POOR WIDOW FINDS $500. 900.
Mexican Bonds Left By Her Illus. band B Years Ago Thought to
 Be Worthless

San Francisco, Oct 24-Securities which lay neglected for thirty-tw years in an old trunk in the home of Mrs. Therese L. Janson in Mill Valley, suburb of this city, have been found to be worth $800,000. The papers are Mexican bonds Yesterday in the Probate court. Mrs. Janson petitioned to reopen the estate of her husband, Charles J. JansOn, to whom the wealth belonged, in order that steps may be taken to collect the money and dis tribute it according to law between thes aged widow and her five daugh- ters
 Charles J. Janson died in this city on February 2, 1879, leaving what his widow and daughters thought was a small estate, all of which he disposed of by will. Mrs. Janson was named as eXecutrix and in due time distrib- uted what she supposed was the entire estate.
 At that time she discovered among her husbands papers Mexican bonds, but was told that they were worthless. She cast them aside and gave no thought to the documents, merely keeping them as mementos Mrs Janson was in poor circumstances all these years. A week ago Mrs Jan son mentioned the papers to a lawyer friend, who investigated them and found that they had a cash value of more than $500, 900. In addition there Is large amount of accrued interest due.

 Event Thursday.

Preparations have been completed for what is probably one of the best concerts ever given by the Germania Singing Society tonight as the open ing affair of the present season, the society being induced to continue to give concerts of high order on account of the success which attended their last efforts in this direction at which Mrs. Alice Merten and Prof J. A. Hugo were the soloists of the even ing.
 Emil Munch, one of the leading ten ors of New York city, will be the main feature of this concert and much pleasure is anticipated from his sing ing. His voice is so splendid in tone and so we'll trained that he sings con- stantly for the makers of Edison and Victor records. Besides solos by him there will be selections by the we'll trained chorus of the society under Prof. J. A. Hugo, the musical director of the society, a baritone solo by Joseph Wieler and a comic song by M. F. Wieler, both of the Wielers be- ing well known.
 Admission to this concert will be by invitation and only few tickets are in the hands of the secretary of the society, M. F. Wieler, and Prof. J. A. Hugo, from whom they may be ob- tained.

SABINE INVITES
 YOUR INSPECTION
 OF HIS WOOLENs

Sabine, the tailor, known the coun- try over and especially in New York as this country's most prominent de- signer and filter, is on his third week, doing business in this city, and to say that he is making a success would be putting it mildly. The public who had traded with him have faith in every word he says, for they have found that everything is just as rep resented.
 His identification with both Pearson and Rupert A. Ryley of Fifth avenue has placed him in the enviable posi- tion of successfully catering to the highest priced custom tailoring In coming to this city it is Sabine's idea to give to the man who can only pay a popular price for his suit the best woolen goods with fit, finish and workmanship the same as you will find in suits at much higher prices, custom made.
 His many years in the tailoring business warrants suit made here the best in the land. MT. Sabine wish eS to impress on the publfc's mind that he makes all prices of suits but to convince the worl1ingman that he cen get a better suit here custom made he is making these suits up at prices lower than the prices you pay for a ready made suit. All goods fit and finish guaranteed.
 He fits you to a suit on the prem 1ses, cuts and makes them there and gives you just what he represents or money will be refunded Sabine in vites you to call and inspect his wool ems, whether you buy or not he wishes to make your acquaintance. 1200-12O2 Main street, opposite the Stratfield Hotel

 Some folks regard ventriloquists as a necessary evil but nobody can deny the cleverness of The Great Howard. He is undoubtedly the best ventrilO- ouist who ever visited this city. He comes right down among the audi ence and works and even then 1t is impossible to detect any motion of his lips.

A good way to satisfy the members of a family who do not care for the same kind of cake is this: Make a batch of cake batter which will make six layers. From this put in two layer tins the plain white dough, then what is left divide and put half in another dish. To one part can be added lemon, orange, or spices to flavor. To an- other can be added some bitter choco- late melted in hot water, making a nice chocolate cake, or one can add either entrants which have been wash ed, dried and put in flour Or a half cupful of cocoanut, thereby giving enough varieties of cake to last a week through, besides having a change without extra labor.
