THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1896. 21 JUSHUN HERDY'S HAR FOR PHONICS It Led Him to Make Some| 0dd Mistakes in Spelling. His “Fiiteth” Held to Mean Ten Instead of a Hundred Thousand. Judge Coffev Rendered a Decision in | the Famous Will Case Yesterday. | Judge Coffey yesterday decided that' when the iate Joshua Hendy wrote in his | will that Mrs. Rough and Charles Manner | " should each have ‘“‘one-fiftieth” of the | testator’s stock in the Hendy Machine | ‘Works, he meant that the devisees should | take one-fiftieth of that stock, so these heirs’ share of the estate will amount to | -$10,000, accoraance with the argument of Attorneys Hart and Young, and not to family would be disturbed and probably would cease, This decision by Judge Coffey means 2 great deal to the estate. If he had held that Mrs. Rough and Mr. Manner were entitled to one-fifth each they would have taken $100,000 each. Under the decision they will have only $10,000 each—a differ- ence of §$180,000 to the estate. = Mr. Baggett gave notice that he wouid appeal to the Supreme Court. MUSICALE. Mrs. E. B.

Emilie The Mushroom Cellar to To be fashionable nowadays raise mush- rooms in your cellar. This is the edict that has been promuigated by the mis- tress of all thingssocial. Fashion has de- cided to take lessons from nature and in- stead of botanizing throughout the rural districts in the most charming time of the year will turn her attention to the meth- ods of growing that most succulent of ad- ditions to the porterhouse steak during the winter season. It is a brand-new idea, so far as the mansions of wealth and culture are con- cerned. Heretofore the cellars have been supposed to be floored with cement and the temperature kept 2t a comfortable de- gree when the weather outside was of tnat nature which calls for heavy overcoats. Now, however, ai! this is changed. Mush- rooms must be grown in cold cellars, and hence all cellars must be cold. This new departure is not the result of mere theory or faddist notion of some one who seeks to be odd and thus conspicuous, butis fathered by no less a personage than David Fraser of Mahwah, N. J., anau- thority on gardening, whose word is not to be disputed. Mr. Fraser says there is absolutely noth- ing to hinder the growth of mushroomsin cellars, and that for his part be thinks it is a very excellent idea indeed. The air must be dry in the cellar, and the tem- perature on no account allowed to fall YOU $100,000 each, as was contended by Attor- mey Baggett, who represenied Mrs. Rough. Mr. Manner made no contest, as it was- apparently his opmion from the start that his friend and patron had not jntended to bestow on him a fifth of the entire estate. During the argument yesterday Mr. Young drew attention to the habit which Mr. Hendy had of omitting *‘i”” where it shonla take the place of *'y’’ in certain words, as, for instance, busy was always correctly spelled, but business was writ- ten ‘‘busness”; family was written “famly."” Other errors in orthograpby noted are as follows: Dead appears as ‘‘ded,” death 1s *'deth,” debt is ‘‘det,’’ share is “shair,”” there is “thair,” prepare is ‘'pre- pair,” were is “wair,”” ‘aware is_“awair,” freight is *4rait,”” meeting is ‘‘meatifig,’ soon is “sune,” scarce iy ‘‘scairse,” do is “due” and doing is ““dueing.” In many instances Mr. Hendy was found to have written numbers correctly. #s for example be was right in spelling five, fifty, twentyfive, eighty-eight, twen- ty-first, third, forty, seventy-five, three hundred, three thousand and the like. Anxious is often spelled ‘‘ankshus,” mention is *menshun,’”’ machine (which word one woutld expect Mr. Hendy to be acquainted_ with in its wriiten form) is “mashean’’ and salary 1s “‘sallery.” Mr. Baggett also submitted a list of words tha: had been incorrectly spelled by Mr. Hendy in his voluminous corre- spondence, and it was declared by the attorney that so grotesque were the tes- tator’s depariures from the rules of cr- thography that no argument could logic- ally be based on the fact that he some- times did spell some words correctly. Mr. Baggett insisted that Mr. Hendy intended 10 give one-fifth of the machine works to Mrs. Rough and one-fifth to Mr. Manner. In summing up the matter Judge