AS Miss Herting the plaintiff was

Trouble soon followed the wedding.
The bride was subject to fits. and

medicine, gave her numerous potions,
all of which. according to her tesd-
mony, made her first dizzy and then
unconscious, but failed to effect a cure
Next Ehardt tried blows and then came

Documentary evidence supported the
wife's plea. She produced in court a
neatly written letter in which Ehardt
admitted that he had done wrong.

MODERN MERCHANDISING
IN THE MISSION DISTRICT
Newman Brothers Company's Meth
DDS Are Proving Boon to
the Householder

The popular impression firmly held
by many is that purchases by INSTALL
ments are from necessity or custom
considerably higher than If cash is paid
when the article is bought This i'm
preston has undoubtedly been well
founded from the experience OF many
people IN years gone by, but at the
present time, owing TO the wonderful
advances made in the science OF busi-
methods Of ascertaining the credit Of a
purchaser that losses are reduced to a
minimum Most people are honest, and
those who are not are easily located
and their trade refused.
When a purchasers credibility is
once established there is no Gore
reason TO place an excessive price upon
merchandise sold him under the install
ment plan than IL he paid a substantial
amount down and was given a few
months IN which to pay the balance.
Increased sales through the installrnent
system result IN greater profits than
large profits on a smaller number of
cash sales.
Working upon this theory Newman,
Brothers company of Eighteenth and
Mission streets has built up and Is
constantly increasing a business o.
magnitude IN furniture, carpets and
ready made clothing for men and
women The method has proved a boon
especially since the fire. to the house
holder, small merchant and profes.
sional man, who are thus enabled Ia
acquire in an easy way the privileges
of comfortable existence that would
otherwise be denied them. Newman

EAST LYNNE AYR AMERIcAN

The old story OF the sin of moment
bringing sorrow through a lifetime
was well enacted last night at the
American theater, when the large cast
of clever players under Walter Sanford
put on East Lynne" It's power to
please young and old alike never seems
to wane, and a good sized audience
came to weep and enjoy.
AS Lady Isabel Laura Hudson was
equal to the emotional exactions of
her part. The bitter atenement which
was made immutable through wrong
done in moment of jealous passion
was pathetically portrayed. There were
very few dry eyes in the audience as
the plot unfolded to the denouement.
Walter Sanford's Characterization of
Archibald was subtle and comprehend
ing. He looked his part and acted it to
the life; v. T. Henderson, who has
made himself one OF the favorites In

TELLS STORY OF TRAGEDY
DURING SEAMEN'S STRIKE
Attorneys Wrangle While Sailor Re
lates How Andrew Kellner Was
Shot to Death

After several sessions devoted to the
reading Of depositions the trial Of Jo-
seph B. Hubbard and George L Ham
mar, charged with the murder Of An
drew Kellner during the sailors strike
last year has again reached an inter-
esting stage. Henry Heisterman, a
union sailor who was with Kellner in
the launch Escort when he was killed
by a shot from the steamer National
City, took the stand yesterday and told
a dramatic story of the tragedy.
Heisterman recalled all the little de-
tails Of the journey to the National
City, which was then manned by a non
union crew. The portion Of his testi-
mony telling Of the death of Kellner
was as follows:
I was sitting in the cockpit. We
were near the steamer. I heard shots:
then I saw Kellner straighten up and
grab his breast with both hands He
cried, ''Oh. Jesus. I'm shot and fell
back into the cockpit and lay there
groaning. When I looked up 1 saw
Hubbard shooting from the deck"
Several tits between Henry Ach. at
torney for the defense, and Special
Prosecutor H W. Hutton, also between
Ach and Assistant District Attorney
James NJ Hanley, occurred while Heis-
terman was testifying. Ach charged
that Hutton was indirectly telling the
witness what to say in response to
questions on cross examination. Hut
ton denied having any such intention.
Hanley advised Ach ito keep cool and
not butt in so much"
At each outbreak Judge Cook rebuked
the attorneys and ordered them to cease
pickering ana proceed with the trial.

