In & communication to the. board City and County Attorney Creswell suggested that the City and County begin a new | action against the Shiels Estate Company | to recover possession of certain provperty in the Mission Creek and Channel streot | district. The City began suit in 1836 against 208 occupants of lands in that v and recovered possession. Shiels , by some oversight, left out of the liti- | gation, and the property has since, through the death of Shiels. passed into the pos- | session of the company that Mr. Creswell desires to sue. Mrs. K. Howard, past president of James A. Garfieid Woman’s Reltef Corps | No. 21, addressed the board on the subject of removing Mrs. Ellen Morton’s house from its present location at Fremont and | Bryant streets. She stated that the only | petitioner for her removal was the firm of Hobbs, Wall & Co., and that it would | work a great hardship on a soldier’s | widow, 70 years old, if she were compelled to move her home now. Mrs. Howard asked that the board postpoue the matter until September, when Mrs. Mortor will be able to move her house. The Grand Jury sentin a communica- tion recommending the adoption of xhe‘ plans which have been appointed by the | City Engineer for a sewer system in J | street and Eignth avenue, along J street, | Tenth avenue and I street to Twentieth | avenue; the sewer to be constructed as | eoon as possible. The matter was referred 10 the Street Committee. The Democratic General Committee of | he Thirty-eighth Assembly District sent | a protest against the removal of Charles | sassa, bridee tender, and Martin | Brien, janitor. Like action was taken the General Committee of the Thirty- | xth Assembly District in the matter of Jobn Kelly, janitor, and James McCor- ariver of a patrol-wagon. The Supervisor from tne Eleventh gave | notice that at the next meeting of the | board to consider the water question he | would mtrodace a resolution to have the waterof ail new hydrants erected between | June 30, 1897, and” July 1, 1898, delivered free by the Spring Vulley pany Supervisor Smith stated that et the same | time Le would offer soma amendments to | the water rate ~che: man of the Wa Rottanzi's 1ally passed. | A resolution was introduced by Super- | visor Rottanzi calling attention to the In- | ternational Postal Congress now in prog gress m Washington, D.

Attorney Foote Objects to Side Remarks Being Made to the Jury. He Accuses Lawyer Mitchell of Unfair- ness and the Court Threatens to Be S vere in Future. Excitable Max Gumpel, the handwrit- ing exvert, had the boards sgain yester- day throughout the session of the Fair- Craven trial. It was diract examination all day, too, but W. W. Foote will prob- ably cross-examine the expert some time during to-aay’s proceedings. The morning wore away tediously with Gumpel and his microscove. He was picking out letters and words here and there in the disputed will and deeds, and at the request of Attorney R. B. Mitchell for the plaintiffs, analyzing them and en- deavoring to convince the court and jury that they were possessed of defects indi- cating forgery. For instance, he called attention to the capital letter F in Senator Fair's signa- ture and testified that the millionaire in- variably executea the cross on this ietter with a quick stroke of the pen. He said that the same cross in the signatures to the deeds and will have evidence of hav- ing been drawn slowly and of having been subsequently retouched 8o as to bring out the shaded lines. Mr. Foote took occasion to remark dur- ing the examination of Gumpel that the expert must be in possession of a wonder- fu! magnifying glass in order to see all the defects he was testifying to, and asged Gumpel to get him a duplicate of it. The expert promised to do the best he could to accommodate counsel. ‘When the afternoon session opened Mr. Foote was granted permission to ask Gumpel a few questions. He took the witness to task for having testified that one of his reasous for declaring Senator Fair's signature to the disputed deed to be simulated was the existence therein of a Roman ‘s instead of an English ‘'r,” sucu as he claimed was a characteristic of the millionaire’s handwriting. The attor- ney handed Gumpel a bunch of letters written at various times by Senator Fair in his lifetime and admitted in evidence as exemplars of his writing. The expert’s attention was called to a dozen or more Roman *r's’” in these letters and he was forced to admit that Senator Fair did not, after all, adhere rigidly to one particular method of forming the letters. While this examination was going on Mr. Mitchell precipitated something of a rumpus by mumbling a remark express- ive of ridicule concerning the importance of the confession wrung from Gumpel by Mr. Foote. It was loud enough for the jury to hear it and Mr. Foote was on his feet in a twinkling with a stout protest. “These people have been making com- plaints about me for making side remarks in court and have even gone to the court privately and spoken about it,’’ said Mr. Foote with warmth. “They have been in the habit of making side remarks them- selves right along. I made up my mind that the next time they did it I would call attention to it right out in open court and not in private.” Mr. Mitchell protested that his remark was harmless, He had only said to his associate, Mr. Wheeler, that he could knock out the apparent discrepancy in Gumpel’s evidence in two minutes. “There has been too much of this thing going on in court,” said Judge Slack sharply. “I will announce now that if I hear any more complaints I will take ac- tion that I think will stopit. I have the rower and I propose to exercise it.’’ Everybody promised to‘‘be good'’ in the future and the case proceeded. Gumpel was shown a lot of letters in which £enator Fair used the Roman '‘r,”’ but did not follow it with a comma as the expert had testified constituted another characterisiic, Gumpel said that the par- ticular omissions that Mr. Foote called attention to were exceptions to the rule. He thought, however, that in nine cases out of ten Senator Fair followed his *r’g’ with a comma. It was a habit, he thought. The direct examination was now re- sumed and Mr. Mitchell called for Gum- pel’s opinion of the pencil wiil. The ex- pert said that in his opinion the will was not a writing at all, but a ““drawing.”” He claimed to be able to detect evidences that the words had been pieced and patched together. The document he thought, had been ‘“drawn” with a soit pencil. Besides, in his opinion, there was no uniformity in the general appear- ance of the handwriting in the will. He said the strokes of the letters leaned toward the left in some places and to the right in others. (Gumpel produced 8 memorandum from is inside pocket and was going to testily with the aid of 1t regarding the number of alieged retouching and rhcin: he said he had discovered in the will when he exam- ined it last year. This was objected to by the defense on the ground that if he were the expert he posed as being he had no right to give evidence from data. An ar- gument ensued in which counsel on both sides quoted liberally from lawbooks, The court finally ruled that Gumpel must exclusivel The expert then had to put his magni- fying glass into service and pick out the so-called flaws _one by one. Every time he did so Mr. Foote insisted that the jury be given an opportunity to examine the original document instead of photographs of it and see for themselves, with the aid of a powerful glass, whether or not what Gumpel said were true. The expert said he had made a particu- lar study of the word ‘‘bequeath’ in the will. It occurred about thirteen timesin the document, and each, he claimed, was a counterpart of the other. His diagnosis of this was that they had all been traced from an original copy. Gumpel was pre- paring to give some blackboard demon- strations in support of this statement when the trial was adjourned over until this morning. THEY WILL YIELD. Christian Endeavorers. Anxious to Obtige the Presbyterian Pastors and Give Up Sunday Rehearsals. In the name of the Christian Endeav- orers A. M. Benham, chairman of the music committee, promised the members of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday to refrain from BSunday re- hearsals of music. *“If the union is op- posed to praise services on Sunday the Endeavorers will abandon them,” said Mr. Benham. This olive branch was held out in re- depend n}mn his knowledge and memory y. Expert Gumpel Gives His Rea- sons for Thinking That the Craven Documents Are Fab- rications. sponse to the appeal of a committee ap- pointed last week by the union to inves- tigate the effects of music rehearsals on Sunday. Rev. C. E. Reynolds, chairman of the committee, reported vesterday that the music rehearsals, calling the young people from all_parts of the City, necessi- tated the use of cars on Sunday and had the effect of drawing the young people away from their own churches. . Mr. Benham, who had attended the meeting of the Presbyterian Ministerjal Union to speak to the subject, rephed that the Endeavorers had looked upon the rehearsals as praise services, but if they were displeasing to the union the young people would discontinue them. At the Congregational Ministers’ Club yesterday Rev.W. S. Ament, from Peking, China, read 8 very interesting paper on that country. Dr. Ament said he wanted to get together $10,000 to build a church in Peking. A lady, he said, had already given him §5000." He reported the Chris- tian Endeavorers to be in a flourishing condition. The Rev. A. S. Lawson of Amed mugger, India, gave a glowing account of the good following Dr. Barrows’ recent lecture in that country. The Bay Conference, which was to have been held shortly after the Christian En- deavor Convention, has been postponed until September. All the G. A. R. posts will attend Cen- tral M. E. Church Sunday evening. May 30. DROWNED IN A TRAP. Criminal Negligence Caused the Death of Little Alexander Lind- strom. Alexander Lindstrom, a blue-eyed baby 2 years old, lost his life yesterday fore- noon by falling into a deathtrap left un- covered by workmen in a lot on De Haro street, between Twenty- second and Twenty-third. Bome other little children saw the baby fall into the pool, but they were too young and too small to save little Alexander from drowning. They ran and told the child’s mother what had happened. When she arrived at the brink of the water hole she saw the body of her baby lying at the bottom. The hole was made by neighbors who have been working on Sundays building a house for one of their number. There was four feet of surface water in the well and 1t was used for mixing mortar. The child’s death is due to the careless- ness of the workmen in leaving the well uncovered and without any barrier to keep children of the neighbornood from falling into 1t. Coroner Hawkins has taken charge of the body and an inquest will be hela. ADULTERATED BRANDY. Inspector Dockery Will Now Prosecute the Manufacturers. The adulterated brandy which Chief Food Inspector Dockery quarantined last Saturday was shipped for New York that evening and is now speeding across the continent. Naval Officer Irish yesterday wired the full history of the