The State Fair directors have made Tues- day, September 10, Native Sons day, and have prepared a special speed programme for the afternoon, an athletic competition for the morning and an illustrated concert in the evening, dedicated to the Native Sons. The Uniform Rank K. of P. of 1 ee will parade with a drum corps of hteen young ladies. tive Daughters of Grass Valley and Nevada City will escort the Native Sons from those towns, who will wear white duck suits with blue sashes. The decoration committee has decided on erecting two arches sixty-five feet high on J and K streets and a tower arch ninety- five feet high, the latter the welcome arch. The Assembly chamber of the State Capitol will be the reception-room of all the Sacramento parlors.

San Jose Parlors Will Form a Pull- man Excursion—Thirty Bands Will Muslc. At the meeting of the joint committee of San Francisco parlors appointed to ar- range for the Native Sons’ celebration at Sacramento on September 9 last evening, the parade committee reported that the | procession would form at Golden Gate | avenue and Market street, marchingdown | the latter thoroughfare to Kearny street; thence to. Bush, to Market, to the ferry. Grand Marshal Marston reported that two mounted aids from each San Fran- cisco parlor would assist in the parade. An invitation to the celebration was ten- dered to the Exempt Firemen and Veteran Firemen. Pacific Parlor No. 10 bas adopted a uni- form for the celebration consisting of Wwhite cap, tie and vest, with light¥inted Japanese parasols. The parior will main- tain headquarters at Knights of Pythias Hall. The Second Regiment band will furnish music for the parlor in the parade fl?dI at. its ball to be given on I\Emday night. Precita Parlor No. 187 has secured head- quatters at Foresters’ Hall, where they will entertain their friends. A drum corps of five will parade with the parlor hereand in Sacramento. The members will wear white duck pants, colored sash, negligee shirts; windsor ties, white straw hats and carry Japanese parasols. _Seguoia Parlor No. 160 will be with Pre- cita Parlor. Rincon Parlor has adopted a uniform | | the State University meets, some day ! should be accepted. tend making the cars their headquarters and sleeping guarters. Secretary Henderson said that there would be apward of thirty different bands at Sacramento and more music would be discoursed in the three days’ celebration than in thirty years before. SITEFUR THE COLLEGS ‘A Question Which Is Puzzling the Members of the State Committee. Doctor Beverly Cole and Mr. Beckett Express Thelr Views in Favor of His Offer. There promises to be a lively time when the Committee having in charge the selec- tion of a site for the Affiliated Colleges of dur- ing the coming week. Ever since the ap- propriation was ‘made by the last Legis- lature of $250,000 for buildings for the colleges the committee appointed to look after the matter has been seeking a site | whereon the buildings could be erected. Some eighteen or twenty sites have been offered, but as many involved purchase money, and as there is no appropriation | for the buying of a site, the committee looked upon such offers with a * eve,” as the slang phrase goes. Now it has settled down to about two proposi- tions. One is the offer of Mayor Sutro to give twelve acres of land on J street, near Fourth avenue, adjoining a similar sized tract upon which he will erect his library building, and the other is the proposition to locate the library on the three square blocks bounded by Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Bryant street and Potrero avenue. For this property $50,000 is the latest offer ie, and if the same is accepted the pur- money will have to be raised by sub- It is between these two propositions that the committee is divided, and so close is the feeling that it is doubtfnl just how the matter will go. Dr. R. Beverly Cole, the irman of the committee, is unqualifiedly in favor of accepting Mayor Sutro’s offer. “It is in my opinion,” he said, “a_gcner- ous gift, and taken in connection with the fact that his magnificent library, which alone represents a fortune, will be located next door to our college buildings, it I will not say but that site would be more advan- s to the the Potrero tageous, because of its nearne City and also to the County Hospital, but then the City is growing rapidly westward, and it is to the future that we_must look. Then again here is a site offered us for nothing, and if we take the other we would be obliged to go around begging for money to purchase it with. “It 1s a question whether we could raise it ornot. Even if we could, though, there will be an outlay for the erection of em- bankments and grading, not to take into consideration the smaliness of the