12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 16, 1895. MRS, MARTIN'S SUIT, Charges E. B. Pond and Arthur Rodgers With Jury Bribing. SPICY COMPLAINT FILED. Alleges That Many Twenties Were Paid Jurors in Her Late Case. ASKS JUDGMENT FOR $250,C00. In an Interview the Fair Litigant Hints of Important Evidence to Come. Mrs. Isabella J. Martin, through her at- | torney, J. C. Bates, filed in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon a complaint vs. | E. B. Pond, acting as administrator with | will annexed of the estate of Henry Mar- tin, deceased, Arthur Rodgers and May Martin. This suit is brought on the part of John B. Martin Jr.,a minor, through Mrs, Martin, his guardian. The opening clauses recite the history of the celebrated Martin will case, and at section 5 the kernel of the cause is stated as follows: That since the trial of the said case, to wit, on or about the 20th day of May, A. D. 1895, and after the time to move for a new trial had expired under the statute and laws of the State of California, or to get any relief in the matter of said proseeding in the matter of the estate department of the urt, the said plaintiff first iearned and discovered the fact that some of the jury (Jurors Cody and Wambold excepted) ndered the verdict 1n said case were uptly bribed and paid money ndants to render a verdict against of said last will of said Henry Martin, deceased. That the way and manner that some of the jurors were bribed and induced to render their verdict is as follows: As plaintiff is informed and verily believes, and upon and according to herinformation and belief alleges that said de- fendants did willfn ana wickedly combine and conspire together and collusively to, and did improperly and corruptly influence several of the jurors in said case (Jurors Cody and Wambold excepted, who refused to join in the verdict) to render a verdict in favor of said de- fendant, May E. Martin, and against the valid- ity of said will of February 23, 1894. That said defendant, MM: E. Martin, fur- nished the money for said purpose, and that the other defendants, Pond and Rodgers, secretly interviewed said jurors after they had left the troom while said case was on trial, and lked with them and learned from said jurors that they thought baby John, meaning the plaintiff, was entirled to the money, that is the one-third mentioned in said will of February 393, meaning thereupon said defendants, Rodgers, said *“‘that they, the jurors, would never get & cent out of Mrs. John Mar- tin, for she has nothing, but that Mrs. Henry Martin (the defendant, May E. Martin mean. ing) has the coin, you had better stand in with her, for she will pay well,” saying to said jurors also, “that Mrs. Henry Martin had given & purse of money to divide among the jurors. That after such and other statements several of the jurors by saia defendants, Pond and Rodgers, and on the day and evening before the trial closed, said defendants, Pond and Rodgers, delivered, nud caused to be delivered, to cer- (Jurors Cody and Wambold twenty-dollar pieces” in exact amount plaintiff does andred dollars to some on of such corrup- ¢ & verdict was rendered in ndant, May S. Martin, and favor of said de sgainst said pla % After some further allegations to the t the plaintiff begs that the verdict in the will case be set aside, and that judgment be entered against E. B. Pond, Arthur Rodgers and May S. Mar- tin for 0,000 damages on account of the fraud and oppression practiced toward and damages sustained by plaintiff. Mrs. Martin spoke freely on the case and she reviewed the personnel of the jury with significant and characteristic fervor. “The foreman of that jury,” said the lady, “was Alf Rulofson, an employe of Baker & Hamilton, and Henry Barman is also an employe of the same firm, with which the defendant, E. B. Pond, is con- nected in a large land deal. “The greater part of that jury,” contin- ued Mrs. Martin, “were saloonmen, and Jeremiah hurley, one of that body, served in the Assessor’s office when Pond was in office. Haley, the County Clerk at that time, was a friend of Pond and permitted the latter and Arthur Rodgers to take Henry Martin’s second will from his office, and Mr. Buckenfeldt had itin his posses- sion for over thirty nights without a deputy. “It may be a matter of interest to the public to know that three of Mrs. Henry Martin’s witnesses have died since the trial. Sargent, superintendent of the Brown Bear mine, was found dead in his room at the Grand Hotel. He had passed that evening with young Pond and Mrs. Henry Martin. ‘He died,’ added Mrs. John, bitterly, ‘with his boots on.’ “There is a man named Thomas Clark, now serving a term in the State prison, who thoroughly described Pond while on the witness-stand as the man who em- ployed him to visit my house and take therefrom any papers that bore Henry Martin’s name. “I am not prompted by malice or revenge, but I simply want justice for my child. My life has been devoted to the welfare of my two boys and I do not de- sire to live unless I can prove the validity of Henry Martin’s will. Life to me with- out the respect and honor of my kind is valueless.” Mrs. Martin insinuated that ,she had some very important evidence, which she would produce when the present case comes to trial. SCORED THE SUPERVISORS Enthusiastic Meeting of the Alamo-Square Improve- ment Club. They Will Walt on the City Fathers In a Body and Demand Recog- nition. The Alamo-square Improvement Club met last night at 920 Fulton street to pro- test against the apathy of the Board of Su- pervisors regarding the compietion of Al- mo square. It is three years since the slub met in a body, but the work for which it was formed has been kept in hand by the executive committee, consist- Ing of Messrs. E. M. Root, William Me- Cormick, Joseph Newman, M. Kavanagh and M. J. Mertens. The first order of business was a repart l | ers addressed the mieeting, but a respon- from this committee. In it wasstated that the matter had been before the Supervisors since the last meeting of the club, three vears before. The City Fathers had been asked at that time for $15,000 to build the park, but they had put the request off from time to time, with the result that nothing was accomplished. The last movement in the matter was made Thursday before the Street Committee, and the petition of the | property-owners was put on file. i Tlu- report was read by M. J. Mertens, secretary of the club. Mr. Mertens stated that the objection of the Supervisors here- tofore had been that they did not under- stand just what was wanted, for the reason that no plans or specifications had been fur- nished with the petition. It wasin vain that the Supervisors were importuned to | have the City Engineer supply the required | data, and as a last resort the executive | | | | committee employed an engineer to do the work. i ‘‘Accompanying our last petition,” said Mr. Mertens, “was a map and specifica- tions, but these have apparently done no | Z0O Now, Femlemvn, 1t rests with you | to say what shall be done.”” T.T.

Root and oth- ve chord was not struck until Colonel | O’Connor suggested that a date be set for | the club to waiton the Street Commitree in | & body and demand recognition from the " siastically re- rried out in the | near future. Itw » decided that each | member of the club would consider him- | self a committee of one to wait on any and | all Supervisors he knew, and it was also | concluded to ask Supervisor Wagner of the | Twelith Ward for h -operation. The club heartily indorsed the action of the committee of the Board of Regents in | GENERAL SCHOFIELD HERE, Commander of the United States Army Arrives in This City. ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION. He Will Visit Posts of the Penlnsula and Study Harbor De- fenses. Lieutenant-General John M, Schofield, who commands the United States army, arrived in San Francisco on the Central Pacific at 11 o’clock last night. He was met in his private car at Sixteenth street, Oakland, by Lieutenant J. F. Bell and J. F. R. Landis of the staff of General For- syth, commanding the Department of Cal- fornia. At the court of the Palace the commanding general was welcomed heart- ily by General Forsyth, Major Bates and other officers of the army stationed in this city.

NOTICET0 STOCKHOLDERS Owners of Valley Road Shares Asked to Sign the Pooling Agreement. N. S. Harrold of the Rlghts of Way Committee Discusses Surveys | and Routes. Nearly all the stockholders of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail- way have signed the pooling agreement | which is intended as a measure to prevent designing capitalists or railroad magnates | from gaining control of the road. Some, | however, have failed to call at the office and fall in line with the majority, and to them the following letter was sent yesterday : THE SAN FRANCISC0 AND SAX JOAQUIN VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY, % OFFICE, 321 MARKET STREET. In order that we mey issue to you a truste certificate, it will be necessary for you to sign | the pooling agreement. Please call at the | office of the company, 321 Market street, as | soon as possible and oblige, yours truly, ALEXANDER MACKIE, Secretary. N. S. Harrold, a member of the Stockton | rights-of-way committee which is working enthusiastically to secure a clear route for the Valley road twenty-five miles south from Stockton, paid a visit to Chief En- gineer Storey yesterday at the railway of- fices. He discussed several questions con- nected with his committee. Mr. Harrold lives between Burneville and the Stanislaus | River, where he owns an immense ranch. Though the right of way takes only a strip of land 100 feet wide Mr. Harrold will give twenty-five acres to the Valley road, which | cuts off from his home portion 500 acres, Now more than ever before the engineers find that the method of Government sur- veys is not at all adapted to the valleys of California, because instead of following the trend of the San Joaquin Valley the line run from north to south and east to west, This has laid the sections off diagonally, | and when a railroad or county mfi is sur- | veyed down the vyalley it invariably cuts | through ranches from one corner to| another. In this way the owner of 160 | acres near Burneville had his ranch cut clean in two diagonally and thereby lost & very large share of his 1 Still he does not complain—a fact which illustrates in a striking way the feeling existing in the valley toward the new road. Mr. Harrold said that little or no trouble has been met in_securing rights of way to