POSTAL TO SOLVE AN INTERESTING PROBLEM. s CLUB INVITA- | TIONS ARE Now BEING | TRACED. The missing Press Club invitations to the members of the Bohemian Club are causing considerable stir in postoffice circles. Although no formal complaint was made by the president of the club, still Postmaster McCoppin thought enough about the matter to call in the assistance of the Postoffice Inspectors. The latter have not quite finished their labors, but| nevertheless have learned enough to satisfy themselves that the missing letters of in- vitation never reached the Postotfice. There were over 600 of them written out, enveloped and stamped; of this number only some 150 reached their destination. Consequently §8 worth, or over, of stamps went astray with the letters. ‘What became of those letters, therefore, is the question that is worrying Postmaster McCoppin, the Postal Inspectors, Secre- tary Donald of the Press Club, and in fact all the members of the Press and Bohe- mian clubs generally. ““The invitations were never mailed in this office,”” said Postmaster McCoppin yesterday. “They were lost or stolen either before or after leaving the club- rooms. The man to whom they were given to mail says he delivered them to some one in the Postoffice, and did not put them in the regular mailing-box. No such thing was done, to the knowledge of any one in the Postoffice. Supposing, for the sake of argument, all those letters had been mailed, what chance was there for any one carrier or sorter to get rid of 400 of them? ‘The idea is absurd on the face of it. Those invitations were never mailed. “The invitations were mailed all right,” said Secretary Donald last evening. *Mr. Worrell, a gentleman in whom I have the greatest confidence, assisted me in the get- ting out of the invitations. He took them to the Postoffice when completed and mailed them himself. 1 employ Mr. Wor- rell only occasionally, but he came to me with the highest recommendations, and when he tells me he mailed those letters I am satisfied that he did so.” The matter, therefore, stands in this The tal authorities are satisfied that the missing invitations were never mailed, and Secretary Donald is positive they were. Inthe meantime the Postoffice Inspectors are on the scent and the facts of the case will soon be known. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, Charles C.and Sarah J. Knox to Newton B.

THE CASE OF JOSHUA HENDY. A MaN May MAKE AN UNjusT WILL 1¥ HE SEES FIT AND Is SoUND IN MIND. “Oh, go right ahead, we don’t mind what is printed as coming from the other side,” said W. S. Goodiellow yesterday, when the criticisms of Mr. Knight and Mr. Heggerty upon certain peculiarities of the Fair will were called to his attention. “I don’t care what they say,”” he con- tinued, “and certainly will not take the trouble to answer their criticisms in the papers. 1 assure you, however, that I did not care to fool round with Uncle Jim Fair's estate, but now that he has stuck me in as executor I shall remain and see it through. I shall make it stick, too, you can be sure of that. “Mr. McEnerney has taken the burden from my shoulders for the time being, but Iintend to give the case my personal at- tention shortly.” The setting aside of the verdict in the Hendy will case, the contest of which was based upon_allegations of unsound mind and undue influence, is given an added in- terest to lawyers and others in view of the prospective contest of the Fair will on these same allegations. “James G. Fair was a keen, clear-headed business man, the last man in the city to be suspected of being insane,’ said Mr. (iood!c&low. “‘No one thought of suggest- ing such a thing during his_lifetime nor of any one influencing him in the least de- gree against his inclination. “The case of Joshua Hendy has nnthinfi in_common with that of James G. Fair, said Mr. Heggerty yesterday. ‘“Hendy, at his death, was at the head of a big manu- facturing concern, which was a demon- stration in itself that his head was all right. His will was contested by his brothers, who felt aggrieved at the testa- tor’s neglect. Now, a man is not expected to provide for his brothers unless he wishes to. The case of Fairis entirely different, you see. Here his own children are left subject to the whims and good behavior of so to speak. And as to his men- on, he was old, he was sick and had been so for a long time, and he was daily and continually under the influence of whisky.” Nowlin & Fassett and Judge Cotton, who were attorneys of record for the Hendy estate, are, of course, very well pleased with the turn the Hendy case has taken, and have the rulings of the courts on the questions of “mental incompetency’ ana ‘“‘undue influence” on call. “The courts have been crying out against the prevailing disposition to attack the validity of wills,” said Mr. Nowlin yester- day. “Judge Coffey, in_this case against the Hendy will,” he said, “charged the jury that * the very object of making a wi}l is to disturb the equality of distribution which the law establishes in the absence of one; and whether the reasons for it, in the testator’s mind, are well or ill founded is immaterial, if he has arrived at the re- sult of his own volition and without any fraud, coercion or constraint of others.’ “Again, he said: ‘Intellectual feableness alone, or mere weakness of the under- standing—whether this condition of mind is brought about by natural causes or the result of an injury or disease—does not dis- i person from making a valid will. A partial failure of mind or memory, even to a considerable extent, from whatever cause, isnot in itself sufficient ground for setting aside a_will if there still remains sufficient mind and memory to enable the testator to comprehend what he is about and to understand that he is disposing of his estate by his will and to whom he is disposing of it. “On the question of undue influence Judge Coffey said: ‘The true test of un- due intluence is that it overpowers the will without convincing the judgment. It must be an influence depriving the party of the exercise of his judgment and his free ac- tion. Undueinfiuence cannot be presumed, but must be proved and the burden of roving it by preponderance of evidence ies on the contestants.’ “With regard to the right of every man to dispose of his ownas he will,” Judge Coffey said: ‘The law gives to every man of sound mind the right to dispose of his own property by last will, and this is re- garded as one of the most sacred rightsand the most eflicient means which he has in protracted life or old age? to command the attention due to his infirmities, and a man cannot legally be deprived of this right be- cause of any bodily afflictions, if he be of sound mind. It makes no difference whether the will appears to be just or un- just, equitable or inequitable. * * * A man may be of sound mind and strong mind, and yet be exceedingly unjust. X person has a right to make an unjust will. A testator * * * may do what he will with his own.” “There is notone opinion alone, but a thousand of like character,” said Mr. Good- fellow yesterday, ‘‘holding that a man may make what appearsto bea cruel and un- just will—that, in a word, he may do with is own as he will.” PREPARED FOR ROBBERS, The Southern Pacific May Have Im- pregnable Express Cars. The frequency with which train rob- beries have occurred within the past few years, many of which resulted in the loss of large sums of money to the companies which were the victims, has been a source of great annoyance to the officials of the Southern Pacific in common with those of other roads. The subject has received much attention from these gentlemen, and various means have been suggested from time to time by which it was believed the efforts of the thieves might be frustrated. It was pro- posed to have armed guards accompany each train upon which treasure was car- ried, but this plan involved great expense, and as the efforts of all reilroad companies are now directed toward reducing expendi- tures instead of increasing them, conse- quently this Ylan was abandoned. The method now under consideration is a car especially constructed to successfully resist any attacks make upon it. It has become quite a frequent occurance of late for outlaws to make a sudden descent on a train, put the engineer and fireman under arrest, and while a portion of the gang guards their prisoners, the remainder of the band deliberately go through the train and levy on the passengers. The mail and express cars are, however, the most sought aiter, and the desperadoes often make rich hauls, owing to the fact that the messengers are in such a position as to be almost helpless. If they lock them- selves in the car there is no chance to resist an onslaught, and the robbers being, as a rule, first-class marksmen, any exposure on the part of the employes results in drawing the effective fire of the thieves. In a device which the Southern Pacific officials are giving their consideration the express or mail car is provided with oppo- site side openings, into which are fitted rectangular frames, somewhat like a large shallow box, opening inwardly to the car. These sections rest upon suitable floor strips and are provided with rack bars and pinion gear. heK are nominally drawn inward, so that the outward face is flush With the side of the car, and does not pre- | sent any unusual appearance, When the train is’ stopped and the robbers parade alon%)it the messenger turns a crank and the bullet-proof sections slide out like a square bay-window., Small loopholes are rovided, and the messenger is thus af- rded a flanking fire the entire length of the train. The looYholes are protected by steel plates pivotally anacheg, which can be turned to cover the orifice until the mes- senfer is ready to snuff out another robber. The sections are also provided with searchlights, which will illuminate the entire length of the train and the sur- rounding land. The device, it is claimed, will also prevent the robbers from pursuing a plan which has found much favor with them in the past. It hasbeen the custom of many of these gangsof desperadoes to use the engineer or fireman of a train at- tacked as a shicld, while the thieves forced the door of the express-car with dynamite or other means. As the sliding sections permit the messenger to have a full view of the train he could readily pick off the thieves from his secure position before they would be able to attach a bomb to the car door or make any progress in their efforts to force an entrance, A OHANCE TO GET EVEN. How Sallor Holbrook Got Into Serious Trouble. Captain Morehouse of the American ship Dashing Wave was acquitted of a charge of cruelly beating Henry Holbrook during a voyage from Tacoma to San Francisco by NISS M CORMICK'S PRETTY WORKSHOP. NO FEMININE ARTIST NEED BE CARELESS OF OUTWARD APPEARANCES. ART AND THE FASHIONS. SEVERE SIMPLICITY AND ETRUSCAN HancINGs PRovE HEr THEORIES. Just what constitutes a woman’s studio is hard to determine. In this city there are more than 200 feminine artists and no two of them have the same idea either of art or artistic surroundings. Decoration proves their several tastes and the forms of decoration shown in their studios are mul- titudinously various.”