COOPER'S ESTATE. The Administratrix Files a Report and Asks That It Be Dis- tributed. Harriet E. Skilton, administratrix of the will of the late Sarah B. Cooper, filed a report and petition for settlement of account and final distribution of the es- tate. In the report the administratrix says she sold the legacy of $5000 under the last will of Miranda W. Lux and applied the proceeds to the assets of the estate. Since the date of her ap- pointment the administratrix avers that $4536 24 in money has been received by her; she has paid all outstanding ac- counts and brought about a complete set- tlement. The administratrix then asks that the balance of the estate of Sarah B. Cooper be distributed to Irene W. Rawlings, ad- ministratrix of the estate of Harriet Cooper, that the provisions of her will, she being the sole devisee of her moth: er's estate, may be carried out. — e ROWING MEN ENTERTAIN. Ariel Club Reception and Dance at Union Square Hall Last Night. The stage and galleries of Union Square Hall were gracefully draped last night with festoons of blue and yellow cheese- cloth in honor of the Arfel Rowing Club's annual entertainment and dance. After a potpourri of popular ailrs had been ac- ceptably rendered by Temple's orchestra, J. R. Bockman made a few introductory remarks, which were received with a de- gree of appreciation that clearly proved his popularity. The well-knogn ama- teur singer, Ben Tarbox, sang ‘*“The Champion of the King,” and for an en- core gave an anvil song. Messrs. Morey and McGorey entertained the audience with selections on the banjo, and Miss ADVERTISEMENTS. SHEDSKIN 20 TIMES My little boy brokeout with an itching rash. 1 tried three doctors and medical college but he kept getting worse, There was not one squareinch of skinon kiswholebody unaffected. He was one mass of sores, and thestench was frightful. In removing the bandages they would take the skin with them, and the poor child’s screams were heart-breaking. After the second application of CUTICURA (oint- ment) I saw signs of improvement, and the sores to dryup. His skin peeled off twenty times, but now ke is entirely cured.

Clever Plan Which Succeeded in Ex- tracting a Confession From a Manufacturer of Spe- cious Butter. J. P. Dockery, food Inspector and nemesis of sly resterateurs, has added one more rung to his ladder of Pinker- tonian accomplishments.

As the time is nearing for the closing of Holy Cross bazaar at Native Sons’ Hall the ladies at the varlous booths are giv- ing attractive programmes of vocal and instrumental music each evening. Rev. J. F. McGinty allows no solicitations for money, which is a novel departure at a church falr. Each guest can listen to the music, see the artistic booths and the unique prizes without fear of being im- portuned for cash. Whatever is given must be voluntary. Last evening Mrs. John Spottiswooa of Holy Cross booth gave her evening at home, and the fair was largely attended by the parishioners, who enjoyed the classic programme that was rendered. To-night Pioneer booth, under the man- agement of Mrs. J. Regan, Mrs. O'Toole, Mrs. Buckley, Mrs. Hartrick, Mrs. Dough- erty, Mrs. J. W. McDonald, Mrs. Gal- lagher, Mrs. Connolly and Misses M. O'Toole, E. Hartrick, Agnes G. Regan, L. McDonald, E. O’'Brien, L. Buckley and E. Regan, will have an evening at home, and, in addition to the usual vocal and in- strumental _programme, the champion Irish jig and reel dancers, Messrs. O’'Con- nor and Kelleher, with their entire class of ladies, will give an exhibition of step- dancing. They will be accompanied by Professor McCarthy, the Irish piper, and McMahon, the fiddler. Mr. Patton, the Republican candidate for Mayor, has promised to attend again this evening, which will be his second visit to the fair. The lunch which Is being served each day from 11 to 2 p'clock at 25 cents, at- tracts a number of business men who are epicures, and the ladies in charge promise to give one on Saturday which will beat any restaurant. The admission to the fair each evening will be free. e Coroner’s Inquests. Curoner Hawkins held an inquest yes- terday morning into the cause of the death of Julia Keeley, the Baldwin Hotel servant who was shot and killed on Octo- ber 22 by Danifel J. O’Shea. The jury found that death resulted from wounds caused by a pistol in the hands of Daniel J. O’'Shea. In the case of Anna Keenan the jury re- turned a verdict of *cold-blooded mur. der” and charged Patyick Keenan with the same. /) | the | note (=) o) %oF o i o 4/.