the Stanislaus River, as all along the line | ranchers only too willingly stood by the railway. Some day next week, he said, the committee will leave Stockton and go over the selected route, seeing the owners in person and making final arrangements for iransferring the land to the Valley Railway. ‘‘But still I come across some people up there who think the road is not going to be built,” he remarked. “You just get the deeds of rights of wa; from them,” added Engineer Storey, “an we will buila so fast we'll make their heads swim.’” “Well, T'li say this for the people of San Joaquin,” reptied Mr. Harrold promptly and with considerable earnestness, “The people of San Joaquin are in it to stay, and we mean business. We are going to have the competing line and know it is coming now abouv as soon as a railway can come.” Class in Grammar, “William,” said the teacher, “parse the sentence, ‘Xenia has about 7500 inhabi- tants.’” William had not studied the lesson, but he began boldly: “Xenia is an active verb, first person”’— “A verb, is it?" “Yes'm.” . “Can you give me some other sentence in which it is used as a verb?’’ “Yes'm. I haven’t Xenia over at our house for a long time.”—Chicago Tribune. { { with him con: the IR | the effect of modern ordnance in defense that he had made no plans for his sojourn in San Francisco. He expected, so he re- marked, to remain at least a week and per- haps a few days longer.

The party was assigned to quarters on third floor of the Palace. The general g very tired sought rest shortly after his arrival, hence no plans for his recep- tion at the Presidio were fixed last eveni 1t is known, however, that he will visit the posts on the peninsula and in the har- bor and make close inspection of the forti- fications and the power of resistance which the land batteries can offer to a hostile fleet. General Schofield has made a care- ful study of the harbor defenses of the prin- cl]lml seaport towns of the United States, n this line he has noted as carefully as opportunity in time of peace will warrant, and aggressive operations. General Schofield will on September 22 next attain the age of 64 years, and under be rule will retire from active ser- vice in the army. It had been re- garded as settled, until recently, that Major-General Nelson A. Miles would sue- ceed him at Washington as commander of the army, but the President may order otherwise, and reports have been circu- lated to the effect that the chief executive may designate some other officer than General Miles to fill the place when the vacancy oceurs. General Schofield has a record of galiant and meritorious service in_ battle. At Wilson’s Creek as a major he distinguished himself for skill in bandling his artillery, and gained renown for deeds of personal courage. At Atlanta, commanding the Army of the Ohio, he rendered able service under General Sherman. At Franklin, Tenn., he fought the flower of Gener: Hood’s Confederate army and gained great credit for ability and skill as a commander. General Schofield is well known in San Francisco, having served for several years as commander of this department, - LITIGATION FOR CHINESE, They Will Prosecute Police- men Who Are Accused of Brutality. Cullinane Said to Be Over Legal Age and to Have Been a Tyrant. Officer James Cullinane, like his supe- rior, Sergeant Cook, is to stand trial. The Chinese Consnlate, the Six Companies and the Chinese Merchants' Exchange are after him. The provosition is to show that Cullinane is not a fit and proper person to be on the police force, and, furthermore, that he was over the age set by the Legis- lature when he was appointed a police officer. The attorney for the Six Compa- nies offers to show that Cullinane is at least 45 years of age. He swore to being only 35 before he secured the appointment. The complaint further alleges that he is ‘‘aman ot vicious temperament and wicked heart, indoctrinated and embittered with violent and uncivilized prejudices against the Chinese race; thut he has a fierce and ungovernable temper, 4nd is addicted to paroxysms and outbreaks of anger and ha- tred without restraint or judgment and without fear of consequences. *‘That he is unfair, intolerant and sav- age, deserving the denunciation and dis- missal by your honorable body which is hereby earnestly urged in the interest of the community and in the name of hu- manity.” The complaint continues: That heretofore, to wit: Onorabout the 18th day of April, 1895, at about 3:30 P. M. of that day, in the premises known as811 Dupont street, the said defendant and others, without any eause or provocation, made & vicious and violent assault upon a party of four Chinamen, and struck, beat, bruised, crippled and man: filed them, beating and battering them in a heinous and outrageous menner, and did not cease his wanton and villainous assault until he had almost crippled forever one of the said Chinamen, by attacking and disabling him in a vital organ of nis body,and two or three days after said date aforesnid, not yet having appeased his appetite for brutalify, renewe his attack upon ‘the same party of Chinamen while they were eating dinner and violently forced and thrustthem outof the premises. where they were dining at the hour of about 4 o'clock, their usual dinner time. In support of their