Senator AIiison's Modesty.

Senator. Allison of Iowa is said to have
refused a greater number Of high offices
which have been rendered him than any
man in politics to-day. Three times he
has been asked to accept the treasury
portfolio, and once also he refused to be-
come secretary Of state, one Of the great
est honors this country can confer. In al
most every case the man whom he recon-
mended for the position has been accepted
by, the president. The advice Of men like
Allison naturally carries weight and the

ties on physical culture to use golden

COMMISSIONERS
TALK TURKEY
Birds Must Be Had at Any
Price for Christmas Dinner
at Napa Insane Asylum

The inmates of the Napa State Hos
pital for the Insane may not be as ra-
tional in a general sense as their fell
low beings outside of that institution,
but on the special topic of turkey their
process of reasoning cannot be ques-
toned. Owing to the lack of funds and
the high price of birds, turkey was not
served at the Thanksgiving dinner at
the asylum in this year of grace. The
patients and the help noted the def
cheney in the dinner. The comment took
on the form of remonstrance and there
was a disposition to hold the State ad-
ministration responsible for the failure.
The subject was discussed at a meet
ing of the State Commission in Lunacy
day before yesterday, and the Commits
sioners advised DR.. Elmer r. Stone,
superintendent of the Napa Asylum,
to go ahead, regardless of expense, and
provide a bountecus supply Of turkeys
for Christmas dinner at the asylum.
DR.. Stone, now having authority to ex
ceed the regular allowance in this spe-
cial instance, proposes to go ahead with
preparations for the Christmas feast.
He is on the lookout for turkeys and
will capture them, dead or alive.
The directors of the Veterans Home
noted with some surprise that the
Thanksgiving dinner at that institu-
tion cost $500. as the price Of turkey
ranged from "a to 30 cents a pound. A
proposition to go slow on preparations
for the Christmas dinner did not ap-
peal to the boards sense Of piety or
patriotism. 1t was determined to du-
plicate the Thanksgiving feast so far
as turkeys were concerned and to add
several other good things to the feast.

Z. c. Schnabel Asks Court to

suit for an injunction restraining
jackson Hatch from conveying back to
Clara Schnabel the property he has
held in trust for her since November.
1896, was filed yesterday by E. C.
Schnabel. her son. He alleges that if
his mother gets back the control Of the
property he may lose the income Of $50
a month he has enjoyed since Hatch
took control of it, and bases his suit
on the ground that his mother. in MAX
ing the trust deed, provided that it
should remain under Hatch's control
until her death, at which time il was TO
be distributed TO her four children in
equal shares.
The suit reveals the fact that the
plaintiff is the only one Of the Schnabel
children VINO is dissatisfied The other
three, z. II. Schnabel, Emma Koenig
and Erna Sachse. have refused to join
with him in his efforts to prevent Mrs
Schnabel from again securing the con-
troll Of the property left her by her hus-
band. Ernest Schnabel, and are made
defendants in the suit. Their inter
ests. however. are identical with those
Of the plaintiff, each being a beneficiary
to the extent Of $50 a month under the
present arrangements.
It appears that the Schnabel estate
consists Of realty Of great value in this
city, Los Angeles and Santa Clara
County. In deciding it to Hatch Mrs
Schnabel provided that he should hold
it in trust until her death, or until
such time as she determined to termi-
nate the trust. During the existence Of
the trust he was to receive SIS a month
for his services and was to make her a
monthly allowance Of $3.50 out of the in
come from the property. He was also
TO pay eacn Of her four children $50 a
month.
Recently. according to the complaint
Mrs. Schnabel showed a desire to han
die the property herself, much 10 the
disgust Of her son, and he states that
he fears that if the property is decided
back to her by Hatch she viii put an
end to his allowance and make a
change in her plan to give it to her
children upon her death.