REFUSE TO INTERFERE.
WITH HOLOGRAPH WILL
RECOVERED FROM URN
State Courts Resist All At
tempts to Break Tes-
lament of Davis
TO TRANSFER SUIT
contesting Heirs Planning
to Take Appeal to U. S.
Supreme Court

The contest over the will of the late
Jacob e. Davis, who left an estate
worth $4,000, 900, will probably end in
the supreme court of the United States.
The various attempts that have been
made by the heirs of Davis to break
the Photographic will by which the es-
tate went to the two nfeces of Davis
wife have all failed. The last. an ap-
peal by Laura E. Tracy from judg-
ment given in favor of the proponents
of the will In the superior court. was
denied by the state supreme court yes
terday, and the attorneys for the heirs
have come to the conclusion that there
is little more to be gained from the
California courts and say they will
now attempt to get the suit into the SUI
preme court of the United States.
Laura E. Tracy. who was in Honolulu
at the time of Davis death and the
probate of the will on November 30.
1896, and who has been attempting 10
have the will set aside on the grounds
Of collusion and fraud ever since Au-
gust IS, 1900, has not been able to get
a hearing. She did not commence ac-
tion until more than year after the
probate of the will. She hopes to OBJ
tain a hearing in the United States su-
preme court on account of her absence
from the state. The supreme court of
the state refused to go into the ques-
tions of fraud in obtaining the probate
of the will, which is also declared by
the heirs to be forgery, as 1t could
not get over the objection that she had
allowed more than year to elapse be-
fore she commenced suit.
I'VE will probably not be able to go
further IN the state courts" said HI.
w. Philbrook, one of the attorneys for
the heirs, $50 we are preparing to get
the case before the supreme court of
the United States"
The particular anxiety Of the heirs
now is that Elizabeth Muir, who has
since married the Mugan who figured
in the Dolbeer case. and Isabelle Cur
tbs, the recipients of the estate under
the will, borrowed s235,000 from the
trustees of the University of Califor-
MIA on some of the property. They
wished to have the court appoint them
trustees for this amount and the rest
OF the estate, SOS sthat it cannot escape
them in case they later obtain judg-
ment annulling the will on grounds of
forgery, fraud and collusion.
An interesting point in the case is
that the will in dispute is supposed to
have been found in the urn in which the
ashes of Davis wife were kept.

When farmers are busy In the spring
they are liable to neglect many matters
which should command their attention.
Get the implements In readiness and
sharpen the tools. The grindstone Is
a valuable adjunct to good farming, If
thorough work Is desired
1t is no easier to keep poultry than
any other stock, as labor and proper
management must be used to meet sue
cess. Less capital may be required
with poultry. but 1t must be judiclously
expended, or loss can result as easily
as from any other source. Experience
is of more value than capital In poultry
raising.
The food left over on the ground fer
ments and decomposes In very short
time on a warm day, and 1t therefore
becomes one OF the main sources Of

FLoEs DRIFT FROM SOUTH POLE.
Antarctic Ice Found Much Farther
North than Ever Before.

Antarctic Ice Found Much Farther
North. than Ever Before.
Reports received by the hydro
graphic Office OF the navy In Washing
ton for several weeks indicate that the
range Of floating Ice and icebergs from
the south pole Is unusually great.
According to the charts OF the Office,
latitude AZ degrees south has In the
past been the limit for Ice, but recent
reports show that this year the ice has
been found several degrees farther
north. Just what effect this will have
upon ocean currents the office Is not
prepared to say.
Reports of the changing degree Of
temperature of the water In the ocean
currents are being received from time
to time.
Winds OF constant direction and
which In the past were accompanied
by certain established barometric con-
dltions are now reported Of different
character Winds which were former
ly accompanied by rain are apparently
productive of dry weather, and those
which were once accompanied by
failing barometer now only cause
steady barometer.
Other Indications from the reports
received are that the gulf stream Is
standing farther out to sea in Its north
ern extremity than 1t formerly charted.
Efforts are being made to establish IL
possible some relation between the
change in the character OF the winds
and the change In the direction and
latitude of the gulf stream, as well as
the unusual amount of Ice found this
year floating from the antarctic circle.
Whether this Is the effect OF seismic
Disturbances OF unusual character or
OF natural and gradual change Of con-
dition, experts here are unable to say.
They are waiting for further and more
detailed reports.-Boston Post.
