Before the reading was concluded the Gavernor suggested that consideration of the document should be deferrea until this morning’s session.

A slight sensation was caused when a| statement of the bills audited by the finance committee was read. One item It was this: *“Louis Sloss, treasurer, to Julius Kahn, . H.

For tle Time Being No More Will Be Heard of Blanks and Print- shop Legends. The attorneys for the Fair estate moved around a new corner yesterday and, in consequence, there was a general awaken- ing in Judge Slack’s courtroom in antici- vation of the long-awaited disclosures. At last that bland discussion of blanks isat a temporary end. For a time, any- how, nothing more will be heard about the bumdrum of a vrintshop, of tue pranks of composing-room devils or of the eccentricities of a job-office press. Hand- writing is the theme now, and even that promises to be but the novelty of a day. Truly, there seems but little prospect of anything really stirring until the defense D \z“-;—\—- \= — piar ~, S Yy e LR \ I, 3 () There was a clinch the moment the first question, after that regarding the witness’ name and occupation, was asked. T is was, “Did you know the signature of the late James G. Fair in his lifetime?"” Mr. Mitchelt had in his hand a check drawn by Fair on the Bank of British Co- lumbia and in favor of Dr. Marc Leving- ingston for $50, and intended to show it to the witnes: Mr. Delmas wanted to know something about the knowledge of the witness in reif- erence to the deceased millionaire’s hand- writing, and also inquired as to the pur- pose of this evidence. r. Mitchell replied that Davidson could esblain regarding his familiarity with Fair's handwriting. As to the purpose of the evidence, coursel szid it would, as the genuine signature of James G. Fair, be compared with thedisputed signatures ap- pearing upon certain exhibits aiready in- treauced in evidence—including presama- bly the Craven aeed, the pencil will and Fair's letter to Mrs. Craven, in which he said it was his desire to bs revenged upon the men who had *‘dogged him into sign- ing those other papers.” Mr. Delmas contended that the plain- tiffs, unde: the law, had no right to at- tack a duly acknowledgec deed until they had first overthrown the acknowledgment. The latter, he said, had not been achieved in this case, despile the promise that it would be, and he was confident the attor- neys on the other side were a thousand miles from doing it. Mr. Mitchell insisted that he only de- sired to introduce the check as a basis for future general comparison, and the court JUST A GLIMPSE AT THE SLOWLY PROGRESSING FAIR CASE legal services administration department, 1 bhn E.

Sveaker Coombs, and perhaps others, understood that the vote was on John E. Budd's motion to ameud. The bills allowed aggrezated $5165 25. The Kahn item of $1250 may be taken up at the session this morning. It was acknowledged at Sacramento that the main work of securing the increa-ed ap- prepriation was prepared by Senator Stratton, Assemblyman Wright aud Re- cents Rodgers and Siack. If it should turn out that the regents had under any guise whatever allowed money for lobby- ing at Sacramento, & storm of public in- dignation would surely be aroused. The contractors for the work of building the Affiliated Colleges submitted a com- | munication to the board setting ferth that they had been impedea 1n the work and put to much additional expense by reason of the board’s dilatory tactics in consider- ing progress estimaies. They presented estimate No. 3 for $3780, No. 2 for $7680 and No. 3 for $5670. The contractors claim that they have expended $36.140 to date and have only received $9002. The contracting firm is the Ray Construction Company. Governor Budd promised to approve the bills at Sacramento to-morrow and present them at once to the Board of Examiners. Henry Lund, Swedish Consul, and Dr. Thomas Boysen presented a petition bearing 5000 signatures requesting that a chair be established at the university for the teaching of the lost language of the Norseland.

BARROWS’' RECEPTION. Ladies of the Occidental Board and the Presbyterian Union Do Their Great Lecturer Honor. A reception was given to Dr. Barrows yesterday at the Presbyterian Mission Home by the ladies of the Occidental Board and the Presbyterian Ministerial Union. The rooms were well filled with people who were eager to hear what Dr. Barrows had to say zbout the far East. He was in- the Rev. Dr. McKenzie. In speuking of the women of tne Eastern countries, he said: “If any one says that women are honorea outside of Chris- tian countries, they do not speak the truth. The work of Curistian lectureship which I had the bonor of founding in India, is doing good work. On every hand the name American is loved. I have seen the work of Christians evervwhere, from India {o Hawaii, and my estimate of the work has not been at all diminished. On the whole, the missionary outlook in India is encouraging.”’ e —— Barbers’ Assoclation, At a special meeting of the Barbers’ Associa. tion, Charles Pfeffer presiding, it was decided that hereafter members will be furnished em- ployment free of charge.

