H H. Hart Re- ceives $400,000 From the Blythe Estate A fight to the He was Sued for Moaey Advanced by W. F. Goad When the Litigation Was in P-ogress W. H. H. Hart has received a fee of $400,000 from Florence Blythe-Hinckley for his services in her behalf in the iitiga- tion over the estate of Thomas Biythe At least that is what W. F. Goad claims in a complaint filed ‘in the County Clerk’s of- fice yesterday. It seems that Hart bor- rowed $i0,000 from Goad some time ago, giving as security for the money an agree- ment to pay Goad the $10,000 and interest out of the first money he received for ser- vices as attorney in the Blythe litigation then pending. Hart had an agreement with James C. Perry, guardian of Florence Blythe, by | the terms ,of which Hart was to receive 1234 per cent of the estate in case his client won. Subsequently another agreement, | under date of February 29, 1896, was made, by the terms of which Hart’s 1234 per cent of the estate was to be allowed to remain with the major part, and he was to receive one-eighth of the income from month to month. The value of a one-eighth interest in the estate is $400,000 and Goad claims that by reason of the agreement Hart has received compensation for his services and, there- fore, sues for the $10.000 due. An order for a sale of the property is asked and such ov.l:ernlis! as the court may deem equit- able. At the same time that the complaint was filed in the County Clerk’s office, At- torney Goad haa a writ of lis pendeus recorded covering Attorney Hart’s interest in the Biythe estate. The writ enumerates all of the Blythe properties in this City and the countr% real estate as well. This will have the effect of preventing a settle- ment of the estate until the litigation is settled or a bond sufficient to cover the amount in dispute 1s forthcomin z. TENNIS CRACKS COMING Neel, Larned and Wrenn, Three Eastern Champions, to Compete at San Rafael. Private advices received here yvesterday state that three great Eastern tennis players are soon coming to California. They are Robert D. Wrenn, holder of the singles championship of America; Carr B. Neel of Chicago, formerly an Oakland boy, who with his brother recently won | the doubles championship of America, and W. 8. Larned, the runner-up at the National tournament held at Newport. A special tournament will be arranged on tne San Rafael courts for these visitors and the cracks of California. The date of the meet is not detinitely settled but an endeavor will be made not to have it con- flict with the regular fall tournament. This meeting will probably give one of the Hardy brothers an opportunity to meet Neel, who was a fellow clubman of the Hardys when they were all developing in- to skillful players several years ago in Oeakland.

While strongly championing the elec- tiorn of Bryan the paper will vigorously object to Watson's being relegated to the position of tail to the Democratic kite. That is, some of those interested in the venture so assert, while others are slightly dubious, and do not know whether they are willing to throw a bombshell upon the chance of fusion or not. The idea of such an organ was evolved about three weeks ago, when a California journalist, well known also in the legal profession, approached certain members of the Populist State Executive Commit- tee and proposed the plan to them. If it met with favor in their eyes, he stated, he would be perfectly willing to undertake the management of the paper. After a good deal of powwowing in the People’s party wigwam the idea was finally declared to be feasible. The paper will be gnblished under the | management of the State Executive Com- mittee. The field bas already been canvassed, | and as a purely business venture it is deemed a success. Every Populist will be asked to use his best efforts to forward the interests of the paper. | The first issue will come from the press | September 12. At least, the paper will be | issued on that date if nothing untoward | occurs to mar the harmcnious action of | the gray-bearded chiefs of the wigwam } Populiua. | Hon. J. Taylor Rogers yesterday admit- | ted that such & weekly is to be issued. He | said it is not to be considered as a news- paper, but simply as a poiitical weekly, devoted to the interests of the People’s party in this State. “It will be a bright, breezy paper of out the size of the Argonant,” he added, ‘and will probably be edited by Populists of high standing in the community. Thé management will be under a California journalist, who has also a copious knowl- edge of the law. ““The first issue will be on_September 12. When I mention this date it must be un- derstood that the statement is not iron- clad. Something may occur in the interim to warrant a change.’” Dr. George W. Daywalt also admitted the important facts of the ¢ase. “We have long felt the need,” he said, “of a paper that will speak forth the true Democracy of Jefferson, the exalted Re- publicanism of Lincoln, and will appeal to the patriotism of all parties to get the administration of government back to the fundamental truthsof political economy.” But there is a bare poss.bility that the weekly may yet fail to cast its sparkling | rays o'er the multitude and set up a| rivalry to the shining orb of day. E. 8. | Barney, editor of the ‘“Voice of Labor,” | from purely philanthropic motives per- nngs. is known to be bitterly opposed to it and is using all his influence, the knowing ones whisper, to discourage the move- ment. Many other editors of Populist organs throu hout the State who have been consulted are secretly throwing cold water on the project. CHIN:SE CHILDREN. A Decision by Judge Troutt Which any one who is usea to dealing with this class of Chinese knows that the children would instantly be spirited away if legal steps were taken. “Judge Coffey may give us letters of guardianship for the two little children found ‘at 2314 Ross alley, but I have very little hope that they will ever be produced in court.” g . Mrs. Hull believes that there will be no difficulty in proving that the alleged mother of the children is not the mother at all. “Sheis a woman who has been in the habit of buying and selling little slave girls for the last fifteen years. We have two girls in the home now whom she im- ported from China and who escaped from siavery in her house.” WASHINGTON’S ADIEU. Its Centennial Will Be Celebrated by the Sons of the American Revolution. - Next Thursday will be the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the treaty of Paris, whereby the United Colonies were acknowledged to be sovereign and in- dependent States. It is an occasion which is each yearappropriately honored by the So- ciety of Sons of the American Revolution throughout the entire