Democrats are now loudly complaining that the Examiner- betrayed and deserted them during the last campaign; that it aided Con- gressman Barham in the First District by pub- lishing matter derogatory to his Democratic opponent, Mr. Cutler, and that it did notin- £ist upon the e'ection of Democratic Congress- men, a Democraiic Legisiature and a Demo- cratie United States Senator.

Another “Examiner” Fake Ex- rosed by Facsimiles I Themselves. Evidence of Witnesses to Filing of Trust D:ed to Be Introdue:d in Court. . Judge Slack ruled yesterday in the Fair trust deed contest that evidence of wit- nesses to the due execution of the will the purpose of showing that there was no in con- nection with the making of the trust cre. ated by the will of August 13, 1895. Thi: decision places the Fair chlidren and their attorneys in a most embarrassing position, because it was their intention, if the Su- preme Court’s decision on the trust were against them, to attack the will on the ground that the maker was insane. The present contest on the part of Charles L. Fair is to bring the question ot the valid- | ity of the trust before the Supreme Court | without permitting the will itself to be ruled upon. Some time in the future he may wish to | contest that will and he dees not want to be prevented by a final judgment. Upon this subject the formidable array of legal lights representing the various elements of the three-cornered case was engaged all of to the others.

If this trust is valia the property is ours. “What you should attack is the will creating this trust. We claim that Sena- tor Fair is dead; that he made this will creating this deed of trust; that it was his last will, and that he was of sound and | disposing mind when he made it.” | The case will be resumed in Judge | Slack’s court next Saturday morning. A few days since the Examiner, in keep- ; ing with its customary untruthfulness, published the statement that a starilin discovery had been made in the Fair witl | contest to the effect that Messrs, | | “Corvallhe and Ames, the New York ex- | perts on handwriting, had declared that | they haa decided that the signatures to the trust deed, the pencil and the other will, were all the same, as though traced { “‘faked” wasthat statement may be judged | irom the reproduction herewith furnished | from accurate tracinss made yesterday for | TuEe CaLL of photographsof the three doc- uments in tne possession of Delmas & Shortridge.

St. Matthew’s School of San Mateo is looked upon almost as a sure winner of the championship, but a football game is never won_until the last whistle blows. The Oskland High School, because of its proximity to the Berkeley campus and the information acquired by often watch- ing the college players, is considered a likely candidate for second place. ————————— STAGE RAIN AND NO WATER. Jenny Ward Huys to Build a Novel Electrical Apparatus. A bright little woman of versatile ideas and considerable experience in a theatri- cal and musical way arrived here yester- day for the purpose of having constructed in this City a new electrical device, of her own creation, to produce stage effects rep- | resenting dashing waterfalls and torrents of raindrops without the use of a drop of water. She is Jenny Ward Hays of Chi- cago, who began her professional career as a child elocutionist at 8 years of age. | When she was 12 years old she appeared in such a role in this City in the course of a tourof the whole country. Subsequently she staudied music in Milan, Italy, and re- turned to America to follow for years the profession of music and acting, during the pursuit of which she branched out into the composition of numerous pieces of vocal and instrumental music and the production of a long list of dramas, com- edies and monologues. She has consulted with several skillful -z & Spnanure 1o Deead Grneyg 4 Foine ui}a‘&wtflfflnc/? wille J’zjm&an of Deea 7o lMission ’;9“’9’ avi of Jansome STt Froperty Fac-Similes of the Three Celebrated Fair Signatures, Showing They Are Not Traced From One Model. with another of the same kind; that no one could be superposed so that it would coincide exactly with another; nor are the spacings and shadings the same in the different signatures, Theclaim was made that because a man never writes bis signa- ture exactly the same way twice, these signatures, because of their alleged uniformity to one copied design, were certainly all copied from a single original. The experts themselves are now in this Ciiy. Their reputations are too valuable to be forfeited by such a statement as that wronginlly credited to them. The attorneys for J. J. Cooney in his libel suit against Charles