MRS. NELSON IN
 SAN FRANCISCO
MOTHER OF THE LATE MRS. FAIR GOES TO SEE ABOUT THE BIG ESTATE OF THE MILLIoNAIRE's WIFE.

San Francisco. August 2S.-Mrs Hannah Nelson, mother of the late Mrs. c. l.. Fair, has arrived here from her home in Newmarket. N. J. She Is accompanied by her son, A. G. Nelson, of Plainfield, N J. Mrs Nelson, who is 70 years of age, was greatly fatigued by her journey across the continent.
 Charles J. Smith of Boulder Creek, Col, a brother of the late Mrs. Fair, and Fred Fowler, nephew of Mrs. Fair by mar riage, with his wife, are also here.
 Mrs. Nelson declined to talk for pub lication. but to Joseph Harvey, life long friend of Charles Fair, she said:
 T don't care much what becomes of my share of the estate, but I do want to see my children get all they are en- titled to-"
 A. G. Nelson said:
 ''There will be no contest between my mother and MT. Smith of Colorado. He is my half brother. Of course my moth- CT will go into court, but the legal mat ters rest with her counsel altogether. She will ask for letters of administration on the estate and for that reason we intend to take up our residence in San Francisco.
 My mother" he continued, I've re- gard as the sole heir. so there will be no contest so far as we are concerned" :"
 There will be no contest at all,' re- marked Joseph Harvey, who was pres ent. "The whole matter will be settled out of court and anyhow nothing defi- nite has been decided on."
 The Call says: 'It Is not generally known that the Fairs will authorize Her man Oelrichs to inform the relatives of Mrs. Fair that they can take possession of certain properties of her estate. To this estate will also probably be added a sum of money. What the amount will be has not yet been settled upon. The

DoHERTYs NEAR FINALS.
May Add Another Event to Their
 String of Victories.

Newport, R. l.. August 23.-The two English tennis players. R. F. and H. L.. aoherty, are getting dangerously near the finals in the national championship in singles. and the possibility of one oI them adding this event to the champion ship ir doubles grows better every day. Both won their matches today with al- most commanding ease, II. l.. Donerty, already the champion of all England, de- feating H. F. Allen of Philadelphia in straight gets, while his brother was dis posing of VI. J. Ccthier, also of the Quaker City, in three sets to one. L. F. Ware of Boston and L. H. Larned stand between these two foreigners in the semi firal round, and 1t looks as if neither of the Americans can stop this onward march. Should these two matches be de- cided in favor of the IGnglishmen. one of the brothers will withdraw
 The important question today at the conclusion of the play was which would continue and meet M. D. Whitman. a former American champion, m the finals. The general opinion seemed to be that tho eloer brother. R. r. Doherty, would wish for one more chance at Whitman, and by defeating hirn, retrieve the prestige lost in the Davis international cup contest at Bay Ridge. There seems 10 pe a feeling that Whitman alone stands between the Englishmen and the championship.

MINERS ARE JUST
 AS FIRM AS EVER
MITCHELL SAYS HE IS NOT GOING TO HOLD CONFERENCE WITH OFFICERS OF COAL CARRYING ROADS.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, August 23.-Presi- today He said he was not going to New York to hold a conference with any of the presidents of the coal-carrying rail- roads. So far as he knews the situation was unchanged. "The miners nc said, "are just as firm now as the first day they went on strike"
 'I am just as confident as ever, too," continued the chief officer of the strik- ing army, that we are going to win. ''
 MT. Mitchell denied that he was in communication with Bishop Potter. but bitration providing it could be secured by honorable means When asked if he had an engagement to meet United States Senators Quay and Penrose, MT. Mitchell replied in the negative.
 The close of the fifteenth week of the strike shows that the operators have made some gains in the Wyoming region. The output of coal has been larger than at any time since the strike began, but all the big mines are still idle and from what can be learned the miners show little inclination to return to work.

Confused the Hostesses.

The maharjah has causeud London hostesses endless confusion by having the name of his special god printed on his visiting cards above his own. Various smart women were hurt by not receiving answers to their invitations until it was discovered that they had been addressed to the god instead of to the maharjah. The embarkation of the maharjah's bag gage to Dover caused sensation among the provincials, especially the removal from the train to the steamer of an image Buddah and cooper vessels containing sacred Ganges' water, which was carried out by the priests of the suit with great ceremonial. Among the maharjah's bag gage was bassinet a bicycle. horse and a small tricycle..

Wanted a Hunting Trophy.

The eastern visitor expressed a desire to take back a hunting trophy, so King Edward granted him permission to have a shot at the bucks of the royal herd. The animals are in fine condition and all most tame enough to permit of stroking them, so the shah will have no difficulty in securing antlers. The last of the In- dian potentates. the Maharjah of Jaipur sailed for his home Friday, though off, cialy he commenced his journey home ward by deputy on Monday. It is custo- mary for the maharjah, before starting on more important journeys to consult the state astrologist as to whether the planets are favorable. The astrologer ad- vised the maharjah to depart Monday but as it was inconvenient to do so the maharjah determined to trick the planets and deputized his aide-de-camp and some members of his suit to start and await him at Dover

Among his bag gage is a big balloon The Indian princes have disappeared and with the departure of the Shah of Persia Monday, London will be bereft of it's last show visitor.
 The west end of London. from a so- ciety point of view, is a desert. The members of the royal family, the cab met ministers and the foreign diplomats are scattered and all those with money enough to enable them to do so have fled to the moors, river or various con- tinental hotel resorts. Twenty-one West End clubs aggregating a membership of nearly 5000 are closed for renovation and the shuttered houses of Mayfair add to the general gloominess. There Is talk, however, of a second season" com ing of parliament, and the return of King Edward to town.
 Shah Attracts Attention.
 The Shah has been the object of much attention on the part of newspapers for a week past and while 1t is a motted point whether the monarch is really en- toying himself, certainly social and off cial London have spared no pains to that end. The rounds of entertainments provided for him included everything of light and showy character from a visit to the wax works to a big review of artillery at Woodwich, while the short intervals were filled up with con versations on political matters, such as Russian attempts to secure ports on the Persian gulf, the fulfillment of which would necessitate large additions to the British fleet in Indian waters.
 The Persions jewels were an intending source of gossip. A jewel merchant who was present at the shah's reception Tues day estimated that if the gems the mon arch was then wearing were put up at auction, they would fetch $3, 750,O00 Today arrangements have been made for the shah to go deer-stalking in Windsor great park