case to the Secretary of the Treasury and explained the importance of stopping the exporting of the goodsso far as the wine and brandy makers of the State were concerned. Inspector Dockery called upon United States Attorney Foote yesterday and had a talk with him and United States Mar- shai Baldwin. They informed Mr. Dock- ery that he had no right to interfere with the *‘goods’ because they wero in posses- on of the United States, having been lhip;efl by the Collector of the Portof San Francisco to the Collector of the Port at New York. On arriving at New York they will be placed in a United States bonded warebouse until the consent of the Becretary of the Treasury is obtained for their exportation. If sold in this country the revenue tax would be $8000. r. Dockery contends that when he tapped the barrels there were no stamps, marks or sesls to show that they were in The fac-simile signature of bond or in charge of the Government in any way. He now propcses to prosecute the manufacturers for violating the pure food law. BIBLE IN A NEW LIGHT. Mrs. Mountford’s Living Oriental Pic- tures an Indispensable aid to Its Interpretation. Lydia von Finkelstein Mountford is not merely a Sunday-school speaker, nor are her living pictures and her explanations of them mere Sunday sermons. They are object lessons in history far more vivid than those painted by the glowing pen of Macaulay, and lessons which are enjoyed equally well by Jew, Mohammedan, Chris- tian and infidel. She is a pleasing speaker in the conversational vein, and the two and a half hours of entertainment are al- most too brief. They seemed so last night to the large audience which filled Golden Gate Hall. : With a company of twenty-five or thirty men, women, boys and girls costumed in the flowing robes of the Oriental people Mrs. Mountford illustrated city life in Jerusalem among the well-to-do classes. ‘An interesting revelation was that to the effect that Leonardo da Vinci’s famous panting, “The Last Supper,” is incorrect, because the Savior and the Apostles are represented as seated at an oblong table, whereas at the present day and from time immemorial the people of Jerusalem eat and did eat “in the upper chamber,” - A'U/:' Latns AD e P2 g seated cross-legged at & round table—a disk of metal supported on a trestle in the center. “The eye of the needle,” which has been 80 oiten quoted to the disparagement and spiritual discomfort of the wealthy, was shown to be a small gate through which camels were pushed and squeezed after havine been divested of their saadles and trappings. “The wilderness'’ of St. John was ex- plained to be outside the gate of Jerusa- fem. He preached in the little towns and villages, for all outside the walls was called “‘the wilderness.” The lecture threw a flood of light upon the meaning of many of the most com- monly quoted sentences of the Bible. Mrs. Mountford will lecture to-night on “The Bedouins of the Desert.” FOOD COFFEE. ‘ TEN DAYS Without Coffee Makes Some Wonderful Changes. If the new X rays were used to photo- graph our own individual liver and stom- ach, we might be astonished and likely frightened, if we had been suffering from the use of coffee or tobacco. Coffee has the same poisonous alkaloids as strych- nine, morphine, tobacco and whisky, and its daily use, even in small quantities, is the direct cause of that weak, dragging feeling and the many troubles of stomach, heart, liver and bowels. Tonics may patch one up for a little time and make one feel a little better. But what man, with even a little plain common sense, but sees that the only way to keep well is to throw over the habit that causes the trouble. Ten days' freedom from coffee and ten days’ use of Postum Cereal coffee will produce so radicala change toward health and strength, that the facts become plain to any one. Don’t believe it, but try it and judge for yourself and then wonder why you would daily submit to the old physical discomforts week in and week out, leading a most unpieasant existence, when by a very littie attention to the breakfast beverage, one could be trans- ported back to the bounding health of boyhood. Postum grain caffes looks like old Mocha, but everyone, children and all, can drink ~Postum and digest it wichout trouble, JUST AT THIS SEASON. Spring the Most Dangerous of the Year. This is the most dangerous season of the year. It may be plessant, may often seem attractive, bat back of all the pleas- ant atmosphere there is danger! This danger comes in some form of sickness. Almost any sickness starts with a cold or a chill caused by the sluggish action of the system. That is why so many peo- ple just now complain of tired feelings, pains in the muscles and bones, loss of appstite, spring fever and similar troubles. The following is good advice from a prominent medical journal: ‘‘Pneumonia and other dangerous complaints, which result from a neglected cold, can always be avoided if a timely remedy is taken. When chilly sensations are felt they should be stopped immediately or serious consequences will follow. There is only one way known to the world of avoiding a cold or chills, and thatis the use of a good, pure, strong stimulani. Nothing ordinary will do. It must be sometbing sure in its action and scientifically pre- pared. For this reason nothing has ever equaled Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, which is acknowledged to-day by physi- cians and sclentific men to be the only pure medicinal whiskey on the market.” Duffy’s Pure Malt is always reliable and effective. ever, permit any dealer to good'” or “‘about the same thing.” TUESDAY, TUESDAY..