-. > da S,W' awtl e { Sl THE FAC-SIMILE OF REXINGER'S ATTEMPTED DECOY. [14(_,, exercise of his talent the food in- spector has corralled one of his most dangerous enemies, a manufacturer of specious butter, something worse than the | oleomargarine and a shade or two bet- ter than axle grease. The offender against the pure food laws s known by the name of Fred Rexinger, and plies his illicit trade at 2300 Mission street. YeSterday morning he was placed in the hands of the police, but he did not atay long in the City Prison, being released on $50 bail. On Wednesday Dockery received a visit from a stranger. The man introduced himself as John H. Treegoing, informing 'y that he possessed $300 which he hed to invest in a butter manufactory. Knowing that Dockery was versed in such matters he deemed it wise to secure latter’ vice before placing his y such business. Dockery sed ignorance of such matters, but offered a substitute, and expressed his willingness to escort the prospective in- vestor to him. The substitute was Frank T. Green, the chemist of the Board of Health. The visitor then became more confidential, and he showed Dockery a which he had recelived from the manufacturer, and which is shown in' fac simile elsewhere in these columns. The chemist, thinking Dockery's panion was in search of information in regard to butter manufacturing, delivered a lengthy lecture on the art and showed how perniclous a practice it_was. Dock- ery then played his game. With a pres- sure on one of Green's feet he apprised him that mmethlnr was wrong. Green took the hint and withdrew, leaving Dock- ery alone with the investor. Like a true knight of the road Dockery explained to Treegoing that he must hold up his hands and disclose the evil schemes of butter making in which he was involved. Tree- going attempted a bluff, but it was futile. Dockery, who is a magnanimous con- querer, said what he wanted was the true malefactor and Treegoing must take him to the place where he performed U8 work; and if he would graclously assent to this then he, Dockery, would exculpate Treegoing. Treegoing saw that there was no hope for himself, so he gave a reluctant con- sent. They jumped into a carriage and were driven out Mission street to the home of the man who makes a new com- pound composed of grease and butter, but which parades under the latter name. The two men, Dockery and Treegoing, got out of the carriage at 2300 Mission street, the home of Rexinger. They were shown into a room dimly lighted by a lamp reeking with the smell of oil. Dock- ery was introduced by Treegoing as a friend who wished to invest money in such a scheme as they were floating. Rexinger enlarged upon the beauties of his plan. He showed Dockery how he produced his composition out of one pound of butter which cost 25 cents, a pint of milk, 2% cents, and the mixture which he made by formula and the cost of which was half a cent, the product being two pounds of butter, selling for 50 cents, a clear gain of 22 cents. The three men had been sitting about a table, and Dockery arose. He pulled back his coat and confronted the mixer of feeds with a star glittering from his vest and a gun gleaming in his right hand. Placing Rexinger under arrest Dockery ordered him to leave the house and acompany him to the City Prison. No resistance was offered. As a decoy Rexinger has letter paper with a head which shows him to be a member of the Honolulu firm of Joseph H. Stein & Co. Dockery thinks this is simply a blind to gain patronage. WILLS FILED FOR PROBATE. Three Estates of Various Value Dis- posed Of by Testament. The will of Henrietta Roberts, also known as Dottie Roberts, Mrs. H. Rus- sell and Harriet Revis, who died in St. Luke's Hospital a few weeks ago, was filed for probate yesterday. The entire estate of the deceased, which is valued at $6600, is bequeathed Mrs. Hattie Cav- anaugh of Petaluma. The will of Hannah L. Barry bequeaths an estate consisting of real property on Oak street, valued at $10,000, and property of unknown value in Cork, ireland, to the sons and daughters of the deceased. Jane Maybell, in her will filed yester- day, bequeaths two-thirds of an estate, valued at $5000, to her son Claude ., and one-third to her son Mark Maybell.