charge that Cullinane has no right to be on the police force, the Chinese, through their at‘orney, point to the fact that no man can be np})omled on the force who is over 35 years of age. The records show that in 1881 Cuilinane joined the fire patrol and gave his age as 28 years. The Great Register for August 11, 1882, shows the following : James Cullinane, age 32; nativity, Michigan; occupation, metal-roofer; residence, 77 Natoma street, room B, floor third. *‘If Cullinane was 32 years of age in 1882, I would like to know how it came about that he was only 35 in 1894, when he was appointed on the police force,”” said Attor- ney T. D. Riorda; “The fact of the mat- ter is simply this: Cullinane is 45 years old, and we can prove it. s ““It is about time the brutality practiced upon innocent Chinese was stopped and we pro&mse to make an example of Ser- geant Cook and Officer Cullinane and the other members of the Chinatown squad.” Among the witnesses who will a&penr against Cullinane will be Ned Duiheld, formerly bailiff 1n Judge Joachimsen’s court. He heard Cullinane say to a friend, ‘‘Come along and I’ll show you how we do the Ching-a-rings up.” On that occasion bhalf a dozen Chinese were beaten and ar- rested. J. McAneny will be another witness. He saw a Chinese battered, and a store- keeper named Wolfe will swear that he heard Cullinane say, “They thought I was off duty, but I ¢came back and fooled them.” In talking about the matter McAneny said: “I was standing in front of the Chinese theater about midnight, and I saw ‘Windy Jim’ coming along. A Chinese was standing on the curbstone, and Culli- nane crossed over and said something about lottery tickets, Then he knocked the man down, and when he got up he pushed him against the wall and beat him. After he got through he said to me, ‘These Chinese are stealing a march on us, but we'll get even with them. The Chinese was beaten so badly that he had to go to Dr. Stanton for treatment. Joe Kelly, the bailiff in Judge Conlan’s court, took him to Dr. Stanton.” Wong Chark, who has lived in San Fran- cisco for forty years and owns the most real estate of any Chinese in this City, will be a witness before the Police Commis- sioners next Wednesday. He says that Cullinane searched him as he came ont of his residence, and finding no lottery tickets on his person kicked and beat him. All these witnesses will be in attendance at the inquiry next Wednesday night and the Police Commissjoners will {;uve a lively time of it in placing the blame where it lies. That will not settle the matter, how- ever, as suits for damages against the en- tire squad have been begun in the United States Circuit Court, and should the Chi- nese, whom Sergeant Cook is accused of throwing downstairs, die, the matter will be carried to Washington. ACCUSED OF A FELONY J. C.Davis of Rochester Booked With Passing a Fictitious Check. The Police Will Prosecute Him on All the Charges, About a Dozen. A warrant was sworn out in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morning charging J. C. Davis of Rochester with passing a fictitious check, which under section 408 of the Penal Code is a felony. This action was taken by the police on the advice of Judge Murphy of the Superior Court. It is now probable that the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses made in Judge Campbell’s court will be withdrawn. Davis was booked at the City Prison on the felony charge yesterday. Other complaints of a similar nature will be sworn out on Monday, as Captain Lees says all the charges against Davis, and there are about a dozen, will be prose- cuted. Meantime his young wife, who was re- leased on Friday on her own recognizance, is doing everything possible to save him from punishment. She is not without friends in this City and they are helping her pecuniarily and otherwise. Her father, who isa man of means in_Rochester, N. Y., has sent her money and urged her to return home, but she refuses to leave the City and says she will remain loyally by her husband in his time of tribulation. Captain Lees does not believe that the law can reach Mrs, Davis, and he is backed up in his opinion by the lawyers, who hold that the law does not contemplate a double accusation against man and wife, even when the offense is committed jointly, as it is presumed the wife was acting under the influence of her husband. If she had been alone it might have been different, but Davis was with her when she urchased the invalid chair from the terling Furniture Company, and it was to him the change between the value of the draft and the price of the chair was handed. Davyis’ life in the City Prison is being made as pleasant as poasible. His meals are sup Il)ied from a neighloring restau- rant and in other ways, throngh the atten- tion of his wife, he is quite comfortable. Captain Lees said last night that since Davis’ arrest he has been vatisfied that he was mnot telling the truth when he pro- fessed that this was the first time that he had strayed from the path of rectitude. I recognized him at once,” said the captain, “‘as a well-known crook, but did not want to say anything about it till I had searched tKrough my papers in the hope of finding all the particulars about a forgery he committed nearly four years ago. ““He was here during the greater