The change of base took place during the afternoon session, and it was indeed a | relief, for the morning had crept away, like many another session that had pre- ceaed it, in adull and listless inquiry as Men who are wise leged to be wise, in the lore of u dotting of “I’s,” crossing of “t's’ peculiarities in general of millionaires’ chirography, come uOW to the front and with them their magnifying glasses, blackboards and sticks of chalk. Those who appear first are the hired experts of those who seek to prove the signatures of Fair to Mrs. Craven’s deeds and to the notary’s acknowledgments to bé forgeries. And then there will be others. They will demonstrate by equally scientific niethods that Fair signed those documents, each und every one of them. So there it is. Foreman Keefe of the Crocker compa- ny’s printing-room was once more found on the witness-stand when the trial was resumed yesterday morning. Keefe took occasion 1o explain to the court and jury why it was that his office accounts had the appearance of having been kept ina haphazard manner. As a mater of fact these records, accord- ing to Keefe, were not considered im- portant enough to require any great de- gree of exactitude. All they were kept for was to serve as ‘‘tracers” in case of dis- pute between the printing department and any other branch of the Urocker establish- ment. No one in particular was required to keep these accounts. They constituted a sort of family affair among the printers, and were intended more as a record of protection than for any other purpose. Tuen, 8s to the erasures appearing in the records, he exvplained that it fre- quently happened that the presses would be stopped on “home’ work in order to accommodate some *outside” job, and the change would always necessitate a correctibn of the records. Dan Murphy, the bov who “for want of something else to do,”” as Keefe said at Monday’s session, mutilated the priuting- room records, was now recalled to the witness-stand to be questioned regarding his knowledge of tnat troublesome copy of a proof of a notarial biank, which the attorneys for the estate have been trying to get into the evidence for a fortnight. Of course there was the usual objection, then an argument, and finally the ruling out again of the copy as being inadmis- sible. Mr. McEnerney for the plaintiffs then re- sorted 10 a new trick. Abundoning his effort to have Murphy divulge the con- tents ot the copy to ihe jury, he asked the witness to describe the ‘‘appearance’ of the copy. Objection and argument—that was natural, for this was only an attempt to beat the devil around the stump. is ti court ruled that the gi could be answered, provided the witness did not attempt in describing the appear- ance of the document to give its contents. Triumphant smiles wreathed the coun- tenances o counsel for t.e plaintiff, for they conside ed that they had won a grest point, but this immediately gave way to an expression of chagrin when Murphy answered the question over which there had been so much debat>. Murphy sald he couldn’t to <ave his life describe the copy—in lact, he was not <ure that he had ever seen 11—and a roar «f laugnter went up at the expense of Mr. McEnerney and is asgociates. Even Judge Slack's placid countenaace relaxed. Forman Gilmartin of Crocker’s press- room succeeded Murphy and briefly told what heand his department had to do with printing legal b'anks. Then the lunch hour recess was taken. H. R. Davidson, assistant accountant of the Bank of British Columbia, was called at the afternoon session, and there was a moving about in the line of plaint:ff's at- torneys.Mr. McEnerney forsook the lead- ing counsel’s chair, surrendering to Robert finally ruled that it would be temporarily admitted, but subject to rejection Iater on in the trial. The check was then handed to David- son, and that gentleman readily recog- nized the signature thereon as being that | of Fair. Then & dozen more checks were submitted to him and he pronounced them all genuine. James Moore, assistant accountant of the Nevuda Bank, was next called and tdentitied a number of checks drawn by ihe dead millionaire on that bank. Charles 8. Neal, who was Fair's sccre- tarv in his lifetime, tostified that he rec- ognized the handwriting of the Senator in a number of letters shown him, most of which were addressed to Angus & Bresse. The ex-secretary was still identifying letters when an adjournment was taken until this mornin, MONEY FOR INFLUZNCE Mre. Mary W. Healey Parts With All Her Hard- Earned Savings. «Scmuel J. de Graaf Promised to G.t Her Sick Husband Made a Policeman. The preliminary examination of Samuel J. de Graaf on the charge of grand larceny was commenced before Judge' Campbell vesterday afternoon. The complaining witness is Mrs. Mary W. Healey, 47 Stanley piace, and she al- leges that De Graaf got $448 from her in November last on his promise to get her husband a position on the police force, which he had failed to fulfill. In giving her evidence Mrs. Healey told a story that aroused the liveliest interest in the Judge and spectators. She said her husband had been sick for the past four years and she had to work to support the family. + While working in the King-Morse can- ning factory on Broadway and Sansome last October sne made the acquaintance of De Graaf, who was also working there and was known as “Loney.”” De Graaf told her that his father was a millionaire in Europe and had several shares in the factory. He was working there simply as 2 8Dy, a8 a lot of articles had been stolen from the factory. De Graaf used to cal her house, and finally he suggested that as he knew sev- eral officials in the City Hall and had con- siderable influence he might get her hus- band on the police force. De Gfaaf told her afier several talks on the suvject that it would require money 1o give to people who could influence the Police Commissioners, and she went with him to the Hibernia Bank and drew out the money, which was all she possessed in the world, and gave it to De Graaf. Then they went to_the office of Astorney J. J. Coffey, and De Graaf gave her a note for the amount. De Graaf afterward went with her hus- band and got an application for a posi- tion on the force, which was filled up, and she got twelve property-owners to sign it. Since then neitber she nor her husband had heard anything more of the appoint- ment. Mrs. Healey was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Attorney Dare, who appeared for the defendant. Sheadmitted band could hough he was a sick man, and alsothat it was in the belief that De Graaf was a millionaire’s son and bad influence in the City Hall that she gave him the money. Har cross-examination was not con- cluded when the court adjourned, and it will be continued to-morrow afiernoon. ————— In Germany 11 and 12 0'clock are usually B.

