TIN BOX DID NOT HOLD
WILL OR EXPECTED FORTUNE
Administrators of McAIpin Estate
Tells of Fruitless Trip of. At
torney to Mexico.

tOilCI W hCAISOs
tin box in the possession of Alan
A. McAlpin when he died at Jiminez,
Mexico, was the object of fuitless
journey in quest of a supposed for
tune. The facts are set forth in the
report of John w. McAlpin, accom-
panying his final account as admins
traitor of Alan A. McAlpin's estate,
filed yesterday in the Superior Court.
The administrator states that he
had reason to believe that Alan A. Nc
Alpin had possessed considerable
property, and the tin box which Alan
had at the time of his death was sup
posed to contain valuable papers and
a will. The State of Chihuahua de-
clined to surrender the box or to fur
nish any information regarding its
contents, so the administrator sent H.
L. Paddock an attorney, to Mexico to
investigate. Paddock had a personal
acquaintance with Ygnacio Sepulveda,
legal adviser of President Porfirio
Diaz, and Sepulveda is said to have
deplored the bad state of affairs re-
garding the custody of the tin box
and assured Paddock that he would
have no more trouble in getting it.
Being thus assured Paddock ap
pointed a citizen of Mexico. w. H.
Searles, to look after the case, but
when Searles forwarded the contents
of the tin box it was found that there
was no will nor any evidences of a
fortune. So, according to the admin
istrator's report, the estate of Meal
pin consists only of $7S3 GA cash and
160 acres of land in San Luis Obispo
County, valued at $1,000.

An OLD FIDDLE
RECALLS PAST
Its Strains Bring Memories
of Days of Old, Days
of Gold, the Days of '49"

The same fiddle that squeaked on the
sidehils Of TuOlumne County in the
days Of old, the days of gold. the days
Of '4s," feebly echoed memories Of the
past al Golden Gate Park yesterday.
Circled about the gray-haired fiddler,
Jim Fuller. were men and women who
had heard the strains Of the battered
instrument when it inspired boisterous,
healthy amusement in the golden days.
Il brought back TO them the gulches
and the little cabins Of the mining
camps. While their children and their
grandchildren chartered merrily about
them they were silent, looking through
dim eyes back over the waste of yes
terday to the time when every one in
Tuolumne owned a million-in the
ground.
The old violin squeaked tales that
outdid anything in fiction. 1t told of
the big-armed miners, the true-hearted.
courageous pioneer women, of the all
absorbing quest of gold, OF loves and
fighting. Even the chattering Of those
who did not know grew subdued as the
venerable fiddler bowed over his instru-
nent in the Days Of Old"
Then gray-haired miners rose and,
leaning on their canes, spoke words
that even Bret Harte could not chron-
icle Twas out Of Chinese Camp.
Pete Smith, he was my pardner. Every
one here knows Pete. He's dead now
went I'D in a blast. Well, me and Pete
lived of the burro for a week. Then
We boiled the hoofs. Just when we was
trying TO chew the bones we struck it.
The dust lasted three weeks in Frisco
we had to throw some in the bay TO get
rid Of it. But we dumped it all. We
knew there was lots more in Tuol-
umne."
So ran the tales.
"reminiscences that thrilled and
brought tears to the eyes were told of
the old mining camps-Sonora, Jim
town. Shaws Flat, Scraperville, Pine
Log. Chinese Camp and Poverty Flat.
Each had its tale; all were worth hear
ing. The "Old Friends Of Tuolumne"
sviu meet again next year.
Among the prominent pioneers pres
ent were former Lieutenant Governor
guddison. 3. Mayer. J. A. Sampson.
Walter Gallagher, B. Conrad, Henry
85arter, Ad Hunter, James Homer,
Charles Rutherford and Daniel Sewell.

objects to Limiting Architecture.

The San Francisco Chapter of Arch
itects sent communication to the
Board of Supervisors yesterday OBJ
jecting to the suggestion made by Su-
pervisor Payot to have the school
houses to be erected under the bond
issue designed in the Mission style of
architecture. The architects contend
that 1t is inadvisable to limit the con-
struction of the buildings to a partic-
ular style of architecture. The chap
ter also advises against intrusting the
designing of the buildings to the mu-
nicipal architectural office on the
ground that it will result in medioc-
rity OF design and a repetition of de-
tail.

United States cruiser California,
twenty feet into the hold, sustaining

words in the item relating to sanitary measures
in the district known as Chinatown, to wit:
"A special committee OF the Board OF Super
visors with the advice Of" leaving the ex-
penditure Of the appropriation Of $4,000 to the
State and City Boards Of Health and the United
States Marine Hospital Service at this
port on the ground that such expenditure
should for best results properly be made oy
the various health authorities
In this connection also l wish to call the
attention of the board to the fact that no
civil service restrictions were attempted to be
placed on the employment OF the men VINO
were TO receive the moneys to be expended by
the special committee of the Board OF Super
visors for such work. although for similar
work by other departments civil service notl-
fcations limitations and restrictions were
literally applied. i.
I am also informed that the chairman OF
the Public Utilities Committee has employed
clerical help without application TO- or rec
ommendation by the Mayor or without the
affirmative vote of fourteen members OF the
Board OF Supervisors as required by the char
ter and that he has failed to select TIE same
from any civil service lists although In open
board a very fervent advocate OF the applica-
tion of civil service provisions to other munic-
IpaI departments and 1 am further informed
that one of his appontees is not resident OF
the CITY and county of San Francisco. BY
what right or authority the chairman of this
cornrnittee has created and appointed to public
nositions these employees l do not know.

Supervisors to override the SPECIFIC

sustained by the votes Of Finn, Rea,

lows:
1 wish to call the attention Of the members
of the board and also OF the people OF san
Francisco to the manifest petty political re
taliations and unconcealed hypocrisy wnien
are apparent in the construction and presenta-
tion of this budget. In every department or
officials who owe their appointment to the
Mayor of San Francisco the figures Of the ap-
preparation have been calculated with such
subtlety and with such restriction as seri-
ously to impair their efficient operation and
almost to cripple their administration. while in
departments controlled by the political col
leagues of the gentlemen VINO drafted the
budget Hberality and indeed extravagance are
easily to be found.

japanese conventionality. The master

and begans to draw either from a
model or his inner conciousness. His
pupils, squatting around him, watch

When his sketch is complete they en-
deavor to copy his production, and not
until a like effect in the same number
of strokes have been obtained, and can
be reproduced from memory may they
proceed to another subject. In this the
charming conventionality of Japan is
easily traced, although it's results are
not invariably happy, as when Hok-
usai painted that fabulously fmpos-
sible so-called horse, which all Japan
csc artists reverently copy to-day not
because they think it like horse, put
because Hokusai was considered such
a good painter of horse! on holidays