part of 1891, and toward the end of that year he left for Mexico. Whkile in_a small town there, I forget the name of it, he forged a draft on the Boatman Savings Bank of St. Louis, Mo., for $28,000. There was only one telegraph operator in the place, and Davis, who then “went under the name of Silverberg, bought him over. Davis pre- sented the draft at the bank there, and the bank wired to St. Louis to know if it was all right. The telegraph operator fixed up areply that it was ‘0. K.,” and the $28,000 was paid over to Davis. “Davis was arrested, but the telegraph operator fled, How Davis got out of the scrape 1 do not know, as I have so far been unable to lay my hands upon the clippings from the newspapers about the case which I got at the time.” The police here consider Davis one of the most dangerous criminals in his line with whom they have had to deal for some considerable time. e Sl The Feminine Imagination. A down-East dressmaker tells of an ex- acting patron who brought back a dress because it was too large in the waist, and wanted it refitted. It was left for the Ipm'- pose, but before it was touched my lady sent for it. Thinking her customer was ‘“notional” the dressmaker allowed it to go as it was, saying nothing. The lady thought it had been fixed, and now com- glained that it was too tight in the waist. t was left as before, but nothing was done 1o it, as the dressmaker had now grown wise on the subject. It remained a few days and was again tried by the customer. This time the fit was pertect, and the lady has since repeatedly declared she never Was 50 well snmd.-{nwhtan Journal, | eight years, and still there is a great deal A PRISONER (N HAWAIL Count Rudolphvon Schonberg- Domkewiez Scores Dole’s Methods. POLITICAL OFFENDERS' FOOD. They Are Made to March With Jall- birds, Like So Many Criminals. Count Rudolph von Schonberg-Domke- wiez is in the City, having touched this point in his second trip around the world, with Vienna as a starting point. “I have been traveling over the earth for to see that I have never heard of,” said the Count, in the Palace Hotel billiard-room, yesterday. ‘‘To be sure, one sees the most important places in such light as they are best presented to tbe tourist’s eye, but nevertheless there is something beyond that which frequently is of more interest and generally of more importance.” “Which country do you prefer?”’ “I can only answer that by telling you which country I am more in sympathy with. Ithink of them all I feel more for Count Rudolph von Schonberg-Dom- kewiez. [Sketched from life for the “Call” by Nankivell.] that little group of islands off your coast. I refer to the Sandwich group. I know of no section of the world where there is so much feeling for the people as there is in Hawaii. I mean by that, the feeling aris- ing among the people of other countries. We of Europe being royalists from the be- ginning probably have a better understand- ing of the wants and expectations of the people of the islands than you of the re- public. I think foreigners are more liable to express themselves as in sympathy with such conditions than you people. “Idid so myself when I was there in January and was arrested the second day of the revolution as a suspicious character. I protested against such treatment and de- manded my release on the ground that no martial law existed. I was liberated and then I took the trouble to see just how much cause the Provisional Government had to dethrone the Queen. Of course it is along story and no doubtan old one to you. J “But one thing I did learn and that was the existence of a most peculiar method of treating political prisoners. They were compelled to march with felons and jail- birds, like so many criminals of the lower type. Think of a political prisoner under ball and chain, marching on the public thoroughfares. *‘Such treatment would not be permitted for a .moment in any other country and nothing but a narrow short-sighted Gov- ernment would be guilty of it. The food they are allowed is not sufficient to meet their appetites. It isoutof the question to expecta man to remain healthy on a bit of salt salmon or two hard boiled eggs and a cup of tea. *‘A hard day’s work with such a meal staring a man in the face is enough punish- ment to inflict upon him without putting him among the worst criminals in the islands to work on the highways. Oh, it is a shame. Ireally feel sorry for those people down there, and I can understand why they wish to govern their own little world. “I see you are glancing rather critically at my monocle. Well, it is all right; I am not surprised at that. I supposea mon- ocle is a very scarée thing here. We wear them all over Europe and they attract no attention. “Do you know that the right eye is al- ways weaker than the left, and that a monocle is very frequently a necessity? Really they are a great comfort to the wearer, and I never read without it. “The one objection to them seems to be the senseless expression it gives the face. However, its presence or its absence does not change a man’s mentality. In putting it in place one has to open tne mouth and the eye very wide, all of which gives the countenance a peculiar cast. See, like this,” and the Count lengthened his face, inserted the glass and looked as insipid as possible.