Belles and Beaux Spiel for the Big Show With Splendid Results. To the merry clink of gold society at- tuned its voice last evening aud all was gayety and jollity serene at the old- Clark-Crocker house, at the corner of Sut- ter and Octavia streets. Stately matrons, handsome belles and demure and dainty buds were playing at keeping store, and what made the game so exceedingly in- teresting was that it was played in the cause of charity. under the most alluring of names, “‘A gingerbread fete.” The ladies wbo organized this festival for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital claim that they followed as models simi- lar fetes held yearly in Paris. Visitors at the fete last evening affirm, however, that this fete can give those of the gay and giady capital many valuable pointers. At 7:30 P. M., when the doors were thrown open for the waiting throng, the neighborhood looked like the viliage green at the annual visit of a great three- Ting circus. Small boys, big boys and boys with gray beard or bristling mus- taches hung round the long low fence thet surrounds the lawn and searched in vain for a tiny peephole in the glistening white canvas, electric-topped tent. Within all was life and bustle. Visitors came early with the modest intention of remaining late, or at all events until their well-lined pockets heid only a lonely nickel—car fare. Never before haseven the sacred cause of charity been able to congregate such an aruy of preity girls— all with a business instinct. Mijss Julia Crocker, Miss Jennie Blair and Miss Margareute Sinclair, one of Oak- land’s fairest_belies, achievea distinction asspielers. No one escaped their wiles, no one wanted to. Miss Crocker, with her cheeks as rosy as the American Beauty that adorned the shoulder of her pale green bodice, won more shekels than all the other girls put together. Miss Blair worked under the skillful supervision of Louis Sloss, and made everybodv. pur- chase enough fancy work to supply their respective friends with Christmas pres- ents for the next dozen years to come. The tableaux proved such a success that & continuous performauce was found necessary to satisfy the immense throng of pleasure-seekers. Out on the lawns the tattooed man, the Circassian lady, the snake-charmer, the bearded lady, the giantess and a wiole army of freaks amused the multitude. Unforiunately there was no music. For some unaccountable reason the ladies were disappointed at the last moment, but the ladies promise that the band will play both this afternoon and evening. The programme for to-day is especially rich in noveities. This afternoon Ferris Hartman aua little Arthur Snyder, the singer, will do_their best to amuse the visitors, end this evening Henry Payot will aeliver his lecture, “Glimpses of the Mediterranean.” On Friday afternoon Edana Wallace Hooper will be the cuief afternoon attraction. RETURNED THE RING. Rufus Vassar Presents Maude Duggan With a Diamond and Saves Himself. Miss Maude Duggan held quite a levee in Police Judge Low’s court yesterday morning. She is the pretty and young woman who claims to be the daughter of a grain king 1n Chicago, but who has been away from home a year or more taking in the sights of San Francisco, contrary to repeated telegraphic messages to ‘‘come home.” Last Tuesday she caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of Rufus Vassar, a boy in his teens, whoclaims to be reiated to the Vassars of the college of that name. Sne swore that the young man, who re- sides at the Baldwin otel, within a stone’s throw of the Ramona, where she lodges, took her to church on one occa- sion, during which visit her pocket wa picked of §112. He took her to the races after that, und, for fear her pockets might azain be entered by thieves, she listenea to his seductive voice and aliowed him to be the custodian of her wealth. He wa- gered for her, and presumably lost, as she declares he made no returns. The final straw was when he took a diamond ring of bers, valuea at $200, to have it reset. When he failed to produce the jewel after a month’s time, she caused his arrest for embezzlement. The case was to have been heard yester- day morning, when the young lady and her court of pretty young boys were ushered into the presence of judge Low, Vassar, the defendant, was there also, and so was the rin, The prosecution showed no desire to push the case and it was allowed to go over for two weeks, the dlamond being returned to Miss Duggan in the meantime. It is understood that the two weeks’ continuance is granted to give young Vas- sar ample time to procure $112 from_his people in the East to reimburse Miss Duggan for the loss of her money in the church. WANT TNION MEN. Metal-Eoofers Complain of the Con- tractor for the City Hall Roof. At the meeting of the City Hall Com- missioners vesterday the metal-workers who were discharged by Contractor O’Brien, who is building the new root of the hall, were heard. They stated that their places had been filled bv non-union men, who were not really metal-workers. They asked that the contractor be compelled to put on union men. An investigation of the contract showed thai there was no reference in it to unions or union men, but the Commissioners stated that the superintendent had power to discharge all men who were not compe- tent, and that if any of the men com- plained of showed that they were not effi- cient they would be dismissed. —————————— ZOOLOGIOAL ADVOOCATES, Mission Park Association Adhears to Its Original Project. The weekly meeting of the Mission Park Association was held yesterday after- noon. The question of turning the City and County Hospitallots and the grounds of the ladustrial School into public was disputed by T. V. O’Brien and others. The matter was permitted to drop after the exchange of ideas. Charirman Shadbourne suggested the advisability of as many as possible being present at the meeting of the Mission Im- rovement Union next Saturday evening for the purpose of presenting their side of the question. This was agreed to and almost all present promised to be there. | | Cnristian principle many warm and long- | KOO0V} Ho % %% THE MAZE T0 GIVE UP BUSINESS! § FIXTURES FOR SALE, STORE T0 LET % SO If not sold in or yard. liberation.