L. Fair gave no- tice yesterday that they propose on Fri- day mnext to move that the suit be dis- missed on the ground that the $500 dam- age bond has not been fited. In regard to the suit of Jerome Caldwell and the giving to the public of Senator Fair's characteristic private letters there are two or three facts that may be of in- terest. These letters, extending over a period from 1858 to the date of James G. Fair's death, supplied valuable examples of the handwriting of James G. Fair, It was upon such a comparison of these very let- ters that it was publicly stated that Charles L. Fair and his sisters and their attorneys came to the positive conclusion that the pencil will was genuine. When the letters were sent by Caldwell to Charles L. Fair Fair solemnly promised that be would return them upon Cald- well’'s request. Culdwell himself during the last few monhs has rep atedly asked for their re- turn and a few weeks ago, unsolicited, asked Delmas & Shortridge to secure the letters for him. Monday, before.the suit WAS bmuzba a formal demand in writing, accompanied by copies of ail of the letters, was served personaily on Charles L. Fair. He then refused to state whether he would or would not return the letters. A few hours afterward a_ second mes- senger was sent to im and saw one of his attorneys, to whom Fair bhad referred the matter, and who then told the messenger that if Mr. Delmas concluded that they would not return the letters bis conclusion would be correct. Tie result of suth an answer to a formal demand left but one course open under Caldwell's instructions to his attorneys. Buit was at once commenced, and since it was a suit for specific delivery of per- sonal property, that property had to be specifically deseribed. So far as Caldwell's interests are concerned, it is asserted that he has absolutely nothing to do with any ‘lowing Saturday alteruoonin three games. litigation that has been commenced or carried on by Dr. Marc Levingston or Mrs. Craven. HIGH SOHOOL FOOTBALL. ; State Championship to Be Decided in ‘Lhree Games Here, The eleven large preparatory schools of the central part of the Btate will decide their academic football championship at Central Park next Saturday and the fol- St. Matthew’s School of S8an Mateo will play the first game of the final series next BSaturday with the Btockton High School and experienced constructing electricians, and they have told her that her ideas for the- creation of novel spectacular stage effects are practical. One of these elec- tricians, himself an inventor, has come out from the East to aid in the making and perfecting of the necessary apparatus, the work on which Miss Hays will per- sonally direct, while she will help in the manual part as well. She hopes to have the mechanism constructed at the end of six weeks. Her vlan embraces not only real rain*and fountain effects, but bursts of bright sunshine following a summer stiower and its accompaniment of thunder and lightning. “I have always fel:,” said she yester- day, “that there is something lacking in stage storms. With ail their appearances they never have any rain. After obsery- ing Edison’s vitascope I began to study the matter of producing complete storm and water effects, and I have planned an elaborate apparatus for the purpose. Of course a rain effect alone wouid not do, so I uetermined to increase the repertoire that my invention might be more gen- erally useful and at the same time more valuable as a theatrical apparatus. Ihave arranged A dance where a naiad may rise and disport herseif gracefully in the midst of an apparently drenching water- fall and an umbrella” dance in which a little maid caught out in the rainstorm just preceding appears in the flashing sun- shine. Iam also striving for a real fla-h of lightning that will appear to strike the umbrella, but may bave to abandon it be- cause of the danger among so many sur- rounding electric wires.” BEATING A SEAMAN, A Sallor Boarding-House Runner Rung F¥oul of the United States i ‘ourts. William Bacon has been sentenced in the United States District Court to pay a fine of $100. » Bacon, representing himself to have the power of employing or getting employ- ment for sailors, obtained $5 from James Ennis, a seaman, a contract he did not and has not the legal right to carry out. . Manufactured Opium. On October 9 of last year Leong Suey was doing & thriving business manufacturing opium at 823 Washington street, but on that date Specia! Agent B. M. Thomas and Revenue Agent Cromwell swooped down upon him, piaced him under arrest for violating the reve. nue laws and confiscated twenty-one boxes of opium and & 1ot of boiling keitles.

