THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL; TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1896. 11 A3 THEY WERE MARY YEARS AGO “The Cross-Roads School” to Be Given for Church Benefit. Well-Known Ladies, - Pastors, Judges and Army Officials to Take Part. The Elderly Children Have Been Sub- dued at Rehearsal and Are Ready for Examination. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Nov. 30, 1896. Society has decided to come to the res- cue of Rev. Edwards Davis of the Central Next Friday night Christian Church. J. W. McClymonds, Who Will| Inspect the Schoul many of the best known elderly ladies | and gentlemen will take part in a novel entertainment for which they are now making the mecessary unique p repara tions. The entertainment will take the form of “the Cross Roads School under inspec- | fion,” and it 1s under the charge of Mrs. Ada Van Pelt. The programme consists of a class .of thirty who take the part of schoolchildren Captain Thomas Will Teach How to Spell “Yacht.” and who will endeavor to be as they were fifty years ago, for the purpose of helping a worthy cause. > Captain Thomas will take the place of teacher and his class will consist of people Dr. A, Corawall Will Try to Re- peat the Alphabet Correctly. who will no doubt find it very difficult to wear short pants &s they must do for the | occasion. Dr. Cornwall, Pastor Davis’ aged father, Judge Gibson, Colonel Hus- sey, Dr. Pratt, Mr. Zucher, William Melvin, Harry Melvin and many others equally well known will show their pro- ficiency by singing the scale and pronoun? cing their alphabet correctly and spelling without mistakes, and repeating the mul- liglicanou 1able. Mrs. M. K. Blake, Mrs. Zucher, Mrs Blake-Alverson and many other ladies will take the partof the girls, and from what is known in this city of their dra- matic ability it is certain that they will prove fully equal to _their parts. Ata re- cent rehenrsgl the affair was 8o absolutely funny that several of the elderly school- children required severe reprimands be- fore they would attend to their duties, but Mrs. Van Pelt saysshe now has confidence that by Friday pight, when the show comes off, there will be little or no nieed of strap, rattans or other instruments of ju- venile torture, City Superintendent of Schools J.McCly- monds will take the role of inspector, and as he is a candidate for re-election by the next School Board it is safe to say that he will do nothing to hurt the feelings of those scholars at least who have voted these twenty years. i Many amusing features will be intro- duced, and while the procramme is not yet fully completed enough is known to insure a roaring time. Rev. Edwards Davis is a programme in himselt. He has not yet confided to his co-workers just what his specialty will be for the occasion, but there is no doubt that whatever he undertakes will be original and well done. The last rehearsal will be beld Wednesday evening, and in | the meantime the many artists are busy | preparing their enchanting costumes. It was originaliy intended to call the affair an old folks’ concert, but besides being somewhat of a reflection on some members of the company the name was entirely too nnatractive, so ‘“The ‘Cross-roads School Inspection’ was decided upon. WaS CALLED SUDDENLY, Mrs. Meta Hashagen Dies After Attending a Home Musicale. Electric-Car M:n Want Newspapers and Magazines for Their Reading-Rooms. ALAMEDA, CarL., Nov. 30.—After par- ticipating in and enjoying a family musicale last evening at her home, 1540 Ninth street, Mrs., Meta Hashagen died this morning before 4 o’clock. She had beenin the best of health for some time. Last evening the children, Herman and Carl Bolte and Miss May Hashagen, gave a musicale, and all seemed to enjoy the entertainment. After retiring Mrs. Hashagen was heard to spring from her bed with a cry of pain. She complainea | of her back while the boys hastened to summon Dr. Wilhelm, who resides near. She comtinued m the most excruciating pain. all night, and passed away about 4 A. M., death being caused by paralysis of the heart. | The deceased had lived -here for eight years and was 49 years of age. She had been a sufferer from paralysis, but was thought to have recovered. Interment | will 1ake place in the Masonic Cemetery, | San Francisco, Thursday. | Caring for iheir Men. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 30.—The man- | agement of the Alameda Electric Street | Railway has built a neat and warm con- ductors’ room at the power-house, on Webster street, for the men. It is fitted | with incandescent electric lights, a good | stove, seats and tables. | Now the men want zood literature to | read in tneir spare-momen:s and when off duty. BSome xindly inclined persons wiil earn the gratitude of the best-hearted | set of men in tuis city if they will sub- | scribe for copies of the daily papers for | the room, and others may do their share toward making their life happier by send- ing books and magazines to their room. Anything alongz the latter line may be handed to the men on the cars, who will turn it in. The First Congregational Christian Endeavor Society was the first to offer papers for the men’s use. School Children Contest. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 30.—The City Librarian, J. W. Harbourne, will recom- mend to the Dibrary trustees at their regular meeting to-morrow evening that they offer medals as prizes upon the best essays upon the “Free Public Library —Its use and connection with the public schools.” His idea is to get more of the scholars into the habit of using the refer- ence library, and believes aiter such a con- test the pupils would understand the library and how to use it intelligently.

