affair of
last night lacked in no respect. the fea-
lures of the events of former years-good
fellowship, bonhomie and warm enthusi-
aSm.
The opera was hugely enjoyed by the
audience. as the hearty applause testified.
The local hits, and particularly the jokes
rung in on leading members of the asso-
Gig ton. were enthusiastically received.
The principals of the cast entered into
the spirit of the occasion, the result be-
ing a very enjoyable performance. Praise
is due Florence Chapman, Annie Myers,

Henry Harke Leaves His Money il
Hotel Safe Before Viewing At
%roofionS of Gifu

Henry Harke, an ex-soldier who recent
ly returned from the Philippines, cleverly
outwitted a couple of footpads who held
him up Monday night near the corner of
Third and Market streets. In the early
part of the evening Harke started out to
vious to his departure for the East. When
he commenced his trip about town, he
had $640 and a ticket for the East in
his pockets. The thugs learned of the
fact that the eX-soldier was carrying a
large sum of money with him and planned
to hold him up. Harke noticed that he
was being followed and becoming sus-
picious went to the Winchester Hotel and
deposited his cash in the hotel safe
The footpads still continued to shadow
the ex-soldier, not knowing that he had
left his money in safe keeping. When they
held him up later in the evening all they
secured was his ticket for the East and
the receipt for the money which he had
denosited at the hotel

Thankful

We all have something to be
thankful for.
DO you ever stop to think how
much better off you are than
the average person in any other
part of the world.
Are there many of US hungry
and begging for employment?
Do We have to look forward
with dread to the cold winter,
which takes all we have saved
in the summer, to keep US from
freezing:
How about the neat little
home you occupy. with the
beautiful open-air life?
Some of US may feel blue this
year because we foolishly
speculated, but do not let that
discourage you. 1t was an ex-
pensive lesson, but you will be
more careful in the future.
With your family and friends
around you next Thursday you
Will require a few more articles
for your table, such as Meat

GERS. TumbIers. Beer and Wine

Forks, Spoons, etc.

your entire satisfaction.

George r. Carter viii umpire the
game, and c. a. Elston will act as
referee.
On account of being required at the
Capitol grounds. the band will not
play at the game.
The game promises to be a very good
one, as two very evenly weighted
teams which play much the same foot
| ball oppose each other. Then, again,
the winner of today's game looks to
have a clear field to the championship,
and this will certainly be productive
of the keenest kind of playing.
The league record Of the teams is:
II. A. c. O. Male nimas 0.
Punahou Sc, Artillery 0.
Punahou 0, Male IlimaS o.
After today's game the remaining
games of the league are between the
HonoIuIus and Artillery, and the Male
Ilimas and Artillery. The Punahous
close their season with today's con-
test
The Punahou team is the same as in
previous matches. Cunha at center is
an innovation in the Honolulu's line
up, and should prove a tower of
strength. Henry Cockett's absence at
guard will be sadly felt, however.
Barry at left end and Thompson at
quarter are the other changes in the
team.
. During the past few days Coolidge
has succeeded Rawlins as coach of the
Honolulu Athletic Club players.
The Punahous were decided favOrites
last night.
The argument ut up is that the Ho-
nolulus and Males played a tie, Meth
er side scoring. Then the Males met
improved game could not do better
than obtain a pointless draw. Unless
the Honolulus have improved on par
with the Males the PunahOus should
beat them tomorrow.
The Males football readily lends
itself to almost unrecognizable inn
provement. while the article put up by
the Honolulus is not susceptible of any
startling betterment. The Males play
a varied game. and with them, it is
only a question of ability To carry out
strategy. The Honolulus and Puma
hous, on the other hand, especially the
former, are unstrategetic in their play,
and rely on straight football to carry
them through. Their somewhat limit
ed repertoire of plays is soon perfected
and with two heavy teams playing the
same game, and that game equally
we'll from a technical standpoint, con-
dition and dash will decide the issue,
and the Punahous look to possess these
two qualifications in a greater degree
than their opponents.
In a kicking game the Punahous
have all the better of the argument,
for while BlaisdeIl is very good man
for his weight. Soper outclasses him.