Amid Scenes of Picturesque Carnage the Finest Marketing Place in the Country Formally Opens Up. The new Union - square Market at the corner of Powell and O'Farrell streets formally opened last night under most auspicious circumstances. Elaborate pre- parations had been made throughout the market for the occasion, and the various stails were dressed in the most becoming style. The Park band was in attendance and rendered sweet discourses amid the scene of picturesque carnage. The Union-square Market is 2 new and handsome place which was especially con- The Credit of Saving the San B:nito’s $5tructed for its present accupants, the for- Crew Is Given to the Weeott, The Hawaiian steamer James Spiers had her trial trip on the bay yesterday. A de- scription of the vessel has already been published in Twe CALL. On the trial spin down the bay and against the flood tide she made better time than the builders ex- pected, and with the tide she made better than fourteen kmots an hour. Allin all, the new vessel has surpesed anticipations and is a credit to San Francisco. In a few days she will leave for Honolulu and will take her place in the Inter-island Naviga- tion Company’s fleet. The James Spier has splendid cabin accommodations and almost every berth has already been en- gaged for the voyage to Hawaii. The hull of the new steamer was built by Matthew Turner and the machinery was put in by the Fulton Iron Works, of which James Spiers is president. The steam schooner Alcairaz got in from the wreck of the San Benito yester- day afternoon. She was caught in the same gale that proved the undoing of the stout collier, and at one time the steam schooner was in danger. Off Greenwood City the Alcatraz was hove to, and during tbe night the San Benito Ymod her en route for San Francisco. It was blowing a hurricane at the time and the forecastie of the Alcatraz was flooded and the crew bad to board up the companionway in order to keep the placedry. All the men lived forward during the remainder of the trip, and they say that never has the Al- catraz been through a wilder storm. When off Point Arena the wreck of the San Be- nito was sighted and the steam schooner stood by. According to the crew the sav- ing of the men in the rigging of the stranded collier must go to the credit of Mate Thompson and three of the men of the steamer Weeott. They ran all kinds of risks, while others looked on, ana took the men out of the rieging while those ashore and those on the vessels at sea held their breath in expectation of seeing the brave fellows dashed to death. Too much praise cannot be given to the officers and crews of the Point Arena, Weeottand Alcatraz. Allthree vessels stood by the strandea wreck, and in spite of wind and weather and the loss of time, hungon until every soul that could be saved was safe apoard one or other of the steamers. The Pucitic Mail Sieamship Company’s City of Peking arnved from Hongkong and way ports yesterdav. Her cabin pas- sengers were: Hon. J. W. Fosterand wife, Miss Lowber, Miss J. E. Lowber, Dr. H. M. Hiller, O. Opvenbeimer, W. F. Rich- ards, Miss Maud Ames, Count Kincken- stein, D. E. Dismukes, George W. Hooper, 0. A. Pooie, F. Rouse, Aubrey Fair, J. S. Bradstreet, H. Busse, Dr. W. H. Furness, A. M. Howe, Rev.J.C. Howe and H.T. Day. D’r. Furness and Dr. Miller have been to Borneo on a scientific expedition, They have secured many valuable specimens, which they will donate 10 some of the Eastern colleges. A revolution has taken place on the ferry steamer El Capitan. Kormerly only onecrew was employed; now there are two, and the little boat is on the same footing as the Bay City and Encinal. When Captain Rogers went on watch he found that hundreds of the passengers had to stand on the early morning and afiernoon trips. Heat once ordered 250 seats put aboard, and now all and sundry can get accommodation. Sfuce the trav- eling public began growiing the company has put on the Garden City and now the crews on the two boats alternate on the day and night wateh. There was trouble an the schoones Lilv L at section 1of the seawall yesterday. The owners cat the wages from 30 cents to 25 cents an hour and ail the men quit. The Shipowners’ Association sent down a new crew, and at one time a riot seemed im- minent. Captain Dunleavy sent down a squad from the Harbor police station to preserve order, but they were not wanted. Th+ longshoremen are muttering and a strike diong the front seems imminent. The steam scnooner National City shifted her deckload last Sunday and had to put into Monterey to repair damages. She was again in good order yesterday and pro- ceeded on her way to San Pedro with her load of lumber. The Britith ship Celtic Queen, from Santa Rosalia Jor Falmouth, had 'to put into Montevideo-with scurvy aboard. Two of t @ crew died and severai men had to be lettiin the hospital when the vessel sailea again. 3 The Andromeda put into portiast night. Captain Dolliver was on her and bad to re- main with the shipa week. The vessel was bound for Portland, but finslly orders were rivenw come into Ban Francisco.