PRICE OF CHAINLESS BICYCLES CUT IN TWO MAY CAUSE A SLUMP IN THE| WHEEL MARKET. The New Figures Indicate That the Day of High-Priced Bicycles Has Passed. The announcement was made yesterday by the local representatives of an Eastern bicycle manufacturer to the effect that thelr prices on next year’s wheels would be reduced nearly one-half. A chainless bicycle held this year at $125 will be listed at §75. To correspond with this cut on the chalnless wheel, one firm will list its best chain wheel at $50; another model at $40 and tandems at $75. Cheaper grades will be sold at $35, $26 and $25. The question will naturally arise whether this will not cause a cut in the prices of all makes of wheels. As no chain wheel could compete with the chainless at $125, so will they also be handicapped at the new price. As the best chain wheel has been marked down to $30, it is expected all the other makes will be obliged to meet this cut or lose their business. This is the biggest single cut ever made in the price of wheels, and brings them within reach of the workingman, who, now that Market street is being repaved, can soon ride home in comfort on a wheel of his own, and thus save 10 cents per day from the railroad com- pany. BURURRUURREIRIRANRNER MISS BENTLEY'S FAREWELL. Miss Marian Bentley, whose suc- cess in local musical circles was so marked, is to leave this coast, having been engaged by a leading manager in New York to 383 &% & RBBURNNN B give a series of plano recitals in the East. She is a native daugh- ter, although she obtained her musical education in European climes. She made her debut in 1896. The years of study left their effects and she was forced to return to California in the hope of regaining her health, which she has fortun- ately done. During her stay in this city she has devoted her attention to a large class of pupils, and many of them will join her in New York City that they may have the op- portunity of continuing their stud- ies when she completes her tour. She will give her farewell recital this evening at the Young Men's Christian Association auditorium, corner Mason and Eilis streets. She will be assisted by Rhys Thomas, tenor. nRLuLLRRLRNRNR ——————————— Pearl Ladd’s Recital.

THE RACING OUTLOOK BRIGHT LIST OF PROBABLE STARTERS IN THE OPENING HANDICAP. Bookmaker George Rose Will Be Here Next Week—Jockey Tom- my Rutter Gets In. Items of Interest. Joseph A. Murphy, who will fill the position of presiding judge at Oakland track during the coming season, arrived here from St. Louis Wednesday evening, accompanied by his family. Joe, as he is better known to turfites, presided in the stand during the long meeting at St. Louis, and says the Fair Grounds Asso- clation experienced a very profitable sea- son. He says many of the horsemen he met before leaving for California signi- fled their intention of coming this way, and he sees no reason why the meetings here this winter should not be as pros- perous as those in the past. Last sea- son Mr. Murphy occupied the stand as presiding judge at both Ingleside and Oakland, where his decisions met with general approval. This yvear he retires at Ingleside track in favor of Edwin F. Smith, the Sacramento racing official. George Rose, the “leviathan California bookmaker,” as he has been termed by enthusiastic Eastern writers, will return here the early part of the coming week. According to Sam Shaen, one of his block men, George found the Eastern game more advanced than ever. He started off $15,000 loser before one box of chalk had been used up, but managed to get out, and broke about even. Tommy Rutter, a light-weight rider who gained considerable renown on the Chi- cago tracks by reason of some shifty work in the saddle, was expected last (~\(n|ni He was here last winter with Louis Ezell, but got very little chance to show his worth. From present indications it looks as though a big field will line up in the Opening handicap to-morrow. 7The prob- able starters with the riders that are apt to be seen up Satsuma, 122, H. Shields; \Grady, 116, Hennes Rubicon, 115, Butler; Buckwa, 112, Piggott; More lito, 112, Wilson; Rosinante, 110, Gra; San Venado, 10§, Gouin; Moringa, 106, Devin; Wheel of Fortune, 105, Bozeman; Marplot, 103, Thorpe; Recreation, 98, ood; Highland Ball, %, Houck; Ranier, Dlinthus, 89, Rutter. San Venado and Napamax are doubtful starter: The track over the bay is gradually taking on a velvety surface, and now promises to be very fast. Not a few of the trainers had their charges out yes- terday morning, and several of the handi- cap candidates were moved at more than three-quarter speed. Marplot covered a mile in 1:4 ‘Wheel of Fortune in 1:44% and Buckw traveled around in 1:4 Grady went a nice mile, reeled off in 1:45. Satsuma worked three seconds slower. Billy Beverly, who svill be out this way as the meeting progresses, Is reported to be a heavy winner booking on the far Eastern_tracks. Beverly has a very keen eye, and while booking here last season frequently spoiled the market for many a ‘“lobster” dealer. “Bill” Langford, formerly in the employ of George Rose and well known to local habitues of the track, is issuing an elab- orate turf souvenir in Chicago from the roceeds of which he expects to reap arge dividends. Harry Lowden, the hustling entry clerk, has severed his connection with the Cali- fornia Jockey Club people. The programme or score card at Ingle- side track this season will be entirely de- vold of advertisements. It will be simi- lar to the old single card form. Every vacant