prem- ises in comparison with the Sutro tract and the bad fncanun. It is no place for the college building down in that swamp hol- low, anvhow. As to the extent of land, since making a tour through the Eastern | States I am convinced that it is too small. For such a purpose we cannot have too much ground around the building, as in time extended quarters will necessarily be required. Then, again, speaking of the Potrero land, there are Hampshire and York streets running through it. ““Can those streets be closed? The ques- tion involved is one which requires serious attention. In accepting the Sutro tract we have no difficulties to contend with | and all the money we would have to ex- pend is in the erection of the buildings.” F. A. Beckett, another member of the committee, was a hearty indorser of all that Dr. Cole said regarding the Sutro tract. He has been holding conferences with the Mayor on the subject and has yained several concessions which may | have some weight with the committee when the matter comes before it for con- sideration. “When I spoke to Mr. Sutro,” said Mr. Beckett, “I found that he took a great in- terest in the matter and that he was anxious to co-operate in every possible way. 1 told him that while his gift was one to be appreciated still there should be some appropriation made for the support of the library which he proposed to locate on the tract. He thought that the sugges- tion was a good one and made out an agreement that if we accepted his offer and located the Affiliated Colleges on his tract he would give three blocks on the north side of J street in trust for the benefit and sup- port of the library, One of these blocks 1s worth $190,000 and the whole represents $300,000. “Taken in connection with the library and college tract, the total valuation is over $500,000. But aside from monetary considerations, I think that everything should be done to keep that incomparable library of Mr. Sutro’s in this City, and here is our opportunity. Also, Mr. Sutro has agreed to give usall the red rock we require for macadamizing the roads in and around the tract, and for any other purposes for which we may require it. I think ihe committee will accept the proposition.” Notwithstanding Dr. Cole’s and Mr. Beckett’s hopes, there is reported to be a feeling among some members of the com- mittee in favor of the Potrero site, and when the matter comes up for settlement the discussion will be warm, and the out- come is something that can only be guessed at. HER MOTHER-IN-LAW, The Peculiar Position in Which Mrs. Mollie French Was Placed Is Told in Court. A peculiar case on a search-warrant was heard by Judge Low yesterday. Mrs. Mollie French was the complainant and Mrs. Sarah French of 31 Qak Grove avenue the defendant. They stand in the relation of daughter-in-law and mother- in-law. Mrs. Mollie’s husband died recently in his mother’s house, leaving her with two young children. Before his death he had taken all their wedding presents and a number of articles belonging to his wife and children to his mother’s house. Atfter his death Mrs. Mollie asked her mother-in-law for the effects of her hus- band and her own and children’s effects, but the mother-in-law refused to part with them. Mrs. Miller thereupon applied for a search-warrant and the disputed articles were brought into court yesterday. The mother-in-law said she had paid her son’s funeral expenses and she would not ive up the effects unless her daughter-in- aw refunded the money. “Heow can I do that,”’ said Mrs. Mollie, with tears in her eyes, “when your son left me nothing with two young children to support?’ G C Ry Judge Low decided to divide the effects equally. between them, A LAWSUIT AS A GAME, California Invention Suggested by the Martin Will Case. LEGAL WHIST AS A NOVELTY. The Inventor Is John Q. Brown of the Clerk’s Office to the Supervisors, During the progress of the Martin will case the number of people who dropped into the office of the clerk of the Board of Supervisors from the upper corridors of the City Hall asking all manner of foolish questions, chiefly the way to the court- room, took up a large part of the time of the clerks there. Mrs. Isabella Martin herself called in once or twice with a ques- tion or two, for it seems to be common knowledge that if Mr. Russell’s assistants don’t happen to know everything they have at ieast exhaustive patience—and, besides, they do know pretty nearly everything in their line. When the lawyers began theéir long speeches it will be remembered the' ordin- ation was continued, and as reports came from ticket agents who had been charged with mieage ticket books in Cook's ac- counts it was learned thatsuch tickets had not been sent out of the office. The infer- ence was that they were sold