Great Loss to San Francisco.
(By Associated Press,)


SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, August 15.-
The sudden death Of Charles Fair and
his wife by the collapse Of their automo-
bile near Evroux, France yesterday.
means a great loss to San Francisco.
Just before his departure for Europe in
May last Charles Fair had practically
completed plans for $4,000, 900 worth of i'm
provements to the Fair property in this
city. and it was his intention on his re-
turn from his sojourn in Europe to sign
contracts for the work in contemplation.
The matter of the disposition of the es-
tates of the dead millionaire and his
wife have given rise to some little specu-
lation as to what will become of Charles
Fairs portion Of his deceased fathers i'm
mense holdings. 1t is known that a. very
short time ago both Mr.. and Mrs Fair
made wills, disposing of their separate
holdings and the community property,
but just what the documents provide for
A1essrs. Knight and Haggerty, the at
torneys of Charles Fair, do not feel at
liberty to make public at this time.
Mrs. Fair was possessed Of property to
the value of $3.50, 600 and it is thought her
will bequeaths Of her holdings to rela-
tives in New Jersey, but in the event Of
evidence being adduced that Charles
Fair succumbed to his injuries first, Mrs.
Fairs interest in the community prop
erty will naturally revert to her heirs,
and it is this point on which the DISPOSE
ton of the millionaire's estate largely
depends.

PARIS, Aug. 15-The fatal accident 70
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair is the sensation OF inc
city and the leading topic OF conversation
among American residents and In auto
mobile circles.
The manager OF the firm which sold
Mr.. Fair the automobile in which he met
his death declared in an interview TO
day that he had more than once warned
Mr.. Fair that he was too lmpruoene.
He said Mr.. Fair had the speed mad
ness, and had met with an accident the
last part of June, when he collided with
another automobile on the Avenue des
Champs Elysees, in Paris. but luckily
no one was killed.
81 attribute the accident" said the
manager Of the firm, ''to the condition
of the road where the disaster hap
pened. At this point there is a steep and
treacherous incline, down which Mr.. Fair
must have gone at full speed, and his
automobile. which was capable of run
ming about 6S miles on the flat, would
then have attained a speed Of from
eigthy-seven to ninety-three miles an
hour. Mr.. Fair was not skilful driver
like w K. Vanderbilt, Jr. In fact he
had not driven an automobile very much
prior to purchasing this machine from
u.s.
Mr.. Fournier, who Is member Of the
firm in question, has gone to Evreua
Word has been received from him by
telegraph asking for wagon to trans
port the wreckage Of Mr.. Fairs automo-
bile. He says the condition of the Fair
chauffeur is much more serious than was
at first reported.
Dispatches received here concerning the
disaster do not indicate whether Mr.. or
Mrs. Fair expired first. Their bodies were
embalmed and placed in collins to-day,
after which they were shipped to Paris
whence they will be taken to San Fran
cisco.
The chauffeur said to-day that before the
accident he noticed the tire of the left
hind wheel Of the machine was debated
and that the rim of the wheel was rub
bling on the ground. He told Mr.. Fair,
who tried to stop. and the accident fol-
lowed. Peasants who saw the automobile
say it was going at such terrific pace
at some points that it was impossible to
distinguish its color. The firm that sold
Mr.. Fairethe automobile last June says
he paid $4,000 for it, and ordered an
other at the same price to be of sixty
horsepower. The second machine was
almost ready for delivery
Mr.. Fair was passiona tely fond Of auto

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Speaking Of the education of the negro.
a recent incident in this city is worthy
of more than passing notice:
William Hankins tcolored), for a long
time doorkeeper of the State Library,
died, and Mr.. W. ". Scott, State Libra
rian, addressed communication to The
Times; in which he paid high tribute
to the character of this well known coli
ored citizen. We think it not inappro-
pirate to reproduce the greater part OF
Mr. SCOTS communication. After men
tioning the death of the colored man;
he said:
He was appointed to that position in
1856, and had held it continuously to the
day Of his sudden death, except only for
the years during which he was a cap
tain in the United States army in the
war. with Spain and the Philippine Is
lands. He won an excellent name as
an officer from his superiors in COM
1nand, and when the volunteer troops
were mustered out was offered a lieu
tenancy in the regular service, which
he declined.
Though he had filled, and filled very
creditabIy, SO dignified and responsible
position in the army, when he returned
last year to his post as doorkeeper, he
was the same polite. obliging and eff
cient William, unspoiled by his dignities
and broader minded from his travel and
experiences in the wider arena.
l do choose to compare him with men
of his own race, but without any hesi-
tation affirm that in comparison with
the great mass Of the white people he
would be at no disadvantages He was
closely under my eye for six years; I
never saw him do an iingra cioi:s thing;
nor ortherwise than ai!iiable, kindly, gem
tleinan-like He was acredit not only to his
race, but to Virginia civilization as well,
and his untimeiy deathat the age of forty
one IS a matter to be greatly deplored.

held was Appropriately manifested by

THE ASSEMBLY BUILDING.

A. conference on Wednesday last
ne a number of citizens interested in the
proposed assembly building in this city.
a committee was appointed on the plan
and scope, with Mr.. 5. +. johnson as
chairman, This committee represents the
Wednesday Club, the Art Club, the Ed
ucation Society, the Lyceum and the
Academy of Medicine. 1t is hoped, and
believed that other organizations will be
induced to take part.
The committee will report on next
Fraay to the conference, and 1T is hoped
that in the meantime some definite plan
will have been formed. The committee
is desirous of having suggestions from
any citizen or citizens who may have
the enterprise at heart, and such ci,i-
zens are requested to confer IN person
or to communicate by letter with MT
Johnson. or with any other member OF
the committee.
There is every reason to peileEe that
il this building be erected at the right
Mace and in the right way. the revenue
~ he derived will be sufficiently large
+o make a. handsome return on the IN
yestment. On that basis there ought
NOT to be any difficulty whatever IN
raising the necessary money and IN hav-
ing the building well under way wlthln

tcrtained doubt that the convention had
tho right to proclaim. and we have no

the Constitution to be defeated
II is best to do it this way. The whole

the subject is the best.
And now a word with our fellow Demo-
Gratis throughout the State This is our

our work Let us not find fault with the
work of our convention. Let us stand

IN MEMORIAM.

No flower ever wastes its fragrance
on the desert air.
The fragrance of the flower Is the eS-
nression of its praise and gratitude to
its Creator; and no such tribute Is ever
wasted.
No more do we waste our sweetest and
most glorious flowers when we weave
them into garlands and place them rev.
erently and affectionately upon the
graves of our dead soldiers In gray.
These be the expression of our praise
and gratitude TO those who gave their
lives for principle and for country.
We scatter the roses and we say that
these are for glory. We give heliotrope
for devotion, and aoneysuckle for f1del-
ity. and sweet William for gallantry. and
voilets for modesty, and pansies for re-
membrance.
Moreover, the flowers are significant
of the resurrection, when the dead shah
be raised incorruptible and received into
heavenly places
