KLOTz & GOLDMAN,
MISS GoULD's PLANS.
Sends Or. ToIman to Europe to Study
Social Conditions.

New York, March 8.-Miss Helen
Goulds plan for social study, preached
by her to the American Institute of Social
Service, was outlined today in the fol-
lowing statement, issued by the institute,
which, at Miss Gould's request, will send
abroad DR.. w. H. Toman, social econom-
list, to make a study of industrial and
social conditions In Europe.
DIR. w. II. Tolman, director of the
American Institute of Social Service, will
spend the summer in Europe to make a
study of the great movements for social
betterments of the institutions which
show the trend of human progress and
the industries. Every country, almost
every city in Europe, has some special
feature which the social economist Of
America can study with profit DR.. Toll
man will gather this material personally
and a photographer working under his
direction will secure pictures that will
form a complete series in illustrating the
most notable and typical achievements in
social betterment in each city. In this
way the American Institute of Social Ser
vice will be made more of point of con-
tact through which systematic and &C.
curate knowledge of present-day prob
lens in Europe can be brought to the
people of America

grand parents came from ireland to this
country about ninety years ago. Our
grandmother was Jane, daughter of

brother an admiral also. she was an eX-
tremely proud. but n well educated lady.
John. our grandfather and herself
brought with them two sons. my father,
David, age is months, and George about
six weeks. They settled near Lancaster
in Pennsylvania, and there they had
eight more children, which made in all
ten-David. George Robert. Samuel, Jane,
Hester. John, Mary, James and William.
Only three of the sons married David,
my father, George and William, your
father. Hester married in Pennsylvania
and died soon after. leaving no children.
Jane died l4any years since and left one

L wants ter tell dis here jury dat |
am one hundred and fifty years old"
Those in the courtroom smiled as this
statement came from the lips of an old
ante bellum negro woman Wednesday
afternoon as she sat n the witness box.
Mary Toliver's sanity was questioned
and she was indignant she asserted she
had as good a mind as anbo6y "and 90
God l would not tell story 'cause l am
a Methodist"
Because she thought Mary was spend
ing her money too freely her daughter,
Maria Eeasterling had asked the court
that her mother be declared insane. and
to appoint a guardian. She said Marys
property and cash were fast eDoing away
and she didn't like to see her world $
goods going so rapidly.
But Mary asserted her rights A look
of righteous indignation overspread her
black face, wrinkled with age, and her
bearing was of one to whom some great
calamity had come and to whom some
great injustice had been done by one
who ought to love her.
AS a matter of face Mary is about %
years old. Sne is certain, however, that
she is more than half a century over
that figure in point of age. but her rela-
tives assert she does not know.
The petition was heard by a jury in
Judge Stiles Probate court. Its verdict
was that Mary had a sound mind and
the petition was not granted
Mary was triumphant over her success
at the bar of justice
Il done tole you b'fore l am sane and dis
court knows it, too. | amt got no in
sanity bout me, | tells yer" remarked
Mary.
IN the stand Mary gave several inter-
esting experiences in the old war times.
She said she had been a slave of the Will
liams and McAdory families before she
was set free at the end of the war.
Mary Toliver is a type of the OLD negro
women who are fast passing away. She
is a representative of de ole black
nanny whose memories will in few
more years be the only reminder of the
days when they lived on the old planta-
lions and held full sway in matters of
household work.

JURY WILL HEAR
Of A BURGLARY
Roberts Suit Against
Fresno Democrat
on at MADEIRA.

MADEIRA, Sept. 22.-The case of Rob-
erts VS. the Fresno Democrat Publishing
Company was called in the Superior
Court here to-day. This action is brought
against the newspaper by Dick Roberts,
on account of an alleged libel published
in the Democrat about the beginning
of this year. Plaintiff considers that his
reputation was injured to the extent or
$4,000
At that time it was said that burglars
had broken into the homes of Roberts
and Sheriff Thurman. Young Roberts
gun and hat were found in the home of
the Sheriff after an unknown had made
his escape. The theory advanced in all
the stories that were sent out from Ma
dera at the time was that the outlaw had
first entered the Roberts home and stolen
the articles which he left in the Thur
man residence.
Some days after the Democrat sent
a man TO MADEIRA and a story followed
which inferred very strongly that Rob-
erts had himself carried that gun and hat
into the Thurman residence. On this
story Roberts bases his suit for dam
ages To-day was spent in securing a
jury.