? Miss Evelyn McCormick is possibly a [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] United States Commissioner Heacock yes- terday. The second mate was at the bot- tom of the trouble. He had been abusing Holbrook for several days, and the latter was anxious for revenge. When the mate and a sailor named Swanson got into an altercation in which blows were ex- changed, Holbrook saw his opportunity and struck the mate with a piece of scant- ling. This all happened in the dusk of the evening, and Captain Morehouse, seein that a fight was in_progress, ran forwar and, seizing a belaying pin on_his way, stinel: thoinrst Highto: he raattaFToTinac, happened to be the man and he was felled to the deck, receiving a severe scalp wound. His face was badly bruised, but the testimony shows that while the mate was down and the sailor was beating him with a stick the officer kicked the seaman in the face. MUSIC AT THE AUDITORIUM. AN EXCELLENT RENDERING OF SOME CLASSIC WORKS. POPULAR NIGHT. LovERs oF HARMONY WHO SEEM TO BE UNDERGOING LENT PENANCES. So many good and pious people practice self-abnegation in Lent, denying them- selves every pleasure, from sugar in their tea to the luxuries of music and art, that one cannot but wonder whether it is owing to a self-imposed penance that the musical public of Ban Francisco is denying itself the pleasure of the excellent concerts that the Metropolitan Musical Society is giving at the Auditorium. Last week a symphony that had been talked of throughout the length and bredth of America—Anton Dvorak's “From the New World”—was given at the Auditorium for the first time in San Francisco. It was the first great symphony by a leading com- poser of the day, written in America and for Americans, and the musical pub- lic was not to be tempted, even by that great treat, to break its Lenten fast from the joys of good music. Yesterday even- ing Moszkowski's “Jeanne d’Arc” was played, and the people who used to flock to applaud Scheel were again conspicuous by their absence. Of course there was an audience, but where the enthusiastic crowds used to come in hundreds they now come in tens and fives, and yet the orchestra is much nearer Ker[ectlon than it was a few months ago. Moszkowki’s symphonic poem was beau- tifully played last night. Tt isa peculiarly attractive work and will well bear hearing more than once, as the descriptive charac- ter of the music grows upon the hearer— Jeanne’s pastoral life and her great mis- sion revealed in a vision, followed by the harmonies which were chromatic enough to express any amount of internal discord, then the music gradually subsiding into peaceful remembrances. In the third part it was easy to imagine from the realistic tone-painting the con- querors entering Rheims with all the pano- ply of war, and in the fourth to see Jeanne n rnson, led forth to execution, and finally dying to soft music, which was suc- ceeded by a burst of glorification. The gracefulness and yet the strength of Gluck’s overture “Iphigenia,” were %eau- tifully rendered, and Bizet's suite “Roma,” was worth going to the concert to hear alone, for the brio and brilliancy with which the charming music was played could scarcely have been improved. Popular concerts will be given to-night and on Saturday evening. Sunday even- ing will be a grand Scandinavian night. e “Now, Gen'ral, you're posted; come, give us your views. Inabrush at the front what's the powder to use?” He winked at a star as he puffed his cigar, And slowly replied, “Zn a brush at the front I never use powder, but—SOZODONT.” strong antithesis to the accepted idea of what & woman artist should be. In person Miss McCormick is slight and about 5 feet Binches tall. Her eyes are dark, her hair light brown and her manner that of the con- sistent worker. “Inever was artistic,”” said Miss McCormick, “‘because I do not like the word. The assumption that to be artistic means that one must be reckless of appear- ances is hardly what I commend. I be- lieve that a woman artist may be just as strong and complete in her work as a man, but she need not be careless to be artistic. On the contrary, fashion sets the pace, whether for artists or others.”” All the time Miss McCormiek was talk- ing she was moving gracefully around her studio, stopping now and then to touch up this or that piece of bric-a-brac. In herself essentially feminine and ar- tistic she claimed for her sex the right to Miss Evelyn McCormick. [From a photograph.] make themselves look as charming as possible, and as a personal illustration showed the efficacy of her argument. One of the most striking things about Miss McCormick’s studio was the long straight lines. FEven the earliest Grecian schools were not more severe. The dra*)— eries of the walls, the mathematically lineal effect, all bespoke Etruscan sim- plicity, and yet these were the surround- ings of the young lady who admitted that “fa?hion” still holds sway in feminine souls. Miss McCormick’s work is sure to attract attention, if only for the reason that it is strong and finished. There is little or no impressionistic sense developed. Neither is she broadly realistic, but as a clever woman she is well in the front rank. An exhibitor at the Salon, the Berlin Acad- emy, the Pennsylvania Academy and the Columbian Exposition, should certainly be relied upon to furnish something above :pe average for the coming