at head- | quarters and charged to outside agents, while the money received was not turne into the company’s safe. The fraudulent work began early in July, when a great many mileage tickets were sold to travelers in the head office and | charged to country agents. These opera- | tions coutd not have lasted long as a return lo the auditor would at once disclose a | discrepancy in comparison with reports from ticket agents, and in such a case the | whole matter could qulckl{ be located. | Cook disappeared before the time for | making a report to the general auditor. | The company was secured in Cook’s case | by the National Surety Company, which | bas paid over §2700 already, and has been | searching for the missing cashier, who was last seen on a train at Ogden going East. Cook belongs to a good family in San Francisco. He went into nice society, was popular in and out of the railway office and had very bright prospects for advance- ment. | HELP FOE TRE NEEDY. i Z ‘ The Knights of Pythias’ Relief Bureau Doing Good Work. At the annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias in Monte- | rey last May laws were framed for a bureau of relief to benefit transient members. Its headquarters were to be in this City. The consent of all the lodges in the City | has already been secured and the bureau | is now thoroughly organized. It is doinz excellent work. Relief has | been given to many members and benefitg THE WiDow's MAID THE DETECTIVE THE POLICEMAI & THE 5| « |CONTESTAN TANTS ICHILD NOu JURYMEN SuiT SPECTATORS Suit M ary courtroom became too small for the public pressure upon it, and Judge Coffey took possession of the Supervisors’ meet- ing-room, which adjourns the clerk’s office. For days and days the shouting of the lawyers, which the thick walls could not keep out, formed an accompaniment to the routine work of the clerk’s office. and people, discovering that they could get into the courtroom through the office, iled in in such numbers that the doors had to be kept locked, to the great annoy- ance of those who had business in the office itself. The great interest so manifested by the public made an impression upon Assistant Clerk John Q. Brown Jr. “It's a great game,” so many of them said as they jostled in and out that at last the saying carried to Mr. Brown an idea. Yesterday Mr. Brown received through the maul official notice that his application for & patent on the idea had been granted. 1t is a new and, as Mr. Brown says, *‘a great game.” It is,called ‘‘The Widow’s Lawsuit or Legal Whist.” It isthe result of several evenings' hard thinking on the partof the inventor, in which he evolved an idea in games so entirely distinctive from all others that a patent was granted. The game has been played enough pend- ing the coming of the patent to have al- ready an army of enthusiastic votaries. rv one of them says it is fascinating. The game represents a suit at law, where a widow is trying to uphold the will of her deceased husband in favor of herself and two children against the machinations of a contestant, who brings in a child—a pre- sumptive heir—to make claim to a portion of the fortuue. It is played with fifty-two cards upon a chart representing a' trial as it actually ap- pears, and as represented in the diagram. Each card represents a distinct and sep- arate character, such as the judge, widow, lawyers, spectators, etc., each being a col- ored lithograph. The cards consist of six suits of unequal number in each 'suit, cor- responding to the suits or groups upon the board, and_ five independent cards. These are the widow’s lawyer, the contestant's lawyer, the contestant, the contesiant’s chiid and the omnipotent policeman. The cards are dealt one at a time to the ayers, as in whist, and any number can y from two up, although four or six vers make the most interesting game. 1 of each suit can be played first, and must be played before the next following can be played. You must play if possible, and if not, pass. The "judge is No. 1 of his suit, and the widow’s boy of the widow’s suit.” The object of the game is to do one of three things: First, win for the widow; second, win for the contestant’s child, and third, hang the jury. ¥ ‘“The widow or contestant’s child cannot win until the respective lawyers are played,” said Mr. Brown in explaining the game yesterday, “and you cannot play the lawyers until all the jurymen and the judge’s suitare played.” Then in turn the lawyers are played, and when the widow lawyer is played the widow may be played, thus winning for her, and likewise the same with the contestant. You hang the jury when you can dispose of all your cards before any one can accomplish result Nos. lor2.” Few people realize the difficulty of ob- taining a patent from the United