The north side has always been in use, and it looks as though the city electrician was attempting to detract from the stores on that side. Only 1200 or 1300 lamps are now in u-e, while the dynamo is capable of carrying 5000.

A meeting fraught with the utmost im- portance to the agricuitural interests of California was held yesierday in the as- sembly-room of the Mills building. It was held for the purpose of requesting the University of California to appoint & farmers’ institute in this City. A few davs avo the following communi- cation signed by about fifty gentlemen prominently concerned or interested in the subject of agriculture was rent to Pro- fessor Adams of the State University, and it was to consider the proposition that the meeting was called: stitute Organtzer, Uni- versity of Culifornia: Keeognizing the 1act thay San Francisco has more wney invested in farming lands than any other county in the Stute, and a larger number of persons en- geged in actual farming than any other county, and also recognizing the great impor- tance of the movewent now being led by the University of Californir, which has for its ob- j:ct the organization of ‘the thinking men of ihe State, directly or indirectly interested in securing the most profiable use of the lands of the State, for the di-cussion and solution of the scientific and commercial problems con- nected with azriculture: We request that the University of California appoint a farmers’ institute, to be held in this City at an carly date, and we pledge our influence toward promoting atcendance and meking the meetings interesting and profit- able, At the meeting yesterday the following persons were present: Edward F. Adams, chairman; Professor Mar- tin Kellogg, Professor E. W. Hilgard, A. 8. Halliate, Colonel E. A. Denicke, J. B. Rein- stein, Jefferson G. James, P. Rossi, S, F. Thorn, Will 8. Green, H. H.

At the outset Professor Adams spoke of the manifold interests which would be ai- fected by the movement and the advisa- bility of taking immediate action. Sueeches were also made by E. F. Adams, Professor Hilgard, A. 8. Hallidie, Colonel Denicke, J. B. Reinstein, 1. V. O'Brien, Will 8. Green, Alfred Holman and J. G. James. In zeneral they were to the effect that the institute was necessary, that those not educated in agricultural prob- Iems could not hope to compete with t ose who were, and that an agricultural course even in the grammar schools would not be wasted time. It was decided that the university be re- quested to appuint an institute to be held in San Francisco in the near future. P-rmanent organization of those present was effected in the name of the San Fran- cisco Farmers’ Club. An_ executive committee of three was appointea by the chairin the persons of H. H. Taylor, S. F. Thorn and V. L. O’ Brien. Taylor offered §25 to defray the ex- penses of holding the institute, and said 1f it were necessary he would contribute $25 more. Colonel Denicke pledged the support of the Mechanics’ Library Association to ths undertaking. The meeting adjourned till the call of the chair. Itis probable that the insti- tute will be called for the 25th inst. QUESTON OF DBV The Widow's Attorneys Reply to the Stat -ment of Dr. Pardee. If Living, the Lately Deceased Child Would Support Her Mother’s Contest. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,; 908 Broadway, Jan. 5. The contest over the Pardee will has developed into a test of the devotion of George C. Pardee and the widow of the decea<ed. George Reed, wno is the attorney for the widow, read Dr. Pardee’s statement in this morning’s paper and at once made reply. Attorney Reed said to-day: Every one who reads the opposition filed to the probate of the will will readily see that the doctor’s statement to the press is a pal- pable attempt to divert public attention from the conduct of the Hyving 1o the dead and_ex- cite prejudice acainst the widow by making it appear thatshe in some way attempted to blacken the character of the father. 1t he can point out a single word in the opposition which reflects on the integrity of the dead doctor we shall be obiiged to him, and will have it stricken out, as_the insertion of any such matter will be a5 offensive to_our client as the imaginary matter seems to be to Dr. George C.

Because the widow has charged that her husband was weakened and his mind dis- ordered, or at least easily infiuenced by his son, owing to a complication of diseases and the' use of drugs which were taken (o relieve him from excruciating pan, Dr. George is try- ing to twiet the allegution i5to an attack upon the tntegrity of his father. When ihe trial occurs we shall see whose con- duct, that of the wile or son, proves the greut- est devotion to Dr. E, H. Pardee. The statement that a contract_was prepared, awaiting the signature of Nellle, which could not be obtained ouly becauss of her sickness and death, is not true. The child was to the Jast simply wild to contest what she believed to be so uniaira wiil and stated to the last thst if she dia sign a compromise agreement it would be only because she was s0 earnestly urged by her friends and counsel 10 do so, and that she knew she would never De satisfied with herself for not having proved to the world that her father had been imposed upon and never would have made such a will unless unduly influenced. ————— A ORIPPLE'S INGRATITUDE.

Detectives Silvey and Egan are camp- ing on the trail of certain physicians who were recently in attendance upon Mrs, Lizzie Grinter of 797 Mission street. The woman is very ill and there is every likeli- hood that she will die from the effects of a criminal operation. Yesterday the Detective Department was notified that a woman was dying at the address given, and, strange to say, the notification came from a Dr. Robbins, the very man whom the girl accuses of per- forming the operation. Lizzie Grinter is the wife of J. W. Grin- tef a coachman or employe about the stables of E. J. Baldwin in Los Angeles. The couple have been separated some | time, but in her illness the husband cama back. Recently the woman, who is only 19 years of age, worked as saleslady at tha Emporium. She first stated that in the rush and bustle of the holidays she was pushed downstairs by a feliow-employe and in- jured herself in the fall. When told that she was likely to die, she made the stuie- ment that she had submitted to illegal practice. e e S Filed a Contest Too Late. Mary A. Bond and Johu B. C. Alvarado have demurred to the contest filed by John R. Bol- ton, a minor, of the will of the late James A.