Cof- fey sai My original impression was the #ame as Mr. Baggett’s, but subsequent exsmination and consideration of all the circumstances before the court, and [ pre- sume also a recolleciion of the testimony at the contest of the will, have induced me to depart from that superficial original impression. L ’m“r"l‘he conclusion I have come to is that the testator, Josbua Hendy, did not in- tend to give one-fifth of his stock in the Hendy Machine Works to this lady, Mrs. Rough, nor to Mr. Manner, and that this word spelled ‘one-fifteth’ 1n tne will is in- tended to be one-fiftieth, not one-fifth. The court further referred to the ad- mitted design of Joshua Hendy to perpet- uate his name in the Joshua Hendy Ma- chine Works, under the control of the pexsons of that name. 1f one-fifth should be given to Mrs. Rough and one-fifth to Mr. Manner, the possession and control new enjoyed by the members of the Hendy MUST RAISE MUSHROOMS Parent, Mrs. Susie Hert-Mark, Mrs. F.

St LEGISLATIVE QONTESTS. T Rt Chandler 4gainst Feeny and Lundquist Azainst Den:ery the Latest Cases. John J. Feeny’s seat in the State Senate for the Twenty-fifth Senatorial District is 10 be contested by Thomas W. Chandler Jr. on the ground that the election officers were guilty of frand and neglect, that Mr. Feeny had not resided in the district a year, and that he did not comply with the purity of elections law. The papers were filed ‘yesterday. Fred Lundquist has filed a contest against Leon Dennery, who has been de- clared elected Assemblyman from the Forty-third Assembly District. The com- plaint alleges acts of misconduct and neg- lect on the part of election officers through- out the district, but no specific charges of intentional fraud are made. One point on which the contestant relies is that Mr. Dennery has not resided in the district the length of time required by the code. —————— Army and Navy Ciub Whisky.

The bed was made up on the 27th of November. The house was kept very dry— that is o say no water wasallowed to spill on the floor while we were watering the bed. “Beds in the cellar do not need a great deal of water. Ionly watered mire after edch top dressing, but when I did water it I gave it a good doze, using a fine spray for the purpose. If the cellaris large a good way to do is to put a load of hot fer- tilizer on the floor, for this raises a nice moist heat. Next winter I mean to keep a load of it on the floor of my cellarall the time, renewing it as the heat declines. In cold cellars very little air is needed before the warm days of spring come. Then I give plenty of it. “If the fertilizer becomes too dry for meking the beds in the cellar don’t be afraid to put the hose on it, as fertilizer is not nearly as good dry as moist. Ialways give each barrelful of fertilizer a pail of water and this seems to make it right. Be sure when you pick a crop to pick it clean. If there are any dead mushrooms pick them out by the roots, then top dress the bed.” This is advice that the fashionable per- son with a cellar may take to heart and know that he or she hasthe knowledge necessary to become thoroughly in keep- ing with the latest style.. For the days when style was confined to garments and house furnishings are gone. There is style to everything, even to sidewalks. Style long ago penetrated the garret, but now it has reached the cellar, and the mushroom is its representative. From time immemorial it has been con- sidered very proper to derideanybody and everybody whom custom dubbed of the mushroom aristocracy. The new fad has put an end to all this. In the future to be a mushroom aristocrat will be considered as equivalent to a position on the crest of the wave of social fitness. Of course evervbody has had vegetables in their cellars these many years, but to grow them there is such an exceeding novelty that its popularity is insured. To be sure, the fertilizer was at first eonsid- ered a drawback, but as fashion exacts many sacrifices from her devotees this was a matter hardly worthy of considera- | tion. Becormne a Fa ‘While everybody who knows anything at all about eating is thoroughly familiar with the delicious addition to various things that the mushroom makes, com- paratively few of us realize what an art there is 1n growing