spring exhibi- ion. THE GRAIN THIEF. Amos Cole Arrested at Angels Camp and Brought to the City. Amos Cole, the laborer, who stole the wheat and oats belonging to Hinz & Plage- man of the Yolo mills from the seawall, and sold them to the Cadarella Brothers, 102 Second street, was brought to the city last night by Detective Crockett from Angels Camp and locked up in the City Prison. ‘Warrants were sworn out on Monday for the arrest of Cole and John, Philip and Luigi Cadarella, the three latter on_the charge of receiving stolen goods. John and Philip were arrested that afternoon, but, Lniii has kegt out of the way. Cole was in the city that afternoon but disap- peared. His description was sent by tele- snph throughout the State, and on Tues- ay word was received that he had been seen heading for Angels Camp. Crockett ;]n_'lmediawly left for theve and arrested im. The detectives say that Cole has stolen tons of grain from the seawall. PIPE THROUGH THE STREETS. A Winemaker Will Use One of the City’s Thoroughfares. The Board of Supervisors has been asked for various kinds of piping privileges, franchises for steampipes, gaspipes and water-pipes, but for the first time in the history of the body a petition to lay wine- pipes in the public streets was before the Street Committee yesterday. C. Carpy is the owner of two extensive warehouses, one at the southwest corner of Folsom'and Second streets and the other on Brannan street, near Fourth. It has heretofore been his custom to have all wine which it became necessary to convey from one winery to the other hauled in wagons, but the proprietor has decided that it would be cheaper to pipe it, so he petitioned the Supervisors for the privilege yesterday, receiving a favorable answer to his request. The pipes will be 1aid along Second and Brannan streets, and the amount of wine which under the old methods took a day to transfer can then be carriedin a couple of hours, The work will be done under the super- vision of the Superintendent of Streets. THE NEVADA BANK SUIT CLAUS SPRECKELS THINKS IT WILL BE THROWN OUT OF COURT. A HINT AT MoORE LITIGATION BE- TWEEN THE FAMILY Fac- TIONS. An attempt was made yesterday after- noon to learn from Rudolph Spreckels what injury he fears from the tran stock proposed by the Nevada Bank, to prevent which he has brought an injunc- tion suit. The plaintiff could not be found, but his brother, C. A. Spreckels, said : tain their object for a long time, and I have given them just rope enough with which to hang themselves. Now, my evidence isall | in, and I provose to protect my interest This suit is only the beginning. The end? You will find that in the courts at the proper time. “I am not the partyin interest in the resent suit, but the agreement made when ?{udnlph‘s stock was pledged was that it | should not be transferred out of his name. If any one asserts to the contrary he lies, that’s all.” “Was there a written paper to that ef- fect?”’ was asked. “We will prove our case or keep it out o court,”” was the rejoinder. “Do I speak for | my brother? No, only for myself, but our | interests are practically identical.” | J. D. Spreckels remarked that the suit | was brought against the bank, but if it in | any way concerned him his attorney, S. M. Shortridge, could give any necessary infor- | mation. Claus Spreckels said: *There is nothing in the suit. You will see that it will be | thrown out of court. The company owed me $700,000, but the boys charged me in | their former suit with trying to rob the stockholders. T told my lawyer to offer to | settle for $600,000, andthereby sacrificed | $100,000. Does that look as though I was trying to rob them? Th offer, and then I had to have security for my money. Gus did not have security enlough, and so Rudolph pledged his stock. It was stock I had given him outright. He never had any hand in the management of the company. My partner owned half the stock and I owned the other hali—only I gave half mine to Rudelph. ‘‘Now they want to pay one-third of the debt, and as we cannot divide the stock that way without getting new certificates | 1 thought I would cut it up into smaller parcels and have it all in my name, to save trouble. *‘The suit amounts to nothing. It seems as if those boys like to be always in litiga- tion; they must be crazy. They lost their heads now these last few years, and yet they used to be just as good boys as ever were." Attorney Shortridge, whose firm, Delmas & Shortridge, has ieen retained by the Nevada Bank, spoke of the matter with evident reluctance. “The suit,” he said, “is against the Nevada Baak to enjoin them from transferring certain stock from the name of Rudolph Spreckels. The accepted the | distinetly gi es the pledgee the right to | have such stock reissued to him as such pledgee. For this young man to charge an institution of such known integ- rity with taking part in any under- handed or questionable transaction affecting his stock is ridiculous. The bank simply wants to protect itself and those who are dealing with it. This young man does not seem to realize upon what thin ice he stands. Charges against him are such that all his property in the Hawaiian Islands is liable to confiscation. “You may say that the step the bank contemplates cannot in_any way, manner, shape or form tend to injure the interests of the plaintiff in_this case. We will re- be made, and we would be only too glad to have him make the payment and take the stock at once.” THEIRVAGTION UNANIMOUS. The Committee of Eleven All Against the Southern Pacific.
