This comedy, which has long since

Hiss Ward proved enc OF the mos;

Mr.. Jerome has given a highly HUI
morous conception of what happened
when Lord Bantock married a music
rail- singer and brought her to his
home to take her place at the head
Of his household, with its family tradi.

deception on both sides. Fanny's
manager had assured Lord Bantock
that the young woman's uncle was
bishop in some far away post. aud that
another uncle was Judge, while Lord
Bantock did not reveal his Identity
as member OF the nobility.

WOMAN, IGNORED,
GIVEN $4,000
Late Lucky" Baidwin's Daughter
Fights and Wins Fortune From
Other Heirs of Famous Turfman.

OAKLAND. Cal, April 16.-With
the peace dove lowering over all 9TH
er members of the family of L. j.
| ("Lucky') Baldwin, after several days
of war and rumors OF war, following
the reading OF the will OF the famous
turfman, Mrs. Rozella Robinson Bald
win Selby OF this city. whose relation
ship as a daughter was not revealed
until the filing OF the Baldwin will, de-
clared that she was not bequeathed
daughters proper share OF the es-
tate. announced her intention TO fight
until she got what she believed to be
rightfully hers. and won before a blow
| had been struck Ia the courts.
Mrs. Selby is the wife of an Oakland
candy manufacturer. She is young
woman OF exceptional charm and
beauty. The fact that Baldwin had a
third daughter living came as com
plete surprise even to his immediate
family, when his will disclosed that he
had left to Mrs. Selby $4,000 OF his
s25,000,000 estate.
The relationship was Immediately
questioned, but Mrs. Selby found no
trouble establishing the fact that she
is the daughter of Baldwin and Mar
tina Fowler Baldwin of San Francisco.
A letter written by Baldwin to his
son-in-law. established the pa:entage.
This letter showed that Mrs Selby's
mother, Martha Fowler, was legally
married to Baldwin. and that two
years after the birth OF Rozella Bald.
win, her mother died.
Baldwin left the bulk of his estate
t, his two daughters by his last mar.
riage. The widow Immediately an.
nounced her intention to contest the
will. a settlement was soon reached
to prevent litigation. but in this settle
ment Mrs. Selby's claims were not
considered.
1t was then that Mrs. Selby prepar.
ed to fight. The other Baldwin heirs
recognized Immediately that if Mrs.
Selby should remain firm in her pur-
pose there was a strong proba bility
that the estate would be tied up in
the courts for years.
There was another family confer
ence. This time Mrs. Selby was not
ignored
Now she has rolled down her sleeves
and the sensational war in the courts
which appeared inevitable a lew days
ago. has been averted. for the time at
least.

The Telephone.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell Is
reported to have explained in a lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
MY father invented a symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally l invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. I went to an aurist. and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with a dead
mans ear, and with this ear l expert
mented, and upon applying the appara-
tus l found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations.
Il arrived at the conclusion that if
could make iron vibrate on dead
mans ear l could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood.
thought If placed delicate piece Of
steel over an electric magnet l could
get vibration. and thus the telephone
was completed.
THE telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. 1t
arose from my knowledge. not of cleo
tricity. but as teacher Of the deaf.
Had l been an electrician l would not
have attempted it,"
