ArkwrIaht,s Gift to Humanity.

An English writer has said of Ger.

his inventions have, conferred in
finitely more real benefit on his own
country than she could have derived
from the absolute dominion of Mexico
and Peru, they have been universally
productive Of wealth and enjoyment.
This genius was Sir Richard Ark
wright and his inventions were in the
cotton spinning industry. He was
born in 1882. turned from wig-making
when the trade fell off, became enor-
mously wealthy, was made peer, and
died in the sixtieth year Of his age.

An Alpine Mirage.

A marvellous display Of atmospheric
reflection peculiar to the Alps was.
Witnessed the other day by passengers
in the Paris Frankfort express. Short
ly after leaving Metz a wonderful
panorama developed in the horizon on
the western side. The sun, seemed to
light up the whole Alpine chain, the
great mass of Mont Blanc stood out
clearly marked. It's sides covered with
snow and its glaciers rejecting the
sunbeams AT one moment the lake
of Geneva was Visible, its water
tinged greenish blue. The mirage
faded only at sunset as the train
neared Faulquemont. 1t had lasted
about twenty minutes.

ACTORS WIFE IS
GIVEN DIVORCE.

Mrs. Gertrude Toland daughter of
Mrs. Cynthia Keeling of Berkeley, was
granted divorce yesterday by Judge
Graham from Huge Toland, the we'll
known actor and former prominent
young society man OF San Francisco,
who is now playing in New York City
Allegations of desertion and failure to
provide were made the basis of Mrs
Toland's complaint, but although she
alleged that Toland receives a salary
of $4OO week, she simply asked for
the interlocutory decree of divorce, and
no alfmony was awarded.
Hugo Toland is the son of the late
DR., Toland. for many years the head
of the Toland Medical College, and
was well known in local society cir
cles before going on the stage He is
now the leading man in the New York
production of the play 'On Broadway"
and is at present in that city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Toland were married in Beverley,
N. j., June 8. 1901, and were together
until January, 1905, when Mrs. To1and
declares that he deserted her She says
that he has contributed nothing to her
support since April 8, 1905, and that
she has made her home with her moth
er in Berkeley, and been dependent
upon her for support. Toland was not
represented at the trial yesterday and
the decree was granted by default
Esther Jacobson was granted di-
vorce from Samuel Jacobson in Judge
Hebbards court on the ground of de-
sertion, and Annie f. Read was given
a decree from Walter W. Read in Judge
Graham's court on the ground of cru
city

CASE ADVANCED ON
HUMANITY PLEA,

Briefs were filed yesterday in the
State Supreme Court in case of such
Importance, as well as of unusual char
acter, that 1t has been advanced be-
tween two and three years on the CAL
endar, and will be decided some time
before Christmas. The case is that of
John and Roma Paxton against their
parents. Blitz w. and Bessie z. Paxton,
for support although the mothers
name is simply used as a matter of
convenience to prevent the case being
taken out of the city The decision in
the case will pass on the constitution
ality of the law providing that veal
thy parents must support their help
less adult children
John Paxton is a banker of Santa
Rosa, and for many years past has
been considered a very wealthy man.
Since the time he and his wife were
divorced there has been a constant
fight in the courts to force him to sup
port the children, and the matter has
received more than ordinary publicity.
Both children have passed 21 years of
age, but both are helpless, John being
blind and his sister, Roma, being an
invalid. So needful have they been for
financial assistance that last winter a
public benefit was given by philan-
thropic people in one of the local thea
ters for them.
When the Superior Court of San
Francisco decided in favor of the chill
dren, the father appealed the case to
the Supreme Court, and it would have
had to await it's turn for a hearing,
which would delay it a long period
had it not been explained to the court
that the matter must be settled at an
early date to keep the helpless chill
dren from want This is said to be the
first case Of personal nature that has
been advanced in the calendar of the
Supreme Court.
Charles f. Hanlon is the attorney for
the children, and in the brief he filed
yesterday he attacks the father with
strong language, branding him as in
human and unnatural. The defense will
endeavor to prove that the father can
not afford to support the children

TWO MEN ATTEMPT
To ROB WOMAN.
Mrs. Swisbourne, Refugee,
Escapes From Ruffians
Through Arrival of Man
LURK IN THE BRUSH

Two thugs lurking in the shadow of
a cluster of brush near Alvords bridge,
in Golden Gate Park. sprang from their
hiding place shortly before midnight
Wednesday and attempted to hold up
Mrs. Mary Swisbourne as she was re-
turning to her home in one of the refu-
gee camps.
ing some friends and after leaving the
car at Stanyan street started hurriedly
for her tent. Upon reaching the bridge
she noticed two men standing near
some brush and fearing that they did
not mean well she darted to the other
side of the road
She proceeded on her way for several
feet and upon looking back was horri-
fed to see that the two men had left
their hiding place and were following
her. She fastened her footsteps. but
the men continued to follow her and
had almost caught up with her when
the sound of buggy startled them and
they leaped into some brush by the
roadside
The buggy approached on the oppo-
site road and after it had passed the
men again attempted to overtake the
lone woman. Mrs. Swisbourne had by
this time reached the vicinity of her
tent and was just bent upon opening
the flaps when the ruff1ans reached her
The man described as being the
smaller of the two laid a restraining
hand on her shoulder. when R. A. Nc
Gowan, who also resides in the park,
appeared on the scene and the thugs
were frightened away. MCGOWAN gave
chase, but to no avail, as the men cas-
lily disappeared in the shrubbery.
Fearing notoriety and as she escaped
unharmed the woman begged her res
cuer not to inform the police, and up
to a late hour last night no report had
been made at headquarters
Mrs Swisbourne was burned out at
the time of the April disaster and
since then has dwelt among hundreds
of other unfortunates in one of the
camps.
This is the second attempted hold
up in this vicinity in ten days Sunday
night. October Is, I. Katie was at
tackled near the bridge and brutally
beaten. The thugs attempted to wrench
diamond ring from his finger after
having knocked him down, but were
frightened awaye by several pedestrians
who came along and gave chase.
Katie, who is railroad man en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific, was
also held up while going to his home
on Turk street by two thieves Hat
less and breathless he ran to the O'Far-
rell-street station, where he reported
the holdup to the police.