States Government upon a game, because of the lack of the development of a principle or the grasping of a new idea. The patentee is a native Californian, and a graduate of the State University. Being wholly a native effort it is the in- tention of the inventor to publish the game here in San Francisco, depending upon home manufacturers to accomplish the successful inauguration of his patent. COOK'S ACCOUNTS SHORT, Deficit of Nearly $3000 inthe Books of the Southern Pacific Ticket Cashier, The fact transpired Friday that the ac- counts of James D. Cook, ex-cashier in the Southern Pacific passenger department at Montgomery and Market streets, were short to the amount of nearly $3000, Cook disappeared about two weeks ago in a most peculiar manner without ac- quainting his most intimate friends or rel- atives that he was going away. He left his desk in the passenger oflice as usual one evening, but the next morning he failed to appear. Inquiry was made but no trace of the missing cashier could then be obtained. Immediately an expert was put to work on his books. At first he failed tofind discrepancies, but the examin- No. have been distributed among the sick. No undeserving cases have been turned away. ATHLETES fiflSHBUTEHS’. The Burlingame Club Did Not Grass Pigeons Yester- day. Director Eaton of the Olymplo Club May Be the Next President. Notes. The Alameda County Sportsmen’s Club held its monthly shoot yesterday at the Empire grounds, Alameda mole, and the following is a result at twenty-five single bluerocks, known angles: Slade 20, Seaver 20, Barney 18, Adams 14, Worth 13, Rus- sell 13, Nelson 3. Some pool shooting fol- lowed, but few of the members participated. Owing to the fact that the most expert | trap-shooters of the Burlingame Club are | at present at Del Monte arranging for the | big shoot that will be held there in a few | weeks, the proposed pigeon shoot which | was to have taken place yesterday at Bur- lingame was indefinitely postponed. The | Country Club will hold its second last | shoot of the season on Wednesday at the Oakland track, and a large gathering of shooters is expected tobe on hand to make up for the shoots they missed during the season. It was stated last evening by a promi- nent member of the Olympic Club that Mr. Eaton. who is now a director of the club, will be placed at the bead of the regular ticket, as Mr. Crocker refused the honor, owing to business affairs, which will occupy his entire attention. The nominators intend to recommend Mr. Eaton for treasurer, but_he positively de- clined to run against Mr. Russ, who has filled that office with great credit to him- self and the club for s number of years, The fight, if any, will certainly be divided | between the members who have been named respectively for.leader and captain. A Stockton correspondent writes that a new bicycle club has been formed by the local wheelmen of Stockton. The Oak | Leaf Wheelmen were absorbed by the | Stockton Athletic Association recently, and all of the furniture and billiard-tables | in their clubrooms were );urchnsed by the association. The new club was formed among the men who think they cannot afford to join the Athletic Association. On the 25th inst. the Garden City Cycling Club of San Jose will send out a delegation to make the run to Stockton. The new Stockton Club hopes to be well organized by that time, and in a position | to give the visitors some fitting reception and entertainment while here, The interest in athletics fis increasing daily and classes are now being formed in the Athletic Association under the direc- tion of Charles Moth, at.present the in- structor in the club gymnasium. A move- | ment -is on foot to arrange a match be- | tween Moth and a ycungfiarmer who lives in this county named S. Seeley. The Stockton Gun Club has apnointed a committee to see if a match cannot be arranged with one of the gun clubs of San | Francisco. The idea is to hold three | shoots, one at Oakland, one at Stockton |and one at some place to be mutually agreed upon afterward. The club has offered a special medal to be contested for | by members of the club. The medal must be won four times be- fore it can become the property of any one. There will be three more of the Kimmer medal shoots 'before the season closes. R]ichnds leads Ellis by one bird for first place. 5 The Stockton Athletic Association in- tends to send a team to Sacramento on Admission day to contest in the field- day games. Several members of the bicycle annex will enter the races at Sacra- mento. A A feature of the Agricultural Fair here this year will be the bicycle races, some- ;h_ing that has not been tried at previous airs. The boat crews are training hard for the races at Sacramente on Admission day, Irela Suit for %75,000.

THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Wheel of Fortune Fairly Turned the Talent Upside Down. BROKE THE COAST RECORD. The Two-Mille Hurdle Race a Good Thing for Mestor, Ridden by Hennessy. Joe Harvey did not attend the races yester- day to see his record-breaking filly rum, but had a heavy commission down on her just the same. All the books were hit hard by Hello’s win. By the way the coin went in on him one would think the race all over before the flag sent them away. Catherine the First, the sister to Peter the Great, who made her maiden essay in the two-year-old handicap, seemed unable to get under svay the first part of the race, but toward the end thawed out and showed a world of speed. Joe Piggott was originally engaged to ride Heartsease, but Mr. Macdonough had a starter in the race and refused to allow the boy to ac- cept the mount. It made a great difference with owner Humphrey, for with Piggott in the saddle she could hardly have lost. *‘Around she goes and when she stops nobody knows.” This was once a familiar sound at the racetrack. The name of Joe Harvey and the wheel game were insepar- able. Circumstances over which Mr. Harvey had no control arose and the busy buzz of the wheel was no longer heard. Then its owner turned his attention to horseflesh. He purchased a dainty- looking daughter of Gazo and named her after the gambling device that had brought him riches—Wheel of Fortune. The chestnut filly has shown good form of late, yet when she came up in the mile and a furlong handicap yesterday with but 98 pounds up the talent couldn’t see her. Oh, no! Flirtilla was the caper, and she went to the post a decidedly warm, even- money favorite. Three to 1 about the Wheel and 5to 1 each Claudius and Charmer told the story of the other starters. One spin told the story. Jones on Wheel of Fortune took the lead passing the stand, and rattling off the mile in 1:40)¢ soon had the others all driving. Without a falter she maintained her lead and finishing under full sail assed the finishing post & length and a En]f in front of Flirtilla, and by way of diversion clipped a quarter of a second off the coast record, hanging up a mark of 1:5334 for the distance, which is liable to stand for some time. Claudius ran an ex- cellent race, finishing a close third. The fine weather brought out a good at- tendance, the betting ring resembling old times. Four of the six favorites won and the crowd went home in good humor. The 2 to 1 favorite, Gonzales Maid, tripped away from the poor lot of skatesin the opening dash of five furlongs, winning handily in 1:03 from Suro. The weather seemed to suit the old roan hoss Tim Murphy in the second race, also u five-furlong spin, for he went out a 9 to 10 favorite and fairly smothered his field, hanas down from Road Runner, winnin, a 50 to 1 shot, who ran a surprisingly good race, ridden by Frank Jackson. Gold Bug, of which great things were expected, fin- ished third. The two-yvear-olds in the short six-fur- long handicap. furnished a very pretty contert. Heartsease on her previous fine showing was a_pronounced choice, 7 to 10 at post time béing scarce. The majority of the pencilers made a book with the favorite barred. Grady was a well-backed second choice, with Joe K next in de- mand. ‘When the flag dispatched them, Jones on Grady set out for the lead, and as he rounded the bend for home two lengths in front of the favorite, the chances of the second choice looked indeed bright. He was joined a little later by Joe K and Heartsease, and it wasa_case of hammer and tongs to the wire. By superior riding Hinrichs on Joe K got there first by a head, and Grady downed the favorite the same distance for second place. The win- ner ran a fine race, after ‘looking appar- ently out of 1t at one stage. A five furlong dash for maidens was fifth on the card, and the crowd jostled each other in their efforts to get aboard Jockey Charley Weber’s gelding Hello. They gounded the odds against him down from 2to1 to even money at post time. Bob Tucker, Uncle Giles and Yreka carried most of the other money bet. The race resulted in an easy win for the favorite, although it looked as though Little Pete would give him a tussle as the field struck the stretch. The latter fin- ished second, two lengths behind the leader, with Bob Tucker a good third. The five starters in the two-mile hurdle race furnished some lively betting. The Lark,J O C and Webster, all opened at 214 t0 1, but when the horses were called ou’ the latter had been backed down to 6to 5. The plunger proved a wise one, for Hennesgy on Mestor let Gold Dust cut out the pace, even indulging him with the lead up to and over the last hurdle, when he cut loose and won bya lenith easily. J O C finished a fair third. The time, 3:49)4, could have been bettered by the winner, who carried 142 pounds. MULHOLLAND, SUMMARY. 8AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10, 1895. Two hundred and forty-first day.