mushrooms, in bring- ing them to the right condition and thor- oughly ready for the skilltul hands of the chef. 1n the first place, to raise mush- rooms it is necessary to secure whatis known as spawn. Mushrooms bear no re- lation whatever to fish, but in a virgin state they have the same name as the tiny fellows that fill the tanks at the fish hatch- eries. % A host of people over in England and France make their living by producing the mushroom spawn, and large qaantities are imported to the United States every year. It is just as necessary to procure good spawn, if it is intended to raise mushrooms, as it is to procure a pug dog puppy of good blood if it is desired that he present the best appearance when he arrives at the age of maturity. Think of the change this cellar plan makes for the mnushroom. The web- fringe variety is mostly found in the woods, where it grows from or about stumps or decaying roots in the ground. Frequently great clusters protrude from around the base of posts. There are sev- eral species of the web-fringe. Their cavs are from one to six inches across. They 5 SCNEEN NOWADAYS TO BE FASHIONABLE. are showy and easily recognized. In sub- stance they are solid and white or yellow- ish in color. People who do not know them do not like them, and that is a case where ignorance is not bliss. The wise man or woman will cut the caps to pieces after washing and stew or bake with bread crumbs for half an hour. ‘When this is done and the result thereof is seasoned and a little lemon juiceis added, or sherry or madeira, thereis a feast fit for the gods. This is one of the sort of mu hrooms that will flourish in the cold cellar of the follower of fashion. Then there is the variety with a long name, the Coprinarii. They are as tender and toothsome as a tenderloin steak. An- other variety Is the little brown-capped, slender-stem Coprinus Micaceus (that is all the name it has), whose tops frequently glisten as if sprinkled with fine mica. This is a gem, too. It makes a rich, black dish after ten minutes’ stewing. When once the person of fashion is inoculated with the virus of this sort of mushroom- eating all gratitude, friendship, even fam- ily ties, vanish, and he or she will race for an edible mushroom if but seen through a telescope. - The maned mushroom is ofien eaten under the name of truffle, and it, too, can be made a product of the cold ceilar, down in the depths of the society man- sion. Those who have eaten them most say that no cheaper or more effectual spree is by nature provided. Other'varie- ties that can be grown in the cellar are the mushrooms of the order of hydnei, as the producers call them. They have teeth-like protuberances upon which the mushroom caps are born. Then there ace the po- lyporie, those good old Greek fellows, that taste justas luscious as they did in those far-away days when Lucullus ate them in a savory stew under his own vine and fig tree. Speaking of stews, the man or woman whose mind is bent on a cellar bed of wmushrooms should never forget the clav- arerei. The name has something of a for- midable appearance, but, then, what's in a name anyway? Certainly it does not affect the taste. This is an odd variety of mushroom 1n appearance, for it branches out like deer horns. The individuality is very clear, for nothing else that grows could look like it. And as for stews, they have no superior. Thus it is, for once at least, to be in fashion means to possess one of the most pleasant adjuncts of a very inviting meal. shionable Fad No one has yet discovered whether the new fad is to be given the Vanderbiltian approval or the sanction of the Astors. In fact it is of so recent popularity in Eastern social circles that it is rather diffi- cult as yet to name the principals in the company of players on life's stage who will give it their unqualified indorsement. Chauncey M. Depew is notably in favor of it, and what Mr. Depew doesn’t know about good things to eat it is not worth any one’s while to consider. The mushroom fad will not down. It has come to stay. Dame Fashion says so, and inasmuch as the king can do no wrong, surely the queen 1s equally infal- lible. s ASTHMA cure guaranteed, Dr. Gordon’s Chocolate Emulsion. 221 Davis, S.F.Cal $1a bot. 6-85,sam 5¢ PERSONALS.