OAKLAND, CiL, Nov. 30.—The Ala- meda Assemblymen held a caucus last night at the residence of Judge Waymire, in Alameda. It is solidiv Republi¢an and thege do not appear to be any personal disitkes among the members, so the pros- pect is that the Alameda delegation will prove very influential at Sacramento. A permanent organization was effected, as follows: Chairman, Hart H. North; secretary, H. E. Wright; executivé com- mittee—F. W. TLeavitt (cbairman), J. A, Waymire and H.H.North. JudgeWaymire was unanimously indorsed for chairman of the Judiciary Committer of the coming Assembly. Theother members were in- dorsed for good committees, Mr. Clark’s choice being that of chairman of the Com- mittee on Roads and Highways. The del- gation is a unit in favoring legislation for the university, the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institute, a new primary law, good roads and an economical organization of the Legislature. REFUSED A DRESS FOR AN ESTATE Now a San Pablo Rancher Must Yield Every Cent to His Niece. A Brother’s Generosity Over a Tombstone Must Not Come From the Estate, Ludger Pinsonneanlt Is Badly Put to Rout by a Plucky Little Ozkland Mother. OARLAND OFrIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALr, 908 Broadway, Nov. 30. } “Will you give me half of the estate?’ said Mrs. Kdward Rivest of this city to Ludger Pinsonneault of Contra Costa a few months ago: “I will do nothing of the kind,” said the old farmer. “Will you give me $1600?"* £No.” “Will you give me $500?" o “No,” was the reply. A\ “Will you give me $100 if I will with- draw my claim to the estate?’ said the little woman. “No,”” was the gruff answer. ““Well, make me some kind of a decent present and we will call it square—give me something.”” But the old farmer was obdurate and simoly replied: “Nota thing.” “Then I take the matter into court,” said Mrs. Rivest, “and fight the matter out there.” This made the old man laugh, and he replied sarcastically: “I do not consider you have any claim; you can do as you please.”” .She did as she pleased, took the case into court, fought theold man, who might have bought her off with a new dress, and a decree of distribution in her favor has just been.entered in the Superior Court of Contra Costa County. Old Ludger Pinsonneault is left with nothing but the memory of his bad bar- gain. Seven months ago, Proper Pinsonnezult, a well-to-do farmer of Contra Costa, died in San Pablo. Many years ago he took iato his family a little girl named Marie, now Mrs. Rivest. After the death of Pinsonneault his brother Ludger appointed administrator of his estate. It was to him that Mrs, Rivest, adopted daughter of the dead farmer, plied for what she was_informed was her rightful inheritance. Ludger denied that she had ever been legally adoptea, and consequently that she had any right to her foster father's estate. For several months Mrs. Rivest could nét produce the legal proof of her adoption, but re- cently, with the aid of Attorney Darwin de Golia, she was able to make her proof ofadoption absolute and comnplete, and on this evidence she was legally awarded old Prosper’s estate. ; The administrator not only lost the estate through his penuriousness, but he is also out $100, which he spent on his dead brother’s tombstone in opposition to the advice of bis attorney, who told him that $100 would be a sufficient sum, whereas the ad ministrator magnanimously paid $200. 5 The sight of the costly tombstone which bears a tribute of affection from the living brother to the dead one caused much com- meut among friends who well knew both Prosper and Lud er. For twenty years prior to Prosper’s death the two brothers had not spoken, and Ludger's generosity was only explained when it becamo known that the tombstune was bought with the departed brother’s money. These facts were shown to the court, and also the information given that the ad- ministrator’s lawyer had advised Ludger not to be so lavish in regard to bis broth- er's grave, aud on this showing the court allowed $100 only and directed that the excess should be turned over to Mrs. Riv- est. As it has been spent Administrator Pinsonneault not oaly lost the eState but must dig up $100. * > And all this because he would not make a simple gift to Mrs. Rivest out of what was really ber own.

OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 30.—The iegal fight over the gas company stock, valued at $45,000, owned by the estate of the late James P. Rynders, came up before Judge Greene this morning. The stock was not mentioned in the inventory of the estate, because it was ciaimed by the execuior that it was given as a Christmas present | to Mrs. John Scott, wife of the executor and niece of the deceased, After hearing much evidence Judge Greene invited all parties concerned into his chambers, where the matter was further discussed. Mrs. Scott stated that on several occasions Rynders told her be would give her the stock, and when it was handed to her the tender was witnessed by .er husband and Emil Frick, but she counld not state defi- nitely at what hour of the day it was given her. An Economical Electien. ; OAKLAND, Cir, Nov. 30.—The Ala- meda County election has cost about $22,- 000, and this sorning the Supervisors ap- proved the bills.

Official Lunch for Pupils, OAKLAND, Car, Nov. 30.—The High School lunch counter was opened in the basement this morning, and many of the pupils availed themselves of the” oppor- tunity to eat in the building. “The lunch is a success,” said Principal McChesney, ‘and we ought to have opeged this room a long while azo.

C.used by the Re:fusal of the Towa Trustees to Honor a Bi'l for Supplies. BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 30.—There is serious trouble in the Beacon Hose Com- pany No. 1 of West Berkeley. 8. H, Bork- heim, business manager of the West Berkeley Gazette, who has been the fore- man ever since its organization, has re- signed and affairs in the company are in a most unsettled condition. It all came about because the Town Board at its meeting last Monday evening refused to honor a bill of between $3 and $4, whieh was presented by Borkheim for supplies. Not baving the support of the Town Board the foreman decided that the best place for him was outside the company, and so the next morning he offered his resignation. Since that time the com- pany has been without a leader, and though they responded to the fire which destroyed Danny Landregan's two-story saloon building last Saturday morning they refused to haul the hosecart back to its building, and so left it and all its fire- extinguishing appurtenances just where thev got through with them. This exluominw proceeding aroused the inquiry of all West Berkeley. Every one knew that the members of the com- pany turned out'in a body and that they worked vigorously, but were at a loss to know why they l#it the hose lying in the street.

INDIANA AUCTION COMPANY, 1057 Market St., opposize Jon s. — Tuesday.. 1898, aisapproval on the Town Trustees, who had apparently caused the resignation of their foreman by not honoring a bill for needed supplies. A mass-meeting of the company has been cailed for next Wednesday evening, when resolutions condemning the action of tha Town Board wiil be brought up for passage. All. West Berkeley is concerned in” the affair because of the places of prominence in that community which the revolting members of the company occupy and because of the former difficulties of a similar nature which have arisen between the various hose companies and the Trus- tees. The company will make this a test case, and wiil endeavor to find out just what authority the foreman of a company has and has not with regard to the order- ing of suppl:es. The resu)t of the present difficulty will be far-reaching in its effect, since there are seven similar volunteer fire companies in Berkeley, all of which are goyerned by virtuaily the same laws and have the same relations with the Board of Trustees. It 13 thought that the long disputed quescion of electing a Fire Chief in Berke- ley. to have control over all the com- panies and to be under the direct super- vision of the Town Board, will be brought updagain before the present fight is atan end.