window, garret, basement, cellar and empty room in the first block on Ellis street is being rapidly gobbled up by . prospective bookies for a pool room. Even the old barn on Glasgow alley is being dusted out, prior to the grand reopening. The Queer street math- ematiclans figure that with the *“old board” going out and the “new one’” com- ing in there will be nothing doing for a couple of months at least, and seem jubi- | lant over the fact that everything will be wide open. Double Quick, recently purchased in the East by “Curly” Brown, won the last race on the card at Latonia yesterday, it being his first start with the starter’'s colors up. Brown, who is looming up as quite a successful owner, recently gave out that he had forsaken the starting business. From all accounts Tom Ryan held an old-fashioned watermelon bee at Chicago the last two weeks of racing there, at which the bookmakers were all invited. He handed them two hot ones in The Pride and Dunois, and now they don’t like his game. The first named was pounded down from 20 to 1, to 8 to 5. Another batch of horsemen got in on last night’s overland train. Marsh Redos was the first one to reach his hotel and told three new yarns to a group of friends before registering. He will be on the block to-morrow. Al Legg and Andy Blakeley were also about town. Blakeley left h#s timber-toppers behind, bringing out Lady Meddlesome and an- other two-year-old. ‘Willie Sink, the former publisher of a handicap, better known now as the owner of the crack colt Formero, accompanied by Mr. Sink Sr., stepped off the train. Mr. Sink had on the horse car attached to the train Formero, Rio Chico, Board- man and one other. In the same car one of the Ryan brothers sent three horses along. _About this trio an air of secrecy was observed. Before leavin Chicago, Alvarado II, one of the Sinl string, was sold to Bromley & Co. for $2000. The erratic gelding is said to have developed into a wonderful jum?er.

Lacazette, the saloon keeper, who was set upon and beaten by a gang of roughs at Pacific and Kearny streets a short time ago, died in the French Hos- pital yesterday morning. Shortly after the death was reported to Captain Bo- hen he detailed Policemen McMahon and Fowle to arrest the assailants. Last night they arrested two young men named Frank Jackson and James McDon- ough, on suspicion of being implicated in the assault. They will be held pend- ing further investigation. The police have thus far been unable to establish the identity of the man who purloined ette’s gold watch, as he lay uncon- scious in the Harbor Hospital. =Fearing arrest the thief returned the watch by malil. Captain Bohen is satisfied that he knows the man who robbed the help- less saloon keeper, but for lack of evi- dence he does not intend to arrest him. —_————— A Thieving Packer.

Official Body Will See the Laws Are Fulfilled in the Interior Towns as Well as Here. i The first move toward making the pufe foods agitation a State matter was made vesterday in the rooms of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association in the Mills building. The pure foods commit- tee of that body called a meeting of the eral who have been prominent in the cause. Those responding were A. Sbar- boro, president of the organization; J. W. Kerr, chairman of the committee; Direc- tors Charles H. Crocker, Samuel McKee, Charles R. Allen, J. P. Currier, Inspector J. P. Dockery, Edmund Godchaux, secre- tary of the State Board of Health, and Drs. Baum and J. M. Williamson, of the same State body. President Sbarboro stated that the ob- ject of the gathering was to take steps on the line of having the next Legisla- ture enact. laws in the interests of pure foods that will effect the whole State. As it is now the only people who seem to be interested are the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, the Board of Health and a few others. Outside of the city no attention is paid to these laws and when the local officers attempt to have them put into operation in the coun. try they are met with opposition. This was shown in the attempfs of Inspector Dockery when he went outside of San Francisco to prevent impure milk from being sent here. Chafrman Kerr, in his report of the good work done in this cause, said it should be extended all over the State. As it is now when a certain line or brand of impure or adulterated goods is con- demned in this city they are sent to some of the other citles and there sold, as they had been here. He said there are two DrO%Dsl!lon! to be considered, the health of the people first and the commercial in- terest next. In California the finest fruit jams, jellies and preserves of the world are made. These in their unadulterated condition command the best of prices in the markets of the Old World. People who have no wish to maintain the:good name of the State have been adultergting these articles until the products of Cali- fornia are no longer in demand. Upon Mr. Kerr's motion the pure foods committee was authorized to confer with Attorney J. J. Dunne and the Board of Health with a view to making the move- ment a State affair and having some kind of commission provided for, whose duties it shall be to see the laws carried out In all parts of the State. Mr. Godchaux, Dr. Baum, as well Dr. Williamson and as the others present, thought it would be an excellent idea, and a special meet- ing will be called within a short time to further discuss the best means of carry- ing out the propositions suggested. —_—e—————— Death of Professor Packard.