MARKET §1., COR. TAYLOR AXD GOLDEN GATE AVE. ! DR, FRENCH TELLS WHY, His Reasons for Leaving the Congregational Ministers’ Cluh. ) A Feeble Protest Agiinst the Tacit In:orsement of the Rev. W:llicm Rader. The resignation of Dr. H. C. French from the Congregational Club as a pro- test sgainst its action in electing Rev. Mr. Rader president has caused a pro- found stir in denominational circies. The doctor emphatically declares that he has no personal feeling against the clergyman. “My resignation,” said Dr. French yes- terday, “was a painful and humiliating duty in which conscience and loyalty to God’s word compelled me to sacrifice (o treasured personal relations. I tendered it as a feeble protest against the club’s action in tacitly indorsing, by exalting to | the highest office in its gift, one who has recently obtained notoriety by holding | the Bible up to public contempt and ridi- | cule, both from the pulpit and through the columns of the secular press, using against the canons of sacred Scripture the hoary arguments if not the identical phraseology of notorious infidels. *‘A nineteenth century rationalistic. priest of Baal has openly challenged the credibility of God’s word, and his denom- inational brethren have repliied by pub- licly crowning the skeptic king. “I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but dare to predict that this ac- tion on the part of representat ve Congre- gational clergymen will be infinitely more | injurious to the spiritual interests of their church than were the recent abominations of the Brown trial.