Union, and while the coming anniversary will not be so ex- tensively observed by the California soci- ety as usual, there will be an important stated meeting held in the rooms of the society in Pioneer Hall that evening. On this oceasion, in addition to the proper observance of historical matters, there will be voted for admission to mem- bership a large number of applicants, among whom are Thomas Allen g&rfins. Eugene de Kay Townsend, Edward Olney, Hart Hyatt North, Charles A. Sumner, George Whitney Reed, William Heneage Kinch, George R. Presson, Leonard Stock- well Clark, Bethnel M. Newcomb, William Gilman Badger and Captain James Wil- liams. One reason why the coming anniversary of the treaty of peace will receive less than usual attention, is owing to the fact that the California society is making extensive preparations for observing the one bun- dredth anuiversary of Washington’s fare- well address to the people, which will take place Saturday evening, September 19. The occasion will be made brilliant by addresses delivered by Hon. Horace Davis, E. P. Cole, Colonel John 8. Mosby and other eloquent speakers. Judge E. W. McKinstry, president of the society, will be chairman, and at the banquet, which will be at the California Hotel, there will be assembled several bundred of the brightest talent in San Francisco, embrac- ing medicine, the clergy, the law, journal- ism and every other profession. ANOTHER STORE ADDED Poheim, the Well-Known Tailor, Opens Another Handsome Place on Market Street. There is not a better known merchant tailor on the coast than Joe Poheim. For mauy years past he has been supplying his legions of customers stylisk, perfect fitting clothing made 1o order at 2 low, and in many cases, lower prices than clothing of equal grade cap be had for ready made. During these vears he has built upa splendid reputation and a con- stantly increasing business and in order to accommodate his rapidly growing trade Mr. Poheim has found it necessary to open another store at 846 Market street, jusi opposite Fourth. This makes four stores that he has in operation in this City—one at the corner of Mantgomery and Bush stree s, another | at 724 Market street and a third at 1110 | and 1112 Market st reet. Mr. Poheim attributes his success to the fact that he n.wn{{s deals squarely with all his customers. His stock is an immense one, of varied grades and patterns, and in- cludes every fabric nsed in the manufac- ture of men’s clothing. In fit he is with- ont a superior, as he employs none but high-class cutters. The best or workmen are employed and every garment is most carefully finished. The best of trimmings and linings are | used and the finished garments equal in every respect those turned out by the swellest tailors in the lana. There is only one difference. It 1s the price. Poheim’s clothing, while equal to the best, costs only about one-half what others charge. For instance, $10 will buy a good suit, $15 an excellent one, $20 one that is a thoroughbred, while $25 will buy a suit that most other pluces ask $40 or $50 for. Mr. Poheim cha'lenges comparison with any other tailors in the land and says that in the all-important essentials of fabrics, fit, finish and trimmines he is far and away in the lead of all competitors. On this question he is willing that any of his long-time cusiomers shall be the judge—confident that they will uphold all nis claims of superiority for his made-to- order clothing. Joe Biondi Honored. Biondi closed his engagement at the Or- pheum last night, and his friends of the Italian colony emphasized their appreciation ot him as an artist and gentleman by present- ing him with a gold medal. Mr. Alvini first read & letter from Gustay Walters, stating that the silver card which he had intended to resent to Mr. Biondi had not been finished y the engraver and would be forwarded to him at Los Angeles. Mr. Alvini then present- ed him with a large bouquet and a gold medal. Biondi repiled in Italian in neat terms. He was loudly cheered and received several en- cores. —————————— To Accommodate Voters.

W = EN PREPARING FOR BATTLE. The Campaign to Open With a Monster Mass- Meeting, GREAT PREPARATIONS. Mrs. Carrie Chapman-Catt Will Make Her Debut in San Francisco. Encouraging News of Equal Suffraze in All P rts of th: S -te. On the evening of the 10th of Septem- ber the Woman Suffragists will open their battle for the ballot in California. The opening engagement will take the form of a mass meeting in Metropolitan Temple, and promises to be a grand affair. “Thus far,” exclaimed Miss Mary Hay, chairman of the State Central Committee, “our work has been of a preparatory nature. To be sure there have been talks and skirmishes, but we were only testing our weapons, so to speak. The fight will commence on the 10.h of Septemher, and until the very day of the election. Then we will be able to rest on our laurels. “We are taking measures to render our coming rally a great event in the political history of this State. Californians seem to love music, so we shall bave a lttle of San Francisco’s best, which I know is far abead of that heard in many larger cities, As for speakers each political party will countribute its best orator for the occasion. while we women will do what we can. Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw are well known for theireloquence by this time, so we will have a new attraction in Mrs. Carrie Chapman-Catt, whose oratorical powers have called forth innumerable plaudits from Eastern audiences. *‘Mrs. Catt can almost be called a Cali- fornian, as she nas passed many years of her life in tbis State. She isone of the most charming women I ever met and has a way of gaining the sympathies of ber hearers which is iruly magnetic. Her debut before a San Francisco audience is sure to be a brilliantly successful one, and | we count on her as one of the big guns of the campaign. < 3 “By the way,” continned Miss Hay, "I ought to say something about the way in | which THE CALL's stand for woman suf- frage has affected our movement. People | in the interior look upon it as our official | paper. It may seem rather enrlly to ecrow over our_expected success, but I venture the prediction that when November comes it wili be found that THE CALL has been with the winning horse. “In obedience to directions from this bureau, the county organizers waited upon the chairmen of all the political clubs in the interior towns with a view to ascertain whether suffragist speakers would be acceptable at the larger meet- ings. In every instauce the proposals met with the most cordial acceptance. Not permissions to speak, but pressing invita- tions to do so have come from Republican, Democratic_and Populist leaders all over the State.