It is one of the largest and finest marketing places in this country. The reputation ot the merchants who occupy this pew establish- ment is too. well known to require any extendea commendation, many of them having been tenants of the old Center market ever since it opened up, twenty years ago. Although the marketmen moved into their new home iast month, the formal opening has been deferred unzil this even- ing on account of the several arrange- ments in the interior of the builaing that has been going on, as well as the manage- ment having awaited the advent of Thanksgiving as a more opportune time for such an occasion. The marketis most centrally located and_offers conveniences that no other does. It has two handsome entrances. To-day and to-night the new building will wear its eala attire of toothsome viands to which it is devoted. All are in- vited to attend. THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL. Entertainment of the Lester Norris, Pacific ttreet and Produce Kx- change Kindergartens. One hundred and forty-five little ones, pupils of the Lester Norris, the Produce Exchange and Pacific-street kinder- gartens, enjoyed their annual Thanks- giving party at the rooms of the Norris Kindergarten on Pacific street. At the annual festival Mrs, B. F. Norris always officiates, and the bountifully spread table ana little souvenirs are all the gifts of the generous patroness. The kindergartens are under the direc- tion of Miss Bella Scott, assisted by Miss IBmedict. Miss Tregloan and Miss Cogh- an. The programme of exercises reflected great credit upon the teachers and the in- telligent little lads and lassies. The chil- dren vary in ages from 18 months to 6 years, and each seemed to vie with the other in the fulfiliment of his part of the morning entertainment. The complete programme of the exer- cises was as follows: Ring somg; prayer; greeting; orn; woodchopper r&ndmps;'w-m.‘g.n':g?cnon. see our preity windows”; “Who has a wel- come for father?” “Little squirrel.” Mrs. Cooper and Miss Cooper, who have never for the past sixteen years missed one of these festivals, were prevented on ac- count of Mrs. Cooper's illness from being present. ———— Along the west coast of Africa there are new 225 churches, 40,000 converts, 100,000 herents, 300 schools and 40,000 pv pi. fij\ w‘w‘d.

He Alludes to His Church Work and His Experience With Grant. The Biskop Will Preach To-Morrow and Will B: Given a Reception on Friday. The Rev. John P. Newman, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of the Methodist Episcpal Church, and Mrs. Newman arrived here from New York yesterday, and are at the Occidental. The eminent Bishop looks much as he did when on his last visit to California, He says, however, he is slightly lighter, weighing but 195 pounds, whereas he used to weigh 208, “But Ifind thatthat is as much as is consistent with piety,” said the distin- guished gentleman last night as he smiled and talked of his health. “I carry my gymnasium apparatus with me. It con- sists of pullies and ropes or chest weights for exercising the shoulders, arms and body. 1 formerly used dumbbells and other similar apparatus, but I found they were too severe forme. I learned that lighter exercise was better. I eat very little, walk a good deal, and everything considered, manage to keep in excellent health, *Iam the fourth Methodist Episcopal Bishop sent to California. The first was Bishop Peck, the next was Fowler and the last was Goodsell. I had a choice of five places and from the five chose California. A Bishop in the Methodist church travels oftentimes forty weeks in the year. My postoffice for the past eight years has been Omaha. For the next four it will be here. “From what I learn our people are prosperous in this State, and the church is doing fairly well. They ex- pect hara work from me, I believe, for there are a good many churches to dedi- cate and other work to do. On Thanks- giving we will have a union service at the Central M. E. Church on Howard street. “This is my sixth visit to this State. I was here last in 1890, after I was elected Bishop, while en route to the Sandwich Islands and Japan. I was also here in 1885, and came previously with Senator Stanford. I was with President Grant for nine years, or from the time he was in- augurated till hedied.” The Bishop inquired about the rivalry between Stanford and Berkeley nniversi- ties, and said he liked to see it, provided there was no_bitterness. He also asked about the condition of the Stanford Uni- versity, in which he had always taken a great interest. “1f T had a son,” said the Bishop, "I would have him become a journalist.