The Assallant, an Ex-Member of the Fire Department, Escapes Across the Bay. Robert Muirhead, a boatman on the water front, was fatally stabbed last night by Ned Magner. Magner had been drinking in Comisky’s saloon, on East street, near Folsom, and became involved in arow with alongshore- man named Collins. Collins started to take off his coat, when Magner struck him in the faceand ran. At the door he met Muirhead, ' who was just entering the place, and stabbed him withouta word. He then ran toward Folsom street and dis- appeared in the darkness. Murhead, fell across the threshold of the saloon crying, “I'm cut.” He was carried inside and propped up in & chair till the arrival of the patrol-wagon, when he was removed to the Receiving Hospital. A little later Magner was seen making his way along East street, toward the ferry. A couple of men gave chase, but he caught the 11:15 boat across the bay. When Muirhead was taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital he was unconscious. Dr. Deane feund that he had been stabbed on the left side of the abdomen, and the knife had cut one of the large blood-vessels and bhad in all probability passed into the spleen. The doctor saia he was dying from internal hemorrhage and would not live many hours. Muirhead was employed as boat-puller by Henry Peterson. He was a steady, sober man, whose many friends on the water front speak well of him. Magner was formerly employed in the ire Department as extra man on engine No.9. Recently he has been doing odd jobs and loafing around the front. When in liquor he is very quarrelsome. Muirhead diea shortly after midnight. ———————— Painting 2 Korean's Portrait, A young Englishman visiting Korea was induced to paint the portrait of Prince Min Yomy Huan, commander-in-chief of the Korean land forces. Eleven o’clock in the morning was the time fixed for the sitting. At 6:35 o’clock the Prince, having been un- able to sleep for excitement, arrived at the place of aYpuintment, and the artist was forced to hop out of bed and begin work. ‘‘As 1 posed him,” said the artist, ‘‘he did not utter a word nor wink an eye, and during the*whole of the sitting of nearly three hours he sat motionless, like a statuc, ‘It is finished,” I finally said, and he sprang up in a childish fashion and came over to look at the work. His delight was unbounded, and he seized my hand and shook it at intervals for nearly half an hour, after which he suddenly be- came grave, stared at the canvas and then looked at the back of it. He seemed hor- | rified. ‘What is it?” I inquired. ‘You | have not put in my jade ornament,’ he | said, almost in despair. I had painted his portrait full face, and, as the Koreans have the strange notion of wearing their decora- tions in the shape of a small button of gold, silver, jade or amber behind the let | ear, this did not appear thereon. I tried hard to demonstrate, saying that it was impossible to show both back and front at nce, but as he seemed distressed at what Was to him a great defect, I compromised the matter by making another large and rapid sketch of him from a side point of view, so as to include the decoration and the rest rather magnified in size. ‘You will find no fault with this one,’ I re- marked with confidence. Alas! My Ko- rean sitter advanced to the portrait, seruti- nized it carefully, and turned to me ag- grievedly. ‘Yes,” he admitted, ‘you have painted my decoration well, but—where is Wy other eye?’ "—Chicago Times-Herald, | Muin Offiee, 129 to 135 Sonth Main St DEJARNATT&CO.
